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.
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.}
Alison Valance: From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 115 pounds...CRYSTAL...MILLAR!
Terri Morasco: Last week in that tag match, Crystal was the one who pinned Sara Garcia to the mat.
Vasco Dias: It was a fluke Terri. You and Crystal both want to get over it now?
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: You see Sara being accompanied by the woman who last night retained her title.
Vasco Dias: That she did. Now watch Sara take care of Crystal tonight.
{The bell rings and the two women lock up in the center of the ring, each jockeying for position before Sara goes to slam Crystal into the corner, but Crystal reverses it at the last second, pushing Sara into the corner before being separated by the referee. Crystal though, reaches over the referee and slaps Sara across the face. The referee backs her off and Crystal rubs it in, talking trash as she’s pushed away. Sara rubs her cheek slowly while glaring at Crystal, figuratively burning a hole in her opponent. The referee looks at both competitors and signals for them to go again. The two lock up again, and this time it’s Sara getting the better of Crystal, going behind her before grabbing her by the arm and spinning her around, only to SLAP her right back, the smack heard throughout the arena.}
Vasco Dias: Turnabout is fair play, no?
Terri Morasco: I guess. That one echoed.
{Crystal whips her head back around and lets out a primal scream, charging Sara and pushing her toward the corner, but at the last second, Sara gets out of the way, sending Crystal shoulder-first into the turnbuckle!}
Vasco Dias: And there’s the mistake.
Terri Morasco: Crystal hits the post hard with her shoulder!
{Sara pulls Crystal out of the corner by her legs, letting her fall flat on her face. Crystal holds her face as she rolls over onto her back. Sara grabs hold of her legs and steps through, looking for a submission hold, but Crystal escapes, grabbing hold of the bottom rope. Sara lets go and turns, staring at Crystal, holding her finger and thumb close together, letting her know just how close that all came to possibly being over. Crystal pulls herself up and the two women step forward, locking up a third time, and this one goes to Sara as well, using her weight advantage to push Crystal into the corner before pulling her out with a Headlock, going for a Bulldog, but Crystal grabs onto the rope, sending Sara through the air, landing hard in a seated position. Crystal then runs up behind and kicks Sara right in the spine!}
Terri Morasco: What a shot!
Vasco Dias: That sent chills up my spine.
{Crystal pulls Sara to her feet, still with a grip on the head, snapping her over into a Snap Suplex in the center of the ring. She then runs to the ropes, jumps up on the middle rope and Springboards back into a Moonsault landing RIGHT ON THE KNEES OF SARA who blocks the maneuver. Crystal holds her midsection as she stumbles away. She heads back toward Sara who pulls her in, lifting her in the air, and dropping her on her head with a PILEDRIVER!!!}
Vasco Dias: She just dropped her right on the top of her head.
Terri Morasco: And now the cover.
{Sara hooks the leg…
1!
2!!
NO! Crystal gets the shoulder up in the knick of time. Sara smacks the mat in frustration.}
Terri Morasco: Sara isn’t able to put away Crystal here, and it seems to be getting to her.
{Sara pulls Crystal to her feet and hooks both arms, looking for a Double Underhook Backbreaker, but Crystal is able to reverse it with a Back Body Drop! Crystal looks behind her and springs off the ropes again, looking for the “That’s a Wrap” (Asai DDT into a Backstabber), but Sara grabs hold of the ropes as Crystal slams down to the mat, the back of her head hitting hard.}
Vasco Dias: Well scouted.
Terri Morasco: Crystal’s head hit hard.
{Sara turns and lifts Crystal to her feet and onto her shoulders, looking for the “All About Me” but Crystal squirms out of the hold, falling behind Sara, swinging her leg in the air, hitting Sara in the back of the head with the “Flashing Lights” (Chick Kick)! Sara crumbles in the center of the ring. Crystal heads to the top rope, and just like one week prior, lunges off...landing flush on Sara with the “Lights, Camera, Action”! Crystal hooks the leg…
1!
2!!
3!!!
The bell rings.}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner...CRYSTAAAAL MILLAR!!!
Terri Morasco: Another huge win for Crystal!
Vasco Dias: I can’t believe that just happened...again.
Terri Morasco: Things are looking up for Crystal, and the momentum is on her side.
{The referee raises Crystal’s hand and she turns to Sara and rips her hand from the referee, kicking Sara out of the ring, yelling at her: “THIS IS MY RING!” She turns and raises her hands in the air as the scene fades out.}
----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT "I Want A Fight"
----------------------------------------------------------
{ As the scene opens you can hear the sounds of flesh hitting a heavy bag. As the camera circle around the almost empty gym. Even though he hasn't had a match in a few weeks, Kyle is in the gym getting ready. In his mind no matter how long they keep him on the side...violence will eventually find him. }
We could of kept this very simple, Bob. We could of been civil about the whole matter and let things be. It wasn't a difficult request that I made. I wanted a fight, plain and simple. I wanted to step into that ring and witness violence.
You could of simply said no, because your issue was personal.
I would of understood that, Bob.
{ As Mason thinks about Bob's words the intent behind each strike results in a little more power. }
But that was too easy...you saw a chance to get a one up on the man you couldn't beat in the ring. You allowed your ego to make you show disrespect to a man that has put you down once before.
Heh, I get it though. Its been a long time since I was last in a IWF ring. You felt that my time away would allow the fans to forget about how I used to beat you. This was your chance to get that one up that you couldn't get inside that ring.
A foolish prideful man not knowing when it is best to stay quiet.
But I will help you with that, Bob. I will beat that spitefulness back out of you.
{ Mason starts to visualize Pooler's face. The way it will look during his beating. }
Now its simple because there isn't peace of happiness for you unless my sight is filled with violence and your humbleness.
{ Kyle steps back and fires off a heel kick that nearly takes the bag off it's chain. }
Let's see if you can actually back up the disrespect that you have shown me.
{ Mason pauses and and stares at the swinging bag, seeing Bob's words flash before his eyes with each swing of the bag. His face showing nothing but anger as the scene fades to black. }
IWF MAN OF STEEL CHAMPIONSHIP MAN OF STEEL MATCH James Franklin Karn vs Steel O'Buffington (Addisyn Starr) (c) [/span][/div] { 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 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.}
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled to take place under man of steel rules and is for the MAN OF STEEL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! To my left, he is the opponent… JAMES! FRANKLIN! KARN!!! And to my right he… She is the Champion… Represented by Steel O’Buffington… ADDISYN STARR!!!!
{ JFK doesn’t look amused as Starr exits the cage and already start barking orders at her designated hitter. }
Vasco Dias: Starr has easily been the most dominate woman of steel we have ever seen!
Terri Morasco: This is her first defense…
Vasco Dias: Exactly why it’s so impressive.
Terri Morasco: JFK doesn’t look impressed.
{ JFK just shakes his head at the bigger man as the referee calls for the bell. JFK rushes across the ring as Steel goes for a big clothes line but JFK gets under it, bounces off the ropes and comes back with a big time drop kick on Steel that sends him staggering backward! }
Terri Morasco: JFK out of his corner with authority!!!
Vasco Dias: That’s just one move!!!
{ JFK is right up as Steel hasn’t gone down and runs in with a leaping knee to the face of Steel. JFK starts to fire off hard right elbow shots to the side of Steel’s head. JFK moves to the side for the hip toss but Steel blocks it and turns around with a massive clothes line on JFK! }
Vasco Dias: That’s what I’m talking about!
Terri Morasco: There is no arguing with the power of Steel!
Vasco Dias: Or Starr for that matter!
{ JFK struggles to get up as Steel grabs him by the tights and throws him hard face first into the cage wall! JFK staggers out between the ropes and Steel rips him high up off his feet for a huge full nelson slam! Starr yells for the referee to count but JFK is up to his feet by four and smiles as he tells Steel to bring it! }
Terri Morasco: JFK isn’t backing down!
Vasco Dias: Then he’s an idiot! Starr is a beast!
{ Steel rushes in looking for a knee lift but JFK dodges him and Steel crashes into the turn buckles and JFK is right behind him with a swinging reverse neckbreaker and brings the big man off his feet! JFK pops right back up and starts to look rejuvenated as Steel gets to his. Karn runs in with a European upper cut that he follows up with a step up enzugiri!!! }
Vasco Dias: Starr isn’t going down!!!
Terri Morasco: You mean Steel?
Vasco Dias: Same damn thing!
{ Steel staggers but still stands as JFK runs to the ropes and comes back looking for a big shoulder tackle but Steel hits one of his own too and sends JFK hard onto his back. Steel lets out a roar as Starr screams at him to finish the job. Steel grabs JFK and rips him up to his feet and then over his head in a stalling vertical suplex position but JFK starts driving knees into the head of Steel. Steel finally drops JFK back to his feet and Karn fires off alternating calf kicks and side kicks! }
Terri Morasco: Look at Karn go!!!
Vasco Dias: He still hasn’t knocked the big man off his feet!
{ Steel lets loose a roar and swings big but Karn ducks him and fires off the KARN KICK!!! Steel staggers and stumbles and JFK runs in with the FINAL NAIL!!!! }
Terri Morasco: STEEL IS DOWN!!!
{ JFK isn’t done as he pulls Steel back up to his feet and twists him around for GOODNIGHT SALLY!!!! }
Terri Morasco: GOODNIGHT SALLY!!!!
Vasco Dias: NO!!!!
{ Starr screams from the outside as Steel eventually fades out and the referee calls for the bell as Steel is unable to continue!!! }
Alison Valance: Your winner and NEW IWF MAN OF STEEL CHAMPION!!!! JAMES! FRANKLIN!!!KARN!!!!!!!!
{ JFK is right up demanding the referee raise his hand and give him his championship as his music plays! }
Terri Morasco: HE DID IT! After two long months JFK has finally earned himself the Man of Steel Championship!!!!
Vasco Dias: Starr never tapped out!
Terri Morasco: No, Steel passed out!
Vasco Dias: I don’t care, Starr didn’t tap, he wasn’t knocked out. I smell a rematch.
{ Starr is freaking out as JFK stands proud in the center of the ring with the man of steel championship high over his head. }
EMPTY ARENA MATCH Filmed between the IWF Special and IWF Legacy IV Rob Diamond vs Steve Awesome
{ A large black limousine pulls up in front of the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. }
Vasco Dias: Here we go, outside of the Imperial Championship match tonight this is easily the biggest match on the card. The honorable and respectable, Rob Diamond looking for revenge against the audacious and atrocious, Steve Awesome!
Terri Morasco: Are you kidding me, Vasco? Rob Diamond tried to end Steve Awesome’s career at Night of the Immortals!
Vasco Dias: Only after Steve Awesome robbed Rob of numerous championship opportunities!
Terri Morasco: Are you completely ignoring that Rob made his own deal with Verona??
Vasco Dias: Absolutely.
Terri Morasco: Jesus…
{ The back right door to the limo opens and Steve Awesome steps out of the car in a black t-shirt and jeans, he removes his sun glasses and tosses them into the limo as a referee slides out behind him. }
Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome has arrived at the XL Center!
Vasco Dias: From what my sources have told me Rob Diamond is already in the arena.
Terri Morasco: Then Steve needs to watch his back right from the word go.
{ Steve pulls open the first set of glass doors and then the second as he steps into what is the upper lobby of the XL Center, he looks around as the referee stands by his side, Rob is nowhere to be seen. }
Terri Morasco: Steve is being cautious here which is probably a smart move.
{ He looks across the lobby to the one open ticket window and makes his way over to it. Steve slows down a few feet from the ticket window expecting something to be hurled out at him but instead he’s shocked to see the painted and smiling face of MR HAPPY!!! }
Vasco Dias: What the hell is he doing there???
Terri Morasco: It looks like he’s working the ticket window!
{ Mr Happy extends his hand with a ticket toward Steve. }
Mr Happy: One ticket to HELL!!!!!!!!
{ He begins laughing hysterically as Steve just shakes his head and walks over toward the escalator that descends into the main hall way of the XL Center. Steve reaches the bottom, all the doors are open leading to the seating sections and in the center he can see an IWF ring set up. }
Vasco Dias: This is getting eerie.
Terri Morasco: Where the hell is Rob?
Vasco Dias: Laying in wait like a venomous snake!
Terri Morasco: Steve needs to be careful here.
{ Awesome slowly makes his way toward the nearest set of double doors, stopping just short as he takes a deep breath before heading into section 124 where a steel chair immediately swings out and cracks Steve in the back and sends him stumbling down the concrete steps. }
Vasco Dias: Rob Diamond with the first move of the match!
Terri Morasco: The snake!
{ Rob charges Steve as he tries to pull himself up on the railing but Rob is right there to ram the point of the chair into the side of the chest of Steve Awesome who goes down hard and starts rolling down the steps again until he can stop himself on a railing. Rob charges down the steps at him and raises the chair but Steve pushes off with a shoulder block into Rob Diamond and then immediately back body drops him awkwardly and Rob lands hard on the folding plastic chairs behind them. }
Vasco Dias: What a nasty fall!
Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome is no stranger to fighting dirty!
Vasco Dias: Yeah, that’s something he’s proved time and again!
{ Rob is in obvious pain as he tries to pull himself back to his feet but Steve is right there and charges into Rob with a lunging clothes line and both men go toppling over to the next row of seats as Steve mounts Rob and begins to pummel him with rights and lefts. }
Terri Morasco: This is just a brawl!
Vasco Dias: Exactly what it should be! Neither man wants a match! They want a war!
Terri Morasco: Well that’s what they’re getting!
{ Steve pushes himself off of Rob and grabs him by the head and throws him hard toward the steps in section 101, Rob manages to stop himself on the steel railing but Steve is right there with a clothes line to the back of Rob’s head! Rob spills over the railing onto the steps and Steve jumps over and begins to stomp Rob hard as he lays on the concrete steps. }
Vasco Dias: Awesome needs to be stopped! He’s going to hurt the real face of IWF!
Terri Morasco: Rob agreed to this match! He knew what he was getting into!
{ Steve pulls Rob up to his feet and connects with a massive European upper cut and Rob goes rolling backward head over heels until slamming hard into the barrier separating the middle deck from the main floor of the arena. Steve glares at Rob and charges down the steps at him as he tries to pull himself up on the barrier but Rob catches Steve and uses his momentum against him to his a spine buster right onto of the barrier wall, Steve yells out in pain as Rob charges him and hits him with a massive SPEAR! That sends both men crashing through the short door that keeps people from middle deck heading down to the main floor! Both men roll over each other as they tumble down the steel steps on the other side of the door before coming to rest on the concrete main floor of the arena. }
Vasco Dias: What a nasty spear from Rob Diamond!
Terri Morasco: I don’t think either of them got the better of that move.
Vasco Dias: It definitely took a lot out of both of them.
{ The ring sits maybe 30 or 40 yards from where they landed, there are no seats set up or barriers, just a ring sitting in the center of the arena. }
Terri Morasco: We knew this was going to be bad but I don’t think anyone was prepared for this level of brutality.
{ Rob pushes himself up to his feet and reaches for Steve, he pulls Steve up and throws him hard in the direction of the ring. Awesome stumbles and drops to his knee and Rob comes roaring up behind but Steve turns and fires off the JAW BREAKER SUPERKICK!!! Rob staggers and Steve grabs him for a high angle scoop slam right onto the concrete floor! Steve looks back to the ring and starts to head toward it, throwing up the apron skirt when he gets there and digging under the ring. }
Terri Morasco: Steve looking for some weapons!
Vasco Dias: Of course he is, the rotten bastard that he is! ‘ Terri Morasco: Rob started this match by attacking him with a chair!
Vasco Dias: Name of the game, Terri.
{ Steve pulls a kendo stick out from under the ring and brandishes it like a lightsaber, twirling it in his hand as Rob starts to get up. Rob staggers forward and Steve runs at him and cracks the stick right across his stomach, Rob bends over in pain and Steve damn near breaks the kendo stick over his back as he starts to hit him over and over again rapid fire. Finally the kendo stick doubles over and Steve throws it to the side. He grabs Rob by the head and runs him hard toward the ring and throws him right into the steel ring post! }
Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome isn’t playing games tonight!
Vasco Dias: The man is sick and disgusting and I can’t wait for Rob to end his career!
Terri Morasco: You’re as crazy as he is!
{ Steve lines up his shot as Rob turns around with his back against the post. Steve fires off another Jaw Breaker super kick but Rob moves and Steve kicks the post, damaging his foot. Rob dips in behind him with a Back Fist Full of Democracy to the back of Steve’s head and then under hooks him for a hip toss right into the side of the ring apron! }
Terri Morasco: Rob throwing Steve back first into the hardest part of the apron!
Vasco Dias: That’s what I want to see.
{ Steve lays on the ground and Rob leans over him bracing himself on the ring before he starts to stomp Steve viciously as he lays on the concrete floor. Rob nearly loses it as he stomps Steve over and over again before pushing himself away screaming and then looking under the ring. Rob pulls out a table and starts to set it up perpendicular to the ring apron. }
Terri Morasco: Rob has bad intentions here.
Vasco Dias: Time to put Steve Awesome out of his misery!
{ Rob pulls Steve up and then pushes him onto the apron, Rob climbs up there with him and pulls Steve up into pile driver position but Steve throws him backwards with a back body drop right through the table on the concrete floor!!! }
Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD!!!!!
Vasco Dias: NOOOO!!!!
{ Steve slumps on the ropes and then leaps off into the rubble and crashes down on Rob with an elbow drop. He just lays there as the referee drops down for the pin fall. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }
Terri Morasco: Rob kicked out!?
Vasco Dias: Of course he did!! Are you kidding me!?
Terri Morasco: I am in shock right now.
{ Steve can’t quite believe it as he pushes himself up to his feet, Rob starts to move to as he rolls off what is left of the table. Steve bends down and grabs him, he pulls Rob up to his feet and twists around and connects with another back fist that rocks Steve’s jaw. Awesome stumbles backward and Rob grabs him for a release overhead belly to belly suplex right on the concrete floor! }
Terri Morasco: Rob with a nasty suplex there!
Vasco Dias: Steve did not land well!
{ Rob starts to move away from the ring toward where the ramp would normally be located, he reaches the entranceway that leads to the backstage area and stops when he notices a metal pipe that has been left behind, he picks it up with a grin as Steve starts to get to his feet and chases after Rob. Steve is slow and Rob is waiting for him, bracing himself against the wall, Steve reaches out for him and Rob whips around and cracks Steve right in the ribs with the metal pipe! }
Vasco Dias: YES!
{ He hits him again and again in the ribs and stomach, Steve drops down to a knee and Rob hits him with a devastating DDT right on the concrete floor! He rolls Steve over and covers him, yelling for the referee to come make the count. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!!! }
Vasco Dias: NO FREAKING WAY!!!!
Terri Morasco: Steve somehow got his shoulder up!!!!
Vasco Dias: I don’t believe it!!!!
{ Rob sneers as he pushes himself back up to his feet and rips Steve up by his hair, he tucks his head between his legs and looks for the Diamond Driver but Steve blocks it and instead drops down and hits Rob with a low blow!!! }
Vasco Dias: OOOOHHHH!!!!
{ Steve shoots up with a leaping knee right to the bridge of Rob’s nose which immediately starts to bleed and grabs him for the EJECTED!!!! Rob lands hard on the concrete floor and Steve quickly jumps onto him to make a cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!!!! }
Terri Morasco: Rob got his shoulder up!!!
Vasco Dias: You’re damn right he did, he’s the greatest of all time!
Terri Morasco: The greatest is bleeding like a stuffed pig right now!
{ Steve pushes himself back up and grabs for Rob who fires off a throat jab!!! Steve falls backward against the far wall of the entranceway to the backstage area. Rob pushes himself to his feet and begins to limp away from Steve, cupping his nose and heading into the backstage area. Steve gives chase to Rob and he’s moving quite a bit better than Rob is at the moment. Steve comes up behind Rob and clubs him over the back, Rob falls forward and Steve goes to grabs him but Rob grabs Steve by the waist and throws his weight and sends Steve face first into the brick wall of the hall way! }
Vasco Dias: Rob creating some separation!
{ Rob moves for Steve but Awesome turns around and connects with his second Jaw Breaker of the match!!! Rob doesn’t go down, instead he comes right at Steve and spears him into the brick wall!!!! Both men are down now as the referee just looks on perplexed. }
Terri Morasco: Steve with a second super kick and Rob with a second spear! Now both men are down!
Vasco Dias: They are kicking the crap out of each other!
Terri Morasco: These two former best friends are doing everything in their power to hurt one another!

SEGMENT "Preparations"
----------------------------------------------------------
{We cut backstage and see Roberto Verona straightening his scarlet silk tie whilst stood in front a mirror in his office. Hannah Reed stands behind him.}
Hannah Reed: Are you sure about this?
Roberto Verona: He asked for this...
{Roberto considers his own reflection in the mirror for a moment, before slipping into his suit jacket and preparing to get down to business.}
~~~ {We cut to The Ace and his wife Kathy in their locker-room. The Ace is sat wrapping white tape around his wrists as Kathy looks on, clearly worried.}
Kathy Conway: Be careful...
{The Ace nods, his words barely a whisper.}
The Ace: I love you...
{The Ace leans over and kisses his wife on the cheek before standing up and grabbing his steel roulette rake which was propped up against the edge of the bench.
NATURAL SELECTION MATCH If The Ace wins, he receives a guaranteed future Imperial Championship opportunity. The Ace vs Roberto Verona
{We cut to a video package highlighting the recent history of the two friends turned fierce competitors.
~Footage from Roberto's early days in NCW is played over The Ace declaring "I was there when you broke into NCW, I saw you come in, shackled with the same suffocating sense of idealism that now holds back the careers of men like Andrew Jacoben, Nighthawk and Jack Gaither."
Clips of The Ace and Roberto Verona dominating their competition as the NCW National Champion and NCW World Champion respectively play over Roberto's words: "You forced me to learn to adapt or perish, but you also taught me something far more valuable - the importance of being selfish."
A slow motion shot with brass knuckles to the side of Ace's head ensures that Roberto Verona retains his Imperial Championship at Night of the Immortals.
"I saw a man realise he was on the edge of losing not only his Championship but also the one thing that defines everything he is and ever will be - control..."
A shot of Simon De Montford staring at Roberto Verona: "Effective immediately, as a result of bringing this company into disrepute, Roberto Verona is to be stripped of the Imperial Championship....allow me to introduce the woman responsible for ridding IWF of its incendiary Champion..."
"Black and Silver" by Xandria plays over a clip of a smiling Kathy Conway: "Everybody knows that on that night in Chicago, Roberto's historic 217 reign, the longest in this company's history ended, and more importantly, everybody knows that the man responsible for it all is MY MAN, MY CHAMPION, MY HUSBAND JAKE 'THE ACE' CONWAY!"
The Ace nails Roberto with an Ace-Plant at High Stakes and a FameAcer at Night of the Immortals whilst Roberto declares: "This isn't the end of Roberto Verona, it is only the beginning, whether you like it or not."
Roberto and The Ace each other with simultaneous superkicks, and Roberto just so happens to collapse on top of The Ace at Metamorphosis, whilst Roberto declares: "I do not peddle myths, I profess inevitabilities. I AM professional wrestling."
The two men stand face to face, eyes locked on one another in an intense stare-down as The Ace proclaims: "I will remind you of just how human you still are, Roberto. I will remind you of just how liable to fall you still are, Verona."~
{We cut back to the arena from the video package, panning around the arena, catching a few crowd signs along the way such as:
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
THE APEX OF EVOLUTION
WHERE'S JESSICA REED?
I CAME TO SEE VERONA GET HIS ASS KICKED!
#20YEARS
#INFAMOUS
I WANNA BE STARRSTRUCK!
K.I.W.A.
JFK:REAL MAN OF STEEL
WARREN & JAYSON: BANANA SPLIT?
LONG LIVE CHRIS KING!
I CAME FOR STEVE AWESOME...AT LEAST TWICE!
I'M WAITING FOR ETERNITY
PROUD MEMBER OF THE GARCIA BRAND
THE HOUSE OF HOWLETT ALWAYS WINS!
The camera finally settles on the beautiful Alison Valance as she raises her microphone to her lips.}
Alison Valance: The following contest is the Natural Selection Match, now the only way to win this match is to incapacitate your opponent so that he cannot answer the referee's 21 count...If The Ace wins, he will be granted a future Imperial Championship opportunity, however if Roberto Verona wins, The Ace will be forced to issue a public apology to Roberto Verona and the IWF fans for all of his professional misconduct since Night of the Immortals...
{The crowd immediately boo the latter half of the stipulation as soon as it is announced.}
Terri Morasco: Professional misconduct? Give me a break, the only thing Jake Conway should be apologising for is making us all wait this long for Roberto Verona to finally get what's coming to him.
Vasco Dias: Oh please, Jake Conway is just a sore loser, and more than that he's never beaten Roberto Verona in any way that really matters, that won't change tonight...
{The lights in the arena dim with the opening chords and then start to flash red, green, yellow and purple in rotation as the guitar riff kicks in, joined by the drums.The titantron shows the silhouette of a woman with her hair blowing across her face and holding a playing card between the forefingers of her right hand, she flips it over in her fingers to reveal the Ace Of Spades, the symbol grows out of the card and gets larger with every repetition of the guitar riff until it envelops the screen. Huge flame pyros explode either side of the ramp as cards begin to fall from the rafters. The circular platform on which The Ace is stood with his back towards us and the Union Jack draped across his shoulders, starts to turn.
The platform is decorated to look like a roulette wheel. Slowly it spins a full one-eighty degrees as we now see The Ace, with his steel roulette rake in his right hand take a swig from the water bottle in his left hand and spit the water in the air. After the lyrics to "Brotherhood of Man" by Motorhead kick in, he steps off the platform, throwing the bottle to one side.
Now your time has come A storm of iron in the sky War and murder come again Lucky if you die
The Ace walks down through the shower of falling cards, his face a portrait of dogged determination.}
Alison Valance: Introducing first, now residing in Las Vegas Nevada, weighing 260 pounds...he is The Apex of Evolution...TTTHHHEEE AAACCCEEE!
{For the first time in quite a while, the crowd react entirely positive as Alison announces The Ace.
No way to rescue destiny Scream and curse in vain You will never be remembered No one knows your name
When the music changes Then all is broken down Mighty cities laid to ruin Burn in to the ground
The Ace gets to the foot of the ramp and the cards stop falling.
The Ace enters the ring, climbing the steel steps and getting the official to part the ropes for him as he steps through them. He walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing the second rope.
The Ace raises both arms and his signature weapon in the air.
Murder has become the law You cannot make a stand Chaos rules the world now, mortal Brotherhood of Man
The Ace climbs down and hands the flag over to a stagehand before he walks to the middle of the ring, and the song fades...}
Terri Morasco: Well The Ace is not out here with his wife by his side for this match...
Vasco Dias: Rumour has it that Kathy is not entirely happy that this match is even happening...
Terri Morasco: And why should she be? Her husband is putting his body on the line in one of the most brutal matches ever devised here tonight...
Vasco Dias: I think she's regretting pushing her husband into signing his own death warrant...if Kathy hadn't gone to the board of directors like a little bitch, none of this wouldn't be happening...
{ 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. }
Alison Valance: And his opponent, hailing from Chicago, Illinois, weighing 220 pounds, the longest reigning Imperial Champion in IWF history and the Chief Operating Officer of the Imperial Wrestling Federation...RRROBERRRTTTOOO VERRROOONA!
{ 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: Here he is, the rightful, longest reigning and undefeated Imperial Champion...
Terri Morasco: The man who made a mockery of the biggest main event of all time three months ago at Night of the Immortals and denied a deserving competitor out of the richest prize in the game before being rightfully stripped of it himself...
Vasco Dias: Rightfully stripped? I don't know what you're talking about Terri, this is Day 309 of the single greatest reign in all of professional wrestling...
{The bell rings and The Ace and Roberto Verona get nose to nose, neither man flinching in the face of the other, inciting the crowd to rally completely behind Jake Conway, chanting "Let's Go Ace!". Roberto glances down briefly at the steel roulette rake in his friend's hand, still retracted for the moment. Roberto locks eyes with The Ace again, and offers a half smirk at The Ace's reluctance, or perhaps unwillingness to strike first.}
Terri Morasco: These two men have known each other for over half a decade, and during that time they've become closer than a lot of brothers, they know each other so well...
Vasco Dias: You say that Terri, but as a competitor Roberto Verona has always gotten the better of Jake Conway, and it is that undeniable fact that has driven the more competitive edge to this rivalry for the last eight months...
Terri Morasco: And now it all comes down to this, no count outs, no disqualifications, absolutely anything goes in this contest where the only objective is to ensure that your opponent cannot answer the referee's 21 count.
{Verona backs away first, as the crowd let their disapproval be heard. He then slowly starts to remove his suit jacket, handing it off to the official who stands outside the ring so as to do his job from a safe distance from the competitors.
The two men lock eyes, as The Ace starts to fully extend his steel rake. Roberto holds up a hand, and starts to loosen the knot on his tie. Slowly he removes it and hands it to off to the official too. The impatient crowd booing Roberto's stalling tactics.}
Terri Morasco: Oh come on...this is ridiculous!
Vasco Dias: Surely you don't expect our COO to wrestle in one of his suits, do you Terri? Do you have any idea how much they cost? They are exclusively tailored and imported from Italy you know...
{Verona then undoes the top three buttons of his pristine pressed white shirt and cuffs, before rolling up his sleeves to reveal his black elbow pads underneath. The two men start to circle one another, maintaining eye contact the entire time.
Roberto reaches into his right trouser pocket, a move The Ace watches carefully, anticipating a foreign object, perhaps some brass knuckles, but instead it is just a pair of black finger-less gloves. Verona starts to put them on, slowly. The Ace twirls the rake in his hand.}
Terri Morasco: Honestly, can Verona drag this out anymore?
Vasco Dias: He's not dragging anything out Terri, a match like this takes incredible preparation.
{With his gloves securely fashioned, Roberto now starts to adjust his elbow pads, the right one first.
Now The Ace has had enough, and starts to approach Verona, and before Roberto can adjust his left elbow pad, The Ace strikes him in the gut with the rake, causing the IWF COO to double over as the crowd cheer the fact that the match is finally under way.
The Ace then follows up with a stiff rake shot to Verona's back causing him to fall face first into the canvas. The Ace delivers three more shots to Verona's back whilst he is on the ground, before backing up and instructing on the referee to begin his count.
1...2...3...4...5...6....7....
Roberto makes it to his hands and knees, coughing.
8...9...10...}
Terri Morasco: If this was a normal match it would already be over as Roberto still hasn't made it to his feet...
Vasco Dias: But it isn't Terri, this is Natural Selection and Roberto has a 21 cont to work with.
{The Ace advances towards the former Imperial Champion, who is still on his hands and knees. The Ace raises the rake high above his head, looking to strike Verona with it once more, but the devious Roberto manages to exploit the lack of rules by hitting a desperation low blow, uppercutting The Ace right between his legs. The crowd erupt into boos.}
Terri Morasco: What a blatantly dirty move!
Vasco Dias: There are no disqualifications here Terri, meaning its all perfectly legal, and if there's one move guaranteed to keep a man down for the count, that would be it!
{The Ace falls to his knees, forced to drop his signature rake as he cries out in pain. Roberto finally finds his feet and immediately kicks the rake out of The Ace's reach. Verona then backs up and rebounds off the ropes, striking The Ace full force in the face with his knee. The move knocks the Ace flat onto his back for the first time in the match, and Roberto immediately seizes his advantage, dropping to his knees beside the fallen Ace and striking him repeatedly in the face with several stiff shots, but that isn't enough for Roberto as he jumps to his feet and lays the boots into The Ace's side a few times before he grabs The Ace's legs and looks to lock in his signature "Inquisition" sharpshooter submission hold.}
Vasco Dias: We rarely see Roberto employ any kind of technical hold...
Terri Morasco: Well, these are two of the fiercest rivals in the Imperial Wrestling Federation, I really wouldn't be surprised at all if this is a case of Roberto trying to tell Ace that anything he can do, Verona can do better. Jake Conway has after all always prided himself as a master technician inside that ring...
Vasco Dias: Well, I have to admit as unorthodox as it might seem for this kind of match, it is still a sound strategy. The Ace won't be able to make it back to his feet if Roberto Verona leaves him twisted up like a human pretzel.
{Roberto knows he has an advantage as The Ace is screaming out in pain with nowhere to go even if he wanted to. Verona keeps applying the pressure, until he feels The Ace stop trying to resist and find a way out of the hold. When it appears that The Ace has given up all resistance, Verona quickly releases the hold, leaving the ring to instruct the referee to do his "damn job".
The referee begins his count.
....1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...
Roberto starts to converse with Alison Valance and the timekeeper at ringside about how he wants his win documented and "properly acknowledged"...}
Terri Morasco: Hey Roberto, how about you don't count Jake out just yet?
Vasco Dias: That's Mr Verona to you Terri, and he can do anything he likes because he's the boss around here, in case you've forgotten...
Terri Morasco: How could I forget? Roberto's never been shy about reminding anybody exactly who he is.
{...11...12...13...14...The Ace starts to stir in the ring and crawl towards the ropes, and the crowd erupt, willing him back to his feet. The noise of the crowd catches Roberto's attention, and when he turns around he sees The Ace using the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet inside the ring.
The Ace makes it back to his feet clutching his lower back as Roberto starts to dismantle the Spanish announce table at ringside. After removing the monitors and the top of the table, Roberto starts making his way back to the ring, but stops just short as he notices that The Ace has retrieved his steel rake once more and waits for Roberto to make his move.
Roberto lifts the ring apron and quickly grabs a black steel folding chair from under the ring. The Ace tries to take a huge swing with his rake from inside the ring, but Roberto uses the folded chair to block the blow just in time. Steel meets steel and The Ace backs away, choosing instead to wait for Roberto to enter the ring.
Roberto walks around to the side that The Ace is the furthest away from before he slides in with the chair. As the two meet in the middle of the ring, Roberto side steps another rake swing from his rival and clocks The Ace in the face with the business end of his steel chair.}
Terri Morasco: What a sickening thud!
Vasco Dias: What a shot, Roberto connected flush and it could be all over here...
{The Ace collapses to the canvas as Roberto smirks. The crowd boo and Roberto thrusts the dented chair up in the air in triumph, causing more boos as the referee begins the count...1...2...3...4...5...6...7....8...9....The Ace starts to stir, much to Roberto's disbelief...10...11...12...13...14....15...
Roberto yells at The Ace to stay down, as The Ace shakes his head, half in defiance and half in an effort to clear the cobwebs as he sits up on the mat.}
Vasco Dias: Listen to your boss, just stay down Ace!
Terri Morasco: Ace has been busted open thanks to that chair shot, but he still won't stay down!
Vasco Dias: Because he's an idiot!
{The Ace stumbles back up to his feet and motions directly to Roberto to bring it, and as Roberto is about to oblige, raising the chair and readying his next shot, The Ace quickly side steps and fires off a quick superkick which sends the steel chair bouncing back into Roberto's face!
The crowd erupt as both men crumble to the canvas, Roberto because of the chair shot, and The Ace out of fatigue.
The referee starts counting both men down.
...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...}
Terri Morasco: Now both men are down!
Vasco Dias: Come on Roberto, you're better than this!
{The camera zooms in to show that now Roberto Verona too has been busted open and blood is beginning to trickle from his forehead.
9...10...11...12...13...14...15...
The Ace finds his feet first whilst Roberto is struggling to find his...
16...17...
Roberto eventually does and meets The Ace in the middle of the ring, where The Ace delivers a stiff chop to Roberto's chest which is met with a cheer from the crowd.
Roberto answers with a fist, which is met with a boo. The Ace delivers another chop, and Roberto another right hand. The Ace then delivers five chops in quick succession, not allowing Roberto to retaliate but driving him back towards the ropes with each one, much to the crowd's delight.
With Roberto's back up against the ropes, The Ace backs up just enough to ready a clothesline to the outside, but Roberto seems to have it well scouted and instead pulls the ring ropes down and allows The Ace's own momentum to send him tumbling out of the ring.}
Terri Morasco: Roberto had that well scouted...
Vasco Dias: Of course he did Terri, Roberto knows all of The Ace's moves!
{Seeing The Ace down, Roberto grabs the steel chair near him and rolls out of the ring with it, setting it down beside The Ace and actually begging him to get up as he pats his leg.
As The Ace slowly rolls to his feet, Roberto kicks him in the gut and looks to nail him face first into the steel chair with a Legdrop Bulldog...}
Terri Morasco: I don't believe it, Roberto is looking to end The Ace and this match with his own FameAcer!
Vasco Dias: Yes! Do it! The Ace chose his own fate with this match, so its only fitting he fall by virtue of his own hubris!
(Roberto jumps up in the air, but just before he can connect, The Ace somehow has the presence of mind to counter into a stunning and rapid Reversal of Fortune Diamond Cutter, driving Roberto face first into the heavily dented chair, causing the crowd to explode into a chorus of "HOLY SHIT!" chants.}
Terri Morasco: COUNTER! THE ACE COUNTERED A FAMEACER ATTEMPT INTO A REVERSAL OF FORTUNE!
Vasco Dias: How the hell did he pull that off?
{The referee rushes over to the competitors to begin his count on the fallen Roberto...
...1....2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10... Verona is stirring barely...11...12...13...14...15...16....17...18....finally with the help of the ring apron, Roberto manages to get back to his feet, his features entirely crimson, reminiscent of the Devil Jake Conway knew so well.
The Ace's face tells the story of his disbelief as he runs a hand through his hair and curses.}
Terri Morasco: Good God Almighty, somehow Roberto is still in this match!
Vasco Dias: You're damn right he is, you don't become the boss of your own promotion and the longest reigning Imperial Champion in history without learning how to be incredibly resilient.
{Roberto wipes the blood from his eyes just in time to duck a right hand from The Ace, Roberto answers with shots of his own, getting the better of the exchange for the moment, driving The Ace back as they begin to brawl around the ring, man to man and hand to hand, without weapons.
Whilst The Ace uses his fists, Verona prefers to use a combination of his punches and his kicks, and both men soon find themselves exchanging blows before the stripped Spanish announce table.
Roberto fires off his signature Silencer superkick, connecting with The Ace's jaw and causing his eyes to roll up in the back of his head.
The Ace falls backwards, but not down, thanks to the Spanish announce table which helps keep him on his feet whilst otherwise slumped on top of the table...}
Terri Morasco: The Ace is still on his feet thanks to our colleagues' announce table...
Vasco Dias: A mere technicality which Roberto Verona will correct momentarily....
{Roberto walks over to Terri and Vasco's table and takes their water bottle, unscrewing it and taking a swig before spilling the rest of its contents all over his face and using his hand to wash his own blood away. Roberto then throws the empty bottle aside and approaches a still woozy Ace at the other table, he climbs up on the table, pulling Ace up with him.
Roberto pulls The Ace into a front face lock and jumps backwards delivering his signature Brainwasher DDT THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE!}
Vasco Dias: WHAT DID I TELL YOU TERRI? BRAINWASHER THROUGH THE TABLE! IT'S OVER!
Terri Morasco: If I didn't know better, I'd swear that was actually an Ace-Plant!
Vasco Dias: Whatever you want to call it Terri, The Ace won't be able to recover from it...
Terri Morasco: Neither will Roberto Verona if you ask me....
{A replay of Verona''s incredible DDT is shown before we return to the live action where the referee begins to count both men out...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14...Roberto is starting to move and begins crawling out of the wreckage first...15...16... The Ace is moving too now, Roberto crawls towards the referee...17...18...19...from down on his knees, Verona uppercuts the referee, knocking him down on his backside, stopping the count and buying himself more time to recover...}
Terri Morasco: THAT SON OF A BITCH JUST STRUCK THE REFEREE TO STOP THE COUNT!
Vasco Dias: Smart move sometimes you need a little longer to recover!
{The referee holds his jaw as he sits up, Roberto now slowly gets to his feet. The Ace is also finally to his feet next to Terri. He reaches down behind her chair and pulls out the signature weapon of his mentor, Spike Kane - a sledgehammer with its head wrapped in barb wire!}
Terri Morasco: SPIKED ONE SEVEN POINT OH!
Vasco Dias: Jesus Christ, what were you doing with that Terri?
Terri Morasco: It isn't mine!
Vasco Dias: Then what the hell was it doing behind your chair?
{Seeing The Ace armed with the Hammer of The Blood God inspires Roberto Verona to turn away and start running from The Ace, who gives chase much to the delight of the fans.
Roberto trips half way up the ramp in his haste, as The Ace looms over him.}
Vasco Dias: GOOD GOD NO! NO DAMN IT!
Terri Morasco: Some would say this has been a long time coming....
{The Ace looks at the sledgehammer like a man possessed, whilst Roberto stumbles to his feet on the ramp, shaking his head and trying to reason with Ace, reminding him of their long friendship and saying it doesn't have to end like this.}
Terri Morasco: I can't believe Verona is trying to talk his way out of this!
Vasco Dias: If The Ace was smart, he'd listen, it's better for his career to keep a man like Roberto Verona close...
{The referee has now joined both men on the ramp, and it appears that Roberto's powers of persuasion are getting through to The Ace as he lowers the sledgehammer to his side, The crowd erupt into boos.}
Vasco Dias: For once good sense rather than violence prevails in professional wrestling...
Terri Morasco: I can't believe what I'm seeing...
{Verona nods and smiles and the two friends actually embrace in a hug on the ramp as the crowd boo wildly.
Roberto pats The Ace on the back before pulling back and delivering the point of his elbow into the side of The Ace's head, causing him to stumble a few steps backward and create just enough separation between the two men for Roberto to jump up and deliver a Requiescat In Peace single knee facebreaker!}
Terri Morasco: Oh my! What an absolutely despicable move!
Vasco Dias: I think you mean "brilliant" Terri, haha, you know what they say about suckers...there's one born every minute!
{The crowd erupt into chants of "Verona Sucks!" as The Ace drops his weapon and falls backwards onto the cold hard steel of the ramp, every bit as unforgiving as Verona himself.
Verona yells at the referee to begin counting...
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...
The Ace starts to stir, as Verona shakes his head and yells "You never learn, do you?!"
...12...13...14...15....
Verona then rolls up his elbow pad and removes the brass knuckles that were tucked under it. He laughs as he slides them on to his right hand.}
Terri Morasco: That was a loaded elbow, no wonder Jake couldn't react fast enough to counter Roberto's cheap tactics.
Vasco Dias: Cheap maybe, but effective, and that's all that matters in this match!
{...16...17...18...19...
Now Roberto looms over a struggling Ace, laughing, and declaring that it was over and that he'd outsmarted The Ace again...
20...
Unfortunately for Verona in all his gloating whilst standing over The Ace, he hasn't realised that he's in the perfect position for Ace to kick him right between the legs and deliver a low blow. The Ace rolls to his feet as Roberto falls to his knees.
The referee uses his discretion to halt the count and allow the match to continue.}
Vasco Dias: Damn it! Almost got him!
Terri Morasco: Almost? No Jake definitely got him that time!
{With Roberto down on his knees, The Ace delivers a stiff kick to Verona's face before dragging him up to his feet and delivering shot after shot to Verona forcing him to back pedal further up the ramp and onto the stage. The Ace then grabs Roberto by the head and smashes him face first into the mini tron that is part of the Legacy set.
It cracks and some sparks fly.}
Vasco Dias: Just what is The Ace trying to do here? Kill Roberto Verona?
Terri Morasco: After Roberto's little stunt, I can't say I blame him!
{The Ace then lifts Roberto into a powerslam position before dropping him with the Blind Bet right on the stage!
Terri Morasco: Blind Bet right on the steel!
Vasco Dias: Okay Terri, you don't have to sound quite so pleased about it...
{The referee begins counting Roberto out....1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...
The Ace leaves Roberto laying there and goes to retrieve the sledgehammer he was forced to abandon earlier, his more sadistic nature awoken now, he twirls it in his grip before walking back towards Verona...}
Vasco Dias: Enough's enough damn it! Think about what you're doing! You can't treat your boss this way!
Terri Morasco: Maybe Roberto should treat his employees and his friends better, I have no sympathy for him...
Vasco Dias: Wow, that's cold Terri! I never knew you could be so heartless!
{...13...14...15...
The Ace stands before Verona, who is trying to use The Ace to pull himself back up to his feet, The Ace offers no assistance...
...17...18...
Roberto spits out the words "Think about Kathy, Jake, think about what I could do to her," as he stumbles back up to his feet. He takes a few steps back away from The Ace to the edge of the stage..taking a wild and desperate swipe with his brass knuckles, which Ace manages to dodge, having it scouted from previous experience.
"I am," replies The Ace before driving the sledgehammer into Roberto's gut and causing him to FALL BACKWARDS OFF THE STAGE AND THROUGH A COUPLE OF WOODEN TABLES BELOW!
The crowd start chanting "IT IS OVER!" and "HOLY SHIT!"
The referee starts counting as The Ace drops to his knees, partly out of exhaustion and partly out of remorse for having to do this to a man he considered his best friend not so long ago.
It is then that The Ace begins to feel the blood pouring down his face and chest.}
Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD! ACE KILLED HIM! ACE KILLED ROBERTO VERONA!
Terri Morasco: PLEASE TELL ME IT'S FINALLY OVER! THESE MEN HAVE PUT EACH OTHER THROUGH HELL!
{...1...2...3...4...5...6....7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14...15.....
Roberto is out cold, as The Ace pushes himself up to his feet...
....16...17...18...19...
The Ace looks down over the stage at the fallen Verona...
...20...
....21...
The referee calls for the bell and as soon as it rings, The Ace's music plays, and a waiting Kathy rushes out and crouches beside her husband, tears in her eyes, asking him if he's okay, he nods and she wraps her arms around him, holding him as he falls into her embrace...}
Terri Morasco: These men just showed you why there's only ever been three of these matches across the history of two companies...
Vasco Dias: And to give credit where it is due, The Ace has been in all three of them including tonight...the first Natural Selection Match ever in IWF history...
Terri Morasco: And what's more, with this victory The Ace has earned a guaranteed Imperial Championship opportunity...
{Alison Valance officially announces The Ace as the winner as Hannah Reed leads Dr Kingsley and her team of EMTs out to tend to both men as we cut to a bief commercial for next month's Extreme Endurance...}
SINGLES MATCH Bob Pooler vs Spike Kane
{The lights in the arena dim as a three second countdown appears on the jumbotron. The opening guitar riff of "How To Be A Human" hits as the countdown reaches zero and Pooler walks out onto the stage amongst the shower of cellphone flashes. Sporting a smirk, he holds a hand up to his head, shielding his eyes before pointing at a section of the crowd with a smile. }
Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring; from Manchester, New Hampshire; weighing in at two hundred and twenty-eight pounds … Bob … POOOOOLER!
{Pooler heads down the ramp, breaking into a run and sliding into the ring beneath the bottom rope. He pops back to his feet and heads to the nearest corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle and throws his arms into the air to the roar of the crowd. He drops back down to the ring and grabs hold of the ropes, tugging down on them and taking a moment to stretch before the match can begin. }
Terri Morasco: Bob Pooler is looking to light a fire under himself as he returns to IWF!
Vasco Dias: Yeah, two matches in three weeks, who knows? Maybe he won’t get destroyed tonight and have another soon….but I’m not betting on it.
{The crowd grow silent as the lights go out, monks chanting can be heard, as the chanting gets louder the stage area starts to fill with smoke. Suddenly, and abruptly as the drums and guitars kick in a pyro explodes around the stage.}
“BROTHERS! MY BROTHERS! Is this all what we are? SISTERS! MY SISTERS! We’ve been crushed by the fists of GOD!!!”
{On the word God another pyro explodes either side of the rampway as Spike Kane appears through the smoke. He stands with his arms outstretched, fists balled up soaking in the reaction from the crowd. After a few seconds he simply heads right to the ring, rolling under the bottom rope and standing right in the center of the ring, extending his arms once more, before the lights fade to normal and the music fades.}
Vasco Dias: And here comes Spike Kane, representing the House of Howlett.
Terri Morasco: Spike thought he’d ended Bob Pooler, but last week was shocked to be challenged by him as he made an unlikely return.
{Both men stand ready in the ring, the referee call for the bell and Spike Kane walks menacingly to the center of the ring. Bob cocks his head before walking right up to Spike’s face and smirking at him. Kane begins to talk smack, and Pooler doesn’t hold back, shouting right back at Spike. Before Spike launches a brutal headbut right into the face of Bob Pooler, sending him reeling. He follows with huge right punches, but after the third one, Bob ducks underneath and hits the bricks, heading for the ropes right opposite Spike. Bob Pooler bounces off the ropes and goes for a diving forearm but Spike launches into a huge spear taking Pooler down!}
Vasco Dias: Damn, I haven’t seen Spike pull that out for a while.
Terri Morasco: Spike’s always been a big match player, and you don’t get much bigger than an IWF pay per view event!
Vasco Dias: ….are you….shilling the event?
Terri Morasco ...it’s our job.
Vasco Dias: We’re almost at the end!
{Spike is back on his feet rather quickly, and he drags Bob Pooler to his feet too. Bob suddenly elbows Spike right in the ribs, and quickly takes him over with a snapmare, he hits the ropes in a split second and comes back with a snap dropkick to the back of Spike’s head. Spike seems a little stunned by the move, but turns to try and get to his feet, whilst he’s on his knees, Bob Pooler hits him with a devastating shining wizard, taking the big man down.}
Terri Morasco: Bob is brutal with that move.
Vasco Dias: I’m not sure you can get much more brutal than smashing someones face in.
{Pooler goes for the cover over Spike, but as expected Kane kicks out before the referee can even get to one. Bob gets back to his feet, and begins to assess the situation as Spike staggers for the corner. Pooler comes over to pick Spike up, but Spike pulls Pooler down into the turnbuckle. Bob leans in the turnbuckle holding his mouth as Spike runs right to the opposite turnbuckle and bounces off it as if it were the ropes, and comes charging right at Bob Pooler and hits the…..KIDD KICK!!!}
Vasco Dias: WHAT!?
Terri Morasco: Did…..did Spike just use his sons move?
Vasco Dias: What the hell does that mean!?
Terri Morasco: We all know that Warren Kane is missing….was Spike showing some kind of support, or was he taunting Warren?
{The crowd boo as Spike stands in the center of the ring smiling broadly, soaking it all up. He makes a crybaby motion with his hands, before sneering back at the crowd. All of a sudden the boos rise to a crescendo as the House of Howlett appear on the top of the stage, lead by Laura Howlett herself, and begin to make their way down the ramp. Pooler is struggling to try and get to his feet as Cable and Zasshu approach the ring. Laura hands Spike a microphone.}
Spike Kane: Are you really that dense Bob?
{The crowd erupt with boos as Spike talks. Bob is crawling towards Spike, trying to use him to climb back to his feet, but Spike clocks him right in the head with the microphone, sending him back down to the floor. The referee calls for the bell, and Spike rounds on him instantly, staring daggers at him. The ref backs away and slides out of the ring, getting the hell out of dodge.}
Spike Kane: Did you really think I was going to give you exactly what you wanted? Did you think I was going to come out here like the good ‘ol boy you think you are, and put on a classic for these idiots?
{He points to the crowd as he speaks, and they naturally boo. Outside, Laura is directing traffic, getting Zasshu and Cable to set up a table just in front of the ramp. Spike walks around the ring and begins to stomp on Bob Pooler a little.}
Spike Kane: You don’t get to make demands of me, and you most certainly don’t get to make demands of the House of Howlett. We’ve told you, every single one of us has told you….we run this place, whether our names are on the marquee or not….we are the reason you pathetic sons of bitches are sitting there in your seats right now. You pay to see US! Because we are the best, because we are what you could never be….and Bob, if you really think that I’m doing this to you because I’m scared of you? Then you need to go back to Doc Riley, because you’re more messed in the head than I thought….
{Spike drops the mic on the floor, and then he picks up Bob Pooler, Spike gets into position as he whips Bob Pooler off the ropes, on the return Spike hefts Pooler into the air, turning before POP UP POWERBOMBING BOB POOLER OUT OF THE RING AND THROUGH THE TABLE!!! The time keeper rings the bell again, as Spike sneers down at Bob Pooler, before turning and embracing the boos from the crowd, “Crushed” plays over the pa system and the House of Howlett slowly make their way backstage, to an absolute chorus of boos.}
Vasco Dias: This is just sick, he could have killed Bob Pooler!
Terri Morasco: How do we know that wasn’t the plan? Spike clearly had no intention of going through with the match, and a loss by DQ doesn’t bother him either.
Vasco Dias: There are certainly dark days ahead for IWF Terri, dark, violent, days.
---------------------------------------------------------- EMPTY ARENA SINGLES MATCH Takes place at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut Steve Awesome vs Rob Diamond
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome vs Rob Diamond in a brutal fight in an empty arena in conneticut.
Vasco Dias:: and of course Rob Diamond is in control.
{Both men seemed to be on wobbly legs but they still were throwing punches at each other. Rob staggers Steve with a hard right and then a left and another FIST FULL OF DEMOCRACY he then nails Steve with a kick to the midsection grabs him by the head and throws him over the service counter of a concession stand. Steve slides over the counter and falls to the floor on the other side with a hard thud. Rob Diamond walks over toward the counter where Steve fell and Steve suddenly pops up from the other side and before Rob knew what happened Steve shoves a wiener in in robs mouth and then squirts him in the face with ketchup and mustered!}
Terri Morasco: And Rob Diamond takes a wiener in the mouth Vasco!
Vasco Dias:: I'm sure you had a lot of fun calling that!
Terri Morasco: Words can't describe it.
{Rob Diamond spits out the hot dog and tries to wipe his eyes of the condiments as Steve hops onto the counter and kicks Rob in the face and he stumbles backward, still trying to get his eyes to stop burning and Steve walks over and grabs Rob and slams him into the closed steel curtain of the next concession stand over. Rob's face bounces off it with a clang and Steve drops him with a neck breaker. He goes for a cover. 1......2.....Rob kicks out. Steve gets up and shakes his head and grabs Rob by the hair to drag him to his feet.}
Terri Morasco: And the Face of the Franchise is dragging Rob Diamond by the ear down another hallway.
Vasco Dias:: Don't call him that he's done nothing to deserve that moniker. Terri Morasco: Well he's doing a pretty good job against Rob Diamond here tonight.
{Steve Awesome looks up and notices there are three doors in the hallway. He punches Rob in the face a couple times then opens up the first door. A couple drones fly out and down the hall and when Steve looks into the room he sees a dilapidated boat! He grabs Rob by the head and smashes him face first off the old dilapidated boat. Rob drops to one knee and when Steve goes to grab Rob he catches a couple elbows to the stomach. Steve hunches over and Rob snaps a couple jabs and then a stiff uppercut and Steve falls to the ground. Rob stomps on the knee of Steve a couple times and then shoves the dilapidated boat on top of Steve's leg and Steve yells out in pain!}
Vasco Dias:: That is smart of Rob Diamond! Go right after the leg!
Terri Morasco: I will never argue Rob's ability to wrestle.
{Rob stumbles out of the room and opens the next door over and inside the room was “BAD LUCK” CHUCK” who was just whistling as he mops the floor inside the room. Rob just looks at him confused.}
Terri Morasco: Bad Luck Chuck is the janitor? What is going on in this place?
Vasco Dias:: I'm more alarmed that this idiot actually showed up for work today let alone actually has a job there!
Bad Luck Chuck: I've been picking up extra hours here to make some extra cash. You know today I think my luck is about to change!
{Just then the door flings open and Rob and Chuck notice Steve standing in the door with the boat from the other room over his head. Steve lets it fly with all the might he could muster and Rob dives out of the way just in time but Bad Luck Chuck isn't as lucky and he takes it to the face. Steve looks a little shocked at what happened and Rob shoves Steve backward out of the door way and back into the hall. Steve stumbles and Rob slams Steve against the third door and it opens and Steve falls forward and down a half a flight of stairs.}
Terri Morasco: Steve stumbled down a couple stairs there. Looked like it hurt.
Vasco Dias:: And now Rob is there looking like a shark that smelled blood.
Terri Morasco: He senses Steve is hurt. He grabs Steve sets him up for the double underhook. NO!
Vasco Dias:: Diamond Driver on the cement stairs!?!?!?
{But no, Steve manages to lift Rob up for a back body drop on the stairs. Rob yells out in pain as Steve stumbles down the rest of the stairs and out the bottom door out to the parking lot. Steve walks out and rests against a couple stacks of crates just laying around. But Rob comes from out of nowhere with another SPEAR right into the stack of crates!}
Terri Morasco: Oh my god!!! Spear right through all those shipping crates!
Vasco Dias:: But how much did that take from Rob?
Terri Morasco: Wait, the ref is going down for a count. Who has the cover?
Vasco Dias:: I think it's Rob!
{1......}
{2............}
{But somebody kicks out and Rob pops up with a shocked look on his face. Rob argues with the referee and then he reaches down and grabs Steve who looks out on his feet. Rob drags steve over and slams him face first into a cement beam and he bounces back and manages to hoise Rob up on his shoulders and he looks for a SteveKO but Rob slides off his shoulders and goes for a Diamond Cutter but Steve shoves him off and tries to go for a jawbreaker super kick but Rob ducks and tries to set up for the Diamond Driver but steve back body drops Rob but rob lands on his feet and this time Steve connects with a Jawbreaker Superkick and Rob flys back and lands back first into the back of an open moving truck. Steve climbs up and grabs the sliding door, grabs it and slams it down into the ribs of rob diamond! Rob yells out in pain as Steve holds it down on top of rob as hard as he could and he tells the ref to count.}
{1......}
{2......}
{Rob is trapped he has no way to kick out even if he could but he was out cold.}
{3!!!!!}
Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome has done it! He just beat Rob Diamond in a brutal match up!
Vasco Dias:: NO! How could this have happened? Somebody get in there and check if Rob is okay!
{Steve stumbles back admiring his work as the referee checks on the not moving Rob Diamond!!!}
IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP Heir 2016 Winner vs Jayson Matthews
Terri Morasco: Here we go! After two long months the Heir to the Throne is over and tonight we will finally have a new Imperial Champion!!!
Vasco Dias: As if we didn’t already know who was going to win!!??
Terri Morasco: I know you’ve been betting on Cable Arcane since day one but Jayson Matthews has a never say die attitude and tonight could be his night!
Vasco Dias: Tonight will be the night that Jayson Matthews is sent packing back down to the bottom of the ladder and the best in the world takes his rightful place at the top of the mountain!
Terri Morasco: That may be the case but wither way it all comes down to this next match up. Cable Arcane is the 2016 Heir to the Throne and Jayson Matthews earned himself a number one contendership after winning the Joker in the Pack with his partner, Warren Kane. Two men enter. One man leaves… THE NEW IMPERIAL CHAMPION!!!!
{ The drum beat kicks in. Then the guitar riffs. Jayson Matthews comes stepping out onto the entrance ramp moving his head to the beat and staring out into the crowd with a wide eyed stare of awe at the packed house in attendance. He steps onto the entrance stage and makes sure to hit both sides of the stage to hype the crowd as the lyrics start. }
Last call now I'm outta time And I don't got no valentine Singled out, now I stand alone The underdog in a modern world Suburbia is hot tonight But nothing seems to feel alright I don't want your sympathy I just need a little therapy At least that's what they say to me.
{ With that Jayson pumps himself up and runs for the ring with intensity as the chorus starts. }
Hey ho let's go I'm gonna start a riot You don't wanna fight it One two fuck you Don't tell me what to do I don't wanna be like you
{ He slides into the ring and all the lights in the arena start flashing black and orange really fast as Jayson climbs to a turnbuckle and yells into the crowd as they cheer back at him. }
Can't you see it's killing me I'm my own worst enemy Knock me down I'll keep on moving It's the art of losing
{ The music starts to fade as Jayson waits for his opponent. }
Terri Morasco: The crowd is incredibly excited to see Jayson Matthews here and he looks ready to go!
Vasco Dias: He can fake smile all he wants but he is not walking out of here the champion! Cable Arcane is going to slap the piss out of him and walk out the one and only Imperial Champion!
Terri Morasco: Cable Arcane has been on a roll since arriving here in IWF but tonight is the biggest match of his career, the biggest match of Jayson’s career, they’re both going to be fighting with everything they have.
Vasco Dias: And for Jayson Matthews it’s just not going to be enough!
{ The lights in the arena dim and strobe red as "Looking down the barrel of Today" by Hatebreed begins to play through out the arena. The crowd gets to their feet and boo as Cable Arcane slowly struts out from behind the curtain, his head bowed and bobbing along with the music. He steps in the middle of the stage then throws his arms out and his head up as the song kicks into high gear, bright white lights lighting up behind him practically blinding everyone watching. The lights dim again and strobe red with the music as Cable Arcane begins to make his way to the ring, strutting down the ramp before hopping up onto the apron, pulling himself up and flying between the ropes. He stops in the middle of the ring and throws his arms out again soaking in the hate of the crowd as his music begins to fade. }
Terri Morasco: The fans here in attendance tonight are not happy to see the self proclaimed best in the world.
Vasco Dias: Well then they’re all idiots because Cable Arcane is the best in the world and tonight he proves that! He’s already won the Heir to the Throne now all he has left to do is claim his championship!
Terri Morasco: For your sake I hope he wins because if he loses you’re going to look like a real idiot.
Vasco Dias: He will not lose.
{ Cable Arcane stands across the ring from Jayson Matthews as Alison Valance walks into the ring, the referee holding the vacant Imperial Championship high over his head. }
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with no time limit… No disqualifications… No count out… There must be a winner… And it is for the vacant IWF IMPERIAL WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! To my left, he is wrestling out of Detroit, Michigan, weighing in tonight at 201 pounds… He is the number one contender… JAYSON MATTHEWS!!!!!
{ Matthews springs out of his corner with his hands in the circle twisting around as the crowd pops huge for him. }
Alison Valance: And to my left, he is wrestling out of Hartford, Connecticut! Weighing in at 220 pounds… He is the 2016 Heir to the Throne winner… CABLE ARCANE!!!!
{ Cable throws both his arms up as he remains in his corner, the crowd booing maliciously as he just smirks across the ring at his opponent. }
Terri Morasco: This is it, we are mere moments away from finding out who is the next Imperial Champion.
Vasco Dias: Moments away from crowning Cable Arcane as the unopposed best in the world.
{ The referee shows both men the championship, Jayson kissing his fingers and pressing them against the center plate, Cable just looking down on it, taking a slow breath with his eyes closed and then re-focusing on Jayson. }
Terri Morasco: HERE WE GO!
Vasco Dias: I’ve been waiting all night to see Cable capture the championship!
{ The referee calls for the bell and Cable explodes out of his corner and crashes into Jayson Matthews with a running knee lift right to his face that sends him crashing backward into the corner of the ring. Cable doesn’t let up as he starts to connect with right and left elbows and forearms keeping Jayson pinned down in the corner and then alternating open handed fists with alternating kicks to Jayson’s side before Jayson falls down in the corner and the referee pushes Cable off of him. }
Vasco Dias: Cable Arcane is putting that little punk in his place!
Terri Morasco: He definitely means business tonight!
{ Jayson starts to pull himself up but Cable rushes back in with a hard right forearm across the side of the face of Matthews and then spins around with a heel kick to the midsection. Cable fires off a spinning backfist that rocks the jaw of Jayson Matthews. Cable rips him out of the corner with a snapmare and quickly follows it up with a roll over neck breaker on the seated Jayson Matthews. Cable goes right for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }
Vasco Dias: That was totally three!
Terri Morasco: The referee says two!
Vasco Dias: The referee is blind!!!
{ Cable smirks as he pulls Jayson up to his feet and begins to unload with alternating knees to the gut of Jayson Matthews until he doubles over in pain. Cable runs to the ropes and bounces off, he comes back with a stiff kick to the chest of Jayson Matthews and then scoops him up for a tilt a whirl back breaker! Cable isn’t letting up as he drops right down on top of Jayson with some hard right hands in the ground and pound position, Jayson covers up his head and the referee is forced to pull Cable off. }
Vasco Dias: What the hell is the referee doing!
Terri Morasco: He’s breaking up the very illegal right hands!
Vasco Dias: There has to be a winner Terri! There are no DQ’s in this match!
Terri Morasco: That doesn’t mean the referee isn’t allowed to enforce the rules!
Vasco Dias: What rules!?
{ Cable backs off as Jayson tries to get to his feet but then he runs in with a wicked big boot to the head that sends Jayson stumbling backward into the corner of the ring. Cable then runs in after him with the leaping knee to the face and rips him out of the corner with the running bulldog! }
Vasco Dias: Look at Cable go!
{ Cable quickly rolls him over for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }
Terri Morasco: Jayson is refusing to give up!
Vasco Dias: Then he’s an idiot because he’s already lost!
{ Cable pulls Matthews up to his feet and starts to unload with a muay their combo of rights and lefts that culminate with two quick knees to the chest and a spinning backfist to the face of Jayson Matthews! Matthews falls backward against the ropes and Cable is right there with a running knee lift to the gut of Jayson and then pulls him out with a hammerlock twisted into a short range lariat! }
Vasco Dias: Cable Arcane is just dominating Jayson Matthews!!!!
Terri Morasco: He has been in control since the beginning, that is for sure.
Vasco Dias: In control? Are you kidding me!? He’s destroying Jayson!
{ Cable screams at the fans “THIS IS THE BEST YOU HAVE!?” And then stomps Jayson as hard as he can across his face. He does it again except this time he holds his boot against the head of Matthews and then drags his boot over his face adding insult to injury. }
Terri Morasco: Completely unnecessary!
Vasco Dias: That’s your opinion! Jayson doesn’t belong in this match!
{ Cable pulls Jayson up to his feet and connects with another backfist and then hoists him up onto his shoulder looking for the roll over fireman’s carry but Jayson starts firing off angry elbow shots to the side of Cable’s head over and over again until he drops him. Cable turns around and right into the JAYSON MATTHEWS EXPERIENCE!!! }
Terri Morasco: THAT’S IT!!!!!
Vasco Dias: NO WAY!!!!
{ Jayson scrambles for the pin. ONE! KICK OUT! }
Vasco Dias: Not even a two count!
{ Jayson pushes himself up to his feet and starts to get fired up as he waits for Cable to stand. Cable is up and groggy and Jayson rushes in for the RIBKRACKER!!!! }
Terri Morasco: RIBKRACKER!!!!
Vasco Dias: NO FREAKING WAY!!!!
{ The crowd pops huge for Jayson as he throws himself over Cable!!! }
Vasco Dias: This can’t happen!!!!
{ Jayson hooks the leg and ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!!!! }
Vasco Dias: That’s what I thought!!!!
Terri Morasco: He just got the shoulder up!!!
Vasco Dias: No, he absolutely got the shoulder up!

Vasco Dias: Look at that clothes line!!!!

Vasco Dias: That was what the best in the world looks like.

Vasco Dias: Earned it!? This whole thing was a foregone conclusion when he returned!
