Segment: It's come to this.. (Credit Jake Cheng and BK London) No one likes to lose, but in the wrestling world someone has to. Unfortunately, tonight it had to be Jake Cheng. Seeing as Jake hasn’t been in the best of moods lately, this big pay-per-view loss could not have come at a worse time...
The once Asian Extraordinaire sits in a chair with his head down as BK paces back and forth.
BK London: ...another loss Jake? Does the word "win" mean nothing to you? And there we have it folks, the line has been crossed. With BK showing his back to Jake, the Chinese Phenom rises to his feet and lunges at the ACW World Champion, knocking him to the ground with a clubbing motion. Jake kneels over his tag team partner, the fury and anger in his eyes stronger than BK has ever seen before. Jake lifts his clenched fist in the air. But it doesn’t get much further than that.
The door opens up and in walks a woman familiar to the OCW locker room. Jake’s anger disappears and get off of BK London. All the events of the past month fade away at the sight of his girlfriend Kirsten Carter. To bad that she looks about as pissed as BK did at Jake’s loss... Kirsten: What the FUCK is going on here? Cut to Black.

Segment: The Votes are In. Credit: Wayde Russeller
The camera is in the back where Wayde Russeller is sitting in a chair staring into the camera. He has his Entertainment Title on his shoulder and he has a serious look on his face.
Wayde: Tonight, you all witnessed me do what I do best, wrestle. I put on a showcase like no other. I have held this belt for 70 plus days and I don't plan on letting it go anytime soon. But before I go any further, there is an issue we have to discuss. I recently put my future in ACW up to the fans. So at this time I would like to reveal the final voting number. Computer Art, show us how many people said Wayde Russeller should retire!
[glow=red,2,300]57.1%[/glow]
The fans cheer as Wayde Russeller still stares into the camera blank faced.
Wayde: 57.1 percent huh? Well ladies and gentleman, I am a man of my word so I guess this was my final match. Good bye ya'll.
Wayde gets up and walks off camera as the fans cheer. Out of no where he pops back on screen with a smile on his face.
Wayde: Who are we kidding, I'm not a man of my word at all. 57.1 percent? Really? 57.1 percent of the people out there do not realize the Pure Entertainment that I bring to the table? Well I have one thing to say to those people...FUCK YOU. You will learn to respect me for what I am. And that is the greatest champion to ever step into an ACW ring. No one runs my life other than me. So for all you people who were hoping I was leaving, get used to me, because I am going to be here for a while. I am not here to make friends, I am here to make history. Any fan or friend that comes is bonus.
Wayde stands up and wraps the belt around his waist as Diamond comes in and wraps her arms around him. Sly steps in from the side and stands crossed arm glaring at the camera.
Wayde: I want everyone here fans, wrestlers, management, EVERYONE, to take a good long look. Because I am not going anywhere. I am Pure Entertainment, I am the Future, I Am.....Legend
Fade.

Match 9: OCW Heavyweight Championship - Tap Out or Knock Out III BK London vs. Kudo Yasuda (Credit: Kudo) Philip: Ladies and gentlemen, the time has arrived for the final match and your main event of the evening!The ACW faithful erupt in cheers and anticipation as Philip pauses in the middle of the ring for the volume to die down.Philip: This match follows Tap Out or Knock Out stipulations, and a winner will only be awarded following a submission or KO to his opponent. Now, introducing first, the challenger –The crowd immediately cheers wildly and almost engulfs Philip Jones’ introduction.Philip: Hailing from Kyoto, Japan, weighing in at 195 pounds, the Yin-Yang Dragon, the R-3 Prodigy, he is MISTER KAY-OH…KUDO YASUUUUUUUUDA!!!The lights darken to almost a pitch black and the lights above the arena form a Yin-Yang right on the top of the ramp entrance. It swirls around for a few seconds before shattering apart and a deep, mournful voice cites, “K…O…”
As loud and hyped as the crowd is, the remixed opening guitar riffs of Takashi Sorimachi’s “Poison” that streak through the airwaves of the Samhain arena sends the crowd into an even bigger state of elation. Kudo walks out into view finally and the digital cameras and cell phones resume active duty for this final match. The challenger paces down the ramp, and light flashes set up on the sides of it begin lighting themselves up, following Kudo every step of the way as he reaches the end and heads into the ring with his signature ARMADA flag wrapped around his upper body and his Armada band by his knee. McNally: And there is Kudo Yasuda, the man on a mission tonight with his first chance for the World title at a venue as large as this.Edison: Yeah but he’s got to go through BK London who is no easy ride by any stretch.McNally: Those lights perhaps implying a sense of enlightenment for Kudo tonight.Edison: Yeah, or they could just be lights paid for by the ACW Samhain budget…Kudo, donned in a deep red and white colored version of his usual attire, climbs up to the top of each of the four corner turnbuckles and spreads the flag out behind him as each section of the crowd cheers him on. As Kudo drops back down onto the mat, he moves over to the center and gets down on one knee with his head held down, allowing the flag to drape over himself.McNally: It looks as if Kudo is taking in the atmosphere and getting his mind ready for what his body may not be ready for in this Tap Out or Knock Out match.Edison: Oblige us with some knowledge on that McNally.McNally: Well the Tap Out or Knock Out match was innovated by a younger and more impetuous Kudo Yasuda to outwardly challenge The Senator’s often hailed submission techniques. The first ever TOKO was ironically won by Kudo who forced a DQ to win the match without either a tap or a KO taking place.Edison: Yeah that came as a bit of a surprise to many. McNally: It was a testament to Kudo’s early goals which focused on wins against established wrestlers and a quick rise to the top. But make no mistake about it; I think you’re seeing a new Kudo Yasuda who intends 100% to end this match himself.Edison: It’s also a good thing that since then, there are no more DQ’s to end this kind of match. With Kudo still trying to mentally focus, Lupe Fiasco’s “Hello Goodbye”, BK London’s theme music blares out of the speakers, introducing the Champion on his own time without waiting for Philip Jones to do it. Fireball pyrotechnics shoot into the air, loudly presenting the World Champion as he raises the belt in the air. The cheers and support of the crowd quickly switch to boos and jeers of similar volumes as the OCW champion steps out into view with the flashing strobe lights surrounding him. Kudo slowly gets back to his feet now and places his flag aside as he watches BK London’s every move.
BK, dressed in a black and gold wrestling singlet is without any OCW support behind him, and the champion looks every bit as focused as the challenger just a couple of dozen feet away. The graveyard milieu of Samhain offers even more to the atmosphere of impending suffering already in the air.McNally: It appears as though BK London wants to take Kudo one on one without any support from OCW.Edison: The man has held an unbelievable amount of power over the happenings around ACW over his career, and he’s got more than enough reason to end this match against Kudo Yasuda himself via tap out.McNally: 2 years ago almost to the day, BK London defeated a red hot Kudo Yasuda in a 30 minute Iron Man match at Samhain, and now BK will get the chance to do it again here tonight.Philip: A-and introducing now his opponent, the OCW World Heavyweight Champion – BEEEE-KAAAAAY LONDON!!!!The boos rebound back in full force at the announcement of BK’s name, but it appears London is focused on what’s waiting for him in the ring, not what’s emanating outside of it. Philip Jones steps outside and the referee takes his place as BK and Kudo stare eye to eye for the first time since the press conference earlier in the week. The referee goes to receive BK’s belt to present to the crowd, but BK snatches his arm back and holds it up right in Kudo’s face, showing him what could be but won’t be under his watch. Kudo nor the fans appreciate the gesture.Edison: Whoa, a little bit of hostility already!McNally: As much as what’s at stake for Kudo in this match, BK London also has plenty to prove. After being knocked out twice, he has to prove to the world that he has the credibility to hold the title that he currently has in the air right now.Edison: Yeah, and what better way to do it than to make your opponent tap out at a PPV match?After BK London is done showing up Kudo, he lets out a bit of a grin and slams the belt to the chest of the referee. The ref has to regain his composure before he folds the belt and lifts it up for the crowd to see, ending the stream of boos and garnering some applause for the prestigious belt. BK London and Kudo step backwards into their neutral corners awaiting the bell. BK rotates his arms and hops around, loosening up as Kudo lightly shakes out his legs and does the same. Their eyes never veer off each others’ sights even during all of this as the referee signals for the bell.*Ding Ding Ding*Edison: Here - we - GO!

BK London and Kudo circle each other around the ring, pacing almost in synch to one another’s’ movements, ready to defend and ready to strike at the same time.
McNally: Of course Kudo Yasuda back again here tonight headlining an ACW PPV main event. Edison: Yeah it almost seems like eons ago when he even graced the Samhain poster in 2006. McNally: 2 years is eons? You really are an impatient person. Edison: Yeah and if 2 years is eons, you'd be father time right about now.
Something appears to signal the two men as they both charge forward with purpose and with big early offense readily prepared. London throws a wide right hand but Kudo ducks it and counters with a stiff forearm strike. BK London takes the hit and returns fire with some right hands across Kudo’s cheek. Punches turn to elbows as the champion sends the challenger reeling back. London pulls back to deliver a hard elbow to take Kudo down but Kudo throws a high kick and knocks the arm out of the way. BK appears startled, but has the sense to avoid a second flying roundhouse kick from Kudo. Kudo spins around due to the momentum and BK London quickly grasps onto his back and pushes him forward against the ropes. Kudo bounces off with BK still attached and they roll out onto the mat in almost a wheelbarrow fashion where BK grabs the leg of the grounded Kudo and looks to go for an early Corporate Lock submission, but Kudo quickly and with statement, front rolls out of it. The two men quickly face one another and pause as the crowd applauds; one man thinking “I almost got you” and the other one thinking “not a chance.”
McNally: There is such a large contrast between these two men even with their signature maneuvers. The Yakuza Knee with a KO will take someone out within seconds and the whole thing is over, but BK London’s Corporate Lock will apply the pressure and pain for as long as he wants until he makes you tap.
The two men tie up again and BK manages to deliver a snapmare. As he rears back and delivers a big soccer kick, Kudo lies flat and avoids the hit then kips back up to his feet. He fires back with some hefty forearm strikes and then goes to irish whip BK, but BK fights the whip and drags Kudo face down onto the mat by his arm. BK shifts his position to apply a grounded hammerlock and then BK lifts Kudo up and slams him back down using his leverage. Kudo’s arm gets tweaked a bit as he jostles around and front rolls to release the pressure and then cartwheels with his free arm and takes BK down with an arm drag. The crowd cheers as BK gets back to his feet quickly and signals for Kudo to bring it on again.
McNally: There’s just something about these 2 men that bring out the best competition in one another. Neither wants to lose a step in this match with so much on the line.
With the crowd behind them, Kudo and BK tie up in a powerful collar elbow hold and the two try to overpower each other. Kudo begins winning at first, but then BK quickly comes back and delivers a toe kick low in the midsection. Kudo doubles over and BK drives his arm onto Kudo’s chin with a big European uppercut. BK grabs the dazed Kudo and hits a quick snap suplex. BK then picks him up and sends Kudo into the corner while he places his fingers right over the eyes of the challenger. The referee tries to stop him, but London only positions himself on the 1st and 2nd ropes to gain more leverage on the dirty move. As the ref counts to 4, BK London releases the hold but he follows up right after with some stomps and then focuses the stomps on Kudo’s leg. The pain sets in and Kudo wises up and quickly rolls out of the corner, under one of BK’s legs as he raises it for another stomp.
McNally: The quickness of Kudo going to have to come into play to avoid any focused attacks on that leg of his. Edison: Yeah BK’s quickly going to try and soften that already hurting leg of Kudo’s to apply a submission hold.
BK turns around after the roll but Kudo is waiting for him with a forearm to the face, sending BK into the same corner himself now. With great position and holding onto the top rope for his own leverage, Kudo begins firing away concentrated kicks right into BK’s chest. Slowly at first, but Kudo begins picking up almost frightening speed as he yells and fires away crushing blows until finally BK times his move right and catches the leg in mid kick! London immediately tries to position into a Corporate Lock hold but Kudo is wary of the move and immediately delivers an enzuigiri with his other leg, taking the OCW champion down to the delight of the crowd. BK rolls to the outside to catch his breath and reevaluate the situation as Kudo shakes his leg out from the inside, their eyes never leaving each others’ line of vision.
McNally: These two men have each other scouted very well and it shows here in this early match; BK dodging early trouble and Kudo avoiding great damage from BK’s Corporate Lock.
BK London has an annoyed look on his face as he climbs back up to the ring apron but then quickly drops back down when Kudo rushes towards him. The referee tries to hold Kudo back to allow BK to get back in and finally he gets Kudo to take a spot in the far corner. BK London yells at Kudo from the outside as he catches his breath, but seeing his opponent standing so far off, he decides it’s finally safe to get back in. He climbs up to the ring apron with the referee looking on but the crowd’s volume suddenly picks up pitch.
Edison: What is this?!
The referee looks on as BK steps onto the apron, but he doesn’t see Kudo in the far corner ignoring the referee and running with great speed in their direction. BK London looks up and is caught by surprise as is everyone else in the arena as Kudo throws a forceful knee strike right across BK’s forehead, knocking the ref onto the side and BK London straight back down to the outside, crashing into the barricade along the way.
Edison: YA…KU…ZA KNEEEEEEEEE!!! McNally: Oh my where did that come from?
BK London is out on the outside after being taken by surprise and lies motionless in front of thousands of cheering fans. Kudo’s speed leaves even his own knee hurting after that attack as he tries to urge the referee to get back to his senses to check on BK on the outside.
Edison: BK London is NOT moving out there! This match is OVAH! McNally: No, the match is only over once the referee declares that BK is knocked out.

Exactly what is going through Kudo’s mind, as he finally gets the referee back up after slightly getting caught in the crossfire of the previous attack. The referee checks the outside of the ring and sees BK motioning, albeit slowly, and begins counting.
1…
BK’s arm shows a sign of life as it slides over grabbing his head in pain.
2…
3…
4…
McNally: Keep in mind everyone, that this is not an outside count out, this is a count down to see if BK London can make it back to his feet to continue otherwise it will be declared as a KO.
5…
Kudo watches on almost eagerly for BK London to get back up as he begins making more strides to get back on his knees.
6…
BK London has pulled himself back to his feet and leans back on the barricade with his arms resting over it. The two share a look at one another once again as the whole atmosphere just hit the roof with the fans completely into the match now, as well as BK London.
McNally: The first of the finishers has struck, but BK London survives it and by the look on his face, he’s about to turn it up another notch. Edison: That’s right McNally, it’s going to take something with more meat than eye rakes and arm drags to end this one!
After a slight break for recovery, BK spits some saliva built up in his mouth to the side and slides back into the ring, ready to throw down. Kudo goes to greet him with some forearm strikes and a swift kick to the gut. He goes to pick BK up but he counters with a large European uppercut from almost a crouching position. Kudo recovers and throws some shots back and tries to continue his offense by whipping London against the ropes but BK reverses and instead sends Kudo propelling and straight into a slingshot of a belly to belly overhead suplex!
McNally: A well executed suplex there by the champion. Edison: BK London quickly looking to turn this match around.
The sheer toss of the suplex causes Kudo to land a bit on his foot which sends him holding onto his leg instinctively. BK with blood rushing and boiling, immediately heads over to Kudo’s legs and drives his elbow across his right knee while torquing it. BK gets back to his feet and repeats this move 3 times before committing and yanking the leg of Kudo against his own. Kudo lets out a cry of pain as the referee goes to check for a submission. Kudo refuses to tap but BK London isn’t concerned at the moment. BK pulls Kudo along the corner of the ring before heading back to the outside.
Edison: What’s BK doing here?
BK grabs Kudo’s leg from the outside and swings it straight into the ring post, sending a sharp dose of pain through Kudo once again. BK looks intent as ever to continue his work as he checks to see if he’s bleeding from his head after the earlier knee strike. He isn’t.
McNally: One has to wonder if Kudo’s leg and BK’s head have taken too much damage over the past few weeks to make either as effective as they could be. Edison: Are you kidding McNally?! Desire is the ultimate motivator!
Kudo needs no extra motivation than the pain shooting through his legs, but BK London is not slacking off by any means. He grabs Kudo’s leg again and lifts it up this time and drives it hard back down against the apron edge. Kudo lets out a yell of pain and pulls himself towards the middle of the ring to avoid any further attacks. BK London, with the advantage securely in his favor, steps back into the ring with less urgency. He watches as Kudo crawls towards the ropes on the opposite side and pull himself up. BK motions for him to continue trying to work his way to a standing position, and once Kudo does, BK immediately takes out the leg from underneath him with a sweeping kick. Kudo drops back down onto his back and grasps his leg again as BK stands over him in mocking fashion.
Edison: My how the tides have changed since that early Yakuza Knee. BK completely taking over this match now. McNally: And he’s increasing his chances of locking in that dangerous Corporate Lock and forcing a tap out with the damage he’s doing to Kudo’s leg. Edison: Hey Maxwell, ix-nay on the dangerous-nay, that’s my shtick.
Finally, BK grabs Kudo’s legs and drags him back toward the middle of the ring. BK London goes for sharpshooter, inserting his legs between Kudo’s and hooking his opponent’s legs together, but as BK brings his other leg over to complete the submission hold, Kudo uses the momentum and swings BK downwards. With a grapevine already in position due to the sharpshooter, Kudo applies his signature heel hook move!
Edison: Wow! I spoke too soon! Kudo out of nowhere locking in that heel hook, tight! McNally: And he’s got position now that BK dragged him to the middle of the ring, this could be big trouble.
BK is indeed taking in immense pain, as the sharpshooter attempt left him completely vulnerable to the heel hook, but it’s still early on and BK begins pulling himself towards the ropes. Kudo is wise to this and tries to buy more time and position by tightening the grapevine of his legs around BK’s, still hooking his heel. BK winces in pain and realizes it will take much too much effort to pull himself to the ropes, so instead he begins dropping elbows on Kudo’s hurting leg, one, two then finally a third time that successfully breaks the grapevine and the hold. The crowd begins cheering for the early presentation of action as both men work their ways back to their feet, ready to go another round. BK initiates the offense, looking to throw a quick clothesline to take the challenger back on his back, but Kudo ducks it and returns fire with a swift kick to BK’s ribcage. The shot looks to have shot all the air out of BK’s lungs as he takes a roundhouse kick to the head. BK reels back and Kudo prepares his leg for some damage as he uses it to throw a second roundhouse kick straight against BK’s neck. BK is forced to that side from the strike, and hits the ropes as Kudo runs across and clotheslines him to the outside. The crowd cheers as for a moment it looks as though Kudo is going to take off from inside with a diving over the top move, but Kudo thinks better of it and instead heads to the outside regularly, avoiding any unnecessary reckless damage. Kudo grabs BK by the neck and throws him against the barricade top. The fans cheer as the action is brought right in front of them but Kudo doesn’t stay there long. He grabs BK again and forcefully throws him head first into the steel ring post as he collides into the steel steps at the same time. BK while on the ground checks to see if he’s bleeding now. He is.
Edison: BK hit that turnbuckle with tremendous force and now he’s begun slightly bleeding down his forehead.
BK doesn’t have time to take it all in as Kudo is back over him, lifting him up and throwing him back into the ring. Kudo rolls BK onto his back and sets him up into a camel clutch, tugging back on BK’s head and allowing the blood stream to flow down his face. The referee comes over and asks if BK wants to give up but nothing doing. BK yells out a resounding ‘no’ and tries to apply pressure to Kudo’s leg again to break out of the hold. Kudo tries to counter this by switching his camel clutch into a grounded side headlock instead. The referee asks again and BK gives him another ‘no’ as he begins to work his way back up to a standing position, with Kudo still holding on in a headlock. BK bounces against the ropes and propels Kudo out of the hold and across to the other side as he returns and gets nailed by a kitchen sink knee which takes the Japanese star over and stumbling down. BK wipes some of the blood that has collected off of his face and quickly goes back to work on Kudo, dropping stomps all over his body now; chest, legs, arms and head with malicious intent. The fans boo as BK regains the upper advantage over the downed Kudo.
McNally: There’s no fooling around here for BK London. He may not like Kudo, but it’s clear there’s some respect for his skill to not let up.
BK drags Kudo back to his feet and hoists him straight up and right back down, face first into the top turnbuckle. Kudo’s head bounces off and he topples down into a sitting position. BK London throws some extra stomps on Kudo just to get a rise out of the crowd it seems before he heads off to the opposite end of the ring. Kudo is still in a seated position, breathing deeply as BK takes off running with a face wash in mind. At the last minute though, Kudo pulls himself away using the bottom rope, and BK crashes violently into the turnbuckle, hitting parts that weren’t meant to be struck in that way. The crowd lets out a big cheer as Kudo brings himself back up to his feet. He grabs BK and hits some knees into his gut before whipping him against the ropes. On the return trip, BK sidesteps Kudo and hoists him by the waist going for a German suplex but Kudo fights it off! Kudo lands back down to his feet before he’s even lifted past a couple feet as he then switches positions, now clutching BK’s waist. BK doesn’t stand for this though and quickly shifts back in position and lifts Kudo into the suplex, but Kudo flips over and lands on his feet again! The impact causes Kudo to wince a bit before bouncing off the ropes and looking to deliver a running forearm strike to BK, but BK has enough time and awareness to grab onto the speeding Kudo and deliver a Medeval London! (Leaping reverse STO)
Edison: Big move there to stop Kudo’s resurgence!
The fans boo, but some also cheer at the athletic exchange, as BK signals for the end. BK points towards Kudo’s leg and imitates a bone snapping motion with his hands. He turns the struggling Kudo onto his back and immediately locks in the Corporate Lock!
Edison: This could be it McNally! McNally: Kudo is definitely in a predicament here.

BK angles, squeezes, torques and nearly breaks Kudo’s ankle right at the start, as the challenger yells in pain. The referee heads over and asks Kudo if he gives up but Kudo clearly says no. After another few seconds if excruciating pain, the ref tries to ask Kudo again if he wants to tap but he gets shoved away adamantly by the R-3 prodigy.
Edison: Unbelievable! McNally: That inner spirit in Kudo is giving him the strength to not tap in this situation. Edison: That’s not a warrior’s spirit! That’s stubbornness! At this rate he is going to lose both this match and the ankle if he doesn’t give in.
The crowd begins chanting “KU-DO, KU-DO” after the show of obstinance and Kudo appears to be fueling himself from it as he pulls himself towards the ropes and manages to grasp on for dear life.
Edison: I don’t believe it!
The crowd cheers wildly as the hold is broken and BK London can only tip his hat to that show of willpower. Wrong. That isn’t all he can do. This is BK London, and he goes straight back to work, dragging Kudo back to the middle of the ring by his leg and drops an elbow on it while pulling back. BK seems to enjoy the hostile atmosphere, he’s been thriving on it all through his career, and it is only another motivating factor at this point in the match where both men are being tired out.
As Kudo tries to break the hold, BK applies even more pressure and sends Kudo onto his back in pain.
BK London: TAP!
Kudo grabs onto BK’s arm to try and reverse the pressure, and just as BK tries to use his other arm to knock Kudo back, Kudo takes advantage and brings his other leg forward, still holding onto BK’s arm tightly and executing a grounded cross armbar!
McNally: A tactical counter there by Kudo.
Kudo and the crowd behind him pull back on BK’s arm while levering him downwards, even with two battered legs. The moment is a game changer and Kudo knows it, desperately trying to keep his grip as BK is the one now in massive pain. The ref quickly heads to BK and asks him but he just shakes his head, still yelling out in pain. Just as the pain almost becomes too unbearable, BK grabs the ref by his pant leg and flings him backwards, forcing him to land directly on top of Kudo, effectively breaking the hold as BK rolls out of the ring grasping onto his arm.
Edison: And that may have just saved this match for BK London! McNally: A veteran’s as well as a champion’s move to get out of the predicament by BK London.
BK is back on his feet shaking out his arm in pain, testing to see the limits of the damage but Kudo and his adrenaline is already up as well as he bounces off the ropes and dives over the top with a plancha, hitting BK directly into the barricade! The fans chant for Kudo once again as both men remain down on the ground with the referee counting away. He gets to a 5 count before both men start getting back to their feet. The pain to Kudo’s legs after the high flying gamble appear to cost him as BK is able to take the reins of the match again. BK delivers a swift European uppercut and throws Kudo back into the ring. BK, breathing heavily but feeling the end of the match coming soon, climbs to the apron and up onto the turnbuckle.
Edison: Could it be?! McNally: These fans are anticipating From Brooklyn to London coming up.
BK finally gets both of his feet on the top rope but as he turns to find Kudo’s body on the mat, he is introduced to a Kudo running up the turnbuckle in front of him and flinging him backwards with an avalanche style KO Exploder!
Edison: DANGERRROUS!!! McNally: Kudo doesn’t look well after that move but it definitely bought him some time.
BK’s body crashes down onto the mat hard and Kudo suffers a similar fate from not being able to execute the move as crisply as normal. The fans give the men a hearty “Holy shit!” chant but both competitors cannot even comprehend it at the moment. Side by side, BK London and Kudo Yasuda lie flat on their backs, only their heads turned toward each other, watching each other even in a helpless situation. The referee counts start to come in now:
1…
2…
3…
4…
5…
6…
Finally, both men almost in synch with one another break their trance and make an effort to get their shoulders up as they both slowly try and get up. The crowd cheers them on, watching a great battle between two rivals. One leg, then two, both men finally get back to a standing position and turn towards each other. Kudo lets out a deep breath and signals for BK to bring it on. BK can only smirk at the invitation, spitting out another round of blood and saliva built up in his mouth. BK accepts the challenge and charges at Kudo who plays a defensive game now, ducking a clothesline and delivering a swift kick with his other leg to BK’s side. BK stumbles a bit but comes right back with an elbow in mind but Kudo sidesteps this and drives his knee into BK’s gut. With BK doubled over, Kudo signals for the end and hoists BK over his back.
Sayonara.
With BK London on his shoulders and the crowd on their feet, they watch as Kudo takes a deep breath and tosses BK up in the air while simultaneously leaping with a knee strike backed up with the strength from deep down.
Edison: SA-YO-NARA!
Flash photography overtakes the arena but they capture the wrong image, as BK London manages to avoid the strike by a hair and grab Kudo’s leg in one swift motion while applying the Corporate Lock before they have even landed! The crowd lets out a huge “OOOOOH!” as the two men hit the mat, hold still in place, and Kudo begins yelling in considerable pain.
Edison: OH MY GOD! McNally: Kudo is in a world of trouble now.

The surprise of that entire exchange leaves BK not applying the Corporate Lock as effectively as he could have. With the blood from his forehead flowing down over one of his eyes, he struggles to find the correct median to put Kudo away. Kudo’s adrenaline rush with the Sayonara has yet subsided and he quickly grabs on to BK’s leg and twists into a heel hook before he can lock in a grapevine! Heel hook and Corporate Lock are both locked on at the same time, albeit awkwardly, but at this point any torque on their bodies brings about a tremendous amount of suffering. Edison: Two submission holds, who’s going to tap?!McNally: The Sayonara, that concentrated knee strike was meant to be the end, but BK is going all out to retain his championship and make Kudo tap.Neither of the men releases their hold. At this point, whoever lets go may just end up losing the match, and everything else this match means to them; championship gold, respect, redemption. As both men tug their hardest the referee has quite a time trying to ask both men for submissions. Finally, again almost in synch, both men cannot bear the pain anymore and release their holds, neither man giving in officially to the referee. The two crawl and pull themselves to opposite corners. Edison: What an exchange, and what a match! How badly do you want it?!McNally: Ladies and gentlemen, an Iron Man match was not listed on the card tonight, but that is exactly what you are all witnessing here tonight.Kudo and BK stare at one another from a sitting position at opposite ends of the ring. Kudo’s eyes drop and he stares at the ARMADA band tied around his knee. It hasn’t wavered the entire match. [---Kudo’s Psyche---] [glow=red,2,300]This is it. You’re done. Last shot. You have to get up for a Yakuza Knee, but you know your knee can only take maybe one more good shot before it gives out. One last go at it. All or nothing. You leave everything out there. No regrets…No regrets.[/glow][---Kudo’s Psyche---] Kudo watches as BK drags himself back up to a standing position. [---Kudo’s Psyche---] [glow=red,2,300]He just won’t go away. Why won’t he just stay down? You need a new way to send him goodbye…a new way to say “Sayonara…”[/glow][---Kudo’s Psyche---] Kudo brings himself up almost entirely through arm power on the ropes and the two men pace towards each other one more time. Kudo is back in fully offensive mode now and feigns an eblow strike and then throws a surprising mid kick into BK’s gut! McNally: Kudo is really digging deep to keep on using those legs after the damage they took.Edison: Yeah, BK was definitely not expecting a leg kick at this point after the damage he inflicted.BK is doubled over and Kudo positions himself into a suplex position. He lifts BK London up into the air and holds him up vertically, his legs staying strong for him for one last offensive burst. McNally: Could be going for the first and last brainbuster of this match here to end it all.Kudo finally decides it’s time and with his legs just about to give, he doesn’t go for the brainbuster. Kudo in suplex position, instead returns BK London back down to his feet and has a concentrated knee ready to strike his face in the same motion! Edison: WHAT?!!McNally: Almost like a Sayonara variation there with that clinched concentrated knee strike.Kudo cannot get a full clinch on BK’s head however, and the OCW champion uses the last trick up his sleeve and dodges the innovative match ending strike by a hair. The breeze of air that forms and hits BK’s bloody face sends a cool shiver throughout his body that wakes him up for his final counter. BK drives his foot straight up before Kudo has time to recover and nails him right under his chin, sending him crumbling down onto the mat. Edison: A HUGE Shades of Michaels kick right there!BK London’s momentum takes him towards the ropes where he rests and waits for the referee to count. He stands over Kudo to make sure he isn’t completely gone, but is never in a position to start the count as Kudo is already willing himself back on one knee. Edison: Un-be-lievable…Kudo slowly works his way up and finally gets back on both legs and into a wobbly, standing position. BK London takes one last deep breath and delivers another crushing Shades of Michaels, this time connecting straight into the back of Kudo’s head! Edison: Dangerous! It’s gotta be over!The fans are on their feet as they watch Kudo collapse once more, dropping onto the mat and then rolling over with his face up to the ceiling lights. BK London leans on the turnbuckle as he watches the fallen Kudo, but more importantly now, the referee.

“Hello Goodbye” fills the arena sound waves as the referee offers BK his title belt and BK glances at the still downed Kudo Yasuda one more time before making his way out of the ring and up to the ramp. As BK heads back up, Alan Albright, Jess Washington, Haiku Ryu and Ghetto Rob come running out in a line. BK ignores them as he continues back up the ramp and disappears into the back with his title belt over his shoulder.
McNally: This match was full of surprises from the get go, and it even ends in some level of surprise with BK winning the match by knockout rather than a tap out. Edison: You said it McNally. McNally: Kudo Yasuda gained an opportunity here at Samhain and he most certainly didn’t waste it. Edison: He may not have won the World title, but he certainly won the appreciation of this crowd! Just listen!
Cheers get up to their loudest point of the match as the 4 men get into the ring with Kudo finally back onto his hands and knees. Haiku Ryu grabs the ARMADA flag off on the side and waves it into the air as Jess Washington and Ghetto Rob help Kudo back to his feet. Albright stands aside and can only join in applause with the crowd as the R-3 leader is given a standing ovation for his performance tonight. Kudo appreciates the help getting up, but he delivers a bow under his own strength to each side of the arena himself. The fans return the gesture with a “KU-DO” chant that continues on and on. Kudo and Albright share a look of acceptance and the two shake hands once again, Kudo regaining his confidence and an appreciation for the ones that support him. Ghetto Rob hypes up the crowd behind Haiku Ryu still waving the R-3 flag. Washington and Albright each take a side and help Kudo step up the ramp. The “KU-DO” chants continue up to and even after all 4 men disappear into the back with the remixed theme of “Poison” ending another ACW October PPV event.
McNally: From all of us here at ACW, we’d like to thank everyone for tuning in, we hope you weren’t disappointed. Edison: Are you kidding? How could they be?! This was a fantastic event. Way better than that other October event with the razor blade candies and nasty neighbors pretending they aren’t home… McNally: We’d like to thank Washington D.C. for hosting us of course. We’ll see you again on Thursday Meltdown.
And so Samhain concludes. BK has once again held on to the OCW title... but the OCW itself could now be on borrowed time, if Ginger has his way.
The battle for ACW is coming to a head. And like all epic battles, there will be casualties...
Fade to Black.
End of Show.

My thoughts:- While I could've done without seeing that Madonna album cover again, I did enjoy the Dave Tyler promo early in the show. One of the better debuting promos I've read besides the whole bump into someone and start a feud or saying "Hey, I'm Dolph Ziggler". It's good to read a segment that's both entertaining and really conveys what the character is all about. Tyler reminds me of Pegasus from Yu-Gi-Oh as well. - I find it entertaining whenever American Made denies that he used to be Thunderkiss. Oh how segments parallel real life. American Made is really going to shine during this US tour. He should take on more communists. - I enjoyed Tyler vs Wayde, and I like how Wayde gave Tyler a bit of a platform to really introduce himself tonight. I also found the Mrs. Red thing a bit awkward, hopefully it goes somewhere. - XS3/Jake's segment - AWWWWKWAAARD. - Train/Sijewh Match: I thought the back and forth action was pretty cool and I really like how instrumental Snake was in this match. I could easily see Train/Snake match at Hello Goodbye or maybe even a triple threat between the three. - The Green Goblin. I smell ratings....no I don't. - Not many people ask to face Yoko in the ring, due to her long streak of not losing, but Rattlesnake did - which got a bit of a surprise of me. But when I think about it, Snake's character doesn't really care who he's facing in the ring, he's absolutely fearless between those four ropes. If this means a Yoko Satoshi vs. Rattlesnake match in the near future, I'm down. - Fantasic Triple Threat Ladder Match. I thought it could've gone on a bit longer, but for what it was - it was wonderfully paced and had a lot of back and forth action. I marked out for McKay's Lungblower off the Ladder, Gory Bomb through the table, and the RIGHT IN YO FACE out of nowhere on McKaye. - I've just finished reading the main event, and while I didn't think it would top our 30 Minute Iron Man Match at Samhain in 2006 - oh my how it did. I've written my own matches for qutie some time now, so when Kudo told me he had no problem taking this match, I was relieved that for the first time in a while I would get to read how someone else writes my match. Quite a bit of back and forth action with the double submission, the counters of the Sayonara, Kudo's pysche coming into play, among many other things. Truly a epic main event that I think people should take a look at. Fantastic work Kudo.

Alright, I've made an entire topic on feedback and it should be implented into shows but I haven't did the greatest job of that myself. So I'll be trying to get something similar to TK's top 5 started. But I may go further with it. Who knows. [Top 5 Highlights of the Show]
5. ACW gets a little bit "sweeter" with the debut of Dave Tyler. Now, when someone signs up with a "The" Brian Kendrick poser, I'm legally obligated to mark out. And after seeing the segments by Tyler he's only helped that claim. His first segment of the night was a nice little comical segment which helped kick the show off nicely. Then in a surprise twist he is named as Wayde's ET Open Challenge Challenger. I was really impressed with the way his character was portrayed and how he acts during a match. Very strong debut for Mr. Tyler.
4. American Made RUNS WILD ON SAMHAIN! Seeing American Made parade around the ACW arena acting as he if he has no idea who or where anything is amusing. It's also amusing to see him pull of Hogan type wins on a PPV. I've been waiting to see what TK's reaction would be to the way Thunder Train has become recently and even though it wasn't exactly Mr. 500 himself - I still found it to be a fun segment. As said earlier, I would love to see A.M. do a bunch of PRO-AMERICA promos during the US Tour and see how far he'll really push his character before his secret is revealed. If it ever is!
3. The Suntan Sup-- I mean the Sultan of Swerves. >_> Now I put this as a highlight for the simple reason that I honestly thought this was the return of an superstar who hadn't been in ACW for like, ever. But in a flashback of Fallen Heroes, Snake did the unthinkable and revealed himself to be this force who seemed to not give a shit what people thought and will swerve you any chance he gets. I wasn't for this gimmick the first time around so I'll definitely be reading to see where it takes with Train and/or Yoko.
2. International Lungblower! Despite the last minute adjustments and PM system problems, I can honestly say I had fun writing this match with Zero. We had so many ideas for the match, spots, multiple endings etc etc. Once again it sucks that we couldn't make it as long as we wanted but hey - things happen. With no biased involved, I can honestly say that if I didn't have a part in this match I would still be marking out off the spots that were included. Props to McKaye for the lungblower idea as well, very creative.
1. KUDO'S PSYCHE Just like I've been doing for every BK World Title Match since his reign started, I immediately cheered his challenger the whole way through (>_>). Submission/KO styled matches are rarely done and Kudo did a hell of a job to prove why they should be used more often. It's one of those matches you read and sit on the edge of your seat honestly trying to figure out whos gonna pick up the win. Kudo's Psyche was super creative and after it kicked in I just knew the match was in the bag. And it was - after BK hit a Shades of Michaels and knocked the challenger DOWN. After the ten count we came to realization that BK will be champ FOR YET ANOTHER MONTH. UGH. J/K BK, we all love you deep deep down inside. Anyways, we now move onto HelloGoodbye... the PPV.
Superstar of the Night: Kudo Yasuda.
Match of the Night: World Title match edges out the International Title match.
Feud of the Night: I would have originally said Cheng/Andrews, but now I gotta give it to probably BK/Yasuda for having that special post match you lost but you still won moment. This is all my opinion as you know, therefore I'm now claiming it as law, just a fun and nice little feedback article if you will.

- XS3/Jake's segment - AWWWWKWAAARD. Hey now. >_> A great show, some nice debuts and some great action on top of it. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Bryce for the great feud, he was a real class act to work with. P.S. I figured it would be you, Snake. The dialogue striked me as something you'd say. But the Sultan of Swerve has a nice ring to it.
