Avatar goes for a savate kick, but Ministry blocks it and choke slams her for a two-count. Ministry stomps Avatar down and kicks her, then gets another two-count. Ministry pulls Avatar up and whips her into the corner, then rushes in with the big boot only for Avatar to move out of the way and hit a reverse neckbreaker for a two-count. Avatar moves around and puts Ministry in a bow-and-arrow submission, but Ministry breaks it after 15 seconds. Avatar nails Ministry with a Shining Wizard and gets a two-count. Ministry sits up! Avatar moves in on him again, but Ministry grabs her by the throat and throws her into the corner. She gives him a kick to the midsection and goes for a DDT, but Ministry stops her with a punch to the stomach. He nails her with an uppercut that busts her open! Ministry applies a boot choke, and stops at four. He does it again, and stops at four again. Ministry pulls Avatar up and hits the Final Chapter, but she kicks out! Ministry complains about a slow count, then gives the referee the Final Chapter. Avatar comes up behind him with a low blow, then drops him with a bulldog. She sees the referee out, kicks Ministry in the head, then climbs out of the ring and grabs a chair. Mr. Night tries to get in the way, but she takes him out with a savate kick. Avatar rolls into the ring and screams at Ministry before putting the chair down, picking Ministry up, and giving him a DDT on the chair. Avatar pulls Ministry up and actually goes for the Avatar Clash, but Ministry sends her flying with a backdrop. Avatar is on her feet with a kip-up, and she hits a surprise superkick on Ministry. Cale, Sekhmet, Dais, and Marilith come out, but they get blindsided by Randy Orton, Dawson Polaris, Climbatize, and Sam Hart. Ministry gets to his feet, and Avatar comes off the top turnbuckle with a flying spinning leg lariat. She then grabs the chair, puts it on top of Ministry, and gives him an Asai moonsault. The referee is still down. Ministry gets up again, tries to whip Avatar into the ropes only to have her reverse it, and then eats the a pele kick on the rebound. Avatar pulls Ministry up and gets ready for the Avatar Clash again. That's when Mr. Night comes into the ring and throws a fireball in Avatar's face. She screams as she goes down, and Night rouses the referee. Orton, Dawson, Climbatize, and Hart try to get to the ring, but are cut off by Cale, Sekhmet, Dais, and Marilith. Avatar is out of it as Ministry picks her up and gives her the Eternal Damnation to get the three-count!

HA! Told you! :p

 

Yeah, and you should see what your advice has done to my roster's popularity. I have SEVEN people (Alex Dunvegan, Dawson Polaris, Devon Storm, Jimmy Dragon, Joey T, Ministry, and Randy Orton) with A* popularity and another SEVEN (Felicia Duarte, Jerry Dunvegan, John Sebastian, Kate Avatar, Rob Van Dam, Sarah Dunvegan, and Steve Liermann) with A popularity. They all have A or higher momentum . . . In fact, most of my jobbers even have at least C+ momentum.

 

Best of all, I haven't had a B rated show (on my A show that is) since I took your advice on my product and on how to get my workers' popularity up. I dread the forthcoming wage increases my workers are going to be getting when their contracts are up. Good thing I'm actually making money now. Three brands of house shows are definitely a good thing.

 

So IWF's newfound prosperity is thanks to you. I just wish there was a non-cheating way to increase a promotion's popularity beyond 90.1. I still cheat at that, giving myself 0.1 (0.1 only) if my show is better than my popularity, though a couple times now I actually had a couple shows good enough for the game to give me popularity in my B+ regions. Even my A* show did nothing for my A region, unfortunately, not even a 0.1 increase. Oh well, I'm getting what I wanted out of it finally, so thanks.

 

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. :)

Brandon Harwell is backstage before his match cutting an interview. He says he didn't dismantle the hold Clan Dunvegan had on IWF because it was personal, he did it to ensure IWF's survival as the next generation took over. Even the Dunvegan siblings should appreciate that since three of them are in that next generation, but they're too blinded by the Clan Dunvegan legacy. Harwell says he'll fight any and every Dunvegan on the way to the end of Imperial Games, starting with Alex tonight.

Brandon Harwell gets on the mic and gives props to Edgar Dunvegan for a good match. He says he's not out to destroy anyone. He's just out to proove that he can own the company and still wrestle without any bias. He wants to proove himself, and he's been doing exactly that.

Jerry gives her a bodyslam, then goes to the top turnbuckle and hits a flying kneedrop for a two-count. After punching her several times, she's busted open. Avatar seems to be out of it, and Jerry gets ready for the Enforcer. He comes off the ropes, and Avatar pulls off the pele kick, staggering Jerry. She then grabs him and performs the Enforcer on him! Avatar only gets a two-count from it. Jerry is infuriated. Avatar whips Jerry into the ropes, and this time Jerry catches her by surprise and hits the Enforcer.

Brandon Harwell gets on the mic and says this is what he prepared for, that this was what he was fighting for. He's not just the IWF Owner, but a fighter as well, and now everyone will know the respect and fear he deserves from them. He tells them to look at what happened to Sarah Dunvegan, and promises the same will happen to anyone who threatens IWF or his regime.

Here is the final bracket of the complete Imperial Games 2003:

 

 

Only one person entered predictions (disappointing) so she'll be the one to pick the challenger for Mutually Assured Destruction in August. There was no perfect bracket, of course, so that prize is null and void. I hope more people enter predictions next year!

Main Show

Ministry makes an appearance and talks to the audience, saying their hero, Dawson Polaris, failed to defeat him last night. He says the darkness will continue to spread until it consumes everything and everyone. He finally adds that the real Anubis would be proud.

 

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/RandyOrton2.jpg

 

Randy Orton actually has the audacity to interrupt Ministry, and Ministry is shocked with wide eyes. Orton says IWF doesn't need any heroes, that IWF only needs a real champion. That real champion doesn't send girls out to do a man's job or use fireballs to take down opponents. He says that, as the IWF United States Champion, he considers himself the number-one-contender to Ministry's IWF World Heavyweight Title. They eventually get into a fight and have to get pulled apart. The match is made for the two to face each other at Summer of War.

Sinister vs. "The Whole F'n Show" Rob Van Dam ©

 

Rob Van Dam and Sinister open with a fast chain of moves, with RVD coming out on top. RVD hits a few kicks, but misses an enzuigiri and gets dropped with an inverted powerbomb. RVD was right back on his feet, but Sinister hit him with a moonsault bodyblock for a two-count. Sinister pulls RVD up and goes for a DDT, but RVD gives him a series of punches to the stomach and hits a DDT of his own. He then goes to the top turnbuckle and hits the Five Star Frog Splash for the win!

Dragon comes out and asks what he wants. Harwell says they never had a chance to meet during Imperial Games, but that he wants to proove himself against the best of the best before he topples Ministry at Extreme Warfare. Dragon agrees, and they make the match for Summer of War.

The Dynasty vs. Jimmy Dragon and Felicia Duarte

 

Jimmy Dragon and Jerry Dunvegan start out, but Jerry quickly tags in Bad Ass Brad Jones. They lock up, and Dragon lays into BABJ with a series of kicks. They perform a chain of moves, and Dragon comes out winning the exchange with a hammerlock. BABJ rolls through it and trips Dragon up, then pulls him into his team's corner where he and Jerry double-team him. Dragon fights back to his feet and makes a desperate tag to Felicia Duarte. Jerry and BABJ circle her and taunt her for being a woman in a man's world. Felicia finally has enough of it and bitch slaps BABJ. Jerry tries to move in, but eats a pele kick from Felicia, who then spears BABJ. Felicia hits a moonsault for a two-count. BABJ tries to force her to the mat, but she gets away from him. They brawl back and forth for a time, then take each other down with clotheslines. They both make desperate tags, and Dragon and Jerry finally face off, laying into each other. Dragon keeps up the brawl, then hits an inside crescent kick that takes Jerry by surprise. Dragon gives him an armdrag takedown, then a spinning headscissors. Jerry goes for the Enforcer, but Dragon counters with a Northern Lights suplex for a two-count. After laying him out with a savate kick, Dragon goes to the top turnbuckle and hits the Dragon Fly. Felicia cuts BABJ off across the ring and Dragon hits the Dragon Driver to get the win!

As Jimmy Dragon and Felicia Duarte celebrate their win, Mista Ed and Shorty Biggs hit the ring and lay into them. Sinister is playing referee as usual, and Jerry Dunvegan and Bad Ass Brad Jones just laugh at their opponents' misfortunes. They hit the DDC on Felicia, then they hit it on Dragon. Before they can go for the pin, though, Sarah Dunvegan hits the ring and lays them out with a flying spinning leg lariat. Ed and Biggs don't know what to do and leave the ring as Sarah watches them carefully.

Sarah Dunvegan gets on the mic to explain herself, and she apologizes to Felicia Duarte for turning on her. She admits she was a complete bitch and was full of herself, but now that she's at war with her brothers, she knows now how powerless she is alone. She asks Felicia to give her another chance and join up again. Felicia is shocked and doesn't know how to respond as the show goes off the air.

Kate Avatar interrupts RVD and says she's more than capable of beating him. RVD laughs it off and declares no woman has ever held meaninful gold, even declaring that the IWF Tag Team Titles held by Sarah Dunvegan and Felicia Duarte didn't count because they were for losers who can't fight one-on-one. They argue about it for several minutes, then agree to meet at Summer of War for the IWF Television Title.

Marilith tries to wrestle on the mat with Sam Hart, but is clearly outmatched. Nonetheless, it's a pretty good match, and it's obvious they have great chemistry fighting each other. Sam works ground holds as Marilith tries to get back into the fight. Once up, Marilith looks ready to give him the Choke Slam when he gives her an elbow to the face, busting her open! She stumbles, and Hart nails the Hart-Breaker to get the win!

Brandon Harwell comes out to cheers from the crowd, and he cuts a promo on Jimmy Dragon. He says that Doug Dunvegan knew Dragon was the hottest draw in the world, and he recognizes it as well. He declares Dragon truly is the "Franchise" of IWF and deserves every accolade for being the greatest wrestler in the world. That's why he wants to test himself against Dragon. It's been a long time since their last singles match, and Harwell wants to see how far they've come. He ends by saying "May the better man win." The crowd is eating it up.

Randy Orton gets on the mic and says that he's just proven he can take on larger opponents and that size doesn't matter. He says Ministry is going to be another victim of the RKO before being buried in that stupid casket at Summer of War.

Sarah Dunvegan is backstage and cuts a promo against Ministry. She says she may have lost Imperial Games, but she's not going to lose tonight. She says she's going to have the belt and is going to get a rematch against Brandon Harwell at Extreme Warfare. It's time the women rise up and take on the odds. If a little anarchy is the result, that's even better.

Ministry is back in his darkened room with Mr. Night. Mr. Night says the darkness is going to continue to spread. He says Sarah Dunvegan is an easy obstacle to overcome. Ministry speaks then and says he'll bury Sarah's career if he must. He doesn't care about size or gender, only spreading the great darkness over IWF.

IWF World Heavyweight Title Bout

Sarah Dunvegan vs. Ministry ©

 

Sarah Dunvegan doesn't lock up with Ministry right away, thinking up a battle plan. Ministry moves in, but Sarah retreats from him. Ministry moves in again, and takes a dropkick to the knee followed by a drop toe hold. Sarah puts him in a crossface submission, but Ministry breaks the hold after 10 seconds. Ministry fights to his feet and gives Sarah a series of punches that busts her open! Sarah seems to get fired up by that and hits several chops on Ministry before performing a chain of moves that ends with Sarah having Ministry in a side headlock. Ministry counters with a belly-to-back suplex attempt, but Sarah backflips and lands on her feet. Ministry turns and eats a superkick for a two-count. Sarah then hits an Asai moonsault for a two-count. Ministry rolls out of the ring to regroup with Mr. Night. Sarah hits a massive running somersault plancha onto them. Sarah whips Ministry into the guardrail, then slams his face into the ring post. Ministry lays her out with a clothesline and throws her back in the ring. Both are up, and Ministry hits a series of punches before taking her down with a bodyslam. He gives her a legdrop for a two-count. Sarah fights back to her feet, hits a dropkick to the knee, then another, then hits a handspring back elbow to knock him down. Sarah moves in, but Ministry pulls the referee in the way. This gives Mr. Night the opportunity to enter the ring and throw salt in Sarah's face. She is staggered by it, and Ministry shoves the referee away and quickly hits the Eternal Damnation. Ministry uses the ropes for leverage and gets the pin!
