*"New Way To Live" by Alter Bridge hits as the crowd erupts with boos for the entering Jake Seven.*
Cross: "International Incident is starting off big with a match that has seen its interest grow exponentially over the past week."
Ventura: "This match could pave the way for Jake Seven to become General Manager for one show, and if he does well, who knows how the Ringmaster might reward him?"
Cross: "Jake Seven has been lobbying for the job for two months now. A win tonight will give him his dream job, even if it is just for one show."
*Jake Seven looks totally confident as he warns his detractors in the crowd to treat him better or risk his wrath when he's the General Manager.*
Stark: "From Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, weighing in at two-hundred and fifty-seven pounds, 'THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR' JAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEEEE SEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEENNNNNN!"
*Seven rolls under the bottom rope, then quickly pops up holding both arms high in the air to loud boos. After that display, he walks over to Jenny Stark and tells her something. She lifts her microphone back up.*
Stark: "And future General Manager of IWF!"
*This garners even more boos from the fans at ringside.*
Ventura: "It's a real possibility especially if Jordan takes a dive."
Cross: "That won't happen."
Ventura: "Even for a World Title match? I'd lose a match to Jake Seven for a chance to face MJW for the IWF World Title."
Cross: "The Faction hasn't won anything, yet, Jesse. No need to jump the gun."
Ventura: "The Faction's supremacy tonight is a sure thing. Count on it!"
*Seven's music cuts off, but the boos fill the silence until Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" hits. The crowd instantly starts cheering as "The Role Model" walks out onto the stage.*
Cross: "This match holds a lot for Anthony Jordan, too. A win in this match could effectively end his war with the Ringmaster and allow him to move up the ladder to a place he is more suited for."
Ventura: "And let him rework that minimum pay contract the Ringmaster duped him into signing."
Cross: "That was the catalyst for the war between those two."
Stark: "From Long Beach, Mississippi, USA, weighing in at two-hundred and twenty pounds, 'THE ROLE MODEL' ANTHHHHHHHONYYYYYYYYYYY JORRRRRRRRRRDAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!"
*Jordan hops up the steps and enters the ring. He stays on the opposite side of the ring away from Seven, but plays to the crowd nonetheless.*
Cross: "It's funny how all the bad blood from the Ringmaster and Anthony Jordan has spilled into this feud, but Jordan and Seven, despite the similarities they had a week or so ago, really do not get along."
Ventura: "Maybe they see each other as threats or maybe they feel IWF is only big enough for one hero."
*"Even Flow" cuts off, and the referee calls for the bell to begin the match. Jordan and Seven rush in for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie-up. Jordan wins it and puts Seven into a Side Headlock. Seven struggles, but it is to no avail as Jordan grabs his arm and shoots behind him in a Hammerlock. With Seven focusing on his left arm, Jordan puts his head under Seven's arm, releases the Hammerlock, and hits Seven with a Belly-to-Back Suplex. Seven rolls over on his stomach as he's grimacing in pain from the move. Jordan stays on the attack and reapplies the Hammerlock with Seven on the mat.*
Cross: "Aggressive strategy coming out the gate from Anthony Jordan. We haven't seen this from him in a while."
Ventura: "He needs to take a supremely conditioned competitor like Jake Seven seriously."
*Jake Seven struggles, but can't free himself from the hold. Getting back to a vertical base doesn't look promising, either. With his first two options appearing unlikely, Seven pulls himself to the bottom rope and drapes his free arm across it. This forces the referee to break the hold. Jordan is pushed back, but quickly rushes back to Seven once released. Jordan applies a Waistlock to the rising Seven and pulls him to his feet. Before "The Role Model" can try anything, Jake Seven swings his head back and catches Jordan in the face with a Headbutt. Jordan breaks the hold and turns away grabbing his face. Seven wastes no time in hitting Jordan in the back of the right knee with a chop block. Jordan goes down, and "The Sin City Superstar" pops up and begins stomping Jordan's right knee.*
Ventura: "Good thinking by Seven. He's showing some aggressiveness, too."
*After a few stomps, Seven pulls Jordan up and backs him into the ropes. Seven shoots Jordan across the ring. As Jordan comes back from the opposite ropes, Seven wraps his arms around him and throws him back with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Seven plays to the fans for a few seconds, getting loud boos, before going back to business. He picks Jordan back up and puts his head between his knees. Seven pulls Jordan up looking for a Piledriver, but Jordan smartly claps his legs together around Seven's head and is dropped back down. Jordan then scoops Seven's legs out from under him and looks for the Idolizer as the fans stand up and start cheering. Seven quickly wiggles his legs out from Jordan's arms and rolls out of the ring to thunderous boos.*
Cross: "You can't take a technician like Anthony Jordan lightly, and Jake Seven found out why."
Ventura: "But he got himself out of harms way. Jake just needs to calm down and establish control. He needs to get away from working the leg and stick with the back and neck like he was doing."
Cross: "Working on both wouldn't be a bad idea, if Seven can maintain control for that long. Seven is the bigger man, albeit not by much, and any give in Jordan's legs on maybe the Perfect Example or one of his other moves could save Seven."
Ventura: "Not being a big fan of Jordan's, I have to admit that Seven probably won't dominate long enough to do that much damage. I say focus on the back to set up his Suplex/Powerbomb finisher."
*Seven takes exception with a fan at ringside and talks some smack before snarling and turning back to the ring. Once he does, he has no time to react as Jordan catapults himself over the top rope and hits Seven with a Flying Body Press. The fans cheer the rare high-risk move as Jordan stands up and praises himself. Jordan stays on the attack and pulls Seven up to a standing position before putting his head under Jordan's left arm and pulling up. With Seven completely vertical, Jordan drops Seven neck-first on the apron in a modified Brainbuster. Seven then falls to the ground with a sickening thud, but isn't there long as Jordan rolls him into the ring and follows. Jordan makes the cover...
ONE
TWO
Kick-out! Seven gets his shoulder up as Jordan looks at the referee in shock, but decides not to argue. Jordan pulls Seven back up and lifts him vertical again. This time Jordan falls to a knee and lets Seven's back crash into his bended knee. Jordan executes Rectitude perfectly as Seven rolls over onto his stomach and clutches at his back.*
Cross: "Jordan's making the most out of his high-risk attempt. Seven looks to be in a ton of pain."
Ventura: "By hook or by crook, Seven needs to stop this onslaught. Jordan looks unleashed right now."
*Jordan covers again, but only gets a two. After the cover is broken, Seven rolls back onto his stomach as he's favoring his back. Jordan backs up into the corner and hops up to the middle rope. He sizes Seven up and dives off sending his right elbow into Seven's lower back. "The Sin City Superstar" yells out in pain as Jordan gets back up and delivers two hard stomps to the same area. Jordan pulls Seven to the ropes and runs to the opposite ropes. He somersaults and looks for Rolling Thunder, but Seven manages to scramble out of the way and into the corner. The fans boo, but Jordan continues after Seven. Seven shoots out and looks for a Clothesline, but Jordan ducks. He quickly turns around and pulls Seven's head back and hooks it under his left arm. Jordan lifts Seven up before quickly turning and sending his right arm into Seven's throat and driving him into the mat with the Jordan Twist. Jordan covers again...
ONE
TWO
TH...KICK-OUT! The fans boo as Jake Seven kicks out again. Jordan slaps the mat and tells the referee to count quicker.*
Cross: "I don't know if this is a result of his new lifestyle, but Jake Seven's reaction time seems to be slower tonight."
Ventura: "It could be, but Anthony Jordan has been aggressive tonight. Seven hasn't had time to breathe. He needs to get creative and do it soon."
*Jordan stands up and looks around the ring before signaling for the end. He pulls Seven up, but Seven falls back into the ropes. Jordan tries to pull him away, but Seven grips the top rope, which gains loud boos. The referee tries to break it up, but accidentally gets elbowed in the face by Jordan. The referee clutches his face and turns away from the action as Jordan pulls Seven away and bends him over to set up the Perfect Example. Jordan hooks Seven's right arm, but Seven fights to keep his left arm free and hits a low blow. Jordan falls to the mat as Seven stumbles up. He points to his head as the fans voice their anger. He picks Jordan up and lifts him vertical.*
Ventura: "That's getting creative, Jake!"
Cross: "Or lucky! Jake Seven should be disqualified!"
*With Jordan vertical, Seven swings Jordan's head forward and brings him down in a stiff Fallout Powerbomb The fans are going insane with their jeering as the referee finally turns around. However, due to the abuse he's taken, Seven falls back. With neither man in a pinning position, the referee starts the ten count.*
Cross: "What happens if we have a draw?"
Ventura: "I say Seven gets to run half a show in that case!"
*The referee gets to three as the fans try to cheer Jordan back. Jake Seven, however, has gotten enough of his wits back to sit up and thus be making the cover. The referee counts...
ONE
Ventura: "Jake might have it!"
TWO
Cross: "It can't end like this!"
THRE...KICK-OUT! The fans explode with cheers as Jordan gets his shoulder up at the last second.*
Ventura: "I think that was three! His hand hit the mat first!"
Cross: "No, it didn't, Jesse. The match continues."
Ventura: "But for how long? Jake Seven has the advantage now. He's shown that he can hit his finisher, and if he does it again, I think the match is over."
*Seven pulls himself up and holds up three fingers to the referee, but his query is dismissed. Seven decides to go back on the offensive as he lifts up Jordan's right leg and uses it to turn him over. Seven then pulls back on the leg and applies a Single Leg Boston Crab. Jordan screams out in pain as his somewhat sore knee and extremely sore back are being tortured in the hold. Seven wrenches back and yells for Jordan to give up. The referee asks, but Jordan shakes his head.*
Ventura: "Great move by Seven! A submission victory over Jordan would make him golden to the Ringmaster!"
*Jordan starts pulling himself to the ropes as the fans try to will him on. Jordan reaches out, but the bottom rope is still to far away. Seven sees his chances at a submission slipping away, so he wrenches back even more. Jordan screams loudly and starts wildly reaching for the rope. He's slapping the mat wildly. The referee seems unsure whether it is a sign of submission or desperation to break the hold. In one of his wild waves, Jordan hits the rope causing it to vibrate. It allows him to finally reach the rope, and the referee calls for Seven to release.*
Ventura: "Jordan tapped out! The referee just screwed Jake Seven!"
Cross: "I think he was reaching for the ropes!"
Ventura: "He tapped out!"
*Seven throws Jordan's leg down and furiously argues with the referee as the fans cheer loudly. Seeing that he can't win the disagreement, Seven goes back to "The Role Model." Seven picks Jordan up and hits an Inverted Atomic Drop. Seven quickly hooks Jordan's head in a Front-Facelock before falling back to hit a DDT. Seven makes the cover...
ONE
TWO
TH...KICK-OUT! Seven shoots the referee a nasty look as the fans go wild again.*
Cross: "Jake Seven is firmly in control now and has completely switched roles with Anthony Jordan. Now you wonder how far away victory is for Seven."
Ventura: "He should have already had it!"
*Seven pulls Jordan up again and hooks his right arm across Jordan's chest and over his left shoulder. Seven then reaches across Jordan's back with his left arm and locks his hands and swings Jordan down across his knee. Jordan yells out in pain, but is pulled back up as Seven maintains his grip. Seven then lets his left arm unhook and fall backwards hitting a Flatliner. Seven neglects going for a cover and simply holds his arms up in perceived victory, which the fans sorely detest.*
Ventura: "Way to keep focus, Jake! Finish him off!"
*With Jordan now on his back, Seven gives him a stiff slap across the face before pulling him up. Seven shoves Jordan's head under his left arm and lifts his vertical looking for his finisher again. This time, however, Jordan manages to find the energy to kick his legs free and land behind Seven facing away. Jordan quickly spins around and hooks Seven in a Waistlock. Before Seven can break it, Jordan throws him back with a Release German Suplex, which sends the fans into a frenzy.*
Cross: "Anthony Jordan needed a big move, and he hit one! Things now look a lot more even as Jake Seven got a reminder of how much his back has suffered in this match."
Ventura: "If Seven can get up quickly and resume control, he's still in good position to win!"
Cross: "Both men are worn down, but who will gut it out and win?"
*Seven starts stirring first around five of the referee's count. Jordan starts moving two seconds later as both men pull themselves up. Jordan stumbles into the corner as Seven steadies himself with the top rope. Seven walks along with the ropes to get his barings back, then notices Jordan in the corner. Seven sprints over looking for an elbow to the face, but Jordan leaves the corner and second before Seven can get there. Seven crashes into the corner and steps back out doubled-over in pain. Jordan sees an opportunity and double-underhooks Seven's arms and spins him around looking for the Perfect Example.*
Cross: "This could be it!"
*Jordan lifts up looking to plant Seven with his finisher as the fans stand in unison in cheer. Seven has other ideas, however, and kicks his legs to get enough momentum to flip over onto his feet. As Jordan stands back up, Seven pushes off on "The Role Model's" shoulders and lands on top of them. Seven rolls through looking for a Victory Roll, but Jordan falls to his knees to block with a pin!
ONE
TWO
THREE! Jordan releases Seven and falls to the mat point up in victory as "Even Flow" hits.*
Stark: "Your winner of the match, 'THE ROLE MODEL' ANTHONYYYYYYY JORRRRRRRDDDDDAAAAAANNNNNN!"
*The fans are going wild as Seven just lays face down knowing his chance for General Manager is gone.*
Cross: "What a counter! What a brilliant way to score the winning pinfall!"
Ventura: "Seven must have been wrestling this match under protest because he won it at least two times in my mind!"
Cross: "If you say so, but the record books will indicate otherwise!"
*Jordan rolls out of the ring as the referee follows him to raise his hand*
Cross: "The night starts off badly for the Faction! Is that a sign of things to come?"
Then the fans boo as the Ringmaster's music hits, and he walks down the ramp wearing his neckbrace. He leans on his cane, frowning at Seven before he calls for a mic.
He shakes his head, glaring at AJ before he speaks. "Hold it! I want to know who I assigned this official to this match? Because I didn't! And that means that since this was not the proper official?"
The Ringmaster smiled as the fans booed, and the referee protested as he held up the fuming AJ's hand again. "This match is null and void! And Anthony Jordan is Disqualified!"
Cross: "International Incident is starting off big with a match that has seen its interest grow exponentially over the past week."
Ventura: "This match could pave the way for Jake Seven to become General Manager for one show, and if he does well, who knows how the Ringmaster might reward him?"
