”Doing My Job”
----------------------------------------------------------
{We open the show with Riley Gordon in the ring to a rousing ovation.}Riley Gordon: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to MONDAY...NIGHT...SACRIFICE!
{The crowd gives another ovation.}Riley Gordon: Over the last few weeks, only on the IWF Network, you saw women from around the globe compete, and show off their great skill inside this ring to win the inaugural Diamond In The Rough Tournament. Last week, we saw an awesome Triple Threat Match to determine who that person would be. Those three women should be commended for making it to the finals of the tournament.
{The crowd agrees and gives them a round of applause as Riley nods.}Riley Gordon: With that said, the winner...and first ever DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH...the woman who will take her spot in the Iron Maiden...CHARITY...CROWNE!
{"Pop pop!"
The clapping synth intro of "Popular" by The Veronicas plays over the PA, and Charity Crowne walks out onto the stage in jeans and a "Crowne Jewel" T-shirt, rolling her eyes and striking a brief pose at the top of the ramp. She struts down to the ring, smirking broadly as she dismisses the crowd. Charity hooks the ring post with a hand, walking around to the side of the ring, and plants a hand on the ring apron, jumping and swinging herself under the bottom rope. She back-rolls to her feet in the middle of the ring, posing again, and preens a little in front of the crowd. Charity beckons to a stagehand for a microphone, getting it, and takes a step back, letting Riley speak.}Riley Gordon: This really is quite the momentous of occasions. I mean, seriously, we searched far and wide, and this young woman to my side is the FIRST EVER Diamond In The Rough. Look at her folks...she's gorgeous, she's smart, and inside this ring, she's shown you all that she is...
{Before Riley can finish, Charity takes the microphone from her.}Charity Crowne: Alright, that's far enough. First off, they all know that I'm the Diamond in the Rough...I mean, how could they not? I was the only one worth watching in that whole damn tournament, and everyone KNEW that I was going to win it, just like they know and I GUARANTEE that I'll be the one to win the Iron Maiden.
{She turns toward Riley.}Charity Crowne: Flat. Out. Guaran. TEE!
{Riley looks annoyed.}Charity Crowne: I don't need praise from you. You weren't anyone special, right? You're just a pencil pusher who wanted to put her face on television to make herself seem more important. Sad. So, since you're the one in charge of this whole sham...well, the back-up plan, anyhow...why don't you do something smart for once, save us all the trouble, and cancel the Iron Maiden?
{The crowd boos as the anticipation for the event has been building for more than a month.}Charity Crowne: In fact, while we're at it, just hand me the Diamonds Championship right now. Let Paige Garcia get all the crying out of her system. Least she'll be conscious for it this way.
{Charity walks toward the camera with a huge smile on her face.}Charity Crowne: Paige likes to call herself "The Queen of Diamonds"? Let me tell you something right here and now,
Paige Garcia: you might think you're the queen, but you are NO Crowne Jewel. FACT!
{She then turns back to Riley, smirking ear-to-ear.}Charity Crowne: So why don't you do your job, and—
{Riley returns the favor and snatches the microphone from Charity, causing a look of shock, followed by annoyance as the crowd cheers the obnoxious Diamond being interrupted.}Riley Gordon: I like your idea Charity...I'm going to do my job. I've heard every single word to come out of your mouth since this tournament began. I've let it go by the wayside in the thoughts that you being in our division would brighten it with the skill you possess, but as of tonight, your mouth has written a check that your backside can only hope to cash. You ARE the Diamond in the Rough. You ARE in the Iron Maiden...
{Riley turns to the crowd and then the camera with a rather confident yet sinister smile before turning back to Charity.}Riley Gordon: And now...you ARE the FIRST ENTRANT IN THE IRON MAIDEN!
{A look of horror appears on Charity's face and the crowd roars in approval as Riley smiles, dropping the microphone right in front of Charity's face before walking off up the ramp.}----------------------------------------------------------

SEGMENT
“Getting to the Bottom of This.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{Return from commercial.}Terri Morasco: we're back from break and we have Steve Awesome in the ring, and it looks like he's brought some company.
{There was a man, sitting at a table next to a machine that looked a lot like a lie detector machine.}Vasco Dias: What do you suppose he needs a lie detector for, Terri?
Terri Morasco: I would assume to detect some lies, Vasco.
Steve Awesome: Cut my music.
Terri Morasco: There are definitely a lot of Steve Awesome fans here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is perhaps just twenty, twenty five miles away from where he grew up. But I can still hear some boos in the crowd tonight.
Vasco Dias: That's because he keeps sticking his nose in Lord Dominicus's business. He's fun, and not Rob Diamond, and Steve just wants to ruin that.
Terri Morasco: I think there might be a little more to it then that Vasco.
Steve Awesome: Tonight ladies and gentlemen, tonight I finally bring a little truth into the IWF and I finally prove to everyone in this arena, and everyone watching at home the thing I've been trying to tell you all since all this started. That Lord Dominicus is Rob Diamond!
{The crowd boos.}Steve Awesome: Oh I know, you think he's entertaining and funny. Well that sucks because tonight I brought in a lie detector. I think Lord Dominicus should take a lie detector test here tonight in Ann Arbor what do you say to that, eh people?”
{More boos.}Steve Awesome: Oh what's wrong? I think it's a great idea because I mean, if he's telling the truth and he's really not actually Rob Diamond under a mask, then he would have no problem passing this test. Come on Lord Dominicus, if you got the guts, come out here and take a lie detector test! I bet you won't because your to afraid you'll fail it.
Vasco Dias: Lord Dominicus doesn't have to take that test.
Terri Morasco: Well if he is telling the truth then what does he have to lose?
Vasco Dias: Oh, well he is telling the truth, but he still doesn't have to take the test.
{ Real American hits the PA as Lord Dominicus struts out onto the stage, the lights flashing green and red as he plays the air guitar to a roaring crowd. After several long moments he does the epic finger point pose before heading to the ring marching with big steps, arms flailing. He reaches the steps and plants one boot on the steel nodding his head to the music as the crowd cheers. He stomps up the steps and climbs into the ring one big leg at a time before marching right to the center. He looks around at the jam packed arena and then starts doing the hand wave before bringing it up to his ear to hear the crowd pop one more time. }Lord Dominicus: Let me tell you something, brother.....
{the crowd pop as Steve just shakes his head in utter annoyance.}Lord Dominicus: ….the only thing that there is proof of here tonight, is how much your obsessed with me, dude. Ever since I debuted here in IWF back in the Roulette you have been a monkey on my back, and I'm starting to get really tired of it Brother. I mean for crying out loud, I DONT EVEN KNOW YOU!
{Lord Dominicus points at Steve and shrugs his shoulders and the crowd eat it up as Steve Awesome just shakes his head and glares at him.}Lord Dominicus: And I know my rights as a proud American, brother. I don't have to subject myself to a lie detector test just because you kind of have a crush on DOMINIMANIA, BROTHER.
{He flexes hard.}Steve Awesome: I hate you. I hate you because your a liar! And I know you are a liar because you are too afraid to take the lie detector test because you know you'll fail and prove to everyone that Dominimania is nothing but a steaming pile of bull shit!
Lord Dominicus: You know something, brother? I'll do it. I'll take the lie detector test.
{Dominicus sits down in the chair and the attendant straps him up to the machine.}Lord Dominicus: If it means, getting you off my back and clearing my name then I'll do whatever it takes.
Steve Awesome: Yeah we'll see about that, ask him the questions!
{the attendant finishes the process and starts asking him questions.}Attendant: Mr. Dominicus. Here are a few easy ones to make sure the machine works. Are we currently in Ann Arbor, Michigan?
Lord Dominicus: Yes, brother.
{BING}Attendant: That was a truth. Is that on planet Mars?
Lord Dominicus: No, dude.
{BING}Steve Awesome: This is getting ridiculous. Ask him the real question.
Attendant: Are you Rob Diamond?
{Awesome stares intently as Lord Dominicus hesitates to answer.}Lord Dominicus: No.
{Everyone's eyes glance over toward the machine to hear it's sound.}{BING!}Steve Awesome: What just happened?
Attendant: It means he is telling the truth!
Steve Awesome: WHAT!? NO!
{Dominicus celebrates and Awesome just shakes his head.}Steve Awesome: Let me ask him. I don't know how you passed that test, Rob, but I'm going to catch you in your lies now. Are you Rob Diamond under that mask?
Lord Dominicus: NO!
{BING!}Steve Awesome: YES YOU ARE! YOU ARE ROB DIAMOND DAMNIT! ROB, ROB, ROB!
Lord Dominicus: NO!, NO!, NO!
{BING! BING! BING!}Steve Awesome: Okay....clearly this thing is broken. If you can pass it while stating clear lies, then so can I. Strap me up to it.
{Dominicus gets out of the way and Steve takes the chair and once he was all strapped in, Dominicus takes the microphone.}Lord Dominicus: Since you're all strapped in, I don't think you'll mind if I ask the questions, brother. Like for instance, is it true that you've slept with a lot of women.
Steve Awesome: Oh yeah, I've been around the block a few times. That's true.
{BING!}Lord Dominicus: So how many STD's have you actually gotten, brother?
Steve Awesome: Pfft none....
{EEEEEEK}Steve Awesome: Okay fine, I was with a lot of women. The odds were against me. I may have gotten a FEW STD's in my time. But only a few.
{EEEEEEEK}Steve Awesome: Okay, maybe our definitions of a few are different, but it's less than five, that's for sure.
{EEEEEK}Steve Awesome: Oh come on! Fine, I got more than five but it was never any of the really bad ones.
{EEEEEEK}Steve Awesome: Get me out of this thing, now damn it. I don't deserve this torment!
{EEEEEEEK!}{Awesome rips off the wires and equipment and he stands up in his chair and gets in Lord Dominicus face but he backs away slowly.}Lord Dominicus: I'm going to ask you not to come near me, Brother, you are nasty.
{Awesome grips his brown locks in stress and frustration.}Steve Awesome: I don't care what that lie detector test says, I would BET MY HAIR that it's Rob under that mask!
{Lord Dominicus looks over at him}Lord Dominicus: Well your on, Brother. Me verse you at the pay per view this weekend. Hair verse mask brother. And once I shave you bald, you'll be out of mine and your hair forever, dude. Because whatcha gonna do, brother, what's you gonna do when DOMINIMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU!
{Awesome goes for a punch but he gets big booted out of the ring and he throws a fit on the floor as Real American plays and we cut to commercial.}----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Lizzy Dalmon vs Shea O’Hara
----------------------------------------------------------
{“We Can't Stop” by Trust the Medic begins to play and Lizzy Dalmon makes his way to the ring, her brother Landon following close behind. The fans boo her as she makes her way to the ring. Halfway there she stops and poses so that people can take a picture of her. When she gets to the ring she climbs the steps and enters. Once in the ring she continues to pose for more pictures.}Vasco Dias: This woman is a breath of fresh air, and not just fresh Terri, but clean. The kind of air that only money can buy.
Terri Morasco: You’re such a suck up Vasco, are you trying to get hired?
Vasco Dias: I’m happy where I am Terri, but if a Dalmon offers you a job? You never say no.
{The lights go out before the tron flickers to life with a flick of orange hair, before "In God We Trust” by Sweet Little Machine blasts out of the PA with orange and green lights flashing wildly, in time with the drums}"ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
NAH, NAH, NAH NAH!
NAH NAH-NAH NAH NAH!"
{The crowd chant along with the song, as 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.}Terri Morasco: Both of these women have already qualified for the Iron Maiden Vasco, this is a preview of sorts.
Vasco Dias: Yeah, but Lizzy wouldn’t want you saying that. She said as such herself, this isn’t a warm up, this isn’t a preview, it’s a statement.
{The referee calls for the bell and Shea begins to pace around the ring, arms out stretched. Lizzy saunters into the ring, demanding that Shea come to her, and the Irish Woman does, like a house on fire. Shea charges Dalmon and locks up with her right off the bat. She slips into a headlock, and takes Lizzy to her side before taking her over and to the mat but doesn’t release the hold. Shea ruffles up Lizzy’s hair, before surfing over her back and giving her a cheeky slap to the back of her head and backing off, playing up to the fans.}Terri Morasco: Shea is showing Lizzy that she has the technical edge here.
Vasco Dias: Lizzy called Shea a rookie, but that really isn’t the case, the gulf in skill is pretty obvious when it comes to the technical side of things, but Shea is just riling up Lizzy here, and that is NOT a good idea.
{Lizzy shouts out in indignation as she tries to fix her hair, scrambling away from Shea O’Hara, who seems to be growing in her confidence. Shea walks over towards Lizzy, but Dalmon explodes forwards and hits O’Hara in the gut with a double fist, before hitting the ropes and coming back with a single leg kick to the head taking the red head down. Lizzy doesn’t rest though, she is right back to her feet and hits the ropes once more, coming back with a huge senton splash to Shea O’Hara. Lizzy scrambles for the cover. One! ….Two! ..-Shea kicks out!}Vasco Dias: Lizzy almost stole that one!
Terri Morasco: O’Hara’s overconfidence almost cost her the match there.
Vasco Dias: See, I told you. Shea thinks she’s all that, but Lizzy is no slouch, just because she wasn’t trained by the likes of Adam Knite, Gibford Famularo and...you know….God Himself.
Terri Morasco: You mean Spike Kane?
Vasco Dias: Did I stutter?
{Lizzy begins to shout at the referee, telling him that she would get him fired, hire him, and then fire him again just because she could, as Shea crawls to the ropes. O’Hara pulls herself up just as Dalmon turns around, Lizzy sends a wild punch at Shea, but Shea blocks it, before sending a huge spinning wheel kick at Dalmon. Lizzy goes down hard, and Shea hits the ropes. On the return Shea drops for an elbow, but Dalmon rolls out of the way. Lizzy quickly drops for one of her own, but now Shea rolls out of the way, as both Diamonds struggle to get to their feet, Lizzy sends another wild swing for Shea, but this time Shea ducks underneath Lizzy and stops mid-step, turning around and catching Lizzy Dalmon off guard with a huge snap...STRAIGHT EDGE SUPERKICK!!!}Vasco Dias: OH SNAP!
Terri Morasco: She nearly took her head off!
{Shea goes for the cover…..ONE! …..TWO!....Landon at ringside rushes around and just manages to get Lizzy’s foot onto the ropes without the referee seeing….THREE!!! --NO! The referee spots Lizzy Dalmon’s foot on the ropes and waves off the three count. Shea rolls off of the pinfall believing she has won. She jumps up and throws her hands in the air, but the referee is trying to tell her she hasn’t won. Landon is trying to rouse Lizzy back to life while Shea is distracted.}Vasco Dias: Ha! She’s such a dumb Ir-
Terri Morasco: Careful Vasco, we don’t want another fiasco on our hands.
Vasco Dias: I was gonna say ignoramus!
Terri Morasco: Suuuure.
{As Shea realises what is going on, she turns around to go back on the offensive on Lizzy, however Lizzy springs to life and catches Shea off guard with the PLASTIC SURGERY!!! The crowd are going wild, booing Lizzy and her brother like wild. The referee holds up his hands, no rules had been broken, at least as far as he was aware. Lizzy looks around and down at Shea, before grabbing the turnbuckle and pulling herself up to the top rope.}Vasco Dias: This is it, it’s game over!
{Lizzy climbs to the top and signals that it’s over as she stands tall before flying through the air with the TRUST FUND FLIP!!! BUT SHEA GETS HER KNEES UP!!!! Shea springs to life and locks in her submission move, her version of the four legged clover THE CELTIC PRIDE!!! Lizzy rolls around and screams in pain, reaching out for the ropes but unable to reach them, she reaches for her brothers arm, but he can’t help her, before she inevitably taps. The referee rings the bell and “In God We Trust” hits the sound system as Landon Dalmon pulls Lizzy out of the ring, the referee raises Shea’s hand in victory.}----------------------------------------------------------

”Shieldmaiden Stipulation and Challenger for the Viewer’s Choice PPV”
----------------------------------------------------------
{The lights in the arena start to twinkle like diamonds, green, purple and red with the melodic holler and drum beat of ''Black and Silver" by Xandria. }Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome home the Imperial Wrestling Federation Co-Head Of the Diamonds Division ...the Queen Of Diamonds...KATHLEEN CONWAY!
{The chords of an organ punctuate the words as Kathleen Conway appears on the stage with one hand on her right hip. She is wearing a stylish white dress, diamond earrings, a diamond necklace and white high heel shoes. She begins her walk down the ramp as the crowd cheer.}Vasco Dias: Over the last few weeks, our fans have been given the opportunity to decide the stipulation for the Shieldmaiden contest scheduled at our next Pay Per View The results of that exclusive IWF.COM poll are in and tonight we will learn not only who has earned the opportunity to face the reigning Champion Eternity in six days, but also what type of match you, the fans have chosen...
Terri Morasco: It will be most interesting because up until last week, there was no guarantee that it would be Eternity going into this match, it could have just as easily have been Crystal...
{Kathy gets to the ring and climbs the steel steps into the ring. She walks to the middle and flips her hair again with a hand on her hip as the lights return to normal and the music fades.
She then walks over to the side and collects a microphone from a stage-hand. Kathy walks back to the middle of the ring and raises the microphone to her lips.}Kathy Conway: A couple of weeks ago, I gave you, the IWF fans, the opportunity to decide the fate of your reigning and defending Shieldmaiden, Eternity, and tonight I can reveal that the response was incredible. All of you voted in droves for the type of match you'd like to see the Shieldmaiden defended in at our next Pay Per View attraction on IWF.com, and the results are in...
{Kathy gestures to the Imperitron which lights up with the following poll results.}-------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT TYPE OF MATCH SHOULD THE IWF SHIELDMAIDEN
BE DEFENDED IN AT THE VIEWER'S CHOICE PAY PER VIEW?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
LADDER 0%
SUBMISSION 0%
HARDCORE 17%
CELL 0%
LAST DIAMOND STANDING 83%
--------------------------------------------------------------------
{The sold out Sacrifice crowd erupt into cheers as soon as the results are revealed.}
Terri Morasco: Well, it's official, somebody will face Eternity in a Last Diamond Standing Match! A match we haven't seen contested in the Diamonds Division for over two years, ever since Ana Valentine successfully defended her Diamonds Championship at Danger Zone in 2015 by keeping not one but two Diamonds down for the referee's ten count!
Vasco Dias: Wow, what a blood thirsty demographic we apparently cater to...even without knowing who would be involved, the fans have voted for two women to beat the holy hell out of one another until one of them literally cannot stand!
Kathy Conway: It's official! With a landslide 83% of YOUR vote, at YOUR Pay Per View, Eternity will defend her Shieldmaiden in a LAST DIAMOND STANDING MATCH!
{The crowd erupt once more, as Kathy smiles, soaking in their reaction as they start a "Thank You Kathy!" chant.}Kathy Conway: No, no, THANK YOU all for helping ensure that MY Division continues to push new frontiers in this business as for the first time in this company's history two women will go one on one until one of them cannot answer the referee's ten count, and what's more, with the IWF Shieldmaiden at stake, its guaranteed to be one hell of an opportunity for the competitors involved. So, who will be Eternity's next challenger?
Terri Morasco: That's perhaps the most important question going into this match...
Vasco Dias: Whoever Kathy has chosen, I don't envy them at all. Keeping Eternity down for a ten count is an entirely different prospect to pinning her shoulders to the mat for a three count...
Kathy Conway: It was a tough decision, but in the end I figured that since you, the people, picked the match, then its only natural that you, the people, get to see the one diamond on MY roster who claims to fight for all of you, the people. The same woman who in recent months has made top submission artists like Kate Steele tap out, and earlier tonight was screwed out of her last opportunity to enter the very match she won last year...FIONA MCFLY!
Terri Morasco: Last year Fiona McFly went on to headline Night of the Immortals against Eternity for the Diamonds Championship, now on the road to this year's edition, the former Iron Maiden will get to relive history as she goes one on one with Eternity one more time!
Vasco Dias: Well, as a consolation prize for not being in the Iron Maiden this year, this is one hell of an opportunity for the young outspoken Diamond, but I can't help but think some small part of Kathy is relishing the thought of Fiona being incapacitated, they have quite the history between them...
Terri Morasco: Really Vasco? Do you have to be such a conspiracy theori -
{Terri is cut off abruptly as the arena lights begin to flicker, and the poll on the Imperitron disappears. Through the arena's sound system, a loop of the crowd's earlier gratitude is played.}
"THANK YOU KATHY! THANK YOU KATHY! THANK YOU KATHY! THANK YOU KATHY! THANK YOU KATHY! THANK YOU KATHY!"
{The lights then go out completely, before the chants are replaced by Eternity's chilling laughter as it reverberates in the endless darkness.}----------------------------------------------------------

"REGRETS I'VE HAD MINE!"
The lights in the arena explode to life as they flash green and black to the beat as Steve Awesome comes running out with intensity to the hyped up chorus of "Full of Regrets" by Danko Jones.}Alison Valance: Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 238 pounds, Steve Awesome!
Terri Morasco: Steve’s been dealing with a lot of things lately, especially the constant thorn in his side of Rob Dia—
Vasco Dias: LORD DOMINICUS!
Terri Morasco: …Lord Dominicus. His head can’t entirely be in this match.
Vasco Dias: No it can’t, but that’s what happens when Dominimania runs wild, Terri.
Terri Morasco: One of these days I’m going to find out why you got hired.
{Lonely nights/ and a whole lot of wasted time!
If you see her wont you tell her for me/
It's better this way to avoid all the misery
The chorus plays again as Steve walks down to the ring. The guitar starts soloing and Steve hops into the ring and he provocatively slips off his jacket and then spins and drops into a kneel and he flexes his arms. He gets a slow motion effect as pyro sprays behind him.}Alison Valance: And his opponent…
{The lights in the arena suddenly turn out, plunging the fans into darkness. Little by little, small beacons of light begins to pop up as the fans raise their lit cellphone aloft as the #WWIDN appears on the Jumbotron in bright red and the opening drumbeat of “Red Fraction” begins to play. Amidst a shower of phone flashes, Pooler steps out from behind the curtain as the song begins to pick up. Shielding his eyes with his left hand, he points to the nosebleed sections with his right before making his way to the edge of the ramp.} Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring; from Manchester, New Hampshire; weighing in at two hundred and twenty-eight pounds, he is the IWF Invictus Champion…Bob…POOOOOLER!
Terri Morasco: The Invictus Champion put away Todd Williams last week in a sprint of a match, but this week he’s up against one of the all-time greats. What’s the key for Bob Pooler here tonight, Vasco?
Vasco Dias: Volume and pressure. He’s one of the most prolific strikers IWF has ever seen, and if he wants to keep Steve Awesome from getting out of the blocks he’s going to have to pummel him down quickly.
{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: A battle of two of IWF’s finest, only here on Sacrifice!
{The bell rings, and Bob walks to the center of the ring, offering a handshake to Steve. Steve makes to take Bob’s hand, but instead brushes his hair back, shaking his head and waving him off. Bob shakes his head, and the two men back up slightly, beginning to circle each other. Steve is the first one to lunge in, looking for the kneelift that usually signals the Brain Scrambler axe kick, but Pooler smoothly spins with him, catching Steve on the return with a sharp body blow before hooking him into a gutwrench! The crowd pops at the chance they might see an early Acid Reflux combo, but Steve kicks his feet as Bob lifts him and spins out, taking Pooler’s back and looking for the STEVEVD PLAYER crossface chickenwing! Bob shoulder-rolls Steve over him, and as Awesome gets to his feet he’s met with a snap straight right to the face! Pooler pressures Steve back, nailing a follow-up left hook, stepping into a leg kick to Steve’s left leg, and bulls him into the corner with another series of snapping jabs! Bob looks to continue the onslaught, but Steve wisely wraps his arm under the top rope, causing the referee to step in and back Pooler up.}Terri Morasco: What a high-octane opening, and there’s that voluminous striking from Bob Pooler that you mentioned, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: And excellent ring awareness from Steve Awesome to get out of a dangerous position there.
{Pooler takes a few steps back, hands up as he acquiesces with the referee’s demands. Steve flashes a smirk at Bob, gesturing for him to move back, and Pooler’s eyes harden before he charges back in, cracking Steve in the face with a double knee strike! Bob holds on to Steve’s head and rocks back, looking to complete the IMPERIOUS REX, but Steve flips through, landing on his feet! Steve spins on his heel, charging in and ramming Pooler into the corner with a shoulder thrust! He follows through with two more before back-rolling out of the corner and charging back in with a step-up Shining Wizard! Steve drops back down to a vertical base, snaring Pooler before ripping him out of the corner with a belly-to-belly suplex! Steve covers!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT! Pooler shakes his head, trying to get his bearings, as Steve grimaces down at him.}Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome with the first cover of the match, and this is an absolute barn-burner of a match so far! Neither man is willing to take it out of top gear!
Vasco Dias: They both want this win, Terri, and they’re willing to throw themselves into the fight to come away with it.
{Steve stalks Pooler again as he rises, firing a forearm into his jaw. The Quebec native stumbles back but fires off one of his own. Steve delivers another pair of forearm shots, staggering Bob, and hits the ropes, looking for a running forearm shot, only for Pooler to duck underneath and nail Steve with an STO backbreaker! Bob drops to a knee for a moment, gathering himself before ducking out to the apron and flinging himself back into the ring with a slingshot senton…THAT EATS KNEES! Pooler hits hard on the knees of Steve Awesome, and Steve staggers to his feet, beckoning Bob on as he stands again. Bob gets to his feet, and Steve confidently approaches him…ONLY TO BE TORN IN HALF BY A HIGH-VELOCITY HUG OUT OF NOWHERE! Bob covers, hooking the leg!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—KICKOUT! It’s Steve’s turn to be dazed, clutching his ribs as Pooler gets back to his feet.}Terri Morasco: What a spear from Bob Pooler! He almost turned the Face of the Franchise inside-out!
Vasco Dias: That isn’t an image that any of us needed, Terri. Thank you so very little.
{Bob makes for the turnbuckles, wasting no time in climbing to the second rope, and measures Steve as he tries to sit up, coming off with a diving double stomp to Steve’s stomach! The impact flattens Steve again, and Pooler hauls Steve up off the canvas again, making a trigger motion with his hand. The crowd cheers, and Pooler grins before slinging Awesome across his shoulders in a fireman’s carry, looking for the PEPTO-BISMOL RED! Pooler takes a few steps with Steve on his shoulders, and the motion seems to bring Steve to life, as he kicks his legs and slips out the back again! Bob turns, and it’s Steve’s turn to scoop him up onto his shoulders, looking for the STEVEKO! Pooler slips off Steve’s shoulders as well, and when both men turn to face each other they have the same idea, lashing out at once with their respective superkicks, Steve’s JAWBREAKER and Bob’s DR. TEETH! Both men are laid out by the simultaneous impact, and the referee looks between them, trying to check for signs of life before beginning the ten-count!}Terri Morasco: Did you hear that?! It was like gunshots going off in the center of the ring! Both men are down!
Vasco Dias: Those superkicks have gotten both men out of desperate situations before, and they went to the well once too many. This match is one big knockout blow away from being over at any instant.
{As it so happens, the one who hauls himself unsteadily to his feet first is Steve, breaking at the count of eight. Bob is up a second later, and Steve charges in with a forearm! Bob fires back with a European uppercut, and Steve delivers a standard uppercut of his own! This only buys him a half-second, but it’s enough time for Steve to set up and charge, delivering the kneelift he was looking for at the beginning of the match! Steve grins at Bob, throwing a crotch chop and bellowing “SUCK IT!” along with the crowd, and hits the ropes, flipping forward for the BRAIN SCRAMBLER! Steve isn't finished with the axe kick, though, hauling Pooler off the canvas and slinging him across his shoulders before spinning him out into the STEVEKO! Awesome covers!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE! Steve rolls off, throwing his fist into the air as “Full of Regret” plays over the PA.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Steve Awesome!
Terri Morasco: This was a slugging match, and unfortunately for Bob Pooler, Steve Awesome found that big bomb in his arsenal first! That SteveKO is devastating!
Vasco Dias: Game effort from Bob Pooler, but you have to think that Lord Dominicus’s specter hanging over this had Steve fired up. If he wants to get back on track, he’s going to need to do what many think to be impossible: stop Dominimania from running wild.
Terri Morasco: Just when I think you’re improving, you go ahead and do this. He could just expose Rob Diamond to the world and get him fired again?
Vasco Dias: Rob Diamond is not Lord Dominicus. Lord Dominicus wears a mask, Rob Diamond doesn’t. I thought you were smarter than this, Terri.
Terri Morasco: REGARDLESS! A great performance from these two men here tonight on Monday Night Sacrifice, and the evening's not done yet!

SINGLES MATCH
Fiona McFly vs Alicia Lukas
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The opening riff of "Root of all evil" by Incendiary starts and as the guitar kicks in with the baseline stomp Alicia Lukas emerges from the back, she stands on the entranceway and lifts on hand in the air throwing up the horns before making her way down to the ring. She runs up and slides across the apron on one knee lifting her hand on the air before sliding between the apron and the bottom rope. }Vasco Dias: Ain't this Georgia peach cute or what?
Terri Morasco: Ya know, sometimes I wonder whether or not you're gonna get sued for harassment someday...
Vasco Dias: Pfffft...gimme a break.
{ "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. }Terri Morasco: Well Fiona's been through a lot these past 48 hours, having some strong and blunt words for both Johnny Gillmen and Nighthawk following a Twitter exchange that got out of hand. And tonight...Pandora Freeman costed her a chance of repeating as Iron Maiden!
Vasco Dias: Yeah...she didn't particularly like Fox News shovin' their cameras in her face upon arriving in Detroit yesterday, and Pan's little stunt only exacerbated things.
[DING!]
{ Fiona and Alicia lock up in the center of the ring; their weight differential is almost nominal as the two jockey for position. Lukas, the newer of the Diamonds, fires off a sharp slap to the Northern Irishwoman's temples that catches her by surprise. Alicia shoots her opponent into the ropes, and Fiona bounds off--winding up on the business end of a spinning heel kick to her ribs, hunching her over. A snap suplex follows after that, and Lukas, sporting a sly grin on her mug, hurries up to the top buckle and flies off, hitting a frog splash-elbow drop combination before going for the pin... }1..!
2...!!
NOPE!!!
{ Lukas grumbles slightly before pulling Fiona up by the hair--earning a few choice words from the dude in the zebra stripes--before chucking her to the outside. On the arena floor, McFly is left to try and shake off the fuzzies...and looks up just in time to see Alicia fly over the top rope with a suicide dive. Fiona rolls out of the way, and Lukas hits nothing except floor mat! }Vasco Dias: Crash 'n' burn...
Terri Morasco: Happens when ya do a--
Vasco Dias: Yeah, yeahhhh...a blind move. Then again, I'd be hard-pressed to see both these ladies in a nude photo shoot somewhere.
Terri Morasco: Will you get SERIOUS!?!
{ The ref's count is up to three as we now see Fiona firing with rights, lefts, and knife-edges that back Alicia up against the safety fence! McFly sends the newer Diamond crashing headlong into the steel steps before unceremoniously dumping her back into the ring where they both belong! Fiona leaps over the third strand and nails Alicia with a flying forearm that rocks her on the deck; she then proceeds to apply a pair of vertical suplexes--the second of which is transitioned into a bridge...only for Lukas to use her legs to power out of the pin. But her momentum is a fallacy as Fiona executes a rather slick-looking crucifix pin... }1...!
2...!!
KICKOUT!!!
{ Fiona keeps on truckin', kicking Lukas hard in the midsection with her martial artist's prowess before sending her for the ride; yet Alica ducks underneath a clothesline, bounces off the ropes, and nearly decapitates the 2016 Iron Maiden with a sharp, swift clothesline. }{ Alicia ekes out a sinister grin, executes a trio of German suplexes--one after the other, with the third being the "release" variety! Eventually, she climbs up to the top rope just as McFly pulls herself slowly to her feet, and flies off with a high crossbody block for a pin... }1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEOOOYYYYY...!!!
{ Lukas stands up pissed, barking out orders at the ref like a Marine D.I. The zebra-dude holds up the dreaded two fingers as Fiona, breathing heavily, manages to get her senses back in order. Just as Alicia turns around, she's met with McFly's "Yellow Card" Iron Claw! The crowd roars to life as Fiona's nails dig into Lukas' forehead region, but just enough above the eyes to be considered sporting. Alicia flails away as she's pushed back tward the ropes before being shot in; Lukas bounds off the strands and is trucked by a spear! Fiona immediately goes for the cover... }1...!
2...!!
THREEEE--YA-AWWWWWWW...!!!
{ Fiona looks like she just hit "Lose A Turn" on Wheel of Fortune, yet keeps marching forward. Lukas tries to counter a punch by blocking it, but all that does is give Fifi plenty of daylight to apply her dreaded kimura...which is again countered with a surprise roll-up out of nowhere! }Vasco Dias: This could be the end...
{Fiona struggles with the cover attempt…}1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
[DING-DING-DING!!!]

SEGMENT
”Paige Garcia on her title defense.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{“Over You” by Girlicious hits the speakers and out to an arousal of boos comes the Diamonds Champion and her sister Sara. They make their way to the ring, talking themselves up, and showing off the Diamonds Title for the crowd.}Terri Morasco: And here comes the Diamonds Champion.
Vasco Dias: The true Queen of the Diamonds...as is evident by that championship.
Terri Morasco: We haven’t heard anything about a challenger Vasco.
Vasco Dias: Who’s left? Who hasn’t she beaten between her Shieldmaiden and Diamonds Title reigns?
{The girls enter the ring and grab a microphone. Paige readjusts the title on her shoulder and waits for the booing to simmer.}Paige Garcia: It was 120 days ago that I beat Jessica Reed in the center of this ring for the lovely Diamonds Championship hanging over my shoulder. In that time I’ve taken on all challengers from my sister, to my mentor, to pretty much everyone in the back, and I’ve laid waste to all who have stood before me. So now I have to ask...who’s left? Maybe someone from the Diamond in the Rough Tournament? Maybe one of the new girls who came before that?
{She chuckles to herself.}Paige Garcia: Keep in mind that it makes no difference. I have transcended this division. I have helped take it to heights it didn’t even know it had. I’ve beaten Amber Richards in this ring. I’ve beaten Jessica Reed in this ring, and last month, I took out a Hall of Famer; and if you want to be technical I even have a victory over Ana Valentine...I should be in the damn Hall of Fame myself, and rest assure, I will be. I’ve taken down Hall of Famers, and I’ve beaten all of your precious do-gooders in the back. There’s nobody left, but I’ll do this…
{She looks over at her title.}Paige Garcia: Anyone in the back. Anyone at all who wants a shot at this belt...I’ll be at whatever the name of the next Pay Per View ends up being...and I’ll wait and see who shows up for a shot at glory. Just know...it’s not glory you’ll get...just a simple fifteen minutes of fame...if that.
{She drops the mic as “Over You” plays again and her and her sister leave, getting to the top of the stage where she holds her title in the air once more with a huge smile on her face before we cut to commercial.}OOC NOTE: This is for storyline purposes.----------------------------------------------------------
