SEGMENT
”I had a date.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ We open backstage with Rob Diamond and Warren Kane in the middle of a heated exchange, Warren keeps jabbing the Invictus Championship with his index finger as Rob tries to defend himself. }Rob: You can't honestly believe I planned this!?
Warren: I already told you I don't know what to believe Rob! You're supposed to be my best friend, a freaking hero but then last week-
Rob: Last week Roberto pulled some bullshit and put this belt on me!
Warren: Oh yeah, after everything he did to get the MOS off of you he just gift wrapped you another belt?
Rob: A belt I literally have to defend every moment of every day! He's trying to keep me away from him!
{ Warren just rolls his eyes at Rob. }Rob: Dude! This is a set up and you know it! He's already got Jayson gunning for me, I'm sure Cyrus wants a piece and every other person on the roster!
Warren: Look, I want to believe you but...
Rob: But what!?
Warren: You've done some things, Rob, some real bad thing in your career...
Rob: I'm not that person anymore, man!
{ Warren looks dejected, confused but most of all hurt because he doesn't believe his friend. }Warren: Look-
{ But before he can continue the door to their locker room suddenly swings open, both men turn ready for a fight but both of them stop dead in their tracks, jaws dropped when they see who is standing in the door. Rob's face goes into shock but then he smiles and we think Rob's finally turned back to the dark side. Warrens face goes from shocked to a friendly smile as the camera turns to see Nighthawk standing there, in a 3-piece herringbone suit. }
Nighthawk: I had a date.
{ The three men embrace in a hug in the locker room as Nighthawk starts talking them both down. Fade to black. }----------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCHJake Keeton & Ryan Shane vs JJ Biggs &
?
----------------------------------------------------------
The following contest is a tag team contest set for one fall. Introducing first from Allen Park, MI… RYAN SHANE!
{"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.}Terri Morasco: Ryan Shane is ready for tag team action tonight but you know he has to be on the lookout for another sneak attack by the Man of Steel Champion Zasshu.
Vasco Dias: Zasshu has better things to do.
Alison Valance: Introducing next, his tag team partner hailing from Lexington, KY… “THE MODERN DAY OUTLAW” JAKE KEETON!
{The lights dim, a hush fills the arena and cheers billow from the crowd as "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Charm City Devils hits the PA. Jake Keeton slowly emerges through the curtains with his full attention focused on the upcoming match. He walks down the ramp barely acknowledging the rabidly cheering fans as he steps into the ring and begins to stretch.}Terri Morasco: This man is focused and he wants to get his hands on JJ Biggs!
Vasco Dias: Just as long as Biggs stays in the ring and away from the announce desk I’m happy.
{Alison doesn’t even get a chance to do the next introduction as "Voices" by Disturbed hits the speaker system, which is met with a chorus of boos from the crowd. The curtain brushes aside and "The Featured Attraction" JJ Biggs and a smaller man wearing generic wrestling trucks, black boots and a zip up hoodie with the hood covering his face walk out onto the stage together. Biggs stands there for a moment looking amongst the crowd with a cocky smile plastered on his face. Moments later, he extends his arms out to the side and massive pyrotechnics go off around him. The pair proceed down the ramp, reaching the ring and climbing onto the apron. They enter the ring one at a time through the middle rope and JJ proceeds towards the side of the ring and extends his arms out once again, which is met with even more boos. The hooded man just remains in the corner bouncing on his heels. Biggs smirks as he takes off his shirt and acts as if he's going to throw it into the crowd, but instead he tosses it into the corner.}Terri Morasco: I have no idea who this hooded figure is that JJ Biggs has with him but Biggs seems even more cocky than normal.
Vasco Dias: Your guess is as good as mine Terri.
{JJ leans over the top rope and asks for a microphone from ringside. He steps towards the center of the ring as Keeton and Shane stand patiently in their corner. Just as Biggs is about to speak the hooded man steps forward and Biggs hands him the microphone with a huge smirk. The man unzips the hoodie revealing a chiseled frame before he pulls the hood back and a collective gasp is heard from the crowd and all the color drains from the face of Jake Keeton.}Terri Morasco: THAT’S JC KEETON!
Vasco Dias: That’s a hell of a swerve.
Terri Morasco: I’m in complete shock. Jake Keeton’s 19 year old son is one of his opponents. Any long time fan of Jake Keeton’s has watched this young man grow up in front of our eyes.
{JJ Biggs laughs hysterically at the look of complete despair on the face of The Modern Day Outlaw as the fans boo like crazy. JC Keeton raises the microphone to his lips and begins to speak.}JC Keeton: The last time I stood in a wrestling ring with a microphone in my hand was to induct my Dad into the PWA Hall of Fame when I was 12. Here we are 7 years later and we’re opponents.
{Jake steps forward but JC holds his hand out to stops him.}JC Keeton: Let me finish! Being a wrestler like you is all I ever wanted Dad. You wouldn’t teach me though so I found someone, or should I say someone found me, who was glad to do it and for the last year he’s been flying back and forth from Miami to Kentucky to give me private training so that I can be better than you one day.
{JC drops the mic and yells “Ring the bell!”}Terri Morasco: I don’t think JC Keeton understands that JJ Biggs is using him to get in his father’s head.
Vasco Dias: You don’t know that, JJ could have just saw a kid with a thirst for knowledge and offered to teach him.
Terri Morasco: You don’t believe that do you?
Vasco Dias: No but it sounded good.
{Ryan Shane is trying to calm Jake Keeton down as they discuss a strategy for the match while JJ Biggs instructs JC Keeton to step out on the apron. When Jake sees that JJ is starting the match he insists that he start the match for his team. The bell sounds.}DING DING DING
{As soon as the bell rings Biggs tags out to JC who springs over the top rope and into the ring. Shane, sensing Jake’s reluctance to do battle with his own son slaps Jake on the back to tag himself into the match. The elder Keeton steps out onto the apron as Shane comes in and JC goes right at him initiating a collar and elbow tie up. The veteran Shane quickly snatches his young opponent into a standing side headlock. JC fires a few punches to the gut of Ryan before pushing him off and sending him into the ropes, on the rebound the younger Keeton surprises Shane with a hip toss. Ryan springs back to his feet quickly only to take a deep arm drag from JC who holds on and applies a rest hold to a stunned Ryan Shane on the mat.}Terri Morasco: JC Keeton is in control early, very basic stuff from the youngster but it is effective.
Vasco Dias: I think Ryan Shane was caught off guard.
{They work their way back to a standing position with JC still holding onto Ryan’s left arm but Shane uses his free hand to punch JC in the jaw. Jake Keeton shouts “HEY!” at Shane who just shrugs before hitting a standing Drop Kick to JC taking him to the mat. Shane waits for him to stand and hits a Snap DDT and makes the cover.}1…
2…
Terri Morasco: Kickout by JC Keeton!
{Shane gets back up and bends down to pick JC up but gets pulled to the mat in a School Boy Roll Up by Keeton.}1…
Terri Morasco: Ryan Shane kicks out at one.
{They both return to their feet and Shane whips JC into the ropes. On the rebound JC ducks a clothesline from Ryan and attempts a Swinging Neckbreaker but he botches it slightly and Shane shoves him off towards the corner where JJ Biggs tag himself into the match. Biggs steps over the top rope and stands in front of Shane with a smirk but Ryan doesn’t back down from the 7 footer and hits the ropes before launching himself at Biggs with a flying forearm but JJ just shakes it off. Shane again throws a forearm that Biggs no sells. He grabs Ryan, spins him around and hits a Release German Suplex tossing him towards his corner and Jake Keeton who makes the tag.}Terri Morasco: Here comes Jake Keeton, he’s itching to get him hands on JJ Biggs!
Vasco Dias: Probably more so after tonight.
{Jake charges at Biggs who misses a Big Boot, allowing Jake to Springboard into a Crossbody that takes Biggs down and Jake stays on him wearing his forehead out with right hands until the ref pulls him off and the fans are going nuts.}KEE-TON KEE-TON KEE-TON
{Both Keeton and Biggs get back to their feet and the smirk is gone from JJ’s face as he tries to grab the faster Jake Keeton who slips behind him and kicks him in the back of the knee dropping the big man to one knee. Jake hits the ropes and charges at Biggs leaping off his knee into a short snapping Rana that plants JJ into the mat.}Terri Morasco: Jake Keeton is all over JJ Biggs.
Vasco Dias: Good.
{Before Keeton can attack again Biggs rolls to the floor and the fans let him have it with boos. Jake Keeton shrugs and grabs the top rope before launching himself over it and onto JJ who catches him and runs him back first into the ring apron over and over and over shifting the momentum clearly into his favor. He then rolls Keeton back into the ring and follows him in before tagging JC and screaming at the youngster to “Finish him off.”}Terri Morasco: JJ Biggs just demanded that JC Keeton finish off his father after he just had to watch JJ ramp his well documented injured back into the hardest part of the ring!
Vasco Dias: The kid seems torn, he wants to win but that's his Dad.
{JC enters the ring and stands over Jake with his fists clenched but frozen in his tracks. Biggs, sensing JC’s hesitation tags himself back in and enters the ring and begins stomping away at Jake while JC does back to the corner. Biggs goes for another stomp and Keeton latches onto this ankle and quickly wraps his legs around Biggs left leg dragging Biggs to the mat with a tight knee bar and the big man screams out in agony.}Terri Morasco: JJ Biggs history of knee problems is well known in the industry and Jake Keeton has that kneebar locked in tight.
{Biggs is able to scoot towards his corner and tag JC who comes into the ring as Jake relases the kneebar. JC yells at his father to “Tag out.” allowing Jake to crawl to his corner and tag in Ryan Shane who charges JC but is planted with a Spinebuster. JC follows up by going for a 360 Leg Drop but Shane moves.}Terri Morasco: Attempting that flashy move may have cost JC Keeton.
Vasco Dias: He needs to master the basics before trying stuff like that.
{JC sits on the mat holding his tailbone for a second but is able to make it to one knee only to be caught right in the jaw by the knee of Ryan Shane who had sprung to his feet and bounced off the ropes after the failed legdrop by Keeton.}Terri Morasco: SHANING WIZARD!
Vasco Dias: Shane got all of that I think the kid is out cold.
{Ryan covers JC.}1…
2…
3….
Alison Valance: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winners the team of Ryan Shane and Jake Keeton.
{Jake immediately comes in to check on his son but doesn’t notice JJ Biggs running into the ring in time to avoid eating a Big Boot that turns The Modern Day Outlaw head over heels. Biggs then turns to Shane and tosses him over the top rope. JJ then grabs a handful of Jake’s hair and yanks him to his feet before hoisting him into the air and dropping him with a Crucifix Powerbomb.}Terri Morasco: Come on the match is over! That’s the same move he used to send Jake off the stage at High Stakes.
{Before Biggs can do any more damage Ryan Shane is back into the ring and Drop Kicks him to the floor before tending to Jake. Biggs laughs as he reaches into the ring and pulls JC out. He places the younger Keeton over his shoulder and starts backing up the ramp laughing as Jake Keeton sits up and stares daggers though him.}Terri Morasco: I don’t know what he’s so happy about he lost!
Vasco Dias: I don’t think this one was about winning for JJ Biggs, the mind games have begun Terri.
{Biggs stands at the top of the ramp and puts JC down and he stands on wobbly legs but Biggs pats him on the back and they walk through the curtains together.}----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”Good luck.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The lull of the crowd is suddenly interrupted by "Villainy Thrives" as a video package of Zasshu plays on the tron. The crowd boos viciously as the high light reel shows the many victims of the Ciesta Kick, a move that has won Zasshu more matches than lost. The package comes to an end with a final clip of Zasshu Ciesta Kicking Ryan Shane in the head last week before the music fades and we see the beautiful smiling face of Laura Howlett which brings on ever more boos. }Laura Howlett: Ladies and gentlemen what you were just privy to witness was the greatness that is my client, the Man of Steel Champion, ZASSHU!
{ A "Zasshu Sucks" chant breaks out which Laura ignores with a smile. }Laura Howlett: My client has been decimating the competition since his arrival, defeating both amateurs and legends with ease and now it seems another never was wants a shot at my client and his championship. This "man", if you can even call him that, has called out my client twice. Last week we demonstrated exactly how beneath my client this "man" is by destroying him at ring side.
{ "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" }Laura Howlett: But that wasn't enough for this "man" no, he needs another demonstration. He continues to run his ignorant mouth about my client, claiming the most idiotic things I have ever heard all the while saying he "deserves" a match for the Man of Steel Championship... Why? Why does he think he deserves a match? Because he asked for one? Well if we gave out title opportunities to everyone who asked then we would never be accomplishing anything, we'd just be defeating the same three or four idiots every single week. But I'll tell you what Ryan Shane...
{ She pauses as the mention of his name gets a big pop. }Laura Howlett: You win one match, just one match against the opponent of our choosing and we'll give you what you want at the Viewer's Choice pay per view, a Man of Steel Championship.
{ Another pop for the possibility of a championship match. }
Laura Howlett: The man we wish you to face... DEMONIO BLANCO!!!!
{ The crowd can hardly contain itself, knowing that there is a deep and mysterious history between Zasshu and Demonio Blanco. }Laura Howlett: Good luck Mr. Shane, you're going to need it.
{ With that Laura fades from the screen as we head to a commercial break. }----------------------------------------------------------
IWF SHIELDMAIDEN
SINGLES MATCH
Kate Steele (c) vs Avery Barnes
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: I've been looking forward to this match all week long, Fiona McFly taking on Kate Steele for the IWF Shieldmaiden Championship! This could potentially be the best Shieldmaiden match we've ever had.
Vasco Dias: I'm not going to sit here and lie and say either of these women do anything for me so I won't.
Terri Morasco: Can you ever be positive about anything?
Vasco Dias: If someone worth watching was about to wrestle, absolutely, someone like Eternity or Amber Richards but for these two? Call me when they beat someone of merit.
{ "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys kicks into high gear as Fiona McFly marches out on stage, takes a bow, and heads down to the ring--giving lucky fans quick pecks on the cheek along the way. }Terri Morasco: Fiona McFly has been lighting the world on fire since debuting in IWF, the ultimate underdog with the heart of gold.
Vasco Dias: Being a failure at literally everything you do makes you an underdog?
Terri Morasco: Fiona may not win every match she's in but she sure as hell tries her hardest and the fans recognize her talent and ambition even if you don't.
{ Monster by Paramore begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does Kate Steele along with her husband Todd Warren begins to emerge from the back curtain. Kate has a huge smile on her face as she stares at the roaring crowd who are all cheering her on. She begins to sprint down the aisle as she claps the hands of outstretched fans.
Kate finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd cheering her on. She closes her eyes placing a single finger over her lips offering the Shhhh sound which all the fans follow in. She takes her place in the corner afterwards waiting for the match to begin. }Vasco Dias: Look, I'll say this, at least Kate Steele isn't afraid to put someone like McFly in her place.
Terri Morasco: Kate has been impressing since joining IWF and that Shieldmaiden is only her first step, that is for sure.
{ The referee shows the both of them the belt and explains the rules of the match before handing it over to Alison Valance and calling for the bell. }Terri Morasco: Here we go!
{ Both women move out of their corners, slowly circling each other before moving in for a tie up, Kate quickly over powers Fiona and pulls her into a side head lock, transitioning into a side head lock take down and rear chin lock. }Vasco Dias: Kate showing off some of her technical prowess.
Terri Morasco: She's a strong mat wrestler, Fiona needs to keep her distance and rely on her striking ability.
{ Fiona kicks her legs to the rope and gets the break up but Steele doesn't back down as Fiona is getting to her feet. Kate grabs her from behind for a devastating release German suplex that drops Fiona on the back of her head! }Terri Morasco: Jesus...
{ Kate gets a running start and bounces off the ropes, Fiona pulls herself to her feet as Kate spring boards off the second rope and connects with a cross body on Fiona and transitions it right into a pin. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Kate nearly put Fiona away right there, McFly needs to get her act together.
Terri Morasco: She needs to get a vertical base and keep some distance between her and Kate.
{ Kate pulls Fiona to her feet but Kate quickly counters her with a deep arm drag take down. Kate tries to get to her feet quickly but Fiona is on her with a waist lock take down and starts to pound her with some vicious elbow shots while she lays on the mat. Fiona gets to her feet and lets out a yell that gets a pop from the crowd. Fiona is right on her with a round house kick followed up with a wicked right hook that sends Kate staggering into the corner. Fiona runs in after her with a forearm shot and then grabs her around the waist for a release overhead belly to back suplex! }Terri Morasco: Fiona is in control now!
Vasco Dias: If she can keep this up she may actually have a chance.
{ Kate pulls herself to her feet and Fiona charges her for a clothes line but Kate drops the shoulder and sends Fiona out onto the apron with a back body drop. Fiona lands on her feet and Fiona grabs her in the head with another forearm but as Kate stumbles around she fires off a Pele kick to a big pop that sends Fiona crashing off the apron onto the arena floor. }Vasco Dias: What a counter!
{ Kate gets a running start and bounces off the ropes, she comes flying back across the ring as Fiona pulls herself up, Kate flies through the ropes and grabs Fiona on the outside for an insane tornado ddt on the padded floor! }Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD!
Vasco Dias: That... That was amazing!
{ Kate pops back to her feet to a roar from the crowd. She rips Fiona up and throws her back into the ring, quickly following her and covering for the pin. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Are you kidding me!?
Terri Morasco: Fiona got the shoulder up!
Vasco Dias: I don't believe it.
{ Kate gets right to her feet and heads for the ropes, spring boarding off for a leg drop on Fiona, she slams her leg against the chest of Fiona several more times from the seated position and then gets off of her. She pulls Fiona up and whips her across the ring but Fiona reverse it and sends Kate into the corner. Kate explodes off the turn buckles with a running Yakuza Kick that sends Fiona flying backward into the opposing corner. Kate takes off like a bat out of hell and drop kicks Fiona hard against the turnbuckles. Kate gets right up and snap mares Fiona out of the corner and then connects with her signature float over Neckbreaker! }Vasco Dias: Kate Steele is killing her!
{ Kate goes for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Where does Fiona find the resolve!?
Terri Morasco: She's got the heart of a champion!
Vasco Dias: But no gold to prove it!
{ Kate is visibly frustrated as she gets to her feel. She grabs Fiona by the hair and rips her up to her feet but Fiona leaps into the air and catches Kate with the Sending Off Diamond Cutter!!!! }Terri Morasco: SENDING OFF!!!!
{ The crowd pops huge for Fiona but both women are flat on their backs. }Terri Morasco: Fiona has been through hell, she needs to make the cover before Kate can recover!
Vasco Dias: This could be her moment.
{ Fiona starts to move, clearly exhausted. She rolls over slowly and throws an arm over Kate Steele. The referee drops down to count and ONE! TWO! THR-KICK OUT!!! }Terri Morasco: So close!
Vasco Dias: But no three count.
{ Fiona is extremely slow to her feet as she tries to get her bearing, Kate doesn't look any better after the Sending Off. Kate spins around look for a forearm smash but Fiona blocks it and counters immediately with the IRON CLAW!!! }Terri Morasco: IRON CLAW!!!
{ Kate fights hard but she quickly starts to fall, dropping first to a knee and then to both knees as she starts to fade away. Kate starts to try and fight back so Fiona drills her with a knee to the face and quickly follows it up with a spinning heel kick to the jaw that sends Kate falling onto her back. Kate pulls herself up and Fiona grabs her for a sliding superior football take down, she mounts Kate and starts to pound her with elbow shots as the referee watches for Kate to pass out. }Terri Morasco: Fiona isn't done yet!
Vasco Dias: She may actually pull this off!
{ Fiona gets off of Kate Steele and amps herself up. Kate is slow to her feet and Fiona scoops her up onto her shoulders and drops her with the Cat O'Nine Tails!!!! }Terri Morasco: That has to be it!!!
{ Fiona looks to cover her but something catches her eye as the crowd begins to react, half cheering, half booing. Fiona looks around and Crystal Miller and Zelda Knite hop the ring barriers from opposite sides of the ring. }Terri Morasco: What the hell is Everyman's Fantasy doing here!?
Vasco Dias: I have no idea but I'm so happy to see them!
{ Fiona readies herself for battle as both women storm the ring. Fiona goes for Zelda first but Crystal cracks her over the back with an axe handle, the referee immediately calls for the bell! }Terri Morasco: It looks like Fiona wins by DQ but what the hell!?
Vasco Dias: I love these women...
{ Zelda and Cystal quickly get the upper hand and slam Fiona down onto the mat with a double hair pull. The two of them begin to viciously stomp Fiona as she lays on the mat. Zelda backs off and tells Crystal to "feed her to me." }Terri Morasco: Jesus, this is just terrible.
Vasco Dias: Amazing.
{ Crystal pulls Fiona up and throws her into Zelda for the GAME OVER! }Vasco Dias: YES!!!!
{ Kate Steele starts to get up and looks pretty smug until Crystal hauls off and punches her right in the jaw and pulls her in for THAT'S A WRAP!!! }Terri Morasco: What the hell is going on!?
Vasco Dias: Their showing all the supposed Diamonds who really runs this divison. And it ain't no Jessica Reed.
Terri Morasco: I can't believe this.
{ Zelda and Crystal stand tall as the noticeably split crowd cheers or boos them. }----------------------------------------------------------

SEGMENT
”We The People”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ We return from a commercial break to find IWF COO Roberto Verona stood in the ring, clutching a microphone in his hand. Verona stands smugly in the ring when the crowd suddenly goes into an uproar. }ARE YOU READY!?{ Jekle and Hyde kicks into high gear as Rob Diamond storms out from the back, a pissed off look on his face and the Invictus Championship swinging back and forth with each step as he heads down the ramp. Rob tosses the belt over the top rope and into the ring, rolling in after it and ripping a microphone out of stage hands hand, scooping up his championship. }
Rob: Cut the damn music!
{ Verona smirks at Rob as he raises his mic. }Roberto Verona: What do you want Rob? You seem to be developing a habit of shoving your nose where it’s not wanted.
Rob Diamond: What do I want!? I want what I am owed! You like to talk about taking what you want, seizing the moment and exploiting everything you can to achieve what you need. Well guess that asshole, I've been doing that since day one and at the Roulette you made a stupid ass stipulation that whoever eliminated me got a Imperial Title shot come Viewer's Choice! Well guess who eliminated me? ME! And now I’m entitled to a damn title shot and I won’t rest until I get what I deserve!
{ Rob gets in Roberto’s face as the pair stare one another down. }Roberto Verona: What you deserve? We could be here all night if we listed what you deser-…
{ Suddenly the PA erupts and the crowd go absolutely wild as Warren Kane marches out from behind the curtains and makes an immediate beeline for the ring. Verona and Rob look back and forth at each other as Warren rolls into the ring, collecting a mic on his way in. }Warren Kane: Cut my music!
{ The crowd cheer as Warren stares intensely at Rob and Verona. }Warren Kane: It seems to me gentlemen that the pair of you want to stand out here debating who deserves what, but you’ve forgotten something very damn important. It was me who pulled Rob Diamond off that apron, it was me who eliminated him from the Roulette, it’s me who “deserves” a shot at you and God knows after what you’ve put me through I’ve earned a chance to rub that smirk of your face with my boot.
{ The crowd cheer. )Warren Kane: I’m not here for a fucking debate, I want what’s mine. You and me, Verona. Two weeks. The Imperial Championship.
Roberto Verona: And why should I acquiesce to your demands? You say you eliminated Rob, he claims he eliminated himself. Why do you deserve an opportunity more than him? Why shouldn’t I simply overrule the clause as is my God damn right. You forget, I own you.
{ Verona points at Kane. }Roberto Verona: And you!
{ He points at Diamond as the crowd boos. }Roberto Verona: I don’t owe you or anybody else a God damn thing. If I want to sit the entire damn pay-per-view out to piss you off, I’ll do it. If I want to have you jump through hoops, climb over barbed wire only to get nothing I’ll do it.
{ The crowd boos. }Warren Kane: Than maybe, perhaps, you’re not the man you claim to be.
Rob Diamond: You claim you’re the best, you tell everybody that you made yourself an icon and you owe nobody a damn thing, yet from where I’m standing, your legacy? It’s eroding week after week.
Warren Kane: Everything you are, everything you built, your entire reputation… it’s crumbling every time you avoid proving yourself to the world. You stood toe to toe with Jake Conway and proved you’ve not lost all of that talent, yet you dodge us?
Rob Diamond: Week after week, you claim we’re not your on your level. That we don’t deserve to be in the same ring as you. How about you prove it. Want to show everybody that you are “the man”? Want to walk into Night of the Immortals having proved we’re beneath you? Fight us. Fight one of us. Fight both of us.
Warren Kane: Or is the icon hiding behind a bunch of words, proving his own “movement” is nothing more than an agenda?
{ Roberto raises the mic to his lips to respond when suddenly the PA system erupts again, this time welcoming Spike Kane and Cyrus Daniels! The crowd begins to boo as the three look down the ramp at the pair who begin to walk down towards the ring. }Spike Kane: Now hold on just a moment here…
{ The two roll into the ring. }Cyrus Daniels: I have a feeling somebody has been forgotten here.
Spike Kane: I’m hearing a damn lot about what people deserve, but not from the lips of people who have right to be spouting it. Let’s make this plain, from where I stand, I see only two people who deserve a damn sight more than they’re getting. So tell me something, why am I watching Jake Conway walk into a title match at Night of the Immortals whilst me and this guy, despite everything we have done, are left picking up the scraps? We may have lost the Roulette, but we’ve contributed a damn sight more than these two to this company in the past four months and we deman-…
{ As Spike prepares to finish his sentence the PA blows up again and the crowd goes absolutely wild… as Adam Knite and Trent Helms emerge from behind the curtains!? The crowd go absolutely nuts for the two icons as the ring stare down the ramp in confusion. }Adam Knite: Now hold on one second… it appears that this party has gotten started before the real main event arrived. Three years ago, when IWF rose from the ashes of NCW I made it clear that one day I would return and I would be here to cash in the favor you owe me Verona…
Trent Helms: And the bell just tolled! We’re here to get what we want and what we want is…
{ As Trent prepares to speak he is once again interrupted by another explosion of the PA as the crowds pops…. For Nighthawk and Desmond Thomas!? The crowd are going absolutely wild as Trent and Adam stop half way down the ramp and look back up at the pair. }Nighthawk: Did you miss me?
{The crowd pops. }Nighthawk: It seems to me that people have forgotten that I’ve been in this war since day one. I felt the full force of your wrath and was binned like I didn’t even matter two months ago. I bet you assumed that meant you’d got rid of me? Guess again. I’m here to tell you that I’m another man you can’t just walk all over, me and Desmond are here to get what we deserve and make you pay for…
{ As Nighthawk tries to finishes his sentence the speakers erupt again as Todd Williams and Teddy Steeles music blast out. The pair energetically emerge onto the stage as the increasingly large crowd of men stare back. }Teddy Steele Toddy and Teddy in the house!
Todd Wiliams: That’s right, if you are all here making demands there ain't nobody more than us who deserves more of an opportunity to prove ourselves in this company. You all know that Todd means business…
{ Todd waits for the cheap pop, which the crowd duly obliges. }Todd Williams: It’s time I got the chance to show the world what I can do.
Teddy Steele: Me too!
{ Suddenly all of the groups of men begin to argue amongst themselves as Verona, whose clearly becoming increasingly angered rolls out of the ring and bellows into his microphone. }Roberto Verona: Enough!
{ Verona stares at all of them. }Roberto Verona: You want to march out here and make demands? You want what you deserve? You want to take what you want and prove yourselves to the world? Fine. You’ve got it! At Night of the Immortals each of you will get what you desire. You want a chance to showcase yourself on the biggest stage of all? Allow me to provide the platform. You all seem to like to work together to make your demands, so how about you prove to everybody that there’s still some God damn loyalty left in this company. We’re going to have a Tag Team Invitational where one team will stand tall, one team will show the world they’ve got what it takes. The winners? You’ll both have an Imperial Championship shot at Bloody Assizes.
{ Verona stares at Rob and Warren. }Roberto Verona: As for you two? You want to embarrass yourselves before the world and see your dreams crumble? You want to give me the chance to make sure, personally, that you are nowhere near the main event of my biggest show of the year? You’re on. In two weeks, you and me, a triple threat for the Imperial Championship.
{ Verona tosses his microphone to the ground, as he looks at his two challengers. The pair return his gaze as the rest of the crowd of men begin to bicker back and forth with one another as the crowd fill the arena with noise as we cut to a short commercial break. }----------------------------------------------------------

Kayla Richards vs Shea O'Hara
----------------------------------------------------------
{The lights go out before the tron flickers to life with a flick of orange hair, before “Brick by Boring Brick” by Paramore blasts out of the PA with orange and green lights flashing wildly. Shea O’Hara barges through the curtain before standing in the middle of the stage. She lowers herself, almost squatting, before thrusting her arms into the air with the “devil horns” as a small pyro goes off behind her. She then sprints to the ring, sliding under the ropes and runs to the camera side and leans through the ropes on the second rope throwing up her “devil horns” once again.}Terri Morasco: Despite her entrance theme this girl certainly does not live in a fairy tale. She’s here to try and get back on the horse by taking on one of the fiercest Diamonds to ever step foot in IWF.
{"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 Kira who stands at ringside}Vasco Dias: And here is the woman who is going to put Shea O’Hara back on the sidelines.
{The women stand across the ring from each other and share a knowing nod between them before the referee calls for the bell and they begin to circle around the ring. Shea steps forwards for a lock up but Kayla doesn’t follow up. Instead she looks right at Shea, and screams at her to “bring it” before charging forward and swinging a huge lariat at the Irish Bombshell. Shea ducks underneath and breaks into a sprint, hitting the ropes and coming back with a diving forearm to Richards. Both women hit the mat and are back on their feet in an instant, Kayla reacts quickest and sends O’Hara across the ring with an armdrag, before following up with another, but holding onto the arm this time and landing a leg drop onto the arm locking in an armbar.}Terri Morasco: Kayla using her experience advantage over Shea in the early going here.
Vasco Dias: Will Shea disappoint Kayla again by tapping out?
{Kayla wrenches the arm and it causes Shea to cry out, just as she reaches for the ropes. Shea is just inches away before Kayla starts to wail on her with her free leg. Lifting it up and slamming it over the face and neck of the red head. Shea cries out in pain, as well as anger before she uses the attack as momentum to shift her position and roll through, with Kayla still holding her arm she roars with rage as she drags her into the air and drops her quickly with a modified powerbomb! Both women lay on the mat trying to recuperate.}Terri Morasco: Both women are pushing each other to their limits here...
Vasco Dias: Almost as if they each have something to prove to the other...
{The referee checks on both of the women before he begins his allotted ten count, as both competitors are down. One! …...Two! …...Three! ...Shea is on her knees and trying to wrangle the pain out of her arm. Four! ...Kayla blinks quickly trying to gain her bearings…..Five! …..Six! ...they both manage to get to the ropes at opposite sides of the ring and pull themselves to their feet. Kayla turns to look at Shea and stares daggers at her. Shea nods her head with grim determination before she rushes forwards, but Kayla ducks underneath her, spins her aorund and….SISTER OF MERCY!!!}Terri Morasco: SISTER OF MERCY!
Vasco Dias: Goodnight, Irene!
{Shea hits the deck like a sack of irish potatoes before Richards scrambles across the ring for the cover. The referee slides across the ring and down for the count, ONE! …..TWO! ….THRE-NOOOOO!! Somehow, some way, Shea manages to kick out with barely a millisecond left. Kayla cannot believe this is happening, and the crowd are on their feet.}Terri Morasco: Shea kicked out! Shea kicked out!
Vasco Dias: How many Diamonds have that kind of resiliency?
{Kayla slams the mat in anger and decides that the referee either had it wrong, or needs a lesson in how to count. She gets to her feet and gets right into the referees face. The poor guy tries to explain how close it was, but she isn’t taking no for an answer. Shea uses this chance to sneak up on them and grabs Richards from behind rolling her up for a schoolboy, but Kayla rolls through, as does O’Hara! Richards goes for a kick to the gut, but Shea catches her leg and…...CELTIC PRIDE!!!! Shea all but flops on top of Kayla for the pinfall.}Vasco Dias: And the game of one upsmanship continues...
Terri Morasco: I think Shea wants to prove that anything Kayla can do, she can do better...
Vasco Dias: Unless of course it's holding onto the Shieldmaiden...
{The referee drops to his knees and starts the count….ONE! …..TWO! …..THRE-NO!! NO!!! KAYLA KICKS OUT! The crowd are losing it at the display these women are putting on as Shea looks so exhausted in the ring, almost broken that Kayla kicked out, and Kayla is laying on her side taking very deep breaths.}Terri Morasco: Would you stop? We have an amazing contest here tonight between two former Shieldmaidens...
Vasco Dias: How much more can either of them have left?
{Shea shakes her head and yells "COME ON!" trying to get the crowd behind her. The crowd respond by erupting into cheers for her, which brings a smile to Shea's face as she pulls Kayla back to her feet and irish whips Kayla across the ring, as Kayla rebounds, Shea tries to fire off a Superkick, but Kayla has enough ring presence to catch Shea's foot before it connects with her chin. Kayla shakes her head at Shea before tripping her up with her leg and transitioning almost flawlessly into her version of the calfkiller...}Terri Morasco: Diamonds are forever...
Vasco Dias: But Shea's leg is not...
{Shea is in the centre of the ring with nowhere to go, Shea tries valiantly to hold on as Kayla screams at her to tap, maintaining the pressure, Shea has her arm raised and looks just about ready to tap when the arena lights start to flicker and a chilling woman's laughter fills the arena. The distraction is enough for Kayla to release the hold and get to her feet screaming for Eternity.}Terri Morasco: We've seen this before...
Vasco Dias: Far too often...
Kayla Richards: WHERE ARE YOU?!
{The lights go out completely for a moment, then when they return Eternity has Kayla set up for the Last Rites whilst Shea watches, half in terror and half in confusion. Eternity plants Kayla Richards face first into the canvas, before violently jerking her head in Shea's direction and glaring at her. }Terri Morasco: Last week Eternity accepted Kayla's challenge...
Vasco Dias: This week she's making a statement...
{Eternity gets to her feet and walks slowly over to Shea, reaching out for her pretty orange hair, she runs her hand through it, before presenting her with the opportunity to capitalise on the fallen Kayla.}Terri Morasco: Is Eternity offering Shea an easy win here?
Vasco Dias: She better take it, she needs all the help she can get...
{Showing remarkable integrity, Shea shakes her head and tells Eternity "No, not like this...". Eternity cocks her head to the side and looks confused, before shrugging and kicking Shea in the gut and hitting her with the Last Rites too.}Vasco Dias: Why couldn't Shea just take the win?
Terri Morasco: Because of a little thing called integrity Vasco, I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it...
Vasco Dias: I have heard of it, I just call it stupidity...
{With both women laid out at the hands of the reigning three time Diamonds World Champion, the referee finally calls for the bell as Alison Valance declares the official decision.}Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, this match has been officially declared a No Contest due to outside interference...
{Eternity just laughs at the result and her handiwork as "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Lorde hits and the arena is bathed in a purple light as we go to commercial.}

MAIN EVENT
HARDCORE MATCH
Jack Gaither vs Warren Kane
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: I don't care how many times we see this match, I love watching Jack Gaither and Warren Kane rip each other apart, only this time it's hardcore rules.
Vasco Dias: I'm extremely excited for this match. Warren, Jack and Spike have had an extremely heated twitter rivalry for at least the past year. In fact I was tweeting with Spike earlier today and he told me he hopes his son kills Jack Gaither tonight.
Terri Morasco: You were tweeting Spike?
Vasco Dias: Yeah, we tweet all the time.
Terri Morasco: I don't even know what to say.
{The lights go out as the crowd chanting fills the arena.}"Da da da de da da da
Da da da de da da da
Da da da de da da da
Da da da de da da da
LET'S GO!"
{As the song kicks in the tron explodes to life with a quick pyro as red and white strobe lights begin to flash. Warren Kane comes to the front of the stage and brings his arms up infront of his chest before extending them outwards and upwards creating a reaction from the crowd.}"It's not easy making a name for yourself, Where do you draw the line?
I never thought I'd be in this far.
Let's have some fun and never change that for anyone, try not to miss me when I'm gone
Woooh, wooooh"
I sold my soul to the open road!"
{He then heads towards the ring, clicking his neck, wrists and elbows to prepare for his match before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms once more. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}Terri Morasco: Warren Kane looks ready to ge here tonight.
Vasco Dias: Despite his differences with the boss, Roberto Verona, Warren Kane almost never walks into a match unprepared, especially a match against a man he literally hates.
Terri Morasco: I'm just curious what the plan is for tonight with Jack Gaither, earlier today on Twitter he said there would be provision of fellatio to a leathery old mountain man boating, no gimmicks, it would be the real man behind the gimmick, John Wayne Mathias Gaither versus Warren Kane.
Vasco Dias: You've got to wonder if that will be enough.
{ Warren Kane is pacing back and forth in the ring waiting for Gaither to come out. The crowd suddenly pops as Gaither steps out from behind the curtain, no mucsic, in a pair of blue jeans, snake skin boots, a white t-shirt and a kendo stick in hand. }Terri Morasco: Gaither wasn't kidding!
Vasco Dias: Looks like the kid means business!
{ Gaither doesn't waste any time and runs straight toward the ring as Warren begs for him to get in, Gaither slides in under the ropes and Warren goes for him but Gaither springs right up to his feet and instead cracks Warren across the stomach hard with the kendo stick! }Terri Morasco: Gaither is ready for war!
Vasco Dias: Looks like he wasn't kidding!
{ Gaither begins to unleash a primal rage of strikes across the back of Warren Kane as he hits him with shot after shot after shot with the kendo stick, welts already forming as Warren tries to walk it off and get away from Jack. }Terri Morasco: I've never seen Gaither like this before!
Vasco Dias: He said he was leaving the wrestler at home, I guess he wasn't kidding.
{ Gaither raises the kendo stick up over his head as Warren tries to walk the pain off but Gaither runs at him full steam and cracks Warren against the side of the head and sends Warren flying over the top rope. Jack rolls out after him and starts to hit him over the bac again and again, a half dozen welts forming across the back of Warren Kane until finally the kendo stick breaks over Warren's back and Jack tosses it away. }Terri Morasco: He broke the kendo stick!
Vasco Dias: Jack is taking out a years worth of frustration on Warren tonight.
{ Jack connects with a vicious kick to the face of Warren Kane as he tries to push himself up off the padded floor sending him hard against the announce table. Gaither rips him up off the floor and punchs him over and over with right jabs into the face of Warren Kane until he finally hits him with an upper cut that sends Warren up onto the announce table! }Terri Morasco: Looks like it's time to move.
Vasco Dias: Didn't take them long to get on the announce table.
{ Jack climb s up onto the table with Warren, pulling him up to his feet, not even bothering to kick anything out of his way as he pulls Warren up into a pile driver and then drives him straight through the announce table!!!! }Terri Morasco: JESUS CHRIST!!!!!
Vasco Dias: Gaither is out to kill Warren Kane!
{ Jack rolls out of the rubble and doesn't look to be slowing down as he pulls Warren up out of the rubble and throws him hard into the steel steps. Jack takes off looking for a kick to the head of Warren but he moves out of the way and Jack kicks nothing but the hard steel. Warren barely gets up to his feet in time to hit a pump kick to the face of Jack Gaither! }Vasco Dias: Warren got lucky with that kick.
Terri Morasco: He created an opening.
{ Warren looks pissed as he storms through what's left of the announce table and rips a steel chair out from under Alison Valance. Jack starts to pull himself up as Warren charges him and rams the tip of the steel chair into the ribs of Jack Gaither, Gaither drops to a knee and Warren cracks him over the back with the steel chair! }Terri Morasco: Warren is unloading on Gaither!
Vascoi: Well after everything Gaither just did to Warren, it's not shocking he'd lose his temper.
{ Warren grabs Jack by the head, place the chair on its feet and then slams Jack neck first into the head of the chair sending Gaither flying onto his back. Warren isn't finished as he clamps Jack's leg between the steel chair, rolls back into the ring and climbs up to the top rope. }Terri Morasco: What the hell is he planning!?
Vasco Dias: Something nasty!
{ Warren jumps off the top rope to the outside of the ring but Jack Gaither slings the chair with his foot right into the face of Warren Kane who crashes and burns on the outside of the ring to a huge pop from the crowd. }Terri Morasco: What the hell was that!?
Vasco Dias: A damn nice chair block!
{ Jack pulls himself to his feet slowly and grabs the top of the steel steps, throwing them away so that the lower half is exposed. He storms toward Warren who is clutching his face, pulls him up to his feet and drags him toward the lower half of the steps. Jack lines him up for a nasty ddt on the lower half of the steps, Warren tries to reverse it into a Sploder Supex, moving Jack around but Jack blocks it and instead counter with a spine buster onto the steel steps. }Terri Morasco: Gaither is a man on a mission tonight.
Vasco Dias: I've got to say, he's looking damn good tonight.
{ Gaither's chest heaves as he pulls Warren up off the steps and throws him against the top half of the steps on the side of the ring. Gaither then begins to rip up the padding over the floor, exposing the concrete beneath. }Terri Morasco: What the hell does he have planned?
Vasco Dias: Nothing good.
{ Jack grabs Warren and pulls him up, he looks to drive him into the concrete with a pile driver just like he did through the table but Warren blocks it and then counters, this time hitting the Sploder suplex onto the exposed concrete, both men now lay lifeless on the floor outside of the ring. }Terri Morasco: I knew this match was going to be brutal but this has been way over the top.
Vasco Dias: They're trying to kill each other!
{ Warren is extremely slow to his feet as he tries to get his bearings. He throws the ring apron up and out of the way and starts to look around. He drags out a ladder as the fans pop huge for this, setting it up just passed the exposed concrete. He then looks to Gaither, who he pulls up by the neck and then runs him face first into one of the ladder rungs. Warren then picks him up and pushes him onto the ladder, he walks around to the outherside and climbs up as the crowd starts to go silent watching. }Terri Morasco: This could potentially be terrible.
Vasco Dias: This could end a career.
{ Warren reaches down from the top of the ladder and pulls Jack up to meet him. Warren pulls him up with stunning strength over his head as the crowd goes silent with anticipation and then both men come off the top of the ladder with a SPIKE IMPALER!!!! }Terri Morasco: WHAT THE F***!?
Vasco Dias: I... I don't even believe I just saw that...
Terri Morasco: He drove Jack Gaither head first into the exposed concrete...
Vasco Dias: He could be dead...
{ Neither man is moving very much as the crowd chants "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" }Terri Morasco: I can't believe what I just saw...
Vasco Dias: We may have just seen the end of both mens careers.
{ Warren starts to move as the crowd pops, the referee checks on them but Warren shoves him away and istead reaches for Gaither. He puls him up and rolls him into the ring. Warren follows him and looks for a cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: No freaking way!
{ Warren is in disbelief at Jack's resolve. He slowly pushes himself up to his feet and confirms with the referee that it was only a two count. After getting the confirmation he heads back to the outside of the ring near the ramp, he throws the apron out of the way and then smiles wide when he sees something he likes. }Terri Morasco: What did he find!?
Vasco Dias: Nothing good!
{ Warren pulls out a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire as the crowd goes insane over the weapon. He yells out as he holds it up over his head, "SAY HELLO TO LUCILLE!" }Vasco Dias: Looks like we've got our resident Negan...
{ Warren rolls back into the ring and stalks Jack Gaither who is barely moving. Eventually Gaither starts to push himself back to his feet but Warren cracks him over the back with the barbed wire wrapped baseball bat and then racks it across his back opening several cuts in the process. }Terri Morasco: OH!!! That was nasty!
Vasco Dias: Brutal... Just brutal. I guess he's more like his dad than he likes to believe.
{ Warren looks at the bat for a long moment, like he's questioning his actions and then he raises it up over his head and slams it into the back of Jack Gaither again, this time making sure to take his time as he racks it over the back of Gaither, opening even more deep gashes that start to bleed almost immediately. }Terri Morasco: This is getting savage.
{ Warren raises the bat again and thinks about hitting Gaither one more time with it but then second guiesses himself and drops to to his side. He reaches down and pulls Gaither up to his feet who suddenly hauls off and cold cocks Warren with a right hook and then grabs him around the neck and drills Warren face first into the barbed wire bat!!!! }Vasco Dias: Holy hell!!!
Terri Morasco: Did he... Did he just do what I think he did!?
Vasco Dias: Oh hell yes he did.
{ Jack is very slow to his feet as Warren slowly rolls over, a deep gash has opened on his head and blood is pouring out. }Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD!!!!
Vasco Dias: NO WAY!!!!
Terri Morasco: Gaither busted open Warren Kane he's secured himself an Imperial Championship match at the next open fight night!
Vasco Dias: I don't believe it!
Terri Morasco: Jack Gaitheris getting an Imperial Championship match!
{ Jack waits for Warren to stand and then runs at him and connects with a vicious clothes line that sends Warren up and over the top rope, Warren flipping over himself and laying against the ramp. Jack drops down and rolls out of the ring, not giving up his advantage and connecting with a running kick on Warren Kane. Jack turns around and heads back to the ring, throwing the apron up and reaching under, dragging out a table as the crowd goes wild. }Terri Morasco: What the hell is he planning!?
Vasco Dias: Something awesome!
{ Jack sets up the table next to the ring, then he reaches back under the ring and pulls out a black bag. }Terri Morasco: What does he have!?
{ Jack pulls out light fluid and a lighter as the crowd goes wild! }Vasco Dias: He... He can't do this.
Terri Morasco: I'm pretty sure he can, it's hardcore rules.
{ Jack covers the table in light fluid as the crowd is losing their minds. He then raises the lighter up over his head and then slowly brings the flame down igniting the table. }Terri Morasco: Oh my god this is going to be bad.
{ Jack looks back to Warren who is now bleeding pretty badly, he grabs him by the head and pulls him up to his feet, he sets him up for a power bomb through the flaming table. }Vasco Dias: I'm not sure I want to see this.
{ Jack sets him up and goes to lift him but Warren blocks the power bomb, he then moves around him as quickly as he can at this point in the match and throws Jack with all he has with a Sploder Suplex right through the flaming table!!!! }Terri Morasco: Oh my god!
Vasco Dias: Ok... This match needs to end now...
{ The fire crew moves in and quickly putsthe flames out as Warren grabs Gaither before they're even finished and throws him back into the ring, Warren rolls in after him as the last flames are put out and stalks him. }Terri Morasco: I can't believe my eyes.
{ Jack digs deep and starts to pull himself back up to his feet but Warren is right there with a kick to the stomach and the THUNDERSTRUCK!!!! }Vasco Dias: THUNDERSTRUCK!!!!
{ Jack is down and Warren covers him as the refere drops down. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }Alison Valance: Your winner by pinfall... Warren Kane!!!
{ The crowd is losing their minds as this hellacious match has come to an end. }Terri Morasco: These two men tore each other apart.
Vasco Dias: And Jack nearly won the matcha number of times. Warren may have gotten the win but Jack definitely proved a point tonight, he won't die.
Terri Morasco: More than that, he earned himself a shot at the Imperial Championship at the next Open Fight Night.
{ Warren barely gets to his feet as the referee holds his arm up in victory, but even after everything he's been through, Jack pulls himself up and brushes past Warren harshly before rolling out of the ring. }Terri Morasco: Is he seriously walking on his own!?
Vasco Dias: I have a new found respect for Jack Gaither after tonight. He went through hell and lost but it's hard to tell because he gave just as good as he got.
Terri Morasco: Win or lose, Jack has himself a shot at the biggest prize in the business, it's got to be hard to be disappointed with that.
{ Warren glares hard at Jack as he goes as Sacrifice comes to an end. }
?
Well howdy there pardner.
