MATCH
Eliza vs Amber Richards
----------------------------------------------------------
{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.}{"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}{As the music dies down Eliza attacks Amber right away before the bell is rung, she stomps Amber town over and over as Amber tries to protect herself. Eliza grabs the top rope for stability and just goes to town, but since Amber is in the ropes the referee counts to four and then tells Eliza to step back.

”Nothing Personal”

Vasco Dias (to his headphone): What really?
Terri Morasco: What's going down?
Vasco Dias: Can we get a camera backstage now!!!
{The camera cuts to a furious DaMarius Thomas roaring at the mouth in the car park as road agents try to separate him from someone he has attacked.}Terri Morasco: What the?
{The camera goes down to reveal Nighthawk! Hawk is holding his ribs and trying to pick up some teeth at the same time. Suddenly a very small dressed man appears in the shot, Barking orders at Thomas.}Vasco Dias: Who the hell is that?
{The little guy does enough for Thomas yo barge through the road agents and lift up the injured Nighthawk with one hand! He drags him a little bit closer to him.
AND CHOKESLAMS HIM THROUGH A CAR WINDSHIELD!}Vasco Dias: Oh Jesus!!
{Nighthawk is out while the little guy orders Thomas to stand down, to which after a few times trying, he eventually does. He slaps Thomas hard on the rins before looking straight at the black death.}Male: You see!! That is how to use your anger! THAT is what master wants!!
{The pair leave out of focus of the camera shot as medics see to Nighthawk.}Terri Morasco: Who the hell is that with DaMarius Thomas?
Vasco Dias: And who is this master?

IWF SHIELDMAIDEN TITLE MATCH
Esperanza Serranto vs Kayla Richards (C)
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the IWF Shieldmaiden’s championship! Coming to the ring first…
{"Damage" by Krizz Kaliko starts to play, as Esperanza comes dancing out onto the ramp. She runs to each end of the stage, throwing her hands in the air and pumping up the crowd.}Alison Valance: Now coming to the ring, the challenger. Hailing from Compton, California, she stands five feet, six inches tall, and weighs in tonight at one hundred and thirty pounds. Ladies and gentlemen, Esperanza Serranto!
{Esperanza comes back to the middle, and points to the ring, before walking toward it. She slaps hands with some fans on her way down, stopping when she sees a young girl in the front row. With a grin, she whispers something in her ear, and sets her Raiders cap on top of the girls head. Esperanza then slides into the ring, and pops to her feet with both hands in the air. She hops up on the second rope and gets the crowd hyped some more before dropping back down to the mat.}Alison Valance: And her opponent…
{"Vice grip" by parkway drive blares out as Kayla Richards emerges from the back.} Alison Valance: Now coming to the ring… she hails from Norwich, England. She stands five feet, five inches tall, and weighs in tonight at one hundred and twenty six pounds. Ladies and gentlemen, your Shieldmaiden’s champion… Kayla Richards!
{She stands at the entrance and looks around at the fans shaking her head. She makes her way down to the ring lifting the IWF shieldmaiden title belt over her head before running and sliding under the bottom rope, she gets onto the second rope and shakes her hair around to the music, she turns and nod's at Eliza who stands at ringside. The music dies, and the ref gives the competitors a quick reading of the rules, before checking them for weapons.}Terri Morasco: I’m not really sure what to expect from this match. Kayla Richards is the newly crowned Shieldmaiden’s champion, and Esperanza is almost brand new. One thing we do know is that there’s probably more ego in that ring right now than any men’s match we’ve had tonight.
Vasco Dias: I have a feeling Esperanza’s lack of experience is going to be a stumbling block. She’s never held a major championship, which means Kayla knows more about it than she does. I think you’ll see Richards walk away from this match still champion.
{The ref signals for the bell to ring, and both wrestlers starting circling each other, neither displaying any sense of urgency. Kayla takes a dives at Esperanza’s legs, but she scrambles out of the way. Richards pops back up and they circle a little more. Esperanza charges next, but Kayla moves out of the way, and pushes her toward the rope. Serranto grabs them to stop herself from rebounding. Kayla almost goes for a drop kick, but sees the reversal before she jumps. They circle some more.}Vasco Dias: Feeling each other out early on. They don’t get paid by the hour. No need to rush.
Terri Morasco: You can see it in their eyes. They’re studying every little move and twitch, trying to get the early advantage.
{Kayla swings with a right, and Esperanza ducks it, spinning her around. Serranto tackles Kayla to the ground, and goes for a fujiwara armbar, but Kayla scrambles out of the ring, and takes a lap, as the crowd boos, and Esperanza gets to her feet. The ref backs Serranto into her corner, and starts counting Kayla out. She takes a count of five to climb back in. This time they don’t bother circling each other. Instead they lock up in the center of the ring. They push back and forth a bit, but Esperanza gets the upperhand. She pushes her back into the ropes, and whips her across the ring. On the rebound, Kayla gets hit with a calf kick to the face. Esperanza goes to grab her leg, but Kayla kicks her off, and scrambles to the ropes. She pulls herself up, and both wrestlers sprint toward each other. Kayla swings with a clothesline, but Esperanza ducks it. As Kayla turns around, Esperanza jumps up onto the second rope, and propels herself backward, hitting a vicious back elbow to Kayla’s jaw. She goes for the pin quick.
...1!
...2!
...No! Kayla kicks out.}Terri Morasco: Esperanza taking advantage early on with some fast offense.
Vasco Dias: It’s going to take more than that to beat Kayla Richards. Just watch.
{Esperanza picks her up, and whips her into the ropes. She goes for a dropkick, but Kayla grabs the ropes at the last second, causing Serranto to hit the mat hard. Esperanza pops up, but Kayla is quick to hit her with a kick to the gut. She then grabs Esperanza’s head, and hits a snap suplex, which she then rolls backward into a grapevine front facelock hold.} Vasco Dias: Quick, skillful move from Kayla that turns the tide instantly.
Terri Morasco: There is no doubt of the talent level in that ring right now.
{Esperanza flails for the ropes, as Kayla locks the hold on tight. They’re not close enough to the side of the ring, so Esperanza turns to plan b and begins punching away at Kayla’s ribs. After a number of stiff shots, Kayla’s grip loosens enough for Serranto to push her off, and roll backward. Both women pop to their feet, and stare each other down. Esperanza shouts something the cameras don’t pick up, and both women switch to more of a boxer’s stance. They approach each other in the center of the mat, and start bobbing back and forth. They each throw a few punches, neither landing any right away. It’s a quick jab from Kayla that catches her opponent off guard.}Terri Morasco: Both of these women are talented brawlers. I’m not sure what Esperanza said to her, but it looks like they’re going to trade punches.
{Kayla rolls with her momentum, and hits Esperanza with a few more strikes, sending her back into the corner. She goes for a huge haymaker, but Esperanza ducks it, and hits her with a few quick shots to the ribs. She follows up with a european uppercut that sends Kayla stumbling backwards. Esperanza runs forward, but Kayla dives at her leg, hitting a front chop block that sends Serranto to the mat in agony.}Vasco Dias: A crafty move by Kayla Richard.
Terri Morasco: Crafty? That was a cheap shot, and you know it.
Vasco Dias: This is wrestling. You win any way you can, and Kayla Richards knows how to win.
{Kayla grabs Esperanza’s leg, and steps on her knee, before falling back, locking on the calf killer.}Vasco Dias: She calls that Diamonds are forever, your leg is not, and it looks like it’s doing the trick!
{Esperanza screams out in pain as Kayla wrenches on her injured knee. Slowly, Serranto claws her way to the ropes, and grabs the bottom one, yelling for the ref to get her off. He starts counting, and Kayla waits until four to let go. The ref admonishes her, as Esperanza pulls herself out onto the apron. Richards ignores the ref, and walks over to her opponent. She reaches over the ropes, and starts to drag Esperanza up, but Serranto drops after part way, hanging Kayla up on the top rope. She stumbles back, and Esperanza hops up. She leaps onto the second rope, but Kayla is again to quick, and dives on it. Esperanza falls hard, her knee catching on the rope, before she hits the apron and falls to the concrete floor.}Terri Morasco: Esperanza went high risk, and Kayla Richards just had her number on that one.
{Kayla yells at the ref to count her out, which he begins to do. Esperanza slowly gets up, and manages to roll herself inside before the ref gets to eight. Kayla wastes no time at all, running forward and stomping on Esperanza’s injured knee. In desperation, Esperanza kicks, and manages to sweep Kayla’s legs out from under her. As soon as she hits the mat, Serranto dives on her, flipping her onto her stomach, and putting on a front facelock. She holds on tight, as Kayla flails. Once she has the hold locked on tight, Esperanza raises her good knee up a few times, slamming it into the top of Kayla’s skull. Richards gets to her knees, and slowly brings them both to their feet, but can’t wrench her way out of the front facelock. Esperanza lets go at one point, only to hook both of Kayla’s arms behind her back. She then lifts and flips the champion, hitting her with a butterfly back breaker. Unfortunately she doesn’t think it out, and she slams Kayla on her bad knee. Both women drop to the mat.}Vasco Dias: That might be a costly mistake from Esperanza.
Terri Morasco: Yeah, you have to be careful when you’re dealing with a possible injury. Kayla Richards may not weigh as much as some other wrestlers, but it’s still quite a bit of weight.
{Esperanza drags herself to the ropes, nursing her leg, as she drags herself up. Kayla stands slowly as well, and runs at Esperanza. Serranto drops down, and lifts Kayla, flipping her over the top rope. She hits the concrete hard, giving Esperanza some time to drop back down and try to recuperate. Eventually Esperanza stands, and watches Kayla do the same. Serranto then bounces off the opposite ropes, and goes for a suicide dive. Kayla moves out of the way at the last second, sending Esperanza flying into the steel guard rail.}Terri Morasco: A nasty collision! She’s going to feel that for weeks.
Vasco Dias: If you’re going to take a big risk like that, there are times when it’s not going to pay off, and we just saw a perfect example of that.
{Kayla picks Esperanza up, and rolls her under the bottom rope, immediately following after and going for the pin.
...1!
...2!
...3! No! Esperanza gets a shoulder up at the last second. Kayla slaps the mat in frustration, and stands to her feet. She swings her arms back and forth, before hitting a hard pendulum elbow. She jumps up and hits a second quick one, before climbing to the top rope. She leaps off and hits one more elbow, before popping to her feet and taunting for the booing crowd.} Terri Morasco: Kayla may be getting a tad too confident here.
Vasco Dias: She has every right to be confident. She’s a champion, and she’s kicking the crap out of her opponent right now.
{Kayla moves to the corner, and waits, as Esperanza slowly stands. The crowd gets louder and angrier as she signals for her finisher.}Vasco Dias: HEre it is! Kayla’s gonna end it with the Sister of Mercy!
{Esperanza hits her feet, and Kayla runs forward. She goes for the flying kick, but Esperanza drops back to the mat just in time to dodge it. Kayla crashes to the mat, and her momentum takes her to the concrete floor. They both lay down for a moment or two. Esperanza is the first to stand. She waits for Kayla to do the same on the outside, before running and diving over the top rope, hitting a somersault plancha. She crashes into Kayla, and both women hit the ground hard as the crowd applauds their effort.}Terri Morasco: The crowd loving this match. Both women putting it all on the line here.
{Both women are slow to move, but Esperanza stands first. She struggles to rolls Kayla inside, and has barely enough energy to get in herself. They both lay on the mat for a bit, and they both stand at about the same time. Esperanza doesn’t give Kayla the chance to make the first move. She jumps up and grabs Kayla’s neck, bringing her down hard with the Compton make-over. She claws her way over to the corner, and slowly climbs her way to the top. She jumps off and goes for the Lights Out frog splash, but Kayla rolls out of the way just in time. Serranto hits hard. Kayla gets to the corner, and drags herself up, waiting with malice in her eyes. As soon as Esperanza stands, Kayla runs at her and goes for the Sister of Mercy again. This time it connects perfectly with her chin.}Terri Morasco: There it is, and Esperanza is out cold! Kayla with the pin!
...1!
...2!
...3!
{Kayla pops up to her feet, throwing her fists in the air.}Alison Valance: Your winner… and STILL IWF Shieldmaiden’s champion… Kayla Richards!
{The ref hands her her belt, but she demands he wrap it around her waist. He obliges, and she poses with the belt for a bit, before making her way to the back.}Terri Morasco: A hard fought match. Both competitors should be proud of this one.
----------------------------------------------------------
IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
INVICTUS RULES
w/ Khaos as Special Guest Referee
Warren Kane vs Jack Gaither (C)
----------------------------------------------------------
{The lights go out as the crowd chanting fills the arena.}"Da da da de da da da
Da da da de da da da
Da da da de da da da
Da da da de da da da
LET'S GO!"
{As the song kicks in the tron explodes to life with a quick pyro as red and white strobe lights begin to flash. Warren Kane comes to the front of the stage and brings his arms up infront of his chest before extending them outwards and upwards creating a reaction from the crowd.}"It's not easy making a name for yourself, Where do you draw the line?
I never thought I'd be in this far.
Let's have some fun and never change that for anyone, try not to miss me when I'm gone
Woooh, wooooh"
I sold my soul to the open road!"
{He then heads towards the ring, clicking his neck, wrists and elbows to prepare for his match before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms once more. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}Terri Morasco: He comes the challenger for the Invictus Championship.
Vasco Dias: Spike isn't with him, he must be completely serious about trying to teach Jack a lesson here tonight.
{The familiar screech of an eagle is heard, and a burst of pyro goes off as Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls On Parade" kicks into high gear. Within the plumes of white smoke, a lone spotlight shines brightly as the figure of Jack Gaither appears on-stage, his head covered by a gleaming silver mask featuring blue and gold trims on all sides. Wearing a sports jersey and all silver tights with a pattern of gold and blue flames on both sides--not to mention blue boots with silver tassels--the "Golden Eagle" quickly springs down to ringside, high-fiving random folks along the way. As he approaches the ring, Jack takes off his mask and gives it to a lucky fan. A cannon goes off just as the lights come back on en masse.}Vasco Dias: And the champion has made his way to the ring...
Terri Morasco: You don't sound very enthused Vasco.
Vasco Dias: Ya think?
Terri Morasco: Vasco you don't have to be so...
{The lights slowly dim and a single spotlight shines on the stage with a crimson red chaos symbol in the center of it. After a few seconds Khaos appears in the spotlight with his head tilted down as the soft drum beats echos. Khaos slowly lifts his head as the music seems to pause. As the guitar rifts sound and the drums blast giant crimson colored flames soar from the stage around his body in the form of the Khaos symbol as "You Will Know My Name" by Arch Enemy plays throughout the arena all while the lights turn back on with a crimson hue to them. Making his way down to the ring his face develops a sort of sinister smile. Ascending the steps he makes his way to the middle of the ring apron. Entering the ring through the top and middle rope Khaos glares at both Jack Gaither and Warren Kane brushing his hands down his sort of make shift Referee shirt.}Terri Morasco: Ah the wildcard has entered the ring.
Vasco Dias: I wonder how impartial of a Referee this guy is truly going to be.
{Holding his hands out Khaos takes the Invictus championship and holds it above his head while staring at it with a sadistic smile. Walking towards the ropes he hands it outside the ring to one of the ring side crew who takes it back to the bell table. Waving his hand and calling for the match to start the bell rings}Vasco Dias: Well he called for the bell, he's on the right track
Terri Morasco: You're just going to be full of sarcasm during this match I can already tell.
{Jack and Warren head towards the center of the ring and start to exchange words. Taking a step back they both put a foot forward and tie up attempting to gain the early advantage. Warren does just that grabbing Jack by the head squeezing it in the center of the ring. Backpedaling towards the ropes Jack pushes Warren towards the other side of the ring. In return Warren bounces off the far ropes and comes back connecting with a shoulder knocking Jack to the mat. Rolling over Jack stands up and ties up with Warren again. The second go around didn't change any as the end result was Warren again knocked Jack to the mat with another shoulder tackle.}Terri Morasco: So far things just don't seem to be going Gaither's way.
Vasco Dias: What do you expect Terri, two times these men have faced each other; two times Kane has walked away with a victory.
{As Jack made his way back to his feet for a second time they tied up again. This time the action pressed towards one of the corners. Jack this time got the upper hand pressing Warren's body into the turnbuckles. Khaos walked up towards them to get a better eye on the action. Warren seemed to get aggravated at the fact Khaos wasn't counting or attempting to break them up.}Terri Morasco: What's he doing? Shouldn't he be counting or separating them?
Vasco Dias: I don't think Khaos has any intentions on this match ending that way. Quite honestly I say that's the best way, let these two go at it and settle this little squabble once and for all.
{Jack continued to press Warren into the turnbuckle while seemingly pressing his head backwards as well. Warren seemed to have enough and pushed Jack off sending him back a couple of steps. Turning his attention towards Khaos; Warren began shouting at him trying to figure out just what the hell he was doing. In doing so it almost cost him a bit as Jack came running back towards the corner; however Warren was able to flip the momentum and push Jack into the corner now. Lifting up his hands Warren began to land a couple of right chops to his chest. Turning his body slightly to the side Warren connected with an elbow to the side of Jacks head that seemed to stun him for a second.}Vasco Dias: That looked like a vicious elbow shot
Terri Morasco: It seems that way, Now Kane seems to be moving Jack from the corner
{As Jack was whipped across the ring Warren tried to follow it up with a clothesline as Jack rebounded off the ropes. However Jack ducked under the arm and used the ropes to springboard himself towards Warren sending him through the middle ropes with a flying arm drag. As Warren Landed outside the ring with a thud Jack walked back towards the center of the ring taking a second to collect himself as Khaos walked towards the ropes and stared at Warren who was making his way up onto his feet using the barricade.}Terri Morasco: Again Khaos isn't doing anything. He doesn't even seem the slight bit interested in starting a count out.
Vasco Dias: No he doesn't. I think it's safe to say that with Khaos as referee anything goes.
{Noticing Khaos wasn't making a count Jack bounced off the ropes and ran towards Warren diving through the ropes connecting with a suicide dive sending both men crashing into the barricade. Getting up first Jack picked Warren up by his left arm and attempted to Irish Whip him towards the steps. However this was countered and Jack was the one sent toppling over the steps knees first towards the announcers area. Making his way towards the announcers table Warren grasped Jack by the head and bounced it off the announcers table with a sickening thud.}Terri Morasco: They're right here in front of us!
Vasco Dias: You don't say Terri? Oh good here comes another one.
{Jacks head bounced off the announcers table a second time before he attempted to gain some distance from his opponent with a minor limp. Khaos had now made his way to ringside and followed Warren as he caught up to limping Jack and attempted to drive him back into the barricade. Jack got a lucky break as he was able to side step Warrens charge and pushed him stomach first into it. Turning around Warren was met with a combination of lefts and right straights before Jack connected with a clothesline. It wasn't enough to send Warren over top of the barricade so instead Jack grabbed at the left arm and Irish Whipped him at an angle sending him flying just past the ring post and into the bell table.}Vasco Dias: I can't believe I'm saying this, but Jack looks as if he was ready for this match.
Terri Morasco: You'll get no argument from me, Kane's folded up in half over here on the other side of the table.
{You could hear the sound of steel hitting the floor as Warren began to crawl out from behind the bell table. Jack started to make his way over towards Warren ready to attack but was instantly doubled over as Warren slammed the top of a steel folding chair into his gut. Lifting the chair high above his head Warren brought the chair down smashing it into the middle of Jacks back. After throwing the chair into the thing Warren did the same with Jack before walking outside the ring towards the middle of the apron before taking a knee.}Terri Morasco: What's he doing?
Vasco Dias: Looks to me like he's grabbing a table.
{Warren stood back on his feet dragging out a table before sliding it into the ring. The little time he took was costly as Jack was already back up in the ring and smashed Warren in the back with it. The assault wasn't over yet as Jack smacked the chair into Warren's back three more times before throwing it towards one of the corners. While Warren cringed in pain Khaos looked on from outside the ring watching Jack grab the table and started to set it up near the ropes. Putting his hands on his waist he broke eye contact form the action and stared towards the bottom of the ring which was exposed after Warren had grabbed the table. Looking back towards the announcers with a sinister smile he looked back towards the ring and shrugged.}Terri Morasco: Shouldn't Khaos be in the ring not watching from the outside.
Vasco Dias: He probably should be, but apparently he thinks the match needs to be spiced up a bit because now he's chucking random weapons in.
{A trashcan was thrown into the ring, a cooking sheet, another table, a couple more steel folding chairs, even the top half of the ring steps had hid slid inside the ropes. Jack had attempted to connect with "The Screecher" but Warren pushed him off into the corner nearest the set up table. While Khaos slid back into the ring, this would turn out to be a very non ideal spot for Jack as he wound up getting Warrens boot rammed into the back of his skull.}Terri Morasco: He just smashed him in the back of the head!
Vasco Dias: Eat it! My god Kane's signature move just connected in a down right ugly fashion.
{ As Jacks body fell towards the mat Warren hooked the leg and attempted a pin fall. Khaos slide from his standing position towards where the bodies laid onto his side and started to slam him hand into the mat.}...1

..Kick out
Terri Morasco: Jack kicked out, he kicked out.
Vasco Dias: I'm surprised, that boot to the back of the head looked like it knocked him straight out
{Warren rolled off Jack's body looking up at Khaos holding up three fingers. Shaking his head Khaos told Warren that he had kicked out just before the three count. Shaking his head Warren got to his feet and grabbed the non set up table placing it in the left corner near the ramp. Warren didn't notice that Jack had managed to crawl his way and grab a hold of the cooking sheet, and once Warren attempted to lift Jack up; BOOM!! Warren started to stumble backwards clutching his head as Jack dropped the cooking sheet that now was all bent up after being wrapped around Warrens head. Jack took advantage of the situation presented from him and lifted Warren up over his head. Taking a second to catch his balance from his slightly injured leg it didn't stop him from slamming Warren down with the "Overdrive" before going for the cover.}...1
...2
.. Kick Out
{Again Khaos raised to his knees after the count throwing up both his hands with only two fingers sticking up showing he only counted to two before Warren kicked out. Kicking a couple of the chair out of the ring until only two where left Jack picked up the non used one and waited for Warren to get to his feet. As he did Jack rammed the top of the chair into his gut doubling Warren over. Throwing the chair down onto the mat Jack bounced off the ropes and smashed Warrens face off the chair with a bulldog and proceeded to lock Warren into the ending stage of his "Flashover" finishing move. Taking a knee beside them he randomly asked Warren if he wished to give up}Terri Morasco: Gaither's got his finishing submission in, can he actually pull this off?
Vasco Dias: Maybe he could if this was a normal match but look at what Kane's reaching towards.
{Jack continued to apply the pressure but the hold was broken as the sound of metal connecting with bone echoed throughout the arena after Warren had managed to grab onto the trashcan and smash it into the side of Jacks head just barely missing hitting himself. Warren managed to roll away from Jack as he laid on his stomach attempting to get his breath about him. Finally shaking the trashcan shot off Jack took it and threw it out to the ringside area before going after warren again.}Terri Morasco: What does Gaither have planned? He's placing Kane up against that corner mounted table.
Vasco Dias: Iron Claw! He's going for the Iron Claw!
{As Jack pressed Warren's body into the table leaned in the corner he had his hand grasped around Warren's head squeezing. Khaos leaned his body against the ropes near the table with his arms bent towards the two competitiors asking Warren if he wished to give up and ready to signal for the bell in he said yes or began to tap out.}Vasco Dias: He's got that hold locked in deep
Terri Morasco: Is Kane going to tap?
{Jack continued to apply the pressure on Warren's head attempting to get him to tap out. You could see him struggling then it almost seemed like Warren started to go lip. Reaching forward Khaos grabbed Warren's left arm and lifted it up to see how many times it would fall against the table he was leaned on.}...1
...2
...
{As Warren's hand started to drop for the third time he resisted and started to punch Jack in the stomach attempting to break the hold. Jack wasn't about to let that happen and pushed Warren's head backwards cracking it off the table applying more pressure. Khaos took a couple of steps back and seemed to do so just at the right time. Warren started to push them away from the table then grasped his arm around Jacks body and lifted him up off the ground.}Vasco Dias: 'Splosion! What an Exploder suplex..
Terri Morasco: Look at Gaither he's all bent up in the wreckage of that table..
{As Jack's body crashed through the table Khaos jumped backwards with his arms behind his head muttering the words "holy shit" as Warren collapsed to the mat. Looking at both of the down competitors Khaos realized neither of them where moving. Kneeing down beside them he checked on Jack to see what kind of shape he was in then down to Warren doing the same. Realizing they where moving, slowly, but moving he rolled out of the ring. Walking towards the ring steps near the announcers table he looked under the ring for something. Slowly he pulled out a large black looking case with the chaos symbol marked on the top. Leaving it laying near the steps he slid back into the ring as Warren had managed to drag Jack out of the broken table wreckage and covered him.}...1
...2
..Kick Out
{Khaos held two fingers up again signaling to Warren that Jack had just barely beaten the three count by lifting his shoulder off the mat. Now standing on his feet Warren began to argue with Khaos who argued back. They continued to do so until Warren shoved Khaos backwards. Instead of bouncing off the ropes Khaos just leaned against them running his hand over the back of his head down his neck with a pissed off look on his face.}Terri Morasco: I feel as if Khaos isn't going to be so impartial anymore
Vasco Dias: That could have just screwed Kane out of the Title. Khaos had every right to disqualify him, but it seems as if he's willing to let it slide this once.
{Turning towards his opponent Warren grabbed one of the steel chairs and cracked Jack straight on top of the head with it causing him to lean on the set up table near the ropes. Grabbing Jack by the head Warren pulled the table away from the ropes a little bit then put Jacks arm around his head and lifted him up into a delayed vertical suplex position. Turning so their bodies where at the right angle for the attack; Jack brought the tip of his knee into Warrens head causing him to wobble knocking the table over.}Terri Morasco: Somethings got to give here
Vasco Dias: It does and Jack attempting to end it here.
{As Warren wobbled from the knee he dropped Jack back onto his feet. Jack stumbles to the floor as Kidd tries to gather his bearings, forcing Khaos to check on both men. He asks Kidd if he is ok before getting a nod and going over to check on Jack. Gaither seems to be recovering as Khaos makes sure he is ok... before raking Gaither's eyes! Jack, now quite literally, did not see that one coming, leaping up as he clutches his eyes in agony. Kidd, regaining his bearings grabs Jack, lifting him back up into the air and instead of wasting time on taunting or delaying the his move; Warren snaps their bodies down connecting with the "Spike Impailer" dropping Jack head first into the steel chair laying in the ring before hooking the leg looking for the win. Khaos then dropped to the mat and began to count the pinfall}...1

...3
Terri Morasco: He Did it!!
Vasco Dias: What an Invictus Championship match; and Khaos stayed true to his words and called the match right down the middle!
{Khaos got to his feet and signaled for the bell. As the bell sounded he reached between the ropes and grabbed the Invictus title belt and started to walk towards the center of the ring where Warren has begun to celebrate slowly. As Khaos stood there watching the two he stared at the Invictus championship with a sadistic smile on his face... Khaos handed the Invictus Championship to Warren then exits the ring towards the announcers side and stood outside the ring. As Warren celebrated in the ring Khaos took a knee in front of the case he had drug out and placed beside the steps during the match. Picking it up he placed it underneath the corner he was near then slowly slid back into the ring.}Vasco Dias: What is Khaos doing?
Terri Morasco: The he called the match down the middle like he was going to. Now I feel he's about to follow through on what he guaranteed in his promo Sunday night.
{As Kidd's eyes met Khaos' sadistic smile it was a little to late for Khaos strikes Warren from behind. As Warren started to get up off the mat Khaos bounced off the ropes and lowered his body before connecting with his "Vindictive Impairment" Signature move. As Warren's body smashed into the mat; Khaos quickly got back onto his feet and grasped Jack by the head and pushed his body towards the tipped over table bouncing his body off of it. Lifting up the steel steps he had slid into the ring during the match he thrust his arms forward sending Jack straight back to the mat after the steel collided with his head. Standing over top of Jacks body Khaos picked up the table and set it back up. As Warren began to stir a bit now he picked the steps back up and gave him the same treatment cracking the steps off his head. Throwing the steps outside the ring; walking towards the ropes he motioned for a microphone and once he finally got one walked backed to the center of the ring and picked the Invictus Championship up off the mat}Khaos: I told every single one of you last week if you were in my way or had something I wanted to get my hands on; that you would be entering a blood soaked battle ground with me!
{Looking down at Warren you could head some more demonic laughter escaping from Khaos.}Khaos: Kane...Gaither.... I'm sure by now in the back of your minds you've figured out just how serious I was when I told the world that. It's pretty obvious what I have my sights set on right now. I mean why do you think I attempted to get put into your little title match as the Special Guest Referee? It wasn't so I just watch the action; oh no, it was because I knew after the war you two would put yourselves through I would have my chance to not make an impact tonight on Sacrifice, but prove to everyone watching just what type of person I am. As I just showed the world, I have NO problem biding my time until the perfect situation arrives for me to strike.
{Holding the Invictus Championship high above his head he then spoke once more}Khaos: Tonight I want both of you take this exactly as it seems. I am staking my claim for a Invictus Championship match, but I don't expect to get it right away. Instead I'm asking management here and now to grant my following request. I don't care if it's Warren Kane, if it's Jack Gaither or anybody else brave enough to go one on one with me. I want someone next week on Sacrifice, and If i win that match I want a shot at the Invictus Title on upcoming PPV. Now I understand I must wait to hear from management on if my match is accepted or not, but there is one thing that I do know that I no longer have to wait for. Everyone around the world and everyone inside the Imperial Wrestling Federation... Now Knows MY NAME!
{Dropping the microphone at his feet Khaos looked up at the championship he held above his head with his sinister smile before allowing it to drop onto the mat. "You Will Know My Name" by Arch Enemy played throughout the area as Khaos slowly exited the ring. Turning around he slowly walked backwards up the ramp laughing as he watch Jack slowly crawl out of the table wreckage and as Warren Kane had managed to lean himself up against the ropes with blood trickling down his face. Standing at the top of the ramp he raised up his arms outwards like a crucifix and shouted the words "The War Has Begun" before turning around and walking backstage}----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
w/ Jake “The Ace” Conway as Special Guest Enforcer
Hooligan vs Roberto Verona
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall…
{The crowd becomes a buzz as we see Jake Conway in the ring with a referee shirt on as Kat Conway sits at ringside next to the commentator table.}Alison Valance: Introducing first…
{Gaelic music with some bagpipes and drums plays until the lights go out and the Imperatron reads}HOOLIGAN{Hooligan will emerge riding his Harley Davidson bike and ride down to the ring, riding around the ring and surrounding his opponent. He'll park up before walking into the ring.}Terri Morasco: Gotta admire the fighting spirit of Hooligan. It’s his first open fight night and what does he do? He challenges the boss.
Vasco Dias: I admire nothing. I think he’s a moron, and I can’t wait for Verona to put him in his place.
Alison Valance: And his opponent…
{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: He is the COO of the IWF…ROBERTO….VEROOOOONA!
Vasco Dias: Time for the boss to put Hooligan down and show him why you don’t cross the boss.
Terri Morasco: We’ll see how he deals with the multi time champion.
{The two men size one another up in the center of the ring as Hooligan looks ready to fight as Verona cracks a smile. Hooligan looks confused before Verona hauls off and slaps the lad across the face.}Terri Morasco: Wow…
Vasco Dias: He’s the boss…he does what he wants.
{Hooligan turns on a dime and levels Verona with a huge Lariat!}Terri Morasco: What a shot by Hooligan!
Vasco Dias: That’s the boss…you’re gonna regret that.
{Hooligan lifts Roberto to his feet and sends him to the ropes. He ducks down for a Back Body Drop and is greeted by the boot of Verona to his face. Hooligan again tries for a lariat but this time Verona is expecting it and ducks, turning and taking out Hooligan with a Chop Block to the back of the knee. As Hooligan falls to his knees, Verona grabs him by the head and drops him into the mat with a huge DDT before floating over for the first cover of the match, only getting a two.}Vasco Dias: He’s playing with him.
Terri Morasco: Some resilience by the Scott.
{Verona lifts him to his feet, but Hooligan throws Roberto’s hands a way and hits him with a series of strikes before kicking Roberto in the gut and lifting him for a Powerbomb. Roberto though uses his savy to slide down the back of Hooligan before spinning him around and hitting him with a Spinning Neckbreaker.}Terri Morasco: Roberto is just outclassing the newcomer here.
Vasco Dias: It’s what he does.
{Roberto stalks Hooligan, licking his thumb before marking a spot on his boot. Hooligan turns and Roberto goes for the “Silencer” Superkick, but Hooligan ducks and kicks him in the gut, hitting him this time with the Powerbomb he looked for earlier. He falls onto Verona and hooks the leg…
One…
TWO!
NO! Verona kicks out. Hooligan can’t believe it as he thought he had the match won, but the ref only shows him two fingers. He argues a bit but Verona sneaks up behind and rolls him up for a quick two before Hooligan rolls through and as Verona is getting to his feet, Hooligan hits a Shining Wizard!}Terri Morasco: A knee to the face of Verona! This could be it!
{Hooligan gets a two count again!}Vasco Dias: That was close, but we all know that means nothing in our sport.
{With Verona out in the center of the ring, Hooligan climbs to the top rope and lunges off with a Diving Headbutt, but the COO moves out of the way, and Hooligan crashes and burns. Verona pulls himself up in the corner as Hooligan gets to his feet. Verona charges and leaps in the air hitting the “Vedi, Vini, Vici” Running Knee. He covers Hooligan and hooks the leg…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
The bell rings.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner…ROBERTO…VEROOOONA!
Vasco Dias: My man Verona does what he does best, he puts another person in their place.
Terri Morasco: That may be the case, Vasco, but Hooligan showed some real guts tonight.
{ Ace lifts Roberto’s arm in the ring as the pair celebrate a victory before suddenly the tron kicks into life. The pair of them stop immediately and look up the ramp as the static slowly begins to fade revealing a shot of a wodden door with a golden plaque on it. The plaque reads “Kathleen Conway: Head of the Diamond’s Divison” and we focus on that for a few moments before panning back slightly to reveal the grinning face of Renee Pleasant. The crowd boos as Jake’s face turns white, staring up at Renee who blows a kiss to the camera before turning to open the door and enter the office leading Jake to spring into action. Conway flies out of the ring and up the ramp at a swift pace whilst Verona is left all alone. }Vasco Dias: Oh crap, this can’t be good.
Terri Morasco: What the hell has that evil depraved monster got in mind!?
{ Verona stares up at the tron as he hobbles over to ropes, feeling the effects of the evening, before hopping down to the ring mat. He begins to make his way slowly up the ramp, exchanging a few words with the fans at ringside before our camera’s swiftly move elsewhere. We immediately cut backstage once against as Jake Conway flings his wife’s office door open… to find a startled Kat Conway inside, completely unscathed. Jake pants with relief and a mixture of confusion as Kathy looks at him with concern. }Kat Conway: Jake, what’s the matter?
Jake Conway: Has Renee been in here?
Kat Conway: Renee… no, why?
Jake Conway: We saw him… he came into your office and…
Kat Conway: I’m flattered you’re still me dashing knight in shining armour but, Renee hasn’t been inside this room tonight.
Jake Conway: But I saw him…
{ Jake pauses for a moment before turning back and walking over to the door. He pulls it towards him to examine before peering at a pale patch of wood. The golden plaque on his wife’s door, screws and all, appears to have been removed. Jake suddenly goes pale, turning to his wife who is still completely confused. }Jake Conway: He was never in here…
{ Jake turns to leave the room again frantically before we cut to the arena again to see Roberto Verona making his way back up the ramp alone. Roberto stops to look back down at the ring but as he does so a large hooded man hops over the barricades and makes a beeline for the COO, tyre-iron in hand which he uses to crack Verona straight in the ribs. The man begins a vicious assault of Verona who is completely powerless to defend himself and as he does so his hood slips off to reveal the face of a rampant Renee Pleasant. The crowd rains down boos as Roberto tries to fight back to little avail before Renee finally relents, shouting some less than pleasant words down at Roberto before he looks up to see a returning Jake Conway. Seeing that his work is done Pleasant hops off the ramp and back over the barricade as Jake flies after him, but not fast enough. Our camera pans back to Verona who is soon attended to by Conway as the show takes a short commercial break. }----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”Sticking Around”
----------------------------------------------------------
{Hooligan can be seen walking backstage. He spits blood from his mouth before smiling and playing with his swollen eye. He notices the camera and turns around towards it.}Hooligan: How fucking sexy dae I look?
{The crowd laugh with him}Hooligan: Let me clear something up here. I know some see me as a gimmick or something that looks very familiar with the way I talk and the way I speak. I cannae help that. But am here to assure you I ain't here to copy naebody. Am oot here tae fight and to get this party started!!
{The fans cheer him.}Hooligan: This call out tae Verona wisnae about getting to the top wi a shortcut. It wisnae about calling about the locker or about making ma name heard or disrespecting others that have been here fae ages.
{Hooligan spits more blood out.}Hooligan: This was about showing tae the powers that be that think they know it aw and can treat us all like shite. The same bosses you aw see daily that think they're better than you or the panels that cut your wages or promotions because they want mare money and power to themselves! This was showing tae one of them that we aren't afraid anymore!
{WOOOOOOOOOO}Hooligan: This was tae show that a common low class life like masel tae you Verona that we can fight at yur level. That we can tangle with you and yur boys. This was a siren for you tae know we're not afraid o ye anymare!
{OHHHHHHHHHH!}Hooligan: And as a unit. Yur lads and lassies against ours. You dinnae stand a chance!
{OHHHHHHHHHH IWF IWF IWF}Hooligan: I think I'm gonnae like it here! You'll be seeing plenty mare fights from me yet you lot!
{WOOOOOOOOOO HOOLIGAN HOOLIGAN HOOLIGAN}Hooligan: And Roberto...your end is beginning! And I'll be here wi a pint of tennant's celebrating! Because I am the hooligan!!!
{His music plays as he drops the mic. He rolls out of the ring and slowly goes to his bike.}Terri Morasco: Looks like the son of Scotland is, as he say it, gonnae stick around!
Vasco Dias: Never do that accent again! And did somebody really just declare ANOTHER war on Verona?
----------------------------------------------------------
IWF MAN OF STEEL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
MAN OF STEEL RULES
Rob Diamond vs Andrew Jacobsen
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Welcome back to Open Fight Night. Our next match up could be the biggest of the night as Andrew Jacobsen puts his Man of Steel Championship on the line against Rob Diamond!
Terri Morasco: Rob laid down the challenge but Jacobsen was the one who offered up his belt so this should be interesting.
Vasco Dias: Either Andrew is going to shut the mouths of his detractors or he’s going to learn a brutal lesson in humility.
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. }Alison 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 is ready to fight tonight!
Terri Morasco: And he looks better each and every week he comes out here. Remember last week when he was sitting right next to me? God he looked amazing.
Vasco Dias: I remembering him being a disrespectful-
Terri Morasco: VASCO! This man could be our next Man of Steel Champion! You show him respect.
Vasco Dias: I’ll show him some when he earns it, in the mean time I’m giving all my praise to Andrew Jacobsen, the reigning and defending Man of Steel Champion!
{ 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: Andrew Jacobsen is the man who conquered the Ace’s historic reign and has set about trying to make the Man of Steel Championship even more prestigious than the Imperial Championship.
Terri Morasco: Well this is one way to do that, assuming he can over come Rob Diamond, a man he has never had great luck against.
{ The cage doors are closed as Rob just smirks across the ring at Andrew. The referee finishes telling them the rules and calls for the bell. Both men come right out of their corners and lock up in the center of the ring. Andrew quickly moves behind Rob for a rear waist lock take down but Rob manages to roll behind Andrew and goes for one of his own but Andrew twists in his arms and gets behind Rob and goes for a side head lock. Andrew looks for the take down but Rob pushes him off and Andrew bounces off the ropes and right into a shoulder block by Rob that knocks him on his back side. }Vasco Dias: Rob giving up on the technical display and going right for brute force.
Terri Morasco: Stick with what works!
Vasco Dias: Just goes to show he isn’t the type of wrestler to wear the man of steel championship.
{ Andrew is right up and ties it up with Rob again. Andrew forces him into the corner and pulls him down into the side head lock again, this time he connects with the take down and looks for the rear chin lock. Andrew has it applied but Rob boxes the ears of Andrew who releases the gold. Rob gets up to his feet and gets a running start before bouncing off the opposing turn buckle and coming back with a wicked running boot to the face of Andrew Jacobsen! Jacobsen is stunned and Rob looks for the Fist Full of Democracy but Andrew gets under and grabs Rob’s arm as he comes around a second time and twists his arm behind his back and slams Rob into the mat with a rear wrist lock take down. }Vasco Dias: Look at Jacobsen go! Beautiful take down.
Terri Morasco: I don’t think he’s going to submit Rob with a wrist lock.
Vasco Dias: It’s meant to wear Rob down, cause him to use energy he will need later in the match.
{ Jacobsen finally lets go and Rob tries to push him himself up quickly but Andrew is right there with his hands around the waist of Rob Diamond and release German suplex right into the cage wall! Andrew isn’t going to relent now as he pulls Rob up to his feet and pulls him right into the COLD SNAP! }Vasco Dias: YES! Jacobsen with the cold snap!
Terri Morasco: But will that be enough to cause put Rob down!?
{ Andrew stands up, pleased with himself as the referee starts counting but Rob starts moving at four and is up by six. Andrew looks to fire off the LIGHTS OUT! But Rob gets under the boot of Andrew Jacobsen and instead catches him with a back stabber!!! Andrew is staggered on his feet as Rob is up and twists him around into the Dominicus Driver! }Terri Morasco: Rob is on the offensive now.
Vasco Dias: Pfft, for now, Andrew is playing possum.
{ Rob pulls Andrew up to his feet and runs him face first into the cage and then mashes his face against the steel wire and drags him down the side of it like a cheese grater before turning him around into a short arm clothes line! Andrew tries to get up but Rob is right there with a Standard 80’s style Mike Rotunda Hip Toss that sends the crowd into a fury as Andrew tries to figure out where he is. Rob is right on him now as the North Star gets to his feet, Rob swings with the Fist Full of Democracy again but Andrew has it well scouted for the second time and connects with LIGHTS OUT!!!! }Vasco Dias: SUPERKICK!!!!!
Terri Morasco: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!!!!
{ Rob and Andrew hit the mat at about the same time and the referee starts a double count. }Vasco Dias: The crowd is chanting this is awesome and I’m going to have to agree, it is awesome watching Jacobsen beat Rob Diamond’s ass!
Terri Morasco: So much for being unbiased.
Vasco Dias: Oh like you don’t cheer for Rob!
{ The referee hits four and both men are still down. }Terri Morasco: Could we see a double knock out!?
Vasco Dias: Not likely.
{ Six and Andrew starts to get up. Seven he’s reached his feet. Eight and Rob Diamond rolls over to his hands and knees. Nine and Rob is up! }Terri Morasco: They’re both up!
Vasco Dias: Unbelievable!
{ Jacobsen takes off with a big European upper cut on Rob and knocks him back into the corner. Andrew unloads with forearm shivers and then elbow shots to the head. Andrew lets out a growl before hitting several back to back European upper cuts on Rob in the corner. }Vasco Dias: Jacobsen is like a beast unleashed!
{ Andrew lines up his final shot and hits the Gordie Howey Special!!! Rob stumbles out of the corner and Andrew gets right behind him for One German Suplex, rolls it over and stands him up for a Second German Suplex, he rolls him over and back to his feet for a third and Final German Suplex, completing the HAT TRICK! }Vasco Dias: That had to take the wind right out of Rob’s sails.
Terri Morasco: It’s interesting, it seems like Jacobsen is going for the knock out as opposed to the submission, he’s left Rob’s legs and lower back almost completely alone.
Vasco Dias: The man feels he has something to prove.
{ Andrew isn’t finished as he pulls Rob to his feet again and sets him up for the BOREALIS right into the turnbuckles! Rob just sags in the corner on the mat as Andrew gets to his feet with a sinister grin on his face. He looks down at Rob and yells at the ref to COUNT! The referee starts his count. }Vasco Dias: Rob looks like he’s out of it.
Terri Morasco: I wouldn’t count him out just yet.
{ The referee hits five and Andrew looks confident. Six. Seven. Rob starts to pull himself up on the ropes and gets to his feet at Eight. Andrew sneers and runs full speed at him looking for the drop kick but Rob rolls on the ropes and Andrew hits nothing but turnbuckle! Rob is right on Jacobsen as he tries to stand and hits a SPEAR INTO THE CORNER!!! }Terri Morasco: SPEAR!!!!
Vasco Dias: Yeah, yeah we saw it.
{ Rob stands up and pulls Andrew up as well, setting his legs up on the second rope, he backs up, crotch chops and hits the SHATTERED DREAMS!!!! }Terri Morasco: Andrew’s kids are going to be feeling that one!
Vasco Dias: That move should be illegal.
{ Andrew drops onto the mat and Rob backs up across the ring and hits another crotch chop then runs across the ring and hits the BRONCO BUSTER!!!! }Terri Morasco: I love when he does that.
Vasco Dias: I bet you do.
{ Rob gets off Andrew now and pulls him up to his feet, Rob finally hits the Fist Full of Democracy then throws Andrew into the corner and hits him with a big spine buster in the center of the ring. Rob isn’t finished as he pulls Andrew back up to his feet and picks him up for another Dominicus Driver! }Terri Morasco: Rob is preparing that neck of Andrew’s for the Last Chancery.
Vasco Dias: He’s never going to get the chance to lock it in.
{ Rob grabs Andrew by the neck and pulls him up into a rear choke hold and just wrenches on him hard. The referee is checking on Jacobsen who is refusing to tap out but Rob doesn’t care. He pulls Andrew up to his feet and drives a knee into his mid section then picks him up for a vertical suplex right into the corner of the ring. Rob gets to his feet and drives his boot into the throat of Andrew Jacobsen as the referee warns him to back off. }Vasco Dias: Rob is taking some liberty’s with the rules here.
Terri Morasco: That’s what he does best.
{ Rob backs off and waits for Andrew to stand, he runs in looking for the Diamond Cutter but Andrew pushes him off and instead connects with the Gordie Howey Special! And then a standing drop kick that sends Rob flying backward across the ring and into the corner. }Vasco Dias: Jacobsen is back!
Terri Morasco: He landed two nice moves there and took control back of the match.
Vasco Dias: And now it’s time for him to put Rob away once and for all!
{ Andrew looks ready to end this one as Rob tries to stand up, Andrew connects with him in the corner with another European Upper cut! Andrew throws him out of the corner with a belly to belly suplex. Rob is stunned as Andrew lines up his knock out blow. Rob is slow to his feet and Andrew fires off the LIGHTS OUT! But Rob gets under it and DIAMOND CUTTER!!!! }Terri Morasco: That’s it!!! DIAMOND CUTTER!!!!
Vasco Dias: I don’t believe it…
{ Both men are down on the mat as the crowd is going crazy. }Vasco Dias: That can’t be it… IT CAN’T BE!
Terri Morasco: Well it doesn’t look good for Jacobsen right now.
{ The referee hits three, four, neither of them are moving. }Terri Morasco: Rob needs to get up!
Vasco Dias: No, Andrew needs to get up!
{ Six, seven. }Terri Morasco: There is no way we are having a double knock out.
{ Eight, nine and they both get to their feet at the last possible second! }Vasco Dias: Oh thank god.
Terri Morasco: That was close, both men have to be running on fumes right now.
Vasco Dias: They can’t have much left in the tank, that’s for sure but Andrew, being the champion, always has a little bit extra.
Terri Morasco: Jesus you’re such a suck up.
{ Rob fires off a right hand, Andrew counters with one of his own. Rob hits him with another, Andrew fires right back. The two start to square off in a slug fest as the crowd pops or boos depending who is throwing the punch. Rob starts to get the upper hand of the fist fight and drives Andrew back into the corner but Andrew gets under one of the right hands and picks Rob up for a big atomic drop and then over head belly to belly suplexs Rob right into the corner! }Vasco Dias: YES! Look at Jacobsen go!
Terri Morasco: He’s really showing what he’s made of tonight.
{ Andrew is seething as he stands up. He grabs Rob by the head and neck and tucks him between his legs. He looks ready to finish this now. }Vasco Dias: This is it!
{ Andrew picks Rob up for the ICE BREAKER!!!! BUT SLIPS OFF THE BACK AND CONNECTS WITH THE DIAMOND CUTTER!!!! }Vasco Dias: NO!!!
{ Rob quickly locks Andrew into the LAST CHANCERY!!!! }Terri Morasco: This is it! Rob has him in the Last Chancery!!!
Vasco Dias: NO! NO! NO!!!!
{ Andrew has no where to go and he’s just about out of steam. He struggles but he can’t get anything going and after a full minute locked in the Last Chancery he taps the mat!!!! }Alyson Valance: Your winner and NEW MAN OF STEEL CHAMPION!!!! ROB DIAMOND!!!!!
{ The referee brings Rob the belt as he climbs up the corner and raises it high in the air as the crowd cheers! }Terri Morasco: Rob Diamond had done it! He has captured the Man of Steel Championship in a five star match! I can’t even take anything away from Andrew Jacobsen, that was a stellar match.
Vasco Dias: It was ok.
Terri Morasco: And Rob has dealt another serious blow to Body Count, you have to wonder when Alex Jones is going to take notice…
{ Rob stands in the center of the ring, belt on his shoulder and mic in his hand. }Rob Diamond: THE CHAMP!!!!! IS!!!! HERRRRRRRRE!!!!!!
{ Rob Diamond is headed up the ramp backward with his eyes on the ring when AARON OWENS COMES FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!! But Rob, in tune with the crowds boos, ducks the chair shot just in time and Owens nearly falls over from the momentum of his own swing. Owens turns around just in time to catch a hard clothes line from Diamond, sending him down onto the ramp. }Vasco Dias: What the hell!?
Terri Morasco: Aaron Owens is attacking Rob Diamond!
Vasco Dias: Or trying to!
{ Owens looks up at Rob as he just shakes his head at him. }Aaron Owens: You and me! One more match!
Terri Morasco: Is he really asking for another match?
Vasco Dias: It sounds like it.
{ Rob just looks at Owens and laughs before shaking his head “No” and walking backstage. }Vasco Dias: Well looks like Owens has his answer.
{ Owens sits on the ramp, his face red with anger as he glares at the spot where Rob was just standing. }
Well howdy there pardner.
