"Happy Birthday Part 1"
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The camera pans around the arena, taking in the cheering crowd as pyros explode on stage. }Terri Morasco: Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to Training Grounds, we have an action packed show tonight.
Vasco Dias: You're right, Terri, but even better than that, we are here tonight to celebrate Commissioner Conway's birthday!
{ The lights in the arena start to twinkle like diamonds, green, purple and red with the melodic holler and drum beat of ''Black and Silver" by Xandria. }Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, being accompanied to the ring by the NEW Man Of Steel Champion, the Corporate Asset, THE ACE...please welcome the Commissioner of the Imperial Wrestling Federation....KATHLEEN CONWAY!
{ The chords of an organ punctuate the words as Kathleen Conway appears on the stage with one hand on her right hip. Next to her, with the Man Of Steel Championship on his shoulder, in a smart shirt and trouser combo is her husband, The Ace. She is wearing a white blouse and a navy blue suit jacket, with a matching skirt and white high heel shoes. She takes her husband's hand and begins her walk down the ramp with a smile on her face. The couple get to the ring and climbs the steel steps into the ring, with The Ace following. Kathy motions for a microphone and is given one by a stagehand. 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. The Ace stands behind his wife and puts his arms around her waist and kisses her on the cheek. }Terri Morasco: Speak of the devil...
Vasco Dias: The devil? Oh please Terri, show some respect...
Terri Morasco: I have a hard time respecting a couple who walk around flaunting their relationship and undeserved power...
Vasco Dias: Oh God, I know what you mean Terri, I can't stand that either, but I'm not sure why you're bringing up Alex Jones and Ana Valentine right now...
Terri Morasco: That's not who I meant Vasco, and you know it...
{ Kathy raises the microphone to her lips, doing her best to ignore the boos that rain down upon the couple. }Kathy Conway: Tonight is a very special night for me. It's my birthday, and that means I'm a year older, sure, but it also means I'm a year wiser and this is another year I can look back at my life and really be thankful for all that I have accomplished and more importantly for all the opportunities I've been given to be a success in this business. Success I couldn't have achieved without the the support of my wonderful family - my two daughters, Solitaire and Domino, and of course my rockand YOUR NEW MAN OF STEEL CHAMPION, THE ACE!
{ The crowd boo, but The Ace smirks as he steps out from behind his wife and raises the title above his head in one hand, eliciting more boos. }Vasco Dias: Can you believe these people, Terri? How disrespectful!
Terri Morasco: The Ace doesn't deserve any respect, he is just a corporate hitman in Roberto Verona's back pocket, like we saw three days ago at Sacrifice.
Vasco Dias: Do you really hate your job that much Terri? If Roberto heard you, he might fire you...
{ Kathy passes the microphone to her husband, he accepts it and adjusts the title on his shoulder before raising it to his lips. }The Ace: You know as I stand here in MY ring and look out at each and every one of you here tonight, I can't help but think you could learn a thing or two from my wife. All of you, every single last one of you in the arena tonight and each and every single one of you watching at home should be thankful. You should be thankful that this past Sunday at High Stakes, I salvaged this Championship you see on my shoulder from both obscurity and becoming a joke. You should all be thankful that you are witnessing the dawn of a new age for MY DIVISION, a new age of pure wrestling. I am here tonight at Training Grounds, not only to celebrate my wife's special day but also to inspire the future of this company. I am here to see the future for myself, my wife and I, we are invested in the future of this company and we want to celebrate it. It is OUR hope that one day my wife and I aren't relied upon to save the Championships or the televised shows of this company. For each and every one of you in the back who hate us for being here to throw a party for my wife tonight, you need to realise that we're here ONLY because all of you on the developmental roster have failed to step up and sustain interest or ratings in this show. It might surprise you but my wife and I, we are in agreement that we shouldn't be celebrating her birthday here tonight, instead we should be celebrating all the promise and potential that stands on the other side of the curtain. That is the principle on which this show was founded, my wife and I shouldn't be here taking the spotlight, taking your air time, and taking your show, but Roberto Verona has entrusted me to come out here and try to fire up the piddly asses around here and that's what I intend to do as YOUR NEW MAN OF STEEL CHAMPION. You want the brass ring? Don't wait for somebody to hand it to you, step up and TAKE IT....until you do, we will celebrate anything else except the one thing we really should, we will celebrate everything else except YOU...

"Happy Birthday part 3"
----------------------------------------------------------
{ We come back from commercial and we see select members of the Training Grounds and Main Rosters stood around the ring, which is decorated in a red carpet, with balloons on the ring posts and a table set up in the middle with a birthday cake.
At the announcer's desk, Vasco Dias and Terri Morasco are wearing party hats. }Vasco Dias: Here we go, the main event of the night! It's time to party!
Terri Morasco: This is ridiculous.
{ The lights in the arena start to twinkle like diamonds, green, purple and red with the melodic holler and drum beat of ''Black and Silver" by Xandria. }Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, being accompanied to the ring by the NEW Man Of Steel Champion, the Corporate Asset, THE ACE, IWF COO ROBERTO VERONA, HANNAH REED AND ANDREW JACOBSEN...please welcome the Commissioner of the Imperial Wrestling Federation....KATHLEEN CONWAY!
{ The chords of an organ punctuate the words as Kathleen Conway appears on the stage with one hand on her right hip. Next to her, with the Man Of Steel Championship on his shoulder, in a smart shirt and trouser combo is her husband, The Ace. She is wearing a white blouse and a navy blue suit jacket, with a matching skirt and white high heel shoes. She takes her husband's hand and begins her walk down the ramp with a smile on her face. Following them behind is IWF COO, Roberto Verona, Hannah Reed and Andrew Jacobsen. The five of them get to the ring and climbs the steel steps into the ring. Roberto motions for a microphone and is given one by a stagehand. He walks to the middle, accompanied by Hannah. The Ace and Andrew Jacobsen stand either side of Kathy. }Terri Morasco: I'm getting word that Rob Diamond, Renee Pleasant, Malaki Toala, and Jack Gaither have been banned from being a part of these "celebrations" here tonight.
Vasco Dias: Good, we don't need any shenanigans ruining things here tonight.
Roberto Verona: Earlier tonight Kathy talked about being thankful for all of her successes, and whilst some around here might simply attribute her success to her being in bed with all the right people, something I'm sure Jake won't argue about, I see it as so much more. Kathy has a wonderful sense of what this business is really about, and part of why I hired her as the Commissioner is that I appreciate her acumen. Both her and Jake have been in this business for a number of years and more importantly than that, both have been on either side of that black curtain, and it is that kind of experience that I am extremely thankful for and I want her to consider all of this here tonight as a small token of my gratitude.
{ Kathy seems overcome with emotion as the crowd boo. }Roberto Verona: So thank you Kathy. Thank you for all your family has done and continues to do for the Imperial Wrestling Federation. Now let's get this party started, and I want you all to join us as we wish Commissioner Conway a very special Happy Birthday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
{ Roberto encourages everybody to join in and sing along. The Ace, Andrew Jacobsen, Hannah Reed and those few surrounding the ring who actually value their employment with IWF do. }Roberto Verona: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"
Vasco Dias: Come on Terri, sing along...
Terri Morasco: I'd rather not, thanks.
Roberto Verona: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY COMMISSIONER CONWAY! HAPPY BIRTHD -"
{ The crowd explode as the IWF COO is interrupted. "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys kicks into high gear as Fiona McFly marches out on stage, takes a bow, and heads down to the ring, full of fire. The corporate entourage are less than happy but the young fiery Irishwoman shows guts as she slides into the ring and gets face to face with Kathy Conway. The crowd anticipate a blow out and start chanting for Fiona. }Vasco Dias: What the hell does Fiona McFly think she's doing out here?
Terri Morasco: Saving us all.
Vasco Dias: You can't just go around interrupting prestigious members of the Corporation.
{ Fiona yanks the stick from Kathy, earning another wild cheer. She takes a good, long gander at the corporate lot with just a slight tinge of contempt. }Fiona McFly: Pardon me for coming out here tonight, but logic dictates that I get a few things off my back. So, the benevolent Kathy Conway decides that she wants to throw a birthday party for herself. Under normal circumstances, I would be happy to celebrate with you...
{ Kathy ekes out a sly grin. }Fiona McFly: ...but with that disgustingly arrogant smirk on your face, I'd say ya look like ya just gave fellatio to that grumpy old mountain goat over there named Roberto Verona.
Fans: OHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
{ The crowd goes nuts as the Wisconsin alum lets out a warm grin before turning her attention towards The Ace. }
Fiona McFly: My *dear* lad Jake, you might've thought that you could get away with your petty ambush on my fiancee the other night, but when ya fuck with Jack, ya fuck with me. I came out here to give ya a warnin'--watch your arse. 'Cause when Jack gets a hold of you, he's going to stick his steel-toed snakeskin cowboy boots up your bum and use your dick as a dildo.
{ As the crowd cheers, we hear Terri Morasco cracking up over her headset as Fiona looks around at all the suits in the ring. }Fiona McFly: What's the matter, darlings? Do ya SERIOUSLY believe that I don't have the balls to walk out here and use a few...colorful metaphors? I've got more balls than Miss Kathy's got tits, and...
{ An instant pop from the crowd ensues. }Fiona McFly: ...as Jack would say: "that's how I see it."
{After Fiona has spoken her mind, the crowd start to boo as Kathy takes a step back, and snatches the microphone from her.}Kathy Conway: Just who in the hell do you think you are anyway? You know what? It doesn't even matter, you have the audacity to come out here and try to embarrass me in front of my colleagues and my friends on MY birthday, it must mean you're really desperate to get my attention. Well, I'll tell you what, little girl, if you want my attention that badly, you can have it. You can have all the attention you want because for the next two weeks I'm putting you on probation. For the next two weeks the terms of your IWF contract are subject to review as I evaluate whether or not you deserve your place in this company and in the Diamonds Division. That means for the next two weeks you wrestle who I tell you to wrestle, you do what I tell you to do. YOU FALL IN LINE because if you don't I WILL personally revoke your precious Jack's contendership status and I WILL TERMINATE THE BOTH OF YOU. That means no title shot, no job, nothing...
{ The crowd boo as Kathy smiles. Fiona starts to back away, she quickly spots the untouched birthday cake on the table and picks it up, with a mischievous look on her face. The crowd are cheering her on and Kathy is shaking her head. }Vasco Dias: Don't do it Fiona! Think about what you're doing here, you're in enough trouble already!
Terri Morasco: Kathy Conway is about to learn that you can't have your cake and eat it too!
{ Fiona looks out to the crowd and nods at Kathy before launching the cake right into the Commissioner's face, thoroughly embarrassing her. Kathy wipes frosting and cream out of her eyes as Fiona jumps out of the ring, the crowd chanting her name as her music plays, backing up the ramp with a huge smile on her face, high-fiving some of the fans. }Vasco Dias: I can't believe what just happened! Commissioner Conway just got humiliated!
Terri Morasco: It's about time somebody stood up to her!
Vasco Dias: You have to believe this will not bode well for young Fiona.
Terri Morasco: Tune in next week to find out folks! Good night everybody!
{ We fade to the IWF copyright 2015 logo on from irate Kathy in the middle of the ring as Training Grounds comes to a close. }
Well howdy there pardner.
