Segment: SOLDIAHS UP IN HEA (Credit: Ridley)
Closing the door behind him, Ridley steps in front of Ginger's desk. He folds his arms and raises an eyebrow. The chairman gets the question before he has to hear it, fortunately, and starts rummaging through the schedule.
Ginger: Uh, yeah...sorry Mercer couldn't see you right now.
Ridley: It's all right. I'm told he's having to deal with, uh, some personal incidents that happened earlier this week.
Ginger: Yeah, terrible, isn't it?
Ridley smirks.
Ridley: Absolutely abysmal.
Holding up a sheet of paper, Ginger quickly reads through the evening lineup.
Ginger: Ah, here we go. Your opponent is supposedly somebody you'll be familiar with, local talent and all...well...*looks up*...wow...well, he's standing right behind you, actually.
The camera pulls back as Ridley turns, and comes face to face with a man in an elaborate blue mask. White diamonds encircle his eyes, contrasting with the bright blue of his mask and baggy tights. There's a pause as Ridley and the newcomer stare at each other, and then Ridley turns around.
Ridley: ................what?
Ginger: Hey, I didn't choose him.
Ridley: I will be DAMNED if I'm looking at motherfucking Dragon Soldier in an ACW match.
The chairman spreads his arms in an apologetic gesture, trying frantically to get Ridley to comply with the choice of opponents.
Ginger: Look, the audience know him, and it'll get a better reaction than most of the ACW talent when he and Nakanishi show up to---
Ridley: Wait, wait, wait, I have to face Kendo Ka Shin AND Manabu Nakanishi?
Ginger: Kind of. Nakanishi's only there as a publicity sort of thing, accompanying Mr. Ka Shin here to ringside...
With an exasperated glare, Ridley places both hands on the desk and leans forward, close enough that there's no way Ginger can mistake what he's saying.
Ridley: Do you understand what you're doing by putting Black New Japan in the ACW?
Ginger: Uh...well...
Ridley: The Control Terrorism Unit or the R&OD would be one thing...but Black New Japan's a cancer, and an insidious one. Mark my words, once they get it, they will NOT get out unless they're forced out.
Ginger: .......It looks like you'll get your chance tonight to force them out, then.
The One Man Holocaust stands back, turns, and heads to the door, giving Ka Shin a last, withering glare. He briefly turns his head before exiting to offer some last words.
Ridley: Believe me, "Chairman". I will. And let me assure you that you and Stanton aren't the only one who can get local help around here.
With that, he's gone.
End segment.

Davey Marvel vs. Cernunnos (Credit: Latino[Credit to fixing every Cernunnos typo: Yoko])
Phillip: This next match is scheduled for one fall. Coming to the ring the ACW Entertainment Champion…..Davey…Marvel!
"Tougher than Leather" Run DMC starts up as Davey comes out from the back. Around his waist is the glimmering ACW Entertainment championship. The fans are cheering for him as he makes his way down to the ring. He jumps onto the apron and enters stepping through the middle ropes. He takes off his red hooded sweatshirt and climbs the turnbuckle as the fans keep cheering louder and louder.
Phillip: And his opponent from parts unknown the ACW Junior Champion…..Cernunnos!
“Imperial March” by John Williams starts playing throughout the arena. The Junior Title is dragged down to the ring as Cernunnos towers above everyone. He walks down to the ring in a slow methodical manner. He steps up onto the apron and enters the ring stepping over the top rope.
* The Bell Rings *
The match quickly starts as Davey and Cernunnos start punching one another back and forth. Both large men and neither show signs of slowing down. As Davey gets hit with a punch he lunges back but returns full force with a punch. Cernunnos performs similar actions as he is struck in the face by Davey. Cernunnos takes a final punch to the face and as a result spins around. Upon facing towards Davey kicks the Junior champ in the gut and without hesitation DDT’s him deep into the mat. Cernunnos stumbles backwards holding himself in pain. The fans roar in approval as Davey runs across the ring and as he comes back towards his opponent he goes for a clothesline. Cernunnos kicks Davey in the stomach knocking him down on his back. Cernunnos runs over and jumps up in the air. He comes down hard with a big elbow drop. He lifts Davey up grabbing onto his hair and picks up. He lifts him up and with a devilish smile, causing the fans to boo, he expertly performs a sidewalk slam. He goes for the cover but Davey kicks out before the ref can start the count. Davey rolls to the apron trying to catch his breath. Cernunnos kicks him over and to the outside.
Cernunnos jumps from the apron and stands over Davey whom is just getting up. He starts punching up at the large champion as the fans start cheering him on more and more. Davey is now up as he leans back returns with a big clothesline. Cernunnos doesn’t fall but takes a few steps back. Davey repeats the move trying to take the big man down. Cernunnos is now standing around in a daze and Davey wraps his arms around Cernunnos. He tries to lift him up for a belly-to-belly suplex but Cernunnos stays in the same spot. The two look eye-to-eye as Cernunnos breaks free. He pushes Davey a few feet back and immediately starts running at him. He jumps performing the Running diving lariat. Both men are laid out but Cernunnos sits back up and throws Davey back inside the ring. He hooks the leg for the cover once more and the ref slaps his hand down. One…Two…- kickout by Davey. Cernunnos now picks up Davey once more. He lifts him up high and with same devilish look. Cernunnos jumps up but in mid-air Davey escapes the hold and lands on his feet. Cernunnos falls on the mat surprised that Davey escaped. He looks around and then sees Davey’s feet coming closer until they connect with his face. Davey rolls on the mat and gets back up quickly. He runs up the turnbuckle and jumps back off with The Marvel. Just Cernunnos sits back up Marvel’s legs connect taking him out. Davey goes for the pin One….Two….Three! Phillip: Here is your winner….Davey Marvel!
Davey takes his belt and retreats to the back after a well fought match, as does Cernunnos.

Segment: Crazy Family Shit's Going On (Credit: RDK for segment, Yoko for title) As we come back from commercials we see a very different scene. It is not within or even near the ACW arena. However we see one thing familiar, and it is one of ACW's own superstars, Macho Man RDK. He is however not looking like his happy self. He is dressed in a black tuxedo and has an umbrella over him. He looks at the grave and then kneels down. He continues to look at it and when the camera finally gets the chance, it shows the viewers what the tombstone reads...In Memory Of
Malissa Kanyon
September 17th, 1916 - May 12th, 2000
Loving and carring aunt and wife to Randy and Greg Kanyon, who despite his dissappearance, will always be loved by his wife, through mind, body or soul... The rain begins to stop as the last lightning strike takes place. Randy gets up to his feet before throwing a bouquet of flowers at the grave. He whispers to himself and to the tombstone most likely some regards before turning around to leave. However it is quite dark outside, and Randy does not have a good idea of his surroundings. About a few steps into his way back to his limo, he is stopped by a somewhat and very solid force. He looks up at it, and it is none other then Julien Kanyon. Randy backs away and, not wanting any trouble, goes the other way, however he is blocked by Valmont. Randy looks both ways. Randy: Father...why...why do you continue to do these things? Valmont: Randy...-Or should I say say faliure? You have brought this upon yourself. You refused to work for your family and contribute at such a young age and suffered for it. However we were nice enough to let you stay with us. When we are down on our luck and unemployed, we ask you once again for help. Your brother once again steps up to the plate. You however, disobey. Rain begins to fall rapidly as it once did and thunder can be heard. Julien advances. Julien: Randy, we were given life by Helen and father. And in return, we would serve them. That was our purpose Randy, that was- Randy: NO! CAN'T YOU SEE BRUDAH? HE HAS BEEN USING YOU! Julien: But of course Randy, that is my purpose. And it should have been your purpose too, however you decided to stray from your path and deny destiny... Randy: Brudah, you, you were never like this before. You and me, we used to see eye to eye on SOME things. You are not the man who once believed that child labor was unecessary. You are a drone! Valmont: Randy you fool! Julien had merely come to his senses, realizing that fighting your father and disobeying him was not exactly the polite thing to do when he brought you to this earth! It is because of ME that your both around! Julien: Indeed father. The rain is falling hard now, thunder and lightning working together to create a quite cinematic and climatic effect to the situation at hand.Randy: ...Julien, remember those times, you would save me from father's beatings? Julien: No I- Randy: Remember when you would give me food even though it was forbidden? Julien: ....Th- Randy: REMEMBER how you would take the time to teach me what you learnt when mom and dad would not pay for me to go to school? Julien: .... Randy: REMEMBER EVERY NIGHT WHEN YOU WOULD TUCK ME INTO BED, AND WE WOULD TELL EACHOTHER THE SAME THINGS: "This will turn out for the better?" Valmont: Julien, Dont- Randy: SHOVE THAT FUCKING FOWL TONGUE OF YOURS UP YOUR DEAD FUCKING WIVE'S PELVIS! I RENOUNCE EVER BEING KNOWN AS YOUR SON, YOU JABRONI ASS MUNCHING FAGGOT! YOU WERE THE POOREST EXCUSE FOR A FATHER WHO GOT SHITS AND GIGGLES OUT OF PLAYING FAVORITES WITH YOUR SONS! Valmont: .... Julien: .... Randy: AND WHEN YOUR SONS TRIED TO STICK TOGETHER, YOU WOULD PULL THEM APART, EVENTUALLY BRAINWASHING YOUR OLDEST AND GETTING RID OF YOUR HATED! I DID NOT FUCKING WORK FOR YOU BECAUSE OF MY DISBELIEF IN CHILD LABOR, DESPITE MY KNOWLEDGE AND AGE AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT YOU HIT ME OVER THE BACK AND BACKSIDE WITH A FUCKING BELT 24/7!!!!!!!!! I- Valmont: THATS ENOUGH! And with that, Valmont is about to hit Randy over the head with a cane however Randy ducks this and then hits Valmont over the back with his umbrella, Valmont collapses to the ground, holding his back in pain. He calls to Julien...Valmont: HELP ME. Randy drags Valmont, tossing him across the graveyard. Julien watches on, dazed and in a trance.Valmont: ...SON!!!!!!!!! Valmont's yelling is drowned out with dirt as Randy shoves his face into the ground. However Valmont makes a last ditch effort to call his oldest before having his head submitted into the ground once and for all...Valmont: HELP ME YOU FUCKING RETARD!!!!!!!!!! Julien's trance is broken and he looks over at the two battling it out in the grave yard. Julien's first reaction is to immediatly go and help Valmont, however once he gets there, he stops, and Randy stops. The two eye eachother. A long stare is shown as the camera zooms out a little to show both men staring into eachother's eyes. This is the money shot. Time freezes for a few seconds...but this is broken as Valmont emerges, grabbing RDK by the hair and smashing his face into his own's aunt's tombstone. Valmont barely gets up as Julien just stands there, his eyes glazed.Valmont: Heh....you little bugger, now time for some retribution. And with that, Valmont unzips his trousers and then immediatly creates a yellowish liquified source that comes from an obvious organ. This sprays all across the grave and as the camera closes in, Valmont has written, in piss (Disgusting, we know) the letters "F-A-L-I-U-R-E". Of course a man of that age would have plenty of piss to dispose of. However disgusted the crowd is, they are still silent as Valmont finds his cane and forces Julien to come back with him, still in a trance, looking back at his brother, who is knocked out....

Match: BK London vs Darius Silver (Credit: Rose)
Philip: Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York, please welcome BK London.
Public Service Announcement hits and BK comes out with his lovely wife Kiley at his side. He has a replica of the World Title Belt around his waste and the fans boo him loudly. He ignores their jeers and positions himself in the ring.
Philip: And next, from Tampa, Florida, please welcome Darius Silver
Trying to find a Balance hits and Darius comes out from the back to the boos of the crowd. He walks to the ring with a businessman’s attitude, but he does not overestimate his opponent. He steps in the ring and takes his corner. The Referee quickly calls for the bell
Bell Rings
Neither man is particularly loved by the ACW crowd and as such no man has a particularly large following. This is Okinawa and BK is the more hated of the two, especially for his treatment of Yoko Satoshi in the past. So neither man expects to get a large reaction from the fans. The two men engage in a collar and elbow tie up and the ring tactician Darius quickly moves behind BK and locks in a simple sleeper in an attempt to drain his energy. This doesn’t last too long, as BK reverses it into a chin breaker that gets a substantial boo from the crowd. Both men scramble to their feet at the same time and Darius runs straight into an inverted Atomic Drop. Darius does not fall, but instead, he staggers backwards stunned by BK’s offense. BK hits a European uppercut which causes fall down to a sitting position on the mat, but he is not there for long as BK hits him with a stiff dropkick. This match is currently going heavily in BK’s favor and his wife Kiley cheers him on from ringside. He waits for Darius to stagger back up to a vertical base and then attempts to hit Darius with a basic vertical suplex, but Darius slips out and hits him with a back suplex in return. Darius make a quick pin and The Referee counts 1…..2…., but Kiley puts his foot on the ropes, unbeknownst to The Referee. Many people silently wonder how come BK couldn’t kick out of a back suplex by himself, but they chalk it up to pro wrestling logic. BK begins to stagger to his feet, but he does not notice that Darius is behind him and he is pearl harbored by a chop block to his right leg. Darius begins to work on the fallen BK’s leg by stomping it ant then forcefully slamming it into the mat. BK tries to struggle to his feet, but everytime he does, Darius takes his leg out from under him. Finally, Darius locks in a near perfect version of the single leg Boston Crab. He wrenches at BK’s leg with a furious intensity and this causes great pain to BK who cannot reach the ropes. This lasts forever, but in real time only a minute or so and it appears as if BK cannot escape the hold. Finally, as The Referee’s head is turned, Kiley pushes the ropes towards BK and he is able to grab it thanks to her help. Darius is forced to release the hold and he is ready to finish BK off. He waits patiently, like a predator, for BK to limp to his feet. After a few seconds, BK finally makes it to his feet and he is picked up by Darius. Darius wastes no time in running forward and dropping BK in with a running powerslam. Darius makes the pin and The Referee counts 1…..2…., but BK somehow manages to get his shoulder up. Darius is frustrated, but he is also able to control his anger. Darius immediately picks BK up and drops him rip first on his knee and makes a pin yet again, The Referee counts 1……2…., but BK gets his foot under to ropes. Darius is livid at BK’s refusal to be defeated and is hell bent on finishing the match with his next move. He positions BK in the classic piledriver/powerbomb position and lifts him into the air, but suddenly BK reverses it into an odd variation of the small package. The Referee counts 1…….2…(Kiley grabs one of BK’s hands and holds it, thereby giving him leverage)….3.
The Bell Rings
Philip: Here is you winner by pinfall, BK London
Kiley tosses BK his belt and then they book it out of the ring. Darius makes an attempt to grab them, but they escape the ring just in time and begin to sprint towards the backstage area. Darius stares towards them as they make their escape. He silently thinks that he has bigger fish to fry

Match: Predators vs G-Unit, Tag Team Championship (Credit: AK for match, Iceman/Blaze for very beginning)
Coldfire is backstage watching the monitors waiting for the G-Unit the Tag Team Champs and the Predators there opponents to enter the ring, to see what there up against. Ready to watch the opponent’s every move and scout out there every weakness. Ready to find there every flaw and capitalize on it Monday where they will show the world just what Coldfire has to offer.
The crowd is chattering excitedly as they see Philip return to the ring to announce the next contest; there is intense speculation as to whether the constantly improving Predators have the momentum to dislodge the phenomenon of G Unit from the tag gold. All is about to be revealed……
Philip: This is a tag team match, set for one fall, and it is for the ACW Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the Challengers…….from Winnipeg, Predator and Wolf, known together as the Predators!
”Stay Together for the Kids” hits, and Predator and Wolf come out shoulder to shoulder. They flip off the crowd drawing heat, but there’s a few cheers in there as well; the crowd is evidently withholding judgement on whom it will lend its full support to, for now.
As Predator and Wolf finish circling the ring, “Defy You” hits and there’s a surge of sound as one of ACW’s most famous and successful double acts takes the stage.
Philip: And their opponents, they are the current ACW Tag Team Champions…..from Toronto, Ontario and Saskatchewan, Moosejaw…….JonnyG and Gooeygarth, otherwise known as G Unit!
G Unit walk down the ramp focused purely on the Predators; their loss on Fallout was a shock and a sharp wakeup call, and it looks like they’re going to bring their A game tonight. The air crackles with tension, and the ref’s in no mood to let things overheat; as soon as everyone’s in the ring he calls for the starters to take their positions. JonnyG steps forward for G Unit, and Wolf opts to begin for the Predators, leaving Predator himself to observe and be ready to act should opportunity present itself.
The fans still haven’t decided which way to pledge their support, so there’s simply a loud general pop as the ref gives the nod to the outside, and the match begins.
Bell Rings.
Jonny and Wolf both cut imposing figures as they close the distance between them, and there’s an audible crunch as they lock together and push hard, each trying to prove his superiority over the other via brute strength. Wolf gets better drive and starts to push Jonny back, at which point Jonny opts to break and whip Wolf into the ropes. Wolf hits them and rebounds; his size and strength gives him a great deal of power, and when Jonny tries to tough the impact out he finds himself knocked down to the canvas. Wolf immediately starts putting the boots to Jonny, attempting to strike him in the limbs or soft abdomen, and Jonny has to pull himself up as fast as he can before any significant damage is done. Wolf shifts smoothly into a stream of punches; Jonny defends, and then takes a chance to slip behind Wolf and deliver a german suplex - but no, they’re close to the ropes and Wolf holds on with his feet so Jonny can’t complete the move. Forced to abandon his plan, Jonny lets Wolf go - and as soon as Wolf’s feet are on the mat he throws Jonny roughly against the ropes, causing Jonny to bounce off right into a big boot. Jonny falls and Wolf pins - Jonny gets a foot to the rope before 2, and rakes Wolf across the eyes. With Wolf stunned, Jonny scrambles to his corner and tags in Gooey; Predator shouts a warning, and Wolf pulls himself to his feet and to the side just in time to avoid getting clotheslined out of the ring. Gooey’s attack misses, and Wolf tries to reverse by lifting Gooey up and over the ropes; Gooey, however, has learnt a lot from his battle royale training, and lands neatly on the outside of the apron. Wolf doesn’t check that Gooey’s fallen, and Predator’s warning comes too late; Gooey grabs Wolf by the head and runs him into a normal corner, bouncing his head off the turnbuckle with vicious force. Wolf is badly dazed, and Gooey climbs up on to the turnbuckle, to launch into a very rare missile dropkick. The sound as he connects and hits the canvas is thunderous and draws a pop, and Wolf kicks out of the subsequent pin just before 3 on pure determination and adrenaline.
Predator is now almost howling for Wolf to tag; Wolf tries to reach him, but Gooey makes a grab and gets a hold of Wolf’s ankle. A struggle ensues and the fans seem to be behind Wolf; their chants motivate him further, and though he tries to restrain him Gooey loses his grip and Wolf makes a diving tag. Predator leaps, literally, into action and blasts across the ring; Gooey has retreated into his own corner but this doesn’t bother the fired - up Predator at all, and with the gleam of gold in his eye he hammers Gooey thoroughly, and even lays down a socking blow on Jonny, knocking him off of the turnbuckle. Gooey does his best to fight back, and gradually forces his way clear of the corner...only for Predator to spring his trap, and slip behind Gooey to dropkick him in the back. Gooey ends up sprawled on his front in the middle of the ring, and the fans roar as Predator locks in the Predator crossface! The ref gets down on hands and knees close to the action, watching for a tap out…..Gooey hangs on, but he is too far away to get to the ropes. His eyes start to glaze, and it looks like Predator could win this via fatigue if not via submission - but suddenly Predator finds himself dragged away, by Jonny from the outside! The ref is suspicious, but this is the least of his worries - as Jonny attacks Predator on the outside, Wolf rushes in and all hell breaks loose. Gooey slides out to join in and it’s total chaos; Predator and Wolf manage to double - chokeslam Jonny, but then both are knocked to the hard floor by Gooey from behind. Gooey knows what to do; he gives Jonny a shake to get him moving, and then whips a dizzy Predator right into the ring post with a CLANG. Predator reels back, and Gooey bundles him into the ring, 1…..2…. out of nowhere comes Wolf, to make the save, only to be severely reprimanded by the referee. Wolf loses his cool and argues, but this slip lets Jonny and Gooey combine forces again, and with huge strength they deliver a massive double suplex to Predator. Jonny shoots out of the ring and acts innocent as Wolf is forced to give up, and with the ref now watching for any unauthorised action (too late, of course) Gooey moves to finish the job on Predator - but no! Predator fights back and the crowd goes mental as Predator kicks Gooey in the gut and goes for the Pedigree….only for Gooey to deliver a very sly low blow. As Predator bends over in pain, Gooey lifts him up on to his shoulders as he straightens himself up, and nails the cheese dip; the crowd yells, and both Jonny and Wolf dive into the ring; they collide violently, but in effect cancel each other out, and the ref doesn’t see them until he’s counted the 1,2,3.
Philip: Here are your winners…..and STILL ACW Tag Champions, G Unit!
There is almost uproar in the stadium for the frantic finish; the Predators are massively disappointed at their loss, but this has easily been one of their best performances to date. Could the previously impervious G Unit be showing signs of vulnerability? Only future contests will discover that for sure, and with plenty of up and coming talent in the ranks, things are only going to get harder from now on…..
As the fans applaud the excellent action, the show takes a short commercial break.

Segment: I'm Not Naming This Segment Anything Witty Because You Stuck Me With An MMA Match (Credit: Blade for segment, Yoko for title) The scene opens in a pre recorded segment of when the wrestlers had just come to Okinawa. It shows Blade driving on an empty narrow road in normal street cloths, which is a rarity. A closer look reveals that he is on a cell phone while driving, apparently talking to his wife
Blade: Hey Honey, how is your grandfather doing?
Rei: Gramps is good.
Blade: That’s Great, Listen I promise I wont take too long here.
Rei: Are you sure you want to do this alone?
Blade: Yes I am positive.
Rei: But Shade…..if what you heard is true then…<br> Blade: I know, and that’s why I have to do this alone.
Rei: But what if….
Blade: Listen, don’t worry about it, have fun visiting your grandfather, and tell him I said Hi, and I promise to be there by dinner tonight.
Rei: OK…….I hope everything is all right.
Blade: So do I……..
Rei: I love you, Bye.
Blade: I love you to.
Blade turns off the cell phone and drives a few more minutes, before a look of shock, as though his worst fears have been realized appears on his face. He takes a second to park the car and then gets out of the car. As he does so the camera pans around to reveal a old temple, completely in ruins. There are 2 large pillars, which now appear to be broken in pieces and have fallen over. The ground is black in areas revealing hints of small recent fires. While there are no bodies, it is evident that whatever caused such destruction happened not too long ago. The camera pans back to Blade who looks absolutely devastated.
Blade: My god…….its true…<br> the camera then goes to white and turns the clock back in a flashback to only a few months ago when Blade had returned to after the “shadow” incident. The Temple is now full of life and appears relatively happy. Off to the side you can see a group of young monks, playing some sort of game involving some ribbons, a stick and a wooden hoop. On the other side is a group of older monks and various other martial artist training their Kata’s in sync. In he center is a large flat marble tiled platform, mainly used for their training tournaments and other events they had throughout the year. In front of this platform is an old man, observing the goings on around the area. Blade carries his knapsack over his shoulder and walks up and through the small crowd, gathered to witness the newcomer and to this old man before bowing slightly to him.
Blade: Sensei Higure, I have come to complete my training.
Higure: It has been a long time my old apprentice. I have heard of your past exploits and I am not surprised to see you now. It is good to have you back.
Blade: I must say, it feels good to be back. I have missed this place, it is so very tranquil.
Blade takes the old mans hand and the two step up onto the platform to catch up on old times. At that moment the camera wipes to white again and we see Blade back in the present. He walks the same path as he had in the past, but this time there are no onlookers. Instead blade is only treated to blood stained patches of grass and randomly scattered empty bullet cases, which reveal the true nature to the areas destruction. Blade walks up to the Platform and sees it is in as bad shape as the surrounding area. Most is not all of the marble tiles are completely shatters and the place is littered with dirt and more shell cases.
The scene then shifts to white and back into the past. It shows Blade and his sensei walking along the platform. Blade looks around for a second before stopping near its center.
Blade: If I may ask Sensei, what happened to my old friend?
Higure: You had many friends young one, which do you speak of.
Blade: the only man to ever find way to best me in sparring and one of my best friends, Toshiro Umezawa. I expected him to have become one of your best teachers following our training.
Higure: I…….am sorry, I though you would have heard.
Blade: Heard what?
Higure: After we chose you to go through the trial of the twin Katana’s over him, he became very distraught. We tried to console him and explained to him how you were chosen because you will willing to admit and work to control the evil in your heart, while he could not, but he would simply not listen. Shortly after he left.
Blade: I’m sorry, I had no idea.
Higure: We were all sadden by this outcome. I do hope he is able to find piece, as he was a good man. I just hope that he is one day able to admit to seeing the darkness inside of him, before it is able to fully take him over.
Blade: As do I….
the scene that shifts once again to the present. Blade is now on the platform near an area similar to where we just saw him. He looks around the tattered ground for a minute and then he eyes something a bit away. He walks over and picks it up, it is a piece of paper. He unwraps the balled up paper, and reads it. It is in Japanese, but Subtitles are provided for those of us not familiar with the language. It reads “TOSHIRO UMEZAWA, THE MALICIOUS ONE”. Blade reads the message than looks up, his eyes revealing him to be absolutely shattered. He closes his eyes, holding back a tear, and reopens then with fury, as he crumples the paper back up and tosses it.
the scene on final time shifts back to the past. However this is a bit latter than the other times. Now this is as Blade is about to leave. He wears the same White Ninja Armor he had upon his return and has the true BladeSeika strapped to his back. He stands in front of his sensei, apparently about to leave.
Higure: Your training is now complete my young apprentice I have nothing more to teach you.
Blade bows to his Master
Blade: thank you sensei, and I promise you, I will return. And when I do, I will personally hand you the Tsuka (handle) of the sword of Shadow.
Blade’s sensei smiles
Higure: I look forward to it.
Blade Turns around and as he does so, the scene changes back into the present and shows blade as he jumps off the platform. He walks over to a small rock in the distance, and as he approaches it is shown to be a small grave. He kneels in front of it and traces his hands over the Japanese script.
Blade: Higure, The Still Wind…… 1920-2005. A tear falls down Blade’s Cheek. Blade: I promised I would return this to you, sensei.
Blade Digs into his pocket and takes out the part of the BladeShadow sword, the Tsuka, which he had kept, following his incident with Davey. It still has a part of the blade still attached, enough than Blade is able to jab it into the ground and have it stand up, in front of the grave stone.
Blade; and now I give you a new promise. You always told us to admit tot he evil in ourselves, and right now min cry’s for vengeance. It may not be right, but I promise, for you and everyone else who once lived at the formally great temple, that Someday I will see Toshiro again, and when I do, may heaven have mercy on both of our souls….
Blade sighs heavily and sits in deep thought for a moment. He then rises and walk back to his car as the scene fads to black.

Match: Ridley vs Ka Shin (Credit: Ridley)
The next match doesn't exactly have "friendly mat classic involving mutual respect" written all over it. Quite the opposite; from what we saw in the office, it promises to be quite hateful. So it is that, as the static starts, the crowd makes some noise in anticipation of the upcoming action.
Phillip: Introducing first...from Southeastern Birmingham, Alabama...Ridley!
The fans nearly drown out "Puritania" as Ridley takes his time getting to the ring. He's no stranger to the puroresu elite, and briefly plays to the crowd on the apron after he raises the lights, but climbs into the ring immediately afterwards and goes to his corner. It seems he's more focused than usual tonight, perhaps due to the unusual caliber of his opponent.
"Sky Walk" hits...
Phillip: His opponent...accompanied to the ring by Manabu Nakanishi, and representing Black New Japan...from Aomori, Japan, Kendo Ka Shin!!!
There's a certain undercurrent of booing as Ka Shin prances his way to the ring and flips over the ropes, but the Japanese audience, as always, is respectful of everybody involved and shows their appreciation for both men. Nakanishi stays on the outside, and oddly enough, seems to be conversing with a hooded, trenchcoat-wearing man in the crowd.
Bell rings.
The two circle each other to get things started off. Kendo Ka Shin almost bounces as he fluidly slides around the ring, but Ridley's having none of his jokes, and pounces at the first opportunity. After a brief tie-up, Ridley catches the wrist and ducks under it, twisting into a side wristlock. A couple seconds pass as he cranks on the arm, and then Ka Shin rolls forward, kips up to his feet, and grabs Ridley, twisting into a wristlock of his own. However, Ridley's not about to be outdone, and he grabs the ropes with his free hand, then does a standing backflip using the top rope for assistance (taking off the wristlock's pressure), then jerks the arm around into ANOTHER wristlock, pulling his opponent in. Ka Shin charges into the lock and eats an armdrag; as both men leap to their feet, they charge again, and this time it's Ridley who gets the armdrag. They leap up and charge again, and both men try for a simultaneous armdrag, landing on their backs. The two kip up at the same time and find themselves at a standoff as the fans clap appreciatively.
By a sort of mutual, nonverbal agreement, both men step back rather than continuing and resume the circling. When they lock up again, Ka Shin gets the advantage and twists into a headlock, then spins around Ridley's body before taking him down into a jujigatame. He wrenches back on the arm, and Ridley (who knows how well Ka Shin can apply these) immediately twists around to the side, reaching out a foot for the ropes. He's almost there when Nakanishi, unseen by the referee, pulls the bottom rope back, causing him to come up just short of it. Ridley glares at him, but his attention is quickly returned as Kendo Ka Shin applies more pressure to the armbar. After a second of thought, he rocks back and forth on his hips, then uses the gathered momentum to backroll out of the jujigatame, then grabs Ka Shin's legs (which are still across his chest) and applies a Texas Cloverleaf. Ka Shin crawls for the ropes immediately, and Nakanishi now pushes the bottom rope forward so he can grab it more easily. As the referee orders Ridley to release the hold, he's very, very annoyed with the constant interference.
Bigger problems strike him a second later when Ka Shin leaps up onto his shoulders and rolls him over into another jujigatame. Ridley uses the same defense of rolling backwards, but this time, Ka Shin rolls with him and twists backwards into an inverted jujigatame. The cameras, relatively close to the action, pick up the snarled phrase "fucking armbars" as Ridley thrashes over and grabs the middle rope. Ka Shin releases the hold just long enough for Ridley to get up, then dives forward into a rolling front jujigatame...or NOT, as Ridley's finally had enough and drops his weight to maintain a standing position with Kendo Ka Shin hanging onto one of his arms. With a phenomenal display of strength, he grabs his barred arm with his free one, lifts Ka Shin over his head, and slams him down in a makeshift spinebuster, but the Dragon Soldier's still holding on. Ridley repeats the process, and with a final burst of rage, finally breaks the hold. Ka Shin's left in an awkward sitting position, and Ridley snaps up both of his arms with lightning speed, catching him in the Straightjacket...then doubles him over...twists around...and hits a massive straightjacket powerbomb. He holds it in place for the pin, but doesn't hear the telltale sounds of the ref counting, then looks up...and sure enough, Manabu Nakanishi is on the apron distracting the referee.
By this point, Ridley's had enough. He strides to the ropes, shoves the referee aside, and decks Nakanishi with a discus chop, then hurls him over the top rope into the ring. The one-on-two beatdown (if that makes sense) goes well for a minute, until Kendo Ka Shin gets back to his feet, and from there on, Ridley's pummelled unmercifully. The referee is about to call for the bell when, out from the crowd behind him, a new figure dives into the ring and takes Nakanishi off his feet with a massive lariat. The crowd lets out a roar as they recognize the unmistakably anime-character-like hair of IWGP Triple Crown champ Satoshi Kojima, who lights into Nakanishi with a series of seated punches. With Ridley on his feet and going strike-for-strike with Ka Shin, the odds seem to have been evened, until another pop from the crowd causes him to turn. He sees, too late, that the hooded man in the audience has already jumped the guardrail and is in the ring, causing a brief standoff. The new entry pulls back his hood and throws off the jacket, revealing that Black New Japan's got a third man here...and Ridley's face to face with his mentor. There's a pause at this point, as Ridley and Kojima back themselves up into a corner. Ka Shin, Chono, and Nakanishi have already closed in on them, and it looks like this is the last stand for "Team New Japan", if you will....and then "Trans Magic" hits.

Twenty seconds of chaos ensue as everybody in the ring and the crowd STOPS WHAT THEY'RE DOING, much like the Sandman's ten-minute entrances in ECW, and stares at the ramp, Kojima and Ridley with hope and the BNJ with dread. Everyone's breath is caught in their throats, to see if the Great Muta will actually make his appearance and come down the ramp...and then there's a massive roar as Keiji Mutoh, clad in his AJPW dragon-mask and cape, slides out from under the ring and vaults the ropes to land behind Black New Japan. The grin that the faces give them is enough to get the heels to turn around, just in time for Mutoh to take all three down with a flying bodypress. It's on once again, as the six men brawl on opposite sides of the ring. Phillip starts to make an announcement as Masa Chono plants Kojima with a Yakuza Kick and Ridley presses Ka Shin over his head--
Phillip: Ladies and gentlemen, by decision of the officials, this match is now a six-ma-----
THUD. Kendo Ka Shin flies over the top rope and takes out Phillip, along with part of the announce booth, and those involved have only a few seconds to move before Ridley follows suit by hitting a backflip plancha over the top onto Ka Shin, the announcers, and Phillip. Back in the ring, Nakanishi's fought off Mutoh temporarily, and he dives from the apron to help his partner, landing on Ridley and Ka Shin as they start getting up. The two briefly attack Ridley again as Mutoh rolls to the outside to assist in the fight. Within the squared circle, Masahiro Chono has Kojima in the corner, and works him over with a series of knees and chops before pulling him from the ropes and applying an STF. He shouts to his BNJ posse to finish the NJPW team off quickly and they grab chairs. As Ka Shin goes to take his first shot, though, Mutoh blasts him in the face with a cloud of red mist, distracting Nakanishi just long enough for Ridley to Yakuza Kick him down and roll him into the ring. Ridley wastes no time in pulling his mentor off the IWGP Triple Crown champ, and the two light each other up with chops, forearms, and kicks. Kojima, too, is getting his second wind, and he bounces off the ropes to deliver his huge LARIATOOOOH to Nakanishi, but it's ducked, and Nakanishi goes for the German suplex. The fans go wild, though, as Kojima elbows out of the waistlock and hits the Kojo Cutter, driving the arena into a frenzy. He covers, but Ka Shin (who's just getting back in the ring) and Chono drag Kojima off Nakanishi and hurl him over the ropes. As they turn, Mutoh clotheslines Chono to the outside, falling over with him, and it's down to the original two participants. Ka Shin quickly backs Ridley up into the corner and lifts him to the top rope, obviously going for his super jujigatame, but Ridley forearms his way out of it and slides through Ka Shin's legs, which he then pushes forward, leaving him crotched on the top rope. The Cross Wizard, by this time, has leapt back into the ring, leaving the others to brawl on the outside. As Kendo Ka Shin painfully turns himself around to face the inside of the ring, Ridley assumes a kneeling position, and the crowd roars as Mutoh charges across the ring, leaps off Ridley's shoulders, and obliterates Ka Shin with a massive Shining Wizard. The Dragon Soldier topples forward right into the Muthafuckin' 1-8-7, and Ridley covers one-handed for the 1, 2, 3.
Phillip: The winners of this match...TEAM NEW JAPAN!!!
As Ridley staggers back up to his feet and Kojima climbs back into the ring, the three of them get their hands raised by the referee. The fans are on their feet for the spectacle they've just witnessed, and Ridley shares a handshake with both men before they vacate the ring and head up the ramp in celebration. ACW goes to a commercial shortly afterwards.

Segment: That's My Momma (Credit: Rose/Yoko)
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. --Ecclesiastes 1:18, The Holy Bible
There is a thick humidity that infests the very heart of the Okinawa branch of the ACW arena. It causes most people to scurry around whatever air conditioner or fan that they can find. This heat causes the most basic of human emotions to emerge with a vengeance and tensions in the locker room rise to new heights. People are quick to lash out at one another and there have been quite a few arguments and/or fights between even the common members of the crew. It is a bit different in the locker room of Yoko Satoshi, she is used to the humidity that comes with this time of year and she also enjoys the luxury of a nicely equipped locker room that suits her role as the hometown hero. She is already dressed and she is starting to prepare mentally for her title match later in the evening, but this is all smashed as she hears a knocking at her mock wooden chamber door.
Yoko: Who is it?
An all too familiar voice responds with in a kind tone
??: Oh, just a friend…<br> Yoko quickly opens the door, but she already knows who is behind it. The door swings open with a rushed excitement. Yoko’s eyes open with surprise and just a bit of worry.
Yoko: Rose?
Yoko sees none other that Alexandra “White Rose” Kaesar standing in the doorway with a strangely pleasant expression on her face. She looks to be very upbeat in her first appearance since the Fallen Heros event.
Rose: Hello Yoko, it seems like it’s been forever…<br> Yoko: Hello Rose…….where have you been? Nobody has seen or heard from you in weeks.
Rose: Ah, I’ve just been getting my head on straight, that’s all. I needed some time alone to do a little soul searching.
They both move towards the center of the room and then they sit down in two folding chairs that are conveniently facing one another. They both sit and begin to catch up on lost time.
Yoko: So exactly where have you been?
Rose: Well, I visited my family for the first time in a long time. It was so long ago when I basically disowned them
Yoko: …..
Rose: Well, the only thing I can say is that it didn’t go as bad as I thought it would. My mother spent a good hour berating me about certain uh, choices, I have made in the past few years and my father threatened to disown me in return for all the heartbreak I have caused them. I suppose I deserved to get yelled at, but they have forgiven me now and I am thankful for that. Ah, I have forgotten to ask about your family, how is the Satoshi family doing?
Yoko: Things are patched up between Yuki and I. They're not perfect with my parents, but no one hates me anymore. At least not like they did, and would have, if not for Alicia.
Rose: You would have had a family no matter the outcome of that situation. Either your own, or me.
Yoko: I don't see you that way anymore, Rose. You would have let me go through with that act, and then you just abandoned me.
Rose does look like this statement hurts her a great deal, but she does realize some of the truth in what Yoko has just said
Rose: I probably deserve that, but It's in the past now. Never mind it…. Well, uh, I see that you still have the world championship.
Yoko: Yeah... I'm not sure if I'm still deserving, but I still have it. It's fun being champion, anyway.
Rose: The belt was important to me, too, once. But I realized it was just that, a belt. Maybe you should let it go? All it causes as unnecessary heartbreak
Yoko: Nah. I'll let it go when it's gone, not before. Not like you. I have a duty as world champion to defend it.
Rose is silent for a moment.
Rose: I think it's time you left ACW.
Yoko: ....What?
Rose: You have everything that anybody would desire. You have a family that loves you dearly and that is something that I have not really had in years. You have your youth which is something to be truly cherished, not wasted in this horrendous puppet show called ACW. Just look at yourself Yoko…..
Rose points to a faint scar on Yoko’s cheek that was caused so long ago, just for the sake of “enlightenment”
Rose: That’s what I did you to you and that’s what people like me will do to you in the world. The guilt of what happened that night will never leave me. I have had nightmares about what happened for weeks and weeks now. Only, this time, something is different about the entire scenario. In the nightmare, I am always the victim and you are more terrible that I could have ever been. That was our goal after all, to make you greater than the both of us. Yoko, it’s not too late to rebuild you life, please just relinquish that damn title and leave ACW.
There is a tense silence for a while as Yoko thinks over hear words and it seems as even this cool room is losing the battle with humidity. Rose stares into Yoko’s eyes, almost as if she is trying to see what her decision is before it is made, but to no avail. Rose is eyes glimmer intensely and it is apparent that she is determined to get Yoko to leave ACW.
Yoko: Rose, I am happy in ACW and I am not going to turn out like you or Ridley. Whatever influences you once had don’t control me anymore. I am my own person now and I can live as I see fit. I understand how you feel, but I cannot leave.
Rose’s head hangs down low and her anger can be felt, but she suddenly looks up at Yoko and she responds to her decision in a strange manner
Rose: Yoko, you know things now and they are things that nobody should know, much less somebody at your age. You’ve been……enlightened, no, cursed by Ridley and I. You mind has been warped by our influences and it is my now my duty to save you from sharing my fate. You are young…you can change. I want to save you and most of all I want to find forgiveness.
Yoko: Rose, Its OK, I am fine and I forgive you.
Rose: It’s not your forgiveness I seek. I don’t want nor expect to get your forgiveness. Yoko…. I have done so many thing…….very terrible things. I used to think that there would be no way to atone for my sins…..
Rose trails off and it seems like she is slowly weighing a decision within her mind. Yoko is listening intently at what Rose is saying and the conversation is reaching it’s apex
Rose: …But I have found a way to atone for my sins. I will undo all the damage I have caused, no matter what it takes. I will stop Ridley’s plans and I will make it so that he cannot hurt or corrupt anyone again. Only then will God forgive me and I will finally be redeemed in his eyes. So, Yoko, leave this horrible business and go home to your family. Please….just go home, I only want what is best for you.
Rose pleads into Yoko’s eyes and smiles at Yoko. Rose slowly rises from her chair as she awaits Yoko’s reply. Yoko takes a few minutes to seriously think this over and Rose smiles more, she is sure that she has convinced Yoko
Yoko: Rose…. ..I have to make my own choices in life.
Rose’s expression suddenly darkens and she slaps Yoko open handed across her cheek. Rose speaks in a low voice and it sounds a bit sad
Rose: I didn’t ask you…..
Rose’s voice hardens and all her feelings are shot towards Yoko
Rose: Yoko, I am telling you to get out of here and go home!
Yoko lightly touches the cheek that Rose just slapped. Her face reddens and she silently grits her teeth at Rose. The slap has only served to enrage Yoko, but she does not strike back at her. Yoko slowly rises from her chair and stares Rose straight in the eye
Yoko: No!
Rose does not hesitate upon slapping Yoko again and this one is substantially harder. Rose quietly assures her self that this is for Yoko’s own good. Rose yells at Yoko and her voice is best described as a mix of sadness and anger.
Rose: Yoko, I will do whatever I have to do to get you out of ACW. Don’t make me do what I don’t want to do. Go home and never return.
Yoko: No!
Yoko has finally had enough and she bursts forward in rage. Rose quickly dodges from an oncoming punch from Yoko and knees her hard in the stomach. Yoko lets out an injured gasp and clutches her stomach. Rose wastes no time in flipping Yoko over to her back, thereby knocking the remaining air out of her lungs. Yoko gasps for air on the ground as Rose speaks to her softly.
Rose: I am very sorry that I have angered you Yoko. You have forced my hand against you and that is really your fault. You are too angry now to think clearly, so I suppose I will see you another time. I will give you one last chance to give in and retire peacefully, but after that……. Well, I would then have to force you out of ACW. I don’t want to do that Yoko, but if you leave me with no other choice then you will have forced my hand once again. I don’t want to hurt you again, but I will if I have too.. Please, think of yourself, think of your family, and most importantly, think of me. You will not only be saving your own soul by you retirement, in a small way, you will help save mine. Please, don’t be selfish, this entire ordeal is much larger than you. Until next time Yoko……God bless you.
Yoko(Gasping): I won't leave...
Yoko is slowly getting air to get back into her lungs, but she is still coughing a great deal. Rose then calmly walks out the door and shuts it behind her, leaving Yoko unsure of whether she heard her last defiance, and to get ready for her match and to organize her thoughts.

Segment: Truth Reveals Itself in Insanity (Credit: Jade)
"Camera Man" peeks through a small opening from a sliding screen door as calming music of heavenly, soprano voices from Geisha girls was heard in an Okinawa looking room. Jade is shown wearing a black robe as she slowly glances at a mirror behind her. She combs her long black hair as fans cheer, assuming she is alone in the room. Jade turns around as she picks up her attire for the night and drops her signature "Jaded" shirt on the ground as she looked across the room. Fans are heard in the background as Jade starts to speak.
Jade: "No, I am not going to let her go out there alone . . . especially since we are in my birth town, Okinawa . . . JAPAN! This is a special night for many people, more personally when Vinnie actually has the chance to go against her for that title. Didn't you see what he did to ME in the previous week?! Look . . . okay, I know she's the ACW World Champion and I know she's strong but . . . I just can't let her go out there with a jackass like him! He is going to pull a damn cheap shot at her and I am not the chick to let some shit like that go down . . . don't stare at me like that, and what . . . what the hell do you mean . . ."
Jade's hand start to tense up as she let's out a moan of pain and anger as she slams her hand to the wall, as if she had a migraine. Fans start to scream in fury as they watch their Asian Sensation in pain. Jade's eyes shot an irritated glare as she stared at the floor.
Jade: “. . . you! YOU KEEP ON SAYING THIS AND IT'S NOT TRUE! Aaaagh, fuck . . . you . . . GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
Jade screams as the calming music of Geishas filled the room a little louder. Fans are no longer heard as Jade runs her hands through her long black hair, over her ears as she falls to the ground on her knees. Jade starts to feel the blood from her nose come out as she slightly smear away the dark red blood. Jade pinches her eyes shut to calm herself down as a tear slowly falls upon the blood running down her cheek, mixing to make a more liquid substance. Jade opens her eyes as she stares at the ground with a lifeless look in her eyes.
Jade: "STOP IT! STOP . . . y-you-your HURTING ME!"
Jade breathes heavily as she let's out another rage of screams and a dark voice, that appears to be the same male voice in her dream, is heard. The calming music of soprano Geishas start to go into a panic as shrills and sharp pitched noises go off with the man laughing in the background.
The Voice: "I know you're so 'caring' about her, Jade but . . . heh, you really need to keep your mouth shut sometimes and you should learn your place in the ACW. You know you don't even belong in such a Wrestling Organization so worthy of a place such as yours. You ARE NOT even privilege to take a challenge and the damn honor to be HER partner, either it is in life itself . . . or in the ring. I know you and I know exactly what the fuck you think you are doing. You think you’re so clever and so . . . smart. I can see the greed that comes upon your eyes, Jade. Gradually . . . wanting to take her slowly as you dig your CLAWS into her heart and soul and little by little . . . tearing her apart as you did to . . . well, the friendship between her and me."
Jade falls to the ground on her face as "Camera Man" (deciding to be hero) kicks open the door and burst into the room with a shock to see, sitting on the mat placed on the floor next to the Japanese tea set, was Mr. Floppy. He continued to talk as Jade laid unconscious with a stream of blood flowing down her busted lip, onto her chin.
Mr. Floppy: "You will be fine, Jade . . . but when you do wake up, take this as a lesson or warning of not messing with a true friendship that YOU have ruined . . . you greedy, greedy bitch. Your plans never fooled anyone, sweetie. You aim higher then you can reach and from the time I see you with Yoko . . . you just want, want, want but you see . . . you will NEVER get that damn title! By the time you wake up, you will know that Yoko is stronger then you when she WINS that title on her own, without your help or the help of any others!"
"Camera Man" zooms on to Mr. Floppy's innocent look as Jade rests silently on the view as the mellow tones of Geishas start to fade with Mr. Floppy amused and smiling wickedly.

Match: Yoko vs Vinnie, World Championship (Credit: Yoko)
The fans cheer as Philip enters the ring to introduce the final match of the night.
Philip: The next, and last, match tonight, is for the ACW World Championship Title. Introducing first, the challenger, from Lansing, Michigan, Vinnie Dulario!
For Whom the Bell Tolls plays in the arena as the crowd stands and boos. Vinnie Dulario steps out onto the stage. He gazes over the crowd and slowly lowers his shades. He saunters down to the ring while the crowd jeers and throws objects at him. He teases handing a fan his sunglasses, but them quickly pulls them back. Vinnie slides into the ring under the ropes. He hangs up his overcoat on the ringpost, and lays his shades down on the canvas under the ropes. He peels off his black shirt, and tosses it aside while he waits for his opponent.
Philip: And his opponent, from...Well, you know where she's from, the reigning ACW World Champion, Yoko Satoshi!
The fans cheer very loudly as the opening melody of Flower of Carnage is heard, and even more loudly as Yoko herself appears on the stage with the belt in one hand, Mr. Floppy in the other. Jade is seen following Yoko though keeping her distance from Mr. Floppy, she appears to have already gone through some sort of Hell tonight, apparent by the blood stains on her face.
Yoko places her things in the corner, but instead of entering, she circles the ring until she reaches Yuki. She smiles at her and gives her a big hug, then enters the ring. Philip exits the ring, signaling that it's time to start. Yoko however borrows his microphone for a moment.
Yoko: When you showed up, Vinnie, you seemed nice enough. But, then you had to go and mess with Jade. I won't tolerate anyone who messes with my...with my friend. So I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight, and hopefully you'll back off.
She drops the microphone and rushes at Vinnie.
Bell Rings
Yoko is pounding on Vinnie's head by the time the bell finishes ringing. He easily shoves her away thanks to the size difference between them. They circle for a second and then grapple. Yoko attempts an Irish Whip, but Vinnie counters, and floors her with a clothesline as she returns. He drops a quick elbow on her to stun her, then grabs her arm for some type of an armbar. She rolls away before he can lock it on, and gets to her feet. Rather than give her a chance to get her breath, Vinnie runs at her, intent on keeping her down, but she launches a standing dropkick that sends him down to the mat. She runs into the ropes and hits him with a very Hogan-esque legdrop, and goes for a pin. Unlike the result of a Hogan legdrop, Vinnie quickly kicks out after the one count. As he's standing, Yoko runs into the ropes, and on the way back, grabs his head and nails him with a spinning neckbreaker. She jumps over to his legs and lifts them, and crosses them, attempting to go for the Old Ball and Chain. Vinnie realizes this and grabs her head as she's bending down, and rolls her up with a small package. She kicks out after a quick two count. They reach their feet and catch their breath.
They grapple again, and Yoko knees him in the stomach. She tosses his arm over her head and goes for a snap suplex, but he doesn't budge. He then knees her in the stomach, and counters it into a beautiful vertical suplex. He holds her up in the air as a display of strength. Vinnie's ego costs him though as Yoko struggles and manages to break the suplex and fall behind him before he can finish it. As Vinnie turns, Yoko kicks him in the stomach, grabs his head, and goes for the Evenflow DDT. Vinnie won't have any of this though, and tosses her into the ropes, and grabs her for his Dead Enough DDT. She escapes from his grasp by a hair and kicks him in the stomach and leaps into the air for the Flying Guillotine. He stands to avoid it, kicks her in the stomach, and hits her with a normal DDT. He lays there to catch his breath after that counter-fest.
During this quick rest period by both stars, someone emerges from the entrance. Someone dressed in Yoko's Halloween Ghostface costume, carrying a croquet mallet. This person goes to ringside, but doesn't do anything else. Jade keeps an eye on him, as it's clearly not good.
As Vinnie and Yoko reach their feet and approach each other, Vinnie goes cheap with an eye rake. Yoko winces and turns from him, and smiles as her foot flies backwards accidentally, directly into Vinnie's groin. He yells in pain as she giggles and makes sure her eyes are fine. She then spots the Ghostface and is shocked.
Yoko: Not funny, Rose!
This distraction causes Yoko to lose the advantage, as Vinnie comes from behind with another clothesline, flooring her quickly, but accidentally bumping the referee as well. Vinnie lifts Yoko up for his Dead Enough again, but with the referee gone, Yoko takes advantage and gives him a very blatant uppercut between the legs. Yoko runs back against the ropes to deliver a running move, but as she does, the Ghostface swings the croquet mallet full force and nails Yoko in the back of the head. She immediately collapses. Jade, very pissed off, runs around the ring in chase of the Ghostface. Meanwhile, in the ring, Vinnie takes advantage, lifts up Yoko, and finally nails his Dead Enough DDT, and pins her as the referee is waking back up. Jade sees this, and giving up the chase, rolls into the ring and dropkicks Vinnie off of Yoko. The referee rings the bell.
Philip: The winner of this match due to disqualification, Vinnie Dulario!
Vinnie doesn't get to celebrate his DQ win, as Jade is beating on him heavily. He quickly starts to fight back. Their fight tumbles out of the ring, and continues up the ramp and into the backstage area, leaving Yoko alone in the ring. She's just beginning to wake up, but barely.
The Ghostface is walking back around the ring to the ramp to leave now, when a sudden blur catches its attention. Yuki Satoshi is running along the guard rail, amazingly balanced, straight at Ghostface. Before the figure can react with anything besides dropping the croquet mallet, Yuki jumps off with a clothesline, nailing the figure and sending it tumbling back against the ring. To avoid the onslaught of the raging Yuki, it rolls into the ring. The fans cheer. The figure turns around and is face to face with Yoko Satoshi.
Yoko kicks Ghostface in the stomach, and delivers the Flying Guillotine. The crowd pops.
Yoko: I told you, Rose, I won't leave!
Yoko reaches down and removes the mask from Ghostface, and is shocked, but quickly smiles again. The camera zooms in. It isn't Rose afterall, but Rika Megumi, Yoko's arch rival. Yoko exits the ring and grabs her things, and walks off to the back with Yuki.
End Show.

You all know you love... [glow=red,2,300]The Senator's Moment of the Show![/glow] By this point, Ridley's had enough. He strides to the ropes, shoves the referee aside, and decks Nakanishi with a discus chop, then hurls him over the top rope into the ring. The one-on-two beatdown (if that makes sense) goes well for a minute, until Kendo Ka Shin gets back to his feet, and from there on, Ridley's pummelled unmercifully. The referee is about to call for the bell when, out from the crowd behind him, a new figure dives into the ring and takes Nakanishi off his feet with a massive lariat. The crowd lets out a roar as they recognize the unmistakably anime-character-like hair of IWGP Triple Crown champ Satoshi Kojima, who lights into Nakanishi with a series of seated punches. With Ridley on his feet and going strike-for-strike with Ka Shin, the odds seem to have been evened, until another pop from the crowd causes him to turn. He sees, too late, that the hooded man in the audience has already jumped the guardrail and is in the ring, causing a brief standoff. The new entry pulls back his hood and throws off the jacket, revealing that Black New Japan's got a third man here...and Ridley's face to face with his mentor. There's a pause at this point, as Ridley and Kojima back themselves up into a corner. Ka Shin, Chono, and Nakanishi have already closed in on them, and it looks like this is the last stand for "Team New Japan", if you will....and then "Trans Magic" hits. ------------------------------------------------------------- MUTOH!! CHONO!!! KOJI!!!! I marked out too many times during this match....
