Segment: A Reunion nonetheless (Credit: BK)
The scene opens with BK London and Predator walking down the corridor still discussing things from when they were in the ring together.
BK: ....yeah so that’s our strategy for you Tag Team Match tonight, don't take these two lightly, they both have at least one win over me a piece. But their weakness is that the two have very huge egos and as a team they are a combustible element. I want you to take advantage of that...
Predator: Cool...I'll discuss that with Wolf the moment I get into our locker room...
BK: Right...your match is less than 30 minutes away now, you should get ready.
Predator looks at his watch.
Predator: Shit...you’re right. We'll talk more later.
Predator sharply turns the corner and heads off to his locker room as BK watches him smiling. As he turns to continue walking down the hall all the camera catches is almost a red burst of light taking down BK to the ground. As the camera looks down it is revealed to be his wife Kiley who is smothering him with kisses.
Kiley: Thank god you’re alive.
BK: Of course I'm alive, where else was I gonna go, Detroit?
Kiley gets up off of BK from the ground and BK just sits up, Kiley then looks down and a look of anger comes across her face. Kiley viciously kicks BK back down to the ground and locks on an armbar, a move that is nearly impossible to get out of, in the middle of the hallway.
Kiley: WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU CALL?!
BK: Ow..Ow..Ow...I wanted it to be a surprise so I didn't want anyone to know.
Kiley: Do you know how worried sick I was? Do you know how sad your daughter was?
BK: Ouch, Ouch, yes, I'm sorry honey.
Kiley: Oh don't sorry honey me.
Kiley releases the hold and grabs BK by his ear.
Kiley: Before you go out and face Skurai you are going to tell me everything that happened over the past 5 days.
BK: Ouch...Ouch...Ouch…yes dear.
The crowd laughs at BK as he gingerly walks with Kiley who is holding his ear back to their locker room.
Fade out.

Segment: Management Maneuvers (Credit: Yoko)
The camera fades in on an up close shot of Ginger's upper torso, sitting behind his desk.
Ginger: So let me get this straight before we continue. You decided to be a good Samaritan and help the custodial crew, by taking out some of the garbage in your spare time. You noticed Mercer Stanton hanging around outside, got suspicious, and hid. You then saw him fire and threaten Surion, or Andy Starr, or whatever, and you came to tell me. Is that what you're telling me?
??: Yes. Do you not believe me?
The camera pulls out, revealing none other than the Senator sitting before Ginger's desk.
Ginger: I do. We don't always see eye to eye, Steve, but I do trust your word. Besides, it sounds exactly like something he would do.
Senator: What are you going to do? Will you reinstate his contract?
Ginger: It's not that simple. If his contract had already run out, and Stanton refused to resign him, then his contract was terminated and I can't do anything about it.
Senator: Could you give him a new contract?
Ginger: That'd be a big deal, so Stanton would no doubt review it and veto it before it goes into effect. Unless...
Senator: Unless?
Ginger: It's nice that you're so interested in righting this wrong, but you can go for now. Let me try to think of a plan and I'll get back to you if you're still willing to help.
Senator: Ok, I'll talk to you later, then.
Senator leaves the office, while Ginger begins to think.
End Segment.

Match 4: Daredevil vs. AJK Caveman (Credit: DD; Closing events credit: AJK)
Philip enters the ring, ready to announce the next match. He looks around, and finally starts to speak.
Philip: The following match is scheduled for one fall. First off, from Newcastle, England, being accompanied by Jack McCarty, AJK Caveman!
Toy Soldiers by Eminem hits, and AJK Caveman comes out to a flurry of boos and jeers from the crowd. He tries to ignore them, slowly making his way to the ring, but looks a little less confidant. The mask must have taken something personal away from him.
Philip: And if he’s in the building yet, from Cardiff Wales, he is the Lightweight Champion…Dan ‘the Daredevil’ White!
Take a Look Around hits, but there is no sign of Daredevil. McCarty smirks in the ring, knowing that DD won’t turn up. But there is a small cheer from a section of the crowd, and it gradually gets louder. McCarty and AJK Caveman look around, and cannot believe it as DD is standing next to the barricade, with a Singapore cane in hand. He’s fully bandaged up, be it somewhat of a botch job, but nonetheless he stands, smiling at the two. He then slides into the ring and McCarty flees, but AJK remains in the ring. DD drops the cane as the referee calls for the bell.
Bell Rings.
DD runs at AJK, but AJK just delivers a huge clothesline and knocks DD onto the floor. DD looks shocked, obviously not remembering from last time he wrestled against AJK. AJK then runs up, and elbows him right into his chest. DD suddenly jumps around in immense pain, obviously being hit where the burns are. He slips out of the ring, but quickly gets back inside before McCarty can do some damage. AJK looks at him, smiling, and lifts him up in a Gorilla Press. DD looks vulnurable, but he sees an opportunity, and manges to hit a Tornado DDT onto AJK. He rolls AJK up, but the younger brother kicks out before three. AJK smiles at DD, and tries a clothesline, but DD rolls AJK up again, but AJK kicks out. They both get up, and stare at each other. They engage in a headlock, which AJK wins, throwing DD hard into the corner. He then tortures DD, hitting him with large backhand chops onto his chest. DD slumps to his arse, completely in pain, but AJK shows no mercy whatsoever, lifting DD up and locking him in his own Armbar. He uses the right arm, the one that was burnt, and DD is in a certain position to tap out. It looks very likely, but DD manages to roll AJK up into a small package, but AJK kicks out again. They both get back up to their feet, and go into another headlock. DD attempts an Irish Whip, but AJK is too strong and does his own. DD however hits back with an Enziguri-which AJK jumps out the way of, and DD hits the referee!
DD looks a little shocked, but suddenly he is surrounded by AJK, McCarty and the incoming Hugh Daniels! Daniels has the cane in hand, and all three men jump onto DD. But Daredevil jumps onto the ropes, and bounces over the men, rolling on his landing. It hurts him, but he challenges the pain and smirks at the three. They chase him, but he releases a Smoke Grenade! The ring almost instantly goes cloudy for several seconds, and coughing is easily heard. As the smoke slowly clears, DD is seen on the top turnbuckle with the cane. He jumps off, hitting McCarty and AJK down with it. Daniels then runs at him, but DD hits a Stunt Bomb! He’s all hyped up, but suddenly comes crashing back down to earth as AJK hits him with a Big Boot. DD looks hurt but too dazed to do anything about the situation, and at that moment the referee slowly awakes from his slumber. But before he can say anything, AJK hits him with an elbow drop, and he’s fallen back to sleep. AJK grins, and lifts his brother up. He Irish whips him to the ropes, but DD ducks the attempted move and hits AJK with a Brain Damaged’D/10 (Dangerous DDT). He covers AJK looking for the win, but the referee is obviously down. DD looks pissed off if anything, but is immediately attacked by the duo from before. They stomp him numerous times, but DD manages to escape to the outside of the ring.

He goes under the ring and grabs hold of a few things. What he comes out with is a table and a ladder! He sets them up on the outside of the ring, but suffers to a Hugh Daniels baseball slide. DD falls back to the barricade, holding his chest where he was mostly burnt, but remains confident. He gets to his feet, and slides into the ring. He grabs Daniels, and hits another Stunt Bomb! He then grabs McCarty, and throws him to the outside of the ring! DD follows, and hits a Stunt Bomb on him before laying him on the table. DD then slowly makes the climb to the top, all while AJK slowly stands up. DD reaches the top, the crowd going utterly crazy, and jumps, performing the Swanton Bomb. However, AJK dramatically makes the dive through the ropes, and pulls McCarty off the table. DD then ends up in a complete mess through the table, fittingly as the referee wakes up. He slowly gets to his feet, and notices the damage done. He has no option but to ring the bell, and McCarty, Daniels and AJK stand outside the ring, around Daredevil. Philip then does his duty and enters the ring.
Philip: The match has resulted in a No Contest!
The crowd aren’t happy with this, and boo the trio, as they grin to each other. AJK grabs his brother and tosses him into the ring, and all three men follow. AJK then lifts DD up, and gives him a brutal X-5 in the centre of the ring. McCarty then grabs a microphone, and laughs at DD
McCarty: I should have put you out of your misery, boy. But instead you actually came crawling back. I mean wow, what a superhero, you battle through the flames, through career-wait, life-threatening injuries, and for what? To be destroyed once again by your enemy? Face it Dan, you’re career is over here.
McCarty laughs, and walks on top of DD, on his chest. DD, though pretty much out of it, steal feels the pain rushing through his body, and his pain is visible through his facial expression.
McCarty: It’s over, DD. It’s all over…
Toy Soldiers by Eminem hits, and the three men walk out, to a hole host of jeers by the crowd. EMTs come to the ring and take DD away on a stretcher, where he’s given a standing ovation from the crowd, as crew members clear up all the wreckage caused from the match.

Segment: Legendary Exploits (Credit: Hunter)
As the scene opens, we see Hunter walking down a new hallway. There is an absence of human beings, but this doesn't make Hunter nervous. He looks around at the many scattered doors. He counts silently to himself, apparently attempting to remember Ron's directions. He stops at a door and looks at it. He takes out the piece of paper with the password and reaches out towards the door. He is just about to knock when all of a sudden the door bursts open. Hunter jumps back and drops the piece of paper. He looks at the cause of the open door and laughs.
Hunter: Gary?
Gary: Hey...Hunter! How are you doing?
Hunter: I'm...I'm doing pretty good Gary.
Gary: Why are you here?
Hunter: Oh...well...I'm just looking...for...uh...oh, this piece of paper here.
Hunter picks up the piece of paper that contains the password. He smiles and puts it into his pocket.
Gary: Oh, okay.
Hunter (mumbling): Ah, you're so naive.
Gary: Naive?
Hunter's eyes widen.
Gary: That sounds like some shampoo. Do you have any?
Hunter: Uh...no Gary, I don't.
Gary: Hey, uh, do you know what's behind that door?
Gary motions to the now closed door that he came out of. Hunter slowly smirks and shakes his head.
Hunter: No...
Gary leans closer.
Gary: It's a casino.
Hunter: Really?
Hunter looks at the door and remembers its location.
Gary: Yeah, it is. I almost won a hundred dollars! But it doesn't make any sense. How do two threes beat a king? I mean, a king is higher than six!
Hunter: ...what were you playing?
Gary: Poker. Why?
Hunter laughs.
Hunter: Never mind.
Gary: Hey, you know, you should try it out. I heard you were really good at poker!
Hunter (smirking): Yes, yes I am.
Gary: Everyone's heard about your time in the Vegas.
Hunter: The Vegas?
Gary: Yeah, "las" is "the" in Nevadian.
Hunter: Hmm...
Gary: And I heard that you won close to a hundred thousand dollars! In one hand!
Hunter: Yes, yes I did.
Gary: And then I heard that you spent it all on a "ho" and some coke-
Hunter: WHAT!? SHUT UP!!!
Gary: -but I don't get it. How many cans of Coke did you get?
Hunter: I...uh...well...
Gary: And couldn't you just get a gardener? You don't need a hoe to strain yourself with...
Hunter chuckles.
Hunter: Uh...yeah...I got a lifetime supply of..."Coke"...and a gardening tool...
Gary: But wouldn't you have some money left over?
Hunter: Well, the ho was expensive.
Gary: I see.
Hunter looks at Gary and slowly raises an eyebrow. Gary smiles and skips away fruitfully. Hunter sighs and looks at the door.
Hunter: Not today...
Hunter chuckles again and walks away.

Segment: A question of Integrity (Credit: Senator / AK)
The shot switches to the backstage area. Alicia is walking along the corridor, keeping her eyes to the floor. She can feel the awkwardness of everyone she passes by, and so she does her best to avoid their gaze, for despite her outer calm inside she is a maelstrom of emotions, ready to blow up at any moment…..
She reaches the secretary’s office and enters; the camera hovers outside, and there is a short pause. After less than a minute Alicia reappears. She is holding an envelope, and as she slowly walks along her hands shake a tiny bit. All her concentration is taken up by the Herculean effort of opening it, so that she doesn’t see the person approaching from the other direction, his own view obscured by documents…
They collide, and paper goes everywhere.
Alicia: Oh, I’m sorry-
She stops in mid sentence as she sees the other party clearly for the first time.
Senator: Well, well, well, Miss Kitsune.
Alicia’s expression wavers between surprise and anger before becoming as flat as still water. She can’t, however, hide her feelings completely.
AK: Senator Phillips…. I might have known that your mind wouldn’t be entirely on navigation.
The Senator frowns, obviously annoyed but conscious of the wider context of their meeting.
Senator: Look, you know, and I know that your match at Spring Into Hell was not exactly under the most optimal of circumstances, but I did the best job I could.
AK: That was your best? In that case I’ll consider myself lucky to have caught you on a good day, otherwise I might have suffered a serious injury.
Senator: Look, I called that match right down the middle....
AK: Yeah, right. I would have won that match if it were not for you, I know you have a grudge with Victor, but if you think you can get to him through me, you have another thin...
Senator: I acted as a professional, thank you very much! Instead of questioning my honor, and really, after teaming with me back in the GFWWE, you should know better than that, how about you just face me...in the ring.
Alicia is about to snap back, but then stops herself and looks thoughtful for a moment.
AK: You know, you’re right. I think I’ll do that…..
The Senator is picking up his papers; his hand alights on the envelope that Alicia was carrying. Seeing this, she snatches it up, and steps past him.
AK: Excuse me…
She walks away hurriedly, leaving the Senator to finish collecting his things. Only once she’s around the corner and out of sight does she slow down, and with trepidation open the envelope. She tips the contents out on to her palm….it’s just one item.
A simple gold engagement ring.
Alicia’s eyes fill with tears, and she flees down the corridor and is gone before the camera can track her.
Fade out.

Match 5: RDK & TNT vs. The Predators – ACW Tag Title Match
There is plenty of excitement as the show reaches its halfway point; the crowd is expecting one heck of a contest here, and they cheer Philip as he enters the ring.
Philip: This is a tag team match, set for one fall, and it is for the ACW Tag Team Championship! Now approaching the ring, from Yellowknife, Canada……the Macho Man RDK!
”Macho Man” sends the crowd barmy as RDK runs out on to the stage, fired up for the match. He slaps hands with fans on his way down to the ring and then climbs the turnbuckles once he’s there. He’s just finished saluting the crowd when “Never Enough” hits, and there is a mixed reaction for his partner.
Philip: And his team mate for this contest, from Chicago Illinois…..TNT!
TNT smirks in typical style as he stalks down to the ring; he treats the fans cheering and the fans jeering just the same, with a cool detachment. On reaching the ring he takes up a position close to RDK, although there’s no friendly greeting between them.
Philip: And their opponents, from Winnipeg, Canada….they are the defending ACW Tag Team Champions, Predator and Wolf, the Predators!
”Stay Together for the Kids” hits, and the Predators come out to a loud chorus of boos. This increases substantially as the fans see that BK London is accompanying the pair of them to the ring; the ref sees this, and tells BK to stay on the outside as the Predators enter the ring.
With BK giving a few choice words of encouragement, the two teams face one another. RDK is ready to start but TNT pushes him aside, and Wolf steps up to bat for the Predators. This settled, the ref sends the others to the outside, and there is a cheer as he gives the nod to the timekeeper.
Bell Rings.
TNT looks at Wolf as if he doesn’t even belong in the same ring with him; his contempt – laden stare makes Wolf angry, and Wolf moves in, throwing out a couple of very strong blows. TNT sidesteps the first, but his cockiness is misplaced and the second connects; slightly dazed, TNT’s own punch is wide and Wolf delivers a neat DDT before covering. It comes nowhere near 2, but serves to concentrate TNT’s mind slightly more on the match. With a few taunting words TNT slaps Wolf rudely across the face and produces a Fisherman’s Suplex, the first of a possible 3. TNT smirks as he delivers suplexes one and two, but the second lands Wolf close to his own corner, and both BK and Predator grasp Wolf’s legs so that TNT can’t lift him for the third. Enraged, TNT runs forward, leaving Wolf and kicks at BK; BK yells and protests loudly to the ref, thus distracting him as TNT finds himself double teamed by the Predators. RDK shouts to TNT urging him to break away and tag; TNT looks decidedly pissed off at being “ordered around”, but manages to crack the Predators’ heads together and make it back to his corner. Predator bails out and the referee, realising something’s going on, turns around in time to see the tag made; Wolf staggers up just in time to get nailed with a Macho Slam. The crowd cheer loudly and RDK signals for the Rock Bottom; Wolf, who has been on the receiving end of most of the offense, is in big trouble and as RDK goes to execute the move BK slides into the ring and smashes Wolf’s tag belt into RDK’s head. RDK slumps, and the referee has seen enough from BK; he orders him immediately to the back for the rest of the match. Predator protests but BK shakes his head; he’s bought the Predators a second chance, and given Wolf a chance to recover enough to make it back to his corner. BK leaves as the tag is made, and the crowd continues to boo as a confident Predator advances on RDK.

Predator begins with a scoop slam; RDK pulls himself up and Predator whips him back into his own corner. Wolf tries a sneaky punch while the referee’s view is obscured, but RDK is far too experienced not to expect this, and clotheslines Wolf off of the apron. Predator hits RDK with a turnbuckle splash while he’s facing away from him, and then stomps on RDK’s back and head; but RDK remains cools, rolls to the outside, nips around the ring and slides back in so that he’s behind Predator. Predator charges him, and gets a backbody drop for his trouble; the fans cheer and chant for RDK, who smiles and taunts Predator in his own inimitable style. Infuriated, Predator won’t simply lie down and take the insults – he steams in, and strikes are exchanged fiercely between the two men, with neither seeming to have a clear advantage over the other. After a few moments of this Predator slips behind RDK and delivers a German suplex – to – pin, getting close to 2 before RDK kicks away; Predator continues to pour on the pressure, and RDK has to focus to be able to absorb the attacks safely. On the apron, TNT calls for the tag, but RDK shakes his head; he is determined to prove that he’s more than a match for the Predators, and underlines this with a Samoan Drop and 3 count on Predator himself. Predator has no such qualms and makes a dash for his own corner to tag in Wolf; RDK moves quickly to use the element of surprise with a shoulder charge, but Wolf ducks and rolls nimbly and RDK ends up impacting himself against the turnbuckle. RDK staggers backward into a mighty chokeslam from Wolf, and Wolf gets a clear 2 count; again TNT shouts, more urgently and with a touch of impatience, but RDK still refuses the tag, and blasts Wolf with a flurry of punches followed by a Jabroni buster. The crowd are loving it, but TNT looks less than pleased; RDK though is oblivious to this as he taunts both Predators and challenges them to take him out.
Wolf and Predator have just about had enough of RDK’s confidence; Predator shouts instructions, and Wolf retreats, drawing RDK close to his own corner. RDK is a little cautious, but he wants to score a decisive victory and reclaim gold, and this leads him to take the risk of engaging with Wolf on less than neutral ground. Wolf bides his time, defends his position and when RDK makes a slight error, Wolf grasps his arm and throws him into the corner. Predator immediately snakes an arm around RDK’s neck and chokes him, as Wolf moves in very close and pummels RDK in the chest and abdomen. The ref can’t see, and by the time he’s moved in close enough to see the double teaming a lot of damage has already been done. Predator has to release RDK, who pushes Wolf back and makes a move, at last, to tag in TNT; Wolf dives and catches his leg, and RDK is left just a few centimetres short of the tag. TNT shouts and stamps, and RDK forces closer, makes a final swipe – but TNT pulls back his arm, and laughs as the crowd starts to boo him angrily. Smirking, TNT hops down from the apron and walks away up the ramp; RDK realises he’s now on his own, and Wolf and Predator laugh and signal to one another, now confident of victory. But RDK hasn’t read that page of the script; he turns over and kicks Wolf back, and Wolf inadvertently ends up tagging Predator. The fans go crazy as RDK starts to Macho up; Predator starts to look pale, but has to enter the ring. He moves forward, but RDK is now pumped up and riding on the crowd’s energy, and he catches Predator and executes a powerslam close to a neutral corner before climbing up and performing his moonsault to a huge pop. RDK covers, and Wolf is forced to make the save; the ref shouts, but now Predator’s had enough. Urging Wolf on, he commences a fresh attack; RDK gives as good as he gets and the crowd roars as the Macho Man succeeds in holding both Predators at bay. Panicking, Predator slides out and grabs an empty chair; the referee, who was about to give the Predators a final warning, skips this and calls immediately for the bell as the crowd continues to boo.
Philip: Here are your winners, as a result of a Disqualification…..RDK and TNT!
The fans boo furiously, but the Predators don’t care; they continue to attack RDK, and the Macho Man tries to shield himself from Predator’s vicious chair shots. It looks bleak, but then out of nowhere there’s a surge of sound, and Predator turns around just in time to see TNT dashing back to the ring. Wolf isn’t so lucky, and gets RKOed on the spot; the fans pop, and Predator skids out of the ring, abandoning Wolf in his rush to avoid a similar fate.
With the attack stopped, TNT continues to trash talk Wolf, who is in no condition to pay attention; behind them, RDK pulls himself up and touches TNT on the shoulder. TNT turns back to RDK, and RDK offers him his hand in thanks. TNT looks at it, hesitates and then takes it, drawing a pop… which becomes a livid blast of heat as TNT clotheslines RDK to the canvas.
TNT’s music hits again, and TNT just continues to smirk as he walks away, the last man standing and as deceitful as he ever was.

Segment: One step too far (Credit: Yoko)
Yoko Satoshi is pacing in front of Jade's locker room door, trying to decide on how to approach her. She reluctantly knocks on the door. Jade opens it.
Jade: Oh...It's you.
Yoko: I wanted to apologize to you for what happened. Mr. Floppy told me to do those things...He said you'd like it, and I believed him. But it's ok, because I got rid of him tonight.
Jade: Listen-
Yoko: I want to make things better between us. That's why, next week on Meltdown, I'm giving you a title shot. I won't just let you win, of course, it'll be a good match between us. Being recognized as a contender for the world title makes you happy, right?
Jade: I appreciate the match offer, and I accept. But Yoko, listen. I don't think we can hang out anymore, not if you're going to get all weird and try to seduce me. So, goodbye.
Yoko: ...What?
Jade: You heard me.
Jade closes the door, but Yoko quickly stops it from closing with her foot.
Yoko: I won't try seducing you again.
Jade: That's not the point. You tried once, so now I'll always know how you think of me, and I don't like that. You're just...Too weird for me. Please move your foot, Yoko. I'm trying to be as nice as possible but you're making it difficult.
Yoko glares at her for a moment, then slowly removes her foot from the door. It closes in her face. She remains there staring at the door.

Segment: One last dance (Credit: Angelo)
The scene opens to a backstage area, the camera then moves up, revealing Angelo.
Angelo: ...................
Angelo takes a deep breath.
Angelo: What does it take for an Italian man to really succeed in this business?
Angelo looks around, down the hall and runs his hand through his hair.
Angelo: I made my return from a rib injury. I tried climbing the ladder of success. I started winning some matches, losing some. With every little thing I grow. When I came here Pain Inc took my under their win. Maybe Ridley didn't like me, but Rose made me learn. I thank her for that, but then I failed. I failed Ridley’s request, and was ejected out. Then it all went on from there. One time tag champion, broken rib, and now here we are. At Fallen Heroes Alicia Kitsune robbed me of my chance to go to the main event of Omega Effect. I wanted revenge. At Spring into Hell I didn't do my job....I didn't finish it. Alicia, that’s why right now I'm laying it on the table. Monday, a match to finish it all. What do ya say?
Angelo turns his head then walks away slowly as the camera fades with Angelo walking down the hall.

Match 6: Canadian Dragon vs. Wyvern - Pure Wrestling Rules (Credit: Wyvern)
The crowd on hand here tonight awaits the following match – which pits a brand new talent of the ACW against the veteran who’s looking towards his world title shot in under a month. Even more noteworthy though, is the set-up for tonight’s match between the two, which utilizes a rule set never before seen in the ACW ring. How will each competitor handle the rules? Only time will tell as Phillip enters the ring, mic in hand, to announce the competitors to the ring.
Phillip: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. The rules of the match are under the Pure Wrestling Rules. A Pure Wrestling Rules match operates very much like a normal match, except with a few changes. First off, there are no closed fists allowed. Second of all, the ring-out count is now 20 instead of 10. And most of all, each competitor is allowed up to three rope breaks, after which the ropes can’t prevent a submission from being counted. With that, introducing first, hailing from Owen Sound, Ontario, in his ACW debut, the Canadian Dragon, Teddy Davis Jr.!
”The Ritual” hits to a respectable debut pop as Teddy Davis Jr. makes his way out of the entranceway. He makes his way down to the ring, as the audience here wonders about the man. Can Teddy pull off a huge upset here tonight? Teddy climbs into the ring, takes off his jean jacket, and makes an “X” with his arms to a mixed reaction of the crowd, one person actually throws a beer, which draws the ire of the straight-edge Teddy Davis Jr..
Phillips: And his opponent, hailing from Tacoma, Washington, he is a member of the New Breed, and the reigning ACW International Champion, Wyvern!
The fans roar in unison as “Trip Like I Do” comes over the loudspeakers, coinciding with the emergence of the man known as Wyvern. He emerges from a billow of fog that casts a translucent silhouette of him as he walks down the ramp, title belt in hand. He makes his way down the ring, more focused than usual, probably due to the injuries sustained at Spring Into Hell. He climbs up the ring steps and steps into the ring. He steps on the middle rope and displays the belt for all to see, which the fans respond with a loud cheer. He then steps down, and hands the belt to the referee for safekeeping. The ref takes care of it, and then calls for the bell.
The bell rings.
Davis and Wyvern look each other down for a little while – there’s no need to rush an offense in a match like this. They start to move in on each other slowly, eyeing up their respective opponent. Davis makes the first move, initiating a grapple. The two jockey for position, and Davis surprises Wyvern somewhat with an armdrag that throws the current International champion down to the mat. Wyvern rushes him again, and the same happens again, this time Wyvern hits the ropes, and Davis quickly locks in an armbar while Wyvern is on the ropes. The ref breaks it up, as the crowd realizes why Davis did such a thing – Wyvern’s now limited to two rope breaks, even though he most likely could’ve escaped the maneuver. Wyvern gets back up as Teddy backs away, knowing that the strategy will frustrate Wyvern. Wyvern launches into a clothesline at Davis, but he ducks, and connects with a nice Muai Thai kick, that sends Wyvern reeling temporarily, as Davis quickly rushes him and locks in a sleeperhold, running Wyvern into the ropes. The ref breaks this up again, and the crowd protests the rules, while understanding that Teddy is operating fairly within them, but this comes to no avail to Wyvern, who has taken it in stride somewhat here so far. He connects with a few chops that surprise Davis, who has performed so far in the match with an expertise not seen too often by a newcomer. Wyvern runs the ropes, and throws another wild clothesline at Davis, which Davis ducks again – too bad for him that this is all a ruse by the veteran, who stops immediately after throwing it, and nails a kneeling inverted DDT backbreaker, which he holds for a dragon sleeper, a very familiar one at that. Davis isn’t near the ropes at all, but Wyvern begins to struggle with the hold after a few moments, as the injured shoulder starts to rear it’s ugly head and causes Wyvern to drop the hold.
As Davis gets up, he realizes he has a golden opportunity. He waits for Wyvern to get back up, and nails a dropkick to Wyvern’s shoulder, which drops the champ back to the mat. He squirms in pain, and it’s undeniable that Davis is on a roll here. He picks up Wyvern, and nails a tiger suplex, which puts even more pressure on Wyvern’s shoulder. Davis makes the cover. 1….2….kick out by Wyvern, as a stunned crowd cannot believe the arsenal Davis has unleashed here so far, schooling Wyvern in terms of mat finesse. Wyvern gets up slowly, and tries to get something going, using some chops, but to no avail, as the more aware Teddy dodges the chops, and comes in for the overhead belly-to-belly suplex. The crowd “oohs” as Wyvern hits very hard on his shoulder, resulting in a very loud scream of pain that lets the people know Teddy is doing his job here tonight. Davis moves in – while he’d probably like to help Wyvern out, this is a match, if you’re hurt too much to continue, you give up. Davis gives him a few stiff kicks to the head that look harder than usual, and this ignites Wyvern. He grabs Davis by the other leg, and pulls him down, as he stumbles to his feet, looking for the Deus Ex Machina! He gets his leg hooked, but no! Teddy manages to break one of his legs free, and kick Wyvern, sending Wyvern flipping over the top rope! He hits the apron on the way down, and the fans are having a hard time watching this continue, as he looks to be out cold on the outside of the ring. The ref initiates the count, while Davis rests up in the ring, knowing that he has a major advantage right now in the flow of the match. Wyvern stirs around the 12 count, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that it’s not going to be much of a match in a few mere moments. With this, Davis steps out of the ring, restarting the count, as he picks up Wyvern and rolls him into the ring. Davis makes a cover, hoping to get this match over with. 1…2…NO! Wyvern isn’t going down, as he gets a foot on the ropes! The crowd roars at Wyvern’s tenacity, and Davis must be impressed, but that comes at a price to Wyvern, who no longer has a rope break to rely on. Davis gets back up to his feet, as does Wyvern. Davis moves in on the very weary Wyvern, and throws a few kicks to various areas of Wyvern, as Wyvern falls to a kneeling position. Davis rushes Wyvern for a shining wizard, but Wyvern manages to spear Davis down to the mat. Wyvern tumbles over Teddy, and locks in another Dragon sleeper, this time with the opposite arm applying the greater force, but this leaves Teddy’s free arm to easily grasp the rope and avoid a submission. Wyvern releases the hold, as Davis gets up. Davis tries to get a sense of things, but not before Wyvern connects with a shoulder block with his good shoulder, but it’s to no effect, as Davis holds his ground and roars, as the crowd cheers in approval of the newcomer. At this point Wyvern looks to be running out of almost all options, the expression on his face sells this fact to Davis. Davis kicks him in the midsection, and locks him in the Wings of the Dragon! The crowd goes wild! Wyvern tries his hardest to get out of the hold, but his bum shoulder isn’t giving him the time of day here, as his efforts are increasingly looking to be in vain. Davis has it locked in as tightly as can be. Davis pushes Wyvern over to the ropes, and holds the maneuver on them. The ref walks by to check Wyvern, and forces Teddy off, calling for the bell after counting to five.
Phillip: And your winner by DQ, Wyvern?!
The crowd is irate – it was clearly stated in the rules that after three rope breaks, a submission can count. A chant of “bullshit” starts up, and Teddy argues vehemently with the ref, as a very weak Wyvern calls for a mic.
Wyvern: Ref, call that damn bell again, Teddy didn’t do anything wrong. Understand the rules ref, or get out of our way.
As the heat grows from the crowd from the ref’s decision, he reluctantly rings the bell again, allowing the match to restart, to a large pop from the crowd.
As the match continues thanks to Wyvern’s request, Teddy looks very displeased at the ref, who backs away, scared for his safety here. As the two circle around each other again, Wyvern can’t help but to be cautious – he has no more chances to prevent a submission from counting. They lock up, and Wyvern quickly falls victim to a snapmare followed up by a brutal soccer style kick that makes Wyvern’s spine do the wave, and he falls down to the ground. Davis quickly calls for an end to this, as he calls for the Davis Driver II! He picks Wyvern up, and locks him in for the maneuver, but Wyvern doesn’t go up! Wyvern quickly throws his weight forward, knocking Davis down to his feet. Wyvern quickly pulls him into the Deus Ex Machina! The crowd roars, as Wyvern is screaming just as loud as Teddy, from the pain of holding onto it. A very displeased Teddy has no choice but to tap, as the ref calls for the bell!
Phillip: And here is your winner via submission, Wyvern! ”Trip Like I Do” hits as the crowd cheers him on, but only half-heartedly. Teddy should have won the match, but Wyvern isn’t oblivious to that fact. He celebrates for a split second, before moving up to Teddy, and helping him up as best as he can with his bad shoulder. He gets Teddy back to his feet, and offers a handshake. Teddy doesn’t accept it, only turning away as Wyvern grabs a mic.
Wyvern: Listen, I had nothing to do with that decision. You should’ve won right there, fair and square. However, something happened.
Wyvern and Davis both glare at the ref.
Wyvern: Congratulations, Davis. You’ve proven yourself here in the ring. You’re going to kick ass here in the ACW. Here’s to your future.
Wyvern extends his hand as a “Teddy” chant starts in the crowd. Davis turns around to meet Wyvern’s handshake, and accepts to a very large response from the crowd. The two look at each other with respect, and they go their own separate ways. As Wyvern leaves, he notices for the first time tonight that he has never seen the ref for this match before tonight. He shrugs it off, writing off the piss poor call as a rookie mistake, as he heads to the back. As he walks backstage, he hears some laughter from nearby, he goes to track it down, but as he starts to move towards the sound, the person is gone. Wyvern looks confused, as the camera fades.

Segment: The first of many challenges (Credit: Rose)
Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent. -- The Dalai Lama
“Hepsin Senin Mi” hits and the crowd gives an interested reaction to this unfamiliar theme. The first person to come out from behind the curtain is Shawn Kiev; he is wearing a black, pinstriped suit and has a microphone in hand. He is a little shy at this point and does not acknowledge the sea of humanity on either side of him. He stands at the base of the ramp and patiently awaits his protégé. Sakina Khalida comes out next dressed sharply in white pantsuit and a matching white Al-Amira style hijab. She gets a relatively positive response from the crowd as she begins her march to the ring. She walks slightly ahead of Kiev and waves at the crowd along the way. She smiles very brightly and it looks like she is having the time of her live. Kiev just concentrates on making his way to the ring and he does not look like he is thrilled by the screaming masses. Kiev proves that chivalry is not dead and he holds the ropes open so Sakina can enter. They walk to the center of the ring and exchange a few quick words. They stand side by side as the music stops and it looks as if Kiev is ready to address the ACW fans.
Kiev: Hello ACW. Spring Into Hell was an unbelievable and extraordinary event. It was, in my humble opinion, the best wrestling show that this industry has ever seen. As a fan, I saw so many things that are a testament to our fine talent. I saw beautiful technical wrestling, which is the core of our sport. I saw breath taking and death defying aerial wars. I saw brutal and savage hardcore style matches, which are just as much a part of our industry as the previous two. It was truly a wonderful night in the history of our great sport. I am proud and truly humbled to even be present at that show. Thank you ACW, for truly reminding me why I am still a fan.
The crowd pops loudly and a small, but sustained “A-C-W” chant starts. Kiev nods in the affirmative and Sakina turns around to fully take in the enormity of the crowd.
Kiev: Oh! There is one thing I forgot……….silly me. At Spring Into Hell, ACW was introduced to a person who will amaze you with her technical skill, astound you with her amazing aerial maneuvers, and most importantly-----
Kiev turns and smiles at Sakina before continuing
Kiev: Dazzle you……..with her beauty.
Sakina can understand English quite a bit better than she can speak it and she blushes slightly at Kiev’s words. She is a naturally a very modest person and tries to remain that way despite her manager’s playful advances. She silently scolds him, but does so in a likewise playful manner. After flashing a slight smile at her, he turns and continues.
Kiev: ACW was introduced to my skilled client Sakina Khalida. It was at that time that my client issued an open challenge to any member of the active ACW roster. Sakina and I got no word on a response until early this afternoon. It is my honor and privilege to announce the date of Sakina’s first ACW match-up. It will be on the upcoming episode of Fallout and her opponent will be none other than Hunter.
Sakina smiles when he announces her opponent and Kiev only pauses for a second as the crowd pops to the name.
Kiev: Now, Hunter is a skilled competitor and one of the best that ACW has to offer……, but he would do well not to underestimate Sakina. She may not have his size, power, or experience, but she does have some surprises that will more make the match a great deal more interesting. No, I would certainly recommend that you do not underestimate her Hunter. We do wish you the best of luck and hope that you don’t suffer any unfortunate injuries during our match. We look at this match as a test of just how good Sakina is currently. In the end, win or lose, we will make our first impact in ACW, good Night.
“Hepsin Senin Mi” hits and they two begin to exit the ring. Kiev, ever the gentleman, opens the ropes for Sakina as she exits and follows behind her as they move backstage. The crowd is still unsure of what to think of these two and they get a notably mixed reaction. Only time will tell what the future holds for these two and many fans look forward to Sakina’s debut match in just a few short days.

Match 7: The Senator vs. Hunter
As the fans are thinking about the last segment, Philip enters the ring and all eyes return to him.
Philip: This match is set for one fall……Introducing first, from Rochester NY, he is a member of the Senatorial Stable…….Hunter!
”Thunderstruck” hits, and there is a loud reception for Hunter as he approaches the ring. There’s a great deal of debate as to who is likely to come out on top in this match, and Hunter’s supporters make themselves heard. Hunter looks pleased at the reaction, and walks around the ring with his arms raised before turning back toward the entrance.
“Hail to the Chief” plays, and there’s a second largely positive welcome for the Senator as the tickertape comes down.
Philip: And his opponent, he is the leader of the Senatorial Stable…..”Senator” Steve Philips!
The Senator gives his victory pose as he gets up on to the apron; Hunter rolls his eyes, gently mocking the Senator for his presumption. The audience settles a little, and the two men shake hands firmly before backing off just a little in readiness, as the referee confirms that he’s ready for the match to begin.
Bell Rings.
Hunter and Senator start to circle, keeping each other in their sights; they’ve watched enough of their opponent’s matches to know that a rash attack is seldom successful. The sound of the crowd gets louder as they inch closer, and then some critical mark is passed as they launch at one another into a grapple. The Senator swiftly gets the better of Hunter and twists him into a crossarmbar; Hunter grits his teeth and powers out, aware of the danger of letting the Senator wear any part of him down too quickly, and initiates a head to head exchange of open handed punches and chops. Both men are fairly evenly matched, and the Senator slowly starts to make ground, pushing Hunter back toward the ropes. Hunter stays calm, and just when it looks like the Senator has him on the back foot Hunter hops up to the second rope and uses it to launch into a spinning kick. The Senator has the speed to dodge it, but it achieves Hunter’s aim of giving him some space to work in once again, and as the Senator goes for a rapid clothesline Hunter also charges, and connects with the kick to the stomach to execute the Dynamite. The crowd shouts excitedly as Hunter makes a cover; the Senator’s up and away before the 2 count, but Hunter’s shown his mettle by securing the first opportunity of the match. The Senator’s response is immediate and unambiguous; Hunter is distracted for less than a second by the cheers, but in that time the Senator is next to him, has a hold of Hunter by the hair, and starts kneeing him repeatedly in the gut until Hunter is in quite a lot of pain. Aware of the risk of remaining bent forward, Hunter straightens up as fast as he can – and is promptly floored by a running Enziguri. The Senator evens the score with a 2 count pin, and the crowd buzzes as the intense battle continues.
The Senator wants to press his advantage, and he decides to keep working Hunter’s upper body and arms. Hunter is aware that the Senator has few equals on the mat and so tries to keep the match mobile, but as he runs forward the Senator armdrags him down. Hunter tries to pull away but the Senator retains a hold of his arm and wrenches it behind him, moving with Hunter so that he can’t free himself easily. In his urge to get away Hunter fails to keep his other arm out of range and soon the Senator has a hold of both; he pushes Hunter into the corner, and uses a foot to apply pressure to Hunter’s back while continuing to extend the arms, letting the lactic acid build up and do the work for him. The rising pain is evident on Hunter’s face, but he clears his head; he can feel the Senator’s foot and works out that this must mean that the Senator has little traction on the mat itself. In an impressive show of skill, Hunter jumps up and dropkicks the post in front of him – this sends him backward, and he pushes the Senator over at the same time, landing on top of him. The crushing of his chest disrupts Senator’s concentration for a split second, and Hunter rolls clear; his arms are aching badly, but Hunter compensates and gives Senator a stomp or two before backing off, shaking his arms to bring them back to life. The Senator won’t let his work goes to waste and ties up with Hunter over by the ropes, and knowing that he’s in a weakened state Hunter gathers his energy and throws both the Senator and himself to the outside through the ropes. The drop and landing hurt both men a little, but they quickly rise up again and face off.

The slight change in location doesn’t alter the complexion of the match; more chops and forearms are traded, and after the previous exchanges neither man wants to be caught out with a sly move. The pair track around the ring, giving the fans at the front a chance to see the action at unusually close range, and for one group this is almost too close for comfort as Hunter whips Senator toward the barrier. The Senator kicks up and flips off the barrier to land on his feet, and as Hunter goes for a spear he sidesteps; Hunter shows that he can match his stable leader by turning the spear into a roll and ricocheting off the barrier like a pinball to prevent any serious damage. He isn’t quite so lucky as he rolls out of it, however, as Senator pulls out one of his trademarks and lifts him straight into the Polarizer. The fans wince at the impact, and on hearing the referee’s count at seven the Senator pulls a dazed Hunter back into the ring. The fans are impressed at the sporting gesture as Hunter looks unlikely to have beaten the count on his own; this of course doesn’t prevent the Senator from trying a pin, and Hunter has to delve deep to respond at the 2.5 mark. Pleased as he is with the level of competition, the Senator is ready to end the match, and there’s a rising sound from the crowd as he lines up the Partisan Kick; Hunter staggers up, and the Senator moves – but Hunter ducks it crisply, and the fans cheer loudly as the Senator is greeted with Poetic Justice! Hunter drops, hooks the leg and pins, 1…….2…… kickout! The Senator forcefully frees himself, and now the whole arena reverberates with excited cheers and shouts; this match most certainly is not over yet, and with both competitors tapping into inner reserves, the outcome is anyone’s guess……
The crowd and cameras have trouble keeping up with the blistering pace as Senator and Hunter throw everything including the kitchen sink at one another; suplexes happen in the blink of an eye, there are more chops than are seen at the ACW barbecue, and still neither man looks like being ready to throw in the towel. The Senator does his best to execute the Filibuster, but Hunter won’t let himself be worn down sufficiently and keeps escaping; at one point the crowd is on its feet as Hunter gets the Senator down face first and tries to apply the eighth sin, but the difficulty of setting up the move gives Senator enough time to recover and struggle free before it locks. With sweat pouring from both men, something out of the order is needed, and the first indication comes as Hunter elbows Senator in the head and lifts him into vertical suplex position; he starts to shift for the Magnum Driver, and the Senator has to fight with all his strength to take Hunter off balance and bring the pair of them down before the move completes. They land hard, and Hunter looks to be dizzy; the Senator hauls himself up and the crowd yells as the Senator tries to pull off his rarest and most devastating move, the Victory Driver. The fact that both men have resorted to their match – killing moves is testimony to their combined skill, and the fans hold their breath…… but Hunter has done his research, and as soon as the Senator starts the Brainbuster lift, Hunter flails furiously and the Senator is unable to complete it. With Hunter halfway up, the Senator slams him down, and signals for the Victory Lock instead; the crowd is yelling itself silly as the Senator sets up the move, but just as he shifts into the final lock Hunter rolls the dice, and with all that remains of his strength takes the Senator over into a roll – up. The ref is there at once, and the crowd goes nuts as Hunter, almost by sheer will, manages to hold the Senator’s shoulders to the mat just long enough to secure to 3 count before Senator kicks out. The bell rings, and the pair split apart and lie on the mat.
Philip: Here is your winner……..Hunter!
The fans cheer loudly for the result and for the quality of the encounter. Hunter jumps up, deservedly very pleased at his victory; this doesn’t make him forget his opponent, however, and he assists the Senator to his feet before they shake hands again. He exits the ring and walks to the back, a grin plastered across his face.
Hunter isn’t around long enough to see that the Senator hasn’t left the ring; instead he remains where he is, and some of the more alert crowd members become aware of the new arrival, who has materialised out of the masses at the conclusion of the match.
Only when Alicia and the Senator are face to face do the rest of those present catch on, and things become a little quieter and more tense.
Alicia: I decided to take you up on your suggestion earlier.
The Senator remains calm, but the more astute audience members can sense that he’s already agitated over his match loss, and losing patience rapidly.
Senator: So I see. What do you want?
Alicia: What do I want?
Her voice is almost childlike, and loaded with emotion.
Alicia: What I want is….. resolution. I’ll deal with Angelo next week, but now, now…. I’ll start with you.

The Senator has to use every bit of natural speed in his body to avoid a kick which is easily powerful enough to take his head off. There’s a roar from the crowd as the situation degenerates into a full – on fight; the Senator initially defends himself, but as Alicia unleashes the full force of her anger and plants a boot in his abdomen, his own wrath rises to the surface. Now the pair are rooted to the spot, trading supercharged blows, and the Senator lets his spiteful side come forth…..
Senator: Listen to me, woman….. this is pure folly! Powerful as your emotions are they cannot restore what is lost! And I will not be the punchbag of someone crippled by denial!
He attempts to end the battle with a Filibuster, but Alicia throws herself out of his grasp and lands behind him, smashing a spinning kick into his ribs.
Alicia: Does this feel like the actions of an invalid? I will not let this be the end….. I WILL NOT give up hope, and I will not be silenced - I will cry, no I will scream my convictions to the whole world!
Overwhelmed almost by her feelings, Alicia charges at the Senator; she is immensely strong, but precision is the last thing on her mind. The Senator, now genuinely angry himself, channels his own emotion in a steely manner and counters into a ferocious spinebuster; it almost causes a failure in the ring itself, and the fans shout in alarm as the Senator applies the first stage of the Victory Lock, his own features darkened by cold wrath.
Senator: If you want to scream, Alicia, I shall give you a REAL reason to do so!
He applies maximum force, and Alicia bucks as if she’s just had a huge electric current sent through her…… but she does not cry out, and this just seems to make the Senator even more angry; he finds strength that even he has rarely tapped before. The crowd is shouting now, and the referee appeals desperately to the Senator to let go, but neither the Senator nor Alicia can hear him. Alicia has stopped struggling; she stares, unfocused, resigning silently to the fact that this agony might not ever leave her, but even as this is happening there is something else in her expression, a strange kind of realisation. When she speaks, it’s a whisper, and directed more to herself than anyone on the outside.
Alicia: I understand…. the pain… love… the same…. precious….
Alicia’s words mean little to the few people that hear them; but the tears that begin to flow trigger a fresh surge of sound from the crowd, and the Senator gives a grim flicker of a smile. The referee has had enough and shouts for security…. and then “Lowrider” hits and the crowd goes ballistic. The Senator snaps his head around on instinct, but all is still at the entrance; the crowd becomes disheartened and the Senator is just forming the beginnings of a smirk on his face at not falling for the trick – but then there’s yelling from backstage, and a lacerated Latino bursts through the curtain, making the crowd go even more bananas.
Alicia is still too zoned out to take in what’s going on; the Senator looks shocked as he finally sees Latino, but such is his current state of mind that instead of breaking off, he rolls sideways and transitions the hold into the stage 2 deathlock version of the move. The pain is intense enough to snap Alicia back into the here and now, and she thrashes, sobbing both from physical and emotional strain combined. This causes something to give way inside Latino himself, and he storms to the ring, leaps in and stomps the living hell out of the Senator until he is forced to retreat. Bruises are already rising to the surface of his skin as he rolls out of the ring, and the breaking of the hold also seems to shatter the cruel lens through which he has viewed the world for the past few minutes. Latino yells at him in a mixture of English and Spanish, and even the crowd boos him; this seems to bring home to the Senator what he’s done, and he looks to be displeased with himself as he walks to the back to recover and perhaps try to understand what caused him to react in the way he did.
The EMTs are back again on a busy night, but Latino refuses to let them come near. The camera can’t hear his words as he crouches on one knee next to his fiancée, who is still lying on the mat facing away from him. It takes several seconds before Alicia even turns over, unwilling to believe her own ears, and when she does so there is a long, long moment as the pair look each other in the eyes…….
She raises a hand to his cheek, and when he puts his own over the top of it the moment of realisation arrives. There is a thunderous cheer that drowns out all other sound as they embrace, and Latino pulls Alicia to her feet so that they are both standing, holding one another as if they’ll never let go. After a good few moments they slowly part once more.
Alicia: Oh, Victor….. I love you so, so much. I thought….
Latino: I know, chula, I know…. I’m so sorry. I don’t even know how I got out, the last thing I remember was-
Alicia puts a finger to his lips.
Alicia: It’s not important, not now.
She takes his hand, and smiles.
Alicia: Come on, we’ve taken up enough time here…. your friend BK has some unfinished business of his own, and I think he’s going to get just what he deserves.
Latino shrugs, and the two walk off, hand in hand, to more cheers as the show takes a last commercial break.
