Before the show…..
The screen opens to Freddy & Angelica arriving to the arena. As Angelica heads inside, Detrick arrives to the arena and meets with Freddy.
Detrick: Well, Freddy. Tonight's the night.
Freddy: Yeah…
Detrick: How you feelin'
Freddy: I'll admit. I didn't think I'd ever see this day coming. Especially when we went our separate ways.
Detrick: Yeah, but I kinda wish we did this a long time ago.
Freddy: No time like the present, right?
Detrick: Yeah.
Freddy and Detrick chuckles. Detrick pats his brother on the shoulder with a grin on his face.
Detrick: Which is why I wanted to show you something. Follow me.
Freddy is confused as Detrick leads him to the side of the building. Freddy stops and stares in shock while Detrick simply grins in excitement.
Freddy: No way…
Detrick: Oh yeah, man.
Freddy: You can't be serious. Where did you-
Detrick: What? You'd think they get rid of it? Nah, they gave it to me, and I kept it for a special occasion like tonight.
Freddy: I...I don't even know what to say….
Detrick: Don't worry about it, hermano. Let's just win those titles. Juntos!
Freddy: Juntos!
The two wrapped their arms around each other's neck as the screen fades to black.
….
….
…..
….It's time.
Running Up That Hill (by PLACEBO) starts to play, and the view cuts to a large, beautiful gate in the distance. A soft spoken narrator spoke as if he was writing down what he was saying.
It's time to begin the journey….
Several roster looks out into the distance from different places.
The road...back to Immortality…..
(It doesn't hurt me)
(You wanna feel how it feels)
(You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me)
(You wanna hear about the deal I'm making)
(You...You & Me)
Across the world, different members of the roster looks over the horizon. Across the different horizon, the roster sees the same large, holy gates.
It's a path full of glory and fame….
(And if I only could,)
(I'd make a deal with God,)
(And I'd get him to swap our places,)
A video package plays featuring highlights of the first Immortality.
It is where one is forever engraved in history….
(Be running up that road,)
(Be running up that hill,)
(Be running up that building.)
(If I only could, oh….)
We now see more highlights of Immortality, and a closer look at all of the winners. But the highlights suddenly fades
But the path itself...is built with the blood of those who perished along the way….
(Instrumentals)
…..I sometimes wonder "Is it worth it?"
As the video fades, everyone competing tonight looks on at the road...and at the gates at the end of that road. Multiple thoughts rushed through everyone's mind.
The pain…
"UWA is dead & buried. Tonight, I make sure Anthony Dre ends up the same way." -Seth
"Tonight isn't about my career or about the UWA. Tonight is about teaching that punk to never cross Anthony Dre!" -Anthony
The agony….
"Tonight, I make sure Nyx fully realizes what it means to be Tranquillo." -Katie
"Little Katie will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Tranquillo will die tonight, and that dome will be her resting place!" -Nyx
The chaos….
"Tonight, I will become ICW Women's Champion! And no one, not friend or foe, will stop me!" -Natalia
"Angelica took something from me, and I am going to get it back. If the other two will try to stop me, then I'll kick their teeth down their throats!" -Carson
"People have been getting in my way too many times now. Best believe I will break all of them!" -Brianna
"I am the ICW Women's Champion! I am the face of ICW! And tonight, I will make every woman bow before the American Princess!" -Angelica
The blood…..
"Furno, boy. You cannot beat me. You will never beat me! And I will paint the entire ring with your blood!" -Genocide
"Genocide, I will beat you within an inch of your life tonight. I will make sure every bone in your body is broken. And I will personally leave you for dead in that ring and take back what is mine!" -Furno
It weighs me down…
(And if I only could,)
(I'd make a deal with God,)
(And I'd get him to swap our places,)
….Pushes me over the edge…
(Be running up that road,)
And it's driving me insane!
(Be running up that hill,)
...But it must be done.
(With no problems.)
It is the price to pay to walk the road….
(And if I only could,)
(I'd make a deal with God,)
(And I'd get him to swap our places,)
I ...no, we must make this journey.
(Be running up that road,)
The path is now clear….
(Be running up that hill,)
Tonight, we take the first step...back to Immortality!
(With no problems.)
...….
..….
…..
..…Hopefully, it'll all work out in the end.
After that, Are You Ready (by Disturbed) plays, and the screen zooms through what appears to be a portal. The colors began going from a calm blue before changing to a burning red, all while a narrator says: "And now, the WFA proudly presents:ICW Overload!"
Soon, a flash of white blinds the screen, it cuts to the arena, and pyro went off all around the stage! The lights cuts on, and shows the crowd cheering, and ready for the show! It also cuts to the large, steel dome hovering over the ring. The screen soon transitions to the announce table.
Jazz: We are on the path, once again, to Immortality! And that path begins tonight, at ICW's fourth PPV of the season: OVERLOAD! I am Jazz Conway, and joining me, as always, is Jay Masters!
Jay: The end is near, Jazz. And it all starts tonight! I don't even know where to begin with this show!
Jazz: It is a stacked show. We have a Barbed Wire Deathmatch, the debut of the Thundercage of all things, a Fatal Four Way, and several high profile title matches! But nothing could shock us more than what transpired on the previous episode!
Jay: In what was suppose to be a simple little contract signing for tonight, Ben Jones, the once reigning champion, lost his Heavyweight Title to the Will Ralston after refusing to wait for Overload! Just saying that is still mental to me!
Jazz: Because of that turn of events, Will Ralston will be out later tonight to search for an opponent for Immortality 2! It's gonna be a memorable night, and a way to start the path back to Immortality!
The lights suddenly turns off, and radio chatter is heard while the spotlights shine everywhere on stage. After a brief pause, a female soldier says:
Release the Hounds! I repeat, RELEASE THE HOUNDS!
Redesign Rebuild Reclaim (by Downstait) starts to play for a brief while, the spotlights go crazy then dim altogether. The lights come back on and Ajax & Raptor walks out to a loud pop! They head down through the crowd and jump over the barricade. They enter the ring to put their fists together in the air.
"The following contest is the Finals of the ICW Tag Team Tournament! Introducing first, representing The New Shield, at a total combined weight of 496 lbs: AJAX & RAPTOR REIGNS!"
Jazz: And right now, we're gonna kick this show off with the finals of the Tag Team Tournament! The winner of this match will become #1 Contender's for the tag titles at Immortality 2! Ajax & Raptor have been outstanding in the tournament, running through E.R.S and defeating a game KNA!
Jay: I'll admit, Ajax & Raptor have been on a warpath since feuding with The Cobra Club. This is the best way to remind everyone that they are the best tag team: by running through their opponents! I have these guys winning.
Chrome Hearts began to play, and the crowd started to cheer. The arena comes up a neon glow as the screen soon shows a burst of neon colors beating to the music. The duo walks out and heads to the ring, high fiving the crowd and clapping to the music. When they get to the side of the ring, they climb to the top rope and looks over the cheering crowd..
"Introducing their opponents, at a total combined weight of 341 lbs: 'Derrick and Devin Wayne' THE WAYNE BROS!"
Jazz: The Wayne Bros have had quite the run in this tournament! They beat Monarchy's DJ & Dylan in an intense first round match and outlasted the Nation of Violence to make it here! Now, they quite possibly face their toughest opponents thus far!
Jay: I get everyone loves The Waynes, but Ajax & Raptor are going to chew them up and spit them out! Their little fairy tail run is going to end right before our eyes by The New Shield!
As the twins hops down, they came face-to-face with Ajax & Raptor. The two teams stared each other down as the lights returned to normal. After the ref sent them to their corners, Devin and Raptor steps onto the apron, leaving Derrick and Ajax to start off.
Jazz: This is the Finals of the Tag Team Tournament! Whoever wins will be going to Immortality 2!
The bell rings, and the crowd was 50/50 for teams. Derrick and Ajax looked as chants of "Let's go Wayne Bros" and "Let's go New Shield!" filled the arena. All of a sudden, Derrick runs over and his Ajax with a Bicycle Kick! Ajax struggled to stand back up, and Derrick was extremely aggressive by kicking him in his chest over again! He tries to whip Ajax to the ropes, but "The Ghost Fox" counters and sends him to the ropes instead. Derrick rebounds and hits the Tilt-a-Whirl DDT! Ajax rolls over and tags Raptor in. "The Samoan Bad Boy" charges after Derrick, but a Snap Rana sends him to a corner. From the apron, Devin hits an Enziguri to Raptor, knocking him back a bit. Derrick connects with a Springboard Roundhouse of his own then tags in his brother. With Raptor stunned, the Wayne Bros went for a Double Handspring into the Back Elbow. But Raptor ran past them, and the twins land on their feet. Raptor ran the ropes, and The Waynes countered the Spear with Double Arm Drags. They backflipped and hits Reigns with Dual Dropkicks for the cover.

Raptor immediately tossed Devin off of him. But he was still shaken up. Devin goes to pick him up, but "The Samoan Bad Boy" lifts him into the air and tosses him out to the floor! Derrick leaps in the ring and charges after him. But Reigns scoops up and tosses Derrick onto his brother on the outside.

Reigns rolls out, and The New Shield grabs Derrick & whips him into the barricade! Ajax sees Devin trying to get up, and he slams his face onto the apron. Ajax yells for Raptor to take Devin out.

They both hop on the apron and, with Raptor prone, The Waynes connects with Double Springboard 450s! With the crowd still on fire, The Waynes went for the double pin.
1...2 KICKOUT!
Raptor once again shoves both guys off of him. But the Waynes were not to be deterred. After Devin tags Derrick, they Double Clothesline him to the floor and then sees him and Ajax on opposite sides of the ring. They stood opposite of each other, and attempted the Cross Slash (Running Asai Moonsault from opposite direction). But when they leaped onto the corner, Ajax & Raptor cut them off by catching them on the corner! The New Shield then Powerbombs the brothers ONTO THE FLOOR! The crowd gave a loud shock as Derrick & Devin laid practically lifeless! But "The Young Hounds of Justice" weren't done yet. Raptor lifts Devin onto his shoulders and Lawn Darts him into the ringpost while Ajax lifts Derrick up and Buckle Bombs him into the barricade! Even that wasn't good enough for the duo, so they grab the Waynes and cleared off the announce table! Then, they lay Devin down on it and Raptor climbs onto the apron. He let out his howl, Ajax lifts Derrick to his shoulders, and they connect with the Assisted Super Powerbomb off the apron, slamming Derrick onto Devin and RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE!

Raptor rolls in, tags Ajax, and "The Ghost Fox" connects with the Phantom Pain (Springboard Blockbuster)! He went for the cover.
1...2..KICKOUT!
Derrick barely managed to kick out, but Ajax was extremely annoyed nonetheless. He drags his opponent and slams him against his corner! Ajax repeatedly stomps down at his ribs until Derrick was slumped against the corner. Ajax steps back a bit. Doing the finger gun taunt, he charges after Derrick. But the older Wayne brother elbows Ajax in the jaw, knocking him back. He elbows Raptor, knocking him back, and kicks Ajax in the face. He goes back & forth on hitting both guys before running the ropes. Unfortunately, Raptor clotheslined him right back down! Ajax tags Reigns back in, and "The Samoan Bad Boy" hoists Derrick up and Fallaway Slams him right into the corner! Reigns looks down at Derrick before tossing him to the center of the ring.

Raptor then hoists him up and connects with the Moment of Silence (Belly-to-Back Side Slam)! Instead of going for the cover, Reigns tags in Ajax, and they stood on opposite sides of the ring. "The Young Hounds" soon connect with a SuperKick/Chop Block combo, then the easy cover.
1...2...KICKOUT!
Even though the crowd cheered for Derrick, Ajax immediately applied his submission: Fade to Black (Kirifuda Clutch)! Derrick was close to fading, but the cheers and chants from the crowd kept him conscious. Derrick rolls on his stomach and tries to stand up, but Ajax releases the hold and tosses Derrick into the lower ring post! Ajax tags Raptor, who hops down the apron. He runs around the ring...and SPEARS a recovering Devin back down to the floor! Now the crowd were split 25/75 in favor of the Waynes, but Raptor didn't care one bit. After taking Devin out again, he runs over to Derrick and hits the Drive-by, bouncing his head off the ring post! Raptor slid back in and drags Derrick across the ring. He tags Ajax back in, and then sets up for The New Shield's finisher: Stomp The Yard (Elevated Wheelbarrow Hold into the Curb Stomp).

1...2...thre-BREAK-UP!
Ajax broke up the pin with the Avada Kerdava! He was still loopy from the Detonation, so he had trouble keeping his balance. This allows Derrick to run in and connect with the Face Paint (Springboard Tornado DDT)! He slid out of the ring and back to his corner just in time for Devin to tag him in. Derrick sees Raptor getting up, and knocks him back down with the Apron Roll into the Famouser! Derrick pulls himself to the top rope and stood up high!

"Here are your winners: THE WAYNE BROS!"
Jazz: THEY DID IT! In spectacular fashion, the Wayne Bros have just defeated The New Shield! They have won the tag team tournament and are going to Immortality 2!
Jay: Holy hell that was admittedly amazing, Jazz! I might have to agree with you that the Waynes did it in one hell of a war!
The crowd were on their feet applauding the match and the four guys in it! Derrick and Devin collapsed in exhaustion, but were so very happy nonetheless. They slowly stood up and raised their hands in victory! They soon motioned to themselves, claiming they were going to be the next tag team champions.
Jazz: Derrick & Devin now set their sight onto Immortality 2, and hopefully winning the tag titles! Now, the question is will they face The Fortress or Freddy & Detrick?
Jay: Whoever it is will have a smooth ride at Immortality 2.
Jazz: We'll just have to find out later tonight when they go head-to-head for the tag titles. But coming up next, we have the International Title match between Jason Malice & Chris Blade!
On the titantron, it showed Malice in jagged red and black lettering that fades out to show "The Dark Savior". Behold The Wicked Child (by Iced Earth) plays as the lights flicker on and off. Soon, Malice is kneeled down at the top of the entrance ramp with fog all around him & red lights, making the fog glow red. Jason then stands up and makes a cutting motion across his throat, causing a wall of fire to explode behind him. He walks down the ramp holding a black baseball bat that had carvings of a scorpion, a bat, and a raven. When he is in the ring he stands on the second turnbuckle with his arms spread open and then either points his bat to the crowd.
"The following contest scheduled for one fall...is for the ICW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, from New Orleans, Louisiana, standing 6'1" & weighing in at 237 lbs: 'The Fallen One' JASON MALICE!"
Jay: Alright Jazz, let's be real here: Malice is a weird guy. But what he's saying makes a lot of sense. Chris Blade is slowly but surely falling apart. And if there's anyone I can see putting Blade out of his misery, it's "The Dark Savior!"
Jazz: Malice is a...unique and dangerous individual. However, he's making a big mistake in underestimating the International Champion.
As Malice paces in the ring, Unusual Habit (by Silent Partner) starts to play, and Chris Blade comes walking down the ramp. He looks up at the ceiling and smiles then runs into the ring and put one foot on the top rope. While the other foot is on the second rope, he raises up both arms & crossed them.
"Introducing his opponent, from Newark, New Jersey, standing 6ft tall & weighing in at 218 lbs: 'The Silver Bullet of Pro Wrestling' CHRIS BLADE!"
Jazz: Chris Blade has been unstoppable since debuting and winning the International title, but people such as Malice have been questioning Blade's endurance.
Jay: Chris is a fine champion, but he's breaking down right in front of everyone's eyes! This might be the time where Blade finally loses, especially to a guy like Malice!
The crowd was already tired, so there weren't many chants for these two out of the gate. Chris and Jason stared down in the corner, Malice with a sinister smirk on his face. The bell rings, and they began to circle around each other. A lock up follows, and Blade applies the Arm Twist to his back. Malice turns to his side and goes for the Snapmare, but Blade lands on his feet. And stares down Malice. "I'm not gonna shatter" Blade said. Jason got up, smirking at Blade, but remained silent. They pace around each other again, and went into a second lock up. This time, Malice applies a Soda Twist and grabs Chris from behind. As Blade goes to break free, Jason lifts him up and aggressively slams him to the canvas. He then follows up with a Stiff Kick the champion directly in his ribs. Blade clutches his ribs and rolled to the corner. Malice crouches down near him, and motions the breaking sign. Blade looked irate, and stood back up while Malice stood up as well. They got into a Collar & Elbow, and Blade performs a Headlock into the Takedown. Even though Blade kept his hold, Malice still manages to pull himself back to his feet. He shoves Chris to the ropes and whips him across the ring. Blade rebounds and hits a Hurricanrana to Malice. Jason got back up, and a Dropkick from Chris knocks him into the corner. Chris kept his composure, and charges towards him. Unfortunately, Malice pops out of the corner and connects with the Sudden Death Superkick, turning Blade inside out!
The crowd watches as Jason paced back & forth, watching Chris recovering. When Chris pulled himself up, Jason chops him HARD in the chest! The crowd lets out a "WHOOO" as Chris grabs his chest. However, Blade angrily shoves him back and delivers a chop of his own! The crowd "WHOOOs" again, and Malice simply chuckles. He gave another loud chop, and Chris stumbles back to the ropes. He rebounds and delivers another chop! The two simply trades multiple loud chops, until Chris surprised Malice with his signature Bone Deletion (Jumping Knee Strike)! Jason collapses against the ropes, and Chris clotheslined him out of the ring! Jason crashes into the barricade, so Chris ran the ropes. Malice slid out of the way, so the champion leaps over the ropes and lands on the apron. This allows "The Dark Savior" the chance to hit the Sudden Death Superkick to his legs! Chris crashes to the apron, and "The Dark Savior" grabs him in the Wheelbarrow. He SLAMS him into the barricade three times, and follows up with the Wheelbarrow German Suplex to the floor with a loud "THUD!" Jason got up and looks down at Chris groaning in pain. So he drags the champ, leans him against the corner, and delivers another thunderous Knife Edge Chop! Blade grabs his chest, which turned red, and Malice rolls him back in the ring. As Jason steps back in, Chris tries pulling himself up. But Malice pulls him by his hair, and goes for a another Chop! But Chris ducks it and runs the ropes. Blade attempts the Sunset Flip, but Malice catches him on his shoulders and Powerbombs him onto his knee! Blade collapses and Malice went for the pin.
1...2 KICKOUT!
When Blade kicked out, Malice simply chuckled and lifted him by his hair. Chris tries fighting back with punches and kicks, but Jason simply shrugged them off and Forearms him hard in the face! Chris collapses against the ropes once more, and Jason charges after him! But Blade dodges him, tosses Malice against the ropes, and hits a Snap German Suplex! Jason stumbles back up, and Chris runs and hits a Shotgun Dropkick which sends him into the corner! Malice stumbles out of the ring, and took a moment to recover. But Chris was fast to act, and ran the ropes before hitting the Sasuke Special! The crowd cheered, and Blade rolls Jason back in the ring. He slides on the apron, leaps to the top rope, and hits an Asai Moonsault into the cover!
1...2 KICKOUT!
Chris picks Jason up and attempts the Exploder Suplex. However, Malice elbows him in the face and knocks Chris back. He stumbles to the corner, and Jason charges towards him. Chris went for a Back Body Drop, but "The Dark Savior" held upside down, shifts his body, and hits a Backstabber which flips Chris across the ring! Blade clutches his back in pain and agony, and Malice lifts him up for a German Suplex! "The Silver Bullet" rolls to the corner as Malice stood up. He holds Blade up by his neck, and chops him in the chest! He keeps Blade in place and chops him over and over again! Blade pushes him back and delivered rapid fire chops to his chest & face as well! "The Dark Savior" cuts him off by kneeing him in the ribs. He Irish Whips him to a corner and Jason charges after him. Chris bounces off the corner, leaps over Malice, runs the ropes, and connects with the Slingblade! Blade got the crowd amped up, and went for the Handspring. Unfortunately, Jason runs over and hits a Roundhouse to his stomach again, causing him to crash down! Chris clutches his ribs, and Malice lifts him up and connects with the Pumphandle Death Valley Driver into the cover!
1….2...KICKOUT!
The crowd was growing louder, and Malice was growing more annoyed at Blade kicking out! He pulls Chris by his hair, and ran him down! "You're time is over, Blade!" he said. "Stay down, or I will permanently put you down!" At that moment, Chris pops back up with a Step-Up Enziguri, knocking Jason back! Malice recovers, however, and goes for the Sudden Death Superkick! But at the same time, Blade counters with his own Superkick he calls Sweet Blade Music! Malice was stunned, and Blade went hits a Northern Lights Suplex! He flows over and deadlifted into a Vertical! But Malice knees Blade, lands on his feet, and connects with his signature Impaler DDT! Malice went for the cover!
1...2...KICKOUT!
Jason's smirk quickly faded as he sat there, stunned at Blade staying alive! He lifts the champion up and went for a Package Piledriver! But Blade manages to lift Malice over his shoulders! He calls for the Chain of Memories (Torture Rack Neckbreaker), but Malice elbows Chris in his face and lands behind him! He shoves Blade to the ropes, so "The Silver Bullet" went for a Springboard Moonsault...only to eat the Sudden Death Super Kick OUT OF MIDAIR! The crowd lets out an audible shock, and Malice looks as Blade lays unconscious! He picks him up and hits another Sudden Death Superkick, knocking Blade to his knees! Jason holds Blade up, perform the cutthroat motion, and went for his finisher: Laid to Rest (set up like an inverted DDT and dropped down like a piledriver)! He lifts Chris up from the Inverted DDT, but Blade lands behind him and does the O'Connor Roll into the bridging cover!
1...2...3!
"Here is your winner...and STILL ICW International Champion: CHRIS BLADE!"
Jazz: Woah! Chris Blade just outlasted Jason Malice and retained his title!
Jay: So it would seem... I don't even know how he pulls it out!
The crowd popped at the sudden finish! Blade was stunned that he even came out victorious! Malice was somewhat surprised, but kept a blank expression. "The Dark Savior" stood up and grabs the title from the referee. He turns to face Blade, stared at the title, and hands it to him. He helps Chris up, and stared him down. "You're title reign will come to an end very soon." Jason said, then left the ring and left Blade bewildered.
Jazz: Chris may have won, but I think this bout against Malice might have gotten in his head.
Jay: It's like Jason said: His title reign is coming to an end very soon. Sooner or later, someone will shatter Chris Blade!
Jazz: Well, it certainly won't be tonight, that's for sure. Up next is...a unique match. It's the battle between Katie Striker and Nyx Rosewood inside one of the unique and insane cage matches: inside of the Thunder Cage called the Dome of Deathmatch!
