[The Video package for ICW Friday Night Thunder plays throughout the arena before the cameras pan around showing off the sold out live audience and the Video Screen layout of the fans watching from home.]
(The show opens and the cameras pan all over the arena to the cheering fans! "The Second Coming" by CFO hits the arena and here comes the new United States Champion Darren Maddox onto the stage to a big pop from the fans! With the title belt around his waist, He stops and looks out at the fans with a smile, then makes his way down the ramp and gets into the ring.)
(After a few moments, his music fades and he starts to speak.)
Darren Maddox: HAMILTON ONTARIO!!!!
(The fans cheer loud!)
Darren Maddox: I gotta tell you guys that I am feeling better and stronger than ever!! I kicked cancer's ass, had my return match at Cade and won the U.S championship!!
(The fans cheer loud again!)
Darren Maddox: But there's something very important that I gotta say to all of you. I wanna say thank you to all of you for supporting me and getting me through the tremendous life or death battle I was facing during my fight against cancer. I'm not even gonna speak of the hell I went through because I'm a guy that likes to live in the here and now....and right now I'm standing here as the United States champion! And there is nothing that's gonna---
(Suddenly "Ace Of Spades" by Motorhead hits the arena and here comes World Champion Jackson Kent onto the stage. He starts to walk down to the ring. He goes up the steps and gets into the ring. He goes to stand across from Darren. His music fades out.)
Jackson Kent: I heard you out here talking about you being the new United States Champion as if it's such great news. But I thought I would come out here to remind you that I am the World Heavyweight Champion, so therefore that makes me..... BETTER THAN YOU.
(Darren starts to smile at Jackson.)
Darren Maddox: Really? That's why you came down here? To tell me that you're better than me?
Jackson Kent: Damn right.
Darren Maddox: Well that's your opinion, but let's put it to the ICW Universe!
(Darren looks out at the fans.)
Darren Maddox: What do you say guys?!! Is Jackson Kent better than me?!!
Fans: NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!!
(Darren smiles.)
Darren Maddox: AM I BETTER THAN JACKSON KENT?!!
Fans: YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!!
(Jackson has become angry now and starts shouting!)
Jackson Kent: SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!! YOU'RE ALL IDIOTS ANYWAY!!
(Darren looks at Jackson and shrugs his shoulders.)
Darren Maddox: They speak for themselves, what can I say.
Darren Maddox: Look dude.... instead of being out here and interrupting my air time, don't you think you should be off somewhere planning your strategy on how you're gonna handle Enforcer? I mean, he DID kind of embarrass you after your match at Cade by hitting you with a Chokeslam.....THEN he hit you with a St. Louis Stunner.....THEN he hit you with a Tombstone. So needless to say, your days as World Champion aren't starting out very well.
Jackson Kent: Enforcer caught me off guard which I can assure you will NEVER happen again.
Darren Maddox: Ohhhh.... he caught you off guard! Of course! That must've been it!
Jackson Kent: You just listen to me Maddox. You stay out of my way! Out of all the current champions on this roster, you're the one who always loves to rock the boat, so I'm telling you again, stay out of my way!
Darren Maddox: You know, a few moments ago, you stated that you were better than me. Well....if you think so, then....how about you and I have a match RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW and you put that World Title on the line and I'll put my U.S Title on the line!!! And then we'll see who's better than who!!!
(The fans cheer loud, they want to see this match happen!)
Jackson Kent: Me against you in a title match tonight?? NOT IN THIS CITY OF IDIOTS!
Fans: BOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOO!!!
(Darren smirks at Jackson.)
Darren Maddox: This coming from a guy who actually thought Enforcer would just walk away that easily after you caused him to lose WKW.
Jackson Kent: I didn't cause the demise of WKW.
Darren Maddox: Yes you did. You put all the wheels in motion all at once so that you could destroy WKW. Don't stand here and deny it. You know damn well what you did.
(Jackson pauses in silence for a moment, then takes a few steps closer to Darren and is looking serious and mean.)
Jackson Kent: You just stay out of my way....
(And with that, Jackson turns and looks to be about to leave the ring, but suddenly he turns back around and goes to hit Darren!! But Darren sees it coming and blocks the hit!! Darren then punches Jackson a few times in the face, then launches him backwards over the top rope with a short arm clothesline!!!)
(Jackson gets to his feet and starts walking backwards and is shouting at Darren angrily!!)
Jackson Kent: I'M THE WORLD CHAMPION!! YOU JUST STAY OUT OF MY WAY MADDOX!! YOU HEAR ME??!!! I'LL GET RID OF ENFORCER!! MARK MY WORDS!!
I'LL GET RID OF HIM!!!
(Darren remains in the ring with a big smile on his face as he watches Jackson slowly head back up the ramp all pissed off!!)
TJ Alexander vs Floyd McCarver
The Match begins with both men locking up in the ring followed by a shoulder block into a belly-to-belly overhead suplex by Floyd onto Alexander who waits for him to rise to his feet but TJ Counters with a kick to the gut followed by a snap ddt into a quick pin attempt.
Alexander argues with the referee as Floyd gets back to his feet and hits 2 Brutal- Monty Brown's Pounce!
He quickly lifts up Alexander and hits "Perfection 10"!
He motions to the crowd for his finisher but Alexander reaches into his tights and pulls out some knucks without the referee seeing them hammers Floyd over the head knocking him doiwn then Alexander lifts Floyd up and hits "Game Over"
He goes for the pin...

Winner: TJ Alexander via pinfall.
~The show goes to a commercial break.~
The Enforcer vs The Crow
The show returns from commercials as The Enforcer and The Crow are already in the ring as the referee has the bell rung to start the match.
The Crow bounces off the ropes only to run into a Running Big Boot from The Enforcer. The Enforcer lifts and throws The Crow into one of the corners of the ring and then proceeds to lay in the rights and left that he likes to call soup bones to The Crow.
The Crow crumbles to the mat as The Enforcer is waiting for The Crow to get back up to his feet. The Crow slides under the bottom rope and exits the ring and The Enforcer follows him out there. The Crow slides back into the ring and The Enforcer again follows him back into the ring where The Crow springs back up and starts kicking away as The Enforcer is slowly getting back to a vertical base.
Harley Meisner: I wonder if The Crow might be second guessing himself as this match continues.
Sara Butler: The Crow made his bed with all those posts on social media and now he has to pay for them.
George Sullivan: The Enforcer is unleashing whatever pent up frustration he has left out here tonight on The Crow.
The Enforcer grabs The Crow by the throat and one-handedly has him swinging in the air before knocking The Crow down to the mat with an Earth shattering Chokeslam.
The Enforcer then signals for the end as The Crow is now on spaghetti legs and turns around into The Enforcer who connects with the St. Louis Stunner which causes The Crow to plop up like a fish so then The Enforcer connects with the Tombstone Piledriver for the win.
Winner by Pinfall: The Enforcer!!!
The Enforcer celebrates his victory in the ring as The Crow heads through the crowd back up to the bowery as the show heads backstage.
(The scene goes backstage outside of the medical door. We see the door opening and we see Gracie walking out with the help of crutches, the crowd sees her and starts cheering but that quickly goes away when they see the crutches they know something terrible is about to happen. We see Nigel Bartholomew coming out the door as well with the Mayhem championship in his hand)
Gracie Lopez: Well on the plus side at least it’s not a torn ACL, I was worried about that when the injury happened but in my mind, I had to keep going no matter what, and I did. Was it the most brilliant thing ever? Probably not.
Nigel Bartholomew: While true, you heard what the doctor said. He said you’re gonna be out for at least 3-6 months to fix that meniscus and MCL of yours. So, I hate to be the bad guy here but we need this championship around and we’re not like some companies who like to have their championships on someone for months on end and not defend it, so I’m hereby stripping you of the Mayhem Championship. Yeah, I know you just won it and I know you have the heart to wrestle but not with that knee. I won’t allow it!
Gracie Lopez: That’s fine, I’m not going to fight your decision even though I want too. I’ll have my surgery tomorrow and get to rehab so I can come and reclaim my title….
Nigel Bartholomew: Good!
(Gracie Lopez slowly walks off camera as Nigel watches her. He’s shaking his head because he knows he’s down a star but he knows with her work ethic she’ll be back soon. As he turns around he walks into Jenn, she looks beaten up.)
Jenn Makarios-Lopez: Word on the street is that Gracie had to give up her title because of a little knee injury, how sad. I think you should give it to the rightful owner, me!
Nigel Bartholomew: I don’t think so, that’s not how things work around here. We just don’t give championships to people. You have to EARN it. I thought you learned that from your father-in-law?
Jenn Makarios-Lopez: Don’t you dare disrespect, Jorge!
Nigel Bartholomew: I’m not disrespecting anybody. If anybody is, it’s you. You decided to turn on your family and for what? Respect? This isn’t how you earn it and you know it, and if he was alive he would be disappointed in you. Anyway, Until I talk to James and William Gibbs, this championship will remain vacated until we figure out what the best course of action is.
(Nigel walks away leaving Jenn seething with rage at what he just said to her! She can’t believe the disrespect coming from that man's mouth.)
George Sullivan: It sucks that Gracie had to give up the title.
Harley Meisner: It does, but look at her work schedule, it was bound to catch up to her and it did. But at least she didn’t tear the ACL. Meniscus tears are common and easy to fix, I think we’ll see her before long, and back in action!
Sara Butler: I don’t think she’ll be out for those 3-6 months, If I’m a betting person we’ll see her in a month or 2. She works too hard for anything to stop her.
Double Debut Match

He pounds Raab with some punches and forearms to the face and gets back to his feet, waiting for Raab to get to his feet, he pulls the elbow pad down, looking for the Bull’s Hammer, but as he runs at Raab, Raab ducks and puts his hand around Rick’s throat, finally hitting the chokeslam to great effect. Raab waits for Rick to get back to his feet and when he does, Raab hooks him for Killerbuster, which he hits to devastating effect. He goes for the cover.*

“The winner of this match, Lord Raab!”
The cameras catch up backstage with Travis Deacon Hall as he is there looking at the backstage monitor.
Travis Deacon Hall: Damn it sucks to be Rick Man, right now after his loss in his return match but I'm not really talking about that.
Travis Deacon Hall: Look into my eyes when I say this, Darren Maddox. You have something that belongs to me and it's going to be mine again.
Travis Deacon Hall walks away as the show goes to a commercial break.
Greta Mace vs Elani Angelos
The show returns from commercials as Greta Mace and Eleni Angelos are already in the ring as the referee asks for the bell to ring to start the match.
Greta and Eleni lock up in a test of strength as Greta uses her speed advantage to transition the test of strength into an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex.
Greta then waits for Eleni to get back up to her feet and connects with the Sling blade. Eleni slowly gets back up to her feet as Greta knocks her down with the Spear.
Harley Meisner: This match has been solely in the favor of Greta Mace from the beginning.
Sara Butler: This isn't Eleni Angelos' first rodeo, she'll get back into the match.
George Sullivan: I would hope so because Greta has never looked so good as she does tonight in the ring.
Eleni rolls to the outside of the ring and Greta follows her out there only to be slammed back first into the barricade. Eleni does this a couple more times before throwing Greta back into the ring.
Eleni slides under the bottom rope back into the ring and picks up Greta and connects with a Russian Legswipe. Eleni then grabs the legs of Greta and applies the Sharpshooter.
Greta is scratching and clawing to get herself to the ropes but Eleni sees this and brings Greta back to the middle of the ring but Greta finally uses her last bit of strength to reach the bottom rope forcing Eleni to break the hold.
Harley Meisner: Eleni really brought back the fight to Greta.
Sara Butler: Greta needs to regroup if she wants to win here tonight.
George Sullivan: Eleni used the most of the outside to her advantage and now is in control of the match.
Eleni is stalking Greta as she gets back up to her feet. Greta ducks under Eleni's attempt at a Running Clothesline and then grabs the outstretched arm of Eleni and turns it into a Chicken Wing.
Eleni uses the ropes to power out of the Chicken Wing by Greta. Greta releases the hold and then applies a side headlock to Eleni as she tightens the grip of the hold.
Eleni is fading but at the last second is able to connect with a Side Walk Slam causing Greta to release the side headlock. Eleni now picks up Greta who instead kicks Eleni in the midsection and then connects with a DDT as now both women are down.
Harley Meisner: What a move there by Greta to Eleni.
Sara Butler: That DDT took its toil on both women.
George Sullivan: Whichever woman can get back to their feet first is going to win this match.
Greta kips up back to her feet and then signals for the end as she connects with the Knockout and goes for the cover as the referee counts.

Winner by Pinfall: Greta Mace!!!
Greta Mace celebrates her win in the ring while Eleni Angelos grabs her ICW World Tag Team Championship and heads back to the locker room area.
Greta is now making her way up the entrance ramp to the back. The camera follows Greta Mace as she is walking down the hall after just winning her match tonight. She is smiling and is in a good mood after winning her match as she arrives back at her locker room. She opens the door and immediately notices a card-sized white envelope on the floor just inside the door. She bends down and picks it up and slowly opens it. She takes out the piece of paper that is inside it and Greta reads what is written in what looks to be dried red blood:
"I AM WATCHING YOU DAY AND NIGHT"
Greta's good mood is now gone, along with her smile. She stands there with a very worried look on her face, her hands now shaking, her body trembling with nervousness.
Greta Mace: Who is doing this to me??
She continues to stand there in fear as she stares down at the paper with the message written in blood.
Main Event
Fire & Brimstone vs Big Randino & Dean Tyler
(James Gibbs stands on stage as the crowd cheers for him.)
George Sullivan: I wonder what this is about, this isn’t on my run sheet.
Harley Meisner: I’m not sure. I’m sure it has to do with the main event because we’re running out of time here.
Sara Butler: I guess we’ll let him talk.
James Gibbs: I know you guys are expecting a main event between the tag teams of Fire and Brimson and Big Randino and Dean Tyler, however, that match is being pushed back a week. Both teams got caught up in customs regarding their passports, there’s nothing we can do. BUT We’re gonna have a new main event here tonight! I’ve handpicked two wrestlers from the back and I let them know to get their gear on and warm up fast, so….Darren Maddon and Andrew Walker, let’s get this match started!
George Sullivan: Whoa! Talk about breaking news here! Darren is gonna be facing Andrew Walker here after the commercial break, stick around folks!
Harley Meisner: Aww man! I’m gonna miss Tiffany Saints.
Darren Maddox vs Andrew Walker
(As soon as the show comes back from the commercial, the ref rings the bell. As the bell rings, Darren Maddox and Andrew Walker start to circle each other. They lock up and Maddox gets the upper hand here in the early going by showing Walker into the corner, a hard chop across the chest wakes Walker up Walker and Maddox starts going back and forth here until Walker throws him to the outside of the ring and flexes a bit)
George Sullivan: I’m not sure that’s a good idea to do that.
Harley Meisner: Darren won’t fall for that.
(Darren slithers back into the ring and smacks Walker around for being cocky, this is where Darren starts to control the match, and has his way with Walker. A quick pin attempt after a back body drop.)
1………..
(Walker kicks out at the count of 1 but Darren hasn’t had enough of him, so he stays on the attack. He throws Walker to the outside of the ring. While out there, he throws Walker into the steps at ringside, then into the announce table. Darren rolls into the ring to break up the count of 10 the ref is doing, but Walker yanks him out of the ring and throws him into the barricade, he’s gonna steal this match!)
George Sullivan: He’s gonna steal this match from Darren here!
Harley Meisner: I hope not!
(Darren leaps into the ring at the count of 9 to break up the count, but Walker goes for a quick pin.)
1…..
2……..
(Darren kicks out at the count of 2. By throwing fists at him, Walker stays on the attack after the pin-fall attempt. Walker picks up and throws Darren into the turnbuckles, and charges towards him. Darren sidesteps him and Walker runs into the turnbuckles chest first, this gives Darren time to regather himself, Darren starts to stump on the man's chest and takes the momentum back that he had earlier.
George Sullivan: Darren is on fire here!
Harley Meisner: he is, he wasn’t expecting a match tonight but he’s showing off for the crowd here. Which could hurt him in the long run.
(Darren controls the match for a little bit longer before he stands in an athletic stance in the corner, he delivers a rib shattering spear on Walker before he goes for the pin.)

Raab reaches over the top rope to try and grab Rick, but Rick takes the arm and hangs Raab up on the top rope. Rick gets back in the ring and hits a running knee on Raab. Rick goes for a sidewalk slam, but Raab pushes out of it and when Rick turns around, Raab hits him with a big boot to the face.Raab then connects with a sidewalk slam of his own and pins Rick.*

Kickout!
*Raab picks Rick up by his hair and looks like he is going for a chokeslam, but when he lifts Rick up, Rick kicks him in the knee, so he is dropped, then Rick hits him with another kick to the knee, which causes Raab to go onto one knee, Rick comes off the ropes and hits him with a diving, sitting clothesline. He pounds Raab with some punches and forearms to the face and gets back to his feet, waiting for Raab to get to his feet, he pulls the elbow pad down, looking for the Bull’s Hammer, but as he runs at Raab, Raab ducks and puts his hand around Rick’s throat, finally hitting the chokeslam to great effect. Raab waits for Rick to get back to his feet and when he does, Raab hooks him for Killerbuster, which he hits to devastating effect. He goes for the cover.*

“The winner of this match, Lord Raab!”
The cameras catch up backstage with Travis Deacon Hall as he is there looking at the backstage monitor.
Travis Deacon Hall: Damn it sucks to be Rick Man, right now after his loss in his return match but I'm not really talking about that.
Travis Deacon Hall: Look into my eyes when I say this, Darren Maddox. You have something that belongs to me and it's going to be mine again.
Travis Deacon Hall walks away as the show goes to a commercial break.
Greta Mace vs Elani Angelos
The show returns from commercials as Greta Mace and Eleni Angelos are already in the ring as the referee asks for the bell to ring to start the match.
Greta and Eleni lock up in a test of strength as Greta uses her speed advantage to transition the test of strength into an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex.
Greta then waits for Eleni to get back up to her feet and connects with the Sling blade. Eleni slowly gets back up to her feet as Greta knocks her down with the Spear.
Harley Meisner: This match has been solely in the favor of Greta Mace from the beginning.
Sara Butler: This isn't Eleni Angelos' first rodeo, she'll get back into the match.
George Sullivan: I would hope so because Greta has never looked so good as she does tonight in the ring.
Eleni rolls to the outside of the ring and Greta follows her out there only to be slammed back first into the barricade. Eleni does this a couple more times before throwing Greta back into the ring.
Eleni slides under the bottom rope back into the ring and picks up Greta and connects with a Russian Legswipe. Eleni then grabs the legs of Greta and applies the Sharpshooter.
Greta is scratching and clawing to get herself to the ropes but Eleni sees this and brings Greta back to the middle of the ring but Greta finally uses her last bit of strength to reach the bottom rope forcing Eleni to break the hold.
Harley Meisner: Eleni really brought back the fight to Greta.
Sara Butler: Greta needs to regroup if she wants to win here tonight.
George Sullivan: Eleni used the most of the outside to her advantage and now is in control of the match.
Eleni is stalking Greta as she gets back up to her feet. Greta ducks under Eleni's attempt at a Running Clothesline and then grabs the outstretched arm of Eleni and turns it into a Chicken Wing.
Eleni uses the ropes to power out of the Chicken Wing by Greta. Greta releases the hold and then applies a side headlock to Eleni as she tightens the grip of the hold.
Eleni is fading but at the last second is able to connect with a Side Walk Slam causing Greta to release the side headlock. Eleni now picks up Greta who instead kicks Eleni in the midsection and then connects with a DDT as now both women are down.
Harley Meisner: What a move there by Greta to Eleni.
Sara Butler: That DDT took its toil on both women.
George Sullivan: Whichever woman can get back to their feet first is going to win this match.
Greta kips up back to her feet and then signals for the end as she connects with the Knockout and goes for the cover as the referee counts.

Winner by Pinfall: Greta Mace!!!
Greta Mace celebrates her win in the ring while Eleni Angelos grabs her ICW World Tag Team Championship and heads back to the locker room area.
Greta is now making her way up the entrance ramp to the back. The camera follows Greta Mace as she is walking down the hall after just winning her match tonight. She is smiling and is in a good mood after winning her match as she arrives back at her locker room. She opens the door and immediately notices a card-sized white envelope on the floor just inside the door. She bends down and picks it up and slowly opens it. She takes out the piece of paper that is inside it and Greta reads what is written in what looks to be dried red blood:
"I AM WATCHING YOU DAY AND NIGHT"
Greta's good mood is now gone, along with her smile. She stands there with a very worried look on her face, her hands now shaking, her body trembling with nervousness.
Greta Mace: Who is doing this to me??
She continues to stand there in fear as she stares down at the paper with the message written in blood.
Main Event
Fire & Brimstone vs Big Randino & Dean Tyler
(James Gibbs stands on stage as the crowd cheers for him.)
George Sullivan: I wonder what this is about, this isn’t on my run sheet.
Harley Meisner: I’m not sure. I’m sure it has to do with the main event because we’re running out of time here.
Sara Butler: I guess we’ll let him talk.
James Gibbs: I know you guys are expecting a main event between the tag teams of Fire and Brimson and Big Randino and Dean Tyler, however, that match is being pushed back a week. Both teams got caught up in customs regarding their passports, there’s nothing we can do. BUT We’re gonna have a new main event here tonight! I’ve handpicked two wrestlers from the back and I let them know to get their gear on and warm up fast, so….Darren Maddon and Andrew Walker, let’s get this match started!
George Sullivan: Whoa! Talk about breaking news here! Darren is gonna be facing Andrew Walker here after the commercial break, stick around folks!
Harley Meisner: Aww man! I’m gonna miss Tiffany Saints.
Darren Maddox vs Andrew Walker
(As soon as the show comes back from the commercial, the ref rings the bell. As the bell rings, Darren Maddox and Andrew Walker start to circle each other. They lock up and Maddox gets the upper hand here in the early going by showing Walker into the corner, a hard chop across the chest wakes Walker up Walker and Maddox starts going back and forth here until Walker throws him to the outside of the ring and flexes a bit)
George Sullivan: I’m not sure that’s a good idea to do that.
Harley Meisner: Darren won’t fall for that.
(Darren slithers back into the ring and smacks Walker around for being cocky, this is where Darren starts to control the match, and has his way with Walker. A quick pin attempt after a back body drop.)
1………..
(Walker kicks out at the count of 1 but Darren hasn’t had enough of him, so he stays on the attack. He throws Walker to the outside of the ring. While out there, he throws Walker into the steps at ringside, then into the announce table. Darren rolls into the ring to break up the count of 10 the ref is doing, but Walker yanks him out of the ring and throws him into the barricade, he’s gonna steal this match!)
George Sullivan: He’s gonna steal this match from Darren here!
Harley Meisner: I hope not!
(Darren leaps into the ring at the count of 9 to break up the count, but Walker goes for a quick pin.)
1…..
2……..
(Darren kicks out at the count of 2. By throwing fists at him, Walker stays on the attack after the pin-fall attempt. Walker picks up and throws Darren into the turnbuckles, and charges towards him. Darren sidesteps him and Walker runs into the turnbuckles chest first, this gives Darren time to regather himself, Darren starts to stump on the man's chest and takes the momentum back that he had earlier.
George Sullivan: Darren is on fire here!
Harley Meisner: he is, he wasn’t expecting a match tonight but he’s showing off for the crowd here. Which could hurt him in the long run.
(Darren controls the match for a little bit longer before he stands in an athletic stance in the corner, he delivers a rib shattering spear on Walker before he goes for the pin.)
