{ We return from a commercial break to head immediately backstage with interviewer, Tiffany Jones. }Tiffany Jones: Welcome everyone, I can exclusively reveal that IWF COO, Roberto Verona, is expected here at the IWF Legal Department promptly where I hope… wait, he’s here!
{ Roberto suddenly walks into camera shot as the crowd boos loudly.}Tiffany Jones: Mr Verona… I…
Roberto Verona: What do you want, Tiffany?
Tiffany Jones: Well..
Roberto Verona: Come on, spit it out, I really don’t have all day.
Tiffany Jones: We haven’t heard from you since the conclusion of High Stakes, and now you’re here in the IWF Legal Department I just wanted to know…
{ Verona shakes his head impatiently. }Roberto Verona: Why I am here? How I feel about what Jake Conway did to me? Do you honestly think I have time to deal with wasteful questions like this?
Tiffany Jones: Don’t you feel you owe the fans an explanation?
Roberto Verona: I don’t owe them a damn thing, or you for that matter. Jake Conway wanted to make a statement, Tiffany, he’s a professional wrestler, that is what we do. Three years ago I cheap shotted him to make a point, and last week he did it to me. If you think that affects our relationship you’re mistaken, all it means is the shackles are off.
Tiffany Jones: Be that as it may… that doesn’t explain why you’re here?
Roberto Verona: I’m here to ensure that two men, if you can call them that, aren’t rewarded for something they simply do not deserve.
Tiffany Jones: Do you mean Warren Kane and Rob Diamond?
{ Verona glares at Tiffany, his nostrils flared slightly as he turns and walks away, pushing the door open before disappearing as we head back to ringside. }----------------------------------------------------------

”Phase Two”
----------------------------------------------------------
{“Voices” by Disturbed hits the speaker system sending the fans into a ferocious chorus of boos. “The Featured Attraction” JJ Biggs steps out from the back and pauses on the stage, a shit-eating grin plastered on his face. }Terri Morasco: Looks like we’re going to be hearing from JJ Biggs, this man has some explaining to do after his actions at High Stakes!
Vasco Dias: What’s going on? Is he even under contract? Is he here to take my job?! I need answers!
{The boos continue as JJ starts down the ramp towards the ring. He casually walks up the steel steps before stepping over the top rope. He’s wearing a vintage JJ Biggs t-shirt and a pair of faded blue jeans as he stands in the center of the ring, staring long and hard into the camera. He chuckles softly to himself as he grabs a microphone from his back pocket, acting as a signal as the music slowly fades.}JJ Biggs: I suppose it goes without saying, you people are thrilled to be in my presence, yes?
{Boooooooooooooooooo!}JJ Biggs: I’ve been in this business for over twenty years. I’ve been everywhere and back again. I’ve been part of massive main events. I’ve won countless World championships. I was, am, and will always be the greatest wrestler in the history of this business. I’ve owned wrestling companies. Hell, as most of you are aware, I’ve even dipped into full-time announcing. The point I’m making is twofold: I have nothing, and I repeat, nothing to prove to anyone. And when you’re “The Featured Attraction,” you can choose to do anything you want – the wrestling industry is my chessboard, and you all, just like the wrestlers in the back, are my Pawns. The only purpose you have is to serve me, the King.
{Boooooooooooooooooooooooo! The crowd is going nuts, some of the boos are transitioning into “You Suck! You Suck! You Suck!” }Terri Morasco: He’s a bit full of himself, isn’t he?
Vasco Dias: He’s JJ Biggs, he can say whatever he wants as long as it doesn’t originate from this chair! This is my job, Biggs!
JJ Biggs: Anyway, I could go on all night defining my greatness. But you all have not earned that privilege, so I will move on to someone a bit more on your level: Jake Keeton.
{“Keeton! Keeton! Keeton!” The fans that aren’t chanting his name, which are few and far between, are cheering loudly at the mention of his name.}JJ Biggs: Keeton, a man that could have had everything but ended up with nothing. For years, and I mean for years, this guy could not keep my name out of his mouth. Somewhere along the way, like a whore picks up herpes, he latched onto a grudge against me. It was “JJ this, JJ that, I am going to get my hands on JJ Biggs!” And do you all want to know why? It’s because each and every morning he had to pull himself out of bed, stare at his ugly face in the mirror, and be reminded each and every time of a deflating fact: he’s not “The Featured Attraction.”
Terri Morasco: I highly doubt that.
JJ Biggs: He wanted a match, he wanted a fight, but you know what? I never gave him one because he didn’t deserve it. It’s an honor to stand in the ring with me, a privilege, one that dirt bag didn’t deserve. I left active competition without ever fulfilling his burning desire. And you know what? It made me smile knowing that for years the name “JJ Biggs” was a burning, grotesque spot on the back of Keeton’s brain.
But, as an opportunist, I saw an opening. Jake Keeton, in a position he was not deserving of, competing in a professional wrestling company that should not have even offered him a job to clean the shitters. He was vulnerable, a man unable to let go and understand his time is done. So, I pounced, like a lion on its prey, I smiled at the opportunity to end Jake Keeton, once and for all.
{Boooooooooooooooooooo! The crowd shows how much they hate JJ and disapprove of his words. “The Featured Attraction” lowers the microphone slightly, revealing a smile as he looks amongst the crowd. A few moments pass before he continues on.}JJ Biggs: It started last week, phase one is complete, and since Jake Keeton is still pissing on himself in a hospital bed, phase two will have to wait until next week. But once all is said and done, I, “The Featured Attraction,” will end Jake Keeton, and rid the industry of a cancer that should have been cut out years
ago.
{And with that, he drops the microphone and “Voices” by Disturbed hits the system again. The crowd boos loudly as JJ slowly paces around the ring, smiling as the scene slowly fades to black.}----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
James Franklin Karn Vs Teddy Steele
----------------------------------------------------------
{The iconic guitar rift for "Runnin' Down A Dream" comes blaring over the speakers, A rain of gold pyro comes down over the entrance as JFK comes walking out from the back wearing a IWF T-Shirt and his normal wrestling gear. He makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with the fans and rolls into the ring; he stands in the middle of the ring throwing his arms out in a crucifix pose with his body tilted to the side a bit and then heads to his corner waiting for the match to start.}Vasco Dias: Here comes JFK ready to make his big boy debut!
{The spotlight hit’s the curtain as it does the loud sounds of “Mama Said Knock You Out” by LL Cool J begins to blast across the speakers. The moment it does “The Lyrical One” Teddy emerges from the curtains clad in a United Kingdom Flag robe matching trunks and matching boots. He smiles proudly as his wife Kate Steele is right beside him. She has a megaphone in her hands as she claps proudly for her husband, she heads backstage as he gets to the ring.}Terri Morasco: And he makes said debut against Teddy Steele, right here, on Sacrifice!
{Both men stand in the ring as the referee calls for the bell to get this bout underway. They begin to shift and shuffle a little, before Teddy begins to clap his hands, trying to get the fans involved in the match. JFK nods his head before signalling for a lock up, and both men go in for said lock up, before Karns quickly takes Steele over with a headlock hip toss and down to the mat, not letting go of the headlock, but instead applying pressure.}Vasco Dias: Quick start by the rookie there!
Terri Morasco: JFK isn’t a rookie Vasco!? He’s a certified legend and has some serious credibility about him with his past in both XHF and nCw.
Vasco Dias: Yeah yeah, a bunch of tools left XHF’s sinking ship to join nCw and now that the good ship nCw is gone? Where are they?
Terri Morasco: Umm...here?
Vasco Dias: Exactly. IWF IWF is all that matters, so in my eyes, he’s a rookie!
Terri Morasco: Might not wanna say that to his face…
{Back in the ring, JFK still has the headlock locked in, and is sending a few well placed shots to the face of Teddy, his head recoils with each blow, but somehow he manages to lift his legs into a position to lock them around JFK’s head, and all but reverse the move. JFK lets go, and he rolls through as both men get to their feet. Steele takes Karn down with a fast arm drag, which sends James across the ring but right back to his feet. He immediately charges down Teddy with a clothesline, but Teddy ducks underneath and spins JFK around for an almost swinging DDT!}Terri Morasco: Teddy is really trying to step up here, he’s been making some vast improvements over the last few weeks.
Vasco Dias: He’s trying to put down the upstart, the “indy darling”
Terri Morasco: Do you even hear yourself right now?
{Teddy goes for a quick cover, but JFK kicks out before Steele even gets a one count. Teddy then staggers to his feet and drags Karn with him, but with a surge of energy JFK throws his arms up, bursting out of Teddy’s hold and delivers a flurry of kicks to the legs, and the hips, the last kick sends Teddy Steele down to a knee, and James Franklin Karn hits the ropes like a bat out of hell before bouncing off them and coming right back furiously with a Bullet With a Name Shining Wizard kick that almost beheads Teddy Steele!}Terri Morasco: BULLET WITH A NAME!!!
Vasco Dias: Yeah, didn’t MGK make that move famous?
Terri Morasco: Oh, now you know his history?
Vasco Dias: I do my homework Terri, get over it.
{The crowd are on their feet, JFK nailing the bullet with a name really brought them out of their seats and made them pay attention to him. He is sat on the mat as Teddy looks out cold, he scrambles across for a pinfall attempt….ONE! …..TWO! ….THRE-NO!!! Teddy kicks out at the very last minute.}Vasco Dias: He almost had the upset!
Terri Morasco: This is getting old…
{JFK tries to convince the ref it was a three count, but the ref confirms it was only a two. Karn runs his hands through his air, annoyed that Teddy managed to kick out before he scrambles back over to Teddy and begins to drag him to his feet. He starts unloading forearms into the face of Steele, and this seems to stir something within Teddy who begins to fight back, they start wailing on each other before Teddy ducks under a forearm and tries to nail a Pele Kick! BUT!!!! JFK had it scouted and steps to the side, forcing Teddy to just land in a lumb. JFK, once again, swings in for the cover. ONE! …...TWO! …..TH-NO!! Somehow Teddy seems to have just that much more in the tank to kick out earlier this time.}Vasco Dias: These guys are trying to go the distance here, and it’s winning me over as much as this crowd.
Terri Morasco: IWF is the place to be for the best wrestling on the planet!
{JFK rolls away from Teddy as they both get to their feet, he springs to life however and runs forwards for the T.K.K! (The Karn Kick) but somehow Teddy manages to literally rolls out of the way. He charges at James, but this time it’s Karns reactions that win as he steps aside and Teddy crashes right into the turnbuckle. As he staggers back out, JFK nails a kick to the gut before nailing Teddy with the double underhook piledriver he calls the FINAL NAIL!! He rolls over and covers, ONE! …..TWO! …..THREE!!}Terri Morasco: He’s done it! James Franklin Karn makes his full debut here on Sacrifice with a well earned victory over Teddy Steele, just adding to his impressive debut at the Roulette. We should expect big things from this man.
Vasco Dias: It was a great match, I can’t like….there’s something about JFK that bugs me, but he deserved the win here tonight.
{JFK celebrates in the ring as the ref double checks on Teddy Steele. We cut to commercial on the shot of JFK with his arm raised in the air.}

"Half the Job"
----------------------------------------------------------
{ We open up in an undisclosed hallway somewhere in the arena where we find Steve Awesome dressed in the hoodie he wore when he assaulted Rob Diamond during the roulette. Standing in front of him was Roberto Verona. Verona hands Steve an envelope. Steve opens up and looks inside and then quickly looks up again. }Steve Awesome: This is only half of what we talked about.
{ Roberto smiles and nods in agreement. }Roberto Verona: You only did half the job.
{ Steve Awesome runs his hands through his hair. }Steve Awesome: Ugh, will you not give me this bullshit right now Verona, I had plans for the other half. I needed it!
{ Steve sounded desperate, but Roberto doesn’t seemed phased. }Roberto Verona: In there you'll find enough money to pay the debts on your utilities that you've acquired because of your unfortunate state of your financial affairs. If you want to get anything else you'll just have to earn it the old fashioned way and do the job we talked about.
Steve Awesome: I DID do the job. I jumped him before he could enter like you said! I beat him up pretty bad. It's not my fault he's one of the most resilient bastards I've ever known. What else was I supposed to do? Break his neck?”
{ Steve said that sarcastically but Verona shrugs innocently. }Roberto Verona: Well I leave the semantics up to you, but either complete the job we talked about and do it up to MY standards or you don't get the rest of the money.”
{ Steve lowers his head and sighs. }Steve Awesome: Come on, he's one of my best friends, I can't do that to him. Not when he's so close to catching up to you and kicking your ass!
{ He said that last part just to piss Verona off, but Roberto stays calm. }Roberto Verona: Don't forget Steve......that I can make your current problem a lot worse. All those events you completely skipped and all the slander and bad press you gave about us, those are all violations of a contract that I still have and if I wanted to take it to court, let's just say you don't have enough best friends to get yourself out of that one.
{ Steve stops to think about that one. At his current state he couldn't afford a scandal like that. He'd never be able to get out of that much debt. Verona had him, right in the palm of his hand. }Steve Awesome: Eat a dick.
{ Roberto sensed the sound of defeat in that last insult. }Roberto Verona: We will be in touch.
{ Roberto walks down the hallway in the direction he was facing leaving Steve Awesome to walk in the opposite way. He starts putting his hood up as Tiffany Jones just so happens to be walking down the hallway. She wasn't flanked by cameras or anything but the journalist in her pulled out her cell phone and started recording. }Tiffany Jones: Steve Awesome? Why? Why did you do that to your best friend Rob Diamond? The whole world wants to know.
{ Steve Awesome simply shrugs. He couldn't tell them the actual reason. }Steve Awesome: Well you tell the world it was just business.
{ And with that, Steve walks away. }----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Addisyn Star (Steel O’Buffington) vs Jack Gaither
----------------------------------------------------------
{We find Addisyn Starr with Steel O'Buffington and Jack Gaither already in the ring as the referee calls for the bell!}[DING!]
Terri Morasco: Here we go--we apologize for some technical issues, but we're just about set for Jack Gaither against...
Vasco Dias: ...it HAS to be Steel O'Buffington! IWF doesn't allow intergender singles matches!
{Jack, dressed in street clothes instead of his traditional wrestling gear, goes right to work on the larger O'Buffington as Starr quickly dashes out of the way! The Texan backs the 300 pounder to the corner with rights and lefts before sending him for the ride. Steel bounces off the ropes and into a dropkick that sends him staggering backward—and into a second one! Eventually, Jack manages to knock O'Buffington to the canvas with a massive flying clothesline, using the second rope as a springboard! He goes for the pin...}1...!
2...!!
{...but the larger Steel pushes Jack off with ease. Jack goes right back to work, firing some hard rights and lefts as Addisyn Starr looks on with great concern for her charge. Feeling like he's got nothing left to lose, the Texan ascends the ropes, flying off the top buckles with his signature corkscrew moonsault—only to hit nothing but deck as the female “wrestler” pulled Steel out of the way! Jack sees his and immediately rolls to the outside—and right into a trap!}Vasco Dias: Wrong part of town Jack!
Terri Morasco: And this is where things get dicey!
Referee: ONE!...TWO!!...
{Jack goes right after the larger O'Buffington, but soon finds himself being kicked in the back by the much lighter Addisyn! It soon becomes a two-on-one as Starr and Steel take turns throwing rights, lefts, and stomps, beating the shit out of the Texan on the floor!}Referee: THREE!!!...FOUR!!!!...
{After being rammed into the steel steps, Jack is mercifully dumped back into the ring by Addisyn, allowing O'Buffington to get right to work and put the boots to Gaither's back. Yanking his opponent to his feet and backing him into the corner, Starr screams out “AGAIN! AGAIN!” as Steel thrusts his broad shoulders into Jack's ribs before sending him for the ride! Jack bounces off the ropes—and into a hard powerslam that crunches his back to the mat! Eventually, O'Buffington lifts Gaither high in the air before applying a crushing backbreaker—and a second one before going for the pin!}1...!
2...!!
NOPE!!!
Addisyn grits her teeth as Steel goes right back to work—but just as the big fellow attempts to go for a massive clothesline, Jack springs to life and hits the SCREECHER! Steel stumbles and bumbles around the ring, not going down as he staggers towards a waiting Jack, who hits his rival with a second Screecher! Again, O'Buffington doesn't go down, causing Jack to life him up over his head in anticipation of his patented OVERDRIVE maneuver...only to have the smaller Gaither collapse under the bigger man's weight due to his back being hurt earlier on! As Steel goes for the “pin,” Starr holds onto the foot of Jack Gaither as the zebra—unknowing of the outside shenanigans—counts!}1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
[DING-DING-DING!!!]
Vasco Dias: HA!
Terri Morasco: Gimme a break!
----------------------------------------------------------
JACK GAITHER
"Silenced"
----------------------------------------------------------
{Jack points to the departing Addisyn Starr and Steel O'Buffington, who are heading toward the back.}
Jack Gaither: This week happens to be the PRIME example of what's gone wrong with this damn company--they expect me to work against a FEMALE when IWF don't allow female vs. male one-on-one matches. And the sad thing about it is...it all boils down to a troika—three men who've taken it upon themselves to bury me at every single opportunity I get. Why? It's 'cuz I ain't a member of their establishment...which dates back to a time when a certain organization before IWF was goin' full blast. Ya see...guys like Mike Laszlo, Jake Conway, and Roberto Verona come from that other organization, and it's because of this fact that I've got to sit there and put my keyster on the line...against the likes of a tomboy and her love slave where I SHOULD be right up at the top, fightin' against the corporate troika that I'd like to call “the establishment.”
{The fans boo the trio of Laszlo, Conway, and Verona.}Jack Gaither: The establishment has done nothin' except hold me back and prevent me from doin' the things I gotta do in order to accomplish my biggest dream—becomin' Imperial champ. But...the powers-that-be, as it turns out, ain't immortal. They make mistakes just like me, and one of those errors is quite simple in nature. They give me...a LIVE microphone on Monday Night Sacrifice!
{The crowd begins to murmur in anticipation of what Jack is about to say next.}Terri Morasco: Oh, my...
Vasco Dias: Uh-oh!
Jack Gaither: So tonight, in this squared circle, I'm gonna do somethin' that I haven't done in my eight years of bein' in this business, and that, my friends, is sit here and do a l'il shootin' with you. I ain't got no damn scriptwriters or producers in the back tellin' me what I can and can't say--'cuz this is comin' straight from my heart, and that's the way it's gonna be!
{The fans cheer as Jack points to his heart.}Jack Gaither: Now Mike Laszlo, y'all know 'im, right? He made Angel Blake cry “uncle” for the IWF title—that I won't dispute, but what I find really funny is that the guy is billed as one of this organization's top talents when, in all actuality, he was nothin' more than a mid-carder on his best days witht hat trophy 'round his shoulders. Hell, I look at Alex Jones—a man who I despise on a professional scheme due to his arrogance and all that shit—and I say this. Deep down in my very soul, and despite the fact that Mr. Jones ended up becomin' hitched to a talentless whore born with a silver dick up her ass...
{The crowd goes apeshit over the remark against Hall of Famer Ana Valentine-Jones.}Fans: HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT!!!
{Jack ekes out a sly smirk as the gallery quiets down.}Jack Gaither: Despite his choice of women, deep down I respect Alex Jones as a person—for HE was the one man I looked up to when I signed my IWF contract late in 2014, NOT Spike Kane. On the other hand, Mike Laszlo, as far as I'm concerned, couldn't wash Alex Jones's jockstrap on any given day when it came to wrasslin, and that's all I'm gonna say about him!
{The fans go wild again as Jack says "that was from the heart, not from a writin' team!"}Jack Gaither: Jake Conway? Now Jake, before him and Kathy got together, was a bit of a ladies' man back in the old days, even before IWF sprang off from that other organization. All of a sudden, he's bein' pushed toward the top of the card within IWF circles, but in the grand scheme of things, he never had the desire to push himself above the mid-carders of this company. Why, some might ask? The reason's real simple: now that him and Kathy are hitched, Jake Conway...acts like nothin' more than a l'il chihuahua mix who ain't got his balls but would rather run to the end of his chain and bark like a rottweiler! And it's all 'cuz...he' rather hang with his best friend and closest confidante, Roberto Davide de Verona...
Terri Morasco: Hoo-boy, this has gotten deep...
Vasco Dias: Wow, somebody cut his mike off...
Jack Gaither: That's right, Roberto...I went there. I ain't gonna be talkin' about you as Jack Gaither; rather I'm doin' so...as John Wayne Mathias Gaither.
{The crowd cheers for Jack dropping his actual name on the air.}Jack Gaither: Roberto...what makes you think of yourself as such a great wrassler in the IWF, huh? What makes an Italian like yourself think that you're such a great champion? Well I'll tell ya what...if ya WERE such a great champion, you'd defend that belt against REAL competition and not stiffs like Mike Laszlo or Jake Conway—your corporate pets.
Fans: OOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Jack Gaither: Lemme take it one step further...what makes YOU think you're such a great IWF owner? If you were, then you'd probably do somethin' about the countless numbers of talented folks—like Tristan “Nighthawk” McDaniel, a man I cherish in this gig as my brother-in-arms—who left your graces to greener pastures. The ONLY reason why I haven't bolted out the door myself is 'cuz I've always considered myself a "company guy." I've been LOYAL to this business for eight goddamn years, where week in and week out, I've done nothin' but respect the piss outta guys like Jake Keeton or, hell, even Spike Kane ever since I set foot in an IWF hallway a year-and-a-half ago. I've busted my ass and left EVERYTHING on the table, regardless of how results might've turned out...for nothin'. No praise, no “thanks for a good showin',” none of it. And that's pissed me off to no end. But as for you and your two stooges? People like you, Mike, and Jake Conway...they are cancers to this wrasslin' gig--a gig I've striven to uphold and cherish for nearly a decade.
{Jack nods his head as he listens to the applause.}Jack Gaither: Conway, Laszlo, and Verona...you three have zero respect for the hard-workin' individual like myself, those who put their keysters on the line every week, for one simple fact: I didn't come from YOUR establishment...I didn't come from that other organization...I didn't come from New Championship Wrestling!
{Jack smiles from ear to ear as the crowd roars with approval.}Jack Gaither: So right here, right now, in this very ring...I'm gonna tell the whole world what it feels like to be a non-NCW guy in the Imperial Wrestling Federation. Now, before I...
{Jack continues speaking for a moment before realizing that his microphone has been cut off. The Texan marches around the ring, slamming his stick on the deck and kicking his chair off to the side as the crowd boos the backstage folks who silenced him!}----------------------------------------------------------

”An Issued Challenge”

{The camera cuts to the back where Tiffany Jones is standing with a microphone in her hand. }Tiffany Jones: Joining me at this time...Ryan Shane!
{Shane enters the frame. He is dressed to compete and has a serious look on his face. }Tiffany Jones: Ryan, at High Stakes you lost a hard fought battle against your mentor Jake Keeton. How are you feeling?
Ryan Shane: Not great Tiffany...I gave it all I had and at the end of the day Jake was the better man. I respect what he did in the ring. Things between the two of us are better than they have been in years.
Tiffany Jones: On to the Roulette. You entered at number eleven and lasted until the final four.
Ryan Shane: But I didn't win it. I eliminated five men, tied for the most. All of that doesn't mean much when you lose the match. I do want to thank the fans though. They let me feel something I hadn't in a long time.
Tiffany Jones: They really did show you support out there. Do you think they will be behind you tonight as you and Zasshu take on Jake Conway and Mike Laszlo.
Ryan Shane: I don't know. It could have been a one time thing. All I know is that I am going to give it my all in there tonight. I want to beat Laszlo and Conway. But I know better than anyone, you can't just beat someone because you want to.
{Tiffany shakes her head in agreement. }Ryan Shane: I would like to address some things I heard this week from Laura Howlett. It seems she doesn't think so highly of me. I believe she said I wasn't worth my weight in gold. I find the word choice interesting. Now I don't know what the Man of Steel title is made of, but where I'm from gold equals championships.
Ryan Shane: That being said...why don't Laura Howlett and Zasshu let me test that theory. Right here, right now...I'm challenging Zasshu for the Man of Steel championship!
Tiffany Jones: Are you sure that's a good idea?
Ryan Shane: No...but screw it. I want to make my mark and what better way to do it?
{Ryan Shane walks off as the camera cuts away.}----------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Ryan Shane and Zasshu Vs Mike Laszlo and Jake Conway
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall…
{"Victim" by Eighteen Visions begins to play throughout the arena. The entrance ramp is dimly lit as the figure of Ryan Shane makes his way out from behind the curtain. Pyro goes off as Shane makes his way to the ring as the fans erupt in a mixture if cheers and boos. As he gets to the ring he hops onto the apron and enters. Once in the ring and then stands he raises his hands high to the continued mixed reaction of the crowd.}Alison Valance: From Allen Park, Michigan, weighing in at 210 pounds...RYAN...SHAAAANE!!!
Terri Morasco: He had an impressive match against Jake Keeton at High Stakes.
Vasco Dias: I don’t see what was so impressive...he lost.
Alison Valance: And his partner…
{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 boos from the crowd. He lands in a crouched position and looks all around before standing up ripping the Man of Steel Championship off from around his waist and throwing it up in the air over his head. Laura Howlett marches out from the back and walks beside Zasshu as they head toward the ring. Zasshu sprints ahead of her and springs off a trampoline over the top rope and front flipping before landing on his feet, the Man of Steel Championship still being held up over his head as Laura Howlett claps from the outside.}Alison Valance: Lead to the ring by his advocate Laura, from Mexico City, Mexico, weighing in at 190 pounds, he is the current Man of Steel Champion...ZASSHUUUU!!!
Terri Morasco: He came away from High Stakes as still the champion.
Vasco Dias: That he did, and perhaps he shut that loudmouth Brooks up for a little bit.
Alison Valance: And their opponents…
{"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system, Mike Laszlo walking out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a negative reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who boo, a grin comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a confident walk, ignoring the outstretched hands of some fans along the isle, Alexis by his side holding his other hand.}Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Caffrey, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds, he is the 2015 Joker In The Pack Winner…MIKE LASZLOOOOO!
{The two get to the end of the ramp before Mike lifts Alexis onto the apron. She enters the ring as Mike rolls in under the bottom rope. He climbs the outside ropes to the top rope in the corner nearest the entrance ramp and poses for the crowd amassing a magnitude of booing. He jumps down and goes to the opposite corner and does the same, garnering the same reaction. With a sly grin on his face he jumps down and backs into the corner, clasping his hands together and twirling his wrists as he gets ready for the match.}Terri Morasco: I don’t know how this man is standing after the fall he and Rob took at High Stakes.
Vasco Dias: Because he’s a MAN Terri. He can take pain just as well as he can dish it out, and at High Stakes, he dished out just a little bit more.
Terri Morasco: He did, and with the aide of his wife, he was able to answer the ten count, and Rob Diamond was not, putting a potential end to a great rivalry.
Alison Valance: And his partner…
{The lights in the arena dim with the opening chords and then start to flash red, blue and white in rotation as the guitar riff kicks in, joined by the drums. Then the lyrics to "Brotherhood Of Man" by Motorhead begin and the circular steel platform that The Ace is stood upon with his back towards us and the Union Jack Flag draped across his shoulders, begins to turn. The platform is decorated to look like a roulette wheel. Slowly it spins a full one-eighty degrees and we now see The Ace facing us as Kathy Conway is on a single bended knee on the right side of the stage. Cards begin to fall from the rafters. Kathy offers him her hand and The Ace waits a moment before stepping off the platform and grasping the hand of his wife, who is carrying his signature steel rake in her other hand.
The couple proudly walk through the shower of falling cards, hand in hand. At the foot of the ramp, the cards stop falling as the couple share a passionate kiss. The Ace then confidently struts over to the steel steps as Kathy remains at ringside, armed. The Ace climbs the steel steps towards the ropes and steps through them. He walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing the second rope. He raises both arms in the air. The Ace then climbs down, handing the flag over to a stage hand beforeand he walks to the middle of the ring, the lights return to normal…}Alison Valance: Accompanied to the ring by the Head of the Diamonds Divison Kat Conway, from Birmingham, England, now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 260 pounds, he is the 2016 Roulette Winner...JAKE…”THE ACE”...CONWAAAAY!!!
Terri Morasco: He did exactly what he said he was going to do at High Stakes, then made a statement at the end of the Roulette, laying out Roberto Verona!
Vasco Dias: “The Ace” has a plan, and if I were the champ, I’d be very cautious when dealing with this matter.
{The bell rings as all the valets and wives get out of the ring. Both teams discuss strategy as Ryan Shane and Mike Laszlo are the first to start off the match.}Terri Morasco: This should be good. Both these men are highly skilled in that ring.
Vasco Dias: You’re comparing Ryan Shane to Mike Laszlo? You should shut up now.
{The two men circle the ring before locking up in the center of it. Laszlo used his 27 pound weight advantage to shove Ryan back into the corner, and just when it looks like we’re going to get a clean break, Mike slaps Ryan across the face.}Terri Morasco: What a blatant show of disrespect!
Vasco Dias: And what exactly should Mike respect? What did Shane do at High Stakes other than fail?
{Laszlo backs out with a grin on his face as Ryan holds his jaw. The two men lock up in the center again, this time it’s Ryan who goes behind Laszlo with a waistlock but quickly releases to smack Mike in the back of the head. Mike turns angered as Ryan laughs.}Vasco Dias: Now THAT is disrespectful.
Terri Morasco: Turnabout is fair play.
Vasco Dias: Who the hell asked you?
{Mike charges in but is taken down by Ryan and a Side Headlock Takedown. Ryan wrenches in on Mike’s neck, but being so early in the match there wasn’t much chance of him holding him down as Mike gets to his feet and shoots Ryan into the ropes. Mike goes for a Clothesline but Ryan ducks and bounces off the ropes again. As Mike turns, Ryan leaps into the air looking for a Running Knee Lift, but Mike grabs hold of his ankle while ducking and pulls it back, hyperextending the knee of Shane while slamming him into the mat face-first.}Terri Morasco: He could have injured his leg right there!
Vasco Dias: Brilliant counter.
{Mike now targets the knee, grabbing Shane by the ankle and lifting him into the air before driving his knee into the mat. Shane rolls around, clutching at his knee, obviously in pain. Mike waits for him to get up with the help of the ropes before slamming into the back of his knee with a Chop Block!}Vasco Dias: This is Grade A technical wrestling. Mike has created a weakness and is now exploiting it.
{Mike grabs Shane by his bad leg and pulls him back into the corner where “The Ace” tags himself in, slapping the back of Laszlo who continues to hold the leg as Ace shows off his athleticism and pulls himself over the top rope with a leap and right down on the leg of Ryan who screams in agony.}Terri Morasco: This doesn’t look good for Shane.
Vasco Dias: These two are working as if they were Tag Team Champions...if only we had those belts still.
{Ace grabs hold of the bad leg and drops back with a flat foot DDT, sending a surge throughout the leg, making it even more painful for Shane. Ace is quick to his feet, still with the bad leg in hand before executing a Spinning Toe Hold and crossing the legs, falling back into a Figure Four Leglock!}Terri Morasco: The Figure Four!
Vasco Dias: It’s over...ring the bell.
{Shane screams in pain while trying to pull his and Ace’s weight toward the ropes. He falls back, stretching for the ropes, both his shoulders down and the referee counting the pinfall…
1!
2!!
Ryan sits up and stares into the eyes of Conway who gets a little worried as the adrenaline pumps through Ryan’s veigns. After more fights with pain, Ryan swings his whole body over, REVERSING THE PRESSURE ONTO THE LEGS OF THE ACE!}Terri Morasco: Look at this!
Vasco Dias: He’s doing damage to the legs of one of the best in the business. STOP HIM REF!
{The hold doesn’t last too long though as Ace reaches out and is able to make it to the ropes. The referee untangles the legs of the combatants as both are slow to their respective feet with Shane tagging in Zasshu.}Terri Morasco: In comes the Man of Steel.
Vasco Dias: Look out.
{Zasshu springs up onto the top rope and leaps off, spinning through the air with a Twisting Elbow to the chest of Jake, taking the Roulette winner down. Zasshu then runs to the ropes and as Ace is getting up, takes him back down with a Spinning Wheel Kick, Ace rolling to the outside to slow the momentum.}Terri Morasco: Looks like Ace may need a breather here.
Vasco Dias: He’s slowing momentum. It’s brilliant strategy.
{Ace walks over to Kathy who is forced to dive out of the way as Zasshu flies through the ropes with a Suicide Dive sending Ace into the table at ringside. As Zasshu gets to his feet, he’s met with a stomp to the back of the head by Laszlo on the apron. Zasshu goes to respond when he’s grabbed from behind and launched over the table by Conway who rolls into the ring, now truly able to get a breath as Zasshu struggles around the table, the referee up to four in his count. Zasshu crawls to the ring as the referee hits five and then six.}Terri Morasco: I don’t know if he can make it back in!?
Vasco Dias: He’s better off.
{Zasshu starts clawing at the ring skirt while the referee gets to eight, and nine before he slides into the ring. Ace leaps in the air and tries to plant him with a FameAcer but Zasshu pulls himself out of harm's way under the bottom rope. Ace lands hard and Zasshu springs up to the top, leaping off, hitting Ace with a Seated Senton, hooking the leg for the cover only to get a two count.}Terri Morasco: Close on that pin attempt.
Vasco Dias: Close is only good when it involved horseshoes and hand grenades.
{Zasshu is to his feet as Ace gets up to his knees, only to be driven face first into the mat with a Hurrican-DDT}Terri Morasco: What a move by Zasshu.
Vasco Dias: This is nerve racking.
{The Man of Steel covers the Roulette winner but only gets a two before Laszlo breaks up the cover. The referee forces him out of the ring as the two legal men get to their feet, trading blows before Ace hits Zasshu with a hard knee to the gut and throws him into the steel post shoulder-first.}Terri Morasco: Desperate measures?
Vasco Dias: More like separated shoulder.
{Ace pulls Zasshu out of the corner and hits a picture perfect Spinout Powerbomb, hooking the leg, only to have Shane interfere with the pin attempt as it got to two. The referee forces him out as Ace pulls Zasshu into the corner and tags in Laszlo.}Vasco Dias: Now to show the man respect. After all, it’s Laszlo who got Zasshu that Man of Steel Title.
Terri Morasco: But Zasshu has defended it since, though under questionable circumstances…
{Laszlo pulls Zasshu to his feet and hits a German Suplex, keeping the hands locked and turning into a second. He turns again and throws Zasshu overhead, but somehow the masked man manages to land on his feet. Laszlo gets up as Zasshu charges, leaping in the air, grabbing him by the head and planting him with a Tornado DDT!!!}Terri Morasco: An opening created by the quickness of Zasshu.
Vasco Dias: Does he have enough to make it to the corner?
{Mike hasn’t moved as Zasshu crawls to his corner, reaching out and making the tag to Shane as Mike gets to his feet, only to be taken down by a Charging Lariat. Mike goes down but gets back up, only to be taken down again. Again Mike pops up only to be hit by a series of strikes Shane calls the “Southpaw Shuffle”, the last shot a Discus Punch that doesn’t send Laszlo down, but spins him around where Shane hits a LUNG BLOWER BACKBREAKER!}Terri Morasco: SOMEDAY SNAP!
Vasco Dias: Out of nowhere!
{Shane goes for the cover and hooks the leg but only gets a two count before the Ace saves the match. Zasshu comes flying in with a crossbody that takes both men over the top rope. The referee is dealing with them as Shane gets to his feet, distracted by the action on the outside. Mike is on his knees behind Shane and hits him with a Uppercut Style Low Blow. Shane doubles over as Mike gets to his feet, spinning him around and lifting him up for the MALICIOUS INTENT!}Terri Morasco: Not like this…
Vasco Dias: Like what? He hit him with the Malicious Intent...it’s all over.
{Alexis gets the referee’s attention who turns and slides into position…
1!
2!!
3!!!
The bell rings as Zasshu realizes what’s happened, as does the Ace who backs away with no more reason to fight.}Alison Valance: Here are your winners, the team of Mike Laszlo and Jake “THE ACE” CONWAAAAY!!
{“Cult of Personality” plays as Ace, Kathy, and Alexis get into the ring and celebrate with Mike. The two shake hands as Zasshu and Laura look on at Shane in the center of the ring.}----------------------------------------------------------
HARDCORE TORNADO TAG TEAM MATCH
Rob Diamond and Derek Brooks vs Warren Kane and Jayson Matthews
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Are you ready... For this main event Vasco?
Vasco Dias: Am I ready to see Rob Diamond come up short for the second week in a row? ABSOLUTELY!
Terri Morasco: Come up short? He hardly came up short. He fought a damn grueling match with Mike Laszlo and nearly won. If it wasn't for Alexis Caffrey both men would have been down for the count.
Vasco Dias: Make all the excuses you want, he still lost the last man standing and went on to lose the Roulette.
Terri Morasco: I wouldn't say he lost there either, technically he eliminated himself and if I remember correctly Verona said-
Vasco Dias: Fact of the matter is we've got Rob Diamond teaming up with a future franchise player against two of his little lover buddies in an xtreme rules tornado tag and with any luck one of his "friends" will end his career.
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 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 marches over to the ropes and steps up on the second rope with both fists held up over his head. }{The synthesized beginning of "Remember The Name" by Fort Minor begins to play as the crowd grows silent.}YOU READYYYY!?
LET'S GO!
{The beat breaks in and the strobe lights around the arena go with said beat as the crowd begins to amp up.}"This is ten percent luck..."
{As the lyrics begin a single spotlight shines on the man known as "Greatness" before he glances over his shoulder, staring down at the ring. With a concentrated look he slowly turns and starts down to the ring as he's announced.}Alison Valance: From New York City, weighing in at 265 pounds, he is "Greatness Personified"...DEREK BROOKS!
{He holds out his arms at the end of the walkway as his name echoes throughout the arena as the fans cheer him on. He climbs the stairs and walks along the apron to the corner where he ascends and looks out to the crowd before flinging his arm in the air much to their appease. He jumps down and steps through the ropes, walking to the center, bouncing around, light as a cat despite his large frame as he gazes out to the crowd before snapping around, climbing the corner and flinging his arm in the air again as the flashbulbs go off everywhere. He jumps down and continues bouncing from one foot to the other in a graceful manner as he waits for the match to begin.}Terri Morasco: Think and say whatever you want Vasco, Rob Diamond showed the world what he was made of last week, he may not of won but he proved that he is unkillable. And Derek Brooks put on a hell of a match with Zasshu and damn near became the man of steel champion.
Vasco Dias: Damn near is the key word, look I'm not denying the kids talented but he needs to watch his mouth and who he picks fights with in IWF.
{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.}{ The lights in the arena turn orange as the opening sounds and riffs of the guitar play.
“LET'S ROCK”
The guitar starts jamming and Jayson Matthews comes out with all his entrance gear and starts rocking out and head banging to the guitar and trying to hype up the fans. He runs to both sides of the entrance ramp and and then runs down to the ring and slides into the ring, he head bangs some more then shakes the ropes as hard as he can and then climbs the turnbuckle head bangs a bit more and then climbs down and waits for his opponent. }Vasco Dias: I've got to be honest here, Jayson Matthews is on borrowed time with that Invictus Championship.
Terri Morasco: He's been a fighting champion, he may not win every match he's in but-
Vasco Dias: Why do you make excuses for losers?
Terri Morasco: Because there is more to wrestling than just winning or losing and the men in the ring understand that. They're out here to perform for the fans, to put on a good show and to help them forget about the awful things out in the world for two hours a week.
Vasco Dias: That... Is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Winning and losing is all this sport is about and if you're not here to win then you should just get the hell out!
{ All four men stand in the ring staring each other down, Rob looks to Derek and to Rob the two of them exchanging nods. Warren looks to Jayson and Jayson to Warren, the two of them bumping fists as the referee calls for the bell and all four men explode in the center of the ring with a flurry of punches. Rob pairs off with Warren and Derek with Jayson, the fists flying and the crowd going crazy as both teams look to gain the upper hand. }Terri Morasco: We're starting this one off with a bang!
Vasco Dias: They're already tearing each other apart, some friends!
{ Derek sends Jayson flying up and over the top rope with a wicked right upper cut, Jayson crashes down on the apron before rolling onto the arena floor, Derek following him to the outside. Rob and Warren are still exchanging punches, neither man getting the upper hand on the other as the crowd is going insane with "INFAMOUS!" chants. On the outside Derek pulls Jayson to his feet and runs him down the side of the ring and throws him hard into the crowd barrier as the referee just watches this car wreck helplessly. Rob nails Warren with a knee strike that stops the flurry of punches and throws him hard into the ropes, he looks for the Nagasaki Atomic Drop but Warren connects with a leaping knee to the face of Rob. }Terri Morasco: Rob and Warren have been training together for almost year, these two know each other too damn well.
Vasco Dias: They do, it's just a shamne Warren isn't more like his father and looking to end Rob Diamond once and for all.
{ Jayson is clawing his way up the crowd barrier while Derek shoots some ladies in the crowd an award winning smile before helping Jayson up withhis left hand and then cracking him hard across the chest with his right in a knife edge chop. Back in the ring Warren drives Rob back into the cornr with a shoulder elbow lock up. Warren connects with some knee strikes in the corner and a step up enzugiri before taking Rob over onto his back with a snap mare. Derek Brooks walks Jayson down in front of the announce tables and throws him hard into the opposing crowd barrier, fans pat him on the shoulder as Derek Brooks looks to clothes line him over the barrier but Jayson suddenly rolls backwards over the barrier and Derek runs right into the barrier. }Terri Morasco: Jayson utilizing his speed!
Vasco Dias: Speed is about the only thing he brings to the table.
{ In the ring Warren puts Rob into a rear chin lock and torques his neck. On the outside Jayson hits Derek with a spinning back fist then drops back to super kick him hard in the face. Derek stumbles backward and Jayson hops up onto the barrier and then leaps off and takes Drek down with a tornado ddt. In the ring Rob starts to fight his way back to his feet and lands several hard elbows to his mid section. Rob breaks the hold and runs across the ring, hits the ropes and comes back with a hard SPEAR on Warren Kane! Rob quickly goes for the pin, Jayson sees this and slides in as the referee hits ONE! Derek Brooks grabs the leg of Jayson Matthews and rips him back out of the ring hard where he hits the padded floor face first, TWO! The ref's hand comes down for three but Warren Kane kicks out. }Terri Morasco: Warren was caught off guard with that Spear but he was able to get the shoulder up.
Vasco Dias: If there is one thing I can say about Warren Kane it's that he's tougher than he looks.
{ Rob peels Warren up off the mat but Warren catches him with a deep arm drag take down. Rob tries to get right up but Warren leaps into the air and takes Rob down with another deep arm drag that sends Rob flipping across the ring. Warren nips up to a big pop from the crowd and fires off a crotch chop at his friend Rob Diamond, Rob looks up at him with a grin. }Terri Morasco: A nice friendly game of one upsmanship.
Vasco Dias: I can't see this staying friendly for long.
{ Outside Derek Brooks pulls Jayson up off the mat and drives him hard intot he ring post and then connects with another knife edge chop. Brooks grabs him around the waist, checks behind himself and then throws Jayson Matthews with an over head belly to belly release suplex sending him back first onto the top of the announce table! }Terri Morasco: WOAH!
Vasco Dias: Time to move!

Rob throws his hands up and yells "SUCK IT!" before hitting a massive crotch chp to a huge pop from the crowd and running across the ring where he hits Warren Kane with a Bronco Buster! Derek Brooks climbs on top of the annouce table, throwing things out of his way as he does, he pulls Jayson Matthews up to his feet, under hooks him and looks for The Display of Greatness but as he lifts him up off is feet Jayson Matthews wraps his arm around the neck of Derek and throws the weight of his body to pull him down into a snap DDT RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE!!! }Terri Morasco: Matthews put him through the table!
Vasco Dias: But how much damage did he cause himself!?
Terri Morasco: More than he probably would have liked too!
{ Rob is off of Warren Kane and looks to the outside where he sees the destruction, Rob looks back to Warren Kane who comes flying out of the corner with a flying forearm smash, he quickly turns on his heels and fires off a right hook to the face of his friend Rob Diamond, Warren whips Rob across the ring into the corner and hits another quick crotch chop before running across the ring and hitting Rob with the EAT IT KICK!!! Warren quickly grabs him, turns him around and hits the SPLODER SUPLEX INTO THE CORNER! }Terri Morasco: SPLODER SUPLEX!
Vasco Dias: I love seeing Rob Diamond get the crap kicked out of him!
{ Warren pulls him out of the corner and goes for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: He almost had him!
Vasco Dias: Looked like three to me but I'm not a referee.
{ Warren shakes his head as he pushes himself back to his feet. On the outside Jayson Matthews starts to pull himself out of the rubble and crawls away from Derek and toward the ring. Warren is up on his feet and starts to beg Rob to get back up too. Rob is slow to stand and as he reaches his feet Warren kicks him right in the gut and looks for Thunderstruck but Rob catches him and lifts him up off his feet and hits the Nagasaki Atomic drop!

Vasco Dias: This is why I hate xtreme rules matches!
{ Brooks raises the chair up again and wails Jayson over the back with it for the second time, then a third time and finaly a fourth. He smiles to himself and tosses the chair aside just as Warren comes off the ropes with a running boot to the side of the head and swinging neck breaker to follow it up! }Terri Morasco: Warren Kane connecting with that kick from out of nowhere!
Vasco Dias: He's almost as crafty as his old man!

Vasco Dias: Jesus...
{ Brooks hooks his leg and looks for the three. ONE! TWO! Matthews drops a double axe handle on Brooks to disrupt the count! Jayson starts going insane with punches to the back of Derek Brooks and over the back of his head as the referee pretty much continues to be a spectator. }Terri Morasco: Looks like Jayson Matthews has finaly lost it in there.
Vasco Dias: It was only a matter of time before the pressure got to him.
{ Jayson pops up to his feet and begs Brooks to get back up, slowly he does, Brooks launches himself at Matthews with a clothesline but Matthews fires off the Jayson Matthews Experience spinning kick to the head of Derek Brooks!

Rob pulls himself up to his feet and Warren flies through the ropes a crashes into Rob with a dive that sends both men crashing into the crowd barrier! }Terri Morasco: You'd think two best friends would go easy on each other but that isn't the case with Rob and Warren.
Vasco Dias: As long as one of them is carried out of the arena then I'll be happy.

Vasco Dias: No clue.
{ Rob and Brooks hold each other's arms up before Rob turns to Jayson and helps him up off his feet, patting him on the back. The referee whispers to Alison who then raises the mic. }Alison Valance: Your winners of the match.. ROB DIAMOND AND DEREK BROOKS!!!! And...

Terri Morasco: But... But this wasn't a sanctioned match for the belt!
Vasco Dias: Anytime the invictus champion is pinned it's a sanctioned match!
{ Rob tries to argue with the referee but the referee isn't listening and instead raises his and Derek's hand. Jayson's jaw is on the ground as Rob tries to plead with him but Jayson doesn't want to hear it as he drops down and rolls out of the ring, storming to the back. Rob looks to Warren who just shakes his head at him as if this was part of a bigger plan. }Vasco Dias: Brooks and Diamond pick up the win here and Rob Diamond is the new InVictus Champion, truly anything can happen on Monday Night Sacrifice.
Terri Morasco: Yeah, anything... Like Roberto Verona finding a way to put a wedge between Rob Diamond and his friends.
Vasco Dias: You think everything is a conspiracy.
Terri Morasco: Yeah, this time I do!
Vasco Dias: Get a tin foil hat.
{ Brooks shrugs is shoulders as Rob is left in the ring alone with the InVictus Championship and a deep scowl on his face. He turns the the referee again and yells at him "Who was in the ear piece!?"
