Andrew Jacobsen is a former NCW World champion, an accolade he received by defeating Xander Famularo nearly three years ago. Another former champion involved in this match is Eddie Black who enjoyed a lengthy reign with his brother as an IWF Tag Team champion.

IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERSHIP
ULTIMATE-X MATCH
Eddie Black vs Alexander Atwater vs Andrew Jacobsen vs El Guernica

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

Eddie Black and Alexander Atwater are declared co-winners after both men fall to the mat clutching the contract in their hands. This match started out with a great deal of high energy as all four men got the crowd pumped up early for our show opener. El Guernica took it high risk and paid the price, crashing threw a table that had been set up awkwardly that effectively took him out of the match. The remaining three competitors went back and forth before eventually all three climbed the structure and struggled over the contract. Eventually Jacobsen lost his footing as Guenrica made a valiant resurgence and took Jcobsen down off the structure. As the pair fell but as he did so he upset the balance of his foes who both grabbed on to the prize and went plummeting to the mat below.

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

IWF MAN OF STEEL CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERSHIP
EUROPEAN ROUNDS MATCH
Nighthawk vs Kyle Mason

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

Alison Valance: “This next contest is the special European Rounds match. The rules are as follows: There will be 10 rounds, each round 5 minutes in duration. The winner will be the first to gain 2 falls, which will be acquired by either a pinfall, submission, or countout. If either man is unable to answer the referee’s 10-count or is deemed incapable of defending himself, he will be considered knocked out and his opponent declared the victor immediately. Any fall causes the round to end immediately.

There will be no closed-fist strikes to the face or striking a downed opponent in any way. Any attempt to break one of these rules will result in a public warning. If either Nighthawk or Kyle Mason receive 3 public warnings, the contest is over and their opponent will be declared the winner.”

{AFI - Miseria Cantare blares through the PA system as Kyle Mason steps out from behind the curtains. Natasha appears behind him as he thrust his hands in the air. Natasha runs her hand on his chest before kissing him on his cheek and joining his side as he walks down to the ring. Mason hops up on the ring apron and sits on the ropes to allow Natasha in the ring. Natasha smiles at Mason as she climbs up on the ring apron and slowly bends over in front of Mason before stepping into the ring. Kyle joins her in the ring as streamers fly into the ring. Natasha gives Kyle a few words of advice before leaving the ring and Kyle leans against the turnbuckle waiting for the match to begin.}

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

Alison Valance: “Introducing first, in the corner to my left, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada…. He weighed in at 200 pounds even. Please welcome…. ‘The Strong Style Machine’ Kyle Mason!”

{As Kyle Mason steps out of his corner, an arrogant smile clearly on his face, the crowd does not respond with cheers of appreciation but instead boos him openly and vociferously.}

Alison Valance: “His opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, USA and weighing in at 185 pounds please welcome a former British Heavy Middleweight Champion, and the 2007 King of Europe…. ‘The Man of 1000 Holds’…. ‘The Wrestling Machine’ Nighthawk!”

Terri Morasco: “This is going to be a wildly interesting contest here, Vasco. Two men who each consider themselves to be the finest technicians in the IWF, and by extension the entire world, will settle it in a match literally purpose-built for the idea. Vasco, you have wrestled in a few of these. Who does the structure favor?”

Vasco Dias: “I have to think that it favors Nighthawk. He’s the one who’s made the challenge. He is, as we heard from Allison Valance, a former British Heavy Middleweight Champion, and a former King of Europe which is a highly prestigious tournament held under the same rules as this match will be. I do not know if Kyle Mason has ever wrestled a rounds match where he can’t wrestle ‘all-in’, as classically trained European wrestlers call our American style. It will be fun to see what happens.”

Alison Valance: “Seconds away. Round 1.”

{As the referee rings the bell to start the 1st round Nighthawk and Kyle Mason move into the center of the ring, before immediately going for a collar-and-elbow lock-up where Kyle is able to lock in a tight standing cravate, grinding the bone of his forearm across the nose of the Chicago native to try and get as much out of the hold as is humanly possible. Trying to escape the hold Nighthawk quickly tries to spin out but can’t do it as Kyle simply takes the cravate to the ground and turns it into a seated variation of the hold. Shaking his head no when the referee comes over to see if he wants to surrender the 1st fall Nighthawk crosses his legs together and then weaves his left hand through the opening which he then waggles in front of the face of Kyle Mason, who takes the hand even as his seconds scream at him from ringside not to do so. Rather immediately the warning of the seconds proves correct as Nighthawk uses that as a base to weave the Calgary native down into a quick attempt at an omoplata which unfortunately is fully applied for a very short period of time before Kyle gets to the ropes to force Nighthawk to stop trying to get it fully hooked in. moving back into the center of the ring, his eyes steadfastly focused on the left arm of the self-described “Strong Style Nightmare”, the “Wrestling Machine” waits for Kyle to get back to his feet which he does even as he gets into an argument with spectators at the first row of ringside. But as they again go back to the collar-and-elbow lock-up Kyle locks in a deep full-nelson, quickly taking it to the mat as he drives his knees into the lower back which creates a brutal variation known as the sugar hold. Letting out a strangled no when the referee asks him if he wants to quit Nighthawk now tries to see if he can figure out a way to escape this hold with the ease in which he was able to break away from the 1st one. Crossing his legs together at the ankles the “Man of 1000 Holds” slowly rocks his way out of the full nelson as Kyle Mason tries to keep him locked in firmly.}

Alison Valance: “3 minutes left in Round 1. 3 Minutes.”

Terri Morasco: “Right now, Nighthawk hasn’t really been able to get his offense started but has still managed to control the match purely through not letting Kyle Mason get anything going. Sugar Hold? Nighthawk countered that easily. Cravate? Nighthawk countered that too.”

Vasco Dias: “Nighthawk has to go after the left arm here pretty soon, Terri. He has so many different armlock submissions that he can go too, including the Windy City Stretch and the Hangman’s Clutch. But in order for those to work like he wants those to, he has to get to work on the left arm.”

{ Eventually Kyle has to release the hold as Nighthawk manages to wriggle free of the manoeuvre and buy himself a little more time. Moving back into the center of the ring Nighthawk raises his left hand above his head for a knucklelock challenge which Kyle Mason accepts handily only to see Nighthawk weave his left leg through the knucklelock for a knucklelock armdrag, which he holds on to and quickly turns over into a gorgeous stepover armbar which he pulls back on until the Calgary native gets to the ropes to force a break of the hold. Pulling himself up to his feet Kyle shoves Nighthawk in the face with an open hand before turning to the crowd to rebuke them for supporting such a “soft hero”. Kyle lambasts them for a little longer but as he turns back around the Chicago native is waiting for him and feints a superkick attempt which allows him to quickly hook in a standing wristlock. Trying desperately to escape the hold Kyle tries to roll through the wristlock only to see Nighthawk roll with him in the complete opposite direction, a gambit which serves not just to keep the wristlock applied but also to keep him from reaching the ropes. Pulling again on the wristlock the “Wrestling Machine” now begins to slowly turn the left arm of the “Strong-Style Nightmare” until it is at something visually approaching an L-Shape as he seems to be looking for an elevated wristlock commonly known as the Jim Breaks Special. But as Nighthawk continues to torque away on the left arm Kyle finally rakes the eyes to escape the hold. Kyle then leaps up and begins to deliver a few swift kicks to the ribs of Nighthawk to keep him grounded for a moment and to gain an ascendancy in this match. Unfortunately he does so in full view of the referee who breaks both men apart and delivers a public warning to Kyle Mason who smiles wryly from ear to ear, accepting his punishment but being pleased with his weakening of his opponent.}

Alison Valance: “Kyle Mason has been issued a public warning. This is his 1st. Also 1 minute left in round 1.”

Terri Morasco: “What was he thinking? A guy who spent as much time bragging about his technical superiority doesn’t need to resort to those sort of tactics.”

Vasco Dias: “This is where that inexperience in this match type comes to play. I’ve wrestled in a few European Rounds matches, and even had a few public warnings issued against me. The trick is that you’re supposed to keep them in your hat for later rounds. However, if you can take your chances to gain an upper hand in the ring you’ve got to take them.”

{ The pair lock up again, allowed Kyle to take advantage of his ascendancy as he delivers a hip toss to Nighthawk that sends him crashing to the mat. Kyle locks in an armbar but his hip toss planted Nighthawk too close to the ropes allowing him to force a break in the manoeuver. Kyle picks Nighthawk up and delivers a snap suplex before lifting him up again to perform a standard suplex, only this time he holds Nighthawk up above his head in the air for a while as he marches around the ring to show off his strength. Kyle continues to showboat at Nighthawk slowly pulls himself back up. Advancing back into the center of the ring Nighthawk goes right back to the left arm as he once again goes back to a wristlock, taking that down to the mat as he places his kneecap right on the triceps to keep the arm stabilized as the wristlock continues to do its work. But as he tries to move from the wristlock into perhaps an omoplata the bell rings to signal the end of Round 1.}

Terri Morasco: “If we’re being honest, in that round, Kyle Mason dodged a bullet. He was being outwrestled in spells through the 1st round, and got a public warning to boot.”

Vasco Dias: “Normally, I’d recommend cheating to get things back under control. But considering Kyle already has a public warning on his ledger, that might not be the best idea.”

Alison Valance: “Seconds away. Round 2.”

{As the referee rings the bell to start the 2nd round Kyle Mason again moves into the center of the ring and goes for another headlock only to see that parried and countered with an ipponzei right through into a stepover armbar. Pulling back tightly on the armbar Nighthawk even scoots himself back away from the ropes as the armbar continues to do its work. Cranking tighter and tighter on the stepover armbar Nighthawk finally lets go when Kyle Mason enthusiastically surrenders.}

Alison Valance: “At 1 minute of Round 2, the winner via stepover armbar….. ‘The Wrestling Machine’ Nighthawk!”

Terri Morasco: “Kyle Mason has to get it together, and do it quickly.”

Vasco Dias: “Nighthawk, conversely, can just stay on this same track and do what he needs to do.”

Alison Valance: “Seconds away. Round 3.”

{As the referee rings the bell to start the 3rd round as Kyle charges forward and plants Nighthawk with a well-executed clothesline, as Nighthawk leaps up he finds himself almost losing his head from another much stronger clotheslines from Mason. Kyle takes full advantage of this to yank Nighthawk off of the mat and deliver a vicious DDT before hoisting him up and using the ropes to whip him before flying back with a spinning elbow on the rebound. Kyle is building up a head of steam here as he picks Nighthawk up and holds him firmly under one arm before he strikes with a perfectly executed The Quickening! Kyle goes for the cover, 1…..2……3! Kyle Mason picks up a fall to tie this match up! }

Alison Valance: And the winner of the second fall, Kyle Mason!

Vasco Dias: With a huge flurry of offence Kyle just got himself back into this match!

Terri Morasco: Fully deserved too Vasco, he knew he needed to get back into this and quick and he did everything it took.

{ The referee points both men to their corners as Kyle is pumped up and ready for this match. A few moments back before the pair are unleashed again as Kyle barrels full speed towards his opponent. Nighthawk, however, manages to duck under a wild swing and goes for a crucifix pin, reaching back behind him to hook both legs but only getting a 2-count. Floating through Nighthawk locks in the Hangman’s Clutch deep and pulls tight on the hold until Kyle again taps out.}

Alison Valance: “At 4 minutes of round 3, the winner via Hangman’s Clutch and the winner of the match 2 falls to 1….. ‘The Wrestling Machine’ Nighthawk!”

IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES MATCH
Aaron Owens (c) vs Mike Madness

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

{"Blackstar" hits and Owens bursts from behind the curtain, bouncing up and down atop the stage area. He makes his way down the ramp, slapping the outstretched hands of the fans, and quickly scales the ring steps before stepping through the ropes and making his way towards the nearest corner. He continues to bounce in place while waiting for the match to begin.}

Terri Morasco: And coming to the ring is the IWF Invictus Champion, Aaron Owens! What a cutie he is! The fans just eat up this kids work ethic and the fact that he represents the future of this business.

Vasco Dias: This is going to be a battle of wills Terri, because Aaron Owens is taking on the ever dangerous Mike Madness.

{"Devil" hits the PA system and red lights flash over the crowd and the arena. After a few brief seconds, Double M comes out and raises his hands up and throws them back down before running down to the ring and slides in legs first. He then poses up on the turnbuckle and gives the peace sign before dropping down to his feet on the mat.}

Terri Morasco: Speaking of Madness, here he comes. And he looks particularly focused on Aaron Owens tonight.

Vasco Dias: The pepperoni definitely slid off that boy’s pizza; but he’s damn sure ready to go!

{The match opens up with Owens and Madness tying up in the center of the ring. Madness overpowers Owens and drives him back into the corner, laying into him with a wicked chest chop. Madness lays into Owens with a back elbow. Madness whips Owens across the ring and charges in but catches a boot to the face. Madness turns around and charges right back in and catches a boot to the face again. Owens pops up on the top rope and propels himself off the top rope, bulldogging Madness to the mat. Owens takes the opportunity to lock in a crossface. Madness quickly fights his way to the ropes. Owens lets go and pops to his feet quickly.}

Terri Morasco: It looks like the two of them are opening this up, and Madness is using his size to his advantage.

Vasco Dias: Madness is driving those elbows into Owens and doing some real damage.

Terri Morasco: Owens showing some great ring smarts in the center of the ring. Owens with a nice counter to Madness’ efforts

Vasco Dias: Madness has the sense of mind to get to the ropes and get away from that crossface. What a smart wrestler inside the ring.

{Madness uses the ropes to get up, but Owens chargers him immediately. Madness drops his shoulder and launches Owens over the top rope. Owens lands on his feet on the apron and uses both arms to block the lariat aimed for his head. Owens drops his shoulders between the ropes and nails Madness in the gut with a shoulder block. Owens pops up and nails an enziguri with the help of the ropes. Madness stumbles backwards, dazed, allowing Owens to pop up on the top rope and use it as a springboard. Owens catches Madness with a quick springboard DDT, popping the crowd. Owens goes for a quick cover.}

Terri Morasco: Owens is finding a way to get away from Madness and do something offensively productive.

Vasco Dias: Springboard DDT! This could be over!

ONE!

TWO!

{Madness kicks out.}

Vasco Dias: TWO! Madness kicks out at two!

Terri Morasco: Aaron Owens looks beside himself after not getting the fall with that one.

{ Owens gets up and quickly picks up Madness, hooking in a double underhook. Owens is about to start laying in the knees when Madness twists free and steps behind Owens. Madness throws Owens over his head with a german suplex. Owens tries to struggle free, but Madness’ holds onto him like a vice. Madness gets them both back to their feet and dumps Owens over again, refusing to relinquish his grip. Owens tries to roll free, but is far too groggy to make a good effort of it. Madness gets Owens back to his feet and launches him over with a third german suplex. Madness bridges on the third suplex, hoping to get the quick pin out of it.}

Terri Morasco: Owens had the upper hand, but Mike Madness shut that down!

Vasco Dias: A series of german suplexes! It’s going to be difficult to kick out after that.


ONE!

TWO!

{Owens kicks out}

Terri Morasco: Owens kicks out! What heart and tenacity!

Vasco Dias: This is one of those once in a lifetime battles Terri!

{Madness gets up frustrated and pulls Owens up with him. With Owens hunched over, Madness drives Owens back down to the mat with a very stiff forearm across the back. Owens tries to get up a few seconds later, but Madness drives him back down into the mat. Madness picks up Owens and hooks him for a vertical suplex. Madness snaps Owens over with the suplex and rolls over immediately, picking up Owens. Madness stuffs Owens between his legs and picks him up, charging towards the corner. Madness powerbombs Owens into the top turnbuckle and Owens drops face first onto the mat. }

Vasco Dias: Madness is showing that not getting that fall is really getting under his skin

Terri Morasco: What a snap suplex. Owens’ back is taking a beating in there.

Vasco Dias: Turnbuckle powerbomb! BOOM!

Terri Morasco: Madness is on a tear! Owens is in big trouble.

{Madness smirks and picks up Owens, driving him back into the corner. Madness whips Owens across the ring and follows him in close behind, nailing him with a body avalanche. Madness picks up Owens and plants him on the top rope and starts to climb up with him. Madness hooks Owens arm over his head and launches them both back into the center of the ring. Owens takes the big superpplex and comes to a dead halt in the center of the ring. Madness sits up with a smirk on his face and gets to his feet, stalking Owens. When Owens turns around, Madness boots him and hits him with a package piledriver. Madness goes for a cover.}

Terri Morasco: Package piledriver! This is it!

Vasco Dias: New Invictus Champion! Right here!

ONE!

TWO!

{Owens kicks out!}

Terri Morasco: NO! Owens kicks out!

Vasco Dias: WOW! What heart! Nothing is going to keep Owens down!

{Madness growls and starts to argue with the ref over his counting, allowing Owens some time to get back to his feet. Madness turns around and marches in, trying to launch Owens over with another German suplex. Owens flips out of it and lands on his feet. When Madness turns around, Owens starts to lay into him with a series of kicks to the legs that lowers Madness to the mat, and then starts to kick away at his body. Madness drops face first into the mat, barely able to move after the waylaying of kicks.}

Vasco Dias: Madness is arguing with the ref. That’s not terribly bright.

Terri Morasco: Owens is on fire! He’s coming back and he’s coming back hard!

Vasco Dias: He’s like a case of herpes on Mike Madness’ ass!

Terri Morasco: That’s very tru… wait… no! OH! Madness is down after that series of kicks!

{Owens steps behind Madness, and hooks him in the wheelbarrow position. Owens launches Madness up in the air and then drops out, hitting Madness with a double knee lung blower that leaves Madness writhing around in pain on the mat. Madness rolls to the corner and eventually comes to a rest slumped against the bottom turnbuckle. Owens charges across the ring from the opposite corner, landing a big hang time dropkick right into Madness’ face. Madness flops around for a moment, and then turns over, using the ropes to pick himself up. When he does, Owens traps both of his arms and hits him with a german suplex that he bridges into a pin}

Vasco Dias: Aaron Owens might have Madness here

Terri Morasco: He might retain his title!

ONE!

TWO!

{Madness kicks out}

Terri Morasco: Madness kicks out! It’s not over just yet!

Vasco Dias: Both of these men are giving it their all.

{Owens gets up, stalking around Madness as he gets up. Madness gets up and turns around, getting nailed with the Board Wipe. Madness gets up, stunned from the exploder suplex that dumped him on his head. Madness can’t stay on his feet and drops to a knee. Owens charges across the ring as Madness drops to his knee. Owens flys through the air, hitting Madness with the Explosive Shot. Owens covers Madness immediately.}

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

The Olympians (c) vs The Fucking Rednecks

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

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



Firenze Everett is now the longest reigning IWF Ruby champion in company history, surpassing the reigns of big names such as Mercedes Vargas, Amber Richards and even the current IWF Diamond's champion, Ana Jones.

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

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

IWF RUBY CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES MATCH
Firenze Everett (c) vs Fiona McFly

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

Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your local host for “Night of the Immortals!” He is the radio voice of the NFL's Washington Redskins—LARRY MICHAEL!!

{A recording of “Hail to the Redskins” plays as Larry Michael—sporting a burgundy shirt with the team's logo on the front—makes his way from the backstage area towards the ringside commentary table, where he takes a seat inbetween Terri Morasco and Vasco Dias.}

Terri Morasco: Welcome to the broadcast position Larry!

Larry Michael: Thank you very much, folks. It's great to be here—what an AWESOME scene here at FedExField!

Terri Morasco: No kidding! We've got nearly 90,000 fans here and lots more action along the way including the Ruby Championship match between Fiona McFly and Firenze Everett!

Vasco Dias: Which is comin' up...right now!

{Red lights will start flashing as the music starts and as Firenze Everett walks out, a red spotlight will shine on her as she walks down with a smirk on her face toward the crowd who boos her rather loudly. She walks and simply revels in their reaction toward her as she slowly steps into the ring, smirk ever present as she heads toward a corner of the ring, sits on the top turnbuckle to await her opponent.}

Terri Morasco: You can say what you will, but Firenze Everett has managed to dominate the Ruby Championship scene for the past six months or so.

Vasco Dias: Well yeah—there's been no competition...

Larry Michael: She's got that “business as usual” look on her face.

{"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--giving lucky fans quick pecks on the cheek along the way. }

Terri Morasco: Listen to this 89,000-plus here!

Larry Michael: This is my pick, folks!

Vasco Dias: You're picking Fiona?!

Larry Michael: Yep—you don't need a flashy entrance with lots of bang to be successful.

{The referee holds the Ruby Championship belt up to show the nearly 90,000 strong FedExField crowd before handing it off the attendant on the field level. He goes over some last-minute briefings with the two ladies before calling for the bell!}

[DING!]

Larry Michael: Here we go!

{We start things off with the traditional staredown. While Fiona looks to be calm and mindful for her thoughts, Firenze smirks with a slight tinge of sinister gleefulness before lanunching into an open-hand slap, earning a round of boos from the Maryland faithful, followed by another. The Irishwoman finds herself backed in the corner before the New Yorker yanks her out of there, using the hair to take Fiona down to the deck. Firenze grins from ear to ear despite the ref's warnings about pulling the hair; she goes on the offensive again, this time methodically scratching the Badger alum's face and raking her eyes. The fans continue to boo as the zebra pulls Everett off of her rival and issues a few more stern directives.}

Terri Morasco: Look at that disgustingly arrogant smirk on Firenze's kisser!

Larry Michael: On the gridiron, this would be a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Vasco Dias: Too bad there aren't exactly “penalties” in wrestling.

{Fiona rolls around the canvas, trying to collect herself as the FedExField gallery continues to jeer. Yet Everett continues the relentless attack, pulling the inexperienced lady up by the hair once more and taking her back down with a snap suplex, followed by a second—and a third for good measure! Finally, Firenze goes for the slow, nonchalant cover—not even bothering to hook the leg.}

1...!

2...!!

NOPE!!!

{The New Yorker shakes her head and keeps trekking forward, opting to pull McFly up by the hair AGAIN—this time, sending her for the ride. Fiona bounces off the ropes and munches on a mafia kick and snapmare combination, transitioning into a reverse chinlock. The ref makes sure that it's not a chokehold before checking to make sure if the ex-Badger wants to quit; Fiona shakes her head “no” as the hold tightens—yet Everett decides to give her opponent a good poke in the eye, earning her a few more choice words from the zebra in the process. The New Yorker plays the role of innocent and continues to tighten the pressure even further; once more, Fiona takes a good rake into her eyes! The referee has had enough of this shit and physically YANKS the Ruby Champion off, earning a few cheers!}

Vasco Dias: Stupid referee!

Terri Morasco: Well the zebra's gotta teach Firenze that, yes, there ARE rules in this match!

{Firenze displays that evil smile on her face before slowly sauntering toward a seemingly defenseless Fiona; she puts the ex-Badger's eyes across the middle strand and begins raking her eyes with the rope itself, drawing MORE boos!}

Vasco Dias: Say Larry, your pick's in deep trouble!

Larry Michael: Well I don't know much about wrestling in the first place, but I love it when the wrestlers go to the boiler. When they do that knee to the boiler, those tend to really hurt!

Referee: LET 'ER OUTTA THERE OR I'LL DISQUALIFY! ONE...TWO...THREE...!!!

{Everett backs off for a moment before pulling Fiona back up by the hair for the umpteenth time! This time, the rookie McFly winds up on the wrong end of an inverted DDT before transitioning into a front facelock. The official checks to see whether or not Fiona wants to give up, but she keeps on fighting for what its worth. The crowd urges the Irishwoman on as she tries to pull herself back to a vertical position, but the more experience New Yorker puts a halt to that with a vicious belly-to-back suplex before going for another slow cover.}

1...!

2...!!

KICKOUT!!!

Terri Morasco: Fifi just snuck out the back door!

Larry Michael: Gotta admit, she's holding her own out there!

Vasco Dias: It'll be over quicker than RG3's next interception.

Terri Morasco: WILL YOU STOP!?!

{Firenze stands up pissed. She's had enough of this shit and decides to end the match quickly and go home! She immediately picks Fiona up off the deck and sets her up for her patented FINALE Queen Bomb package!}

Terri Morasco: Uh-oh! Finale comin' up!

Larry Michael: Well, there goes my pick.

Vasco Dias: Firenze hasn't even broken a sweat!

{Fiona winds up on the business end of Everett's Finale finisher, but the Ruby Champion doesn't go for a cover! Instead, she seductively makes her way up to the top rope and blows kisses to the booing crowd in all four corners of the 19-year-old stadium. Fiona is lied out spread-eagle on the deck below as Firenze gets ready to execute her FROG SPLASH!}

Larry Michael: I think she's taking a little too much time here!

Terri Morasco: You might be right—

Vasco Dias: --or wrong!

{Firenze leaps off the top rope with her frog splash, only to find nothing except a pair of Fiona-endorsed raised knees! The fans go wild as the Ruby Champion rolls around on the mat, clutching her chest as the Irishwoman pulls herself back up in the corner. Her face beet red from all the poking and scratching, Fiona wastes very little time and goes right after Everett, grounding and pounding on her with a series of wild and vicious open-handed slaps! The Badger alum then quickly turns her rival around and begins rubbing her face into the canvas, earning lots of raucous approval—even as the ref pulls her away! Firenze, stunned by the turn of events, qiuckly gets back to her feet and makes a charge—only to end up taking a HUGE back bodydrop that flips Everett head over heels over the top rope and onto the floor!}

Vasco Dias: That should be a disqualification! That was an intentional throw over the top by Fiona to save herself!

Terri Morasco: Just like all the times McFLy's been poked and raked, I'd say they're even!

Larry Michael: As I hear the roar of the crowd, I figured it was louder than a car race or something like that. I'm loving this picture already—thank you for having me here, it's a real treat!

Referee: ONE...TWO...

{The zebra begins his ten-count as both ladies find themselves out on the field; Fiona sends Firenze for the ride—causing the New Yorker to crash headlong into the safety fence!}

Referee: THREE...FOUR...

{Immediately, Fiona grabs Firenze and dumps her back into the ring. The Irishwoman applies a quick suplex, followed by a second and then a scoop slam! The challenger goes for a quick cover!}

1...!

2...!!

NO MA'AM!!

{Fiona goes back on the offensive, nailing Firenze with a standing headscissor takedown—transitioning the move into a modified pinning combination!}

1...!

2...!!

NOPE!!

{Fiona continues her attack, going for a second scoop slam, but Firenze rolls her up into a surprise small package—placing one hand on the middle rope unbeknownst to the zebra for leverage!}

1...!

2...!!

THREEEEE—NO!!!

Larry Michael: That Firenze gal tried to cheat!

Terri Morasco: But Fiona snuck out the back door yet again!

{The New Yorker is absolutely LIVID at this point, berating the official who holds up two fingers! On the other hand, Fiona calmly props herself back to her feet and sneaks up from behind the Ruby Champion; before she can even react, Firenze winds up locked into Fiona's kimura hold as the crowd goes apeshit!}

Terri Morasco: SHAMLOCK! WILL FIRENZE TAP OUT?!

{FedExField goes NUTS as McFly's got her patented submission hold locked in tightly! Firenze tries desperately to fight the hold, reaching for that coveted bottom rope! Before she gets there, however, Fiona drags her back toward the center of the ring and attempts to apply the Shamlock for a second time, but the ex-Badger's surprised when she has her legs scooped out from under her! As Firenze goes for the pin, she places her feet on the middle rope—unseen by the zebra!}

1...!

2...!!

THREEEEEEE!!!!!!

[DING-DING-DING!!]

Larry Michael: OH NO!

Terri Morasco: Gimme a break!

{“You Know My Name” plays once more as the fans go into full-scale riot mode, throwing garbage into the ring as Everett swipes her Ruby Championship and makes a hasty exit.}

Vasco Dias: This is beautiful!

Larry Michael: Awww...ya mean to tell me that Fiona had that Shamlock locked in but she got pinned instead?!

Terri Morasco: Fiona deserves better than this! That was a miscarriage of justice—and you call Firenze Everett a TRUE Ruby Champion?! GIMME A BREAK!!

{Fiona is left in the ring, visibly upset as she wonders just what the hell happened out there.}

DEATH CAGE MATCH
Angel Blake vs Spike Kane

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

{ The arena goes dark as “Oh Death” by Jennifer Titus begins to echo through out the arena. There is a chill in the air as mist seems to rise from the stage and down the ramp. }

Vasco Dias: It looks like Angel Blake is about to make his way to the ring.

Terri Morasco: This is eerie Vasco.

Vasco Dias: I’ve literally got Goosebumps right now.

{ There is a low hum in the arena as the fans wait in anticipation for Angel’s entrance. One by one men in long dark robes begin to emerge from the back, they seem to be carrying something. Slowly the object comes into view and it’s large black cross covered in barbed wire. }

Vasco Dias: Is that?

Terri Morasco: A barbed wire covered crucifix? Yes.

{ The men slowly walk it down the ramp and position t standing up directly in front of the ring. }

Vasco Dias: This ominous!

Terri Morasco: It’s a sign of things to come!

{ Slowly the men work their way to the back when suddenly lighting strikes the cross and it bursts into flames as “Sail” by Devildriver kicks right into high gear. The arena lights begin to strobe as the crowd cheers wildly for the man that steps out from the back. Angel Blake in full war paint, his usual ring gear replaced with large shoulder spikes coming off of his jacket, his black tights air brushed with images of rotting corpses. He stands with his head bowed for a moment before throwing his arms out into the “Chris” pose and flames erupting behind him. }

Vasco Dias: Angel Blake is here!!!

{ Angel begins his march to the ring where he finally comes face to face with the large black burning cross, he smiles as he slowly walks around it. He throws his long coat off and the lights in the arena come back on. Angel walks up the steps and climbs into the weapons filled cage with a grin on his face as the crowd chants his name. }

Vasco Dias: This is a surreal sight, this time last year Angel was facing off against Malaki Toala for the Imperial Championship, the Age of X was in full swing and he was the most hated man in the world.

Terri Morasco: Things have really come full circle now as the fans seem to be embracing him after his loss to Seth Evans and his march toward vengeance against Spike Kane.

{ The feeling in the arena starts to change as the house lights start to throb red. Our attention is brought to the side of the stage area where a structure begins to rise. }

Vasco Dias: Whats this?

{ As it comes into view we see it’s another stage with a large banner behind it that reads “Killswitch Engage” and the entire band stands with instruments in hand. }

Howard Jones: ARE YOU READY FOR THE GOD OF XTREME!!!!!

{ The crowd pops for Howard Jones and the rest of the band as they begin to play “In Due Time.” }

Howard Jones: Death comes for all! ALL IN DUE TIME!!!!

{ They kick it into gear as Spike Kane comes roaring out from the back in a “Fight! Spike! Fight!” t-shirt and pyro goes off behind him. }

Vasco Dias: Spike Kane has brought Killswitch Engage to IWF!

Terri Morasco: This is freaking awesome!

{ Spike runs over to where the band is and begins to head bang with them, grabbing Howard Jones by the head they sing the lyrics together. }

Spike Kane: PACING AIMLESSLY!!! WHEN MY MIND IS UNREST!!!

{ Spike breaks off now as Howard continues and throws his arms up trying to rile the crowd before stand at the center of the ramp and throwing his arms up into the “X”! }

Vasco Dias: Spike Kane is ready for war and he brought an army!

Terri Morasco: This is going to be good!

{ Spike marches toward the ring with a cocky grin on his face as he points at Angel and begins to talk trash. Spike arrogantly walks around the cage structure and nods his head as the fans reach out for him but he brushes them off. Spike makes it back to the cage door and steps up onto the apron. He and Angel lock eyes as he climbs into the ring. The referee slowly closes the door. }

Vasco Dias: These two men have been battling each other for almost ten years, they’ve fought in so many different kinds of matches, shed blood, broken bones, they are true warriors and probably the best this generation has ever seen.

Terri Morasco: Hall of Fame wrestlers, world champions everywhere they’ve gone. This is easily the biggest match of the night.

{ The two men stand across from each other, neither one taking their eyes off the other. The cage is covered in weapons, chairs, trash cans, two tables, barbed wire, it’s a living night mare. }

Vasco Dias: Generally in the Death Cage there is an object hanging over the top of the cage and the idea is to be the first one to climb the cage, move across the scaffold and get it.

Terri Morasco: The difference here is it’s pin fall or submission but there is still that scaffold laying across the top of the cage.

Vasco Dias: This match is going to get brutal in the worst kind of way.

{ The referee calls for the bell and there’s no finesse, no tie up, the two men explode out of their corners and collide in the middle of the ring with fists. }

Vasco Dias: Nothing fancy here, this is just going to be a fight.

Terri Morasco: Which is exactly what everyone was expecting.

{ Both men are just unleashing holy hell on each other, closed fists, the sound of flesh against flesh, bone against bone. Neither man is backing down from the fight. }

Vasco Dias: This is brutal!

{ Spike finally fires off a hard knee to the gut of Angel and grabs him by the tights and hair as he bends over and throws him face first into the wall of the steel cage. Angel bounces back and Spike grabs him around the waist and just throws him with an over head belly to belly suplex into the cage wall! }

Vasco Dias: Jesus!

Terri Morasco: Insane!

{ Spike laughs as Angel lays between the ropes and the wall and runs at him with everything he’s got and just kicks Angel right in the back of the head! Spike keeps his boot there and presses Angel’s face into the wall, using the ropes to apply even more pressure. }

Vasco Dias: This isn’t about winning or losing! It’s about causing pain.

{ Spike backs off and reaches up the wall where he breaks free a trash can. Angel rolls out from under the ropes and starts to get up but Spike rams the bottom of the trash can into the side of Angel’s head! Angel staggers and Spike slams the trash can over Angel so he’s stuck inside of it. Spike runs across the ring and comes roaring back with BLOODY SUNDAY!!! }

Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!!!

Terri Morasco: Spike just crushed Angel in that can!

{ Angel staggers but Spike doesn’t relent as he grabs Angel in a bear hug and throws him still inside of the can in another belly to belly, this time Angel crashes on the mat. Spike is quick to run over and cover Angel in the can. }

Vasco Dias: How’s he supposed to kick out!?

Terri Morasco: That’s the idea!

{ The referee isn’t sure if he should count but Spike screams at him to count any way. The referee drops down and hesitates then slaps the mat ONCE! TWICE! Angel manages to roll the can out from under Spike and start working himself free. }

Vasco Dias: Great ring awareness by Angel.

{ Angel gets the can off but Spike is right there with a stomp to the back of his head. He grabs a fist full of hair and pulls Angel to his feet. Spike mouths off to Angel and runs him toward another cage wall but this time Angel gets his boot up on the ropes and manages to push himself with a spring board and hit a neck breaker on Spike Kane! }

Vasco Dias: Angel is right back in this!

Terri Morasco: He’s already absorbed a lot of punishment! Can he come back?

Vasco Dias: I think so.

{ Angel is slow to his feet but he’s ready for Spike. Spike is right up but Angel connects with a back fist and then a spinning heel kick to the gut. Angel takes Spike by the ear and runs him across the ring and throws him into the corner. Spike tries to explode out but Angel hits the Genocide Kick and knocks Spike back into the corner. Angel scoops up the trash can and runs across the ring, he bounces off the opposing corner and crashes right into Spike with the trash can. He throws the can into the center of the ring and grabs Spike around the head then runs him out of the corner for the Heaven’s Fury bull dog into the trash can! }

Vasco Dias: Now Angel is the one getting brutal!

Terri Morasco: This is his match, Angel was in the first Death Cage back in ncw and was in every single one except one during the entire run of that company.

{ Angel doesn’t go for the pin, he gets up to his feet and approaches the cage wall and reaches up for the table. }

Vasco Dias: The table is coming into play now.

{ Angel gets the table down and starts to set it up leaning against the corner. Angel turns back to Spike who explodes off the mat with a SPEAR! Both men go through the table! }

Vasco Dias: JESUS!

Terri Morasco: Spike is putting his own body on the line, taking years off of his life.

Vasco Dias: These two men are the innovators of this style of wrestling, they excel at pushing past their own limits in the name of victory.

{ Spike is slow to his feet and he staggers around as he looks to the cage wall now and spots a steel chair. Spike grabs the chair off the wall and smiles as Angel is still trying to get up. }

Vasco Dias: Spike has that sick grin which we’ve seen before.

{ Angel is just about up when Spike comes at him swinging for the fences but Angel ducks the chair shot and gets behind Spike and connects with the Revelations! }

Vasco Dias: REVELATIONS!!!

Terri Morasco: He pulled that out of no where.

{ Angel stumbles to his feet now and spots his barbed wire covered bat. }

Vasco Dias: Here we go.

{ The fans pop as Angel pulls it off the cage wall. Spike starts to get up and charges Angel but Blake hits him right in the gut with the bat, then over the back. Spike drops to his hands and knees and Angel grabs him in a camel clutch, prying the bat against the head of Spike Kane! }

Terri Morasco: He’s using that barbed wire bat in the camel clutch!

Vasco Dias: He’s ripping the flesh of Spike Kane!

{ Angel lets out a roar as Spike starts to bleed. }

Vasco Dias: This is just disturbing.

{ Angel finally lets him go but the damage has been done. Spike lays on the mat, bleeding and Angel walks around him with the bat. Angel raises it over his head and brings it down on the spine of Spike Kane once, twice and a third time. }

Terri Morasco: He’s picking him apart.

{ Angel puts the bat down on the mat then grabs Spike by the ears and pulls him to his feet. Angel kicks him hard in the gut and looks to set him up for a pile driver onto the bat! }

Vasco Dias: This is going to be bad!

Terri Morasco: He could break his neck!

{ Angel lifts him up but Spike kicks his feet and gets them back on the mat, he connects with a European upper but and then twists Angel around into the WINGS OF LIBERTY ONTO THE BARBED WIRE BAT!!!! }

Vasco Dias: WHAT!?

{ Angel’s face is ripped open and bleeding as both men lay on the mat. }

Vasco Dias: That was insane.

Terri Morasco: Spike could have caused serious injury to the neck of Angel.

Vasco Dias: I can’t even believe what we’re seeing from these two men tonight.

{ Slowly Spike starts to sit up, he’s groggy but he has a grin on his face as he throws himself over Angel. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: How did he kick out!?

Terri Morasco: Sheer will!

{ Spike looks upset now as he pushes himself back to his feet. He rips Angel off the mat and picks him up into a power bomb throws Angel hard into the cage wall! }

Vasco Dias: Spike just threw him like he was nothing!

{ Spike takes the steel chair and starts to slam it against Angel as he lays on the mat. Spike picks the chair up and throws it down onto Angel. He then picks up the trash can and throws it down on top of Angel. Spike smirks now as he marches to the corner of the ring and starts to climb. }

Vasco Dias: What is he doing!?

Terri Morasco: Something dangerous.

{ Spike scales the cage wall and pulls himself up onto the scaffold on top of the cage. }

Vasco Dias: Spike is atleast twenty feet in the air right now.

{ Spike walks to the middle of the scaffold and looks down on Angel, he turns and leaps off with the BURNING STAR PRESS!!!! }

Vasco Dias: Burning Star off the scaffolding!!!!

Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD!!!

{ Spike lays on top of the rubble and Angel and the referee drops down to count. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: ONLY A TWO COUNT!?

Terri Morasco: Unbelievable!

Vasco Dias: Spike is in total shock!

{ Spike slams his hands against the mat as he rolls off of Angel and lays on his back. Spike sits up and grabs Angel, he pulls him up to his feet and drives a knee into his get, then another and another, Spike then picks him up looking for the Spike Impaler but Angel throws his feet and gets out of it, Spike fires off a clothes line but Angel gets behind him for an atomic drop! Angel turns Spike around and drops him with TARA’S WINGS!!! Right on the steel chair! }

Vasco Dias: Angel just drove Spike’s head into that chair!

Terri Morasco: I’m not sure either of these men will be cleared to wrestle for a long time after this match.

{ Slowly Angel rolls over and gets to his feet. Angel looks up and stars to walk to the corner of the ring. }

Vasco Dias: Now he’s going up!?

{ Angel climbs to the top rope and then starts to climb the cage until he reaches the scaffolding. }

Terri Morasco: This is not going to end well.

{ Angel is on top of the scaffolding now and throws his arms out into the “Christ” pose again as the crowd pops. Spike gets up and sees Angel up there. Angel waves him to come on up. }

Vasco Dias: Angel wants Spike on top of the scaffold!?

Terri Morasco: Of course he does.

{ Spike marches to the side of the cage and starts to climb up like a man possessed. }

Vasco Dias: They’ve both lost so much blood, they’ve given so much, and their still going!?

Terri Morasco: Their warriors and this is a war.

{ Spike reaches the scaffolding and gets to his feet. He and Angel face off on opposite sides of the scaffold and there is a certain tension in the air. }

Vasco Dias: You can literally feel the hatred in the air.

Terri Morasco: This war has been brewing for a long time. They’ve never liked each other, they never will and no matter who wins this match it won’t be over until one of them is dead.

{ They both run at each other and start throwing roaring elbows into the sides of each others heads. Their going toe to toe, screaming and bleeding as they just continue to hit each other with everything they’ve got. }

Vasco Dias: This was never going to be a match, it was always going to be a bloody battle!

Terri Morasco: And that’s how it’s going to end!

{ Spike starts to get the upper hand and blasts Angel with a kick to the stomach and then hits him with THUNDERSTRUCK!!! }

Vasco Dias: Angel is still standing!

{ Spike grabs him now that he’s dazed and picks him up for the SPIKE IMPALER ON TOP OF THE SCAFFOLD!!! }

Vasco Dias: The whole scaffold shook!

Terri Morasco: I don’t think it can take the weight of this war.

{ Spike tries to cover Angel but the referee says it has to be in the ring! }

Vasco Dias: Spike can’t pin him up there!

Terri Morasco: They are over the ring, not in it!

{ Spike looks furious as he pulls Angel to his feet, he picks him up like he’s going to power bomb Angel into the ring but Angel starts to fire off right hands until Spike drops him back to his feet. Spikes comes at Angel but Angel hits him with the Genocide Kick! Spike staggers toward the edge of the scaffolding and Angel hits him with another Genocide Kick and sends Spike sailing off the scaffold and crashing into the barbed wire erected cross standing in front of the cage!!!! }

Vasco Dias: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!

Terri Morasco: He just sent Spike off the side of the cage and into that barbed wire wrapped cross!!!

Vasco Dias: Spike’s back has to be completely cut up!

Terri Morasco: If not worse!

{ Angel staggers at the edge of the cage looking down on Spike who is laying on the now toppled over cross. }

Vasco Dias: Why does it feel like he has something in mind here?

Terri Morasco: Because he does.

{ Angel makes his hands into the shape of guns then points them at his own head. }

Vasco Dias: A salute to Falcon! His best friend!

{ Angel leaps off with the SWANTON BOMB!!!!! }

Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!!!

{ Angel lands right on top of Spike Kane and both men now lay on the outside. }

Terri Morasco: Angel took a page out of his old friends book right there.

Vasco Dias: Now he just needs to get Spike back in the ring.

{ Angel eventually rolls off of Spike and pushes himself to his feet. Spike seems to be out of it as Angel grabs for him to stand him up. }

Vasco Dias: Both men are looking worn out here.

Terri Morasco: But still going.

{ Angel drags Spike to the cage door and opens it but Spike suddenly comes to life and shoves Angel face first into the door frame then grabs the door and slams it against the head of Angel!!! Spike slams the door over and over and over and over until it’s bent and coming off the hinges! }

Vasco Dias: My god!

{ Spike screams as he crushes Angel with the door again, this time it comes off the cage completely! }

Vasco Dias: Jesus, he’s just going off!

Terri Morasco: The man is insane.

{ Angel lays against the ring apron bleeding as Spike starts to rip up the padded floor mats. }

Vasco Dias: Oh no…

{ Spike has the concrete exposed now and grabs Angel, he roughly picks him up into the air and slams him down onto the floor with a power bomb! }

Vasco Dias: Jesus.

{ Spike doesn’t let go, instead he picks him up for a second power bomb onto the floor! }

Terri Morasco: He’s going to crack his skull open!

Vasco Dias: He wants to end his career!

{ Spike pulls Angel up off the ground and throws him down the side of the ring where Angel slams into the guard rails. Spike runs down the length of the ring and hits the Bloody Sunday kick and knocks Angel over the railings into the crowd. }

Vasco Dias: Spike took that nasty fall and it’s sent him into another gear!

{ Spike rips Angel to his feet and suplexs him back over the guard rails onto the floor! }

Terri Morasco: He’s like a different animal!

Vasco Dias: I’m not sure he can stopped at this point.

{ Spike has a crazed look in his eyes as he looks over to the announcer’s table. He walks over and clears everything off of it. }

Vasco Dias: Time to move!

{ Spike throws up the ring apron and pulls out lighter fluid and a lighter. }

Vasco Dias: NO SPIKE DON’T!

{ Spike levels Vasco with a right hand and starts to pour the lighter fluid all over the table. }

Terri Morasco: My god…

{ Spike sets the announcer’s table on fire and turns back to Angel who hasn’t moved. He grabs him by the hair and pulls him up to his feet, Spike rips him off the ground and power bombs him straight through the flaming table!!! }

Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD!!!!

{ Angel rolls around as the ring crew try to put the fires out. }

Terri Morasco: This has gone too far. This is… It’s… My god!

{ Spike pushes the ring crew away as he grabs Angel and throws him into the cage wall, he drags his face down the wall and back to where the door was. Spike picks him up for another power bomb and throws Angel back first into the ring apron then stuffs his face into the mat as he rolls him into the ring. }

Terri Morasco: Spike Kane has completely lost control.

{ Spike stands over Angel now back inside the cage. }

Terri Morasco: Just pin him, end it!!!

{ Spike slaps Angel in the face a few times before pulling him to his feet. Spike picks him up into the air for the Spike Impaler! }

Terri Morasco: Thank god it’s over…

{ But Angel starts to drill Spike in the head with a knee until Spike doesn’t have a choice but to drop him. Angel kicks Spike in the gut and picks him up for Cable’s Last Gasp pile driver on the steel chair laying in the ring! }

Terri Morasco: Angel is fighting back!

{ Angel is slow to stand, he uses the ropes to do so. Spike is stunned but he starts to get up. }

Terri Morasco: This match could go either way!

{ Angel picks up the barbed wire bat and throws it at Spike but Spike catches it realizing too late that it’s covered in barbed wire and Angel drills the bat into his face with the GENOCIDE KICK!!!! }

Terri Morasco: GENOCIDE KICK!!!

{ The bat breaks over Spike’s head and cuts him open even more, he goes down and Angel falls down on top of him. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }

Alyson Valance: And your winner… ANGEL BLAKE!!!!

{ Both men just lay there as the referee raises Angel’s arm. Paramedics come running out from the back. }

Terri Morasco: It’s over… Angel won… But the cost may have been too high…

{ The cage is quickly raises as both men are being looked at. }

Terri Morasco: IWF has never and will never see a match like this again…

{ But Angel and Spike both start to stir. }

Terri Morasco: Oh god…

{ They both get back to their feet, bloody and cut up… }

Terri Morasco: The match is over!!!

{ They push the doctors and referees away and embrace in the middle of the ring!!! The fans start to clap and get a “Thank you” chant going. }

Terri Morasco: Thank god… The match is over and now their hugging… I guess deep down they do respect each other… For now.

{ Both men raises each others arms as the crowd cheers. }

SPECIAL TRON (CLICK HERE)

V.E.R.O.N.A

CORPORATE DEFENSE SYSTEM INITIALISING...

Female Scottish Voice: System Initialised. Engaging Man Of Steel Defense Protocol.

Female Scottish Voice: Man Of Steel Mark Nine Activated.

{ A small steel platform with The Ace standing on it is slowly raised from centre stage. He is wearing the Man Of Steel Championship around his waist and a scarlet and gold helmet and face plate, complete with matching pieces of chest armour and a bluish-white light inside the Diamond shaped arc-reactor in the centre of his chest.

After the crowd have taken a moment to absorb the spectacle of the entrance, they start booing as Commissioner Kathy Conway joins her husband by his side. The Ace turns his head to look at her as she is wearing a smart cream-coloured dress and her hair has been dyed red for the occasion.

She places one hand on her hip, flips her hair to the side and presents her husband in all his glory to the unhappy crowd.

She lifts the faceplate up and pecks him on the lips before a group of young female stagehands arrive and help the current reigning and defending Man Of Steel out of his multipiece Iron Champion armour. When he is out of it, another stagehand arrives and hands him a bottle of water as everything transitions to his normal theme and entrance video. }

Well I stand up next to a mountain...

Well I stand up next to a mountain...

{ The Ace takes a swig from the water bottle in his right hand and spits the water in the air. After this Kathy takes his hand as she leads him off the platform. He throws the bottle to one side. }

Well I pick up all the pieces, maybe even make, maybe there's a little sand...

Well I pick up all the pieces, maybe even make, maybe there's a little sand...

{ The couple walks down the ramp hand in hand. }

Well I stand up next to a mountain

And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

Well I stand up next to a mountain

And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

{ They share a longer kiss at the foot of the ramp before The Ace enters the ring himself, climbing the steel steps and getting the official to part the ropes for him as he steps through them. He walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing the second rope whist unbuckling the title from around his waist.

The Ace raises both arms and his Championship in the air, in one hand as the crowd boo but Kathy applauds from ringside. }

'Cause I'm a voodoo child, yeah

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child

'Cause I'm a voodoo child

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child

{ The Ace climbs down an he walks to the middle of the ring, and the song fades... }

{Rage Against the eMachine's "Bulls on Parade" begins to play as Jack Gaither walks out on stage with fiancee Fiona McFly--sans the usual fanfare that he normally recieves before a match. Jack has a stick in his hand, and the music immediately cuts off as he begins to speak.}

Jack Gaither: Ya know somethin' Jake, you ain't worthy enough to spend lots o' time listenin' to me ramble on about how I control the destiny of this Man of Steel title match! With that bein' said, before I come down there and whomp your sorry keister, I'm-a-gonna give you...no, ACTUALLY, the lovely Fifi is gonna announce the stipulation. So y'all had best watch and listen!

{Fiona takes the mike away from Jack and begins to speak over the roar of the crowd.}

Fiona McFly: Jake, my darling...I haven't forgotten about what you and your floozy over there did to us last week, and so after conversing with Jack, we figured that this would be the fairest solution to this little problem you've managed to find yourself in.

{The Badger alum eyes Kathleen Conway with a menacing stare before pointing directly at the Commissioner.}

Fiona McFly: Haven't you ever heard of the law of physics that says "for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction?" Here's the action: you laid your dirty, slimy little hands on me last week. Now...for the reaction.

{The crowd noise starts at a crescendo. The fans pop as an attendant steps out from backstage, handing Fiona a brand-new silver whip--longer than her original black whip--before heading back. The Irishwoman grins from ear to ear as Kat shakes her head.}

Vasco Dias: Uh-oh...

Fiona McFly: If Jack beats your husband--and I KNOW he will--then Kat, my darling, you shall spend five minutes in the steel cage with me...where I shall proceed to crack this whip on YOU!

{The fans at FedExField go APESHIT as Jack and Fiona head towards the cage!}
{The two men circle on another in the ring.}

Terri Morasco: There’s a lot of bad blood here Vasco.

Vasco Dias: Bad blood? How about jealousy on the part of Jack Gaither of The Ace?

Terri Morasco: I highly doubt that.

Vasco Dias: You doubt everything that I say.

{The two lock up in the center of the ring surrounded by the all too familiar steel cage. The two show off their wrestling skills as the engage in a little chain wrestling that results with the Ace locking in a headlock on his challenger. Gaither is quick to shove the champion into the ropes and takes him down with a blunt shoulder knock down that surprises the Ace a bit who rolls into the corner, but is careful not to use a rope break.}

Terri Morasco: I think Conway was a little surprised there.

Vasco Dias: That’s fine. Simple regroup here, that’s all.

{The two lock up again and The Ace is quick to hit a quick Arm Drag, and tries to lock in his version of the Anaconda Vice, the “Winner Takes All”. Gaither squirms out of the hold, and the two men are quick to their feet, quickly locking up again, with Conway going behind Gaither, and trying to lock in a Sleeper Hold, but Gaither backs him into the cage not once, but twice, causing the Ace to let go. Gaither turns and hits Ace with a back elbow that stuns the champion into the ropes, and upon return, Gaither leaps into the air and connects with a picture perfect Dropkick.}

Terri Morasco: Nice move by the challenger.

Vasco Dias: Work through this spurt Jake…you know what to do.

Terri Morasco: Bias?

Vasco Dias: I’m an impartial journalist woman!

{Gaither goes right back on the attack, grabbing the Ace by the head, clubbing him over the back, and snapping him up and over with a Snap Suplex into the center of the ring. Jack then lifts the Ace up and goes for the Bulldog that sets up the “Flashover”, but Ace shoves him into the ropes and swings the momentum in his favor with a Tilt-a-whirl Sideslam. Gaither writhes in pain as Jake just grins, Kathy clapping at ringside. Ace is up and grabs hold of Gaither’s leg, stomping away at it a series of three times before dropping an elbow right across the knee. Gaither winces in pain as the Ace furthers the damage, wrenching and twisting the knee in anyway shape or form, clearly softening it up for a submission.}

Vasco Dias: We know what he’s looking for.

Terri Morasco: Indeed. If Jack has to go on one leg…I don’t like his chances.

{Ace goes to lock in the Figure Four that he calls “Four Aces”, but as he spins for the spinning toe hold, Gaither plants his boot firmly on Jake’s behind and shoves him off…INTO THE CAGE! Conway bounces off face first, only to be grabbed by the hair and launched into the cage on the opposite side of the ring by the now rallying Gaither!}

Terri Morasco: Gaither taking his game to another level!

Vasco Dias: It won’t last.

{As Jack bounces Conway off a third side of the cage, Conway turns right into THE IRON CLAW!}

Terri Morasco: NEW CHAMPION!

Vasco Dias: NO! FIGHT JAKE!

{Ace tries to pull the claw off but fails to do so. After struggling he realizes just how close to the ropes he is and uses his first of two Rope Breaks!}

Vasco Dias: Oh, thank God!

Terri Morasco: He uses one of his rope breaks, which may tweak his strategy a bit.

{Gaither pulls him out of the ropes and goes to lock it in again, but Jake sidesteps and this time takes Gaither down and locks in a Sharpshooter as Jack screams in agony!}

Vasco Dias: That’s what I’m talking about Ace!

Terri Morasco: Now it looks like Gaither is the one in trouble, and the momentum has definitely turned again.

{Gaither is so close to the ropes. He pushes and claws and is mere fingertips away before Conway pulls him into the center of the ring and sits on the hold, sinking it in deep. Gaither screams again and starts scratching for the ropes again. He then contemplates tapping out, but shakes his head and starts desperately lunging and pushing toward the ropes until he finally breaks the hold with his first rope break!}

Terri Morasco: This is such a close match up. Both men have now used one of their rope breaks!

Vasco Dias: He was going to tap…coward.

{Conway is first to his feet as Gaither clamors at the ropes to bring himself up. Jake trips up Gaither again, and this time locks in the “Four Aces” Figure Four!}

Vasco Dias: Jake Conway showing his years of submission experience.

Terri Morasco: He has Gaither in the middle of the ring!

{Gaither fights and wriggles around in the hold before getting the urge to start turning it around. Ace fights but it’s to no avail as all the pressure is now on the legs of the champion! Conway screams while waving his hands at Kathy, who through the cage, slides in the Roulette Stick!}

Terri Morasco: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?

Vasco Dias: The equalizer!

{Ace grabs the stick with one hand, and the ropes with the other as Gaither is oblivious to it all. The referee makes him release the hold as the Ace lays on top of the stick. Gaither goes to pull Ace up and Ace takes a swing with the stick. Gaither must have seen it at some point and ducks, the stick bouncing off the top rope and narrowly missing the face of Conway who ducks out of the way. The stick goes flying as Gaither spins Ace around and hits him with the “The Screecher!” (Stunner). It was out of desperation and both men are now down on the mat as the referee starts his ten count and in the blink of an eye it seems, is up to FOUR!}

Vasco Dias: What happens via double count out?

Terri Morasco: I assume it’s a draw and The Ace would keep the belt.

{The referee continues counting and gets to six before Gaither starts to stir, the crowd urging him on.}

Terri Morasco: The cowboy’s in a good spot here.

Vasco Dias: The only spot that’s good is the winning one.

{Gaither crawls over and goes to grab hold of Conway who swings his legs around and is able to lock in the Trente et Quarante! (Lebell/Yes Lock). Gaither squirms but they are in the center of the ring and he has absolutely no leverage in this situation. He fights to the best of his ability, but in the end, as The Ace wrenches back on the hold, nearly bending Gaither all the way back, the proud Cowboy is forced to live to fight another day and taps out to the submission hold as the bell rings.}

Alison Valance: Here is your winner, and still the IWF Man of Steel Champion…JAKE…”THE ACE”…CONWAAAAY!!!

{Ace releases the hold as the cage door is opened. Kathy walks in with the title and hands it to her man who looks to be exhausted. Eventually he gets up and the two celebrate his victory.}

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



Last year Alex Jones walked out as the winner of the first ever Joker in the Pack match and went on to successfully cash in his contract for a shot at the Imperial Championship, defeating Mike Laszlo. This years match features one former Imperial champion, two former NCW World champions and a former IWF Invictus champion.

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

JOKER IN THE PACK
Roberto Verona vs Rob Diamond vs Mike Laszlo vs Death vs Warren Kidd vs Mohamed Al-Thani

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

Alison Valance: The following contest…is the JOKER IN THE PACK LADDER MATCH!

{The crowd goes insane as they know they’re in for an awesome match with the participants involved.}

Terri Morasco: This is one of the matches I’ve been looking forward to tonight.

Vasco Dias: Spotfest…great.

Alison Valance: Introducing first…

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

Alison Valance: Accompanied by Jebediah Crowe and the rest of The Apocalypse, weighing in at 310 pounds…DEATH!

Terri Morasco: This man is intimidating just looking at him.

Vasco Dias: The enforcer of The Apocalypse is ready to do Jebediah’s bidding.

Alison Valance: And now for the next participant…

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

Alison Valance: From London, England, weighing in at 205 pounds…WARREN KIDDD!!!

Terri Morasco: A young man looking to cement his name in the history of IWF.

Vasco Dias: He’s my dark horse pick.

Terri Morasco: Who’s your actual pick?

Vasco Dias: You’ll know when it happens.

Alison Valance: And now…

{The Qatari National Anthem begins to play as the crowd erupts in boos. Mohammed makes his way to the ring.}

Alison Valance: From Doha, Qatar, weighing in at 275 pounds…MOHAMMED AL-THANIIII!!!

Terri Morasco: This man used his financial assets to insert himself in this match.

Vasco Dias: Who cares how he got here. Can he climb that ladder and grab the briefcase is all that matters.

Alison Valance: And now…

{ The opening to Mama said knock you put by FFDP 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. }

Mama said Knock you out!
I'm gonna knock you out!
Mama said knock you out!
I'm gonna knock you out!

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

Alison Valance: From Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing 220 pounds…The Greatest of All Time…ROB DIAMOOOOND!!!

Terri Morasco: Now here’s a man who earned his spot into this match.

Vasco Dias: Barely.

Terri Morasco: Like you said, it doesn’t matter how.

Vasco Dias: I hate it when you turn my own words against me.

Alison Valance: And now, the fifth participant…

{"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system, Mike Laszlo walking out onto the stage to a negative reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who boo, a grin comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a confident walk, ignoring the outstretched hands of some fans along the isle.}

Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds…MIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO!!!

{ Mike rolls in under the bottom rope. He climbs the outside ropes to the top rope in the corner nearest the entrance ramp and poses for the crowd amassing a magnitude of booing. He jumps down and goes to the opposite corner and does the same, garnering the same reaction. With a sly grin on his face he jumps down and backs into the corner, clasping his hands together and twirling his wrists as he gets ready for the match.}

Terri Morasco: No Alexis Caffrey tonight. They were shown having a massive argument backstage to where she took the engagement ring and threw it in his face.

Vasco Dias: Who needs her? She obviously doesn’t have the best interest of her man at heart. Good riddance!

Terri Morasco: That’s harsh.

Vasco Dias: That’s reality.

Alison Valance: And now for the final participant…

Terri Morasco: Oh great.

Vasco Dias: THE BOSS MAN IS IN THE HOUSE!

{The lights in the arena all go out at "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps begins to blare out of the PA system. Spotlights begin to scan the crowd before fixating on a figure at the top of the stage which is revealed to be Roberto Verona, his head bowed towards the floor. As cheers being to resonate around the arena Verona raises his head and he begins a slow methodical march down the ramp, the spotlight following him as golden pyro rains down from above on the stage. Verona stares with disgust at the crowd who cheer him as he approaches the ring, but he doesn't react to them. As he reaches the steps he slowly ascends them before walking towards the middle of the ring apron, turning around to look into the crowd one last time before looking up and closing his eyes as he stretches his arms out wide and basks in the adulation. After indulging himself Verona climbs into the ring, psyching himself up as he awaits the beginning of the match.}

Alison Valance: From Chicago, Illinois, via Firenze, Italy, weighing in at 220 pounds…the COO of the IWF…ROBERTOOOO VEROOOONAAAA!!!

Terri Morasco: I don’t think he’s here for any other reason than to watch Rob Diamond fail.

Vasco Dias: Lies, Roberto is a competitor and he will stop at nothing to win this match.

{The six competitors in the ring circle around with Death now on the opposite side of The Apocalypse. The five other participants look at one another with Roberto in the middle, looking over his shoulder. That all share a cold glare before nodding to one another. The five men dive out of the ring and GO AFTER THE APOCALYPSE!}

Vasco Dias: What the hell?

Terri Morasco: The one advantage Death had was his group and the rest of the competitors look to take that out.

Vasco Dias: Smart.

{The five men hammer away at the Apocalypse on the outside as Death comes out to even the odds a little. The raucous is enjoyed by the audience as it doesn’t take long for ladders to get involved with Rob Diamond grabbing hold of one and taking out two members of the Apocalypse!}

Terri Morasco: This is a melee folks.

Vasco Dias: That had to hurt.

{As the rest of The Apocalypse is being dealt with on one end, Roberto and Mike have Death to themselves, slamming him front of the body first into another ladder that was set up. The ladder falls, as does Death. Mike walks over and kicks the ladder stabilizers, causing it to collapse flat. Roberto grabs Death and the two hook him up and Suplex him on top of the ladder. They then look to either side and pull the ladders along the walkway down on top of him, burying the big man in aluminum.}

Vasco Dias: Smart move by the boss and Laszlo. That should keep him down for a little bit.

Terri Morasco: LOOK OUT!

{Diamond slams Fury’s head into the announce table, sending him over toward the commentators who scatter away. Al-Thani throws Plague into the steps, dislodging them from their spot along the ring. War fights off Kidd who quickly retaliates with a hard back kick to the gut before dropping him with the WKO on a ladder!}

Terri Morasco: Are we back?

Vasco Dias: Yeah, this action is everywhere.

Terri Morasco: Indeed, and the competitors haven’t even taken care of each other yet.

{That all changes when Mike and Roberto come running around the corner and double clothesline an un-expecting Rob Diamond to the floor.}

Terri Morasco: Should have seen that coming.

Vasco Dias: They’re taking everyone else out, then they can renew that great rivalry from year’s past.

{The two continues to stomp away at Rob before Al-Thani comes in and grabs Roberto, slamming his head into the ring post. Laszlo comes to help but is met with a shot to the face that sends him staggering away as Al-Thani continues his attack on the COO.}

Terri Morasco: Looks like two of the guys with connections are going at it.

Vasco Dias: Laszlo isn’t helping.

Terri Morasco: He’s dealing with his own problems at the moment.

{With Rob, Mohammed, Mike, and Roberto busy on one side of the ring, and Death buried under some ladders on the other side, Warren looks around and grabs a ladder, sliding it into the ring, positioning it under the briefcase suspended high above the ring. He starts climbing and is half way up as Mike notices and slides in the ring and starts shaking the ladder. Warren is forced to grab hold to avoid falling as Mike lets go, runs to the ropes and smashes into the ladder, both his forearms hitting the aluminum, sending it tumbling down. Being only half way up, Warren is able to land on his feet, but as his second foot hits the mat, he can’t react in time as he’s hit with a Superkick right in the face.}

Terri Morasco: What a shot!

Vasco Dias: He may have knocked him out cold.

{Meanwhile on the outside, Al-Thani looks to continue his attack when Roberto drives him back first into the apron. Laszlo, in the ring, sets the ladder back up but is spun around and tattooed across the face by Rob Diamond and a right hand. Laszlo swings back and connects. The two continue the slugfest in the ring, the crowd cheering and booing as they hit one another. Down the walkway we see the ladders starting to move. The other members of the Apocalypse help remove the ladders from Death and help him to his feet. He pushes them off and slides into the ring. Mike and Rob turn, but both get leveled by a Double Clothesline. Death moves his big frame around and as Laszlo is getting to his feet, he nails him with a boot to the face that sends Laszlo down and rolling to the outside. Rob runs up from behind and clubs Death across the back, but it seemingly has no effect as Death swiftly spins and clobbers Rob with a Discus Clothesline that nearly turns Rob inside out.}

Vasco Dias: Holy cow, what a clothesline!

Terri Morasco: He nearly took his head off.

{Death sees the ladder and readjusts it under the ladder. He makes it up about three quarters of the way before Verona rolls into the ring…WITH A STEEL CHAIR! He takes one shot at the big man which stuns him. He reels back and cracks him one more time that causes him to stumble a few rungs down before Roberto sends the chair crashing against the back of Death’s head, smashing it between the chair and a rung on the ladder. Death falls back and Verona begins to wear him out with the chair. Jebediah instructs the other members of the Apocalypse to get involved, but as they slide into the ring, Verona is able to hold them off momentarily with the chair. Eventually though, the numbers are too great and the members of the Apocalypse take him down and beat him with kicks and stomps. Al-Thani comes into the ring with a Singapore Cane and starts whacking away at the backs of the non-match members.}

Vasco Dias: Is he stupid?

Terri Morasco: Well, we said it earlier, they’re going to have to get rid of these guys somehow. Otherwise, nobody else stands a chance.

{Warren grabs hold of the chair and adds into the melee, striking The Apocalypse in any which way or form. Mike flips up the apron skirt and reaches under, grabbing the pair of brass knuckles he used to bludgeon Rob Diamond a week earlier. He slides into the ring, and as Fury turns around, he’s blasted in the jaw…where the mask doesn’t protect, with the brass knuckles. He drops like a bad habit and isn’t moving.}

Terri Morasco: I think Laszlo just took out Fury!

Vasco Dias: One down, three to go!

{The competitors dispose of the interference once more as Al-Thani grabs hold of Death, and hits him with a huge Uppercut to the jaw that rocks him back into the ropes. Rob is back up and he goes for Verona, hitting him with a kick in the midsection before pushing him into the corner, giving him a crotch chop, and smacking the boss across the chest hard. Mike goes to come for the save, but Warren Kidd spins him around and punches him in the face that sends him rocking into the corner. Warren pummels Mike until he looks to be out of it.

Death has taken control of Al-Thani and thrown him through the ropes. As Kidd goes for the Kidd Kick on Laszlo, Death lunges forward and nearly cuts him in half with a devastating SPEAR!}

Terri Morasco: Holy crap!

Vasco Dias: He may have broken some ribs!

{Rob thrusts Verona through the ropes, disposing of another adversary. As he turns in the corner, Death slams all of his weight into the smaller man, before pulling him out of the corner and right into a Military Press before pushing him into the air and letting him fall flat on his abdomen. Rob clutches in pain as he rolls toward the ropes. Mike comes stumbling out of the corner, but manages to hit the big man with the brass knuckles in the mask that send him stumbling around before he levels Mike with another Discus Clothesline.}

Vasco Dias: Death is taking control even without the help of his brothers.

Terri Morasco: That clothesline certainly is devastating.

{Death gets up and turns into an attempted Clothesline from Verona. Death blocks it and grabs him by the throat, lifting him in the air for a Chokeslam, only to have Verona slip out behind him and sweeps his legs right out from under him with a Leg Sweep. Verona begins stomping away at the big man as Al-Thani moves into the ring from the outside. He grabs Verona around the waist and hits him with a German Suplex. Rob is up and swings wildly. Al-Thani ducks and Rob suffers the same fate as Verona. Kidd is slowly getting to his feet, but he has no time as Mohammed pulls him up and uses some brute strength to throw him over his head as well. Mike is back up and he goes to clothesline Al-Thani, but he ducks and goes to hit a Suplex, but Mike blocks it, hooking the leg. He elbows Al-Thani twice, and swings harder the third time, but Al-Thani ducks and pops his hips, throwing Mike over his head with a Belly to Belly Suplex!

The crowd starts chanting “SUPLEX CITY!” as Mohammed taunts them which in turn causes boos.}

Vasco Dias: Now he looks like he’s in control.

Terri Morasco: Everyone else is down.

{Mohammed grabs the ladder and positions it in the center of the ring before he starts to ascend toward the briefcase.}

Terri Morasco: Here’s his shot!

Vasco Dias: The boss is moving.

{Roberto crawls to the ladder as Mohammed is two thirds of the way up. He starts climbing and is within striking distance of his opponent as he reaches up to the case. Roberto throws his arm upward and hits Mohammed with a low blow that doubles him over the top of the ladder. Roberto climbs up a few more steps and hooks the arms of Mohammed before driving him down to the canvas with his version of the Crucifix Powerbomb, The Fallen Idol!}

Terri Morasco: Fallen Idol from the top of the ladder!

{A loud “OOOOOOOOH!” echoes throughout the arena as both men landed hard. On the outside, Laszlo is under the ring, and pulling out another ladder, setting it up between the barricade and the ring apron. Death is out there with him and charges him before Mike can drop down and take his knees out, sending him face first into the ladder with a nasty looking whiplash effect. Mike slowly crawls to his feet as Roberto and Kidd climb the ladder. The two of them reach on opposite sides, the top and start hammering at one another. They go back and forth as Rob gets to his feet. He takes hold of another ladder and charges the one that Warren and Roberto are on and slams his ladder into it. It starts to wobble and Rob does so again, this time continuing to push through until the ladder falls over and both men go crashing down. Roberto goes gut first across the top rope, Warren, crotch first, and both fall over the top rope and fall to the floor on the outside.}

Terri Morasco: Now Rob has a shot at the case. GO ROB! GO!

Vasco Dias: Well that’s bias.

{Rob throws his ladder out of the ring, and resets the ladder that Verona and Warren were atop. He starts climbing slowly as Laszlo climbs into the ring.}

Vasco Dias: GET UP THERE MIKE! STOP HIM!

{Mike climbs the ladder on the opposite side and the two meet at the top. Both starts swinging wildly as the ladder sways. Rob grabs Mike and slams him face first into the ladder. Mike stumbles as Rob reaches up. Mike punches Rob in the gut, then, holding the ladder, swings his leg up and kicks Rob in the side of the head. Both are woozy, each stopping the other from attempts at the case as Alexis Caffrey runs down to ringside.}

Vasco Dias: Oh crap, what is she doing here?

Terri Morasco: Who knows?

{Rob gets the better of Mike atop the ladder, and grabs him by the head, looking for a Diamond Cutter from the top of the ladder.}

Vasco Dias: DON’T DO THAT! YOU’LL KILL HIM!

Terri Morasco: That may be what has to be done in the mind of Rob Diamond.

{Rob sets it up as the crowd eggs him on until Alexis slides into the ring and climbs up the ladder, grabbing hold of Rob’s foot. She pleads with Rob as the crowd boos. She climbs a few more rungs up the ladder, begging Rob not to do it. The camera pans in and Rob can be heard yelling at Alexis.}

Rob Diamond: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY BITCH!?!?

{A loud “OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!” again goes through the crowd as Alexis’ eyes immediately narrow, and she tilts her head with the meanest of intentions before swinging her arm upward between the legs of Rob Diamond!}

Terri Morasco: WHAT THE HELL!?

Vasco Dias: Serves him right!

Terri Morasco: How do you figure!?

Vasco Dias: He called her crazy.

{Laszlo looks down at his fiancé who now has a smile on her face. Mike flashes an evil grin of his own before shoving Rob in the back OFF THE LADDER! Rob does a flip in mid-air and crashes through the ladder Mike setup on the outside, breaking it in half!}

The Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Vasco Dias: That’s what I’m talking about!

Terri Morasco: You’re sick! They may have killed that man.

{Rob is motionless on the outside as Mike perches himself atop the ladder, reaches up, and grabs the briefcase, the bell ringing and him laughing as the winner is announced.}

Alison Valance: Here is your winner of the Joker in the Pack Match…MIIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO!

{“Cult of Personality” blares throughout the stadium as Alexis climbs a few more rungs, celebrating with her fiancé atop the ladder as the crowd boos. EMTs are around the ring, checking on the other competitors as each took a hard fall toward the end of the match.}

Vasco Dias: MIKE LASZLO IS THE JOKER IN THE PACK WINNER!

Terri Morasco: Champion watch out. With this new attitude, this new brutality, that’s a dangerous man.

{The scene fades on Mike and Alexis atop the ladder as we get ready for the next match.}

{"Die Young" by Kesha hits as the crowd pops, Jess Reed makes her way to the ring in a referee shirt and jeans, she slides in the ring and steps in the corner waiting.}

Vasco Dias: This is total bullspit!

Terri Morasco: What do you mean?...

Vasco Dias: A match where Jess Reed is refereeing and you know she has a problem with Ana?...

Terri Morasco: Oh please...put your tin foil hat on....

{“Cult of Love” by Living Colour hits the sound system with a slow piano theme. The drums beat as "Cult of Personality" is mashed in just as Alexis and Mike walk out onto the stage. Mike steps back and lets Alexis pose for the cheering crowd as he claps along with them, urging on his girlfriend. Alexis heads to the ring followed by Mike as she is announced.}

Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 115 pounds, Alexis Caffreeeey!!!

{She gets to the ring and climbs up on the apron and into the ring. She heads to the corner opposite the entrance ramp as Mike climbs onto the apron to give her words of encouragement and further instruction.}

Terri Morasco: I expected boo's here....after all Alexis has done...

Vasco Dias: It's Ana Valentine, they'd cheer a hot dog....

{The lights lower and Sex metal barbie hits the speakers, Ana walks out onto the stage accompanied by Alex Jones. The crowd burst into a chorus of boos as he takes her by the hand and spins her on the spot, both smirk out at the crowd before walking down the ramp.

Ana jumps up onto the apron and unfastens the title from around her waist, thrusting it up into the air with a laugh as the crowds echo boos louder and louder, Ana hands the title off to Alex, before stepping into the ring... Baiting and winding up the crowd between stretches.}

Vasco Dias: Yeah!....let's go Ana...

Terri Morasco: You're supposed to be impartial...

Vasco Dias: I am...

Terri Morasco: You...you don't know what that word means do you?....

{Ana steps in the ring and before anything else can happen she rushes Alexis, she slams into her and stomps her down in the corner as the crowd boo's. Ana kicks Alexis out of the ring to the floor and follows leaving the Diamonds title in the ring as Mike and Alex stare awkwardly across the ring from one another. Ana grabs Alexis by the head and throws her backwards into the steel steps. Jess leans over from the ring and yells at Ana to stop and points to the ring bell.}

Terri Morasco: Jess reminding Ana she hasn't even rung the bell...

Vasco Dias: And Ana doesn't care...

{Ana laughs and flips Jess off pulling Alexis up by the hair and rolling her in. Jess calls for the bell and Ana goes about stomping Alexis down. She reaches down and pulls Alexis up by her hair before whipping her into the center and stepping forward with a low roundhouse to the back of Alexis who arches her back in pain. Jess talks to Ana giving her the basic refereeing instruction and Ana just laughs and dismisses her.}

Terri Morasco: Ana should reall listen to Jess...

Vasco Dias: HA!.....

{Ana pulls Alexis up and hits a snap suplex, she rolls her hips and pops up for another and then a third before kipping up to her feet taunting the crowd as they boo loudly. Ana just smiles and waves it off but this gives Alexis time to recover from the attack, she gets to her knees and as Ana comes in Alexis attacks with a few rights to Ana's midsection doubling her over, she grabs Ana's head and goes for a DDT, Ana grabs the top rope and Alex falls back, Jess yells at Ana for touching the ropes and Ana just shrugs her off

She steps back and as Alexis struggles to her feet Ana hits the fameasser she calls the cupids kiss. Ana goes for the pin 1.......2............Alexis kicks out.}

Vasco Dias: That seemed...questionable....

Terri Morasco: What?

{Ana shakes her head at Jess and she pulls Alexis up again whipping her into the ropes before hitting the Valentines bow spinebuster. Ana pins again 1.....2.....Alexis kicks out. Ana claps her hands three times and puts up three fingers. Jess just shakes her head and says "two". Ana turns and calls for Alexis to get up. As Alexis pulls herself up Ana goes for the complete shot, Alexis shoves Ana off and Ana slams on the mat, she gets up quickly though and Alexis hits a superkick sending Ana to the floor.}

Vasco Dias: Ana is down!...the champ is down!

Terri Morasco: But why isn't Alexis keeping the pressure on?....

{Alexis turns and talks to Jess, Jess turns her back on Ana having the c conversation, Ana starts to pull herself up when she's grabbed from behind and slammed into the barricade.}

Vasco Dias: What the hell?!?!?!?

Terri Morasco: That's Kayla Richards!

{Kayla starts stomping Ana down kicking her in the ribs as she lay on the floor outside the ring. Alex comes from around the corner and Kayla jumps back into the crowd and runs off as Alex checks on Ana, as he does Jess conveniently turns around to see him and yells at him. Alex yells back at Jess who just tells Ana to get back in the ring whilst smiling and re-affirming that she didn't see anything. Ana is able to get up holding her ribs as she slides in. Alexis attacks pulling Ana up into a diamond cutter with vicious efficiency}

Vasco Dias: Oh come on...this is highway robbery...

Terri Morasco: I prefer to call it..Karma... Ana has screwed how many people over?

{Alexis calls for the kiss goodnight, as she goes for the start Ana kicks her in the stomach and hits a savate kick sending Alexis down. Ana holds her ribs and calls for Alexis to get up again, as she goes in for the kill Ana holds the area where her steel plate is and roans, Alexis leaps up grabbing Ana's head hitting a kiss goodnight out of nowhere! she pins 1..2...3...Alexis wins!}

Vasco Dias: WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! THAT WAS EVEN MORE QUESTIONABLE?!?!?!

Terri Morasco: Says you! A three count is a three count Vasco.

{Cult of love hits and Alex slides from the ring with the Diamonds title, the crowd pops as Alexis holds it high. Mike hugs Alexis as they make their way up the ramp.}

Vasco Dias: This is just wrong...

Terri Morasco: Again....Karma...

{Ana gets to her feet and realizes what just happened, Alex tries to comfort her but Ana just looks up to see Jess Reed with an innocent little smile. Ana gets in Jess' face and yells, Jess just shakes her head and claps her hands three times before shrugging and breezing past and irate Ana Valentine who has to be held back by her husband Alex Jones. Jess rolls out of the ring and makes her way up the ramp as we enter a brief commercial break.}

SINGLES MATCH
Alex Jones (c) vs Renée Pleasant

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

Alison Valance: The following match is for the Imperial Championship and is our main event!

{The opening bar of I smell a massacre hits the speakers as red lights swirl around the crowd, before settling on Reñee Pleasant who stands in the middle of the stage, Amber Richards by his side, smirking at the crowd as a chorus of cheers rise up. 

Reñee shrugs and walks down the ramp with purpose, he jumps up onto the apron and holds down the middle rope for amber before he enters the ring through the top and middle ropes. He approaches the referee for a moment and towers over him with a laugh, before walking away, shaking his head still laughing as the music fades out.}

Vasco Dias: Two months ago Renee Pleasant was able to outlast and beat a sizable chunk of the IWF roster and win the roulette match to earn a shot at the Imperial championship...

Terri Morasco: And if you remember the last man to beat Alex Jones was Renee Pleasant....

Vasco Dias: These two spent months at each others throats....

Terri Morasco: And now here we are in the main event of the biggest show of the year...

{The entrance fills with red mist as two voices are heard over the PA.}

Justice, for my sister and her children

If you want justice you've come to the wrong place....

I disagree, I want to bring those who have wronged me to justice and all those who have wronged me are right here...

{Killswitch engage's "Loyalty" blasts over the PA as Alex Jones steps out onto the stage. His long two tone hair wet down his back and sides. He wears a black Alex Jones shirt and his wrestling gear. He holds the IWF Imperial Championship as he makes his way down to the ring with Ana Valentine by his side. They get down to the ring and Alex leaps up onto the apron before helping Ana, he opens the ropes for her before getting in himself.}

Terri Morasco: Love him or hate him Alex Jones has defended that belt he has been a champion and despite the tactics used he is still the champion...

Vasco Dias: And look at his list Terri, Laszlo twice Judas Aliah, Nighthawk, Jack Gaither,Roberto Verona not to mention his non title matches against the likes of Spike Kane....

Terri Morasco: What are you...his publicist?....

{The bell rings and Alex and Renee stare across the ring at one another. After a few moments it explodes and the two men go at it trading right hands. Renee gets the upper hand blocking a shot from Alex and hitting his own. Renee winds up for a large shot but Alex runs under it and hits the ropes, he leaps in the air and turns for a spinning heel kick, Renee moves to the side catches Alex and throws him straight up in the air, Alex turns and lands on his feet and as Renee comes forward Alex uses his speed again to duck under and land a few hard kicks to Renee's thigh and knee.}

Vasco Dias: Alex is trying to chop the big man down....

Terri Morasco: He needs to use his speed, if not Renee will use his power advantage with ease...

{Alex goes for a kick to Renee's chest, Renee catches Alex by the leg and picks him up before slamming Alex down, Alex holds his back and rolls around in pain, he gets to his feet and Renee measures him up running in for a big boot taking Alex down, Alex gets back to his feet and Renee hits him with a clothesline and another and another before Renee ducks down, picks Alex up and slams him again in a spinebuster.

Vasco Dias: Renee taking charge here...

Terri Morasco: Alex got caught Vasco
