The show comes back from commercial to show Rick Christian and Matt Biggars, who are sitting behind the announcer’s table
Rick- And welcome back to Battle Grounds ladies and gents!
Matt- Ok Rick…I think the time has come…
Rick- The time for what?
Matt- THE TIME FOR US TO SEE WHO STEEL ANGEL’S MYSTERIOUS OPPONENT IS FOR TONIGHT! I AM DYING TO FUCKING KNOW!!!!The camera pans over to show Heather Thompson, who is standing in the middle of the ring
Heather Thompson- The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first…
"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" appering 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.
I am now an instrument of violence
I am a vessel of invincibility
I cannot leave this undecided
Stepping down to battle another day
Remember me for all time
This determination is a vital part of me
Surrender now or be counted
With the endless masses that I will defeat you.
Steel Angel jumps off the platform and bows before fans as they shower him in cheers. Steel Angel then walks slowly towards the ring every step with purpose, every movement loose and flowing
Heather Thompson- From San Diego, California…Weighing in at 220 Pounds…He is the current holder of the IWF World Title Briefcase…Steel Angel!
Rick- Steel Angel has been on an absolute tear as of late, just laying waste to anyone put in his path
Matt- Not to mention Steel Angel is successfully fucking around with the mindsets of both Corey Casey AND James Shark by constantly trying to cash in that IWF World Heavyweight Championship Briefcase
Rick- Steel definitely has both the IWF Champ and the #1 Contender on their toes…
Come on bring it, don't sing it, better believe it.
Steel Angel then stops at the end of the ramp where he brings his hands together with the middle and index fingers joining together pointing straight out with the other fingers curled together overlapping one another. He then moves his hands while in this symbol up, down, left and then right in the form of a cross before bringing both middle and index fingers to his lips and kisses them. He then separates his hands as he points to the sky unleashing blue pyro from the entrance ramp.
Broken down till your hope has died
Beat down 'til victory's mine
Stand up and show me some pride
And now are you ready?
Steel Angel then walks around the ring slapping high fives with some of the fans before climbing through the second rope and enters the ring.
I'm one with the warrior inside
My dominance can't be denied
Your entire world will turn
Into a battlefield tonight
As I look upon you
Through the warrior's eyes
Now I can see the fear
That will ensure my victory this time.
He smiles as looks around the ring, he then poses which causes the fans to cheer some more.
I can't be told to compromise this
They'll never doubt the body lying at my feet
A most formidable reminder
They will speak my name for eternity.
I have no need of any guidance
I am a weapon, powerful beyond belief
Seen through the warrior's eyes
I never need to question how to defeat you.
He then removes the tunic and takes it off showing his ripped features to the ladies in attendence some of whom scream in delight. He is also wearing gold karate style pants with white flame like designs on the ankles and the words "Steel Angel" writtin in black latin like writting on the sides.
Come on bring it, don't sing it, better believe it
He then stands at the center of the ring and forms the same hand gesture he did at the end of the entrance ramp. This time as he ends the gesture by pointing to the sky that white pyro erupts from the corners.
Broken down 'til your hope has died
Beat down till victory's mine
Stand up and show me some pride
And now are you ready?
I'm one with the warrior inside
My dominance can't be denied
Your entire world will turn
Into a battlefield tonight.
As I look upon you
Through the warrior's eyes
Now I can see the fear
That will ensure my victory this time.
He then tilts his head from side to side and he gets ready for his match.
Heather Thompson- And his opponent…

Kill me with a beat
The sound of “Do You Call My Name?” by Ra roars out of the house speakers as Corey Casey and Robbie Hart slowly walk out from the backstage area. As the guitar riff kicks in, fireworks erupt from under the stage on either side
Heather Thompson- At a combined weight of 426 Pounds…Corey Casey and Robbie Hart…Upper Limit!
Rick- Upper Limit looks to be in tip top form here tonight
Matt- It’s been an interesting night thus far for the boys of Upper Limit that much is for damn sure, I wonder if they can top of the evening with a big time title win?!
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 members of Upper Limit walk down the entrance ramp, high fiving the fans on either side of the isle.
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
The members of Upper Limit walk over to the ring and slide underneath the ring ropes. Corey Casey and Robbie Hart both enter the ring and raise their fists to the sky
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 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 climbs down from the ring ropes and walks over to Robbie Hart as the two men look up the entrance ramp, awaiting their opponents
Heather Thompson- And their opponents…

Rick- Cody Taylor letting Robbie Hart know exactly what he thinks of him
Matt- Cody better watch out, Robbie might not find Cody’s antics amusing…
Heather Thompson- And his partner…
Insanity at it's finest. Fire starter, riot maker,
moon stricken, animal need, bad seed, untameable beast
Everybody around me always think they know what's
going on inside my mind, they think I'm Mr. Nice Guy all the time.
How they say on Diary? You think you know, but you have no idea.
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 in pure confidence
Heather Thompson- From Brooklyn, New York…Weighing in at 210 Pounds…He is the current IWF World Heavyweight Champion and is also one half of the defending IWF Tag Team Champions…James Shark!
Rick- And here comes the extremely confident IWF Champion
Matt- Normally I wouldn’t hesitate to put my money on Sharky, but tonight he’s facing two men who have been to the top of the mountain before with only a rookie at his back
Rick- Yeah but Sharky’s partner Cody Taylor is the best rookie IWF has!
Matt- I’m not doubting that at all, Rick. I’m just saying Upper Limit made me think twice before I put my money on Sharky
Rick- YOU’RE STILL GAMBLING ON THESE MATCHES?!
Matt- ….I have a problem…

Yo, cause I’m a Beast
James Shark walks a few steps down the ramp but again stops, this time to pose for the cameras flashing off his confident smile.
I can smell your woman's rosy punani
on the dance floor all the way in VIP
I'm a wrestler, I can molest her,
and she will leave with me because of my stature.
Now, everybody move, everybody bounce.
Whoever the Nina choose, we about to pounce.
(work it out)
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.
With the 151 and a bottle of calm?

I like all woman, tall woman, and small woman.
Ya gotta let Shark knees tease your shakra.?

Come against me
That’s a no no
Yo, cause I’m a Beast
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.
I'm about to get that money like a robbery,
Now I got it all my enemies wanna clobber me.
Squallery harder we need dollars comradely
the hotter the scholar be, the larger the lottery.
Need ten, twins, gotta succeed spend G's, Ben Franks
We cram G’s in bank, breathe said we win thanks
Hungry like the wolf indeed, but I give
money to my crooks in need, I live
In Sherman Oaks but from Kansas City,
I miss home, Cali is Business but man it's pretty.
I ain't lying y'all, Monster for money for mine y'all
if I wasn't getting money, I'd do time dog.
You'd never see the Shark fall,
big house, wood floors,
maid cleaning the bitches with pine-sol
James Shark gets into the ring and continues to eye down the reff, he bumbs into him hard almost causing the reff to stumble over, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and again begins to eye the ladies in the crowd
Welcome Yo Ho, Get Filthy
Must make mo dough
We will be shaking your floor
Come against me
That’s a no no
Yo, cause I’m a Beast
Friend, this industry is no kin to me,
behold the flow of the century.
But they scared of me
wrestlers they don't compare to me.
Fair to be said that he dares to be sincerely a rarity.
Check the sound scan, look around man.
Wake up look at you Jacob, you in killer clown land.
Face paint and jugalettes with bubble butts
And we rock it twisted diddy women in the button ups.
Hands down we rock harder than kiss,
but rap me Kutt and Krizz.
Can I get two stomps and a clap in this bitch
Nina shot to the top 'cause the plots to get rich.
Tell ya executives,
I'm next for this
Success it is.
Yet the best for Shark, this ain't
Baptist Pentecostal or Methodist..
This is the beast baby.
Out, I mean exodus.
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. Cody Taylor and James Shark talk for a moment before Cody Taylor ducks outside of the ring. Meanwhile, Corey Casey and Robbie Hart converse for a moment before Corey Casey ducks outside, leaving Robbie Hart and James Shark alone in the middle of the ring to start the match.

Matt- And Steel is carrying some steel!Steel Angel slides into the ring and sprints over to Cody Taylor first. Steel Angel drills Cody Taylor in the back with the steel crowbar. The force of the blow sends Cody Taylor toppling out of the ring. James Shark turns around…just in time for Steel Angel to smash James Shark in the gut with the crowbar. Steel Angel maneuvers himself around James Shark’s back. Steel Angel then wraps the crowbar around James Shark’s throat before leaping backwards, driving his knees into James Shark’s back and driving the crowbar into James Shark’s throat
Rick- Good god!
Matt- Steel Angel might’ve just ruptured James Shark’s neck!
Steel Angel quickly leaps to his feet and tosses the crowbar out of the ring. Steel Angel then begins to frantically wave
Rick- What is Steelio doing?
Matt- I think he’s cashing in!
A referee runs down the entrance ramp and slides into the ring. Before the ref can call for the bell, Corey Casey slides into the ring. Corey Casey sprints directly at Steel Angel
Rick- Once again, Corey Casey is saving James Shark’s title!
Matt- While I respect CC’s candor, wouldn’t it be easier to just beat down on Steel Angel again than to beat James Shark?!
Steel Angel retreats up the entrance ramp
Steel Angel
Haha…I almost had it there, Casey. You know, you and James Shark seem to make quite the team. I mean, you’re constantly bailing him out of trouble. The problem is…what’s going to happen when you’re not around CC? What’s going to happen when you’re both left in a bloody heap?A clever smile spreads across Steel Angel’s face as he locks gazes with Corey Casey
Steel Angel
I just got an amazing idea for next week’s main event! Next week…LIVE on Battle Grounds…Corey Casey and James Shark will team up to take on…THE ENTIRE IWF ROSTER!
Rick- WHAT?!
Matt- NO WAY!!!!!
Steel Angel
And, to make things even more interesting….this gauntlet match will be a Mason’s Law Match for Corey Casey and James Shark!
Rick- THAT IS BULLSHIT!
Matt- I think you mean THAT I RATINGS!
Rick- Everyone that CC and James Shark are going to face next week are able to fight under No DQ rules while Corey Casey and James Shark can’t use any weapons, can be counted out, and can be DQ’ed!While Corey Casey’s back is turned, James Shark slowly gets to his feet, gripping his throat in pain. Corey Casey suddenly turns around and runs over to James Shark. Corey Casey kicks James Shark in the gut. Corey Casey then lifts James Shark up in the suplex position, holding James Shark vertically for a moment before Corey Casey leaps into the air and drives James Shark down to the canvas with a Purifier
Rick- PURIFIER!
Matt- MESSAGE SENT!Corey Casey gets to his feet and walks over to the IWF World Heavyweight Championship, which is sitting on the ring apron. Corey Casey picks the IWF World Heavyweight Championship up and holds it high over his head. The camera zooms in on Corey Casey celebrating with the IWF World Heavyweight Championship in the foreground while James Shark’s motionless form is seen lying on the canvas behind Corey Casey as the show fades to black
