T H A N K S to an old friend.[/center][/font] The camera fades in to reveal The Senator Steve Phillips sitting on a chair with both hands to the sides of his face. Looking down at the floor, he takes in a few deep breaths in preparation for his match. After a pause, Kalb and Fits plow through the door with smiles on their faces.Fits: HE GOT OWNED! Kalb: Did you see the look on his face? Fits: Do you think she really left him in there? Kalb: How should I know? Why should I care, either? Fits: Steve! Steve! it was amazing! Totally awesome, we got a snowshovel and... Kalb: Hey, leave him alone ... can't you see he's busy? It's not like he doesn't have a big time match tonight or anything... Senator: *Sigh...* Kalb: See! Fits: Aw, but man! It's like, man... Kalb: Fitsy, shut up! Rena: Ahem. They turn to find Rena smiling behind them. With a hand on her hip, she moves gracefully to Fits and Kalb, stroking their faces with her hands.Rena: Thanks, boys. Fits: Anything for you, Rena! Anything! Kalb: Oh, you gotta be kidding me... Rena: *smiling* You were real helpful tonight, I really appreciate it. turning away from the boys, Rena begins to move towards The Senator. She smiles, turning to the buffet table situation beside The Senator and grabbing a carrot stick.Rena: *chewing* The boys did really do a great job. Senator: Excellent. Rena: *smiles* We took care of Bryce. I left him to die all tied up in that disgusting warehouse. Thanks for telling me about that place! Senator: Marvelous. Rena threw the carrot back onto the table and turned to face Steve.Rena: *gritting her teeth* The three of us went to my apartment and had the sex of my life. Senator: Great. Rena: STEVEN! Senator: Argh, Rena, what do you want? Rena: I'm trying to talk to you! Senator: Might it occur to you that I am a bit preoccupied here? Perhaps if you would look around the arena, and notice my face on all those nifty posters, you would realize that I have big fish to fry, and cannot be bothered with trivial banter and typical foolishness. Rena: Oh, I know all about that babe. She smiles, moving towards him.Senator: I just need to gather my focus, set myself in the proper state of mind. This is a challenge like none other that I have faced. Moving her hands onto The Senator's shoulders, she begins to stroke them gently. Closing his eyes, The Senator cracks his neck and stares forward fumbling around with his wrist tape, and while his demeanor is as tense as can be, a slight hint of pleasure is apparent in his expression.Rena: You just sit back and think about kicking Steele and Tk's asses. Senator: Mhm ... Rena: Now, I- Senator: Shhhhhh. Rena: Sorry. The massage continued until Phillips reached back and gently pushed Rena's hands away.Senator: Ok, Rena, I need to take this time to focus. Rena: I thought we were focusing. Senator: I cannot do this! Not now! Rena: >_> Uhhh Sennie it's just a massage. Senator: No, not that, I mean, I am on the verge of the most important match in the history of this federation, of my career, and I am facing off against a seemingly unstoppable titan, and a human dynamo as a champion! And then you have me, an old man trying to play a young man's game... Rena: Hey. Hey! Rena had now moved in front of him, bending her knees slightly and placing her hands on his jawline.Rena: You are Steve Phillips. You have faced worse than this. Senator: Perhaps I have, but I do not remember when that was. Rena: And there is not on man in this company who can hold a candle to you. Senator: I do not know if that is... Rena: No man. Smiling at him, Rena moves in and tenderly kisses him on the cheek. As she moves her head back and looks into his eyes, she rubs off the kiss like a mother to a child.Rena: Now go kick some ass. With a wink, Rena stands up straight and begins to head for the door.Senator: Rena? Rena: Yeah? Senator: Thanks. Rena: *smiles* It's what I'm here for. Senator: Perhaps so. Hey, one more thing... Rena: What? Senator: Are you going to leave here without wishing me luck tonight? Rena: You don't need it. The boys, who were standing at the door move away and nod towards Rena. As she leaves the room, The Senator resumes the position he was found in as Kalb and Fits look at each other.Fits: *whispering* You think they'll get back together? I mean, Bossman was all goo goo eyed there and all... Kalb: *whispering* Nah, I don't think so. Too much history. Fits: *smiles* Ah, man that means I'll have a chance with her! Kalb: *laughs* No chance in hell! Fits: Shut up! Kalb: Anyways, don't you think Mystique'll be jealous if shh-er-he knows you've been thinking of cheating? Fits: HEY! The camera begins to fade as Fits puts Kalb in a full nelson, Kalb continuing to laugh at Fits' growing anger.[fade]

Segment: The Smart Report (Credit: Michael Smart) The scene cuts to show a white cardboard sign that says in blue letters "The Smart Report". A theme tune plays, consisting entirely of Daniel Smart singing.Daniel Smart: Dedodo deedodo deedodoo, The Smart Report!The camera pans back to show Michael Smart, sitting on an office chair right behind a desk, some papers on his hand. He occasionally glances at the papers while talking, reading what he has to say.Michael Smart: Hello everyone, and welcome to the first edition of The Smart Report. And if I know Daniel, thanks to his ADD he will forget this in favor of another crappy idea.Daniel Smart: Hey!Michael Smart: Well it's true. Anyway, it says here that I'm supposed to comment on the events that have transpired tonight, but thanks to Daniel screwing up, I have no idea what's been going on in the show thus far.Daniel Smart: I didn't screw up, one of the production workers said that they needed it back.Michael Smart: It was bought with my money!Daniel Smart: Well how could I know that?Michael Smart: You were there when we I bought it!Daniel Smart: Well excuse me for forgetting something. Now you need to get on with the show. Michael Smart: Fine. Now then, please welcome my first and only guest of this evening...Michael leans in on the paper, making sure that he's reading it correctly. He gets a confused expression.Michael Smart: ...Emo Guy?A guy with long black hair, one of his eyes covered with hair, the other having black eyeliner, comes into the room. He is wearing completely black clothes and has a lip piercing. He sits on the couch while Daniel sings again.Daniel Smart: Emo Guy, Emo Guy, he dresses in black but cut him some slack cause he's Emo Guy!Michael stares at the whole scene in total disbelief before shaking his head and concentrating.Michael Smart: So... you are Emo Guy.Emo Guy: Yes. Michael is silent for a while, then looks in the direction of Daniel.Michael Smart: Explain.Daniel Smart: Well, I tried to get someone important to come here, but everyone was busy tonight, so I found this guy off the street. I named him Emo Guy because he didn't want people to know his real name.Michael feels like banging his head on the desk, but instead turns to his guest again.Michael Smart: So... your really like the color black, huh?Emo Guy: My appearance is dark, just like my soul. Michael Smart: ...Michael tries to think of something to say, but after a while of nothing, he consults his papers.Michael Smart: So... Emo Guy, tell me a little about yourself.Emo Guy: My whole life has been dark. The only emotion I know is sorrow. I only get joy when sharp steel comes to contact with my flesh. Michael Smart: Michael hurriedly searches through the papers for another question, preferably one that doesn't involve talk about cutting or razors.Michael Smart: Um... do you have anything you want to say?Emo Guy: My life is nothing but torment. Speaking about it is pointless, just like I'm pointless. Michael Smart: I'm sure there's something good about your life.Emo Guy: There isn't. My mother hated me, my father left me. I've never had friends because everyone hates me. That is why I like to take razors and... Michael Smart: You don't need to finish that sentence! Well, I have no other questions, so I guess you can leave.Emo Guy gets up. However instead of getting out of the room, he heads toward Daniel. The camera follows.Emo Guy: Now where's my 40 bucks? Daniel Smart: 40 bucks?! I said 20!Emo Guy: This gig was embarassing, my career might be ruined. 40 bucks. Michael Smart: Wait, what's going on?The camera pans back to show all three of them. Michael still at his desk, Daniel at the production table and Emo Guy on the other side of the table, in front of Daniel. Emo Guy turns to Michael.Emo Guy: Your cousin hired me to appear as an emo on this show.[/color] Michael Smart: Wait... you're an actor?Emo Guy: Yeah. But I might not be one for long, appearing in an embarassing role like this on a poor set like this? I've hit rock bottom. Now where's my money?[/color] Daniel Smart: Uh... what are you talking about? I didn't hire you, and you're an emo guy, not an actor!Daniel leans in to whisper something to the "Emo".Emo Guy: Oh, he wasn't supposed to know that I'm an actor? Daniel Smart: Not that loud!Michael has just about had enough.Michael Smart: Daniel, give him his money. I need to talk to you.Daniel gives the man cash, then motions for him to leave. Daniel turns to look at Michael, trying to explain.Daniel Smart: Now, I know this seems...Michael Smart: What the hell is wrong with you?! You wanted to have a talk show, but instead of giving up on the idea when you couldn't get anyone to appear, you hire someone to come here?Daniel Smart: I thought...Michael Smart: And why did he have to be someone stupid like "Emo Guy"?Daniel Smart: I thought it would be funny and make you seem cool in front of the internet?Michael Smart: ...Michael gets up.Michael Smart: I've had enough! Enough of your stupid jokes, enough of you making me look like a joke, enough of you doing more to hurt me than help me!Daniel doesn't know what to say, just looking nervously at his cousin.Michael Smart: I'm sick of all of this! You haven't helped my one bit, and there's no reason to have you here! This is over!Daniel Smart: Wait... are you saying that...Michael Smart: You're fired!Daniel is shocked. He can't believe what Michael is saying.Daniel Smart: B...but...the contract says t-that you need to give me six months worth of payment if...Michael Smart: That's a good price for getting rid of you.Michael storms off, Daniel sitting still, shocked as the scene fades.

Book 1: D-Town Chapter 15: Leaving Again Credit: Andrew Black [/i][/center] September 22ndHere we are again, time for me to leave again. Its early Sunday morning, but instead of sneaking out of the trailer, I get to say goodbyes. The three guys and Tommy stand outside the trailer with me and my stuff packed in Chill’s car. I shake hands with Big P and Jamol because they aren’t coming to the bus station. I also embrace Tommy, but I have a feeling we will be keeping in touch. He has already said he is coming down to Chicago soon so I can show him around. But the conversations are just buying time: I could have left, but I need to see her one more time.
And as if on cue, she opens the door to her trailer, with a large suitcase and another bag. Everyone is quiet, probably as lost as I am, and she makes her way to the car, throwing her stuff in the trunk, and putting the other bag in the back seat. She gets out of the car and joins the circle, but we all just continue staring, wondering what the fuck she is doing. Someone eventually voices this opinion… Big P: What are you doin? Nicole: I’m going with Andrew. Woah, wait! What? No way! You ne-Something hits me in the stomach, and not expecting it I get some of the wind knocked out of me. I look over to see Tommy’s elbow pull back from my stomach. I look up to see him smile then I look around to see everyone else smiling. Ok ok, get in the damn car.The hooting and hollering begins as she gets in the backseat. I follow suit, getting in the passenger side, and Chill gets in and starts the car. We roll down our windows, saying our final good byes as we drive off into the sunrise. Ahh the metaphors.
End Of Book One

Match 10: The Crucible Chris Phenomenal vs Danny Mainer vs Jonny Hughes vs Lee Homicide vs TNT (Credit: Jonny Hughes, Chris Phenomenal & Danny Mainer) THE CRUCIBLE Credit: Jonny Hughes (Beginning), Chris Phenomenal (Middle) and Danny Mainer (End + Entrances) The crowd sit patiently, already blown away by the stellar matches they've seen so far. They've seen Chris Phenomenal retain his title against VorteX, they've seen the epic encounter between Rena and Bryce and they've seen Dan White and Hitman of the Gods go at it but now there's a much bigger prize on the line. This, ladies and gentlemen is The Crucible. Ladders are scattered around the ring, the scene is intense and the crowd are prepared as they know what's coming next.Jones: LAADIIIEEEESSS ANNNNDDDD GENTLEMEN! The following contest is The CRUCIIIIIIBLEEEEEEEEE! The objective of the match is to scale the ladder and bring down the briefcase with you. The person who can do that will be the winner of The Crucible and has a guaranteed title shot any time and ANY place! Introducing first, from Hartlepool, England! Weighing in at two hundred and twenty one pounds he is THE SPITFIRE JOOONNNYYYYY HUUUGHEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! With that, Spitfire by The Prodigy hits but to the amazement of the audience something else walks out through the curtain. Liam Howlett, Maximum Reality and Keith Flint themselves that make the three-piece band The Prodigy walk out of the curtain dancing. Maximum Reality, in his standard white face paint and his dreads. Microphone clasped in his hands, he walks to the front of the stage as all the fans clap and cheer.Maximum Reality: EVERYONE at ACW... The music continues to blare as Liam and Keith do their thing behind Maximum who stands there, staring into the souls of the electrified audience who are enjoying Spitfire blaring over the soundsystem. After about thirty seconds of just standing there, staring, Maximum breaks his silence.Maximum Reality: STAAAAANNNNNNND TO ATTENTIOOOOOON! SPITFIIIIIIIIIIREEEEE!!! Then of course, the man himself wanders out of the curtain as the crowd give him the loudest ovation he may ever have had in his career. Omega Effect V, he knows the situation and as he walks down to the ring his eyes on the prize he has his game plan all figured out and he knows what he's going to do. Jonny Hughes slides into the ring and stares up at the case, The Prodigy continues to play much to the pleasure of the fans who allow the song to ride out. Once it's all said and done with, Maximum thanks the fans and they head backstage. Next?Jones: And from Brooklyn, New York weighing in at one hundred and seventy pounds weighing in at Lights cut to black as a thick fog begins billowing up around the entrance. Some faraway old-school Chinese instrumentals ring sharply through the air until it’s suddenly cut by a thunderous yell of... N.Y. TILL I DIE! [/size][/font][/center] With that, the funky, upbeat intro to “Come Original” by 311 hits as a cascade of pyro shoots up from the stage. A lone spotlight shines on the entryway, but there’s no one to be found there. Eventually, the spotlight begins scanning the audience, searching for the man of the hour. After a brief survey of the scene, it finally settles on Lee Homicide. He kneels on one knee with his head hung low in reverence. After a brief silent moment to himself, Lee flicks his hood back to his face, then bursts up onto his feet and starts his march toward the ring. As he wades through the scrum of fans, they offer him plenty of slaps on the back. When Lee reaches the barricade, he hops over and then slides into the ring. He settles into his corner, making sure to give his dogtags a kiss for good luck as he awaits the bell. Jones: And from Las Vegas, Nevada by way of Minato, Japan! He is a two time International Champion and THE CREATOR of The Crucible! Weighing in at 183 pounds... DANNYYYYYY MAIIIINEEEEEEERRRRR! With that, Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde and whoever basses and drums for him appear around the stage. Ozzy, walks to the centre of the stage and all of the metalhead fans in the building worship the almighty Prince of Darkness who stands before their very eyes.Ozzy Osbourne: HELLO ACW! Y'know something? I KEPT HEARING that metal is dead, and Ozzy's dead and people that like Ozzy are dead. Yet I have NEVER had an empty seat, I've always sold out and I'm proving that once again tonight with all of you GREAT PEOPLE! Play the damn music! On his way to dinner when it took him by suprise! And with one pull of the trigger he would vanish overnight! Dancing by the roadside, holding on for dear life! Then a gun from out of nowhere made a widow of his wife!
I don't mind, single file down the runway! Feelin' fine, and I'll see you my friend! Over and over again!
Who can we get on the case? We need Danny Mainer! Someone to put you in place! Calling Danny Mainer! Danny during all this walks down the ramp and heads straight for the ring, as Ozzy continues to sing. Mainer slides into the ring and joins Homicide and Hughes for what will be one absolute balls-on awesome competition. He climbs into the ring and Ozzy and the band finish the song before packing up their stuff and heading backstage.Jones: And from Harlem, New York, weighing in at 265 pounds... he is THE HARLEM SUPERMAN CHRIIIIISS PHENOMENALLLLL! “Dead Wrong” fills the arena as Chris Phenomenal comes through the curtain, entertainment title around his waist as he stops at the top of the entrance ramp, his head down covered by a hooded sweat shirt. He makes the sign of the cross and then kisses his chain, holding it to his lips for a second all while swaying back and forth to the beat of the music. Chris then drops the chain from his hands throwing his arms out as the pyro’s on either side of the entrance ramp explode as he makes his way down to the entrance ramp before climbing in between the second and third ropes. Chris goes into his corner and throws a few punches at the turnbuckle, focused purely on the ring and nothing else. Finally he drops his hood and waits for the bell at which point he takes it off as well as the other accessories and is only then ready to go. Jones: And from Atlanta, Georgia weighing in at 226 pounds... he is Gingerdude's Handpicked competitor... TEE... EN... TEEEEEEEEEEE! "Line in the Sand" by Motorhead hits as the man himself walks out of that curtain. TNT does a pose for the audience who go damn wild over it in the marking out way even though he's a heel. He stares at that briefcase just like everyone before him and slides into the ring ready to compete. All five men exchange glances as they stand in a star five-point formation with equal space between each one as finally the bell rings. All look at the case, and finally it happens.

*Bell Rings*
Edison: And we are off!
The bell sounds to begin the contest however it does not spur any of the competitors into action as they all eye each cautiously, each of the men involved in this match is far too intelligent to make the first move and risk being caught off guard and getting a good beating from the other competitors in the match. The men all look to one another, nervously awaiting any sudden movement, waiting for an opening, the one opportunity they need to take charge of the match and gain the upper hand.
Edison: ...Why aren”t they doing anything McNally?
McNally: Well Eddie, these guys are all too smart to be jumping in and risk getting a beating, I think we”re in for quite a tentative start to this match-up. Think of it as a game of chess.
Edison: Great...Chess. That”s just what we need.
As always Maxwell McNally is spot on with his prediction of a tentative start to the match as our competitors begin to slowly circle around the ring in a clockwise fashion, darting glances at one another in the process. They all shoot looks to each other for a few moments before the majority of the competitors all come to the same realisation, unfortunately for Chris Phenomenal he is not one of these people, they all realise that one of the men in this ring has already wrestled a match tonight and must surely be exhausted from his efforts earlier in the night. Mainer, TNT, Homicide and Hughes all share an unsettling, slightly predatory look in their eyes as they all start to slowly inch towards the current Entertainment Champion Chris Phenomenal surrounding him in the process.
McNally: I would not want to be in Chris Phenomenal”s shoes right now Edison because it looks like he”s the man who has been singled out by the other competitors in this match.
Edison: I hear you on that one Maxie, he”s currently surrounded by a bunch of dudes I wouldn”t want to run into in a darkened alley. Those are some seriously dangerous people.
Like a pack of wolves the men start to circle Chris Phenomenal, trying to incite him into making a move so they can pick him apart like the rabid animals they are. Phenomenal, having battled impressively to keep hold of his prized Entertainment Championship earlier in the night, is clearly outnumbered and may well be outmatched by the task ahead of him, his head is anxiously darting around in an attempt to keep eyes on the men who are surrounding him.
McNally: This is a pretty sound strategy we”re seeing employed here, not only is Phenomenal the only man to have wrestled a match this evening but he”s also the biggest man in this match. Taking him out of the picture at this stage is a smart move.
Edison: I don”t really care about the strategies being employed McNally, I just want to see some action.
No sooner have those words escaped the mouth of Edison do we see our first flash of action when Lee Homicide rushes Chris Phenomenal from behind only to receive a hard back elbow to the face that sends him crashing to the mat clutching his face. Phenomenal turns his attention to the fallen Homicide momentarily, gifting the other three men the window of opportunity they need to launch an assault on the wounded gazelle that is the current Entertainment Champion Chris Phenomenal. The men launch themselves at Phenomenal, rushing him from behind and hitting him with a barrage of kicks, forearm strikes and clubbing blows that drop the big man to his knees. It”s Hughes that makes the first real attack, charging at Phenomenal for one his patented Yakuza Kicks aimed rather ominously at the temple of the fallen Entertainment Champion. Hughes lets out a loud roar that alerts Phenomenal to the incoming danger and he quickly reacts by ducking his head, narrowly avoiding serious damage. His good fortune does not last however as he is caught by Lee Homicide who executes a rather ferocious modified The Sick Roll neckbreaker, hit with a touch more intensity by way of a receipt for the rather brutal elbow he received at the hands of Chris Phenomenal a few moments ago. No sooner has Chris Phenomenal”s skull made contact with the canvas is his dragged off the mat by TNT who delivers a quick kick to the midsection before executing a perfectly executed Snap Suplex that causes the Entertainment Champ to grab the small of his back moments after impact.
McNally: These men are just picking Chris Phenomenal apart. It”s a shock to see these men working so well together considering what”s been going on in the past few weeks.
Edison: That”s what we always say in this situation Maxie, but these kind of alliances are usually short lived when the stakes are this high.
TNT rises his feet and admires the damage he has caused before looking to Danny Mainer in a ‘top that” fashion, Mainer shrugs to himself before dragging Chris Phenomenal to his feet and delivering a few open handed slaps to the face before launching into a rather impressive Spinning Dropkick that doesn”t manage to knock Phenomenal off his feet but instead knocks him backwards towards the path of Jonny Hughes who immediately grabs Phenomenal in a German Suplex clutch and attempts to execute a German Suplex which the Entertainment Champion easily blocks before delivering right and left elbow strikes to the side of Hughes” head, disorientating him in the process. Hughes staggers back as Phenomenal turns to face him, Hughes manages to get his bearings slightly and swings a wild right hook towards Phenomenal who parries the blow easily before quickly executing an over-the-shoulder arm drag that takes everyone by surprise.
Edison: Looks like Chris Phenomenal still has a little fight left in him Maxie!
McNally: Indeed he has Edison, a fact that seems to have taken many of us by surprise.
Edison: Not least Jonny Hughes Maxie! Look at the expression on his face!
Jonny Hughes goes flying across the ring and powders out to the outside, allowing him to gather his thoughts for a moment as he looks on in a state of shock/horror as he was clearly expecting Chris Phenomenal to have much less, if any, fight left in him. Danny Mainer is quick to spot the fact that Chris is on the verges of making a comeback and promptly decides to quash this uprising by delivering a quick elbow strike to the head of Chris which staggers him slightly, Mainer follows up the elbow with a high roundhouse kick to the head that Phenomenal manages to lessen the impact of by raising his arm up to block. Mainer continues his offensive with a right kick to the side of Phenomenal”s knees before darting towards the nearby ring ropes and Springboarding off them, spinning in mid air in the process before connecting with a Spinning Wheel Kick to the head of Phenomenal that drops him down to his feet. Lee Homicide spots an opportunity to get more revenge on Phenomenal and quickly drags him to his feet, delivering some quick chops to the chest of Chris as he makes his way to a standing position, he then tries to hoist the big man into a piggyback position, a set-up for the Cauterization, his trademark piggyback stunner technique, but realises that being a 170 pounder trying to lift a man who outweighs him by almost 100lbs is a bad idea, he once again tries to lift Phenomenal who counters with a swift elbow to the shoulder of Lee Homicide before spinning him around a hitting him with a brutal European Uppercut that lifts The Notorious 133 clean off his feet due to the ferocity of the blow.
Edison: Whoa! He”ll feel that in the morning!

Phenomenal is quick to spot an incoming TNT and executes a quick Arn Anderson inspired Spinebuster that sends TNT crashing hard into the mat, Phenomenal rises to his feet and looks around for another victim, but unbeknownst to him “Spitfire” Jonny Hughes has crawled his way back into the ring and is lying in wait, and charges at Danny Mainer, taking him down a beautiful high elevation dropkick which is made even more impressive considering the size of the current Entertainment Champion. Edison: Phenomenal is on fire here McNally! Phenomenal gets his to his feet and lets out a primal roar, showing that he”s not willing to take the beating the other competitors want to dish out, he turns around looking for the other man in this match only to get hit by a brutal kick direct to the face from “Spitfire” Jonny Hughes whose face is contorted into a rather unattractive grimace as he floors Phenomenal with his well timed and well placed kick. McNally: Looks to me like Jonny Hughes has seen enough here, I”d imagine that kick was in response to being embarrassed by that Judo throw earlier. Jonny Hughes stands above the Entertainment Champion, watching as he clutches his jaw after being hit with such an accurate high kick. He waits for Phenomenal to start to rise before delivering some pinpoint accuracy British Bulldog style stomps to the head and neck of the fallen man. He allows Chris to rise to his hands and knees before grabbing a handful of his hair and dragging his torso up so he’s simply kneeling before delivering a hard open handed overhand chop to the chest of Chris Phenomenal that draws the customary “WOOO” from the crowd, Hughes follows this chop up with a hard kick, delivered with such ferocity that it causes the big man to rock backwards. Hughes, unrelenting as ever, grabs hold of the Entertainment Champion and delivers yet another huge kick to the chest that sends Chris Phenomenal falling to the canvas. Hughes grabs hold of the champ”s head and drags him to his feet, eager to inflict more damage. He delivers a quick kick to the solar plexus that doubles Chris over, Hughes quickly grabs Phenomenal in a Suplex clutch and slowly drags his finger across his throat. McNally: Hughes is going for that leghook brainbuster pretty early here. Hughes quickly hoists Phenomenal in the air but is unable to execute his patented Dream Shatterer due to the impressive agility of Chris Phenomenal who has managed to flip through and land on his feet, a feat that draws many Oohs and Aahhs from the crowd. However Jonny Hughes always has a backup plan, just in case someone is able to escape the Dream Shatterer like Chris Phenomenal has done, and has quickly spun his way towards Chris Phenomenal who turns around just in time, unfortunately for him, to be caught hard in the face with the... Emerald Elbow~! The crowd erupts as they witness Chris Phenomenal”s face whip around violently after being caught by such a pure hard strike which sends Chris Phenomenal flying through the nearby ropes and out to the outside where he lands on the padded area around the ring with an almighty crash. Jonny Hughes respectfully pats his emerald green elbow pad in a mark of tribute to the recently deceased Mitsuharu Misawa, a gesture which garners some light applause from certain members of the crowd. Hughes turns back to the action in the center of the ring and finds himself face-to-face with Danny Mainer. The pair stare into each other”s eyes with great intensity, we all know that they”re never really enjoyed a “friendly” relationship over the past few years and all their ill will is coming to a boil here as they start trash talking each other, trading insults that are inaudible to the cameras at ringside. Suddenly they burst into action when Jonny Hughes throws a quick, hard chop at the chest of Danny Mainer who winces upon impact but quickly retaliates with one of his own. The pair exchange blow after blow, each one making an increasingly louder thud as the flesh meets flesh as the bone strikes bone. Danny Mainer decides that he’s had enough of chopping and delivers a quick kick to the chest of Jonny Hughes who seemingly absorbs his impact, making him even angrier than before. He flashes an angered glare at Danny Mainer and motions for him to throw another kick, a gesture which Mainer gladly obliges, striking Hughes with a sweet right kick that makes an almighty thud as Mainer”s boot makes contact with the bright pink flesh of Hughes” chest. However instead of falling back Jonny Hughes marches towards Danny Mainer and shoves him hard in the chest before shouting at him. Hughes: Is that all you”ve got?! Come on Motherfucker!Danny Mainer”s face paints a clear picture of an extremely confused man as he looks back to Jonny Hughes who is breathing heavily and motions for Mainer to come at him. Mainer shakes his head in disbelief before setting himself and delivering one more kick to Hughes, this time connecting with Hughes” face which sends him crashing back towards the corner of the ring where Mainer rushes him, delivering more chops and kicks in the corner. Edison: Damn! That had to hurt! McNally: You got that right Edison, it looks like Mainer had a little more in the tank than Hughes expected. Elsewhere we find Lee Homicide and TNT having a battle of their own, a battle which it appears that Lee Homicide is losing as we see TNT take Homicide down with a quick knee to the midsection followed up by a quickly executed Scoop Slam. TNT, being the bad lad that he is, decides to forgo the usual wrestling thing and instead proceeds to wrap his hands around the neck of Lee Homicide as he chokes him to within an inch of his life. The fans proceed to show TNT exactly how they feel about him taking such a cheap shortcut in an attempt to gain victory by filling the arena with an intimidating level of booing and hissing which only seems to serve as fuel for the fire that is TNT”s aggression. The loudmouthed superstar releases his hold on Lee Homicide only to drag him up to his feet and hit him with a swift knee to the midsection which he follows up with a very deliberately aimed right hand that connects firmly with the chin of Lee Homicide, sending him crashing to the mat as TNT gestures to the crowd, riling them up in the process. TNA may have been away from ACW for a while but he certainly hasn”t forgotten how to get under the skin of the ACW fans and he is seemingly enjoying every second of the action as a huge smile spreads across his face. He stalks Lee Homicide, waiting patiently for him to stir to his feet before he delivers a quick facebuster and points to the ropes, signalling for Air TNT. McNally: Here”s a move we haven”t seen in a while Edison.

TNT charges for the ropes and elegantly springboards off them, performing a moonsault in mid air, however Lee Homicide manages to roll out of the way, a fact which has not gone amiss with TNT who acrobatically manages to land on his feet, avoiding doing himself any major damage by missing the moonsault, he staggers up to a vertical base only to be caught in the head by a discus elbow smash which Homicide quickly follows up with a his Snapmare, Chop, Kick combination move. The camera moves back to the battle between Danny Mainer and Jonny Hughes which has made its way out of the corner and into the center of the ring. Hughes has managed to get a bit of distance between himself and Mainer by delivering a quick headbutt that staggers The Psycho Butcher, Hughes notices that smashing his head into Mainer”s seems to be an effective strategy and he approaches Mainer, delivering another headbutt that drops him to his knees, Jonny slowly approaches Mainer and grabs hold of his hair before spitting in the face of Danny Mainer, a move with only infuriates Mainer who decides enough is enough and gouges at the eyes of Jonny Hughes before quickly getting to his feet and delivering a few stiff kicks to the legs that rock “Spitfire”. Mainer continues his offensive by locking in a wrist lock before kicking Hughes square in the gut before executing an elegant headscissors takedown that propels Hughes across the ring. The moody Brit drags himself to his feet using the ropes in an attempt to lessen the burden such an activity would have on his already tired body. Danny Mainer spots that fact that Hughes” guard appears to be down and charges for him, arm outstretched in an attempt to clothesline him out of the ring. Hughes is quick to spot Mainer and manages to drag the rope down and duck under Mainer”s clothesline attempt whilst sending The Psycho Butcher crashing to the outside.
McNally: Looks like Jonny Hughes may have fooled Danny Mainer there.
The man known as “Spitfire” smirks as he looks down to the outside where Danny Mainer is laying clutching his back and Chris Phenomenal is still shaking the cobwebs out after being struck by the Emerald Elbow a few minutes ago. Hughes then turns back to the center of the ring where he spots Lee Homicide executing a rather impressive Monkey Flip on TNT in the corner of the ring, Hughes picks his spot and catches Homicide just as he gets up to his feet with a well executed Rolling Japanese Armdrag which he cockily kips up after and extends his arms in a rather arrogant pose, an action which draws the ire of the fans in attendance. Hughes turns around to spot TNT getting to his feet and their eyes meet and it appears they are on the same wavelength as they both look to the fallen Lee Homicide, the arrogant duo approach Homicide and drag him to his feet. Hughes delivers a kick to the gut which TNT follows up with a hard right hand delivered square to the chin of Homicide. The pair force Lee Homicide to the corner and Irish Whip him hard into the opposite turnbuckle with enough force to knock the young man to the mat after impact. The pair drag the helpless Homicide to his feet and force him against the ropes before Irish whipping him against the ropes and catching him with a double back elbow strike.
McNally: Hughes and TNT working well together here which can only mean bad things for the other competitors in this match.
Edison: Looks like Danny Mainer and that ladder have something to say about that Maxie!
The camera pans out to reveal Danny Mainer sliding into the ring holding a ladder, he raises the ladder above his shoulders and smashes TNT hard in the back with it, making a sickening crash as the hard steel makes contact with body of TNT. Hughes turns around to get a face full of the end of the ladder, Hughes reels away clutching his face to check for bleeding but is not given a moment to rest by Mainer who continues his ladder assault by driving Hughes into the corner using the length of the ladder to aid him. Mainer then smashes the ladder into Hughes” chest a few times, each blow making a sickening sound as the steel makes blistering contact with the flesh of Hughes” chest, which is already red raw thanks to an earlier exchange with Danny Mainer. Once Mainer is satisfied with the destruction he has caused to Hughes he turns around to see Lee Homicide slowly getting to his feet, Mainer charges at Homicide, with the ladder raised high above his head, and catches him hard in the face with the cold hard steel. Mainer surveys the scene, he knows that Phenomenal is stirring on the outside but that shouldn”t concern him too much, he looks back to Hughes who is still clutching his chest trying to get his breath back after being crushed in the corner by Mainer and that ladder, Mainer looks down to Lee Homicide who is rolling around in agony after being caught in the face by the edge of the ladder. Mainer does a bit of mental arithmetic and realises that something is amiss, or rather, someone is amiss. He turns around to spot TNT standing on the top rope. TNT dives into the air and stretches himself out, getting incredible air as he performs a rather breathtaking crossbody to Danny Mainer.
Edison: Look out below!
Look out is all Danny Mainer can do as TNT crashes down on him, landing on the ladder that Mainer is holding which makes an almighty crash as we see Danny Mainer get crushed beneath the weight of both the steel ladder and TNT who bounces high in the air after impact and rolls around clutching his ribs. Elsewhere we see Chris Phenomenal finally re-emerge from the outside as he slides into the ring clutching a steel chair, he looks for the nearest standing person, who just happens to be Jonny Hughes, and smashes him hard over the head with the chair, sending him falling to the canvas in a lifeless fashion as his entire body seems to have turned to jelly after the chairshot. Phenomenal hurls abuse at Hughes as he lies motionless on the floor, Chris turns back to face Lee Homicide who has managed to drag himself to his feet. Phenomenal slowly raises the chair above his shoulders, Homicide spots the incoming danger and manages to raise his arm and parry the incoming chairshot, although this block does not come without receiving a bit of pain from having a steel chair hit him on the arm but I digress, Homicide then leaps into the air and connects with a dropkick that sends the steel chair crashing back into the face of Chris Phenomenal who goes flying into the corner. Homicide quickly gets to his feet and looks around, all the other competitors are down and out and when he realises this he spots his opportunity. His head slowly tilts back as he looks up at the briefcase that is suspended in the air above him, he then looks down to the ladder that is currently laying on top of Danny Mainer and smiles.
McNally: I think Lee Homicide is going to be the first of our competitors here tonight to make an effort on taking down that briefcase Edison.
Edison: Well he”d better do it fast Maxie!
Homicide rushes over to the ladder and drags it off of Danny Mainer, he then positions it in the center of the ring and sets it, making sure that is it nice and sturdy before he attempts to climb it. He then checks around him once more, just to make sure that nobody is playing dead and waiting to strike him as soon as he heads up the ladder before planting his right foot on the first rung of the ladder....
Lee Homicide scales the ladder all by himself, the crucible contract in his sites as he goes hand over hand, nary ten feet away from the briefcase. All is not to be however as Danny Mainer springs away from the massive clusterfuck presently ensuing and leaps onto the ladder in hot pursuit of Lee Homicide, grabbing a hold of his foot and trying to pull him off. With his destiny so close however Lee is not going to give in, managing to gut Mainer off of the ladder tumbling back down into the fray as TNT and Jonny Hughes brawl back and forth, with Chris Phenomenal sliding back in the ring on the opposite end trying to seize the opportunity. It doesn’t take long however for him to lock eyes with Lee Homicide, the familiar foes pausing for a second before Chris springs into gear sprinting up the ladder as fast as Lee Homicide, the two reaching the top and not wasting a second in renewing hostilities, exchanging lefts and rights, back and forth, on the top of the ladder, trying to knock the other off and snatch the case. TNT in the meanwhile, hits Jonny Hughes with a big right hand, turning him right into Danny Mainer trying to scale the ladder himself, which knocks him over and gives them pause for a moment. TNT takes the time alone to use Danny Mainer as a vault as he tries to recover, leaping off and unlocking the ladder as Chris Phenomenal throws a punch at Lee Homicide, the transfer of weight however leads to some dire consequences as the ladder starts to tip over. Chris Phenomenal realizing this early enough jumps off and lands in the corner, going directly at Danny Mainer trying to get back to his feet. Lee Homicide isn’t so lucky however as by the time he leaps he sails over the top rope and goes crashing to the floor below, the ladder hitting the top rope, and then tipping over itself as the rope bends back after Chris irish whips Danny into the ropes looking to take him out with a vicious clothesline. TNT delivers a swift boot to the sternum of Jonny Hughes, stunning him for a moment before ducking out of the ring and searching for a ladder of his own, before spotting them to his left as he promenades that way as in the ring, Chris misses with the clothesline but connects on the rebound with a vicious Double A spine buster on Danny Mainer, once again taking the brunt of the beating.
McNally: So what can you make of this so far Eddie?
Edison: At this point, I’m not quite sure.
TNT has now pulled out the ladder and looks to lift it up onto the apron but is caught by Jonny Hughes, getting revenge for earlier transgressions with a Spitfire Suicide Dive through the ropes catching TNT and taking him down against the barricade as the two appear to be out of action for the next bit. Back in the ring, Lee Homicide has thrown the ladder that nearly crushed him earlier back in the ring as Chris Phenomenal turns his attention to Lee Homicide in the way of a big right hand and snags control of the ladder, bringing it under the contract. Lee Homicide however is not going to give into Chris, leaping into him with a vicious Ace cutter, planting him onto the ladder. Lee rolls Chris off of the ladder and goes to set it up, positioning it and starts to climb up but once again Chris is in hot pursuit, the ace cutter only having served to stun him for a brief moment. Once again they scale the ladder and brawl on top, quite possibly the two favourites in this match not willing to see the other win. Chris slams the face of Lee onto the top of the ladder and looks to knock him off with a stiff right but Lee counters with an elbow of his own that staggers Chris as Danny Mainer stirs in the corner, Chris nearly steps onto the top step in order to hit Lee Homicide with a European uppercut, and then follows it up with a set of jabs, stunning him enough to allow Chris to throw him off the edge landing on top of Hughes and TNT brawling on the outside as they go stumbling back down. Chris goes up one more step, almost on the perch and reaches for the case grabbing a hold trying to unlatch it.
McNally: Chris Phenomenal is going to do it.
Edison: He said he was going to walk out with the title around his waist and the crucible contract in his hand and he’s going to do it.
Not quite, Eddie and Max have spoke to soon as Danny Mainer, this match possibly being his last chance at making his mark in ACW grabs a hold of his ankle and yanks him off, causing himself to go stumbling off as there rivalry resumes with Danny whipping Chris into the ropes sending him flying over to the outside below, and following in hot pursuit. This leaves an opening for Jonny Hughes scampering into the ring as Lee Homicide and TNT brawl on the outside, appearing like there’s nothing between him and the crucible contract, the opportunist throughout the past eight weeks once again stealing the match. Step by step, climbing the ladder until Danny Mainer hits Chris with an angry pirate and realizing Jonny Hughes is climbing the ladder scampers back into the ring, and seeing Mainer, Hughes abandons his pursuit of the contract and leaps off the ladder, not wanting to leave himself in a precarious position. Mainer slides into the ring and Hughes doesn’t allow him to get up as he puts the boots to Danny Mainer as Chris looks back at the ring, suffienciently recovered and wants a piece of action, grabbing the ladder on the outside of the ring that TNT had previously pulled out, and batters both Lee and TNT with it, taking them both down before throwing it into the ring, landing in the corner and than grabbing a steel chair and rolling into the ring with it in hand.
Edison: I’m presuming Chris doesn’t want a closer seat to the action.
Max chuckles at ringside at the wit of Eddie as Jonny Hughes having stunned Danny Mainer connects with a vicious Yakuza kick, knocking Mainer backwards. Jonny turns around and sees Chris Phenomenal steel chair in hand, and braces himself for a fight. Chris surprises Jonny however by tossing him the chair, Jonny catching it in surprise. This maybe wasn’t the best idea though as Chris Phenomenal takes his fist and Superman punches the chair into his face, knocking Jonny flat right next to the fallen Danny Mainer. Chris takes a few moments to gloat, this allows Lee Homicide to sneak into the ring after levelling TNT with a discuss elbow but not quite possibly as stealth fully as he would think as when he goes to kick Chris he ducks it and throws him out of the ring, flying over Danny Mainer and Jonny Hughes. With all four men seemingly out of commission Chris looks at the ladder, still standing underneath the crucible contract and begins his ascent, hand over hand, slowly climbing to the top as everyone in attendance is hushed.
McNally: Chris Phenomenal has it.
Chris appears to be right there but out of nowhere TNT comes into view, flying through the ring spring boarding off the top rope and landing on the ladder, now neck and neck with Chris Phenomenal the two brawl at the top, TNT stepping over the top of the ladder on his side now him and Chris sharing one small step as they exchange blows. TNT connects with a hammer of a punch and quite possibly the fatigue of Chris Phenomenal is setting in as he isn’t able to block the blow, knocking Chris off so he’s unstable. TNT looks at Chris and then leaps off the ladder, catching Chris as he goes and the two go tumbling off, TNT connecting with a massive diamond cutter on Chris Phenomenal who appears to be knocked out on impact as he lies on the edge of the ring apron, eventually falling off.
Edison: HOLY SHIT!
McNally: I’m not sure we can say that on air Eddie.
Edison: I don’t care, did you just see that?!

The damage to TNT is also prevalent though as he arches his back on the landing and rolls to the outside to recuperate, the ladder lying on a diagonal against the top rope as it tipped over after the massive diamond cutter. Jonny Hughes is still recovering but Lee Homicide is sliding back into the ring, heading right for the ladder, adjusting it so he’s right under the contract and then starting to climb as Danny Mainer, having recovered from the brutal yakuza kick climbs in hot pursuit. The two exchange in a slug fest on the top, of the ladder, Mainer eventually getting the better of Lee sending him tumbling off the ladder down to the canvas as TNT slides back into the ring with Jonny Hughes and in a brief moment of teamwork lift the ladder up and send it over to the rope, dumping it out of the ring with Mainer hanging on for dear life and then goes crashing into the crowd. Edison: Oh my science! McNally: This type of match is your wet dream, isn’t it Eddie? The dig of Eddie by Max does not go unnoticed, nor does the end of the brief partnership as Hughes and TNT begin brawling and Lee Homicide jumps right back into the fray, wanting to get a brief measure of revenge on either man. They brawl back and forth trying to gain the advantage over the other. Hughes gets floored by a stiff right from TNT but that’s possibly for the better as TNT and Lee both go for a devastating roundhouse kick, connecting at the same time knocking one another over presenting another golden opportunity for Jonny Hughes who can’t believe his good fortune. This doesn’t halt him though as he takes two steps up the ladder until he is by Chris Phenomenal and his chair, thrown from the outside which draws his attention as Chris slides back into the ring. Jonny tries to beat Chris up the ladder and quickly take down the case but that doesn’t work out to well for him, Chris following him up and pulling on his leg until he’s nearly even with him. Hughes goes for a big right hand but Chris is able to duck this one, quite possibly thrown with a little too much loop and it leaves Jonny off balance enough so that Chris is able to lift him up into a backdrop position and leap off the top rope backwards, connecting with a devastating backdrop driver onto the ladder that for the past few minutes has gone previously un noticed in the corner. Edison: This has been incredible, I haven’t been this excited since Christmas. McNally: Perfect. Chris rolls to his feet as Lee Homicide and TNT still are down after the devastating kicks. Chris looks at the ladder still standing and spying no one moving surprisingly doesn’t scale it, instead sliding out of the ring and grabbing a third ladder, the cause of which is unknown until he slides it back into the ring and wedges it between the second and first ropes, and then places Lee Homicide and TNT in between it, pinning them in a modified jail cell as they both start to stir. Chris looks for Danny Mainer, and doesn’t see him, still somewhere in the crowd of people. Jonny Hughes still appears to be out cold and finally satisfied Chris begins to scale the ladder, figuring the contract is all his. The time he took to make sure everything was in order though cost him, as TNT and Lee, despite their previous differences work together to go after Chris, totally unaware of what is going on. Lee and TNT bang at the ladder, separating it from the turnbuckles as TNT grabs a hold and sets it up nearest the contract, as Lee Homicide goes over to the fallen Jonny Hughes and does much the same, forming a triangle around the contract, as TNT and Lee scamper up after Chris Phenomenal, reaching the top of his ladder trying to get the contract unhooked, before he’s intercepted by TNT and Lee Homicide, attacking him with rights and lefts but Chris isn’t going to give in, not by a long shot as he comes back with some fists of his own. The two brawl back and forth until eventually they starting swaying banging into each other as neither man is willing to give in. This eventually proves to be their downfall, literally as eventually they consistent banging and swaying causing the ladders to top over, all three men attached. Lee once again doesn’t hit the ground that well, landing awkwardly on his arm, as Chris lands on his feet and TNT takes it on his back, as the ladder TNT was on tumbles down to the floor beside him. Mainer is still down and there’s little sign of life from Jonny Hughes, the possibility of some serious damage being done by Chris Phenomenal. Edison: I love the smell of carnage in the evening. Chris ducks out of the ring and throws another steel chair into the ring before walking over towards TNT as finally Jonny Hughes starts stirring in the corner. Chris then peaks over the barrier where Danny Mainer flew into the crowd and spies him leaning against the barricade, trying to compose himself as he pulls a plastic fork out of his arm. Chris smiles and waves at him playfully before turning his attention back to the match, grabbing the ladder and trying to wedge the ladder between the ring apron and the barricade and succeeding before sliding into the ring, his focus turning to Lee Homicide who’s just getting to his feet. This isn’t to be however as TNT looks to blind side him but Chris catches him just in time with a huge back body drop, over the top rope and onto the ladder which crumples under the force of TNT as Chris looks disappointed at the ruins of his ornate set up. Chris murmuring under his breath as he turns his attention back to Lee Homicide, not quite to his feet as Jonny Hughes stands in the corner slowly rising. Chris takes the time to grab hold of the ladder and position it under the contract as he turns and looks at Lee Homicide as he circles around, and in turn Jonny Hughes stumbling out of his corner and circling them. The atmosphere is tense until they turn around at the yell of one Danny Mainer, two Singapore canes in hand standing atop the top rope, a ninja headband now donning his forehead. Chris ducks out of the ring and throws another steel chair into the ring before walking over towards TNT as finally Jonny Hughes starts stirring in the corner.

The atmosphere is tense until they turn around at the yell of one Danny Mainer, two Singapore canes in hand standing atop the top rope, a ninja headband now donning his forehead. Edison: What in the frig?! McNally: I think Mainer's just gone postal! Mainer jumps off the top rope after a bellowing war cry, all eyes turned on him as he leaps off of the top rope and lands on both feet in the corner of the ring. Hughes tries it on first and runs towards The Psycho Butcher only to get swatted in the stomach by an angry Danny Mainer. He parries around and lunges at Homicide with the head shot swatting him like a fly. Homicide hits the deck as Hughes then takes two canes to the ears causing him to growl uncontrollably at the immense pain in his sensitive ears. He turns to see Phenomenal as the last man standing and Homicide slowly getting up, two on one situation. Homicide flanks the left and Phenomenal flanks the right, while Mainer just does a forward roll to the other side through the middle of them both. Mainer stands solitary as both men look for a weakness in his stance. He twirls the deadly kendo sticks around his wrists looking all pimp and whatnot as they wait for the opening to disarm Mainer. Phenomenal sees Homicide leaning in closer than he is and sees opportunity, he swerves to the right and grabs Homicide by the shoulders. Lee's eyes go big with fright as Phenomenal puts the boot right into the ass sending him at rapid speeds towards Mainer. Mainer dodges out of the way and lunges forward with a gut shot to the left, a shot to the bicep, a knife-edge singapore chop to the chest and a low-shot to the right shin. Phenomenal hops up and down clutching his leg in the centre of the ring. McNally: Look at this!!! Mainer's going mental! Edison: It's like Ninja Gaiden or Tenchu or some crap like that! Mainer hunches low like a turtle and does a 360 spin before leaping up gracefully, his back arching as the cane reaches its full peak only to be smashed right into the forehead of Phenomenal. WHA-PSH! Phenomenal: HO-SHIT that hurt!He falls backwards as Homicide turns from the corner and sees that Phenomenal is down. Seeing only the same fate for himself he blindly charges at Mainer with a running kick but as if he's got eyes in the back of the head he swings around and sends Homicide to the mat clipping him in the back of the leg that's still rooted on the ground. His foot tripped out from underneath him, Mainer is left as the sole survivor. He takes a moment to enjoy the scene, seeing that TNT is out of the ring and Phenomenal, Hughes and Homicide have all recently been subdued by that kendo stick. Having won a three on one situation, he takes the singapore canes and twists them into his belt loops for safe-keeping. He folds his arms, then strikes a quick ninja pose which gets the crowd going. Mainer then grabs the ladder and sets it up dead centre of the ring. He stands on Homicide's stomach as he climbs up the first rung of the ladder. With each step he takes, he gets closer and closer to the ladder and Homicide gets closer and closer to waking up. He shakes his head and sits up, rolling around to the other side of the ladder to face Mainer. Scaling it slowly, tension hits high as these two rivals go face to face on top of that ladder. Soon, the strikes are thrown as they both try and knock each other off the ladder. Mainer grabs Homicide by the head and slams him face-first into the top rung of the ladder before vaulting foreward with a Sunset Flip. Lee holds on for dear life as Mainer attempts the first powerbomb in his life. Edison: OH NO! Sunset Flip Powerbomb! THAT'S new! McNally: Shut up Eddie. And with that, it appears that Homicide gives way but only to twist with a Hurricanrana which sends Mainer flying over the top rope and crashing to the apron, NOT to the mat. TNT returns to the ring to see Homicide once again scaling the ladder. TNT climbs up the other side of the ladder at a much quicker pace then Homicide so both men meet at the same time. Shots fly at each others heads, nobody can really tell who's going to win as they trade back and forth at the top of the ladder. Homicide slams TNT's head into the top rung and reaches up for the case out of desperation, only for a fist to be driven right into the knackersack of one Lee Homicide. The crowd sees it and groans in empathy for Homicide who clutches his genitals and teeters off the ladder, crashing to the floor. TNT, alone on the ladder is blissfully unaware that Jonny Hughes is right behind him clutching a steel chair on both hands. As TNT reaches up for that sacred, golden briefcase with one hand his spine is dented by a wicked shot from the black steel chair. TNT falls off to the side giving Hughes way to climb that ladder. He quickly makes his way up, but something catches his eye at the bottom of the ladder. Lee Homicide, just lying there doing nothing. He sits on the top of the ladder, the title case just ready for him to take. He is completely unopposed and unchallenged now as Mainer lies on the apron, TNT is clutching the small of his back and Phenomenal is doing God knows what after that kendo stick attack. Hughes could just bag this one right now... but then he took a chance. McNally: Come on Hughes! Live your dream, take a chance! Reach for that case! It's all yours! Edison: THIS IS IT! HUGHES is the CRUCIBLE WINNER! TAKE THE CASE JONNY! THE STAGE IS ALL YOURS! Then he did something, NOBODY expected. He jumped. McNally: OH... MY... GOOOOOOODNNESSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Edison: OH MY GOD! THE ODE TO DYNAMITE TO HOMICIDE RIGHT OFF THAT LADDER!!! DAAAANGERROUUUUUUSSSSS!

Homicide is COMPLETELY devastated as like the commentators say, Hughes leaps off the ladder completely uncharacteristically and crashes head-first into Homicide with a horrific, car-wreck style Ode to Dynamite! Homicide throws a complete and utter eppy on the mat and so too does Hughes who probably took about as much damage from the shot as Homicide did. Both Hughes and Homicide after a good 10 seconds of screaming agony decide to roll out of the ring for a breather. Both men land with a thump as "Ay-Cee-Dub" chants echo throughout for the building. A brief shot of Homicide's face shows a stream of blood from where Hughes's head hit dead on and he kinda' just shakes it off before dropping dead outside of the ring. Hughes is just flat on his back starting to hide underneath the ring apron as an instant replay of the ladder spot is shown to fill time. The brutal impact, the collision, it's shown in glorious slow-motion caputring Lee's shock, and the gasping of the audience at Jonny going boldly where he's never been before. Back in the ring, TNT and Phenomenal are up to their feet. Phenomenal has been playing it cool for a while, just biding his time but by no means is he completely recovered after his previous fight and now his progess so far. TNT and Phenomenal stand to attention as Mainer rolls back into the ring with both his singapore canes. He hops up to his feet, and all three men circle around the central ladder exchanging glances. TNT and Chris unarmed, Mainer with his kendo sticks. It seems to be equal, with the two bigger man having no weapons and the little guy having his make-shift samurai swords. So, the stare-down commences.
McNally: Three men, centre of the ring, one ladder, one briefcase. Very fitting that it should be the creator, his biggest rival and the legend that it boils down to!
Edison: Well I'd normally rule you out and say that those five men are all threats to the airbourne safety of that case, but after Hughes twisted little dive I'm gonna' agree with you!
With that, Phenomenal and TNT, the heels in this fight trade glances. They grab the ladder and throw it sideways, clattering into Mainer's face. Mainer drops both his canes and Phenomenal and TNT quickly grab them as Mainer gets out of dodge back to the security of the apron as these two wild lionhearts go at it with the kendo sticks. They clash like lightning, echoing throughout the ring. Both men then nod and throw them to one side realizing they won't get anywhere with the swordfight. Collar and Elbow Tie-Up, TNT dodges behind Phenomenal and attempts a German Suplex but Phenomenal powers out of it with an elbow aimed towards TNT's head. TNT ducks it and ends up being locked in the Front Face Lock Position. Fore-arms to the back shrugs Chris off and they end up back in Collar and Elbow position. They shrug again and go for the ladder. Setting it up dead centre in the middle of the ring, TNT and Phenomenal both start to scale a side of the ladder as Danny Mainer rolls back in slowly. Phenomenal spots this and drops off the ladder leaving TNT some time to recover as Phenomenal runs over to Mainer to deliver a Superman Punch right into the face. Mainer covers his face in sheer agony and drops to the ground, his offence having been killed just as quickly as it was reborn. Phenomenal sees TNT reaching for that case, so he grabs one of the dropped singapore canes and smacks TNT's hand way like an angry, albeit sexy teacher with the glasses and the over the knee skirt and... I'm getting distracted. TNT winces as Phenomenal drops the cane and climbs the ladder, these two warriors looking to take home a win tonight. TNT, to reclaim his legacy, Phenomenal to be 2-0 at Omega Effect in one night. It's intense.
McNally: We are down to two ladies and gentlemen and I'd hate to be the loser of this contest after all of these men have put their lives on the line for that briefcase!
Edison: YEAAAAAAH! Alright! ROCK ON! It's gonna' be TNT or Chris Phenomenal walking home with that case!
This is it, it's down to the final two. Punch after punch after punch is traded with no sign of anyone giving up any time soon is shown, soup and bones and all that cliched stuff is being traded. Shot after shot, strike after strike, TNT delivers a poke to Phenomenal's eye which causes him to slip down a rung in defence. TNT reaches for the case but gets whalloped in the stomach for good measure. Phenomenal grabs TNT's head and holds him in a front face lock and reaches up for that briefcase, but TNT punches him in the ribs in return as Phenomenal tries desperately to reach the case. Phenomenal lashes wicked fore-arm strikes to the back, clutching his head and dragging him over the ladder as the crowd expect a DDT or a Suplex or some kind of sick fuck manoeuvre. Like you'd expect, Chris hooks the arm over his head and starts to crank up trying to get that Suplex sending TNT from the top of the ladder all the way to the ring. However, TNT won't budge and continues with strikes to the back of Phenomenal. Finally, Phenomenal gives way and TNT recorrects his stance but only as he straightens himself out does he relaize the danger he is in. Phenomenal shows INCREDIBLE agility as he leaps around the ladder and crushes TNT alive with a SLINGBLADE OFF THE LADDERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
McNally: RAINING MACKAREL! Did you see that?!?!
Edison: You bet your ass I did! Holy SHIIIIIIIIII-
McNally: Danger-?
Edison: DANGEROUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A broken back may be the least of TNT's trouble as after Phenomenal's daring display it's safe to say that he won't be going up. Phenomenal rolls onto his front, clutching his spine obviously hurt from the huge attack but not enough to be subdued for any lengthy period of time. Phenomenal clutching his back and ribs starts to scale the ladder, albeit taking his time as he's gone and done away with the competition though. What he doesn't notice however is not a disturbance in any of the competitors, but a disturbance in the crowd. He climbs taking short steps, few and far in between as a voice that's all too familiar to the unconscious Danny Mainer can be heard from the audience. As soon as that pitch hits his ears, his eyes shoot wide and he looks into the crowd for the source of the angelic voice.
? ? ?: "DANNY!"
Like a moment from Rocky, Danny sees that face of Caitlynn Dufraisne sitting in the front row, looking at him with those all too familiar, glossy pleading eyes. Like a key in the ignition, it's then when Danny's body goes into overdrive. Second wind ahoy baby, because as Chris Phenomenal slowly reaches the top rung he's not aware of the Mustang that's about to cut him down. Danny looks towards the ladder and everything just appears dark, except for the glowing rungs of the ladder and Chris Phenomenal trying to take that briefcase. No, not like this, this is NOT how it's going to end. With that, Danny takes in every scrap of energy and lets out a bellowing war cry that will be heard throughout valleys, and mountains, and scare deers and stuff. It's that epic.
Danny Mainer: "Cai-...-CaITLYYYYYYYYYYYYNN"[/color]
Caitlynn Dufraisne: "Oh Danny!"

Go time. Mainer, like a zombie rockets from the grave and at lightning fast pace storms up that ladder to get face to face with the dazed Chris who's reaching that ladder. Seeing Mainer charge up the rungs like a buffalo is a bit of a wake-up call and before he's had time to blink, the two arch-rivals are face to face once again. The trade-off, shots from the left and shots to the right. Mainer uses martial arts blocking, but can't seem to get a good clean shot in on the street fighter. Hitting a shot to the ribs, Mainer quickly reaches up to snatch that contract right in front of the eyes of Chris Phenomenal but it doesn't work and Mainer gets a punch to the throat for his measure. Mainer almost damn-right falls off the ladder then and there, swinging around to hit the mat he sees the crowd as he turns his foot being wrenched to the ground by gravity but as he sees those blue eyes once again his invigouration is restored. Both feet back on the rungs, Mainer sees Chris just preparing to lift that contract right off the hinge and devastates him right a returning fire knife edge chop right to the chest. Phenomenal yells with desperation, pissed off that he just won't stay down. Mainer shoots forth lightning with a right hand to the head. Then, he grabs Phenomenal's head and slams it into the top rung as once again, he goes to shoot for lightning again... Or in this case, Thunder. Edison: What in the name of Megatron is that asshole doing?!?!?! McNally: That wrestler is about to end the contest right here! Edison: But he can't do that move, he just has flashbacks and dribbles like a damn diabetic in a pizzeria! McNally: Not anymore... And rightly so McNally, Danny leaps forward and just like the last Omega Effect in his victory over Jake Cheng he delivers his trademark Thundercrash and he goes ALL the way to town on it. It seems impossible that someone with that frame would be able to go over, but he did and Phenomenal wasn't conscious to see the action replay. Mainer landing right on his ass was one hell of a painful experience, and it doesn't even feel like he can move his legs. It feels like serious damage has been done, but what does Mainer care? The fans, egging him on makes Mainer realize that this is it. His dream WILL come true, all the pieces of the puzzle are once again in place and Mainer finally has his life back. Climbing up that ladder, with use of stunted legs and his powerful arms he wrenches and claws his way to that final top rung. Jonny Hughes is OUT, Lee Homicide is OUT, TNT is OUT, Chris Phenomenal is sure as Hell OUT after having the Thundercrash from that ladder. Mainer, reaches up and sits comfortable on that top rung. He reaches up, putting both hands on the prize that he created and lusted after. Danny slowly, surely, lifting that briefcase up takes one last look at his woman and then, cue the bell. DINGDINGDING! Jones: HERE is your winner of the first ever Crucible contest... DANNNNYYYYYY MAIIIINNEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Edison: Oh my God! I can't believe that! He actually did it?! McNally: You bet your behind he did, and in what better fashion! Eddie, look at that man up there! Look at his wrestling career, look at his classic matches with everyone he's stepped into the ring with. TELL ME that that man doesn't deserve this! Edison: I'm still in shock that he's actually walking away the winner here! This was AWESOME! McNally: Awesome it was, it was a thirty minute pile-up and the scars may never heal but this match TRULY has one of the grandest finishes I've ever seen! Props to all five men here, because they ALL could've walked away with that contract, but in the end the brainchild behind all this Danny Mainer leaves supreme! Edison: And think about it, think about Chris Phenomenal who has ALREADY competed in a match tonight only to go ahead and be mere seconds away from winning the whole damn thing! He woulda' done it too if Mainer hadn't got that second wind! Dropping from the ladder, Mainer slides out of the ring to celebrate with the audience. He high-fives the shit outta' some people as the blood dribbles down from his head after the Superman Punch he got from Phenomenal before. All the battles, all the wars, Danny Mainer is finally The Crucible Champion.FADE

Any Last Words? By Dave Shadow & Thunder Train McNally: Well, ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we have the pleasure of being able to conduct an interview with the current International Champion, Thunder Train. As we cut to the next segment, Edison and McNally sit at their announcers table, as the crowd behind them jump round like excited school kids, hoping to be recognised by their friends back home. Up on the big screen for the fans in the arena, and being cut back and forth to on the TV screens as he answers the questions, Thunder Train sits backstage somewhere. The International title is positioned proudly over his shoulder for everyone to have a good look at, and Train looks very content.McNally: Well, Train. You’re only a short time off having to defend your International Title against the man some people are saying could be the biggest threat to your reign yet, Dave Shadow. I guess what we’d like to know is where your head is right now, going into this match? Thunder Train: My goal right now is to finish him off as soon as possible so I won't have to worry about him later on.Edison: What about the leg, Train? We saw Dave Shadow target it just over a week ago when he assaulted you with the chair. Surely, an injury like that can’t have healed yet. Thunder Train: That's where you are mistaken. The doctor's have helped me and they saw that the damage wasn't as severe as they originally thought. This leg is almost 100% I can guarantee you that my leg won't be an issue out there tonight. Not like he'll ever have the chance to mess with it anyway.McNally: Last week, you confronted Gingerdude and demanded that your match with Shadow was to be an Iron Man match. Can I ask why? Thunder Train: I think it's because Gingerdude is afrai--? ? ?: Woah, woah, woah. Train. I’m afraid I can’t take this anymore.The screen now splits in two. Train sits on one side, looking like he’s getting increasingly more pissed off, not happy at this interruption. The man who takes up the other half of the screen is none other than his opponent for the night....Dave Shadow. He stands backstage in his dressing room, dressed in his full wrestling gear. The fact he can berate Train without being in the same room as him adds an air of confidence to Dave’s demeanour.Dave: Train, you can sit back there and talk your bullshit all you want. But you know, I know, and everyone watching knows that your reign is about to come to a dramatic ending.Thunder Train: That's quite some big talk coming from such a small man.Dave: Screw you Train. I’m no longer intimidated by you. Tonight, I get the chance of a lifetime. Not only do I get the chance to take that prestigious title away from your grubby hands, but I get to show the world for the loser you really are. I get to take another step in my plans to clean up this promotion. Tonight Train, that title is coming home with someone who truly deserves it, and who can bring its credibility back up to the level it deserves.Thunder Train: You know what Dave. I’m sick of you running your mouth constantly. I’ll give you this. You know how to give a speech. Unfortunately, I’m more of a physical guy. Something you’re going to find out tonight when I get you in that ring and I beat you down. And the fun of an Iron Man match is that once I beat you, I can pick you back up and beat you again. And again. And again. And as many times as necessary until you get the point.Dave: Train, I’m glad you’re so confident. You seem to think that this is going to be a walk in the park. I’ll give you that you’re bigger and stronger than me. But the fact I know this means I’ve already planned around it. I have advantages. I’m smaller, and thus quicker. You may be a whale, but I’m a tarantula. Size isn’t everything Train. I will pick away at you, weakening you down over 45 minutes, while you struggle to even catch me. I can take my time. I can be methodical. And then, at the end of 45 minutes.....I can be the new International Champion.McNally: Well, guys, we’re running out of time here. Train, any last words? Thunder Train: Shadow, when we get out there, you are going to feel such an unbelievable amount of pain that you will probably commit suicide before the match is over.Edison: And Dave? Dave: Screw words. I’ll do my talking in the ring. See you out there Train.Thunder Train: Good luck Dave. You’re going to need itAs the screen fades to black, the last image of both men we see is of them looking forward at the cameras, both breathing heavily, both smiling. Both imagining how they’re going to do war.

Segment: A Timely Return (Credit: ?)
We open up into the office of the Chairman, Gingerdude. It's a hectic evening, but hey, it's Omega Effect. That's more than common for the biggest night of the year. As the Chairman takes a second for a breather, we see him sitting down in his big leather chair, resting his neck against the very back of the chair with his eyes closed. He takes a deep breath, knowing that all of his hard work will pay off soon enough. Unfortunately, this break doesn't last too long as there is a knock on the door. At first, very faint and lightly - until there is no response from the Chairman, in which forces the knocking to become louder. With a sigh, the Chairman responds.
Chairman Gingerdude: Yes... Yes, come in.
He takes one last deep breath, now opening his eyes and pulling himself up as the door opens and in enters a crew member working backstage. He closes the door behind him, quickly, as if he has news for the Chairman.
Chairman Gingerdude: Yes, what can I do for you?
Worker: Sir, I have news regarding that, uhh, "job" you assigned to me.
Ginger looks at him slightly lost.
Chairman Gingerdude: You must be a bit more specific than that. I've assigned many jobs tonight.
The worker looks around, not sure if he's allowed to "say" it.
Worker: Sir, I've just gotten word from security that a certain limousine has arrived in the parking garage of the arena.
And it begins to hit him... his eyes begin to open up.
Chairman Gingerdude: ...Is that so?
Worker: Yes. Sir, I think it's... "him."
And with that, a smile comes upon the Chairmans face. He quickly stands up from his chair, grabbing his the jacket to his suit.
Chairman Gingerdude: Quick - let's go. Bring me to him! Hurry!
Worker: Yes sir!
They turn and the worker opens the door, allowing the Chairman to exit before him. Taking a right down the hall, they quickly move towards the direction of the parking garage.
Chairman Gingerdude: Finally! I knew he'd show! He just couldn't resist, I bet! How long ago was it that the limo was pulling in?
Worker: Not more than 4 minutes ago. I rushed over right when I got word.
Chairman Gingerdude: Excellent. This is going to be good!
They hurry on down the hallway, and it appears as if this is just what Ginger was waiting for, apparently. He puts on his jacket while power-walking with his employee towards the parking garage, preparing himself to meet the man or woman within the limo. Nearing an exit sign, Ginger fixes himself up, moving his tie around, all the works. The worker pushes open the exit door, stepping out onto a set of steel stairs.
Worker: Just this way, Mr. Gingerdude.
The quickly make their way down the stairs and begin to walk across the parking garage, where the camera now catches glimpse of the white limousine.
Chairman Gingerdude: Ah yes, there it is! Thank you. I got this from here.
Looking confident, Ginger makes his way towards the limo, however as he gets closer, he sees that the back, passenger door is wide open.
Chairman Gingerdude: What... no. No, don't tell me..
Ginger breaks into a slight job, making his way over. He looks inside the limo, but to no avail. It's empty. Whoever he was looking for, is not there. However, who is there is the driver, and Ginger takes notice.
Chairman Gingerdude: Excuse me! Hello!? Excuse me, yes, ... where's the man that was in the back of this limousine?
He looks back at the open door.
Driver: Oh, yes... Right before slipping me a hundred dollars to keep it running right here, I believe he said something about heading down to the ring. Had some "business" to take care of?
Chairman Gingerdude: The ring... Dammit. I'm not going to have time to make it out there! I, uhh.. I need! Get me a camera or something! Quick! Get me a live feed of that ring! I need to see what's happening right now! G'dammit... London..
Did he just say? I think so... As the Chairman now grows very dissapointed and irate over the situation, it now leaves us wondering the question "is he actually here?" And if that's the case, what's he doing in the ring? The scene begins to fade out...

Segment: Capitalism At Its Finest. (Credit: ?/?)
Omega Effect has been burning hot so far, and there's no way that we're slowing down now! As the crowd is still riled up after what has just transpired backstage - they're just about ready to jump to their feet at any moment, but instead "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen hits the sound system, and the reluctant crowd seems a bit dissapointed. Shades of red, white, and blue shine all over the ACW arena and there seems to be mixed reactions, mainly boos for the newly crowned ACW Tag Team Champions - The Capitalists! In ring attire, we see both Anthony Kalb and Kevin Fitsharris with the ACW Tag Team gold around their respective waists make their way out onto the top of the entrance stage. Smiling wide, this truly is a moment that these two will never forget. Five years they've been in ACW and for the first time ever, this dynamic duo now holds the top prize that tag teams all over would love to get their hands on. We can see that Kalb has a microphone in hand, so expect a little "acceptance speech" from the champs.
Maxwell McNally: And here comes the new tag team champions, fresh off of their victory over the Road Steelers just one week ago!
Making their way down the entrance ramp, The Capitalists look proud of their accomplishments, smirking with confidence as front row fans embrace the champions with disrespectful jeers.
'Fast' Eddie Edison: I'm assuming it's just about time for that open challenge they were talkin' 'bout, huh Maxy?
Maxwell McNally: Looks like it Eddie!
Kalb takes a route up the steel steps while Kevin throws his title into the ring and slides in underneath the bottom rope. Calm and collectively, Kalb struts down the ring apron, looking back into the masses of "peasants." He stops and rolls his eyes once he sees a vile, shirtless Thunderkiss fan waving a "500%" sign in one hand and a beer in the other. Fitsharris picks his championship title off of the mat and tosses it back over his shoulder, looking out into the crowd. Once Kalb finally enters the ring, he joins his partner in the middle of the ring as their music begins to fade, allowing them the opportunity to begin the festivities.
Kalb: Quiet down children! Time for the big boys to talk!
The crowd boos, dissatisfied with the way that the Capitalists are suddenly acting upon winning the titles.
Kalb: Now listen up! Earlier on in the week, we issued an open challenge to any tag team here for a shot at these precious Tag Team Championships! Thing is though .. nobody's responded!
Kevin Fitsharris walks up alongside his partner, also with a microphone in hand now.
Fitsharris: They're all too scared, Ants!
Kevin laughs and nods his head in agreement with himself.
Kalb: Precisely, Kevin. Now I don't know what you people think, but this just proves a point that I made earlier on to my good friend Steve Philips who I wish all the luck in the world to tonight in the main event. But this isn't about the World Title, this is about the Tag Team titles! Earlier on tonight after Kevin and I formally issued this open challenge, when I ran into Senator, I said to him: "Nobody's going to step up. Nobody!" And take a good look, people! I was right! Wasn't I, Kevin?!
Fitsharris: Sure as hell were.
Kalb: Thank you! Now ladies and gentlemen, why is it that I was right? Honestly, was it purely based on luck? Chance? No, no, no! I was right - because I'm a Capitalist! I was right, because before you stands two of the most intelligent, noble men of the upper class!
Kalb puts a hand up to his heart as he continues to "serenade" himself. Meanwhile, the crowd begins to boo, both in boredom, and in lack-of-care for the Capitalists.
Kalb: And the reason as to how I knew that I would be right is the fact that the Capitalists, Kevin Fitsharris along with myself, Anthony Kalb, are quite honestly the greatest tag team duo to ever grace an ACW ring! Period!
This immediately gets a reaction from the crowd as it seems he's reaching for a bit of heat. We can clearly hear a few "Top Draw" and "Flower Power" chants, and the Capitalists can't seem to find it within themselves to ignore it.
Kitsharris: Oh there's no question about it Ants! Right in this very ring, you got the strongest combination of technical and power brawlers ever imagined! "The Capitalist" Anthony Kalb! Standing at a massive 6' 5" tall at 245 pounds! And myself, Kevin Fitsharris at 5' 9", 195 pounds! I mean, really, who even COULD stand up to us?! Top Draw? Flower Power?! PLEASE![/i]
Kalb: Heh, see the difference between "those" teams, and us is the fact that we aren't letting any fake egos get in our way of business. Truth is, we'd pull a quick-draw on Top Draw, and we would stomp Flower Power any day of the week!
Boooooo!
Maxwell McNally[/b]: Yikes. Some -- uhh, confident words coming out of the tag team champions mouths.
"Shut The Hell Up!" *Clap, Clap, ClapClapClap*
"Shut The Hell Up!" *Clap, Clap, ClapClapClap*"
Kalb: Oh enough! Is this the way that you're going to treat the soon-to-be longest reigning tag team champions of all time?! Show some dignity and class for once in your miserable lives, for gods sakes...
'Fast' Eddie Edison[/b]: Hey, Maxy! I actually like these new Capitalists! They're "Edgey" and confident!
Maxwell McNally[/b]: Yeah, well we'll see how "confident" they are in a few weeks if they keep this Flower Power bashing up!
Kalb: Now the fact of the matter is, we issued a challenge, and we plan to deliver on that! However, if all of you lack the spines to step toe to toe with the Capitalists, then fine! But if that's the case... we still plan to be named the "victors!" We aren't out here just to run our mouths, no. We're here to prove to you, that we are the best there ever is, and the best there ever will be! Get me a referee!
Maxwell McNally[/b]: Well, here we go Eddie! I guess if we can get two guys out here, we're about to have ourselves a tag team title match!
'Fast' Eddie Edison: Yeah, but Maxy... think about it! Who really is going to try and come out here and stand face to face with The Capitalists?! Nobody! That's who!
Maxwell McNally[/b]: If you say so, Eddie. But honestly, I believe this is a great opportunity for ANYBODY in the back! An open shot at the ACW Tag Team Titles! Sounds like a good deal to me!
Fitsharris: Let's go! REF! We don't got all night!
In the ring, Anthony Kalb begins to prepare himself by stretching out his arms and hopping a bit on the tips of his toes. Kevin Fitsharris just begins to pace around the ring while looking out into the crowd, embracing the moment as he clutches his title tight to his body. As the camera shifts, we can know see a referee running down the long entrance ramp and sliding into the ring underneath the bottom rope - ready to officiate this tag title contest. The referee quickly approaches the champions, stating that no matter who accepts the challenge that he wants a fair, clean fight with no funny business involved. Once the two agree, the referee walks over to the side of the ring where Philip Jones is waiting for details. A short few moments later, and this is official.
Philip Jones: Ladies and gentlemen -- I'm being informed that this bout is set for one fall and is for the ACW Tag Team Championships! First, already in the ring, at a combined weight of 440 pounds... they are the current reigning ACW Tag Team Champions! Anthony Kalb! Kevin Fitsharris! THEEEEE CAAAAPITALISTS!
Booooo! They throw their arms in the air, raising the titles high, as if to prove that they are on top. But now that the champions have been announced, the question becomes "who are the challengers?"
Philip Jones: ....and the challengers!
The Capitalists stare at the Alphatron, preparing themselves for this "fight." However as more time begins to pass, it doesn't seem as if there will even be one.
'Fast' Eddie Edison: What did I tell ya, Maxy?! Nobody's going to step up! The Capitalists are here to stay!
Not willing to waste more time, Fitsharris quickly turns his attention towards the referee.
Fitsharris: Hey! HEY REF! Enough's enough! Nobody's coming out here!
Kalb: That's right! Nobody is willing to put up a fight these days - and that's exactly why the Road Steelers aren't the tag team champions these days! We, on the other hand gave ACW a chance! We, on the other hand, were ready! So Mr. Referee, please - ring the bell, and announce the winners!
The crowd boos as Kalb prepares himself to take a congratulatory bow for he and his partners wonderful defense. However, the referee just stands there, shaking his head. After taking a look at Philip, he knows that there's nothing he can do - but that won't go over so well with these two.
Fitsharris: Didn't you hear the man?! Ring the darn bell! We won! It's a forfeit!
Kalb: Are you dense or something? Let's go! I'm a busy man and time is money, so let's make this short and sweet, make that man announce our names!
The referee shakes his head no.
Kalb: No? NO? What do you mean, "NO!?"
Referee: Sir, I'm sorry! But I cannot declare a winner of a contest... where, well... there was no contest!
Anthony shoots a look the other way, and instead of looking angered, he smirks. He slowly nods his head, mouthing "Okay. Okay!" to the fans of ACW. He looks at Kevin and begins to lightly laugh to himself, believing that he's on to something.
Kalb: ....my point exactly! There's no contest, because quite frankly, there's just no competition! We are the Capitalists ... and simply put, we are better than you! Now that ... is NOTHING, but - the TRUTH!
He laughs loudly and Kevin joins in with a wide smirk of his own as Kalb drops his microphone to the mat in a sense of victory. They came out here with a purpose and they defended their honor by issuing an open challenge that went unanswered. But at this point, Kalb and Fitsharris would expect their own theme music to play -- however, somebody else has another thing coming for this dynamic duo...

Just as it seems like The Capitalists are in the clear -- a familiar tune rings out upon the ACW Arena...Within the blink of an eye, the fans of the ACW arena leap to their feet surprisingly with a massive pop as "Crack a Bottle" by Eminem begins to play. With eyes darting towards the Alphatron, Anthony Kalb does not look too pleased. In fact - he looks down right irritated. He smacks Fitsharris in the chest, asking him what's going on. But hey, it is Omega Effect after all!'Fast' Eddie Edison: Hu-- whaa.. No! It's not! It can't be! Maxy! Maxwell McNally: I think it is! Eddie! It's the former World Champion! He pushes past the black curtain separating the stage from the back, and without hesitation - Jay Zero steps out onto the ACW stage for the first time in a while. Wearing dark black tights with his patented royal blue stripes on the sides along with the famous tassels on the end, a stylish black and white tee, and a nice pair of sunglasses, it looks like Jay Zero hasn't missed a beat. Upon actually seeing him, the crowd goes wild - many going back to old habits and booing him, while others embrace the return of our former Commissioner, welcoming him with cheers.Maxwell McNally[/b]: And there he is! Jay Zero! Jay Zero is back in ACW! 'Fast' Eddie Edison[/b]: But Maxy! I thought he was suspended! What's going on here?! Security! In the ring, it seems as if Kevin Fitsharris is ready to do something he may regret and go meet Zero halfway on the stage, but thinking quickly, Kalb stops him - there's no point in making this physical. They might as well see what the point of this is. Zero continues on down the rampway with a sly smile upon his face, seemingly staring at The Capitalists the entire way while the chants of the fans surround him. Zero quickly ascends the steel steps and onto the ring apron. Glancing back over his shoulder, Zero makes sure neither member of the Capitalists are approaching as he turns back around to look at the large, sold-out Omega Effect crowd. He enters the ring and walks pasts The Capitalists, almost brushing shoulders with Anthony Kalb on his way towards the turnbuckles. Zero hops up to the second rope, posing for the fans, while the Capitalists try to look calm. Adjusting his title belt over his shoulder, Kalb turns his head away, displeased. 'Fast' Eddie Edison: I can't believe this! This man is not supposed to be here! And how dare he interrupt this momentous moment for The Capitalists?! Zero drops down from the top and reaches out, receiving a microphone from a ringside crew worker. He flips the switch and paces circles around Kalb and Fitsharris, that sly smile remaining upon his face. The music begins to fade, and now all that's left audible is the reaction that the Grand Slam Champion is receiving.Zero: Oh I'm sorry -- were you expecting somebody else? [/b] It seems as if he's asking the entire arena, but really, he looks right into the face of Anthony Kalb, addressing the Capitalists directly.Zero: Did you people honestly think that Jay Zero was going to miss the fifth anniversary of Omega Effect?! [/b] The crowd cheers, but Kalb's had enough.Kalb: Whoa, whoa, hold on! Just who the hell do you think you are? And aren't you supposed to be suspended? Zero shrugs his shoulders and quickly has a response ready.Zero: Well I know just exactly who I am, and that's the former Grand Slam Champion - The Handsome, the Athletic, the Intelligent, "Perfect Ten" Jay Zero! [/b] Fitsharris: Yeah, well why are you interrupting our celebration?! Zero stops and furrows his brow, taken a bit back.Zero: I'm sorry, celebration? Celebration of what? The fact that you two sorry excuses for a tag team managed to get some air time during Omega Effect? [/b] It looks like Fitsharris is ready to strike, but an angered Anthony Kalb retaliates.Kalb: No! This is the celebration of HISTORY IN THE MAKING! This is our first title defense of many more to come as our record-breaking reigns as Tag Team Champions! The crowd boos as Fitsharris raises his title high up into the air.Zero: Heh. Title defense? So what, you call comin' down to the ring and bringing a referee along makes this a title defense? You think that's what's going to make you two guys the best champions of all time? Hell, I find it to be funny for you guys to be calling yourselves the best when in all of your five years with this company under the Senatorial Stable, this is the first time you've managed to obtain the gold! But of course, how could you? You've always been too busy sucking on the political-teat of Senator all these years, haven't ya? Don't have too much time to focus on your own career when you're living in the shadows of anothers, huh? [/b] The crowd "oooooh's" at Zero's last statement, and the Capitalists seem like they're ready to snap.Zero: But y'know what? I'm not out here to pick apart you two little punks, so you can go ahead and take this "celebration" elsewhere. Ok? Good, now get out of my ring! [/b] Instead of taking their exit, the Capitalists stay. Insulted and irate, Kalb looks for an answer.Kalb: Well if you're not out here to congratulate The Capitalists... then exactly why are you out here? Couldn't stand to stay out of the spotlight just any longer? Huh? Or better yet, why couldn't you just wait until the main event? Zero: ....well, if you're so interested in knowing - I'm not here to get my revenge just yet. If I waited until later on, then came out here and cost Thunder Train his International title, or if I interfered in the main event to teach Jake Steele a lesson -- then what would I be doing? I'd be helping out the other guys that I despise! Why help Dave Shadow, an associate of the Chairman win the International Title? And for that matter, why would I help Gingers right hand man Thunderkiss win the World title? And why would I help your crooked, racist godfather, Steve Philips?! Y'see, there's a lot of scumbags in this here company, Kalb, and I'm not comin' out here tonight to try and make friends with any of 'em! My suspension ended well over two months ago, and you want to know why I didn't come back any time sooner? Because I couldn't stand to look myself in the mirror and know that if I returned, I'd continue to lower myself to the levels of people like Jake Steele and Thunder Train just to get a quick revenge!
But now -- now I'm back on my own terms and I'm ready for change! For too long I've taken the back seat to this company, watching, planning... I've seen all that is wrong with this place and I've seen just about enough of it! I'm tired of watching the same old guys form alliances and try to run this show! I'm tired of watching these new guys try and ravage their way up into my main event! And I'm too tired, of having to deal with egotistical numbnuts like yourselves parading around my ring like you're hot shit! [/b] The crowd cheers and applauds Jay Zero as he glares right into the eyes of Anthony Kalb. Zero: So y'know what... maybe I am out here to pick you two apart. [/b] Maxwell McNally: I'm not liking the looks of this Eddie! It looks like we're about to have a 2-on-1 fight right in the middle of the ring! Within mid sentence of Jay Zero ripping each of the Capitalists apart verbally, suddenly the titantron cuts to the back where a similar limo to that of Jay Zero has already pulled up and the passenger seat door has already been opened. Panning down the long stretch limo, we get to the opened passenger seat and waiting by it is none other than Chairman Gingerdude.Chairman Gingerdude: Where are you going?! We were supposed to hash things out tonight, you can't just go to the ring and get involved right now! There's contracts we need to sign, deals we need to clear! Hey! Gingerdude continues to scream at the person off camera - but he knows it's doing absolutely nothing in deterring whoever this is from what they are set on. The Chairman eventually stops, and the titantron returns the feed of what's going on in the ring where we see a confused trio in the ring.
The crowd begins to murmur amongst themselves about what exactly just transpired in the very brief clip, but it's more than clear that the three men in the ring are about to be joined by another party. Zero turns his attention away from the Tag Team Champions and faces the stage, as does The Capitalists - and now it's just a waiting game to see who will step through the curtain.
The opinions of the fans of who this might be run rampant throughout the Omega Effect audience, and there are quite a few names being thrown out. But within seconds, all the speculation comes to rest as the music finally hits.
The sounds of the 808s mixed with the tribal drums burst into life, and it's the one man the crowd has been anticipating for weeks with the crazy internet rumors and such. Within seconds, the lyrics chime in and it's clear to the fans who has returned.
