March 14th, 2008 LIVE from Redmond, Washington

BOOM! BAM! KAPOW! Pyro blasts off on the stage as Inferno kicks off! We are joined at ringside by Inferno commentators Phil Stevens and Steve Phillips...

Steve: Welcome to Inferno!

Phil: We've got some GREAT matches lined up... and I do mean GREAT!

Steve: Also, we'd like to inform you all, that the World Championship match between Dave Van Dam and Annika Reizeger has beeen postponed until next Tuesday Night Titans!

Phil: We've still got two other Championship matches though!

Steve: The Us Championship and the Tag Team Championship! Oh... here comes our first match!

"Cowboy" Jack Jones vs. Mark Halbrook
(Standard Match)

"I Got Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks hits the Pa and Jack Jones comes out from the back to cheers. He comes down to the ring, and poses for the fans.

Phil: Jack Jones looks better then ever... he seems like the perennial guy to test all the new wrestlers in SFT, and I think he likes that role.

Mark Halbrook's music hits and he steps out from the back. He gets into the ring and stares down Jack Jones. The ref calls for the bell. Halbrook lunges in, in an attempt to tackle Jones to the mat but Cowboy Jack sidesteps. Halbrook stumbles as Jones gets behind him. Jones wraps his arms around Halbrook's waist and then throws him backwards in a german suplex pin.

Steve: Already!?

Kickout!

Halbrook kicks out of it. Jones lifts Halbrook to his feet and then sets him up between his legs. He lifts him up and drops him down hard in a piledriver. The crowd cheers as Jones leaps to his feet and immediately plants a leg drop. Halbrook clutches his throat as Cowboy Jack Jones pins again.

2...

Kickout!

Halbrook gets a shoulder up. Jones wastes no time and gets up, pulling Halbrook with him. Jack Jones grabs Halbrook's arm and whips him into the corner. Jones runs at him and clotheslines him hard. Halbrook stumbles out of the corner and to the middle of the ring. He shakes it off and then turns to face Jones. Jack Jones scoops Halbrook up and then slams him right back down in a huge powerslam.

Steve: Oh man! Jack Jones is all business!

Phil: ...Sweet.

Jones runs over to the corner and leaps up to the top rope. He stares down at Mark Halbrook for a moment and then leaps off, nailing Halbrook across the throat with his trademark "Out to Graze"! The crowd cheers as Jones leaps to his feet and yells. Jones points back to the corner as the crowd cheers louder.

Steve: Here we go!

Cowboy Jack Jones runs back to the corner as Halbrook begins stirring. Jones climbs up to the top rope as Halbrook slowly begins climbing to his feet. Jones turns himself around to face Halbrook. Right as he turns Halbrook gets to his feet. Cowboy Jack Jones then leaps off, going for the "Night Sky". Mark steps aside and Jack crashes to the canvas. Halbrook then runs to the ropes and quickly climbs to the top, he then nails a huge splash, and makes the pin on Jack Jones.

Steve: What an upset! Mark Halbrook has beaten a former World Champion.

Mike Zybala vs. Daniel Jacobson vs. Trent Steel
(United States Championship Match)

"10,000 Fists" by Disturbed plays and Mike Zybala comes moshing through the crowd. He ops the railing and slides intot the ring.

Phil: He's a former World Champion... Mike Zybala! Whoopdie doo!

Steve: Was that sarcasm?

Phil: .....no.....

Daniel Jacobson's music plays and he walks to the ring. He slaps a few fan's hands, and enters the ring.

Steve: This rookie has got potentials I tell ya!

Trent Steel's music plays and he walks out from the back with the Unites States Championship around his waist. He poses on the stage, then walks down to the ring. He slides into the ring and holds the championship high in the air, before he hands it to the referee.

Phil: Let's get this match rollin!

The three men are all occupying different corners of the ring and are shooting each other suspicious looks, each waiting for one of the others to make the first move. After about 30 seconds, it’s Trent who seizes the initiative by walking across the ring and blasting Zybala with an open-hand slap to the face. Unsurprisingly, this isn’t well received by Zybala, who retaliates with a slap of his own as the two men begin to brawl furiously, then prompting Jacobson to throw his own two cents in as all three men throw punches at anything that moves.

Steve: Well, I guess that they don’t feel like forming any alliances right now, all three of them seem pretty content to just beat the crap out of each other.

After a minute or so of furious brawling, Jacobson rolls out of the ring, seemingly deciding that it’s better to let Zybala and Trent Steel do the hard work and then attempt to pick up the pieces afterwards. Eventually, Zybala gets the better of the fistfight and manages to stagger Trent long enough to drill him with a huge Spinebuster, before following up with an elbow to the sternum of the US Champion. As Zybala considers his next move, Jacobson senses his opportunity and slides back into the ring, catching Zybala totally off-guard with a spinning back kick to the back of the head, dripping Mike to his knees and putting Jacobson firmly in the driving seat.

Phil: Smart strategy from Daniel Jacobson, he let the others punch themselves out, then waited for his chance to feast on the remains, now it’s gonna bee a case of how long he can hold on to that advantage for, and what he can do while he has it.

Jacobson opts to continue with Zybala as his main target, lock in a rear naked choke, which he manages to hold for a about 5 seconds or so before Trent breaks up the hold with a kick to Jacobson’ back.

Phil: Right there, you saw exactly what these Triple Threat matches are all about. As soon as it looks like one person is establishing and advantage, and maybe a chance to get the wing, it can only take one move for the pendulum to swing in a whole different direction.

Before Steel has a chance to capitalise, Jacobson manages to shake off the effects of the kick at about the same time as Zybala manages to stumble to his feet, and as, if by some kind of unspoken link, the two combine to flatten Trent with a double clothesline before Jacobson climbs to the top rope to deliver a Swanton Bomb.

Steve: Right now, it looks like Jacobson and Zybala make a pretty good team.

Phil: These things never last, you mark my words.

Seemingly contrary to what Phil has to say, this seems to be an alliance with some staying power as, following Jacobson’ top rope assault, the two drag Trent to his feet, allowing Zybala to lift Trent above his head and plant him with a gorilla press slam.

Steve: Zybala shows that he's got some power in the small frame of his!

Phil: This must be some kind of record for the longest time that this kind of alliance has held together in a Triple Threat environment, but don’t bet on it being permanent. Like I said earlier, however much they might work together to beat down Trent Steel, only one of them could take the win at the end of it, and that’s when the trouble starts.

For now, though, the win seems to be the last thing on either man’s mind as the back Trent into a corner, where Jacobson nails him with a series of martial arts blows before allowing him to stagger out towards the centre of the ring where Zybala catches him with another Spinebuster. Once again, Zybala drags Trent to his feet and pushes him towards Jacobson, who is primed for a super kick, but Trent finds the wherewithal to dodge the bullet, and the kick connects squarely with Mike Zybala’s jaw.

Phil: See, I told you that these things never last.

Steve: You have to say that, although that maybe wasn’t what Daniel Jacobson had planned on, he certainly doesn’t look too upset about the outcome either.

Phil: Why should he? It all plays right into his hands. He’s got Zybala down, and Trent Steel is still groggy from the punishment he’s taken in the last few minutes. Right now, you’d have to say that things are looking pretty good for Daniel Jacobson.

Circumstances in the ring have now seen Jacobson and Trent form an alliance and they are making the best of it while it lasts, attacking Mike Zybala as he lies on the mat after Jacobson’ errant shot to his jaw. Between the two, they are subjecting Zybala to a merciless barrage of stomps and kicks, rendering him near-enough unconscious. When they are seemingly satisfied with their handiwork, Jacobson motions to Trent and they lift the groggy Zybala up and drag him over to the ropes, where they manage to tie him up between the top and middle strands, rendering him defenceless to whatever attack the other two men feel like inflicting on him.

Phil: Somehow, I don’t like Mike Zybala’s chances in this particular situation.

Steve: Just be honest Randy, you don’t like Mike Zybala period.

Phil: ...yeah that seems accurate...

Trent is pointing at Zybala and explaining to Jacobson what they should do to him, as all the while, Jacobson is nodding his head in agreement. Jacobson moves around behind Trent, presumably the better to execute whatever plan they have set, but instead, double crosses the US Champion and takes the opportunity to lock in a dragon sleeper.

Steve: All together now folks “it was a set-up all along!” Jacobson set the bait, and Trent took it, hook, line and sinker, and Mike Zybala is trapped in the ropes, unable to do a damn thing about it.

Trent fights the move as best he can, and he just won't tap out. Jacobson breaks the hold, and Zybala just gets free from the ropes, but Daniel Jacobson clotheslines him over the top ropes. Just as he turns around, Trent Steel is getting to his feet, and Daniel Jacobson spears him! He makes the pin and Zybala goes to slide into the ring to break it up... but from nowhere, Connor MacDaddy holds onto Mike Zybala's legs, preventing him from breaking up the pin!

3!!

Phil: Oh my god! It's over! We have a new United States Champion!

Steve: The rookie just beat the Us Champion and a former World Champion to cature his first ever gold here in SFT! Daniel Jacobson is the United States Champion!

Phil: ...and Connor MacDaddy just cost Mike Zybala the match two weeks in a row!

Connor MacDaddy runs up the ramp, with Mike Zybala running after him. Connor grabs a mic from nowhere and turns around.

Connor MacDaddy: Woah! Stop! Listen to me!

Zybala stops just to humor Connor...

Connor MacDaddy: You asked me for a match last week... I have an answer for you...

Mike Zybala: I didn't ask you for anything... I challenged you!

Connor MacDaddy: Nonetheless... My answer is NO! As I said last week... I am only returning to defeat people who think they are great. Everybody knows, Mike Zybala is about the furthest from "great" there can be.

Mike Zybala: Okay... you got me... I may not be the greatest wrestler to ever grace SFT, and I may never be considered as that person. But I know one thing... the greatest wrestler in SFT is not a whining, manipulating, cheating, cheap sonuvabitch named Connor MacDaddy!

Connor MacDaddy: YOU TAKE THAT BACK! I am a two-time King of the Deathmatch!

Mike Zybala: So what? I'm a two-time beer champion in the state of New York.

Connor MacDaddy: So what? SO WHAT!? I'm a four time World Champion! A Body Count Rumble winner! Civil War Winner! Over 100 awards given to me by SFT! I AM THE GREATEST!

Mike Zybala: Okay okay... you are the greatest man in SFT...

Connor MacDaddy: Thank you...

Mike Zybala: ...at sucking.

Connor MacDaddy: OH GODDAMMIT!..... WE'RE ON! At Body Count... Mike Zybala vs. Connor MacDaddy... I am provong to you and everyone else... that I am the greatest wrestler in SFT History! AND... I am going to get my ten dollars back!

Mike Zybala smiles as Connor fumes and storms off stage.

Blood Money vs. The Black Foundation
(Tag Team Championship Match)

"Stupid MF" by Mindless Self Indulgence plays on the PA, as Black Foundation leaders Nirvana and Nex Angelus come out to the ring with thier Black Foundation Unity Championships. They walks down to the ring, focused on what lies aead. They walk up the steps and enter the ring.

Phil: Nex Angelus and Nirvana look to become the undisputed tag team champions in this match, they have nothing to lose!

Steve: There is ALWAYS something to lose.

Du Hast by Rammestien plays as the arena goes dark, moments later a white light turns on at the top of the entrance ramp where TK Money is standing. He holds his SFT Tag Team Championship high in the air. He then waits at the bottom of the ramp. Basketcase by Greenday hits as Twilight slowly walks to the ring. He meets up with TK and they high-five. The both enter the ring at the same time and pose for fans.

Phil: The champs look ready to roll!

The bell rings with TK Money and Nirvana starting out.

Steve: The Black Foundation has a shot at some REAL gold, not those fake things they carry around.

Nirvana is quick to smack a few left hands into TK’s gut and then go behind and locks on a dragon sleeper. It almost looks like it’s enough to take TK out but Twilight jumps onto the top rope and hits a elbow, breaking the hold!

Phil: AMAZING MOVE! AN ELBOW! MY MIND IS BLOWN!

Nex climbs into the ring to save his partner, grabbing Twilight by his hair and throwing him off. He goes to pick him back up but he hits him in the groin. He doesn’t let him fall to his knees though. he goes for the a clothesline but Nex lifts him back up and hits him with a huge spinebuster.

Steve: I guess this is a tornado match now?

Money gets back up and slaps Nirvana across the face. Nirvana returns the favour, then hits the snapmare and follows it up with a knee to the side of the head. Money rolls over and climbs quickly to his feet. Nirvana tries to hit him with a haymaker but Money ducks and hits an uppercut of his own. Nex, finished with Twilight walks up to help his partner and the two of them whip him into the ropes.

Phil: This is going to huuuuuurt.

Money stops dead in his tracks though, hits Nex with a jab to the face, kicks Nirvana in between the legs and then spear tackles Nex to the ground. Out of nowhere, Twilight slides across the ring and rolls up Nirvana with a school boy!

1...

2...

Kickout!

Nirvana looks pissed off but Twilight is able to rake his eyes and then hits the tomoi flip and begins hitting Nirvana across the face with axe handles as he pins his shoulders against the mat with his legs. Nirvana keeps lifting his shoulders to break the pin but he can’t shake him off. His nose starts bleeding and it only stops when TK Wolf accidentally whips Angelus into the two of them, knocking Twilight off and allowing Nirvana to lock in the Triangle Sleeper. Meanwhile, Angelus hits a DDT on Money.

Phil: He’s going to give up!

Steve: He has to get up, there’s no where out!

Angelus only makes the matter worse when he locks in the Figure-Four too! he’s screaming and TK is shouting back at him, begging for him not to give up. Eventually he is back onto his feet and Angelus releases his hold. He runs at TK but the lighter man gets out of the way and aids him out of the ring via going in between the ropes. He lands hard on the outside, face first!

Phil: OUCHY!

TK grabs Nirvana’s legs and catapaults him into the turnbuckle, forcing him to break the hold but leaving Twilight looking slightly broken! TK checks on him, only to be clubbed around the back of the head with a big boot from Nirvana! The former world champion goes to follow up with a sit out powerbomb, but Money starts hitting Nirvana and Twilight sweeps his feet out from under him, leaving Money on top with the pin. The ref starts counting and Twilight uses the ropes and helps pin too!

2...

Kickout!

Nex gets back into the ring with a bloodied lip and looks at Money. TK and Twilight go to hit a double clothesline on him but Angelus ducks. The two of them then shuffle backwards and hit a double superkick! Angelus goes flying across the ring! Then Nirvana gets back up and the two of them hit him with a double spear! The both cover for a pin!

1...

2...

Kickout!

Nex helps break up the pin!

Phil: I tell you what John, the tag team champions are being given a rough time here.

Steve: They just can't shake The Black Foundation.

Nex whips Twilight into one set of ropes and TK into the opposite ones, when they meet up in the centre of the ring, Angelus brings their heads together in a huge thump. Both of them are sent down giving the ref and Angelus the chance to bring Nirvana back up to his feet. Nirvana grabs Twilight and throws him out of the ring, leaving just Nex, Nirvana and TK Money! Angelus starts off with rough knuckle shots to the mid section and lifts Money up for a chokeslam! Nirvana drops to one knee and Nex brings TK down over Nirvana’s knee! A two-man "Break the Glass"!

Phil: OH GOD!

Then to add insult to injury, they celebrate in the ring until Twilight crawls into the ring. This time he manages to hit a clothesline on Nex, but Nirvana hits him with the Break The Glass, and makes the pin...
