SCENE 1
RANDY ORTON PARTY
"Burning Light" cuts off the commentators and we suddenly cut to the stage, where we see the first-ever IWOW Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton who six days earlier retired Dean Malenko for good in the Triple Cage. He is wearing a suit for the special occasion as inside the ring, there is a red carpet, tassles on the ropes and balloons everywhere. Orton marches to the ring, the belt fitting superbly on his shoulder. He grins as he steps through the gold-wrapped ropes into the ring. Michael Buffer stands up from his seat at ringside.

Buffer: Ladies and gentlemen, please rise as we meet in this arena to celebrate the new and first-ever International World of Wrestling Heavyweight Champion of the World! Randy Orton!

Buffer sits down as Orton picks up a microphone lying in the corner, popping one or two balloons on the way.

Orton: Hahahahaha, Hahahahaha! You all doubted me! You all thought I couldn't do it! Inside every one of you, you thought 99% Dean Malenko, but you never knew that the 1% that was supporting me was larger! All must hail to my reign! All will fall to the great one! All will fail in their attempt at taking the throne of Orton! Finally the Orton legacy that has failed to achieve full time status has finally succeeded. After three generations, an Orton has become a true World Champion! Queen Elizabeth II is not as good as me! I'm true royalty---

The fans chant "He's a Goddess" and "Slut" to Orton's disgust.

Orton: Shut up, lousy limeys! I don't care who or what I'm facing tonight, because it doesn't matter, no! I'll beat them and wake up with this belt! In fact I'll have this the morning after I wake up from Ride of Your Life! And--

"This Fire Burns" hits the stage as "The Straight Edge Superstar", CM Punk enters to a neutral response, and confronts Orton.

Punk: Hmm, Randy Orton. Where does that name come from? Oh yeah, I beat him earlier this year. Ya know what, Orton? You sure do remind me of someone else... someone old, and out of shape, someone who thinks he have mojo with the ladies when he himself is already married. Who would that be?... Oh yeah, Ric Flair, Paul Levesque, Michael Hickenbottom!

Orton: I am not any of those names you just said!

Punk: You're denying it!

Orton: I am not!

Punk: Just admit!

Orton: No!

[OFFSCREEN]: Shut up!

The camera pans to the ramp where Joe stands, wearing a simple white shirt over his trunks.

Joe: You guys can stand there and wreck the mic with your spit or you can make then speakers useful and let me ram them up your asses! So then, I can swipe the Heavyweight title!

Joe gets on the apron and the three drop the mics and argue in the ring. All of a sudden the lights go out and we are tranferred to a black room, a small shade of light looking over Raven.

Raven: Puppets, mere puppets. As the man who changes fate, I will easily eat you like bate. For those who look me in the eye, those shall die, the evil spies. You are simple puppets, attached by string. And I am the one controlling them. Joe, you are just like Tommy Dreamer... An inferior myth that is too fat to face me. CM Punk, I took you under my wing, and you disobeyed me! And now, now I get to bring pain! YOU ALL CAN VOTE FOR ANYBODY YOU WANT... for only you know who you want to face... the WORLD CHAMPION!! Quothe, the Raven... Nevermore, hahahaha!

Raven rolls his eyes back into his head with evil laughter as the men in the ring are left shocked. We go to commercial.

Match #1
IWOW Women's Championship
Jazz (c) vs. Lita
Lita was really with the punches and clotheslines. She got pretty far into the bout, hitting the Twist of Fate twice but having near falls. Jazz started taking the highway to victory, giving Lita cheap attacks like roll ups with the tights and ropes, at first an eye rake. Jazz hit a Fisherman Buster but Lita rolled out of it and hit a third Twist of Fate. Lita knocked Jazz down with a DDT but when going for the Moonsault, Katie Lea smashed a chair over Lita's skull! Lita started bleeding as Jazz rolls over and covers to retain the title! Jazz wakes up and Katie Lea passes Jazz her title. Jazz looks confused as the two actually walk away like friends. Lita is left lying in the ring!
WINNER: Jazz [12:25]
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We head to the back where AJ Styles is standing in Paul Heyman's office, Kevin Nash stands at his side, arms crossed, glaring at Styles' title belt. A small image appears in the lower-hand corner of the screen saying "Earlier Today" as Paul enters.

Heyman: Hey, AJ, I'm sorry but I'm afraid your win at Horror 2007 was a fault made by the officiating of referee Tim White. Now-

AJ: No, you've been using this to attack the officials and innocent wrestlers. The match was no disqualification rules and---

Heyman: Now look! The original match was 3-way dance. Three way dance is really elimination rules. In this style, disqualification counts---

AJ: I didn't use a weapon at first! Edge and Christian used the chairs, I used them afterwards.

Heyman: Which would of meant Edge would of retained by disqualification. BUT NOW LOOK AT ME, STYLES!

Nash chokes AJ in the back of the head with a claw.

Heyman: I CAN FIRE YOUR ASS RIGHT NOW! BUT UNLIKE BISCHOFF, I ENJOY TORTURING THOSE WHO FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE AROUND THE OFFICE! TONIGHT YOU'LL FACE NASH AND YOU WILL LOSE! YOU ARE HIGH-FLYING! BUT EVERYTHING CRASHES AND BURNS MY LIGHTWEIGHT FRIEND!

Nash tosses AJ across the room as Heyman laughs and leaves. AJ is left lying on the desk of Heyman.

Match #2
IWOW Junior Heavyweight Championship Falls Count Anywhere
Jonny Storm (c) vs. Rey Mysterio
"Booyaka 619" by P.O.D. hits and Rey Mysterio dives from the stage. His entrance is cut short by Storm, hammering Mysterio with a singapore cane. Storm tears off his shirt and removes the title belt from his own waist. Storm and Mysterio eventually fight out into the audience, where Mysterio nearly has Storm by hitting a moonsault from the walls where the hockey glass would be. Mysterio and Storm eventually fight up to the upper areas of the arena. Storm is hit by a chair and holds himself up using the iron banister, Mysterio hits a 619, Storm falls down a few columns and Mysterio hits a moonsault! However he still gets only a near fall. Jonny finally makes it into the ring but is dragged out backstage. Storm, a bloody mess from the attacks earlier. Mysterio and Storm fight into the ladies locker-room where we accidentally spot Torrie coming out of the shower. She screams and hides in a corner, a towel around her. Storm tries for a super kick but accidentally kicks a shower stall open, giving us a full back view of Molly Holly! Mysterio slams Storm's head through the hair drier and shoves Jonny into the stall, leaving Storm a mess. Mysterio and Storm fall out of the ladies locker-room and Mysterio tosses Storm through the window! Storm is left on the pond near the foundation and Mysterio splashes onto him and gets the three count! Mysterio dives off of the pond onto the platform in the centre and escapes with the belt. EMTs help the unconscious Storm out of the bottom of the pond!
WINNER: Rey Mysterio [22:20]
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Match #3
IWOW Intercontinental Championship
AJ Styles (c) vs. Kevin Nash
Nash dominated. As expected, this was almost an entire squash. Nash sometimes slipped up, botching up a suplex and a powerbomb. AJ almost got a clean win with a sunset flip but Nash powered out. Not else much to note. The ending came short when Nash Jackknifed Styles, ignoring the referee's orders to stop. Heyman came out and made the match (see "Ride of Your Life" post in the help board).
WINNER: AJ Styles [05:54]
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We go to the back where Heyman is laughing, along with Nash, walking up the corridor. Heyman puts the key in the lock but it wouldn't go in. Heyman looks up close and notices the key lock is glued shut. Benjamin walks in the background, laughing as Nash spots him and chases him up the hallway but is unable to catch him.

Heyman: Get that little bastard!

Match #4
IWOW Extreme Championship Boiler Room Brawl
Tommy Dreamer (c) vs. Raven
This match started in a boiler room. How obvious. Raven and Dreamer must have been hurting after this. There was DDTs on the concrete, tables, chains, thumbtacks and other deathtraps involved. The two fought on the floors of the boiler for ten minutes before finally spreading out to the backstage area. At one point, Raven threw an empty glass in Dreamer's face from the concession stand and ran to the stage. Dreamer caught up and gave Raven a brainbuster. Dreamer pulled out a table but with lighttubes instead of wood and set it up at the side of the ring. Dreamer knocked Raven unconscious with a Death Valley Driver onto the steps and got on the apron but Raven hit him in the spine with a singapore cane. Dreamer falls through the lighttubes but Randy Orton hits a sudden RKO onto the steps! Orton drags Dreamer's carcuss into the ring and he retains!
WINNER: Tommy Dreamer [18:50]
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Match #5
IWOW Tag Team Championship
Briscoe Brothers (c) vs. Island Monsters
This was a gripping match, both teams going into it with power. Ability was the effort put into it and made it enjoyable. Jay and Mark worked on the left arm of Rikishi as Umaga was trapped on the apron. After around five minutes of working the arm, Rikishi blocked a splash from the top rope and samoan dropped Jay. Umaga was unleashed and went to work on the spine of Jay. At one point he could of had the win after a gorilla press slam into a backbreaker. However the referee was distracted by the Maximos at ringside, trying to disrupt the bout. Jay finally reversed a clothesline and turned it into a crucifix roll up before tagging in Mark. He went crazy with dropkicks and clothesline before the two Briscoes hit the Spike Piledriver on Umaga and covered for the victory! CM Punk looked on at them, unhappy at their loss.
WINNERS: Briscoe Brothers [13:21]________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Match #6
IWOW Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton (c) vs. CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe
We return from commercials to Punk and Joe already in there, battling it away. Orton's music hit around the three minute mark and he wisely chose to remain at ringside. Punk hit Joe with some pretty hard-hitting moves such as the enziguri and even attempted the Go 2 Sleep but Joe covered. Throughout this time, Orton only ever stepped into the ring to break up a submission or cover. His streak was ended after Joe hit him with a dropkick to the head. Orton was then hit by the GTS and locked in the Anaconda Vice but Joe broke it up and hit him with the Muscle Buster. Orton hit an RKO on Joe but Punk hit the GTS again on Orton! He covered but Yokohama, Rikishi and Umaga attacked the referee. Punk stood in shock as his own stable-mates attacked the man to count his winning fall. Joe gave him a hard enziguri to the back of the skull before Orton roled him up. he scored three and escaped from the clutches of both Punk and the Monsters. Orton walks backwards but walks into the Evenflow DDT right onto the ramp! Raven laughs on the stage as we go off the air!
