IWF SHIELDMAIDEN #1 CONTENDERSHIP
Winner receives an IWF Shieldmaiden opportunity at the next Open Fight Night.
Helena Sawyer vs Sarah Jade Wilson
----------------------------------------------------------
{The thudding bass riff of "From the Pinnacle to the Pit" sounds, deep red lights flashing as Helena Sawyer saunters from the back, a lopsided grin on her face. She idly checks her wrists, running her thumbs over the studs in her gloves as she walks up to the ring apron. Helena eyes the apron for a long moment before grabbing the middle rope and lifting one leg as she hops up onto the apron. Helena looks up at the ceiling, grinning ecstatically, and jumps to her feet, hooking both arms on the top rope and throwing her body back with a piercing scream that turns into a giggle. She kicks herself backwards, flipping over the top rope, and back-rolls into a kneeling crouch, staring at the ramp for a few moments before standing and slinking to a corner. She looks up at the ceiling as the music fades, mouthing frantic words to herself as the lights come back up to normal.}Alison Valance: The following match.. Scheduled for one fall is to determine the number one contender for the IWF Shieldmaiden Championship!…Introducing first standing at 5’7” weighing in at 151 pounds from Amityville, New York The Daughter of Misery HELENA SAWYER!
Terri Morasco: Helena cannot have been happy with the way things went down last week Sarah laid that three down quick than most people could blink.
Vasco Dias: Honest and fair, yeah right.
{Sarah Jade Wilson walks towards the ring, ignoring the hail of boos that rains down on her from the crowd.}
Alison Valance:, from San Francisco, California, weighing in at 124 pounds, Sarah Jade Wilson!
{Sarah gets as far as the apron before Helena Charges at her to grab her and pull her in with a flurry of strikes , Sarah momentarily caught off guard fires back and the ref gets the match underway as Helena works Wilson to the ropes Sarah takes a moment to duck her head between them forcing the ref to break the two up, and Helena about trying to pull the Ref out the way as she walks into a European upper cut which gets Helena smiling gesturing Sarah to bring it}.
Terri Morasco: Sawyer is a ball of anger right now but that might play into Sarah’s hands!
Vasco Dias: Well somebody has to , I don’t want her hands anywhere near me.
Terri Morasco: will you do your job and focus on the match?
Vasco Dias: You first Terri.
{Sarah takes a moment stares at Helena and then rolls out of the ring, quickly followed by Sawyer who gives chase around the ring, Sara rolls in and as Helena follows Sarah drops a knee on the back of her neck and starts to stomp away.}
Terri Morasco: Sarah taking a veteran’s shortcut!
Vasco Dias: I hate to admit it..but that was smart. I hope Helena kicks her teeth in…but it was smart.
{Sarah Sets Helena up for the #Hashslam and as Helena is lifted she kicks Sarah just above the knee and as Sarah lurches forwards a bit to steady herself she slams her head back to break the hold before locking her hands about Sarah’s head in Cravate hold to lay in a frenzy of knee strikes before letting Sarah go with a quick neckbreaker to let out a scream of frustration. Or perhaps delight and pump up the crowd.}
Terri Morasco: Here we go .. We’ve Seen Helena like this time ag ain she’s got that look in her eye!
Vasco Dias: She’s eying Wilson like a rib eye steak! It’s glorious!
{Helena picks up Sarah who pushes over Helena’s shoulder to push Helena away, Helena turns around into a INT-HER-SECTIONALITY Sarah Quickly capitalises by attempting a Pin.}

Sarah bounces onto her back from the impact as Helena shakes loose the cobwebs both participants.}

----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”Only The Beginning”
----------------------------------------------------------
{The scene cuts into a dimly lit back room of the Consol Energy Arena. There are candles lining an altar of sorts, a parchment lying in front. The camera pans back to reveal inx swaying in the corner, white straight jacket and ring gear on. Her face is obscured by her white carnival mask, only her black lips can be seen.}Jinx: Fiona, my child, I told you I had a surprise in store for you. I asked you if something was missing in your life, and I warned you what was coming.
{She slowly pulls the parchment out, unrolling it. Fiona’s “Three Principles” banner unfolds as a twisted smile curves her lips.}Jinx: Tell me, my lovely, how did it feel when you discovered a piece of you missing? Does your heart ache? Is your spirit broken?
{She holds the parchment just above the flame of a black candle, dipping it closer then pulling it away just before it ignites.}Jinx: Oh, what wonderful times we have to look forward to! Tonight, my darling, is only the beginning. This is just the beginning of our dance and I feel sorry for you because I alone, can hear the music.
{She dips the parchment closer, this time the paper warms slightly before she pulls it back again. Her laughter echoes off the walls as she begins to sway, the camera fading to black.}
----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Fiona McFly Vs Jinx (c)
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The entire arena is suddenly tinted blue as "Tubular Bells" starts to play. A long line of "Reapers" dressed in black cloaks with solid black carnival masks start to file out, taking their place at each side of the entrance forming two lines. Then all of the arena suddenly becomes basked in darkness. Static echoes on the public address system. Then a white spotlight appears on the ramp, showing it shrouded in smoke. September Mourning's "Stand by Me" starts to play as a platform with a figure can be seen rising from the ground in the middle of the smoke. A shadow can be seen on a rising platform swaying from side to side in unison with the music. Then the figure balls up and steps down the three step incline, out of the smoke to show they are completely cocooned in a white cloak. Just as the chorus picks up, Jinx drops the cloak and holds her arms straight out as if she were being crucified, palms up, face toward the rafters with a solid white carnival mask on. She stands there motionless throughout the entire chorus. Once the song slows again, Jinx starts to make her way with a slow walk to the ring with the spotlight following her, stopping just as she reaches the apron. Then she slides under the bottom rope and just as the sped up chorus starts again, she jumps to the turnbuckle and rips the mask off as the lights come on. At first she holds her arms out, mask in hand, palms up, her face looking at the sky motionless. Then she again starts to sway with the beat, eventually hopping off the turnbuckle just as the music comes to a close. Finally, she takes a knee and bows her head, almost as if she's deep in prayer or meditation. }
Vasco Dias: Now this Jinx? She's one bad, baaaaaad chica...
Terri Morasco: Probably gonna be one of Fiona's biggest challenges yet!
{ "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys kicks into high gear as Fiona McFly marches out on stage, takes a bow, and heads down to the ring--giving lucky fans quick pecks on the cheek along the way. }[DING!]
{ Fiona starts off the match swinging, firing away with several hard lefts and rights to Jinx's temples, reeling her into the corner before shooting her in; Jinx bounces off the ropes, right into a dropkick from Fiona--followed closely by a second and a third. McFly continues the assault, pulling Jinx up to her feet by the hair before sending her down to the deck with a snap suplex, a second snap suplex, and a third to complete the troika. The Northern Irishwoman lets out a fierce war cry, much to the crowd's delight. }Terri Morasco: Fifi's off to a roaring start!
{ But as Fiona pulls Jinx in for another maneuver, she's instantly greeted by an elbow to the schnozz, stopping the momentum in its tracks.}Vasco Dias: And you were sayin'?
{ The IWF newcomer surprises the year-long vet, firing away with several hard forearm smashes to the head before sending her for the ride; Fiona bounds off the strands, only to be tackled to the canvas and pounded away with rights and lefts. Jinx slowly stands up, cackling with glee as Fiona writhes on the canvas before continuing the push, YANKING the Belfast native to her feet--only to nearly DECAPITATE her with a hard lariat! Fiona rolls around the deck, trying not to lose her composure yet clutching her head. }Terri Morasco: I....I-I-I don't believe this, but Jinx is flat-out DOMINATING here!
Vasco Dias: Fiona's takin' a dive! She's gettin' paid to tank this match!!
Terri Morasco: No she's NOT!!
{ With a sinister smirk on her mug and an evil, almost demonic, laugh, Jinx climbs up to the top buckle and starts walking the top rope. The crowd isn't sure on how to react at this juncture as Jinx flies off, nailing FIona with her seated senton combination she calls the CLIPPED WINGS! The fans are now gasping, realizing that they've never seen Fiona being so easily torn apart--but Jinx doesn't give a shit, pulling her opponent back up by the back of her sports bra and pulling her back toward hte mat with a snapmare, following that up with a dropkick! Jinx hits the ropes, hitting Fiona with a rather slick somerault neckbreaker to complete the hat trick of moves known as... }Vasco Dias: JINXED!!
Terri Morasco: Guys, I...I've never seen Fiona McFly being torn to shreads like this! It's unreal!!
Vasco Dias: I told ya, Fifi's bein' paid to take a dive!
Terri Morasco: WILL YOU SHUT UP!?!
{ Still sporting that occultish, almost Satanic-looking grin, Jinx pulls Fiona into position and PLANTS her with her signature front flip piledriver called the REAPER! Fiona, to her credit, is able to slowly roll outside the ring and onto the floor, prompting Jinx to stand tall, watching over the Belfast native as she ends up on the outside. }Referee: ONE! TWO!!
{ Fiona looks to be out of it in her mind as she rolls around the floor, with Jinx finding herself unable to bring her opponent back into the ring and pinning her, opting instead to get a thrill out of her rival's plight! }Referee: THREE!! FOUR!!
Terri Morasco: What's going on now?!
Vasco Dias: Oh, don't tell me...
Referee: FIVE!! SIX!!
{ McFly manages to pull herself back to both knees, using the safety fence as a guide to assist her, and looks up at the much more inexperienced Jinx! In her very soul, we see that Fiona is VERY infuriated at Jinx's apparent lack of remorse, yet she finds herself unable to get back into the ring and utilize that fury to her advantage! }Referee: SEVEN!! EIGHT!!!
{ On the outside, picked up by a high-definition microphone, we hear Fiona screaming at the top of her lungs "GET OUT OF MY FUCKING MIND!!!" as Jinx looks on, satisfied with her handiwork. }Referee: NINE!!!
Vasco Dias: Wow...Jinx has REALLY gotten into Fiona's mind!
Terri Morasco: This...this isn't good, my friends.
Referee: TEN--THAT'S IT!!!
{ The man in stripes calls for the bell, ending the match. }[DING-DING-DING!!!]{ The zebra quickly gets the hell out of dodge, leaving Jinx to celebrate her countout win. But the fans are left aghast, watching as Fiona is clearly not in her right frame of mind. }Terri Morasco: What...the hell...just happened?
Vasco Dias: I dunno--but I do know that every woman in the Diamonds division oughta take notice. Jinx ain't dinkin' around here!
Terri Morasco: But you gotta wonder, what's up with Fiona? And why didn't Jinx finish her off entirely?! Nothing good came out of this one, that's for sure!
----------------------------------------------------------
IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Mike Phoenix vs Noah Fields
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: “This next contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Invictus Championship.”
{As "War" by Sum 41 hits, a red spotlight and red lights flash across the arena. Mike Phoenix walks out with his head dow. He then raises his head and has a devious grin on his face as he slowly starts to walk down to the ring. He then suddenly takes off running fast and slides feet first under the bottom rope. As he hits in the ring, Mike reaches the ropes and leans over them, throwing up his arms in premature victory. Phoenix is seen pacing around the ring, anxiously awaiting his opponent(s).}Alison Valance: “Introducing first, the challenger, from Miami, Florida and weighing in at 190 pounds….. Mike Phoenix!”
{The lights go black and then the arena is suddenly bathed in gold tinted light. A voice over hits the public address system. “The Crown Prince, The Saviour”. Then as the opening riffs of “A Cut Above” queues up the words “Adidas Presents: Noah Field” flash across the screen. A loud explosion goes off as "A Cut Above" queues up. Noah Field steps into the arena with a smirk on his face and Morgan Kennedy at his side, trailed by Noah's hired muscle, Mark Mercer. Together the three of them march to the ring while Noah takes in the boos of the crowd. As they come to ringside Noah pauses, flips his hair back, making sure it's perfection. Then he climbs up on the apron goes to the turnbuckle where he scales it. Noah opens up his gold and green hooded cloak/jacket to show his bare stomach and chest and starts runs his hands down his chest to his abs and mouths the words "perfection" before hopping off the turnbuckle into the ring, leaning against the ropes.} Alison Valance:
“His opponent, accompanied to ringside by Morgan Kennedy and Mark Mercer, is the reigning and defending Invictus Champion. From Los Angeles, California and weighing in at 224 pounds…. Noah Field!”
Terri Morasco: “And in the first of our title matches, Mike Phoenix takes his shot at being the next man to dethrone the ‘undefeated’ Noah Field for the Invictus championship. The question is this: After dealing with some contractual issues, is Mike Phoenix’s head in the game enough to deal with Noah Field and take the Invictus title?”
Vasco Dias: “That is not the only problem here. Look at what’s going on outside the ring. Mike Phoenix wrestles a style where he leaves his feet a lot of the time, and uses the ropes heavily. In essence, with both Morgan Kennedy and Mark Mercer out here, two sides of that ring are unavailable to him.”
{As the referee rings the bell to start the match Mike Phoenix rushes across the ring and lands a gorgeous corner dropkick before going for the Wings of the Phoenix, causing Noah to roll to the floor and try and catch his breath. But as he stands there, complaining to the referee about being hit in the face, the Miami native rushes to the top turnbuckle and looks to dive off onto Noah only to see Mark Mercer stand in his way and seemingly beckon the veteran to jump down. Hesitating for a minute, seeing the trap sprung in front of him, Mike asks the referee to eject Mark Mercer. But while the Miami native is engaged in an argument with the referee Noah sneaks in the ring out of view and lands a uppercut to the nether regions which the Invictus champion claims was to the inner thigh before hitting a falling reverse DDT. Landing a trio of stomps to the lower abdomen the self-proclaimed “Crown Prince” continues to attack as he has clearly winded his more experienced opponent. Picking up Mike Phoenix Noah sets him up for a short-arm clothesline only to get caught with a knee to the stomach followed by a bodyslam. But as he heads up to the top rope, Noah Field distracts the referee allowing Mark Mercer to sneak onto the ring apron and hit another low blow allowing Noah to capitalize with a falling DDT before covering and getting the 3-count even as he puts his feet on the ropes.} ----------------------------------------------------------
HANDI CAP MATCH
Steve Awesome vs Infamous
----------------------------------------------------------
{ Villain by Theory of a Deadman hits the PA as both Rob Diamond and Spike Kane step through the curtain. The crowd has a mixed reaction for both members of InFamous as the two just over see the arena before heading down the ramp. Spike walks up the steps as Rob rolls in under the ropes. Both men take to a corner of the ring, Rob reaches high up into the air and tells the world to SUCK IT! Spike just glares at the fans. They jump down and wait for the match to start. }Terri Morasco: Honestly this match up is a bastardization of our sport and I don’t understand why management is allowing Laura Howlett to have so much stroke.
Vasco Dias: It’s easy Terri, she’s making the company money. She has a collection of the top athletes in the company, each more valuable than the last. So if she wants to book a handi cap match with her clients then she will and management knows the idiots in the crowd will pay to see it.
Terri Morasco: I still don’t agree with this. Just like I don’t agree with the hell Rob Diamond has been putting Steve Awesome through for the last four months. Steve Awesome defeated Rob Diamond only to find out that Rob controls his contract and it’s been all down hill since.
Vasco Dias: Don’t forget Rob robbed Steve of several months of his career with that pile drive over the apron through a table.
Terri Morasco: Another disgusting deed.
Vasco Dias: I know, I’m really excited to see what Rob and Spike do to him together.
{ All the lights in the arena die out and the fans in attendance start chanting his name. }"AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!"
{ Dramatic Pause. }"REGRETS I'VE GOT MINE............!"
{ All of a sudden "Full of Regrets" comes bursting out of the speakers like a shotgun as Steve Awesome steps out onto the stage. He turns backwards and shows off his vest with a big Steve Awesome graphic on it. Then he peaks his head back and smirks into the camera as pyros blast off on the stage on opposite sides. }Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome is a true fan favorite and this whole situation makes me sick.
Vasco Dias: Imagine how Rob feels having to face someone he’s already beaten?
Terri Morasco: I can’t believe you Vasco. How you can support this I don’t know.
Vasco Dias: How can you support Spike Kane having to wrestle twice tonight?
Terri Morasco: Wrestle twice? This match is going to be a massacre!?
Vasco Dias: As it should be!
{ Rob and Spike are talking to each other in the corner as Steve Awesome looks on, still not entirely happy about this match up. Rob and Spike seem to decide that Rob will start as Spike has a match later tonight. }Vasco Dias: Look at that team work!
Terri Morasco: Yeah, teamwork.
{ The referee calls for the bell as Rob moves out of the corner as Steve does too, the two former friends circling each other. The two move in on each other but Steve gets under Rob and as Rob turns Steve fires off the Jawbreaker Superkick but Rob slips and falls down and pushes himself backward as Steve looks on ready to go. }Vasco Dias: What a dirty move by Steve Awesome!
Terri Morasco: Are you kidding me?
Vasco Dias: Rob wasn’t ready, he was looking for a tie up.
Terri Morasco: It doesn’t matter if he wasn’t ready! This is a wrestling match!
Vasco Dias: Exactly! Not a kicking contest!
{ Steve begs Rob to come on but Diamond pushes himself back to his feet and walks over to Spike Kane to tag him in. }Terri Morasco: Looks like Spike isn’t staying out on the apron for long.
{ Spike nods confidently as he gets into the ring. Steve looks on and shakes his head, he’s still ready. The two men move in but Spike grabs Steve and throws him down hard onto his backside, Steve rolls himself and back to his feet but Spike is right there with a big clothes line on Steve Awesome! Spike yells “COME ON!” Steve gets right back to his feet and Spike goes for a kick but Steve grabs it and connects with a swinging heel kick to the face of Spike! }Vasco Dias: Again with the dirty tactics!
Terri Morasco: He’s wrestling!
Vasco Dias: He’s kicking!
{ Steve nips up and Spike is up as well but Steve is right there with a leaping forearm to the face of Spike Kane! Steve pushes him into the ropes and whips him across the ring, Spike bounces off the ropes and drops his shoulder but Spike connects with a kick to the chest of Steve Awesome and Rob comes in from behind with a chop block to the back of Steve’s legs! }Vasco Dias: There we go! Team work baby!
Terri Morasco: Are you kidding me!
Vasco Dias: Infamous was the longest reigning tag team champions we ever had, still undefeated for the belts technically!
Terri Morasco: And you support their cheating!?
Vasco Dias: I support them winning!
{ Rob and Spike are both right on Steve with hard stomps as he lays on the mat trying to protect himself. The referee moves in and backs Rob off and sends him back out to the apron. Spike rips Steve back up to his feet and throws him into the ropes but follows him right in with the Bloody Sunday kick which sends Steve spilling out over the top rope and onto the apron and then onto the arena floor. }Vasco Dias: The god of xtreme strikes!
{ Spike jumps out of the ring and Rob is right there as the two of them mob Steve Awesome on the floor, hitting him with clubbing blows over his back as he tries to get up. The referee is screaming for them to stop as they pull up Steve and throw him together right into the steel steps back first! }Vasco Dias: That’s right! That’s what you get when you mess with the House!
Terri Morasco: This is a massacre and I can’t believe anyone would support this!
{ Rob backs off as the referee starts to warn them. Spike rolls Steve back into the ring and climbs in where he tags in Rob. Steve hoists Steve up onto his shoulders as Rob climbs to the top rope and jumps off with a drop kick right into the chest of Steve Awesome and sends him right down to the canvas! }Vasco Dias: Vintage Infamous!
{ Rob looks for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: WHAT!?
{ Rob screams in Steve’s face to “STAY DOWN!” Rob covers him again. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Is he deaf!?
Terri Morasco: He probably doesn’t want to lose.
Vasco Dias: Too freaking bad!
{ Rob looks mad now as he rips Steve up off the mat and throws him hard into the corner where Spike clubs him over the back, Steve staggers out and Rob hits a big time hip toss! Steve starts to get up but Rob is right there with a running clothes line over the back of his head! }Terri Morasco: This is just a mugging!
Vasco Dias: GOOD! He deserves it!
{ Rob looks back to Spike and then tags him in. The two of them wait for Steve Awesome to stand and then charge him looking for a double clothes line but Steve gets under it and runs to the ropes, he bounces off and comes back at the both of them with a leaping double clothes line! }Terri Morasco: Steve isn’t going down without a fight!
Vasco Dias: Then he’s dumber than I thought! His job is to lose!
Terri Morasco: Technically his job is to win!
Vasco Dias: Not when he works for the House of Howlett!
{ Steve is up and he starts to fire himself up. Rob is up first and Steve hits him with the JAWBREAKER!!! Rob falls back into the corner of the ring. Spike is up and Steve hits him with a JAWBREAKER!!! Spike falls back into Rob. Steve gets a running start and hits a running elbow on both men in the corner, he runs out and then comes back in with another running elbow. Steve grabs Spike and scoop slams him out of the corner, he grabs Rob and scoop slams him on top of Spike. Steve climbs the ropes as the crowd roars and then comes off the top with a double elbow drop on the both of them! Steve is up, he runs to the ropes and bounces off and comes back with a senton splash! The crowd is hot now as Steve gets up and struts into the ropes, bounces off and comes back with a cocky strut before dropping another elbow on the two of them. He covers Rob on top of Spike as the referee counts. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!!! }Vasco Dias: Not even close!!!
Terri Morasco: That was still and impressive come back!!
Vasco Dias: Not in my mind!
{ Steve gets up, he pulls Rob up and runs him to the ropes and throws him over the top, Rob lands on the apron and Spike is back to his feet. Steve gets a short bounce and comes at Spike full steam but Spike drops the Jawbreaker attempt and connects with a Pele kick! Steve staggers and Rob climbs back into the ring as Rob and Spike take off and hit Steve with a big double spear!!! }Vasco Dias: SPEAR!!!!
Terri Morasco: Again resorting to underhanded tactics to take back control of the match!
Vasco Dias: A win is a win, Terri!
Terri Morasco: Apparently in the House of Howlett it is.
{ Rob rolls out of the ring as Spike covers Steve. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Steve is refusing to give up!
Vasco Dias: He’s an idiot! He can’t win this match!
Terri Morasco: He can try!
{ Spike laughs as he gets back to his feet. He grabs Steve by the hair and stands him up and then throws him into the ropes and looks for the Pop up Power Bomb but Steve jumps over him and then connects with a JAWBREAKER ON SPIKE! Kane stumbles backward into his corner where Rob tags him in and Rob charges in but Steve is there with an arm drag take down!}Terri Morasco: Steve is on the comeback!
{ Rob is right up and comes at Steve again but Spike is right behind him with a Bloody Sunday Kick and Rob hits Steve with a Spear at the same time, cutting Steve in half in the middle of the ring! }Vasco Dias: YES!!!!

Vasco Dias: WHY!!??
Terri Morasco: Because he’s had enough of this slaughter!!!

The referee doesn’t see it! TWO! Spike charges back into the ring! THREE!!!! }Terri Morasco: YES!!!
{ Steve lets him go and quickly rolls out of the ring before Spike hits him and jumps the barrier into the crowd! }Vasco Dias: WHAT THE HELL!?

SHIELDMAIDEN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Pandora Freeman Vs Crystal Millar (c)
----------------------------------------------------------
{"We all Recognise...That I'm ..the problem here."
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 Pandora, lit up like a Christmas tree by UV.}Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is to determine the IWF Shieldmaiden! Introducing first, from Hope, Michigan, weighing in at 160 pounds, Pandora Freeman!
Terri Morasco: Pandora Freeman has been fighting for recognition, fighting for respect, and tonight she could have a chance to reap the rewards of her hard work.
Vasco Dias: Or she could be blinded by the spotlight and fall. This is a big stage, and a big test for her.
{As light slowly bleed back to the area Pandora dances down to the ring, easily 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 her head and leaves her feet on the ground making quite the arch as she rises up slowly still bouncing to the music as she encourages the crowd to move with her.}Alison Valance: And her opponent...

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.}Alison Valance: Being accompanied by Zelda Knite, residing in Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 115 pounds, she is the IWF Shieldmaiden, the Silver Screen Queen, Crystal Millar!
Terri Morasco: And here's the champ. She went into tonight with a head full of steam. Will it translate into success?
Vasco Dias: When you're that good, you don't need to hope for success, it just happens. Crystal sticks to her game plan, she'll have no trouble here.
{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.}Terri Morasco: No weapons on either woman, referee seems to be prepared, and here we go!
{The bell rings, and both women close with each other. Pandora calls for a test of strength, and Crystal moves as if to oblige, but pulls her hand back to preen. Pandora shakes her head, closing again, and this time Crystal obliges. Pandora, the larger woman, easily wins the leverage battle, snaring an overhead wristlock. She leans into the hold, pressuring the Shieldmaiden downwards, and Crystal lashes out in frustration, catching Pandora with a quick kick to the side of the leg. Pandora's grip is disrupted enough for Crystal to jump up and swing down into a leaping arm drag! Pandora rolls to the side, scrambling to her feet, and Crystal charges. Pandora forwards her into the ropes, and Crystal rebounds, looking for a flying headscissors...but Pandora manages to arrest her momentum, and turns it into a sidewalk slam! Pandora rolls into a quick cover!
ONE!
KICKOUT!}Terri Morasco: Great show of skills from both women there, neither of them seeming to have the early advantage.
Vasco Dias: This early, it's all the feeling-out process. You learn a lot about who your opponent is by how they react when they're fresh.
{Pandora is undeterred, reaching over and snaring Crystal's right arm in an armbar. The Shieldmaiden struggles against the hold, flailing as Pandora leans onto her right shoulder to increase the pressure. She grins, even as Crystal manages to get her feet underneath herself and push off the mat. Crystal walks herself up to a vertical base, but Pandora twists the barred arm around and sends Crystal flying back to the mat with a Russian leg sweep! Pandora rolls through the move and punctuates it with a big knee drop to the shoulder! Pandora double chickenwings Crystal on the mat, rolling her through into an amateur-style pin!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!}Terri Morasco: Excellent display of mat skills there from Pandora Freeman, keeping the Shieldmaiden grounded.
Vasco Dias: Crystal's going to need to get free and explode out of this groundwork if she wants to have any chance of success here.
{Pandora and Crystal make their way to their feet simultaneously, and Pandora charges with a clothesline. Crystal dodges underneath, hitting the ropes and coming off with a springboard crossbody! The crowd, normally not receptive to Crystal's antics, pops for the acrobatic move. Crystal keeps the momentum rolling, snagging Pandora with a snapmare and hitting the ropes to come off with a low dropkick to the face! Crystal grins, rolling to her feet, and cartwheels into a standing moonsault to complete the SMELL THE ROSES! Crystal hooks the leg of her challenger!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT! Crystal pounds the mat angrily, shouting at the ref to count three.}Terri Morasco: Crystal is not happy here, even with that burst of momentum.
Vasco Dias: That was three. Unfortunately, IWF’s referees don’t get vision covered.
{Crystal angrily delivers a swift kick to Pandora’s spine, screaming at her to stay down. She runs the ropes, coming off with a springboard moonsault and hooking the leg again tightly!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Crystal takes a deep breath, forcing her composure back into herself, and grabs Pandora, hurling her into the corner and following up with a brutal leaping forearm! Crystal backs up, charging again, but eats a boot from Pandora. Crystal staggers back, shaking her head, and charges again. Pandora rolls out of the way, and Crystal smashes face-first into the top turnbuckle. Pandora charges as Crystal turns around, backflipping and crashing into Crystal with the LET’S DO IT! Crystal collapses to the mat and Pandora follows her down into a desperate cover!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT! Both women are down, and the crowd applauds their performance.}Vasco Dias: All it takes is one moment to change the direction of a match. Is this that moment?
{Crystal is the first one to make it to her feet, Pandora meeting her a half-second later. Crystal swings a desperation right at Pandora, who deflects it off and leaps, looking for the TANK GIRL knee! Crystal manages to get her hands up and catch the knee, spinning her around and meeting Pandora as she spins around with the FLASHING LIGHTS! Pandora drops like a lead weight, and it’s Crystal’s turn to drop into a desperation cover!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT! Crystal shakes her head, holding her temples, and takes a deep breath, trying to gather herself again.Terri Morasco: Both of these women are throwing bombs, trying to seal the deal!
Vasco Dias: All it takes is that one vicious, knockout shot to seal the deal! Who has it in them tonight?
{Crystal staggers to her feet, breathing deeply and gritting her teeth, and lunges forward as Pandora stands again, delivering a second crushing FLASHING LIGHTS! Crystal falls back into the corner, taking a deep breath, and kneels down, hauling Pandora up by the hair. She hooks her head and leaps, spinning over and spiking Pandora with the THAT’S A WRAP! Crystal rolls into a cover, hooking both legs as she poses across Pandora’s fallen form!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE! Crystal lets go, exhaling slowly and standing as the ref raises her hand.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, and still IWF Shieldmaiden, Crystal Millar!
Terri Morasco: Crystal Millar retains, in a hard-fought contest! Credit to Pandora Freeman, but tonight the champ managed to reign supreme.
Vasco Dias: She put up a good fight, but it wasn’t enough. Two title defenses in the book for Crystal Millar, and another pay-per-view win in the books. Open Fight Night’s still looming, but for tonight the Silver Screen Queen reigns supreme.

EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIER
Kathleen Conway w/ The Ace vs Eternity w/ Laura Howlett
----------------------------------------------------------
{The lights in the arena start to twinkle like yellow diamonds with the melodic holler and drum beat of "Black and Silver" by Xandria
I am amused
You seem to love me
But be reserved
Before you huff me
Kathleen Conway appears on the stage with one hand on her right hip, and the other in the hand of her husband The Ace as he is beside her.
I'm used to winners
I need the fame
And if you touch me
You'd be my shame
She kisses him triggering a burst of flame pyros either side of them as cards fall from the rafters, before the couple continues to walk down to the ramp, hand in hand, Kathy with a smile on her face.
Your childish dreams are all in vain
To me your kind is all the same}Alison Valance: The following contest is an Extinction Event qualifying match! Introducing first, being accompanied by The Ace, residing in Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 123 pounds, Kathleen Conway!
Terri Morasco: Kathy Conway is in for one hell of a fight here tonight, but she’s putting herself in the line of fire for the sake of the Division she runs.
Vasco Dias: And the chance at a title in the Extinction Event is just the cherry on the top, right? Let’s be realistic here.
{She gets to the ring and climbs on to the apron with her back to the ropes, she drops to one knee. She holds onto the ropes behind her as she flips her hair to the side and she winks at The Ace.
I am a Queen
And if you creep
I'll push my blade
Still water deep
I am a dream
A fairytale
Your endless Quest
Your Holy Grail
Kathy stands and steps through the middle rope into the ring. She walks to centre of the ring and flips her hair again with a hand on her hip as the lights return to normal and the music fades during the chorus of the song.
Thanks so much for your confusion
I will be your lost illusion
A starlit sky
Of black and silver is my core
My last goodbye
Makes you want me even more
For silver is my fame
Black is my name}Terri Morasco: God be with her…
{The lights go out completely, before the opening guitar riff causes red strobe lights to pulse in time with it. A few moments pass as "Clown" by Mordacious pulses through the speakers, the red strobe lights providing just enough illumination for us to see the smoke slowly gathering to cloud the entranceway.
A ring of flames lights on the stage, and Eternity emerges from within the ring, arms up as she rises. There is a mixed reaction from the adults, but the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a black hat and a veil with her head bowed as she seems to lightly bounce halfway down the ramp. Laura Howlett walks from the back, keeping a healthy distance from Eternity.}Alison Valance: And her opponent, being accompanied by Laura Howlett, from the Other Side, weighing in at 137 pounds, Eternity!
Terri Morasco: One of the most successful Diamonds in company history, Eternity is looking to continue her streak of viciousness and carry it into the Extinction Event. Can she pull it off?
Vasco Dias: Between her skill and Laura Howlett at her back, this match is almost over before it begins. It’s going to take the performance of a lifetime to overcome Sister Sorrow. Let’s see if it comes to be.
{She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled black hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms. She continues her journey down the ramp, skipping and carrying her hat in her right hand. She slides under the bottom rope into the ring and when she reaches the centre, she transitions into a skip, over to the turnbuckle where she hangs her hat on a ringpost, patting it.
She then skips to the middle of the ring and falls to her knees, keeping her head bowed for a moment and her eyes closed. she tilts her head back and slowly opens her eyes to the heavens. This gesture now triggers the lights to slowly be raised back up to normal levels as her music starts also to fade away.}Terri Morasco: In one corner, arguably one of the most enduring couples in all of professional wrestling. In the other, a madwoman and the woman who wants to hold her leash. One of these women will win, but neither of them will be the same. Let’s get this over with.
{The bell rings, and Eternity saunters out of the corner, a lopsided grin on her face. Kathy carefully approaches her, and Eternity beckons her in, begging Kathy to come to her. Kathy slowly approaches, flicking her arm out to test the waters. Eternity obliges by going for a knucklelock, and Kathy quickly snaps into an Irish whip, catching Eternity on the rebound with a Thesz press! Conway quickly hammers down with right hands, but Eternity blocks and responds with a vicious headbutt. Kathy is knocked off of the mount, and Eternity holds her forehead as she stands, shaking her head. Conway charges in, but Eternity counters with a high back elbow, staggering Kathy long enough for Eternity to hit the ropes and blast her with the Fallen Angel flying clothesline! Eternity gets to her feet and drops the Ligature Mark leg drop across Kathy’s throat! Eternity goes for an early cover!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!}Terri Morasco: Kathy Conway showing a lot of fire out of the gate, but Eternity doesn’t have to deal with ring rust, and this early offense is showing just that.
Vasco Dias: It’s been three years since Kathleen Conway had a singles match on pay-per-view, at this very event in 2013. She’s not a regular competitor, so if she can even make this competitive against the juggernaut that is Eternity it’ll be a minor miracle.
{Eternity shakes her head, laughing, and pulls Kathy up, dropping her across her knee with a rib breaker! She hangs on, pulling her up, and twists Kathy’s arm into a hammerlock before dropping her with a hammerlock scoop slam! Eternity keeps up the relentless assault, pulling Kathy in and delivering a brutal snap suplex! Eternity pops her hips, rolling through, and goes for a second suplex, only for Kathy to shoot a knee down into the head of the disturbed Diamond! Kathy floats over, reaching back as she drops and snaring her opponent with a falling neckbreaker! Kathy pushes to her feet as Eternity stands, letting out a defiant cry, and plants a solid kick in Eternity’s gut, punishing her further with a leaping DDT! Conway gets her hands underneath her, kipping up to her feet to the roars of the crowd.}Terri Morasco: Shows me for talking about ring rust! That was a spectacular move from Kathleen Conway!
Vasco Dias: There’s a lot of personal motivation in this match. Not only is Kathleen defending the honor of her division, but that match she had at October Revolution 2013? She stepped away from in-ring action because of what Eternity was putting her family through. If ever there were a motivation to push yourself harder and further, that would be it.
{Kathy pulls Eternity up to her feet, firing a stiff forearm shot into her. Eternity fires an uppercut back, and Kathy responds with a knife-edge chop. The two women trade strikes in the center of the ring, chops from Kathy and forearms from Eternity. Eternity finally mixes in a throat thrust to stagger Kathy, and follows it up with a kneelift to the gut. She hammerlocks Kathy, grinning and legsweeping her down with the Devil Lock DDT! Eternity kneels down, flipping Kathy on his gut, and kicks her in the small of the back before hooking her into the DELIVERANCE! The Romero dragon sleeper is clamped on tightly, and Eternity bears down on the hold, throwing her head back and laughing as Kathleen desperately pries at Eternity’s hands!}Terri Morasco: That grounded Romero Special-dragon sleeper combination is stifling, choking the life out of Kathy Conway and contorting that spine in ways it was never meant to bend. She’s GOT to fight out of this!
Vasco Dias: I’ve been locked in this hold before, and it is just like you said: stifling. It cuts off your oxygen, stretches what you have out of you, and if you can’t break it quickly, you’ll never get the chance.
{Kathy uses her arms, thankfully free, to scratch and claw at Eternity, trying to gain desperate purchase. Eternity just laughs, shaking her head enthusiastically, and finally Kathy decides to go into the bag of tricks, firing a quick thumb into Eternity’s eye! That tactic of questionable morality earns Kathy the breather that she so desperately needed. Eternity releases the hold, holding her eye, and Kathy rolls to the edge of the ring, dropping to the floor and clutching her throat as she desperately tries to force air back into her lungs.}Terri Morasco: Kathy going to the well there, and bending the rules to earn herself that moment of respite. She needs to capitalize, though, or this’ll be for nothing.
Vasco Dias: Agreed. It was smart on her part, but it needs follow-up.
{Kathy walked over to her corner, her husband giving her words of encouragement, as Eternity shakes her head, getting her vision back. Eternity spots Kathy and Ace talking near the apron and grins, hitting the ropes and baseball sliding into both of them! Eternity lets her momentum carry her out of the ring, grabbing Kathy by the hair as she drags her up, and slams Conway off the ring steps, the dull thud echoing as Kathy staggers back into the barricade. Eternity charges, delivering a leaping shoulder to the midsection, and gets another handful of hair, looking to whip Kathy back into the ring. The blonde reverses, though, and flings Eternity into the apron before rolling her back inside!}Vasco Dias: Kathy may have taken a bit more punishment on the outside, but that consultation with the Ace seems to have done her some good.
Terri Morasco: Kathleen Conway is one of the toughest women I know. The Ace gave her moral support, but everything she needs to win was inside her from the moment she made her entrance. We’re seeing that right now.
{Kathy rolls into the ring, grabbing Eternity and firing a forearm into her head. Eternity fires back and goes for an Irish whip, but Kathy reverses and catches Eternity on the rebound with a fallaway slam! She drops a big knee to the right shoulder of Eternity, following it with an elbow, and delivers a big stomp to the midsection to follow up. Eternity doubles over, and Kathy reaches down to hook her into a suplex. Eternity swings a boot up, however, catching Kathy in the head, and struggles to her feet. Kathy fires a wild swing, and Eternity easily ducks, hoisting her up into a fireman’s carry position! She throws her off, bringing her knee up for the ETERNAL REST…
…BUT KATHY CATCHES ETERNITY’S HEAD AS SHE’S THROWN, COUNTERING IT INTO THE KAT KALL KNEELING FACEBUSTER! Eternity’s spiked off the canvas, and Kathy covers quickly, hooking the outside leg!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT! Laura Howlett pounds the apron, shouting at Eternity, as the Ace and the audience applaud Kathy!}Terri Morasco: Eternity had to answer the Kat Kall there, and it almost scored a berth in the Extinction Event for Kathy Conway! What a counter!
Vasco Dias: She’s trained with some of the best wrestlers in the world, Terri, and we can’t ever forget that. Excellent reflexes to counter there.
{Kathy shakes her head, gritting her teeth, and hauls Eternity to her feet, delivering a hard Irish whip that sends her into the corner chest-first. Eternity hits the turnbuckles and staggers back into a snap release German suplex! Eternity is dropped to the mat neck-first hard, but as Kathy gets to her knees, Eternity kips up, seemingly showing no ill effects from the punishment she’s taken! Kathy looks at her in disbelief as Eternity just laughs at her, shaking her head and kicking Eternity in the gut. Kathy grabs Eternity’s arms in a double chickenwing, twisting her around to set up for the PokerfAce, but Eternity snaps her arms down, lifting Kathy for the DEATH KNELL!
…NO! Kathy flips through the lift, landing on her feet, and desperately hits the ropes, coming off as Eternity turns around and leveling her with a huge BROOKLYN HANGOVER lariat! Kathy desperately covers Eternity, hooking both legs!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!}Terri Morasco: Pulling a page out of her friend Emma Danielson’s book with that big-time lariat, and Kathy Conway’s resourcefulness is on full display here tonight!
Vasco Dias: Using a move like that shows how much Kathy wants to win, but it also shows desperation. She can’t let it consume her, or this match is really going to be over.
{Kathy tries to clear the cobwebs as she stands, Eternity slowly rising behind her. Kathy gets a determined look on her face, leaping and catching Eternity square on target with a dropkick. She gets to her feet, nailing another one, and bounces off the ropes to deliver a discus forearm to Eternity, laying her out! Kathy shakes her head, pointing at the prone form of Eternity, and turns to climb the turnbuckle. As she slowly summits the second turnbuckle, though, Eternity springs to her feet again, revitalized, and rushes the corner, catching Kathy up top and tearing her down with the DEATH KNELL! Conway’s spiked on her head, and Eternity covers, planting herself over Kathy!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE! Eternity laughs as the bell rings, “Clown” playing as the crowd boos viciously.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Eternity!
Terri Morasco: Kathy gave it her all, she put herself through hell, but tonight Eternity reminded us all why she’s been so dominant in her IWF tenure.
Vasco Dias: Like I said, it would be a miracle if Kathleen Conway made that match competitive. Well, nominate her for beatification, because she put on a more competitive performance than I gave her credit for. We have our first lock for the Extinction Event here tonight, with Eternity punching her ticket to Survival of the Fittest.
{Eternity kneels over Kathy’s body, posing as Laura Howlett applauds from ringside. The Ace slides into the ring, and Eternity rolls out quickly, waving a disapproving finger at him. For his part, Ace is just checking on his wife, helping Kathy to her feet. The crowd gives her a rousing ovation, applauding her bravery as the Conways make their way to the back to the still-unusual sound of unanimous crowd approval.}----------------------------------------------------------
MAN OF STEEL CHAMPIONSHIP
Submission Only Cage Match
Spike Kane (c) Vs James Franklin Karn Vs Bob Pooler
----------------------------------------------------------
{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.}Vasco Dias: JFK has a point to prove here tonight, as the former champion he’s looking at one last shot to reclaim what he believes, he never lost in the first place.
Terri Morasco: That’s right Vasco, Dre Cutler eliminated James from the title match last month, but Cutler has bigger fish to fry tonight, while JFK just wants his title back.
{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: And this man seemingly earned himself another shot after defeating the champion two weeks ago!
Vasco Dias: Please, JFK gift wrapped that match for him, and now he gets yet another title shot? Good thing Spike is going to put him down tonight.
{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, with the Man of Steel Championship around his waist. 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: The cage is coming down, and we are ready to go!
Terri Morasco: The Man of Steel championship is on the line, submission only!
{The bell rings and immediately both Bob and JFK charge at Spike. The two of them begin to beat him down, but Spike tries to fight back as much as possible, sending wild shots to each of the competitors. Eventually however, the numbers game gets the better of him, and they beat him to the ground. He rolls to the ropes, pressing himself up against the cage to try and get away from them and get some respite. Now both Bob and JFK turn to face each other, Bob extends his hand for a shake, but JFK quickly steps in and grabs the extended arm sending Pooler over with an arm drag.}Vasco Dias: How could they do that!? What!?
Terri Morasco: Clearly they see Spike as a threat, but want to earn the right to be champion against each other.
{Pooler scrambles back to his feet and charges right back at JFK who sends a wild lariat Bob’s way, however Bob ducks underneath it, he hits the ropes on the otherside with a springboard crossbody to JFK, taking the former Man of Steel down. He quickly turns around and locks in a viscious looking armbar to JFK, but the referee begins to shake his head, trying to explain the rules to Bob Pooler, who looks a little confused, before releasing the hold and all but throwing JFK’s arm away.}Vasco Dias: What an idiot!
Terri Morasco: That’s right, the referee is explaining to Bob that to win the title he needs to make the champion submit, not another challenger!
{Bob gets to his feet and walks over towards Kane who is face down on all fours near the ropes. He grabs the hair of Spike, who turns swiftly and delivers a harsh low blow to Bob Pooler before grabbing his head and slamming it off the cage wall! Pooler bounces backwards and stumbles before Spike catches him and hits a picture perfect german suplex sending Bob across the ring. However, the moments distraction allowed JFK to get back to his feet, and he charges across the ring towards Spike who was getting to his feet, and hits THE KARN KICK!!! The impact spins Spike around, and JFK quickly grabs him with the Goodnight Sally!!!! He wraps the legs around Spike and yanks hard. The champion yells out in pain as he desperately reaches for the ropes.}Terri Morasco: He could be moments away from being MoS champion again!
Vasco Dias: NO!! NO GOD DAMMIT!
{Just as all seems lost Spike manages to get to the ropes and the referee forces JFK to break the hold. As he does, he climbs to his feet to complain about the referee, but suddenly pushes the ref out of the way and ducks under a devastating looking superkick from Bob Pooler and turns around but just a moment too slow as Bob hits him with the IMPERIOUS REX!!!! JFK flops to the mat and Pooler stands there for a second trying to figure out who he should go after next. The crowd are on their feet, as Bob shrugs as if to say “what will I do next?”}Vasco Dias: Gee, I wonder what he’s going to do next?
{Bob locks JFK in a camel clutch, pulling back hard on the former champ. The crowd noise rises as Bob wrenches hard and JFK screams in pain, Bob thinks the crowd are cheering him, but they’re actually warning him about Spike being back to his feet. Kane hits the ropes and then charges at Bob Pooler nailing him right in the face with a BLOODY SUNDAY!!! Pooler flops backwards, releasing the hold on JFK and dropping to the mat, but Spike isn’t finished. He drags Bob to his feet and shouts something in his face as he pushes him back off the ropes and then lifts him up with a huge POP UP POWERBOMB INTO THE CAGE!!!}Terri Morasco: Holy crap! As if the Bloody Sunday wasn’t enough, he almost killed Bob Pooler!
Vasco Dias: Now THAT is how you make a statement.
{The crowd are on their feet, both amazed, and booing at what is happening, as Spike now turns his attention to JFK, and drags him to his feet too. He looks the former champ in the face and raises a middle finger right to his eyes before nailing him with the THUNDERSTRUCK!!! Spike doesn’t give him to to recover though, as he rolls over into the ALL HOPE IS LOST!!!!! JFK tries to hold out, he tries to scramble for the ropes, but Spike pulls harder, and harder, screaming with rage before eventually….JFK taps, and the referee calls for the bell.}Vasco Dias: Yes! Yeeeeeessss!!
Terri Morasco: Spike has done it, he has seen off JFK and Bob Pooler one more time to remain the IWF Man of Steel Champion!
Vasco Dias: And he did it all by himself! No more excuses!
{Spike climbs to his feet, and beats his chest, roaring as the referee comes to him and holds his arm in the air, before taking the belt from the timekeeper as the cage rises, and handing it back to Spike. He heads to the turnbuckle as “Crushed” blasts out of the sound system and holds the belt high in the air, before dropping to the mat, rolling out of the ring, and heading up the ramp with the title sling over the back of his shoulder.}----------------------------------------------------------

This match will go up tomorrow, I need approval for an ending...hence the delay...sorry.----------------------------------------------------------
IWF IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Dre Cutler vs Cable Arcane©
----------------------------------------------------------
{ "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. 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. }{ The lights in the arena dim and strobe red as "Long live the Chief” by Jidenna begins to play. }****as fighting over rings
****as wanna be the King, but
Long Live the Chief
For a li' ol' thang lil' boys bang bang
Long Live the Chief
****as fighting over rings
****as wanna be the king, but
Long Live the Chief
Now watch pretty mama while I slang my cane
Long Live the Chief
Uh
{ As the song kicks into gear Cable Arcane marches out onto the ramp with the Imperial Championship held high up over his head as the crowd goes into boos. Laura Howlett is close behind him and joins him at his side as Cable stands at the center of the stage with a spot light shining down on him the darkness. Finally Cable drops the belt over his shoulder and starts to make his way down the ramp with a determined look on his face, completely ignoring the crowd, Laura marches besides him. As he reaches the steps he climbs up, taking his time before climbing into the ring one leg at a time, taking the belt off his shoulder and throwing it up over his head, Laura applauds him from the outside. }Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit and it is for the IWF IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP! To my left, he is the challenger, hailing from Montgomery, Alabama weighing in at two hundred and three pounds… DRE CUTLER!!!!
{ The crowd pops huge for Dre as he steps out of his corner with his hands raised. }Alison Valance: And to my right, he is the reigning and defending IWF Imperial Champion, hailing from Hartford, Connecticut, weighing in at two hundred and eighteen pounds… CABLE ARCANE!!!!
{ The crowd turns on Cable immediately as he steps out with the belt raised over his head. }Terri Morasco: This is easily the biggest match in either man’s careers, Cable Arcane and Dre Cutler fought in an instant classic in the finals to the Heir to the Throne. Dre fought his way back to this title opportunity and absolutely deserves to be in the main event.
Vasco Dias: While Cable Arcane has beent he definition of a fighting champion, seeking out challengers as opposed to just waiting for his mandatory monthly title defense.
Terri Morasco: I can’t take anything away from either man as they have both proved to be the faces of the next generation of IWF.
Vasco Dias: There can only be one face of IWF and that face is of the Best in the World. Cable Arcane.
Terri Morasco: At the moment it is but that can all change tonight.
Vasco Dias: I sincerely doubt that.
{ The referee explains the rules to both men and shows them the championship belt before handing it off to the time keeper and calling for the starting bell! }Terri Morasco: Here we go!
{ Both men come straight out of their corners with their hands held up in a fighting stance. They meet in the center of the ring and move around each other a little, Cable reaching out and Dre moving, Dre reaching out and Cable moving. Cable feints a punch and goes for a kick but Dre gets his leg up to block and counters with his own right hand but Cable blocks that. }Terri Morasco: Both feeling each other out here.
Vasco Dias: They’re both well known for their striking capabilities.
{ Cable reaches out again and Dre fends it off but Cable quickly fires off a spin kick to the head of Dre but Dre manages to grabs Cable’s leg and bring him down with a dragon screw! The crowd pops huge as both men get right back up but Dre is right there with a leaping forearm to the head of Cable Arcane. Dre fires off two quick jab/cross combos and then grabs Cable for a short arm forearm to the head! }Terri Morasco: Dre Cutler with the opening shot of this match!
Vasco Dias: He got lucky with that little combo there but this match is far from over.
Terri Morasco: Cable has beaten some of the best there has ever been so it will take more than some strikes to finish him off.
{ Dre pulls Cable back up and goes for another short arm forearm but Cable reverses it into a short arm forearm of his own and then immediately follows it up with a spinning back fist and a leaping knee to the face. Dre stumbles backward into the corner of the ring and Cable runs in looking for the knee again but Dre dodges it and Cable connects with the turnbuckles and Dre grabs him for a swinging reverse neck breaker out of the corner! }Terri Morasco: Cable started to make a come back there but Dre quickly countered him.
Vasco Dias: The kid is fast but is he durable?
{ Dre is up and he goes to pull Cable up with him but Cable leg sweeps him and moves right into an STF!!! }Vasco Dias: STF! He’s going to tap!!!
{ Dre is far too close to the ropes though and breaks the hold, Cable keeps him locked in for the full four count but gets to his feet. Dre starts to push himself up but Cable is right there with a running knee to the side of Dre’s head, from there he rips him up to his feet and hits a devastating reverse neck breaker of his own, driving Dre’s throat right into the collar bone of Arcane! }Terri Morasco: Cable going tit for tat with Dre, hitting his own reverse neckbreaker there but with a little bit extra on it.
Vasco Dias: You deprive the body of oxygen and you deprive it of it’s strength!
{ Cable is up to his feet now and screams at Dre to get back up who is looking a little slow at the moment, still trying to catch his breath. Cable grabs him and throws him across the ring into the turnbuckles but Dre runs up the corner and leaps off with a moonsult and catches Cable straight on as he followed him in. Dre quickly transitions to a mount position where he lays in on Cable with hard right elbows to the top of his head! }Terri Morasco: The agility of Dre Cutler is unbelievable!
Vasco Dias: I won’t pretend that wasn’t impressive but Dre is still going to have to do a lot more to take down the champ.
Terri Morasco: With moves like that he stands a very real chance!
{ Dre pops off of Cable but pulls him up by the head and connects with two rapid fire knees to the head and then a spinning backfist of his own. Cable staggers backward and Dre runs at him with a flying heel kick that sends him down to the mat. }Terri Morasco: Dre is pulling out all the stops tonight!
{ Dre is up and he grabs Cable again, pulling him up he connects with another round of jab/cross combos and then looks for the backfist again but Cable spots it and grabs him for a quick Russian leg sweep and then locks him into a crossface but Dre fights it quick and hard. His feet kick and reach the ropes. Cable moves up to his feet and Dre is right beside him, Dre swings wildly but Cable gets under him and scoops him up for a tilt ‘a whirl backbreaker! }Vasco Dias: And that’s why Cable is the champion! He waits for an opening and then capitalizes on it!
Terri Morasco: It was a well timed move.
{ Cable isn’t about to relent as he drops down hard across the back of Dre’s shoulders and wrenches him into another crossface. Dre is a little further from the ropes but he manages to kick himself and throw his body close enough to touch the body rope with the tip of his boots. Cable throws Dre’s head down face first into the mat as he stands up. Cable grabs Dre but Cutler hits him with a jawbreaker! Dre is up to his feet and hits a step up enzugiri! Cable stumbles back and Dre hits the ropes and looks for a clothes line but Cable gets under it, both men turn around and Cable connects with a hook/upper cut combo and then pulls Dre up into a rolling fire man’s carry! }Vasco Dias: OH! Dre is down!
{ Cable looks for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Cutler got the shoulder up!
{ Cable mounts Dre and starts to fire off hard right elbow shots to the top of Dre’s head, a deep gash is opened at Dre’s hair line where blood immediately starts to pour from the wound. }Vasco Dias: Dre is busted open!
Terri Morasco: The referee needs to pull Cable off!
Vasco Dias: Let them fight!
{ The referee tells Cable to get off and throws on the medical gloves. He helps Dre up and backs him into the corner where he looks to apply some Vaseline to the wound to keep the blood from Dre’s eyes but Cable isn’t going to wait as he marches forward but Dre pushes the referee out of the way and hits a big superkick on Cable!!! A tooth goes flying out of Cable’s mouth!!! }Terri Morasco: SUPERKICK!!!
Vasco Dias: He knocked out a tooth!!! STOP THE MATCH!!!!
Terri Morasco: Dre put everything he had into that superkick!
{ Cable is down and Dre leaps onto him and covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Barely a two count!
Terri Morasco: I don’t know about that, Cable is looking out of it after that superkick!
Vasco Dias: Dre is going to pay for that kick!
{ Dre is up to his feet and Cable is getting up too but Dre connects with a running knee and then takes Cable face first into the top turnbuckle! Dre grabs Cable around the waist and spins him around for a release over head belly to belly suplex right into the corner of the ring! Cable lays there in a slump as Dre backs up into the opposing corner and then takes off and hits Cable with a stalling drop kick as he lays heels up in the corner of the ring! }Terri Morasco: Dre with a beautiful drop kick!
Vasco Dias: I don’t believe this!
Terri Morasco: You better believe it, Dre is the real deal!
{ Dre drags Cable out of the corner and into the center of the ring, he quickly heads to the corner where he climbs up onto the top rope and poses for the crowd for a second to a big pop before leaping off with a 450 SPLASH!!!! }Terri Morasco: 450 SPLASH!!!!
{ Dre stays on top of him for the cover but doesn’t hook the leg. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: If Dre managed to hook that leg we may have a new Imperial Champion.
Vasco Dias: But he didn’t and we don’t!
{ Dre shakes his head and smiles as he looks to the apron which gets a huge pop from the crowd. Laura looks on with concern on her face as Dre makes his way to the apron. He waits there for Cable to stand then uses the ropes to shoot himself back into the ring looking for a patented SPEAR! BUT CABLE CATCHES HIM WITH A LEAPING KNEE!!! Dre goes down hard but Cable scoops him up into a double underhook backbreaker!!! }Terri Morasco: OH!!!
Vasco Dias: A picture perfect backbreaker!!!
{ Cable moves in for the cover and hooks Dre’s legs. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! THAT WAS THREE!!!
Terri Morasco: The referee says it was only two!
Vasco Dias: The referee is blind as hell!!!
{ Cable looks stunned as he gets to his feet. Laura screams from the outside that it was three and Cable double checks but the referee holds up the two fingers. Cable turns back to Dre who grabs him for a small package! ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! They both get to their feet and Cable throws a longing clothes line but Dre gets under him and grabs him from behind with a release German suplex! }Terri Morasco: Nice counter from Dre Cutler!
Vasco Dias: This is unbelievable!
{ Dre is slow to his feet, the pace of the match is taking it’s toll and blood is still pouring out of his wound on his head. Cable isn’t moving as the referee checks on him, blood coming from his mouth where the tooth was knocked out. Dre walks over to Cable and pulls him up by the head. Dre hits two big knees to the gut of Cable and then fires off a jab/cross combo that goes to a hook/upper cut and ends with a backfist! Dre hits a spinning heel kick to the gut of Cable Arcane and then pulls him in for a high angle double arm ddt! }Terri Morasco: That could be it for Cable if Dre makes the cover!
Vasco Dias: There is no way that that’s it!
Terri Morasco: Both men are exhausted and one big move could be the end of the match.
Vasco Dias: No way! The best in the world isn’t going to lose tonight!
{ Dre rolls over and pushes himself back up to his feet, he heads to the corner of the ring and starts to climb up the ropes. He stands on top and looks down on Cable Arcane and then leaps off with a front flip leg drop!!! Dre basically collapses over Cable as the referee drops down to make the count. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: TWO COUNT!!!
Terri Morasco: Dre is literally pulling out every move he knows and it just isn’t enough to put Cable away.
Vasco Dias: Nothing will be! He’s the best in the world and we are seeing why tonight!
{ Dre has lost a lot of blood and wipes his face clean as he heads to the apron again. He steps out through the ropes as the crowd cheers him on. Dre firmly grabs the ropes and then uses them to spring in as Cable stands with Dre says HEY!!! Cable moves out of the way at the last second and Dre crashes hard into the mat. He tries to get up quickly but Cable is there with a full body lunging clothes line! Dre tries to spring back to his feet but he’s starting to looked gassed, Cable isn’t all there either as he connects with two jab/cross combos and follows it up with a big knee lift right to the gut of Dre and then a short running bulldog! }Terri Morasco: Cable Arcane is running on fumes right now!
Vasco Dias: Fumes are all Cable needs to win this match.
Terri Morasco: I’m not so sure about that.
{ Cable rolls Dre over for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Barely a two!
Vasco Dias: Dammit, this kid just won’t give up!
{ Cable grabs Dre by the head and rips him up to his feet, Cable finds a second wind as he sends Dre hard into the corner of the ring and connects with a running knee to the jaw. Dre hits two more big knees and then a spinning backfist before pull Dre up for the Made to Suffer!!! But Dre fights free and drops down behind Cable, Cable turns right into another big superkick! }Terri Morasco: SUPERKICK!!!
{ Dre heads out to the apron now, he looks reinvigorated as the crowd starts to get behind him. Dre grabs the ropes and looks to spring back in with Dre says Hey but Dre suddenly goes down as Noah Field comes out of nowhere and sweeps Dre’s legs out from under him and sends him hard onto the apron as Laura climbs up on the apron and distracts the referee so he doesn’t see a thing! }Terri Morasco: WHAT THE HELL!?
Vasco Dias: NOAH FIELD!?
Terri Morasco: What the hell is he doing out here!?
Vasco Dias: I have no idea!
{ Noah starts to lay into Dre on the apron with a bunch of hard right hands which opens the wound on Dre’s head even more. Cable looks up from a kneeling position to see Laura distracting the referee, he stands up and screams at her to get down as Noah pushes Dre back into the ring and walks away with a smile on his face. }Vasco Dias: Is Noah Field a part of the House?
Terri Morasco: It sure freaking looks like it!
{ Cable turns back to see Dre trying to stand up, he looks around and spots Noah who now joins Laura on the apron, the two of them shaking hands before Noah starts to back up the ramp with a huge smile on his face. Cable does not look happy at all as he turns back to Dre who is starting to get up. }Terri Morasco: I don’t believe this! Cable aigned an agreement that House would stay out of this!
Vasco Dias: Noah isn’t officially a part of the House yet!
Terri Morasco: It doesn’t matter! Dre has been robed!
{ Dre starts to stand up as the crowd boos, Cable grabs him and pulls him up for MADE TO SUFFER!!! Dre is down and Cable covers him, never taking his eyes off Laura Howlett and Noah Field. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Alison Valance: Your winner of the match an still IWF IMPERIAL CHAMPION!!! CABLE ARCANE!!!!
{ The crowd is livid as Cable rips his belt from the referee, Laura claps from the outside as Noah does the same with a big shit eating grin on his face. }Terri Morasco: This match shouldn’t of ended like this… Dre deserves better.
Vasco Dias: It’s like they say Terri, the House always wins.
{ Cable holds his belt but he isn’t celebrating as his theme plays and the show comes to a close. }
