IWF MAN OF STEEL CHAMPIONSHIPMAN OF STEEL MATCH Ryan Shane vs Zasshu (c)
Alison Valance: The following contest is for the IWF Man of Steel Championship!!!
{The camera pans upward to where the steel cage is seen still above the ring.}
Alison Valance: Introducing first, the challenger...from Allen Park, Michigan...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 of 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 looks ready Vasco. This is the biggest opportunity of his IWF career.
Vasco Dias: An opportunity he doesn't deserve. Laura Howlett told him what he needed to do and he failed. Shane lost to Demonio Blanco. That should have been the end of it. Instead he attacked Zasshu from behind and forced her hand.
Terri Morasco: All he did was take a page out of Zasshu's book.
{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: His opponent, from Mexico City, Mexico...the IWF Man of Steel Champion...Zasshu!!!
Terri Morasco: This should be a good one. Shane is staring down Zasshu.
Vasco Dias: He better keep his eyes on him as long as he can. Zasshu just might blacken them up.
{The referee raises the Man of Steel championship above is head showing everyone what is at stake. With both men inside the ring the cage begins to slowly lower into place.}
Terri Morasco: The two men are circling each other.
Vasco Dias: They are just waiting for the bell to ring so they can tear into each other.
{The referee signals for the bell and the match is underway.}
DING DING DING
{The two men lock up and the faster Zasshu quickly gets behind Shane. Shane tries to break free with an elbow that connects to the side of Zasshu's head. Shane turns around and it met with a variety of different kicks to his legs and body. This bring Shane to a knee. As he gets to his feet Zasshu connects with a springboard dropkick sending Shane to the mat. Zasshu stays on the attack and locks in a crossface that has Shane scampering for the ropes.}
Terri Morasco: The champion coming out on fire and looking to end the match early.
Vasco Dias: The match has just started and Shane has used one of his rope breaks. You only get three.
{Shane gets to his feet but Zasshu stays in control by chopping the chest and midsection of Shane which staggers him. Zasshu whips Shane into the ropes but it's reversed. Shane puts his head down and Zasshu kicks him hard in the chest. He then follows it up with standing hurricanrana. Before Shane can get to his feet Zasshu once again goes for a submission and Shane is forced to use his second rope break.}
Terri Morasco: I think Ryan Shane might have bitten off more than he can chew.
Vasco Dias: Laura Howlett is sure enjoying the show Zasshu is putting on.
{Shane is back to his feet and Zasshu isn't letting up. He backs Shane into the corner and continues to chop and kick him. Shane is finally able to block the shots and tosses Zasshu into the corner. Now Shane uses chops of his own and then follows it up with kicks. This leaves Zasshu slumped in the corner. Ryan goes for a stinger splash but Zasshu leaps over him. Shane doesn't hit the corner and instead turns around and catches Zasshu with a pendulum backbreaker.}
Terri Morasco: Shane is finally able to slow down the attack of Zasshu.
Vasco Dias: Now he stomping on the back of Zasshu's back while staring down Laura Howlett.
Terri Morasco: I think he just wants her to know that he can go toe to toe with her client.
{Ryan continues to stomp on the back of Zasshu while he pulls himself to his feet using the ropes. As then get to the turnbuckle Ryan drives his shoulder into the back of Zasshu. After a couple of times he gets a running head start. He misses! Zasshu was able to avoid the move and Shane's shoulder hits the ring post. When Shane comes out of the corner Zasshu hits an overhead belly to belly suplex sending Shane to the mat.}
Terri Morasco: The champion is showing exactly why he has the title of Man of Steel.
Vasco Dias: Agree Terri. Shane has nowhere to run. It's only a matter of time.
{Shane gets to his feet and Zasshu uses a spin kick trying to connect with Shane's head. Ryan narrowly falls to the mat and avoids it.}
Terri Morasco: Well scouted by Shane.
Vasco Dias: It was almost sleepy time. He got lucky.
{The two men finally lock up properly and Ryan drives a knee into the midsection of Zasshu. That is followed up by a russian leg sweep. With Zasshu on his back Shane heads to the middle rope.}
Terri Morasco: Allen Park Elbow! That landed square into the chest of Zasshu!
Vasco Dias: Look at Shane going for a pin. Doesn't he know this match can only end in submission or knock out?
{The frustrated Shane pleads with the referee before turning his attention back to Zasshu. Shane locks in an armbar hoping to get Zasshu to give up.}
Terri Morasco: Shane with a nice arm bar. He's got it locked in tight.
Vasco Dias: The champion quickly makes his way to the ropes before too much damage can be done.
{Shane releases the hold and Zasshu gets back to his feet rubbing his shoulder. Ryan sees an opportunity to stay in control and quickly goes after his opponent. Zasshu lures him in and hits him with another kick to the knee. This brings Shane down. Zasshu bounces off the ropes and hits another hurricanrana, this time on the kneeling Ryan Shane.}
Terri Morasco: Legendary Rana! Shane's head just hit hard off the mat.
Vasco Dias: Count it ref! He is out!

{At the count of five Shane starts to stir and Zasshu comes off the ropes again looking for a repeat performance. Ryan rolls out of the way and Zasshu lands on his back. Shane drops a quick elbow and goes for the arm again. He locks in the armbar and Zasshu has to make his way to the ropes again. Both men have now used two rope breaks.}
Terri Morasco: Shane is really trying to put Zasshu away but he can't do it.
Vasco Dias: Zasshu isn't the champion for nothing.
{Ryan sends Zasshu into the ropes and drops down as Zasshu leaps over him. Shane gets back to his feet and looks for Zasshu. He finds his high flying opponent halfway up the cage. He leaps off the cage and drives Shane's head into the mat with a tornado DDT.}
Terri Morasco: He just spiked Shane's head off the mat!
Vasco Dias: That was vicious Terri! He might have broken Shane's neck!
{Zasshu gets to his feet and Shane is just laying there. The referee has no choice but to count.}

Vasco Dias: You have got to be kidding me! How was Shane able to get to his feet?
Terri Morasco: I think it's will Vasco. He wants to win the Man of Steel title badly.
Vasco Dias: I get that, but Zasshu is a monster in there. He could retire Shane right here tonight.
{Shane is leaning against the ropes and Zasshu rushes toward him. Out of desperation Shane drops a shoulder and lifts Zasshu up and over. Zasshu's back hits the cage and he falls between the steel and the ropes.}

Terri Morasco: The champ is back on his feet.
Vasco Dias: It wasn't a very long one but Shane was able to get a little breather.
{With Zasshu between the ropes and cage the still groggy Shane is able to connect with a dropkick that drives Zasshu's back into the steel of the cage once again. Zasshu reaches for his back and Ryan winds up his left hand.}
Terri Morasco: Southpaw Shuffle!
{As he goes to finish is off with a discus punch Zasshu dodges it and Shane punches the steel of the cage.}
Vasco Dias: A broke neck and a broken hand? Tonight is not Ryan Shane's night.
{Shane screams out in pain and shakes his hand. This give Zasshu a chance to regain his composure. When Shane turns his attention back to him Zasshu hits him with a couple quick kicks to the chest. He then leaps to the top rope while holding the cage. When Shane turns around he hits a perfectly executed moonsault.}
Terri Morasco: Both men struggling to get back to their feet. The pull themselves up with the ropes on opposites ends of the ring.
Vasco Dias: This is a hell of a fight.
{Ryan looks to the crowd and they cheer for him. Zasshu looks to Laura Howlett and she claps for him in support while the fans in attendance boo him.}
Terri Morasco: The line has clearly been drawn.
Vasco Dias: I'm not sure about that Terri. Zasshu is so hated he could make the crowd cheer for anyone.
{The two men slowly circle each other once more. They start exchanging chops. When Shane connects the crowd cheers. When Zasshu connects the crowd lets him know their disapproval. Zasshu takes control with chops and they echo over the crowd.}
Terri Morasco: Shane's chest is bright red.
Vasco Dias: Zasshu's hands are like the sun! Shane is getting burned.
{At the turnbuckle Zasshu's starts using karate chops focusing on the neck of Shane. Shane falls to the mat slumped in the corner. Zasshu then backs up and flips into him with the full force on a running start.}
Terri Morasco: A nice canon ball maneuver by Zasshu crunching Shane into the turnbuckle.
Vasco Dias: Zasshu is a bad man. Laura Howlett couldn't have a better client.
{Outside of the ring Howlett is shouting to Zasshu.}
Laura Howlett: Finish him!
{Zasshu nods and sets his sights on Shane. He goes for another spin kick to the head of Shane. It misses as Shane once again somehow avoids it. Ryan hits a dropkick to the knee and then hits him with a shining wizard.}
Terri Morasco: Shaning Wizard!
Vasco Dias: I can't believe it! Shane just might to do this.

{As Zasshu gets back to his feet Ryan hits a lung blower.}
Terri Morasco: Someday Snap by Shane! The crowd is getting behind him.
Vasco Dias: I think I know what's coming next.
{Shane gets the legs of Zasshu and he locks in A Crying Shane. It looks like he is having difficulty keeping it tight. Zasshu shouts out in pain as he pulls himself closer to the ropes. He inches closer and closer...}
Terri Morasco: Zasshu just barely made it to the ropes!
Vasco Dias: That was his third rope break. There is nothing that can save him now.
{Ryan can't believe it. He grabs the legs of Zasshu and pulls him into the middle of the ring. He goes for A Crying Shane again but this time Zasshu kicks Shane in the head a couple of times. This breaks the grip of Shane.}
Terri Morasco: Zasshu knows if Shane locked that in it could be over. He is really proving why he is champion.
Vasco Dias: I think both of these men are proving just how grueling a Man of Steel match can be.
{Shane shakes the cobwebs out of his head as he turns around. Zasshu has made his way to his feet and he lifts Shane up.}
Vasco Dias: Zasshu Driver!!! That has to be it!
Terri Morasco: You might be right Vasco!

With every ounce of strength he has left Shane lifts Zasshu into the air and falls forward. This causes Zasshu's back to hit the ropes causing a break.}
Terri Morasco: That was Shane's last rope break. Now neither man can be saved by the ropes.
Vasco Dias: More importantly Zasshu is taking his time letting go of that choke. Ryan Shane might be out.
{Zasshu finally releases the hold and leaves Shane laying there.}

{Zasshu is kicking at the ropes and Laura Howlett is trying to calm him down from the outside.}
Terri Morasco: The champion is pissed off Vasco!
Vasco Dias: Ryan Shane is more of a nuisance than he expected.
{Ryan Shane looks at Zasshu and flashes him a smile as if to ask for more. Zasshu seeing this quickly approaches and goes for the spin kick to the head for a third time. He misses yet again! Ryan connects with a lung blower.}
Terri Morasco: Another Someday Snap by Shane!
Vasco Dias: This isn't good for Zasshu.
{Shane is pumped up after hitting a high impact move. He then goes for his cloverleaf variation.}
Terri Morasco: He has A Crying Shane locked in again! This time the ropes can't save him!
Vasco Dias: He's the champion. He will find a way.
{Shane locks it in tight and Zasshu is shouting out in pain. Outside the ring Howlett is going crazy as she is willing Zasshu to break free. The man of steel champion doesn't want to give up and he inches toward the ropes.}
Terri Morasco: Zasshu going for the ropes but it won't matter!
Vasco Dias: Shane might not have to break the hold, but the ropes give Zasshu some options.
{Zasshu continues to do whatever he can to break the hold. He gets closer to the ropes but Shane then pulls him back into the center of the ring. He sits back straining to keep the hold locked it. Finally Zasshu has no choice but to tap. His hand repeatedly slaps the mat and the referee calls for the bell.}
Alison Valance: The winner of the match and NEW IWF Man of Steel Champion...Ryan Shane!!!!
{The referee hands Shane the belt and he holds it up. He can't believe that he won. He is finally a champion in the IWF. }
Vasco Dias: Are those tears Terri?
Terri Morasco: I think so Vasco. Tears of joy!
Vasco Dias: They might turn into tears of fear. Zasshu isn't going to take losing the title lightly.
{As Ryan Shane continues to celebrate in the ring Laura Howlett enters the cage to check on Zasshu. The former champion gets to his feet and Howlett tells him to attack Shane again. Shane turns around and Zasshu plants him into the mat.}
Terri Morasco: Another Zasshu Driver! The match is over. There is no need for that.
Vasco Dias: I think Laura Howlett wanted to add an exclamation point.
{Inside the ring Laura Howlett stands over the fallen Shane. She then bends down and slaps him in the face. Her and Zasshu then exit the ring as medical personnel come to check on Shane.}
FATAL FOURWAY MATCH JFK vs Maelstrom vs Addisyn Starr (Steel O'Buffington) vs Demonico Blanco
{"Getting away with murder" hits and Demonio Blanco walks out. He puts his fingers up with what could be considered gang signs before speaking in spanish to members of the crowd. Demonio gets to the ring apron and leaps up before grabbing the top rope and flipping over onto his feet.}Terri Morasco: Here we go fans--our fatal four-way is comin' right up! Vasco Dias: Yeah, yeah...it'll be just like any other match of this type in IWF lore, a clusterfu-- Terri Morasco: *ahem* A fun match! {The lights dim and a crack of thunder rips through the arena, as the infamous "Raining Blood" by Slayer gets the fans on their feet and buzzing excitedly, craning their necks over to the entrance way. The crowd noise builds slowly with anticipation as an amber strobe pulses in time with the three-beat bass drum. Then, just as the guitar sets in... BOOM! that single clap of thunder, and the Human Hellstorm barges out onto the platform, grinning like a shark and thumping his fist over his heart. Rows of hands reach out from behind the guardrail as he strolls to the ring, hands outstretched to the fans on both sides of the walkway. Entering the ring, he climbs to the second turnbuckle in his corner facing out to the crowd to whom he points and thumps his fist over his heart again, bowing his head in a salute.}Vasco Dias: Maelstrom is such a MONSTROSITY! Terri Morasco: At over 300 pounds, he looks like an immovable object! {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.}Terri Morasco: And here comes... Vasco Dias: JFK? I thought he was dead! Terri Morasco: WILL YOU STOP!?! It's James Franklin Karn, NOT the former President John F. Kennedy... Vasco Dias: I knew that already... Terri Morasco: Ya know somethin', your bad puns are gonna get us canceled someday. {The lights turn off and "Applause" by Lady Gaga begins to play and the fans begin to boo. A single spot light in the shape of a star shines down on the entrance ramp. Addisyn comes walking out wearing a big eccentric robe with her name inside a star decoration on the back, she turns around and shows it off to the crowd. False bulb flashes go off from in front of her as the camera strobes around and she poses for pictures. as Steel steps out and stands behind her. She throws the rope off and turns around with her arms outstretched soaking in the imaginary admiration of the crowd. David Conrad who is in the ring, having taken the microphone from the real ring announcer introduces her.}David Conrad: And introducing, from Hollywood, California. The biggest name in show business, the greatest wrestler on the face of the Earth, the queen of the world... Addisyn Starr! {Pyro shoots off from behind Addisyn as the lights come back on and the fans are loudly voicing their displeasure. Addisyn stops half way down the ramp and begins holding her knee, clearly pretending to limp now... that is until she gets to the ring. When she climbs onto the apron and flips into the ring where she runs to a corner holding her arms out playing to the fans. Steel slides into the ring after her and stands there with his arms crossed. Addisyn jumps down and makes her way over to Steel where she kneels in front of him, putting her arms out once more.}David Conrad: However, thanks to a recent injury she will be represented tonight by her consort... Steel O'Buffington! Steel O'Buffington: That's not my n.... {The microphone is cut off and Steel sighs before turning around and mugging for the camera as Addisyn smiles devilishly from her knees in front of her monster of a companion.}[DING!] {As Addisyn watches from ringside, Steel O'Buffington sighs to himself as he looks across the ring, staring at JFK, Maelstrom, and Blanco. Without warning, the latter three men decide that it's a pretty good idea to perceive Steel as the bigger threat and try to triple team him! But all this does is cause the smaller Karn and Demonio Blanco to be shoved off to the side, leading to an all-out brawl between Steel and his equally-sized opponent in Maelstrom! Now everyone has a partner in this match as JFK and Blanco start trading rights and lefts of their own, eventually pulling each other out to the arena floor!}Vasco Dias: I TOLD ya this was gonna be a cluster-type match! Terri Morasco: Action on the inside, action on the outside...and the poor bloke officiating this match can do nothing else except count pins or submissions! {In the ring, Steel and Maelstrom continue trading face and body blows until the native of Buffalo takes charge, sending O'Buffington for the ride and into the corner! Letting out a primal battle cry, Maelstrom starts firing away at Steel with a flurry of rights and lefts to the ribs and temples; the referee can only count pins of submissions, so he's powerless to prevent Maelstrom from using closed fists on his rival. Using his raw power to full effect, Maelstrom easily lifts the 300 pound O'Buffington high in the air, pressing him like he was nothing more than a fully-loaded bench press bar, and slamming him down to the deck! Meanwhile on the outside, Demonio Blanco and JFK are going at it tooth and nail until the masked lucha libre artist takes advantage, running toward the safety fence and leaping off the top in a backflip, hitting Karn with a wicked kick to the side of the skull! Blanco goes right back on the attack, sending JFK crashing into the steel steps before turning his attention toward the action going on inside the ring! In the ring, Maelstrom hits Steel with a perfectly-executed belly-to-back suplex--transitioning the maneuver into an arcing bridge for a pin!}1...! 2...!! {Demonio Blanco quickly springs off the top rope, nailing Maelstrom over the head with a guillotine legdrop to break up the three-count! The Buffalo native clutches the back of his neck in pain before slowly rolling out to the floor--where he's met by an energized JFK, who plasters him with a sharp, stinging clothesline that brings the 305-pounder to his knees! Back in the ring, with Addisyn watching in concern, Blanco pulls the much larger Steel O'Buffington to his feet and sends him for the ride; Steel bounces off the ropes...and TRUCKS THE MASKED MAN WITH A HARD SPEAR!!}Terri Morasco: OYYY!!!! And Blanco could be in some serious jeopardy here! Vasco Dias: Don't ever stop on the tracks while a train is comin' through! {Now Blanco's in big trouble as O'Buffington stomps away at the masked man's ribs before YANKING him to a vertical base by the top of the mask! Blanco, to his credit, fights back in a big way, chopping the bigger man and sending him reeling to the corner, but the Mexican native soon learns that this is extremely futile and, as a consequence, winds up nearly being decapitated by a massive O'Buffington-endorsed clothesline! On the arena floor, JFK and Maelstrom are having a good ol'-fashioned fistfight before the smaller Karn takes control, sending the larger Maelstrom crashing into the guardrail! JFK charges toward his larger opponent with a head-full of steam and connects flush with a hard bicycle kick to the chin--yet the momentum of the blow causes both JFK and Maelstrom to flip over the fence, landing into the crowd! In the ring, Steel O'Buffington cackles with glee before plastering Demonio Blanco to the canvas with a hard powerslam and pnning combination!}1...! 2...!! {JFK, who got the better of the exchange between him and Maelstrom on the outside, leaps into the ring over the top rope, connection with a sharp kick to Steel's head to break up the three-count! O'Buffington slowly rolls out to the arena floor, where he's assisted and coached by Addisyn Starr--all the while with Maelstrom slowly extricating himself from the Wichita fans at ringside! Yet he soon winds up being double-teamed as both Addisyn AND Steel put the boots to the Buffalo native! Back in the ring, Demonio Blanco and JFK are going at it before the masked superstar takes advantage of a Karn misfire by firing off a series of knife-edged chops before shooting him into the ropes! Karn bounces off the ropes--and into a headscissors takedown that is quickly transitioned into a pinning combination of his own!}1...! 2...!! KICKOUT!!! {As JFK gets his shoulders up, the double-teaming continues on the outside as Starr and O'Buffington continue stomping away on poor Maelstrom on the outside! That is, until the referee sees what's going on and points directly toward Addisyn, who's sporting a shit-eating grin on her face!}Referee: Ma'am...YER OUTTA THERE!!! Vasco Dias: WHAT?!?! HE CAN'T DO THAT!!! Terri Morasco: Oh yes, he can--referee's discretion! If he feels like someone at ringside is causing trouble, he can throw anyone outta there! {Starr's smile fizzles out in an instant, replaced with a stare of death as the man in zebra stripes points toward the backstage area, sending the woman away to the delight of the crowd! Steel O'Buffington, meanwhile, continues begging the ref to let his lover back in ringside, but the official refuses to listen! Steel doesn't realize that Maelstrom has snuck up from behind until it's too late, and as O'Buffington turns around, he's planted to the concrete floor with a massive SPEAR!! Back in the ring, JFK--after pounding his chest and screaming a rally cry of his own--takes the masked Demonio Blanco to the mat with an armdrag takedown, followed by a second and a third for good measure before sending him for the ride! The Mexican bounces off the ropes--and into a dropkick! On the deck, the Mexican native can do nothing but take a high knee drop from Karn; as Blanco slowly climbs to his feet, JFK quickly climbs up to the top buckles and goes flying, connecting with a high cross-body for a pin!}1...! 2...!! {After apparently dispatching Steel O'Buffington at ringside, Maelstrom quickly hops back into the ring to break up the three-count! Chucking Karn to the outside, Maelstrom has Blanco locked in perfect position for his dreaded finisher, the HELLSTORM RISING!! With the masked man high in the air, the Buffalo native stalls for a moment before slowly walking, eventually sending Demonio Blanco crashing head-first into the canvas with his high-angled Northern Lights Bomb maneuver before going for the pin!}1...! 2...!! {Karn, at the last split second, is able to break up the three-count! Sending the much larger Maelstrom over the top rope and onto the floor, JFK has Demonio Blanco dead to rights and nails him with his patented Tiger Driver that he calls the FINAL NAIL before going for the pin!}1...! 2...!! ~THWACK!!!~ {Somehow, Steel O'Buffington, who looked like he was out of it after being trucked my Maelstrom out on the arena floor a few minutes earlier, manages to sneak into the ring and crack Karn over the back with a steel chair! JFK clutches his upper back in obvious pain and rolls to the outside, leaving Steel O'Buffington alone with Demonio Blanco! Setting up the green chair in the center of the ring, Steel picks up the hapless Blanco and POWERBOMBS HIM THROUGH THE CHAIR!!! The fans groan in agony as O'Buffington goes for the pin!}1...! 2...!! THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!! [DING-DING-DING!!!] Vasco Dias: WOW!!! What a win by Steel O'Buffington! Terri Morasco: Do you really think Steel O'Buffington deserved to win this match?! He cheated!!! Vasco Dias: Well...as the old sayin' goes--nice guys don't always finish first. IWF DIAMONDS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MAIDEN OF STEEL MATCH Kayla Richards vs Eternity (c)
{"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}
Terri Morasco: Kayla Richards is eager to over shadow the legacy her sister created here in IWF, and tonight is her night to do just that.
Vasco Dias: Please, she doesn’t even compare!
{The lights go out completely, before the opening guitar riff causes blue strobe lights to pulse in time. A few moments pass before the lyrics to "No Color" by Otep begin, the blue strobe lights provide just enough illumination for us to see the purple coloured smoke slowly gathering to cloud the entranceway.
Eternity emerges from within the cloud of colourful smoke. There is a mixed reaction from the adults, but the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a black hat and a veil with her head bowed as she seems to lightly bounce halfway down the ramp.
She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled black hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms. She continues her journey down the ramp, skipping and carrying her hat in her right hand. She slides under the bottom rope into the ring and when she reaches the centre, she transitions into a skip, over to the turnbuckle where she hangs her hat on a ringpost, patting it.
She then skips to the middle of the ring and falls to her knees, keeping her head bowed for a moment and her eyes closed. she tilts her head back and slowly opens her eyes to the heavens. This gesture now triggers the lights to slowly be raised back up to normal levels as her music starts also to fade away.}
Vasco Dias: This woman genuinely gives me the creeps.
Terri Morasco: Eternity is the Diamonds Champion, and tonight she defends the belt in a Maiden of Steel match! This is the big one if you are a Diamond. This is where you want to be, and these two women are going to show the world what IWF can do!
{The referee passes the Diamonds Championship out through the door, and the cage door is locked behind him afterwards. The bell rings, and there is a huge roar of support from the crowd. Inside the ring Kayla looks at Eternity with determination, but the Champion simply cocks her head and smiles before Richards charges at her. The two women begin to exchange forearms in a fiery beginning to the contest. Kayla gets the upper hand and shoots Eternity off the ropes, on the rebound Kayla goes for a diving forearm, but Eternity ducks underneath it and shoots off the ropes on the far side. As she comes back Kayla is getting back to her feet but Eternity nails an astonishing head scissors takedown to Richards.}
Vasco Dias: Effective offence!
{As Eternity rolls back to her knees she grins at the fallen Richards, however as she moves over to grab her Kayla springs to life, kicking her in the face from the ground. The former Shield Maiden charges to life and tackles Eternity hard to the ground. Kayla screams out as she starts slamming hard rights into the face of Eternity, however, the Diamonds Champion seems to simply be laughing as each punch connects. Eventually her laughter is borderline hysterical, and Kayla stops hitting her, backing away and looking down at Eternity with a concerned look, while Eternity simple giggles away.}
Vasco Dias: Is she nuts?
Terri Morasco: She’s certainly a unique character.
Vasco Dias: Yeah, she’s nuts.
{Eternity sits up, staring right into the eyes of Kayla Richards and a bizarre hush falls over the crowd, her laughter stops dead and the silence that follows is louder than anything that came before. She whispers something to Kayla, but we just can’t hear it. Kayla sneers down at Eternity and rushes her, nailing a violently fast shining wizard in the process. Eternity snaps backwards and rolls to her side, a shocked look on her face. Kayla, however, doesn’t let her rest. She comes crawling towards Eternity and locks in a simple sleeper hold.}
Vasco Dias: Yes! Lock it in, come on….
Terri Morasco: Not exactly being impartial here Vasco, are you?
Vasco Dias: She creeps me out, OK?
{Eternity seems to be rejuvenated by Kaylas attack, and makes it to a knee, before elbowing Kayla in the stomach and switching herself around, reversing the move and locking in her Dying Wish!! The crowd go nuts, and Kayla cries out in pain as she flails around trying to get to the ropes. Eternity wrenches the hold as hard as she can, but somehow, Richards manages to reach the ropes with the very tip of her toes. The referee starts counting on Eternity to release the hold….ONE! …..TWO! ….THREE! ….FOUR! ...Eternity lets go, but she looks at the referee as if he just told her she couldn’t play with her favourite toy.}
Terri Morasco: Eternity doesn’t like being told what she can and can’t do.
{Kayla is right back to her feet, but Eternity isn't far behind her. Kayla storms for a lariat, but Eternity ducks underneath and grabs Richards arm in the process sending her across the ring with modified arm drag. Kayla rolls right through to her feet only for Eternity to hit her with another arm drag. Almost rinse and repeat as Kayla rolls through once more but this time she grabs the ropes and pulls herself away and once the Champion opens herself up, expecting another, she then runs forward and slams her foot right into Eternity’s face with a yakuza kick}
Vasco Dias: Hot damn, that had to hurt!
{The crowd react with some boos, but Kayla couldn't care less as he stands over Eternity. She pulls her head up by her hair, and the ref starts shouting at her, but she ignores me. She takes her foot and places it between the two chunks of hair she has and as she let's go of the hair she stamps her foot down, slamming the Diamonds Champions face into the mat! She leans over and shouts “are you laughing now?” Before telling the ref to count her}
Terri Morasco: Kayla Richards is showing absolutely no respect to Eternity here tonight.
Vasco Dias: I’m not sure I’d want to be in her shoes.
{The referee barely starts his count before Eternity is back on her feet. She uses the ropes to pull herself up, and touches her mouth to check if it’s bleeding. If looks could kill, then Richards would be dead right now. Eternity snarls as she charges forwards towards Kayla, who swings for a lariat, but once again Eternity ducks underneath, and slides out of the ring, between the apron and the cage wall. She looks back and smiles at Richards, who just seems confused. This time Kayla hits the ropes and goes for a dive over the ropes, however, at the last minute Eternity slides back into the ring, and Kayla manages to reign herself in and land on the ring apron.}
Vasco Dias: Holy crap!
{The crowd are going nuts as Eternity hasn’t broken her stride as she sprints across the ring and hits the ropes coming back with a huge spear to Kayla Richards into the cage wall!!! Both women fall to a heap, as Eternity naturally took some impact herself. Richards rolls just under the ropes as she groans in pain, while Eternity is on all fours with her head down. The referee begins to count….ONE! …..TWO! …..THREE! …...FOUR! …….FIVE! ...Eternity starts to crawl to the ropes…..SIX! …..SEVEN! ….Kayla grabs at the turnbuckle and starts to pull herself up…..EIGHT! …...NINE!....Both women make it to their feet just before the ten count, and they’re actually met with a huge roar from the crowd. With chants of “this is wrestling!” and “this is awesome” ringing through the arena.}
Terri Morasco: These two women have got the crowd on their feet! This is an outstanding match!
{Eternity staggers into the middle of the ring, clearly a little dazed from hitting her head off the cage wall, and Kayla sees this as her moment, she rushes forwards for the Sick Kick! However, Eternity spins around from it, hooking Kayla up as she does…..DYING WISH AGAIN!!! Kayla screams out, as Eternity wrenches the hold, her facial experession one of delight…..but yet again she manages to reach the ropes and Eternity is forced to release the hold. She gets to her feet and stomps away, clearly annoyed with the situation. Kayla leans into the ropes, clearly hurting from the move.}
Vasco Dias: I swear, Eternity is like a shark, and right now? She smells blood in the water.
{As Kayla climbs back to her feet, Eternity walks towards her, at odd angles, taking a mis-step her and there. She cocks her head as she watches Kayla move, before she charges in and splashes her into the corner. Kayla doesn’t have a chance to react, as Eternity hits her with a snap mare and then once again locks in the Dying Wish! Kayla screams out in pain, she writhes on the ground, she does everything she can to reach the ropes, but the referee will not break the hold. He tries to tell her that she has used her rope breaks, as she screams and cusses him out….eventually as Eternity wrenches harder and nods her head, Kayla is forced to tap out. The bell rings and the cage begins to climb, as the referee grabs the Diamonds Championship and hands it to Eternity raising her hand.}
Terri Morasco: What an amazing showcase we saw here tonight, Eternity defeats Kayla via Dying Wish submission and retains her Diamonds Championship.
Vasco Dias: Looks like Night of Immortals is going to be a little scary.
{The lights go down to a blue hue and Eternity kneels in the middle of the ring and begins to act as if she is grieving for her Kayla’s loss as she offers a ten bell salute in condolence, the crowd try to start up chants, but eventually a silence falls over them all. All except Kayla groaning in pain.}
SINGLES MATCH Jake Keeton vs JJ Biggs
Terri Morasco: Our next match up features a rivalry that predates IWF by years but has taken a very personal turn as Jake Keeton will face JJ Biggs for the first time ever in singles cometition!
Vasco Dias: This is going to be a good one.
Alison Valance: The following contest is set for one fall, introducing first from Lexington, KY… JAKE KEETON!!!
{The lights dim, a hush fills the arena and a mixed reaction of mostly cheers billows 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 cheering fans as he steps into the ring and begins to stretch his full attention focused on the ramp awaiting the arrival of his opponent.}
Terri Morasco: That’s a man who is as intense as they come every time he steps into the ring but tonight is different.
Vasco Dias: He’s possessed.
Alison Valance: And his opponent, hailing from Miami, FL this is… JJ BIGGS!!!
{"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" walks onto the stage, standing 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. He retrieves a microphone from the back pocket of his jeans and waits for the music and the boos to die down.}
Terri Morasco: What’s going on here? He’s not dressed to compete…
Vasco Dias: I think he’s about to tell us, Terri.
JJ Biggs: You all seem to be mistaken. I agreed to a match tonight but I never said I would be the one competing.
Terri Morasco: Are you kidding me?
{The boos from the fans are deafening and Jake Keeton paces in the ring irate.}
JJ Biggs: None of you deserve to see a legend like me kill Jake Keeton tonight and to be honest I’m not done playing with him. I do however have a suitable replacement and should Jake manage to win this match, I’ll think about giving him the one on one match with me he’s been begging for.
{Biggs steps to the side and the slow melodic opening strains to “Veins” by HUNTR begins to play and when the beat kicks in pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps through the curtain. He makes his way to the ring bouncing in rhythm to the music with JJ Biggs walking a fews steps behind him with a sinister smile on his face. When JC reaches the ring he leaps up onto the apron and steps through the ropes, He continues to sway and bounce from heel to heel staring confidently at his father who looks perplexed.}
Alison Valance: Ladies and Gentlemen it would appear that Jake Keeton’s opponent is now… JC KEETON!!!
Terri Morasco: Is this actually happening? Biggs is a low life, he’s just using this young man.
Vasco Dias: He’s in Jake’s head for sure.
{The referee slides into the ring and signals for the bell.}
DING DING DING
{JC shoots out of the corner and takes the center of the ring motioning for his father to lock up with him but Jake just stands there pleading with his son. He just repeatedly says, “We don’t have to do this.” and “Let’s go to the back and talk.”}
Terri Morasco: This is sad.
Vasco Dias: Yeah I never thought I’d see Jake Keeton try to talk his way out of a pay per view match.
Terri Dias: Oh come on Vasco...
{JC responds to Jake’s pleas by shoving him into the corner, JC then unloads with a left hand to the jaw of his father that surprises everyone, himself included. Jake rubs his jaw and inhales deeply through his nose, anger building. JC again motions for him to lock up and this time Jake does, quickly snatching JC into a standing headlock before screaming, “I don’t want to hurt you!” JC’s response is a Saito Suplex planting Jake on the back of his head.}
Terri Morasco: Beautiful Saito Suplex by JC Keeton, the same move that Jake used to defeat Nighthawk in two of their memorable meetings.
Vasco Dias: Aren’t you just full of useless knowledge tonight.
{The younger Keeton goes for the cover but Jake kicks out right away and they both return to their feet where Jake actually smiles and applauds his son for the suplex. They tie up again and this time it’s JC who snatches Jake into a standing headlock but Jake shoots him off into the ropes. Jake ducks and JC leapfrogs him. Jake spins around and puts his son on the mat with a deep Arm Drag, he holds onto the arm and applies light pressure as he pulls it back and screams, “Tap out!” but JC refuses.}
Terri Morasco: It doesn’t look like Jake Keeton is putting much into that hold.
Vasco Dias: Even if he was when’s the last time you saw someone tap out to a rest hold?
Terri Morasco: You have a point.
{JC works his way to his feet but Jake pulls him back to the mat transitioning to a Triangle Choke as he pulls down on the head of his son he continues to plead, “Please just tap out, I don’t want to hurt you!” JC scoots on his knees pulling himself and his father towards the ropes until he reaches them and the referee forces Jake to break the hold as JC rolls out to the floor. Jake stands over him but JC reaches out and trips him before pulling him out of the ring. With Jake outside the ring JC slides back into the ring and while the referee has his back turned JJ Biggs almost takes Jake’s head off with a Big Boot and the crowd erupts with boos.}
Terri Morasco: Oh come on! I knew it was only a matter of time before Biggs got involved.
Vasco Dias: He’s just giving his trainee a little assitance.
Terri Morasco: I don’t think JC wants it.
{Indeed JC is leaning over the ropes telling Biggs to stay out of his match and that he can handle it. Biggs throws his hands up acting innocent and steps away from Jake who is trying to to stand before JC hits the ropes and dives over onto his father with a Twisting Suicide Dive which surprisingly draws a slight pop from the crowd due to the height and athleticism he showed. The move took a lot out of JC though as he stands with his hands on his knee breathing hard. After taking a moment to rest he picks Jake up and sits him on the ring apron before climbing up onto the ring apron where he kicks his father a few times.}
Terri Morasco: Jake is going to have to fight back.
{Jake grabs one of JC’s kicks and holds onto his foot before standing up still holding his son’s foot while both of them are on the ring apron. JC attempts an Inziguri but Jake ducks and JC comes down hard on the apron. Jake steps into the ring and pulls JC under the bottom rope and covers him.}
1…
2…
KICKOUT BY JC!
{Jake again screams at his son to “Stay down!” and “Please let me end this!”}
Terri Morasco: Jake Keeton just wants this match and this nightmare to be over.
Vasco Dias: He could always just walk away, wouldn’t be the first time he’s got counted out.
{Jake stands over JC who is sitting on the mat, he rolls to a knee and starts to stand before Jake mouths the words “I’m sorry.” and locks in Sweet Southern Surrender rolling to the mat with the D’Arce Choke applied..}
Terri Morasco: S3! Jake has his patented submission hold locked in.
{The elder Keeton almost looks to be in pain himself as he squeezes his own bicep pulling the choke tighter as he feels his son starting to fade. FInally before he’s completely unconscious JC Keeton taps out and Jake lets him go.}
Alison Valance: Your winner as a result of a submission, JAKE KEETON!!!
{JC pounds his fists into the mat as the announcement is made and looks up at his Dad who sits on the mat next to him looking equally upset even in victory. Jake stands and offers a hand to JC and he takes it and Jake pulls him to the mat and they hug but it’s broken up as JJ Biggs clubs Jake across the back.}
Terri Morasco: Should have expected that, Biggs is a giant coward.
Vasco Dias: I’m telling him you said that.
Terri Morasco: Go ahead!
{Biggs grabs Jake and places him in position for the Crucifix Powerbomb but JC steps towards him pleading with him to stop, Biggs shouts at his student to “MOVE!” and JC drops his head and does so before Biggs hoists Jake into the air and drops him with the Crucifix Powerbomb just as he has every time he’s encountered Jake Keeton since coming to IWF. Satisfied with his handiwork Biggs orders JC out of the ring as “Voices” hits and they walk up the ramp together to boos as JC glances back at his father before disappearing through the curtain with Biggs.}
LUMBERJACK MATCH Adam Knite w/ Trent Helms vs Teddy Steele w/ Todd Williams vs Mohamed Al-Thani w/ Hooligan vs Jayson Matthews w/ Warren Kane vs Nighthawk w/ Desmond Thomas
{During the match, Adam Knite and Trent Helms walked out in protest, leaving Teddy Steele, Mohammed Al-Thani, Jayson Matthews, and Nighthawk in the match. In the end, it was Jayson Matthews getting the pin on Al-Thani.}
IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLE THREAT MATCH Warren Kane vs Rob Diamond vs Roberto Verona (c)
Terri Morasco: This is it, the moment we have been waiting for, the main event of Destiny! Three men will enter the ring but only one of them can walk away the IWF Imperial Champion.
Vasco Dias: You can hype this match all you want but Roberto Verona is going to retain and enter Night of the Immortals as the Imperial Champion.
Terri Morasco: You can believe that all you want but Roberto Verona is facing two men who are best friends insdie and outsaide of the ring.
Vasco Dias: The biggest championship in the world of professional wrestling is on the line, let's see how strong their friendship really is once that bell rings.
{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: This night, this moment has been the life long dream of Warren Kane. Wrestling is literally in his blood, he was born for this, bred for this, he would sooner die than lose this match.
Vasco Dias: I don’t care if his father is Jesus Christ himself, Warren Kane will not defeat Roberto Verona and neither will his loud mouth best buddy Rob Diamond.
Terri Morasco: I’m glad your confident in your boss but I’m not, I just don’t see him over coming these odds.
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. }
Terri Morasco: This is the man many feel should already be the Imperial Champion.
Vasco Dias: Many? Are you talking about the fat neck beard typing away on their computers at home? Rob Diamond had his shot, blew it and then failed to win the Roulette like promised. He politicked his way into this match and as far as I’m concerned he doesn’t deserve it.
Terri Morasco: Well I’m glad you don’t make the decisions around here because the millions of fans at home tend to disagree with you.
Vasco Dias: There’s a reason they’re fans and not executives in charge of billion dollar companies.
{ The lights in the arena all go out at "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps begins to blare out of the PA system. Spotlights begin to scan the crowd before fixating on a figure at the top of the stage which is revealed to be Roberto Verona, his head bowed towards the floor. As cheers being to resonate around the arena Verona raises his head and he begins a slow methodical march down the ramp, the spotlight following him as golden pyro rains down from above on the stage. Verona stares with disgust at the crowd who cheer him as he approaches the ring, but he doesn't react to them. As he reaches the steps he slowly ascends them before walking towards the middle of the ring apron, turning around to look into the crowd one last time before looking up and closing his eyes as he stretches his arms out wide and basks in the adulation. After indulging himself Verona climbs into the ring, psyching himself up as he awaits the beginning of the match. }
Vasco Dias: And there he is, the god among men, the king among peasants, the one and only Imperial Champion then, now and forever, Roberto Verona.
Terri Morasco: You may need a towel to wipe all that shit off of your face.
Vasco Dias: Language Terri!
Terri Morasco: Language? You’re going to sit here and give Roberto a verbal BJ and expect me not to say anything?
Vasco Dias: I’m simply singing the praises of the greatest wrestler in the industry today.
Terri Morasco: Yeah, the greatest, which is why he hasn’t wrestled a single match since his last defense while his opponents have wrestled every week, Rob has even defended the Invictus Championship every week.
Vasco Dias: Oh boo hoo, he knew what he was getting into when he stole that belt from Jayson Matthews. It’s just my hope that Warren comes to his senses before Rob baits him into one of his traps.
{ Roberto hands over the Imperial Championship to the referee who reads him the rules before presenting the championship to Warren and then to Rob. Alison Valance stands in the middle of the ring with a mic in hand. }
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit and it is for the IWF IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!! To my right, weighing in at two hundred and three pounds, he is one of the challengers, the Chosen One… WARREN KANE!!! Behind me, weighing in at two hundred and five pounds he is the other challenger, the Infamous One… ROB DIAMOND!!!! And to my right, weighing in at two hundred and twenty one pounds, he is the reigning and defending IWF Imperial Champion… ROBERTO VERONA!!!!
{ The crowd boos viciously as Roberto smiles to himself, both Rob and Warren glaring at him. }
Vasco Dias: I hope you’re ready to see all your hopes and dreams of crowning a new champion come to a crashing stop because Roberto Verona is about to show the world why he is the best wrestler in the world today!
Terri Morasco: I’m sorry you feel that way Vasco because as far as I’m concerned we’re about to see a slaughter.
{ The referee preps all the competitors before calling for the bell, Rob and Warren go right at Roberto who quickly ducks out of the ring, narrowly missing their attack and watching from the outside. }
Vasco Dias: Smart move by the champ.
Terri Morasco: What a chicken shit!
{ Warren jumps out of the ring on one side, Roberto moves away but Rob jumps out on the other side blocking his escape and now Roberto finds himself between a rock and a hard place. Warren moves for him first and Roberto fires off forearm to the head of Warren but Rob clubs him over the back with a double axe handle. Roberto stumbles forward and Warren is right back in it with a spinning heel kick to the gut. Rob grabs Roberto by the hair and slams him backward into the crowd barrier! }
Vasco Dias: They can’t do this!
Terri Morasco: Why the hell not!?
Vasco Dias: They should be disqualified. It’s a triple threat, not a handi cap!
Terri Morasco: There are no disqualifications in a triple threat match and Roberto brought this on himself.
{ Warren gets a running starts and connects with the Ole Kick right to the face of Roberto as he lays against the crowd barrier. As soon as Warren moves away Rob comes running in with a sickening knee to the head of Verona. Rob grabs him by the head and pulls him up to his feet, he spins him around and throws him back first back into the crowd barrier and Warren comes in again with a stalling drop kick into the chest of Verona driving him into the barrier again! }
Vasco Dias: This is disgusting! Verona is the pinnacle of our industry! They can’t do this to him!
Terri Morasco: Looks like they can!
{ Rob storms his way over to the announce table and rips a steel chair up off the ground, he walks it back over to Verona and sets it up. Warren pulls Verona up and sends him onto the chair with a European upper cut. Rob hops onto the apron, walks down the side of the ring and gives Verona a crotch chop before running down the side of the ring and leaping off the apron and crashing right into Roberto with a double knee smash into the face of Roberto Verona!!! }
Vasco Dias: NO!!!!
Terri Morasco: That was awesome!!!
{ Warren quickly rips Roberto up off of the chair, twists him around and then throws him hard onto the steel chair with a SPLOSION SUPLEX!!! }
Terri Morasco: Did you see that!!!
Vasco Dias: I wish I hadn’t!!!
Terri Morasco: Warren Kane is on fire!!!
{ Warren is right to his feet and drops back against the crowd who all pat him on the chest and back as Rob looks over to Roberto Verona who appears to be out cold. Rob looks to Warren and asks him to pick Roberto up, he does and then he throws him into Rob who picks Verona up for the NAGASAKI ATOMIC DROP!!! }
Vasco Dias: They can’t do this!!!
Terri Morasco: It sure as hell looks like they can!!!
Vasco Dias: This is a travesty! This is deplorable! This is against the laws of nature!!!
Terri Morasco: This is the grave Roberto dug for himself!
{ Rob and Warren both nod to each other before making their way back into the ring, the crowd roars as both men move away from each other and start to circle one another. }
Terri Morasco: This is the main event the fans paid to see, Rob Diamond versus Warren Kane.
Vasco Dias: No! They shouldn’t be able to win without pinning the champion!
Terri Morasco: Those aren’t the rules!
{ Rob and Warren move in for each other into a tie up but Warren brings him into a side head lock and then a take down. Warren goes for the rear chin lock but Rob moves around him and sweeps his legs. Rob then goes for his own rear chin lock but Warren blocks it and nips up then catches Rob with a basement drop kick. Warren gets right back to his feet again, he gets a running start and hits the ropes hard, he comes back as Rob stands up and catches him with a flying forearm smash to the face! }
Terri Morasco: Look at Warren go!
Vasco Dias: No one but Verona deserves to win this match, both of these men should be ashamed of themselves!
{ Warren hypes himself up as Rob starts to get to his feet, Warren runs in with a knee to the side of the head and then pulls Rob into a swinging neck breaker! Warren is right up and he is hyped. He grabs Rob by the head and pulls him up, he throws him into the corner of the ring and gets the crowd behind him as he runs in for the OLE KICK! But Rob has it scouted and gets under him as Warren is hung up on the ropes. Rob crashes into the back of Warren with a splash and then pulls him out of the corner, throws him across the ring, Warren bounces of the opposing turn buckles and Rob crashes into him with a SPEAR!!! Rob goes for the pin. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }
Terri Morasco: Not nearly enough!
Vasco Dias: Thank god! It would be a dark day in IWF if Rob became the Imperial Champion.
Terri Morasco: Are you kidding me, Rob Diamond is IWF’s only triple crown champion, if anyone has earned the right to be the Imperial Champion it’s Rob Diamond!
{ Rob is right up to his feet, he pulls Warren up with him and throws him into the turn buckles again but Warren spring right out with a massive clothes line that sends Rob hard onto his back. Warren tries to regain his composure as Rob starts to get back up. Warren runs up behind Rob and grabs him as he stands and throws him head over heels with a release German suplex! Warren is right up and he hypes himself up again as the crowd roars in support of him. Rob starts to stand up and Warren runs up on him with a snap suplex and he quickly transitions it into a crossface in the center of the ring! }
Terri Morasco: Warren has him in a crossface!
Vasco Dias: The championship shouldn’t be able to change hands this way!
Terri Morasco: Well it just may if Warren can make him tap!
{ Rob struggles to crawl his way toward the ropes but Warren is wrenching hard. Rob looks like he can’t take much more when Roberto Verona comes out of nowhere with a double axe handle over the back of Warren Kane! }

Vasco Dias: YES!!!

Terri Morasco: That wasn’t even close!
{ Roberto staggers to his feet and rushes Warren as he starts to get up with a Brainwasher DDT! Roberto pops up not starting to find himself inside the ring, he sees Rob getting up and rushes him with the Madame Guillotine sending him head over heels! Roberto looks around and sees Warren starting to get up, he rushes him with a knee lift and then pulls him in for the FALLEN IDOL!!! Roberto goes for the cover on Warren. ONE! TWO! ROB BREAKS IT UP! }
Terri Morasco: Rob was there to break up the pin!
Vasco Dias: I just wish he’d die already!
Terri Morasco: Don’t be upset! Warren would have kicked out anyway!
{ Roberto is up to his feet and Rob hits him with a fist full of democracy, Roberto staggers back and falls into the corner. Warren is up and he connects with the OLE KICK! Roberto drops down but Rob is right there to set him up on the ropes and connect with the SHATTERED DREAMS!

Terri Morasco: They can do whatever the hell they want in this match!
{ Roberto tries to get to his feet as Rob and Warren run across the ring, bounce off the ropes and both men come flying through the ropes to the outside and crash into Verona with twin suicide dives!!!! }

Terri Morasco: It’s a triple threat, anything goes!
{ Rob and Warren are both right back to their feet and both men roll back into the ring at the same time, standing at the same time and they start to tea off on one another.

Terri Morasco: Pele Kick!

Rob quickly covers him. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!!!! }
Terri Morasco: He kicked out of the Diamond Cutter!!!!
Vasco Dias: I don’t even know what to say… I just wish Roberto was actually involved in this match…
{ Rob can’t believe it, he gets up to his feet and looks to the corner of the ring, he heads over to the corner and starts to climb up, he stands on the top rope and looks down on Warren Kane and then jumps off the top with the Fifty Star Frog Splash but Warren pulls up his knees and Rob comes crashing down chest first onto the knees of Warren Kane!!! }

Terri Morasco: As far as they need to!
{ Rob is laying on the apron just trying to catch his breath as Warren rolls off the apron to the outside of the ring. Rob starts to pull himself up as the crowd is suddenly caught off guard by the appearance of Jayson Matthews through the crowd with a referee!!! }
Terri Morasco: What!? No!!! Jayson Matthews is looking to steal the invictus championship right in the middle of this Imperial Championship match!
Vasco Dias: That’s what you get when you’re the invictus champion!
{ But before Jayson can do anything he is brought to a dead stop when “Full of Regret” by Danko Jones hits the pa and the crowd erupts into a mixed reaction for STEVE AWESOME!!! }
Terri Morasco: What the hell is Steve Awesome doing here!?
Vasco Dias: I think I have an idea!
{ Steve Awesome makes his way down to the ring, checking on Roberto briefly before stopping at Rob Diamond who is still on the apron, Matthews watches from off to the side and Warren is still down on the floor. }
Vasco Dias: He’s here to collect the county on Rob’s head!!!
{ Steve looks at Rob for a second who starts to roll off the apron as Steve looks back to Verona who tells him to “DO IT!!!” Steve looks at Rob again who stands on his feet and he mouths to him “Sorry…” before firing off the JAWBREAKER SUPERKICK!!!!! }

Vasco Dias: YES!!!!!!!

Terri Morasco: What!? No!
{ Jayson is out cold on top of Rob as Steve just looks down on the two of them, obviously not comfortable with what just happened but Roberto Verona is very happy as he gets to his feet and claps for Steve as he walks past him and heads up the ramp. }
Terri Morasco: I don’t believe this! Steve just cost Rob the Invictus Championship and very possibly the Imperial Championship!
Vasco Dias: Thank god for Steve Awesome!
Terri Morasco: Thank god! He just ruined this match!
Vasco Dias: No, he just saved it!
{ Steve disappears into the back as Rob and Jayson are still out of it. Roberto grabs Warren by the head and pulls him up to his feet and throws him back into the ring. Roberto follows him inside and looks to set him up. Warren is slow to his feet as Roberto comes in for the Silencer but Warren ducks it and instead grabs Roberto for THUNDERSTRUCK!!!! }
Terri Morasco: YES!!!!
{ Warren quickly covers Roberto Verona and the referee drops down. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }
Vasco Dias: The champion is still in it!
Terri Morasco: Barely! Warren nearly had him!
Vasco Dias: This ain’t horse grenades! Warren didn’t almost have anything!
{ Warren rages as Roberto slowly starts to get up, he comes at him fast but Roberto counters with a sharp jab to the midsection and the Requiescat In Pace!!!!! Roberto quickly pops up and pulls Warren up for the IDES OF MARCH!!!! }
Vasco Dias: IDES OF MARCH!!!!
{ Roberto makes the cover, Rob is still out cold on the outside as Jayson Matthews starts to come too seeing the Invictus Championship on his chest. }
Terri Morasco: NO! NOT LIKE THIS!!!
{ ONE! TWO! THREE!!!!!! }
Vasco Dias: YES!!!!!
Alison Valance: And your winner and STILL IWF IMPERIAL CHAMPION!!!! ROBERTO!!!! VERONA!!!!
{ Roberto clutches the championship close as the referee tries to hold his arm up, his music playing, Warren down, Rob out cold and Jayson Matthews trying to figure out what the hell happened. }
Vasco Dias: I told you! I told you that Roberto Verona would retain!
Terri Morasco: Only with the help of Steve Awesome!
Vasco Dias: I don’t know what you’re talking about! Steve attacked Rob, Roberto pinned Warren!
Terri Morasco: Don’t be so damn naïve!
{ Roberto stumbles to his feet and holds the championship over his head when “Brotherhood of Man” hits the PA as the crowd goes into a chorus of boos as Jake “The Ace” Conway steps out onto the apron. }
Terri Morasco: The Ace is here!
Vasco Dias: Oh no, what the hell is he doing!?
Terri Morasco: It looks like he’s sending a message to the champion!
{ Jake stands on the ramp as Roberto looks up at him, Jake points to the Night of the Immortals banner behind Roberto and then makes the “belt” motion around his waist as Roberto holds the championship ever closer.}
IWF IRON MAIDEN 2016 This years Iron Maiden will now be decided by the last woman standing after all others have been eliminated. Anybody who pins Kate Steele will become the IWF Shieldmaiden, regardless of the overall result, if Kate survives she will retain her belt. Avery Barnes vs Kate Steele (c) vs Fiona McFly vs Crystal Millar vs Shea O'Hara vs Paige Garcia Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is your main event of the evening and is the IRON MAIDEN MATCH!!! {The crowd leaps to their feet in anticipation for this high profile matchup.
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.}Alison Valance: From Cork, Ireland, weighing in at 135 pounds...SHEA...O’HAAAAAAARA!!! Terri Morasco: She has a chance to really make a name for herself here. Vasco Dias: She does, but can she make this moment count? {Shea enters one of the Maiden Chambers as “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.}Alison Valance: From Berkshire, England, she is the reigning Shieldmaiden of the IWF...KATE...STEEEELE!!! {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.}Terri Morasco: And it would seem that Kate Steele is getting the raw end of the deal here. Vasco Dias: Raw end nothing. She’s the Shieldmaiden and that title should be defended. {Kate too enters a pod as…

THE SILVER SCREEN QUEEN IS HERE!!!!
“I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross begins to blast all across the speakers and as that happens we are able to see Christina Millar emerging through the backstage curtain and the roaring boos of the crowd are deafening. She isn’t alone as her husband Jonathan comes out beside her. Crystal smiles as her grouping of paparazzi gather up in front of the ring and they snag photo after of the Latina beauty. She walks down the ramp as she begins to pie face the crowd. The crowd boos loudly in return as they glance back at the Hollywood hottie, and Jonathan stays attached to his wife.}Alison Valance: From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 120 pounds, The Silver Screen Queen...CRYSTAL MILLAAAAAR!!! {Her following of paparazzi meet her as does a red carpet. She takes in appeal of the cameras smiling as flashes begin to go off one after another. She then runs up the steps where she walks towards the middle of the apron. She blows kisses out to the crowd before she drops into a split entering the ring. The crowd begins to go nuts and she waits patiently for the match to begin.}Vasco Dias: Again!? Terri Morasco: Crystal hasn’t been involved in any of the decisions and has every right to try and get her way into the Diamonds Title Match at Night of the Immortals. {Crystal kisses her husband before heading into a pod.}Terri Morasco: Three of the four pods have been filled. One to go. Vasco Dias: Who is it? {"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.}Alison Valance: From Arlington, Texas...FIONA...MCFLYYYYY!!! Vasco Dias: Another one wasting our time here. Terri Morasco: Same thing with her as Crystal. Neither has lost any of the matches they’ve been in for the Diamonds Title...so why not give them another chance? Vasco Dias: Because we’re all sick of seeing them. {Fiona enters the final pod as everyone’s attention turns back to the curtain.}Alison Valance: And now, for the two competitors to start the match… {As the opening riffs play out loud, Avery jams her way onto the ramp, bobbing her head and shaking her hips in a dance. She dances about as if no one is watching or that she doesn't care if they are - her hands pumping above her head and the smile on her face only widening as she gets more and more into the music. She continues to dance her way down towards the ring, dropping her hands just to give a high five, handshake, or quick point to anyone fortunate enough to be a fan of hers. After stepping into the ring she looks out towards the crowd, her head still bouncing side to side along to the music, and blows a kiss towards those in attendance, offering a wink towards the cute brunette near enough to the front. Or the cute blonde. To the cute women in attendance, the wink is theirs. Avery sidles over to the corner and rests against it, grinning, awaiting the start.}Alison Valance: From Salem, Oregon, weighing in at 130 pounds...AVERY...BAAAARNES! Terri Morasco: The young woman who came in like a bat out of hell, now has a chance to add to her meteoric rise through the ranks. Vasco Dias: She has cooled off as of late though. Alison Valance: And now...for the final participant… {“Over You” by Girlicious plays throughout the arena. Seventeen seconds into the song, Paige comes out to a negative reaction as she holds her hand in the air above her head, her index finger pointed down at herself as she does a quick spin around before walking down to the ring, talking herself up to all of those in attendance and everyone watching at home.}Alison Valance: From San Diego, California, weighing 126 pounds…PAIGE GARCIAAAAA!!! {Paige jumps up on the apron, posing for the crowd, showing off her beauty before sitting on the middle rope and swinging her legs to the left, pulling the rest of her body in as well. She poses again for the crowd who boos as she prepares for the match.}Terri Morasco: With her sister at home, Paige looks to put herself at the forefront of the Garcia Brand. Vasco Dias: A very well developed brand, and she not only has the Night of Immortals opportunity in front of her, but a chance tonight as do the others not named Kate Steele to become the Shieldmaiden. {The two stretch as the referee checks them both for readiness.}Terri Morasco: That’s right folks. This match is being contested under elimination rules. The last Diamond standing will get the shot at the Diamonds Title at Night of the Immortals. Also, if someone is to eliminate Kate Steele, they becomes the Shieldmaiden. {The referee rings the bell and the two Diamonds circle the ring, locking up in the center of it before Paige locks Avery in a headlock, but Avery backs her into the ropes before shooting her to the far side. As Paige comes off the ropes, Avery ducks her head, looking for a Back Body Drop, but Paige kicks her in the face, standing her straight up before taking her down to the mat with a hard Clothesline. Paige poses for the crowd who boo before she waves her arms at them and picks Avery up, but is quickly surprised by Avery who rolls her up, but only gets a two count before Paige breaks free. As the two get up, Avery looks for a Clothesline of her own but Paige ducks, and as Avery turns around, Paige hits her with a lunging Cutter.}Terri Morasco: HEARTBREAKER! Vasco Dias: That caught everyone by surprise. {Paige pulls Avery to her feet before lifting her on her shoulders and dropping her with the “All About Me” (Rack Attack), covering Avery…

3!!!}Vasco Dias: What!? Terri Morasco: Paige just eliminated Avery before anyone else even got in the match! Alison Valance: Avery Barnes has been ELIMINATED! {Paige dusts off her hands as the referees help Avery out of the cage. Paige starts talking trash to each of the competitors in the chambers before celebrating to the crowd.}Terri Morasco: She’s really full of herself, isn’t she? Vasco Dias: You would be too if you were her. But...well...you’re you. {The door to the chamber is locked back up as the lights start to shimmer from one pod to another before a buzzer goes off, the light stopping on the pod of Crystal Millar. The pod is opened and the “Silver Screen Queen” steps out with her arms outstretched and a smile on her face. Paige waits as Crystal enters the ring.}Terri Morasco: The Silver Screen Queen takes a shot at Paige Garcia. Vasco Dias: Battle of the Latinas here. {Paige and Crystal lock up in the center of the ring but quickly break free as Paige slaps the taste out of Crystal’s mouth. Crystal turns but doesn’t take kindly to the gesture before turning around and tackling Paige to the ground, hammering away at the face of Paige who covers up before squirming out from under Crystal who stands to her feet, waiting for Paige to get to hers before taking her down with a “Flashing Lights” Chick Kick. She covers Paige but only gets a two count.}Terri Morasco: So close for Crystal. Vasco Dias: Is that not the story of her life? They should do a movie about it…….wait. {Crystal grabs hold of Paige and goes to hit a Snap Suplex but Paige blocks it not once, but twice, lifting Crystal into the air for a Suplex of her own, but Crystal falls behind Paige, landing on her feet before rolling her up from behind, again getting a two count before Paige gets free.}Terri Morasco: Two near falls for Crystal before she could get some rest between pods as Paige did earlier. Vasco Dias: Again with the coming close...this is the worst movie ever. {Paige gets up and Crystal goes for another “Flashing Lights” but Paige ducks and heads to the ropes, and as Crystal turns around, she’s met with a “Keep Dreaming” Bicycle Kick. Paige turns and goes for the cover, but only gets a two as her cover is interrupted by the lights going out and the spotlights flashing again between pods.}Terri Morasco: Here we go. Vasco Dias: Who’s it going to be? {The light stops on the pod of Kate Steele!}Terri Morasco: Here comes the Shieldmaiden! Vasco Dias: Trying to not only keep her title but win the shot at the Diamonds Title as well. {Kate explodes out of the pod and into the ring, dropping an elbow on the back of the head of Paige who was just getting to her feet. She then grabs hold of Paige by the hair and throws her through the ropes to the steel grating on the outside. Kate then turns her attention to Crystal who has pulled herself up in the corner, just in time to get hit by Kate and a running Yakuza Kick in the corner!}Terri Morasco: What a shot to the face of Crystal by Kate! Vasco Dias: Yeah, Kate isn’t the Shieldmaiden by accident. She beat Shea...who is in the pod still to win that title. {Kate grabs hold of Crystal by the hair and pulls her into a headlock before running up the corner and connecting with a Tornado DDT, hooking the leg, but only for a two count.}Terri Morasco: Kate has come out like a fireball here. Vasco Dias: Look out! {Paige is back in and goes for another “Keep Dreaming” this time on Kate, but Kate ducks and grabs hold of Paige around the waist, popping her hips, and driving Paige into the mat with a German Suplex.}Vasco Dias: Nice Suplex by Kate. Terri Morasco: Did you see Paige’s head bounce off the mat? {Kate goes for another pin, and again only manages a two count before Paige get’s the shoulder up. Kate stands and looks at both women on the mat, sizing them up before turning to the turnbuckle in front of the pod containing Shea and looking at Crystal before lunging off the top rope with a Blockbuster.}Terri Morasco: SILENCE IS GOLDEN! Vasco Dias: She hit her with it. {Before getting a pin attempt in though, Kate turns to Paige who is slowly to her feet and lifts the Garcia up on her shoulders, looking for the move she calls the “Punk Driver”. Paige squirms around however and lands behind Kate, grabbing hold of her head and dropping her with a Neckbreaker. All three Diamonds are on the ground as the lights go down and the strobing spotlights go off again.}Terri Morasco: There’s only two left. Vasco Dias: These three in the ring are ripe for the picking. {The light stops on the pod of Fiona McFly. The pod opens and Fiona exits, climbing to the top rope, as the other three women get to their feet before flying off and hitting them all with a Crossbody!}Terri Morasco: She took all of the rest out! Vasco Dias: That’s a way to make an entrance. {Fiona celebrates with the crowd who cheer her on. She grabs hold of Kate who is the freshest of these women and starts hitting her with some forearm shots before kicking her in the gut and lifting her up and over with a Snap Suplex. She keeps the front facelock cinched in before lifting Kate up and over again with another Suplex. She let’s go but gets her stomach stepped on by Crystal. Crystal stomps again as Fiona leans up against the bottom turnbuckle. She stomps again, not once, but twice more before backing up and running toward the corner with a Dropkick that takes Fiona out of the game for a minute.}Terri Morasco: Crystal with some nice offense here. Vasco Dias: And now she’s staring down Paige who is pulling herself up. {Crystal grabs hold of Paige and flips her over with a Snapmare before running to the ropes and coming back with a Dropkick to the face. She quickly crawls over but only gets a two count before Paige is able to roll her shoulder off the mat.}Terri Morasco: Crystal has been so close to eliminating Paige on a number of occasions here. Vasco Dias: Close is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades. {With Paige down, Crystal climbs to the top turnbuckle and looks down at the prone body of Paige. She then leaps off, looking for the 630 Corkscrew! Paige moves out of the way, and Fiona happens to be up, grabbing hold of Crystal as she straightens out, dropping her with the “Sending Off” (Diamond Cutter) as the crowd goes nuts!}Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD! Vasco Dias: Talk about out of nowhere. {Fiona covers Crystal after the sensational move…

Vasco Dias: And she goes right after Fiona, taking out the freshest member of the match. {Shea runs in and clobbers Fiona in the back of the head, sending her through the ropes and too the grate on the outside. She then turns her attention to the other redhead in the match, the woman who beat her for that belt, Kate Steele, running toward her as she stands on the outside, and dives through the ropes, spearing Kate who was slow to her feet on the outside of the ring.}Terri Morasco: Shea’s putting her body on the line here. Vasco Dias: That was kind of dumb. Terri Morasco: It’s the risk one needs to take in order to succeed. {Shea gets to her feet after the risky dive and sees Fiona pulling herself up to her feet. Shea climbs to the turnbuckle and grabs Fiona by the head before leaping off the corner and twisting into a Tornado DDT!}Terri Morasco: Shea with the moves tonight! Vasco Dias: She’s the freshest Diamond in there. Of course she’s got the upper hand. {Shea gets to her feet and celebrates, but it’s Paige coming up behind with a knee to the back of Shea, shoving her back into the turnbuckle. Shea stumbles back and Paige locks her hands around her waist before popping back and nailing a German Suplex on Shea, folding her up like an accordion.}Vasco Dias: What a suplex! Terri Morasco: Picture perfect. {Paige gets to her feet and has Kate pulling her out by the hair to the grate. The two girls trade blows back and forth. Kate gets the upper hand, shoving Paige into the mesh. As Paige bounces back, Kate looks for the “Punk Driver” again, and again Paige wriggles out of it. She spins Kate around and plants a boot into the midsection of the IWF Shieldmaiden. She then lifts her up onto her shoulders and pulls her forward, SLAMMING HER DOWN ON THE GRATE with an Alabama Slam type SPINEBUSTER!!!}Terri Morasco: I think Kate is out! Vasco Dias: Her head slammed right off that steel. {Paige stumbles back, grabbing hold of the cage, staring down at the damage she had caused as the referee’s rush in.}Terri Morasco: Even Paige looks shocked. Vasco Dias: Kate hasn’t moved. {The action continues in the ring with Fiona and Shea going at it as the situation on the outside looks rather serious. The referee’s discuss the situation and one starts over toward the ring announcer. Paige, hearing their discussion, pushes the medical personnel out of the way, grabbing hold of Kate and rolling her into the ring. She covers her and to his dismay, the official jumps into the ring and counts.

Terri Morasco: It seems like the referee was getting ready to excuse Kate from the contest after that Spinebuster. She wasn’t moving, and has barely moved since. Then, I think Paige heard and took advantage of the situation. {The medical staff grabs hold of the board and slowly carries Kate out of the chamber. As they get near the curtain, Kate gives the thumbs up to the crowd who applaud her.}Terri Morasco: Tough break for Kate Steele tonight. Vasco Dias: Who cares...WE HAVE A NEW SHIELDMAIDEN! Terri Morasco: That we do as the action continues. {Paige celebrates her title victory, but it’s cut short as Shea and Fiona hit her with a Double Dropkick, sending her into the turnbuckle. The two grab hold and hit her with a Double Suplex, sending her rolling under the bottom rope. The two of them get up and stare at one another before shaking hands and going at it with forearms to each other’s faces, Shea getting the upper hand, rocking Fiona into the ropes before sending her to the far side. Upon return, Fiona goes for a Clothesline but Shea ducks and as Fiona turns around, she’s blasted with a Pele Kick!}Terri Morasco: Huge shot to the face! Vasco Dias: Here’s the cover! {1!

NO! Fiona gets the shoulder up.
Shea is to her feet and stalks Fiona, leaping onto the second rope and Springboarding into a kick to the face of Fiona. Shea climbs to the top rope and looks for the move she calls the “St. Patrick’s Parade” (450 Splash) but Fiona moves out of the way and Shea crashes to the mat below. Fiona goes to capitalize, but the minute she notices Paige in the ring and on the top rope, it’s too late as Paige connects with a huge MISSILE DROPKICK!!!}Vasco Dias: A huge Missile Dropkick! Terri Morasco: She took out Fiona, and Shea is slow to her feet after the crash and burn. {Paige gets up and grabs hold of Shea by the hair, lifting her onto her shoulders and dropping her with the “All About Me” (Rack Attack), covering Shea quickly, hooking both legs.

They stand up to one another and talk trash in the center of the ring before they hit one another in the center of the ring. They then begin to trade blows in the center of the ring as the two of them go back and forth, the crowd cheering for Fiona and booing Paige who gets the upper hand with a knee to the gut. She pushes Fiona into the corner and throws her to the ropes, grabbing hold of her and hitting her with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, quickly falling into the cover, only to get a two at the last second, Fiona shooting her shoulder off the mat.}Terri Morasco: Pure resiliency by Fiona! Vasco Dias: Paige doesn’t look happy. {The new Shieldmaiden smacks the mat and gets to her feet, stalking Fiona. She grabs hold of her and lifts her into the Torture Rack position, looking for another “All About Me” but Fiona manages to wriggle off, spinning Paige right into the “Sending Off” Cutter!!!

Fiona celebrates, holding her arms in the air on the turnbuckle as confetti falls from the ceiling.}Terri Morasco: FIONA MCFLY IS THE IRON MAIDEN!!! Vasco Dias: I’ll give her credit...she won. She finally won the big one. Terri Morasco: FIONA MCFLY IS GOING TO NIGHT OF THE IMMORTALS TO TAKE ON ETERNITY!! Vasco Dias: Let’s see if she can take it to a whole other level.
