SINGLES MATCH
Pandora Freeman vs Stephanie Sullivan
----------------------------------------------------------
{ Scandalous by Misteeq” starts to play across the Pa system and Stephanie slowly emerges from behind the curtain. She is clad in a long black robe and written on the back of the robe in glow in the dark white lettering is the word Scandalous. The front has 3S interlocked with one another. The crowd begins to shower her with a welcome of boos alike. She blows a kiss to the crowd which draws an even bigger negative reaction, and she taunts them as she struts her way down to the ring. Stephanie makes her way down to the ring she grins as she makes her way inside the ring. She grabs her robe and breaks out into the open jacket orgasm. She shakes her ass as she tosses her robe to the side. She bounces around as she awaits in anticipation for the match to begin. }Vasco Dias: I'm lovin' this chick already.
Terri Morasco: Ya know...sometimes I think you get "love" and "lust" confused.
Vasco Dias: So says the--
Terri Morasco: Hold up--here comes Pandora!
{The lights dim, Even as the Intro to the song helps to light up UV, glowsticks, people waving and bouncing before the beat drops and out slams PAndoa, light up like a christmas tree by UV, as light slwoly bleed back to the area Panodora dances down tothe ring, esily gracing movements as she hops up the apron and climbs in before gripping the top rope and arching back down to touch the ring mat with herdead a leave her feet on the ground making quite the arch as she rises up slowly still bouncing to the music asshe encoruages the crowd to move with her.}[DING!]{The two women come to the center of the ring and lock up. Pandora gets the advantage, throwing Stephanie by her hair across the ring. Stephanie gets up in the corner and is met by Pandora and a huge splash, and as Stephanie stumbles out of the corner, Pandora kicks her in the gut and hits her with a Snap Suplex into the center of the ring, floating over and pulling Stephanie up, possibly going for another Suplex, but we’ll never know as Stephanie hits a few shots to the ribs of Pandora before dropping down and taking Pan out with a Dropkick to the knees, Pan hitting face-first on the mat.}Terri Morasco: Good counter by Stephanie.
Vasco Dias: Everything she does is good in my book.
{Stephanie lifts Pandora to her feet and goes behind her for a German Suplex, but Pandora hits a few elbows to the head of Stephanie before a reverse switch and leaping into the air, hitting Stephanie with the BEAT DROP!}Terri Morasco: The Beat Drop out of nowhere!
{Pan with the cover…
1!
2!!
3!!!}Vasco: Wow...that was quick…
Alison Valance: Here is your winner...Pandora...FREEMAN!
{Pandora’s hand is raised as we cut to the back.}----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”A favor.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ We cut backstage to the ever beautiful Sara Garcia as she checks her facebook feed on her phone when someone clearing her throat catches her attention. Sara looks up to see Laura Howlett, the leader of the House of Howlett, by herself for a change with a slight smile on her face. }Sara Garcia: Can I help you?
Laura Howlett: As a matter of fact, you can. You see, my client, Mr. Kane has been put in a intergender tag team match tonight against Dre Cutler and Shea O’Hare, as it turns out there are no “Diamonds” on this roster woman enough to tag with the god of Xtreme.
{ Sara nods, getting the question before it’s asked. }Sara Garcia: You want me to tag with Spike Kane?
Laura Howlett: I would appreciate it.
Sara Garcia: Spike isn’t exactly known for his amazing treatment of women.
Laura Howlett: I’m aware my client has a reputation with female talent but if you were to overlook that and team with him tonight I would consider it a personal favor.
Sara Garcia: A favor?
Laura Howlett: I’m a woman of considerable power at the moment, the Imperial Champion works for me, Infamous works for me as well as the Future Legend, Zasshu, forgive me for being presumptuous but I am a woman you would want in your debt.
{ Sara seems to consider this for a moment. }Laura Howlett: There will come a time when you or your sister step into the ring with the Diamonds Championship on the line, I imagine facing the enigma known as Eternity with the best in the business by your side will come as a very comforting thought.
{ Sara sees where she’s going with this and she doesn’t seem to hate the idea. }Sara Garcia: Fine, I’ll tag with Spike tonight but I want your word that he isn’t going to… Revert to form.
Laura Howlett: I promise you, he will have your back as will the rest of us.
{ Laura extends her hand and Sara takes it as the two of them shake. }----------------------------------------------------------
ZASSHU'S CRUISERWEIGHT INVERTATIONAL
SINGLES MATCH
Zasshu vs Local Competitor
----------------------------------------------------------
{ 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 and holding his fists up 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. From there he runs to the ropes and leaps onto the second rope in the corner and holds his fists up again over his head as Laura Howlett claps from the outside. }Terri Morasco: Zasshu suffered yet another loss last week at Legacy in what is starting to look like a pattern.
Vasco Dias: Zasshu has merely had some bad luck, which can be expected when facing off against someone as talented as Noah Field.
Terri Morasco: It must be hard for you to figure out which one to praise.
Vasco Dias: They’re both amazing talents.
{ Zasshu hops down off the ropes as Laura makes her way into the ring with a microphone in hand. The crowd is already livid before she even speaks. }Laura Howlett: Legacy was a night of both celebration and disappointment for the House of Howlett.
{ The crowd starts an “AWESOME! AWESOM!” chant for Steve Awesome as Laura just sneers at them. }Laura Howlett: While two of my clients were unsuccessful in their endeavors, my other two clients were EXTREMELY successful. First we crushed Bob Pooler like insect that he is and left him laying in a pool of his own blood!!!
{ The crowd goes back to booing as Laura wears a huge smile. }Laura Howlett: Then, in the main event of the evening, Cable Arcane, The BEST in the World!!! Did exactly what we said he was going to do and became the NEW IMPERIAL CHAMPION!!!!
{ Again the crowd boos Laura who looks incredibly happy with herself. }Laura Howlett: Later tonight, Mr. Arcane will grace you with his glorious presence but right now my client, Zasshu has a match to take part in. A match which will be a part of some sort of Cruiser Weight Invitational, as if my client is so unskilled inside of this ring that he can only take on men “his own size.”
{ She looks disgusted now as she starts to speak again. }Laura Howlett: My client is a LEGEND KILLER! A former Man of Steel Champion! The single Greatest Invictus Champion to ever live, a championship HE WILL RECAPTURE whether that insufferable snake Noah Field likes it or not! HE IS A FUTURE LEGEND! And your current Invictus Champion is just a flash in the pan, soaking in his fifteen minutes of fame but I promise you! I ASSURE YOU! My Client will be taking back what is ours one way or another and you, Noah Field will be sorry you ever crossed the House of Howlett.
Terri Morasco: Laura is really ripping into our new Invictus Champion
Vasco Dias: I mean, Noah Field did win fair and square.
Terri Morasco: By using Zasshu’s tights to gain extra leverage.
Vasco Dias: I didn’t see that…
Laura Howlett: And Noah! Pay attention to what my client does to the sorry little loser they send out to face him because that WILL BE YOU!
{ Laura turns to her client, Zasshu and starts to give him marching orders as generic rock music starts to play and a small dark haired man comes running out from the back complete with red, white and blue streamers hanging off his biceps and matching tights. He spins around in a circle with excitement as Alison announces him. }Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall in the Zasshu Cruiser Weight Invitational!!! His opponent tonight, hailing from the Bronx, New York, weighing in one hundred and sixty two pounds… THE BRONX BOMBER!!!!!
{ The Bomber lets out a yell as he runs down the ring. }Vasco Dias: Who the hell is this guy?
Terri Morasco: Are you kidding me!? He’s the Bronx Bomber, the current NYWF Television Champion!!!
Vasco Dias: The what? Look Terri, build this kid up all you like but he’s about to get destroyed!
{ The Bomber slides in under the bottom rope and jumps to his feet as Zasshu connects with the Buenos Noches Kick from out of nowhere!!!! The referee immediately rings the bell to start the match. }Vasco Dias: That’s how a real champion handles his business!
Terri Morasco: By blind siding his opponent!?
Vasco Dias: If that’s what you have to do.
{ Laura dictates from outside of the ring as Zasshu peels the Bomber up off the mat and back to his feet where he connects with the Karate Chop combo! Large welts start to form across the chest of the Bomber as he stumbles backward. Zasshu turns and connects with a spin kick to the midsection. Zasshu grabs him for a short arm Irish whip into the corner and follows him right in for the Monkey Flip! Zasshu nips up to his feet as Laura continues to yell. }Vasco Dias: Look at the Future Legend rip this loser apart!
Terri Morasco: He didn’t even give the kid half a second to get in the ring.
Vasco Dias: GOOD!
{ Zasshu runs and bounces off the ropes and comes back with the Rolling Thunder on the Bomber. He doesn’t cover him, instead he pulls him back up to his feet and hoists him up for the Zasshu Driver! The Bomber is completely out of it as Zasshu drags him up to his feet again. }Terri Morasco: Just end it already!
Vasco Dias: He’s sending a message to Noah Field!
Terri Morasco: The message is sent.
{ Zasshu again whips the Bomber into the corner of the ring and runs in after him with the canon ball, crushing him against the turnbuckles. Zasshu is right up and climbs up the corner of the ring then springs off with the World’s Best Moonsult! }Terri Morasco: That has to be it…
{ Laura laughs from the outside before she yells “FINISH HIM!!!” Zasshu pulls the Bomber back up to his feet and lines up the shot as the crowd boos him viciously. Zasshu fires of his second Buenos Noches Kick right to the side of his head! The Bomber goes down in a heap. Zasshu doesn’t even make a real pin attempt, he firmly plants a boot on the chest of the Bomber as the referee drops for the count. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Alison Valance: Your winner-
{ Laura rips the microphone out of Alison’s hands. }Laura Howlett: Your winner, THE NEXT INVICTUS CHAMPION! THE FUTURE LEGEND!!! ZASSHU!!!!
{ Zasshu throws his fists up in celebration, behind him the Bomb pushes himself up slowly to his feet but Zasshu whips around with another vicious kick to the side of his head! }Terri Morasco: What a deplorable move by Zasshu.
Vasco Dias: He’s sending a message to Noah Field and I’m going to have to say the message came through loud and clear.
{ Laura looks into the camera with Zasshu posing behind her and she yells “YOU’RE NEXT FIELD!” }----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”I own you.”
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Another thing that happened at Legacy was The Empty Arena Match! It pit Rob Diamond versus Steve Awesome in what was one hell of a fight.
Vasco Dias: It was a travesty. Rob Diamond didn't deserve any of that!
Terri Morasco: Have you been watching the same show that I've been watching? Rob tried to end Steve's career. He put him on the shelf for THREE months, Vasco. I think Rob deserved what he got last sunday!
Vasco Dias: You would think that and....
{“REGRETS I'VE HAD MINE!}{The lights in the arena start flashing green and black as Steve Awesome comes walking out on the stage dressed in a pair of tight jeans a black vest left open to show off his trademark abdominal region and of course his classic aviator sunglasses.}Terri Morasco: Well whatever you had to say about him, you could say it to his face because he is on his way out to the ring.
Vasco Dias: I would never share a ring with that pompous celebrity blow hard.
Terri Morasco: You big chicken.
{Awesome climbs into the ring and does the kneel and flex pose as green pyro rains down from the ceiling and everything goes into a slow motion effect. The ladies scream, and the rest of the crowd just cheers. Steve grabs a microphone as the music dies down.}Steve Awesome: Damn it felt great to do that entrance again.
{The crowd pops.}Terri Morasco: It is a wonderful entrance.
Vasco Dias: Terri you sound like all these twenty something girls in the crowd tonight!
Steve Awesome: I think I'm going to have to do it at least a few more times coming up in the near future. Perhaps like next week when I step into the ring against a couple of redneck idiots at Open Fight Night! Speaking of that, I'm still looking for a partner....
Vasco Dias: See Terri, nobody wants to be Steve Awesome's partner next week. He's burned his very last bridge with Rob Diamond! Even The Ace turned him down.
Terri Morasco: Well if he doesn't find a partner I'd guess we'd just have a singles match.
Steve Awesome: But I'm not here to talk about that. Tonight I want to talk about Legacy. Oh yes, Legacy, and more importantly the XL Center for becoming a special place in my heart, because that was the place where I finally shoved a wiener in Rob Diamond's mouth! Roll the footage!
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 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!{We cut back to Steve Awesome as he stands in the ring laughing.}Steve Awesome: It felt great. It felt great coming back and giving Rob Diamond exactly what he deserved for trying to end my career. For what he's said about me and Mandi. I came back and I showed Rob Diamond that you can't kill Steve Awesome that easily. And I pretty much proved that Rob Diamond may be the Greatest of All Time but that’s AFTER Steve Awesome!
{The crowd “oohs”}Steve Awesome: But more importantly, it feels great know that I can finally put all this behind me. I put Rob in his place and now he knows that I'm not the one to try to fuck with! It's over with and done and now I can move on to that Man of Steel championship! JFK likes to hide behind paperwork and business tactics but it's only a matter of time until-
{ “Jekle and Hyde” by Five Finger Death Punch cuts Steve off as the crowd starts booing like crazy, a “Weiner Mouth” chant starts to break out. }Vasco: It doesn’t look this is as over as Steve Awesome would like to think it is!
Terri: I’ll admit, it’d be foolish to think Rob is just going to let this go.
{ Rob Diamond followed by Laura Howlett comes stepping out onto the ramp, Laura holding a black brief case with a huge smile on her face. Steve looks up at them and laughs as the music dies down. }Steve Awesome: I see you brought your “handler” with you, will she speak for you too?
{ Rob doesn’t laugh as he raises his own mic. }Rob Diamond: No, she won’t, she’s out here for a slightly different reason. You see Steve, you think this is all over, you think you’re finally rid of me but to be honest, we’re only getting started!
Steve Awesome: I beat you!
Rob Diamond: And I beat you before that. One and One.
Steve Awesome: You want to go again?
Rob Diamond: You know I do.
{ Steve tears off his vest as the crowd pops. }Terri Morasco: It looks like we may have ourselves a match!
Rob Diamond: BUT NOT TONIGHT!!!
{ The crowd chants “Asshole” now as Steve just shakes his head. }Rob Diamond: Tonight we are here to talk business.
Steve Awesome: Business?
{ Laura steps forward now with her own mic. }Laura Howlett: You may remember, Mr. Awesome, a while back your contract was in dispute, at the time you assumed it was Mr. Verona who took control of your contract and forced you out of Imperial Wrestling. You were mistaken.
{ Steve raises an eyebrow as Laura wears a condescending grin. }Terri: What the hell is she saying?
Vasco: I have no idea.
Laura Howlett: You see, at the time I advised my somewhat secret client, Mr. Diamond here, that it would be in both of our best interests if WE purchased your contract.
Terri: WHAT!??!
{ The crowd can’t believe what they are hearing and even Steve looks perplexed. }Rob Diamond: That’s right Awesome! I OWN YOUR ASS!!!! ME! I OWN YOU! Your contract! Your life! It’s in the palm of my hands! And while we will fight again some day inside of that ring it’ll be when I want! WHERE I WANT!!! As for any championship dreams you may be clinging on to, you can go right ahead and push that shit out of your head! After next week Steve Awesome will no long be an active wrestler in IWF! NO! HE WILL DO WHAT I SAY!!! And I think Steve needs to learn a little humility. Work from the bottom up.
{ Steve looks pissed now as it’s all coming together. }Rob Diamond: I’m thinking working concessions, selling my shirts, hell, maybe even cleaning some toilets, really earn your spot on the IWF roster and then, once your contract is a day or two from expiring, I’ll consider facing you one last time just to really drive the point home. I! OWN! YOUR! ASS!
{ Rob throws the mic down and crotch chops Steve from the stage as Laura pats the briefs case that apparently contains Steve’s contract. Steve looks pissed as he starts to shout at Rob from the ring but Rob just shakes his head and laughs as he and Laura turn to head backstage. }Terri Morasco: I don’t believe what we just heard!? Rob Diamond is in control of Steve Awesome’s contract!
Vasco Dias: That appears to be the case and I couldn’t think of a better man for the job.
Terri Morasco: This is insane!
Vasco Dias: This is what happens when you cross the GOAT!

SINGLES MATCH
Eva Broussard vs Kate Steele
----------------------------------------------------------
{Monster by Paramore begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does Kate Steele along with her husband Todd Warren begins to emerge from the back curtain. Kate has a huge smile on her face as she stares at the roaring crowd who are all cheering her on. She begins to sprint down the aisle as she claps the hands of outstretched fans.}Vasco Dias: Here comes Kate Steele, ready for action.
{Kate finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd cheering her on. She closes her eyes placing a single finger over her lips offering the Shhhh sound which all the fans follow in. She takes her place in the corner afterwards waiting for the match to begin.}Terri Morasco: These fans still seem to cheer for Kate, despite her actions of late.
{As "Apex Predator" by Otep plays, blue and gold pyro spray upward. The words Cajun Beauty (in blue and purple lettering) scroll across the Tron. Eva walks out, leans forward and blows a kiss at the crowd before striding to the ring. She climbs through the middle rope, pausing to shake her ass before completely climbing into the ring. She stands on the turnbuckles blowing kisses to the crowd}Vasco Dias: Now Eva is out here, and the Cajun Beauty is ready to go to work!
{Eva hops off the turnbuckle and grabs the ropes, pulling back and forth chomping at the bit for the match to start, meanwhile Kate Steele is calm and collected. Then the bell rings. Eva dashes across the ring at full speed and goes for a monster clothesline to start the match, but Kate rolls under her arm, hops to her feet, and just as Eva turns she connects with a spinning wheel kick knocking Eva to the canvas. Eva gets up again, but again she's met in the jaw with a spinning wheel kick. Eva gets up yet again, and again she's met with a third spinning wheel kick as the crowd roars for Kate.}Vasco Dias: Some fast feet by Kate there.
Terri Morasco: Really bringing the fight to Eva.
{Eva rolls under the ring holding her jaw and walks around the ring on the outside. Kate slides under the bottom rope, and as she does Eva is waiting, and grabbing her foot jerks her out, Kate hitting her mouth on on the apron as she falls to the ground. }Terri Morasco: Ouch, that looked like it hurt.
{Eva slips back in the ring to the chagrin of the crowd she taunts. Kate isn't far behind, but Eva capitalizes, grabbing the top rope and kicking Kate in the back of the head over and over, driving her face into the mat. The referee grabs Eva and pulls her back, but Broussard isn't phased as she pushes the referee aside and goes right back at it, kicking with a ferocity. The referee grabs her a second time, pushing her back and this time Eva complies. }Vasco Dias: You make him earn his paycheck Eva!
Terri Morasco: Using the rulebook to her aid here.
{Kate grabs the ropes and gets back to her feet, but when she does Eva meets her with a series of elbows, backing Kate into the corner. Then she hits her with a series of Muay Thai kick before tucking her head and nailing a snap DDT. Eva covers. ...1 ...2 ..Kate kicks out.}Vasco Dias: Ohhh, near fall.
{Eva transitions from a pin to a mounting position, grabbing a handful of hair, lifting the head of Kate Steele, and unloading with punches as the referee counts, threatening to DQ Eva. Finally just before he completes his count she stops and climbs off of Kate. }Vasco Dias: She’s not letting Kate have an easy night here, is she?
Terri Morasco: If she isn’t careful, she’ll get disqualified!
{Grabbing a handful of hair, Eva aids Kate to her feet, and then whips her to the ropes. Steele hits the ropes and rebounds back only to be caught with a facebreaker knee smash clothesline. Then Eva runs to the ropes herself and springboards off with a moonsault into a pin as the referee counts. ...1 ..2 ..Kate kicks out.}Vasco Dias: Another near fall!
{Eva glares at the referee as she rolls off of Kate. Then she gets herself to her feet and goes to the apron and lies in wait. Finally Kate starts to move and when she does Eva springboards over the top rope with a clothesline, only Kate sidesteps it and then grabs an unsuspecting Eva from behind and hits her with a German suplex, bridged into a pin. ...1 ...2 ..Eva kicks out.}
Terri Morasco: Flip the script Vasco, a near fall for Kate now!
{Eva is quick to snap back to her feet, but when she does Kate hits her with a leg sweep, then follows it up with a springboard leg drop as the crowd roars. She waits for Eva to get up, and when she does she hooks her arm for a brainbuster, but Eva hooks the foot stopping the hold. Kate tries again, but again, Eva hooks the foot. Finally Broussard pushes her off toward the ropes and then charges behind her. Kate grabs the top rope and falls, watching as Eva tumbles to the outside.}
Vasco Dias: That was a pretty hard fall, maybe I should go check on her?
Terri Morasco: I don’t think anybody needs your help Dias.
{Kate watches in the ring, and just as Eva gets to her feet she hits the back rope and then dashes at the front rope, springboarding over it to the outside with a modified cross body to the outside, taking Eva down as the crowd roars. Kate, with adrenaline running, hops to her feet and plays to the crowd for a moment. }
Terri Morasco: THROUGH THE AIR!!!!
{Steele turns back to Eva, lifting her up and rolling her under the bottom rope. Then Kate goes to the apron and springboards over with a leg drop. Kate then goes to the corner and waits as Eva gets up on groggy legs. Then she charges at her, takes her by the head, and drops her with a float over DDT. Kate drops down for a quick pin attempt. ...1 ...2 ..Eva kicks out.}
Terri Morasco: Kate was so close!
Vasco Dias: Yeah, but not close enough. Eva is still in this!
{Kate looks at Eva from her knees as she ponders what to do next. Finally she grabs Eva by the head and lifts her to her feet. Then she tucks the head again only this time she goes to the corner for a tornado DDT, but just as she starts to run the corner, Eva uses her size advantage and manages to catch Kate and tosses her over the top rope as Kate lands on the apron. }
Terri Morasco: Ouch, what visciousness!
{Eva hits an elbow to the head of Kate and then grabs her by the head and rams her head into the steel of the turnbuckle, jarring her. Eva does it a second time and then a third, before hooking the arm to suplex Kate back into the ring, however, Kate manages to land on her feet behind Eva. Kate goes for a another spinning heel kick, but Eva ducks beneath it. As Kate gets back to her feet she's leveled with a superkick.}
Vasco Dias: Eva is in complete control!
{Kate is slow, but gets to a base following the kick to the jaw, but Eva is on her. She whips Kate into the ropes and then nails her with swinging reverse STO.}
Vasco Dias: The Voodoo Drop!!!
{Eva goes for a pin, this time with an arrogant air to her as she presses her elbow across the bridge of Kate's nose. The referee counts. ...1 ...2 ...Kate kicks out!}
Terri Morasco: Wow, what resilience by Kate Steele!?
{Eva is irate. She grabs the by the shirt collar and pushes him into the corner, screaming at him about the count as she draws the ire of the crowd. Finally she releases the referee and turns around only to be met with a pelee kick as the crowd roars for Kate Steele.}
Vasco Dias: No god dammit, this should be over!
Terri Morasco: Never count Kate Steele out!
{Broussard staggers back to her feet, but is caught with a float over neckbreaker followed by a pin attempt. ...1 ...2 ..Eva kicks out.}
Terri Morasco: Oh, so close.
Vasco Dias: It’s not over yet!
{Eva goes to climb out of the ring again to put distance between her and Kate, but Kate isn't having it. She grabs Eva from behind, holding on to her hair as the crowd cheers in delight. But Eva reaches behind her, grabbing the head of Kate and dropping, crushing the windpipe of Kate on the top rope. Kate drops to the mat holding her throat and gasping. Eva climbs back in the ring ready to pounce, but the referee pushes her back as he tries to check on Kate. Eva moves toward her again, this time moving the referee herself. With the referee's view obscured Eva hits a hard right jab to the windpipe of Kate, farther disabling her. With Kate not able to breath Eva, knowing what needs to be done, locks on an octopus hold.}
Vasco Dias: EVA DESTRUCTION!!!!!
Terri Morasco: This is bad….
{Kate tries to hold on, but unable to breathe she has no choice and taps out. Eva releases the hold after a few extra seconds and Kate collapses. As the bell rings, the referee drops to check on Kate, who is finally catching her breath after her throat was attacked. Meanwhile, Eva goes to the turnbuckle and climbs it while “Apex Predator” plays again. She relishes in the boos of the crowd, blowing them a kiss before hopping off the apron in victory.}----------------------------------------------------------
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Chris King vs Gibber vs Solomon Khan
----------------------------------------------------------
{After the team of Gibberg and Solomon Khan is introduced, the thunderous chords of "Face Everyone and Rise" by Papa Roach race through the arena. The crowd erupts in cheers, but King doesn't come out from the back. After a few tense moments, the music dies down. Both Gibberg and Khan look at one another, unsure what to think. The music starts up again, and the crowd starts to cheer again.}Terri Morasco: Where could Chris King be? This isn't like normal for him.
Vasco Dias: I bet he's hanging his head in shame for how bad he lost last week.
{The music stops once more, with King nowhere to be found. From behind the announce table, Chris King emerges, sliding into the ring with a steel chair. He dives forward, striking Khan behind the knee and knocking the big man to the canvas in pain. Gibberg, seeing his friend collapse, squares up to fight, but catches a Kingmaker package piledriver for his troubles. King slides the chair out of the ring and gets into the referee's face, demanding the bell be rung.}Vasco Dias: This guy just ambushed two people, but for what?
Terri Morasco: Looks like he's turning over a new leaf, whether any of us are ready for it or not!
{The referee looks around, seeing the carnage in the ring. He reluctantly calls for the bell as King covers Gibberg, still out from the Kingmaker.}Terri Morasco: Something's broken inside King, I'm afraid.
Vasco Dias: Maybe he'll just leave this place and never look back!
1.....
2.....
THREE!!!!!
Vasco Dias: I don't like the guy, but this streak may lead to something good from him.
Terri Morasco: I don't know if I like this, but King picks up the win here tonight.
{King's music hits, and the former Invictus Champion stares into the camera with an intensity previously unknown to the Imperial audience. He shakes his head and stalks to the back, leaving his opponents in the ring as the camera fades to black.}----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”Fight For It”
----------------------------------------------------------
{Before the show can continue, “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” hits the speakers in the arena and out comes Fiona McFly with a purpose in mind.}Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Fiona McFly!
Terri Morasco: She can’t be happy with how her match ended last week at Heir To The Throne.
Vasco Dias: Who cares? The Shieldmaiden stays in place another day, and the reign continues.
{Fiona grabs a microphone and walks to the center of the ring, clearly upset.}Fiona McFly: Can Paige do anything by herself? Over and over again her sister is there to help her keep that Shieldmaiden Championship, and this past week was no different. I thought I had the upper hand when Sara got ejected then WHAM the distraction got me and I got kicked in the back of the head. I demand that justice be served here tonight...I WANT A SHIELDMAIDEN REMATCH!
{The crowd pops, supporting the idea. Before Fiona can continue however, “I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross hits the speakers and out comes Crystal Millar, walking down the ramp with a microphone in hand.}Crystal Millar: Whoa there girl, let’s just pump the brakes shall we?
{She climbs the steps and enters the ring.}Crystal Millar: Let’s talk about something positive rather than your losing ways shall we?
{Fiona goes to speak up but Crystal literally puts her hand right in front of her face.}Crystal Millar: I didn’t mean you and me...just me. You see, while you were busy failing at winning the Shieldmaiden from Paige, I was busy beating her sister the next night on a REAL Pay Per View, and not some second rate Network Special.
{OOOOOOOOHHHH from the crowd.}Crystal Millar: I proved that I’m better than one Garcia, now it’s time to take the title off of the other...just a few more checks off my list. I deserve a Shieldmaiden shot and you need to get to the back of the line sister.
{The two start arguing when “Wild Frontier” hits the speakers and out comes Pandora Freeman.}Pandora Freeman: You two crack me up...seriously. You get shot after shot at titles, and here you are demanding yet another. It’s time for a change here in the IWF Diamonds Division, and it’s out with the old…
{She points to the ring.}Pandora Freeman: And in with the new.
{She points to herself.}Pandora Freeman: Now that I’m accustom to my surroundings, it’s time to claim what’s mine, and that’s a shot at the Shieldmaiden Championship.
{She enters the ring and the three women start arguing with bits and pieces being caught on their microphones when “Over You” plays on the speakers and the Garcia Twins step out onto the stage, both laughing audibly into the microphone.}Paige Garcia: Can you believe these three Sara? I mean, it’s nice to be wanted, but this is just ridiculous. Not a single one of you is worthy of challenging for this.
{She holds the title high overhead.}Paige Garcia: This is a symbol of excellence. This is a symbol of progress...progress that none of you have made; progress that I’ve made that the three of you can only dream to come close to. That said...your requests...all of them....they’re denied.
{Paige goes to walk off when Sara catches her by the shoulder and whispers into her ear. Paige contemplates what was said and nods.}Paige Garcia: That’s a great idea.
{She turns to the women in the ring.}Paige Garcia: You see, the three of you are in a Triple Threat Match next week for Open Fight Night, while I defend my title against a deserving contender like Eva Broussard. So...if you all want me so badly...FIGHT FOR IT!
{She points to the ring.}Paige Garcia: Next week’s Triple Threat at Open Fight Night will determine who I defend my Shieldmaiden Title against at Extreme Endurance...and trust me...I’ll be the longest reigning Shieldmaiden of all time by then.
{“Over You” plays again as Sara and Paige turn their backs to the women in the ring, Paige holding the Shieldmaiden Title overhead again as the walk through the curtain leaving the “contenders” staring down one another.}----------------------------------------------------------
IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERSHIP

Each week these competitors will go toe to toe, with the man being pinned getting eliminated until there is two left standing who will fight for the number one contendership at Extreme Endurance.
Mike Phoenix vs Wallace vs Kyle Mason vs The Freakke vs Teddy Steele
----------------------------------------------------------
{The match saw many twists and turns with each competitor looking like they were going to take the victory, but in the end it was Mike Phoenix scoring the victory over Teddy Steele, and taking the first show on the Road to Extreme Endurance.}----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Falcon vs Ryan Shane
----------------------------------------------------------
{ “Victim" by Eighteen Visions begins to play throughout the arena. The entrance ramp is dimly lit as the figure of Ryan Shane makes his way out from behind the curtain. Pyro goes off as Shane makes his way to the ring as the fans erupt in a mixture if cheers and boos. As he gets to the ring he hops onto the apron and enters. Once in the ring and then stands he raises his hands high to the continued mixed reaction of the crowd. }{ The low drawl of Eve to Adam's Immortal starts. After a few seconds, it kicks into the full sound, and the man known simply as Falon exited the curtain. Jane, the handler, in tow, and the pair walk to the ring. Falcon climbs in, immediately heading to a corner and sitting down, leaning against the turnbuckle, arms draped over the second rope. Jane makes her way to a special front row ringside seat. The song slowly fades away, and once the bell rings Falcon grabs the rope and hauls himself up to stand, ready to fight. }Terri Morasco: Ryan Shane makes his return to IWF tonight in a match against the Immortal, FALCON!
Vasco Dias: Great, a guy who couldn’t cut it as Man of Steel Champion versus a guy who couldn’t cut it in IWF period.
Terri Morasco: Say what you want but Ryan Shane was on an epic roll before losing the MOS title and Falcon is the ultimate underdog, he can win any match on any night at any time.
{ The two men stand across the ring from each other as the referee calls for the bell. Falcon dances out of his corner but Shane instead moves in close to Falcon and looks for the tie up. He forces Falcon backward into the corner and the referee starts his count as Falcon releases. Shane steps back and Falcon looks to fire off a shin kick but Ryan catches it and turns it into a dragon screw! }Terri Morasco: Beautiful reversal by Shane!
Vasco Dias: It was ok.
{ Falcon is right up but so is Shane and he catches him with a charging lariat! Ryan grabs the Immortal one and pulls him up to his feet. He whips Falcon hard into the ropes but Falcon leaps and spring boards off the ropes and comes back with a cross body on Ryan. Falcon is right up and Shane is not far behind but Falcon connects with several hard shin kicks to the side of Ryan Shane. Shane falls backward and grabs the ropes. Falcon backs off at the referee’s orders. Ryan explodes off the ropes with a running knee lift to Falcon and then throws him backwards onto his back by the head. Ryan bounces off the ropes and comes back with a knee drop on the head of Falcon and then moves into an aggressive pin attempt. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Ryan nearly took the match there!
Vasco Dias: If he wants to get anywhere near JFK he needs to win every match he’s in!
Terri Morasco: Very true.
{ Both men get back to their feet rather quickly and Ryan comes at Falcon hard who ducks the clothes line attempt and spring boards off the ropes and grabs Ryan Shane with a tornado ddt! Falcon nips up to a pop from the crowd as Ryan Shane is starting to look frustrated. Shane pushes himself up and Falcon charges at him, Ryan ducks the leg lariat but Falcon recovers and spring boards off the ropes but this time Ryan Shane catches him in mid air with a drop kick! }Vasco Dias: What a drop kick counter!
Terri Morasco: There’s a reason Ryan Shane is one of the best man of steel champions we’ve ever had!
{ Ryan Shane is back to his feet and he’s starting to feel that confidence return as Falcon is slow to stand. Shane is on him with another running knee lift and then connects with the double underhook suplex. Falcon tries to get up but Shane is on him with the Southpaw shuffle combo that staggers Falcon and then Shane pulls him in for the Right Now-thern Lights suplex! Falcon is down and Shane heads to the ropes. He climbs up and looks for the Muru Splash but FALCON MOVES!!! }Vasco Dias: CRASH AND BURN!
Terri Morasco: Shane went high risk and it didn’t pay off!
{ Shane gets up as fast as he can and charges Falcon but the Immortal one catches him with a Mike Rotundo hip toss right into the turn buckles! Ryan starts to get up but Falcon fires off the PELE KICK!!! Shane is slumped in the corner and Falcon runs across the ring, he bounces off the turn buckles and comes running back but Shane explodes out of the corner with a huge lariat that sends Falcon head over heels!!! }Vasco Dias: Shane isn’t going down with a fight!
Terri Morasco: He needs to keep Falcon off his feet to win!
{ Shane locks his sights on Falcon who is slow to get up and charges in looking for the Shaning Wizard but Falcon spots it and hits a float over neckbreaker!!! Shane is down for the moment but gets back to his feet quickly as Falcon catches him with an enzugiri and then pulls him in for the AERIAL SPIKE!!! Shane is down and Falcon covers him. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Terri Morasco: Falcon just picked up a big win against the former Man of Steel Champion!
Vasco Dias: Not bad but still not impressed.
{ Falcon has his hand raised as his music plays. }----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”The one true champion.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{The set up is a studio room, more than likely at IWF headquarters. At the forefront of the room is small mahogany table. Behind the table is a brown sofa, nothing extravagant, but nothing cheap either. Seated on that sofa is none other than the newly crowned Invictus Champion, Noah Field. Noah has on an elegant and insanely expensive dark green sports jacket with the Invictus Championship belt draped over his right shoulder. He has on matching dress pants and beneath the jacket is a gold button up dress shirt. Seated next to Noah is a man looking in his fifties, wearing more of a standard gray and white suit in contrast to Noah’s more vibrant colors on his suit. The man’s look is rather unassuming, though he does carry a certain something in the way he holds himself.} {Just to the side of the sofa is a matching chair where Willy Carter is seated with a few index cards in his head as we see what is a previously recorded segment.}Willy Carter: I’m here with Noah Field, the newly crowned Invictus Champion...and with him is...I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name.
Noah Field: This is Stan Kane, one of my attorney’s from Killian, Kane, and Kearns Law Firm.
Willy Carter: And why did you bring your lawyer with you to a sit down interview?
Noah Field: Because I have certain legal matters that are pending right now I can’t go into, so KKK has came to advice me of what I can and can’t say without compromising my case.
Willy Carter: KKK?
Noah Field: Yeah, Killian, Kane, and Kearns...KKK. It’s much easier than that mouthful.
{Willy just shakes his head and moves on.}Willy Carter: This past week you pinned Zasshu….
{Noah holds up his hand and then leans over and confers with his lawyers and then turns back to Willy.}Noah Field: I can’t answer that question.
Willy Carter: I didn’t even finish the question.
Noah Field: Doesn’t matter. You’ll have to rephrase the question.
{Willy lets out an audible sigh.}Willy Carter: This past week at Heir to the Throne you won a three way match to become the new Invictus Champion…
{Noah interrupts.}Noah Field: And to answer your question…
Willy Carter: I didn’t finish my question.
Noah Field: Doesn’t matter, I know where this is going. It feels great to win my first championship. The first of many. And now I’m the talk of the fed. Who cares that Cable Arcane won the Imperial Championship, or that JFK won the Superman Championship, the real news, the real history, was I officially became the Invictus Championship. I just made this belt the most important title in IWF.
Willy Carter: That wasn’t my question. Actually I wanted to talk about the controversial matter in which you won the belt.
{Noah looks confused.}Noah Field: Controversial manner?
Willy Carter: When you pinned Zasshu…
{Noah holds up a finger and confers with his lawyer and then turns back to Willy.}Noah Field: I’ve been advised not to answer your next question by my attorney.
Willy Carter: How do I get get the answers I need if I can’t even ask the questions I need to ask?
Noah Field: I’m not saying you can’t ask it, you just need to...rephrase...your questions.
{Willy lets out a sigh of frustration.}Willy Carter: When you one won the belt, you pinned one of your opponents by holding the tights, so many are questioning the legitimacy of your title reign.
{Noah leans over again and converses with Stan Kane before turning his attention back to Willy.}Noah Field: We’ll allow it, but tread lightly. But to answer your question, does it really matter how I won the match? What matters is I won. My reign is and will be as legitimate as you’ve ever seen. Don’t you realize you are looking at an undefeated champion? Can anyone else say that? JFK? Cable Arcane? Either one of our women that hold belts?
Willy Carter: Undefeated? Didn’t you lose a three way match to Nighthawk and Dre Cutler?
Noah Field: I was forced to fight that match under the duress of injury, so I had my legal team strike that match from my record. By all rights I should have sued IWF for negligence, but instead I took the high route.
Willy Carter: An injury? Nothing ever came out in any reports of any injury.
Noah Field: Of course not, because they want to hide the truth.
Willy Carter: They? Who is they?
Noah Field: You know, they. The same “they” that failed to put The Crown Prince in Heir to the Throne. I mean if anyone was deserving of that then it’s me. The same “they” that refuses to put me in the main event when I’m already their biggest star. The “they” who cancelled my in-ring coronation so they could give it to Cable Arcane, and rather ordered me to do this interview instead. The same “they” that continues to hold me back. So it’s “they”.
{Willy rolls his eyes as he tries to maintain his professionalism.}Willy Carter: So what was this injury?
Noah Field: I had nicked myself shaving that morning and had a horrific blemish on this perfect skin. I was both physically and mentally unable to compete due to this terrible accident. But let’s move on.
{Noah reaches inside his coat pocket and pulls out an index card of his own and passes it off to Willy.}Noah Field: There’s your next question.
{Willy glances at the card and looks puzzled.}Willy Carter: Really, this is fluff? I’m not asking this question.
Noah Field: It’s a good question.
Willy Carter: It’s…
{Again Noah holds his finger up and then leans over to confer with his lawyer. After some back and forth Noah once again turns back to Willy.}Noah Field: Tell you what, I’ve conferred with my lawyer. If you ask that question, I’ll allow you ONE question that I will answer no matter what.
Willy Carter: Fine…
{now reading from the card} Now that you are newly crowned Invictus Champion, and perhaps the most deserving and greatest champion we’ve seen hold that belt, what are you goals and aspirations as the champion?
Noah Field: Now that, that’s the first good question you’ve asked. As the greatest Invictus Champion ever to grace this company I plan to make this belt the most prestigious title in IWF. See, you can claim that the Imperial Championship is the belt to have, you can say whatever you want about the Superman belt as well, but it’s not the belt, it’s the champion. I’m the better talent, I’m more marketable, I got the better look, better skills, better athleticism, more charisma. I’m everything a champion should be and all pale in comparison to me. That alone makes me the true champion of this company. With me as champion I’ll usher in a new future and I’ll shift the landscape of this company. As the “True Champion” of IWF this Invictus Championship will become the belt that people care about, leaving all the others behind. And that, is the future of IWF.
Willy Carter: That’s all fine and dandy, but, and you have to answer this. I think Zasshu might have something to say about this, however, he’s already called you out on twitter for a rematch and you denied him, so what do you have to say about that?
Noah Field: No…
Willy Carter: No? No’s not an answer.
Noah Field: I never said I’d answer it to your liking, but fine, since I’m a benevolent champion, and Noah does giveth and taketh away, I’ll giveth this time. There's actually two legitimate answers. The first is he simply doesn't deserve it. He lost the belt to King, he lost his rematch at Heir to the Throne. He goes to the back of the line. Part of a prestigious belt is that you just don't hand out title opportunity to everyone who asks for one. It has to be earned. Right now Zasshu has done nothing to earn another title shot.
Willy Carter: And the second reason?
Noah Field: That's more of a legal matter. By the time this airs it may already be clear, maybe it won't. But either way, I can't legally disclose the reason until further notice.
Willy Carter: And what about Chris King?
Noah Field: What about him?
Willy Carter: He has a claim to a rematch as well.
Noah Field: He has no such thing. I've climbed in the ring with King three times and three times now I've beaten him. How does that constitute a rematch? He's a loser. Losers don't get repeated title shots. His days of riding my coattails to stardom are long done…
{Just then, Chris King bursts onto the set, tackling Noah out of his chair and driving ferocious fists into the Invictus Champion’s face. As the champ covers up, King becomes even more frantic in his assault. Security quickly pours into the room, pulling King away from Field.}Noah Field: Get him out of here! He’s ruining my moment! This is MY TIME!!!
{King says nothing; he simply smirks and stares a hole through Noah’s forehead as security carries him away. Noah rubs his jaw and takes a small mirror out of his pocket, examining his face.}Noah Field: Why do these Neanderthals keep going for my face?!?
Willy Carter: Well, I guess this interview’s over.
Noah Field: Really? You think??? Do you ALWAYS have such lax security for interviews? Because if you do, this is the LAST one you’ll ever get from me! As for that… thing… that attacked me. I’ll take him down once more at Extreme Endurance, and send him back to the bingo halls where he belongs.
Willy Carter: Wait… are you agreeing to a rematch?
Noah Field: He obviously wants his rematch and he doesn’t stand a chance anyway. What’s one more victory under my belt? Beating Chris King has become my own personal pastime.
{The image fades to black as Noah continues to check his face in the mirror.}----------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Renegade Rednecks Vs Johnny Gillmen & T.K. Smiles
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, and we have some great tag team action up next.
Terri Morasco: That’s right, we have the unlikely teaming of T.K. Smiles and Johnny Gillmen, against the much talked about debuting team of the Renegade Rednecks!
{We come back from commercial as the sounds of DJ Khaleed’s “All I do is Win” starts to fade out. On one side of the ring the newest outfit in IWF, the Redneck Renegades prepare for the match, whilst on the other T.K. Smiles seems more focused on Johnny Gillmen. The bell rings, and Chris is in first for the Renegades. Smiles, steps through the ropes and gestures for Gillmen to proceed. Chris doesn’t care, however, and comes storming across the ring, nailing a huge splash to Johnny, in his own corner. Smiles raises his hands, to show the referee he isn’t interfereing, before Chris shifts his weight and whips Gillmen off the ropes, on the return he hits a sweet dropkick taking Gillmen down.}Vasco Dias: T.K. is such a weird guy, right?
Terri Morasco: You can say that again. This teaming doesn’t make much sense, but they better be in the same page against a formidable team like the Rednecks.
{Chris bounces right to his feet, and grabs the arm of Gillmen, wrenching it, and draging him towards his corner, before reaching and tagging in his brother Will. Will grabs the ropes and slingshots himself over into a huge elbow drop to Johnny Gillmen. Will doesn’t move and goes for an early cover, but Johnny kicks out before the referee can even get to one. Will gets back to his feet, and goes to grab Gillmen, but he rolls underneath him and jumps to tag in T.K. Smiles.}Vasco Dias: Effective tag team work from the brothers, but Johnny managed to get the hell out of dodge and bring Smiles into the match for the first time.
Terri Morasco: And he doesn’t look too happy about it.
{Smiles doesn’t know what to do. He’s a little stunned by the events playing out, but slowly enters the ring, cocking his head at Johnny, and then at Will. The two of them lock up, and Smiles slips behind Will, wrenching his arm but Will uses his strength to force them both into the ropes, and forces Smiles to push him off the ropes. As he hits the opposite ropes Chris slaps his back to tag him in, and jumps right over the ropes, charging right after his brother. TK swings for Will, but he ducks underneath him and hooks him in a waistlock, as Chris tears towards them and clotheslines TK Smiles into a German Suplex!}Vasco Dias: Holy! ...Damn! What an amazing sequence there by the Renegade Rednecks!
Terri Morasco: They really do know each other so well. They don’t have to communicate, they just know what the other has planned!
{The crowd are going nuts for the hottest tag team in the game right now, and they milk the reactions a little, before the referee forces Will to leave the ring. As the ref is doing this, Chris bends down to grab TK, but Smiles pokes him right in the eye. Whilst Chris is momentarily distracted T.K. Smiles gets to his feet, and “tags” Johnny Gillmen in, by slapping him right on the chest! The crowd “oooh” as Gillmen looks pretty pissed, before climbing into the ring. Chris is finished checking his eye, and has a slight snarl on his face as he locks up with Johnny. Gillmen, slips around and takes him down with a snapmare, but doesn’t release the hold, instead locks in a sleeper.}Terri Morasco: Certainly doesn’t seem like Smiles and Gillmen are getting on here.
Vasco Dias: Which is why Gillmen is trying to wrestle smart. If you can;t trust the man on the apron, who can you?
Terri Morasco: Gillmen has been very vocal about his trust issues as of late, and has taken to speaking out about Mr Verona quite a lot too.
Vasco Dias: Dude is signing his own death warrant!
{As Gillmen wrenches the hold, Will begins to slap the turnbuckle, trying to will his brother back to life. Chris seems to be fading, and Gillmen is screaming for the ref to “check him” The referee comes in and lifts up Chris’ arm, and it falls…..he lifts it up again, and it falls once more….he lifts it up a third and it ALMOST falls. He stops halfway, clenching his fist. He shakes his arm, and Gillmen shakes his head in disbelief. Chris begins to make it back to his feet, he elbows Johnny once….twice...three times! Eventually forcing Gillmen to break the hold, and out of nowhere he hits a pele kick! Both men are down in the middle of the ring!}Terri Morasco: What a comeback!
Vasco Dias: Who’s gonna make the tag first!?
{As Chris crawls towards his brother Will, Johnny is doing everything he can to make it to his own corner. As you’d expect, they both manage to reach their partners at the same time, and there’s a huge pop from the crowd as Will comes charging towards T.K. Smiles….but, T.K. drops to the matt and rolls out of the ring!?}Vasco Dias: What the!?
Terri Morasco: Where the hell is he going?
{Smiles walks backwards, never taking his eyes of Gillmen, towards the ramp. Both Chris and Will are shouting at him “what the hell?” and asking the ref too. T.K. literally beams a smile at Johnny Gillmen, and raises both hands, rubbing his fingers together in the universal “money, money, money” motion. The referee has begun his ten count, but Smiles doesn’t care, as he walks off backstage. Will and Chris shrug their shoulders and are just about to celebrate, when Johnny Gillmen gets in theirs face, demanding they fight him. The referee calls for the bell, as he’s reached his ten. The two brothers look at each other and nod, before they take Gillmen down with a powerful looking double STO, as “All I do is Win” begins to play over the system.}Terri Morasco: Was he paid off!? Is that what he was saying? Who the hell would do that to Johnny…..wait, do you think it was Roberto!?
Vasco Dias: I don’t know Terri, I don’t even want to try and get into the mind of T.K. Smiles, all I know is WIN!!!! The Renegade Rednecks pick up their victory in their first match in IWF, and the hype train is most certainly, rolling now!
----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”The Best in the World.”
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Last week history was made as we crowned our new Imperial Champion as well as the 2016 Heir to the Throne winner, that man-
Vasco Dias: Is THE BEST IN THE WORLD! CABLE ARCANE!!!
Terri Morasco: Cable Arcane is your new Imperial Champion. Last Saturday he took on Dre Cutler in the Heir to the Throne finals on the net work special. He and Dre went back and forth for nearly twenty minutes before Cable was able to put him away.
Vasco Dias: It was a fantastic match and allow me to point out that Cable Arcane, despite being the obvious center piece of the House of Howlett, defeated Dre completely on his own.
Terri Morasco: It would seem he’s just about the only honorable member of the group.
Vasco Dias: The following night in the main event of Legacy, Cable Arcane stepped into the ring with that nitwit Jayson Matthews and completely dominated him!
Terri Morasco: Jayson showed glimpses of greatness but in the end it was Cable who came out on top and walked away the new Imperial Champion.
Vasco Dias: As if there was ever any doubt about who was going to win the Imperial Champion.
Terri Morasco: For you, there wasn’t. Tonight, in fact, next we are going to hear from the Imperial Champion for the first time since Legacy.
Vasco Dias: I can’t wait!
{ We cut away to a video package cut to the tune of “Human” by Hellyeah. As the somber opening we see clips of Cable Arcane from three years ago on his way to the ring for the first Heir to the Throne finals, standing in the ring waiting for him is Joe Everyman. The two men meet in the center of the ring, cut to Cable hitting a running knee to the face, Joe later countering with a Twist of Fate. As the songs opening draws to a close we see Joe Everyman pinning Cable Arcane and holding the Imperial Championship up over his head. “Human” kicks into high gear and the footage fast forwards three years to Cable Arcane returning to the IWF. We see highlights of his matches with Nighthawk, Adam Knite, Dre Cutler and then finally with Jayson Matthews himself. Each clip ending with the Made to Suffer. }“I defy your defiance
It’s all lies, an alliance
I’ve been damaged, left in ruin
Cause I’m broken, flawed and human”
{ From several angles we see Cable crushing Jayson Matthews with the Made to Suffer, then the pin fall before the end of the match. Each moment set perfectly to the tune of the song until we culminate with Cable Arance holding the Imperial Championship high over his head… }Terri Morasco: It took three years to get to that moment but he made it and no one can ever take it away from him.
Vasco Dias: I’d like to see them try.
{ “Looking Down the Barrel of Today” by Hatebreed hits the pa to a mix of cheers and boos as the lights start to strobe in the arena. Cable Arcane slowly walks out from behind the curtain in three piece all black suit with the Imperial Championship over his shoulder. He looks around as sections of the crowd start a “You deserve it” chant and the rest of the crowd just boos him. Cable has a small smirk on his face as he starts to head toward the ring, adjusting the title on his shoulder as he goes. Cable reaches the ring and climbs up the steps, swinging his leg through the ropes and climbing in. He stands in the center of the ring as the mixed reaction continues before he swings the belt down into both hands and then holds it high over his head, the “You deserve it” chants gaining some momentum. His music dies down as he looks over to Alison Valance who has entered the ring. }Alison Valance: Introducing at this time, he is your NEW IWF IMPERIAL CHAMPION!!!! CABLE ARCANE!!!!
{ Cable tilts his head back to absorb the mixed reaction from the crowd before being handed a mic from Alison. }Cable Arcane: Last week-
{ The sections of the crowd that are pro Cable are picking up steam now and drowning out everyone else. }Cable Arcane: I deserve it?
{ “YOU DESERVE IT!” }Cable Arcane: YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT I DESERVE IT!!!
{ A majority of the crowd pops for him but his small smile fades. }Cable Arcane: I DESERVE IT AND I DON’T NEED YOU KEYBOARD WARRIORS TELLING ME THAT!!! So either crawl back into your mother’s basement with the walls adorned in pictures of the Diamond’s or shut the hell up and stop trying to hijack MY SHOW!!!
{ The momentary cheers are now fading as Cable looks around rather angrily. }Cable Arcane: I told you when I returned to IWF that I AM THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!! And now I have the Imperial Championship that proves exactly that!
{ He holds his championship up again. }Cable Arcane: I beat the supposed “best” this company has to offer, I marched over the “competition” like they were hardly even there and claimed the IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
{ He puts the championship back on his shoulder before continuing. }Cable Arcane: I beat indy darlings! I beat Kings! I beat GODS! I beat every single person that has stepped into a ring with me and I did it as a man! I didn’t need to pander to you mindless morons! I didn’t need to play up some act, wear face paints or spike covered gear to do it! I did what I did because I am hands down the BEST IN THE WORLD! All those “legends” you people praise as the gods of this business, like Angel Blake, Adam Knite, Jake Conway and Kyle Braddock! They are nothing compared to me!
{ The mention of “Falcon’s” real name gets the crowd going as a “Falcon” chant breaks out. }Cable Arcane: Oh! Is that the nerve!? Is that the guy I need to verbally tear down to get it through your thick skulls that I don’t want or need your love!? That I don’t give a damn if you think I deserve it because I KNOW I DO!!! Kyle Braddock, the “Immortal” Falcon, the supposed “legend” who pays a woman to speak for him because he’s “tired” of repeating himself. Well would you like to know what I’m tired of? I’m tired of Falcon acting like his way is the only way! There is a reason Falcon wasn’t even a part of the final NCW World Championship match, there is a reason Falcon has never done anything worth remembering in IWF, there is a reason Falcon sat at home for the last two years staring at his the memories on the wall…
{ Cable looks around with a slight smirk. }Cable Arcane: He isn’t that good. He never was. You empty headed idiots look back on his career with rose colored glasses and see his losses as victories, his defeats as triumphs. The most impressive thing Falcon has ever done, the thing that has made him a house hold name long after his legs and back gave out is losing to men like Spike Kane and Angel Blake in some of the bloodiest matches in professional wrestling history. You don’t remember him for putting on clinics inside of the ring, you don’t remember him for dominating the competition, you don’t remember him for being the Best in the World!!!
{ “Shut the fuck up!” }Cable Arcane: I’m the best! You people will remember me for being everything that painted up Olympics gymnast reject wasn’t! You will remember me as the best to ever lace up a pair of boots and call himself the Imperial Champion. But I get it, you cheeto loving pieces of human crap think that wordless warrior is better than me. You probably think he can beat me despite not even being in the final four of the Heir to the Throne. I’m not afraid to back up my words, I’m not a coward so if the wordless warrior wants to slap on some paint and march his ass out here I’d be happy to show you just how outclassed he is against the best!
{ Cable drops the mic to a pop from the crowd and starts to remove his coat. }Terri Morasco: Did you hear that!? Cable is laying out a challenge to Falcon!
Vasco Dias: Looks like Cable wants to take out some of his frustration with the crowd against Falcon.
{ Cable starts to unbutton his shirt but no one is coming out. He marches back and forth across the ring but still nothing. Finally he scoops up the mic again. }Cable Arcane: That’s what I thought! The “Immortal” Falcon doesn’t want to come out here and see how miserably he stakes up against the Imperial Champion! That’s the man you idiots cheer! That’s the man your fingers bleed over as you praise him on message boards! The man too afraid to face the face of IWF’s new era! Keep cheering him, keep cheering the coward, that’s what separates you from me. Once you leave tonight, retreating to whatever sweat stained cave you crawled out of I’ll still be here, tomorrow when you wake up at 8 or 9 o’clock, pop in your eggos, I’ll already have been up for five hours preparing for my next challenge! Because when you’re the Best in the World! There is NO SLEEP! NO REST! NO MERCY!!!!
{ Cable throws the mic down before raising his championship high over his head again as the crowd goes back to booing him to the point that the building seems to shake. }Terri Morasco: Cable sending a clear message to IWF, come and get me.
Vasco Dias: They can try but this guy is unstoppable.
Terri Morasco: You have to wonder if his words towards Falcon with get the Immortal One’s attention.
Vasco Dias: I doubt it, that painted up loser doesn’t want to get embarrassed by the best in the world.
----------------------------------------------------------
MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH
Shea O’Hara & Dre Cutler vs Sara Garcia & Spike Kane
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Mixed Tag Team Match. Introducing first…
{The lights go out before the tron flickers to life with a flick of orange hair, before “Brick by Boring Brick” by Paramore blasts out of the PA with orange and green lights flashing wildly. Shea O’Hara barges through the curtain before standing in the middle of the stage. She lowers herself, almost squatting, before thrusting her arms into the air with the “devil horns” as a small pyro goes off behind her. She then sprints to the ring, sliding under the ropes and runs to the camera side and leans through the ropes on the second rope throwing up her “devil horns” once again.}Alison Valance: From Cork, Ireland, weighing 135 pounds...SHEA...OOOOO’HARAAAA!
Terri Morasco: This is a big showcase match. Shea and Sara are no strangers, and you have the man who was the runner up in the Heir to the Throne against a Hall of Famer in Spike Kane.
Vasco Dias: This is why the IWF is the premier organization in professional wrestling Terri.
Alison Valance: And her partner…
{"Die This Way" by Hopsin hits the speaker system. The crowd buzzes in anticipation as the bass from the song rattles through their chests. The curtain brushes aside and Dre Cutler hops onto the stage, squatting down with his elbows on his thighs as he examines the crowd, a smile on his face. He stands up, head bobbing to the music, and kisses index and middle fingers and points them to the heavens above.}Alison Valance: From Montgomery, Alabama, weighing in at 205 pounds...DREEEE CUTLER!!!
{He bounces towards the ring and slides under the bottom rope. He makes his way to a neutral corner and does some quick stretches as he waits for the match to start.}Terri Morasco: He came so close to beating Cable Arcane at Heir to the Throne. He’s been impressive since his debut, adding a refreshing look to things.
Vasco Dias: Close is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades Terri. He didn’t win, and in this business, we’re about results.
Alison Valance: And now...for their opponents…
{“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: Sara’s been on a bit of a losing streak of late against Crystal Millar and looks to turn things around here tonight.
Vasco Dias: I’m confident she will. If not by herself, then by the fact she’s teaming with a bonafide Hall of Famer.
Alison Valance: And now...her tag team partner…
{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.}{The bell rings and the men step to the outside as the women are the ones to start this contest. Shea gets some last minute instructions from Dre as Sara waits for her near center ring. The two get there and tie up in the center of the ring, both wrenching and pulling at one another, neither getting a clear cut advantage, breaking it off back in the center of the ring.}Terri Morasco: Neither getting a clear cut advantage there.
Vasco Dias: And look at Sara run down Shea.
{As stated, Sara has her finger in the face of the Shea who quickly swats it away, only to have Sara slap her right in the face!}Vasco Dias: OUCH!
{Shea doesn’t take too kindly and charges Sara, taking her to the mat with a double leg takedown, unleashing on the Garcia Twin with right hands as Sara does her best to cover up. Shea then rolls off and waits as Sara gets to her feet, stumbling into the corner. Shea charges in, looking for a Splash in the corner but Sara moves and Shea crashes into the turnbuckle. Sara turns, and rolls her up out of the corner, only getting a two count, but as the two get up Sara lunges forward with a Clothesline!}Terri Morasco: And just like that, the tide turns.
Vasco Dias: Of course it did...did you expect anything less?
{Sara grabs hold of Shea by the hair and pulls her to her feet, lifting the Irish Bombshell up and dropping her back first across the knee with a Backbreaker. Shea cries out in pain as Sara stands to her feet and elicits boos from the crowd as she poses, Paige clapping on the outside, Spike staring from the apron.}Terri Morasco: She’s so sure of herself. It only take a minute for this to turn around.
Vasco Dias: She knows what she’s doing Terri...relax.
{Sara turns and grabs Shea again, but this time Shea fights her off and turns for her partner, only to have Sara grab her by the hair and slam her down to the mat, reaching out and tagging in Spike Kane. Spike enters the ring and stares down at Shea, looking disappointed, shaking his head, stalking the young woman as she slowly scoots back toward her corner. Spike smiles as he grabs her by the hair as the referee admonishes him, but Dre Cutler leaps up onto the top rope and Springboards into Spike with a Springboard Clothesline taking the Hall of Famer down!}Terri Morasco: Way to make an entrance.
Vasco Dias: What a sucker shot!
Terri Morasco: Who knows what Spike would have done if Dre didn’t interfere.
{Dre stays mounted on Spike, swinging away with multiple shots before Spike is able to shove him off, rolling to the outside of the ring. Dre is quick to the other side and goes to fly through the ropes with a Suicide Dive but Spike leaps up and hits him right in the face with a HUGE forearm!}Vasco Dias: What a shot by Spike Kane!
Terri Morasco: Talk about squashing the momentum…
{Spike climbs up on the apron and waits for Dre to get to his feet before leaping up onto the top rope himself and hitting Dre with a Springboard Forearm to the face!
He hooks the leg…
1!
2!!
NO! Dre gets his shoulder off the mat.}Terri Morasco: Dre showing that fighting spirit again!
Vasco Dias: He can fight all he wants, but eventually, he’s going to be put down.
{Spike pulls Dre to his feet and throws him into the ropes, and as Dre rebounds, Spike lifts him, spins him through the air, and drops him down with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker! Spike claps his hands together arrogantly before hooking the leg again, but again only getting a two count. Spike looks down at the newcomer and shakes his head.}Terri Morasco: Seems like Spike thought this was going to be a walk in the park.
Vasco Dias: I’m sure that’s not what he thought. He’s been around this business long enough to know better.
{Spike grabs hold of Dre by the neck and pulls him to his feet but Dre breaks the grip, throwing his hands in the air before hitting Spike in the face a few times with a forearm, rocking the Hall of Famer back into the ropes before sending Spike across the ring, following him. Spike stops in the center of the ring, turning around as Dre flies through the air with a Crossbody block, rolling off, and as Spike gets to his knees, Dre kicks him right in the face!}Terri Morasco: What a shot right to the face of Spike Kane!
Vasco Dias: That’ll leave a mark!
{Dre goes for the cover, but Spike kicks out at two. Dre pulls Spike up by the head and twists him into a Neckbreaker, but Spike breaks free and spins the newcomer, kicking him in the stomach and going for the THUNDERSTRUCK...NOOOOOO Dre pushes Spike into his corner where Sara tags him on the shoulder. Dre comes in and nails Spike with a running Forearm when "Looking down the barrel of Today" by Hatebreed hits the speakers. Dre snaps around toward the stage as the House of Howlett walk out onto the stage with Cable holding the Imperial Title high in the air. The distraction allows Sara to run across the ring, grabbing Shea who stepped in as she saw Sara make the tag, but was then distracted by the Arcane theme music, lifting Shea onto her shoulders, walking to the center of the ring before dropping to her knees with the “All About Me”.
The referee drops down and makes the count as Dre hasn’t taken his eyes off of the House of Howlett.
1!
2!!
Dre snaps out and goes to break up the pin but Spike blasts him from behind, knocking him out of the ring and at the feet of Cable Arcane on the outside.
3!!!
The bell rings as the crowd boos.}Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of this match...the team of Sara Garcia...and SPIKE...KANE!
{“Over You” plays as the Garcias exit the ring leaving Cable staring down at Dre with the title held high, a smile on his face as "Looking down the barrel of Today" by Hatebreed hits the speakers and the show fades to black with the IWF logo in the corner.}
Well howdy there pardner.
