Warfare opens with a panning shot of the arena, showing the hordes of ACW fans proudly waving their signs and banners. What the shot also shows, however, is that around the edge of the arena there are a number of men in dark suits; they appear to be watching the crowd closely, as if on guard duty.
The titantron then flares into life, showing Yoko Satoshi arriving at the ACW arena and immediately heading toward her locker room to prepare for the night.
As she opens the door to her room and steps inside, she sees Orochi, asleep on a futon in the corner. She walks over to the single table and sets down the only thing she has with her, the ACW Lightweight Title.
She hears a shuffling noise behind her as she sets it down, and turns to see Orochi, now awake and sitting up.
They make eye contact, and there is a long silence for several moments. Orochi then nods, and Yoko nods in response.
Yoko: He's probably in his office.
Orochi stands, and they exit the locker room together.
Fade Out.
OOC Note: Credit goes to Orochi and Yoko for the opening segment.

Segment: A Bright and Orange Day (Credit: Jack Fury)
Bob and Amo are seen in the hallway with a bunch of oranges and laughing away to each other…
Amo: Really man, you didn’t actually put that stuff in his shampoo…?
Bob: Yeah dude I did.
Amo: Hahaha! I would love to see the look on his face, but Bob are you sure you aren’t in over your head here, I mean he might just snap, I don’t mean to be nasty to you my friend but do you think you can handle him by yourself?
Bob: Dude, don’t worry about it, I mean it was only hair dye, he will take it as a joke
Amo: I seriously doubt that, he is all bad mood, like he is always aggravated at something or other
Bob: Maybe it’s haemorrhoids or something
Amo: Haha, man you crack me up Bob, but anyway you know I have your back if things get too rough….
Bob: Amo, Don’t worry about it, what can he possibly do, I mean…OH!
Bob is cut off as he notices Jack Fury coming down the hall, him and Amo struggle to contain their laughter. Fury does not look amused and now has bright orange hair, he receives several sniggers as he walks done the hall, he stops each snigger by staring at each person, he finally comes up to Bob and Amo who are now eating oranges…
Bob: Yo! Dude! What’s up? You want an orange?
Bob holds out the oranges to Fury…
Fury: YOU LITTLE PUNK!
Fury throws the oranges down the hall and starts to go for Bob, but is cut off by the tall figure of Amo, Fury does not back down though.
Fury: Amo! If you know what’s good for you, you’ll step aside right now!
Amo: Isn’t going to happen, you want Bob you are going to have to go through me first.
Fury: Fine! If that’s what it takes to get at that little punk over there I’m more than willing to go through you...hmph!
Fury storms off down the hallway shoving Amo with his shoulder as he goes by…
Bob: Hey! I like the orange hair, it’s a good look for you!
Bob turns back to Amo.
Bob: Look man you didn’t have to do that, I can handle him, I don’t want you involved
Amo: Its ok my little friend, I want to help you out in this, besides I don’t think it is wise to piss him off more than he already is…<br> Bob looks just a little bit annoyed at Amo’s manner, but he holds his tongue and the pair walk away.
Fade Out.

Segment: One down, three to go (Credit: TNT)
TNT stands backstage, as he becomes visible the crowd boos loudly.
TNT sees a random worker backstage.
TNT: Hey you!
Random Worker: Hmm?
TNT: Yeah you, come here...
Random Worker: What is it Mr. TNT?
TNT: Whoa junior, I didn't tell you to speak, you piece of trash. What I wanted you to do was tell me, that you saw me Beat Brian Carnage in the ring, 1...2...3 after he was hit with the RKO, not knowing what happened! Go on Junior!
Random Worker: Well actually, I missed it.....I was…..
TNT interrupts him by slapping him.
TNT: WHAT? IN THE HELL?! ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?! You BIIIITCH!
Crowd Laughs.
TNT: NO, DON’T LAUGH YOU FRIKIN IDIOTS!
Quickly the Crowd boos once again. Kevin Anderson is nearby and comes up to TNT.
Kevin: TNT, what do you think you're doing? You've just assaulted one of my fellow workers….
TNT: SHUT THE HELL UP YOU CHICKEN SHIT! You have got a lot of nerve to come up to TNT and talk like that! huh? Who do you think you are?
Anderson: I'm Kev...
TNT: Whoa whoa whoa, sorry if your hearing is a little bit fucked up but did I tell you to answer? And I bet you didn't think I would keep my promise and beat the junior champ 1..2..3 in that ring did ja? huh?!
Kevin: Actually I didn't..
TNT: Figures, I bet you were in your lil’ locker room thinking of ways to catch your own fluids with a straw and cup right?
Kevin has a confused and disgusted look on his face. The crowd laughs again.
TNT: What did i say before to you people? HUH?!
Crowd Boos.
TNT: Yeah, you some bitches...now, what in the blue hell are you talking about you yellowed toothed country hillbilly, not seeing me woop that piece of comic book trash, Brian Carnage, the Junior Champion. Anyway, to tell you the truth, that was the beginning of the reign of Emperor of the Ring, that TNT, me, is gonna get later on this month. It doesn't matter who wins the next match, whether its Jack Fury, or Jonny boi G, I will still woop the winner's ass like he’s never had it wooped before!
Kevin: Well then, what are your thoughts on tonight’s Match of Daredevil and Bladeshadow….?
TNT: Like i said a while back, like when Bob had that chance, the Rookie is gonna get owned by Bladeshadow, just as much as BOB got fucked up in the back when he went "1 on 1" with Bladeshadow, anyway, I would make a better opponent for Bladeshadow, but if the guy wants to live easily and NOT get his assed wooped by THE hottest talent in ACW right here and NOW……
TNT is about to go on, but then he is interrupted by a large man in a dark suit and shades.
Mystery man: Sir, you are needed in the main locker room. At once.
TNT is about to turn his verbal cannons on the newcomer, but something in the man’s demeanor stops him. TNT turns back to Kevin.
TNT: Remember Junior, your looking at the next Emperor of the Ring.....IF you can just take all that and Choke on it.....Junior...(Crowd Says it with him)
TNT: Heh...
TNT smirks, and then walks away down the corridor with the dark suited man right behind him.
Fade out.

Segment: Zero tolerance
The titantron shows a shot from within the corridors of the backstage area; the camera tracks along and then swings to enter the main locker room where almost the entire roster is gathered together; Orochi, Yoko and TNT have evidently all made it there successfully. Chairman Gingerdude is at one end of the room; he is smartly dressed as if trying to re – enforce his authority. [/i]
Ginger: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ve called you all here because there are a few items of business which I need to discuss. Firstly, as some of you are aware I have to make an unavoidable trip on personal business which will mean that I am not able to be present for next Monday’s warfare. Following discussions with the rest of the board it was agreed that we would allow one of the roster members to take responsibility for the booking of that show, and that this person would be chosen though a grand battle royale match, thus giving our fans the opportunity to see our best and brightest in action. Those of you who expressed an interest have already been notified of the arrangements, and as you know that match was scheduled to take place tonight. And despite rumours to the contrary, this 20 man match will indeed take place as intended, so those of you here who signed up should get yourselves ready as soon as this meeting ends.
There is a low buzz of conversation, and Ginger pauses to let it die back before going on.
Ginger: Now I know everyone here witnessed the events at the end of Meltdown, and many of you have been asking me about the condition of co – chairman WCW and Pdogg. Both sustained heavy injuries and blood loss, and they were kept in intensive care over the weekend. I’m pleased to say that both have now been removed from the critical list, but I have to tell you that Pdogg in particular suffered extensive damage to the nerves and muscles in his knee, and at this point the doctors are highly doubtful that he will ever regain sufficient strength in the joint to allow him to compete again.
There are a few small gasps of surprise and shock at this.
Ginger: People, I want to make one thing very clear, right now. Despite what certain parties may have claimed on that show, there will be NO repeat of any such attacks, on any member of this company. As I have taken full executive control of ACW in WCW’s absence, I have brought in a number of new security personnel who are stationed throughout the arena and the backstage areas. They are fully trained in self defence and personal protection – and they have instructions to use any means necessary to ensure the safety of everyone here.
Ginger stares right at Rose and Venom, who are leaning against a wall at the back of the room. Rose and Venom ignore him, but it’s clear that they are listening to every word said. Ridley is, as usual, giving the meeting a miss, but Ginger knows that his message will reach him nonetheless….whether he chooses to pay it any heed is another matter entirely.
Ginger: Ok everyone, that’s all I have to say. If you have any questions, I’ll be in my office as usual.
Ginger walks smartly out the door, and the scene fades out.

Segment: A new alliance (Credit: Yoko / Orochi)
Orochi is waiting in a hallway with his arms crossed, with Yoko standing impatiently next to him.
Philp emerges from a nearby door and approaches them.
Yoko: Well?
Philip: He says he doesn't like the idea.
Orochi uncrosses his arms and glares at Philip.
Yoko: Did he say why?
Philip: He says you're too different.
Yoko and Orochi march past Philip toward the room.
Philip: Stop! He doesn't want you in there!
They enter the room regardless. Ginger looks up from his desk as they enter.
Ginger: You! You can't come in here. ESPECIALLY you!
He points to Orochi, but Yoko ignores him.
Yoko: What's this about you not liking our idea?
Ginger: Don't take it personally; It just...isn't logical from a business standpoint, is all. Please leave, before I call security.
Yoko looks up at Orochi.
Yoko: I think he's scared of us.
Orochi grins, and slams his hands down onto Ginger's desk, causing him to jump.
Yoko: Just give us what we want, and we'll leave.
Ginger examines both of them for a moment.
Ginger: Fine...Fine. I'll sign the paperwork for your tag team. Prison Break, right? Now just leave. Please?
Orochi raises his hands up from the desk and crosses his arms.
Yoko: Thank you.
She smiles and waves as they leave the room.
Fade Out.

Match 1: EotR Round 1 – JonnyG vs Jack Fury
The prospect of a 20 man battle royale has the crowd almost bursting at the seams with excitement, and they are already becoming hyped up as Philip enters the ring and gets things rolling.
Philip: The first match tonight is the third first – round match in the Emperor of the Ring tournament. Introducing first……JonnyG!
“In the End” hits, and Jonny comes out to a large pop from the crowd. He is on a high from his successful debut match, but he knows from talking to the other superstars that his opponent in this match is one of the toughest men in the whole fed. Jonny steps into the ring and takes a mic; evidently he has something to say.
Jonnyg: I just want to say before my match starts that I am happy that I was able to win my first match last Thursday on Meltdown. Also, I would like to say thanks to Daredevil for letting me team with him. But now that the adrenaline and nervousness of my debut is over I am looking forward to the future and that takes me to V-3. V-3 I would like to say thanks to you for announcing last week that I would be in the contender ship for the Junior Title. So now if I don’t win tonight’s EOTR I will remember this as a learning experience. Thanks again, ACW!
Jonny throws the mic out of the ring, and he prepares himself for an intense battle.
“This is Now” by Hatebreed hits, and the fans react with boos and shouting as Jack Fury makes his appearance. [/i]
Philip: And his opponent, from Greenock, Scotland…….Jack Fury!
Fury flips off the crowd as he approaches the ring, defying their jeering of his new appearance; although smart enough to know not to underestimate a new opponent, Fury has supreme confidence in his own abilities and he smirks dismissively at Johnny, who tries to glare back at Fury with determination in his eyes, but is thwarted by the highly amusing tint on his hair. The ref makes his final checks, and then cues the timekeeper to start the clock.
Bell Rings.
Fury and Jonny approach one another, and circle very briefly before Jack aims a powerful blow at Jonny’s head. Jonny slips to the side to avoid it, only to be caught by a blow from the other side. Jonny staggers a little, and Fury picks him up for a powerslam to start things off properly; Fury goes to the ropes and bounces off them before dropping his elbow, but Jonny rolls away and Fury elbows the mat instead. Jonny jumps forward and tries to lock on a crippler crossface, but Fury rolls over and kicks him to prevent this happening. Fury rises back to his feet, and Jonny is also back up without delay; Jonny tries to knock down Fury, but Fury leans forward and braces himself, and Jonny only succeeds in giving himself pain as he impacts on Fury’s solid frame. Fury smirks and applies an armbar, putting tremendous strain on Jonny’s arm; Jonny twists out of it after a few moments, but he winces as he frees himself and it’s clear that Jonny will have to deal with the pain in his arm for the rest of the match. Nevertheless, he comes back at Fury and ducks a very fast punch to catch hold of Fury and swing him into the corner. Jonny goes in quickly, climbs to the second rope and starts punching fury like crazy; Fury takes several shots to the head before he is able to hook his arms under Jonny’s legs, lift him away from the corner and then hoist him up at head height before slamming him down hard on to the mat. Fury covers without delay, and the referee reaches 2 before Jonny kicks out. Fury looks a little peeved, and the fans chant for Jonny; Jonny responds by leaping up and whipping Fury to the ropes, nailing him with a spinning heel kick on his return. Jonny makes a cover, and Fury kicks at 2; unpeturbed by this, Jonny stomps Fury a few times before dragging him close to a corner, climbing up and hitting a split – legged moonsault. The crowd roars and Jonny pins once more; Fury thrusts a shoulder up at 2.5, before angrily shoving Jonny away and standing back up, a look of grim purpose on his face.
Fury starts to stalk Jonny; Jonny backs away, but Fury suddenly charges him. Jonny just jumps aside in time, so Fury goes through the ropes. Fury rolls on landing with surprising agility, comes back to the apron before Jonny can react, and drags him off his feet and out of the ring. Fury holds on to Jonny’s feet and throws him against the security barrier, making the crowd audibly cry out; Jonny looks to be very dazed as Fury collects him and heads for the steel steps. Fury tries to set up Jonny for the Fury Bomb on to the steps, but Jonny struggles and gets away; he retreats around the ring quickly, and as Fury pursues he abruptly stops and crouches out of sight around one corner of the ring. As Fury comes into view Jonny rushes forward and spears Fury back against the crash barrier, deforming it slightly; Jonny pulls himself and Fury up, drags Fury over to the ring post and drapes the dazed Fury’s arm around the post before wrenching it against the metal. Fury yells in pain, and again Jonny retreats; he hears the count from the ref nearing 10, so he slides back into the ring and Fury has to follow him. The crowd is cheering for Jonny and he gives them a brief wave; this though is a mistake as it gives Fury a chance to attack, and Fury wastes no time in delivering his stalling suplex, with a float over pin. The ref counts, and Jonny only just manages to clear his head in time to break out before the 3 count is given. Jonny realises that he needs to act fast, and summoning all his strength he catches Fury out with an elbow to the throat before lifting Fury for his “Jonormous Slam” (Fireman’s carry into STO). Fury though is a big man, and Jonny struggles to finish the move properly; he pins, but Fury is able to get his arm up at 2.5. Jonny slaps the mat with his hand in frustration, and turns back to discover that Fury has rolled away and is back on his feet. Jonny doesn’t get a chance to react before Fury pulls him up and executes the “Hell’s Fury” (Double underhook spinning faceplant); the whole ring shudders, and Fury hooks the leg to keep Jonny down for the 1-2-3.
Philip: Here is your winner……Jack Fury!
Fury pays little attention to Jonny; he stands up and leaves the ring without ceremony, keen to preserve as much energy as possible for the battle royale. Jonny picks himself up and looks angry with himself for being caught out, but he remembers to acknowledge the fans’ support, and he is given a warm send – off back to the locker rooms.

Segment: Mirror Image (Credit: Rose / Yoko)
The camera pans around the arena as Flower of Carnage suddenly hits and the crowd erupts with loud booing.
Yoko Satoshi emerges from the entrance way, but not alone. The towering figure of Orochi is carrying her to the ring. She's sitting on his right shoulder like a chair, while the Lightweight Title is draped over Orochi's other shoulder.
Upon reaching the ring, she hops off of his shoulder, directly onto the apron, and goes through the ropes. Orochi hands her the Title, and slides into the ring himself as Yoko gets a microphone from a ring announcer.
The music cuts out.
Yoko: I came out tonight to apologize.
The audience responds with louder booing than when her music cued.
Yoko: Let me finish! I wanted to say that I'm sorry to all of you fans.
She pauses for a moment.
Yoko: I'm sorry that you all misunderstood me. My goal is to succeed, not to ENTERTAIN you. When I destroyed Rey, that was to succeed. He took my title, and he paid for it. I'm not sorry for what I did to him. If you hate me for it, so be it. I don't care.
The crowd begins to boo again, and a bottle of soda comes flying from the front row, and nails Yoko on the left shoulder, soaking her jacket.
She glares at the fan as the audience cheers, and she rolls out of the ring towards him, followed by Orochi. They stand in front of the fan, at the guard rail.
Yoko: You thought that was funny, didn't you? Getting my uniform dirty and humiliating me? Here's something funny for you.
She looks at Orochi who is standing there with his arms crossed. He uncrosses them, and reaches out, grabbing the fan by the face. He lifts the fan into the air, and pulls him over to their side of the guard rail.
Yoko: Slam him.
As she finishes her sentence, the lights go our in the arena and Scars of Time begins to play. The White Rose emerges from the entrance, followed closely by Eunuch Druids 13 and 22. The audience begins to boo, but not very loudly, as they're still focused on Yoko and Orochi, who is still holding the fan in the air by his face.
Yoko turns toward her as Rose reaches the ring and enters it, carrying a microphone. Eunuch Druids 22 and 13 stay on the outside obediently.
Yoko: ...What are you doing out here? Trying to save this fan?
White Rose: Yoko Satoshi, The Flower of Carnage, you of all people know better than that, why would I care a thing about that useless waste of skin?
Orochi slams the fan down into the ground, and resumes his crossarmed stance.
Yoko: Then why are you here?
Rose: I am here because you, Yoko Satoshi, have set a high goal in life.
Yoko: And what is that?
Rose: You are an imitation, a cloudy reflection of myself. You have some of the attributes, but I have the total package. I am the White Rose and you are the Flower of Carnage. You have tried to develop a Hardcore image, but nobody buys it and I am a Hardcore Icon. Yoko, it was amusing at first, but it has to end, your pathetic worship is killing me and even embarrassing me.
Yoko: What are you getting at Rose?
Rose rolls out of the ring and stands in front of Yoko.
White Rose: Yoko, it is painfully obvious, have you ever wondered how you would contend against the best in the world? Why don’t we see if you are even a decent copy of me. Yoko, do you think you could even stand in the same ring with me and walk back out? Yoko, I await your answer, but don’t expect me to have mercy on you just because you are a little girl. I have no shred of mercy or pity in my body, but I will give you this chance to decline and stop with your utterly pathetic attempts at pretending to even be in my league. Yoko, You and I one on one next Thursday, do you accept?
Yoko glares into Rose's eyes.
Yoko: I'm up for it. I'll even put my Lightweight Title on the line.
White Rose: Yoko, I don’t care for your belt, but if that what you want, fine. I wonder if your 17 years of life have prepared you for the pain you will soon experience, I doubt it, but who knows, you may like it.
Rose drops her arm down. Scars of Time cues, she and the Eunuch Druids 13 and 22 head back to the Demon’s Pit.
Yoko watches her leave. She and Orochi exchange some words outside of the range of her microphone, and they head back to the locker room as well, as Flower of Carnage cues as they reach the ramp.
Fade Out.

Segment: No second chances (Credit: El Loco)
In the parking lot, El Loco pulls up in his new Escalade. He is surprised to be met by Rey Mcfoley in the corridors as he enters the building.
Rey: Hey Loco. I just wanted to say that maybe we could stay together. I mean I will be with you more and-
Loco (cutting Rey off): - REY! I quess you don’t get it! You have done nothing for us in the past 3 months. NOTHING! And now you’re gonna say that you want to get us back together?
Rey: Yeah I’m sorry that I couldn’t do more for our team but I was the LW Champ. Now that I lost it, I could focus more on the Poco Locos……..
Loco: You know what? I’ve changed my mind. We could get back together! Yeah! We could go for the gold and kill all!
Rey: Are you for real? Yes! I knew it! I knew we could get back together!
Loco: Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing….The only way that we’re gonna get back together is in your dreams!
Loco starts punching and kicking Rey. He picks Rey up, and gives him a Dark Calling, opening wounds on his head.
Loco: YOU THINK WE COULD GET BACK TOGETHER? Please…….
Loco spits on Rey and walks off to his locker room.

Segment: Daredevil’s challenge (credit: Bladeshadow)
“Step up” by Drowning Pool hits, and BladeShadow and Raye come out arm in arm. The crowd is ecstatic to see the couple together again as Blade walks down to the ring, truly looking happy for the first time in over a month. Once in the ring, Blade grabs a mike.
Blade: I am here tonight to talk to you guys for a couple of reasons. First I want to invite everyone in this arena, and everyone at home to my wedding right here in this very ring on Thursday.
Blade looks over, smiles and looks his beautiful soon to be wife in the eyes as the crowd cheers.
Blade: The second reason I’m out here, is to tell you that I’ve decided that, because I have everything I could ever have dreamed of in this business, there is only one place left for me to go, and that is to be Chairman. That is why I’ve decided to enter myself into the “chairman for a day” battle royale later tonight. Who knows, if I do a good enough job, maybe they would let me keep the position.
The crowd chuckles a little.
Blade: Finally, on a more serious note, I would like to address what happened to Pdogg last Thursday. Many people have come up to me and asked me if I feel he got what he deserved. Of course not, NO ONE deserved what Ridley did to him, and I want to wish Pdogg a full recovery.
The crowd is sombre as they consider this, but then the moment is interrupted as Daredevil comes out, microphone in hand.
Dare: Oh, I’m rather certain Pdogg will not be recovering any time soon, hell he will be lucky if he is ever even able to walk again.
Blade: OK, and who might you be?
Dare: You can call me Daredevil, Champ.
Blade: I see, so you’re the blind lawyer/superhero who protects hell’s kitchen, nice to meet you Matt….
Dare: NO, NOT THAT DAREDEVIL.
Blade: OK, whatever, so why are you out here interrupting me?
Dare: Well you see, a former 3 time world champion like myself MORE than deserves to be at the top, and not be stuck as a lower midcarder, wouldn’t you agree?
Blade: Heh…I hate to tell you kid, but just because you were a big champ in a few two bit feds doesn’t automatically mean you deserve to be playing with the top dogs, here at ACW.
Dare: YOU might feel that way, but it would seem the board doesn’t, because they decided that tonight, they are going to give ME Pdogg’s rematch for the title tonight, after all, it doesn’t look like HE is going to be able to use it.
Blade: I see…. (a visible smile forms under his mask and he looks over at Raye) well I know I promised to take it easy before our wedding hon, but it looks like I’m going to have to show the new guy what ACW is really all about.
Blade walks out and stands toe to toe with Daredevil as they stare at each other. Then, Blade grins and walks away once more to the cheers of the crowd, and heads backstage with Raye beside him.

Match 2: EotR Round 1 – Kross vs Venom
The atmosphere throughout the arena is amazing, and the first match has only served to lift the crowd into an even greater state of anticipation.
Philip: The next match will be the fourth first – round match in the Emperor of the Ring tournament. Entering first, from the Vatican City………..Michael Kross!
”Vater Unser” hits and Kross enters to a mixed response; his actions at Heatwave do not sit easily with a number if the fans. Kross’s thoughts are hard to read as he puts down his large ceremonial cross at ringside; he warms up as he waits for his opponent to appear.
Then “Just like me” hits, and there is a surge of angry booing as Venom appears on the stage.
Philip: And his opponent………..Venom!
The executioner’s mask that Venom always wears is still a little blood – stained from Venom’s part in the appalling attack on WCW and Pdogg on Meltdown, and many of the crowd recoil as he passes by. Kross doesn’t show any heightened nervousness though, and Philip makes a very hasty exit as Venom gets into the ring and stalks around. The referee waits for Venom and Kross to discard their extra clothing, and Venom grins nastily at Kross as he takes off his mask. With everything prepared, the signal is given and the match begins.
Bell Rings.
Venom makes a quick start to the match, moving with surprising speed to knock Kross down. Kross is right back on his feet but Venom returns and this time sends him to the mat face first. Kross takes a little longer to get back up this time, and Venom taunts him, to the major annoyance of the fans. Kross doesn’t let Venom get away with this – as Venom turns to taunt the crowd, Kross rushes at him and lands a bulldog before making a fast pin. Venom kicks out well before 2, but Kross has made his point and the pair stare at one another for a second or two before recommencing their battle. Venom steams in with a series of powerful punches, and pushes Kross back toward the corner; as they approach it however Kross takes Vemon by the arm and throws him against the post before executing a standing dropkick. Venom slumps down and Kross lays down some stomps to his body before pulling him back up to his feet; Kross tries to climb for a tornado DDT, but Venom fights back, follows him up, and the pair struggle for a few moments before Venom gets Kross in position and hits a superplex. The ring shakes, and Venom pins; he gets 2 before Kross gets his arm in the air and pushes Venom away. Venom decides to adjust his strategy, and while Kross is still on the mat he gives him a quick kick in the head before applying the Death Lock (sharpshooter). Venom gives a twisted smile as Kross tries to get out of the hold, but Venom is too strong for Kross to extract himself, so he starts to head for the ropes. Using psychological tactics, Venom allows Kross to get a little way before pulling him back; the crowd boos Venom, but he doesn’t care one iota. Kross though has been taught the value of patience by his training for the priesthood, and he keeps on moving, knowing that Venom is also losing energy from the constant battle between the two. After a minute or two of this, Kross’ persistence pays off and he reaches the ropes; the ref orders Venom to let go, which Venom does with bad grace.
As soon as he is free, Kross starts to pile on the pressure; he lands a number of very rapid forearm blows to Venom before giving him a taste of his flying knee attack. Venom struggles to stay on his feet, and Kross bounces from the ropes to bring Venom down with a clothesline. Kross drops down, elbowing Venom in the chest before rolling him up; the count has just passed the 2 mark when Venom breaks free. Venom charges to try and knock Kross down; Kross jumps over Venom; Venom comes back and Kross goes for a second clothesline which Venom ducks. Venom returns a third time, and this time Kross hits him with a spinning kick before dropping him with a sitdown neckbreaker. Kross doesn’t pin, but instead goes to the top rope for a Dragonrana; Venom recovers surprisingly quickly, and just as Kross is taking off he sees that the move will not be successful. With lightning reactions, Kross modifies the move so that he rolls on landing, minimising the damage that he takes, and also bringing him back to his feet in order to counter Venom’s next attack. The pair move about the ring, throwing punches and kicks at one another; after several moments Venom sees an opening and manages to slap a chokehold on Kross. Venom chokeslams his opponent and covers immediately, to earn a count of 2; Venom seeks to build on this by picking Kross up once more, and this time using his powerbomb. Venom pins a second time, and is awarded a count of 2.5 before Kross responds. Kross moves away from Venom, and as Venom comes forward Kross takes him down with a quick dropkick; keen to wrap up the match, Kross shoots over to the corner and leaps up to the top of the post, going for his divine wrath (450 splash). This time, Venom waits until Kross is fully committed to the move before shifting aside, and Kross smashes into the canvas; Venom is ready and waiting for him, and without hesitating he collects Kross and nails his “Venomous Bite” finisher. Venom pins, and Kross is unable to break free before Venom is awarded the 1-2-3 count.
Philip: Here is your winner…….Venom!
Venom looks satisfied with the result of the match; he leaves the ring without ceremony to prepare for the Battle Royale. Kross comes as close as he ever has to being seriously angry, and his body language mirrors this as he stalks back to the locker rooms.

Segment - Keep your eye on the prize (Credit: BK London)
Lower Midcarders to Midcarders such as Amo, Bob, Loco, Fury, Orochi, TNT and other superstars are assembled in the locker room. They are talking amongst each other until ACW Interviewer Kevin Anderson rolls in a TV, he tells the superstars the Entertainment Champion has a statement to make. As the television turns on it shows a clear shot of the Entertainment Title on BK London's waist. Then it moves up his body and up to his face.
BK: Today is your lucky day, superstars that are contenders to my belt. I have confirmed with Ginger that this week on Meltdown I will be having an open challenge for the Entertainment Championship. That’s right, you won’t have to fight for a contender spot, you just have to show up to my challenge on Meltdown. Good luck superstars, but you will need more than luck to beat me.
Kevin turns off the TV and the superstars talk excitedly among each other.
Fade out.

Segment: Scores to settle
The camera is following Venom as he returns from his match; he walks up to the door of the Demon Pit and opens it, stepping inside. The camera keeps track of him as he crosses the dimly lit room and bows to Rose, and then to Ridley, who is lounging in his throne.
Rose: As I was saying, Lord Ridley, it appears that our actions last week had the effect that we had hoped for.
Ridley: Of course. And tonight, we will continue with our plans…..do you and Venom understand what I want you to do?
Rose and Venom nod, and Ridley smiles, showing just a brief flash of his fangs.
Rose: The chairman has reacted as you predicted. Such a foolish man….he actually thinks that he can control Pain Inc!
The three laugh briefly; Ridley is seen toying with something which is leaning up against the side of the throne.
Ridley: I don’t know which I shall enjoy more – the look on his face, or on hers…….
Ridley laughs again, a cruel and twisted laugh, and the scene fades out.

Segment: Worthy Challengers: (Credit: Daredevil)
There is a clip shown from backstage, and the camera points at Daredevil, sitting in his locker room, thinking about the match. The door knocks, and a referee enters.
Referee: Dan, it’s time.
Daredevil: Thanks. Oh, and by the way. How d’ya think I’ll do?
Referee: Honestly, I think you’re gonna lose.
Daredevil starts to laugh. He knows that this is one of the biggest matches he’ll have in his history, and is constantly thinking about the title as he leaves the room.
Daredevil: Wait a sec, just need to go to the toilet. Meet you out there.
Referee: Will do.
Daredevil finishes and leaves. On the way past, he sees TNT sitting on a bench, drinking a Pepsi. He looks at TNT and TNT looks back.
TNT: Well well well, look who’s gonna get his ass kicked?
Daredevil ignores him, and just walks on.
TNT: Hey, I was talking to you!
Daredevil ignores him again.
TNT: HEY!
TNT throws the Pepsi can at Daredevil. He stops and turns around.
Daredevil: What do you want?
TNT: I’m just saying, well, do you honestly think you have a chance out there?
Daredevil: Yes.
TNT: Ha! Listen, boy. You’re gonna get killed! I’m just sad that I won’t be able to see it!
A few wrestlers and backstage crew hear them arguing, and start to form a crowd.
Daredevil: Listen. I’ve won heavyweight titles before. I’ll make it four in four feds, mark my words
TNT: Listen. History doesn’t matter here. All that matters is if you’re good. But I can’t imagine how YOU got a title match
Daredevil: Well, Bladeshadow picked me didn’t he? I mean, I don’t see YOU getting picked.
TNT gets angry and attempts a punch a Daredevil, but some wrestlers hold back. Daredevil then attempts an attack but wrestlers hold him back too. The referee comes over and speaks to Daredevil.
Referee: Listen, Daredevil. Just get to the match, okay?
Daredevil glares at TNT, but mindful of conserving his energy he backs away and walks down the corridor to his match.
Fade Out.

Match 3: Bladeshadow vs Daredevil (Credit: White Rose)
The crowd at the ACW arena is very much up and lusting for action. The fans have cheered their favorites hard tonight. The fans are holding up hundreds of different signs and wearing many popular T Shirts, the most popular being "I survived the Thursday Night Massacre". The crowd silences itself and Philip enters the ring.
Philip: Ladies and Gentleman, this match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the ACW Heavyweight Championship. Introducing first the challenger from Cardiff, Wales, please welcome Daredevil!
Mission Impossible Theme II hits and Daredevil comes out from behind the curtain to a mixed reception from the crowd. The look on his face is extremely serious and he as he walks down the ramp it is obvious he has something to prove. He gets in the ring and immediately takes his corner. Philip goes on with his introductions.
Philip: And next, He is your ACW Heavyweight Champion, from New York, New York, please welcome BladeShadow!
”Step Up” hits and BS walks down the aisle with his title belt around his shoulder. He looks very happy and thinks this match will be a walk in a park. He is the best in the world today, but he still underestimates people from time to time; as he enters the ring he gets a massive pop and hands his belt to the referee who hands it to the timekeeper. Philip exits and the referee calls for the bell.
Bell Rings.
Both combatants are unfamiliar with the other, Devil extends his hand to shade BS’s, but as BS goes to accept, Devil pulls it away and smiles. The fans boo loudly, but some can’t contain their laughter and many cheer Devil for a few seconds. BS comes towards Devil and goes for a punch, but Devil ducks only for BS to hit him with a leg sweep knocking him down to the mat. BS locks in a side headlock on to Devil, but he is too fresh and lifts BS up and Irish whips him into a powerslam and covers BS. The Referee counts 1………2……, but BS kicks out with relative ease. Devil jumps to his feet and waits for BS to get to his feet and when he does, Devil attempts a clothesline, but BS ducks and hits him with a back suplex. Devil clutches his back and rolls to the outside to take a breather, but BS is in close pursuit. BS turns Devil around and hits him with three stinging rights before he attempts an Irish Whip, but Devil reverses it and slings BS into the steel steps. The Referee’s count is on 4 as Devil slams BS’s head against the steel steps and then the crowd boos loudly as Devil……..Piledrives him onto the Steel Steps, cracking BS’s skull open, as blood streams down BS’s face and as the referee counts to 6, Devil rolls into the ring. The Referee continues counting 7……….., BS crawls towards the apron,8…………., BS climbs up to the apron,………..9, BS falls off and suddenly the crowd cheers as a woman runs down the aisle way, it becomes apparent that it is Rena and she tries to enter the ring and the referee attempts to stop her, forgetting about his count. As the referee is distracted, BS rolls into the ring and Devil begins to kick him over and over again. He lifts him up, but BS drops to his knees and hits Devil with a low blow, taking him down to the mat. BS and Devil are motionless and Rena smiles and decides to walk off and rhe referee, happy that he has fulfilled his duties turns around to see two motionless bodies. Bs looks up and sees Devil down and he puts his arm over Devil’s chest, the referee counts 1……..2…..,but Devil kicks out at the last second. The crowd is stunned and confused by what has happened, why did Rena come out , and better yet, why did she help BS? BS works to his feet and as he does, he picks up Devil and positions him for what looks like either a Piledriver or a Powerbomb, but Devil reverses it into a back body drop. Devil bounces of the ropes and hits BS with a legdrop and pins him, The referee counts 1…….2……, but at the last second BS kicks out. Devil is undaunted, he pins BS again and the referee counts 1….2..,but BS kicks out again. Devil picks BS up and Irish whips him into the corner turnbuckle and follows up with a big body splash. And as BS staggers off, Devil locks in his special variation of the armbar. BS struggles and yells out in pain, but after a few seconds his hind leg gets put on the rope. Devil is forced to break the hold and he picks BS up and goes for a dropkick, but BS moves out of the way and Devil misses, hitting the ground, BS then moves him into the position for the Heaven’s Arrow and locks it in. It is only a few seconds before Devil is forced to tap from the pressure. The referee calls for the bell and raises BS’s hand.
Philip: Your winner of this bout by submission and still ACW Heavyweight Champion, Bladeshadow.
BS is bleeding and exhausted, but he is still happy at his victory. He walks back up the aisle and gives the occasional fan a high five. Daredevil is still in the ring and he is visibly angry, but he does not realize how close he came to victory. Daredevil slams his fist against the mat three times before angrily exiting the ring and going to the locker room.
