Intercontinental #1 Contender Tournament Round 1
Main Event
(The scene goes backstage)
(Darren Maddox is walking around backstage looking for his teenage son Maverick. He finally sees him getting a snack at the vending machine, so Darren promptly goes up to him.)
Darren Maddox: I've been looking for you. We gotta have us a talk...
(Maverick ignores Darren, makes his chocolate bar selection, then takes it from the machine once it drops down into the bottom tray.)
Darren Maddox: Don't ignore me Maverick. You and I need to have a talk about how bad you've been treating Rave lately.
Maverick Maddox: I've been treating him the way he deserves to be treated.
(Maverick turns and looks at his father.)
Maverick Maddox: I've been treating Rave like second best in our family because that's just what he is. He's second to me. I'm the first born child, so I say I have a right to treat him however I see fit.
Darren Maddox: This rebellious side of you... It's not good. What's going on with you?
Maverick Maddox: I don't have to tell you shit. Now, I'm gonna go eat my chocolate bar in peace. Somewhere away from YOU.
(The boy turns and starts to walk away... )
Darren Maddox: Don't you walk away from me. WE'RE NOT DONE WITH THIS CONVERSATION MAVERICK.
(But clearly Maverick is not wanting to talk to his father as he just walks away from Darren who is now looking angry in his frustration about why Maverick has become so rebellious.)
Jenn Makarios-Lopez vs John Blade
Jenn Makarios-Lopez vs John Blade
*The action started with the two circling each other, they finally came together in a collar elbow tie-up with John winning, pushing Jenn to the corner, he wound up and fired a punch, but she ducked out of the way and sent several kicks into John’s chest and stomach. When he staggered out of the corner, she hit him with a kick to the back of the knee, which took him down to one knee and followed up with a bulldog, she got a cover on him.*
Ref:

Kickout!
*Jenn followed this up by putting John in a side headlock, but John lifted her off the mat and deposited her on the ring apron, she let go, but immediately hit John with a guillotine on the top rope. She crawled in under the bottom rope and when John turned around, hit him with a flying forearm shot to the face. John is staggered, but doesn’t go down, Jenn goes off the ropes to try it again, but John is ready this time and hits her with a flying shoulderblock. He then picks her up and hits her with a press slam, he follows this up with a jumping knee drop and pins her.*

2….
Kickout!
*John pulls Jenn up by her hair and slaps her across the face, talking crap to her, then he throws her into the ropes, she comes off and ducks a clothesline, then comes off the ropes and hits him with a dropkick to the knee. She follows this up with a swinging neckbreaker, then a lightning fast legdrop. She doesn’t go for the cover, choosing instead to punch him several times in the face. She lets him get up and delivers a kick to the side of the head, which turns John around, when her turns around again, she kicks him in the stomach and positions him for the Aussie Blackout, but John spins out of this and takes her up on his shoulders for an Attitude Adjustment, but she flips out of this. She hits him with a springboard crossbody block, but he catches her and rolls through, once again positioning her for an AA, which he hits. He goes for the cover.*

Kickout!
*John can’t believe that she kicked out of his finisher, if only just, so he positions her for his other finisher, the STFU, but she gets to the ropes right away. She goes out under the bottom rope to get a breather. He follows her out and runs at her, she gets out of the way, tripping him, making him go face first into the ring steps, she tosses him back into the ring and goes to the top rope. When he gets up, shakily, she hits him with a meteora. She follows this up with a standing elbow drop. She goes for an armbar, but John shrugs her off, but he is still shaky, so she then hits him with another high kick to the side of the head and immediately goes for another Aussie Blackout, shich she hits to devastating effect. She goes for the cover.*

Winner: Jenn Makarios-Lopez via pinfall
In a dark cold room somewhere, George Helsing is seen stitching something together.
In the background We see The Enforcer throwing his hat and coat into a flaming barrel.
We can hear a hammer clanging against metal in the background.
The Enforcer breaths in deeply then lets out a breath with steam flowing from his mouth into the air.
The Enforcer: It's something about being in a dark and cold environment that just soothes My soul. Jackson Kent survived The Judgement Block... I will give the man his due that he survived... But his survival is only temporary because the next time We meet Jackson, You will not survive...
Helsing walks up to him with something new he created...
The Enforcer smiles in delight and begins to put it on.
He puts each arm in one sleeve at a time and reveals a robe with spikes and lifts a hood over his head.
The Enforcer's eyes then roll as the light from the flaming barrel is snuffed out.
The Enforcer speaks in the darkness.
The Enforcer: Jackson Kent, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for reawakening the desire I have within to reach My ultimate goal and that is to take your ICW World Heavyweight Championship... So, I'm laying down the challenge Anytime, Anyplace, Any Match type, You and Me One last time for the Championship. You pick the time and place and I'll leave the match type up to the top brass of ICW to decide the match type. I want you to think why it was so easy to defeat Me and ask yourself was it because You were the better man or was it merely luck? Because what you have awakened ICW has never seen. I will now transcend into a new form and upon Our next match You and all of ICW will witness first-hand what you have created...
The lights flicker for a second showing a mirror with something written in blood.
The camera zooms in to see it read " What was once a Man... Is now something more..."
Helsing then appears on the entrance ramp with a casket and holds up a microphone.
Gorge Helsing: ICW, What Jackson Kent has done to The Enforcer I thought I would never see... You have changed him, Jackson. He hasn't been the same since The Judgement Block. I felt his soul grow darker... He even has instructed me to show all of you a glimpse of what has Jackson Kent done...
He opens the casket, and We see a manikin of what The Enforcer used to look like.
Helsing takes gasoline and pours it over the casket and takes some matches and strikes them and tosses them into the casket.
The entire casket is engulfed in flames as Helsing can't even watch as a Gong sounds several times before the arena goes dark.
The lights come back on and we see only the urn that once controlled The Enforcer.

The previously recorded video begins inside the clubhouse of The Outsiders as there is caviar, champagne and cervezas (beer) as Punk Saints (Chris Punk & Robert Saints) are celebrating their record-breaking fifth championship victory at Damage Control in the 02 Arena in London, England.
Chris Punk: Those two who are a makeshift tag team in John Blade and Eleni Angelos actually thought that they stood a chance against us in the Steel Cage match, boy were they two stupid idiots and I love the look on Eleni Angelos' face at the end of the night when she saw the tag team championships slip through her fingers and she wasn't even involved in her losing the tag team championships.
Chris refills his glass of champagne and eats some caviar.
Robert Saints: I knew you had a plan in motion when you told me to not worry about Eleni Angelos in the match, that she would be dealt with and we were guaranteed to leave Damage Control as the new ICW World Tag Team Champions. John Blade, we might not see him back for some time after the beating that we gave him in the Steel Cage.
Robert pops open a can of Bud Lite Lime beer and eats some peanuts.
Travis Deacon Hall: Damn you Darren, you found a way to beat me and retain your ICW United States Championship against me in our Extreme Rules match. This is a minor setback because I'm not done making your life miserable. Darren, you need to keep your priorities straight otherwise then you're going to lose your championship. Greta, someone is stalking you and leaving you all those weird notes and letters; it might be a jealous ex or someone that is pining for you or maybe the biggest swerve that you'll never see coming that it's Darren doing it to you all along just so you would be too terrified to live on your own and have to live back with him. Darren, I know that you don't like when I bring your personal problems into our battles but quite frankly I don't give a damn what you say.
Travis cracks open a long neck beer and downs it as he is livid that he didn't beat Darren.
Rick Man: That damn sadistic wanker Lord Raab has won the vacant ICW Mayhem Championship in Sunday's TLC match, I know if I was able to have a one on one match for the championship then I would have beaten the bloke and would have walked out as the new ICW Mayhem Champion. Lord Raab, you keep that championship nice and shiny because I'm going to get it sooner than later and I'll prove that you're not the most extreme wrestler here on the ICW roster.
Rick Man pours himself a glass of red wine and enjoys the drink.
The Outsiders continue to party and celebrate their tag team championship victory as the video ends.

Darren Maddox vs Steven McKnight
(The bell rings as Darren Maddox and Steven Mcknight lock up in the middle of the ring. Mcknight tries to get the upperhand early but Maddox looks at him with a disappointed face before he scoops McKnight up for a slam, Mcknight rolls to the outside to get away from Maddox as he wasn’t expecting THAT to happen. Mcknight stands outside now and regroups.)
George Sullivan: Mcknight didn’t expect that from Maddox.
Harley Meisner: He’s just catching his breath, he has nothing to worry about.
Sara Butler: The match just started!
Harley Meisner: Mcknight is a big man!
(Maddox shakes his head towards Mcknight who is outside with his woman, and he refuses to come into the ring as McKnight is screaming for Maddox to move back even though Maddox isn’t doing anything. McKnight slides back into the ring and tries to go after Maddox by taking his leg but it doesn’t work. But Mcknight finally has Darren down. McKnight starts to overwork Maddox and keeps him grounded for a bit but Maddox starts to fight back.)
George Sullivan: Back and forth here.
Harley Meisner: It’s ok, Mcknight has this in the bag!
(The match starts going back and forth between them, until the match spills to the outside. For now, Mcknight has the advantage but that changes when Maddox throws McKnight face first into the ring post and he hits it with a thud and bounces off the ground as well. Maddox uses this as an opportunity to roll McKnight into the ring and goes for the cover,)

(McKnight kicks out at the count of 2. Maddox, the wise veteran that he is, stays on the attack. He doesn’t let McKnight get to his feet as he’s using his ground and pound moves on him.)
George Sullivan: This is wise.
Harley Meisner: Cheating!
Sara Butler: Oh hush.
(Mcknight gets up on his feet and he starts to go blow for blow with Maddox again. The crowd is enjoying the back and forth between them, every time Mcknight throws fists, boos rains down but when Maddox throws a punch they cheer. However, Mcknight tries to do too much that hurts him when Maddox counters a move, Maddox throws Mcknight shoulder first into the ring post and he uses that to his advantage and starts to work the arm and shoulder, and the legs too to keep the big man down. Maddox has the advantage in the closing parts of this match, he hits McKnight with a one mighty blow and Mcknight falls to the mat, Maddox goes for the cover)

(Inside the ring stands the World Champion Jackson Kent who has a microphone in his hand as he looks out at the fans with a smirk.)
Jackson Kent: I thought I would come out here and share with all of you the best news I could ever receive from management regarding my world title match against Enforcer at Summer Heat.
Jackson Kent: You see, I just got out of a very important meeting with James Gibbs where I have just been informed that if Enforcer does not beat me at Summer Heat he will NOT get any more world title shots as long as I am the World Champion!
Jackson Kent: Oh come on now, don't be like that. Just because you all are constantly kissing Enforcer's ass over and over again by cheering him everywhere he goes, that doesn't mean you have to be disrespectful to me. In fact, even after I won this world title, you people are STILL disrespecting me. You boo me when I'm not a champ. You boo me when I AM a champ. I mean, what is it with you people? It's just NEVER ENOUGH for you, is it. Since Enforcer got to choose the stipulation for our last 2 matches... I get the opportunity of choosing the stipulation for our final match. So everyone will be seeing Enforcer get his ass handed to him in a Monster's Ball match.

(The fans start to boo!!!)
(Jackson walks around the ring as he is about to continue speaking, when suddenly we now see The Enforcer appear on the Tron! The fans cheer! Jackson is looking at the Tron and is not happy with this interruption.)
The Enforcer: Jackson Kent....You must really be afraid of me....since you have now gone to Gibbs and asked to have it in writing that I get no more shots against you after Summer Heat. That right there is a coward's move....
Jackson Kent: Oh no it's not! And for your information asshole, I did not go to Gibbs asking for this. It was Gibbs who summoned me to the meeting.
The Enforcer: You know, it really does not matter...because I won't be needing any more title shots against you to take the world championship away from you Kent. It won't be needed because I will be DEFEATING YOU AT SUMMER HEAT! I will be taking that world title from you, leaving you with absolutely nothing!
The Enforcer: Just like you did to ME! You took everything away from me! So now.....I take everything away from you!
(Jackson is now upset and throws down his microphone and starts yelling at the Tron to Enforcer! Enforcer keeps a serious face as the live stream on the Tron fades out.)

Sara Butler: What an incredible match! Dean Tyler showed his determination and skill tonight. But remember ladies and gentle, still to come are more epic battles for the IC Title Contendership.

Sara Butler: Wait a minute, who is that?
George Sullivan: It's GHOST! The one who messed up with Lord Raab at Damage Control!

Harley Meisner: He just can't resist causing chaos!

*The ring shows a beige carpet, cake on the table, beige balloons and a banner saying “Better than him”. Steph, Brandon and Chris are on the ring holding champagne drink on their hands, Steph has the microphone on her other hand getting ready to announce to start the show but the fans won’t let her speak as all the fans are booing her loudly.*
George Sullivan: The fans are not going to let her speak and I don’t blame them for doing that. I don’t care what she’s going to say but a celebration for him that he’s beaten him and the banner saying” Better than him.”? Hahaha very funny, it’s was only one match that he won so far this year.
Sara Butler: I agree you George, Ian won with the help of his lap dogs to James Walker. As I didn’t get to see the chance of James Walker chokeslamming Steph at the PPV.
Steph: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of the handicap match against James Walker, my boyfriend and soon to be husband Ian Johnstone!
*The entrance theme hits with dig deep with MJF theme, Ian shows up on the stage with a smirk on his face. Walking down the ramp slowly flipping each fans off with his smirks while the fans booing him, he walks up the steel steps when Steph, Chris and Brandon are clapping then Ian gets on the ring shakes hand with Chris and Brandon but kisses Steph on the lips like a full make out. Ian Grabs the microphone from the table to get ready to speak but suddenly the lights in the arena went red and white rabbit by Jefferson Airplane theme hits where James Walker Ian on the titantron wearing suit and sunglasses.*
James Walker: Ian, sorry for ruining your “special” parade of beating me at the PPV but you had the help from your two lap dogs, Brendan and Chris. I was giving the fans delightful entertainment to chokeslamm my ex wife Steph while you struck a steel chair to the back of my head and no I’m not upset about it cause I’m happy about it. You have brought something back to me during that match and it have reunited with me.
*James smiled sadistically after speaking.*
James Walker: It’s not the nightmare fiend, that’s already gone cause the one I’m talking about is a different one and it’s far more dangerous than you think. When I was a teenager, I was having a good sleep until I was met an ego who brings fear on anyone. That alter ego gave me something special to put fear on bullies who I’ve been damaged for a long time as I hunt them down at night to make sure that they don’t cross paths with me again and it stopped. It been hidden away since I was wresting in this company, waiting for someone to bring it back to me and that person is you Ian. It will help me to get my revenge on you and my ex wife but not now cause you have a person who wants unfinished business with you Ian and I think you know who’s that person is.
*Mutombo appears on the entrance stage, while James Walker disappears from titantron leaving the letters on the titantron “FEED YOUR HEAD” and a white rabbit demon staring at the camera with bright red eyes, drooling blood from its mouth and left arm covered in blood. Mutombo gets ready to speak.*
Harley Meisner: It’s Mutombo, he’s back and he’s here on a mission!
George Sullivan: The Ugandan Monster is back and he’s staring at his enemy Ian and it looks like he got something to say!
Mutombo: Ian, I have unfinished business with you since I remember that you were holding my parents as captives while I do all of your dirty work. Next PPV, time to face your punishment inside a UGANDAN PRISON CELL MATCH! You’ll be locked inside the cell with me on that very ring, you will not escape or hide from me. Next week I’ll be facing Chris the man who is the longest reigning Intercontinental champion one on one in a glass table match then I’ll face Brandon after next week in a street fight match so I can take two lap dogs out of the equation so I can have you to myself. Ian you better not bring that slut with you to our match at the PPV cause she will get knocked out by me and that’s on you. Oh by the way, cut the cake open and you’ll see what James have left you.
*Mutombo leaves the stage then Ian cuts the cake open then blood starts pouring from the cake and Ian backs away from fear as the camera sees a rabbit skull inside the cake.*
Sara Butler: Is that a rabbit skull in that cake from what I’m seeing?
Harley Meisner: Yeah it is Sara, Looks like James have ruined Ian’s celebration tonight and I’m glad that his party is ruined!
George Sullivan: Don’t forget that Mutombo has challenged Ian in an Ugandan Prison Cell Match! Also two other matches against Ian’s lapdogs before the PPV. I wonder what is James Walker planning right now?

TJ Alexander vs Rick Man
The show returns from commercials with TJ Alexander and Rick Man already in the ring as the referee calls for the bell to ring to start the match.
The show returns from commercials with TJ Alexander and Rick Man already in the ring as the referee calls for the bell to ring to start the match.
TJ and Rick Man lock up in a test of strength with TJ getting the upper hand and transitioning it into an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex. TJ waits for Rick to get back up to his feet before he runs at Rick knocking him down to the mat with the Sling Blade.
TJ waits for Rick to get back to his feet and then runs at him but Rick is able to connect with a right arm punch knocking TJ down to the mat. Rick then throws TJ into one of the corners and starts punching away at the body of TJ.
TJ crumbles onto the mat as Rick is taunting TJ to get back up to his feet. TJ grabs the arm of Rick and throws him down to the mat with a British Armdrag.
Harley Meisner: TJ was able to weather that early storm from Rick and is back in control now.
Sara Butler: Rick will regroup, just wait and see.
George Sullivan: Rick needs this win tonight if he wants to shut up the doubters, the haters and especially TJ himself.
Rick and TJ lock up in another test of strength but this time instead of getting the upper hand, TJ is raked in the eyes right in front of the referee.
The referee gives Rick a warning to not do it again. Rick obliges and then locks on a headlock onto TJ as he still can't see due to the rake of the eyes earlier by Rick.
Rick continues to crank on the pressure of the headlock as the referee checks to make sure it's not an illegal choke hold. TJ finally starts fighting back with elbows to the midsection causing Rick's grip to slacking before TJ is able to hit a Side slam getting Rick off of him.
Harley Meisner: TJ was in that headlock for a long time so no idea how much damage it has done to the head and neck of TJ.
Sara Butler: Rick needs to regain the momentum otherwise this one is over.
George Sullivan: Now that TJ has a few minutes to allow air back into his lungs, he needs to think up a way to put Rick away.
TJ slowly gets back up to his feet but behind Rick who doesn't seem to notice until TJ picks him up on his shoulders and connects with One Winged Angel.
TJ goes for the cover but only gets a long two counts from the referee. TJ starts clapping the mat like the terminator call as Rick is on spaghetti legs and turns around into the Game Over by TJ.
TJ goes for the cover as the referee counts the three counts as Rick was one second too late to kick out of the pinfall attempt.
Winner: TJ Alexander by Pinfall!!!
TJ celebrates his victory in the ring as Rick heads back to the locker room area as the show goes to a commercial break.

Police Detective: I'm here to let you know that we've apprehended the man who has been stalking you.
Greta Mace: Really?? That's great!!
Police Detective: He's being booked into the jail as we speak. This brings you a lot of relief I hope.
Greta Mace: Oh yes it sure does!! How did you catch him??
Police Detective: The letters and cards you gave us for evidence that he sent you, we had it all analyzed for DNA, then we ran the results through our system and we got a match. This guy has previous offenses against him involving women.
Greta Mace: So he's already known to police? This could have got so much worse for me. Thank you so much detective for all your hard work and your team as well. Thank you for coming here to tell me this. It really puts my mind at ease now. It's been so hard to have to be looking over my shoulder constantly and I've lost so much sleep over this.

The show returns from commercials as Floyd McCarver and James Walker are already in the ring as the referee checks both men for illegal objects before asking for the bell to ring to start the match.
Immediately both men lock up in a test of strength in the middle of the ring. Floyd easily overpowers James slamming him down to the mat with great force. Floyd is stalking James as he gets back up to his feet. James runs at Floyd knocking him down with the Sling Blade.
James continues the pressure on Floyd who throws James far away with his impressive strength. Floyd grabs James and locks in a Bear hug. Floyd continues to increase the pressure of the Bear hug as the referee makes sure that the hold isn't illegal or that James hasn't passed out from the hold.
Harley Meisner: The referee in the key location to make sure if James passes out or not.
Sara Butler: James is far from over here, he'll get back into this match.
George Sullivan: Floyd needs to keep on the pressure if he wants to win here tonight against James.
James' arm falls the first time as the referee counts one, the arm of James falls a second time as the referee counts two. The arm of James begins dropping but he stops himself as James begins willing himself back to a fighting stance and begins punching away at the face of Floyd.
Floyd transitions the Bear hug into an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex. Floyd is in the three point stance as he goes for Carved Up but James answers with a High Knee to the head of Floyd. Floyd is dazed on his feet as James climbs to the middle ropes and dives off with a dropkick off the ropes.
James drops Floyd with the dropkick and then picks him up and connects with the Rabbit's Bite and then goes for the cover as the referee counts the three counts.
Harley Meisner: What a match by these two men!
Sara Butler: Floyd brought it tonight but it just wasn't enough to pick up the win.
George Sullivan: With this victory that means James moves on in the tournament.
James celebrates in the ring as Floyd exits the ring after shaking the hand of James, showing sportsmanship.
Floyd heads for the back as the show goes to a commercial break.

Nakano: It has now been 6 months since I won this women's championship. I have done nothing but dominate every opponent I have faced in the ring and still no one can beat me! That is why I have been the champion this long!
Nakano: Every woman on this roster knows to fear me and all of them are afraid to fight me because they all know they cannot beat me. I am undefeated! I cannot be stopped! I am the strongest woman on this roster. No one even comes close to my physical strength and power. My mental game is unmatched because everyone in this women's division are too stupid to outthink me in the ring.
(Nakano has every right to feel proud of herself and she plans to keep going with this successful championship reign.)
Nakano: I have yet to face a real challenge from any of the women on this roster. I fight all challengers!! It is time for someone to step up their game and try to beat me! But that will not happen because there is no one here who can defeat me!!

(Crow kicks out at the count of 2 and both men stay on the mat for an extra second to gather themselves.)
George Sullivan: This match is starting to wear down these two.
Harley Meisner: but they shouldn’t! They have a chance to move on in this tournament to face Eddie Jr for the IC title, they better step up or else this opportunity will slip through their fingers.
Sara Butler: They’ll only have themselves to blame
(Once they got back on their feet, they start going back and forth here, with some close near falls for both of them but neither reached the 3 count so the match keeps going on. Crow starts to get the advantage when he throws Youngblood's shoulder into the ring post, and he starts to work over his shoulder, but that doesn’t help with the power that Youngblood still has. Youngblood starts to fight out of the move and goes on the defense.)
George Sullivan: This match has been great for both of them, but someone will make a mistake.
Harley Meisner: It’s getting towards the end of the match, who has the strength to rise above.
