THE SILVER SCREEN QUEEN IS HERE!!!!
Iām Coming Out by Diana Ross begins to blast all across the speakers and as that happens we are able to see Christina Millar emerging through the backstage curtain and the roaring boos of the crowd are deafening. She isnāt alone as her husband Jonathan comes out beside her. Crystal smiles as her grouping of paparazzi gather up in front of the ring and they snag photo after of the Latina beauty. She walks down the ramp as she begins to pie face the crowd. The crowd boos loudly in return as they glance back at the Hollywood hottie, and Jonathan stays attached to his wife.}Alison Valance: From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 120 poundsā¦āThe Silver Screen Queenā CRYSTAAAALā¦MILLAAAAR!!!
{Her following of paparazzi meet her as does a red carpet. She takes in appeal of the cameras smiling as flashes begin to go off one after another. She then runs up the steps where she walks towards the middle of the apron. She blows kisses out to the crowd before she drops into a split entering the ring. The crowd begins to go nuts and she waits patiently for the match to begin.}Terri Morasco: Well, Crystal issued a pretty much open challenge to the rest of the Diamonds Roster, and she got her answer real quick.
Vasco Dias: She can talk the talkā¦she always could, now can she walk the walk?
Alison Valance: And her opponentā¦
{āOver Youā by Girlicious plays throughout the arena. Seventeen seconds into the song, Paige and Sara come out to a negative reaction as they holds their hand in the air above their heads, their index fingers pointed down at themselves as they do a quick spin around before walking down to the ring, talking themselves up to all of those in attendance and everyone watching at home.}Alison Valance: Accompanied to the ring by Paige Garcia, from San Diego, California, weighing 135 poundsā¦SARA Garcia!
{The two sisters jump up on the apron, posing for the crowd, showing off their beauty before each sitting on the middle rope and swinging their legs to the left, pulling the rest of their bodies in as well. They pose again for the crowd who boo as the two talk strategy for the match.}Terri Morasco: Sara Garcia was the one to accept the open challenge. Her and her sister got DQed at Diamonds Are Forever, but it worked out well for the Alexis/Garcias group.
Vasco Dias: Thatās right as the Era of Caffrey continues on.
{Paige drops down as Sara gets ready to take on Crystal. The two circle the ring as Crystal gets up in the face of Sara, the two talking to one another before Crystal shoves Sara away with a hand to the face that doesnāt go over well with the young twin Diamond as she turns and takes a wild, angry swing at Crystal who ducks, grabbing Saraās arm and spinning her around before grabbing her by the hair and throwing her through the air. Paige tries to calm her sister who is freaking out in the corner, holding the top of her head, checking to make sure none of her hair was pulled out.}Terri Morasco: Looks like all of a sudden, Crystal has the advantage here.
Vasco Dias: Weāll see if she can keep it up.
{Sara pulls herself up and the two Diamonds lock up in the center of the ring and itās Sara who pushes Crystal back into the corner. The referee gets between them, asking for a clean break but doesnāt get it as Sara reaches over and slaps Crystal right across the face.}Terri Morasco: Blatant disrespect by Sara Garcia.
Vasco Dias: Well, according to her, Crystalās done nothing to earn her respect. Maybe she can do that here tonight.
{Crystal charges out of the corner and goes to take Sara down but Sara ducks out of the ring, starting to run around it as Crystal follows. Sara slides back into the ring, and grabs at the refereeās legs to hide, and while the referee is directed, Paige grabs hold of Crystalās ankle and pulls her from the ring, grabbing her by the hair and pulling her back of the head first into the barricade at ringside. Sara letās go of the referee and stands to her feet, holding out her arms with a huge smile on her face as the crowd boos.}Terri Morasco: And the numbers game catching up to Crystal here.
Vasco Dias: Thatās why you need to be careful when you issue an open challenge.
{Sara slides under the bottom rope to the outside, and grabs hold of Crystal rolling her into the ring. She goes for the cover and only gets a two. Sara complains to the referee who informs her it was a two. She gets to her feet and stalks Crystal. As Crystal turns, Sara goes for the āKockout Kissā Standing Sidekick, but Crystal ducks and hits her with the āFlashing Lightsā Chick Kick. Sara goes down and Crystal falls down on top of her and gets a two before Paige pulls Saraās foot over the bottom rope without the referee noticing.}Terri Morasco: Come on already!
Vasco Dias: What? What happened? I saw nothing!
{Crystal, annoyed, rolls out of the ring to confront Paige, pushing her back into the barricade.}Terri Morasco: Crystal fighting back!
Vasco Dias: I canāt believe sheād do that to an innocent bystander!
{Crystal rolls in under the bottom rope, and right into the KNOCKOUT KISS!}Terri Morasco: The distraction costs Crystal.
Vasco Dias: A better competitor wouldnāt have been distracted.
{Sara pulls Crystal by the legs to the center of the ring, locking in the āBow to the Queenā Scorpion Crosslock!}Vasco Dias: Thatās right Crystalā¦bow to the true queen in this match!
Terri Morasco: And thatās it!
{Crystal after a valiant fight, taps out to the hold as the bell rings and āOver Youā plays over the speakers.}Alison Valance: Here is your winnerā¦via submissionā¦SARAā¦GAAAAAARCIA!
{Paige enters the ring and the two kick Crystal to the outside before hugging in the center of the ring, raising one anotherās hand as their music plays.}----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
āKnow Betterā
----------------------------------------------------------
{We cut backstage where Tiffany Jones stands with Mercedes Vargas in the interview area.}Tiffany Jones: Mercedes, you're not scheduled to compete tonight, so what brings you here to Open Fight Night?
Mercedes Vargas: What? Is there a new law going around that I can't show up unless I'm booked now? Was there a board meeting I missed or something, Tiffany, because this is news to me. Did Hannah Reed had something to do with it?
Tiffany Jones: Well, no. It's just that this is the first time we've seen you on an episode of Open Fight Night. Tonight's the fourth show and so far your only appearance was at the very first show on September of last year in a non-Open Fight Night tag match with Emma Danielson against the Garcia Twins. Staying on the topic, why don't you make open challenges for matches anyway? You seem to be tolerated enough in the Diamonds division and the company.
{Crossing her arms, Mercedes gives a brief look of disdain to the interviewer.}Mercedes Vargas: Okay, first of all, tonight's a special occasion. So much so that I've been in awe and amazed. In awe that there's three Diamonds matches and amazed that quite possibly all of them will put me in a coma even I wouldn't want to wake up from. Of course, there's the celebration of Spike Kane's career. You think I would miss that? Not for nothing would I miss tonight. Better be careful not to sugarcoat things. You know how Spike gets when it comes to food.
{As she says this, she turns and winks at the camera, adding a condescending smirk for good measure.}Mercedes Vargas: And second of all, to get a match on a card, to go looking for a fight. Do I look the least bit desperate? There's a reason why the girls in the back don't pick a fight with me. Because they KNOW better. They know that challenging me on Twitter or in the ring will be a big mistake.
Tiffany Jones: You have to think the Diamonds division is set on edge and tonight could be a make-or-break for the girls set to compete following the firing on Esperanza Serranto.
Mercedes Vargas: Not all Latinas are the same as Crystal said last week. There's a reason why I'm still here and Esperanza is being the best little sandwich engineer she can be at Subway. She was just another innocent victim of the Vargas Effect, the first of many since I got here. She was nothing special. Not to mention, but I'll mention, that her KatVonD wannabe act came off as a complete joke. Come on, were we really meant to believe she was a serious threat? And the less said about her train wreck of her second time here, the better off we'll all be. People come, people go. She won't be missed. Trust me.
{Mercedes takes a deep breath as she begins to grow irritated from talking about the now departed Diamond, but manages to keep her composure.}Tiffany Jones: Changing the subject to you, Mercedes, last week on Sacrifice, you were pinned by Shieldmaiden Champion Kayla Richards in a non-title triple threat match, also involving Crystal Millar. Do you have any thoughts about your latest defeat?
Mercedes Vargas: How many times do I have to repeat myself, Tiff? Wins and losses are not going to shut me up. It never did in 2013, 2014, 2015 and it damn sure won't change in 2016. No one is going to shut me up this year. Not the Fraud, not the Fluke, not the Flake, Crystal Millar, not Hannah Reed or Roberto Verona, and especially, Tiffany, especially not your older sister.
{There's an edge to her voice as she divides her attention between Tiffany and the camera.}Mercedes Vargas: Kat Conway may be running things in the division, she can keep her personal hand grenade in Eternity and her gopher in Emma Danielson, but she can never control me like that. And she doesn't have the guts to fire me. And why?
{Mercedes pauses for a moment, addressing the camera.}Mercedes Vargas: Porque ella sabe mejor.
----------------------------------------------------------
SHIELDMAIDEN TITLE MATCH
Eliza Valentine w/ Eternity vs Kayla Richards
----------------------------------------------------------
{"Vice grip" by parkway drive blares out as Kayla Richards emerges from the back. 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 Jace who stands at ringside}Vasco Dias: First up, our lovely Champion....
Terri Morasco: Kiss Ass.
Vasco Dias: I would if she'd let me!
{The lights in the arena go out and a simple but bouncy circus beat starts to play. As the drums kick in, purple strobe lights on the stage begin flashing in time with the music accompanied by matching coloured smoke which slowly rises to fill the entranceway. Shortly after the lyrics to "Something Wicked (That Way Went)" by Vernian Process begin, Eternity emerges from the smoke. There is a mixed reaction from the adults, but the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a black hat and a veil with her head bowed as she seems to lightly bounce halfway down the ramp. She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled black hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms......}Vasco Dias: Does anyone actually understand who the challenger is this week?
Terri Morasco: Eternity challenged Kayla on Eliza's behalf.... It's not hard Vasco....
Vasco Dias: Maybe not but with these three going at it something it...
Terri Morasco: Ugh, Pig.
{As Eternity rises to her feet, "Something Wicked (That Way Went)" by Vernian Process begins to fade out into a low, haunting lullaby - the opening bars of 'Asleep - Emily Browning'. Eliza Valentine steps out onto the ramp; her face is shadowed by a long, overhanging hood from a black hoodie, which hangs open over her usual ring attire. As she makes her way down the ramp, she pauses at Eternity's side and tilts her head with a flick, dropping the hood back as she does so...}Terri Morasco: Anyone else a little confused how Eliza got medically cleared?
Vasco Dias: Hey, medically she's physical perfection... Who are we to argue with our physicians?!
{Eliza takes Eternity's hat from her; and then continues down the ramp, she hops up onto the apron and slips between the ropes, rounding Kayla slowly, she places the hat on the turnbuckle and strokes it slowly almost with affection before looking back over her shoulder at Eternity who skips down the rest of the ramp and slides under the bottom rope before standing in the middle of the ring... Eliza drops to a knee in front of Eternity and bows her head as the lights in the arena come back up.
Eliza rises to her feet once more as Eternity skips across the ring and slides back under the bottom rope - as 'Asleep - Emily Browning' fades out.... Kayla steps forward and appears to be arguing with the official about something, she points at Eliza and shakes her head with a laugh, the official shrugs informing Kayla there is nothing she can do; at which point Kayla also shrugs and signals for them to ring the bell...
As the bell is rung Eliza suddenly chargers Kayla with a spear, slamming her down into the mat with some force. As Eliza backs up, Kayla springs back up to her feet and nods at Eliza, baiting her to try it again... Eliza continues to back up, dropping her head to the left she smiles at Kayla and wags her finger no, before turning her hand and inviting Kayla to come at her instead... Kayla seems momentarily perturbed by the change in her opponent, before charging forward with a spear of her own, Eliza is too slow in her side step and the two go down.}Terri Morasco: Eliza certainly doesn't seem like herself...
Vasco Dias: I'm sure Kayla doesn't care; this is about more than the title for her, I'm sure...
{Kayla rounds on Eliza with a couple of quick but hard knee drops before Eliza reaches the corner, pulling herself up, she smashes her elbow into Kayla's jaw, throwing her back and then off her feet with a leg sweep... As Kayla goes back and down, Eliza suddenly stops, appearing entirely out of it for a moment, before turning and making eye contact with Eternity, who smiles up at Eliza, but holds up a finger with a 'wait' type signal... Eliza stands perfect still until after a long few seconds, Eternity drops her finger down and into a fist, turning it violently.
Eliza spins on her heels but the distraction with Eternity means she turns into a spinning heel kick from Kayla, her foot colliding precisely with Eliza's jaw and taking her down Hard. Kayla then leans down and scoops Eliza up into a snap suplex, following it up with another... Kayla then bends to go for a third but Eternity yells at Eliza from ringside and Eliza brings her knee up into Kayla's midsection, backing her up just enough for Eliza to roll up onto her knees, she then manages to duck out of Kayla running in with a bulldog, Kayla instead hitting the mat hard herself as Eliza trips her, before rolling up and out of the way....}Vasco Dias: Eliza just doesn't seem present...
Terri Morasco: Maybe not, but Kayla needs to capitalize on that NOW!
{Eliza drops down and locks an Ankle Lock in on Kayla, who kicks at Eliza but is unable to connect, Eliza pulls back and Kayla is too far from the ropes to make a grab, the official checks on Kayla who refuses to tap, Eliza pulls back a second time and Kayla yells out in pain; as she does so, Eliza immediately lets go, scrambling up to her feet and moving back across the ring as Kayla cradles her ankle for a moment before reaching out to the ropes and pulling herself back up...}Vasco Dias: What the hell was that?!
{Eliza now stands perfect still, staring across the ring and seemingly completely through Kayla, who has now recovered from the Ankle lock and charges across the ring with a spear, taking them both into the turnbuckle with extreme force, Eliza doesn't seem to react though as Kayla backs up just a step and then drives her fist into Eliza with several body shots backing her against the turnbuckle... Eliza continues to stare past Kayla as Kayla backs up once more and screams at Eliza to get out of the corner, clearly frustrated....
Eternity shakes her head at Eliza from ringside and places a finger to her lips in a shhing motion. Eliza continues to stare at Eternity, almost entirely ignoring her opponent, who has now clearly had enough of the games these two are playing....
Kayla moves in with a drop toe hold, slamming Eliza into the mat and then locks in her Calfkiller 'Diamonds are forever, your leg is not' as Kayla wrenches on the hold, Eliza makes no move to reach for the ropes of anything, her eyes flicker to Eternity once more, who drops a quick nod so fast barely anyone sees it and within the blink of an eye, Eliza taps - forcing Kayla to break the hold as she jumps to her feet, arm raised.}Terri Morasco: That can't have been a satisfying victory for the Shieldmaiden....
Vasco Dias: Hey, a Wins a Win!
{Eliza slowly stands up, walking across the ring she pulls Eternity's hat from the turnbuckle where it still sits, before sliding down and under the bottom rope, handing the hat back to it's own with a now sleepy expression on her face, her eyes half closed as 'Vice Grip - Parkway Drive' hits and Kayla celebrates in the middle of the ring.} ----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Kyle Mason vs Renee Pleasant
----------------------------------------------------------
{ AFI - Miseria Cantare blares through the PA system as Kyle Mason steps out from behind the curtains. Natasha appears behind him as he thrust his hands in the air. Natasha runs her hand on his chest before kissing him on his cheek and joining his side as he walks down to the ring. Mason hops up on the ring apron and sits on the ropes to allow Natasha in the ring. Natasha smiles at Mason as she climbs up on the ring apron and slowly bends over in front of Mason before stepping into the ring. Kyle joins her in the ring as streamers fly into the ring. Natasha gives Kyle a few words of advice before leaving the ring and Kyle leans against the turnbuckle waiting for the match to begin.
}Vasco Dias: Kyle Mason threw out a challenge, Pleasant accepted and Mason got excited....this could be bloody, brutal and violent...
Terri Morasco: Sounds like a regular night in IWF...
{The opening bar of I smell a massacre hits the speakers as red lights swirl around the crowd, before settling on ReƱee 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.
ReƱee 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: Here he is the former IWF Imperial Champion...
Terri Morasco: A title he was never pinned for or gave up...
Vasco Dias: Oh get over it he lost the match.....
{The bell rings and Mason assumes a muay thai striking position standing upright with his arms up and out, Renee just laughs casually and moves out into the center of the ring, his long hair down his back and shoulders. He rubs his wrists and laughs pointing at him, they measure up and Mason moves in avoiding a shot from Renee slamming in some hard strikes, low ones to the legs followed by laser like kicks to the stomach and chest.
Each shot makes a loud noise as it hits Renee, he staggers back and Mason runs in as Renee leans against the corner, Mason grabs the top rope and slams in some more kicks, over and over, Renee covers up blocking the shots. Mason though steps back and fakes a low kick before leaping in the air with a superman punch sending Renee's hair flying backwards and over his head as the crowd oo's.}Vasco Dias: Wow Kyle Mason is on fire from the get go, his striking is flawless...
Terri Morasco: Renee has taken much harsher beatings Mason needs to stay on him.
{Mason turns to find Renee standing in the corner with a smile on his face, he wipes his mouth and takes a step out, Mason shows no fear of the huge former champion and stays on the attack, he shoots in this time trying to use his grappling with a double leg, Renee widens his base and then slams his elbow and forearm Mason staggers and Renee ducks picking Mason up on his shoulder before slamming him straight down and goes for a pin 1....2....Mason kicks out.}Terri Morasco: See Renee is double tough and strong...
Vasco Dias: But so is Mason....
{Renee goes for a knockout punch, Mason leaps in the air catching the punch wrapping himself around Renee's body into a cross armbar, he wrenches it in and holds it, Pleasant reaches for the ropes but can't quite make it, after a few moments he roppes up to his knee's stacks Mason up and goes to lift him in a powerbomb, as he lifts Mason let's go of the hold, lands on his feet in froont of Renee and ducks down wrapping himself around Renee in a knee bar, Renee falls face first and Mason locks it in.}Vasco Dias: Wow a knee bar!...
Terri Morasco: Mason knows his submissions...
{Renee reaches out, Mason slides back pulling Renee. Renee rolls over and kicks at Mason getting him to release the hold. They both get to their feet and Mason runs into a huge big boot from Renee, he looks almost completely unconscious as Renee pulls him to his feet for the RAV, he pins 1.....2.....3} ----------------------------------------------------------
ROB DIAMONDāS GAUNTLET CHALLENGE
Barbed Wire Rope Match
Rob must win or forfeit the Man of Steel to Zasshu at Metamorphosis.
Rob Diamond vs Mystery Opponent
----------------------------------------------------------
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 begins 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. }Allison 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 MAN OF STEEL CHAMPION!!! 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 then rips the Man of Steel Championship off of his waist and holds it high over his head. }Vasco Dias: Here is the supposed face of the revolution, what a pitiful revolution it is.
Terri Morasco: Rob Diamond has made it clear time and time again, he is only out for himself, it's not his fault there are a lot of people in the world who happen to agree with his mentality.
Vasco Dias: Too bad they aren't following a real leader like Roberto Verona.
Terri Morasco: You're such a kiss ass.
{ Rob inspects the barbed wire ropes as the crowd waits in anticipation of his opponent. }Terri Morasco: I wonder who Verona has picked for Rob to face...
Vasco Dias: Your guess is as good as mine.
{ King of the World hits the pa as Roberto Verona walks out onto the ramp to a chorus of boos with a mic in his hand. }Roberto Verona: I assure you people, the feeling is mutual.
{ The crowd boos even more and starts an "ASSHOLE" chant. }Roberto Verona: I'm sure you are wondering who your opponent will be tonight Rob and it is my pleasure to personally introduce him... THE NORTH STAR!!!! ANDREW JACOBSEN!!!!
Terri Morasco: What!? This will be his third match tonight!?
Vasco Dias: HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
{ When the Levee Breaks hits the PA as a slightly sore Andrew Jacobsen marches past Verona without so much as giving him a glance. Andrew marches to the ring and rolls in under the barbed wire as gets to his feet ready to fight. Rob looks around Andrew to Verona and asks "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?" }Roberto Verona: You always say you are out for yourself Rob, now is your chance to prove it to both the fans and the men who have stood by you. Good luck.
{ With that Verona turns on his heels and marches to the back. }Terri Morasco: This is bullshit!!! Andrew has had two other matches tonight and now he has to go toe to toe with Rob Diamond in a barbed wire rope match!?
Vasco Dias: Don't. Cross. The. Boss.
{ Andrew tries to loosen himself up but Rob doesn't look like he's as into this match as he was a few minutes ago. The referee calls for the bell and the two of them move in. Rob starts to say something but Andrew ties him up and pulls him into a side head lock. Andrew with the take down and transition into the rear chin lock. Rob kicks his feet and gets them under himself, pushing himself back to his feet. Rob hits some elbow shots and breaks the hold. He grabs Andrew and goes to throw him into the ropes but stops short and Andrew fires a back elbow into the face of Rob. }Terri Morasco: Andrew isn't holding back!
Vasco Dias: Kid has been through hell tonight, he can't hold back.
{ Andrew moves behind Rob with a rear waist lock and starts to drive him forward toward the ropes but Rob plants his feet and manages to stop the forward momentum. Andrew throws his hits for a German suplex and goes to pick him up for another but Rob catches him with a back elbow and manages to break the hold. Rob fires off several forearm shivers to the head of Andrew Jacobsen and kicks him hard in the stomach. Andrew stumbles toward the barbed wire and Rob charges him, Andrew side stpes but Rob stops and Jacobsen grabs him with a swinging neck breaker! }Vasco Dias: Look at that Jacobsen kid go!
Terri Morasco: He's moving pretty good for his third match tonight but Rob also seems to be taking it careful.
{ Jacobsen is up and he grabs Rob by the head and peels him up off the mat and picks him up for the COLD SNAP! Jacobsen covers him, ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Rob isn't out of this one yet.
{ Jacobsen pulls him up and whips Rob toward the corner but Rob stops himself with his hands on the ring post, Jacobsen comes roaring up from behind and Rob turns right into a European upper cut that rockets Rob into the corner, his shoulders catching the barbed wire as he slams against the turnbuckles. Jacobsen grabs him and hits a release over head belly to belly suplex on Rob! }Vasco Dias: HE HIT THE BARBED WIRE!!!!
Terri Morasco: Rob is the first to shed blood in this match!
{ Jacobsen covers Rob as blood begins to pool underneath him. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Still not enough to put the InFamous One down!
{ Jacobsen doesn't waste any time as he helps Rob up and starts laying into him with the Chikara Special, Rob seems dead on his feet as Jacobsen grabs him and hits the Borealis Suplex into the barbed wire ropes!!!! }Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD!!!
{ Rob lays on the barbed wire ropes his arms spread out screaming in pain as Andrew just looks at him, a small smirk on his face. }Vasco Dias: Andrew seems to be taking a little bit of enjoyment out of this.
Terri Morasco: He and Rob have a long history of hatred even if they are both on Verona's bad side.
Vasco Dias: Smart choice of opponent by Verona then.
{ Andrew peels Rob off the barbed wire as he yells out, the barbs ripping away his flesh a little bit at a time. Andrew drills him with a hard forearm shot then wraps his arms around his waist and looks to throw Rob into the ropes again but Rob blocks it then head butts Jacobsen in the nose. Rob stumbles back then explodes with a huge SPEAR into Jacobsen and both men crash through the barbed wire and land on the arena floor, flesh and blood going everywhere as Rob starts to lay into Jacobsen with some hard right hands. }Terri Morasco: It looks like Rob has stopped playing nice!
{ Rob tries to stand up but both men are entangled with the barbed wire and it rips at both of their flesh. Andrew hits Rob with a drop toe hold and he goes face first back into the barbed wire mess that lays on the arena floor. Andrew carefully rolls onto his hands and knees and grabs Rob by the head and starts to push his face down into the barbed wire and move it side to side, further opening the wounds on his head. Andrew lets him go and peels what little barbed wire is still attached to him and rolls back into the ring and just lays on the mat for a minute. }Terri Morasco: A barbed wire match is grueling and painful, it takes a lot out of both men, especially when one of them has already wrestled twice tonight.
Vasco Dias: This is what happens when you get in the way of progress. If they just pledged allegiance to Roberto Verona then none of this would have to happen.
Terri Morasco: None of it does have to happen!
Vasco Dias: Yes, it does.
{ Rob is slow to stand up and is still quite tied up in the barbed wire mess, Jacobsen is back to his feet and staggers across the ring to get a running start before coming back across and hitting Rob with a drop kick to the head as he tries to pull himself into the ring, Rob flies back and lands on the barbed wire again! }Terri Morasco: Jesus!
{ Andrew rolls over and stands up and tells Rob to "COME ON!" Rob tries to get up but he is all tangled now and drags some of the barbed wire mess with him as Andrew grabs him by the head and pulls him back up into the ring. Andrew hits a big European upper cut on Rob then grabs him around the waist but Rob takes the barbed wire hanging off of him and racks it down the back of Jacobsen. He quickly wraps it around his hand and hits a barbed wire wrapped Fist Full of Democracy on Jacobsen! Blood pours down the face of Andrew Jacobsen now. }Vasco Dias: These two are a bloody mess!
Terri Morasco: They're giving it all they've got to give!
{ Rob comes at Jacobsen with a clothes line but Jacobsen gets under him and grabs him from behind for a German suplex, he throws his hips and drops Rob on the barbed wire on the other side of the ring, the weigh of Rob's body tearing the barbed wire ropes off the ring posts and Rob lays lifeless on the apron. Jacobsen gingerly covers him as he lays there. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: HOW!?
Terri Morasco: Rob's Man of Steel Championship is on the line, he is not going to just give up and die!
{ Jacobsen is almost in disbelief as he starts to pull Rob up from the mess, Rob snaps back to life though with a huge elbow to the head, a kick to the midsection and he pulls Jacobsen up for a Dominicus Driver on the barbed wire covered ring apron!!!! }Terri Morasco: They're killed each other!!!
Vasco Dias: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!!!
{ Rob is slow to pull himself up from the mess of barbed wire and blood but he eventually finds his way to his feet, he grabs a tangle of the barbed wire and begins to wrap it around the head and neck of Andrew Jacobsen. }Terri Morasco: Oh god...
{ Rob pulls Jacobsen up and kicks him hard in the gut then hits him with a DIAMOND CUTTER!!! Jacobsen's face is ripped up from the barbed wire that Rob had covered it in then he rolls him over for the cover. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }Terri Morasco: He won... Rob won... But at what cost...
Vasco Dias: Roberto Verona just showed the world exactly what allies mean to Rob Diamond. Nothing.
{ Rob lays over Jacobsen, both men a bloody mess but Rob says something in his ear, the camera don't pick it up but his mouth forms the word "Sorry." }Terri Morasco: This was an absolutely brutal match.
Vasco Dias: And a lesson to anyone in the back who wants to stand up against Roberto Verona.
{ The referee helps Rob to his feet, handing him the Man of Steel Championship as he does so as the crowd suddenly goes into a chorus of boos. }Terri Morasco: Here comes Zasshu!!!
Vasco Dias: TO DELIVER JUSTICE!!!!
{ Zasshu hops the barbed wire and lands on the apron, Rob turns and tries to ready himself but Zasshu hits him with the CIESTA KICK!!! Rob goes down like a ton of bricks as the crowd boos their hearts out. }Terri Morasco: That son of a bitch!
Vasco Dias: That model employee!
{ Zasshu picks up the Man of Steel Championship, holding it in both hands before raising it over his head, standing over the fallen and bloody Rob Diamond. }Vasco Dias: That's all it's going to take, one kick and we will have a new Man of Steel Champion.
Terri Morasco: It's going to take a lot more than that... A lot more...
{ The crowd boos as Zasshu continues to posture. }----------------------------------------------------------

Vasco Dias: Ladies and gentlemen, itās time for your next contest of the eveningā¦
{"I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys kicks into high gear as Fiona McFly marches out on stage, takes a bow, and heads down to the ring--giving lucky fans quick pecks on the cheek along the way.}Vasco Dias: From Belfast, Northern Ireland, FIONAā¦MCFLYYYY!
Vasco Dias: I canāt wait to see this supposed know it all shut up once and for all.
Terri Morasco: It seems that this is what this match is all about. Sheās been calling out the tactics of the Diamonds Champion and her cohorts for weeks now, and with the opportunity to challenge anyone on the roster, Paige Garcia took advantage.
Vasco Dias: Speak of your princess and she shall appearā¦
{āOver Youā by Girlicious plays throughout the arena. Seventeen seconds into the song, Paige and Sara come out to a negative reaction as they holds their hand in the air above their heads, their index fingers pointed down at themselves as they do a quick spin around before walking down to the ring, talking themselves up to all of those in attendance and everyone watching at home.}Vasco Dias: Accompanied to the ring by her sister Sara, from San Diego, California, weighing 126 poundsā¦PAIGE Garcia!
{The two sisters jump up on the apron, posing for the crowd, showing off their beauty before each sitting on the middle rope and swinging their legs to the left, pulling the rest of their bodies in as well. They pose again for the crowd who boo as the two talk strategy for the match.}Vasco Dias: She is simply putā¦gorgeous.
Terri Morasco: Oh please. Sheās a vixen, just like her sister, and just like the Diamonds Champion, Alexis Caffrey.
Vasco Dias: Your jealousy is way too obvious Terri.
{Sara jumps down from the apron as Fiona waves at some fans at ringside before sheās attacked from behind by the Garcia she faces in this match. Her whip goes flying and the aggressive assault continues as Paige lays the boots to the midsection of the Belfast native. She pulls her up out of the corner by her hair and hits her with a series of Headbutts, the third of which taking Fiona down as she poses for the crowd, much to their dismay.}Vasco Dias: What dominance shown here by Paige from the opening bell.
Terri Morasco: Itās easy when you attack someone from behind.
Vasco Dias: Thereās that jealous rearing its ugly head again.
{Paige grabs hold of Fiona, but somehow, Fiona grabs hold of Paige and manages to roll her into a small package, only getting a two count before Paige rolls out and as both get to their feet, she levels Fiona with a lunging Clothesline, regaining control that quickly.}Terri Morasco: And its Paige with a hard strike to maintain control of this match.
Vasco Dias: Elegant.
{Paige grabs hold of Fiona and pulls her to her feet, lifting her into the air and hitting a vertical suplex before swinging her hips, keeping contact with Fiona, and flipping her over with a second. She swings her hips again and goes for a third, but Fiona hooks her arm over the top rope and grabs the middle for leverage before swinging violently at the abdomen of Paige whose grip lessens enough for Fiona to break free and leap into the air, hitting Paige in the face with a Dropkick!}Vasco Dias: Not the face.
Terri Morasco: Fiona coming back now.
{Fiona hits Paige with a Clothesline, followed by another, and another, gaining momentum with each blow. Paige swings wildly, and Fiona ducks under, looking for and executing a backslide pinning combination, but only gets a two count. Paige rolls back and lunges for the Clothesline again but Fiona ducks and as Paige gets back to her feet, sheās kicked in the gut and snapped over by Fiona with a Snap Suplex. Paige holds her back as Fiona stalks her, perhaps looking for the āIron Clawā submission. She grabs Paige by the head, but Paige drops to a seated position, bringing Fiona down with her in a jawbreaker formation that sends Fiona stumbling into the corner.}Vasco Dias: Great counter by Paige.
Terri Morasco: Whatās she doing now?
{Paige lifts Fiona onto the top turnbuckle in a seated position and climbs up with her, perhaps looking for the Frankensteiner off the top, but Fiona starts punching at Paigeās gut again, knocking the Diamond off the top rope to the ground below. Fiona regains her composure and a little unsure of herself, gets cheered on by the fans to ascend to the top rope. She does and closes her eyes if for a brief second, hoping she hits the move and lunges off. Paige though was playing a bit of possum and is quick to her feet, hitting Fiona with a āHeartbreakerā (RKO) on her way down. She lies motionless as Paige slowly gets to her feet, a huge smile on her face as she admires her handy work.}Vasco Dias: What a move from Paige Garcia! She snatched Fiona out of midair!
Terri Morasco: The top rope isnāt where Fiona is comfortableā¦and she paid for the risk tonight.
{Paige grabs hold of Fiona, and pulls her up to her feet. She lifts her up on her shoulders and walks around the ring before making it to the center and dropping to her knees, hitting Fiona with the āAll About Meā swinging her legs over for the coverā¦1! 2! 3! The bell rings.}Vasco Dias: Here is your winnerā¦PAIGE GAAAARCIAAAA!
{Sara slides into the ring with Fionaās whip, and the two girls manage to use it to tie Fionaās hands behind her back before the push her out of the ring with their feet, before flashing the āLā on their forehead in her direction as āOver Youā plays over the loud speakers.}----------------------------------------------------------

NO DQ
Zasshu vs Warren Kane
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The arena lights dim to a low hue as a golden spot light shines on the stage, the opening to Trivium's "Villainy Thrives" begins to play as the golden light strobes to the piano. Once the song kicks into gear Zasshu comes exploding out from the stage with a burst of pyro and to a boos from the crowd. He lands in a crouched position and looks all around before standing up and throws his arms out. Laura Howlett marches out from the back and walks beside Zasshu as they head toward the ring. Zasshu jumps up onto the apron and looking out over the crowd while Laura stops at the end of the apron and watches with an approving smile. He pulls himself up then catapults himself into the ring with a front flip and lands on one knee, his arms out and pyro bursting from the stage. }Vasco Dias: I like this guy right here, he's the future of the company if you ask me.

{As the song kicks in the tron explodes to life with a quick pyro as red and white strobe lights begin to flash.

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: Now Warren, he's clearly the future of the company.
Vasco Dias: He was until he threw in with that no good piece of crap Rob Diamond.
Terri Morasco: Rob Diamond is standing up for what he believes is right!
Vasco Dias: So is Verona!
{ The referee calls for the bell and the two men move right in for each other with some vicious right hands being thrown. }Terri Morasco: Warren looking for some revenge for his buddy Rob!
Vasco Dias: He's not going to get it!
{ Warren starts to over power Zasshu with the right hands and drives him back into the corner where he lands some stiff kicks to the midsection followed by a hard knee lift. Warren grabs him and looks for the Splosion but Zasshu blocks the move and gets behind Warren where he connects with a forearm shiver to the back of his head. He spins Warren around and springs off the second rope and drills a knee into the chin of Warren! }Vasco Dias: He's down!
{ Zasshu covers him. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Not even close to enough!
{ Zasshu moves for the ropes and spring boards off looking for another kick but Warren moves out of the way and grabs Zasshu from behind as he lands and hits a hard release German suplex! }Terri Morasco: Yes!
{ Zasshu rolls out of the ring as Warren gets back to his feet and screams for himn to enter the ring. Zasshu walks back and forth in front of the ramp as Laura gives him a pep talk but Warren is tired of waiting and comes running across the ring and flies through the second ropes and crashes into Zasshu with a suicide dive! }Terri Morasco: Suicide dive from Warren!
Vasco Dias: He can't do that! Zasshu was recovering on the outside!
Terri Morasco: No DQ! Warren can do as he likes!
{ Warren pulls the masked man up to his feet and runs him back first into the guard rails and nearly knocks them over. The crowd pops huge for Warren as he hits a stiff kick into the chest of Zasshu who lays against the rails.

{ Warren is up to his feet and looks out angirly at Laura. When Warren turns back he is caught by a running boot from Zasshu followed up with the Sliced Bread off the ropes.

HARDCORE MATCH
Jack Gaither vs Spike Kane
----------------------------------------------------------
{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: Iām not sure that Jack Gaither is prepared for this.
Terri Morasco: Iām not sure you can prepare for a match like this with Spikeā¦
{The crowd grow silent as the lights go out, monks chanting can be heard, as the chanting gets louder the stage area starts to fill with smoke. Suddenly, and abruptly as the drums and guitars kick in a pyro explodes around the stage.}āBROTHERS! MY BROTHERS!
Is this all what we are?
SISTERS! MY SISTERS!
Weāve been crushed by the fists of GOD!!!ā
{On the word God another pyro explodes either side of the rampway as Spike Kane appears through the smoke. He stands with his arms outstretched, fists balled up soaking in the reaction from the crowd. After a few seconds he simply heads right to the ring, rolling under the bottom rope and standing right in the center of the ring, extending his arms once more, before the lights fade to normal and the music fades.}Vasco Dias: Regardless, weāre in for a hell of a match here.
{The bell rings and Jack Gaither steps forward, a determined look on his face. Spike is leaning into the turnbuckle with a smirk on his face. He moves out of the corner and offers Jack a tie up, Jack nods and steps forward to lock up but Spike sends a swift kick right to the left knee of Gaither, who drops instantly to the other knee. Spike points to his head and mouths āI know youā to Jack. Gaither rises to his feet with an angry clothesline and takes Spike down. Kane rolls right back to his feet and ducks under another clothesline, this time he drops right to the mat and rolls out of the ring.}Terri Morasco: Spike is smart there, showing Jack that he has scouted him.
Vasco Dias: And he isnāt waisting time getting some toys.
{Spike looks under the ring apron as Jack comes over to grab him. He leans down and grabs Spike by the hair, but Spike pulls out a steel chair and blindly smacks Jack in the face with it. Gaither stumbles backwards but isnāt down, as Spike turns quickly to slide into the ring. As he gets to his feet with the chair, Jack Gaither nails a perfect dropkick into the chair, into Spikes face. The crowd roar as Jack seems to get the upper hand. He drags Spike to his feet, who has now dropped the chair, and whips him into the ropes. However Spike holds onto the ropes. Gaither charges hard to Spike, but Kane drops to the mat and pulls the top rope down with him which means Gaither sails over the top rope and down to the outside.}Terri Morasco: Oh wow, that was smart.
Vasco Dias: Jack is sticking here with Spike, but if he makes mistakes like that he will pay.
{Spike climbs to his feet, and sees Jack lying on the outside. As Gaither slowly stumbles to his feet, Spike steps onto the apron and uses the ropes to springboard himself with an asai moonsault to Jack Gaither on the outside! Spike rolls through to his feet and extends his arms to a surprisingly loud roar from the crowd.}Vasco Dias: Twenty years in the business and he still pulls off moves like that.
{Now Spike begins to look under the apron again and this time pulls out a table, but he isnāt done, he also pulls out a reel of barbed wireā¦.and a can of petrol! The crowd are losing it as Spike slides everything into the ring, before turning to grab Jack, but Gaither hooks Spike with a drop toe hold sending Spikes face right into the guard rail at ringside. Gaither climbs to his feet and delivers a few stomps to Spike for good measure. before turning to head into the ring himself. He begins to set the table up, as Spike slowly begins to move on the outside.}Terri Morasco: Iām not sure what Jack has planned, but Iām pretty sure it isnāt dinner for two.
{Jack has set the table up and he has the barbed wire in his hand, not quite sure what to do with it, but Spike slides into the ring. Jack turns just in time and smashes Spike in the face with it. Kane stumbles backwards, a few cuts colouring up his face now, but he isnāt down. Gaither drops the reel and quickly delivers a The Screechers to Spike Kane!!! The ref follows Jack down as he goes for the countā¦..ONE! ā¦.TWO! ..tH-KICKOUT!! Kane manages to get his shoulder up just in time. Jack begins to complain to the referee, as Spike rolls to all fours, blood dripping from his face.}Vasco Dias: Spike is donning the crimson mask thanks to Jack Gaither.
{Jack comes over to Spike and grabs him by the hair, before Spike nails Gaither with one hell of a low blow. The crowd āooohā in unision as Spike rises to his feet and nails Gaither with one hell of a clothesline before he can fall down. Spike roars with rage as he grabs the reel of barbed wire and begins to wrap it around the table, but he stops halfway through and instead wraps it around the turnbuckle itself. Before he has a chance to finish however Jack starts clawing at him. Spike drags him up and delivers a swift kick to the gut, before lifting him up into the air, he starts to walk towards the table and with a slight jump nails SPIKE IMAPAILER THROUGH THE TABLE!!! The crowd are on their feet, but just before Spike goes to cover Jack, Mohammed Al Thani has jumped the barrier and is distracting the referee. Spike spots this and goes to move towards him butā¦..WARREN KANE SLIDES IN AND NAILS SPIKE WITH THE KIDD KICK!!!}Vasco Dias: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS INJUSTICE!?
Terri Morasco: Never in my life did I think Iād see Warren Kane and Mohammed Al Thani on the same page.
Vasco Dias: How could they do this to Spike!?
{Warren jumps back over the security barrier, and Mohammed Al Thani steps down too, Jack comes to his senses and just sees Spike down, he scrambles for the coverā¦.ONE! ā¦..TWO! ā¦..THREE!!! JACK GAITHER PICKS UP THE WIN! The referee holds Jacks hand in the air, and Jack canāt seem to believe his luck as he looks around, he spots Mohammed with a grin on his face, and in the crowd Warren with a determined look. He starts shouting āwhat did you do!?ā but behind him Spike Kane is back on his feet. He storms at Jack and nails him from behind sending Jack to the mat.} āLadies and gentlemen, making his way down to the ring at this time, he is the Chief Operating Officer of the Imperial Wrestling Federation, current reigning Imperial Champion and the special guest referee for this contestā¦. Roberto Verona!ā
āIntroducing first, originally from Birmingham, England but now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada and weighing in at 260 poundsā¦.. āThe Aceā Jake Conway!ā
āAnd his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois and weighing in at 185 poundsā¦ā¦ āThe Man of 1000 Holdsāā¦.. āThe Wrestling Machineā Nighthawk!ā
āAnd our main event of the evening is, to be quite kind, something akin to a slaughtering. Nighthawk, who got brutalized at the end of his tag team match with a week ago, is now in the main event a second time against Jake Conway with Roberto Verona as the special referee. Everyone knows Nighthawk is hurt, and the rumours are that he is competing against the medical advice of the IWF medical staff.ā
"Nighthawk is a phenomenal mat technician, at least that's what he wants the world to believe. Now he gets the chance to not only prove it, but also he gets to deliver on his promise to get revenge on Jake Conway. Say what you like about Mr Verona Terri, but at the end of the day he didn't give Nighthawk anything that he didn't ask for. Now it's time to put up or shut up."
āWe are in a position where, and I donāt say this lightly, there is no way whatsoever that Nighthawk can win. And the better he does, the angrier it makes Roberto Verona and Jake Conway. Just take a look at Robertoās face. I think if they can do it, theyāre going to try and make an example out of Nighthawk.ā
āItās stupid pride, Terri. Everyone knows Nighthawk is a guy who shouldnāt be in the ring right now."
See what I mean Terri, the man supposedly has a neck injury but still can't resist showing off for the fans!
A move like that is going to do Nighthawk's already injured neck no favours...
Seizing the opportunity, Jake Conway rolls Nighthawk over onto his back and scrambles for the cover. Nighthawk somehow manages to kick out again even with the fast count, as Roberto Verona only manages a two count and looks at Jake in absolute shock.}[/div][/color]
āThe courage of Nighthawk is remarkable. This is a guy who walked into every trap set for him and has somehow managed to keep fighting even when he probably shouldnāt.ā
Foolish pride and a never say die attitude can only save you for so long Terri, mark my words.
What a fitting tribute to Spike Kane by The Ace here tonight...
More to the point, The Ace knows exactly what he's doing, look how tightly he has the hold locked in.
Well howdy there pardner.
