----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Welcome to Monday night Sacrifice. We’ve got a big show for you tonight but we’re going to jump right into the action with IWF new comer Brock taking on the ever impressive… GIBBERG!
Vasco Dias: Shouldn’t this be on the pre show?
Terri Morasco: Can’t you just pretend to be excited?
Vasco Dias: Give me a reason to be.
{ Lights go out as Hero by Skillet begins over the PA. As the music picks up, Brock emerges, and strikes an arms out pose on the stage. As the music kicks it up again, the flash of pyros burst upward, and the lights come up as Brock makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands along the way. He slides in the ring, and poses in the corner, waiting for the match to begin. }Terri Morasco: The crowd seems excited for IWF newcomer Brock!
Vasco Dias: Excited for what? Another indy darling coming into IWF to fail against the real power houses of the industry?
Terri Morasco: I hope Brock makes you eat those words.
{ Brock stands across the ring from Gibberg who is trying to get the crowd hyped but Brock stands ready on the other side eyeing him up. }Terri Morasco: Brock looks right at home here on the big stage that is IWF!
Vasco Dias: We’ll see.
{ The referee calls for the bell and Brock explodes right out of the corner and connects with a running drop kick on Gibberg and sends him flying into the corner. Brock is right up as the crowd roars. Gibberg flies out and Brock ducks the clothes line attempt and grabs him for a inverted neck breaker. Brock gets right back to his feet as Gibberg tries to get up but Brock hits the ropes and comes back with a running bulldog! }Terri Morasco: Brock is looking impressive here!
Vasco Dias: Easy to do against Gibberg.
{ Brock is right up to his feet as the crowd is firmly starting to get behind him. Gibberg gets back to his feet and comes at Brock hard, Brock ducks the clothesline attempt and hits the Pele kick to the head of Gibberg! Brock nips up to his feet and runs to the corner of the ring and lets out a roar as he leaps up to the top rope. He looks down on Gibberg and leaps off with the SPIRAL TAP!!! }Terri Morasco: SPIRAL TAP!
Vasco Dias: Not bad. Not bad at all.
{ Brock is up to his feet and pumps his fists as the crowd roars for him again. Gibberg tries to get to his feet as Brock comes off the ropes and grabs Gibberg with a DRAGONRANA!!!! }Terri Morasco: That has got to be it for Gibberg!
{ Brock is right up now, looking confident, he heads to the corner of the ring and starts to climb up. The crowd cheers for him as he signals for the end of the match. He leaps off the tope rope with the LET DOWN! 630 Cannonball Senton!!!!! Brock hooks the leg of Gibberg as the referee drops down for the count. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!!! }Terri Morasco: He did it! Brock won his debut match!
Vasco Dias: Not bad for a new guy, now let’s see what he can do against Roberto Verona.
Terri Morasco: Brock made a statement here tonight and that’s all that matters.
{ Brock leaps onto the second ropes in the corner and holds his hands up as the crowd chants his name. }----------------------------------------------------------

”A sit down with Nighthawk: Part 1.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ We open on the ever charming Willy Carter seated in a director’s chair with the Wrestling Machine Nighthawk to his right, the IWF banner behind them as Willy welcomes us to the set. }Willy Carter: Welcome to a Sitdown with Nighthawk, I am Willy Carter and this is my guest, “The Wrestling Machine” Nighthawk. Let’s get right down to it. So Nighthawk, why do you think you deserve a shot at the Man of Steel Championship?
{ Nighthawk draws a deep breath before answering. }Nighthawk: "Well, Willy, I've been spinning my wheels. No one can deny that. I deserve this shot, for one simple reason. I was man enough to look Ryan Shane in the eye and ask for it."
{ Willy’s eyes go wipe as he grins from ear to ear. }Willy Carter: Deserve is a big word especially when you look at all the hoops Ryan Shane had to jump through to earn his shot at the championship. Do you feel you're just a better representation of what the Man of Steel Champion should be?
Nighthawk: "I'd like the shot to prove that, Willy. That's all I can hope for. A 1-on-1 shot for a major title is something that's eluded me."
{ Willy nods his head as Nighthawk doesn’t seem to be enjoying where this line of questioning is going right off the bat. }Willy Carter: I see, so what you're saying is Ryan Shane isn't a good representative for what the Man of Steel Champion should be then?
{ Nighthawk starts to respond before Willy even finishes. }Nighthawk: "I'm not saying that at all. I've known Ryan Shane for a long time. I've wrestled him all over the world, and I respect him. But I want to be the best. And in order to do that, I have to beat Ryan Shane. He does deserve to be the Man of Steel Champion, and right now, he deserves that championship. I just want a shot."
{ Willy almost chuckles under his breath as he shuffles through the cue cards in his hands. }Willy Carter: I'm not trying to stir the pot here, just in IWF there is almost always an ulterior motive. I know many look at you as an inspiration in this business, a man whose dedication to the sport cannot be questioned so I am curious what your opinion on Ryan Shane is? It is a well known fact that he has been contemplating retirement for a while and the rumor is he only signed a contract extension after becoming Man of Steel Champion. Does that sound like someone who is as dedicated as you or just someone looking for an excuse to keep going?
{ Nighthawk leans forward cutting Willy off with his response. }Nighthawk: "Since it's feeling more and more like you want nothing out of this interview save a big splashy headline, I'll cut you off right here. You're not going to get one out of me. I respect Ryan Shane. I respect what he battled through to become the Man of Steel Champion. I respect that the championship means as much to him as it clearly does. I hope to give him a battle worthy of that championship and its rich lineage. And I hope to win that battle."
Willy Carter: Hey now, you can't fault a guy for trying? It's well documented the lengths Ryan Shane went to to win and retain the Man of Steel Championship, even going so far as offering up his mentor as an appetizer to the former champion, Zasshu. What lengths will you go to to beat him?
{ Willy tries to get the conversation back under control but Nighthawk isn’t playing into the mind game as he answers with steely resolve. }Nighthawk: "The answer to that is simple. I will run through every limit my body and mind has put in front of me. If my last act as a professional wrestler is winning the Man of Steel championship, I will consider it a good run."
{ Willy smirks as he fires off the next question without thinking. }Willy Carter: Are you willing to end Ryan Shane's career?
{ Nighthawk responds immediately. }Nighthawk: "NO. But that's not up to me. I've separated the shoulders of 3 men with the Hangman's Clutch. And I hated every time I did it. I hated it because those men refused to tap out, refused to understand they had been checkmated. If I found myself in the similar position, where Ryan Shane was checkmated and refused to understand it, I'd cross that bridge when I came to it."
Willy Carter: What if he's willing to end your career to keep the Man of Steel Championship?
{ Nighthawk draws another deep breath before answering this question, a thought that has obviously crossed his mind. }Nighthawk: "Again, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
{ Too be continued... }----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”A sit down with Ryan Shane: Part 1.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ We come back to Willy Carter in the director’s chair, this time with Ryan Shane seated to his right, the Man of Steel Championship over his shoulder. Willy smiles as he shuffles the cue cars in his hands. }Willy Carter: Welcome back, Willy Carter here with the Man of Steel Champion, Ryan Shane. Ryan, let’s not split hairs here. What is it you hope to accomplish as Man of steel Champion?
{ Ryan’s response is quick a decisive. }Ryan Shane: It's simple. I want to be the very best, like no one ever was. That has always been my goal in professional wrestling. I know a lot of guys would say the same thing. As Man of Steel champion I think I am solidifying my claim as one of the best the IWF has to offer. I know a lot of people look down on the Man of Steel title because it isn't the Imperial championship. I understand people want the biggest prize the IWF has to offer. The thing is, and I said this on Sacrifice last week, the Man of Steel is not the second place trophy people think it is. I don't see it that way. I know the man I defeated twice Zasshu doesn't see it that way. As long as I'm Man of Steel champion I'm going to do my best to have great matches. I want the fans and the guys in the back to be invested in this title. I want it to be something to strive for, not a belt to ignore.
{ Willy nods before going off the script slightly. }Willy Carter: I'm sensing some disdain in your voice, are you implying the other men on the roster over look the Man of Steel Championship?
{ Ryan nods with an obvious look of anger on his face as he answers. }Ryan Shane: I think some of them do. I'm not sure if it's always been this way or not. Here is what I do know. Ever since I was given the chance to be the Man of Steel champion I looked at it as an opportunity to prove myself. I wanted the belt and I did whatever I could to win it. The Man of Steel title is a stepping stone to greatness, but it's more than that. I believe that being Man of Steel champion makes me great, it proves it. Nighthawk gets that. I can't be blamed if the other men of the roster don't see it. If they are waiting around to be handed Imperial title shots, they better get used to waiting. In the IWF you earn your place. The Man of Steel title is a prize anyone should be happy to claim. All they have to do is open their eyes and realize that.
{ Willy sees his chance to stir the pot. }Willy Carter: Speaking of Nighthawk, do you feel he's the most worthy contender or just the first man to speak up?
Ryan Shane: Nighthawk is a great wrestler, he really is. The problem with him is, he thinks he's the greatest wrestler. Do I think we will have a great match? I do. Is he the most worthy contender? Probably not. It's like I said, a lot of people are looking past the Man of Steel championship. There aren't a lot of people wanting it. Nighthawk truly does. It helps his cause that he was the first man to speak up, probably would have been the only man though. This match between Nighthawk and myself may only be happening because there is no other option. So yeah, maybe it's a bit of right place and the right time. I know he is going to bring it either way. Will it be enough? Let's just say I don't plan on losing.
{ Ryan seems sure of himself as Willy does his best to draw some more emotion from the defending champion. }Willy Carter: Nighthawk has said there is no length he won't go to to win the Man of Steel Championship, knowing what you went thought to capture and retain it, what length will you go to to keep it against Nighthawk?
{ Ryan leans forward slightly as he grips the Man of Steel Championship over his shoulder, seemingly mulling over what Willy just said. }Ryan Shane: I'm sure that Nighthawk said that. Does he mean it? I'm not so sure. Nighthawk is all about honor and fair play. Simply put...I can't say the same about myself. I've never claimed to be beyond a little underhandedness if that's what it takes. This good guy act is pretty new to me. That being said, after all I have been through to be the Man of Steel champion I think I'm afforded a little leeway. I don't think I'll need it though. I said I don't plan on losing, and I mean that. I know I can beat Nighthawk. He knows I can beat him. This title is coming home with me, one way or another.
Willy Carter: I asked Nighthawk this question and now I'll ask you, are you willing to end his career if that's what it takes to beat him?
{ Shane thinks about this one for several moments before answering, he wants to be clear but also doesn’t want to say anything too heelish in nature. }Ryan Shane: That's a tough one. I've just had someone close to me lose his career to injuries suffered inside of the cage. I don't plan on going out there and trying to end the career of Nighthawk. All I'm going to do is try to win. If he keeps getting up or won't give up? There is nothing I can do about that. If Nighthawk's career ends that night it will be his own fault. The question is this, is he willing to put his career on the line to beat me? Every time you step in the ring you never know what can happen. I know the risks involved in a Man of Steel match, does he?
{ Willy just nods as he answers. }Willy Carter: That's something we're going to find out in a few weeks. I know Nighthawk prides himself on his wrestling ability, his skill set is strictly designed to break an opponent down. When you're locked inside that steel cage with him how do you plan on countering a man who knows every move in the book?
Ryan Shane: Nighthawk might call himself "The Wrestling Machine" and he may be well versed in many different moves from around the world. I've already said I respect him for what he can do in the ring. But there is no secret plan to beat him. Turn into any previous episode of Sacrifice and there is a good chance you might see Nighthawk lose a match. I know the rules are different in a Man of Steel match. I'm not some uneducated idiot rambling on Twitter. I also didn't win the Man of Steel title on accident. So if you want the secret to beating him? It's simple...be Ryan Shane.

SINGLES MATCH
Addisyn Starr (Steele O’Buffington) vs James Franklin Karn
----------------------------------------------------------
{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.}{The lights go dim as the bass drum and guitar siren sound from the opening of "American Monster" by Everclear comes blaring over the speakers, "You better run....you better run" A rain of gold pyro comes down over the entrance as JFK comes walking out from the back. "On the edge of the American Dream, a perfect place for someone like me" Wearing his new "American Monster" T-Shirt with his classic Jack Daniels inspired logo on the back and his normal wrestling gear. He makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with a few fans and rolls into the ring; "Ah yeah, you better believe there's a monster in me" 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, he then rips his shirt off up over his head and tosses it into the crowd going to his corner ready for his match.}{The match begins as Steel and JFK lock up, but JFK is easily overpowered and shoved backwards
onto his back. JFK rolls over and jumps onto his feet where he manages to dodge under a rushing clothesline, Steel spins back around where JFK puts a dropkick into the knee of O’Buffington but SOB stays on his feet and just backs away. JFK jumps up and puts an elbow into the side of Steel’s jaw that sends Steel against the ropes. Steel bounces back and takes a drop toe hold that brings the big man flat on his face. JFK runs to the ropes, comes running back and puts a knee drop into the back of Steel’s head! The fans are getting behind the veteran as he steps back and waits as Steel is pushing himself back to his feet where he runs in and delivers a pretty vicious Shinning Wizard Steel flips over holding his head and JFK makes the cover 1...2… but Steel throws JFK off of him with force before spinning over and getting back to his feet.}Terri Morasco: JFK is taking it to JFK, he’s in control of this match like we’ve never seen anybody before against this man.
Vasco Dias: He’s the battle scared veteran, he knows his way around the ring, plus he has a lot to prove at this point…. he’s been beaten by this man twice already.
Terri Morasco: That’s enough reason to bring your best if I’ve ever heard one.
{JFK comes rushing at Steel looking for a running knee lift, but is caught around his waist as Steel grabs him out of midair. Steel lifts and looks for a German suplex, but JFK throws his elbow backwards and catches Steel in the nose. Steel puts JFK down, but remains a hold of him. JFK spins around and pokes Steel right in the eye. Steel steps back holding his eyes while JFK readies for another attack. However as he is pressed against the ropes, he is tapped on the shoulder and there is Addisyn Starr. When suddenly, with the ref’s back turned, he is low blowed after Addisyn drops to her knees on the apron. JFK staggers backwards where he is spun around and then ELEVATED POWERBOMB!}Terri Morasco: Oh no! Addisyn again is getting involved in these matches! She just cost JFK this match!
Vasco Dias: She’s the wrestler in this match.
Terri Morasco: No she isn’t!
{Steel puts his foot on JFK’s chest and goes for the pinfall, but Addisyn waves him off and tells him to keep going for the attack. Steel grabs JFK and pulls him to his feet, JFK is whipped across the ring and then given a vicious clothesline. He takes JFK and lifts him back up and this time throws him hard into the corner. He grabs JFK and throws him onto the top rope and then comes off and then throws him off with an overhead belly to belly suplex off the top rope. Addisyn at this point climbs onto the apron and tells Steel to drive JFK into the ground again. Steel lifts JFK up and then brings him down with a jackhammer style suplex!}Terri Morasco: This should do it… finally.
Vasco Dias: Another dominating performance for Steel O’Buffington.
{Steel is laying for the pin, but Addisyn slides into the ring and tells Steel to get up. Steel looks a little confused before AS points at her chest and tells him she is going for the pin.}Terri Morasco: Not this nonsense again!
{Steel rolls out of the ring and holds his arms up in victory as Addisyn covers and counts along with her hand in the air. 1...2… she is flipped over and JFK has her in a roll up 1...2...3! JFK wins!}Terri Morasco: Oh my god! Oh my god! JFK WINS!
Vasco Dias: What!? No! That.. what!?
Terri Morasco: She got too cocky and lost!
{Steel comes charging into the ring but JFK rolls away and jumps into the crowd, looking battered and bruised, but victorious. Addisyn is in the ring screaming at the top of her lungs that JFK “cheated”.}----------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and the winner receives ten points in the Heiress to the Throne Tournament.
{"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}Alison Valance: From Norwich, England, weighing in at 126 pounds...KAYLA...RICHARDS!
Terri Morasco: Kayla Richards back on the scene here in the IWF.
Vasco Dias: She is, but things have changed from the last time we saw her.
Terri Morasco: Indeed they have, the landscape around here is completely different.
Alison Valance: And her opponent…
{“Over You” by Girlicious plays throughout the arena. Seventeen seconds into the song, Paige and Sara come out to a negative reaction as they holds their hand in the air above their heads, their index fingers pointed down at themselves as they do a quick spin around before walking down to the ring, talking themselves up to all of those in attendance and everyone watching at home.}Alison Valance: Accompanied to the ring by Paige Garcia, from San Diego, California, weighing 135 pounds…SARA Garcia!
{The two sisters jump up on the apron, posing for the crowd, showing off their beauty before each sitting on the middle rope and swinging their legs to the left, pulling the rest of their bodies in as well. They pose again for the crowd who boo as the two talk strategy for the match.}Terri Morasco: She had a huge win over Kate Steele via submission a couple of week’s back.
Vasco Dias: Of course she did. She’s no slouch...especially being with her sister who is the Shieldmaiden of the IWF.
{The two women are in the ring and the bell rings. They lock up and it’s Kayla spinning around Sara before shoving the back of her head with a smile as Sara turns around with a glare. The two get closer and lock up again and this time it’s Sara going behind Kayla, but then grabs her by the arm and spins her around into a huge SLAP that spins her off and takes her down to a knee where Sara grabs her by the hair and slams her face into the mat!}Terri Morasco: I guess Sara didn’t like that shove to the back of the head.
Vasco Dias: It’s disrespectful, and she made her pay for it.
{Sara grabs hold of Kayla and kicks her in the gut before hooking her up and lifting her up and over with a Vertical Suplex, swinging her hips and getting back to their feet, and Suplexing her again, swinging the hips and getting to their feet again, but Kayla blocks the Suplex, only to catch some knees to the gut before Sara lifts her up and over a third time.}Vasco Dias: A triple set of Vertical Suplexes from Sara!
Terri Morasco: She has said in the past, that’s her favorite move.
{Sara floats into the cover but only gets a two count. She gets up again and goes to continue her offense, but Kayla flings her arms up, breaking Sara’s grasp before hitting a few knife-edged chops to the chest of Garcia, backing her into the corner. She then throws her to the opposite side with Sara hitting the turnbuckle hard, falling to a knee before Kayla charges in with a huge Splash in the corner. Sara staggers out where Kayla grabs her and flips her around with a huge Power Slam, hooking the leg and getting a two count of her own before Sara rolls her shoulder off the mat.}Terri Morasco: Both women getting near falls here, but neither with enough to put the other away yet.
Vasco Dias: It’s the opening moments of the match...it’s too early for either of these two.
{Kayla grabs Sara by the hair and pulls her up to her feet, sending her to the far side, ducking her head down for what is presumed as a Back Body Drop, but Sara kicks her right in the face, standing her up straight before taking her down with a huge Clothesline, followed by another, before grabbing her by the head and spinning her into a Neckbreaker, again hooking the leg, only to get a two.}Terri Morasco: Again with a near fall.
Vasco Dias: That was a little closer than before.
{Her sister urging her on, Sara picks up Kayla and sends her into the ropes before hitting a Spinebuster in revolving “Enforcer” fashion, grabbing the legs of Kayla to lock in a submission, looking like the beginnings of the Sharpshooter, but Kayla fights and fights, eventually getting a foot free before tripping Sara up and grapevining the legs, locking in the “DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER...YOUR LEG IS NOT”!!!}Terri Morasco: She’s got the hold locked in good and tight!
Vasco Dias: Sara can get to the ropes!
{The referee has his back to the ropes, asking Sara if she gives up, and with his back turned, Paige pushes the ropes in closer, allowing Sara to grab hold of it with Paige yelling at the referee to take notice, which he does, breaking up the hold.}Terri Morasco: The assist from Paige there!
Vasco Dias: It’s only cheating if you get caught.
{Kayla leans out between the ropes, yelling at Paige who smiles and holds up the Shieldmaiden Title to the boo of the crowd. As Kayla turns back to the ring, her face is met with Sara’s boot and the “Knockout Kiss” Sidekick!}Terri Morasco: The distraction pays dividends here!
Vasco Dias: It’s nobody’s fault but Kayla’s for trying to talk trash with our Shieldmaiden.
Terri Morasco: The numbers game catching up to Kayla here.
{Sara lifts Kayla to her feet and on her shoulders, looking for the “All About Me”...KAYLA ESCAPES! She bounces off the ropes for the Sister of Mercy Kick, but Sara ducks, and as Kayla gets up to her feet, Sara hits her with ANOTHER “KOCKOUT KISS”! Kayla goes down in the center of the ring, and Sara locks in the “Bow to the Queen” in the center of the ring. Kayla, semi-out from the double kicks, has nowhere to go and soon taps out to the hold in the center of the ring as the bell rings.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, earning ten points in the Heiress to the Throne...SARA...GARCIA!!!
{Sara celebrates as Paige rolls into the ring, joining her sister, raising her arm in the middle of the ring as the crowd boos. The two hug and go to leave the ring as we cut to a break.}----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”The face of nothing…”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The lights in the arena fade a hot pink as Jekle and Hyde hit the pa to a mixed reaction. }Terri Morasco: Two weeks ago this man took on Steve Awesome in an unsanctioned match and may have ended his career.
Vasco Dias: Good, I got tired of seeing Steve Awesome do absolutely nothing but remind of us of how good he used to be.
Terri Morasco: You’re in the minority as many are very upset with how vicious Rob was.
Vasco Dias: Rob!? Steve was the one who started this.
{ Rob Diamond steps out from behind the curtain as half the crowd cheers and half the crowd boos. He doesn’t even look at them as he marches down the ramp. }Terri Morasco: Wow… It’s been a long time since I heard anyone boo Rob Diamond.
Vasco Dias: What are they booing? He did exactly what he said he was going to do, Rob didn’t ask for the war, he just finished it!
{ Rob rolls in under the bottom rope and pops right up to his feet ripping the microphone out of the hands of Allison Valance as his music fades. He looks around the arena as the ruckus British crowd lays into him with cheers and boos. }Rob Diamond: You people think I actually care if you cheer or boo me?
{ He looks around as the cheers start to fade away and the boos get louder. }Rob Diamond: Every single one of you can go right ahead and ***k yourselves!
{ And now the whole arena turns on him. }Rob Diamond: STEVE AWESOME ATTACKED ME! STEVE AWESOME ENDED MY CAREER! SO I ENDED HIS!!!
{ “Shut-The-Fuck-Up!” }Rob Diamond: The supposed Face of the Franchise who couldn’t buy a win here in IWF took it upon himself to attack me! He decided money was more important than out friendship! He made things personal when he gave me a career ending concussion! And you wanna boo me like I’m the bad guy! Like I’m the one who’s cheated on every girl he’s ever loved!? Like I’m the one who brags about being a two time heel of the year winning!? Like I’m the one who attacks his best friends and ends their career!? You wanna boo me!?
{ The crowd just gets louder with their boos. }Rob Diamond: Yeah, that’s what I figured. Steve Awesome hasn’t done shit for IWF! He’s wrestled less than a hand full of matches! I’ve been here since the beginning! I fought against Jake Conway, Mike Laszlo and Roberto Verona! I tried to end the bullshit survival of the fittest that’s been dragging this show down for months and just because the Face of the Franchise rears his head, kicks me in mine and I take it personally now I’m the bad guy!?
{ “Shut-The-Fuck-Up!” }Rob Diamond: You know what? I was gonna come out here and give you an update on my condition but you people don’t f***ing deserve it.
{ With that Rob flips the mic backwards over his shoulder as his music hits and walks to the ropes, dropping down and rolling out. The crowd continues to boo as he marches his way to the back with a sneer on his face. }----------------------------------------------------------
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Johnny Gillmen vs Todd Williams vs Zasshu
----------------------------------------------------------
{ Cannons shooting jets of water blast high into the air as Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" begins to play. A lone blue spotlight appears on-stage as Johnny Gillmen steps in from behind the curtain, sporting aqua blue, olive green, and silver tights with matching boots and tassels and a T-shirt bearing the logo of his alma mater. Carrying his multi-colored surfboard with him, Johnny passes through, high-fiving fans along the way before sliding his longboard underneath the ring and hopping in to wait for his opponent. }{ Be Somebody begins to blast all across the speakers. The moment it does that is when Todd Williams comes out with his girlfriend Kimberly Matthews. Todd smiles as he runs out slapping the stretched out hands of all of the fans. That are cheering him on. He runs down to the ring and quickly slides inside. He holds his hand up as his girlfriend takes his place on the side of the ring. He bounces around passionately waiting for the match to start. }{ 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. }Terri Morasco: You could almost call this next match an Invictus Showcase as it pits the champion against two of his top contenders.
Vasco Dias: Contenders? Gillmen and Williams? I don’t know what you’re smoking but you shouldn’t use during the show.
Terri Morasco: I’m just saying, Todd Williams and Johnny Gillmen are both top contenders in the Invictus rankings and what with the recent rules change a win over the champion would definitely put either of them in the number one contender spot.
Vasco Dias: Well it’s a good thing neither of them are going to win, isn’t it?
{ The three men al stare at each other as the referee explains the rules. }Terri Morasco: Triple threat match, no count outs, no disqualifications, exactly the same rules as an Invictus match up.
Vasco Dias: Which means it suits the champion more than his opponents.
{ The referee calls for the bell and both men make for Zasshu as Laura yells at him to get the hell out of the ring. Zasshu quickly bails as Todd and Johnny collide with the ropes and Zasshu looks up from the outside. }Vasco Dias: Smart move by the champ.
Terri Morasco: He’s a coward and we all know it.
{ Todd doesn’t hesitate as he quickly turns and grabs Johnny for a bridging German suplex that he instantly kicks out of. Both men get to their feet and Todd ties Johnny up and drives him back into the ropes. Gillmen fires off a stiff kick that breaks the hold and flies out of the corner looking for a clothes line but the veteran Todd Williams drops him into a crossface crippler as Zasshu continues to observe from the outside. }Terri Morasco: Williams is on his game tonight.
Vasco Dias: Only as long as the champion is outside of the ring.
Terri Morasco: Hiding from competition.
{ Todd wrenches back hard but Gillmen is able to claw his way to the ropes and break the hold. Todd is right up to his feet as is Gillmen. Todd connects with a running European upper cut that sends Johnny flying backward into the corner. Todd runs across the ring and bounces off the opposing turnbuckles and comes back with a flying forearm on Johnny in the corner. Todd rips him out of the corner with the T-Will Suplex and moves right into the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Todd almost scored a quick win.
Vasco Dias: Todd didn’t almost score anything. He’s just treading water until Zasshu is ready to enter the ring.
Terri Morasco: You mean the coward of a champion?
Vasco Dias: I mean the best wrestler in the world today.
{ Todd is right up to his feet and lets out a roar as he grabs Gillmen who quickly rolls him up for ONE! And a kick out. Both men get right to their feet and Gillmen grabs him with the BRAIN DRAIN!!!! Todd fights as hard as he can as Gillmen starts to drive him down to a knee. Todd fires off several right hands and manages to break the hold but Gillmen delivers a dropkick to the kneeling Todd Williams and sends him back first into the mat. }Terri Morasco: Gillmen is showing off his skills.
Vasco Dias: Skills? The kid was trained by Jack Gaither, he has no skills.
{ The fans are firmly behind Gillmen as he runs to the ropes, bounces off and catches Todd with a wicked head scissors take down and drives Todd’s head right into the mat. Gillmen rolls over him and hooks his leg as the referee drops down. ONE! KICK OUT! Gillmen is right up to his feet and grabs Todd as he tries to get back to his feet but is dropped with an arm drag takedown driving him face first into the mat again. Gillmen looks for an armbar but Todd manages to get to the ropes. }Terri Morasco: Todd Williams is showing his perseverance.
Vasco Dias: Todd Williams is, was and will always be a joke. This match is for Zasshu to lose.
Terri Morasco: Zasshu? He hasn’t even stepped into the ring!
Vasco Dias: He doesn’t need to, he’s above this match!
{ Zasshu watches with Laura at his side as Gillmen gets back to his feet, he grabs Todd and pulls him up to his feet but Todd drives a hard elbow into the gut of Johnny Gillmen. Todd connects with KEEP DREAMING! Gillmen drops to his back and Todd heads for the ropes and bounces off, he comes back with the STAR POWER! Todd nips up to his feet and gets the crowd roaring as he connects with DREAM ON!!! Todd hooks the leg as the referee drops down. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Todd Williams nearly won the match!
Vasco Dias: Todd is facing a man with no experience!
Terri Morasco: He’s supposed to be facing the Invictus Champion!
{ Todd Williams is right up to his feet and heads to the corner of the ring, he starts to climb as the fans pop huge for him. He stands on the top rope and signals for the Nightmare but Zasshu comes out of nowhere, leaps onto the apron and pushes Todd Williams and sends him somersaulting to the outside of the ring where he lands hard on his back!!! }Vasco Dias: The champion strikes!!!!!
Terri Morasco: What a coward!!!!!
Vasco Dias: He’s picking his spots, that’s why he’s a champion!
{ Laura claps for Zasshu as he stands proudly on the apron when Johnny Gillmen comes from the side and drives a roaring elbow into the side of Zasshu’s head and sends him flying off the apron and crashing into the crowd barrier. Gillmen jumps out of the ring and goes right for the Invictus Champion. He grabs him from behind, pulls him up to his feet, turns him around and throws him hard into the crowd barrier with a release German suplex! }Vasco Dias: He can’t do that! He can’t treat the champion that way!
Terri Morasco: Why not?
Vasco Dias: Because he’s the champion!
{ Gillmen looks happy with himself as he pulls Zasshu up to his feet now and then throws him with all his might right into the ring post, Zasshu bounces off hard and rolls to his side and drops to the padded floor. Gillmen makes the belt symbol around his waist as he approaches the champion. He pulls him up by the mask and throws him into the ring. Gillmen rolls into the ring and pulls Zasshu up to his feet. }Terri Morasco: This is it! He’s going to put Zasshu away!
{ Gillmen pulls Zasshu up onto his shoulders for the Hang Ten. Todd Williams comes in from the side with the Keep Dreaming!!!! Johnny drops Zasshu and Todd hits the SWEET DREAMS!!!! Gillmen is down and Todd heads for the corner again, he climbs to the top rope and signals for the end again. Todd leaps off the top rope but Gillmen rolls out of the way and Todd lands flat on his back. Gillmen quickly pulls Todd up to his feet and hoists him over his shoulder for the HANG TEN!!!! }Terri Morasco: TODD IS DOWN! HANG TEN!
Vasco Dias: This can’t happen!!!!
{ Gillmen scrambles to his feet and goes to pin Todd when Zasshu blasts him with the Buenas Noches Kick and sends Gillmen rolling through the ropes to the outside as Zasshu quickly leaps onto Todd Willaims. Laura pounds the apron as the referee counts. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }Vasco Dias: YES!!!!
Terri Morasco: Bullshit!!!!!
{ Zasshu quickly rolls out of the ring as Laura collects the Invictus Championship and Johnny charges back in! }Terri Morasco: Zasshu stole this match!
Vasco Dias: He did what needed to be done!
{ Zasshu and Laura meet on the ramp as she hands him the championship and he holds it high over his head. Gillmen makes the “this close” symbol with his hands as he points to the championship. }Terri Morasco: In a few weeks time Gillmen is going to get Zasshu one on one and there won’t be any BS games for the champion to play.
Vasco Dias: Gillmen had his chance tonight and he blew it.
{ Zasshu and Laura stand proud at the top of the ramp as Gillmen looks on. }----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”Soon.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ A cold chill runs up and down your spine as the temperature in the arena drops dramatically. Your breath is visible as you look down from the nose bleeds wondering why it is suddenly so cold when the lights go out. You can feel everyone tense up around you, the anticipation is growing, you know what is coming next but you still are not prepared for it as a single torch lights up in the center of the ring. }
”My children…”
{ Four more torches light up, each in the corner of the ring, the lone hooded figure holding the original torch as you look around in the darkness for something familiar, something safe but all you see are the confused masses around you. Reflections of yourself. }
”You stood with me in the Social Enemies…”
{ One by one torches light up in the crowd around you, one even lights up right next to you revealing the painted pale face of a hooded man. You’re shocked, scared, you want to run away but find yourself frozen in place. }
”Conquered with me in the Age of the Revolution…}
{ The arena is now ablaze with torches as several dozen are now lit around the arena. You shiver as the temperature seems to continue to drop, your teeth chatter as you draw your arms across your chest and try to stay warm. Along each side of the ramp more torches light up as a low tone starts to play through out the arena. You can’t quite recognize the song but it sounds familiar. }
”Joined me in Ragnarok and watched me usher in the Age of X…”
{ The lone figure in the ring puts out his torch as he reaches into his robe, you hold yourself tighter as you wonder what is going to happen. }
”Now allow me to save you…”
{ The figure in the rings pull a steel chair out from beneath their cloak. You shiver, not from the cold but from the fear of what is going to happen next. }
”As one of God’s Children.”
{ They grip the chair tight by the legs, hold it out before them and then start to drive it into their face over and over and over again. The people around you scream out in fear, you yourself have to cup your mouth before you scream as well, still afraid of the man next to you with the torch as the sound of steel against bone rings out through out the arena. Finally they stop, blood flowing from the wound on their head as the smile a sadistic and terrifying smile. }
”May god have mercy on your soul.”
{ At once all the torches go out and plunge you into darkness. You panic, unsure of what to do, reaching out blindly for anything and anyone. The dull tone in the background rises and you can almost tell what the song is when finally it all stops and the lights return to normal. The only sign that anything happened is a single drop of blood in the center of the ring… }

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 cheers of the crowd are deafening. She isn’t alone as her best friend Zelda Knite 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 slap the hands of the roaring crowd. The crowd cheers loudly in return as they glance back at the Hollywood hottie, and Zelda smiles as she throws up the heart symbol.}Terri Morasco: Looks like Crystal Millar is comin' out--no pun intended--to try and redeem herself as she gets ready to take on Fiona McFly in the opening salvos of the Heiress to the Throne series!
{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: Yeah, yeah...spraypainting a hapless chick in Domi Natrix--no matter how evil she might be--isn't exactly worthy of redemption...
{"I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys kicks into high gear as Fiona McFly marches out on stage, takes a bow, and heads down to the ring--giving lucky fans quick pecks on the cheek along the way.}Vasco Dias: Ya know, I can't believe I'm actually sayin' this...but I'm startin' to like Fiona.
Terri Morasco: No kidding?! Fiona has come a VERY long way since last year's Heiress to the Throne.
Vasco Dias: And she's got the 2016 Iron Maiden to prove it too!
[DING!]
{The referee calls for the bell as the two ladies shake hands, earning a cheer from the Birmingham faithful for the sporting gesture. Crystal and Fiona circle around the ring, trying to get a feel for each others tendencies as they lock up; Millar--the former NCw Starlet with more experience--backs the Belfast native into the corner, causing the man in stripes to call for the clean break. Millar does as she's told, backing away before locking up for the second time. The two continue jockeying for position until Fiona is able to back Crystal into the opposing corner, leading the zebra-dude to call for the break--to which the Belfast native does so cleanly before locking up for a third time. This time, however, Crystal is able to send Fiona for the ride; McFly bounds off the ropes and into an armdrag takedown, followed by a second and then a tilt-a-whirl variety to complete the troika. Millar immediately flips Fiona head over heels to the deck, courtesy of a heavily-modified springboard hurracarana that elicits a pop from the mostly fifty-fifty gallery. She then climbs up to the top buckle, swiftly connecting with a leaping headscissor takedown as Fiona pulls herself back to her feet--transitioning the maneuver into a pin.}1...!
2...!
KICKOUT!!!
{Crystal goes back on the offensive, taking her opponent back down with a side Russian leg sweep before climbing back up to her favorite perch on the top. She plays to the split crowd, earning a mish-mash of whistles and cheers from the deuling British fanbase before attempting a front 450 splash...only for McFly to duck out of the way, causing Millar to hit nothing but canvas!}Vasco Dias: Millar didn't do her homework that time...
Terri Morasco: ...and she crashed and burned as a result.
{Zelda Knite looks on, tempted to help her charge out but resisting the temptation to return to her old habits as Fiona McFly takes command of the match, sending Crystal for the ride; Millar bounces off the ropes and ducks underneath a clothesline, only to be met with a sliding Premiere League-style football tackle that earns a good pop from a group of Aston Villa supporters in attendance. To her credit, Crystal is able to kip back to her feet, only to be sent back to the mat thanks to a dropkick--and a second! Eventually, McFly is able to get her biggest advantage, flipping Millar head over heels via a snap suplex, a high vertical suplex, and a German suplex-pinning combintion from Fiona!}1...!
2...!!
NOPE!!!
{Fiona, with a sly grin on her face, continues marching on, firing away at her rival with a series of kicks and punches to the ribs and schozz that send Crystal reeling toward the ropes; Fiona shoots her in--and Crystal bounces off the opposite set of ropes and into a arcing spinebuster! Taking a moment, Fiona plays to the 50-50 audience in Birmingham by raising her arms into the air, letting out a battle cry before climbing up to the top buckle. But as McFly is about to attempt a crossbody, she is met head-on--courtesy of Millar's "Flashing Lights Chick Kick!"}Terri Morasco: Right in the kisser!
Vasco Dias: Did ya just say Crystal was gonna...kiss Fifi?!?
Terri Morasco: Don't start!
{The crowd pops as Crystal goes for the cover, hooking the leg...}1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEEE--NOOOO!!!!!
{Crystal shakes her head as the referee calmly holds up two fingers; Zelda looks on with a slight quizzical expression on her face as the match continues! Millar tries to go for her Withering Rose submission finisher to end the contest...but Fiona is able to recover, rolling up her opponent for a surprise small package!}1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEEEE--AWWWWWWW!!!!!
{As Zelda pumps her fist slightly, Fiona sighs to herself and shakes her head, wondering just what in the world was going on around her, but the two ladies eventually would wind up in a Mexican standoff to see who would make the one fatal maneuver that would cost them everything. Crystal takes charge, sending Fiona for the ride before plastering her head-first into the deck with a tornado DDT! Playing to the crowd, Millar can sense that this one's over and decides to go for her siganture maneuver!}Terri Morasco: Uh-oh!
Vasco Dias: Lights...Camera...
Crystal smiles as she rushes to the top of the turn buckle. She points to the ceiling. She makes a camera motion before she jumps as high as she can on the turnbuckles and does a 180 in the air spinning around. She jumps off the turnbuckles again and launches herself backwards towards opponent. She gets some great height and does a whole bunch of spinning in the air....before landing on opponents body with a well executed 630 Corkscrew Senton!!}Vasco Dias: ACTION!!!
Terri Morasco: And this could be "game over" for Fiona!
{Crystal goes for the pin...}1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!
[DING-DING-DING!!!]
{As "I'm Coming Out" plays again, Crystal immediately gets to her feet, and upon seeing a dejected Fiona, she pulls her up to her feet and gives her a warm hug, the fans cheering her for the act of good sporting behavior.}----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Alex Jones vs Ryan Shane
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
{Killswitch engage's "Hate by design" blasts over the PA as Alex Jones steps out onto the stage. His long two tone hair wet down his back and sides. He wears a black Alex Jones shirt and his wrestling gear.}
Alison Valance: Introducing first from Dallas, Texas, he weighs in at two hundred and twenty pounds...Alex Jones!!!
{He gets down to the ring and leaps onto the apron before wiping his feet off and getting into the ring, he throws his arms out to the side before slapping his chest}
Terri Morasco: Alex Jones returned last week at Sacrifice and picked up a nice win over Todd Williams.
Vasco Dias: He dominated him! Alex Jones hasn't lost a step. He is going to pick up right where he left off. Mark my words Terri, Alex Jones will be on top of the IWF very soon.
{"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. He has the Man of Steel championship around his waist. Pyro goes off as Shane makes his way to the ring as the fans erupt in cheers.}
Alison Valance: His opponent, from Allen Park, Michigan, he weighs two hundred and ten pounds, he is the IWF Man of Steel Champion...Ryan Shane!!!
{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 cheers of the crowd.}
Terri Morasco: Alex Jones might find his way back to the top Vasco, but tonight that road goes through Ryan Shane.
Vasco Dias: Sure I'll admit Shane has been impressive but Alex Jones in an IWF legend.
{The two competitors stare each other down in the ring as the wait for the bell to ring.}
DING DING DING
{The two men lock up in the center of the ring. Jones takes control with a side headlock and cinches it in. Shane fights him off and pushes him into the ropes. When Jones comes back Shane tries to hit a clothesline but Alex ducks it. He hits the opposite ropes and comes back and hits a clothesline of his own on Shane. With Shane down Jones lays into him with stiff martial arts kicks. With Shane trying to get to his feet Jones connects with a DDT and goes for a cover. 1...2...Shane kicks out.}
Terri Morasco: Alex Jones trying to end this one early.
Vasco Dias: He doesn't get paid by the hour Terri.
{Alex Jones looks at the referee with a smirk on his face. He then turns his attention back toward Ryan. He hits him with a hard right hand. AJ follows that up with knife edge chops that redden the chest of Shane. Alex whips Shane into the ropes and connects with a hiptoss followed by a jumping fist drop, a nip up and a stiff kick to Shane's back as he sits up.}
Terri Morasco: Alex Jones calls that the Xtreme Combo and he continues to dominate Shane.
Vasco Dias: Things are going as I expected.
{Jones goes for a cross armbar and locks it in. The pain on Shane's face says everything. The referee keeps checking on Shane but he refuses to give up. After a struggle Shane is finally able to get his leg under the rope. The referee tries to get Jones to break the hold, but Alex keeps it locked in until the count of four.}
Terri Morasco: Jones keeping that cross armbar locked in as long as he can get away with it.
Vasco Dias: That's what someone as savvy as Alex Jones does. He knows the rules and what he can get away with.
{Shane is on his knees holding his left arm. Jones approaches him and arrogantly starts slapping Shane around. He takes his eyes off of Shane for moment to scream something to the crowd. This gives Ryan a chance to go on the offensive. Shane delivers forearms to the midsection of Jones. The Man of Steel champion pops of to his feet and hits him with left hands, the last one sending Jones to the mat.}
Terri Morasco: Southpaw Shuffle!
Vasco Dias: Shane paying for that as he grabs as his arm again.
{Jones nips up but Shane connects with another hard left sending him to the mat once again as the crowd cheers. Jones gets to his feet and Shane hits a Russian leg sweep and then follows that with a leg drop across the chest of Alex. Shane then goes for a pin. 1...2...Jones kicks out.}
Terri Morasco: Ryan Shane close to picking up a victory of his own.
Vasco Dias: Close? Have you seen the resume of Alex Jones? If legends like him were that easy to beat then they wouldn't be legends.
{Ryan goes for A Crying Shane but Alex kicks at his arm. This ends of with Shane against the ropes. Jones is to his feet and he charges at Shane. Ryan ducks and lifts Jones over the ropes onto the apron. As Shane turns around Jones tries to hit him with a hard right hand but Shane blocks it. Ryan then leaps up and hits an enziguiri knocking Jones to the floor.}
Terri Morasco: That's the same move that eliminated Alex Jones from the Roulette match at High Stakes!
Vasco Dias: Yeah but that doesn't get the victory here tonight now does it?
Terri Morasco: It could, looks like Shane would be content with a count out victory.
{At the count of six Jones is able to get back on the apron. Shane takes a swing at him with a left hand but Jones grabs his arm and jumps off the apron which causes Shane's left arm to dropped across the top rope. Shane grabs his arm and Jones gets back on the apron. Alex Jones connects with a springboard dropkick to the arm of Shane and goes for another pin attempt. 1...2...3..Shane just gets his shoulder up.}
Terri Morasco: Jones can't believe it!
Vasco Dias: I think there might have been a slow count there.
{Alex Jones mounts Shane and delivers quick rights to his face and head. Jones gets to his feet and pulls Shane up. He goes for a vertical suplex but Shane escapes and lands behind him. Ryan grabs the legs of Alex and he falls face first to the mat. Shane then grabs his legs again looking for A Crying Shane once more. He locks it in, but Jones is able to get to the ropes.}
Terri Morasco: That time Shane was able to lock in A Crying Shane but Alex Jones was too close to the ropes.
Vasco Dias: The time away from the ring hasn't taken aware the ring awareness of the former Imperial champion.
{As both men get to their feet Jones drives a knee into Shane preventing a lockup. Alex then hits a leaping enziguiri. Shane crumples to the mat and Jones leaps on him and hooks a leg. 1...2...3..another close one but Shane just able to kick out.}
Terri Morasco: Now Alex Jones is getting into the face of the referee.
Vasco Dias: The referee is clearly slow counting Alex Jones here. This is becoming a handicapped match! An AJ-Guri should have put Shane down for good.
{Jones whips Shane into the ropes but it is reversed. Shane puts his head down but Jones kicks him in the chest. With Ryan forced into a standing position Jones uses his athletic ability to hit a hurricanrana. With Shane on the mat Jones climbs to the top and leaps off with a corkscrew senton.}
Terri Morasco: Spiral Tap misses! Shane rolls out of the way!
Vasco Dias: I'm pretty sure the referee let Shane know what was coming.
Terri Morasco: I'm sure that's what happened Vasco.
{Ryan Shane looks for a Someday Snap for Jones holds the ropes. Shane rolls backward and pops back to his feet. Alex Jones turns around and right into a powerslam. Shane goes to the middle rope and hits and elbow drop. Shane hooks a leg. 1...2...}
Terri Morasco: An Allen Park Elbow gets two.
Vasco Dias: This is getting too close.
{With both men to their feet once again they begin to exchange punches. Shane takes control but when he goes for a discus punch Jones ducks. Now behind Shane he locks him up and lifts him hitting a beautiful German suplex.}
Terri Morasco: Shane dropped right on his neck. Lets not forget he just got cleared to wrestle after missing Sacrifice last week.
Vasco Dias: That might be the move that finally puts him away and lets Alex Jones pick up the deserved victory.
{Alex Jones stands over Shane waiting for him to get to his feet. When he does Alex delivers a swift kick to the midsection which doubles Shane over. Jones hooks up of his arms but as he goes for the other Shane is able to lift him up and hit a back drop. From there Jones quickly gets to his feet and takes a swing at Ryan. He misses and Ryan hits a lung blower.}
Terri Morasco: Someday Snap!
{Alex Jones is on the mat grabbing at his back. Shane grabs a hold of his legs and locks him into his version of a cloverleaf.}
Terri Morasco: He has Alex Jones locked in A Crying Shane. The same move he used to keep the Man of Steel championship.
Vasco Dias: Zasshu didn't tap out and neither will Alex Jones.
{Inside of the ring Jones is doing everything he can to pull himself toward the ropes. He gets close put Shane is able to drag him back into the center of the ring. The referee checks on Jones and after a few moments he has no choice but to tap.}
DING DING DING
Alison Valance: The winner of the match by submission, The Man of Steel champion...Ryan Shane!!!
{Inside the ring Shane has his hand raised in victory as the crowd cheers him on.}
Well howdy there pardner.
