Battle Grounds XXXVII: The Award Show

The show opens with a shot of the crowd, all cheering. The camera cuts to the ring, where Rick Christian stands on a podium, then leans towards the microphone

Rick Christian
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the IWF One Year awards show![/color]

The crowd cheers loudly for this

Rick Christian
We’ve got a lot of awards to give out, so we’re not going to waste any time. I’m going to present the first award, right here, right now!

Rick Christian reaches down under the podium and pulls out a trophy. He places it on the podium and then leans back into the microphone

Rick Christian
The IWF has had many wrestlers come and go throughout it’s year of existence. And while most of them are forgotten, there are a select few that stood out from the rest. They came in to the company, put their bodies on the line, and made sure that we’d never forget them.

Rick Christian pauses as the crowd applauds. He looks towards the fans, and then towards backstage.

Rick Christian
But there was one man who really put himself in a class above the rest. One who really showed what it meant to be an IWF superstar. His match with Aric Voss at Violent Impulse will never be forgotten. His rivalry with Upper Limit was, while unsuccessful, a great effort. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Newcomer of the Year award, Steel Angel!

Just then Warrior by Disturbed plays which gets the crowd riled up as Steel Angel arrives in his new Steel Angel T-Shirt which says "Heaven's Gladiator" on the front and features a armoured angel with a sword and shield. He is also wearing blue jeans as he poses to the crowd while they cheer for him. He walks down the entrance ramp, high fiving fans. He climbs into the ring and shakes hands with Rick Christian, before Rick hands him the award. Steel Angel waves at the crowd until his music dies off. He waits a moment for the fans to calm down before he speaks.

Steel Angel
Well this quite a shocking moment for me personally, I've been here for almost half a year now and I've already been involved in some really great matches. I've carried main events; I've been a champion just two weeks when I arrived. I've made history by having one of the longest winning streaks in IWF, a streak that would later be broken by Brandon.

The crowd cheers as he takes a moment to think of what to say next.

Steel Angel
I've also been in some pretty heated match ups; alot of you remembered the Trip to Oblivion match against me and Aric Voss. It was considered to be one of the best matches in the PPV, overshadowing even the main event match.

Once again the crowd cheers.

Steel Angel
Now I have to admit that when I was nominated for this award, that I wasn’t going to win it. There were other nominees that I considered to be more worthy of this award, like Sean Libby, Stygian and Dan Alexander to name a few.

He takes a deep breath before continuing.

Steel Angel
However I seem to have top them all in the votes, I guess the main reason for that is, people believe that I am more than qualified for this award than they are. So from the bottom of my heart and soul, I thank you all for your support and thank you for this award.

The crowd cheers and starts chanting "Steel Angel" "Steel Angel" "Steel Angel".

Steel Angel
It is with great honor and pride that I accept this award, and you can count on me to keep going into next year. No matter the challenge, all I can tell you is BRING IT ON!

His music plays as he accepts the award while the crowd is on their feet chanting his name again and again. He begins to walk backstage as the show fades to the opening logo and video package.


Live from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada

The camera cuts to the announcer’s booth, where Rick Christian and Matt Biggars sit.

Rick – Can you believe we’re on year two now Matt?

Matt – No, I cant Rick. It’s crazy! And they said we wouldn’t last a month

Rick – Well look who’s laughing now!

Matt – This promises to be an exciting show, what a way to start off the new year!

Rick – We have so many awards lined up, and right now we’ve got our first match of the night!

The camera shows the ring, where Matt Rydell, the Ninja, and Masque stand. The referee pushes each man back to his corner before calling for the bell


Masque [vs] Matt Rydell [vs] The Ninja

[Ding Ding Ding!]

Ninja runs at Matt Rydell and immediately takes him down with a crossbody. Ninja stands up quickly and begins to kick at the legs of Masque. Ninja runs and jumps off of the second rope and hooks his legs around the head of Masque, taking him down with a flying headscissors. Ninja hops back up and runs over to Matt Rydell who is slowly standing up.

Rick – Ninja really getting some early offense in, we haven’t seen him do anything like this in a long time

Matt – Yeah, usually he just gets crushed

Ninja grabs onto the head of Matt Rydell, and spins him in the air, bringing him down on his neck.

Rick – The Way of the Ninja!

Ninja kips back up to his feet and runs towards Masque, who has just begun to stand up. Ninja tries to hit his finishing move on Masque, but it is blocked. Masque instead picks Ninja up on his shoulders and delivers a huge tombstone piledriver. Ninja’s skull bounces off of the canvas as his limp body falls to the mat.

Rick – Ooooh, all that momentum ended

Matt – That was a sickening tombstone piledriver by Masque

Masque stands up and stares down at Ninja for a moment. Masque walks over to Matt Rydell and picks him up onto his shoulder. Masque walks to the middle of the ring and hits a tombstone piledriver on Matt Rydell as well. Masque looks at both wrestler’s limp bodies as they lay on the mat. He grabs each one and picks them both up.

Rick – Uh oh, he’s got something sick planned

Matt – This man wants to hurt people, not just win

Masque picks both men up onto his shoulders and then stands in the middle of the ring. He then holds both men in front of him and jumps down onto his knees and delivers a double tombstone piledriver.

Rick – Double tombstone piledriver!

Matt – Both men down for the count!

Masque rolls over and covers Matt Rydell

-1-

-3-

[Ding Ding Ding!]

Heather Thompson – Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Masque!

Rick – Yikes, I would not want to fight this man

Matt – Nor I Rick…nor I

Masque immediately climbs out of the ring and walks backstage, as the referee checks on both Matt Rydell and the Ninja. The show fades to commercial with Ninja slowly getting to his feet, and the medical team rushing in to look at Matt Rydell.

The Presidential Pint

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The camera shows the ring, where the podium stands again.

Heather Thompson – Ladies and gentlemen. It is time for the show of the year award. Here to present the award, Matt Biggars!!

Matt – Oh! That’s me!

Rick – Why are you so surprised? You were told this before the show.

Matt – Nuh uh!

Matt leaves the announce table and slides into the ring.

Matt Biggars.
A whole year with so many great shows. But one stands above the rest and I must admit that I fully understand this. This certain show was so good that I was sober during the entire time as I watched it! Something I have never ever done before and never done again since then. Yes, I am always high behind that announce table and I like it! And apparently so do you.

“Shut the fuck up!”
“Shut the fuck up!”
“Shut the fuck up!”

Matt Biggars.
What? You guys have the meanypants on tight. I thought we were friends. But I see how it is. The show of the year was Battle Grounds: XVIII Title Turmoil. And here to accept the award is... wait.. Rick!!! Who is gonna accept the award?

Rick – God damn Matt

Rick stands up with a mic in his hand.

Rick Christian.
Here to accept the award is Johnny Electric.

Johnny walks onto the stage and down the ramp. The lights suddenly turn off as a slow guitar intro starts to play. Blue smoke fills the stage and search lights turn on and the race around the crowd keeping up with the guitar intro. The guitar intro gets more fast paced and so do the search lights. One light stops when it hits Johnny and it turns red. Johnny looks confused. Suddenly all the lights stop.

“Heeeeeeeey!!”

The arena goes pitch black. For a moment not a single sound is heard until..

“KAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

The fans go absolutely insane has the song comes back on and golden pyro shoots from the titantron.

I tear on the leash
That keeps me contained and controlled
Let me go, I want to break free
And fight my way out of this hole

From the under stage a figure rises above the smoke. A hoodie hides his face. The man lowers his head, grabs the hoodie and throws it over his head. He throws his arms to the side and the smiling face of Jason Hawk is revealed.

One last hope
To rise and break away
Above the fading line
Way beyond the ties that bind
This I know
The risk is worth the gain
It's worth the sacrifice
Way beyond the ties that bind

He walks down the ramp and high-fives some fans on his way down to the ring. Jason smiles at Johnny as he passes by him and slides into the ring. Jason is handed a mic from Matt and they hug. Jason lets go of the hug. For a while he just stands in the middle of the ring and lets it sink in.

Jason Hawk.
KAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Hai! God, I missed this.

The fans keep chanting.

Jason Hawk.
So let me ask you a question. Why were you gonna give Johnny an award for my show? I was the GM at the time! I arranged the entire thing! I think just that is proof enough that I should be the GM again. Rick should just fire Johnny and re-hire me! Jokes Johnny. You are doing a decent job.. I guess.

Jason shrugs.

Jason Hawk.
Iunno.. But wow.. show of the year. I guess there are a whole lot of people I have to thank.

Jason chuckles.

Jason Hawk.
Jokes. I just wanna thank myself for being such a genious. I wanna thank myself for booking such an amazing card and making the show happen. Actually, when I think about it. Why am I thanking myself? You should all thank me for giving you such an awesome show.

Jason holds the mic out towards the crowd.

“Thank you Jason!”
“Thank you Jason!”
“Thank you Jason!”

Jason laughs.

Jason Hawk.
And one more thing. Ted Anderson, Angelo Darkness, and Jackky Dane. You guys kill all. Especially Bumbaclots. You guys did a very good job on killing King Bumbaclot Casey! Now give me that trophy!

Matt hands Jason the trophy. Jason drops the mic and raises the trophy. Jason then exits the ring and backs up the ramp. Heather Thompson stands in the ring as the crew moves the podium out of the ring.

Heather Thompson – Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is set for one fall, and it is a tag team match! Introducing first…

The lights go out as the opening strain of 'Firebreather' by Thrice plays out over the speakers. They burst back on, accompanied by a wall of flame at the top of the ramp as the song kicks in, revealing Ruben Ricardo León sat on the stage, cross legged, his head bowed.

As the lyrics begin, he slowly lifts himself to his feet and stares at the ring, a look of pure concentration in his eyes.

Tell me are you free
Tell me are you free
In word or thought or deed
Tell me are you free
While the gallows stand

He begins to walk to the ring at a measured pace, never moving his gaze from the ring in front of him.

Heather Thompson – From Villahermosa Mexico, Ruben Ricardo Leon!

And bullets lance the bravest lungs
We fold our hands and hold our tongues

At the bottom of the ramp, he stops briefly and shakes his body to loosen the muscles.

Tell me are you free
When the fear falls in you
Tell me are you free
When the fear falls in you

Ruben climbs the steps to the ring and through the middle rope before moving over to the far turnbuckle. He climbs it, stares in to the crowd for a couple of seconds, and then suddenly roars, throwing his arms out to the side, causing red, white and green pyrotechnics to explode from the three other turnbuckles.

And bullets lance the bravest lungs
Will I fold my hands or hold my tongue

Finally, he leaps backwards off the turnbuckle, backflipping and landing in the centre of the ring.

Rick – Ruben hasn’t really looked himself lately, have you noticed?

Matt – Of course I have, I notice everything

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOWWWW

-Drums beat loudly and lights change color each beat and Sean Libby comes out at the last beat-

Heyy Miss Murder can I?
Heyy Miss Murder can I?
Mayy beauty stay if I
Take my life? Hooo

-Libby raises his hands in the air and walking down the ramp smiling cockly-

Hey Miss Murder can I?
HEY Miss Murder can I?
Mayy beauty stay if I
Take My life? Hooo


Heather Thompson – And his partner, the Irishman, Sean Libby!

-Libby hops onto the side of ring-

Which is the look?
They shook?

-Libby jumps over the ropes to enter the ring-

And heavens bow before him
Simply a look, can break, your heart

-Libby walks to the bottom right turnbuckle and looks at the crowd smirking-

The stars that pierce the sky
He left them all behind
Were left to wonder why?
He left us all behind?!

-Libby jumps off the turnbuckle and climbs the ropes and humps the rope and shouts at the crowd-

Heyy Miss Murder can I?
Heyy Miss Murder can I?
Mayy beauty stay if I?
Take my life? Hooo

-Libby gets off the ropes and walks to the center of the ring-

Ho

Rick – This match means a lot to Sean

Matt – He’s had a lot of beef with Robbie lately, who calls himself “the greatest High Impact Champion of all time”

Rick – I think he might be. He stumbled last week, but still

Matt – We’ll see about that Rick

Heather Thompson – And their opponents…

The lights in the jarring anticipating arena, switch instantly to black. The voice of a woman creeps itself over the P.A. system...

"The poor stay poor, the rich get richer It's just so disproportionate"

The heavy rhythm of "Above the Law" by Bad Meets Evil takes the place of the Women's soft voice, as a highlight package of Robbie Hart begins to play on the screen of the Jumbo Tron. The crowd motion in the crowd resembles that of a "wave"... as the crowd all rise to their feet, directing all eyes to the entry way.

"Sometimes life seems so unfortunate ...
That's why I don't give a shit ...
The poor stay poor, the rich get richer ...
It's just so disproportionate ...
You don't know just what I go through ...
That's why I would rather show you ...
Just how far that I can take it ...
Every rule, I'm breakin' it ..."

A figure comes shooting up from the bottom of the stage, as "The Degenerate King" stomps his way onto the entrance ramp, causing a huge hurl of cheer's from the audience in attendance. The crowd stand in shock, trying desperatly to get a view of The son of a legend.

"Tear-able, but not rip-able, invincible, I hung invisible ...
Fuckin' mistletoe all over the world, I stuck my ass up under it ...
Now pucker up them lips and kiss it hoes ...
Here we go, Bad and Evil so you know how this'll go ...
The competition's miserable, we stomp them bitches this is no, joke ...
Goin' overboard like someone threw us off the boat, choke ...
Cough from all the smoke, I'm tryna stay on fire ...
So you know if I hate fucking water sprinklers, I don't love the hose ...
Someone let the cat out the bag, now it's time to stuff his face ...
Back in that bitch, smother that little motherfucker 'til it suffocates ...
You! had long enough of a wait ..."

Robbie Hart stands, still taking in the reaction of the crowd. An evil grin begins to spread itself from ear to ear, as he stedily begins to make his way down the entrance ramp. Strutting himself with ozing confidence, Robbie does a slow spin for the IWF cameras to take his figure in, as the flash bulbs shine off the High Impact Championship.

"Could never be no damn wuss or pussy, never mushy, so you can't squish ...
Nowhere near a toosh, in fact if I jump out a bush ...
In a sneak attack's the only way I say I am-Bush ...
Outlandish, these words are weapons that I brandish ...
Stand-offish to hoes, keep your hands off this ...
Can't top it, so what the fuck would I sugarcoat it for?
Law? Fuck protocol, I'd holla at this ho, but now my throat is sore ..."

He pauses halfway down the aisle, as Blue and white trails of pyro blasts themselves into the rafters of the errupting arena. Robbie takes this time to pound his chest, boasting the Cheer's from the fans

"Sometimes life seems so unfortunate ...
That's why I don't give a shit ...
The poor stay poor, the rich get richer ...
It's just so disproportionate ...
You don't know just what I go through ...
That's why I would rather show you ...
Just how far that I can take it ...
Every rule, I'm breakin' it ..."

Sliding into the ring, Robbie rushes himself to the corner of the ring, mounting the turnbuckle as he does so. He pulls the arm straps of his singlet from his shoulders with a forceful tug, before raising his hands holding up the High Impact Championship. Camera flashes light up the dark arena, as it is now hard to seperate the screams of his fans.

Heather Thompson - Introducing next... from Las Vegas NV... standing six feet tall, weighing in at One hundred and seventy three pounds... The Current IWF HIGH IMPACT CHAMPION! He is the self proclaimed "The Degenerate King" ... Ladies and Gentlemen, Robbie... HAAARRRTTTT!!!!!

Robbie leaps from the turnbuckle, and now begins to circle the ring... looking to all parts of the rattling arena. A laugh of pleasantry escapes him, as he hits the ropes, loosening himself up.

"Sometimes life seems so unfortunate ...
That's why I don't give a shit ...
The poor stay poor, the rich get richer ...
It's just so disproportionate ...
You don't know just what I go through ...
That's why I would rather show you ...
Just how far that I can take it ...
Every rule, I'm breakin' it ..."

Robbie now moves himself to the edge of the ring, where he begins to eye down his pray. Slithering through the ring like a snake, he stands in the center of the ring, as a single spotlight beams down onto his frame, spotlighting the The Pretty Boy

As the song fades out, it is replaced by a cheering crowd. The lights in the arena kick back on, as the smoke from Robbie's pyro clouds up the arena entrance, and ring. Robbie backs himself to the nearest corner of the ring, and leaning back, props his arms onto the ropes, and places a look of arrogance on his face with a sly smile towards his foe. The fans chant hard for him, but Robbie pays no mind, and moves his focus towards his opponent in the ring.

Rick – Here he is, the greatest High Impact Champ of all time!

Matt - …Okay Rick, settle down

Kill me with a beat

The sound of “Do You Call My Name?” by Ra roars out of the house speakers as a single light turns on at the top of the stage. The light is shining up from beneath the entrance stage, shining upwards, casting a single lone figure in a bright light. The figure is standing with his back to the ring and is wearing a black sleeveless hooded robe with the hood pulled up. On the back of the robe is “The Punisher” logo. As the guitar riff kicks in, fireworks erupt from under the stage on either side

Some people seem to think they always know what's best for you
Their little minds try to create a world to keep you still
The bolt is thrown, the cage is locked
You saw this, don't you lie
At first you cry and then you hate those people stole your will...

Do as you are told and maybe then they'll let you out
You might be dead and cold, you might be full of doubt
Don't try to escape cuz you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate... there's no scenario
No nothing

The figure slowly turns around and reaches up and takes down his hood, revealing the slightly smirking face of Corey Casey

Do you call my name
Do you stain my brain
My eyes are blurry and I can't see you anymore
Do you call my name
Do you breed my pain
My heart is bloody and I can't take it anymore

Corey Casey begins to walk down the entrance ramp and toward the ring. He reaches out and slaps the outstretched hands of some of the fans on either side of the isle

Heather Thompson – And his partner, the one, the only, Corey Casey!

So you just sit there, stuck, afraid to risk reality
Afraid to cause yourself more pain, to face insanity
But nothing ventured, nothing gained
You see... your fear's your cage
You beg for help but you're alone, stuck in a helpless rage

Do as you are told and maybe then they'll let you out
You might be dead and cold, you might be full of doubt
Don't try to escape cuz you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate... there's no scenario
(it's me.... I see, please... let me out I'm petrified)

Corey Casey hops up on the ring apron and ducks in between the second and third rope as he enters the ring. He then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and holds his clenched fists straight out to either side

Do as you are told and maybe then they'll let you out
You might be dead and cold, you might be full of doubt
Don't try to escape cuz you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate... there's no scenario
(C'mon)

Do you call my name
Do you stain my brain
My eyes are blurry and I can't see you anymore
Do you call my name
Do you breed my pain
My heart is bloody and I can't take it anymore

Corey Casey hops down from the turnbuckle and stares across the ring. His smirk widens a bit as he stares confidently at his opponents…

Rick – Corey Casey looks awfully confident tonight

Matt – Of course he does, he’s Corey Casey!

The referee motions for the starting two to come forward. Corey Casey and Sean Libby step out of their corners as the referee calls for the bell.


Corey Casey & Robbie Hart [vs] Ruben Ricardo Leon & Sean Libby

[Ding Ding Ding!]

Corey Casey tries to run and grab onto Sean Libby, but he ducks under Corey Casey’s grasp and hits the ropes behind him. Sean Libby rebounds and hits a flying crossbody on Corey Casey that knocks him to the ground. Sean Libby hops back up to his feet as Corey Casey stands up. Sean Libby runs at him, throwing kick after kick, as Corey Casey retreats to the ropes in defense.

Rick – Sean Libby is exploding on Corey here early!

Matt – Sean really exploded last week on both these guys, but it’s Robbie he has the real problem with

Corey Casey waits for a moment when Sean Libby stops kicking him. When he does, Corey Casey grabs Sean Libby by the throat and pushes him back into the corner. Corey Casey begins to punch away at the head of Sean Libby, as he desperately puts his hands up to block the punches being thrown. Corey Casey eventually stops and shoves Sean Libby into the corner. Corey Casey takes a few steps back and then charges at Sean Libby.

Rick – Now Corey is getting angry

Matt – You won’t like him when he’s angry!

Sean Libby ducks under a clothesline by Corey Casey, who runs into the turnbuckle. Sean Libby jumps and spin kicks Corey Casey in the back of the head, knocking him to the mat. Sean Libby runs and bounces off of the ropes, before jumping and dropping a knee onto the face of Corey Casey, who rolls around on the mat in pain. Sean Libby walks over to Corey Casey and tries to pick him up.

Rick – Like that’s gonna happen, Corey is so fat

Matt – Hey he’s not fat! He’s just big-boned

Corey Casey slowly gets to his feet as Sean Libby tries to kick him again. Corey Casey instead catches the kick of Sean Libby and grabs him by the chest. Corey Casey lifts Sean Libby up in the air, before slamming him back down. Corey Casey begins to stomp on the body of Sean Libby, who tries to roll out of the way. Sean Libby slides out of the ring as Corey Casey tries to reach for him. Sean Libby jumps and grabs the head of Corey Casey, and brings in down with him. Corey Casey’s neck bounces off of the top rope and he falls back to the mat.

Rick – Ouch, nice move there by Sean

Matt – You think we’re even going to see Robbie or Sean in this match?

Rick – Oh I’m sure we’ll see them pretty soon

Matt – If you say so Rickster

Sean Libby slides back into the ring and climbs onto the top turnbuckle. Sean Libby waits for Corey Casey to stand up. When he does, Sean Libby jumps off of the turnbuckle and dropkicks Corey Casey in the chest, sending him flying right back to the mat across the ring. Sean Libby crawls over to Corey Casey and covers him

Rick – What a dropkick!

-1-

-2-

Corey Casey easily throws Sean Libby off of him.

Matt – Kickout!

Corey Casey gets to his feet as Sean Libby runs at him and punches and kicks him repeatedly. Corey Casey throws one right hook that stumbles Sean Libby briefly. Corey Casey uses this moment to run forward and hit a huge clothesline on Sean Libby and sends him to the mat. Corey Casey stands up and walks over to his corner before tagging Robbie Hart into the match.

Rick – Told you Robbie would get in to this match

Matt – Now he’ll finally get a chance to get revenge for what Sean did last week!

Robbie Hart immediately runs for Sean Libby, who quickly dives and tags Ruben Ricardo Leon in. Robbie Hart stares at Sean Libby, who smiles and shakes his head at him. Ruben Ricardo Leon climbs the turnbuckle and jumps off towards Robbie Hart, who sees him at the last second. Robbie Hart moves out of the way, and Ruben Ricardo Leon crashes hard to the mat.

Rick – Ruben crashes hard!

Matt – But he’ll recover, he’s all about risk and reward

Robbie Hart picks up Ruben Ricardo Leon and runs him hard into the turnbuckle. Robbie Hart begins to punch him in the face repeatedly, before throwing Ruben Ricardo Leon back down to the ground. From there Robbie Hart stomps on Ruben Ricardo Leon over and over.

Rick – You sure about that Matt?

Matt – Maybe not…

Robbie Hart picks up Ruben Ricardo Leon and lifts him up onto his shoulders. Robbie Hart then brings Ruben Ricardo Leon back down hard with a powerslam. Robbie Hart runs and climbs onto the turnbuckle . Robbie Hart jumps off backwards and performs a corkscrew 450 and lands knee first on the chest of Ruben Ricardo Leon. Instead of going for the pin, Robbie Hart runs and tags in Corey Casey

Rick – Robbie hits The Solution!

Matt – And now Corey’s in to finish it off!

Corey Casey enters the ring and picks up Ruben Ricardo Leon vertically. Corey Casey then brings him down with a huge suplex powerslam.

Rick – Purifier by Casey!

Sean Libby runs into the ring to try to attack Corey Casey. Robbie Hart charges in and grabs Sean Libby and lifts him up in the air. Robbie Hart twists and jumps sideways, causing the back of Sean Libby’s head to be slammed into the mat.

Matt – And Robbie just planted Libby with A Long Look!

Corey Casey goes for the cover on Ruben Ricardo Leon as Robbie Hart stares down at Sean Libby

-1-

-2-

-3-

[Ding Ding Ding!]

Heather Thompson – Here are your winners, the team of Corey Casey and Robbie Hart!

Rick – What a win for what’s left of Upper Limit

Matt – Sure was. They get some much needed momentum for their team, which seems to be falling apart lately.

Corey Casey stands up and grabs the hand of Robbie Hart and holds it to the sky. They climb the turnbuckles and celebrate as Ruben Ricardo Leon and Sean Libby slowly exit the ring as the show fades to a video package

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The camera shows Chad Mason sitting in his locker room. He’s holding his briefcase in one hand, and a trophy in the other

Chad Mason
Well I guess I should thank all of you. According to you, me winning the Battle for the Briefcase Tournament was the most shocking moment of the year. Really? Do you really think it was that shocking? Do you really think I’m that terrible?

Chad Mason takes a deep breath and refocuses

Chad Mason
That’s fine. You can all think what you want. I know that I’m better than that. I know that I deserved to win that tournament, and that I’m going to become the IWF Champion one day. But still nobody respects me. So I’ve decided to make people respect me. I’m going to show people that I’m not just a big joke.

Chad Mason looks at his briefcase

Chad Mason
This allows me to make one match per week. So I’m going to use it to prove myself. At Spring Fling, I’m going to use my briefcase to make one match for myself. I haven’t decided who it will be against yet, but I’m going to use that match to prove to everyone that I’m for real and that I will become the IWF Champion one day.

The segment fades to black as Chad Mason grins at the camera.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The show returns with Johnny Electric standing in the ring at the podium.

Johnny Electric
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for another award presentation!

The crowd cheers as Johnny Electric smiles

Johnny Electric
This year saw tons of rivalries between so many different people. Some lasted months, some only weeks. Some were over titles, some over relationships. But there was really one rivalry that everyone will remember for years to come. I think you all know which one I’m talking about. Not only was it extremely personal, involving both wrestler’s girlfriends, who were also related to the other wrestler, but it culminated in one of the greatest matches in IWF history.

The crowd cheers loudly in anticipation of the announcement.

Johnny Electric
Ladies and gentlemen, to accept the award for Hottest Rivalry of the Year, on behalf of both himself and the late Chuck Matthews, please welcome Brandon Macdonald!

The lights in the arena go out, and Beast and the Harlot begins to play over the loudspeakers. Brandon Macdonald walks out from backstage, wearing a red and white suit, as the crowd cheers loudly

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.

Brandon Macdonald continues to walk down the entrance ramp, soaking in the crowd. Brandon high fives some fans and poses for a few pictures.

There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.

Brandon Macdonald slides into the ring and walks to the center. He holds his arms out, motioning for the crowd to get louder. He grins as they continue to cheer loudly for him

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink
the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

Brandon Macdonald walks over to the podium and shakes Johnny’s hand. He grabs the trophy and holds it up to the sky as the crowd erupts

Brandon Macdonald
Man it’s been way too long since I’ve been here. I missed all of you. Did you guys miss me?

The crowd all chants yes as Brandon Macdonald laughs

Brandon Macdonald
Alright, but seriously. This award means a lot, so thank you. That thing with Chuck, it was hard. A lot harder than people might think. I mean, he was dating Anna, and she was attacking me. And even though I did cheat on Anna, I still loved her. So it was hard to deal with that. I’m just glad I got rewarded for it. So thanks to everyone who voted for us

The crowd cheers loudly as Brandon Macdonald holds the trophy in the air again

Brandon Macdonald
Oh, and I’d like to thank Chuck, even though he’s not with us. As much of an asshole you were during all the time I knew you, this award wouldn’t have been possible without you dude. So this one’s for you Chuck. Rest in peace

Brandon Macdonald waves to the crowd as he walks out of the ring, holding his trophy. He poses for some more pictures as he walks up the ramp, as Battle Grounds goes to a commercial.

The Deadliest Catch: the best show to watch when you’re hungover….because THE SAME SHIT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

----------------------------------------------------------

The show comes back from commercial to show the inside of the Bell Centre. All of a sudden the lights go out

Rick- What the hell?

Matt- I have no idea…

The lights remain off for a few moments before suddenly turning back on…revealing Death-Angel, who is standing in the middle of the ring. Death-Angel is carrying an award and a microphone in his right hand and a notecard in his left hand

Rick- Death-Angel?!

Matt- Can he even talk?! How is he going to present an award?!

Death-Angel slowly brings the microphone up to his mouth

Death-Angel
And now…the winner of the “Holy Shit Moment of the Year”…

Death-Angel glances quickly down at the notecard in his left hand. A smile slowly spreads across his face

Death-Angel
Sean Libby and his double cell leg drop!

Sean Libby’s amazing double cell leg drop at From The Ashes begins to display on the titantron’s screen as the audience applauds wildly.

“Hey Miss. Murder can I?”

Sean Libby jumps out of the backstage area and raises his hands in the air

Rick- I have to admit, Sean Libby has been around this industry for a long time…

Matt- So?

Rick- So?! So it’s only been here in IWF that Sean Libby has truly come into his own and become a real threat to the top tier contenders!

Sean Libby ducks into the ring and goes over to Death-Angel. The two men stare at each other for a moment before Death-Angel holds out the award, which Sean Libby quickly takes

Sean Libby
Wow... This is awesome. I honestly can’t even believe I won the holy shit moment of the YEAR!

The crowd cheers loudly Sean

Sean Libby
You know. A lotta guys back there, they think I'm a loner, and I'm a freak. I know its cause I don't talk to you all much anymore, but you know, I'm happy I can talk to you people again.

The crowd roars in cheers

Sean Libby
Back at From the Ashes oh man was it a classic. I honestly thought, I was going to botch that move and kill myself. But instead I crushed VVR’s wind pipe! How bout that?!

Sean points at the crowd and they respond in cheers

Sean Libby
People wanna know. Does the Libbeh still got it?

"You still got it”
*CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP*
"You still got it”
*CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP*

Sean Libby
Your damn right! Hart! Listen up…cause I’m only going to say this once! You better watch your back buddy...cause that High Impact Championship would like mighty good around my waist! And you will all see that the Libbeh, even if I lose, I'll prove I still got it! See ya later!

Sean Libby raises his arms in the air again and walks backstage with his award in his hand. The camera pans over and shows Rick Christian and Matt Biggars, who are sitting behind the announcer’s table

Rick- Well, a very strong speech from Sean Libby

Matt- Talk about a big night for Libby! Not only did he push both members of Upper Limit almost to their breaking point…not only did he win the “Holy Shit Moment of the Year”…but he also laid down a challenge to Robbie Hart for the High Impact Championship at Spring Fling!

Rick- It’s a busy night for “The Libby” eh?

Matt- “Eh?” Really Rick? Going native on me?

Rick- IT’S JUST SO HARD NOT TO SAY!

The camera pans over to show Heather Thompson, who is standing in the middle of the ring. Standing next to Heather Thompson is Ashley Matthews, who is wearing a referee’s shirt. Ashley also has the new Blood Championship slung over her right shoulder

Heather Thompson- The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first…the Special Guest Referee…From Miami, Florida…She is the New Blood Champion…Ashley Matthews!

Ashley Matthews smirks as she tosses her hair and proudly pats the New Blood Championship

Rick- Ashley looks pretty confident

Matt- And why shouldn’t she? She’s the New Blood Champion and managed to weasel her way out of her match last week!

Smoke in the shades of the Venezuelan flag billow from backstage as pyro of the same colors shoot from along the entrance stage and ramp leading to the ring. Suddenly "Turn My Swag On" by Keri Hilson, Teyana Taylor, and Lil Kim hits the air waves as Serai Leone's titantron hits the screen pulsating to the tempo. Soon after we see Serai and her manager Lya Batiste-Jax come out on the stage waving and smiling to the fans before running down and sliding into the ring.

Heather Thompson- From Caracas, Venezuela…Weighing in at 124 pounds…Serai Leone!

Serai Leone walks right over to Ashley Matthews and gets in her face. The two women stare at each other coldly

Rick- The tension between these two is palpable!

Matt- Well, Anna Stone believes she should be involved in the New Blood Title match at Spring Fling and Ashley clearly agrees…

Rick- Long story short: Serai Leone is getting fucked over by the team of Anna Stone and Ashley Matthews!

Ashley Matthews slowly lifts the New Blood Championship up high in the air as a smirk spreads across her face. Serai Leone shakes her head as Serai Leone points to her own waist

Heather Thompson- And her opponent…

"Unleash the warrior within!"

Pyro sets off from both sides on the entrance ramp in the form of a pair of angel wings with the words "Heaven's Gladiator" appearing in crystal blue letters on the titantron. A single platform can be seen being lowered at the ramp revealing a lone figure standing at the center. He is wearing a white and blue warrior tunic with angel designs decorated on the back and a gold cross shape tapestry on the front. His long black hair flows in the air revealing his face as he stares at the crowd before him.

Heather Thompson- From San Diego, California…Weighing in at 245 Pounds…Steel Angel!

Rick- Steel Angel took care of business last week…kinda…

Matt- well he earned the victory that’s for sure…however after the match things got a bit…weird…

A clip from last week’s show begins to roll

---------------------------------------------

Last Week: Battle Grounds XXXVI

Steel Angel Irish whips Masque to the ring ropes while Steel Angel runs to the ropes on the other side of the ring. Steel Angel then jumps off the second rope, executing a phoenix splash motion. Meanwhile, Masque hits the ropes on the other side of the ring and comes running back towards Steel Angel. Steel Angel grabs Masque's head and drives Masque down to the canvas with a complete shot

Rick- Skyward Breakdown!

Matt- Game over!

Steel Angel quickly hooks Masque’s legs as the ref counts

-1-

-2-

-3-

The ref calls for the bell

[Ding, Ding, Ding!]

Heather Thompson- Here is your winner…Steel Angel!

Steel Angel gets to his feet as he nods his head and holds his clenched fists up into the air

Rick- Alright…I’ll admit it…that was definitely a hard fought victory for Steel…

Matt- Steel Angel has been kicking around for awhile now and his veteran instinct was just too much for Masque to handle

Steel Angel walks over and climbs up the nearest turnbuckle and raises his clenched fists up in victory. Suddenly the lights go out and red strobe lights begin to flash throughout the arena

Rick- Now what?

Matt- Look in the ring!!

In the ring, Masque slowly sits up, a demonic smile etched into his features. Masque gets to his feet and walks over to where Steel Angel is standing, still facing the crowd. Steel Angel slowly turns around and sees Masque walking towards him. Steel Angel leaps off the turnbuckle, looking to connect a cross body block

Rick- Steel trying to take the offense here!

Matt- I don’t know about this…

Masque catches Steel Angel and holds him up for a second. Masque then shifts Steel Angel so that Steel Angel is in the tombstone piledriver position. Masque then powers Steel Angel down to the canvas with a tombstone piledriver. Steel Angel’s entire body goes rag doll

Rick- What a sick piledriver!

Matt- Did you see Steel’s body just go limp?!

The red strobe lights suddenly vanish, plunging the entire arena into darkness. When the lights come back on, Masque is nowhere to be seen. Steel Angel, however, is lying motionless in the center of the ring. The camera zooms in on Steel Angel’s motionless body

---------------------------------------------

The shot cuts back to the present moment and zooms in on Steel Angel, who is rubbing the back of his neck absent mindedly. A look of anger flashes across his features as he watches the replay up on the titantron

Rick- Masque certainly left Steel Angel lying last week

Matt- And I get the feeling it’s not…

“Watch Your Words” by Alter Bridge suddenly blasts out of the house PA system and Chad Mason walks out on stage

Rick- Now what?!

Matt- Now we’re going to be joined by the IWF Championship Briefcase holder that’s what!

Chad Mason walks slowly down the ramp, ignoring the fans on either side of the isle. Steel Angel turns and stares at Chad Mason as Chad Mason walks around the outside of the ring. Chad Mason walks over to the announcer’s position and takes a seat

Chad- Hey guys!

Rick- Uh…hi Chad

Matt- What’s going on?

Chad- Just out here to take in what promises to be an entertaining match…provided Steel Angel manages to keep his shit together and doesn’t choke

Meanwhile, in the ring, Ashley Matthews walks over to the ring ropes and places the New Blood Championship on the ring apron. Ashley Matthews then calls for the bell


Special Guest Referee: Ashley Matthews
Steel Angel [vs.] Serai Leone

[Ding, Ding, Ding!]

Steel Angel and Serai Leone both walk out of their respective corners and meet in the center of the ring

Rick- The match up between Steel and Serai should be quite interesting

Matt- Yup! Steel is a high flyer while Serai is more of an MMA specialist…

Chad- She has shown that she likes to hit those high impact flying moves from time to time though

Steel Angel and Serai Leone lock up in the middle of the ring. Steel Angel immediately begins to over power Serai Leone, forcing Serai Leone down to one knee

Rick- I don’t know how smart of a move locking up with the much bigger Steel Angel was for Serai

Chad- She was probably banking on Steelio backing down like he did against Corey Casey

Matt- Woah….low blow Chad, low blow

Steel Angel quickly lashes out and delivers a kick to the gut of Serai Leone, causing Serai Leone to double over. Steel Angel immediately hooks Serai Leone’s head, looking for a DDT. Serai Leone suddenly reaches up and places a hand on Steel Angel’s chest. Serai Leone breaks free of the headlock and sweeps Steel Angel’s legs while shoving Steel Angel backwards.

Rick- Nice counter there by Serai!

Matt- Serai utilizing her MMA background there

Chad- And Steel Angel choking right there…but what else is new right?

Serai Leone leans down and grabs Steel Angel’s other leg, looking to lock Steel Angel in a sharpshooter. Steel Angel utilizes his leg strength though and drives his feet into Serai Leone’s chest, causing Serai Leone to stumble backwards. Steel Angel flips up to his feet and goes running at Serai Leone. Serai Leone ducks underneath Steel Angel’s clothesline attempt, causing Steel Angel to spring to the ropes. As soon as he gets close enough, Steel Angel leaps into the air and lands on the second rope. Steel Angel moonsaults backwards, sailing over Serai Leone. As Steel Angel sails over Serai Leone, Steel Angel hooks Serai Leone’s head. Steel Angel then lands behind Serai Leone, holding Serai Leone in the reverse DDT position. Steel Angel winks at the camera before driving Serai Leone down to the canvas with a reverse DDT

Rick- Nice move there by Steel

Chad- Yeah, yeah…

Steel Angel drops down and hooks Serai Leone’s leg. Ashley Matthews immediately drops down and begins quickly counting

-1-
-2-

Serai Leone manages to kick out

Rick- Did that count seem a little fast to you?

Matt- Dude…all of you seem fast to me…

Chad- That’s cause you’re baked, Matt

Steel Angel glances over at Ashley Matthews, who has a big smirk on her face. Steel Angel shrugs his shoulders and gets up to his feet

Rick- Steel doesn’t seem bothered that Ashley was a little quick to count on that pinfall

Matt- And why should he care? It’s to his advantage!

Steel Angel stands up…when suddenly the house lights go out. After a moment of darkness, red strobe lights begin to flash throughout the arena and the sound of a gong can be heard echoing from all around

Rick- What the fuck?!

Matt- It’s Masque!

Chad- Wait…who?

Steel Angel quickly begins to turn and look around the ring, ready for anything. Steel Angel turns his back on the fallen Serai Leone and begins to walk towards the ring ropes

Rick- Well…where is he?

Matt- I think Steel is wondering the same thing

Chad- I still don’t know who the hell Masque is guys…

Meanwhile, Serai Leone manages to drag herself up to her feet. Serai Leone rushes over to Steel Angel and, at the last second, Serai Leone drops down and delivers a chop block to the back of Steel Angel’s right knee. Steel Angel falls down to one knee, grabbing his leg in pain. Serai Leone then quickly steps on Steel Angel’s knee and delivers a crushing ensiguri to the back to Steel Angel’s skull, causing Steel Angel to collapse to the canvas

Rick- Serai Leone utilizing this distraction to her advantage

Chad- I’ve decided that this Masque guy is clearly either made up or he sucks because I have never heard of him nor do I care about him

Serai Leone drags Steel Angel away from the ropes before she drops down and attempts to pin Steel Angel. Ashley Matthews slowly walks over to Serai Leone and takes her time dropping down to count

-1…

Steel Angel manages to kick out

Rick- Ok, this officiating is a bit skeptical

Chad- Why? Ashley and Anna had a hellacious match last week

Matt- Wait…

Rick- WHAT MATCH?!

Chad- The verbal debate match that Ashley and Anna and that idiot announcer backstage were involved in duh!

Serai Leone leaps to her feet and begins to scream at Ashley Matthews while slapping her hands together. Ashley Matthews rolls her eyes and pretends to bite her nails, completely and totally ignoring Serai Leone

Rick- Ashley seems to be completely zoning Serai out

Chad- Serai needs to be careful, Ashley doesn’t take shit from nobody so Serai screaming at Ashley isn’t gonna end well

Serai Leone lets out one final scream before turning her attention back to Steel Angel. Serai Leone stomps down on Steel Angel’s legs and lower back a few times before dropping down and grabbing Steel Angel’s legs. Serai Leone sits on the canvas beside Steel Angel and places her right knee in the small of Steel Angel’s back. Serai Leone then folds Steel Angel’s legs up in a knot and pulls back on Steel Angel’s legs, applying pressure to the small of Steel Angel’s back

Rick- Nice submission hold here by Serai

Chad- I wonder how long it will take before Steelio pussies out

Matt- What do you have against Steel Angel, Chad?

Chad- He’s just such an overhyped douche! He hasn’t even won anything worth talking about! Meanwhile, I am the proud holder of the IWF Championship Briefcase! Now THAT’S what’s up!

Serai Leone cranks back on Steel Angel’s legs, driving her knee deep into Steel Angel’s spine. Steel Angel shakes his head, pain etched deep into his features. Ashley Matthews looks down at Serai Leone and shrugs before turning and walking over to the turnbuckle. Ashley Matthews hops up and takes a seat on the top turnbuckle and watches as Serai Leone continues to apply pressure to Steel Angel’s lower back

Rick- More biased officiating right here by Ashley!

Chad- Like I said, she’s tired from her match last week!

Matt- Yeah! Wait what?

Serai Leone looks up and sees that Ashley Matthews is sitting on the top turnbuckle. Serai Leone releases the submission hold and leaps to her feet. Serai Leone walks over to where Ashley Matthews is standing and begins to point at herself then down at Steel Angel. Ashley Matthews sighs and rolls her eyes as she shrugs her shoulders

Rick- This is just a complete and utter mockery of how this match was supposed to be

Matt- I agree

Chad- I kinda enjoy it!

Serai Leone suddenly reaches out and slaps Ashley Matthews. The force of the slap knocks Ashley Matthews off of her perch on the top rope and sends Ashley toppling down to the floor

Rick- Bye, bye Ashley!

Matt- Bummer

Chad- THIS IS A TRAVESTY! SERAI ATTACKEDA REFEREE! THIS CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND!

Serai Leone smirks as she turns around…and is immediately kicked right in the jaw by Steel Angel’s springboard headkick. Serai Leone is driven to the ground by the force of the kick.

Rick- Serai nearly got her head kicked off!

Matt- What a kick!

Steel Angel collapses to the canvas, holding his lower back. Both Steel Angel and Serai Leone roll on the canvas in pain. All of a sudden another referee comes running down the ramp and slides into the ring. the 2nd referee begins to count

-1-

-2-

-3-

-4-

Slowly, both competitors make their ways to the ring ropes and begin to pull themselves up

-5-

-6-

-7-

Both combatants make it to their feet before the count of 8. Steel Angel runs at Serai Leone and leaps into the air at the last second, catching Serai Leone with a heel kick. Steel Angel immediately leaps to his feet and then leans down and drags Serai Leone up to her feet as well. Steel Angel reels Serai Leone and sets her up in the powerbomb position. Steel Angel then lifts Serai Leone up but instead of setting Serai Leone on his shoulders, Steel Angel tosses Serai Leone up into the air. On her way back down, Steel Angel grabs the back of Serai Leone’s head and drives her face first into the canvas

Rick- Powerbomb facebuster!

Matt- Cool looking move there by Steelio!

Chad- …

Steel Angel gets to his feet and nods his head as he points to the sky. Steel Angel then brings his hands down in a snapping motion as he points down at Serai Leone

Rick- Steel Angel motioning that it’s time for the Skyward Breakdown here

Chad- As dumb as Steel is…the finisher name is kinda cool

Matt- Much cooler than the Mason Tackle…

Steel Angel leans down and drags Serai Leone up to her feet. Steel Angel Irish whips Serai Leone to one side then runs to opposite side of the ring. Steel Angel then jumps off 2nd rope doing a phoenix splash motion before grabbing Serai Leone's head and drives her down with a complete shot

Rick- And there it is!

Matt- The Skyward Breakdown!

Steel Angel collapses on top of Serai Leone and hooks her legs. The 2nd referee drops down and counts

-1-

-2-

-3-

The 2nd referee calls for the bell

[Ding, Ding, Ding!]

Heather Thompson- Here is your winner…Steel Angel!

Steel Angel gets to his feet and allows the 2nd referee to hold his hand aloft in victory

Rick- A hard fought victory for Steel

Chad- You know what, I agree!

Matt- Wait…you do?

Chad- Absolutely! In fact, I’m going to go and congratulate him!

Chad Mason suddenly leaps to his feet and throws his headset aside. Chad Mason grabs his briefcase and slides into the ring. Chad Mason then runs over to Steel Angel and blasts Steel Angel in the skull with the briefcase, causing Steel Angel to crumple down to the canvas

Rick- A cheap shot from behind by Chad Mason!

Matt- You can’t possibly be surprised, Rick. Chad was over here talking shit about Steel literally the entire match

Chad Mason begins to stomp down on Steel Angel, only pausing to scream at Steel Angel’s limp form. All of a sudden the lights go out and the red strobe lights once again begin flashing throughout the arena

Rick- Uh oh…

Matt- Not this again. Shit like this really harshes my high…

A massive form suddenly appears on the stage and begins to walk down the entrance ramp. The camera zooms in and shows the face of Masque as he walks down the entrance ramp and hops up onto the ring apron

Rick- Well…Chad Mason was wondering who Masque was…

Matt- I think Chad is about to find out first hand!

Masque climbs over the top rope and walks to the center of the ring. Chad Mason and Masque go toe to toe for a moment before Masque suddenly turns and looks down at the fallen Steel Angel. Chad Mason takes a step back and mockingly bows down, motioning toward Steel Angel

Rick- Chad Mason is avoiding this monster

Matt- As well he should!

Masque leans down and drags Steel Angel up to his feet. Masque then flips Steel Angel upside down and positions Steel Angel in the piledriver position. Masque then spikes Steel Angel down to the canvas with a massive tombstone piledriver

Rick- Tombstone Piledriver!

Matt- And for the 2nd week in a row Masque nearly snaps Steel Angel’s neck!

Masque laughs coldly as he looks down at Steel Angel’s motionless form. All of a sudden, Masque arches his back in pain as Chad Mason blasts Masque from behind with the championship briefcase. Masque slowly turns around….only to be smashed in the skull with the championship briefcase by Chad Mason

Rick- Chad Mason has gone crazy!

Matt- He’s now laid out Steel AND Masque!

Masque is driven to the ground by the force of the blow. Chad Mason walks over and drags Masque closer to Steel Angel. Chad Mason then places one of his feet on Steel Angel’s chest and his other foot on Masque’s chest.

The camera pans back over to show Rick Christian and Matt Biggars behind the announcer’s position

Rick- By the way, before we go to commercial here, I’ve just been informed that Brandon Macdonald and Chuck Matthews have officially won the “Match of the Season” award for their Throw in the Towel Match at Fallout!

Matt- A big time congratulations to both men!

Rick- Brandon really summed up the rivalry between Chuck and himself pretty well earlier in the night and this brutal match between these two men really went above and beyond any match that we’ve seen so far in IWF! So congratulations once again to those two!

The camera zooms in on Rick and Matt for a moment before fading to commercial

---------------------------------------------

You’ve seen Chuck Matthews as “The Sex Icon”…you’ve seen Chuck Matthews as “Hazard”…you’ve seen Chuck Matthews as an IWF Superstar…

But this summer…prepare to see Chuck Matthews as…



A ZOMBIE!

Message paid for by the “Chuck for Change in 2014” Super Pac

---------------------------------------------

The show comes back from commercial to show Steel Angel sitting on the Athletic Trainer’s table. A trainer is shining a flashlight in Steel Angel’s eyes and is testing Steel Angel for signs of a concussion. Javier Sanchez suddenly bursts into the room wielding a microphone

Javier Sanchez
Ladies and Gentlemen I’m here with Steel Angel and Steel, how do you feel right now after that vicious assault by both Chad Mason and Masque?

Steel Angel lunges forward and grabs the microphone out of Javier Sanchez’s hands

Steel Angel
So…Masque…you left me lying in a heap for the 2nd week in a row…congrats…you’ve just signed your fucking death warrant! At Spring Fling, why don’t I just make a clean sweep of my “people to beat into a bloody pulp” list? Hey Chad…Chad if you’re listening, I want you to hear this one loud and clear! I’m inviting you to Masque and I’s little party at Spring Fling. But the only thing is, if you want to join the fun…you have to agree to put up that nifty little IWF Championship Briefcase! Let’s see you talk shit now Chad!

The camera zooms out to show Chad Mason as he walks through the door of the trainer’s office. Chad Mason sprints over to Steel Angel and tackles Steel Angel to the ground. Chad Mason quickly grabs the championship briefcase and waits for Steel Angel to sit up. Chad Mason waits for Steel Angel to sit up before cocking back and blasting Steel Angel in the skull with the championship briefcase. Chad Mason smirks as he walks over to Steel Angel and says softly

Chad Mason
How’s that for an answer Steelio? See you at Spring Fling…

---------------------------------------------

The camera cuts back to the arena to show Rick Christian and Matt Biggars sitting behind the announcer’s position

Rick- Well…it seems that we’re getting all kinds of matches being proposed for Spring Fling!

Matt- I can’t wait for the Spring Fling Tour! It all kicks off in two weeks!

Rick- That’s right! The official Spring Fling Tour stops will be revealed next week on Battle Grounds so make sure you tune in folks!

The camera pans over to show Heather Thompson, who is standing in the middle of the ring

Heather Thompson- The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first…

The camera view is brought to the IWF Battle Grounds entrance ramp. Smoke comes up in front of the entrance curtain, as the lights slightly dim throughout the arena. All of a sudden the speakers turn on to a faint static. Then the voice of Rick Ross is heard.

AMBITION IS A WAY OF LIFE...
IT'S A MIND SET... FOLLOW ME...

"Tat's On My Arm" by Wale ft, Rick Ross begins to play. S.N.M steps out through the trail of smoke coming from the entrance, along side Sno' Bunny pushing a shopping cart filled with various weapons. He stands at the top of the entrance ramp for a moment, SNM is dressed in a red fitted cap, a white t shir, and a pair of blue jeans. Sno' Bunny is dressed in... well not much. They stand at the ramp for a moment.

Heather Thompson- At a combined weight of 377 Pounds… Sho’No Mercy and Sno’ Bunny!

Rick- SNM looking confident as always

Matt- Damn right he is

Rick- I don’t know why though…this is the guy who has successfully managed to piss off James Shark…

Matt- And a pissed off Sharky is NEVER a good thing…for anybody! Then again, if I had a grocery cart full of random shit to hit Sharky with, I’d be pretty confident too!

TAT'S ALL ON MY ARM... YA BITCH ALL ON MY MIND
I GOT STACKS ALL IN MY CHARM, MY GOLD ROLLY' TELL TIME...
IT'S MY AMBITION NIGGA!!
(That's My Ambition Nigga)
I'M JUST SO GIFTED NIGGA!!
(Look Where Dat' Shit Ill' Get Ya)

S.N.M starts to slowly push the shopping cart down the ramp with a slow paced street walk. The camera zooms in on the shopping cart. You notice that there is a baseball bat, a trash can lid, a vacuum cleaner, and a box of light-tubes, just to name a few items. Sno' Bunny follows behind SNM looking as good as ever.

Heather Thompson- Ladies and gentlemen…Making their way to the ring at this time…From Hollywood, California… "The Artist Of Arrogance" Sho’No Mercy An' Sno' Bunny!

Rick- Sno' Bunny looks lovely!

Matt- How about SNM, being on somewhat of an undefeated streak since he came to the IWF?

Rick- Let's see if he can deliver here tonight

I GOT TAT'S ALL ON MY ARM... THESE DREADS ALL IN MY EYES
I PUT THESE POEMS ALL IN MY SONGS, FOR THAT PAPER IMA' GRIND...
IT'S MY AMBITION NIGGA!!

S.N.M walks over to the ring, He tosses a few weapons from the trash can through into the ring. He then pushes the shopping cart a few feet to the side of him, and walks up the ring steps. Sno' Buuny stands outside on the ring apron

"I aint with the talking, see I'm just tryna focus
Cause the loudest nigga in the room is usually the brokest"

Sho' No Mercy climbs up the ring steps and then enters the ring.

Heather Thompson- And their opponents…

Uhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Na-Nothing New but the Money Uhhh
I do what I want to
Act how I want to
Say what I want to
Mack who I want to

James Shark walks out of the curtains nodding his head. He stands in the center and begins to flex and
spot out girls from the crowd, eyeing and winking at them. Anna Stone walks out from backstage and stands behind James Shark

Heather Thompson- First…From Ottawa, Ontario, Canada…Anna Stone! And her partner…From Brooklyn, New York…Weighing in at 170 Pounds…He is the IWF World Heavyweight Champion…James Shark!

Rick- And here comes Team Swag 2.0!

Matt- Anna Stone, the former wife of Brandon Macdonald, and the one and only incomparable James Shark are teaming up here tonight to take on the team of SNM and Sno’ Bunny!

Rick- And you can literally almost FEEL the hatred between SNM and James Shark!

Matt- SNM has been riding Shark for weeks now, getting under the skin of the IWF Champ and, more importantly, getting into the head of Sharky

When it comes to cars, I do it big
When it comes to money, I do it big
When it comes to gyaldems, I do it big
Whenever I do something, I do it big

James Shark walks a few steps down the ramp but again stops, this time to pose for the cameras flashing
off his confident smile.

Man its good, I got to be a gift and a curse
Cause I`m feeling my best and yall feeling your worst.
Simply means, somebody gonna get hurt.
No pain felt here unless yall feelin it first.
Don`t fuck with me, I mean you should know.
I'm getting dressed up cause I might be, going to a funeral.

James Shark stops and continues to walk down the ramp, he makes it to the front of the ring, he walks around it eyeing the ref giving him a dirty look.

No stopping me, thats unlikely
Why, when I can just do it like Nike
Men, yeah they want to be like me.
Cause the girls want to creep with me nightly.
Ladies, yeah I`m single, but I`m far from the wedding thing.
But I have married women switching up their wedding ring.
And I`ll take on anybody for the right price.
If you really want to know, really how my life`s like..

James Shark gets to where the announce table is and begins to talk shit to the announce crew before making his way over to the stairs and climbing up towards the ring.

(manicure) check
(masseuse) check
(girls) check
And I demand my respect
I do what I want to
act how I want to
say what I want to
act how I want to
mack who I want to

James Shark gets into the ring and continues to eye down the ref, he bumps into him hard almost causing the ref to stumble over, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and again begins to eye the ladies in the crowd

When it comes to cars, I do it big
When it comes to money, I do it big
When it comes to gyaldems, I do it big
Whenever I do something, I do it big.

James Shark jumps off the turnbuckle and begins to say some words to the ref, almost threatening him before going over to the turnbuckle across from him as the music fades away. James Shark and Anna Stone walk over to their corner and discuss for a few moments before James Shark ducks outside of the ring. At the same time, Sho’No Mercy ducks outside of the ring, leaving Anna Stone and Sno’ Bunny to start the match off. The ref looks at both women and nods before calling for the bell


Sho’No Mercy and Sno’ Bunny [vs.] James Shark and Anna Stone

[Ding, Ding, Ding!]

Anna Stone and Sno’ Bunny lock up in the middle of the ring. Anna Stone manages to gain the early advantage and traps Sno’ Bunny in a side headlock. Sno’ Bunny struggles in the move for a few moments before managing to shove Anna Stone off of her. Anna Stone runs to the ring ropes on the opposite side of the ring and bounces off of them, gaining momentum. Anna Stone then comes running back at Sno’ Bunny and, when she gets close enough, Anna Stone leaps into the air and drills Sno’ Bunny with a flying leg lariat

Rick- Anna Stone coming out fast here in the opening moments of this match

Matt- Anna Stone has proven to be an effective competitor when she steps into the ring. I think Sno’ Bunny and SNM might be in for more than they bargained for tonight

Anna Stone leans down and drags Sno’ Bunny up to her feet. Anna Stone then quickly and deftly kicks Sno’ Bunny in the gut, doubling Sno’ Bunny over. Anna Stone then grabs Sno’ Bunny and drills Sno’ Bunny with a northern lights suplex which Anna Stone then bridges into a pin

-1-

-2…

Sno’ Bunny barely manages to kick out

Rick- Only 2

Matt- Yeah but it looked like Sno’ Bunny is clearly going to be the weak link. Sharky and Anna both need to target her tonight

Anna Stone gets to her feet and walks over to James Shark and whispers something. James Shark nods his head and laughs as Anna Stone turns and walks back over to Sno’ Bunny. Anna Stone leans down and drags Sno’ Bunny up to her feet. Anna Stone Irish whips Sno’ Bunny right into the corner turnbuckle nearest James Shark. Sno’ Bunny drills the corner turnbuckle chest first. James Shark quickly grabs Sno’ Bunny’s wrists and holds her in the turnbuckle while Anna Stone takes two steps backwards and then comes sprinting right for Sno’ Bunny. As soon as she gets close enough, Anna Stone leaps into the air and connects a vicious body splash right on Sno’ Bunny’s exposed back

Rick- A big time splash there by Anna Stone

Matt- And I don’t think she’s done yet!

Anna Stone quickly lands on her feet and wraps her arms around Sno’ Bunny’s waist. Anna Stone then lifts Sno’ Bunny up and as if she were going to nail Sno’ Bunny with a German suplex. But, instead of releasing Sno’ Bunny, Anna Stone rolls backwards, her arms still clutched around Sno’ Bunny’s waist. The two women end up in a vertical position again and Anna Stone quickly finishing connecting the rolling German suplex which she then bridges into a pin

Rick- Brilliant move by Anna!

Matt- This could be it!

The ref drops down and begins to count

-1-

-2-

Sho’No Mercy manages to lean in between the ropes and, while still clutching onto the tag rope, he manages to tag Sno’ Bunny’s foot

Rick- SNM tagging himself into this match up…

Matt- And forcing Anna to break up the pin! A brilliant strategy!

Rick- I’m not quite sure that was “strategy” there Matt…

Sho’No Mercy quickly leaps into the ring and stomps down hard on Anna Stone’s exposed stomach. Sho’No Mercy continues stomping on Anna Stone’s chest and arms as Sno’ Bunny rolls out of the ring

Rick- SNM is really putting the boots to Anna

Matt- Dog…SNM looks PISSED!

Sho’No Mercy leans down and drags Anna Stone up to her feet. Sho’No Mercy Irish whips Anna Stone to the ring ropes. Anna Stone hits the ring ropes and comes running back towards Sho’No Mercy. When she gets close enough, Anna Stone leaps into the air and lands on Sho’No Mercy’s shoulders. Anna Stone tries to use her momentum to execute a hurricanranna but Sho’No Mercy manages to grab onto her legs, effectively cutting off her attempt. Sho’No Mercy then lifts Anna Stone up into the air in the powerbomb position and then throws her down to the canvas with a vicious jackknife powerbomb

Rick- Jesus Christ!

Matt- Did you see Anna Stone’s head smash into the canvas?!

Sho’No Mercy quickly drops down and attempts to pin Anna Stone as the ref counts

-1-

-2…

Anna Stone kicks out

Rick- Wow…Anna Stone manages to somehow kick out after taking that nasty looking jackknife powerbomb

Matt- That speaks a lot to Anna’s will to compete!

Sho’No Mercy shrugs his shoulders as he leans down and drags Anna Stone up to her feet. Sho’No Mercy points over at James Shark and winks at him. James Shark tries to duck into the ring but the ref quickly runs over to James Shark and holds James Shark back. Meanwhile, Sho’No Mercy Irish whips Anna Stone to the ring ropes. Anna Stone hits the ring ropes on the other side and comes running back at Sho’No Mercy. Sho’No Mercy tries to go for a big boot but Anna Stone slides underneath Sho’No Mercy’s legs. Anna Stone quickly checks to see if the ref is still dealing with James Shark before cocking back and delivering a massive kick to Sho’No Mercy’s balls

“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”

Rick- I THINK THE FANS IN THE UPPER DECK HEARD THAT ONE!

Matt- That, ladies and gentlemen, was the sound of a man’s testicles being kicked right back up inside of his body

Rick- I bet that right now, somewhere, Corey Casey is clutching his balls and having nightmares of when Gunther kicked him in the balls some obscene amount of times…

James Shark sees the whole thing go down and begins to hysterically laugh as he ducks back outside of the ring. Meanwhile, inside the ring, Anna Stone quickly grabs the back of Sho’No Mercy’s head, forcing Sho’No Mercy to bend over backwards. Anna Stone then leaps into the air and connects a reverse X-Factor to Sho’No Mercy.

Rick- Both SNM and Anna Stone are down!

Matt- And Anna needs to make a tag quickly here before the much bigger SNM fully recovers!

Anna Stone begins to crawl towards James Shark, who is furiously hopping from one foot to the other and back again, nearly foaming at the mouth to get into the match. At the same time, Sho’No Mercy is slowly dragging himself over to the ring ropes in an attempt to gain his footing

Rick-James Shark is in an absolute FRENZY right now!

Matt- He is seconds away from whipping out the 12” and using it as a fucking baseball bat!

Rick- What does that have anything to do with anything?

Matt- it doesn’t…but isn’t it funny to picture? I mean, he would decapitate the bitch in the front row right behind us!

Anna Stone begins to crawl faster as she gets closer to James Shark. Meanwhile, Sho’No Mercy has somehow managed to regain his footing. Sho’No Mercy turns and sees that Anna Stone is seconds away from tagging in James Shark. Sho’No Mercy quickly begins to run over to stop Anna Stone but, at the last second, Anna Stone leaps into the air and tags in James Shark. The fans erupt in applause and screams as James Shark launches himself over the top rope and into the ring

Rick- I think the roof just blew off of the Bell Centre!

Matt- PUTCHA MONEY ON SHARKY!

James Shark goes sprinting across the ring, looking to tackle Sho’No Mercy. Meanwhile, Sno’ Bunny ducks into the ring as well and begins to run towards James Shark. Just as James Shark is about to tackle Sho’No Mercy to the ground, Sho’No Mercy drops down and James Shark runs into Sno’ Bunny. James Shark wraps his arms around Sno’ Bunny’s waist and drives Sno’ Bunny spine first into the turnbuckle, causing James Shark’s face to be buried in Sno’ Bunny’s massive tits

Rick- Sharky with a move that benefits him in two ways!

Matt- Not only does he get to fuck up his hated enemy’s girlfriend…but he gets to motorboat her too!

James Shark turns around, still carrying Sno’ Bunny. James Shark then leaps into the air and levels Sno’ Bunny with a double edged spinebuster. James Shark then leaps to his feet and begins to scan the ring, looking for Sho’No Mercy. Sho’No Mercy quickly slides out of the ring and leans against the announcer’s table

Rick- SNM wants nothing to do with the extremely pissed off James Shark

Matt- And I don’t blame him in the least!

Anna Stone, meanwhile, has managed to get to her feet on the outside of the ring. Anna Stone ducks into the ring and runs over to the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. Anna Stone bounces off the ropes and comes running towards James Shark. James Shark turns and sees Anna Stone coming running right at him and leans down and forms a cup with his hands. As soon as she gets close enough, Anna Stone leaps into the air and places her right foot in James Shark’s hands. James Shark then stands up and launches Anna Stone up over his back and over the top rope. Anna Stone executes a full front flip while sailing through the air and lands in the seated position on Sho’No Mercy’s shoulders, driving Sho’No Mercy’s upper back and shoulders and neck into the edge of the announcer’s table. Meanwhile, Anna Stone goes rolling across the top of the announcer’s table and ends up taking out Matt Biggars

“THAT WAS AWESOME!”
*CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP*
“THAT WAS AWESOME!”
*CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP*

Rick- HOLY FUCK!

Matt- Anna…are you alright?!

Meanwhile, in the ring, James Shark turns and looks at the carnage on the outside. James Shark locks his gaze on Sho’No Mercy and quickly drops down and ducks outside of the ring. James Shark walks over to Sho’No Mercy’s grocery cart of weapons and rummages around inside of the grocery cart. James Shark smiles wickedly as he pulls out a staple gun. James Shark holds the staple gun up high in the air as the crowd roars it’s approval

Rick- What is Sharky thinking?! This match isn’t a “No DQ Match!” JOHNNY! GET OUT HERE! QUICK!

“IT’S ELECTRIC!”

As if on cue, Johnny Electric’s music hits and Johnny Electric walks out from backstage with a microphone in his hand

Johnny Electric
Now hold on Sharky! Just hold on!

James Shark turns and stares at Johnny Electric, hatred burning in his eyes

Johnny Electric
I won’t have the main event of the first annual IWF Award Show end in a disqualification! I know that you and Sho’No Mercy have a lot of hatred for each other but I can’t have you doing anything brash…

A small smile appears on Johnny Electric’s face as he locks gazes with James Shark

Johnny Electric
…at least, not until I officially make this match a No Disqualifications Match! Hey Rick, mind if I borrow your saying?! OH THE RATINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rick- FUCK YEAH!

Matt- NO DQ MATCH?! THIS SHIT IS GOING TO GET INSANE!

James Shark turns, fully intending on putting staples in Sho’No Mercy’s skull. But, as soon as James Shark turns around, Sho’No Mercy drills James Shark in the gut with the grocery cart. Sho’No Mercy pushes the grocery cart, with James Shark stuck to the front of the cart, right into the steel ring post

Rick- Let’s not forget; SNM is definitely a top tier contender for the “Mr. Hardcore” title in IWF!

Matt- Rick, let’s be real for a second here…the #1 Rule in IWF is in place for a reason…

Rick- “Never fuck with Corey Casey in a match with no rules” I know….but SNM is definitely at his finest when the rules have been thrown out the window!

Matt- I’d agree with that!

Sho’No Mercy rams the grocery cart into James Shark’s upper chest and skull a few times before he throws the grocery cart aside. Sho’No Mercy walks over to his pile of weapons and pulls out a kitchen sink along with a driver. Sho’No Mercy walks over to James Shark and places the kitchen sink in between James Shark’s legs while positioning his boot on James Shark’s lower stomach. Sho’No Mercy pretends to shade his eyes from the sun before cocking back and nailing the kitchen sink right into James Shark’s balls with the driver

Rick- OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Matt- Kitchen sink being driven into the 12” with a golf club…that’s gonna leave a mark…

Sho’No Mercy leans down and picks James Shark up and rolls James Shark into the ring. Sho’No Mercy rolls into the ring after James Shark. Sho’No Mercy doesn’t notice James Shark reaching into his tights and pulling out a roll of pennies. James Shark grips the pennies in his right fist as Sho’No Mercy walks over to James Shark. Sho’No Mercy leans down and drags James Shark up to his feet. James Shark suddenly surprises Sho’No Mercy and swings wildly at Sho’No Mercy’s head, looking to knock Sho’No Mercy out

Rick- Swag Out attempt!

Matt- And Sharky has got those pennies firmly clutched in his fist!

Sho’No Mercy manages to duck at the last possible second and runs to the ring ropes. Sho’No Mercy bounces off the ring ropes and sees that Sno’ Bunny is, once again, standing on the ring apron. Sho’No Mercy hits the ropes and reaches his arms out as wide as he can and tags Sno’ Bunny in.

Rick- Uh…

Matt- What just happened?

Sho’No Mercy laughs as he ducks out of the ring and begins to walk up the entrance ramp

Rick- What the fuck?

Matt- Where is he going?

James Shark screams at Sho’No Mercy

James Shark
PUSSY ASS BITCH!

James Shark suddenly sprints forward and levels Sno’ Bunny with a devastating right hook

Rick- SWAG OUT!

Matt- I THINK SHARKY MIGHT’VE BROKEN SNO’ BUNNY’S JAW!

Rick- Fuck that! I think Sharky might’ve BROKEN HER GODDAMN FACE!

James Shark stands up and puts his boot on Sno’ Bunny’s face as the ref counts

-1-

-2-

-3-

[Ding, Ding, Ding!]

Heather Thompson- Here are your winners…James Shark and Anna Stone!

James Shark walks to the ring ropes and begins to scream at Sho’No Mercy, who is standing calmly at the top of the entrance ramp. All of a sudden “Turn My Swag On” by Keri Hilson, Teyana Taylor and Lil Kim blasts out of the house PA system and Serai Leone walks out from the back

Rick- What is Serai doing?

Matt- She’s obviously out here to…

Sho’No Mercy and Serai Leone embrace and exchange a passionate kiss

Matt- …make out with Sho’No Mercy?

Rick- Wait WHAT?!

Sho’No Mercy and Serai Leone break the kiss off and Sho’No Mercy smirks as he points up at the titantron…

---------------------------------------------

When the scene comes into view, SNM is sitting on his bed in a red robe, wiping the water from his face with a white towel. This is most likely because he just got out of the shower, and this is determined from the sound of water running from the bathroom. The steam from the hot water is lifting, and rising out of the open bathroom door. As the camera pans, and zooms, you see the curvy body of a womans silhouette washing in the shower. Then the shower water shuts off.

Sho’No Mercy
Ay' keep ya' attention to me! I don't wanna' ruin any surprises!

SNM gets up, and walks a few feet away from the bed, pacing around in his robe.

Sho’No Mercy
Ay' girl, don't forget ta' shut that door. We got company, an' the camera is rollin

Sho'No takes a couple steps as you hear the sound of the bathroom door closing, and someone getting ready on the other side of the bathroom door.

Sho’No Mercy
Lemme find this blunt, I know I left it somewhere on this counter

SNM searches the counter, and then finds his blunt. SNM walks back over to the bed, and then he sits down. He reaches to the side of him, and picks the lighter up off of the crumpled, and unmade bed sheets. Then he puts the blunt to his mouth, and sparks it with the lighter. Inhaling a deep drag of the Kush, SNM almost chokes upon letting the smoke out. The bathroom door is heard opening, and then a familiar voice is heard.

Serai Leone
Damn, that's stinks... So, what do you think about my proposal papi??

The camera pans around to reveal that it is none other then Serai Leone. SNM inhales the blunt, and begins to talk again.

Sho’No Mercy
Ya' know in da' hood, I seen a lotta' set-ups, an' known da' typpa' coward lame ass Shark is... how do I know he ain't send you?

Serai Leone
I don't do hood, papi. I'm not from the hood. As far as that Thug Smurf, please. He couldn't think of nothing this brilliant. He can't even come up with a coherent sentence whether he was high or not. Trust me. He didn't send me.

Serai sits on the bed looking as sexy as ever in her custom made Lady Enyce outfit with stiletto boots. Her silky auburn tresses curled loosely. Those gorgeous emerald green orbs trained on him.

Sho’No Mercy
Think about it for a minute. Would he REALLY send me here to fuck you if we were still together? This is a business and pleasure proposition, papi. If I am not mistaken, I do believe you got a lot of pleasure the past 24 hours, did you not? The way I see it, this is a win-win situation for you. You get to fuck with that Hood Troll's head, mess up his game and you get the hottest chick in the business by your side in one package. Do you really think he could come up with a perfect plan like that?

Not really, ya know' homie ain't dat' smart! An' shit, I must give it to you... you did beat Sno', I ain't expect that, not to down you girl... but that chicks legs are lethal!

Serai Leone
And, how about my legs?

SNM and Serai eye each other for a moment, and then SNM licks his lips

Sho’No Mercy
Smooth, shaven, spread... an' you can hit da' split! Ya' right, you defiantly did make papi' feel good!

Serai gives off a huge smile.

Serai Leone
Where is Sno' Bunny anyway? You should just leave that gringa behind!

Sho’No Mercy
Shit, I dunno' where she is? I don't have a small "ego" like James Shark, I'm sure you know that

Serai bites her lip, and then nods her head in enjoyment.

Sho’No Mercy
I don't clock my girls, I care about em' but I don't care about em' if you get what I'm sayin?

SNM takes another pull off of the blunt.

Sho’No Mercy
I ain't worried, an' I ain't da jealous type like Shark. That's how I can tell he ain't real. So as for you fuckin' wit' SNM, I might jus' have to take you up on that offer. Fuck Shark's team swag... This is team win!!

SNM puts his arm around Serai, and eyes the camera so hard you can see the devilish thoughts in his retnas. Serai leans her head on SNM's shoulder, as Sho'No finishes his thoughts.

Sho’No Mercy
TEAM WIN.... ALL DAY!

Scene fades to black

---------------------------------------------



From The Ashes II…it’s coming…

---------------------------------------------

The show returns from commercial with Jason Hawk and Johnny Electric standing in the middle of the ring, behind the podium. The large Superstar of the Year trophy sits on top of the podium.

Johnny Electric
Ladies and gentlemen, Jason Hawk and I have been called upon to present the Superstar of the Year award. This year…

Jason Hawk
Give me that

Jason Hawk pulls the microphone away from Johnny Electric. The crowd cheers as Jason grins at Johnny.

Jason Hawk
Everyone wants me to present this award, so let me talk now. Okay, so this award goes to the wrestler who had the best all around year. And I think it’s pretty obvious who had the best year, don’t you all?

The crowd cheers in anticipation. The five nominees faces appear on the titantron.

Jason Hawk
The winner of this award won a lot of matches, and looked good doing it too. He’s a good friend of mine, so that’s also a positive. Oh! And he was the only one who didn’t make up some lame “curse” excuse when he lost the IWF Championship

The crowd cheers loudly as they now know who is going to win the award.

Jason Hawk
The winner of the Superstar of the Year award, Brandon Macdonald!

From Agincourt to Waterloo
Poitiers and then Anjou
The Roses War, the Hundred Years
Through battlefields of blood and tears

Brandon Macdonald walks out from backstage, still wearing his red and white Canadian suit. He jumps around and points to all the fans, smile on his face.

From Bosworth Field to Pointe Du Hoc
Stalingard and the siege of York
The bloody turf of Gallipoli
Had no effect on the killing spree

Brandon walks down the ramp, high fiving fans as he goes, taking pictures with them, signing a few autographs. Once at the end of the ramp, he slides into the ring

Bannockburn to Austerlitz
The fall of France and the German blitz
The cruelest of atrocities
Europa's blood is borne of these

Brandon Macdonald jumps around and gets the crowd to cheer louder. He laughs as he walks over to Johnny and shakes his hand. Brandon Macdonald walks over to Jason Hawk, and the two men embrace. They share a few words, before Brandon walks over to the podium.

Heaven help in all our battles
Heaven see love, heaven help us

Brandon smiles as he waits for the cheers to die down. Once they do, he motions for them to start again

“ONE MORE MATCH” “ONE MORE MATCH” “ONE MORE MATCH” “ONE MORE MATCH”

Brandon Macdonald
Easy guys, I’m not gonna make any promises that I can’t keep.

The crowd continues to chant as Brandon laughs. He waits for them to quiet down

Brandon Macdonald
Man, I guess there are a lot of people that I need to thank for this award huh? And I’m being serious, I’m not just going to thank myself like my buddy Jason did. But lets get serious. I really need to thank everyone who put up with me this year. Mostly talking to Anna, Ashley, and Keagan. I know I’ve been a bit of a dick at times to all of you, but without any of you, I wouldn’t be here today. I need to thank all the guys in the back, for pushing me to be my best week in and week out. If it weren’t for some of the motivation I got from some of you guys, I wouldn’t be here right now accepting this award. As weird as this is, I need to thank Brenton Cyrus, sort of. Its way too hard to explain and you’ll all think I’m crazy if I tried, but we had a long talk around the time that I overdosed, and he helped set me straight. I also need to thank the Maryvale Hospital crew in Glendale. If it weren’t for them, I’d have died a long time ago.

Brandon stops as the crowd starts to chant

“MERYVALE” “MERYVALE” “MERYVALE” “MERYVALE”

Brandon Macdonald
There’s a chant that we’ll never hear again. But finally, my last thanks. You guys. All the fans out there who cheer me on every week. The ones who voted me for this award. The ones who stop me on the street and talk to me. You guys are the reason that I was able to do this. Whenever times were tough, I could always rely on all of my fans. And to you all, I think you. This award is just as much yours as it is mine. And I know you’re sad because I don’t wrestle anymore, but I’m betting you’ll see a lot more of me than you think. Thank you

The crowd cheers as Brandon Macdonald holds his trophy up in the air. He walks back over to Jason Hawk and hugs him. Jason says something and Brandon nods his head. Brandon Macdonald walks over to Johnny Electric and says a few words, before extending his hand.

Rick – A well-deserved award, Brandon was incredible this year

Matt – He sure was, he helped shape IWF into what it is today

Johnny Electric shakes the hand of Brandon Macdonald, who suddenly kicks him in the stomach hard. Brandon Macdonald positions Johnny Electric’s head between his legs, and then poses for the crowd. Brandon Macdonald jumps and flips, bringing Johnny Electric with him, and spiking him down on his skull with a flip piledriver.

Rick –Click Click Boom out of nowhere!

Brandon Macdonald grabs a microphone and looks down at Johnny Electric

Brandon Macdonald
I’m sorry Johnny, but I was given orders, and I thought this was the best way to deliver them. By way of the Board of Directors, you’re fired

Brandon Macdonald then points to Jason Hawk, who is on the top turnbuckle. The crowd cheers as Jason Hawk jumps off and hits a double shooting star press on the body of Johnny Electric. He stands up and motions for the crowd to cheer.

Brandon Macdonald
See, there’s a reason I said that you’d all be seeing a lot more of me than you thought.

Jason Hawk reaches down and grabs a microphone

Jason Hawk
That’s right! And there’s a reason that I came back for this show, not just to accept a lame award!

Brandon Macdonald
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a major announcement for you. Effective immediately, Jason Hawk…

Jason Hawk
…And Brandon Macdonald are now the official co-General Managers of IWF Battle Grounds!

Both men drop their microphones and walk out of the ring as the crowd erupts with cheers. The two men walk up the ramp, high fiving each other and the fans.

Rick – Brandon and Jason are the new GM’s!

Matt – YES! I’m so excited!

Rick – Wow, I can’t even believe it

Matt – What a way to kick off Year two of IWF! Join us next week!

Both men stop at the top of the stage, and turn back towards the fans, who are still cheering. They look at each other, and then pose for the crowd, while fireworks erupt in the background, as Battle Grounds goes off the air.
