"Gaither's Thoughts on Heir To The Throne"
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: To open tonight's show, we're going to get the thoughts of Jack Gaither on what it means to be this far along in the Heir to the Throne Tournament.
{We cut to tringside as Vasco Dias and Terri Morasco sit at the announce table.)
Terri Morasco: Alright my friends, the Heir to the Throne series will reach its conclusion with the final to determine who will face Renee Pleasant at Legacy. This past Friday, I traveled to Arlington, Texas for a personal sit-down interview with finalist Jack Gaither at his home—a place which he's maintained since childhood—and what you're about to see is a candid look into the mind of one of IWF's most colorful personalities.
{The image transitions to Jack Gaither's living room, where Terri Morasco and and the aforementioned North Texan are sitting on a black leather sofa together. An on-screen graphic reads “RECORDED AUGUST 7, 2015 – ARLINGTON, TX.”}
Terri Morasco: Jack, I must say that you've got quite a nice place.
Jack Gaither: Meh, it's what it is. I try to keep it halfway decent but it ain't perfect.
Terri Morasco: Welp...where should I begin? You signed with IWF late in 2014, and much like all of the other superstars you've had your fair share of ups and downs. Yet let's focus on the upside in your Imperial tenure: most eliminations in the 2015 Roulette match and a final four spot, and now you're in the Heir to the Throne final. What's been your secret to success in this series so far?
{Jack chuckles to himself.}
Jack Gaither: Ain't no secrets about bein' in this sumbitch to begin with. All I ever wanted to do was real simple: drink a damn Pepsi, chew bubblegum, spit tobacco, and whup some ass.
{Terri tries to keep a straight face yet she can't help but eke out a sly smirk.}
Terri Morasco: Jack, you are perhaps the most outspoken member of the IWF roster, and that's led you to some wild and wacky confrontations on Twitter. Do you enjoy your role as a certified “loudmouthed cowboy?”
Jack Gaither: Thing about the gig, Terri, is real simple: ya GOTTA find ways to entertain the masses and have a l'il fun at the same time. I love pissin' people off—it's my job, my nature, my lot in life—and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Terri Morasco: Do you feel like the Imperial roster misunderstands or misquotes you because of the role you play?
Jack Gaither: I couldn't give a rat's ass if the folks 'round here misunderstand me or not. The fact of the matter is real simple: I'm just playin' my part for the folks who sit there and watch me every single day, and if it takes me spewin' a few bombs at the other “superstars,” then so be it.
{Terri stretches her arms out as Jack pulls out a can of Pepsi from his mini-cooler.}
Jack Gaither: People can mislabel me as a loudmouth all they want to, but it won't matter. In the end, I gotta do what I gotta do so I can please God's children all over the free-thinkin' world.
{Terri nods her head as Jack opens up his soda.}
Terri Morasco: I know that this is gonna be a rather touchy subject for you, but last Monday...you had to watch your beloved fiancee Fiona McFly as she was hauled off to an insane asylum. Adding insult to injury, Ana Valentine—a Hall of Famer—suggested that you only cared about yourself and not Fiona throughout this whole—
Jack Gaither: (interrupting) And this is where I'm gonna stop ya, darlin'. Ana Valentine is nothin' more than a jealous and whiny l'il slut who only wants to watch her l'il boy toy Alex Jones cry like a l'il baby after not bein' invited to the very series I'm in, and their stupid l'il war against the suits is givin' 'em both checks their bodies ain't gonna cash. There's a god-DAMN good reason why Fiona and I wanna seperate our wrasslin' lives from our private life together, and it's real simple: we're both grown human bein's doin' what we wanna do for the planet as part of our job, but bein' together in-ring and off-screen will only upset our balance. As far as I'm concerned, Ana Valentine can't handle bein' alone, so she's gotta bed-hop the entire male locker room or be on someone's keister as a mouthpiece—and that's all I'm gonna say 'bout that.
{Terri ekes out a slight chuckle.}
Terri Morasco: OK, last thing: Malaki Toala or Alex Atwater awaits you in the Heir to the Throne final. Who would you prefer to face?
Jack Gaither: I don't give a DAMN who I'm fightin' out there. Toala, Atwater, or Barack Obama—I don't give a shit 'cuz I'm gonna do what I love doin' best: drinkin' a damn soda and stompin' out some guts. This I promise y'all: to all the crybabies and power-hungry sumbitches out there, I'm gonna be the one who's risen above all the rest—and there ain't a goddamn thing y'all can do about that.

SINGLES MATCH
Rob Diamond vs Jack Gaither
----------------------------------------------------------
Are you ready??
{ Jekyll and Hyde by FFDP hits the pa as the lights start to strobe pink. Rob Diamond slowly struts out onto the ramp as the crowd pops huge for him, he smiles and looks around the arena and slowly raises his arms over his head. Just as Jekyll and Hyde kicks into high gear he brings his arms down in an epic crotch chop as pink pyro explodes in an X behind him. He bgins his march down the ramp slapping hands with fans holding signs for him and wearing his awesome t-shirts. He points here and there making certain women feel special and wet in their pants as he gets to the ring and rolls in under the bottom rope. }
Alyson Valance: Introducing to the ring at this time, weighing in at two hundred and four pounds, he is THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME! The King of Diamonds, The Xtreme American Dream, The Bloody Cinderella, The one and only, the Alpha and Omega, The beginning and the end, The baddest mama jama in the multiverse, You can't believe there's none better, Better than Butter, The Mad Titan, The Dark Lord of the Sith... THE INFAMOUS ROB DIAMOND!!!!!
{ Rob stands in the middle of the ring and asks the crowd for silence, he takes a mic as the crowd dies down and so does his music... }
Rob Diamond: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and single ladies of ALL AGES!!!!!..... LETS GET READY TO SUCK IT!!!!!!!
{ He tosses the mic and hits one final crotch chop as the crowd goes nuts. }
Vasco Dias: Rob Diamond's got more ego in him than Tom Brady; he truly is the William Shatner of IWF!
Terri Morasco: William Shatner?! C'mon, man!
{Rage Against the Machine's “Bulls on Parade” begins to play, but there's no sign of Jack Gaither anywhere!}
Terri Morasco: Uh-oh...where's Jack?
Vasco Dias: Don't tell me he's goin' to the loony bin as well...
Terri Morasco: Vasco...that subject is one we DON'T wanna get into anymore, okay?
Vasco Dias: Whoa...what's goin' on now?
{The music stops as several people dressed as Jack Gaither hop over the barricade from the crowd and into the ring. Rob Diamond is confused, he doesn't know which one is the real deal!}
Vaso Dias: There's gotta be at least five Jack Gaither lookalikes...
Terri Morasco: WRONG! There's more of them comin' down the ramp!
{Indeed, a second group of five Jack Gaither lookalkes head down from backstage and surround the ring! A third group is seen crawling out from underneath the ring as Rob Diamond wonders what the hell is going on!}
Terri Morasco: I don't believe this—it's a Gaither Army!
Vasco Dias: Fifteen Jack Gaithers?! I never thought I'd see the day...
{Rob Diamond decides that he's had enough of this shit and starts chucking imposters out of the ring! One by one, each Gaither “clone” is either tossed over the top rope or given a Cutter and kicked off! Eventually, the last imposter is given a Diamond Cutter is well, but as Rob flexes his muscles, the “imposter” kips up to his feet and strips off his mask—revealing the REAL Jack Gaither to the delighted Monterrey fanbase!}
Vasco Dias: WHOOOOAAAA!!!!
Terri Morasco: That's the DAMNDEST thing I've ever seen!
Vasco Dias: I may not like Jack Gaither...but AMEN to that.
[DING!]
{The referee calls for the bell as Rob Diamond continues to play to the crowd, unaware of Gaither's presence! Jack sneaks up from behind and gives his opponent two taps on the left shoulder; Diamond's shit-eating grin fizzles out as he can only muster a large gulp. He turns around, and Jack meets him head-on with a series of hard rights and lefts that back the ex-tag champ to the ropes! Jack sends Rob for the ride; the native West Hatfortdian bounces off the strands and into a standing dropkick. The native Texan follows that up with a second dropkick and a third for the trifecta; eventually, Gaither takes his opponent down with a standing hip toss, holding onto the left arm and transitioning into a simple armbar.}
Terri Morasco: Jack Gaither wanted to get into Rob Diamond's mind!
Vasco Dias: I think he did just that...
{The ref checks to see if Diamond wants to quit, but he shakes his head “no” as the pressure on the hold tightens. Jack's got the armbar locked in tight as he goes to the ground, but Rob pulls himself back to somewhat of a vertical base in order to forcefully break the move. Instinctively, Jack kicks the former longtime tag champion in the ribs before sending him to the deck with a vertical suplex—followed by a second and then another trifecta, transitioning the third suplex into an arcing bridge!}
1...!
2...!!
NOPE!!!
{The two men eventually wind up into a Mexican standoff as the split audience cheers. Rob charges forward—and eats a deep armdrag takedown and then a second! Eventually, Jack lifts his opponent high above his head; before he can react, the Hartfordian is sleekly sent to the mat via a crucifix pin!}
1...!
2...!!
KICKOUT!!!
{Jack stands up and shakes his head; he goes after Diamond again, only to be kicked in the nuts!}
Terri Morasco: Ow!
Vasco Dias: BALLBREAKER!!
{Whatever mind games Gaither was playing at the start, Rob Diamond's had enough and doesn't give his opponent time to protect his family jewels! Gaither is unceremoniously taken to the deck, courtesy of a trfecta of suplexes—first a snap variety, then a basic vertical, followed by a German suplex that Rob transitions into a pin!}
1...!
2...!!
NO!!!
{Rob goes back on the offensive, taking his opponent to the mat with a sharp-looking DDT before heading up to the top rope! The fans cheer as Rob connects with a senton splash before following up with a standing legdrop and going for the pin!}
1...!
2...!!
KICKOUT!!!
Terri Morasco: Quick moves by Diamond!
Vasco Dias: The faster this thing gets, the more I wanna puke—it's like a scary roller-coaster!
{Diamond places Jack back to a vertical position before sending him for the ride; the North Texan bounces off the ropes and into a spinebuster! Diamond signals for the end and heads up to the top rope; he takes a few moments to play to the crowd before flying off the top buckle in an attempt to execute a frog splash—only to receive a pair of knees as an early Christmas present! Jack slowly pulls himself back to his feet in the corner and tells his opponent “C'MON, BUD—COME AN' GET YER ASS WHUPPIN'!” Diamond charges at Jack and winds up on the wrong end of a spinebuster himself; Gaither heads up to the top rope and gets into his trademark praying mantis position!}
Vasco Dias: Hoo-boy, Jackie's gonna fly!
Terri Morasco: Mantis Kick comin' up!
{Jack flies off the top rope for his one-legged kick maneuver, only to have Diamond get out of the way just in the nick of time! The Connecticut native decides to end things once and fall with his patented DIAMOND CUTTER, but instead Jack squirms out of the move! Rob charges forward and into a waiting SCREECHER...yet somehow, Diamond squirms out of the maneuver! Eventually, Jack's lone moment of hesitation costs him as he's turned sideways via a DIAMOND CUTTER; Rob goes for the pin!}
1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
[DING-DING-DING!!!]
{Regardless of allegiance, the 50-50 crowd cheers as “Jeckyll and Hyde” plays once again! In an act of good sportsmanship, Rob gives the defeated Jack a pat on the shoulder before making his exit, doing his usual crotch chops after hopping back into the crowd!}
Vasco Dias: I gotta admit, that was a fun match to watch.
Terri Morasco: And regardless of who won or lost...Monterrey ate it all up!

"Climbing Mount Everest"
----------------------------------------------------------
{We cut backstage where Maria Iniesta stands alone in the interview area.}
Maria Iniesta: Please welcome my guest at this time, former IWF Ruby Champion, Mercedes Vargas.
{The camera moves slightly as Mercedes enters the shot and stands next to Maria on the right, a nondescript expression on her face, as she waits patiently for Maria's questions to begin.}
Maria Iniesta: Mercedes, along with Amber Richards, you made history when you qualified for the Heiress to the Throne for the second consecutive year and made it to the semifinals. There was little doubt that you had your work cut out for you against Eternity. Despite your best efforts, your hopes of returning to the finals came to an end last week in Guadalajara. How are you feeling right now?
Mercedes Vargas: Well, it's like you said, Maria, I came this close to becoming the first Diamond to make back to back appearances in the HT3 Finals and I just couldn't close the deal, so I would imagine not feeling very good about it. What else can I say? Most ordinary people celebrate victories climbing the smallest hill. I took on Mount Everest. I didn't quite make it to the top, but I gave it my best shot, I walked away from Sacrifice as best I could with my head held high and I'm just going to make the best of it.
Maria Iniesta: So after your exit from the tournament, what's next for Mercedes Vargas?
Mercedes Vargas: “What's next for Mercedes Vargas?”
{Mercedes pauses to consider the question. A small sigh escapes her lips and she slowly shakes her head.}
Mercedes Vargas: No idea. I don't know what the future holds for me. I think I had a great run in the tournament. It wasn't the result I wanted, but I'll have even more incentive to return next year. In the mean time, I guess I'll be enjoying the rest of this month in Mexico and the six weeks left on the international tour. In my mind, it doesn't matter who holds the Diamonds Championship after Legacy, I'll always be in the running for a title shot and I'm damn sure not going to give up, not now, not ever, so I'm going to work hard until my next opportunity comes for that. Every mountain is within reach, I just have to keep climbing.
Maria Iniesta: Speaking of Legacy, we'll find out who will be challenging Alexis Caffrey in a little less than two weeks for her Diamonds Championship, but tonight's second semifinal match between Eliza and Amber Richards will go a long way in determining who faces Eternity in the number one contender's match on Sacrifice right here next week. Now, Mercedes, you've faced both Eliza and Amber in the past. Do you have a preference on who you would like to see win tonight?
Mercedes Vargas: I don't have a preference, really. At the end of the day, no matter how they feel about me, they got here this far and I think that Amber and Eliza both have an equal chance of walking out of Monterrey with the win, so I guess we'll see how it goes. It's going to be a great match.
Maria Iniesta: Mercedes, thanks for your time.
Mercedes Vargas: Thank you.
{Mercedes takes her leave as Maria looks on for a few seconds before turning back to the camera.}
Maria Iniesta: Well, there you have it. There's now only one returning finalist from last year's Heiress to the Throne. Will Amber Richards, the defending Heiress to the Throne winner, make history tonight and return to this year's final or will we see Eliza earn the opportunity? Back to you Vasco and Terri.

”Challenge Accepted.”
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Last week Rob Diamond laid down a challenge to Mike Laszlo for a Cell match at Legacy.
Terri Morasco: But Mike refused to accept last week, deciding instead to take a week to think it over.
Vasco Dias: I can’t imagine what he has to think over, Rob Diamond laid out Mike’s wife, Alexis at Lineage with a Diamond Cutter.
Terri Morasco: Probably just playing mind games with Rob Diamond.
Vasco Dias: I don’t think Rob has enough of a mind to play with like that.
Are you ready??

{ Rob stands in the middle of the ring and asks the crowd for silence, he takes a mic as the crowd dies down and so does his music... }
Rob Diamond: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and single ladies of ALL AGES!!!!!..... LETS GET READY TO SUCK IT!!!!!!!
{ The crowd is going absolutely crazy for Rob Diamond as he paces back and forth in the center of the ring, his music dying down. }
Vasco Dias: Well Rob is here… Let’s see what he has to say.
Rob Diamond: Mike “I married a twelve year old boy” Laszlo!!! Get your ass out here right now!
{ Rob doesn’t have to wait long as "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system, Mike Laszlo walking out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, 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, Alexis by his side holding his other hand. The two get to the end of the ramp before Mike asks Alexis to wait on the outside, keeping a safe distance from Rob Diamond. Laszlo jumps up onto the apron and climbs into the ring. }
Vasco Dias: Looks like Mike is having Alexis wait on the outside.
Terri Morasco: Probably a smart move.
{ Mike and Rob lock eyes as the two men stand in the center of the ring, Mike reaches into his back pocket and slowly pulls out a microphone. }
Mike Laszlo: So what, you think you can come back to IWF win a match or two and call out the face of the franchise? Rob, I’m above you now, I’m your peer. You’re just another so called legend trying to regain what was never his to begin with. Tell me why should I give you the privilege of facing me?
{ Rob smirks at Mike. }
Rob Diamond: I don’t know, why don’t we ask Alexis.
{ Rob looks past Mike to Alexis who is standing on the outside looking extremely pissed off. }
Rob Diamond: How’s your neck bae?
{ Laszlo quickly pushes Rob back and gets him to focus on him again. }
Mike Laszlo: You don’t talk to her!
Rob Diamond: Then maybe you should do something about it, unless you’re a coward?
Mike Laszlo: I’m not a coward, I was just trying to give you a fair chance to tuck tail and get the hell out of my company before something bad happens to you.
Rob Diamond: You know, if some handsome SOB Diamond Cut my wife I’d of slit his throat by now and yet here you are, talking… About nothing… Like always… Are we facing at Legacy or do I need to get InFamous… On her ass!
{ Rob points at Alexis but Mike is quick to swat his hand away. }
Mike Laszlo: You want a Cell match!? You’ve got a Cell match but trust me Rob… You’re going to regret it.
Rob Diamond: Yeah, I don’t think so.
{ Rob suddenly hauls off and looks for a kick to the balls but his shin collides with something hard in between Mike’s legs, Laszlo smiles and quickly hits Rob in the head with the microphone and Diamond drops. Rob tries to get up quickly but Mike is on him before he can do anything and drops him with Malicious Intent! }
Vasco Dias: Oh my god!? How’d he take that nut shot!?
{ Laszlo stuffs his hands into his pants and pulls out a metal cup. }
Vasco Dias: Ingenious!
Terri Morasco: He saw that nut shot coming a mile away.
{ Alexis joins Mike in the ring as Mike mockingly crotch chops Diamond who is laid out on the mat. }
Vasco Dias: Laszlo accepts the challenge to a Cell match and sends Rob a serious message.
Terri Morasco: Could the infamous one be in over his head?
Vasco Dias: He just may be.
{ Laszlo and Alexis leave the ring as Cult of Personality plays, Diamond slowly coming to as Mike grins arrogantly. }

SINGLE MATCH
Guernica vs Mohamed Al-Thani
----------------------------------------------------------
{As 'Lord Of The Land' by Kevin McLeod hits, Guernica appears on the top of the stage, looking down. He looks up and lets his cape drop, before skipping shallowly down to the ring, slapping the hands of fans who are desperately leaning over the high-five the fan favourite. The Gladiator Of Lucha Libre enters the ring, climbs to the top turnbuckle, and raises his arms to the sky and then to his side, before jumping down to the ring}
Vasco Dias: The luchadore known as guernica has been showing us his heart and soul..but tonight he faces the Invictus champion!
Terri Morasco: We should never count this kid out Vasco...
{Manager will announce entrance and wrestler will show up in initial expensive automobiles or in other ways to antagonize the audience}
Terri Morasco: Al thani was able to walk out with the Invictus title last week after defeating long time champion Aaron Owens...
Vasco Dias: But Mohammed has to watch out cause not only is Owens still in the hunt Alexander Atwater is still the number one contender..
{The bell rings and guernica moves around Al thani who cracks his knuckles with a grin. The 6'6 Invictus champion hands his belt to a ringside attendant and laughs at guerinca's size. Al thani steps up and looks down at his opponent before pie facing him back. guernica hits a few low kicks to Al thani's knee, Al thani steps sideways as guernica lays them in, he then hits the ropes and al thani catches him the throws guernica in the air for a powerbomb but as he catches him guernica hits a hurricanrana sending al thani out and under the bottom rope.
guernica hits the ropes and leaps over the top rope with a sumersault plancha down onto al thani. The crowd goes nuts as guernica pops up and slides back in the ring before rolling forward and popping up onto his feet. Al thani pulls himself up outside the ring and is seething.}
Vasco Dias: Al thani does not look happy...
Terri Moasco: That's because guernica is fast and amazing and Al thani better not look past him
{Al thani gets onto the ring apron and the referee tells him to vet in the ring meanwhile Al thani's manager grabs guernica's leg causing him to spin around.

Vasco Dias: I hate that high flying crap....
Terri Morasco: But he does it so well!
{Al thani gets to his feet looking out of it and guernica runs at Al thani but al thani pops him up and hits a european uppercut. Al thani steps around guernica who is down and hurt. Al thani grabs guernica by the mask and pulls him up before hitting a tiger powerbomb to a pin 1.....2....guernica kicks out.}
Vasco Dias: There we go....Al thani in charge!
{Al thani calls for the wrath of sharia. He pulls guernica up and guernica kicks his legs and lands behind al thani, al thani turns around right into a superkick!, guernica gets onto the apron and climbs to the top rope hitting the dive! he pins 1....2.....3}

"To Eternity And Beyond"
----------------------------------------------------------
Tiffany Jones looks unsettled as she walks around in the bowels of the arena guided by the familiar voice of her nightmares. The voice of Eternity.
Eternity: Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it's gone right to my head
Wherever I may roam
Whether land or sea or home
You can always hear me singing this song
Show me the way to go ho-oh-me....hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Her childish laughter reverberates in the darkness all around Tiffany and she stops, her eyes darting around frantically, trying to make sense of it all.
Tiffany: Heh-hello? Eternity? Are you there?
Eternity: Some people like to think so, others not so much. The lights are on they say, but nobody's home and nobody's home because they're all dead!
Tiffany: Wh-where are you?
Eternity: I am where I have always been, right here...waiting...
Tiffany: No, I mean where are you now? I'm trying to find you...
Eternity: Oh, that's easy, I'm not very far away at all now, no, I'm almost there in fact, I'm in the finals of the tournament...Mommy would be so proud of me, wouldn't she? WOULDN'T SHE?!
The sudden shift in tone told Tiffany that Eternity was demanding answers from her. Answers she didn't have, but to placate the notoriously unstable Diamond, Tiffany gave her the answer she thought Eternity most needed to hear.
Tiffany: Yes, yes, Mommy would be very proud of you, her little girl....
Eternity: Of course. Of course, she would. She would be proud of me as for coming so far and doing so well, all on my own. Even in spite of everything that's happened, all the crap that has been thrown at me, I've made it, I've made it this far...again...like mother like daughter. My Mommy is proud of me and I am proud of my baby Lexi...and so the circles of life continue.
Tiffany: Congratulations on making it to the Heiress to the Throne finals, who would you like to face next week, you know, if you had a choice?
Eternity: But I've never had a choice, in any of this. Somebody always chooses for me. First it was Mommy, then it was Daddy, then it was Aunt Mary and occassionally it was Uncle Harry, but most of the time it was the doctors or the nurses or the orderlies or the psychologists or the psychiatrists...
Tiffany: Okay, let me rephrase. Who do you want to face in the finals? Amber or Eliza?
Eternity: Asking me that is like asking me to choose between red apples and green apples, if all you want is a damn apple to satisfy your hunger, the colour shouldn't matter. Besides, I prefer coconuts....
Tiffany: Coconuts?
Eternity: Oh yes...I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts..dididididee
There they are a-standing in a row...didididee...
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head...
Give them a twist, a flick of the wrist, that's what the showman said...
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...dididilee...
Suddenly a coconut rolls along the ground, coming out of the shadows at some speed as it hits Tiffany in the back of her legs. Tiffany struggles to keep her balance.
Eternity: Every ball you throw will make me rich...didididee
Another coconut comes at Tiffany. She stumbles.
Eternity: There stands me daughter...
But not the one I will slaughter...
Singing roll a, bowl a ball, a penny a pitch...
Singing roll a, bowl a ball, a penny a pitch...
Roll a, bowl a ball...
Roll a. bowl a ball...
Singing roll a, bowl a ball, a penny a pitch....
A third. followed swiftly by a fourth coconut hits Tiffany and this time she goes down, landing on her backside. Eternity comes skipping out of the shadows, behind Tiffany. Arms raised in triumph.
Eternity: STIIIIIRRRRRIIIIIKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEE!
Eternity hovers over a fallen and confused Tiffany.
Eternity: And she's been bowling a perfect game so far Terri, but will her luck continue? Only time will tell. I've never had all of the answers, so I've just changed the questions...
Eternity squats down over Tiffany and yanks her head up by her hair, staring into her soul.
Eternity: Good luck on passing those all important finals now girls.....huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Eternity shakes her head and gets up, leaving a dazed and frightened Tiffany laying among the coconuts whilst she skips nonchalantly back into the darkness from where she came, whistling "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" as she goes.

Jake "The Ace" Conway, Mike Laszlo & Alexis Caffrey vs Alex Jones, Aaron Owens & Alexis Caffrey
----------------------------------------------------------
{"Voodoo Child" by Brick and Mortar hits and Jake "The Ace" Conway leads Katherine Conway out with Alexis Caffery and Mike Laszlo behind, they make their way down to the ring and Ace and Mike open the ropes for the ladies as the music fades.}
Vasco Dias: A show of solidarity from Ace, Alexis and Mike...
Terri Morasco: Aka Team corporate asskissers?...
Vasco Dias: That is slander!
{"Body Count anthem" by Body count hits as Alex, Ana and Aaron all make their way out wearing the new Body Count t-shirt, they slide on the apron and Alex and Aaron hold the ropes for Ana.}
Terri Morasco: This should be good Vasco...
Vasco Dias: Verona's friends shouldn't have to deal with this...
Terri Morasco: "Friends"
{Ana and Alex get on to the ring apron and Aaron bounces up and down. Laszlo and Alexis do the same and Ace just shakes his head and laughs. The bell rings and Aaron attacks Ace quickly. Ace grabs the smaller grappler and lays in a hard side knee before lifting Aaron up with ease in a vertical suplex slamming Aaron down hard. Ace simply gets to his feet and walks around Aaron. Alex yells at Aaron to get up as Ace stalks him, Aaron vets to his feet and Ace runs in hitting the jumping knee. Owens goes down and Ace hits the ropes and leaps in the air dropping a knee on Owens before rolling forward.
Ace tags in Mike Laszlo who steps into the ring with a grin, he grabs owens from behind and hits a german suplex releasing Owens so he lands on the back of his head. Laszlo goes for the superkick, Owens ducks and hits the ropes, as he comes back he hits a step up enziguri. Laszlo goes down to one knee, Owens hits the ropes and hits a sprinting one leg clothesline. Laszlo is down and so is Owens as he struggles after all the damage he took.}
Vasco Dias: Owens is still hurt but he was able to get a flurry of offence.
Terri Morasco: Now he needs to make a tag...

{Bad reputation - Blacklisted Me hits the speakers and Eliza walks out onto the stage. She pauses and stares out over the crowd with a blank expression before shrugging and walking down the ramp. She again pauses at the steel steps to survey the booing crowds before she climbs the steps and slips through the ropes, bouncing off to one side, rolling her shoulder back to warm up as she awaits her opponent.}
Terri Morasco: This girl has been on an absolute tear here in the IWF.
Vasco Dias: She’s been kicking the butts of many of the Diamonds and now has a shot to take it to the next level right here tonight.
Alison Valance: And her opponent…
{"Heavier than heaven" by Cold driven blasts on the PA system, the lyrics rolling out. As the song explodes after the first verse Amber makes her way out her black hair flowing down as she throws her head back and lets out a laugh. Amber makes her way down to the ring, she runs and slides on her knee across the apron before resting her body against the ropes as the music fades out.}
Terri Morasco: Here’s Amber Richards, trying to get back to her spot atop the division.
Vasco Dias: Same old, Same old…I want new blood to liven things up.
{The two girls circle the ring, a grin on each of their faces as they size each other up before locking up in the center of the ring in a collar and elbow tie up. They wrestle back and forth before Amber with her weight advantage turns the younger Eliza back into the corner. The two smile again at one another and lock up again, this time the more experienced Amber, going behind Eliza and taking her down to the mat before locking her in a Side Headlock.

SINGLES MATCH
Renee Pleasant vs Andrew Jacobsen
----------------------------------------------------------
{The drumbeat of "When the Levee Breaks" begins echoing through the arena, and a raspy harmonica heralds Andrew Jacobsen as he walks onto the stage. Andrew adjusts his gloves, eyes zeroed in on the ring, and walks with purpose down the ramp, ignoring the crowd as he walks. He picks up a burst of speed as he leaves the ramp to leap up onto the apron. Andrew kneels on the apron, hanging onto the middle rope with one hand as he turns to look back at the ramp. He closes his eyes, taking a deep breath, and stands up, stepping between the ropes. Andrew walks to a corner, slumping slightly against the ropes, and stares ahead, eyes practically tunneling through the turnbuckle as he waits for the bell.}
Vasco Dias: Here comes Andrew Jacobsen, and as we saw last week, he’s made some new friends.
Terri Morasco: Last week, we saw the formation of Body Count, and one of their most prominent members is on his way to the ring.
{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: And the Imperial Champion is coming to the ring and he looks ready for battle.
Terri Morasco: We’ll see if the champ can take down Jacobsen, or if Body Count’s technician can take the Imperial Champion to the limit.
{The match kicks off with Jacobsen and Pleasant meeting in the center of the ring. The two men tie up, and Jacobsen flips Pleasant’s arm off of him and gets him and twists it into an arm wrench.
