[Dark Lord Simon de Montfort]

{A highlight package showing mostly Ryan Blade’s conquest to victory leading up to Bloody Assizes in the Man Of Steel path. His various submissions, and eventually his first pay-per view victory against Daniel Constantine, as he holds the Man of Steel championship high in the air}

Trent Helms: “Welcome ladies and gentlemen, those of you watching from your computers at home, this is the Man of Steel house show! I am your Lord of Commentary, Trent Helms, and joining me tonight is the head of the Man of Steel Division, Marcus Archer!”

Marcus Archer: “Thank you Trent, we have some great matches tonight. The reason the Steel division is unique is because we don’t have weight classes, and we focus solely on technique wrestling.”

Trent Helms: “So how do you feel that the young firestarter, Ryan Blade, is the first ever IWF Champion?”

Marcus Archer: “I’m still a little worried that this quick success in the young man’s career may be damning in the long run, however, I’m excited to have a fresh face to lead this division.”

Trent Helms: “Speaking of Ryan Blade, how do you feel about what is transgressing between Blade and Jacobsen, some say that Blade’s opponent tonight, Xavier Cross, owes Blade for the championship he now holds. Having attacked Jacobsen during the Heavyweight scramble, just before Xavier picked up the final pin on Jacobsen.”

Marcus Archer: “Controversy sells my good man, and Blade is a kid willing to do what it takes, to take the respect he wants, and craves. I’m excited to see what is going to happen between those two men.”

SINGLES MATCH
MAN OF STEEL RULES

Marcus Archer: “First off tonight, we have a man of steel match between Alex Jones, and Seth Evans, should be a good fight.”

Trent Helms: “Both men are…ugh…I’ll try to be as professional as possible. But this may be a nice start for one of them?...”

Alex Jones vs Seth Evans

{Highlights from the beginning of the match, Evans managed to keep Alex on the mat. Using a strange series of submissions, holds, and strikes to keep Alex at bay, almost looking like a mirror image of his buddy, Andrew Jacobsen. However, Evans makes the mistake of going for a pin, which Alex is able to use as time to recover. Seth seems frustrated, forgetting it’s a Man of Steel rules match. Alex manages to get an advantage after nearly taking Evan’s head off with a huge flying knee strike}

Trent Helms: “Serious Error by Seth Evans, it seems he had his mind too focused, how do you forget…ugh, I’m just so confused by his lack of understanding.”

Marcus Archer: “Easy Trent, its Evan’s first time in a man of steel match, and he had an early advantage against Jones let’s see how this plays out.”

{The second part of the match is Alex Jones showing why he was the one to end Verona’s reign, channeling some classic Jones, using his speed, aerial athletics, and striking prowess to bat around Seth Evans like a cat playing with a ball of yawn. Evan’s ends up on the wrong end of a Xtreme Combo from Jones, whose kick impact to the back of Evan’s creates a vicious echo.}

Trent Helms: “Yay…Alex Jones has control..”

Marcus Archer: “I’m sensing a bit of disdain in you Helms, history between you and Alex?”

Trent Helms: “If he was important enough, I’d probably launch into a tirade, but instead I’ll just sit here and try not to fall asleep.”

{Jones attempts a spinal tap, but ends up eating the mat, as Evans is able to get out of the way just in time. Evans sends a hard kick to the side of Alex Jones’s rip cage, almost in revenge for the Xtreme Combo earlier. Evans backs off, waiting like a predator, as Jones picks himself up, staggering a bit, he turns to see Evans waiting, as Jones charges forward with a clothesline, Evans ducks, and locks in The Headcase. Jones is forced to tap out immediately}

Trent Helms: “Woo…Seth Evans wins…”

Marcus Archer: “Very interesting match between both men, this could be a turning point for Seth Evan’s career.”

Trent Helms: “Next up, we got Motor City Mafia, aka The Awesome Children, Steve Awesome’s lackeys. Who made quite the impact on Sacrifice last week.”

Marcus Archer: “It’ll be interesting, I almost wish we had a tag team Man of Steel match.”

Trent Helms: “Good things, in moderation.”

TAG TEAM MATCH
The Natural vs The Motor City Mafia

{Winchester and Matthews start the match off, Winchester coming out angry and brutal in a JackHammer-esc display. Throwing some vicious forearms smashes to the face of Matthew’s, forcing him into the corner. Throwing Matthews across the corner, towards Jackhammer, The Naturals get the early advantage. Winchester gets the tag in, JH and Winchester combine with a powerbomb-handman’s neckbreaker onto Matthews. Winchester exits the ring, as Jackhammer deals with the small Matthews.}

Trent Helms: “Early cohesion for The Naturals, will Matthews be able to get Rotten in?”

Marcus Archer: “The Motor City Mafia is going to be great life blood for the Tag Division, but I feel like both men individually could find success…”

{JackHammer picks Matthews up by the throat, lifting him into the air. Matthews manages to send a hard kick to the side of JH, causing the large man to drop Matthews back to the mat. Jayson tries to pick himself up, but has sustained some damage after the double team attack by the Naturals. He attempts to get up, and make his way to the corner, but JackHammer manages to grab Matthews by the leg sending him face first into the mat. The large Jackhammer drops a hard elbow onto the side of Jayson Matthews}

Marcus Archer: “Can’t let Matthews get the hot tag now.”

Trent Helms: “It’s over unless Jackhammer slips up.”

{Jackhammer lifts Jayson up by his sides, and back to his feet, mocking the smaller fighter before slapping him in the face. Matthews responds with an eye rack, sending Jackhammer staggering back clutching his eyes. Matthews knees nearly give up on him, as he staggers backwards into the corner. Winchester manages to get the tag from the blind Jackhammer, as Rotten slaps Matthews back, entering the ring. Meeting Winchester in the center of the ring with a huge right, Winchester pops back up only to be dropped again with a huge clothesline from Johnny Rotten. Rotten turns his back, to Jackhammer who is still holding his eyes, charging forward hitting Jackhammer with a vicious clothesline that sends the big man tumbling over the ropes to the ground below.}

{Rotten turns his attention back to Winchester, who is staggering back to his feet. Sending a hard kick into the midsection of Winchester, Rotten sets Winchester up for the Rotten Bomb, he quickly lifts Winchester up before slamming him to the mat. Jackhammer has returned to his feet, but quickly Matthews charges the apron leaping into the air knocking the big man down, as Rotten covers Winchester for the pin}

1…2…3

After the match is over and The Naturals lose another match. JackHammer stands there looking pissed off and just stares at his parnter Duke Winchester. JackHammer just shakes his head and looks to be leaving the ring. Duke Winchester tries to stop JackHammer from leaving and tries to talk him saying he's sorry for that they lost the match and it won't happen again. JackHammer nods as he listens to Duke Winchester talk to him. Duke Winchester extends his hand, JackHammer looks to shake Duke Winchester's hand but instead levels him with a vicouis lariat. Duke Winchester does a 180 degree flip in the air before crashing hard to the mat. JackHammer then slides out of the ring and reaches underneath and pulls out a table then slides it into the ring as Angel Black and Goliath just stand there. JackHammer gets back in and sets the table up as Duke Winchester slowly starts to stir. JackHammer helps Duke Winchester up fully then with a wicked grin grabs Duke Winchester by the throat and lifts him high up before bringing Duke Winchester crashing through the table with a Earth Tremble! JackHammer stands there looking at Duke Winchester for a minute then leaves the ring then heads for the back with Angel Black and Goliath as the fans boo.

SINGLES MATCH
Freakke the Clown vs Gjenrei

Trent Helms: “Great tag action, now we’re going back to singles matches. We got Freakke versus Gjenrei”

Marcus Archer: “I’m looking forward to seeing both these men fight, especially against each other.”

{Gjenrei comes out strong, keeping Freakke at a distance with various martial arts strikes. Gjenrei manages to duck underneath a right hook from the Clown, spring boarding off the ropes, planting a vicious dropkick in the center of Freakke’s chest. Gjenrei exits the ring, onto the apron, springboarding off the top rope, he aims a huge leg drop, Freakke rolls out of the way just in time as Gjenrei crashes to the mat.}

Marcus Archer: “This is some of Angel’s nonsense…”

Trent Helms: “This is my kind of match!”

{Freakke returns to his feet, eyeing his opponent before knocking him down. Gjenrei still on the defensive as Freakke starts delivering some vicious kicks. Freakke gets a running start before doing a bottom rope spring board stomping his feet onto the face Gjenrei, who’s nose has busted from the impact}

Trent Helms: “BLOOD IN THE WATER.”

Marcus Archer: “There is no style in this, only barbaric idiocy.”

Trent Helms: “These men are doing it right Marky Mark!”

{Blood is flowing from the mask, as Freakke oversells being tired. Gjenrei slowly returns to his feet clutching his head, feeling the blood running down. Freakke looks up only to catch a huge shining wizard, taking Freakke off his feet, Gjenrei falls ontop of the Clown, sending down hard rights and lefts, but the ref manages to separate them. Freakke tries to stand up but staggers a bit having had his screws loosened with the kick. Suddenly the referee steps in to this one and calls for the match to end due to the extent of Freakke's bleeding to the digust of the audience and Gjenrei, who is furious of having this win taken from him! }

SINGLES MATCH
Bushido vs Jake Keeton
Brad Kane is Special Guest Referee

Markus Archer: “Now here, we have ourselves an interesting match. A special guest ref, let’s see what the rules look like through a competitor’s eyes.”

Trent Helms: “Brad Kane can be a dick, but he’s usually fairly honest about it.”

{Keeton gets an early advantage, after a lock up into a headlock combination, Bushido forces Keeton into the ropes, before taking him down with a vicious knee to the gut. Bushido drops his knee onto Keeton’s throat, Brad Kane immediately breaks it up. Bushido and Kane stare down for a moment, before Keeton catches Bushido off guard with an elbow to the gut, before a snap DDT}

Marcus Archer: “Brad Kane showing the rules early, playing it right by the books.”

Trent Helms: “He could have let Bushido choke ‘em a little bit…”

{Keeton keeps up his offense, Bushido returns to his feet quickly, in annoyance as he shoots Kane a look before locking up with Keenton again. Bushido gets the advantage, hitting a snap suplex, turning around locking Keeton into an armbar, wrenching back, Bushido is aiming to make Keeton tap. Jake gets his leg on the rope, as Brad calls for the break. Bushido refuses staring up at Brad, who begins counting…1…2..Bushido breaks the hold, as Keenton rolls away, clutching his arm. Bushido and Brad have another stare down}

Trent Helms: “Bushido is seeing how far Brad will let him go before intervening, he’s playing mind games with a referee!”

Marcus Archer: “Obviously these two have issues they need to sort out..”

{Bushido removes Brad’s hand from his shoulder, before turning to see Keeton returning to his feet. Bushido sends a hard kick to the gut of Keeton, before setting up for the Dragon’s Wings finish, turning it so he can stare Brad Kane down the entire time, Keeton’s body is slammed down onto the mat, as Bushido gets the pin. Brad drops to his knees, counting it.}

1…2…3

{Brad goes to lift Bushido’s arm up, who thinks Brad is grabbing him again, so he pushes him off. As the two men get in each other’s face}

SINGLES MATCH
CHAMPION VS CHAMPION
MAN OF STEEL RULES
Ryan Blade vs Xavier Cross

Marcus Archer: “Time to show off the prize of the Man of Steel Division, Ryan Blade!”

Trent Helms: “Who is facing a man who is off to a start no one believed he could have had. Xavier Cross, the World Heavyweight Champion!”

{Blade and Cross lock up in the center of the ring to start the match off. Blade takes an early advantage with a European Uppercut, pushing Cross into the ropes, Cross rebounds hitting Blade with a shoulder block, before charging into the ropes, rebounding, he comes back over towards Blade, who slides, and hits a top toe hold, into an Ankle Lock! Cross fights it for a moment, before tucking his shoulder, rolling out of it. Both he and Blade are back to one knee, Cross clutching his ankle making sure nothing was out of place.}

Trent Helms: “Great start for both men. Blade with the quick submission.”

Marcus Archer: “This is the kind of wrestling the man of steel division means!”

{Both men lock up again in the center of the ring, this time Cross getting the advantage, as he wrenches Ryan’s arm backwards, Ryan immediately reverses getting behind Cross wrenching the arm, but reaching his arm around Cross’s waist, Ryan falls back throwing Cross in a tuck armed german suplex. Blade immediately gets back to his feet, aiming a few well places stomps onto the elbow of Xavier Cross}

Trent Helms: “Ryan Blade, the man of steel himself, is a vicious SOB.”

Marcus Archer: “He’s weakening the arm for the guillotine choke he’s so fond of, Cross won’t be able to break out of it..”

{Cross immediately grabs onto Blade’s leg, wrapping his own legs around it with lightning speed. Cross tucks his shoulder, rolling bringing Ryan Blade to the mat, Cross wrenches down and has the Crossword Puzzle. Cross has his back to the entrance ramp, so he’s unable to see the man delivering the boot to the back of his head is Xander Famularo. Blade clutches his knee a bit, rolling out of the way to watch the destruction unravel. Xander picks Cross up to his feet, who is dazed from the sneak attack, Xander picks Xavier up, and nails the Mushroom Cloud, Cross’s body goes limp in the corner. Xander stands there for a moment, looking down at Xavier, before exiting the ring.}

Trent Helms: “Son of a bitch…Xander left his mark tonight…”

Marcus Archer: “Good lord what a brute…Cross may be unconscious…”

{Blade looks around a bit surprised, before a smirk comes across his face. He drags Xavier to the center of the ring, sending a hard kick to his side. Blade leans down, looking to lock in Xavier Cross’s Crossword Puzzle onto his knocked out opponent to add insult to injury. But the fans start going wild, as Andrew Jacobsen hits the ring in street clothes. Blade has enough time to return to his feet before Jacobsen KO’s him with a Lights Out! Superkick. Jacobsen glances at Cross, before standing over Blade’s body, as the ref begins to count.}

1…

{Neither man is moving, Jacobsen has exited the ring into the crowd. Xander is standing at the top of the entrance ramp, down into the ring to a chorus of boos}

{ We end our House Show with a draw. Xander has sent a message and Jacobsen claims a measure of vengeance over Ryan Blade! }

MATCH
HEIRESS TO THE THRONE
TAG TEAM MATCH
Tifa Heafy & Jessica Reed vs Ayla St. James & Alysson Gardner

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

{People get on their feet when they hear the beginning of "Dammit" by Blink-182 starts to blare through the P.A. system. From the back running comes Tifa Heafy with a giant smile on her face. The crowd cheers for the rookie as she begins to walk to the ring slapping all the hands that are in front of her.}

Alison Valance: "Introducing first.... From Chicago, Illinois.... Tifa Heafy"

{When at ringside Tifa sprints into the ring and pops up to her feet before going to the turnbuckles to pose for the fans. Flashbulbs go off as Tifa hops down and waves to the fan, the music fading off.}

{ After a few moments Jessica’s music, "Die Young" by Ke$ha, begins to pump out of the PA System as the crowd cheer for the young Jessica Reed who appears from behind the curtain, waving with both hands at the audience in her sports bra and gym shorts.}

Alison Valance: "And her partner... From Albany, New York.... Jessica Reed!"

{After a few moments she starts to make her way excitedly down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans as she goes before reaching the ring steps. She climbs up them and then subsequently climbs the turnbuckle where she proceeds to pump the crowd up before hopping down into the ring where she eyes up her opponent, ready for the match to begin. }


{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.}

Alison Valance: "And the opponents.... From New York City by way of Paris, France.... Alysson Gardner!"

{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.}

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

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

Alison Valance: "And finally.... From Montreal, Quebec, Canada.... Ayla St. James!"

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

Terri Morasca: "This should be an excellent Diamonds Tag Match. Ayla and Aly are an established duo, and Jessica and Tifa are just starting out together."

Vasco Dias: "Heiress to the Throne points are on the line. Let's get this thing going."

{Ayla St. James and Jessica Reed take to the ring to start off the match, with Jessica quickly swooping in for the attack. Ayla hits a back elbow on Jessica and whips her into the ropes, catching her with a knee to the gut as she rebounds. Ayla pulls Jessica in and goes for the Spinning Neckbreaker, but Jessica breaks free and pushes Ayla back, hitting a Standing Dropkick. Ayla's up quickly with a Clothesline attempt, but Jessica ducks it and hits the ropes, coming off with a Running Front Dropkick that sends Ayla to the mat, but she rolls through and back to her feet. Ayla runs forward and hits Jessica with a Knee Lift as she's getting to her feet, and then hits her Spinning Neckbreaker. Ayla goes for the early pin and gets a one count, before dragging Jessica to her feet. Ayla sends Jessica into the ropes again and hits her with a Rotundo Hip Toss as she rebounds. Jessica sits up, holding her back, and Ayla comes from behind and hits a Running Neck Snap. St. James goes for the pin again. 1... 2. Barely a two count, and Ayla rips Jessica up by her hair and pulls her to the corner, tagging in Alysson Gardner. Ayla slams Jessica back to the mat by her hair and Alysson jumps into the ring and stomps down across her head as Ayla makes her exit.}

Vasco Dias: "Ayla and Aly are already showing that they're a great team, making the early tag here."

Terri Morasca: "It's all about keeping the fresh woman in the ring, and constantly being on the attack."

Trent Helms: "You know who was a great tag team? Close Encounters of the Awesome Kind..."

{Alysson wrenches Jessica's arm as she picks her up, before releasing it and stunning her with a Bell Clap to the head, and planting Reed with a Body Slam. Alysson turns around to perform a Standing Moonsault, but Reed barrel rolls to her corner. Alysson turns around just as Jessica makes the tag, and Tifa hits the ring, where she immediately ducks a punch and delivers a forearm shot... and another to the chin of Gardner. Heafy backs Gardner into the ropes and tries to send her off with the Irish Whip, but Gardner reverses the momentum and sends Tifa instead. Alysson ducks down catch the rebounding woman with a Back Body Drop, but Tifa goes under and hits a Drop Toe Hold, before dropping to the mat and slapping on a Side Headlock to the downed opponent. Alysson pushes herself to onto her hands and knees, as Tifa goes to her knees as well while she keeps the Headlock on. The redhead gets up even further and grabs Tifa with her right arm, lifting the woman up and dropping her down with a Sidewalk Slam. Gardner is up quickly and gets set, nailing Heafy with a Spin Kick as she gets to her feet. Alysson calmly makes the tag to her partner, before lifting Heafy to her feet and holding her in place as Ayla ascends to the top turnbuckle and comes off... drilling Tifa with a perfect Missile Dropkick. Ayla goes for the pin as Alysson exits the ring. 1.... 2... Tifa kicks out.}

Vasco Dias: "These two... these two b-words really know how to get things done in the ring."

Trent Helms: "Bumblebees? Bananas? What b-word are you talking about, Vasco?"

Vasco Dias: "You know what I'm talking about, Helms. It's in their team name."

Terri Morasca: "It's okay to say 'bitches'. It's what these two ladies are. They're bad bitches."

Trent Helms: "You said it, not us."

{St. James gets up and drops and elbow down across Heafy's back as she tries to turn over to push up to her feet. The devious Canadian then seizes the opportunity to grabs Heafy's legs and locks on the Boston Crab. Tifa drags herself and Ayla to the corner, trying to get to her team's corner, but she can't make it, so instead, she pushes her upper body off of the mat and turns her body, forcing St. James to turn as well... putting Tifa on her back. St. James bends down to turn the move back over, but Heafy reaches up and grabs her head, pulling her into the Inside Cradle! Tifa goes for the surprise pin. 1.... 2... Ayla breaks free and both women are up quickly with Ayla booting her opponent in the gut. She pulls Tifa into DDT position, but the Kane protege breaks free and pulls Ayla into a Short-Arm Clothesline. Ayla gets up quickly again and charges, but Tifa hits a deep Arm Drag... and Ayla gets up less quickly this time... walking into a kick to the stomach. Tifa pulls Ayla into Piledriver position and lifts her up... but Gardner comes in from behind with a Double Axe Smash to the back of Heafy, causing her to drop the opponent. As the referee gets Gardner out of the ring, Ayla steps back and waits for Tifa to recover... before leaping in and hitting her Cut! Leaping Leg Lariat. St. James goes for the pin. 1... 2... Jessica Reed breaks up the pin!}

Vasco Dias: "It looks like Gardner is complaining to the referee about the interference, but all is fair in love and war, I guess."

Terri Morasca: "Especially considering Gardner herself just pulled basicall the same thing."

{Ayla gets up to her feet and stares down Reed for a moment, before planting a boot in Heafy's shoulder. The Canadian star grabs Heafy and holds her up by the head before driving her back down with the X Factor Facebuster. She rolls Tifa over and drags her over towards the corner by the legs before tagging in Alysson Gardner, who immediately climbs to the top turnbuckle and walks across the top rope like a cat. She leaps off and flips, hitting Tifa Heafy with a Moonsault that knocks the air out of the rookie wrestler. Alysson hooks the leg and goes for the pin. 1.... 2.... Tifa gets her other foot across the bottom rope! Aly drags Tifa away from the ropes and goes for the pin again. 1... 2... Tifa kicks out again! Alysson gets to her feet and gets Tifa into a seated position before hitting the ropes and connecting with a Low Dropkick to the face. She mounts Heafy and delivers some stinging punches as the referee counts to five for her to break the assault. Gardner steps back to the corner and waits as Heafy gets to a vertical base and turns around. Aly charges in with a big Spear, but Tifa leapfrogs it. Alyson stops before hitting the turnbuckles and turns around into a kick to the stomach... before Tifa pulls her into position, lifting and drilling her quickly with a Piledriver! This one goes uninterrupted and both women are down for a moment, with Tifa crawling into the cover. 1... 2.... Gardner kicks out! Ayla had entered the ring to break up the pin, but Gardner didn't need her assistance in this case. Heafy rolls to her stomach and starts to crawl towards her corner to make the hot tag to Jessica Reed as Gardner starts to recover as well. Tifa gets close to making the tag, but Gardner grabs her leg at the last moment and pulls her back to the center of the ring.}

Trent Helms: "She almost got the tag there. It was closer than the relationship between these Bitches With Attitude... and that's close. Almost too close, in fact."

Terri Morasca: "And exactly what are you insinuating, Trent?"

Vasco Dias: "Tifa had better make the tag before her time runs out in this match."

Trent Helms: "Saved by the play-by-play guy."

{Alysson drags Tifa back to the corner and tags in Ayla who stomps away at Heafy's body before dragging her to her feet and delivering a stiff chop to the chest. Tifa responds by swinging wildly with a punch, but Ayla ducks it and spins her around, locking on a Sleeper Hold! It's only on for a matter of seconds though, as Heafy grabs Ayla's head and drops down, driving her head into Ayla's jaw with a counter Jawbreaker. St. James stumbles back and Tifa goes toward the corner again, looking to make the hot tag. Ayla grabs for her foot, but Tifa lunges forward and hits the outreached hand of Jessica Reed, tagging the cosplayer into the match! Jessica Reed jumps to the top and springboards off, hitting Ayla St. James with a Crossbody Block. Both women are up quickly with Reed hitting the ropes and coming off and jumping, hitting Ayla with a Hurricanrana Whip that sends her tumbling into the corner. Ayla uses the ropes to stand up as Jessica comes running in, planting her feet into Ayla's sternum before flipping her through the air with a Monkey Flip. Jessica climbs to the second turnbuckle and starts to clap her hands above her head, causing the audience to clap along in unison as Ayla gets to her feet. Reed leaps from the second turnbuckle and catches Ayla around the neck, driving her down with a Tornado DDT! Jessica rolls into the cover. 1.... 2.... St. James kicks out!}

Vasco Dias: "Jessica Reed has hit the ring like a house on fire! She's as fresh as a daisy!"

Trent Helms: "...I don't understand what either of those sayings mean. But she is kicking butt right now."

{Jessica gets to a vertical base and pulls Ayla up as well, jumping up onto her neck and looking for the Hurricanrana. Ayla manages to hold onto her legs and drive Jessica into the B.W.A. corner, tagging in Gardner. Ayla tosses Reed to the mat, but the young star lands on her feet... right before Gardner leaps off the top and catches her with the Tornado Scream Hurricanrana! Jessica hits hard and gets up, holding her neck. Alysson charges her and nails a Spear takes Reed to the mat. She goes on top for the pin. 1.... 2... Tifa Heafy breaks up the pin! St. James jumps into the ring and runs at Tifa as she ducks down to head back to apron, catching the young woman from behind and pushing her out to the arena floor. The referee admonishes Ayla and forces her out of the ring as Aly Gardner lifts Reed to her feet and drives her into the turnbuckles, lifting her to the top rope. Alysson hits a big punch that stuns Reed, allowing the redheaded wife of Spike Kane to climb to the top turnbuckle as well. She taunts the crowd and looks to hit the G-Spot, but Reed kicks her away and Gardner tumbles backwards. Alysson rolls through and stumbles back, allowing Ayla to tag in and charge Jessica Reed in the corner. Reed leaps to the side and tags in Tifa, as Ayla hits the turnbuckles with her chest and face. Tifa jumps over the top rope and runs to the ropes, coming off and drilling Ayla St. James with a Running Yakuza Kick! She crawls on top for the pin. 1.... 2.... 3! Alyson Gardner dives to make the save, but it's just a moment too late!}

Alison Valance: "Here are your winners by pinfall..... JESSICA REED AND TIFAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HEAFY!"

{Heafy rolls under the bottom and out of the ring to avoid Alysson Gardner, and her tag team partner meets her as Tifa's music blares through the arena. The referee comes between them and raises both women's arms in victory.}

Terri Morasca: "All four of these women deserved to win here tonight, but only two of them could. Tifa and Jessica pick up the big points in the Heiress to the Throne tournament!"

Vasco Dias: "Those four broads can all hang with the best. Any one of them deserve to be our first Diamonds Champion."

Trent Helms: "The nerds beat the bitches tonight. Much like the Yakuza Kick, who could have seen that one coming?"

Vasco Dias: "Certainly not poor Ayla St. James."

{Tifa Heafy and Jessica Reed run up the ramp and high five with fans on both sides as Gardner and St. James gather themselves in the ring. Alysson helps Ayla up as the two glare down the aisleway at the victors, a look that no woman would wish to be on the receiving end of, there may be hell to pay.}

"The Gauntlet is Thrown Down"

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

{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 a slight smirk. Brad Kane stands on the stage before beginning his walk to the ring. He slaps a few hands that stick out before hopping up onto the apron and entering the ring. The music quickly dies down while Brad has a microphone handed to him. Brad takes a few moments before raising the microphone to his face.}

Brad Kane: Now last night you saw me ref a match between Jake Keeton and Bushido and I'd like to think I did a fair enough job at it. Tried to keep it fair and unbiased the entire way despite a friendship and a bit of a friendly rivalry with Jake. I still questioned why was I having to don the stripes for the match that those two men had last night and a great match it was.

{Everyone claps in agreement if they were there for it last night. Those who weren't probably read some write up about it. Brad is allowed to continue on after the cheers settle down.}

Brad Kane: Then I got to thinking about this last night. As we know I pinned Alex Jones on the first ever pay per view...

{A good reaction from the crowd which causes Brad to smirk.}

Brad Kane: What else happened on that show? Bushido was crowned the first Cruiserweight Champion in this company's history. A great accomplishment and one he should treasure because, Bushido, come July 21st at Lineage, that belt goes around my waist.

{The crowd cheers because they love seeing challenges thrown out like this. Brad looks at the entry way continuing to speak.}

Brad Kane: I have been a Cruiserweight, Light Heavyweight, Junior Heavyweight Champion through my career. First title I won was a Cruiserweight Title. The past nine years I've kept true to my styles of wrestling and always enjoyed putting on the best possible action for the fans in this ring for titles like this. So, Bushido, you going to back down from a challenge for your first defense or are you going to come out here and give me an answer?

{A few seconds pass without a response before "Serious Japanese", by The Teriyaki Boyz hits the speakers. The Red Sun burns in the middle of the jumbotron but instead of Bushido coming out, his manager Miranda saunters out sexily in a body hugging yellow mini-skirt with white heels. The crowd somewhat cheers but boos mostly. She stands on stage with a mic in her hand.}

Miranda von Matterhorn: What makes you think you have any right to challenge our heroic champion?

{She feints waiting on a reply before holding up her finger.}

Miranda von Matterhorn: On second thought, don't answer that. Bushido is a very busy man. Unlike you he has other worthwhile priorities that takes up most of his time. Like fighting the injustices of the Americas. So, unfortunately, he's not here tonight.

{The crowd's reaction leans more towards booing right now.}

Miranda von Matterhorn: Now I know he and I are going through some... "personal issues" right now but I am still his manager and as such I will relay this information to him and maybe, just maybe we'll have an answer for you next week, big guy.

{She begins to walk backstage as the crowd is definitely completely booing now before stopping short with a finger in the air like she forgot something and then turning to face Brad.}

Miranda von Matterhorn: I wouldn't hold my breath though.

{She smiles prettily as she waves good-bye at Brad. Brad looks at the entry way before mouthing wow at how Miranda looked before getting serious again. He shrugs his shoulders handing the microphone back off to ringside before exiting the ring. Brad slaps more hands and talks to some of the fans before stopping on the entry way. The next thing he knows Bushido sprays the blood mist into the eyes, blinding Brad and then following it up by forcing him to eat the title! Holy smokes the crowd hates this while Bushido raises his title high into the air. The champion heads to the back ignoring some refs
who check on Brad's condition.}

RUBY CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
THREE WAY TAG MATCH
Jennifer Famularo & Kate Steele vs Ashley Mastrangelo & Amber Richards vs Portia Roberts & Alexis Morrison

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

{"Smile", by Avril Lavigne hits the speakers as Kate Steele stands on stage with her electric guitar. She plays a few chords before Jennifer comes out and rocks with her on stage for a few seconds. The guitar is then put down and Jennifer and Kate bounce their way down the ramp as energetic as can be, interacting with the fans the entire way before sliding into the ring and preparing for the match to start.}

Terri Morasco: Word in the back is that both of these ladies had a falling out with management. This could be the last time we see them in an IWF ring.

Trent Helms: Wonder how Xander is going to feel about that.

{The intro of Paramore's “Now” kicks up as the lights fall low and Portia steps out from behind the curtain, with her pink and black boxer's robe covering her face, she bounces a few times on the ramp, before flipping the hood down and making her way down the ramp. She stops at the bottom of the ramp, and motion to the crowd to make more noise, she doe a quick lap around the ring, slapping hands with the fans before sliding into the ring, she drops to one knee with her head bowed, to say a quick prayer, before slamming her fists into the mat and hopping back onto her feet as she lets out a huge scream to amp herself up for the match.}

Vasco Dias: Portia Roberts is yet to succeed here in IWF but tonight could be her night.

{"All Eyes On Me" by Voice Of Destiny plays over the sound system as the light scopes sync to the beat of the bass. Alexis emerges from the back wearing her usual attire and walks down to the ring with a smirk slowly forming, she slides her hand through her locks and climbs up onto the apron and enters the IWF ring, where she goes to the far corner and props herself against it.}

Trent Helms: All she needs to do is get along with Alexis Morrison who I hear is hard to get along with cause she cray cray.

{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. Suddenly her music is cut off as "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 and Ashley then make their way down to the ring.}

Terri Morasco: Looks like Amber Richards and Ashley Mastrangelo are showing a little unity here. This could be a bad thing for the rest of the ladies.

{Six ladies in the ring begin to discuss with one another on who should start. Amber Richards immediately steps up for her team while both Jenny and Kate step out of the ring, pointing at Portia and Alexis as if allowing them to go up first. Alexis decides to go after Portia pushed her towards Amber.}

Terri Morasco: Every single one of these ladies deserve a shot at Tara's belt. This might be the match of the night, boys.

Trent Helms: Unless I see some undies I really don't care.

Vasco Dias: For once I agree with Trent.

{The ref starts the match and immediately Amber strikes with a front kick to the gut. Alexis keels over and then finds herwself wrapped up in Richards' arms who snaps her over with a Snap Suplex. Amber then locks in a Rear Chin Lock, keeping Alexis grounded while Portia shouts instructions from her corner. Eventually Morrison gets two feet under her and drills a couple of back elbows into Amber's midsection, forcing her to loosen her grip. Alexis tries to run out of the hold but Amber grabs chunks of her hair and just viciously yanks her back to the ground, blowing loose strands that remained on her fingers.}

Vasco Dias: Poor Alexis. Looks like she might be going bald after this one.

Trent Helms: That chick is freaky. She'd probably love that hairstyle.

Terri morasco: The real story here is Amber's mean streak. I guess people were not playing when they said she was intense.

{Alexis holds her head and kicks at the mat until Amber mounts her and then begins repeatedly slamming the back of Alexis' head to the mat. Morrison is in a bad way until Portia steps into the ring and hits a flying knee to the back of Amber's head. The ref immediately begins pushing Portia back into her corner and as she does so, Jennifer runs into the ring, picks Alexis up and throws her out of the ring, taking her place in the competition by laying in boot after boot on Amber. Richards attempts to sit up but each time she receives a boot to her face until Famularo reaches down and brings Amber to her feet by her hair, whipping her into Steele/Famularo's corner. Jennifer then riles up Ashley who looks to step into the ring to shut her up until the ref comes over and stops her. Meanwhile, behind the ref's back, Kate has begun to choke Amber out with one of the turnbuckle's laces.}

Trent Helms: One ref with all them bitties is not going to cut it. These ladies have T & A and a dark side.

Vasco Dias: Whatever needs to be done to get the W. This match is for a shot at gold and they'd be dumb to pass this up.

Terri Morasco: IWF has the premiere ladies' league in all of professional wrestling so believe me when I say the noise will be brought.

{Jennifer joins Kate by kicking at Amber's midsection. The ref has finally turned around and Kate holds her arms up like she did nothing wrong. Jenny tags in Kate and together they pull Amber out of the corner, whipping her towards the rope in hopes of landing a Double Flapjack on the rebound. Unfortunately they each get a sole of Amber's boots to the chest when she front dropkicks both of the ladies. Jenny and Kate both roll out of the ring and Amber dives to tag in Ashley. Mastrangelo hurries into the ring and charges at Alexis with a forearm that knocks her off the apron and then swings with a backhand that catches Portia off guard, dropping her from the apron as well. Ashley raises her hands in the air as Amber stands and both ladies give each other the head's up before crisscrossing and both diving out of the ring, Amber taking out Jennifer and Kate while Ashley takes out Alexis and Portia. The crowd is going wild as the ref tries to gain back control.}

Terri Morasco: Amber and Ashley really are on fire tonight. I'm amazed by their ability to work together.

Vasco Dias: Sometimes odd pairings just click and tonight seems to be one of those nights.

Trent Helms: Amber has been impressive but both her and Ashley are straight on domination mode.

{Amber hurries to her feet and lies in wait as Jennifer begins standing right into a well placed superkick! While Ashley was on the other side also drilling Portia in the chin with her "Forget About It" superkick! Amber yells to Ashley to get her attention before rolling Kate back into the ring. Mastrangelo immediately slides in and crawls over to Kate, locking in a Dragon Sleeper and forcing her back to her feet before flipping over and snapping right into her "Rejection" (Dragon Sleeper flipped over into a Cutter)! Ashley immediately pins and Alexis tries to slide in to stop the count but Amber comes up from the side and takes her down with a Double Leg Takedown, wrapping her legs around her and turning her over into the "Scream Baby Scream" (Edgeucator)! The ref drops down and counts 1... 2... 3! And at the same time Alexis is tapping and the match is over.}

Terri Morasco: That match was shortlived. What an incredible victory for Amber and Ashley.

Vasco Dias: Indeed. Ashley and Amber were firing off on all cylinders and the competition just couldn't keep up.

Trent Helms: That was crazy quick.

{"Bones" hits the speakers and both ladies' arms are raised into the air. Ashley tries to hug Amber but she holds her back with her hand. Ashley gets the hint and instead heads to a turnbuckle where she celebrates with her fans while Amber just rolls out of the ring and continues to celebrate in her own way.}

She is dressed in her ring gear with a leather jacket over the top, her hair tied back as she walks past some of the production crew, she comes to a door that says "Angel: Cruiserweight head", she laughs to herself and opens the door walking right in to find Angel on the phone.}

Angel: I gotta go.....

{Angel hangs up and moves around the table before standing in front of Amber, after a few moments Amber and Angel embrace in a small hug, the crowd in the arena confused by this lets out a sound of slight anger.}

Angel: Sorry it took so long for us to speak in person.....

Amber Richards: It's ok, I get that you are a busy man....

Angel: I'm glad we had time to talk though...I know I left pretty quick when IWF started up.....

SINGLES MATCH
Rob Diamond vs Stephen Kingsley

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

Alision Valance: “Coming to the ring, standing at six feet, one inch, weighing in at two hundred and twenty pounds even. He hails from Greenwich, Connecticut….Rooooooob…DIAMOND!”

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

This is gonna hurt
This is gonna hurt you
This is gonna hurt you
More than it hurts me.
And I don’t wanna hurt
That’s why I’m gonna hurt you
That’s why I’m gonna hurt you
That’s how it’s gonna be.

{ He mouths the words a bit as he jumps off the ropes and leans against the turn buckles. }


Trent Helms: “One half of the tag champs in the building tonight!”

Vasco Dias: “InFamous has been on a roll, together, apart, these two men are unstoppable, and it’s up to Stephen Kingsley, the 6’8 giant, to possible end Rob Diamond’s streak tonight.”

Alision Valance: “Standing at six feet, eight inches, weighing in at three hundred, and fifteen pounds….he hails from Queensland, Australia…. STEPHEN…KIIINGSLEEEY!”

{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. Stephen has on his corked hat and his vest. Stephen uses the steps and before he steps into the ring, Stephen takes off his corked hat as an acknowledgement to the crowd and place it on the ring post. He steps into the ring and he takes off his vest and he hands it to an employee. Cyrus Daniels is in the ring with Stephen. He gives Stephen some last instructions before he steps out of the ring and onto the floor.}

Vasco Dias: “The height difference, the weight difference, and yet Kingsley is still the underdog.”

Trent Helms: “There are very few men that can step between the ropes with Rob Diamond, and be the favorite. He’s vicious, he’s technical, he’s pretty damn good at what he does.”

{The bell rings, as Diamond steps forward, feinting a kick, he catches Kingsley with a jab, before sending a hard right kick onto the knee trying to chop the tree. Kingsley reaches out, grabbing Diamond by the head, hitting Rob with a vicious head-butt, that sends him staggering into the ropes, as Diamond rebounds forward, he’s caught with a hard big boot, that puts him back to the mat. Kingsley immediately throws a hard stomp towards Diamond, who rolls out of the way, catching the big man in a drop toe hold, sending the 6’8 figure of Stephen Kingsley tumbling towards the mat}

Trent Helms: “Rob Diamond is never down, ever.”

Vasco Dias: “You’ll see him pull things out when you don’t expect it, and wrestling against this monster of a man, he’s gonna need it.”

{Diamond rolls up the leg, locking in a Boston Crab, wrench back on the monster Kingsley, Diamond is putting the pressure on, working on the same leg. Kingsley tries to power out of it, but Diamond is having none of it, keeping the hold locked in. Eventually Kingsley is able to reach his big hand out and grab onto the ring ropes, forcing Diamond to break the hold after letting the ref count to the three. Rob is back on his feet, taking aim at the leg once more, as he drops a knee right onto the ankle.}

Vasco Dias: “Diamond is focusing solely on that leg, trying to make sure Kingsley won’t be able to balance himself, or plant himself firmly.”

Trent Helms: “Vintage Rob Diamond, using strategy and such!”

{Diamond steps back, wanting to see if his work has paid off. Kingsley is clutching at his leg, using the ring ropes to pull himself back up. Kingsley staggers around, Diamond watches at the giant slowly limps over. Stepping forward he goes to swing another low kick, but Kingsley manages to side step, and connect with a hard right that sends Diamond into the corner. Kingsley runs forward splashing Diamond, letting the man stagger out. Kingsley quickly grabs Diamond, hitting a German-Suplex}

Trent Helms: “Turnabout is fair play..”

Vasco Dias: “Diamond may be in a spot of trouble not that Kingsley has the momentum.”

{Kingsley staggers around, still holding his leg as Diamond has done a tad bit of damage to it. Diamond is clutching the back of his neck after taking a hard bump from Kingsley, Diamond rolls around before lifting himself back to his feet as Kingsley charges forward, Diamond ducks a lariart, and looks to hit the Diamond Cutter, but Kingsley shoves him forward into the corner ring post}

Trent Helms: “Diamond was looking to finish it, that’s the most dangerous aspect of his game, he is able to end matches in the blink of an eye.”

Vasco Dias: “That’s why Diamond is one of the best, the Diamond Cutter is a devastating finisher that can be used in a whim.”

{Kingsley charges forward, looking to plow Diamond with a spear. Diamond ducks out of the way as Kingsley ramps shoulder first into the turnbuckle. The Croc staggers out, clutching his shoulder in pain, only to be struck down with a sudden Diamond Cutter! From Rob Diamond. Kingsley is laid out on the mat, as Rob Diamond drops to his knees pinning him}

1…2…3

Trent Helms: Looks like Diamond get's a measure of retribution here tonight.

Vasco Dias: Yeah, but now he has just pissed the big guy off. Not smart.

Terri Morasco: The question is, can Spike pull a double header?

Alison Valace:"Ladies and Gentlemen, this match is set for one fall, first coming down to the ring weighing 137 pounds from The Other Side she is....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. 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.

 "I Get Off" by Halestorm plays as Isabella Maldini comes to the ring.

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.

Eternity runs bouncing off the opposite rope and kicks Kat Conway right up the ass! Eternity then pulls Kat Conway back but is given a short sharp low blow! Kat Conway tags Emma Danielson back in as Eternity staggers backwards!

Terri Morasca:  Quick thinking from Kat Conway there!

Emma Danielson points at Eternity laughing and saying “ were friends right?”
Eternity backs off as Emma Danielson walks forward but then Isabella Maldini comes flying off the top rope with a drop kick to the back of Emma Danielson’s head! Emma Danielson stumbles into the ropes as Isabella Maldini points to the ropes calling for another Butt Kick! Eternity runs up and then wshen she gets close enough to kick she stops and looks at Emma Danielson “What are you doing?” Isabella Maldini screams! Eternity then tags in Isabella Maldini.

Isabella Maldini locks Emma Danielson in a leg lock and then tries to turn it into a figure four leglock when Kat Conway dives off the top rope with and elbow to Isabella Maldini! Kat Conway starts stomping on Isabella Maldini when Eternity comes flying in with a head scissor take down to Kat Conway knocking her out of the ring! Eternity points to the top rope and starts to climb wshen Isabella Maldini runs and dives over the top rope onto Kat Conway! Isabella Maldini rolls her into the ring as Eternity dives off with a splash!

…1!
…2!
Emma Danielson BREAKS IT UP!

Eternity goes over and tags in Isabella Maldini as Kat Conway as also managed to tag in Emma Danielson. Isabella Maldini charges full speed at Emma Danielson but Emma Danielson manages to counter with a hard powerslam. Emma Danielson picks Isabella Maldini up and throws sher over the top rope. Eternity comes running but Emma Danielson ducks and back body drops Eternity over the top rope. Kat Conway then comes into the ring. Emma Danielson grabs Kat Conway and lifts sher high over sher head and just as Isabella Maldini and Eternity get up, Emma Danielson launcshes Kat Conway at Isabella Maldini and Eternity.

Trent Helms: That looked painful.

Emma Danielson then looks around and as the other three slowly get up, Emma Danielson runs off the other side of the ring and comes back flying over the top rope nailing all 3 otshers with a big suicide dive.

Terri Morasca: Yea but that one was more painful.

Crowd: IWF! IWF! IWF!

All four women are laying there on the floor hardly moving. The ref starts the count.

1....2....3....4....Isabella Maldini is getting up....5....Kat Conway is getting up....Isabella Maldini and Emma Danielson  slide in the ring being the legal women. Eternity and Kat Conway start making their ways back to their respective corners....

Emma Danielson uses her power advantage over Isabella to whip her across the ring and as Isabella rebounds, Emma looks to nail Isabella with a Brooklyn Hangover, but the two corners that don't have either Eternity or Kat standing at them suddenly shoot flame from them, distracting Emma and allowing Isabella to regain her composure enough to excute a quick schoolgirl roll-up on the Hardcore Hellion, even grabbing a handful of her tights...1....2...3...

Alison Valance: Here are your winners...the team of Isabella Maldini and Eternity!!!!

Terri Morasco: Impressive showing from the rather oddball pairing of Eternity and Isabella, but there are some points on the board!

Trent Helms: Eternity is just frightening. To me! That is not a good thing!

Vasco Dias: Oh God she is coming this way...

{ Eternity exits the ring and begins to stalk ringside, staring rather meancingly at everyone in her uniquely creepy way as Isabella gets out of dodge whilst Kat and Emma argue with one another as we go to a short commericla break. }

MATCH
SINGLES MATCH
Spike Kane vs Cyrus Daniels

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

{As the drums and didgeridoo of 'Bali Doo' by David Hudson 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 noticeable 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.}

Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, making his way to the ring, accompanied by Stephen Kingsley...from Queensland, Australia, weighing 327 pounds....CYRUS DANIELS!

{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: For the first time in IWF history, we're going to see the monstrous half of Criminal Intent in singles action here tonight...

Terri Morasco: You say that, but I really have to wonder how fair this match is going to be, with Stephen Kingsley accompanying his partner...

Trent Helms: Well we've already seen Stephen Kingsley, and he really should go back to writing horror novels in my opinion. He was in action earlier tonight against the other half of Infamous, Rob Diamond so we'll see how Cyrus the Virus does here tonight...

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

Alison Valance: And his opponent, from Boston Mass, weighing 245 pounds...he is one half of the IWF Tag Team Champions and he is The God of Xtreme...SPIKE KANE!

Vasco Dias: It's not often that a legend the calibre of Spike Kane is at such a physical mismatch as he is here tonight...

Terri Morasco: That might be true, but in spite of all his physical advantages, Cyrus Daniels is at severe experience disadvantage...

Trent Helms: Not to mention that Spike has a well established singles career, most of Cyrus' in ring experience comes from being in tag matches...

{Cyrus and Spike are brought to the centre of the ring by the referee and as the God of Xtreme gets in the face of the ex-convict, the size differential between the two men is immediately obvious, so much so that Cyrus laughs as he looks down at Spike Kane. Spike takes a step back and tries for a clothesline to take the bigger man immediately off his feet, but Cyrus remains standing, barely stumbling back and winds up for a punch straight to Spike's jaw, Spike goes down but bounces back up, Cyrus punches him again, and Spike bounces back up again yelling at Cyrus to try again, Cyrus obliges with a third and as Spike finds his feet for a third time, he runs across the ring away from Cyrus and bounces off the ropes, leaping into the air and striking Cyrus in the face with a jumping clothesline that finally takes the bigger man down. Spike falls into the pin...1....Cyrus launches Spike off of him, almost tossing him halfway across the ring whilst getting out of the pin attempt.}

Terri Morasco: I hope Spike didn't honestly think he was going to beat Cyrus with that...

Vasco Dias: I think it was more of a psychological play about showing Cyrus that he could take him down...

Trent Helms: Thank you for flying with Con Air Spike...

{Cyrus sits up and looks over his shoulder at Spike getting back to his feet, Cyrus twists and rolls onto one knee, keeping his eyes fixed on the God of Xtreme, but the bigger man has taken slightly too long to get back to his feet as Spike runs towards a kneeling Cyrus and strikes him in the face with a beautiful shining wizard. Cyrus goes back down to the mat.}

Vasco Dias: Cyrus' inexperience in the ring is showing here in the early going of this match...

Terri Morasco: Cyrus may be much bigger than Spike but that's a double-edged sword in its own right as that makes him slower to recover than a smaller man...

{Rather than go for a pin this time, Spike walks into a corner and decides to wait for Cyrus to find his feet, almost stalking him. Cyrus sits up and this time is slightly quicker to his feet, Spike kicks Cyrus in the gut and hooks the Aussie up for a fisherman's suplex...Spike manages to lift and deliver the move and decides to hold for a second pin attempt...1...2...Cyrus kicks out this time.}

Vasco Dias: This may not be an altogether bad strategy from Spike here, trying to stay on the big man and finish the match as early as possible...

Terri Morasco: I think Spike knows that he cannot allow Cyrus to find his way back into this match, or he will be in trouble...

{Spike gets to his feet and so does Cyrus, the two men meet in the middle of the ring and Spike slaps Cyrus across the face, Cyrus brushes it off and tries to swat Spike down with a clothesline but Spike ducks it and runs across the ring, rebounding off the ropes and trying to strike Cyrus down with a crossbody, but Cyrus catches him, laughing as he turns around and lets out a yell before powerslamming Spike down into the canvas in the middle of the ring. Stephen Kingsley grins on the outside as he watches Cyrus peel Spike off the mat, and kick him in the gut, as Spike doubles over, Cyrus hooks him up for a pumphandle suplex and in a sheer display of raw power, throws Spike behind him across the ring and as Spike lands, he rolls under the bottom rope and out of the ring.}
 
Vasco Dias: Oh my! What power by Cyrus Daniels launching Spike across the ring!

Terri Morasco: That's scary, I'm not entirely sure if it was Cyrus' power or Spike's veteran instincts that caused him to leave the ring...

Trent Helms: Here comes Crocodile Dundee!

{Stephen Kingsley is indeed on his way around to the ring where Spike has fallen, stalking the wrestling legend like he was a crocodile. Spike Kane is using the ring apron to pull himself up as Stephen Kingsley arrives, and the two men start trading blows on the outside. Spike seems to get the better of it as the referee is doing his best to try and warn the two men and instruct Spike to get back in the ring, but the God of Xtreme doesn't seem to be listening as he pounds Stephen in the face with stiff shots, yelling something about Rob Diamond. Spike then grabs Stephen by the arm and looks to irish whip him, but Stephen blocks it with his superirior strength as the referee seems to be remarkably lenient in allowing this to go on. Stephen then whips Spike towards the steel steps, and Spike takes a tumble over them, clutching his right shin as he lands. Stephen walks over and starts stomping on Spike's leg sensing his advantage. Stephen then drags Spike to his feet and lifts him up into a in breaker, bringing Spike's right shin down on the steel steps.}

Trent Helms: Oh look at that, Stephen was trying to be nice and help Spike up those steps and back into the ring but Spike is clumsy and slipped.

Vasco Dias: Oh please! He slipped! What match are you watching?

Terri Morasco: You should be Stephen's lawyer Trent, you would have probably got him off...

{It seems the referee has had enough of the Crocodile Hunter's antics, and leans over the ropes yelling at Stephen to go to the back. Stephen is so outraged by this that he takes off his vest in frustration as he backs up the ramp, shaking his head and yelling.}

Terri Morasco: The referee finally making the right call and sending Kingsley to the back.

Vasco Dias: And now maybe we'll finally get the one on one match this was supposed to be all along...

Trent Helms: It may all be academic here though as the referee has started to count Spike out...
Spike is rolling about outside the ring, clutching his shin by the steel steps.

{1....2....3...4...5... Spike is aware of the count and is now on all fours outside the ring, slowly crawling towards the ring. ...6...7... Spike is clawing at the apron as he pulls himself up. Cyrus meanwhile is leaning back against the ropes, with a smirk on his face.}

Vasco Dias: I don't think it'll bother Cyrus one bit to take a victory by count out here...

Trent Helms: A victory over Spike Kane is a victory over Spike Kane...

Terri Morasco: It would be a huge accomplishment for Cyrus to pull it out here if he can...

{...8...9... Spike manages to roll under the bottom rope back into the ring at the last second to break the count.}

Vasco Dias: Spike did it, he's still in this match!

Terri Morasco: Spike is one tough son of a bitch, but I have to wonder how wise this is...

Trent Helms: I love it when you talk dirty Terri...

{Cyrus walks over to the corner and waits for Spike to find his feet. Spike uses the ropes to pull himself up and Cyrus charges across the ring, looking to nail Kane right in the mush with his own Bloody Sunday signature kick, but at the last second Spike dodges out of the way and the big Australian gets his leg caught up in the ropes. Spike takes a moment to regroup as he limps on his right leg, before grabbing Cyrus by his big bald head and dragging him to the centre of the ring. Spike kicks Cyrus in the gut and signals for the Spike Impailer...}

Terri Morasco: No way, Spike can't do this, can he?

Vasco Dias: No, I don't think he can, Terri...

{Spike tries to lift the mass of humanity, the first time he fails, getting Cyrus only part of the way up, before being forced to try again but the stubborn hotheaded Irishman won't be denied as he tries for a second time and this time, Spike manages to actually lift the three hundred plus pounder off his feet into a full vertical position, but he is unable to maintain the hold on account of his weakened right leg which gives way from under him and Cyrus just collapses on top of his opponent, effectively squashing him and the referee falls to his knees to count the pin. 1...2... The resilient veteran somehow, someway gets a shoulder up!}

Vasco Dias: This match is still going!

Terri Morasco: Spike Kane will not stay down!

Trent Helms: He is one hell of a tough and rather stubborn bastard!

{Cyrus rolls off Spike Kane. Spike slowly stumbles to his feet and looks across the ring and gets a crazy look in his eyes as he walks over to the nearest turnbuckle, Spike looks over his shoulder to see that Cyrus is still down, before he mounts the turnbuckle. Spike showboats fpr his fans. Cyrus has found his feet and briskly walks towards Spike in the corner, Spike leaps backwards into a moonsault and right into Cyrus' waiting arms. Daniels catches The God of Xtreme and delivers his signature Prison Break Piledriver...}

Terri Morasco: That's it, it's over!

Vasco Dias: This has to be all she wrote here!

Trent Helms: I've never failed to connect with MY version of that move!

{Cyrus holds Spike's arms out either side of him, in a unique pin...1...2...Spike has the presence of mind to get his foot on the ropes!}

Vasco Dias: FOOT ON THE ROPES! FOOT ON THE ROPES!

Terri Morasco: Once again Spike's veteran instincts save him!

Trent Helms: Great presence of mind is not something I often think of when I think of any member of the Kane family...quite the opposite in fact...

{The referee tells Cyrus about Spike's foot on the ropes and the Australian doesn't take it well as he gets up and gets in the referee's face, grabbing the official by the shirt. The argument has allowed Spike to find his feet, and the crowd are roaring, making Cyrus turn around and get nailed right in the face with the legend's Bloody Sunday Kick...Cyrus crumbles as Spike scrambles for the cover and the referee drops to his knees...1...2........Daniels kicks out and Spike is beside himself as he scrambles away, wide eyed and in disbelief.}

Vasco Dias: By God, Cyrus kicked out!

Terri Morasco: What the hell is it going to take to keep the giant down?

Trent Helms: Tranquilizers!

{Spike slowly gets to his feet, and he stalks Cyrus, begging him to get up. Cyrus slowly regains his feet, and Spike looks to nail the Criminal with his Thunderstruck, kicking him in the gut, but Cyrus shoves him away and Spike turns around only to be lifted and brought down back first across Cyrus' knee with the Gift Of Time. Out of arrogance Cyrus doesn't even attempt a cover this time and instead rips Spike off the mat Cyrus Daniels lifts and places Spike on his shoulders letting out an aggressive roar before nailing the wrestling icon with The Price Of Freedom, driving him face first into the mat and following up with a cover....1...2...3... Cyrus celebrates as his music plays. Stephen Kingsley races down the ramp and slides into the ring, and
Stephen pulls Spike off the mat, kicking him in the gut and nailing a worn down Spike with Spike's own Wings of Liberty! Stephen smirks as he looks over at Cyrus who walks over and orders Stephen to pick Spike up.}

Vasco Dias: This is ridiculous!

Terri Morasco: Criminal Intent know that Rob Diamond is not in the arena and are now looking to send a message directly to the Tag Team Champions and Bo Langson here...

{Stephen picks Spike up as the bell is ringing, and Cyrus kicks Spike in the gut lifting him into a powerbomb position, Stephen then jumps up grabbing Spike from behind and completing the double team move with his Jury's Out Backstabber! Satisfied that they've sent a loud and clear message to Infamous, Stephen motions around his waist for the belts and both he and Cyrus high five each other before finally leaving the ring as Alysson Gardner races down the ramp and slides in to check on her fallen husband.}

Terri Morasco: We....we'll be right back folks...

[Dark Lord Simon de Montfort]

SEGMENT
"The "Doc"tor has Arrived"

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

{We open up in Angel’s office, where Angel and Tara are standing beside each other, chatting away as the door swings open and Doc and Jennie walks in together. Jennie looks a little sheepish, having assaulted her sister in a “training bout” during the week, but Tara and Angel are all smiles.}

Tara: “Thanks for coming. I just wanted to get us all together to say, forget about what happened the other day. The last thing I want is for something to come between this family. This is the first time, ever, that all four of us have been able to get along, and nothing is going to ruin that.”

Jennie: “You’re right Tara, I’m sorry, I just-“

Tara: “Don’t apologize Jennie. I’ve trained you well”

{They both smile and embrace.}

Tara: “So Doc, Angel told me the good news. Back in action from next week?”

{Doc, who has been notably indifferent to this little family gathering, just shrugs his shoulders.}

Doc: “Yeah, looking forward it.”

Tara: “Great! I’m so happy that we all get to be together in the one company again.”

{This time Tara hugs Doc, and soon as they break their embrace, Angel stretches a hand onto Doc’s shoulder and smiles.}

Angel: “And listen bro, if you need anything, just let me know. This is a new place, fresh start, I want to make things right.”

Doc: “Yeah.. thanks Angel. Well, I guess I better be going..”

{Doc turns to leave as the other three family members look at each other, puzzled as to why he is so eager to get out of their company. But before reaching the door, Doc stops and turns back around.}

Doc: “You know.. Angel.. maybe there is something you could do for me?”

Angel: “..Yeah? Sure Doc, what’s up?”

Doc: “There’s someone I have a bit of history with, you know, from NCW. And I've been hearing him talk an awful lot recently. You know that way when you hear someone you hate chirp away in your ear all the time, and you just want to kick them in the jaw to shut them the hell up? Well, there’s nothing I'd enjoy more than facing off with him, one on one, in the middle of an IWF ring, to settle this once and for all.”

Angel: “Let me guess.. Alex Jones?”

{Doc smiles, and Angel smiles back. For an awkard moment, Doc starts laughing, and Angel joins in, apparently on the same page. Then all of a sudden, Doc stops laughing and draws Angel a piercing stare.}

Doc: “Guess again, bro.”

{Out of the blue, Doc lands a huge Genocide Kick to the jaw of his brother-in-law and sends him falling back over his own desk and onto his chair! We can hear the hear the amazement of the crowd coming through, followed some boos as Doc simply walks out the office, leaving Tara and Jennie looking at each other in shock.}

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

MATCH
HEIR TO THE THRONE
FOUR WAY MATCH
Lex Sense vs Bernard de Montfort vs Joe Everyman vs Ryan Shane

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

Vasco Dias: The Heir to the Throne has been one great challenge after another for every competitor in the tournament. It has been, by far, my favorite. The following Four-Way Elimination match has pretty interesting rules. Loser gains -5, first eliminated gains 5, second eliminated gains 10 and the winner gains 20 points.

Trent Helms: Last week some names dropped in the rankings while others soared higher than Super Sayan Trent and one man continues to dominate. This point system could change that tonight.

Terri Morasco: Yes it can. How long can one man's Beast Mode last in a tourney with so many gifted performers?

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

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

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

Terri Morasco: I am not going to lie. Lex Sense is one scary man but his in-ring skills are a tad bit scarier.

Trent Helms: Since debuting he has gained 50 points. Well ahead from the rest of the pack.

Vasco Dias: It's hard to chop down a giant redwood like that. His speed and slamming power outmatches any one man but this match has three men that might see it fit to cut this monster's undefeated streak short.

{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 holds up his arm. Then loud blue
pyros shoot from the ring posts. Joe then sends some smack talk towards Sense who simply smirks in response.}

Trent Helms: Joe Everyman continues to hold unto second place like a Bangkok hooker looking to satisfy with that happy ending.

Terri Morasco: Gross. What's not gross is the way Joe has stepped up his game as of late. He may not have the W's in the Win Column but he sure does have heart and a fan base that seems to believe in Everyman.

Vasco Dias: I don't believe in him.

{"March of the British Grenadiers" by British Military begins playing to the dismay of an entire nation. Bernard de Montfort steps out on stage, saluting the English Flag set before him before proceeding to march down the ramp for Queen and Country. The crowd has begun a USA chant that Bernard scoffs at, mocking the fans in front row before sliding into the ring. Bernard acknowledges both Sense and Joe with a disapproving glare before standing off in his own corner.}

Vasco Dias: The boss' son was absent last week. I was beginning to worry about his well being.

Terri Morasco: I'm sure Bernard de Montfort felt the same about yours, Vasco.

Vasco Dias: Really?

Terri Morasco: No.

Trent Helms: Bernard has a vicious side to him but I don't think he's recovered since being Chokeslammed on the stage by the mysterious figure known as The Watchman.

{"Victim" by Eighteen Visions begins to play throughout the arena. The entrance ramp is dimly lit as the figure of Ryan Shane makes his way out from behind the curtain. Pyro goes off as Shane makes his way to the ring as the fans erupt in a chorus of cheers. As he gets to the ring he hops onto the apron and enters. Once in the ring and then stands he raises his hands high to the cheering sounds of the crowd.}

Vasco Dias: Ryan Shane had an impressive outing last week that shut many doubters up. He just needs to continue with that momentum.

Terri Morasco: It's going to be hard with a veteran like Joe, the cerebral Bernard and a behemoth like Lex being his opponents but many believe this kid has what it takes.

Trent Helms: It doesn't matter what people believe. He better believe it himself if he hopes to survive against those opponents. Hope he has his spinach handy.

{The ref calls all four men to the middle of the ring, explaining the rules when Sense rudely shoves him out of the way and then big boots the hell out of Ryan, who drops hard. Joe tries to attack from the side but with two hands Sense shoves him back into the ropes with such force that Joe slingshots back into a rushing double axe handle that sends him spinning to the mat. Bernard then begins nailing kick after kick to the midsection, pushing Sense back some until Lex wraps two meaty paws around the throat of de Montfort, lifting him off his feet with a Standing Choke before Choke Tossing Bernard against the turnbuckles. Sense viciously drills back elbow after back elbow to the side of his fellow Englishman's head before ending the vicious assault with a European uppercut that knocks the sense out of Bernard and sends him slumping down the mat. Lex turns to find both Ryan and Joe beginning to stand so he rushes at them and easily barrels through them with a Double clothesline that takes both men out. Sense holds on to the top rope and shakes it as he screams to a booing crowd.}

Vasco Dias: That power is terrifying. Sense just ran through three men in a matter of moments.

Terri Morasco: Everything about the man is terrifying. I wouldn't want to be left in a room alone with him.

Trent Helms: You better not be in a room alone with him. That's how women get pregnant.

{Sense stares at Ryan and Joe, who are prone at either side of him so he begins hitting alternating standing elbow drops on both men. First Joe, then Ryan, Joe, Ryan, Joe, Ryan and then Bernard comes up from behind and locks in a Rear Naked Choke. Sense swings his massive arms back but the submissions expert avoids the blows. Joe sees what is going on so he hurries to his feet and begins placing boot after boot to Sense's gut while he is trapped in the Choke. Ryan also notices the team up and decides to get in on the action as he hops to his feet and begins nailing fist after fist to the face of Sense. Eventually the big man drops to a knee, where Bernard is able to lock in the maneuver tighter than it already was. Ryan and Joe don't let up with the physical strikes until Sense drops like a sack of bricks. Bernard turns him over and pins him and Joe and Ryan pile up on top of him to hold the big man down and 1... 2... SENSE IS STILL ABLE TO KICKOUT!}

Terri Morasco: This impromptu team could work in their favor. If all three men eliminate Sense first then it leaves the rest of the match open for them.

Vasco Dias: Wouldn't be a bad idea. Sense gets -5 points while the rest get 5, 10 or 20 depending on the order in which they are eliminated.

Trent Helms: They better hurry up before Sense gets angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

{The impromptu trio begin laying stomp after stomp on Sense and through it all Lex continues to try to stand up. Bernard starts directing traffic, ordering Ryan and Joe around until Joe gets fed up with the supervising and turns his attention to Bernard, getting all up on his grill. Bernard shoves Joe right into Ryan and Ryan shoves Joe back and that's when all hell breaks lose and fists and kicks are traded. Sense rolls out of the ring with a smirk on his face as he watches the band break up. Joe punches Bernard, Bernard chops Ryan, Ryan kicks Joe and so on and so forth until both Ryan and Joe focus their attack on Bernard. de Montfort is pushed back against the ropes where Ryan and Joe both grab an arm, whipping Bernard into the ropes and catching him on the rebound with a Double Flapjack. Bernard is down for the moment and as Joe rises, Ryan lifts him unto a Fireman's Carry and takes him for a ride on the "Air Shane" (Airplane Spin)!}

Terri Morasco: Looks like nobody could trust anybody in this match.

Trent Helms: Hells to the no. This is for points and some of these men need those points.

{After many revolutions, Ryan puts a dizzied Joe back down on his feet and quickly follows up with left jab after left jab before ending the "Southpaw Shuffle" with a discus punch that Joe is able duck under. Bernard, unfortunately is not so lucky as he stood just to be knocked back down with the discus punch. Ryan turns to face Joe, who ducked around behind him, only to find Everyman executing a picture perfect "EKO" (RKO)! Shane is down and Bernard is laid out right next to him. Instead of going for the pin, Joe ascends the turnbuckles, staring out into a sea of cheering fans. Joe prepares to launch with the "Swanton Bomb" but as his feet are leaving the turnbuckles, Sense hops up on the apron from the outside and gives Joe an unwanted boost. Everyman's swanton overshoots both gentlemen and crash lands hard next to Ryan. Joe writhes around on the mat before pushing himself to a knee, which proves to be a fatal mistake as Ryan nips up, bounces off the ropes and knees Joe in the side of the head with a dead on "Shaning Wizard" (Shining Wizard Kneestrike)! Ryan hooks Joe's legs and 1... 2.. 3!}

Trent Helms: Poor Joe Everyman is the first eliminated. 5 points will be taken from his 35.

Vasco Dias: Give the assist to Sense. The man waited in the wings for the perfect time to strike and Joe never saw it coming.

Terri Morasco: So much for history. Ryan continues to prove that you never count him out on anything.

{An energetic Shane rises with a fist pump and finds Sense waiting on the apron with a left hook that clocks Ryan upside the head. Ryan stumbles back into Bernard who captures Shane with a Chicken Wing. Bernard yanks Ryan from side to side before lifting him up and over with a Chicken Wing Suplex! Ryan lands awkwardly hard on the side of his head and he looks to be out of it when Bernard locks in a Guillotine Choke, grapevining his legs around Ryan. The ref comes over and asks but Ryan attempts to fight through it. A glazed look in the eyes of Ryan shows that he's had enough and he taps! Bernard keeps the hold applied longer than necessary and during this Sense steps into the ring with a smirk.}

Terri Morasco: Ryan displayed a lot of heart there but that move was locked in too tight. At least he doesn't walk away with nothing as he adds 5 points to his tally.

Vasco Dias: Submission endings should be the only endings as far as I'm concerned.

Trent Helms: That's the second time Sense has had his hand on getting someone eliminated and now Bernard is left with the mighty task of taking down a 7 foot monster.

{Bernard hurries to his feet and looks around the ring, finding Sense towering before him. de Montfort does not back down and launches kick after kick to Sense's knee but a clubbing blow to the back of the head stops Bernard dead in his tracks. Sense goes for a clothesline but Bernard catches the arm and tries to take him down to the mat with a Cross Armbreaker but Sense's tree trunk like legs remain soundly grounded on the mat. Bernard clubs at the back of the elbow which does get a response only it's not the one Bernard wanted as Sense pulls him into a headbutt. Bernard backpedals against the corner and Sense rushes in with a huge body splash but Bernard rolls out of the way. Sense's chest collides with the turnbuckles and backpedals right into a Rear Naked Choke!}

Terri Morasco: this worked earlier to take Sense off of his feet.

Trent Helms: Yeah but that was one two other men were also punching and kicking him.

Vasco Dias: Submissions are the way to go when looking to wear an opponent out.

Trent Helms: Is that something your mom taught you?

{Sense reaches back but can't get a proper hold of Bernard who continues to apply pressure. Sense does fall to a knee and Bernard tries to wrap his legs around him but Sense powerfully stands back up, holding Bernard up in a piggyback position before simply falling back on top of him. Sense's massive weight crushes Bernard beneath him. Sense sits up as Bernard coughs up a lung. Lex smiles as he grabs Bernard by the arm and pulls him back to a standing position and then short arms him into "The Prediction"! Sense hooks both legs and 1... 2... 3!}

Trent Helms: Sense gains another 20 to his 50 and I don't think anybody is catching up to him anytime soon.

Terri Morasco: I have a feeling that we're staring at our future Imperial Champion but anything could happen from now until then.

Vasco Dias: Bernard gains 10 but picks up the loss. Will anybody be able to stop Sense from accumulating points through victories?

{"Destroy the World Around Me" plays as Sense sits on the mat, staring out into nothing and chuckling like a madman. The ref slowly approaches and raises his arm but Sense is not happy with that as he grabs the ref by the collar and launches him across the ring for no reason. Sense raises his own arms to a mostly disapproving crowd before staring blankly into the camera.}

Terri Morasco: There's no need for him to act like that. He already won.

Trent Helms: He doesn't want to be touched. When will the ref's learn?

MATCH
HEIR TO THE THRONE
FOUR WAY MATCH
Mike Laszlo vs Deathtrain vs Mike Machado vs Cable Arcane

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

Vasco Dias: I'll say it right now, if you're not excited for this match then you have no soul. We've got our second Heir to the Throne elimination match of the evening, this one pitting the other four participants in the tournament against each other. Cable Arcane, Deathtrain, Mike Machado and Mike Laszlo.

Trent Helms: As exciting as this is it will not compare to the Trent Helms Memorial Division.

Vasco Dias: I'm going to ask you very nicely to shut the hell up for this match, Trent. Please?

Terri Morasco: Wow... Well he did ask nicely.

Vasco Dias: First man out is the odds on favorite to win this match in my opinion... MIKE LASZLO!

{ "Cult of Personality" by Living Color hits the sound system as Mike Laszlo walks out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a favored reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who cheer, 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 close behind. }

Vasco Dias: I love this guy and personally he'd make a great first Imperial Champion.

Trent Helms: I don't know what you see in him, personally if I was going to pick someone to come from behind and win it'd be Mike Machado.

Vasco Dias: You would pick him.

Trent Helms" You're right, I did.

{ 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 makes it to the ring. He slides through the bottom ropes and begins to do his pre-match stretches, including cherry pickers and windmills.}

Terri Morasco: It's no easy thing to pick a winner in a match like this, you need a certain X factor about you, a survival instinct and that's why, if you asked me, I'd pick this man to win tonight.

... 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. }

Trent Helms: What? Him? I don't know. Cable is ok but he's no Machado.

Vasco Dias: Or Laszlo.

Terri Morasco: He may not be but he was trained by Angel.

Trent Helms: Meh, I've beaten him.

Vasco Dias: It's all well and good to have our favorite in this match but we can't count out the fourth man in the match. Deathtrain!

{A huge explosion of pyro erupts as "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold blasts from the pa.  Deathtrain makes his way out from behind the curtain.  He stops at the top of the ramp and stares around at the crowd.  He sneers as begins to make his way down the ramp.  Deathtrain climbs the steel steps and stops again to look around.  He climbs over the top rope to enter the ring and climbs up on the turnbuckle.}

Trent Helms: Screw the hype let's get this party started!!!!

{ The bell sounds and Deathtrain barrels right out of his corner and goes right for Machado! Mike ducks out of the way and right into a nasty clothes line from Laszlo. Laszlo turns his attention to Deathtrain who goes to lock up with him. Cable comes from the side with a flying forearm over the back of DT! Laszlo pulls DT into a side head lock and then runs across the ring with a bulldog! Cable hits the ropes with a moonsult on the big man. Cable is to his feet and turns right into a drop kick from Laszlo! Mike pulls Cable up to his feet and sends him into the corner! Laszlo runs in with splash in the corner and then sends Cable onto his back with a snap mare. However Laszlo doesn't see that DT is up and he plows into Laszlo with a shoulder block that sends Mike spilling to the outside. Machado comes up from behind and locks DT into a sleeper hold but DT reaches behind him, grabs Mike by the hair and rips him over his shoulder and slams Mike onto his back. DT begins to viciously stomp Mike on the mat. Cable is up and connects with a kick to the kidney of DT and then another to the chest before turning and hitting a spinning heel kick to the side of DT's head. Cable pushes DT into the corner and begins to unload with several vicious strikes, switching between punches and kicks. }

Vasco Dias: Each man having his moment int he sun here in the opening minutes of this match. But that won't last long.

{ DT starts to fade and uses a burst of energy to slam into Cable with a clothes line that knocks him down. DT reaches for Cable and rips him to his feet then up into the air for a two handed choke toss! With DT's back turned, Laszlo comes flying into the ring with a shoulder block to the back of the big man's knees! Laszlo stands up, pulls DT back and drops him with a reverse DDT! Machado comes from out of nowhere with a spring board cross body and completely misses the mark! Machado gets up, confused when Laszlo just nails him with a hard right hand that sends Machado rolling to the outside. Cable starts to get to his feet and Mike runs into him with a knee lift and follows it right up with a snap suplex. Laszlo is looking pretty confident now as he circles back around to DT. He pulls DT up but Train hits a hard right hand and a kick to the mid section and ripls Mike off his feet with a pump handle slam! Cable starts to get up and turns right into an over head belly to belly suplex from DT! DT turns around and sees Machado trying to get back into the ring. He runs for Mike who rolls under the attempted clothes line! DT turs right into the HANDLE BAR MUSTACHE DOUBLE ARM DDT!!!!!! }

Trent Helms: That training is really starting to pay off.

Terri Morasco: Seriously?

{ Machado is to his feet and Laszlo comes for him but Mike hits an ARM DRAGON! Here comes Cable and it's an ARM DRAGON FOR HIM! DT is still down and Mike heads to the corner. He climbs up and jumps off looking for the MUSTACHE RIDE ON DEATHTRAIN! HE connects and covers. ONE! TW- KICK OUT! DT throws Machado off of him and gets to his feet, limping ever so slightly from Laszlo. He turns angirly toward Machado and charges him with a spear right into the corner of the ring!!!! DT gets to his feet just as both Cable and Laszlo charge into him with a double team clothes line. They both pull DT to his feet, hook him up and hit a double team suplex! However the team up is short lived as Laszlo hits Cable with the Welcome to the CLE! Mike quickly pins Cable. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Laszlo gets to his feet and turns into the MIGHT OF MEDIOCRITY!!!! ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Both Mike's get to their feet and Laszlo swings, Machado ducks and connects from out of nowhere with the SOUL PATCH SUPER KICK!!!! }

Trent Helms: SOUL PATCH!!!

Vasco Dias: It's getting old Trent.

Trent Helms: Not even close.

{ Laszlo stumbles into the corner and Machado, feeling full of himself, turns his attention to the now standing Deathtrain. Machado struts up to DT and just puches him right in the face. Then does it again. Then one more time. Then he looks  for thew Arm Dragon but DT doesn't even move. Mike tries again to no avail. Mike turns, looks for the kick and then the Handlebar Mustache DDT, but nothing. He backs off and goes for the Soul Patch super kick but DT grabs his foot and just levels him with a pretty nasty looking clothes line. DT pulls Mike up and hits WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE! Deathtrain looks for the cover when Mike Laszlo comnes up from behind and just tosses DT out of the ring. He covers Machado! ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }

First Elimination: Mike Machado.

Vasco Dias: Smart move there by Laszlo.

Trent Helms: That serves no purpose in this elimination match.

Terri Morasco: Serves as a bit of a confidene booster.

{ Laszlo gets to his feet when Cable connects with the Blackened Sun round house kick and follows it with the No Fate running bull dog! DT gets back in the ring and Cable flies into him with a spring board cross body. Both men get to their feet and Cable gets under a right hand by Deathtrain and hits the Dead but Rising backstabber! Laszlo is up and Cable hits a shin kick to the gut and a European upper cut that sends Mike stumbling back into the corner. Cable runs in with a drop kick in the corner. DT is up and he grabs Cable from behind and hits a big time full nelso slam! Laszlo tries to explode out of the corner but DT hits a giant big boot that sends Laszlo up and over the ropes and to the outside. DT pulls Cable off the mat, throws him into the corner and grabs him around the neck. He lifts him up and seats him on the top rope then climbs up onto the second rope. He grips Cable by the neck and throws him off for the Dark Cloud choke slam off the top rope! }

Vasco Dias: Deathtrain is just a mountain of muscle and brutality. I'd love to see him take on Lex Sense in the finals.

Terri Morasco: Imagine if they formed a team?

Vasco Dias: Pure Nightmare, right there.

{ Deathtrain stalks Cable as he staggers to get to his feet. Laszlo climbs back into the ring but watchs from the apron as Deathtrain waits for Cable to stand. Cable turns and DT clubs him hard over the back. He grabs Cable for a hard hitting and spine crippling German suplex! As DT gets up Laszlo comes from behind and hits the DOWN PAYMENT! Laszlo pulls DT up to his feet and looks for some Malicious Intent but DT uses his seeming limitless strength to push Laszlo off of him. DT stumbles to a knee and that's when Cable connects with a Blackened Sun round house to the side of DT's head! Cable quickly runs to the corner and leaps to the top. He looks down and leaps off with the DIVINITY OF PURPOSE 450 SPLASH!!! Before Cable can even think of pinning, Laszlo rips him off the mat and hits MALICIOUS INTENT! Laszlo covers Deathtrain. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }

Second Elimination: Deathtrain.

Vasco Dias: Mike Laszlo with another elimination and another step closer to the Imperial Championship.

Trent Helms: So no one is going to point out that he stole both pins?

Vasco Dias: He did what?

Trent Helms: Of course not...

Terri Morasco: We're down to our final two and all Laszlo has to do is pin Cable now.

{ Mike quickly pushes off DT and throws himself over Cable. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Too much time has passed between moves and Cable has managed to kick out. Laszlo pulls Cable to his feet and sends him into the ropes, he catches him with a back body drop on the rebound. Mike reaches down and pulls Cable to his feet and starts mouthing off to him before sending him into the corner. Mike runs in with a knee to the corner then several back elbows before he just punts Cable in the gut. Cable slumps down in the corner and Mike walks across the ring. He runs in after Cable and bashes him in the facre with a running knee. Mike reaches down and helps Cable to his feet before hitting NO MERCY! }

Trent Helms: Kinda poetic considering Cable says that to end all his promos.

{ Mike drags Cable to the ropes and lifts him up, placing his legs on the top rope and then drives him into the mat wit the EXECUTIONER!!! Mike nods his head, pretty confident that he's got this one in the bag now. He struts around Cable who has been motionless since kicking out earlir. Mike slowly pulls Cable to his feet and smacks him a couple of times, mouting off some more before out right calling his next move out loud for the entire arena to hear "WELCOME TO THE CLE!!!!" And driving Cable into the mat again. Mike covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: Laszlo needs to stop messing around here and put Cable away.

Terri Morasco: He's trying to.

Trent Helms: Look, you guys don't know Angel like I do, if he trained this kid then he's gotta be one tough SOB.

Vasco Dias: Doesn't matter, Mike Laszlo has pinned both the other men in this match and he is going to put Cable Arcane down. This flippity floppity tag team wrestler has no place in the Heir to the Throne tournament.

{ Laszlo smirks as he pulls Cable to his feet and looks to finally end this match. He sets him up for another Malicious Intent but Cable snaps out of it and connects with the Blackened Sun roundhouse! Mike stumbles and Cable grabs him from behind for the Dead but Rising backstabber. Laszlo is quick to his feet but Cable's feet are quicker and he hits a step up enzugiri and then sends Mike running into the corner. Cable runs in after him with a shining wizard and then hits the No Fate running bull dog! }

Vasco Dias: No, no, no! Come on Laszlo!

{ Cable staggers to the corner, climbs up to the top and leaps off with the DIVINITY OF PURPOSE 450 SPLASH! He covers. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }

Third Elimination: Mike Laszlo.

Trent Helms: HOLY CRAP! Cable Arcane came from behind and won this thing!

Vasco Dias: I don't believe it. Laszlo had this thing won any number of times.

Trent Helms: Yet Cable is the man with his arm raised.

Vasco Dias: It doesn't matter, it's only one match, Mike has plenty of time.

Terri Morasco: That he does but Cable just scored himself some much needed points in this tournament and a huge win.

{ Cable's music plays as he kneels in the center of the ring, in total disbelief. }

MATCH
GAUNTLET MATCH
Xander Famularo vs. Thunder Sid, Gibberg & Solomon Khan

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

{Mother by Danzig begins to play, Xander walks to the ring and awaits his opponent.}

Alison Valance: The following is a three-on-one gauntlet match! Introducing first, from Oswego, New York, weighing 285 pounds, Xander Famularo!

Terri Morasco: Xander has been very clear in his intentions. He wants the IWF Heavyweight Championship, and he will stop at nothing to take it from Xavier Cross. If I’m Cross, I’m worried.

Vasco Dias: You aren’t, Terri. Xavier Cross is the IWF Heavyweight Champion for a reason. Still, nobody can deny that Xander is an absolute engine of destruction. I would hate to be any of his opponents tonight.

{John Williams’ “Superman March” begins playing over the PA, and the lights on the stage begin to flash green. Smoke billows around the entranceway, and Thunder Sid comes flying out of the back with a huge grin on his face! He gives a thumbs up to the audience, nodding as they cheer him on out of pity.}

Alison Valance: And his opponent…from the Skyscraper, weighing 185 pounds, this is THUNDEEEEER SIIIIID!

Vasco Dias: What is this…I don’t…dios mio, Santa Maria y Jesús, yo necesito su ayuda…

Trent Helms: Stop babbling, Vasco! Thunder Sid is a perfectly legitimate competitor, and if you’re not careful, he’ll strike…like LIGHTNING!

Terri Morasco: Proud of yourself for that one, aren’t you?

Trent Helms: Oh, of course.

{Sid grins, bouncing on the soles of his feet and charging down to the ring. He leaps through the gap between the middle and bottom ropes, rolling to his knee and posing to the crowd. He backs up into the corner, eyeing up Xander warily. Xander, for his part, just stares a hole through him.}

Terri Morasco: Here comes the pain…the match is about to begin.

Vasco Dias: Say your prayers, kid.

{The bell rings, and Sid charges Xander, delivering a dropkick to the chest! Xander is unmoved, and Sid beckflips through to land on his feet. He begins delivering leg kicks, letting out a loud “HOOAH!” with each strike. After the fourth, Xander irritatedly grabs him by the head and piefaces him, sending him sprawling back onto the mat. The would-be superhero is undeterred, however, and he charges again. Xander sends him into the corner, his head of steam working against him. Sid lands chest-first in the corner, and he immediately finds himself sandwiched by Famularo with a big corner splash!}

Terri Morasco: OHH! That had to hurt something fierce! Thunder Sid just got turned into a pancake!

Trent Helms: Eh, most superheroes are flat characters anyway. …get it? Flat? Oh, my humor is lost on you primates.

{Xander peels Sid off the turnbuckle, turning him around and unloading a vicious volley of lefts and rights into his midsection. The referee steps in and forces him away, but Xander just muscles through and grabs his arm, Irish whipping him into the other corner. He rushes across after him and nails a massive corner clothesline. Not done, Xander grips his arm again and tosses Sid back across the ring. Famularo tenses and explodes out of the blocks when Sid impacts the buckle, looking for a huge Stinger Splash…but Sid rolls out of the way, and Xander’s head bounces off of the top turnbuckle! Sid senses an opportunity and steps to the apron, climbing the turnbuckle.}

Terri Morasco: Xander’s aggression may have opened a window for Thunder Sid to mount a comeback here!

Trent Helms: I happen to know his finishing move, which he stole after I invented it in 1652, is a diving somersault neckbreaker he calls the Thunderclap. If he hits it…well, I’d be stunned. Kinda want to see him pull it off.

Vasco Dias: Disaster incoming…

{Sid tenses as Xander turns around, leaping off at him…RIGHT INTO A WIDOWMAKER FOR THE AGES! Sid is knocked insensate as he hits the mat, and Xander covers him by kicking him onto his back and stepping on his chest! 1! 2! 3!}

Alison Valance: Thunder Sid has been eliminated! Introducing next…

{“I Wanna Rock” by Twisted Sister hits over the PA, and the crowd goes wild as Gib’s entrance video appears on the Tron. However, their cheers quickly fade as they’re greeted not by their hero, but instead the miniaturized frame of Gibberg. Gibberg poses on the stage for the crowd, shouting "ROCK! ROCK! ROCK!" as they tepidly applaud him.}

Alison Valance: From Oswego, New York, weighing 217 pounds, GIBBERG!

Terri Morasco: For the love of God...

Vasco Dias: He looks almost as ridiculous as you, Helms.

Trent Helms: Coming from a man with a face like an international fugitive.

{Xander merely cracks his neck, tensing up. Gibberg climbs up the ring steps, ducking between the ropes, and puts his fists up challengingly, beckoning towards the actual Famularo. Xander just smirks, spreading his arms wide and calling for the Widowmaker from his opponent. His eyes go wide, and he shakes his head, shouting that Xander doesn't want that. Xander just nods and closes his eyes, smirking.}

Terri Morasco: Xander Famularo's just asking Gibberg for the Widowmaker! He must be very confident.

Trent Helms: He could be risking his life here! Don't do it, you fool! Save yourself!

{Gibberg rears back and hits his modified version of the Widowmaker right to Xander's jaw. Again, he doesn't even flinch. Gibberg shakes his head, rearing back for another punch, but Xander catches his fist, smirking and twisting his arm. Gibberg flails in Famularo's grasp, and he quickly receives a boot to the gut. Xander pulls him in, stuffing his head between his legs before hauling him onto his shoulders and charging across the ring to deliver the MUSHROOM CLOUD! Gibberg collapses to the mat, and Xander hooks the leg! 1! 2! 3!}

Alison Valance: Gibberg has been eliminated!

Terri Morasco: Now that just looked brutal. Gibberg practically had his spine snapped in two by that powerbomb!

Vasco Dias: The man’s a monster. I don’t know if Solomon Khan wants to come out here or not.

Alison Valance: Introducing next…

{“Fanfare for the Common Man” plays over the PA, and all seven feet of Solomon Khan walk onto the stage, bowing before the crowd. He waves to them with a smile on his face before beginning to make his way down to the ring.}

Alison Valance: From Ludhiana, India, standing seven feet tall and weighing 420 pounds, he is the Intellectual Skyscraper, Solomon Khan!

Terri Morasco: Whoa! Talk about a titan! Xander’s chances just got a bit slimmer!

Trent Helms: He’s huge, I’ll give him that, but he’s not on Xander Famularo’s level. It’ll be interesting to see how Xander takes to fighting from underneath, though.

{Khan lumbers to the ropes, climbing onto the apron, and steps over the top rope. The bell rings to start the third fall, and Xander immediately rushes Khan, hammering him with a series of body blows. Khan staggers under the withering assault, but manages to compose himself long enough to reel off a vicious headbutt to Famularo, dropping him to the mat for the first time in the contest! The crowd goes wild at the sudden reversal of fortune, but Xander’s right back up on his feet, glaring daggers at the big man. Khan merely laughs and gestures for him to bring it.}

Terri Morasco: The big man might be on to something here!

Vasco Dias: If Khan can keep Xander at bay with his reach advantage, he has a chance to win here. It’s all about not letting him get in too deeply.

{Indeed, Khan seems to be employing such a strategy, lashing out with punches at Famularo whenever he tries to move in close. However, Xander is able to dodge one such blow and move in, grabbing Khan in a bearhug and spinning him around to deliver a brutal belly-to-belly suplex. Khan groans as he’s driven into the canvas, but Xander’s not done. He rolls him onto his stomach and applies a grounded gutwrench to Khan, letting out a mighty roar as he deadlifts him off the canvas and takes him over with a gutwrench suplex! Khan impacts hard, trying to push himself to his feet as Xander beckons to him, sweat rolling down his brow and an unhinged grin on his face.}

Trent Helms: That was some damn impressive strength from Xander Famularo, but the look in his eyes tells me he isn’t done yet.

Terri Morasco: There are so many different routes he could go, but all of them end with pain.

{Xander walks over to the mostly-prone Khan, forcibly looping his arm over his neck, and pushes off, ripping him off the mat and delivering a modified version of the METAL HEALTH! Khan hits the mat hard, and Xander rolls him over into a cover!

1!

2!

3! The bell rings, and Xander leaps to his feet, roaring to the crowd.}

Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Xander Famularo!

Terri Morasco: What a dominant display of power from Xander, taking out three different competitors! That’s definitely a display that marks you as a force to be reckoned with!

Vasco Dias: Raw power, that’s all that was. Power and determination. But sometimes that’s all it takes. And…wait, is he calling for a microphone?

{ Xander grabs a microphone and begins to stalk around the ring, staring into the crowd who boo at him profusely. }

Xander Famularo: Is this all you've got? Is this the best you can do?

{ The crowd boo as Xander smiles cockily. }

Xander Famularo: I expected big things, I really did, new challenges, finally men worthy of stepping up to my calibre and yet... even three of them couldn't stop me. I told you all I was here to dominate and I have proved it. The fact is there is not a single man here with the skill, the determination...

The balls...

{ Xander pauses as he laughs to himself. }

Xander Famularo: But maybe I am wrong, perhaps I haven't given you enough credit? Maybe there is somebody back there who has the guts to try and stop me making a mockery of this roster.

{ Xander waits for a moment. }

Xander Famularo: Well? What's the matter with you? How can you call yourselves men?

{ Xander just laughs again. }

Xander Famularo: Looks like I was right...

{ Suddenly the crowd go absolutely nuts as Xander looks up to see Xavier Cross, a look of steely determination on his face racing down the ramp making his way straight for Xander. Famularo begs him to get in the ring but he soon regrets this when he is tackled to the ground as the crowd go nuts whilst Cross lays fist after fist into Xander who protects himself from the frenzied attack. }

Trent Helms: Dear God!

Terri Morasco: Xavier has snapped!

{ Xavier continues to swing at Xander but the moment he misses a punches Famularo uses his momentum to toss him off him and immediately slides out of the ring. The crowd boo as Xavier tries to grab him through the ropes but fails as Xander walks backwards, holding his lip which is bust wide open... yet Xander is just smiling from ear to ear, clearly pleased with the reaction he has sparked from Xavier. The pair stare at each other as Xander mouths a few less than polite insults to Cross who is still livid. }

Trent Helms: Xander may have gotten exactly what he wanted...

Terri Morasco: But he has lit a fire under Xavier, this could backfire!

Vasco Dias: Perhaps, but this is Xander, he knows what he is doing.

{ The camera continues to switch between both men as the copyright logo begins to appear. }

Terri Morasco: You can bet your ass this is far from over, another week, another set of questions to be answered, I can't wait for next week it promises to be fantastic! We'll see you then folks!
