[Alicia "Atomic" Kitsune]

Warfare opens in Co – chairman WCW’s office; he has his feet up on his desk, and on the other side Kain looms above him; he has obviously come to talk business.

Kain: I don’t care what the outcome was, I gave everything in the 5 on 5 at Seven Deadly Sins, and now I want my payback. I said that I always collect on my debts, and I meant it.

WCW scowls; he still has one or two bruises from SDS, but it is the injury to his pride that is the most serious.

WCW: Look Kain, let’s get one thing straight; at the PPV you did exactly what you were contracted to do, which is follow my instructions to the letter. I don’t owe you a damn thing. But you’re in luck, because it happens to suit my own designs to give you what you want. Just don’t screw up again, is that clear?

Kain: So it’s official? I get that crowd hugging bastard, tonight, for the title?

WCW: You got it. Tonight’s main event will be you, the walking nightmare Kain, against the soon to be ex – international champion V3. Now get out of my office, I have a lot of work to do.

Kain smiles briefly and turns to leave, and the scene fades out.

Match 1: Monkeybaal v Tyrant

The fans are already hyped up before the first match even begins, and Philip has to turn his mic up a little to be clearly heard as he starts his evening’s work.

Philip: The first match tonight is a singles contest, set for one fall! Introducing first, Monkeybaal!

3rd Planet hits, and Monkey comes out to a strong positive reaction from the crowd. Many people have been impressed by his tenacity, and he is quickly acquiring a vocal internet fanbase who have been bombarding the ACW website with emails and demanding the plucky youngster be pushed.

Monkey steps into the ring, and the crowd starts to boo as Sober by Tool hits.

Philip: And his opponent, from Orange County California………Tyrant!

Tyrant stalks to the ring, regarding Monkey with a nasty smile and looking forward to inflicting some serious pain on his opponent. Tyrant his a major height advantage and he looms over Monkey, but Tyrant does not manage to intimidate his opponent and Monkey readies himself for battle as the match preparations are completed.

Bell Rings.

Monkey and Tyrant immediately go for attacking strategies, and the first couple of minutes are evenly balanced; Tyrant knocks Monkey down a few times with his powerful blows, but Monkey uses his natural agility to ensure that many of Tyrant’s attacks are wasted while he constantly torments his opponent with stinging kicks, occasionally sweeping Tyrant’s legs to send him to the mat. Eventually, Tyrant manages to catch hold of Monkey and he delivers a strong back suplex before making a pin; Monkey kicks out strongly well before 2. Both men get back to their feet and Monkey swiftly whips Tyrant into the corner, kicking him in the gut and lower body a few times before executing an impressive Monkey Flip on his larger opponent. Monkey covers, and Tyrant is also away before the 2 count is given. Tyrant is not impressed by Monkey’s cheek and he asserts his authority with a powerslam; Monkey though is just as determined and he recovers swiftly, and leaps forward to nail the head scissors. The fans cheer as Monkey pins again, and this time Tyrant breaks out just after 2. The match continues in this vein for some time; Tyrant breaks out a variety of power moves, but each time Monkey either moves before he can cover, or breaks the pin without major difficulty; he does not allow Tyrant to chain moves together and so their effectiveness is reduced. Tyrant starts to become seriously annoyed, and this makes him just that bit more careless; Monkey is able to duck a clothesline attempt and then spring back from the ropes to tackle Tyrant to the ground. Monkey stamps and kicks Tyrant a little to buy time, and then rushes to the corner post; he hits his trademark five star frog splash, and the crowd is loving it as Monkey pins and gets a near 3 count. Tyrant is now a little dazed, but he hears the crowd’s support for Monkey and it is like showing a red rag to a bull. He spears Monkey right in to the post, and empties his lungs of air; flipping off the crowd, he chokeslams Monkey with immense force, and this time it is Monkey who struggles to make the 3 count.

Tyrant is breathing hard, and he decides on a change of approach; he favours leg – based submission moves and he applies a Texas cloverleaf. Monkey grimaces, and his legs ache terribly as the lactic acid builds up in his muscles. Tyrant berates him and shouts at him to tap, but this is in fact a mistake; in his mind, Monkey recalls Dream’s mocking voice and his determination not to lose via submission a second time fires him and gives him great strength. Monkey closes his eyes, draws together all his anger, and then releases it in a single massive burst, wrenching himself free of Tyrant and rolling back to his feet. Tyrant doesn’t have time to respond before Monkey runs forward and leaps into a dropkick that smashes into Tyrant’s head; Tyrant keels over and Monkey gets a count of 2.5 before Tyrant escapes. Monkey surges with energy, and as Tyrant whips him to the ropes he rushes back, ducks Tyrant’s attempted blow, rebounds again and returns to hit the RKO with authority. Another pin, another 2.5 count……..Monkey knows he is close to victory, and Tyrant equally is aware of the risk of defeat. Tyrant knows he needs time to recover, and he has a plan to get it; he lifts Monkey up on to his shoulder, and as he predicts Monkey slips away and drops down behind him; Tyrant whirls around with his arm stretched out, and smacks the referee in the head in the process “by accident”. Monkey is too focused on the match to see that the referee has fallen and not got up; he attacks Tyrant with a series of body blows until he clutches his gut, and then kicks him in the back to lay him over the middle rope; Monkey hits his 619 / Dropping the dime combination, and pins. The crowd chants as one, 1,2,3…….but the referee is still down, and Monkey slams his fist into the canvas in frustration before heading over and trying to revive the ref. Tyrant uses this time to recover himself, and just as the referee is getting back up he grabs Monkey and chokeslams him again before immediately landing his Elefant Bomb finisher in the centre of the ring. This time the ref is all too quick to count, and Monkey just fails to break free before the referee’s hand falls for 3 and the bell rings.

Philip: Here is your winner……..Tyrant!

Tyrant is battered by a wave of shouting and boos from the irate crowd; it is clear that Monkey had got the better of his opponent and that only Tyrant’s blatant cheating allowed him to steal the win. Monkey pulls himself back to his feet and his mental pain at the loss is obvious, but from within the crowd a chant of “Monkey, Monkey, Monkey!” starts up and in seconds the whole arena is shouting with one voice. Tyrant is completely taken aback by this, and he shouts and flips off the crowd angrily, but this just works the crowd up even more. Tyrant looks as if he is about to attack Monkey once more, but Monkey is filled with new confidence and he stands up straight and proud. Tyrant sees something in Monkey’s eyes that unsettles him, and although he continues to hurl abuse he starts to back away and then exits the ring. Monkey never takes his eyes from his opponent, and he resolves that he will repay the crowd’s faith in him by defeating Tyrant at the earliest possible opportunity.

Segment - Collision of the Tag Team Titans (Credit: BK London)

The Poco Locos are strolling through the corridors; they are still riding on a highfrom their tag team victory. As they round a corner they come face to face with the fed’s newest tag team, Top Draw.

McFoley: What do you two losers want?

London: Losers? Hardly, we just want to introduce ourselves to you two. I am as you know BK London and he is Lil Jakie, and we are Top Draw.

El Loco: It doesn't matter who you are, we are still gonna kick your asses tonight in that Six Man.

Jakie: I think not. See, we have yet to reveal our new partner.

London: That's right.

Jakie: And this partner is gonna shock the world tonight.

London: The entire world.

Jakie: London, tell them what other surprise we have for them.

London: Gladly, see on Meltdown we beat Spider.

McFoley: And what does that have to do with us?

London: It has a lot to do with you two guys. See because of that win Gingerdude has named us officially as the #1 contenders for the ACW Tag Team Championship. So you guys had better not get too attached to that gold, because we’ll be parting you from it before very long. We’ll see you guys later tonight.

London and Jakie smile warmly at the Pocos and go on their way, leaving Rey and El Loco to fume over the new threat to their title reign.

Fade out.

Section: TNT’s warning (Credit: TNT)

The camera switches to an image of TNT looking up at the camera's view with an arrogant and cocky smirk on his face. The crowd boos at what they see; an Interviewer stands right next to TNT looking just a little nervous.

Interviewer:: So, TNT how did it feel, last week when you got beat in the middle of the ring by BOB in your Debut tag Match?

TNT turns his cocky smirk into a disgusted look and turns towards the Interviewer.

TNT: How do you think I feel?! huh?! I come into this business as one of the....no no no, wait....I came into this business as THE hottest young talent and up and comer, and then to have a 5' 10, 125 pound, near 5th grader... Pin me in the ring 1...2..3, because of my retarded fat piece of lard, Jackass Partner who was in my corner playing with those little balls he calls testicles, wouldn't do a damn thing, and he dare says this....

TNT changes his look into a straight and mean face mocking Orochi

TNT (in Monotone Voice): The...on...ly...rea...son...we...lost....was....be....cause.. my...part....ner....thought....that.... (changes to real voice) AHH Shut Yo Mouth you stupid sonuvabitch! So...you, the interviewer, came to ask me some questions?!

Interviewer: Do you think there is any truth to the rumour about Orochi interfering in your match tonight?

TNT: Is there any truth to the rumour?! All I got to say about that is that if Orochi wants to interfere in my match tonight he’s gonna find a big black boot shoved right up his fat ass, word of advice Mr. Roboto, you go into your little Lockerroom, if you can fit in the damn thing, take a nap with newspaper blankets, sing, dance, watch tv, ahh whatever the hell it is you do, and you stay in there, and do nothin, and I mean Absolutly Nothing! Like the little pathetic Bitch that you are… TNT Smirks at this remark and you watch me!, TNT, EX..cellence, annihilate! my opponent tonight, move your ass outta the way before you get slapped bitch...

TNT pushes the Interviewer away and leaves.

Fade out.

Match 2: Amo the Great v TNT

Everyone is looking forward to the next match; after their impressive debuts on Meltdown the crowd is keen to see more of Amo and TNT in singles competition.

Philip: The next match is a singles match, scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Los Angeles……..Amo the Great!

”The Magnificent Seven” by The Clash hits, and Amo strikes a pose in the spotlight on the stage before coming down to the ring. He pauses several times to pose again and smile at the female fans in the audience before he reaches the ring itself, where he climbs the turnbuckles and plays up to the crowd.

Then “TNT” by AC/DC hits, and TNT himself strides out into the arena.

Philip: And his opponent, from Chicago Illinois……….TNT!

TNT struts to the ring, totally ignoring the crowd’s jeers; he is fully confident in his own superiority. He stalks around Amo, who just watches him with an expression of faint amusement. The ref is keen to get things underway, and he signals to the timekeeper.

Bell Rings.

TNT doesn’t waste any time trying to figure out Amo’s battle plan; instead he wades straight in, buoyed up by his arrogance, and starts to aim blows at Amo’s upper body and head. Amo takes a couple of shots before smashing TNT back with a single blow, and he shakes his head a little at being able to catch TNT out so easily. The crowd laughs a little at TNT, and he flushes with anger; although sometimes overconfident TNT is a skilled competitor and he whips Amo to the ropes before flooring him with a powerful superkick to the chin. TNT drops down to the mat, and he holds Amo face – down on the canvas with one foot while wrenching back on one arm, making Amo grit his teeth against the pain. TNT stamps on the small of Amo’s back for extra effect, but this gives Amo a chance to escape and he rolls on to his back to untwist his arm before pulling TNT toward him so that he is close enough for Amo to deliver a double – footed kick to TNT’s gut while lying on his back. TNT flies backward and tumbles out of the ring through the ropes; Amo gets up and steps through the ropes before dropping down to land on TNT before he can get up. TNT grunts in pain from Amo’s landing, but he has enough sense to get up and protect himself as Amo comes in for another attack; he reverses a whip attempt so that Amo is thrown against one of the announce tables. With Amo pinned against the table TNT takes advantage, landing several blows before hitting a belly to belly suplex that makes Amo land awkwardly against the ring apron, hurting both his head and his back. TNT smirks and bundles Amo back into the ring before pinning; Amo breaks out at 2. TNT uses an elbow drop, and then goes for the rolling thunder; again though Amo turns the move to his advantage, tucking up his knees so that TNT injures himself on the solid calf muscles. Amo quickly rises and goes to the corner post for a fist drop before making a pin, and he also gets a 2 count for his efforts.

Both men are investing a lot of energy into the match, and the pace quickens as they move around the ring trying to land blows on one another. Several times the referee comes close to being hit, but it is Amo who finally cuts it just that bit too fine, and one big punch knocks the ref down. Amo is mortified at his mistake and immediately goes to check on him; TNT approaches from behind and is just lining up a low blow when there is a roar from the crowd, and the imposing figure of Orochi materialises from the crowd to enter the ring. TNT turns to see him and starts to shout and gesture angrily, but this has no effect on Orochi; Orochi counters his attacks skillfully, and he demonstrates his military press into piledriver combination, the Orochi-Naga, to devastating effect. Amo hears the impact and swings around; he stands and walks forward to Orochi, raising his hands to try and calm the furious superstar, but Orochi is no less angry with Amo for daring to stand up to him, and he ignores Amo’s attempt to reason, grabbing the big man by the face and then showing off his amazing strength by premiering his alternative finisher, the Kusanagi no Tsurugi – a chokeslam backbreaker variant. With the referee and both participants down, Orochi stalks around the ring and stares in contempt at his rivals before leaving the ring once more, accompanied by a storm of protest from the fans; as he does so however Bob runs down to ringside and spears Orochi to the ground before retreating again, yelling at the big man and drawing him away before he can do any further damage. The referee is the first to recover but he does not see Orochi or Bob at any point; both of the match participants have been seriously weakened, and there is now a real opportunity for one of them to secure a victory as they get back to their feet at about the same time. TNT attacks with carefully timed punches, and stuns Amo enough to set up for the C4; with an opponent of Amo’s size however this is easier said than done, and although TNT lifts him he does not have enough power left to hit the move with its usual force. Thus, when he pins, Amo is just able to beat the 3 count; TNT swears in anger, and Amo rises to his feet with a focused look on his face. TNT yells and runs forward, but Amo is ready and he hits him with a huge punch, then a second….
Three….
Four……, and TNT is looking shaky on his feet…..
Five……
Six……. – the crowd is roaring as Amo leans back for the final and biggest punch of all…<br>Seven!
TNT’s legs buckle and he collapses to the canvas. Amo places one foot on his chest, and he poses as the referee counts 1,2,3 to end the match.

Philip: Here is your winner……….Amo the Great!

Amo is delighted by his first singles win and poses for the crowd once more; he rubs his head and his expression darkens a little as he considers Orochi’s attack. TNT is starting to get up and Amo decides that he does not want to fall victim to a second sneak attack, so he slides out of the ring and makes his way backstage. TNT meanwhile cannot decide whether he is more angry with Amo for beating him or with Orochi for his actions; as TNT leaves he resolves to punish both his foes, and he smiles maliciously as he goes backstage to start making plans.

Segment: Yoko’s Challenge

Rey stomps back into the Poco Loco locker room with EL; he is still furious at Top Draw’s little announcement, and he kicks his locker in anger.

Rey: Goddammit! Those punks…….they seriously think we’re going to let them take our hard won belts? Well tonight we’ll wipe those smiles off their ugly faces!

EL: You said it, man. We’ve got the power of Spider to add to our own awesome talent…..there’s no way we’re gonna let them get away with this!

Rey smirks, and opens his locker. He goes to put in some of his things, but is stopped short by the sight of something which he did not place in the locker himself.

Rey: What the heck is this piece of garbage?

Rey picks up the Japanese lantern and looks at it for moment.

Off Camera: Ah, I see you have found my little gift.

Rey looks up and he sees Yoko Satoshi at the door. Rey glares at her.

Rey: What do you want, woman?

Yoko: A match, Rey, one on one with you on Meltdown. And I will get my wish, because Co – Chairman Ginger has already approved it. So be careful tonight……..it would be terrible if you got an injury before having to face me. I want you at 100%, so when I beat you it will be all the sweeter for me, and all the more painful for you.

Yoko smiles and walks away; Rey’s face is scarlet with fury, and he crushes the paper lantern before throwing it on the floor.

Rey: All right Yoko, you like to study so much, well then I guess I will take you back to school.

Fade out.

Match 3: Kid Krash v Kross

Match 3 brings the arrival of another new recruit to the ACW roster, and the crowd await their appearance with interest.

Philip: The next match is a singles contest, scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, making his ACW debut……….from Seattle, Washington………Kid Krash!

”Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin hits, and Krash enters the arena; he looks a little surprised by the size and sound of the crowd, but he looks confident as he walks down to the ring. He warms up as the music changes to “Vater Unser” and the crowd starts to cheer for his opponent.

Philip: And his opponent, from the Vatican City, Rome………….Michael Kross!

Kross steps into the arena, and white lights give the place an ethereal feel as he slowly approaches the ring, giving his now traditional “blessing” to the fans. Krash smirks a little at this, but Kross does not seem to be bothered; he enters the ring, but as he is removing his cloak Krash decides to make an early start and runs forward to attack. Kross takes a couple of blows before he is able to fight back and force Krash back, and the crowd boos Krash as the referee shouts for the bell to start the match officially.

Bell Rings.

Krash continues to launch a stream of punches at Kross, finishing with a suplex; Kross though is not easily put oof balance and he is straight back on his feet, repaying Krash for his underhand tactics with a few licks before backing up to prepare for a strong running senton. Krash is driven to the mat and Kross pins, but Krash pushes him away almost immediately. The pair get back up and Kross goes for a whip but Krash reverses and Kross is sent into the corner; Krash runs in, lays down a few blows and then tries to confuse Kross by whipping him diagonally across the ring to the opposite corner. Krash charges, shoulder first, but Kross raises his boot and Krash runs on to it, hurting his stomach. Krash staggers back and Kross makes the best of it by springing up to the top of the corner he is in and then leaping into a missile dropkick. Krash drops once more but this time he rolls aside before Kross can make a pin. Krash is swiftly back up and he shoulder charges Kross again, this time the move connects and Kross falls; Krash drops his elbow on to Kross’ neck and then pulls his opponent back to his feet to deliver a second suplex, this time a belly to belly variant. Krash covers, and gets a count of 2. Krash starts to get a little cocky, as Kross gets up he taunts him and the crowd is not pleased; Kross however answers by running in to surprise Krash with a bulldog. With the crowd behind him, Kross drags Krash to the corner and hits a Tornado DDT; he pins, and the ref is well past 2 by the time Krash responds. The pair continue to battle, and the fight ranges around the ring; both men have excellent speed, and the contest proceeds at a fast pace with blows being traded equally between the two. Kross manages to stun Krash and clombs up high for a dragonrana, but Krash recovers quickly and runs into the corner where the two resume battle perched on the turnbuckle. Krash manages to unbalance Kross and he falls backward on to the outside mats; Krash tries to hit an axe handle as Kross gets up, but Kross catches him as he comes down and slams him on to his back.

The foes fight on the outside of the ring, giving the crowd a close – up view of the action; Krash manages to knock Kross dwon with a well timed tackle, and then hops up on to the apron for some extra height before delivering a leg drop. Krash hauls Kross up and goes for a DDT, but Kross blocks the move and lifts Krash over his head into a back drop; Kross is not aware of how close the pair are to the barriers, and Krash lands on the barrer itself before tumbling into the front row and being introduced to the fans in the most direct fashion possible. Kross can’t help smiling, and politely pulls Krash back over the barrier so that the fans can resume their seats; the referee shouts the “eight” count loudly, and Kross takes the hint, climbing back into the ring and leaving Krash to follow a few moments later. Kross does not take the chance to attack Krash as he is getting back up; Krash smirks again and interprets this as a form of weakness, but Kross himself is confident in his abilities to not need to resort to what he considers “underhand” tactics. The pair circle and then lock up; they both try to kick out at one another but this results in a stalemate. Krash resolves this by wrenching himself free from the grapple, moving to the side and using a Russian Leg Sweep; he tries to hold Kross down for a pin with brute force, but Kross throws him off just after 2. The crowd gets behind Kross once again, and he battles back with conviction; he lands kick after punch after kick, and Krash is pushed right back against the ropes. Kross hooks up and hits a Fisherman’s suplex, and Krash is too dazed to respond quickly; Kross pulls him up and hits a neckbreaker, and Krash just manages to get a shoulder up before 3. Kross is ready to finish the match, and he rapidly heads to the corner post; as Krash staggers back to his feet Kross launches off for his “Redeemer” (Feliner) kick, and Krash takes the full force of the blow. Kross covers a final time, and this time Krash has no answer as the referee counts 1-2-3.

Philip: Here is your winner…………Michael Kross!

Kross stands up, and the crowd cheers him once more; Kross is not the kind of person for over – the top celebration, but his smile shows the fans that he is pleased with the win. He leaves the ring without fuss and puts his cloak back on before exiting the arena; Krash picks himself up, and as he too leaves the ring he is aware that he will need to raise his game to the next level if he is to become a dominant force in ACW; in his mind however he has no doubt that he will be able to do so, and he is already anticipating his next match.

Segment: Master and Apprentice (Credit: Bladeshadow)

The scene opens in what would appear to be Bob’s locker room, he and Bladeshadow are in the room sitting on a bench. Blade is giving Bob some tips on how to pull off a good match.

BS: OK, now remember, never go for a finishing move unless your absolutely certain for opponent is near unconscious anyway. I know it may seem odd to wait till they are already dead to use your most powerful moves, but usually finishers are the easiest to counter, especially top rope finishers, and letting your opponent counter any move let alone your favorite move set, will make you seem weak.

Bob (nodding): Uh huh, but what about showing off to the crowd? I mean, I know you’re really not supposed too, but I AM the break dancing champion after all, I HAVE to show off my moves to the crowd at least once in a while.

BS: Show boating can actually be ok, as long as it’s done at the right times, before and after the match – never during. You’re going to be facing some very experienced opponents and they will be able to capitalize on any breather you give them to come back into the match.

BOB: OK, hey thanks for all the tips, and listen, what that bastard Pdogg is doing with you and your fiancée is absolutely horrible, I can’t wait to see what you do to him once you get your hands on him at Heatwave.

BS: Thank you, I have been receiving a lot of support from the guys back here and it has been helping, but it’s still hard. But at least he has let me talk to her on the phone, to prove she’s been treated OK. She said he hasn’t mistreated her at all, but she says the place their keeping here is disgusting, with rats and shit everywhere. I swear if I knew where she was or is anyone told me, I’d get her back in a flash, and still kick that asshole’s butt just for the fun of it.

Right on cue, Pdogg appears at the doorway.

Pdogg: Ah, but if that happened, I couldn’t guarantee my match, plus I would lose all the fun I get to have.

Pdogg smirks; Blade’s outer expression is blank but he is obviously struggling to contain his emotions beneath the surface.

BS: What do you want, you testicle shitting anal wart?

Pdogg: My my, such a dirty mouth. I am just here to keep an eye on my little puppet, that’s all.

BS (Obviously enraged, but still trying to hold his temper): Well, I just here helping the kid out and giving him some tips.

Pdogg: I see, my little puppet likes to play teacher, well…..why don’t you teach him all that you know…tonight in the ring, one on one.

BS: Damn it Pdogg, I was just helping out a newbie, there is no point in bringing him into all this.

Pdogg: Careful now Blade, you seem to be forgetting your place….that could be very dangerous for your lovely fiancée. Oh, and before you even think about just laying down, or going easy on him, I wouldn’t suggest it, because tonight, the title is on the line!

Blade gets up and rushes toward Pdogg, looking ready to kill him, the fire in his eyes burning brighter than ever. He is about to strike, but then imagines his fiancée, back at the undisclosed location, bound and tied, and he thinks of what Pdogg will do to her, and at the last possible nanosecond he uses every possible bit of will power he has left to pull back and stop the assault.

Pdogg: Heh, that’s what I thought, now go get ready for your match, PUPPET.

Blade still looks like he is about to kill Pdogg, but instead he steps back and walks slowly out of the locker room. He pauses at the doorway and turns back to Bob, who is still trying to come to terms with Pdogg’s announcement.

BS: Hey kid, I guess you will be using those tips I gave you sooner than we thought, unfortunately. I am…truly sorry.

Blade walks slowly back to his own locker room as the scene fads to black.

Match 4: Brian Carnage v Yamata No Orochi (Credit: White Rose)

The Sold Out crowd in the ACW Arena have been on their feet yelling all night. For weeks they have anticipated this match and it’s finally here. Philip enters the ring decked out in his tuxedo and brings the mike to his mouth, the crowd grows relatively silent.

Philip: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Yokohama, Japan, please welcome Yamato No Orochi!

Yamato No Orochi’s Theme hits and he walks out from the behind the curtains. Orochi is a huge and imposing figure, the fans at the aisle way are in awe at his physical size. The Fans boo Yamato and it does not affect him at all, he is a man possessed and as he enters the ring, there is significant booing from the crowd. Yamato goes to his corner as Philip brings the mic to his face again.

Philip: And Next, from Greenock, Scotland. Please welcome Brian Carnage.

Duality by Slipknot hits and Carnage comes out to a massive pop. He is a rookie, hot off a victory over who some people call The Rookie Killer. He runs to the ring quickly and begins to exchange blows with Orochi. Philip leaves the ring and the Referee calls for the bell.

Bell Rings

They exchange blows, with the bigger and stronger Orochi taking control early. Orochi hits Carnage with a barrage of clotheslines and punches. Orochi gives club like right hand shots to Carnage and throws him into the turnbuckle, where he is Irish whipped full speed to the other turnbuckle. Orochi follows with a brutal clothesline and he knocks Carnage to the ground, but when he picks up Carnage he hits him with a sidewalk slam, Orochi goes for the pin 1….2, but Carnage kicks out rather easily. Orochi and Carnage get up at roughly the same time and Yamato Irish whips Carnage against the ropes only to be hit by a flying cross body block into the pin, The referee counts 1…., but Orochi powers out easily. Carnage gets to his feet seconds before Orochi and hits him with a Standing flipping dropkick, but Orochi is barely phased and rises again only to be hit by a double underhook DDT. This move takes Orochi down long enough for Carnage to climb the top turnbuckle and jump off for a perfect moonsault into the pin, the Referee counts 1……..2….but Orochi kicks out again and rises to his feed quickly to hit Carnage with a furious clothesline. Orochi has regained control of the match and hits Carnage with one Powerbomb, but he does not go for the pin and instead hits Carnage with a fall away slam. Orochi aggressively covers Carnage, the Referee counts 1……….2……,but Orochi kicks out it the nick of time. Orochi and Carnage get to their feet at the same time and the fight degenerates into a brawl yet again. Orochi hits Carnage with Spine Buster and it becomes all to clear to Carnage that he can’t win a brawl with Orochi. Orochi picks Carnage up to attempt an Irish whip into the nearest corner turnbuckle, but Carnage reverses the Irish whip and goes for a top rope hurricanrana that hits perfectly, but Orochi rolls completely out of the ring. Carnage waits in the ring and faces Orochi, he awaits anything Orochi has to throw at him. Orochi grabs a steel chair from next to the timekeepers chair and goes tries to enter the ring, but the Referee will not have it and is trying to stop his entrance at every turn. As the Referee is distracted the crowd boos as they see Jack Fury run out and attack Brian Carnage, hitting him with the Fury Effect DDT and exits through the crowd. Orochi drops the chair and enters the ring and hits Carnage with the Orochi-Naga for good measure and pins Carnage, the Referee counts 1………2………3

Bell Rings.

Philip: Here is your winner by pinfall, Yamato No Orochi

Orochi has his hand raised and has made quite an impression on the crowd during this match, they boo him loudly. He walks backstage as focused as he came and Carnage is trying to make sense of what just happened. He looks up the Ramp to see Fury laughing. He does not know when it will end, but he does know one thing, his war with Fury is far from over.

Match 5: Double Oh-4 v White Rose - Submission Match (Credit: White Rose)

The fans in the sold-out ACW arena are on their feet after what has been so far a epic night of ACW style action. The have been anxiously awaiting this match since it was announced earlier this week and then leaked on the Internet a few days ago. This crowd feels particularly happy with the show so far and chant "A-C-Dub A-C-Dub", but they know that the show can only get better before the end. The fans’ cheering is stopped when Philip enters the ring.

Philip: Ladies and Gentleman, this match is scheduled for one fall and it is a special submission match. Introducing first from Saint Petersburg Russia, she is 6 feet 4 inches tall and is weighing in at 175 pounds, Alexandra Kaesar, The White Rose!

Scars of Time by Yasunori Mitsuda hits and Rose begins her walk down the arena, her face etched with a stern look of concentration and obsession. The crowd lets out a mixture of boos and cheers, some have forgiven and some have not. This reaction only serves to motivate Rose even further. She walks down the ramp and enters the ring and climbs the nearest turnbuckle and raises one arm above her head, the crowd boos even more. Rose stands in her corner and awaits her challenge. After this ends Philip raises the mike to his mouth again.

Philip: And next, from San Diego, California, he is 5 feel 11 inches tall and is weighing in 185 pounds, 004!

Stand Up by Ludacris hits and 004 makes his entrance through the curtains. The crowd cheers loudly for 004, they love him with all their hearts and show it with their cheers. 004 gives high fives to outreaching hands and then quickly runs to the ring and slides in. 004 waves to the crowd and takes his corner. Rose requests a mic and is handed one by the timekeeper. Philip exits the ring and Rose raises the mic to her mouth.

Rose: Out of Death, Lord Ridley shall return and our Journey, once thought to be over, will begin anew. I have prepared Lord Ridley a gift.….. a sacrifice is your will. 004 you are the sacrifice, consider yourself lucky, you are about to experience pure bliss.

Rose drops the mic and charges 004, the Referee calls for the bell and the match begins.

The bell rings.

004 quickly sidesteps Rose’s oncoming charge and turns her around for a bodyslam, but Rose slips out and pushes 004 out of the ring. Rose runs forward and dives over the top rope, but 004 slides out of the way and Rose hits the guardrail. Rose struggles to her feet and is met by a clothesline from the waiting 004. 004 goes to Irish Whip Rose into the steel steps, but Rose reverses and 004 hits the steel steps with a sickening thud. Rose retrieves a steel chair from under the ring and bats it to the ground a few times so the crowd and 004 can hear it. 004 has his back turned and turns to see Rose swing the chair and hit him with the chair’s edge in the right knee. 004 howls in pain and Rose’s eyes begin to light up and she is obviously beginning to enjoy her self. Rose savagely hits 004 three times in his left knee, then like a vicious predator toying with her prey, waits for him to rise again. As 004 rises, limping up slowly, he turns quickly and Rose throws him the chair as hard as she can, but 004 catches it only to get a drop kick to the knee by Rose. Rose grabs a spare extension cord cable from under the ring, the cord itself is about 8 feet long and she throws all of it in the ring. As this is happening 004 has risen to his feet and he slides in the ring. Rose enters the ring where she and 004 exchange blows and 004 ends the exchange with a stiff DDT. 004 tries to quickly rise to his feet, but his right leg buckles out from under him and he falls back to the ground. Rose rises to her feet first and tries to lock in her Half Boston Crab, but 004 kicks her backwards and staggers to his feet and gives her a Belly to Belly suplex. 004 sees this as his chance and locks in the Camel Clutch on Rose. 004 has never used to move up to this point and has often thought he would never need such a move, but now he wishes he had mastered the move as Rose quickly clutches the bottom rope and he is force to break the hold. As 004 tries to pick Rose up, he is hit with a well put low blow by Rose, and it brings him to his knees. With 004 down, Rose goes up top and hits here version of the Moonsault and it connects perfectly. Rose gets off of 004 and takes a few seconds to rest in the corner of the ring. She rises to her feet, picks up the extension cord, and wraps it around 004’s neck in an effort to choke him out, he struggles ferociously for a few seconds and slowly begins to stop his struggle. The fans begin to side with 004 and a chant of "oh-four" breaks out throughout the arena. The Referee begins to check 004 for consciousness and after going down 2 and a half times, 004 begins to get an Adrenaline rush and quickly hits Rose with a modified Ace Crusher. 004 follows up the Ace Crusher with a German Suplex on Rose as she gets to her feet.

The "oh-four" chants grow louder as 004 picks Rose up and hits her with a flurry of punches and follows it up with a Super kick using his hurt right leg, but the pain is nothing to him at this time, he is working on pure adrenaline by now. Unfortunately for 004, Rose catches the kick and reverses the move into a Dragon Screw which causes more pain to 004’s right leg. Rose stalks 004 and waits for him to get up before clipping his knee out from under him. The crowd is booing Rose loudly for her heartless tactics and this motivates her more. The gleam of pleasure in her eyes reach a new height as she eyes the extension cord still lying in the ring. Methodically, she wraps the cord around his knee, tying it into a knot and wrapping the other end onto the turnbuckle post. There is little of the rope left as Rose’s plan becomes clear, she picks 004 up, and throws him over the top rope. He does not hit the ground and is hanging inches from the ground and the cord is causing his hurt knee to lose feeling and become completely numb. Rose watches in glee as 004 tries in vain to free himself. Rose slides out the ring and picks up the steel chair from earlier, then in an act of Malice hits 004’s knee three times. Rose unties the rope and 004 lands on the ground with a thud, she picks him up to his feet, slides him into the ring, and follows after him. Rose goes to suplex 004, but he slides out in front of her and hits her with The Phoenix DDT, a move that renders both combatants motionless. 004 and Rose both struggle to get to their feet, 004 gets to his feet sooner and locks in the Phoenix Deathlock on Rose. The crowd’s cheering has reached its height for the match as Rose begins to struggle and look for a way out of the manoeuvre. Rose struggles for the ropes for quite a while before she finally makes it to the rope. 004 stalks behind Rose as she makes it to her feet and as she gets to her feet he puts her into German Suplex position, but at the last second she moves behind 004 and hits him with a Dragon Suplex. With 004 down, Rose locks in the figure four leglock and she ferociously applies pressure to his injured leg and 004 begins to hold his face in pain, his leg has taken a horrible amount of pain and he can not hold on any longer, he finally taps. The Referee calls for the bell.

The Bell Rings

Philip: The Winner of this bout by submission, Alexandra "The White Rose" Kaesar

As Philip is announcing the winner, Rose does not release her figure four leglock. 4 Referees come out and have to pry her off of 004. Rose walks backstage with a look of sick pleasure on her face, but the fans are not as happy and they boo her until she is gone. 004 is helped to the back by the referees and luckily it appears his leg is not severely injured. The fans cheer 004 as he leaves the ring, limping.

Segment – An unlikely alliance (Credit: BK London)

In their locker room, BK and Jakie are making final preparations for their match.

London: So Jakie, who did you get as our partner?

Jakie: Me? You were supposed to get the partner.

London: No, I wasn't, you were supposed to.

Jakie: No, you were.

London: You mean that our match is up in less than 5 minutes and we don't have a partner yet?! Shit Jakie, we’re in big trouble!

London and Jakie are wondering what to do when a voice is heard from the doorway.

Voice: Gentlemen, it appears that you have a problem……may I be of assistance?

Jakie is the first to look over at the door; his expression instantly shifts from one of panic to that of astonishment. London is facing the other way, and Jakie slaps him hard to make him turn around.

London: OW! What did you do that f…….

London turns, and he too looks absolutely gobsmacked as he stares at the person standing in the doorway……..

Fade Out.

Match 6: Top Draw & Mystery Partner v Poco Locos & Spider

The crowd has no idea what to make of the scene they have just witnessed, but before they can draw any conclusions “Beautiful People” kicks up on the sound system and the new Tag Team Champions appear on the stage.

Philip: Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is a six – man tag competition, set for one fall. Introducing first, the ACW Tag Team Champions….Rey McFoley and El Loco, the Poco Locos!

The Pocos come to the ring, flipping off the crowd and displaying their belts flamboyantly. They climb the turnbuckles and Rey in particular delights in showing off his double gold.

As they do this, “Transform” hits, and the powerful form of Spider emerges into the arena lights.

Philip: And their partner, from San Diego California……the ACW Entertainment Title Holder, Spider!

Spider also annoys the crowd by taunting them with his own title belt; he enters the ring and slaps hands with the Pocos in greeting.

“Warrior” starts to play, and BK London and Liljakie enter the arena side by side, presenting a united front to their foes.

Philip: And their opponents……..firstly, the team of BK London and Liljakie, known together as Top Draw!

BK and Jakie don’t waste any time getting to the ring; they jump right in and go toe to toe with the Pocos and Spider. As they stare, an assistant is seen rushing to ringside; he calls Philip over and hands him a small card. Philip reads it, assuming that it gives the details for Top Draw’s hastily acquired 3rd man, but as he reads it his jaw drops.

Spider smirks at BK and Jakie.

Spider: I guess it’s your turn to find out what fun a handicap match can be, huh guys?

BK and Jakie don’t say a word, but their faces are illuminated by wide smiles, and their opponents start to get just a little uncomfortable. The crowd is growing a touch restless, but suddenly the lights dim, and lasers streak through the black – light which now bathes the arena.

Everyone is half expecting Bob’s theme to hit, but instead the arena is shaken as Reveille’s “What You Got” screams into violent life, and a black – clad figure explodes from behind the curtain as the first verse kicks in, accompanied by a single pyro blast….

You better buck- buck- buckle up, prepare for this impact-
car crash whiplash, 'bam', snap your neck back in half
why can't I just be realistic?
give 'em what they want and make the biddies go ballistic…<br>
The light makes it tricky to see the face of the new arrival, but his attire sparks memories of the Hardy Boyz in their heyday; he wears black bondage pants, a black fishnet shirt and steel toed boots. He leaps and springs about, going hyper all the way down to the ring.

Sadistic motherfuckers playing complicated -
well never underestimate the underestimated
opinionated, elevated, sticking to my guns
and I think you’re gonna get just what you got coming…….

As the track reaches a peak, the lights dim further and the figure jumps up on to the apron; he produces a pair of glowsticks and twirls them skilfully about; their light reveals that he is wearing a ball gag, and something else around his neck…..

That's the penalty -
payback's a bitch so you best keep running
that's the penalty -
It's what you got coming!

The golden ankh glows faintly, and the crowd goes absolutely postal as Ridley backflips over the ropes and into the ring.

Bell Rings.

The lights come back on in the arena, and Spider and the Pocos stare at Ridley in disbelief; they don’t have long to gawp, however, as Jakie is ready to start the match and he selects Rey by default, starting to attack since the bell has already sounded. The referee orders Spider and EL out of the ring, and BK and Ridley also exit on the opposite side; Ridley removes the ball gag and ankh on the apron as Jakie makes some early progress against Rey, whipping him to the ropes and then lifting his foot high so that Rey runs back into it and falls. Jakie drops down for a pin but Rey is already getting back up, and he goes on the attack himself, kicking at Jakie’s head before pulling him to his feet and giving him a hip toss. Jakie lands hard but he recovers well and the two wrestlers clash again, exchanging blows with considerable fire; Rey decides that his team needs to capialise while the smaller Jakie is in the ring, and he swiftly tags in Spider, who understands immediately what is required of him. Jakie weaves about to evade some of Spider’s blows, but it only takes a single massive punch from Spider to send Jakie to the mat. Spider scoops Jakie up and lands a powerbomb before covering; Jakie is out at 2 and tries to make a dash for his corner, but Spider catches him by the leg just before he is able to tag. Spider takes hold of Jakie’s leg and whirls 180 degrees to throw him back into the Poco corner, where the tag champs waste no time in attacking him; BK protests to the referee but this just helps the opposition, who are able to do some serious harm to Jakie in a 3 on 1 assault while the ref’s back is turned. Jakie however then has a stroke of luck; he manages to duck one of Spider’s punches and Spider knocks Rey off of the turnbuckle instead. EL shouts angrily at Spider, who yells back, and their infighting gives Jakie the few moments he needs to give Spider the slip and reach BK in his own corner.

[Alicia "Atomic" Kitsune]

BK rushes forward and grabs Spider from behind for a quick german suplex; he follows up with a frankensteiner while Spider is still dazed, and the crowd roars as he pins for a 2 count. Spider though throws him off and looks rather annoyed; he moves in on BK and fells him with a DDT before pulling him back to his feet and whipping him to the ropes. BK sees Spider prepare for a big boot and he grabs the ropes to prevent his rebound, but Spider uses this to his advantage by running in and thwacking BK around the head a couple of times before making a signal to the Pocos. EL and Rey kick up a fuss on the apron and the ref is distracted; this allows Spider to lock on the tarantula hold (an unusual choice for a power wrestler, but it proves to be very effective and BK’s whole body is wrenched in a painful fashion). Jakie sees BK struggling to escape and he darts around the apron to attack Spider, forcing him to break the hold and drop down on to the outside. Jakie jumps down after him and hits a crossbody as Spider stands back up; the Pocos now protest for real, but the damage has been done as Jakie bundles Spider back into the ring to the waiting BK and gets back to his corner before the ref sees anything amiss. BK moves to pin Spider, but Spider shoves him off; Spider is still a little dizzy from his fall to the outside, and so he hits BK with a full nelson slam before switching places with El Loco, who is ready and waiting. EL climbs the turnbuckle and swantons off to hit BK before he can rise fully from the previous slam; EL pins straight away and gets a count of 2.5. BK and EL fight together, but fatigue is now kicking in for BK and for every blow he lands, EL scores 2; several times BK tries to get back to his corner but each time EL lets him get close before dragging him back. EL grabs BK and nails a stalling vertical suplex before locking on a Sharpshooter; BK stifles his inclination to cry out, but EL just grins and increases his force. For nearly 2 minutes BK withstands the pain before he approaches his breaking point; then, with a colossal effort he manages to claw his way to the nearest rope and get a hand to it. Jakie yells at BK to tag, and both BK and EL try to reach Jakie; unfortunately for BK, EL gets there first and he clotheslines Jakie off of the apron. EL grins, but the smile is wiped from his face as he turns and sees Ridley slap BK’s outstretched palm…………

The crowd goes mental as Ridley leaps into a springboard savate kick from the rope he was hanging on to seconds before; it connects directly with EL, and he drops like a sack of potatoes. Ridley is right back up and he charges Spider and Rey on the apron, smacking them simultaneously and knocking them to the floor; he spins on one foot and races back to EL, swinging his foot for a crushing enziguri that sends EL straight back to the mat. Ridley jumps up high before dropping his knees on to EL; he pins, but EL retains enough of his senses to kick away at 2.5. Ridley doesn’t let up his frenetic pace for a single second; he scoops up EL and throws him out through the ropes to land on top of Rey. With the crowd shouting itself stupid Ridley backs up a little and then launches into a huge suicide plancha out of the ring, using the top rope to spring up and collecting both the Poco Locos on impact. As Ridley jumps back up Spider grabs him from behind for a quick german suplex, but this just gives BK and Jakie an excuse to get stuck in and they launch a joint assault on all their opponents. Chaos reigns, and the referee shouts at the participants to separate; Ridley bundles EL back into the ring and continues to use the ropes as he hits a quebrada that flattens EL as he tries to stand back up. Ridley pins again, but the count is disrupted by both Rey and Spider charging into the ring after temporarily disabling BK and Jakie. Ridley rolls away and EL gets back up; with a look of thunder on their faces, all 3 of Ridley’s opponents charge him at once. But Ridley knows exactly what he wants to do; with exquisite timing he leaps toward his foes, catches EL and Rey in a double headlock, and then grabs Spider with his ankles to execute a triple head drag / frankensteiner takedown that blows away everyone who witnesses it. The Pocos and Spider are all floored, and BK and Jakie quickly drag Spider and Rey out of the ring so that Ridley can finish the match without further interruption. EL is badly dazed but he still gets up and comes forward to try and attack Ridley once more; the pair exchange punches, and Ridley drives EL back to the ropes before kicking him in the gut so hard that EL doubles over in pain. Ridley raises his arms and signals for his finisher; he throws himself against the opposite set of ropes before rushing back toward EL, and he “runs” up the ropes themselves to execute a kind of flipping, swinging neckbreaker on his foe. EL takes the full force of the “Abracadabra”, and he sprawls on the mat; Ridley has only to make a loose cover to get the 1-2-3 count, and the fans and Top Draw are euphoric as the bell rings.

Philip: Here are your winners……..Top Draw, and Ridley!

BK and Jakie bound into the ring and jump about in celebration; they slap Ridley on the back and thank him, and although Ridley smiles at their approbation he does not stay around to join their festivities. Ridley slides out of the ring, and although the Pocos and Spider are completely furious they do not have the stomach for further battle on this night.

As Ridley walks back up the ramp, there is a sudden scream of joy from backstage, and Rose flies down the ramp, leaping at Ridley and forcing him to catch her; she almost crushes the air out of his lungs and starts to kiss him, but Ridley looks shocked and first tries to drop her before actually pushing her away from him. Rose slips back and lands on the metal ramp on her backside; she and Ridley stare at one another, and Rose looks utterly bewildered.

Ridley: Whoa, do all the new guys here get that when they win their first match?

Rose: Wha…..? I don’t understand…..My lord, it’s me, Alexandra!

Ridley: Yeah, sure, I know you……you’re Rose. Are all the women here as excitable as you? And what’s with all this “My lord” crap?

Rose doesn’t know what is going on; she continues to stare at Ridley, who is becoming quite uncomfortable with the whole situation. Rose looks deep into Ridley’s eyes, and tears start to well up in her own as she begins to grasp the heartbreaking truth.

Rose: You….you don’t remember, do you? That’s why you’re…….different.

The tears trickle down Rose’s cheeks as she speaks, and Ridley is taken aback.

Ridley: Jesus, look, I’m sorry……I don’t know what I’ve said to upset you, but I just got here….

Ridley reaches down and tries to help Rose up, but she pulls away from him; still crying, she backs away and then flees from the arena. Ridley wears a look of pained confusion, and he continues to look distressed as BK and Jakie catch up to him and lead him back to the locker rooms.

Match 7: Bladeshadow v Bob

Everyone has been taken by surprise by PDogg’s choice of opponent for Bladeshadow, yet despite the apparent huge mismatch between the participants the crowd are still keen to see what the ambitious newcomer Bob can do against the ACW World Champion.

Philip: The next match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the ACW World Championship! Making his way to the ring, from Los Angeles California……..Bob Di’Las!

”Stomp it to my beat” hits, and Bob dances energetically out on to the stage and down to the ring; he greets the fans and looks ready to make the most of his unexpected opportunity as the black lights get a second workout for the evening.

Then “The Game” fills the arena, and the crowd ramps up a few more decibels as Blade walks out into the spotlights……..

Philip: And his opponent, from upstate New York………..he is the defending ACW World Champion, Bladeshadow!

The crowd is as supportive of Blade as ever, but Blade is more withdrawn than normal and he barely notices the crowd as he walks slowly to the ring. He looks distant, and it is evident that the strain of recent events is starting to take its toll.

The referee takes the title belt and shows it to the crowd, and Philip steps out of the ring once more; Bob bounces on the spot and faces Blade as the referee signals for the match to begin.

Bell Rings.

Blade and Bob watch one another closely as they circle the ring; Bob is trying to remember what Blade himself told him earlier, while Blade is determined not to underestimate his challenger. Bob is the first to make a move, and he bounces from foot to foot while stinging Blade with his punches; Blade takes a few hits before striking back with a powerful kick that literally catches Bob on the hop and sends him crashing to the mat. Blade elbow drops before going to work on Bob’s legs as he lies on the mat, stamping and kicking to try and make it more difficult for Bob to use his natural speed. Bob realises the danger and rolls himself out of trouble and back to his feet, moving straight into a fast clothesline, but Blade braces himself and Bob is stopped in his tracks, bending his arm painfully against the rock – solid Blade. As Bob clutches his arm Blade grabs it and whips him against the ropes, delivering a big Spinebuster on Bob’s return; Blade makes the first pin of the match but Bob kicks and twists away before 2. Bob shows he is a quick learner, and turns the tables on Blade; he performs a series of break – dancing moves on the mat, and as Blade moves in to attack he launches up and drives both feet into Blade’s chin with surprising force. Blade is taken by surprise and staggers back; Bob jumps back up to his feet and DDTs Blade before his head clears. Bob rushes to pin, but Blade throws him off when the ref has barely started the count. The crowd is impressed by Bob’s aggressive attitude and he beams as the crowd cheers him; Blade starts to look more than a little annoyed, and the pressure of the previous few days begins to show itself as Blade bears down on Bob and unleashes a storm of punches and kicks with great ferocity.

Blade is releasing his pent up anger and stress, and Bob is the unfortunate person who feels the force of Blade’s dark side. Inexperienced and having never faced such an onslaught Bob tries to protect himself, but Blade is made hugely powerful by his anger. Blade lifts Bob and hits a backbreaker across his shoulders that makes Bob cry out; Blade is so angry that he forgets his own rule and goes for the Lights of Orion, but Bob manages to struggle free before Blade can execute the move. Bob is a little dazed, but he has a naturally fast recovery from dizziness as it is something a good breakdancer has to learn to handle, and he dodges an attempted missile dropkick; Blade is back on his feet and he runs forward toward Bob, but Bob counters into a back drop. The crowd cheers again, and now Blade’s expression is utterly dark; yelling undeserved abuse at Bob he grabs him and powerslams him into the canvas before kicking him several times in the head. The crowd is not at all happy with this and they even start to give Blade a little heel – type heat; this seems to pierce the red mist that has descended on Blade, and as he looks down he sees bruising start to appear on Bob’s back and face from his kicks, and he steps back a little way, closing his eyes and trying to focus. Bob picks himself back up, and he looks both shocked and angry at Blade’s treatment of him; Bob decides that he needs to show Blade and everyone else that he will not be treated in such a manner. With the crowd behind him, Bob whips Blade into the corner and backflips toward him, gripping his opponent tightly before hitting the monkey flip to complete his “Bobert Flip” move. Blade is driven into the mat, and Bob swiftly follows with his “tornado” spin and leg drop combo to Blade’s chest; Bob pins and hooks the leg, and he earns a 2 count on the champion.

Bob springs to his feet and jumps about the ring, winding up the crowd; behind him, Blade gets back up and he punishes the rookie for his carelessness, spearing him from behind and driving him against the turnbuckle. Blade kicks Bob in the back, but Bob flips over, grabs the ropes and kicks forward into Blade’s gut, pushing him away and down on to the mat. Bob moves forward and suplexes the champ, and then as Blade gets up he jumps toward him, holds on and sets up to nail his Dance Breaker finisher. The move hits successfully, and Bob’s hopes soar as the referee drops to count……but Blade throws an arm in the air at 2.5. Bob swears, and decides that he should try his alternative finisher, the Omni Flare; he starts to do an Airflare (one handed spin) close to Blade as he tries to get up, and by repeatedly switching hands he makes his legs collide at considerable speed with Blade numerous times before he gets wise and rolls clear of danger. Blade is a little dazed, but much less so than Bob; too dizzy to focus, Bob gets a rough fix on Blade and charges blindly. Blade easily evades, and Bob manages to fall out of the ring, smacking himself on the apron in the process. Blade senses that this is the mistake he has waited for, and he casually slides out of the ring to pick up the dizzy Bob. Blade knows exactly what he wants to do; he lifts Bob up and uses a straight F5 to throw him into the steel steps. There is a loud crash, and the camera shows Bob sprawled out in the wreckage; Bob has no built – up tolerance for these kind of blows and his eyes roll back in his head. Blade picks him up and rolls him into the ring; he hits the full Lights of Orion more for show than through necessity, and makes the pin for the 1-2-3.

Philip: Here is your winner………and still ACW World Champion, Bladeshadow!

Blade stands up and takes back his belt from the referee; he pauses to see that Bob is conscious before leaving the ring, and he looks a little ashamed at the ferocity of his attack on his inexperienced opponent. Blade walks away, and as he does so Bob gets back to his feet; Bob is obviously not happy with Blade’s treatment of him, and he calls out angrily to the champ from the ring.

Bob: Bladeshadow! You may have pinned me, but we’re not finished here! Come back!

Blade pauses, but he just shakes his head and continues on his way until he disappears into the backstage area. Bob continues to shout, but in doing so he misses the approach of TNT from behind him, carrying a familiar and heavy – looking trophy with him….

TNT springs into the ring and goes straight for Bob, attacking him with his own World Breakdancing Trophy. Bob tries to defend himself, but TNT knocks him down; As TNT stands and smirks there is a sudden surge of noise from the crowd and Amo rockets out of the back and down to the ring to help his friend. TNT doesn’t fancy his chances 2 on 1, and throwing the trophy at Bob’s head he retreats back through the crowd.

TNT: Screw this, you’re not worth it Bob! But I’ll get my revenge on you soon enough, just you wait!

Amo gestures angrily at TNT, but he does not follow him; instead he helps his partner to rise, and he raises Bob’s hand to signify his superiority over TNT. The crowd cheers the pair loudly, and their applause accompanies Bob and Amo all the way back to the locker rooms.
