in a ladder match for the IWO International
Title!
Shawn Kennedy - Fans, as a result of injuries sustained earlier in the evening, Blackbird 13 will be unable to compete this evening. Therefore, he forfeits this match, and it will be Diamond Mine and Cameron Dace for the IWO International Title!
Shawn Kennedy - This next match is a Ladder Match...
Shawn Kennedy - Introducing first, the challenger, [Cameron Dace steps out of the entrance area, the crowd boos, a fan holds a "Cameron Dace will lose!!" sign in front of the camera] Coming down the aisle, weighing 240 pounds, from Los Angeles, CA, the man you love to hate, Caaameeerooon Daaaceee!!!!!!!!!!!
[Cameron Dace walks to the ring.]
Shawn Kennedy: Making his way to the ring, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Standing 6'7" and weighting in at 295 lbs, he is the International Wrestling Organization International Champion, DIAMOND MINE!!!!!!!!
(The arena goes dark, and a hush of excitement comes over the crowd as "Awake" by Godsmack begins to play in the arena. After about twenty seconds, the jumbo tron begins to flash a white light in timming with the quitar beats. As the lyrics of the song kick in, the audience begins to sing along. "Wait another minute, can't you see what this thing has fucking done to me? I'm alive and still kickin', what you see I can't see and maybe you'll think before you speak. I'm alive, for you I'm awake, because of you I'm alive, told you I'm awake, swollowing you...." As the section finishes, the jumbo tron stops flashing and the lights in the arena come up and standing in the entrance way is Diamond Mine. Diamond Mine is wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt and his customary Blue Ica Oakleys. The IWO International Championship belt strapped around his waste as he stands in the entrance way for a few seconds. Diamond Mine begins to make his way towards the ring as the crowd continues to sing "Awake." "....Take another second, turn your back on me and make believe that your always happy. It's safe to say you're never alive, a big part of you has died and by the way, I hope your satisfied. I'm alive, for you I'm awake, because of you I'm alive, told you I'm awake, swollowing you. I'm alive, for you I'm awake, because of you I'm alive, told you I'm awake...." Diamond Mine reaches the ring, he removes the IWO International Championship belt from around his waste and raises it in the air as he climbs up the corner turnbuckle. He climbs back down and hands the championship belt over to Daniel Black. He then removes his T-shirt and throws it into the crowd. He stands in one of the corners and a stare down begins between the three Superstars. "Awake" fades out and Daniel Black begins to call for the bell to start the match but stops as the lights go out in the arena.)
Brian Richardson: What on earth is going on, can we not go one night without a power failure???
(The arena remains in darkeness until the Jumbo-Tron begins to show static, but then disappears into inky blackness in a couple seconds. The picture slowly fades into a dark setting, men in black robes and hoods over their heads. A tall and pale man wearing a black denim shirt with mirrored sunglasses hanging out of the pocket and his long raven colored hair tied back in a ponytail. He smiles at the camera and stops in his tracks, turning his body towards it, and leans back on the crates.)
Man: Greetings wrestlers and fans of the IWO. I know this comes as a shock to most of you, but when I heard my friend the IWO International Champion was facing off against Blackbird 13 and some other guy I've never heard of, I thought would say a few things. First to the fans of the IWO...my name is Thanatos. I am a Hall of Famer wherever I go and I am the founder of the Four Horsemen. Diamond Mine is one of the finest wrestlers that I have had the privilege to tag with, and he earned his title of Horseman through the hard work he has put forth.
(Thanatos grins and motions for the men to hurry up.)
Thanatos: But now I must turn my attention to the man who needs to get slapped upside the head for thinking he could be better than any Horseman. Blackbird 13, you should know better than that since you got your ass handed to you on many occasions by the least formidable incarnation of the Horsemen back in the PWF. Your group failed against the strongest incarnation of the Horsemen in the ACWF. Now you face one Horseman in a triple threat match...one quarter of that strongest incarnation. What makes you think you have a prayer to win? Diamond Mine will have to be one step ahead of you so you don't try to screw him out of his belt, and everyone who has watched you from the word go knows that you would do that kind of thing. You stand there, gawking at the Jumbo-Tron, wondering what in the hell you are going to do, and when you are done watching this message along with the millions of fans who tuned in, you will stand toe to toe with destiny...and that destiny will knock you flat on your ass as it has dozens of times before when you faced us. You have been weighed...you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.
(Thanatos chuckles. The men in the black robes continue to carry out different crates and Thanatos moves away from the camera, and it follows him around to a set of quarters down a large hallway.)
Thanatos: My next message is for those like Pagan who see this and fall into a jealous fit. I have been watching when I haven't been tending to my duties, and know that you could never drive me away from competing, but duty is the only thing that saves you from eating the poorly chosen words spoken when this federation was starting out. You might be younger, but the experienced and older man knows many ways to put a hurting on you...and you know it from the various losses you've been through because of me. I will not be back...though I know you'll call me a coward for saying so. You will learn what duty is someday...and hopefully that day will come soon.
(Thanatos comes to a room marked with his name on it and walks inside where his stuff remains.)
Thanatos: Consider yourselves privileged to have the last appearance of Thanatos on the show as I clear out my space here at the Horsemen Complex. I thought that would go to my last federation I wrestled with, but apparently I was fated to do one more before I clear out of here. Good luck tonight Diamond Mine, and may the gods have mercy on those sorry bastards who stand in your way tonight as you retain your title. So let it be written, so let it be done. None shall stand in your way!!!
(Thanatos leaves the room with the camera inside of it...focusing on the empty parts until it comes to a picture of Thanatos and Diamond Mine holding their belts up and clear case holding the outfit in the picture of Thanatos. The picture fades to black on the note that reads...For Diamond Mine...Thanks for the memories.)

(As Diamond Mines theme music starts to play he returns back to the ladder inthe middle of the ring and climbs it once more. As he gets to the top he thrusts the International title into the air and the Crowd cheers wildly for him....suddenly the lights in the arena quickly dim and fade out and the soundof a high voltage of live current runs through the PA system. After a fewseconds the aluminum frame of the Jumbotron ignites and is brightly lit up witha fully visible electric current tracing the whole thing....
Tim: We've seen this tonight, Commishioner 2K is on to anyone that has followedthe careers of Diamond Mine and Da Man 2000 you should have known this wouldcome about sonner or later. Its no secret that these guys have some of the baddest blood between each other than any other two men in the industry. Diamond Mine claims to be the man that ran DM2K out of the NEW where DM2K is a Hall ofFamer. At the time DM2K was rumored to be in a court battle for the attempted murder of Syco Steve Johnson durring a match at an NEW Pay-Per-View....
(DM2K emerges through a wall of white and gols pyros with his right hand a-blaze with electricity calmly hanging to his side. Diamond Mine stands atop the ladderwith the International title hanging in his hand. As he see's Da Man emerge fromthe pyros he drops the International title to the mat and locks his eyes on DaMan. DM2K pulls his platinum frame cartiers from his face and stares a holeright through Diamond Mines soul.)
Brian: Neither man has taken his eye off the other yet! You can tell from thelook in both of these competitors eyes that they have a seething hatred for each other that could melt steel.
("You Don't Know" By Jay-Z continues to play over the PA and Da Man points outto Diamond Mine with his left hand and out shoots that electrified dart. It cutsthe air like a bullet and attaches itself to the metal frame coverd by the apronbanner. Suddenly the four ring post ignite with electricity surrounding DiamondMine! Da Man slips his glasses back on over his infamous devilish grin and turnsaround to head back to the locker-room.)
