Opening
Pink, white, and blue strobe lights flash at the arena entrance as "Go Your Own Way by Seaweed enters the arena.
Sara Pettis steps out from the back to a large pop, accompanied by the trademark "X-C-W" chants her mother received. Sara walks down to the ring waving to the fans, usually slapping the hands of a few fans at the end of the aisle, before stepping up the ring steps, and getting into the ring between the middle and bottom ropes. Sara walks to the center of the ring, and takes a microphone from a worker at ring side, and paces, waiting for the initial pop of her return to SFT to die down. Finally Sara smiles and raises her hand signaling for the crowd to quiet which they oblige. Sara waits an extra second before bringing the microphone to her mouth and starting to speak.
Sara Pettis: It feels good to be home...
This sentence immediately sends the arena into another buzz, once again causing a small X-C-W chant to rise up from the crowd. Again Sara smiles and puts her hand up, quieting the crowd again.
Sara Pettis: For those of you who might not know who I am. My name is Sara Pettis. My family name has been attached to SFT since long before its creation. I had a short run here not too long ago, which only including winning the SFT World Title in a little annual event called, the "Lethal Lottery." As some of you may also know, I left shortly after. I'm not going to say why, as I think the reasons are known. I am not here to explain myself, and frankly, in my opinion I don't feel I should have to explain myself. It was nothing persona between myself and SFT. I was just doing what felt right too me. And no matter what anyone says, if you're not looking out for number 1, no one is. So if anyone is expecting me to come out here and ask for you to forgive me for leaving before, it's just not going to happen. Instead I just ask that we all, you the fans, the people in the back, and myself in this ring, just move on with our lives, and look at whats ahead.
The crowd gives a mix of boos and applause which Sara shrugs at.
RW: The SFT fans giving mixed emotions to Sara right now.
JC: Eh, I say just let it go. She's just a kid, sometimes they do things without thinking.
RW: I honestly don't think she meant any ill-will towards SFT to be honest either.
Sara Pettis: Its ok, I expected something like that...
Suddenly Sara is interrupted by the arena going completely black and a lone spotlight shines on the entrance to the arena from the stage. A wall of fire build up on the stage blocking the view of the entrance from Sara.
Man's Voice: Now I lay me down to sleep
Small Girl's Voice: Now I lay me down to sleep
Man's Voice: Pray the lord my soul to keep
Small Girl's Voice: Pray the lord my soul to keep
Man's Voice: If I die before I wake
Small Girl's Voice: If I die before I wake
Man's Voice: Pray the lord my soul to take
Small Girl's Voice: Pray the lord my soul to take
As the song "Enter Sandman" by Motörhead picks up from this part, the flames go down and the spotlight shines on a large, almost seven foot tall man standing at the top of the ramp. He is dressed in a long black leather trench coat, black shirt, black paints, and even black fingerless gloves. He raises his hand, pointing towards the ring, in which a spotlight now illuminates, showing Sara standing in the center of the ring, almost trembling. The large man reaches inside his jacket to his breast pocket and pulls out a microphone.
Man: Hello Sara. The "Boogey Man" is back.
He says methodically.
RW: Is that?
JC: It's Hellraiser! My god, we haven't seen him in years!
RW: Inferno is just starting and already we have two huge returns!
JC: And it almost seems like they're related.
Hellraiser: Thats what you used to call me wasn't it? Because when you were just a little girl, I scared you right? Oh yea Sara, I know you remember me. Your mother tried to keep me away from you, but I know I got through. I know that you saw me from time to time when you were little. Hiding in the shadows.
Hellraiser begins to walk down the ramp towards the ring, and Sara nervously starts to back up in the ring.
Hellraiser: Whats a matter, Lil' Sara? Do you still believe in the boogey man? I mean, of course you don't. You're a big tough, former World Champion now.
Hellraiser gets to the ring, grabs the top rope, and pulls himself up onto the apron. He then holds down the top rope, and steps into the ring over it, as Sara backs up to the ring ropes on the other side.
Hellraiser: But I never got a chance to talk to you. Face to face. Not like we're getting now. Your mother, or Will Schorg, they were always there to step in between us.
Hellraiser looks down at the mat, and slowly brings his eyes up to Sara's, as he corners her against the ropes.
Hellraiser: But not anymore.
Hellraiser looks down on the cowering 18 year old girl in front of him.
Hellraiser: What? You think I want to hurt you? No, I only want to tell you something. Besides, what kind of, FATHER, would hurt his own daughter?
Sara looks up at Hellraiser, confused, and he just smiles at her.
Hellraiser: Thats right, I know the truth Sara. I'm your father. Me! You're not a Pettis! That was all a lie your mother made to keep you away from me!
Sara is still visibly confused as Hellraiser backs away, allowing her to stand up and not cower.
Hellraiser: I know you know how your mother got into this business. It was through me. She was MY valet at first. And at the time XCW started, our relationship was very much more then a show. I love your mother Sara. I needed your mother. Imagine my surprise, my joy, when exactly nine months before you were born, when she told me she was pregnant.
JC: Wait, I thought AMP was Sara's father?
RW: I thought so too, hell we were sitting behind his announcers desk when he revealed it too the world.
Hellraiser: And imagine how crushed I was when she said she lost the child shortly after. It was also shortly after she left me. For what? Will Schorg? A married man at the time. It broke me Sara! It broke my soul! To lose the woman I loved, and the child she was carrying all at once! I dropped out of wrestling! I couldn't stand to be near her afterwards. But I still loved her! Then nine-months later, there you were, right on cue. Lost the child? This was another? Yea right. I'm not stupid! You are my daughter Sara. Plain and simple.
Sara brings the microphone in her hand to her mouth, and asks the question everyone is thinking.
Sara Pettis: How do you know? I don't even know you, all I know was that you're scary as hell, and you used to follow me when I was little. And as weird as it makes me feel, considering how much I hate my Pettis side, I know I'm a Pettis. You know how many blood test I've had to prove it in my life?
Hellraiser: BULLSHIT!
Hellraiser grabs Sara by the shirt, and lifts her up off the mat kicking and screaming with one hand. He holds her so that they're eye too eye, while he still holds the microphone.
Hellraiser: Those are lies! Lies told by your mother, Will Schorg, Andrew Mitchell Pettis! All of them lies! I don't know why AMP volunteered to claim you, or why your mother wouldn't just let me raise you! But she's not here anymore. And neither is AMP, or Aj Nin Red Rum. You're mine finally Sara. All mine.
With that, Hellraiser throws Sara over his shoulder, and drops his microphone. Sara struggles to free herself from the massive man, as he leaves the ring with her still stuck in his grasp.
JC: Holy hell, Sara is being abducted by Hellraiser!
RW: Someone help her!
The camera follows as Hellraiser carries Sara into the back of the arena, with her still struggling to get free. Suddenly she sees a toolbox sitting on a passing shelf, and she quickly reaches into it, and pulls out a pipe wrench. She swings, and brings it down on the top of Hellraiser's head, causing him to go down to one knee, and let go of Sara. Seeing her chance, Sara takes off as Hellraiser holds his now bleeding head, and screams...
Hellraiser: SAAARRRAAA!!!
Before getting up, and storming off after her.
RW: Holy, f'ing, shit man.
JC: Wow, that was weird....
Match Number One TK Money vs.
Annika Reizeger ( #1 to IC Title )
JC: We have to relative newcomers starting off Inferno tonight, but they've already made quite a name for themselves.
RW: I'll be the judge of that.
JC: You'll be the judge? They're fighting for the number one contender to the Intercontinental title! That must mean something.
RW: Like I said...
TK Money and Annika Reizeger are already in the ring. The referee calls for the bell and Money makes a beeline for Reizeger; he succeeds in taking her down with a spear and begins to whale on her from his vantage point. Rather than going on the defensive, Annika gets proactive, and has soon turned the tables on Money.
RW: Wouldn't mind being on the receiving end of that.
After some struggling, Money knocks Annika off his person. They scramble back onto their feet and lock up. Annika comes out on top with a quick hip toss. Money hits the mat but is back up almost instantly. Annika advances on him but is stopped by a boot to the gut which Money follows up with a DDT but Annika somehow rolls Money into a small package. Money breaks out almost immediately, visibly irritated.
JC: Pretty even match so far I'd say. Money and Reizeger exchanging right hands. Money counters one for an arm drag. Reizeger is up first, but Money pulls her back down into a shoulder jawbreaker.
Reizeger takes a few steps backward before Money is upon her and lays her out with a swift scoop slam.
RW: Is it just me, or is the scoop slam altogether unimpressive?
Money then begins to stomp on Reizeger's face before dropping an elbow. He lifts Annika back up, delivering a series of right hands as he drives her back into a corner. From there, he whips her all the way across to the other corner, following her along the way and nailing her with a hip attack after she bounces back out. Money continues to corner Reizeger with another flurry of blows before Annika stops one in midday, grabs TK and throws him into the corner only to give him a taste of his own medicine.
JC: If I had a dime for every time the tables turned in this match.
RW: You wouldn't make much more than your shitty salary.
After she wears Money down, Reizeger succeeds in lifting him to the top rope. From there, she brings him back down with a reverse Frankensteiner. Reizeger takes moment to recover before covering. 1..2...
JC: Money just gets the shoulder up!
Annika's mouth hangs open in disbelief as Money rolls out from beneath her. Reizeger gets on her feet only to stomp away at her opponent. Money manages to get up, but Annika whips him into the ropes. Reizeger takes off in the opposite direction and hits Money with a lariat when the two meet in the center of the ring. Money stays upright, only to be taken down by a scoop slam. From there, Annika straps Money into a chickenwing camel clutch.
TK grabs ropes as he gets up Annika nails him with a kick to the chest, then a DDT! She covers him 1……..2………….3!
Winner: Annika
RW: Great win for our newest female superstar, and her star is shining bright.
After the match "Enter Sandman" by Metallica hits the loudspeakers. T.K Money is still in the ring, just getting to his feet.
JC: I think business is about to pick up, Randy!
Hearing the music, he looks up the ramp in surprise and anticipation. But Kyle Murphy hops over the guard rail near the announce table behind T.K. He has bandages on his forehead and is wearing a long sleeve black Under Armour shirt and black jeans, and is holding the Hardcore Championship in his hands.
RW: Turn around, kid!
T.K. Money gets frustrated and turns around, but as soon as he does he gets nailed between the eyes with the Hardcore Championship belt.
JC: OH MY! Gold off the skull!
Murphy drops the Hardcore Championship and pulls Money to his feet by the head. Applying a 3/4 facelock, Kyle drops him with the Murphy's Law in the middle of the ring.
RW: MURPHY'S LAW!
Kyle goes over to the ropes and motions to the ring announcer for the microphone. He gets the mic and turns back to T.K.
Kyle Murphy: Hey Mister Money Man. I'm still pretty sore from that war I had with your buddy Major Reizeger there, but I had and come here to deal with you.
Kyle Murphy: Normally I wouldn't waste my time on a punk kid like yourself, but you stuck your nose in my business and almost cost me the Hardcore Championship. You think it's funny jumping me from behind? Boy, you REALLY do not know who you're messing with! I'm a legend and you should treat me with respect!
Murphy unfastens his belt.
Kyle Murphy: You broke the Law, and now you're going to pay the consequences. I'm going to do something your father should have done years ago.
Pulling the leather belt through the loops of his jeans and off, he holds it in his right hand and begins to whip the T.K. Money across the back. Murphy continues punishing T.K. with the belt, repeatedly slapping it down across his back and shoulders.
JC: What a merciless beating here!
RW: T.K. Money attacked Kyle Murphy during his title defense at November Reign and Murphy's really making him pay here!
JC: T.K. has been on the war path lately, but right now it's Kyle Murphy that is out for blood!
Finally the referee of the match gets back in the ring and pleads Murphy to stop. Kyle drops his belt and the microphone and picks up the Hardcore Championship belt. Holding his ribs with his left hand, he raises the title over his head in his right hand, but quickly pulls it back down and grabs that arm as well.
JC: Murphy is clearly feeling the effects of that Hell he went through at November Reign, but he got a measure of revenge here tonight!
Murphy grabs his belt and leaves T.K. Money laying face down in the ring, the welts already forming across his back from the chastising Murphy gave him.
Match Number Two Alex Burton vs.
Johnathan Templeton ( Standard Match )
Alex Burton and Johnathan Templeton are both in the ring as the bell rings.
JT starts it off with a running clothesline followed by a leg drop, he tries to cover but he only gets a 1 count. JT with a neckbreaker then an elbow drop, he gets a 2 count on that one.
RW: JT trying to upset the number one contender to the US Title right before his shot next week.
JT tries a shining wizard kick but misses as Alex sweeps the leg and nails a forearm he gets up and nails a DDT followed by a spinebuster, he covers JT 1………2………kickout!
JC: Close one there, but no dice.
Alex with a brainbuster this time but he doesn’t cover JT, he waits as JT gets up he gets speared by Alex, the ring shakes, Alex grabs JT and hits a modified Jackhammer, he slowly covers JT, the ref counting 1………..2……………..3!
Winner: Alex Burton
RW: That’s all she wrote, good effort but Alex was too much for Johnathan tonight.
Match Number Three
Twilight and Jack Jones vs.
Nirvana and Mike Zybala ( Tag Match )
Twilight and Jack Jones are already in the ring and "Ten Thousand Fist" by Disturbed begins to play across the loudspeakers. Mike Zybala enters through the crowd, stopping midway down to mosh with the fans. Getting to the security rail, he climbs up on top of it, stands on it briefly and then jumps off to the floor. The United States Championship is around his waist. He takes it off and hands it to the ring announcer before sliding into the ring.
Twilight, upset about Zybala's interference in his match at November Reign, jumps immediately on Mike before he can even get to his feet. Jack Jones goes over to his corner, wanting to be fair to Zybala. With his partner getting beat down, Nirvana rushes down to ringside as fast as he can and slides into the ring. Nirvana nails Twilight with an elbow to the back of the head, knocking Twilight to the mat and forcing him to roll out of the ring.
JC: This match is starting out intense, Randy!
RW: Well what do you expect, John? Twilight and Zybala have been at each other's throats for awhile now. They've cost each other matches in recent weeks and now they've finally got a chance to get their hands on each other!
Nirvana helps Zybala up and tells Mike to go to their corner. Once Zybala gets out on the apron, the bell rings.
JC: Well now that Twilight and Zybala are out of the ring, it looks like Cowboy Jack and Nirvana are ready to get this thing started.
Cowboy and Nirvana lock it up and jockey for position. Jones backs King into a neutral corner, and Nirv counters, turning Jack around and pinning his back to the corner. Cowboy turns it around and reverses Nirvana back into the corner. They continue like this for a moment before breaking the lock up. Nirvana quickly throws a punch that catches Cowboy on the jaw and staggers him. He follows that up with a right foot kick to the calf followed by a left foot kick to the thigh.
JC: After the early stalemate Jeff King is now in control of this match going to those patented martial arts strikes!
RW: Jeff King? It's NIRVANA, John. Why can't you get that right?
JC: I know he is Nirvana. But for us old-timers he'll always be Jeff King.
Nirvana charges Cowboy Jack, but Cowboy catches him with a powerslam and a pin, resulting in only a one count. Jones pops back up and front facelocks Nirvana. Walking backwards, he drags Nirv to his corner and tags in Twilight. Twilight comes in and kicks Nirvana in the ribs as Cowboy Jack holds onto him.
JC: The tables have turned again, Randy. A little teamwork here and Twilight and Jones are back in the driver's seat.
RW: It's still early in this match and right now it isn't looking like anyone can keep the momentum in their favor for very long, John. Someone's going to have to win this thing quick.
Twilight has brought King over to a neutral corner and lifts him up, seating him on the top rope. Twilight climbs to the second rope.
JC: Twilight may be looking for a superplex here!
RW: That would definitely be bad news for Nirvana!
Nirvana catches Twilight with an uppercut that stuns Twilight. Quickly Nirvana hooks the head and whirls around, pulling Twilight off the second rope with the TWILIGHT ZONE tornado DDT!
JC: Tornado DDT from clear off the second rope! That could be the quick finish you were talking about!
RW: A little Wanpaku Graffiti there from Nirvana, in the form of the Twilight Zone!
JC: Something of a Super Twilight Zone, Randy!
Nirvana crawls into a cover, just draping an arm across Twilight's chest.
1...
2...
Kick out!
Twilight barely gets the shoulder up. Zybala climbs onto the second rope, reaching for a tag. When Nirvana manages to get to his feet he sees Mike bouncing on the second rope and gives him the tag.
RW: Uh-oh! Mike Zybala and Twilight are finally in the same ring!
JC: I think all Hell is about to break loose!
Zybala grabs Twilight and brings him to his feet, but catches an uppercut for his efforts. Mike retaliates with a right cross and Twilight throws a right hook in return. The two continue to throw punches, unloading on each other.
JC: All that pent up hatred and frustration is pouring out right here, Randy!
Zybala finally manages to duck a haymaker from Twilight and takes advantage, catching him with a side effect.
RW: Mike Zybala with a reverse bulldog!
Mike pulls Twilight back to his feet and grabs a rear waistlock.
JC: Ouch Maker!
RW: What a German suplex!
Twilight rolls out of the ring, which only serves to anger Zybala. Mike follows Twilight out to the floor. With Twilight and Zybala on the outside, Cowboy Jack Jones and Nirvana jump into the ring and begin to fight as well.
RW: You weren't kidding, John! All Hell HAS broken loose here!
On the outside, Zybala grabs Twilight only to be taken down with a side Russian leg sweep on the floor. Twilight stomps Zybala a couple times before bringing him to his feet. He backs up and goes for a clothesline, but Zybala ducks under. When Twilight turns around Zybala turns around and delivers a DDT!
Ref: ONE!
Zybala then mounts Twilight and begins reigning down rights and lefts across the head of his rival. Inside the ring, Jones takes Nirvana down with an inverted neckbreaker.
Ref: TWO!
Twilight manages to shove Zybala off of him and get to his feet. They again begin to exchange punches as in the ring Cowboy Jack climbs to the top rope. He jumps off at Nirvana, looking to hit "The Cows Come Home" flying headbutt. Nirv rolls out of the way and Cowboy faceplants into the mat.
Ref: THREE!
Back on the outside, Zybala again ducks a big right hand from Twilight, this time catching him with the fireman's carry slam he calls the "Z-Factor." In the ring, Nirvana waits for Cowboy Jack to get up and when he does puts him back down with a spin kick.
Ref: FOUR!
Zybala now grabs the fallen Twilight's leg and puts him in the "Can You Say Oww" (single leg Boston crab with an ankle lock).
Ref: FIVE!
Nirvana lifts Cowboy Jack and slams him down with Lucretia's Death 1.
Ref: SIX!
JC: SEVEN!
RW: EIGHT!
Hearing the referee count nine, Zybala goes wide-eyed. Releasing his hold on Twilight, he tries to get back into the ring.
Ref: TEN!
JC: Did he make it?!
The bell rings.
RW: What is it?!
The referee tells the ring announcer and timekeeper his decision, and the ring announcer gives the announcement the match has ended in a double countout.
JC: Well I'll be damned!
Mike Zybala slams the mat in frustration as Nirvana gets to his feet looking shocked. Zybala slides back out of the ring, intending to exact his revenge on Twilight. But Twilight is already back to his feet and catches Mike with a right hand. They start at each other again, throwing hard, heavy punches.
RW: These two aren't done tearing each other apart!
A swarm of referees, trainers and security rush out, trying to break up the brawl. They pull the two apart, but Twilight breaks free and goes back after Zybala with punches and elbows to the head.
JC: This is crazy! They won't stop fighting!
Again the referees pry Twilight away from Zybala, only to have Mike rassle his way free and charge Twilight with punches and elbows of his own. Twilight tries to fight back, and the flailing arms of the two men start knocking down the refs, trainers and security surrounding them. Twilight manages to catch Zybala with an uppercut that stuns him momentarily and causes him to take a couple steps back.
RW: Good God! This is like Christmas at the in-laws' house out here!
Twilight runs at Zybala and swings at him with a clothesline, looking to take his head off. Mike ducks and when Twilight turns around, he scoops him up on his shoulders in a fireman's carry! The referees and trainers plead with him to stop, but Zybala ignores them!
JC: Oh no! It could be Mind Eraser time for Twilight!
RW: Not on the floor! That could kill him!
JC: Twilight counters!
Twilight slides off of Zybala's shoulders, landing behind him. He grabs Mike's head and drops him with an inverted DDT on the floor!
RW: DARKEST LIGHTS!
Twilight stands over the fallen Zybala, a look of fury and hatred on his face. Finally the referees get Twilight to leave.
JC: It's about time!
RW: A little late for Zybala, though! I'd say Twilight wins this round!
JC: But there issues are far from over, Randy!
Winner: No contest
As the match is broken up we hear Wait and Bleed hit as Nirvana and Mike look up and we Lucretia get pushed onto the rampway. Nirvana starts to make his way up but we see two cloaked men put up their hands warning him against coming any closer. She struggles but cant get away.
RW: What the hell?
One of the men takes his hood off…
JC: That’s?..... That’s Redd! Redd is back in SFT finally!?!
Redd smiles as Nirvana looks up at him with hate and nothing but it.
Redd with mic: Good boys, good boys, you didn’t win the match as you were ordered now youll find out what hoop to jump through in the next few days. Shadow isn’t through with you guys at all.
Twilight and Jack go up and join Twilight and the other hooded man and they all smile as Nirvana is powerless to follow them, he looks up at Shadow in the sky box and we can see him mouth the words “payback will be mine.”
JC: Wow this is getting crazy.
RW: that’s putting it mildly.
Match Number Four The Lion vs.
DVD ( Non Title match )
JC: The Lion and DVD are already in the ring.
RW: They're not waiting for the referee to start the match.
Lion and DVD start tearing into each other. They trade punches back and forth. DVD goes for a haymaker, but Lion ducks behind and knees DVD's back and hits a reverse DDT. He pins but only gets a 1 count. Lion picks up DVD and whips him to the ropes and hits a armdrag and goes straight into a jujigatame.
JC: OH MY, what a smooth transition from armdrag to cross armbreaker.
RW: DVD is gonna have a problem now.
DVD fights his way to the ropes and barely manages to get his foot on the bottom rope. Lion breaks the hold and quickly stomps DVD and then picks him up and whips him to the ropes. Lion attemps a powerslam off the rebound and DVD reverses and ends up behind Lion. Lion turns around and gets hit with a superkick for his trouble. DVD falls into a pin on Lion.
1...
2...
Lion kicks out and DVD holds his head. DVD gets up and picks up Lion and whips him to the turnbuckle. Lion hits hard, and is then hit with a leaping back elbow from DVD. DVD sets Lion on the top rope, and DVD follows. Then both end up standing on the top rope as DVD attempts a superplex, but their balance is wobbly. Lion fights off the superplex. DVD and Lion start punching each other in the face, and then DVD headbutts Lion, causing both of them to lose their balance and they both fall to the ringside floor.
JC: Oh my God.
RW: HOLY SHIT!!! I think they're dead.
The ref starts a count, but neither man is moving. The referee gets to 10 and still neither man moves. The match is declared a double countout as EMT's rush to ringside.
Winner: No Contest
Ending
JC: What an ending to this night. Both men may be seriously injured. I don't know what to say.
RW: Just...wow...
