Meltdown begins with a brief shot of the outside of the arena, which quickly switches to one of the cheering masses of fans inside. People crowd forward trying to get as close to the cameras as possible, and security does its usual excellent job of keeping order without spoiling the atmosphere.
Things settle down as the titantron comes to life; the first scene is immediately recongnisable as Chairman Gingerdude’s office. The chairman is there, and he’s already involved in an animated discussion with Alicia Kitsune.
Alicia: So, you’re telling me that the board decided to leave the decision on when Latino can return solely in your hands? Without there actually being a hearing?
Ginger: That’s right. The board members are incredibly busy people, they felt I was perfectly capable of handling this issue myself.
Alicia glares; she doesn’t look at all happy.
Alicia: I see. So it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you’d have had to submit to an independent inspection of the “injury” that Latino supposedly caused, then?
Ginger: I resent the tone of your-
Alicia: No, I resent the way in which you’ve manipulated this entire situation. For God’s sake Ginger, what’s happening to this federation? The atmosphere here used to be relaxed, fun even…. now it’s completely different. You’ve set up deals with the kind of people that shouldn’t be within 100 miles of a reputable organization-
Ginger: I have done what had to be done so that this federation could continue to grow and thrive! Do you have any idea of what all this costs, and how many other competitors we have? I LOVE this company, so much so that I’ve taken the hard decisions that had to be made.
Alicia: But Ginger, I’m telling you, I just don’t trust-
The door opens abruptly, and Mercer Stanton walks in with Elias at his back.
Stanton: Oh, please, you didn’t have to stand for me. Do carry on.
Ginger gives him a sideways glance, then turns back to Alicia.
Ginger: It’s all right, we’re done. Miss Kitsune, Mr. Laureano will be returned to the active roster when I decide that it is appropriate for him to do so. Is that understood?
Alicia glares at him for a moment.
Alicia: Perfectly, sir.
She turns and heads for the door; Stanton takes his usual seat, while Elias watches her like a hawk as she crosses the room. As she opens the door Alicia looks back over her shoulder.
Alicia: How strange……I was always taught that a gentleman should knock before entering someone else’s office.
Elias just continues staring, and Stanton raises a fraction of an eyebrow as the door shuts.
Fade out.

Segment: Oh Shit!....In more ways than one…… (Credit: JonnyG / Gooeygarth)
The scene opens with mixed reactions of boos and cheers for Gooey and Jonny as it shows them just relaxing in their locker room flipping through channels when there is a knock at the door and Jonny gets up to get it and is surprised to see who it is.
Jonny: Well look who it is?
The camera zooms off his face to show who is at the door, and it’s the delivery man that delivered them packages previous times.
Jonny: How have you been? Long time no see. Hey Gooey look who it is!
The camera shifts over to Gooey and Gooey gets up, laughing and chuckling and then the camera shifts back to the delivery man blushing a little.
Gooey: So now that you’re here why don’t you give us your name?
Delivery Man: Oh…..uh…..my name its…….uh…Stewart…uh yah that’s RIGHT, Stewart.
Jonny: You sure about that Stewart?
Gooey: Yah, you sure about that? We don’t like it when people lie to us.
Stewart: Yes I AM…..(calms down).......Sorry…….a-a-anyways I'm here because I'm delivering a package to you guys, here is your sofa you ordered…..
Jonny: SOFA? I didn’t order a sofa…<br> Gooey: …..No, I did.
Jonny: You did? Why did you do that?
Gooey: Have you seen the junk we sit on?
Jonny walks over to the sofa, jumps and sits down hard on it.
Jonny: See? It’s not so bad…..
A creaking sound is heard and with a crash the legs give way, dropping the sofa to the ground and causing Jonny to roll off and end up in a heap.
Jonny: Ok you win, we’ll keep the sofa.
Stewart: Oh, and before I forget here are the keys to your new car…<br> Jonny: …WHA? A NEW CAR? SHOW ME, STEWART!
Stewart and Jonny start to walk out the room and Gooey follows closely behind. They walk through the hall and into the parking lot and there is a big white cloth over a car and Stewart turns to Jonny.
Stewart: Here you go….. enjoy!
Jonny whips off the tarp from the car and the camera zooms into Jonny’s face of shock as the camera zooms out to show a new 2005 Honda Civic painted silver in the middle of the garage.
Jonny: H-H-H-How did you pay for this and where did you get this from?
Gooey: Well, you know eBay right?
Jonny: YOU GOT THIS ON EBAY? How much did you pay?
Gooey: 10g’s CAN, but I didn’t exactly pay for it……
Jonny: Please Gooey, tell me you didn’t use the company card for it.
Gooey: Ok you don’t have to worry, I didn’t.
Jonny heaves a deep sigh of relief.
Gooey: ….heheheh this might sound funny to you but, I used yours……
Jonny: You did what!!? How could you use my card? I didn’t give it to you?!
Gooey: I remembered your card number. Its 8945--
Jonny: Quiet you! I don’t need millions of people charging things to my card….
Jonny huffs, but as he walks around the car he seems to be warming to it quite a lot.
Jonny: Well since this is MY car, why don’t we make it look a lot better?
Jonny pulls out his cell phone and dials a number on it.
Jonny: Hey, it’s me…….How soon could you be here?.......I’m at the arena…….oh, 10 minutes? Awesome, see you then.
Gooey: Who was that?
Jonny: You’ll find out soon enough.
The scene fades out with Jonny and Gooey both checking out the car completely inside and out.

Segment: Boiler Room (Credit: Hunter)
The scene fades into an unknown locker room. It isn't unknown that long, though, as the dent in the locker clearly reminds the fans of the events in this exact room last Monday. Hunter bursts through the door with the Junior Champion behind him.
Kalb: Well, don't worry. We'll get him later.
Hunter: They've had this planned since the start. I know it!
Kalb: But the Corporate Alliance broke up!
Hunter: Yeah, from Ginger. BK and TNT could still be working together!
Kalb: Well, it's possible.
Hunter: Man, I had that match won!
Kalb: Well, you'll get a chance to redeem yourself...tonight!
Hunter: Yeah, a World Title shot. My first, even. People finally understand that I deserve that title. But, I'm still a little...worried about it.
Hunter sighs and walks over to his locker and sits down on the bench. He then puts his head in his hands.
Kalb: Are you sure you're okay? You haven't been yourself lately.
Hunter: Yeah, I know. You guys tell me that every three minutes.
Kalb: What's stressing you out then?
Hunter: Many things. Mainly the note.
Kalb: Yeah, what was up with that note?
Hunter: I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
Hunter reaches out and opens his locker. Suddenly, hundreds of pieces of paper fly out at Hunter and fall at his feet.
Kalb: Woah.
Hunter, annoyed, slowly looks down and sees nearly all of the papers face up. They all display the same message:
BOILER ROOM
Kalb notices the messages too. Hunter looks at him.
Kalb: Dude, I've been with the rest of the guys all day. None of us put those there.
Hunter: You up for it?
Kalb: Hell yeah. There's about an hour or two before your match – I’ve got to speak with Fitzharris about something first, but then I’ll be there.
Kalb runs out the door. Hunter looks down at the notes, then slowly picks one up and puts it into his pocket. Kalb reappears around the corner.
Kalb: You coming?
Hunter smiles and follows Kalb out the door.
Fade Out.

Segment: A blossoming friendship (Credit: Yoko)
The next scene opens as the camera fades in on the entrance to the arena. Yoko Satoshi and Jade are arriving together. The camera follows them through the doors.
Yoko: I had a really good time over the last few days.
Jade: I guess it was fun, I didn't have anything better to do. Do you want to do what we talked about?
Yoko: You really want to? With me?
Jade: Sure, we might be good together. But if I don't like it, it ends. Ok?
Yoko nods and hugs her.
Jade: ...I'm going to go to my locker room now. Come and get me when you're ready.
Jade and Yoko split at a fork in the hallway to go to their separate locker rooms.
End Segment.

Segment: Fresh Motivation (Credit: Vinnie Dulario)
Outside in the parking lot, the scene cuts to a long black stretch limo. The windows are tinted black, not allowing anyone to see what is inside. On the back of the luxury automobile is a license plate that reads "MCKEY". As the camera moves, there’s no sign of G Unit and their own new wheels, which suggests that the limo is in a different part of the lot.
Getting close to the limousine, shouting and frantic talking can be heard inside. The crowd can make out a gruff Italian accent, and a beautiful woman's voice. Suddenly, Vinnie Dulario steps into the frame, and crosses his arms as he stares at the tinted window. He taps on it, and the conversation inside stops. The window slowly lowers, and an armed man in an expensive suit peers out.
Dulario: Donnie DeMarc. Surprised to see you here tonight.
The man smirks, then opens the door. Vinnie steps inside, and sits on the only open seat, in between two large men, again wearing expensive suits. Vinnie glances across at three more people. Mickey, his sister, and Donnie DeMarc. Mickey has a silenced pistol on his lap, and Donnie is cleaning his nails out with the tip of a folding knife.
Dulario: Hey, sweetheart.
Maggie looks up at Vinnie and gives a smile, but the fear is evident in her eyes. Vinnie's heart leaps to his throat as he senses her unease. She is dressed for a night on the town, with her hair done and make-up applied liberally.
Mickey: How ya' doin' here, Vinnie?
Vinnie glances over at the man who has all his bases covered.
Dulario: I'm doing fine here.
Mickey: I don't think you are, Vinnie.
Vinnie doesn't talk back. Instead, he watches as Mickey pulls a cigar out of his inside jacket pocket. He cuts the end off, then snaps his fingers. Maggie is right there with a lighter. Mickey takes a few puffs before speaking again, the whisps of smoke rolling out of his mouth and fading into the air.
Mickey: Your sister, she learns quick, Vinnie. Now, I've watched the last two weekly shows. The ACW is doing quite strong, I should say. However...you aren't. Vinnie, you're a tough guy. One of the toughest I ever worked with. You're also a man with pride. I know you are a proud man because of all the years I spent watching you do Vercetti's work. Now, two Asian women, one of them only seventeen, have kicked your fucking ass all over that ring. Doesn't that...sting your pride a little?
Vinnie keeps his mouth shut, deciding to see where this is heading. Maggie stares at the floor, her hands folded in her lap, visibly shaking.
Mickey: Never mind, that was a rhetorical question, anyway. I just don't see how one tough, tough guy is taken out so easily. What did I tell you would happen if you failed me here? WHAT DID I TELL YOU?
Dulario: Y-
Mickey: DON'T FUCKING ANSWER ME! I'm talking here! I got one more question for you. Do you want your sister to work for me? Do you want her to become my whore?
Mickey nods, and the two men beside Vinnie suddenly restrain both his arms. Vinnie struggles slightly, testing their grip. He realizes he’s going nowhere until they release him. Mickey has an arm around Maggie, taking a few more puffs of his cigar.
Mickey: What a sweet little flower she is, Vinnie. I'm quite proud of myself for taking her off the streets and away from that Mexican fellow. But we can never erase the fact that she was once a whore. She sold her body to men for money. You know what they say, Vinnie, once a whore, always a whore. I think she has a...taste for it now...
Mickey leans in close, burying his face in Maggie's hair. Vinnie swallows a lump in his throat as several horrific images of Mickey taking advantage of her float through his mind. He surges forward, wanting nothing more than to free his arms and wrap his hands around Mickey's throat and strangle the life out of him slowly.
Mickey: I see you've met Mr. DeMarc. Like you, Vinnie, I admire his work. Mr. DeMarc here specialized in unique forms of sadism that you and I cannot comprehend. He told me an interesting story on the way here. Did you find it interesting, my sweet?
Maggie slowly turns to face him.
Maggie: Fuck you.
Mickey smiles, then backhands her. Maggie's face whips around, and a drop of blood runs from the corner of her mouth. Vinnie once again surges forward, but yet again is restrained by the bigger men. Mickey brought the butt of his pistol up to Vinnie's chin in a savage blow. Vinnie lays his head back, seeing stars float in front of his eyes.
Mickey: I want him to watch this.
One of the men grabs Vinnie's head, and tilts it forward, holding it so he can't look away. Mickey has Maggie's arms pinned behind her back, and DeMarc stares at her body, moving his gaze up and down the gentle, beautiful curves.
DeMarc: Vinnie, are you interested in Native American culture? I find it fascinating. The Cherokees especially. You see, the Cherokees had unique ways to deal with many problems in their society. One of my personal favorites is the Cherokee nose job. Ever hear of it?
Vinnie feels his body threatening to pass out, but fights against that urge. His head is being held fast, and he can only watch as DeMarc rubs Maggie's thigh with his free hand. His other hand holds the serrated blade, which glints in the light.
DeMarc: When the Cherokees found a prostitute, or sometimes just a woman who was too sexually promiscuous, they would let the world know what her sins were. The Cherokees would slit the nose of the woman, right down the center, so her entire face would look like a vagina, the part of the body that got her in trouble. Now, there are rare cases documented where the punishment was less severe. A tribal medicine man would instead remove the woman's clitoris, so her future partners would be wary. This was because slitting the nose by a warrior often led to infection, and then later death. The medicine men knew somewhat the value of sterilizing their tools with fire, and the second operation lessened the chance of death greatly.
DeMarc suddenly moves his leg up Maggie's thigh, under her dress. He rips away suddenly, pulling off her underwear. Vinnie chokes, his rage steadily building. DeMarc puts his hand back under her dress, and Vinnie cam see that he is rubbing her most intimate areas. Maggie is in shock, taking ragged breaths, but not daring to fight.
Mickey: Ooh, lookey that.
DeMarc: Now, Vinnie, your sister has a pretty face. It would be a shame to ruin it. So, I'm going to take a cue from the medicine men.
DeMarc takes the lighter from Maggie's purse, and holds the flame up to the cold steel blade for a few moments. He then hikes up her dress a bit.
Dulario: NO!!!
Vinnie doesn't fight, but just screams his objection. Mickey smiles, and nods his head at DeMarc, who stops moving towards the operating area near Maggie's hips.
Mickey: Well, Mr. DeMarc, I think we're finally getting through to him.
Mickey releases Maggie's arms, and lets her lay back against him. She has tears rolling down her face, smearing the make-up. She stays stock – still, obviously out of fear. She trembles all over, and only locks eyes with Vinnie. Mickey reaches over and pulls her dress down, covering her.
Mickey: Show a little modesty, dear.
DeMarc and Mickey chuckle a bit. Vinnie finds himself grating his teeth together as he stares at his afraid, helpless sister.
Mickey: Look at me, Vinnie.
Vinnie slowly turns his gaze towards Mickey.
Mickey: You win your match tonight. Maggie is going to stay with us and watch. You're going to start earning us revenue. Tonight. And if you don't, Mr. DeMarc is gonna have playtime with your sister. She'll never be the same after he gets through with her, trust me on that.
Mickey suddenly opens the door, and he steps out with DeMarc. Vinnie finds himself being tossed out by the two men who were holding him. He hit the concrete, finding it hard to stand after that blow to the head. He lies on his back, staring up at the parking garage ceiling. Mickey and DeMarc look down at him.
Mickey: Pick yourself up, man.
Mickey steps back inside the limousine.
DeMarc: I always wanted to meet you, just once. The legendary hitman. I have to say, I'm a big fan of your work.
DeMarc smirks, then steps inside the limousine with the rest of the entourage. He slams the door shut, and the limo speeds off, leaving Vinnie laying in pain, rubbing his chin and testing his jaw, as the scene fades out.

Match 1:”Rookie Monster” Danny Richards vs. Macho Man RDK
What the fans have just witnessed has shocked them to the core; it takes all Philip’s accumulated skills to bring them back around in order to get the night’s action underway.
Philip: The first match tonight is a singles match, scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Blackpool, England, he is the current ACW Entertainment Champion – the “Rookie Monster” Danny Richards!
”Lamb of God” starts to play as Rookie comes out, accompanied by a waterfall of gold sparks to set off his title belt. He walks to the ring, eyeing up the fans with disdain, though the profusion of banners bearing slogans such as “Rookie Taught Me all I needed to know” and “A is for Ass-Kicking” evidently pleases him. He enters the ring and hands over his belt slowly, before stretching and warming up as everyone awaits his opponent.
Philip: And next, from Yellowknife, Canada…….The Macho Man, RDK!
The fans go berserk as “Macho Man” hits, and RDK storms out into an arena overflowing with affection and a lust for some destruction. RDK’s just the man for the job, and he wastes little time getting to the ring, whipping off his trademark sunglasses, and giving Rookie a cocked – eyebrow gaze. The ref, deciding that it’s time for things to get going, waves to the timekeeper on the outside.
Bell Rings.
It’s another tough match for Rookie, and he looks to be concentrating hard as he and RDK start to circle. Some of the fans have speculated that Rookie’s undertaking a series of challenging matches in preparation for Fallen Heroes, but for now there’s no way of telling exactly what’s in Rookie’s mind. Whatever the case the fans are expecting a strong opening match, and as Rookie and RDK lock up they push hard against one another until RDK hooks out Rookie’s leg with his own and brings both men to the mat. This is something of a departure in style for RDK as well as he pulls Rookie’s arms behind his back – he uses a foot to put pressure on Rookie’s neck, but Rookie won’t let himself get trapped in this situation and he rolls forcefully so that RDK loses his grip. Rookie keeps rolling to the outside and then dashes around the ring to slide in again; RDK meets him and a several massive punches are exchanged until Rookie get in a strong shot and is able to pull off a snap suplex that shakes the ring as RDK lands. Rookie pins and gets 2; without pausing he hauls RDK up and whips him to the ropes, looking for a Rookieboot. RDK just about manages to stop himself in time and immediately has to duck as Rookie moves forward with a swinging arm to try and knock him down that way. The Macho Man’s too quick, however, and the fans cheer as Rookie turns around straight into a Macho slam. RDK pins and also gets a 2 count; Rookie shoves him off and launches straight into a counter – attack, chopping away at RDK and attempting to direct him into one of the corners. RDK plays ball until they’re a couple of feet away, and then grabs Rookie’s arm, sending him powerfully into the turnbuckle. RDK puts the boots in as Rookie is stuck against the corner, facing the crowd, and the Macho Man’s fans cheer another solid display from their hero.
RDK keeps stamping on Rookie, focusing on his back, but Rookie won’t put up with this indefinitely; he spins around suddenly and smashes RDK in the side of his head, making him stagger a few steps to the side. Rookie throws RDK into the very same corner, and uses his phenomenal power with a counted 10 – punch. RDK is very dazed as Rookie lifts him up on to his shoulders, moves to the centre of the ring and then executes a DVD with enormous force; some of the fans cry out in alarm and Rookie pins with just a slight smirk. RDK isn’t ready to give in, however, and kicks out at 2.5 which thrills the fans but doesn’t please Rookie so much. As they get up Rookie whips RDK to the ropes and readies for a match – ending Rookieline; RDK ducks under in the nick of time and continues on to the other side of the ring. He rebounds and Rookie tries again, with the same result – except this time RDK stops once he’s passed Rookie and grabs him for a backslide out of nowhere. Rookie frees himself at the 2 count, annoyed at being fooled; RDK cocks an eyebrow drawing a big cheer and signals that he’s ready to wind this one up. He dodges Rookie’s next attack, grabs him and lifts for the Rockbottom – but Rookie’s got a surprise of his own. As RDK lifts Rookie jumps with him, and the fans go bananas as RDK finds his move countered into the RooKO! The ref is almost knocked off his feet by the vibrations of the landing, and Rookie pins, 1,2,th – RDK kicks and there’s another surge of sound. RDK pulls himself up and sees that Rookie’s desperation counter has also done some damage to him; he hauls himself as fast as he can to the corner, and without hesistation leaps off into his moonsault, nailing it just before Rookie is able to get clear. RDK makes the cover, and Rookie just doesn’t quite have enough energy to mobilize in order to kick out before the 3 count.
Philip: Here is your winner………RDK!
The fans cheer ecstatically as RDK slowly gets up; he holds his neck with one hand, and it’s clear to everyone that this was far from an easy match for him. Rookie rolls out of the ring; he isn’t prepared to accept RDK’s handshake (in time – honoured heel fashion) but simply holds up his title belt, taunting his detractors as he heads to the back. RDK enjoys the adulation of the crowd for a few more moments before also taking his leave, and the show takes a short break for a Fallen Heroes trailer.

Segment: Going it alone (Credit: Rose)
The scene opens with Alexandra "The White Rose" Kaesar walking down the crowded hallway of the ACW arena looking very concerned and very much like she is in a hurry. She is in such a rush that a few people have to quickly shift to the side of the hallway to make way for her. She keeps this fast and steady pace until she comes up to a door and knocks on it repeatedly.
??: Come In.
Rose opens the door and the first thing she sees is Wyvern half bent over obviously in the process of tying his boots. He sits in a regular blue steel folding chair and he also looks to be in quite a bit of pain. Rose actually looks like she is concerned for a second, but she quickly replaces it with a very serious gaze.
Rose: Hello, Wyvern.
Wyvern: Hello, Rose.
There is a very awkward silence between the two and after a while they both try to think of a way to end it. Rose comes up with what seems like a suitable topic for conversation, but it is obviously not the best way to start.
Rose: How are your----
Wyvern knows what she is about to ask, he is still slightly upset by the incident that happened on Warfare, and is not in the mood to talk about it. He takes no time in cutting Rose off.
Wyvern: Fine, they will be fine provided I don’t aggravate the injury any more. A few cuts and bruises never killed anybody. I am just glad Ridley wasn’t able to hurt you quite as bad.
Rose grows suddenly angry and this is probably brought about due to slight guilt.
Rose: I had no need for your little heroics, Wyvern. Ridley doesn’t have near as much mercy as I had for you. He would not hesitate if he had the opportunity to destroy you.
Wyvern: I am aware of that.
Rose: Are you really? Do you really have any idea what Ridley is capable of? Wyvern, you have no idea, but I do. I have seen what he is capable of first hand and I have helped him many of those times. Once he has labeled somebody as his enemy, he will not stop until they are crippled or worse. I am aware of that fact and I am fully aware of what I am getting myself into. I am prepared to suffer the consequences of my betrayal.
Wyvern stares at Rose and she stares back for a long while and finally he responds.
Wyvern: Rose, would you rather I had just not acted at all?
Rose: Listen, I don’t need a knight in shining armor and I sure as Hell don’t need to be in your debt.
Wyvern: If that’s how you fee------
Rose: However, I am in your debt as of Monday night and rest assured that I will repay that debt when the time comes. Just be sure to stay out of my way until then and especially stay out of Ridley’s way. This is none of your business. I can’t be responsible for you in addition to myself. Just concentrate on your match tonight and on some title or something. Just stay out of our way, hope Ridley forgets about you and you will do fine.
Wyvern: Very well, if you say so Rose. Just know that if you need help for any reason whatsoever down the road, I'm here.
Rose turns and opens the door to the locker room, but she does not cease speaking as she leaves.
Rose: I’ll remember that, but I don’t need anybody’s help anymore.
She shuts the door behind her and by doing so, does she shun her only ally?
Fade out.

Segment: Rena’s Round – Robin (Credit: Rena)
In the arena, The crowd grows quite silent as the show continues; the silence is broken by Rena’s entrance music. The loud boom from the speakers amuses the crowd and they begin to scream. Rena appears from the ramp, and blows a kiss towards the crowd, as she shows off her new title. She is proud to be a winner, and she deserves it, in her mind at least. As she enters the ring, she grabs a microphone and turns it on. Her music stops and the crowd begins to listen to her.
Rena: You know, I feel really proud to be the ACW Diva Champion. It felt nice to beat that Bitch Carma and Kiley. Even though I didn’t pin Kiley, I knew she would’ve gone down, just like she does for the boss.
She lets out a quick laugh, then stifles it.
Rena: Anyways, I’m sorry your Champion hasn’t been around lately, I have been terribly busy working on things for your enjoyment, and I have also been recovering from my injury I sustained through that horrible match where I miraculously came out on top. I-
Carma’s music slams into Rena’s talk and Carma appears, laughing hard.
Carma: Well it seems, Rena... that you always happen to be on-top of everyone...I mean...everything.
She laughs, and continues.
Carma: Don’t think that just because you beat me once, doesn’t mean you can do it every time we face each other. I want another match to prove that to you myself.
Rena: I don’t think so...I think there are other divas that deserve the title more than you. At least they don’t get beaten as much as you.
She smiles, and laughs a bit, then looks at Carma.
Rena: Fine. I will give you another chance... Next week I will begin a small round-robin. Next week, you will face one diva. The week after that, 2 divas will face each other. The winners of each week will face each other in a match of my choice. The winner of that match will face me for the Diva’s Title. So good-luck next week.
Carma: Fine. I can’t wait to beat your ass down.
Carma leaves, and the camera focuses on Rena, then goes to a commercial.

Segment: Greed (Credit: FSX)
The scene fades in from a commercial break with a loud reaction from the arena as many fans cheer and shout, seeing themselves on TV. The camera then moves backstage to the Senatorial locker room with everyone to be found around the room in their usual places except for Fallensouls and Hunter who are noticeably absent.
Will : And that's why I shaved my head...
Kevin : Wow...
Senator:... ...Incredible story...
Anthony : ..... ...I've never been so touched by a man's hair drama before...
Will nods a bit as Anthony pats Kevin's back as he appears to be bawling into his shoulder. Sounds of confusion are heard from the crowd before it's even noticed there's a cameraman in the room.
Senator:... ...yes...so anyway, Where are Fallen and Hunter? They both have big matches tonight.
Kevin : I'm pretty sure Hunter might still be keeping to himself...he'll show up somewhere.
Anthony : Probably, he wouldn't just miss a chance to win us the world title!
Anthony decides to keep the rest of Hunter’s current problems to himself.
Senator : And you must admit that him achieving this would do us all good, a battle of myself against Hunter for the World Title at Omega Effect would be good for the Senatorial Stable and allow us to bring ourselves to the cutting edge...
Some cheers are heard and everyone in the locker room seems to be agreeing, Will continues to watch for either of them before coming back shrugging.
Will : Maybe they both no-showed....I guess that would be alright for Hunter but not normal for Fallen.
Anthony: Don't you guys usually come here together anyway?
Will: We usually do but I haven't seen him since Monday..
Kevin: Maybe he --
Before Kevin can finish Fallen makes his way into the locker room to a mixed reaction, he looks around at everyone staring at him somewhat confused before sitting back on a couch.
FSX: ..I miss something?
Will : Well…you just…have a match tonight, and no one's seen you since Monday...and you’re kinda late..
FSX: So I hit traffic, it happens...I showed up. It's not that I have to be here to see Hunter win the world title, well I at least don't have to be here so early.
Senator: Didn't you already hear about it? You’re defending your title tonight too...and soon.
Fallen looks a bit taken back by this, before smiling and looking down at his belt.
FSX: So what…TNT wants to lose to me again? Or is it the Rook?
Anthony looks over to Kevin uneasily before motioning to him to leave the locker room, almost sure he's about to be reminded about being violated by Spanish people. Fallen watches them leave still confused as Senator sighs and Will turns away.
FSX: Well?...come on...who is it?
Senator : You’re fighting Daredevil...
FSX: WHAT???
Fallen gets up looking as if about to rush at Senator, instead walking back and forth uneasily.
FSX: That bastard?? What did he do to deserve a match with me?
Will: A title match...
FSX: Yes, yes…we've been over that... He just won the lightweight title though!...He doesn't need a title match...I shouldn't be defending against him...
Senator : Fallen, Calm down...you can take him.
Fallen sighs and looks down at his belt, still visibly angry.
FSX: I know I can beat him but he doesn't deserve to get in the ring with me...look at the matches I've just had to deal with and now I have to fight him..? It's just...greedy. He's greedy. Why do I have to fight him if he just wants to be covered in gold...I worked my ass off for two months to win this belt!!
Will : Yeah...but if he's just greedy then he'll just overlook you. Beat him, prove you worked your ass off then, and prove that you deserve the title.
The crowd cheers loudly, Fallen still seems to be irritated but nods at the both of them before walking out of the locker room, Kalb and Kevin soon make their way back in carefully and the scene slowly fades to black.

Match 2: JonnyG vs. Wyvern (Credit: Rose)
The second match is imminent, and Philip’s back to handle the formalities.
Philip: This is a singles match, set for one fall. Introducing first, from Tacoma Washington, the leader of the New Breed – Wyvern!
”Trip Like I do” heralds Wyvern’s arrival on the stage; he walks down the ramp showing only very slight discomfort, though his injury may well be more of a problem during the match itself. He steps through the ropes and takes a moment to acknowledge the cheering throngs before warming up.
There’s a short delay before “In the End” starts up, and this is explained as a part of the side paneling for the set slides aside to allow Jonny and Gooey to make their “grand” entrance. They’re in the car seen earlier, and Jonny’s contact has given the vehicle a makeover so that it now sports a large “G - Mobile” motif on both sides. The fans aren’t totally won over by the new wheels, and their booing is strong as Jonny gets out of the car and holds up his tag belt.
Philip: And his opponent, from Toronto Ontario…..One half of the tag team champions, Jonny G!
Jonny rubs a small spot off of the car’s windshield before entering the ring; the ref looks at the car and at Gooey, and to Jonny’s consternation decides to order them to the back. Both members of G Unit protest but the ref won’t be moved, so Gooey backs the car up, giving Jonny a quick thumbs up as he goes. Once he’s out of sight the referee checks both competitors over, and then calls for the bell.
Bell Rings.
Jonny and Wyvern circle each other and both men are looking to gain a strong advantage. Wyvern moves a little slower since his war with Ridley on Warfare. Jonny sees weakness and he is more that ready to pounce on his foe’s weakness. The engage in a collar to elbow tie up and Wyvern takes control with a side headlock, but Jonny pushes him into the ropes. Wyvern comes off the ropes and Jonny hits him with a drop kicks and quickly moves into a sleep hold on the ground. Wyvern slowly powers up and reverses it into a fireman’s carry. They both get to their feet and Jonny charges Wyvern but runs into a powerslam for his troubles. Wyvern makes the cover and the referee counts 1……2…., but Jonny manages to kick out rather quickly. He does not rise up quickly, instead he rises up very slowly, but Wyvern is waiting and hits him with a spinning wheel kick to the delight of the crowd. Wyvern goes for his second pin of the match, the Referee counts 1….2, but Jonny kicks out. Wyvern picks Jonny up and punches him 4 times, Jonny is staggering on Dream Street, and Wyvern takes advantage when he hits Jonny with a double under hook DDT. Wyvern covers Jonny again and more aggressively, the Referee counts 1…….2…,but Bones kicks out again. Wyvern decides to try a move he is not very familiar with, but a move that he has used in the past with good results. Wyvern waits for Jonny to get to his feet and he kicks him in the stomach, Jonny bends over and clutches his gut. Wyvern picks Jonny up in the Powerbomb position, Jonny reverses it into a Hurricanrana into the pin, The Referee counts 1……..2………, but Wyvern kicks out in just the nick of time.
Wyvern and Jonny both are convinced victory is near and rise at virtually the same time, but Jonny is the fastest on this occasion and hits Carnage with a running kick to his crotch. Wyvern goes down and he feels all the pain from last week and more pain from this week. The Referee ignores the attack. Jonny now goes for what he hopes will be the final nail in the coffin, he climbs the top rope and waits for Wyvern to stagger to his feet, he measures his distance, and then he jumps off the top rope in a flying clothesline like position, but at the last possible second Wyvern moves out of the way and Jonny hits the mat hard. Wyvern quickly moves over and locks in his high rise sharpshooter on the fallen Jonny. Jonny struggles for a good while, much to his credit, but he finally succumbs to the pain and taps out. The referee calls for the bell as Philip enters the ring.
Bell Rings.
Philip: Here is your------
The lights go out and the crowd screams. A loud crash is heard, but that is all. After a few moments the power comes back on and the crowd is shocked at what they see. Wyvern is lying prone in the ring and he is bleeding very slightly from his head. Jonny is down on the mat with a chair in his hand. He gets to his feet slowly and feigns innocence before quickly heading to the backstage area. The fans boo Jonny and they believe that he attacked Wyvern during the freak blackout, but are they correct in that assumption? Wyvern gets to his feet in time to see Jonny flee and he is not sure what has happened. He goes to the back and begins to search for answers.

Segment: Back to Basics (Credit: BK)
As we come back from the Jonny vs Wyvern match ACW Interviewer, Kevin Anderson is seen backstage in front of none other than the Phenomenal BK London's locker room. Kevin appears to want a word with one of the 30 superstars that will participate in the Fallen Heroes Battle Royale. After knocking on the door a few times there is no answer. Kevin then feels a tap on his shoulder and as he turns around its BK London and the crowd gives him a slight pop.
BK: Kev, umm...Is there some reason you are in front of my locker room door?
Kevin: Actually yes, I am scheduled to have an interview with you right now.
BK: You are? I never knew about any interview, anyways....shoot, what questions do you have for me?
Kevin: Well the first is on--
BK: Lemme guess, You want to know what’s up with TNT interfering in the match on Warfare this Monday, right?
Kevin:.....well yes. I indeed wanted to ask you that, How did you know?
BK: It has been the same question I have been asked everywhere I went since Warfare ended. People ask me, "Are you and TNT back together?", "What's up with you and TNT?", "Is TNT really that cool?" So I am going to answer this question right now, once and for all, in no way, shape, or form did I have anything to do with TNT entering the match on Monday. I mean I could've beaten Hunter by myself without any help, TNT decided to remove himself from the Corporate Alliance and decided to go his separate ways from the group. I have not even talked to TNT since, So this will be the last time I address this question, I am not TNT's keeper, I don't know why he interfered in the match, I just capitalized from his encounter with Hunter.
Kevin: Strong words from you BK, now for my next question...What are your thoughts on the NEW ACW Champion, Yoko Satoshi?
As Kevin says the new question BK begins to close his eyes and something almost shoots through his body, he then takes a breather and prevents himself from any outburst that would normally happen.
BK: What I think of Yoko? What I think of Yoko, wearing my belt? I still think she is one freaky little bitch, that’s what I think about her.
The crowd begins to cheer for Yoko and some even begin laughing.
BK: While I will admit I have lost the World Title, I will not admit that my quest for the ACW Championship is over. I still lust for the title, almost every time I close my eyes I can feel the weight of the title on my shoulders almost as if I hold the entire federation on my shoulders. And I will do anything to get it back, and trust me, it’s only a moment of time before I feel gold around my waist again.
BK opens his eyes again and he sees Kevin still in front of him, almost astonished at the words of BK that almost meet his unparalleled wrestling ability.
Kevin: Which brings me to my next question...Why the Fallen Heroes Battle Royal?
BK: Kevin, that has to be the stupidest question I have heard all day. What do you mean why the Fallen Heroes Battle Royal? Why not the Fallen Heroes Battle Royale? This is the competition that can propel me higher in ACW Status...this gives me a one way trip to accomplish my dreams of becoming World Champion again. Think about all the tags that come after my name, BK London: ACW World Champion, Two Time Double Champion, Two Time Tag Team Champion, Two Time Entertainment Champion, Best Entertainment Champion of 2004, and if I win the Fallen Heroes Battle Royal another Tag will be placed at the end of all the other tags as First Ever ACW Fallen Heroes Battle Royal Winner. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to finish my preparations for my match tonight. It was good talking to you, though.
BK heads into his locker room; Anderson just smiles, secretly very pleased to have caught a glimpse of the “real” BK London who united the crowds in their support for him a few months ago……

Segment: A “helping hand” (Credit: Yoko)
The scene is one of the many locker rooms. Vinnie Dulario is preparing for his upcoming match; understandably, he looks almost dementedly focused and ready to do just about anything to win it. As he’s destroying a punching bag, he's startled by the sight of Elias at the door.
Vinnie: What do you want?
Elias: Mr. Stanton asked me to retrieve you, he wants to talk.
Vinnie: Why should I bother if it wasn't important enough for him to come to me?
Elias grits his teeth as if he were frustrated.
Elias: He wants to talk to you. Just follow me.
Elias turns and begins to walk. Vinnie decides it couldn't do him any harm to see why Mercer Stanton wants him, and follows Elias.
They end up in the parking lot. Vinnie begins to get cautious.
Vinnie: ...Why are we out here in the parking lot?
??: Because I don't have my own office, and this doesn't concern Ginger.
Vinnie turns and sees Stanton.
Vinnie: Ok, so what did you want?
Mercer: I couldn't help but notice you've lost your matches so far. Against girls, too. Not that those girls aren't unusually deadly, but I bet it hurts your pride.
Clearly this is no night to be reminding Vinnie further of his failures; his glare at Stanton is chilling.
Vinnie: So you called me out here to make fun of me? I'll be on my way, unless you'd like something broken.
Mercer: You misunderstand, I was simply stating it in order to give you my proposal. I believe you could use some...Management.
Vinnie: So you want to manage me or something? Why me?
Mercer: You still misunderstand, Vinnie. I have someone in mind to be your manager. Come on out.
A figure begins to step out of the shadows behind Stanton.
Vinnie: ...No. HELL no. Not her, ever. You can forget it.
Fully revealed, the person is Rena.
Mercer: I think it would be a good idea.
Rena: Even if I don’t…….
Stanton shoots Rena a glance, and she becomes quiet.
Vinnie: Screw off, all three of you. There's no way I'm letting her try to help me.
Mercer: Let me put it this way. You NEED to win, and she can help you win. Try her out, see what happens. You might like it. Besides...
He grows more serious.
Mercer: Something bad could happen to your sister. Or nothing at all. It's up to you. Let's just say I know...people. People that you know.
Vinnie: Why you-
Mercer: It's up to you.
Vinnie looks back and forth between Rena, Stanton, and Elias, and ultimately decides he needs to do what Stanton says.
Vinnie: I guess it....couldn't hurt...
Mercer: Good then! When this works out for the best, you'll be thanking me. You both owe me for this.
Rena: Come on Vinnie, let's go. You have a match.
Vinnie glares at Stanton with almost as much venom as he has for Mickey, but then reluctantly goes with Rena.
End Segment.

Match 3: Vinnie Dulario vs. Gooeygarth
Back in the arena, Rena’s assertion is shown to be correct; Philip’s already in the ring and waiting to get things started.
Philip: This is a singles contest, scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, from Saskatchewan, Moosejaw, one half of the ACW Tag Team Champions….Gooeygarth!
”Godzilla” by Yukmouth plays, and Gooey makes his entrance in exactly the same style as his team mate earlier. The fans aren’t any more enthusiastic this time around, but Gooey ignores them; he’s determined to redeem G Unit’s record tonight regardless of what trauma his opponent may be going through.
As Gooey gets into the ring, “And Justice for All” hits, leading the crowd to start booing loudly as Vinnie Dulario enters with Rena at his side.
Philip: And his opponent, from Lansing, MI……Vinnie Dulario!
Vinnie doesn’t remove his piercing glare from Gooey for a single moment once he’s in the arena; he enters the ring and stands, waiting for the bell to ring so that he can get what he must do over with.
There’s a delay, however, as the referee objects to the presence of the extra people and objects at ringside. Jonny tries arguing a bit until the ref threatens to call security complete with a tow – truck; Rena, on the other hand, makes puppy eyes and promises to keep to herself, standing out of reach of the ring in indication of this. The fans, sensing more “intervention”, boo furiously as Jonny and the car have to leave while Rena is allowed to stay; Gooey frowns, but decides that he’ll just have to be extra – alert for any screwjobs. Once everything’s settled down, the referee is finally ready for the match to start, and gives the appropriate signal.
Bell Rings.
Gooey isn’t expecting Vinnie’s first attack to be as vicious as it is; Vinnie’s right up next to him in the blink of an eye and suddenly Gooey’s taking huge shots directly to his head, left and right hooks that show absolutely no mercy in their ferocity. On about the 9th shot Gooey’s knees fail him and he drops to the mat, and Vinnie literally throws himself on top of him, so eager is he to get this win. The ref counts, but at 2 Gooey kicks out; the 3 times tag champion is not at all keen on being shown up by any newcomer, and he pulls himself together so that on the second wave he’s able to block many of Vinnie’s shots. Gooey then starts adding some blows of his own and Vinnie’s still so fired up that he neglects to block them properly – always a risky strategy with a powerful fighter such as his opponent. Gooey waits until an opportunity presents itself, then WHAM – a mighty shot to the temple makes Vinnie’s head spin. Now fully into his groove, Gooey works over Vinnie, choosing his left arm and wrenching it repeatedly against his shoulder. Still holding the arm, Gooey hurls Vinnie into a corner and executes his stinger splash – a move which when done by a man of Gooey’s stature is rather effective. Vinnie gets the air taken out of him, and Gooey pulls him back to the ring where he attempts to powerbomb him though the canvas. Gooey doesn’t manage to destroy the ring but still feels confident enough to make a pin on Vinnie; 1,2 – Vinnie kicks with such force that Gooey is thrown a couple of feet up in the air before he lands on the mat. Rena claps and shouts encouragement from the outside, and Vinnie glares a hole into Gooey’s skull as they stand up and face off once more.
Gooey doesn’t take lightly to any form of intimidation; he storms forward in spite of the look Vinnie’s giving him, and evades Vinnie’s punch before delivering a swift back drop. Vinnie looks to be in a bit of pain as he gets up, and Rena decides it’s time to act; she hops up on to the turnbuckle and shouts to distract the referee. Vinnie picks up the cue and starts hitting Gooey with some closed – hand punches; it doesn’t all go his way however, as Gooey’s well aware of what’s going on and retaliates with a blatant low blow which draws boos from the crowd. The referee gets tired of Rena’s attempts to keep his attention on her, and turns back to see Gooey making a pin – Rena’s face turns pale as the count goes ahead, 1,2,thr – Vinnie kicks out on sheer willpower, and there’s actually a pop from the crowd. Now, Vinnie’s really angry, and he lets Gooey know all about it – he’s the first to rise, and batters Gooey back to the ropes before switching to his trademark knife chops. Gooey defends himself until Vinnie uses a DDT to bring him to the mat; he gets Gooey into an STF, screaming at him to tap, but in his hurry he’s executed the hold rather too close to the ropes and Gooey gets a hand to one of them. Vinnie has to break the hold, but he won’t give up on the tactic and pulls Gooey to the centre of the ring before going for his rear choke hold. Gooey isn’t fooled a second time, however; he twists himself free before the move locks and the crowd starts yelling as Gooey nails a diamond cutter. Vinnie’s in trouble as he gets up, and Gooey kicks him hard in the gut as he starts to perform his Opium Krush. As he runs to the ropes for the rebound, however, Rena acts at just the right moment and trips him before moving away as quickly as she can. Vinnie hears the smack as Gooey hits the canvas, and he pulls him to the centre as he gets up. Taking a quick but deep breath Vinnie nails Gooey with the “Dead Enough” – an impaler DDT. He makes the pin, barely daring to breathe again…until the referee’s hand hits for 3.
Philip: Here is your winner……Vinnie Dulario!
The fans’ reaction is unclear as Vinnie gets up; most boo him, but a few cheer and all are quietly relieved that Vinnie got the win. Rena enters the ring and holds up Vinnie’s arm; Vinnie isn’t exactly thrilled, but he stays silent, knowing that she played her part in his victory. For her part, Rena acts the loyal valet with consummate skill, but she’s certainly no more comfortable with Stanton’s “arrangements” that Vinnie is.
But can Vinnie continue this trend against tougher opponents? And what will happen if he fails? The answers are far from clear as the show takes a break.

Segment: Back to your roots (Credit: Yoko)
The shot changes to a very familiar backstage corridor. As Yoko Satoshi enters the Demon Pit, she finds it completely deserted. She enters her room and Mr. Floppy springs to life.
Mr. Floppy: You left me here for three days.
Yoko: I'm sorry! I got side tracked. Where is everyone, though?
Mr. Floppy: I don't know if I should tell you.
Mr. Floppy falls back over, lifeless.
Yoko: Oh come on, I said I was sorry. I made a new friend!
He pops back up.
Mr. Floppy: A new friend?
Yoko: The girl from Monday. Jade. She's wonderful. I think I can trust her too.
Mr. Floppy: That's good.
Yoko: So what happened? Where's everyone?
Mr. Floppy: I didn't hear anything, but they all left around the same time. I believe they're gone for good, especially after what's been happening.
Yoko: ...Gone?
Mr. Floppy: Yeah.
Yoko begins walking around the room, and placing her scattered possessions into the bag she had brought them to the Demon Pit with in the first place.
Mr. Floppy: What are you doing?
Yoko: If Pain Inc is dead, I don't want to stay here anymore. We're moving back to my old locker room.
She picks up Mr. Floppy and quickly exits the Demon Pit without looking back. She makes the short journey out of the darkness and around the corner, and opens the door to her original locker room. The lights are off, but she can see a man sleeping on the futon.
Yoko: ...Orochi?
She turns the light on. She sees the man is very fat. He suddenly wakes up and grabs at what looks like a belt with a tin plate nailed to it.
Yoko: ...Beau James? What are you doing in here?
Beau: They didn't give me a locker room, you'd think the SSW world heavyweight champion could get his own room!
Yoko: El Froggy Mask has a pretty spacious closet, you could room with him.
Beau: Thank you for the suggestion darlin', I'll check it out.
He takes his leave from the locker room, which still looks pretty much the same. Extinguished Japanese lanterns, a single table, and chains hanging from the ceiling. Yoko sets her bag down along with Mr. Floppy.
Yoko: I'll unpack later, I need to attend to some things.
She leaves the room.
