Avatar rebounds with a dropkick to the knee. RVD goes down, and Avatar flips over him, snapping his head back in the process. Avatar hits an Asai moonsault for a two-count. Avatar pulls RVD up and tries to whip him into the corner, but RVD reverses it then goes in and takes her down with a monkey flip. Avatar is back up, and RVD charges right into an STO for a two-count. RVD brings Avatar down with a snap mare and puts her in a bow-and-arrow submission. Avatar powers out of it after 12 seconds, turns RVD around, gives him a high knee, then nails a superkick, resulting in a two-count. RVD answers with a series of kicks followed by an inside crescent kick that staggers Avatar. He takes her down with an atomic drop, then hits the Rolling Thunder for a two-count. RVD whips Avatar into the corner and stomps her down, then pulls her out and hits the Split Legged Moonsault for a two-count.

Bill Alfonso tosses RVD a chair, which he tosses to Avatar before hitting the Van Daminator, busting her open! Not finished, he drags her into the corner, drops up the chair, and hits the Van Terminator. Avatar is bleeding all over the place. RVD pulls Avatar out and goes for the pin, and the referee slowly counts, but Avatar kicks out! Fonzie gets the referee's attention, and Devon Storm runs down to the ring. RVD pulls Avatar up, and she gives him a pele. Before she can follow up, Storm grabs her and nails her with the Drop Off. Storm leaves the ring and Fonzie gets off the ring apron, and RVD goes up and hits the Five Star Frog Splash to get the win!

Kahuna tosses Oddball out of the ring, then hits a massive tope con hilo that shocks everyone in attendance. Kahuna hits Oddball with a chair, then the ring bell, then another chair. Oddball finally brings Suzie to bear on him and busts him open! Their timing seems to be a bit off, and they make it back to the ring. Oddball gives Kahuna a DDT on Suzie and gets the pin!

Backstage in a darkened room, Ministry prepares for his match. Mr. Night begins to speak, but Ministry holds up a hand to speak for himself. He says that being "Classic" is a faded fad and that this is the era of darkness. He says that Anubis was a failure and a traitor to the cause, but he won't make the same mistakes. He says he'll bury Classic tonight and that will be the end.

A hype video plays for the main event between John Sebastian and Ministry. It starts with Classic's loss to Jimmy Dragon and his vows to get the belt back. It shows how he was taken out of the match long enough for Ministry to close the casket lid on Dragon at Battlezone. It goes through their recent face-offs and then does the tale of the tape for the two of them.

Ministry is backstage in a darkened room, as usual, preparing. He says he doesn't care how many title shots Kate Avatar gets, she is doomed. Ministry insults her for even thinking she could step in the same ring as him. He says he will bury Avatar and then no one will have to worry about her anymore.

Kate Avatar kept her distance from Ministry as the match began, not wanting to get hammered. She slowly nears him. Ministry lashes out at Avatar and hammers her, then hits an inverted atomic drop followed by a clothesline. Avatar gets to her feet, and is immediately eating a series of pucches to the face, busting her open! Avatar is in the corner, and Ministry kicks and stomps her down. Ministry yanks Avatar out, grabs her by the legs, swings her around, and tosses her. Avatar got to her knees, but Ministry stomps her and hits a fistdrop. Ministry gives her a legdrop and gets a two-count. Avatar finally gets to her feet and hits a desperate STO. Avatar goes to the top turnbuckle, then comes off with a missle dropkick. Avatar wrestles Ministry down to the mat, and they perform a chain of moves with Avatar coming out on top. Avatar goes for an STF, but Ministry breaks free. Avatar gives Ministry a fantastic superkick that levels him an busts him open. Mr. Night looks to interfere, but the referee is in the way. This allows Rob Van Dam to hit the ring with a chair, toss it to Avatar, and nails her with the Van Daminator. RVD leaves the ring, and Ministry gets up. Night climbs down, and Ministry hits the Eternal Damnation to get the win!

Now I have something special for everyone who follows this diary. It's time for Imperial Games predictions! I've built official brackets and seeded the entire tournament. With the Qualifying Round complete, now it's time to see who can win it all!

 

Go here:

 

Imperial Games 2003

 

I even have a couple of prizes. First, whoever gets the most predictions right gets to pick the next contender for the IWF World Heavyweight Title at Mutually Assured Destruction in August. Second, if anyone manages to predict every single match right for a perfect bracket, the person who does so will be allowed to pick who beats Ministry for the IWF World Heavyweight Title at either Summer of War, Thunderstruck, or Slam Fest XVI (depending on what works for the storylines that are going at the time).

 

So with all that said, go! Predict! Try your best to win!

[DreamGoddessLindsey]

Dang, only one person put in predictions? Where my home boys and home girls at? Represent! Though it's too late to fill predictions now since the deadline has passed. Disappointing. I hope I still have readers.

Brandon Harwell gets on the mic and says that's one more down. He says he plans on doing exactly this to all of his opponents and puts them on notice that he's fighting to win, not as IWF Owner and President, but as a fighter.

Ministry is in his darkened room. He says he knows about Joey T's injured leg, and he plans to use that as a gate to destroying T. He is sickened by T's new positive attitude and he intends to squash it once and for all. He says nothing will stop him from putting T in that casket.

"Shooter" Sam Hart vs. Randy Orton

 

Sam Hart and Randy Orton lock up. Both of them have something to proove given that they've been given a ball to run with. They perform a chain of moves with Hart coming out on top with a hammerlock. Orton rolls through, reverses it, then shoves him off into the ropes. Orton sends Hart down with a shoulderblock, but then falls to a drop toe hold himself. Hart transitions into an STF, but Orton reaches the ropes after 10 seconds. Hart goes for the Ultimate Submission, but Orton escapes and throws Hart off. Orton hits a clothesline, then goes to the top turnbuckle and hits a powerful missile dropkick for a two-count. He pulls Hart up and tries to whip him into the ropes, but Hart reverses it. Hart goes for the Hart-Breaker, but Orton ducks and gives him a dropkick to the knee, knocking him down. Orton gets up and kicks Hart in the head, staggering him. Hart gets up, and Orton immediately hits the RKO for the win!

Randy Orton gets on the mic and says Brandon Harwell isn't the only one out here to proove something. He says he didn't start off very well in IWF, but after taking his time off and training hard, he's come back to shake the core of IWF and rid it of The Dark Warlords. If he happens to win Imperial Games in the process, well, that's icing on the cake.

Edgar Dunvegan and Kate Avatar vs. The Mega Powers

 

Kate Avatar starts out against Devon Storm, to the surprise of all. Storm thinks he's going to squash her, but she pulls several hit and run kicks that leave him trying to figure out her next move. Then Avatar makes the mistake of actually trying to suplex Storm, who reverses it into his own spike belly-to-belly suplex. Avatar is back up, and Storm tosses her with an exploder suplex. He picks her back up and gives her a cyclone suplex next. He still only gets a two-count. Storm pulls her to his team's corner, where he, Alex Dunvegan, and Rob Van Dam proceed to triple-team her. Avatar is quickly beaten bloody. RVD hits a Split Legged Moonsault, but Avatar kicks out! Alex gives her the Big Leg Drop, she kicks out again! Storm grabs her and goes for the Drop Off, but Avatar counters it with an STO. Both make hot tags, to Edgar and Alex, and Edgar comes in and actually cleans house. A missile dropkick sends Alex falling out of the ring, and an enzuigiri takes RVD down. Storm is trying to assault Avatar again, but Edgar grabs him and spikes him with a springboard bulldog. After some fighting, Avatar is back in the ring with Storm, looking for revenge. Avatar hits a series of kicks, but Storm shrugs them off. Alex and RVD circle the ring and take out Edgar, and Avatar falls victim to the Drop Off. Storm actually uses the ropes for leverage to make sure he gets the pin!
