Jonny C: Thank God tonight is the second day and final night of Ice Crown. I will no longer have to sit next to you in a freezing cold arena pretending to care what you have to say Solace. At least the wrestling tonight will be amazing. I was blown away by night one and can't wait to see what happens here tonight. Solace Tatum: Literally 20 seconds. That’s a new record for you, Jonny, I mean, 30 seconds before plummeting to moral desolation is what I expected from you at the very least, but, as always, you surprise us all in the worst way. Jonny C: I like to keep things interesting. Also when it comes to you Solace 20 seconds is all anyone can take. Solace Tatum: Funny. Heard Curtis was conceived after just 11. Anyway!
We have a great card for you here tonight, starting with… Oh! And here
she comes now!
intro cut version of Battle Cry by Little V blasts through the PA system, bringing the fans to their feet as the lights go out in the arena. The song builds and builds, and as Little V’s first line echoes through the arena, a single spotlight hits the top of the ramp, revealing Ada Pierce standing, solid as a rock, with her head bowed down. With the fans cheering and freezing, Ada stands still, her eyes closed, taking in every single cheer from the crowd. It’s when the chorus begins when Ada raises her head, letting out all of her energy and adrenaline with a fiery battle cry before making her way down the ramp with purpose as the spotlight follows her to the ring. As her long blonde hair flows with the wind, Ada takes her time when she reaches the halfway point of the ramp, taking the opportunity to high-five and fist bump several fans. Donning a pair of black foot guards, her hands wrapped in white tape, Ada has seemingly slightly adjusted her ring-gear due to the freezing cold atmosphere of the Ice Crown Tournament. And while it may not have been wise to do so, Ada maintains her white karate gi, a symbol of her beginnings and fighting principles.No stranger to training in the freezing cold and burning heat, Ada doesn’t sweat the atmosphere in the arena. With a motivated and passionate expression on her face, the Karateka wastes no time climbing up to the apron before entering the ring. Pierce has no more time to waste. She’s here to leave everything she’s got in the ring. Awaiting her opponent, Ada sits cross-legged in the middle of the ring as the fans cheer her on. Solace Tatum: Ada Pierce has proven herself both in First Class as well as the Ice Crown Tournament so far, Jonny, but can she continue her momentum against… The Whyte Spyder? Jonny C: Look I will be honest here. I expected very little from you folk over at first class but I have to say I'm impressed. Especially by Ada she is giving it her all and really showing how good she is. Plus I'm loving her Karate pajama ring attire. Can Ada keep the momentum going against Wylde who is also proved to be a force here. We are about to find out. Solace Tatum: Okay, I asked you that same question and I literally knew that much. What time is it? Ugh. Jonny C: I don't have a crystal ball Solace, I'm not some kind of witch like that coven lot how the hell would I know if she can keep it up. We have to watch the match to find out Solace Tatum: When it comes to not having balls Jonny, I’m not surprised.
Arachnophilia hits the speakers and the lights dim to a purple hue. A spotlight hits the top of the stadium where Shawn is perched in a web. Strobes begin to flash and Shawn leaps towards the ring. A zip line carries him from the top of the Arena till he is roughly ten feet in the air and drops from the the line into the center of the ring and blasts of Pyro go off from the four corners. The polished armor he wears engraved with spider webs glimmers in the light. He runs to the ropes climbing to the middle raising both hands in the air and Shouting Woooh! as a pyro curtain showers behind him. Half of the Stadium Erupts as the fans respond by raising both arms back and responding with a deafening Woooh! He then slides out of the ring and begins unequipping the armor in preparation for the match. High fiving several fans up against the barricade then sliding back into the ring and perching himself in a squat on the top rope and awaiting his opponents.
Jonny C: Obviously
Solace Tatum: Oof. She didn’t expect that from Wylde, who, I must mention has a long career himself, somewhat of a vet in his own right, so Ada has to be on her Ps and Qs here in this match up. Jonny C: Wylde was waiting for the right moment to strike and he found it. He is a crafty little spider isn't he. Solace Vet or Rookie you should always mind your Ps and Qs in the ring. Solace Tatum: Oh, look, we agree on something again. Jonny C: Even a broken clock like you is right twice a day Solace Tatum: What? You want to get clocked? Keep it up and you’re about it. Jonny C: Mind this P. Let's get back to the action shall we? He doesn't waste a single moment, stomping down on the grounded Ada, who feels pain beginning to pulsate throughout her body as Shawn then lifts her up by the right arm, hoping to send her into the corner with an irish whip, however, Ada, using her ring awareness is able to counter it into a whip of her own, causing Wylde's body to connect hard before he is turned around by Ada, looking directly into her eyes as she delivers three shin kicks to his chest, pain racing through his body before she finishes off the series with a roundhouse kick to his head, causing him to fall forward and appear as if he was knocked out by the force of the kick. Force that is comparable to being hit by a car. Solace Tatum: My god! Did you hear that!?!? Jonny C: They heard that back in the states. This would be a good moment to discuss CTE if I believed that was a real thing. Ada then grabs his arms and sits him up, pulling back on them to apply a submission. Growling, Shaun shakes his head 'no' when asked if he wishes to submit by the referee as Ada drives her knee further into his back. After about 25 seconds, she releases the hold, before stepping back and awaiting him to rise so that she can knock him back down with a jumping thrust kick. At least, that is the intention, but instead, as she leaps into the air to deliver the kick - she is instead slammed into the mat with a spinebuster, followed up by a pointed elbow drop right to the sturnum of the now grounded karateka. Repositioning himself, Shawn then drops a knee across the head of Ada, who lets out a soft breath upon impact, before the masked superstar goes for the pin attempt. ...1… Solace Tatum: That’s not going to do it… Ada has proven to be resilient and endure a lot of punishment in her FC match history, I don’t know if Shawn has does his homework here. Jonny C: Wylde is looking to close it out early. He may not have done his homework because that's clearly not enough to putbAda down. Ada gets her shoulder up, causing a slight smirk to appear across Wylde's face before he hoists her up. This time sending her straight back down to the mat with a belly to belly suplex, before attempting another knee drop. This time, however, Ada has wisened up to it and as such, is able to roll out of the way in time. Hearing the cheers of the fans, Ada slowly but slowly makes her way back to her feet, glancing across at the already arisen Shawn, who attempts to charge at her. Only for a loud slapping sound ti be heard - Right as Shawn got into range, Ada swung her leg up and around, connecting with a vicious roundhouse kick. Shawn falls back first onto the mat as this time, Ada goes for the pin. ...1... ...2... … Solace Tatum: Three— NO! Jonny C: Not going to put Wylde away that easily. If he has fight left in him his body will instinctively kick out. Just as the referee's hand is about to hit the mat for the third and final time, Shawn is able to weakly lift his shoulder off the mat. Yet Ada simply stands up and looks out at the fans. Smiling as they cheer for the karateka and warrior of honor. She then drops Shawn back down to the mat with a savate kick the very moment he stands, though she picks him up and clasps his wrists. Nailing him with a jumping knee into spinning backfist combination before going for the pin once more. ...1... ...2… Solace Tatum: Could that be— NO!! Shawn Wylde is not giving up yet and Ada must not let herself become frustrated here. Shawn manages to get his shoulder up once more, before surprising Ada with a quick roll up attempt as she rises. ...1... ...2… Jonny C: Whats he thinking here. No one wins with a quick roll up like that. Wylde has got to be smarter than that right? Ada kicks her legs up and Shawn off her, somewhat stunned that he had managed to catch her off guard in that manner. Instantly rising, she watches with anticipation as Shawn rushes her, only to be stopped dead in his tracks by the K.O, which does indeed, knock him out. She then covers for the pin. Solace Tatum: FROM OUT OF NO WHERE!!!! She makes the pin!!! ...1... ...2... ...3... DING DING DING
Solace Tatum: I…don’t… control the bracket images, Jonny. That would be our graphics team, I don’t expect you to understand how MY side of things works, even though you sure as hell like to pretend you do. Jonny C: A trained monkey can understand your side of things. Aren't you like the 46th GM of FC? Solace Tatum: I rest my case. Anyway, what we have next is from the Eastern bracket… starting with Terry Marshall and IIW’s own Ethan Rivers… Jonny C: Terry took out Curtis and for that I thank him. The whole space ranger / suburban commando thing is a bit much but I guess it works for him. That being said he has an uphill battle here because Rivers is the real deal. Rivers has managed to make a great name for himself so far in the IIW. Solace Tatum: Can’t deny his talent… but the boy has an attitude problem.
Jonny C: Rivers is all business here. Looking good as always and ready for action. Solace Tatum: Hard to deny that, Jonny. Thunderstruck by AC/DC begins to play over the PA and even in their cold state the fans feel their blood and adrenaline start pumping as “Thundering” Terry Marshall steps out onto the entrance way. Marshall has a giant fur coat on, and he tosses it off revealing his massive arms in his cut off “Thuderamania” t-shirt. Marshall takes in the cheers of the crowd and mouths the words “thank you” and then points at the fans around the arena before pointing directly at the ring. Marshall marches to the ring, high fiving fans, shaking hands, and kissing babies. Once he makes it to the ring, Marshall climbs the steps and steps into the ring where he grabs his shirt and rips it off and throws it into the crowd where fans fight for it like desperate bridesmaids fight for the bouquet at a wedding. He turns to head into the ring but Rivers suddenly races over and drills Marshall in the face while the crowd jeers in disappointment as Marshall stumbles to the floor. Jonny C: Terry playing up to the fans and taking his eyes off his opponent. Not smart. Rivers steps back onto the apron and drops to the floor, grabbing hold of the stunned Marshall. He wrenches Marshall’s arm before throwing him with force into the ring post shoulder first. Marshall drops to the ground and holds his arm in pain before Rivers hits him in the back with a front drop kick, driving him into the post again. Rivers pulls Marshall up and rolls him back into the ring. Rivers follows and the ref calls for the bell to get the match officially started. Marshall gets back to his feet but Rivers is waiting and locks up the hurt arm. He hits a quick arm trap STO on Marshall and goes for a cover. 1…
Kick out by Marshall! Jonny C: Rivers keeping the pressure on Terry but not enough to put away a competitor of his caliber. Rivers stalks towards Marshall while he scrambles back and pulls himself up with the ropes. He uses a foot and pushes off the ropes, looking for a clothesline but Rivers ducks out of the way. Marshall races forward and bounces off the ropes, roaring back towards Rivers. He tries to grab him but Marshall spins into a head scissors takedown but Rivers reverses it and goes for a tilt a whirl backbreaker. As they’re spinning, Marshall somehow counters into a swinging DDT out of nowhere to the delight of the fans. Jonny C: That's Terry's years of experience showing through right there. Solace Tatum: Our IIW polls indicate Terry is, in fact, a favorite to win this thing. The two men both start to get back up around the same time. Rivers loads up and goes for a spinning elbow but Marshall manages to block it. He goes for a spinning heel back elbow but Rivers blocks that right back. The two lock up and Rivers manages to gain the upper hand as Marshall seems to be in pain with his damaged arm. Rivers twists and then pulls him into a side headlock. Marshall wraps his huge arms around Rivers’ waist and tries for a back suplex but Rivers pushes his feet off the mat and uses the momentum to flip up and over Marshall. Rivers lands behind Marshall and immediately hits a standing drop kick to his back. Marshall stumbles forward and crashes into the corner. Rivers goes to the opposite corner and then runs full tilt at Marshall. He leaps and goes for a running drop kick but Marshall dives out of the way at the last second. Rivers crashes and burns while Marshall stands back up and lines him up. Rivers gets up and Marshall fires off a big boot but Rivers rolls underneath and then jumps up and cracks Marshall in the face with a beautiful pele kick. He quickly hooks the leg.

Solace Tatum: That was so close! Jonny C: Almost had him there. Marshall gets a shoulder up just in time! Rivers gets back to his feet and right away heads to the corner. He climbs up to the top rope while Marshall is still down. Rivers leaps off with a moonsault but Marshall rolls out of the way in time and Rivers slams onto the mat. Marshall pulls himself up and climbs to the top rope now. Marshall dives off with a big double axe handle but it’s Rivers getting out of the way this time. Marshall manages to land on his feet while Rivers fires off a super kick. Marshall attempts a block but it’s with his hurt arm so he drops to a knee. Marshall tries to get up while Rivers uses the ropes and slingshots himself. Rivers attempts a flying drop kick but Marshall just manages to side step it. Rivers hits the mat and Marshall hits him with a leg drop across the back of the neck. Marshall gets back up and once again heads back to the top rope. Rivers starts to pull himself up slowly and Marshall slaps a thigh and leaps from the top rope with a diving fame asser. Rivers suddenly counters it into a sit down powerbomb out of nowhere and goes for the pin.
2… 3…NO!!! Jonny C: How much more can Terry take? He is spending more time on his back than you looking for a promotion Solace. Solace Tatum: I don’t know what that means, but I’m absolutely positive it was nonsensical. Marshall just barely gets a shoulder up as Rivers throws his hands up in frustration. Both men remain down for a moment as the crowd begins to cheer Marshall on to get up. He stirs and then begins to get up while Rivers slowly rolls over and reaches for the ropes. Marshall comes over and tries to pull him up but Rivers shoves him off. He goes for a quick clothesline but Rivers blocks it and Marshall cries out in pain as it is his injured arm again. Rivers takes advantage and hits a side headlock takedown before transitioning into an arm bar. Marshall begins to struggle right away as Rivers keeps the submission locked in tightly. Jonny C: This is getting to be too much. We are watching an assault on an elderly man. Solace Tatum: They call that Elder Abuse. You should know. Marshall roars in pain while the fans desperately try to rally him out of the hold. Rivers yells for him to quit but instead Marshall begins to slowly fight his way into a kneeling position. Rivers wisely keeps one shoulder raised to avoid a count while keeping the arm bar locked in. Marshall screams in pain while somehow lifting Rivers up and then slamming them both to the mat with a modified one arm power bomb. This finally breaks the hold as Rivers is stunned. Marshall rolls around holding his arm in agony. Jonny C: Solace, have someone throw in the towel. He could die here. Solace Tatum: I’m literally a commentator. Rivers rolls himself to the ropes and starts pulling himself back up. Marshall is back to his feet but his one arm hangs a little lower than the other while he winces in pain. He screams out and runs at Rivers. He goes for a big boot but Rivers grabs the top rope and yanks it down. Marshall stumbles over the ropes and out onto the apron. He grabs the ropes to avoid dropping to the floor. Rivers goes to hit him with a back elbow but Marshall ducks then pulls Rivers out onto the apron with him. They trade shots before Rivers grabs the injured arm, wraps it through the middle rope and then drops to the floor. Marshall cries out before falling to the floor while Rivers stomps on him a few times. The referee yells at them to get back into the ring but Rivers ignores and picks Marshall up. He tries to throw him into the ring steps but Marshall reverses it and sends Rivers crashing into the nasty steel steps instead. With both men down the referee finally starts a count…

Jonny C: For Terry Marshall I'm glad this is over but I call bullshit
A DOUBLE COUNT OUT. Shenanigans at its finest. Neither man will be happy
with this outcome and frankly neither am I.
The sound of strings is heard and then the song How Do You Sleep by John Lennon hits. Edda Wilcox comes walking out through the entrance way flanked by her manager Grimjack. Edda is wearing her battle jacket that has the initials IIW on the back amongst other patches of her favorite bands and sayings. Grimjack is wearing a large brown fur coat to help protect him from the cold temperatures and wind. Edda walks down the ramp slapping hands with the fans as Grimjack follows behind. She slides into the ring and bounces back and forth between the ropes getting used to them. She says a silent prayer to herself that no one can hear as she waits for the arrival of her opponent.

Wilcox goes down, Capello immediately stands Wilcox up grabbing her by the head hitting a fisherman's suplex. Capello keeps the leg hooked making the pin. The ref slides down to make the count. 1..KICKOUT Jonny C: Way too early for a pin attempt here. Solace Tatum: I’ve seen matches end quicker than that!

Jonny C: Cap is pulling out all the stops. That looked nasty. Wilcox has to be having a hard time breathing. Solace Tatum: Capello is truly a monster. Wilcox goes down hard holding her neck. Capello slowly rolls back into the ring. Capello stands up picking up Wilcox. Capello spins Wilcox then grabs her by the waist hitting a German suplex. She holds on rolling back to her feet then hits another German suplex. Again she holds on rolling back to her feet then hits yet another picture perfect German suplex. Jonny C: German Suplex Judgment, or three amigos either way perfectly executed and a real game changer. She immediately let's go rolls on top of Wilcox making the pin. 1...2...KICKOUT Capello is beside herself. She is glaring at the ref holding up 3 fingers.

She swings hard, connecting with a huge left to the temple of Wilcox. Jonny C: The Jab!!!!!! Wilcox crumbles to the ground and Capello quickly makes the cover. 1...2...3 Jonny C: Cap did it. That damn left hand of hers. She is moving on to the finals. The intro cut version of Battle Cry by Little V blasts through the PA system, bringing the fans to their feet as the lights go out in the arena. The song builds and builds, and as Little V’s first line echoes through the arena, a single spotlight hits the top of the ramp, revealing Ada Pierce standing, solid as a rock, with her head bowed down.

With a motivated and passionate expression on her face, the Karateka wastes no time climbing up to the apron before entering the ring. Pierce has no more time to waste. She’s here to leave everything she’s got in the ring. Awaiting her opponent, Ada sits cross-legged in the middle of the ring as the fans cheer her on. Jonny C: Time to see what Ada is made of. She will need to dig deep if she has any hope of getting past Frost here. Frost charges across the ring looking to start things off with a huge clothesline. Ada judo rolls under it hoping up and throwing a spinning heel kick but Frost is able to maneuver out of the way. Frost again charges at Ada and goes for a big boot but Ada drops into a back handspring forcing Frost to miss. Ada stands up jumps , throwing a kick over her own head connecting with Frost's head. A huge Pele kick. Jonny C: Frost looking to capitalize early but Ada is showing no signs of fatigue. Frost goes down but is able to get back to her feet rather quickly but Ada is waiting. Ada begins firing off lefts and rights to the body of Frost. Frost stumbles back hitting the ropes then comes off hard with another clothesline attempt this time connecting in a big way. Ada crashes to the mat but rolls backwards getting back up to her feet immediately. Frost stays on Ada with punches causing Ada to back into the corner. Frost holds her palm up then brings it down to the chest of Ada. Ada screams out. Frost does it 2 more times. Jonny C: I love a good chop. Listen to that beautiful sound Frost then kicks Ada in the gut causing her to drop down in the corner. Frost runs to the other side of the ring and charges at Frost throwing a boot to the skull but Ada quickly slides under the bottom rope causing Frost to miss and crash into the turnbuckle.

Frost climbs to the top rope then dives off attempting to hit a splash but Ada gets her knees up. Frost grabs her stomach and rolls off. Jonny C: Not to sound cliche but going off the top rope is always high risk high reward. Solace Tatum: But you do cliche so well, Jonny! But, you are correct… 50/50 on that kind of decision. Both women are down. Frost uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet but Ada has also gotten to her feet. Frost throws a punch hitting Ada in the jaw. She stumbles but manages to return the blow.

She backs into the corner taunting Frost to stand up. Frost gets to her feet and Ada takes off jumping in the air looking for a superman punch but Frost is able to side step than jump around the back of Ada hitting a tornado DDT.

Jonny C: That's got to be it. It's over here Ada is done. Solace Tatum: The pin attempt… this could be it! 1...2...KICKOUT Jonny C: Jesus how does Ada have anything left. Solace Tatum: I know Ada very well, and I can tell you that she will NEVER give up. Frost rolls off Ada onto her back looking up at the roof of the arena. She lays motionless for a moment then kips up. Frost calls for Bridled rage then picks up Ada. Frost lifts Ada but Ada slips out of the hold landing on her feet. She throws a huge jab then turns around and hits a HUGE HEEL KICK. K.O she immediately makes the cover. 1...2...3 Jonny C: WOW Ada managed to avoid Bridled rage and was able to counter with K.O I would say that was pure luck but with Ada you never truly know if it was all instinctive or luck. Either way, Ada moves on to the finals. Solace Tatum: Amazing! We have one side of our brackets complete and it’s Ada Pierce! We will be giving the fans and audience a ten minute break to give Ada a chance to catch her breath before going into the final match of our two night event!! Stay tuned!
The time has come for the final bout of the historic Ice Crown Tournament. With the IIW faithful waiting with bated breath, it’s long before the intro cut version of Battle Cry by Little V blasts through the PA system, bringing the fans to their feet as the lights go out in the arena. The song builds and builds, and as Little V’s first line echoes through the arena, a single spotlight hits the top of the ramp, revealing Ada Pierce standing, solid as a rock, with her head bowed down. With the fans cheering and freezing, Ada stands still, her eyes closed, taking in every single cheer from the crowd. It’s when the chorus begins when Ada raises her head, letting out all of her energy and adrenaline with a fiery battle cry before making her way down the ramp with purpose as the spotlight follows her to the ring. As her long blonde hair flows with the wind, Ada takes her time when she reaches the halfway point of the ramp, taking the opportunity to high-five and fist bump several fans. Donning a pair of black foot guards, her hands wrapped in white tape, Ada has seemingly slightly adjusted her ring-gear due to the freezing cold atmosphere of the Ice Crown Tournament. And while it may not have been wise to do so, Ada maintains her white karate gi, a symbol of her beginnings and fighting principles.No stranger to training in the freezing cold and burning heat, Ada doesn’t sweat the atmosphere in the arena. With a motivated and passionate expression on her face, the Karateka wastes no time climbing up to the apron before entering the ring. Pierce has no more time to waste. She’s here to leave everything she’s got in the ring. Awaiting her opponent, Ada sits cross-legged in the middle of the ring as the fans cheer her on. Realizing that this is her final entrance for the tournament, Ada takes a moment to scan the packed arena, a smile forming across her face as she sits in the middle of the ring. She has gone through an icy hell to make it this far, and with the fans cheering and chanting her name, she feels herself growing numb to the pain in her body. Jonny C: Before you have a chance Solace let me tell everyone who has been watching that this is Ada's third match tonight and she has been through hell. This is Capello's second match therefore making her the fresher of the two. Will that come into play? Who knows. Solace Tatum: Wow. I couldn’t have said that better myself. Such a talent, you are, Jonny. Everyone is so impressed. What you AREN’T saying is… both women… are resident on First Class, and that alone should tell YOU especially, just who in this tournament has survived and let me clue you in, they aren’t on your roster! Jonny C: Seeing as most of my roster wasn't on the card that's not saying too much is it. You had Curtis yeah some representative he is. Solace Tatum: Let’s not take away anything from our females here, Jonny, they still managed to weather legends and super talents from other places as well as what we did have from Mayhem’s side of things. Jonny C: They have definitely done that. I would never take that away from either woman. Solace Tatum: And there go the lights… As the Left Hand theme song blares through the PA System, Alessia Capello walks through the curtains, wading through a cloud of blood-red smoke atop the stage as she sports her usual black singlet, a blood-red palm symbol over her Heart as she stops at the ramp raising her Left Hand, drinking in the crowd’s hate. With little care for the fans in attendance, Alessia licks her lips as we pan over none other than Robin Vengeance, Shawn Wylde’s protege and the woman Alessia has corrupted and recruited to her cause. We see Vengeance holding the very same black package Capello revealed during her “Sermon of Love” that contained a blackened replica of Ada Pierce’s signature Karate Gi, topped off with the Left Hand’s symbol on the back of the Uwagi. Satisfied, Alessia takes deep breaths as clouds form from the near-freezing temperature before she begins stomping to the ring, stopping as she approaches the apron, followed closely by Robin Vengeance. We cut to a shot behind Alessia, revealing Ada Pierce sat in the middle of the ring, staring a hole through Capello for daring to bring the insulting “gift” with her to the ring, forcing a woman she corrupted to do so as well... But Ada’s angered face only serves to satisfy Capello as she smirks, happy to see her mind games working perfectly. As Robin places the package below the nearest bottom turnbuckle, Alessia rolls under the bottom rope before once again raising her Left Hand, closing her eyes as the fans shower her with loud boos while Vengeance follows suit, raising her Left Hand. Finally, Alessia turns around as Ada rises up to her feet. Jonny C: Capello would bring back up out to the ring. Solace Tatum: Just when I thought we dissolved the malicious female groups in FC, Left Hand is another promising situation. Can’t seem to escape this stable, no matter what organization I’m a part of. The bell sounds, prompting Ada and Alessia to begin stomping their way to the centre of the ring. Ada is ready, in her signature Karate stance, but Alessia, shockingly, is the one to give off a harmless vibe, simply smiling in her opponent’s visibly enraged face as they’re inches away from standing nose-to-nose as we see the mere inch’s worth of height advantage for Ada Pierce, but it’s Alessia Capello’s 20 lbs weight advantage that dwarfs her opponent. The fans voice their support for Ada as time stands still in the ring with both competitors simply staring in each other’s eyes. As we watch them confront each other, Alessia appears to be speaking to Ada, but the loud crowd drowns her words out. Ada, against her better judgment, appears to let her guard down as Alessia’s Cheshire Cat-like smile grows wider. Confused, the fans cheer for Pierce to attack, but the proud Karateka holds back. After placing her right arm on the fellow finalist’s shoulder, Alessia slowly raises her Left Hand, proudly displaying it to Ada Pierce as the fans loudly boo this gesture. Jonny C: We all have hands Capello you're not special. Solace Tatum: And I think we all know what you do with yours. Jonny C: Yup hold up titles Solace. Offended by Capello’s audacity to try and corrupt her in the biggest match of her life, Ada snaps, suddenly re-entering her Karate stance before throwing out vicious strikes aimed at Capello’s powerful body. Alessia brings her arms up, attempting to block as many of Ada’s strikes as she can, but the Karateka wills herself to exert her energy into overwhelming her conniving rival. Straight lefts, rights, mixed in with the occasional side kicks to Capello’s mid-section, the possessed Ada succeeds in backing her opponent all the way against the turnbuckles in the corner as Robin shouts at Alessia from ringside to get a hold of herself. With Capello stunned in the corner, the referee forces himself between the two combatants, prompting Ada to turn away before letting out a battle cry as the crowd explodes with loud cheers for their heroine. While the referee checks on Alessia, Ada turns her attention to Robin Vengeance, the two women staring at each other before Ada points directly at Alessia’s new ally, no doubt reiterating what she said to Robin’s mentor, Shawn Wylde; she *will* force Robin to see the light after this tournament. Solace Tatum: There’s a lot of tension here, the stakes are high, but it seems there’s more to this story building up behind just the finals of the Ice Crown Tournament. I mean, these women share locker rooms already so there is no telling how these circumstances will change their dynamic. Jonny C: Ada is showing everyone she isn't scared of The left hand. Angered by Ada daring to address her ally without her permission, Alessia explodes out of the corner, rushing past him before lifting Ada with ease! Desperately, Ada rains heavy elbows down on Capello, but they seemingly do no damage as Alessia finally sends Pierce flying through the air before her back brutally collides against the turnbuckles in the opposite corner. The Karateka lets out an audible and pained cry as Alessia stomps her way to her opponent. Letting out a battle cry of her own, Alessia, with anger coursing through her veins, winds her left hand back, no doubt looking to end things early. Ada realizes this, her eyes widening as her life flashes before eyes as she instinctively ducks underneath her opponent before Alessia’s fist smashes the top turnbuckle, causing it to explode as the top rope unbuckles due to the turnbuckle’s aforementioned explosion! Solace Tatum: I won’t go as far as crediting Ada’s multiple matches thus far because even coming out fresh, I don’t think Ada or anyone for that matter is able to prepare for an Alessia Capello. The sheer size alone is enough to intimidate even the men of IIW. Jonny C: That's one of the most wild things I have ever seen. The power Capello has is absolutely mind boggling. Having avoided certain doom, Ada crawls away, going under Alessia’s legs before stopping in the middle of the ring to collect herself. Capello turns around, giving major Terminator-Esque vibes as she gives no signs that punching a hole through the turnbuckle hurt her in any way, her eyes piercing a hole through Ada. Suddenly, with no warning, Capello rushes in, prompting Ada to desperately crawl back against the other corner, keeping her eyes on Alessia throwing wild lefts and rights that fail to connect. Realizing she’s running out of canvas, Ada shoots her right foot at the incoming Capello’s stomach, the powerful woman’s momentum causing her to fly over the downed Ada before crashing back-first against the opposite corner’s set of turnbuckles. Solace Tatum: That’s sure to hurt… This is more of a brawl than a wrestling contest. Jonny C: Air Capello…...Yes these women are trying to kill one and other. Solace Tatum: Can this match even continue? Jonny C: It can and will. The real question is can the ring handle it? Solace Tatum: No, I mean legally! Without a top rope, I’m not sure if this match can literally continue! Jonny C: You can be the one to tell them it's off Solace I'm not getting in the middle of them. Solace Tatum: I think I’ll let the referee decide…
Solace Tatum: See!? This is what I’m talking about! Not a single ounce of respect for this tournament… We have made it almost the entire two nights without this kind of bullshit!
Solace Tatum: Normally, I would give Ada a helping hand… Now it’s considered a conflict of interest, but I don’t think I can sit here and just let this happen. Jonny C: I would gladly turn a blind eye to it. Just make sure you give her a helping right hand OK. The referee is none the wiser, having realized he can’t fix the top turnbuckle by himself, he calls for assistance before a nearby stagehand climbs up to the apron to help him. Ada, meanwhile, is still fighting to stay conscious as Robin chokes the life out of her, and to make matters worse, Capello has recovered, back on her feet, wasting no time as she stomps down hard on Ada’s stomach. Robin finally releases Ada as a light bulb goes off above Alessia’s head. She reaches down before pulling Ada’s black belt off, this act of disrespect inviting in further ire from the crowd. Not satisfied yet, with the black belt in her left hand, she begins to forcefully tear Ada’s Uwagi off, finally succeeding, spitting on it before tossing it outside the ring as the fans angrily shower her with more boos. Jonny C: Look I'm not a karate guy. Once I hit like 10 years old I felt like I was over it. Buttttttttttt Ada will not take kindly to someone disrespecting her Gi like that. That's a uniform and belt she worked her ass off to earn. Solace Tatum: Absolutely disgusting actions here tonight… I’m having a real tough time watching this, Jonny.
Jonny C: HOW IS THIS BEING ALLOWED. This is fast becoming a fucking snuff flim. Solace Tatum: Just wait until we get to First Class. Some things are going to be changing. Believe that. Jonny C: Maybe I will make my First Class debut to make sure that happens. Solace Tatum: Oh, you don’t think I’ll be able to handle it myself? Jonny C: Nope not one bit. Solace Tatum: Listen, you little shit. Before the new year, Robin’s record was 0-11… and Alessia Capello? I haven’t faced her, but I’m not afraid to stand to ANYONE, including YOU. Jonny C: Would seem I struck a nerve there didn't I? Let the hate flow through you Solace. Fortunately, the referee finally turns around with the turnbuckle almost fixed, leaving the IIW crew member to finish tying it in place. Disturbed by what he sees, he quickly rushes over to Alessia, who senses him coming as she releases her grip over the black belt, leaving the purple-faced Ada to crash and burn on the concrete next to Robin Vengeance. With the referee drilling Capello with questions, demanding to know what she was doing to her opponent, Robin Vengeance realizes that another golden opportunity has presented itself to her. Wasting little time, Robin grabs the torn black belt, wrapping it around Ada’s neck once more before lifting her up, forcing her over the barricade, planting her foot on it as she cranks back, choking Ada again as the fans in the front row angrily yell at the referee to stop this heinous assault on the Karateka. Fortunately, and despite Alessia’s attempt at keeping his attention on her, the referee walks past Capello before screaming at Robin Vengeance, startling her as she releases Ada Pierce. Robin innocently throws her hands up, insisting she totally wasn’t just trying to end Pierce’s life, but the referee doesn’t have it. In an act that brings the fans to their feet out of joy, the referee ejects Robin Vengeance from ringside! Solace Tatum: Good! Get that little b-.. Get Robin out of here! Jonny C: ITS ABOUT TIME. I know the referee's in IIW are the shits but that guy deserves a raise. Solace Tatum: The question is… Can Ada still scrape up enough to somehow win this match? Jonny C: Was it over when the Germans bombed pearl harbor. HELL NO. Ada has to rally; she can't go out like this. Solace Tatum: Clearly your history needs some work, but as far as tonight, we are MAKING history! Jonny C: Ada better make history and go super saiyan right now and beat the hell of Capello. Vengeance angrily protests the referee’s decision as Capello does the same in the ring, insisting that there was zero foul play going on, but the ref refuses to listen as ringside security begin backing Robin away from the ring, forcing her up the ramp. We cut to Ada Pierce resting her head on the barricade, and despite the brutal punishment she’s endured, a wide smile has formed on her face, realizing that she finally has Alessia Capello all to herself. No interference. No shenanigans. A straight-up one-on-one fight to end this tournament. With the fans patting Ada on the back, empowering her to stay in this fight, Alessia, seeing red after her ally’s ejection, stomps out of the ring, rolling underneath the bottom ropes on her way to return her opponent back to the ring. Suddenly, with no warning, Ada FLIES off the barricade, tackling Alessia down to the ground before unloading with a vicious flurry of lefts and rights directed at the Left Hand member’s skull!!! Solace Tatum: ALESSIA TAKES A NASTY SHOT RIGHT TO THE HEAD! Ada is NOT out of this thing yet! Jonny C: I don't know how she is able to stand let alone unleash attacks like that. Ada is a God damn machine. Solace Tatum: She is a PILLAR of the First Class brand! Jonny C: A pillar that Capello tried to topple. Solace Tatum: TRIED. Jonny C: That's the key word yes. Ada pops back up to her feet, driven purely by adrenaline as she lets out another bloodcurdling battle cry. As Alessia questions which reality she’s in at the moment after Ada’s uncontrolled, rage-fueled punches, she finds herself lifted to her feet and forced back into the ring as Ada chases after her. Capello instinctively returns to her feet, attempting to shake off the effects of Ada’s attack, but upon turning around, she’s treated to a flurry of kicks personally delivered by the Karateka. With her opponent desperately trying to block the kicks, Ada succeeds in landing her signature “Ten Hit String”, alternating between left and right kicks to Alessia’s sides, slowly forcing her against the corner with the recently-fixed top turnbuckle, and as the fans’ cheers crescendo to one final explosive pop as Pierce winds back for the “K.O.!” Spinning Heel Kick, looking to end things early, Capello, with ease, grabs Ada’s leg out of the air, deflating the fans. Ada’s eyes widen, shocked by Alessia’s insanely fast recovery. Displaying her unbelievable strength, Capello manages to walk Ada back to the centre of the ring while maintaining her grip over her opponent’s leg before lifting her up and straight-up flinging her across the ring before Pierce’s spine collides with the turnbuckles in the opposite corner! Solace Tatum: Ada really has her work cut out for her here. Jonny C: Capello may have been fighting dirty but she definitely has the ability to stand toe to toe with Ada. Both women are giving it their all here. The Karateka’s legs give out as she nearly collapses to the mat, instinctively grabbing the nearby ropes to help her land on her knees. Filled with rage, Ada’s pained face gives way to the visible anger as she stumbles back up to her feet, almost drunkenly throwing a wild strike at Capello’s face that is, again, easily dodged. After losing her balance thanks to the missed strike, Pierce desperately turns around in hopes of blocking whatever her opponent has in store for her, but Capello’s foot nearly blows a hole through Ada’s chest as the Olympian lands a sickening Big Boot that sends Pierce flying to the opposite end of the ring, crashing down on her back. As the fans shower her with boos, Capello could not possibly care any less as she smirks, approaching Ada before reaching down, grabbing her opponent’s left foot before ripping the foot guard off as she harshly drags her back to the middle of the ring before going for an early pin attempt, shoving her forearm across the Karateka’s face. Solace Tatum: First pin of the match… One… Solace Tatum: Not going to do it! As Ada breathes as heavily as she can, having exerted more energy than she would’ve liked to kick out of the pinning predicament, Capello is quick to shove her opponent, flipping her over on her stomach. With a sadistic smile on her face, Alessia harshly pulls Ada’s exposed left foot up as she returns to her feet before wrenching in a nasty Ankle Lock! Panicked, Ada cries out in pain, desperately reaching out for the ropes to no avail as she finds herself in the middle of the ring. The referee does his job, asking Ada if she wants to give up, but the defiant Karateka furiously shakes her head, refusing to let her dream end here as Capello’s smile grows wider, continuing to twist her opponent’s foot. After what feels like an eternity, Ada somehow, someway, manages to crawl her way over to the ropes, digging her fingernails into the mat before lunging forward, succeeding in grabbing the ropes, forcing a break. Capello, however, knows the rule book, keeping the Ankle Lock locked in until the count of four before tossing Ada’s foot away as the referee scolds her for her actions. Jonny C: Cap took the extra few seconds to make sure Ada felt every bit of that Ankle lock. Solace Tatum: Alessia surely wants this just as bad as Ada, but what truly stands out is her pure brutality… but after the assault from Robin, it's frankly amazing Ada is still fighting with her full heLock. Jonny C: Alessia is doing literally everything she can to put Ada away. You're right though Ada's running on pure heart right now. Solace Tatum: Wow. Surprised you gave me credit for being right about something! Does Jonny C have a heart too? Jonny C: Even the Grinch showed heart once in a while. Knowing that she has to dig deep and turn the tides as fast as possible, Ada grabs the ropes, beginning to pull herself up to her feet. Capello, knowing exactly what Pierce is capable of, wastes no time, rushing her like a shark smelling blood in the ocean, but all she gets for her impatience is a kick to the jaw courtesy of the Karateka as the crowd goes wild for what may be the start of a comeback. Stumbling away, the kick seemingly angers Alessia more than it hurts her as she stops in the centre of the ring, slowly raising her head, staring a hole through the Karateka. Knowing the kind of imminent danger she’s in, Pierce opts to wait for Capello to allow her emotions to get the better of her as she rises back up. As expected, Alessia wildly rushes Ada, allowing the Karateka to duck under the incoming clothesline as Capello’s thick arm passes over her skull. Continuing her sprint to the ropes, Alessia gives chase, looking to clothesline Pierce out of the ring before the unthinkable happens. For the first time ever, Ada leaps up into the air, planting her feet on the top ropes before bouncing off them, back-flipping over her opponent as the fans’ jaws drop. Taken aback, all Capello can do is look up as Ada’s hand comes crashing down on her skull, almost splitting it in half with a brutal Springboard Karate Chop! Solace Tatum: My god! We almost had TWO Capellos! Jonny C: That's some crouching tiger hidden dragon shit right there. Solace Tatum: Just think about it, Jonny… Ada is used to putting that hand through layers of concrete, she applied that same technique right to Capello’s forehead!
Solace Tatum: Okay, morbid. With both women on the mat, breathing heavily, the fans are brought to their feet as they applaud both competitors for giving it their all to walk away with the coveted Ice Crown. Ada is the first to stir, now crawling to the corner. But as she looks back at Capello, who she expects to be on the ground, the Karateka’s eyes bulge out when she sees her opponent back up, on her knees as blood leaks from a small yet noticeable cut on her forehead, visibly enraged by Ada’s insolence. And while Ada is taken aback, she has been angered herself, defiantly taunting and challenging Alessia to bring it on as the fans audibly back her up. With both women on their knees, yelling obscenities from across the ring, they slowly return to their feet before suddenly lunging at each other as they begin exchanging vicious forearms to each other’s heads! Solace Tatum: Ada is not backing down! She has brought the monster to bleed out from that vicious overhand strike! Jonny C: I honestly don't know how either one of these women are still standing. Solace Tatum: This is the ice crown, baby!
Solace Tatum: That might have been Ada’s window of opportunity… can Ada find a way to get back in a place of advantage? Jonny C: My gut says no but my heart says HELL YEAH Having been properly flattened, the referee collapses to the mat, motionlessly lying there as Capello covers her mouth with her hand, shocked by what she just did. But she realizes that she can’t worry about the referee now as she notices Ada’s absence, having slipped out in the confusion. Turning around, Capello is sent flying, crashing against the corner as Ada Pierce lands her Shotgun Dropkick: “The Winged Karateka”! On her knees, Capello stumbles back up, fighting through the pain, her endurance isn’t rewarded. Dazed but on her feet, Alessia’s head is nearly kicked off as Ada FINALLY lands the “K.O.!” Spinning Heel Kick!!! Hitting the mat like a sack of potatoes, Capello is seemingly knocked out as Ada Pierce hooks the inside leg for her first pin attempt thus far… but there is no conscious referee to count the pin. Frustrated, Ada releases Alessia’s leg as she instinctively kicks out in what many argue could’ve been a 2.9 count. The Karateka weakly crawls to the referee, slowly rising to her feet… before the lights go out. Moments pass as several flashes can be seen in the crowd, wondering what exactly is going on until… the lights come back on, revealing none other than Mercedes-Jane Debonair standing in the middle of the ring behind the clueless Ada Pierce, armed with a kendo stick in her hand!!! Solace Tatum: This bitch… Jonny C: I thought she died, or was handled or something. Who's side is she on? I feel like I have an idea. Solace Tatum: What the f- why is this b- What is Mercedes doing here now!? Ada is being handed a shit hand tonight and it’s not right! Jonny C: Is that a shit LEFT HAND?? Turning around, Ada Pierce’s exposed stomach turns red after Mercedes violently whips her in the mid-section with the kendo stick, causing it to shatter as Pierce doubles over, crying out in pain. With the referee still down, Mercedes harshly pulls Ada by the hair before positioning her for the “No Mercy” finishing manoeuvre as the crowd violently boos this turn of events. Mercedes looks down at Ada’s barely conscious face, caressing her before brutally smashing her down with a sickening Swinging Reverse STO! With Pierce laid out flat on her stomach, Mercedes turns her attention to the now-conscious Alessia Capello, staring into her eyes as Alessia stares back with confusion. With her work done, Mercedes crawls out of the ring, shooting a wink at Solace Tatum on commentary before hopping over the barricade, escaping from the scene of the crime. Solace Tatum: That’s IT! Jonny C: What are you doing? Solace rips off her commentary headphones and makes her way around Jonny C who sits beside her. Jonny C stands up grabbing the arm of Solace stopping her from running to the ring. Jonny C: You can't run down there and get involved. Remember the whole conflict of interest thing we talked about earlier. You're the boss now not a wrestler. Alessia violently shakes the referee back to life, shouting at him to count the pin as she quickly flips Ada Pierce over on her stomach, mounting her for the pin as the referee crawls over. With a huge shit-eating grin on her face, Alessia looks down on the seemingly defeated Ada Pierce, piefacing her for good measure as the referee slowly and painfully counts what may be the final pin attempt of the night… Solace Tatum: Not like this!
Two… Thre– KICKOUT!!! Solace Tatum: IT’S NOT OVER!! ADA’S STILL IN IT! Jonny C: How no one knows but she is and it's absolutely amazing to see. Her fighting spirit is through the roof. The screen zooms in on Alessia’s face, her eyes on the verge of popping out of their sockets as she cannot believe that Ada Pierce had the strength, the audacity to kick out. Crawling off of Pierce, Capello starts angrily slamming her fist on the mat, screaming her lungs out at the referee. Looking back on Ada, she cannot believe what she’s seeing as Pierce somehow crawls to the ropes, hoping to make it to them and assist herself back up. With her options running out, Capello realizes that Ada must be broken mentally before she can be broken physically. With time on her side, Alessia finally makes her way to the black box Robin Vengeance had brought earlier on, quickly unwrapping it before pulling out what we assumed to be in there: a black Karate Gi, the blood-red left hand symbol etched on the back with “Pierce” in white text written underneath the Left Hand’s logo. Alessia licks her lips as she turns around, stalking the barely-conscious Ada Pierce on the mat. Harshly pulling her up to her feet by the hair, Capello wraps Ada up with the Black Gi, almost as if doing so to protect her from the freezing cold environment, before wrapping an arm around the Karateka’s waist. Capello raises her left arm in the air, proudly displaying her Left Hand before lowering it with a thumbs down, preparing to personally deliver Ada Pierce’s “Judgment”. Interlocking her fingers together, Alessia scoops Ada up, pulling her back for the German Suplex… but Ada flips out of it, landing on her feet as the crowd goes wild! On her back, Alessia desperately pops back to her feet, quickly turning around to see an enraged Ada seemingly going for a low kick, prompting Capello to block low… but Ada fakes her out, spinning around, landing the “K.O.!’!!!!! Alessia’s legs give out as she finally collapses with Ada collapsing right on top of her as the referee makes the count!!! Solace Tatum: K.O!!! K.O!!!! SHE HITS IT! SHE HITS CAPELLO WITH THE K.O!!!
Two… THREE!!! Solace Tatum: She did it!! She did it!! Ada Pierce wins the Ice Crown Tournament!!!! Jonny C: HOLY SHIT. Ada overcame every single thing Capello threw at her and somehow managed to win the whole damn thing. The crowd explodes with the loudest pop of the night, going wild as the intro-cut version of Battle Cry by Little V blasts through the arena courtesy of the PA System. Ada crawls off of Alessia’s unconscious form, on her knees, her head on the mat as she covers up, no doubt overcome with emotion as the ring announcer’s voice echoes in the arena. “Here is your winner… and ICE QUEEN OF IIW… ADA… PIEEEEEEEERCEE!!!” Ada finally raises her head to reveal her face covered in tears as she lets out five months worth of emotion, crying her heart out after finally realizing her true potential. Five months of torture, mental and physical anguish finally pay off for Pierce as she weakly struggles to return to her feet, showered with love by the fans in attendance. All Ada can do is bow to the fans as we pan out to reveal the sold-out arena, the fans on their feet for their Ice Queen as her tears continue to flow. Solace Tatum: Welp, can’t call it a conflict of interest now… Nice working with ya, Jonny. Removing her headset, Solace Tatum leaves the commentary table before retrieving the Ice Crown from the ring announcer. The emotional Tatum makes her way up the steel steps in the corner as Alessia Capello rolls out of the ring, leaving Ada standing in the middle of the ring, nursing her stomach as she watches Solace enter the ring. With pride in her eyes, Solace presents the Ice Crown to Ada Pierce… but Ada suddenly pulls Solace in close, wrapping her arms around her as she tightly hugs her, prompting Solace to close her eyes as she hugs Ada right back with her free arm, whispering a few words in the Karateka’s ear. When Ada Pierce was nothing but an unknown rookie in the world of professional wrestling, it was Solace Tatum’s performance in the 2021 Queen of the Ring tournament that inspired her to keep on fighting. When Ada was alone, lost in the shuffle in First Class, targeted by Mercedes-Jane Debonair, it was Solace Tatum that picked her up and protected her from having her career ended prematurely. And when Solace Tatum was betrayed by Jolie Vexx, it was Ada Pierce that fought alongside her to end Jolie and Mercedes’ injustice. Coming full circle, Solace Tatum proudly places the Ice Crown on Ada’s head before they hug once again as the fans applaud the two women. As the two celebrate, a still bleeding Capello comes to, standing up in the corner of the ring to see the GM of FC celebrating with Ada Pierce. She walks over, pulling Solace’s shoulder around and shoving her. Jonny C: What a sore loser Capello is. She just can't handle the fact that she got her ass kicked. Solace is the boss and you can't treat her like that even if I really want to see it. Solace tries to keep her composure, but Alessia pushes her again, this time, pushing Solace to the ground. Jonny C: This is going too far now. Solace, get up and do something. Robin now returns to the ring, sliding in and stands next to Capello. Ada tries to help Solace up but Solace insists on standing up herself, gazing at both Robin and Capello with fire in her eyes, and a finger pointed at her face. Ada attempts to hold Solace back so she doesn’t give in to her frustrations and potentially cost her the GM spot she just won. Jonny C: Ada let her go. Who cares about the ramifications of this all. Robin pushes Ada’s shoulder into Solace, but Ada continues to protect Solace from the two Left Hand members. Solace, having enough of whatever Capello is saying, pushes past Ada and shoves Robin down to the ground, Capello grabs Solace’s throat, Ada tries to pry Alessia’s grip off of Solace’s neck. Jonny C: That's is I have seen more than enough of this. Someone needs to step in. Jonny stands up throwing his headset off then runs down to the ring sliding under the ropes. He shoves Capello off of Solace and stands next to a now standing Ada. He calls for a microphone. Jonny C: As much as I want to see Solace take a beating I'm the only one allowed to give her the business. You lost its over now, now walk away before Ada and I make it so you will never walk again. Capello thinks about it, but smiles as Robin stands up again. They
smirk in a sinister way that leaves everyone expecting their next move
to be a violent one, but instead, they back up and exit the ring. They
walk away slowly, peering back every so often to smirk at the trio in
the ring, but the three give them no attention. Ada and Jonny help Solace
up from her knee to recover, and as Jonny begins to exit the ring, Solace
holds his shoulder to make him turn to her. She mouths “Thanks, Partner”
before he hints at a smirk, but blows it off before turning and climbing
out of the ring. Solace then turns to Ada and holds her arm up again,
ending the Ice Crown Tournament on a positive note.
