Match 7: Skurai vs Double – Oh Four (Credit: White Rose)

The crowd is on their feet cheering loudly, they have been impressed thus far and can not wait for the next match. They are filled with suspense and anticipation, could this night get any better? Their question is answered as Philip begins to speak.

Philip: Ladies and Gentleman, this match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, from Sacramento, California, Skurai!

New Noise by Refused hits the arena and the crowd are on their feet for Skurai. This is his first appearance since his match against BK London and Spider, where he lost the Entertainment title. Skurai walks down the ramp, as he walks his cape flaps behind him and at its height the cheers become deafening. The Crowd is cheering very loudly for Skurai and he acknowledges this as he walks down the isle. As he enters the ring he moves to his corner and takes off his cape in a methodical manner.

Philip: And next, from San Diego, California, please welcome 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. His cheers rival, if not surpass Skurai’s, but his happiness is overshadowed by his limping. 004 gives high fives to outreaching hands and then quickly limps to the ring and slides in. 004 waves to the crowd and takes his corner. Philip exits the ring and the match begins.

Bell Rings

Skurai quickly comes out of his corner and begins to punch 004, who returns with punches and a knee to the gut. 004 gains control and Irish whips Skurai, but Skurai reverses it into an Irish whip into the turnbuckle, followed by a clothesline. 004 takes the impact but sinks down to the mat, Skurai picks him up and Irish whips hit to the opposite turnbuckle and follows with a clothes line. Skurai picks 004 up and tires to hit a sit down Powerbomb, but 004 reverses it into Frankenstiener into the pin. The Referee counts 1………2.., but Skurai kicks out rather easily. Both men get up at almost the same time, but 004 hits Skurai a clothesline, which knocks him back down to the mat. As Skurai begins to rise to his feet, 004 positions himself behind him, and hits him with a excellent bulldog. 004 goes for a quick and aggressive pin, The Referee counts 1……2….but Skurai kicks out. 004 picks Skurai up and positions him for the Phoenix DDT, but Skurai reverses it into an RKO. Both men are down and fatigued, but their will is not yet broken. Skurai gets up first and squats down waiting for 004 to get to his feet. 004 gets to his feet and turns around in time to be hit by a vicious Gore from Skurai. Skurai goes for a pin, the Referee counts 1………2……., but 004 puts his foot on the ropes at the last second. Skurai picks 004 up and hits him with a sit down Powerbomb. The Referee counts 1……..2…, but to Skurai’s noticeable frustration, 004 kicks out at the last second again. 004 gets to his feet and begins fighting back ferociously, he hits 004 with right hand after right hand. 004 pushes Skurai back and goes for a vicious Superkick, but at the same time, Skurai goes for a vicious superkick. Both superkick connect and both men are knocked down. It takes both men until the ref counts to 7 to rise to their feet. Both men want this to end quickly and they both have a quick finish planned in their heads, but which one will work. After rising to their feet and exchanging punches, 004 positions Skurai in the Phoenix DDT position, but Skurai reverses it into a rollup. Skurai grabs the tights and the referee counts 1………2……….3 and 004 kicks out at the last second.

Bell Rings

Philip: The Winner of this match by pinfall, Skurai!

Skurai has his hand raised and he exits as methodically as he came. 004 is stunned by his sudden loss, he can’t help but feel that his glory was stolen from him. He limps slightly back to the locker room, he is delving in deep thought and wonders what he will do after the show, and what he did to lose to Skurai.

Match 8: Pdogg & Dream v Latino & AK

The arena hums with excitement as the final match approaches, and Philip does not keep the fans waiting as he makes the introductions.

Philip: Our last match for the evening will be an intergender Tag Team match, set for one fall! Introducing first, from x………….Dream!

”Sex Type Thing” hits, and the crowd boos Dream as she heads to the ring; Dream looks just a little bit nervous and she waits anxiously for her boyfriend to arrive.

Then “Wait and Bleed” hits for the second time that evening, and Pdogg walks out briskly into the arena, ready for action.

Philip: And her partner, from Cameron North Carolina………..PDogg!

The crowd sounds really ugly as Pdogg makes his way down to ringside; he rolls into the ring and does his best to reassure Dream, telling her that they can take their opponents without difficulty.

There is a short delay, and then the crowd starts to get seriously loud as Eddie G and Chyna’s theme blasts over the speaker system……

Philip: And their opponents, from New York, New York, and London, England………..Latino and Alicia “Atomic” Kitsune!

Latino and AK spring out into the spotlight like high jumpers on speed; the fans yell and cheer for the ex – tag champs, and it is obvious that both superstars are glad to be back in action in front of the ACW fans. They take a little time to reach the ring, greeting people along the walkway and such before entering the ring; once there they head to opposite corners to hail the fans before joining up again in the centre.

After a quick discussion, AK steps forward to start the match; Dream is no less eager as she wants to prove to Pdogg that she is just as capable of taking care of business as he is. The men peel off to their corners, and the ladies regard one another carefully as the referee gives the OK for the match to get underway.

Bell Rings.

The women clash together, and Dream scores a couple of blows to the head before AK comes right back, applying a head lock and repeatedly kneeing Dream in the gut. Dream struggles briefly before breaking free, and she whips AK to the ropes to clothesline her on her return. AK falls and Dream goes for a swift elbow drop, but AK rolls aside and Dream misses. Both women get back to their feet and they move quickly about the ring, each looking for an opportunity to strike; they finally re-engage each other in the centre of the ring, and Dream hits AL with a swinging kick to the head before whipping her to her own corner. As AK is sent forward, she speeds up of her own accord and extends her arm so that she punches PDogg off of the apron on her arrival; Pdogg lands heavily on the floor but AK doens not have time to get away before Dream hits a turnbuckle splash. Dream spins her opponent round and lays into her with fists and feet; AK realises that she has to escape before Pdogg recovers, and she battles back so that the fight is shifted away from the danger area. The tight contest continues, and at one point the participants simultaneously go for standing dropkicks; they clash feet and legs and fall to the mat in something of a tangle, although they quickly extract themselves. Dream manages to give AK the slip and she locks on for the first of three rolling german suplexes; even with a relatively light opponent this takes considerable effort, but Dream’s determination is rock solid. After the 3rd suplex Dream covers, but AK has used her free time since her dramatic recovery to increase her stamina, and she throws her arm up at 2. AK pushes Dream off and concentrates her energy to give Dream a powerful whip to the ropes, greeting her with one of her favourite spinning heel kicks; Dream staggers as her head spins and AK backs up to build speed before rushing forward to use the flying head scissors. Dream is flung down with considerable force, and AK pins; Dream kicks just a fraction after 2, and on the apron a now rather angry Pdogg yells at Dream to stop messing about. AK gets back up, and decides that a tag would be a good idea; she switches with Latino, who hops into the ring and approaches Dream. Pdogg shouts at Dream to tag, but his manner just makes Dream more stubborn and instead she gets back up, coming forward to face Latino herself.

Dream is wary of getting into a straight fight with Latino, so instead she avoids his blows with her speed before getting to one side and using her Russian leg sweep to drop him to the floor. Dream hits Latino a couple of times to daze him, and then uses the ropes for a Dream Weaver (double – jump moonsault); she makes a pin, and Latino shoves her off just before the 2 count is given. As the pair rise Dream whips Latino to a neutral corner and stands on the first rope to deliver a 10 – punch; Dream grins and finishes with a kiss intended to wind up AK. Dream smiles, but instead of getting angry Latino raises an eyebrow, grins back at her and then pulls her forward by the head for a full on snog! Dream flails and Pdogg almost has a fit on the apron; Latino follows his “move” with a powerful headbutt before running forward and dropping to the mat still with Dream’s head in his grip, smashing her face first into the canvas. Latino pins and gets a count of 2.5; as he does so he spots AK standing with her arms folded. Latino gives a grin that says, “I’m a guy……I’m a slave to my hormones!” and AK just shakes her head, but she is smiling and obviously not seriously upset. Dream, however, is not at all happy, and she retreats to her corner; Pdogg accepts the tag and Latino takes up a fighting stance as his once – good friend turned enemy comes toward him. Pdogg doesn’t waste any time; he and Latino go head to head, exchanging blows at a frightening rate before Latino uses a DDT on his foe. Pdogg drops but is quickly back up, and he nails a sidewalk slam on Latino, making a cover and getting just short of a 2 count. The pair continue to battle, whipping each other around and slamming, powerbombing and suplexing one another for several minutes; the frenetic pace of the action takes its toll on both men, but eventually Latino is able to get hold of Pdogg and hit a vertical suplex. The crowd roars as Latino holds on and flips for suplex number 2; he nails the move but his legs look weak and the landing saps the strength of both parties. The fans will Latino on as he goes for the 3rd and final suplex, but as he tries to lift Pdogg Latino realises that the move will not be successful, and he collapses back to the mat.

Pdogg grins as he picks himself up; the effort of the rolling verticals has left Latino drained, and Pdogg pins for a near 3 count. Latino pulls himself back to his feet; he has the will to continue but he realises that it will be very hard for him to score a decisive blow. As Pdogg nears, Latino has an idea; he looks to his own corner and points to the ropes next to it, and AK nods as she catches his drift. Pdogg is ready to go for his finisher, but Latino instead counters and forces Pdogg back to the ropes at the spot he had pointed to before. Latino makes Pdogg dizzy with a massive right hook before spinning Pdogg around 180 degrees and dropkicking him in the back; Pdogg slumps over the middle rope and Latino dashes back to his corner to make the switch with his partner. AK jumps up on to the post and then runs along the top rope until she is positioned directly above Pdogg; with the crowd cheering wildly she grabs the rope with both hands, kicks upward into a handstand and then swings round and down to complete her “Kitsune Kick” and drive both feet into Pdogg’s head, sending him flying backward to the centre of the ring. AK dashes forward to cover, but Pdogg is one tough competitor and he throws up his arm at a count of 2.5. Pdogg gets back up and Dream yells to him to tag, but Pdogg is just as stubborn as his partner and his pride will not allow him to be seen to back down against a woman. Pdogg goes on the attack, giving AK a verbal battering, but his physical strength is not at 100% thanks to Latino’s efforts and AK is able to hold her ground, scoring as many hits as she takes. Pdogg lands another PDG, but AK is enraged by his current tormenting of Bladeshadow and she kicks out of his pin at 2, boosted by her loathing of her opponent and his tactics. AK knows that Pdogg is close to the edge and that victory is there for the taking, if she can only find some way to tip the balance…….as AK thinks, she hears Dream hurling abuse at her from the apron, and she grins as she works out what to do. Pdogg comes close once more, but as he tries to set up a DDT AK gives him a flirty smile and then gives him a quick kiss in full view of Dream. Dream reacts exactly as AK predicts; burning with jealous rage Dream tries to get at her opponent and the referee is forced to block her. This is what AK has been waiting for; she floors Pdogg with a swift neckbreaker and then bolts back to her corner, where Latino is already climbing up to the top of the post; he lifts AK up on to his shoulders and then raises her up so that his arms are fully extended above his head, with AK held above him facing in the same direction. With the crowd going nuts Latino bends his knees and throws his partner forward; AK swan – dives down to hit Pdogg as he tries to get up, and the extra height makes the impact incredibly powerful. Latino is unbalanced by the throw and falls backward off of the turnbuckle, but this does not matter; the referee turns back to the ring just as AK pins Pdogg, and he makes the 1-2-3 count to an ecstatic response from the crowd.

Philip: Here are your winners…….Latino and Atomic Kitsune!

AK gets back up and raises her arms in the air, saluting the crowd; on the outside, Latino picks himself off of the crash matting and is about to re – enter the ring when a surge of noise alerts him to someone approaching from behind, and he turns around.

Latino: Hey holmes, what’s up? We beat that moron pretty good, huh?

Latino doesn’t realise the threat until it is too late; without a word, Bladeshadow scoops him up and hits his Lights of Orion on to the metal entrance ramp. Latino is badly stunned, and AK cries out in shock and anger at Blade; she tries to reach Latino but Pdogg grabs her from behind and holds her still as Dream slips in to the ring to assist him. As Latino tries to get up, Blade kicks him back down with a shot to the head, and then searches for something under the ring; his expression is blank as he stands back up, and the crowd gasps as he is shown to be holding a battered sledgehammer.

AK: Blade………I don’t understand………why are you doing this?

AK is very distressed, and Blade starts to also look pained.

Blade: I…….I’m so sorry, you two……believe me, I don’t want to do this……………<br>
Pdogg glares at Blade with a freezing stare. Blade’s head drops.

Blade:……….but I have no other choice.

AK continues to plead with Blade, but he forces himself not to hear her as he raises the sledgehammer and brings it down forcefully on Latino’s outstretched arm. There is an audible crack, and Latino yells in agony; Blade shakes with anger and shame as he lands two more blows to ensure that Latino’s arm is well and truly broken, before applying the same treatment to his left leg. Latino moans softly on the ramp as Blade steps away; he looks ready to throttle PDogg as he throws down the sledgehammer and starts to walk away.

PDogg: Not so fast, my puppet………you’re not done here.

Blade stops, and he turns around very slowly, struggling to control his fury.

Blade:……….What? I did exactly what you said…….he won’t be back in the ring for bloody ages. What more do you want, you twisted bastard?

PDogg smiles darkly, and strokes AK down her cheek, making her buck in revulsion.

PDogg: I want you to take that sledgehammer, and I want you to mess up Miss Foxy here, bad. I don’t want to be able to recognise this bitch when you’re done with her.

AK struggles with twice the fire, but the match has sapped her energy and she cannot get away. Blade looks at Pdogg in horror, and shakes his head.

Blade: No. No, P, you’ve lost it this time………I won’t do it.

Pdogg: This is not a request, puppet, it’s an order, and I grow tired of your insolence. You are risking the safety of your lovely partner……if you continue to resist, she won’t be so pretty when you next see her.

Blade is now totally torn, and he looks close to breakdown; PDogg smirks and stares at him. Latino tries to get up, but he collapses straight away; his broken leg cannot take his weight.

Latino: Esse! Please………I know why you’re doing this, and I understand……….but my mamacita….after the last time, the doctors said that some of the skull fractures were only partially healed……if you do this, there’s no telling what will happen…….

Pdogg: But you know what will happen, Blade, if you defy me……….which will it be? Latino’s partner…….or yours?

Blade stands still for several moments, his face racked with inner conflict; the whole auditorium is holding its breath, and Latino just stares desperately at him; then Blade lowers is eyes to the floor and very slowly starts to approach the ring…….

[Alicia "Atomic" Kitsune]

…….Latino yells at Blade; now he is the one pleading, but Blade is just as deaf. Dream moves out of the way, and PDogg grins viciously as he shifts his hold to AK’s legs so that her back is on the floor and she is forced to stare up at Blade. The crowd noise rises to incredible levels, and Blade looks as if he is being physically stabbed with sharp knives, so strong is his pain; AK’s eyes glaze over as she stares and she starts to mumble incoherently……

AK: Jesus, no…….please………not again……..

Blade has the sledgehammer poised in the air, but just as he is about to bring it down he realises that AK is not looking at him, but past him. Blade follows her gaze and freezes; PDogg is about to shout at him when he too catches on that something is up, and he slowly turns around to discover why the crowd is making such an extraordinary and ear – splitting sound……..

Ridley: You two assholes are seriously fucked up, you know that?

With incredible speed Ridley rips the sledgehammer out of Blade’s hands and throws it aside; he smashes Blade to the mat before spinning around and spearing Pdogg with incredible force. Ridley rolls through and runs to the ropes where he quebradas off to hit Pdogg as he tries to get up. Pdogg is laid out and Ridley turns his attention back to Blade, speeding over and launching into a flying elbow that hits so hard it knocks Blade through the ropes to land heavily a few feet from the immobile Latino. AK is too stunned to do anything but sit on the mat and watch as Ridley sees Pdogg in position next to the ropes and flies across the ring to nail the Abracadabra to a storm of cheering. PDogg is out cold and Ridley gives him a kick in disgust before walking back to the centre of the ring……

Latino is struck dumb and can only watch as Ridley approaches AK; she is still in a kind of dazed state, and she recoils as Ridley reaches down to her. Ridley is a bit confused (which is fast becoming normal for him), but he takes her hand and helps her up, and the entire arena is totally thrown by the surreal situation.

Ridley: Hey now, it’s ok. I’m not some woman – beating scumsucker like those guys.

The whole arena does a collective double take and several people’s jaws drop. With that, Ridley slides out of the ring and walks nonchalantly back to the locker rooms; Dream stares from outside the ring (having fled the moment she spotted Ridley’s arrival), and Blade and Latino also watch and then stare at one another, having no idea what to make of what they have just seen. As the EMTs arrive to help Latino, AK climbs out of the ring and runs over to him; they hug, and this time there is no way that Latino will allow them to be separated, despite the extraordinary events that have just occurred.

Latino: Mamacita, what the hell just happened?!

AK: I don’t know………….but I think we can assume that Satan will be ice skating to work tomorrow.

Latino continues to stare up the ramp; he, along with everyone else, has to try and make sense of what is going on, and the only thing which is certain is that Ridley will continue to have a huge impact on the federation and its members, in all sorts of ways.
