Opening Segment: Tread Carefully
Meltdown opens with the traditional arena panning shot; it’s a full house, and the crowd is running hot ready for tonight’s highly anticipated matches. As they cheer and wave their banners, the titantron comes to life to reveal a shot of Chairman Gingerdude’s office. Ginger is seated at a paper infested desk, furiously scribbling something down. There’s a knock at the door and Ginger finishes the sentence he’s writing before lifting his head.
Ginger: Come
The door slides open and Gary sticks his head round the door
Gary: Sorry to bother you sir, but we really do need that finalized version of tonight’s card.
Ginger: Oh of course.
Ginger stands up and peers over his desk, he reaches out and picks up a scrap of paper, but as he does so he pushes a large stack of paper off the edge of his desk. Gary winces as Gingers face darkens further.
Gary: Let me get that for you sir.
He scurries across the room but is stopped in his tracks half way across by Ginger
Ginger: No Gary it’s quite alright, just take the card, I’ll sort that out.
Ginger sticks his hand out and rams the paper into Gary with some power, sending him stumbling backwards, Gary regains his balance and mutters a thanks as he runs off with the card, keen to get out of Gingers way. Ginger meanwhile crouches down and picks up the pile of papers that were pushed on to the ground, he stands up and slams them back down on to the desk, clearly in a bad mood.

Match 1: Willanger vs Evan Quick (Credit: BK London)
Phillip: This match is scheduled for one fall, coming from Montgomery, PA, Evan Quick.
"Billy Kidman and Paul London's tag team theme" hits as we start of with the first match of the night. He walks down to the ring to a few boos and no cheers, he rolls in the ring and goes up to the top rope and he taunt the crowd only to receive many boos.
Phillip: And his opponent from parts unknown, Willanger.
"Taka Michinoku's WWF theme" hits and Willanger walks through the curtain to a reasonable pop. He runs down to the ring and he slides in. He starts to stretch and then the referee signals for the bell and the match to start.
As the bell rings both superstars lock up, Evan Quick locks Willanger in a headlock. Willanger pushes Evan into the ropes and as Evan comes off Willanger hits him with a thunderous Shoulder Block which takes him down to the ground. Evan Quick gets up holding the back of his head and they lock up once again, this time Evan locks in a well applied hammerlock. Will pushes himself back into the corner and squashes the almost 200 pound superstar. Evan releases the hold and Willanger hits him with a Hiptoss. Evan gets up holding his back and Will hits him with a deep arm drag. Evan gets up again and Willanger performs a dropkick out of nowhere. Evan drops to the ground and Willanger covers him but Evan kicks out after two. Willanger picks up Evan and he whips him into the ropes, Willanger bounces off the ropes and attempts a Crossbody but Evan ducks and Will falls onto the mat. Will is getting up and Evan hits him with a Bulldog. Evan then picks up Will's legs and locks him in what he calls the Boston Crab. Will uses his superior leg power to take Evan down to the mat, Will picks up both legs of Evan and the referee counts one-two-thr--- kick out. Will gets up and Evan get up at the same time, Evan goes for a clothesline but Will ducks and he hits him with a barrage of blows. Will kicks Evan in the torso and he this him with a Tornado DDT and Evan's head spikes onto the mat. Will goes up to the top rope and he attempts a Moonsault but Evan moves out of the way, Willanger holds his gut and Evan takes him down with a spear. Willanger is out in the middle of the ring and Evan goes onto the apron. Evan taunts the crowd and he gets major heat, Evan then hits a Springboard Leg Drop on Willanger and hooks the leg for the pin but Willanger powers out. Evan argues with the referee that that was a three count but the referee disagrees. Evan turns around as Will is getting up he takes him back down with a kick to the face. Evan picks up Will and he sets him up on the top rope. Evan goes for a superplex but Evan holds onto top rope. Will punches his way out of it and he pushes Evan off the top rope. Evan crashes to the ground and Will goes up to the top rope. He hits him with the Under the Skin and he hooks the leg to pick up the win.
Phillip: And the winner is..... Willanger.
Willanger rolls out of the ring and he walks up the ramp backwards as the referee raises his arm in triumph.

Segment: New Friends (Credit: Yoko)
As Yoko Satoshi arrives at the ACW arena, she makes her way to the Demon Pit. But upon reaching it, she pauses in front of it. She turns and walks past it, and goes around a corner to a locker room with the word "Rena" written on it. She knocks.
Rena: Who is it?
Yoko: It's me.
Rena: Oh, come on in.
Yoko opens the door and steps inside. She doesn't see anyone at first, but Rena emerges from another door wearing only a towel, and heads to her wardrobe.
Yoko: ...Should I leave while you get dressed, or something?
Rena: No, I don't mind. Tell me, which one of these dresses looks better, the red or the black?
Yoko looks at the wardrobe.
Yoko: Actually I think the purple looks the best.
Rena grabs it and looks at it.
Rena: Good choice. Thanks.
She drops the towel off of her body to put on the dress. Yoko blushes and turns her head slightly while still looking.
Rena: So did you want to talk to me about something?
Yoko: Nothing in particular, I just thought I would stop by since we're friends now.
Rena: I see. Is Ridley mad about us being friends?
Yoko: I don't know. He hasn't said anything yet.
Rena sits down on a nearby couch to put on her high heels.
Rena: Do you want to go somewhere after the show?
Yoko: Where?
Rena: I don't know, somewhere.
Before Yoko can answer, another female voice says, "No."
Yoko turns around to see Rose and Ridley standing out in the hallway. Rena stands, appearing slightly annoyed.
Rena: I think you should let Yoko answer.
Rose: Yoko, we do not have time for things like that. You know that. Now come back to the Demon Pit so you can get ready to take out London.
Yoko looks at Rena, and then at Rose. Back at Rena, and to Rose again. Ridley glares at Yoko.
Yoko: I'm sorry Rena, I can't go anywhere with you. I have to go now.
Rena: But-
Ridley and Rose walk away, and Yoko quickly runs out of the room to follow them back to the Demon Pit.
Rose: We are not very happy, Yoko.
Yoko: I understand, I can't see her anymore.
Ridley stops and turns to face Yoko.
Ridley: We are not happy with your decision. However, you are still a young girl. We understand that you need friendship, as we can be very...hard to handle.
Yoko: So you're saying...
Ridley: We're saying that you can stay friends with her, as long as you don't prioritize her above us or our goals.
Yoko reaches out and hugs Ridley. He growls, and she quickly retreats.
Yoko: I'm sorry; I didn't mean to do that.
Ridley turns and continues to the Demon Pit.
Rose: If Rena hurts you Yoko, you're going to have to deal with that without us. Just a word of warning.
Rose follows Ridley, and Yoko follows her. They enter the Demon Pit.
End Segment.

Segment: Rivals (Credit: Daredevil/Kain)
Gingerdude is seen in his office doing yet more paperwork, when Kain and Daredevil suddenly storm in, clearly looking angry at each other
Daredevil: Isn’t it true that the-
Kain: Aren’t I allowed to-
Daredevil: Shouldn’t he have to-
Kain: It’s not fair if I-
Gingerdude just sits there, with a “why are these two idiots wasting my time look on his face”.
Gingerdude: Whoa whoa whoa, guys. One at a time.
Daredevil: I think that I deserve a title shot at the Entertainment Title at Hellbound Heart
Kain: But that's not fair, Chairman. I only just won it
Daredevil turns around and looks at Kain
Daredevil: Yeah, but you're meant to defend it every 2 weeks, jackass, and that time comes at the PPV
Kain: But PPVs don't count in the 2-week defence rule. (Kain turns to Gingerdude) Isn't that right, Chairman?
Gingerdude: I'm afraid it is, Daredevil. Hmm...tell you what. I'm arranging a tag match tonight. Let's have a look...(He scans down a sheet of paper) Ah, yes. It'll be Kain and Daredevil tonight, against 004 and JonnyG! And I'll decide whether or not you get a title shot next Monday.
Kain: Yeah, I guess
Daredevil: Sounds good to me
They then both leave. Daredevil leaves the room first, pushing Kain into the wall
Daredevil: Hey Kain! There's a wall there, y'know!
Kain turns around, chases after Daredevil but realises it isn't worth it and retreats to his locker room. Leaving Ginger alone to roll his eyes and continue with his work.

Match 2: Predator vs Brian Carnage (Credit: RDK)
Phillip: This Match Is Scheduled for One Fall, and is a singes match! Introducing first,, he is a former Junior Champion...Brian Carnage!!!
"Open your Eyes" by "Guano Apes" hits and Brian comes through. He then jumps into the ring. He waves to the crowd until...
Stay Together for the Kids by Blink 182 hits and Predator runs down to the ring in a leather jacket also wearing a nice pair of shades. He jumps into the ring and fireworks go off. He takes off his jacket. Brian Eyes down Predator, but pretends like he isn’t a big deal. Predator takes off his shades and hands them to the referee as well as the jacket.
Bell Rings
The 2 lower mid cards pace around the ring. They both have accomplishments to boast about. Both have great ring skills. Both are determined to get this win. For a win over another lower mid card get you one step closer to going up a rank or even getting a Junior/Entertainment title shot. Predator takes the opening opportunity and clashes with Brian. An intense grapple ensues. Both appear equal in strength. But after about 1 minute, the grapple is in Predator's favour and he takes down Brian with an arm drag. Although he keeps hold of Brian's arms and gets one of Brian's arms behind his back down to the mat. An impressive old school submission but Brian is thin enough to flip around out of the hold and get the same hold locked on Predator. Predator realises he has made a big mistake in letting Brian get the upper hand like that, now he will have to get to the ropes or pull off quite the reversal. Brian keeps the lock tight, the arm wrenched behind Predator's Upper Backside. Predator grits his teeth as he uses his one hand to help him crawl closer to the ropes. Brian sees this and tightens the hold. Predator yells in agony, but he keeps crawling. It’s been a 45 second hold now. Predator uses he last bit a strength to pull further, his hand, reaching the rope. Rope Break! Brian releases the hold as the referee checks out Predator to see if he is alright. Predator holds onto his wrist for a bit but then pushes the referee away...and looks at Brian.
Predator gets in a defence position as well as Brian. Brian runs at Predator attempts a flying Knee smash. But Predator dodges and goes for a clothesline on Brian. Brian bounces against the ropes and dodges the clothesline. He then bounces against the opposite ropes for a Flying Cross Body on Predator, which makes a direct hit! The cover of just 2 is given when Predator raises his shoulder up. Brian gets off of Predator and awaits him to get back to his feet. Predator arises again and gets Brian by the legs. He gets Brian down to the mat, another submission! The Sharpshooter!!! Predator's hands pull back Brian's legs. Brian is furious that he was foolish enough to be caught up in a hold. He screams and hollers because of the pain, but stays strong. Luckily for him, Predator does not have the strength to keep the hold going, so he lets go and Brian is relieved of pain.
Predator gets a quick wake up call when Brian suddenly bursts out and flips up socking Predator in the face. Predator covers his nose in agony as it bleeds. Brian pull Predator toward him and hits a German Suplex pin. Brian is pissed as Predator kicks out at 2.5. Brian grits his teeth. Predator shuts his eyes and tries to concentrate and push all of pain away. Trying to swallow it would seem. He then opens his eyes and gets his hands flat on the Mat and lifts his upper body up, as if doing a sit up. He then flips to his feet, but Brian tries to hit a swinging Neckbreaker...Predator evades it and Irish whips Brian into the ropes, Brian comes back, Kick to the gut, Pedigree!!! Predator goes for the cover: 1..................2................3!
Your winner of this match, The Predator!!!
The crowd is surprised but applauds Predator for his success, Brian is dumbfounded, too shocked for words as Predator has his hand raised by the referee. Brian rolls out of the ring, scratching his head, wondering what went wrong, whatever the 2 superstars thoughts, Predator has won today......

Segment: There is a Catch (Credit: JonnyG)
The fans still shocked from what they have witnessed. Then there is a huge pop as “In the End” is heard and JonnyG makes his way down the ramp way and slapping hands with the fans. When he gets into the ring he gets a microphone tossed to him and he then starts to speak
JonnyG: How is everyone here tonight?
The crowd reacts positively to show that they are having a good time
JonnyG: Well that’s good to know, ok now down to business. The reason why I am out here is because a couple of weeks ago Gooeygarth and I beat one half of the tag team champions and I beat Hunter as well, so I think that is more than enough wins that I need to become a contender for the tag belts.
Crowd starts to cheer
JonnyG: Yah I know I’m happy as well, so anyways Chairman Gingerdude I am asking you to come out here so you can confirm this add-on to the tag match
JonnyG is waiting in the ring for a couple of seconds then Chairman Gingerdude comes out and is standing on the stage with a mic in hand
Gingerdude: You know… your right I would be happy to have you in that match up but you do know that you are already booked for Hellbound with a match against FSX. (JonnyG starts to nod) Why the hell should I allow you to have another match?
JonnyG: I should be apart of this match I personally think and so does Gooey that we could possibly make the match go down in ACW history as one of the best matches for the ACW tag team belt.
Crowd cheers some more.
JonnyG: But I can guarantee that it will be talked about for ages to come and I also can guarantee that I will come out of Hellbound with one of the two belts that I am going for. So what do you say?
Gingerdude: But you know the rul-
Chairman is about to speak but then a chant for JonnyG starts so Chairman takes a deep breath and starts to speak again.
Gingerdude: Ok OK you will get your match but there is a little catch though…no matter what happens to you in those two matches…if you do win a title in one of your matches then you will have to defend it on the following Meltdown no question about it…well of course if your injury is life threatening then you wouldn’t have to but other than that no excuses.
JonnyG paces backs and forth in the ring and thinks a little about it
JonnyG: Absolutely!
Crowd cheers loudly and as soon as Ginger says those last words he disappears backstage and soon after JonnyG leaves the ring with In the End playing in the background

Segment: Putty in my Hands (Credit: Angelo)
Camera opens to Latino looking back and forth nervously
Angelo: Victor, Victor, Victor. Why are we so nervous today?
Latino: What are you talking about Angelo?
Angelo: Oh come on don’t give me that. You're pacing around like a little boy who needs a piss.
Latino: No I’m not. I'm just upset about something personal.
Angelo: oh you mean the Kitsune deal? Well I’ll make you a deal. You do me a little favour, and maybe I wont show Atomic the video.
Latino: And what if I don’t?
Angelo: If you don’t then I guess I’ll just have to go talk to Atomic, and then just happen to leave her the video.
Latino: You wouldn't.
Angelo: Oh you wanna try me?
Angelo pulls out the video and Latino tries to grab it. Angelo pulls it back though
Angelo: Just for that I'm gonna make you do something a little extra.
Latino: No I’m not gonna do what you say just cause you have that tape. Sooner or later I’m gonna get my hands on that tape and I’m gonna destroy it. And if you have extra's I’ll just destroy those ones too.
Angelo: Ok I see. You don’t wanna do what I say. So here. Here is the tape.
Angelo hands him the tape and walks off
Latino: Ok then. I guess he's weaker than I thought.
Latino starts walking away looking at the tape when Angelo hits him in the back of the head knocking him over, dropping the tape
Angelo grabs the tape
Angelo: You are to do what I say and never say no to me.
Latino is trying to get up now and stands on one knee and listens to Angelo
Latino: Ok Angelo what do I have to do?
Angelo: You have two things. One, take the ref out and then destroy Kross in my match. Two I want you to demand a match against RDK. I feel like I didn’t get the job done when I beat him. So I want you to finish him off.
Latino: I don’t want to say this but.....fine
Angelo: good
Latino: But you're not getting me to face RDK. Its not my business
Angelo: oh but this tape is.
Latino: you're gonna need more than that tape to make me agree.
Angelo: well then I guess I'm just gonna have to do something to convince you to do so.
Latino: yeah whatever
Latino walks off and Angelo just shakes his head

Match 4: Daredevil/Kain v 004 & JonnyG (Credit: Ridley)
Phillip: This next match is a special tag team attraction. It is scheduled for one fall.
"Slow Chemical" hits and Kain walks out onto the ramp, holding the Entertainment Title over one shoulder.
Phillip: Introducing first....from parts unknown, weighing in at 330 pounds...the Crimson Monster, Kain!
Kain climbs into the ring, steps over the ropes, and holds the title up as he glares out at the crowd, but his moment doesn't last long, as the theme from "Mission Impossible II" starts....
Phillip: And his tag team partner, hailing from Cardiff, Wales, this is Daredevil!
Daredevil enters the ring, not taking his eyes of Kain. It's very evident that this odd couple doesn't quite trust each other, and whether they'll be able to cohesively work together is questionable.
No time to think, though; "Stand Up" by Ludacris hits, and Double Oh-Four bounces out onto the stage, waving JonnyG out behind him.
Phillip: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 430 pounds, Double-Oh Four and JonnyG!
The two slide into the ring, and Jonny shakes hands with Daredevil, who then goes to follow suit with 004. However, Kain pushes him away and shouts at him not to do so. While Daredevil's a bit annoyed at this, he doesn't have time to complain, as Kain's left for the apron, meaning he'll start against Double-Oh Four.
Bell rings.
The two men circle each other for a second, then lock up. Daredevil, the quicker of the pair, is able to shift his weight enough to gain the advantage, and flips 004 over onto his back, applying a wraparound armbar. After a few seconds, 004 uses his momentum to roll backwards out of it and slaps a hammerlock on, gaining control over Daredevil. They struggle for a brief second until, in an impressive display of agility, Daredevil jumps up onto the second rope and springboard backflips over his opponent, breaking 004's hammerlock on him. He catches the waist and launches into a Backlund Bridge, but 004 rolls through before the two-count and lands on his feet.
Turning to face each other, both men charge each other. Daredevil slides through 004's clothesline and backs up into the corner to attack; Kain takes this opportunity to tag himself in. Daredevil, not realizing he's been tagged, dashes forward and hits Double-Oh Four with a leg lariat, knocking him down. Kain's already vaulted up to the top rope, and as 004 springs back to his feet to retaliate, he's clobbered from behind with 330 pounds of diving clothesline. Kain makes the cover, but only gets a two. After the referee explains the situation, Daredevil reluctantly leaves the ring and takes his position waiting for the tag.
Kain, meanwhile, is pummelling Double-Oh Four (who desperately needs to make a tag) with a series of right hands. He performs an Irish whip to the ropes, but upon attempting a gorilla press on the way back, he doesn't hold on tightly enough, and 004 slips off Kain's grasp. Immediately after landing, he dropkicks Kain in the back of the knee, bringing the Crimson Nightmare low, then hits him with a bulldog. It's just enough time for Double-Oh Four to dive to the ropes and tag in Jonny, who storms the ring as Daredevil tries to assist Kain.

Jonny cleans house with kicks and clotheslines, knocking both of his adversaries down, and sends Daredevil for the Irish Whip. DD leaps over an attempted backdrop and attempts a quebrada off the ropes....but Jonny's too big, and he catches Daredevil, then tosses him over the top and onto the floor. Kain's gotten up, and is about to attack, but Double-Oh Four's looking for payback, and he ambushes the Crimson Nightmare from behind. Both Jonny and 004 drive a series of right hands into Kain's jaw into conjunction, stunning him, then attempt a double suplex.
Kain's too big a man for the suplex, though; he blocks it twice, and by then it's too late; Daredevil hauls ass onto the apron and performs a magnificent flip off the top rope, through the air, and over Kain's back. He catches both men with a picture-perfect double Buff Blockbuster, drawing an amazed reaction from the crowd. Kain hauls 004 back to his feet and is about to punch him when Daredevil gets the same idea and attempts a savate kick. Double-Oh Four dives out of the way, and DD crashes into his tag partner, who's pissed. Deciding he'd been right about his "untrustworthy partner" all along, Kain clobbers Daredevil with a huge boot to the face, sending him rolling, then turns and catches 004 around the throat for the Rain of Pain.
Jonny's on the move to save his partner, however; he's already on the top turnbuckle with Kain's head in his crosshairs. He leaps through the air with a double axehandle......
....and in a snake-like strike, Kain catches Jonny around the throat as well, dragging him back to the ground. The crowd pops huge as Kain hits a DOUBLE Rain of Pain on both of his opponents, then covers them for the one, two, three.
Phillip: Here are your winners, Kain and Daredevil!!!
Daredevil, pissed off beyond belief at his partner, has already slid back into the ring, and he's got a chair. As Kain turns around, he takes the steel full in the face, knocking him back, followed by an attempted Stunt Bomb. The Crimson Monster, even stunned, proves to be too heavy for DD to lift, however, and he has no choice but to abort the move and retreat before Kain can retaliate.
Both men shout at each other over the calls of the audience, but each is secretly wondering if he'll be able to defeat the other at Hellbound Heart.

Segment: Two Can Play at That Game (Credit: Yoko)
Yoko Satoshi exits the Demon Pit holding her laptop, and sits down on the floor to work, not wanting to disturb Ridley with her typing.
A few moments pass, when she hears the sound of a girl crying.
Yoko: Hello?
No one answers, and the crying continues.
Yoko: What's wrong?
Little Girl: Please help me, he's hurting me.
Yoko quickly stands up and begins to follow the crying.
Little Girl: Hurry, it hurts! Mommy!
Yoko: Where are you?
Yoko comes to an open door that leads to a pitch black room. She steps inside.
Little Girl: PLEASE STOP!
Yoko: Don't worry, I'm going to help you!
The little girl screams and the crying stops.
Yoko: Are you ok?
The door behind her slams, cutting off all light. She hears footsteps to her left.
Yoko: Don't come near me!
She hears footsteps behind her and in other parts of the room. She begins to sprint around the room, completely disoriented by the lack of light. The footsteps are all around.
Yoko: SOMEBODY HELP ME!
She screams as loudly as she can. Suddenly, the lights turn on.
She looks around the room. The only contents are speakers against various walls, and a big banner hanging from the ceiling that reads You're not the only one who can play head games. Your favourite priest, Michael Kross."
She slumps down against a wall.
Yoko: Bastard...
The door snaps open and she turns her head, Rena is standing there.
Rena: What's wrong? I heard you screaming and ran to help.
Yoko: Kross locked me in here in the dark and scared me.
Kross: And it was hilarious, I might add.
Kross steps out of a second door at the end of the room. Rena walks over to him, and slaps him as hard as she can.
Rena: You had no right to scare her half to death!
Yoko: Come on, let's just go.
Yoko stands up and leaves the room. Rena follows, but turns to Kross after exiting the door.
Rena: You WILL pay, Kross. I promise.
She turns and leaves.
End Segment.

Match 5: Kross v Angelo (Credit: Ridley, Ending Credit: Latino)
Phillip: This next match is a traditional singles match. It is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first....
"No Sleep Till Brooklyn" (the FBI's theme) hits, and is privately greeted with a shower of boos.
Phillip: From Venice, Italy, the don of the Italian Mafia...Angelo Giovanni!
Angelo shouts more abuse at the fans than they do at him, adding in several incomprehensible Roman-accented slurs and a chin flick when he reaches the ring for effect. He pops his knuckles and puts out the expensive cigar he's smoking as "Vater Unser" plays.
Phillip: And his opponent....from the Vatican City, weighing in at 202 pounds...Michael Kross!
Kross walks down the ramp, bestowing blessings on the fans in a sharp contrast to Angelo's behaviour. He reaches the ring and discards his extra clothing, setting his cross on the apron next to the turnbuckle. The two men face each other for the first time, but each is sure it'll be a hard-fought match.
Bell rings.
Angelo and Kross aren't planning on messing around; they rush each other right at the outset. The mutual shoulderblock doesn't knock over either man, so Don Giovanni gives it another try. Kross changes his game plan mid-move and catches Angelo with an armdrag on the way back. Angelo springs to his feet, charges again, and eats another armdrag. This time, it's Kross who goes on the attack, but his foe turns the tables on him and does an armdrag of his own. The two come up simultaneously and stare at each other, both impressed. It looks like their suspicions about each other have been confirmed.
With a new strategy, Angelo knees Kross in the gut and slaps on a headlock, bouncing off the side ropes for a running bulldog. The priest, however, manages to shove Angelo off and roll. As Angelo comes back on the rebound, he's met with an attempted wheel kick. He counters with a sliding shoulder tackle, and Kross passes over his head without either man actually hitting the other. Not to be deterred, the Mafioso wheels around, but he finds an unexpected surprise: Kross has done a front cartwheel onto the ropes, and uses that to rebound and attempt a handspring elbow. The bigger Angelo catches him and hurls him for a German Suplex, but Kross flips in midair and lands on his feet. Giovanni's lariat is met with a flapjack, and Kross leaps into the air after his foe, dropkicking him away in midair. He dives onto Angelo and hooks the leg, but is forcibly thrown off after one.
Angelo slides out of the ring, cursing in Italian, and retreats to the floor for a second to recuperate. As he looks up, however, he sees Kross dashing across the ring for a suicide dive. He jumps onto the apron, but Kross has anticipated this counter; he slides under the bottom rope and through Angelo's legs before leaping onto the guardrail and attempting a springboard crossbody. Giovanni's a step ahead of his adversary, and has already bounced up onto the top rope; he kicks the just-landing Kross off the apron, bounces again, this time landing on his feet with excellent balance, and hits a sky-high Asai moonsault, knocking both of them to the floor.
By the time they're back up and brawling into the ramp (which isn't too long; both men are stoked as hell), the countout limit has already expired. The fans boo, expecting the match to end in a draw...but the ref simply shrugs as if to say "I'll allow it", and the match continues, drawing a huge pop.
Meanwhile, Angelo gives Kross a neck-snapping tiger suplex off the runway, then grabs a chair out of the front row. He jumps off the ramp onto the floor with the chair held under him, intending to splash Kross. However, the priest has rolled and grabbed a chair of his own; as Angelo comes down, he's met with a shot to the face in midair. Angelo flops backwards and flails like a fish out of water, clutching his face; another two chairshots fall on him and Kross reaches under the ramp, producing a nightstick. He takes a swing, but Angelo's ready; he rolls to the side and snatches up a baseball bat from the same spot just in time to block Kross's next swing.
Angelo now takes a swing of his own; the nightstick and the bat crash against each other with a loud THUNK. His next swing is parried by Kross, who leaps into the air, kicks off the wall, lands on Angelo's shoulders, and jumps up onto the stage. Angelo is momentarily stunned by this, but he quickly recuperates and chases Kross up. Their weapons clash again and again until Kross goes for a thrust with the nightstick, and Angelo catches his attack. With a quick spinning motion, he wheelthrows Kross headfirst into the neon "MELTDOWN" on the side of the set.

The entire crowd is on their feet by now, and a resounding chant of "THIS IS AWESOME *clap clap clapclapclap*" has been roaring over the arena for a full two minutes now. It's not showing any signs of slowing up as Kross returns the favor of slamming Angelo's head into the side of the Titantron. He finally makes a cover, and the referee (who's followed the two up to the stage) counts to two before Angelo forcefully thrusts a shoulder up, breaking the count. Kross is somewhat frustrated, but it only serves to fuel his desire to win.
The priest moves to the side and reaches into the back, coming out with first one wooden table, then another. Setting them both up next to the Titantron, he goes back to get Angelo, but the wily crime boss has been playing possum, and he nails Kross with a low blow as he's about to be picked up. This doubles Kross over, and Angelo sees his opportunity; he signals for the Italian Decimator, and hoists his adversary into the air. Showing phenomenal strength, Angelo holds Kross on his shoulders with one hand and points to the tables with the other, then runs forward to put him through both.
As Kenta Kobashi, Dan Maff, and Justice Pain have learned many times, however, if the opponent is given long enough to recover, he can easily backslide out of a burning hammer. So it is that Kross pushes off Angelo's shoulders, hits the steel stage, and rolls away from the tables as Angelo's momentum sends him crashing onto them. Neither table breaks, however, and Don Giovanni hops back to his feet. He has no time to counter, however; Kross comes running and leaps a full four feet into the air, hitting him with a Redeemer kick in midair. The fans go wild as Kross makes the cover and the ref counts one, two---NO! Angelo somehow manages to get a shoulder up. The crowd, Kross, and the referee are amazed that he kicked out of the Redeemer, and it's beginning to become questionable as to what it'll take to put the mafioso away.
Kross, shaking his head in disbelief, picks Angelo up to work him over some more, but the Italian hoss rams him in the stomach with an elbow, then hurls him up against the side of the Titantron. Out of instinct, Kross hangs on upon impact (rather than falling to the floor), and Angelo grabs him by the ankle to pull him back down. He's met with a kick to the face, however, and the priest climbs higher to escape his assailant. In hot pursuit, Angelo leaps up after Kross and grabs at him again. This time, Kross simply drops his weight and hits Angelo full in the chest with both feet, knocking him off the side of the Titantron, four feet onto the tables.
Kross looks down at his opponent, lying on the pair of tables, and then makes his decision; with the agility of a spider, he darts up the side of the Titantron until he stands poised twenty feet above the prone Angelo. Kross is silhouetted against his own image on the screen as he spreads both arms, and the noise level hits maximum as he makes the sign of the cross, shouts "In nomine patris et fili et spiritus sancti", and leaps off the Titantron into the Divine Wrath, crashing down on Angelo, breaking both tables, and actually causing the stage to sag in a cataclysmic impact. The "holy shit" chants start up really fast as Kross manages to drop an arm over Angelo's shoulders for the one...two...three.
Phillip: The winner of this match...Michael Kross!!!
Kross has to be assisted from the wreckage; as the referee holds his hand in the air, he grins widely, thrilled with the giant pop he's gotten. A second later, when Angelo starts motioning for someone to come from the back. A huge pop is heard as Latino comes out with a reluctant look on his face. Angle starts yelling at Latino to do the job. Kross now notices Latino and smiles offering to shake his hand. Latino still with a reluctant look on his face glances at Angelo then back at Kross. He throws a punch at Kross and pulls off a Diamond Cutter. Latino turns to leave but Angelo stops him and tells him he’s not finished.
Angelo: Hey! You didn’t finish the damn job! Now finish it now!
Latino climbs the turnbuckle and delivers a frog splash to Kross’ unconscious body. He picks up Kross and gives him an inverted piledriver slamming his head onto the ring floor. Latino rolls out of the ring wanting to get as far away from the ring and Angelo as he can.
Latino: There it’s fucking done!
The camera performs a close up on Angelo and catches his final words right before the commercial break.
Angelo: You’re not even close to being done Laureano.
Cut to commercial.

Segment: A Visit from Pain INC (Credit: Rose)
The screen is dark and along with the sound of a cars engine shutting off, a pair of familiar feminine voices is heard
Voice 1: Are we there?
Voice 2: Yes, if the address is correct we have arrived
Voice 1: Ok are we doing it now?
Voice 2: Oh yes indeed
The sound of car doors opening and closing is heard
Voice 2: This must be the place, turn the camera on
The camera turns on and we see a two story quaint and cosy looking wooden house at the onset of night. Then we see a familiar face move onscreen, the face of Alexandra "The White Rose" Kaesar. She is in pretty much normal attire and if not for her unique hair colour and exceptional good looks, she would blend in with any crowd
Rose: Hold the camera steady Yoko, this will be a classy production
Yoko: Is this really…<br> Rose cuts Yoko off
Rose: Yes, this is the home of BK London. So I am sure you are wondering why we are hear London, why would we even go near your family? Well, I can assure you, I had no intention to ever go after your family, until they invited me. Well, time to meet the London family. Rose knocks on the door a few times before a little girl of about 6 or 7 years old answers the door[/i]
Rose: Why hello there little girl
The little girl recognizes Rose and takes a few cautious few steps back. Rose smiles a bit at this and she remembers that she is a well known figure
Rose: Do you know who I am?
Little Girl: You are that mean woman who wants to hurt daddy….
Rose: My name is Alexandra and I assure you that it is not my intention to hurt your daddy. You see, we are kinda like the people on TV. Its all an act we just pretend to hate each other, just like the actors in a movie. Do you understand?
The little girl becomes trusting and her frown turns upside down, so to speak. Rose points towards the camera
Rose: And this is my friend, her name is Yoko Satoshi
Yoko: Hello!
Rose: And what is your name little girl?
Little Girl: My name is Princess
Rose: Princess eh? Why that is a nice name and you even look the part
Princess: Thank you Alexa---- Alexandw----
Rose smiles just a bit
Rose: Call me Alex
