[Friday Night Thunder Opening Sequence]
(The show goes to inside the ring where 'The Viper' Robert Saints is standing with The Outsiders manager Simon Birch. Robert is all set to host another instalment of The Snake Pit.)
Robert Saints: I want to welcome all of you to another edition of The Snake Pit! And my special guest is ICW manager, Ridley!
(“Dead Man Walking” by David Bowie hits the arena speakers and Ridley comes out to the stage and the fans cheer! Ridley walks down the ramp, goes up the steel steps and gets into the ring. A few moments later, his music fades out. Ridley stands a distance away from Robert and Simon.)
Robert Saints: Good evening Ridley. This man standing next to me is The Outsiders' manager Simon Birch, in case you don’t already know.
Ridley: I already know.
Robert Saints: Alright then. Let’s get down to the questions that I’ve been wanting to ask you Ridley. Now first of all, you are the manager of ICW rookie Greta Mace, so let me ask you, how is she as a wrestler from when she first arrived in ICW up until now?
Ridley: Greta has improved a lot since she started here. She works very hard in her training to make herself better and I really respect her for that.
Robert Saints: Do you see her winning this number one contender match she has later tonight?
Ridley: Yes of course. Greta never enters a match with the mindset of losing. She’s out to win this match and I have all confidence in her to do just that.
(Simon Birch now decides to intervene on the interview.)
Simon Birch: If I may get in on this for just a moment. I chose to be present for The Snake Pit tonight because I myself have some “doubts” shall I say, as to your ability to be a wrestling manager. So let me ask you Ridley, Greta’s improvements thus far, do you not feel that they are because of what she has done on her own, and not what YOU have done to help her get to where she’s at now?
Ridley: Greta has done great for herself. Sure I’ve been at her side the whole time, but I never take all the credit for it. Her doing better is pretty much because of her determination and will to succeed. She’s a lot tougher than what people give her credit for. Don’t let the soft exterior looks fool you. She’s a good person.
Simon Birch: Yes that may be true, but I’m just wondering why exactly are you her manager? Are you even qualified to manage in wrestling?
(Ridley’s eyebrows turn in a little. He’s not stupid. He knows when someone is trying to stir the pot in a bad way with him.)
Ridley: I am Greta’s manager because she asked me to be. Her and I met in Las Vegas. She was all alone and I was already a manager in ICW. I suggested she come back to ICW with me to get her away from the dangers of Las Vegas, so she said alright. She came back with me and she joined ICW and wanted to see how she would do as a wrestler, what with her being on the wrestling team back in her school days. She was a damn good wrestler back then, so she wanted to learn how to wrestle in a ring, so she learned. She then asked me shortly after that if I would manage her, so I said sure.
Simon Birch: Do you even have any wrestling experience yourself?
Ridley: You don’t have to be a wrestler yourself to be a manager in wrestling. In fact, some of the greatest managers have never wrestled a match in their lives.
(Robert now chimes in on this conversation.)
Robert Saints: Simon here is one of the best managers in wrestling. He has done an excellent job so far for The Outsiders. I think perhaps you could learn some things from Simon. Maybe you should start paying attention to how Simon manages and start taking notes Ridley. Because the way I see it, I don’t really think you belong in wrestling as a manager.
(Ridley pauses for a moment, then responds.)
Ridley: Oh really? And why would you think that? Are you suddenly the expert on how to be a good manager in wrestling?
(Robert Saints chuckles a bit.)
Robert Saints: I’ll have you know that my family has been in the wrestling business for generations and generations. So yes, I would be an expert at knowing how a manager should work and what they should do.
Robert Saints: But the issue me and Simon have with you is that you shouldn’t be in ICW. You don’t belong here. The place where YOU belong Ridley is back in Las Vegas, because everyone knows how much of a gambling problem you have. Everyone knows that’s your greatest weakness.
(Simon gives a smirk at Ridley.)
Simon Birch: Yes! That’s right! YOU Ridley should go back to the world of gambling where you truly belong! You have no place here in ICW!
(The fans are now booing Simon and Robert for their rude comments towards Ridley. Ridley however is not hurt at all by their words. He replies without emotion.)
Ridley: Well, I see that now the BEST part of this edition of The Snake Pit has finally arrived....
Robert Saints: Oh yeah?
Simon Birch: And just what part would that be?
Ridley: The part where I tell you both to MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!!
(Robert and Simon have angry expressions now on their faces. Ridley casually tosses his microphone up in the air and it lands on the mat loud! Ridley climbs out of the ring and heads up the ramp with a look on his face to say he is not affected by the ridiculing of Robert and Simon.)
Sara Butler: I don’t believe this. Was it really necessary for Robert and Simon to treat Ridley this way?
Harley Misner: Well I guess they felt if they had something to say to Ridley, then The Snake Pit would be the best place to do it.
George Sullivan: I think it was rude on the part of Robert Saints and Simon Birch.
Sara Butler: I agree. Ridley is a fine manager. He is doing a great job for Greta Mace! Yes it’s known he has a gambling problem, but he shouldn’t be called out for it right here on national television! Shame on Robert and Simon!
(The show goes to commercials.)
Tag Team Match
Dean N' Destiny vs The Club
*While Jamo is at backstage watching the match on tv, he noticed his wife's bag has fallen over, then he sees the pregnancy test showing that is test positive for pregnant! Jamo’s eyes wide open and looks back at the tv knowing that his wife is competing the match while pregnant! He rushed to the door, break through it, then begins running at the hallway while the cameraman sees Jamo running and decides to record him during backstage.*
George Sullivan: Jamo is here tonight! Why is he running at backstage? Is he going to interrupt the match tonight? Look! He’s got something in his hand!
Sara Butler: That’s the pregnancy tester! It belongs to his wife Steph! Rumour about her condition is that she’s pregnant! I mean look at Steph’s belly right now!
Harley Meisner: Oh Sara, I can see that right now. I think Jamo is here to stop the match before his wife gets hurt!
*Camera briefly goes to The Enforcer who is standing backstage watching one of the monitors, watching all of this unfold.*
*Camera now switches back to the match, Steph grabs Destiny’s head by attempting the headlock move. Camera sees that Steph is telling Destiny something while she’s headlocking her.*
Steph: Destiny please listen to me, I’m pregnant ok and please let me overwhelmed you for this match. Don’t let Dean tagged himself in please, I don’t want to get hurt ok?
George Sullivan: Did Steph told her that she’s pregnant?
Sara Butler: Yes she did George and she’s telling her to let Steph overpower her for the match tonight. I hopes she does accept Steph’s wishes cause I don’t want to see her get hurt!
*Destiny nods her head yes to let Steph overwhelmed her, Steph lets go of the headlock and attempts the short arm clothesline move then hits a few stomps on her. Dean begins to shout for support for his girlfriend Destiny to get back up, Steph picks up Destiny to hit a few of chest chops to back her up at the corner of the ring then hits the elbow strike on her head. Steph backs away from her, Destiny rushes towards her but Steph counters into a neckbreaker and Steph shows a pained face after hitting the neckbreaker.*
Destiny: Steph are you ok?
Steph: Yes I’m fine, let’s continue please.
Harley Meisner: Steph is not looking good right now after hitting the neckbreaker on Destiny, it must’ve hurt her back after doing that.
George Sullivan: The match needed to be stopped right now, but she wanted to continue the match!
*Steph whips Destiny to the ropes, Destiny stops by holding the ropes to stop running then Dean tagged himself in while Steph clothesline her out of the mat and Steph begins to feel pain from her stomach trying to get to Andrew to make the tag. Andrew begins to worry about her and trying to extend the reach for Steph to get tagged in but it’s too late, Dean stands in front of her and looks confused by Steph’s pain.*
Dean Andry: Steph, ya actin' strange right now, but I ain’t got no time for ya strange actin'! I know ya tryin' to trick me, n' it ain't gonna work on Dean Boy here!! It's time to end this!!
*Dean is about to hits his finisher move Mental Instability, but Jamo has slided in to get on the ring then rushes towards to Dean and hits the Claymore Kick with his right foot sideways by knocking him out cold! Referee rings for the bell for disqualification after seeing Jamo attacked Dean! Jamo tosses the referee out of the ring and grabbed the microphone!*
Sara Butler: Jamo has knocked out Dean and saved his wife from any more damages to his newborn kids!
Jamo: Before I was about to say what I did to your friend Darren Dean, there is something else you should know. I knocked your ass out cold by saving my wife from you just now, while you were about to hit your finisher on her 'cause my wife is PREGNANT! She told Destiny to let her overwhelm your girl so no one knows that she’s having my kids which are twins!
Harley Meisner: Holy hell, Steph is having twins!
Jamo: I won that match against Darren, yes I made a promise to lil' Mav, but during that match I could not break character! I know Darren's having a back injury, I played as the bad guy against him while he was the good guy during the match. So get this through your demented brain Dean! it’s just business, not damn personal Dean!
Jamoe: Enforcer, we fought well but I was the better man at WrestleCade and in answer to your challenge at Damage Control is, I ACCEPT!
Jamo: Now next week I got a bloody good proposition for both of you next week, show up and I’ll tell you both my offer. I’ll leave my boys behind at backstage so we all can settle like men.
Jamo: Destiny, thank you for letting Steph control the match and I apologise for knocking your man out, so congrats on the win by DQ.
Jamo: Andrew and boys, start the damn car 'cause we all gotta take my wife to the damn hospital!
*Jamo picks Steph up and carry her in his arms after carefully getting his wife out of the ring. Jamo rushes to the backstage by going through the side of the stage then the car arrives while his friends Chris and Brandon arrived in the car. Jamo puts Steph in the car, Jamo and Andrew gets in then the car drives away to start heading to the hospital.*
George Sullivan: That kick that Jamo did was a powerful one to knock Dean out that fast! Thank god that Jamo saved his wife from any harm. Hope his wife Steph is ok when they get to the hospital and most of all hope his twins are ok.
Winners: Dean N' Destiny via Disqualification
Intercontinental Championship Tournament Match
Steven McKnight vs Colt Knox
(The bell for the match rings. As soon as it rings Knox charges towards McKnight, and slams him into the corner. The bigger man starts to quickly ram his shoulders into the gut of McKnight. 4 or 5 shoulder rams later the ref gets involved and shoves Knox away from McKnight.)
George Sullivan: Knox came out of the match fighting.
Harley Meisner: I think he wants to show everyone that he’s not a person to be taken lightly. He’s serious and he’s proving it. He wants the belt, he’s hungry.
Sara Butler: Yeah, but he has to be careful, McKnight will fight back, he won’t go down without a fight.
(The match moves forward, McKnight finally got out of the gate by throwing fists, which connected. Both men go back and forth most of this match, trading fists, kicks, elbows, and the ever-popular neck breaker. McKnight manages to get the bigger man on the ground and keep him grounded for a short while. He’s working on his legs, and without legs, Knox won’t have much power to work with. McKnight keeps working on the legs, both legs, not just one. After a while, Knox finds a way to get back into the match. He still has his arms so he threw McKnight out of the ring to the floor below, in front of the announcer’s table.)
George Sullivan: did you hear that thud?!
Sara Butler: Big man meets the floor, it always happens that way. It shook my can of cola too.
(Knox slaps his legs to get the blood flow back into them, he rolls outside of the ring after McKnight. The battle outside of the ring for a bit, knocking things over as they do so, and shifting the announce table by an inch of 2. Like 2 bulls in a china shop, they finally go back into the ring after the ref got to the count of 9. Ringside looks like a tornado went through.)
Harley Meisner: I feel bad for the people who have to clean this up.
George Sullivan: you can!
Harley Meisner: Nah.
(Back in the ring now, both men start to lose energy as the match goes on, Knox and McKnight are close in battle here and the battle bruises are starting to show up. Knox has a big black and blue mark on his back after he hit the steps, McKnight has a scuffed up head.)
George Sullivan: This match is taking it’s toll on these men.
(In the closing moments of this match, McKnight goes for the “McKnight's Verdict” but Knox gets out of that move. Knox then throws McKnight into the corner, followed by a thunderous clothesline. They battle for a little bit more before Knox goes for the “School of Hard Knox”. He covers McKnight.
1……..
2……….
3!
George Sullivan: What a big win here for Knox!
Harley Meisner: Hardly, McKnight should have won! Knox cheated, the shoulder was up. We need to see a replay.
George Sullivan: no replay for you!
(McKnight looks out of the ring in disgust, before walking away. Knox walks around the ring to celebrate.)
Winner: Colt Knox via Pinfall
(As Colt is still in the ring celebrating his win all of a sudden Back In Black begins playing throughout the PA System as ICW Owner James Gibbs comes out onto the rampway. He makes his way down the ring, as he steps into the ring he grabs a microphone.)
James Gibbs: Congrats on your victory here tonight Colt.
(Colt nods his head towards James.)
James Gibbs: But that also means that you will be pulling double duty at Damage Control.
George Sullivan: What! What is James talking about, unless I'm missing something the only match Colt has is the Intercontinental Championship match.
James Gibbs: Well as you know you will be competing in the finals of the tournament in a triple threat match against the winners of the other matches tonight. But you will also be competing in a Unification Match, to unify the Payne Championship and the Xtreme Championship. Good luck Mr. Knox on both of these matches.
(James drops the microphone as he heads back up the rampway, as Colt then climbs out of the ring and exits towards the back.)
Intercontinental Championship Tournament Match
Knight Blaze vs Ace Reigns
The show returns from a commercial break with Rick Henderson in the ring ready to call the next match.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it's the opening round match for the ICW Intercontinental Championship Tournament. In the red corner is Ace Reigns! and in the blue corner is his opponent, Knight Blaze!
Rick Henderson exits the ring as the referee brings both men to the middle of the ring and begins to review that they were both given exact rules of this match before in their locker rooms. Both men look at the referee who then asks for the bell to ring to start this match.
Ace Reigns and Knight Blaze start with a fist fight in the middle of the ring as neither is willing to go first for a grapple move on the other just yet. Ace Reigns and Knight Blaze lock up in a stalemate that pushes both men into the ropes where the referee finally separates the two men. The referee yells at both men to actually fight each other and stop pussying around this isn't boxing, this professional wrestling god damn it.
Knight Blaze doesn't have to be told twice as he transitions a Test of Strength into a Back to Belly Suplex knocking Ace Reigns down to the ring mat. Ace Reigns pulls himself back up to his feet and then returns the Suplex with one of his own as he connects with the Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex to Knight Blaze.
Knight Blaze starts to get back up to his feet but he doesn't exactly get to a full standing stance as he remains in a three point stance as Ace Reigns gets back up to his feet and then Knight Blaze then runs at Ace Reigns knocking him down with the Spear.
Harley Meisner: What a Spear there by Knight Blaze to Ace Reigns! Knight Blaze might have Speared Ace Reigns straight out of his boots.
Sara Butler: I'll say it again, it's still very early in this match to count out Ace Reigns yet.
George Sullivan: That might be true but if Ace Reigns doesn't himself back into this match then he's going to lose this match.
Knight Blaze goes for the cover on Ace Reigns but the referee only counts to two before Ace Reigns grabs the bottom rope forcing Knight Blaze to break his pinfall attempt. Knight Blaze picks up Ace Reigns and Irish whips him into the ropes and upon his return, Knight Blaze connects with the Samoan Drop.
Ace Reigns rolls out of the ring in order to catch his breath and also to stop the momentum of Knight Blaze. Knight Blaze goes to the ringside apron and then jumps off with an Cactus Elbow knocking down Ace Reigns onto the arena floor.
The referee begins counting out both men on the outside of the ring. The referee is heard yelling at both men to get the action back into the ring because if they don't get into the ring before he gets to the ten counts then he has no problem counting out both men out of this match and giving their next opponent in this tournament a bye to the Finals. Knight Blaze and Ace Reigns rolls into the ring at the nine counts barely almost losing this match by double count out.
Harley Meisner: That was real close of being a double count out match ending but lucky both Knight Blaze and Ace Reigns got back into the ring before the referee got to the ten counts.
Sara Butler: This match is proving to be a slobber knocker seeing as both men hold a high regard for the ICW Intercontinental Championship and that they want to be the first one to hold it here in ICW.
George Sullivan: These two men know that the Intercontinental Championship is the work horse championship so they're both willing to go all out in this match to prove to not just themselves but to everyone else including management that they're more than ready to become the first Intercontinental Champion in ICW history.
Knight Blaze and Ace Reigns are back in the middle of the ring as they lock up into another Test of Strength with Knight Blaze once again turning it into a Back to Belly Suplex. Knight Blaze slams Ace Reigns down onto the mat and then picks up him again and connects with a second Suplex and then a third one before going for a bridge pin but Ace Reigns gets his right shoulder off the mat breaking Knight Blaze's cover.
Knight Blaze gets back up to his feet and then kicks Ace Reigns in the midsection and then connects with the Blood Dropper and then gets the three counts as the referee counts the pinfall. Knight Blaze jumps up to his feet and then begins celebrating his victory before the referee walks over to him and raises his arm to signify that he's the winner of the match before going to check on Ace Reigns.
Harley Meisner: What a performance there by Knight Blaze as he dominated over Ace Reigns in this match here tonight.
Sara Butler: Congratulations to Knight Blaze on moving forward in this tournament for the ICW Intercontinental Championship.
George Sullivan: Ace Reigns brought the fight here tonight and he shouldn't be ashamed of his performance here tonight because he is a top caliber talent here in ICW.
Knight Blaze exits the ring and heads back to his locker room while the show fades to black before going to a commercial break.
Winner: Knight Blaze by Pinfall.
(The filmed segment opens up in a remote camping spot in Arizona. We see the girls, Renegades Elite, sitting around a campfire as it’s twilight in the Arizona wilderness. The fire crackles as ash embers float across the night air, with a slight breath of air by the trees and cacti. The dogs they brought are sleeping without noise.)
Jenn: Ahhhh! Some much-needed vacation time, between this stupid lockdown garbage and over 10 years of doing this shit, I deserve a vacation, you do too, Gracie.
Gracie: Yes.
Jenn: I mean we were gonna take a vacation at the start of the year after that other company fired us but this pandemic garbage happened and everything closed down, it was a mess, But now… here we are, finally.
Gracie: You know people are going to complain after you said you’ll be there every week.
Jenn: who cares? I said I’ll be on every show, I didn’t say how I would be.
(A big beautiful lady shows up with a HUGE arm full of wood before dropping it next to the campfire. Madison shows up as well, behind her but not with the same amount of firewood but enough where she can see over. She also drops it by the campfire. Both ladies take a seat in their respective chairs, and Kayla also makes her way from the darkness.)
Jenn: All of us are here now!
Gracie: Yess! Let’s get down to business… Madison…. Last week your match was...amazing!
Jenn: Yes it was! You didn’t win, but you didn’t lose either. I call it a successful debut.
Madison: Thanks, guys. It actually felt good to make that debut now, I don’t have that monkey on my back anymore. I was scared to death.
Gracie: Happened to me.
Jenn: Me too. But you did well, that match even had extra eyes watching it just for you, i know a couple of people who don’t work here, they were watching it.
Madison: I gotta call them up soon.
Jenn: yes, you should.
Kayla: What do you guys think of the women’s number one contendership?
Jenn: Honestly? Greta won’t win. She can’t win the big one to save her life, let alone beat Herra? If that happened the world will stop. So, I’m gonna be seeing Herra one way or another. I’m never wrong.
Gracie: and I hope I’m in that Intercontinental championship thing they have going, but we’ll see. If not…. I’ll force myself in it. They better choose wisely on what they do.
Madison: Sooo, what’s her story?
(Madison looks over to the new girl, placing the firewood in a neat pile. The girl turns around, the fire glowing in her face.)
Female: My story?
Jenn: She’s…. New to the group.
Madison: New?!
Jenn: Yeah, Eddie isn’t part of the group like people think he is. He’s associated with the group, yes but he’s not a full member.
Madison: Oh, yeah that makes sense.
Jenn: Coulda told us before the bio went up, but he’s busy though with his golf resort opening back up again and whatnot, he wants to make sure things open properly. So…. explain yourself new girl. People wanna know!
Voice: Ok, so I’m Morgan Manning. I’ve lived door to Jenn for… what 7 months now? I know I haven’t been seen around her or the group, but work kept that from happening. She gave me the opportunity to come on this trip with you guys and I couldn’t say no.
Madison: Nice! Well, any friend of Jenn’s is a friend of mine.
Gracie: I agree! Morgan, you’re gonna realize that we all have some temper issues. That’s why people don’t like it.
Madison: I honestly don’t care if they like me or not. I have my family, that’s all I need!
(All of them agree to the statement. They all hang out by the fire as the scene comes to close on the Renegades Elite stable.)

#1 Contender Match For Women's Championship
Hera vs Greta Mace
The show returns from commercials with both Hera and Greta Mace already in the middle of the ring as the referee signifies for the bell person to ring the bell to start this match off. Hera and Greta Mace lock up in a test of strength that Hera easily overpowers Greta turning it into a Belly to Belly Suplex.
Hera doesn't let up on Greta Mace as she runs over to the legs of Greta and begins locking in the Sharpshooter submission hold. Greta starts making her way to the bottom rope with the final gasp, Greta Mace reaches the bottom rope forcing Hera to break the Sharpshooter submission hold.
Greta Mace makes it back up to her feet but it's evident by the way that she's limping on the left knee that she's been affected by the Sharpshooter submission hold that Hera had on her a few minutes ago. Hera is now chomping at the bits waiting to strike Greta Mace next.
Harley Meisner: This has been an uphill battle for Greta since the opening bell has rung, if this continues then I don't see much chance of her winning this match.
Sara Butler: This match is still very fresh so there is still time for Greta Mace to get back into this match before it's all done and said.
George Sullivan: I'm not too sure about that Sara because everyone knows that Hera is the better wrestler out of these two and she's proving it first hand against Greta here tonight in this match.
Hera runs at Greta Mace going for a Spear but Greta Mace moves out of the way causing Hera to crash shoulder first into the steel post in the corner of the ring. Hera is now sitting down in the corner of the ring as Greta Mace then runs in with a Bronco Buster to Hera.
Hera rolls out of the ring to catch a breather and get back feeling into her left shoulder that crashed into the steel post not too long ago. Greta Mace doesn't allow this too happen for too long before she dives through the top and middle ropes knocking down Hera with a Diving Spear through the ropes.
Greta Mace then picks up Hera and throws her back into the ring before the referee counts both of them out of the ring. Hera plays possum upon Greta Mace's return to the ring and when Greta Mace goes to pin Hera, Hera reverses the roll-up into a pin of her own but the referee's not in the correct position to count the three counts so Greta Mace is able to kick out after a long two counts.
Harley Meisner: Greta Mace has really come back into this match but she needs to remain focused if she hopes to win this match.
Sara Butler: Hera is a good wrestler but she's not quite that level that Greta Mace is on just yet.
George Sullivan: Greta Mace needs to keep the pressure on Hera otherwise she's going to lose this match.
Greta Mace gets back up to her feet and then kicks Hera in the midsection doubling her over in pain and then signals for the Powerbomb. Greta Mace hits the Powerbomb and then another one and then spins around one time before dropping Hera with a Spinning Powerbomb.
Greta Mace goes for the cover but the referee only gets a long two counts as Hera is able to at the last moment get her right shoulder off the canvas breaking Greta Mace's pinfall attempt. Hera is now making her way back up to her feet and sidesteps Greta Mace as she went for the Shining Wizard.
Hera now runs at Greta Mace and then connects with her version of the Shining Wizard. Hera waits for Greta Mace to get back up to her feet and then as soon as Greta Mace turns around, she walks right into the Super Kick from Hera.
Harley Meisner: What a powerful kick there by Hera! This match is over there by Hera.
Sara Butler: I think Greta Mace has been knocked out with that Superkick.
George Sullivan: Come on Greta Mace, get back up and get into this match. This is the number one contender's match for the ICW Women's Championship after all.
Hera now begins climbing to the top rope going for the Frogsplash but Greta Mace kips up and meets Hera on the top rope with rights and lefts hoping to knock Hera off of the top rope but Hera holds onto the top rope with her left arm while swatting away Greta Mace with her right arm causing Greta Mace to crash and burn on the mat.
Hera takes a quick second to adjust herself on the top rope before surveying just how far away exactly Greta Mace is from her before Hera jumps off the top rope hitting a picture perfect changing in mid-air Frogsplash halfway acroos the ring onto Greta Mace as the referee counts the three counts.
Harley Meisner: That was one hell of a match by those two talented wrestlers in Hera and Greta Mace.
Sara Butler: Both women brought the fight here tonight but it just seems that Hera wanted it more than Greta Mace here tonight.
George Sullivan: I can't wait to see these two wrestlers lock up once again in this ring.
Hera celebrates her victory in the ring as the referee raises Hera's arm to signify that she's the winner of this match before heading to check up on Greta Mace on the mat. Hera leaves the ring and heads back to the locker room area as the show fades away to the ending video package.
Winner: Hera by Pinfall.
Show Ends
(The show goes to inside the ring where 'The Viper' Robert Saints is standing with The Outsiders manager Simon Birch. Robert is all set to host another instalment of The Snake Pit.)
Robert Saints: I want to welcome all of you to another edition of The Snake Pit! And my special guest is ICW manager, Ridley!
(“Dead Man Walking” by David Bowie hits the arena speakers and Ridley comes out to the stage and the fans cheer! Ridley walks down the ramp, goes up the steel steps and gets into the ring. A few moments later, his music fades out. Ridley stands a distance away from Robert and Simon.)
Robert Saints: Good evening Ridley. This man standing next to me is The Outsiders' manager Simon Birch, in case you don’t already know.
Ridley: I already know.
Robert Saints: Alright then. Let’s get down to the questions that I’ve been wanting to ask you Ridley. Now first of all, you are the manager of ICW rookie Greta Mace, so let me ask you, how is she as a wrestler from when she first arrived in ICW up until now?
Ridley: Greta has improved a lot since she started here. She works very hard in her training to make herself better and I really respect her for that.
Robert Saints: Do you see her winning this number one contender match she has later tonight?
Ridley: Yes of course. Greta never enters a match with the mindset of losing. She’s out to win this match and I have all confidence in her to do just that.
(Simon Birch now decides to intervene on the interview.)
Simon Birch: If I may get in on this for just a moment. I chose to be present for The Snake Pit tonight because I myself have some “doubts” shall I say, as to your ability to be a wrestling manager. So let me ask you Ridley, Greta’s improvements thus far, do you not feel that they are because of what she has done on her own, and not what YOU have done to help her get to where she’s at now?
Ridley: Greta has done great for herself. Sure I’ve been at her side the whole time, but I never take all the credit for it. Her doing better is pretty much because of her determination and will to succeed. She’s a lot tougher than what people give her credit for. Don’t let the soft exterior looks fool you. She’s a good person.
Simon Birch: Yes that may be true, but I’m just wondering why exactly are you her manager? Are you even qualified to manage in wrestling?
(Ridley’s eyebrows turn in a little. He’s not stupid. He knows when someone is trying to stir the pot in a bad way with him.)
Ridley: I am Greta’s manager because she asked me to be. Her and I met in Las Vegas. She was all alone and I was already a manager in ICW. I suggested she come back to ICW with me to get her away from the dangers of Las Vegas, so she said alright. She came back with me and she joined ICW and wanted to see how she would do as a wrestler, what with her being on the wrestling team back in her school days. She was a damn good wrestler back then, so she wanted to learn how to wrestle in a ring, so she learned. She then asked me shortly after that if I would manage her, so I said sure.
Simon Birch: Do you even have any wrestling experience yourself?
Ridley: You don’t have to be a wrestler yourself to be a manager in wrestling. In fact, some of the greatest managers have never wrestled a match in their lives.
(Robert now chimes in on this conversation.)
Robert Saints: Simon here is one of the best managers in wrestling. He has done an excellent job so far for The Outsiders. I think perhaps you could learn some things from Simon. Maybe you should start paying attention to how Simon manages and start taking notes Ridley. Because the way I see it, I don’t really think you belong in wrestling as a manager.
(Ridley pauses for a moment, then responds.)
Ridley: Oh really? And why would you think that? Are you suddenly the expert on how to be a good manager in wrestling?
(Robert Saints chuckles a bit.)
Robert Saints: I’ll have you know that my family has been in the wrestling business for generations and generations. So yes, I would be an expert at knowing how a manager should work and what they should do.
Robert Saints: But the issue me and Simon have with you is that you shouldn’t be in ICW. You don’t belong here. The place where YOU belong Ridley is back in Las Vegas, because everyone knows how much of a gambling problem you have. Everyone knows that’s your greatest weakness.
(Simon gives a smirk at Ridley.)
Simon Birch: Yes! That’s right! YOU Ridley should go back to the world of gambling where you truly belong! You have no place here in ICW!
(The fans are now booing Simon and Robert for their rude comments towards Ridley. Ridley however is not hurt at all by their words. He replies without emotion.)
Ridley: Well, I see that now the BEST part of this edition of The Snake Pit has finally arrived....
Robert Saints: Oh yeah?
Simon Birch: And just what part would that be?
Ridley: The part where I tell you both to MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!!
(Robert and Simon have angry expressions now on their faces. Ridley casually tosses his microphone up in the air and it lands on the mat loud! Ridley climbs out of the ring and heads up the ramp with a look on his face to say he is not affected by the ridiculing of Robert and Simon.)
Sara Butler: I don’t believe this. Was it really necessary for Robert and Simon to treat Ridley this way?
Harley Misner: Well I guess they felt if they had something to say to Ridley, then The Snake Pit would be the best place to do it.
George Sullivan: I think it was rude on the part of Robert Saints and Simon Birch.
Sara Butler: I agree. Ridley is a fine manager. He is doing a great job for Greta Mace! Yes it’s known he has a gambling problem, but he shouldn’t be called out for it right here on national television! Shame on Robert and Simon!
(The show goes to commercials.)
Tag Team Match
Dean N' Destiny vs The Club
*While Jamo is at backstage watching the match on tv, he noticed his wife's bag has fallen over, then he sees the pregnancy test showing that is test positive for pregnant! Jamo’s eyes wide open and looks back at the tv knowing that his wife is competing the match while pregnant! He rushed to the door, break through it, then begins running at the hallway while the cameraman sees Jamo running and decides to record him during backstage.*
George Sullivan: Jamo is here tonight! Why is he running at backstage? Is he going to interrupt the match tonight? Look! He’s got something in his hand!
Sara Butler: That’s the pregnancy tester! It belongs to his wife Steph! Rumour about her condition is that she’s pregnant! I mean look at Steph’s belly right now!
Harley Meisner: Oh Sara, I can see that right now. I think Jamo is here to stop the match before his wife gets hurt!
*Camera briefly goes to The Enforcer who is standing backstage watching one of the monitors, watching all of this unfold.*
*Camera now switches back to the match, Steph grabs Destiny’s head by attempting the headlock move. Camera sees that Steph is telling Destiny something while she’s headlocking her.*
Steph: Destiny please listen to me, I’m pregnant ok and please let me overwhelmed you for this match. Don’t let Dean tagged himself in please, I don’t want to get hurt ok?
George Sullivan: Did Steph told her that she’s pregnant?
Sara Butler: Yes she did George and she’s telling her to let Steph overpower her for the match tonight. I hopes she does accept Steph’s wishes cause I don’t want to see her get hurt!
*Destiny nods her head yes to let Steph overwhelmed her, Steph lets go of the headlock and attempts the short arm clothesline move then hits a few stomps on her. Dean begins to shout for support for his girlfriend Destiny to get back up, Steph picks up Destiny to hit a few of chest chops to back her up at the corner of the ring then hits the elbow strike on her head. Steph backs away from her, Destiny rushes towards her but Steph counters into a neckbreaker and Steph shows a pained face after hitting the neckbreaker.*
Destiny: Steph are you ok?
Steph: Yes I’m fine, let’s continue please.
Harley Meisner: Steph is not looking good right now after hitting the neckbreaker on Destiny, it must’ve hurt her back after doing that.
George Sullivan: The match needed to be stopped right now, but she wanted to continue the match!
*Steph whips Destiny to the ropes, Destiny stops by holding the ropes to stop running then Dean tagged himself in while Steph clothesline her out of the mat and Steph begins to feel pain from her stomach trying to get to Andrew to make the tag. Andrew begins to worry about her and trying to extend the reach for Steph to get tagged in but it’s too late, Dean stands in front of her and looks confused by Steph’s pain.*
Dean Andry: Steph, ya actin' strange right now, but I ain’t got no time for ya strange actin'! I know ya tryin' to trick me, n' it ain't gonna work on Dean Boy here!! It's time to end this!!
*Dean is about to hits his finisher move Mental Instability, but Jamo has slided in to get on the ring then rushes towards to Dean and hits the Claymore Kick with his right foot sideways by knocking him out cold! Referee rings for the bell for disqualification after seeing Jamo attacked Dean! Jamo tosses the referee out of the ring and grabbed the microphone!*
Sara Butler: Jamo has knocked out Dean and saved his wife from any more damages to his newborn kids!
Jamo: Before I was about to say what I did to your friend Darren Dean, there is something else you should know. I knocked your ass out cold by saving my wife from you just now, while you were about to hit your finisher on her 'cause my wife is PREGNANT! She told Destiny to let her overwhelm your girl so no one knows that she’s having my kids which are twins!
Harley Meisner: Holy hell, Steph is having twins!
Jamo: I won that match against Darren, yes I made a promise to lil' Mav, but during that match I could not break character! I know Darren's having a back injury, I played as the bad guy against him while he was the good guy during the match. So get this through your demented brain Dean! it’s just business, not damn personal Dean!
Jamoe: Enforcer, we fought well but I was the better man at WrestleCade and in answer to your challenge at Damage Control is, I ACCEPT!
Jamo: Now next week I got a bloody good proposition for both of you next week, show up and I’ll tell you both my offer. I’ll leave my boys behind at backstage so we all can settle like men.
Jamo: Destiny, thank you for letting Steph control the match and I apologise for knocking your man out, so congrats on the win by DQ.
Jamo: Andrew and boys, start the damn car 'cause we all gotta take my wife to the damn hospital!
*Jamo picks Steph up and carry her in his arms after carefully getting his wife out of the ring. Jamo rushes to the backstage by going through the side of the stage then the car arrives while his friends Chris and Brandon arrived in the car. Jamo puts Steph in the car, Jamo and Andrew gets in then the car drives away to start heading to the hospital.*
George Sullivan: That kick that Jamo did was a powerful one to knock Dean out that fast! Thank god that Jamo saved his wife from any harm. Hope his wife Steph is ok when they get to the hospital and most of all hope his twins are ok.
Winners: Dean N' Destiny via Disqualification
Intercontinental Championship Tournament Match
Steven McKnight vs Colt Knox
(The bell for the match rings. As soon as it rings Knox charges towards McKnight, and slams him into the corner. The bigger man starts to quickly ram his shoulders into the gut of McKnight. 4 or 5 shoulder rams later the ref gets involved and shoves Knox away from McKnight.)
George Sullivan: Knox came out of the match fighting.
Harley Meisner: I think he wants to show everyone that he’s not a person to be taken lightly. He’s serious and he’s proving it. He wants the belt, he’s hungry.
Sara Butler: Yeah, but he has to be careful, McKnight will fight back, he won’t go down without a fight.
(The match moves forward, McKnight finally got out of the gate by throwing fists, which connected. Both men go back and forth most of this match, trading fists, kicks, elbows, and the ever-popular neck breaker. McKnight manages to get the bigger man on the ground and keep him grounded for a short while. He’s working on his legs, and without legs, Knox won’t have much power to work with. McKnight keeps working on the legs, both legs, not just one. After a while, Knox finds a way to get back into the match. He still has his arms so he threw McKnight out of the ring to the floor below, in front of the announcer’s table.)
George Sullivan: did you hear that thud?!
Sara Butler: Big man meets the floor, it always happens that way. It shook my can of cola too.
(Knox slaps his legs to get the blood flow back into them, he rolls outside of the ring after McKnight. The battle outside of the ring for a bit, knocking things over as they do so, and shifting the announce table by an inch of 2. Like 2 bulls in a china shop, they finally go back into the ring after the ref got to the count of 9. Ringside looks like a tornado went through.)
Harley Meisner: I feel bad for the people who have to clean this up.
George Sullivan: you can!
Harley Meisner: Nah.
(Back in the ring now, both men start to lose energy as the match goes on, Knox and McKnight are close in battle here and the battle bruises are starting to show up. Knox has a big black and blue mark on his back after he hit the steps, McKnight has a scuffed up head.)
George Sullivan: This match is taking it’s toll on these men.
(In the closing moments of this match, McKnight goes for the “McKnight's Verdict” but Knox gets out of that move. Knox then throws McKnight into the corner, followed by a thunderous clothesline. They battle for a little bit more before Knox goes for the “School of Hard Knox”. He covers McKnight.
1……..
2……….
3!
George Sullivan: What a big win here for Knox!
Harley Meisner: Hardly, McKnight should have won! Knox cheated, the shoulder was up. We need to see a replay.
George Sullivan: no replay for you!
(McKnight looks out of the ring in disgust, before walking away. Knox walks around the ring to celebrate.)
Winner: Colt Knox via Pinfall
(As Colt is still in the ring celebrating his win all of a sudden Back In Black begins playing throughout the PA System as ICW Owner James Gibbs comes out onto the rampway. He makes his way down the ring, as he steps into the ring he grabs a microphone.)
James Gibbs: Congrats on your victory here tonight Colt.
(Colt nods his head towards James.)
James Gibbs: But that also means that you will be pulling double duty at Damage Control.
George Sullivan: What! What is James talking about, unless I'm missing something the only match Colt has is the Intercontinental Championship match.
James Gibbs: Well as you know you will be competing in the finals of the tournament in a triple threat match against the winners of the other matches tonight. But you will also be competing in a Unification Match, to unify the Payne Championship and the Xtreme Championship. Good luck Mr. Knox on both of these matches.
(James drops the microphone as he heads back up the rampway, as Colt then climbs out of the ring and exits towards the back.)
Intercontinental Championship Tournament Match
Knight Blaze vs Ace Reigns
The show returns from a commercial break with Rick Henderson in the ring ready to call the next match.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it's the opening round match for the ICW Intercontinental Championship Tournament. In the red corner is Ace Reigns! and in the blue corner is his opponent, Knight Blaze!
Rick Henderson exits the ring as the referee brings both men to the middle of the ring and begins to review that they were both given exact rules of this match before in their locker rooms. Both men look at the referee who then asks for the bell to ring to start this match.
Ace Reigns and Knight Blaze start with a fist fight in the middle of the ring as neither is willing to go first for a grapple move on the other just yet. Ace Reigns and Knight Blaze lock up in a stalemate that pushes both men into the ropes where the referee finally separates the two men. The referee yells at both men to actually fight each other and stop pussying around this isn't boxing, this professional wrestling god damn it.
Knight Blaze doesn't have to be told twice as he transitions a Test of Strength into a Back to Belly Suplex knocking Ace Reigns down to the ring mat. Ace Reigns pulls himself back up to his feet and then returns the Suplex with one of his own as he connects with the Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex to Knight Blaze.
Knight Blaze starts to get back up to his feet but he doesn't exactly get to a full standing stance as he remains in a three point stance as Ace Reigns gets back up to his feet and then Knight Blaze then runs at Ace Reigns knocking him down with the Spear.
Harley Meisner: What a Spear there by Knight Blaze to Ace Reigns! Knight Blaze might have Speared Ace Reigns straight out of his boots.
Sara Butler: I'll say it again, it's still very early in this match to count out Ace Reigns yet.
George Sullivan: That might be true but if Ace Reigns doesn't himself back into this match then he's going to lose this match.
Knight Blaze goes for the cover on Ace Reigns but the referee only counts to two before Ace Reigns grabs the bottom rope forcing Knight Blaze to break his pinfall attempt. Knight Blaze picks up Ace Reigns and Irish whips him into the ropes and upon his return, Knight Blaze connects with the Samoan Drop.
Ace Reigns rolls out of the ring in order to catch his breath and also to stop the momentum of Knight Blaze. Knight Blaze goes to the ringside apron and then jumps off with an Cactus Elbow knocking down Ace Reigns onto the arena floor.
The referee begins counting out both men on the outside of the ring. The referee is heard yelling at both men to get the action back into the ring because if they don't get into the ring before he gets to the ten counts then he has no problem counting out both men out of this match and giving their next opponent in this tournament a bye to the Finals. Knight Blaze and Ace Reigns rolls into the ring at the nine counts barely almost losing this match by double count out.
Harley Meisner: That was real close of being a double count out match ending but lucky both Knight Blaze and Ace Reigns got back into the ring before the referee got to the ten counts.
Sara Butler: This match is proving to be a slobber knocker seeing as both men hold a high regard for the ICW Intercontinental Championship and that they want to be the first one to hold it here in ICW.
George Sullivan: These two men know that the Intercontinental Championship is the work horse championship so they're both willing to go all out in this match to prove to not just themselves but to everyone else including management that they're more than ready to become the first Intercontinental Champion in ICW history.
Knight Blaze and Ace Reigns are back in the middle of the ring as they lock up into another Test of Strength with Knight Blaze once again turning it into a Back to Belly Suplex. Knight Blaze slams Ace Reigns down onto the mat and then picks up him again and connects with a second Suplex and then a third one before going for a bridge pin but Ace Reigns gets his right shoulder off the mat breaking Knight Blaze's cover.
Knight Blaze gets back up to his feet and then kicks Ace Reigns in the midsection and then connects with the Blood Dropper and then gets the three counts as the referee counts the pinfall. Knight Blaze jumps up to his feet and then begins celebrating his victory before the referee walks over to him and raises his arm to signify that he's the winner of the match before going to check on Ace Reigns.
Harley Meisner: What a performance there by Knight Blaze as he dominated over Ace Reigns in this match here tonight.
Sara Butler: Congratulations to Knight Blaze on moving forward in this tournament for the ICW Intercontinental Championship.
George Sullivan: Ace Reigns brought the fight here tonight and he shouldn't be ashamed of his performance here tonight because he is a top caliber talent here in ICW.
Knight Blaze exits the ring and heads back to his locker room while the show fades to black before going to a commercial break.
Winner: Knight Blaze by Pinfall.
(The filmed segment opens up in a remote camping spot in Arizona. We see the girls, Renegades Elite, sitting around a campfire as it’s twilight in the Arizona wilderness. The fire crackles as ash embers float across the night air, with a slight breath of air by the trees and cacti. The dogs they brought are sleeping without noise.)
Jenn: Ahhhh! Some much-needed vacation time, between this stupid lockdown garbage and over 10 years of doing this shit, I deserve a vacation, you do too, Gracie.
Gracie: Yes.
Jenn: I mean we were gonna take a vacation at the start of the year after that other company fired us but this pandemic garbage happened and everything closed down, it was a mess, But now… here we are, finally.
Gracie: You know people are going to complain after you said you’ll be there every week.
Jenn: who cares? I said I’ll be on every show, I didn’t say how I would be.
(A big beautiful lady shows up with a HUGE arm full of wood before dropping it next to the campfire. Madison shows up as well, behind her but not with the same amount of firewood but enough where she can see over. She also drops it by the campfire. Both ladies take a seat in their respective chairs, and Kayla also makes her way from the darkness.)
Jenn: All of us are here now!
Gracie: Yess! Let’s get down to business… Madison…. Last week your match was...amazing!
Jenn: Yes it was! You didn’t win, but you didn’t lose either. I call it a successful debut.
Madison: Thanks, guys. It actually felt good to make that debut now, I don’t have that monkey on my back anymore. I was scared to death.
Gracie: Happened to me.
Jenn: Me too. But you did well, that match even had extra eyes watching it just for you, i know a couple of people who don’t work here, they were watching it.
Madison: I gotta call them up soon.
Jenn: yes, you should.
Kayla: What do you guys think of the women’s number one contendership?
Jenn: Honestly? Greta won’t win. She can’t win the big one to save her life, let alone beat Herra? If that happened the world will stop. So, I’m gonna be seeing Herra one way or another. I’m never wrong.
Gracie: and I hope I’m in that Intercontinental championship thing they have going, but we’ll see. If not…. I’ll force myself in it. They better choose wisely on what they do.
Madison: Sooo, what’s her story?
(Madison looks over to the new girl, placing the firewood in a neat pile. The girl turns around, the fire glowing in her face.)
Female: My story?
Jenn: She’s…. New to the group.
Madison: New?!
Jenn: Yeah, Eddie isn’t part of the group like people think he is. He’s associated with the group, yes but he’s not a full member.
Madison: Oh, yeah that makes sense.
Jenn: Coulda told us before the bio went up, but he’s busy though with his golf resort opening back up again and whatnot, he wants to make sure things open properly. So…. explain yourself new girl. People wanna know!
Voice: Ok, so I’m Morgan Manning. I’ve lived door to Jenn for… what 7 months now? I know I haven’t been seen around her or the group, but work kept that from happening. She gave me the opportunity to come on this trip with you guys and I couldn’t say no.
Madison: Nice! Well, any friend of Jenn’s is a friend of mine.
Gracie: I agree! Morgan, you’re gonna realize that we all have some temper issues. That’s why people don’t like it.
Madison: I honestly don’t care if they like me or not. I have my family, that’s all I need!
(All of them agree to the statement. They all hang out by the fire as the scene comes to close on the Renegades Elite stable.)

Main Event
#1 Contender Match For Women's Championship
Hera vs Greta Mace
The show returns from commercials with both Hera and Greta Mace already in the middle of the ring as the referee signifies for the bell person to ring the bell to start this match off. Hera and Greta Mace lock up in a test of strength that Hera easily overpowers Greta turning it into a Belly to Belly Suplex.
Hera doesn't let up on Greta Mace as she runs over to the legs of Greta and begins locking in the Sharpshooter submission hold. Greta starts making her way to the bottom rope with the final gasp, Greta Mace reaches the bottom rope forcing Hera to break the Sharpshooter submission hold.
Greta Mace makes it back up to her feet but it's evident by the way that she's limping on the left knee that she's been affected by the Sharpshooter submission hold that Hera had on her a few minutes ago. Hera is now chomping at the bits waiting to strike Greta Mace next.
Harley Meisner: This has been an uphill battle for Greta since the opening bell has rung, if this continues then I don't see much chance of her winning this match.
Sara Butler: This match is still very fresh so there is still time for Greta Mace to get back into this match before it's all done and said.
George Sullivan: I'm not too sure about that Sara because everyone knows that Hera is the better wrestler out of these two and she's proving it first hand against Greta here tonight in this match.
Hera runs at Greta Mace going for a Spear but Greta Mace moves out of the way causing Hera to crash shoulder first into the steel post in the corner of the ring. Hera is now sitting down in the corner of the ring as Greta Mace then runs in with a Bronco Buster to Hera.
Hera rolls out of the ring to catch a breather and get back feeling into her left shoulder that crashed into the steel post not too long ago. Greta Mace doesn't allow this too happen for too long before she dives through the top and middle ropes knocking down Hera with a Diving Spear through the ropes.
Greta Mace then picks up Hera and throws her back into the ring before the referee counts both of them out of the ring. Hera plays possum upon Greta Mace's return to the ring and when Greta Mace goes to pin Hera, Hera reverses the roll-up into a pin of her own but the referee's not in the correct position to count the three counts so Greta Mace is able to kick out after a long two counts.
Harley Meisner: Greta Mace has really come back into this match but she needs to remain focused if she hopes to win this match.
Sara Butler: Hera is a good wrestler but she's not quite that level that Greta Mace is on just yet.
George Sullivan: Greta Mace needs to keep the pressure on Hera otherwise she's going to lose this match.

Greta Mace goes for the cover but the referee only gets a long two counts as Hera is able to at the last moment get her right shoulder off the canvas breaking Greta Mace's pinfall attempt. Hera is now making her way back up to her feet and sidesteps Greta Mace as she went for the Shining Wizard.
Hera now runs at Greta Mace and then connects with her version of the Shining Wizard. Hera waits for Greta Mace to get back up to her feet and then as soon as Greta Mace turns around, she walks right into the Super Kick from Hera.
Harley Meisner: What a powerful kick there by Hera! This match is over there by Hera.
Sara Butler: I think Greta Mace has been knocked out with that Superkick.
George Sullivan: Come on Greta Mace, get back up and get into this match. This is the number one contender's match for the ICW Women's Championship after all.
Hera now begins climbing to the top rope going for the Frogsplash but Greta Mace kips up and meets Hera on the top rope with rights and lefts hoping to knock Hera off of the top rope but Hera holds onto the top rope with her left arm while swatting away Greta Mace with her right arm causing Greta Mace to crash and burn on the mat.
Hera takes a quick second to adjust herself on the top rope before surveying just how far away exactly Greta Mace is from her before Hera jumps off the top rope hitting a picture perfect changing in mid-air Frogsplash halfway acroos the ring onto Greta Mace as the referee counts the three counts.
Harley Meisner: That was one hell of a match by those two talented wrestlers in Hera and Greta Mace.
Sara Butler: Both women brought the fight here tonight but it just seems that Hera wanted it more than Greta Mace here tonight.
George Sullivan: I can't wait to see these two wrestlers lock up once again in this ring.
