MAIN EVENT Chris Lawson With the two hottest tag teams in ACW today it was only a matter of time until tensions snapped and when it went it really went. Exploding out of the corner with a big time suplex, Laron Xavier took the charge by slamming Public Enemy straight to the mat. TSSA's strategy was simple, let Public Enemy take a beating and have Claude do the heavy damage at the end. Laron and Thiago's strategy was to simply use superior teamwork. With a running elbow drop followed by another Snap Suplex Laron seized control of the contest. Shoving Enemy back into the corner, Laron attempted a crooked arm lariat into the corner but Enemy cartwheeled out the way and leapt up in the air with a big time Enemy Go Round bringing her opponent crashing to the mat. Laron quickly bounced back to his feet but then Enemy continued her assault with a Snapmare followed by a Soccer Kick causing the crowd to go “Oooh” in discomfort. This was followed again by a Standing Knee Drop and a pinfall attempt which only got a 2-count. Laron getting the shoulder up in the nick of time. Enemy attempted to show her strength by delivering a big time Scoop Slam but Laron slid down the back and hit a big dropkick sending her running towards the ropes. Enemy dodged a Clothesline on the way back and hit the ropes for a Springboard Hurricanrana twisting in mid-air to connect but Laron caught her and delivered a thunderous powerbomb right to the mat. Holding her down in the pinning position, Enemy got a 2-count and Laron quickly tagged his partner in. Knowing that Thiago was the far more disciplined part of the pairing Enemy kept her distance backing away from the bald Brazilian. Attempting a takedown with a running spear Enemy stepped to the side and jumped onto his back sending him crashing onto his face. With repeated strikes to the back of the head in the rear mount position, Thiago had planned for this knowing full well he had taken her right into his element. On the ground is where Thiago was by far the most dangerous and of course as he flipped over into an open guard position and started to pummel her with strikes raining down onto her face people knew that the complexion of this match was changing and soon Claude would need to be tagged in. Landing a lucky kick to the head Enemy sent Gracie off her and quickly scrambled to her feet taking to the ropes yet again for a big time Springboard Back Elbow clocking him right between the eyes. Both Gracie and Enemy on the mat, Enemy desperately sought to make a tag to her partner but as she crawled to her corner she realized that Claude was not there and was instead halfway up the entrance ramp shouting at the appearing Chris Lawson who pleaded desperately with the Frenchman. Holding onto the top rope and attempting to shout the Frenchman back to action it was pointless as Gracie took advantage of the distraction and twirled her around. Instinctively swinging a right hand for his head, Thiago leapt up with the Victory by Armbar and brought the ex-con crashing to the mat. Claude was again still out of action but Enemy refused to give in. The armbar was held in for a good thirty seconds directly in the centre of the ring, Ali and Laron cheering on knowing that it was only inevitable. Finally, after much delay there was a sickly snap when the dislocation and eventual breaking began as Gracie applied maximum torque to the arm. It was literally tap or snap at this point and as she played a game of submission chicken with her arm Enemy finally called it quits and tapped just at the point where her arm completely dislocated from the shoulder. WINNERS: The Tag Team of Gloriousness

END OF DAYS Chris Lawson l Public Enemy l Laron Xavier l Thiago Gracie In the midst of some brutal tag team action the time is coming for this match to reach it's climax. It's been a perfectly even sided bout thus far but now after some lucky counters it's simply a matter of Public Enemy tagging in her fresh partner Claude LeBatard to do all but seal the victory in this fantastic tag match. Having spent from start to finish in this match so far Enemy is exhausted and having clocked Thiago Gracie with a springboard back elbow it now comes to a situation where both Thiago and Enemy are on the mat.Edison: Back and forth, back and forth, this match could go all night long! What a great main event this has turned out to be! McNally: You said it Eddie, these four newcomers are incredible talents and-, wait a minute. What the Hell is that? The crowd go ballistic as none other than Chris Lawson himself starts booking up the entrance ramp in his full suit with a briefcase and everything. Puffing and panting, he thunders to the ring and shouts out to his employer.Chris Lawson: CLAUDE!!!The Frenchman turns and drops down from the apron clearly not impressed with Lawson's arrival. LeBatard pursues Lawson up the entrance ramp demanding an explanation as to his presence at ringside.Claude: Why're you here?! Can't you see I have things to do?! Chris Lawson: Claude, it's Enemy. She's a ex-convict. She got charged with Armed Robbery five years ago and I was the reason she got busted because I disarmed her and handed her to the authorities and now she's here to exact her revenge on me!Claude: Pfft, no wonder nobody likes you! Chris Lawson: Claude, she's a dangerous woman and she's going to take down both of us. You HAVE to listen to me.Public Enemy: TURN THE FUCK AROUND! I NEED SOME HELP OVER HERE-ARRRGGHHH! Claude and Chris are completely unaware of Enemy's predicament as Thiago towering behind her twists around and takes her straight to the mat with the Victory by Armbar. The two continue to bicker as the pressure is applied with Enemy having nowhere to go dead centre in the ring. She writhes and flails desperately trying to escape the vicious hold but with nowhere to go her very masochistic tendencies are pushed to the absolute limit. Flailing and screaming as the pressure and the pain increases she can start to hear the popping sounds in her bones as Laron and Ali cheer on their partner Gracie. Finally with nowhere left to go and with no help from Claude and Lawson she taps the very instant that her arm gets dislocated.McNally: Enemy taps! Enemy taps! By Lord that's the match as Public Enemy taps out to that deadly jujigatame submission! What a match it was from both sides but what a victory for Gracie, a Victory by Armbar! The crowd are riotous with applauses as Twisted Steel and Sex Appeal are defeated and The Tag Team of Gloriousness improve their streak by once again proving that they are the best tag team in ACW. Rolling off of Enemy, the Tag Team of Gloriousness quickly depart from the ring as Claude turns and realizes just what has happened. His beloved Enemy lying in the ring, he storms down and slides under the bottom rope caring little for Lawson's objections to the team union as he tries desperately to help her to her feet. Pure pain streaks through her but more than that, she has a look to kill right now.Edison: Claude coming to the rescue here but Enemy does NOT look too happy with either her partner or Lawson right now! McNally: The plucky young lawyer from Los Angeles have just cost Twisted Steel and Sex Appeal this main event contest tonight and I don't think that Chris Lawson's mission out here tonight went to plan. Claude grabs Enemy's non-dislocated arm and raises it but she pulls away and kicks him square in the groin causing him to collapse to the mat. Lawson storms the ring now to tend to his fallen employer as Enemy nurses her dislocated arm sliding out of the ring. The screen fades to black with Claude shouting at Lawson...
But the show is not quite over yet.

Segment: Paranoia (Credit: Ascendancy)
It was nothing but mindgames.
Nothing. But. Mindgames. NOTHING ELSE!
Why then...Why did Freeman feel apprehensive around corners...why did he feel jumpy at the smallest noises...He KNEW Scorpion was just trying to worry him, but how was it WORKING! More than anything, Freeman feels anger. Anger that somehow his nerves are slightly failing him, but he manages to get a grip on himself.
It was nothing. Ascendancy was too strong to be taken down, and Scorpion could not affect him. He was the world heavyweight champion. He rubs a hand over his world title belt and this is enough to clear his head...enough for him to realize how foolish he had been. Enough to assert to himself that he really could not be touched. This battle goes on in Freeman's head, and in the process he doesn't notice that Ryan Cole has been speaking.
Cole: Did you see the order of pictures? This is ridiculous...MINE was the next one. MINE. And I don't even have a bodyguard anymore.
Freeman: You have two.
Cole looks up.
Freeman: Phillips and I. We are a group of three and how could he possibly take us down all at once? He wants you to worry, but there is no need. We are stronger than him. HE WON'T BE ABLE TO---
And suddenly there is a crash, and the three men turn to look, perhaps a bit more quickly than they usually would have - all three men slightly startled. It is nothing however. Something clearly had just fallen in a nearby room, as there was nobody in sight.
Senator: Relax, the show is over, and we have not been assaulted yet.
Freeman: ...Why not?
Senator: What?
Freeman: Have you ever stopped to think why not? Why wouldn't he attack us? He took Dominic Campbell and if the little pictures on that video tonight were any indication he aims to take us down. One by one.
Cole grimaces at this, and Senator looks at Freeman grave-faced.
Freeman: And if he wants to do that why hasn't he tried yet? Oh, I don't think he will succeed, Phillips. I don't think for ONE SECOND that Scorpion could ever touch us. we are Ascendancy and I am the world champion! But why, Phillips, has he not ATTEMPTED yet at all? We haven't heard him or seen him this whole night, but we know he's here. So where is he now?
Cole: Perhaps he knows that he couldn't take down all three of us. Why would he try? He won't be able to do it.
Freeman: The Scorpion is insane, Cole. He is nothing but a psychopath, and psychopaths don't care whether or not they'll succeed. He's just the type to be stupid enough to try, but he HASN'T. So where is he then? What is he doing? And if he hasn't attacked us YET, what is he planning?
Senator: I am sure that---
Freeman's eyes seem to widen as he speaks, and both Cole and Steve Phillips feel a little uneasy as they hear a voice that sounds slightly unstable - especially from somebody accusing somebody else of being a psychopath.
Freeman: Perhaps he's here, waiting for us. Perhaps he's behind any one of these doors ready to jump out...If he hasn't tried yet he intends to and what better time than now when our guard is down. BUT YOU CAN'T TRICK ME SCORPION, BECAUSE MY GUARD IS NEVER DOWN!!!
He yells this to nobody in particular, obviously assuming that there is some possibility Scorpion can hear him.
Senator: Listen to yourself, you sound---
Freeman: SHUT UP AND FOLLOW ME!
Freeman walks faster, and the two men follow him, until he raises a finger to be quiet to them, and walks silently up to a closet door that is ever so slightly ajar...A door that would have to be passed to exit the arena...A door that stands eerily ready to swing open at any minute...and Freeman suddenly grabs hold of it and yanks it open!!
---Nobody is inside. There will be no sneak attack from here.
Freeman: So he's clever. He won't hide inside a door, too obvious. That's fine with me. BUT I KNOW HE'S HERE!
Senator: Freeman, get a grip on yourself!
Freeman: Get a GRIP ON MYSELF?
Freeman spins around to glare at the Senator.
Freeman: Are you in any way suggesting that I am not in perfect control right now, Phillips? Are you in any way suggesting that my actions are in any way irrational or unwarranted? Are you suggesting that I'm not in a stable state of mind right now? Because I am as stable as ever and as confident as ever! But I am not going to let Scorpion attack me from behind, and what's more? This title belt is mine, Phillips, and it WILL STAY THAT WAY.
Cole: Hey, I'm with Freeman on this one. There is no way I'm being attacked from behind tonight. Do I need to AGAIN remind you what happened to Dominic?
Senator: Your bodyguard being assaulted was indeed unfortunate, but let us not become completely unraveled based on such an attack and on a small video of our portraits! This is ridiculous! There is no danger, we are fine. If we linger here forever however, we will never get out of this arena!
The three continue to walk outside, into the dark parking lot. Freeman continues to look around, noticing now how easy it would be to attack somebody from this lot. There are so many places to hide...so many places one could jump out from...But his own car was within eyeshot, and not very far away at all. If it was going to happen the time was now.
Freeman: That's it...it's been a whole night with nothing but silence. He's going to attack now. It's the only time. Cole you look that way, Phillips that way!
Senator: I---
Freeman: I SAID LOOK THAT WAY!
And the Senator knows that now is not the time to argue as the three look around and eventually reach Freeman's car...Scorpion nowhere to be found.
Freeman: I don't get it...I...
He breathes heavily and looks around, they weren't attacked. His eyes narrow suspiciously. ...Why not? And it is then that he sees what lies on top of the hood of his car....a familiar symbol indeed....and it's very presence seems to burn into his brain - it almost mocks him...
It is a single white rose.
And suddenly Freeman snaps.
Freeman: YAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!
Freeman slams his fists down on his own car in a rage, which in turn sets off his car alarm, a sound that rings through the night and brings him once more to his senses, and suddenly he realizes just what Scorpion has done...he fell subject to paranoia, and he cannot deny it. The mindgames were working, and that rose continues to taunt him, and continues to play with his head.
That single white rose...
End of show.
