Segment: Flower Power (Credit: ??/Daisy)

Before the next match on the card starts, the Alphatron suddenly lights up, revealing a very sexy image of a spicy hot redhead posing at the beach in a two piece bikini. "Crazy in Love," Beyonce's popular pop song fills the air, and the fans stare in wonder and awe as the same redhead on the screen appears on the ramp. The fans immediately commence cheering, sensing a hefty amount of T & A to be revealed in the near future. The stunning woman skips happily down to the ring, clad in a short black skirt and cute red top. She waves perkily to the cheering fans, her augmented breasts bouncing in time to her skips. The fans are simply mesmerized, and they can't get enough.

Finally, once in the ring, a stage crew quickly slides the buxom young woman a microphone. She brings the mike daintily to her lips and clears her throat, hem, hem, before speaking.

Diva: Hello ACW! My name is Daisy, and I'm so thrilled to be here!

The fans, apparently, are thrilled too. Their cheers are noisy and crude, yelling everything from "T & A!" to "DADDY WANTS SOME MILK!"

Daisy: It's always been my dream to be an ACW Diva! I mean, with talents like these, I was made for the job!

She looks pointedly at her breasts, very obviously augmented. The fans cheer, sensing what's coming up.

Daisy: Let me take this opportunity to tell you my resume. Before arriving at ACW, I was the cover girl of Stuff and Maxim magazines, and I was Playmate of the Year in 2003! But hold up, instead of telling you my impressive career, I think I'm gonna show you!

With that, Daisy tosses her mike over her shoulder and ignores the loud THWUMP and angry protest from the stage hands. Very slowly and very sensuously, Daisy rips her top down the middle, Hulk Hogan style, until her sexy red lingerie becomes visible. She flaunts her stuff expertly, shaking her upper torso for the roaring crowd and dancing to a very corny 80s dance track.

Before the rest of her outfit falls off, "Pomp and Circumstance" abruptly cuts off the dance track, and three figures dressed impeccably in business suits appear on the ramp. Daisy looks up and frowns, folding her arms over her ample chest, wondering who these newcomers are.

The first figure to become clearly visible appears to be bursting from the seams. It's none other than Triple A leader, Ms. Aurelia, flanked by her two officers, Mr. Ash and Mr. Aoyama. Aurelia has a bit of trouble entering the ring, due to her girth and small height, but she manages with the help of Ash and Aoyama. The crowd snickers slightly, and even Daisy's lip curls at the obese woman's ring entrance. Wasting no time, Aurelia marches straight up to Daisy and pulls out a mike.

Aurelia: I'm sorry, dear. But maybe you misunderstood the terms of your contract? It says quite clearly here...She fumbles a bit inside her skirt pocket for a piece of paper...that unauthorized in ring promotions are strictly prohibited.

In actual fact, the contract says nothing of the sort. Daisy, apparently much smarter than she looks, shakes her head and laughs.

Daisy: Hahaha, no. You see, I remember Ginger telling me quite clearly that whenever I felt that the fans needed a little...tender love and care...I could always come to the ring to bring some Daisy joy!

She giggles and bounces up and down. The fans pop loudly for her in appreciation. Aurelia is not pleased, however, and her sweet disposition is quickly melting.

Aurelia: Very nice. Now, please put your clothes back on and head backstage, dear. Society does not value whores like you.

Daisy is shocked. She is visibly hurt, and the fans angrily yell out obscenities at Ms. Aurelia and the impassive Triple A. Aurelia glares at Daisy, who seems to shrink in fear. The fans back her up and encourage her, clapping and chanting her name.

Daisy: I will not! You're just some old fart who likes to tell people what to do! Well you can't push me around, Ms. Aurelia, and I will not stand for this!

Rolling her eyes, Aurelia murmurs something out of the microphone's earshot to Mr. Ash. Daisy stands immobile, impressed by her own courage, but scared nonetheless.

Aurelia: You're right, Daisy. We can't force you out of the ring. It's against the rules, and Triple A always follows the rules. However, one thing Triple A is legally entitled to do is cut your salary by 10% every second you stay in this ring...starting now!

The crowd is furious; Daisy scampers out of the ring in record time. However, she stands proudly on the ramp and turns her back to Triple A before shaking off her black mini skirt, revealing a very small black thong. Aurelia gasps, though those closest to the ring can make out Mr. Aoyama's pants stretching out an inch. Daisy merely laughs and skips backstage, slapping the hands of the fans nearest her. Aurelia is still furious, and Mr. Aoyama and Mr. Ash try calming her down. Triple A leave the ring, muttering angrily, hoping to get backstage quickly to further reprimand Daisy.

However, one nearby fan takes careful aim and chucks his cup full of Mountain Dew at Aurelia. She shrieks as the soda splatters her white blouse, and Ash and Aoyama quickly shield her from hot dogs, pretzels, and Krispy Kremes as they hurriedly waddle backstage, amidst hearty laughter and flying sausages, guaranteed to give the Janatorial staff nightmares.

Match 7: Main Event Pt 1: ACW World Title Match
Hunter vs. Scott Andrews

The first of ACW’s two main event matches tonight is imminent; Philip is already in the ring.

Philip: This match is set for one fall, and it is for the ACW World Championship! Introducing first, from Denver, Colorado – the Challenger, the Scarlet Assassin Scott Andrews!

”Stronghold” hits, and Scott comes out at a run, coming down to the ring and sliding in even as pyros are still going off. He’s pumped up, and raises his arms in the air, getting the crowd worked as he prepares for his match.

Then the arena darkens, and “Ex Nihilo” plays, heralding Hunter’s arrival.

Philip: And his opponent, from Rochester, New York… he is a member of the Senatorial Stable, and the reigning ACW World Champion…. Andrew Hunter!

Hunter walks out, and holds his belt up to the booing fans, before walking to the ring. He gives the belt a rub before handing it to the referee; the ref holds the belt aloft, and then passes it to the outside before calling for the bell.

Bell Rings.

The Scarlet Assassin’s recent form in ACW has been superb, and the fans are not in the least surprised to see him being offered this opportunity to take on ACW’s current top superstar. And with Hunter coming directly from a particularly grueling match at Ragnarok, Scott knows that it will almost certainly be some time before conditions are as much in his favor again. This isn’t to say that Hunter is looking weak – if anything, any fatigue he might still be feeling is offset by the general improvement in his condition that has resulted from his PPV preparations, and he cuts an imposing figure as he and Scott move in close and lock up.

The two men test one another out – there is little movement for three or four seconds, and then Scott starts to get the better traction, and pushes Hunter back a few steps. Hunter raises his game and puts some more effort in, reversing the direction of travel, but as they near the other set of ropes Scott abruptly breaks off the hold and sends Hunter into them. Hunter is caught out, reaches the ropes and rebounds directly into a smart jumping knee from Scott; the fans cheer as Hunter staggers back into the ropes, and Scott presses his advantage to the full, landing a stream of forearm blows until Hunter recovers sufficiently to stand back up and defend himself. He pushes forward from the ropes, and then gives Scott exactly the same treatment that he just doled out, sending him into them at close range. As Scott comes hurtling back, Hunter uses a sit out Arm drag to send Scott to the mat; but Scott surprises everyone by pushing back up on to his feet, and then flipping himself back over Hunter, pulling his foe’s arm around into an armbar while Hunter is still sitting on the canvas. Scott quickly restrains Hunter’s other arm; Hunter grimaces, but gives the referee a nasty look when he enquires as to Hunter’s condition. Using the power in his legs, Hunter forces his way slowly back to a standing position, and then kicks sharply backward into Scott’s knee. The pain makes Scott involuntarily loosen his grip just a fraction, and Hunter breaks free, whirls around, and hits the Dynamite out of nowhere. He pins, ignoring the catcalls from the fans, but Scott kicks out at the 2 count.

Both men are up on their feet in a flash, and they exchange strong forearm blows until Scott gets in a sneaky kick to the gut that puts a brake on Hunter’s offense. An arm wrench and kick to the face has Hunter reeling, and Scott notes their proximity to one of the corners. Never one to pass up the opportunity for a spectacular move, Scott races to the corner, gets up on the turnbuckle and performs his DDP-style “gun” taunt, lining Hunter up and then launching himself into the Heat Seeker (Front Flip diving neckbreaker). It looks powerful, and Scott proves this by pinning Hunter for a solid 2; the fans, who are enjoying this more with every second, cheer loudly as Scott gets back up and plays to them, taunting Hunter and making a belt gesture around his waist. This seems to trigger off a wave of anger in the champion, and Hunter shows that he does not intend to be separated from his “beloved” by charging at Scott and clotheslining him down roughly. Scott bounces back up, but the clothesline is just a prelude to Hunter’s Elbow driver. The crowd boos Hunter as it connects, and Hunter just smirks, making the cover for the 1,2 – Scott kicks free, the crowd goes wild, and now Hunter looks just the tiniest bit worried as Scott nips back on to his feet. He’s breathing hard, for Hunter is testing him – but so far, Scott has stood up to his opponent, and he takes up a fighting stance, as if challenging Hunter to try and take him down. Hunter is nothing if not level-headed, but everyone makes errors once in a while, and this is one of those rare times, as Hunter makes a rash move forward, trying to set Scott up for the Floyd Kick. Scott takes the first blow to the gut and drops to his knees – but as Hunter turns away, creating the space he needs for his run-in, Scott hops back up on to his feet, and Hunter runs straight into a flapjack. The SMACK as Hunter hits face down is painfully loud, and Scott makes the crowd roar as he tries to set up the Scarlet Fever. Hunter in desperation rolls sideways and grabs the ropes, making Scott curse – but everyone knows that he was genuinely close to trapping the champion, and the crowd is appropriately enough reaching fever pitch as Scott yells at Hunter, determined to make this his crowning day in ACW…

[Alicia "Atomic" Kitsune]

Hunter’s world has shrunk down to the confines of the ACW ring; all thoughts of the future are wiped from his mind, and he exists purely in the here and now, forced into this position by a truly worthy opponent. Scott’s heart too is racing; he’s got Hunter worked up, and now he has to find out if he can handle what he’s created, as Hunter storms forward, and blasts Scott repeatedly with blows from fists and feet. Scott defends well, but can’t find a chance to turn things around, and one slip sees Hunter pull off a snap suplex in the blink of an eye; with adrenalin surging, Hunter nips up, grabs Scott again and hits the Land Mine Dolphin. A few fans are heard shouting “APM!” and Hunter goes for the move; it hits, but Scott throws his hand behind his head to cushion the impact, and the crowd and Hunter are shocked when the resulting count only gets a 2.5. Hunter is visibly sweating as he gets back up to a standing position; Scott is starting to tire, but the thought of gold drives him on, and as he and Hunter move toward one another, Scott speeds up, and leaps into his Head Shot (Shin Saikyou high kick). Hunter takes a leaf out of Scott’s own book, and protects himself with his arm – but the impact is still crunching, and Hunter collapses to the mat as the crowd goes berserk. Scott drops and covers, eyes shut, as if praying, the ref counts 1…..2…thr – Hunter kicks at the last possible moment and the fans continue to go nuts. Scott thumps the canvas in frustration, and misses Hunter rolling back to his feet; Hunter gives Scott just the briefest of glances before lifting him up in a sweeping motion, and nailing the Volcano driver. The crowd screams again, and Hunter looks exhausted as he makes the definitive pin for the ref to count the 1…2….-

But no! Scott unbelievably kicks out of Hunter’s desperation finisher, and there is absolutely no disguising Hunter’s astonishment. He stands up and watches as Scott staggers back to his feet – he’s barely able to stand, but the smile on his face is as if he just won the lottery. He raises his arms, and then makes a sudden dash forward for a second Head Shot – Hunter is stunned, and it’s as if everything happens in slow motion as Scott closes, takes off, and….

…misses. Hunter ducks the move this time, and as Scott lands, Hunter lifts him up and fires the Shotgun at full power. In his tired state, Scott can’t withstand another impact of such strength; the crowd cries out, hoping against hope for a kickout, but this time Scott lies still. Hunter is almost slumped in the pin, as the referee counts the 1,2,3.

Philip: Here is your winner, and still ACW World Champion…Hunter!

Hunter gets up without another thought and grabs his title once more. He looks at it for a moment and smiles, happy that it is once again in his possession. He was close on many occasions to losing it, but at the end of the day he still has it. He looks over at Scott, who is lying on the ground silently. Hunter continues looking at him and grins once more. He then turns around...only to see the Natural Born Killer running down the ramp. NBK slides into the ring and raises the chair he happens to have in his hands high above his head. Hunter takes a defensive stance as Scott gets to his feet and watches the scene unfold. The arena is quiet as the fans start to wonder if NBK will really go to such drastic heights, and they simultaneously ponder for whom they should cheer. And then it happens in the blink of an eye...NBK drops the chair. Hunter laughs as Scott throws him a microphone that he retrieved a moment earlier.

Hunter: We had you going, didn't we? Did you really think that NBK would attack me? ME, of all people?

NBK and Scott laugh as Hunter poses with his title for the now booing fans. You know that difficulty they had, figuring out who to boo? Yeah, well, they don't have much of a problem with that now.

Hunter: But now you may wonder, why? Why did NBK run down here in the first place? Well, call it a swerve.

He smiles once more as NBK and Scott nod.

Hunter: Call it...a revolutionary step. Yes, that sounds good. Because, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you to glance upon the newest members of the Senatorial Stable...

He looks at his new comrades.

Hunter: ...the COLD BLOODED KILLERS!

The fans are shocked, though many of them could have figured it out by this moment. Hunter drops the mic and shakes hands with his new teammates, then grabs their arms and raises them in celebration. The fans continue to boo as the new members and their leader simply laugh it off.

Fade out to commercials.

OOC: Ending events credit to Hunter.

Segment: B for bitch. (Credit: Rena)

As the show comes back, we see Charlotte King with Rena in the interview area.

Charlotte: Rena, can I ask a few questions?

Rena: I guess.

Charlotte: Why did you attack both Rawt and Red with a chair?

Rena: I taught them a lesson, did I not?

Charlotte: I suppose so… but he did end up with the win.

Rena: Technically, by rules…however he did not have the chance to pin me. 1. 2. 3.

Charlotte: Is that why you hit him? To avoid getting pinned?

Rena: Hell no! You think he could beat me!? I’m a goddamn dominant superstar in ACW. He’s an amateur, a rookie! How could you think that someone with that caliber could defeat me, Rena Matheson.

Charlotte: I was just-

Rena: Save it. I’m done with this interview. I hope you get fired you dumb bitch.

Charlotte: Excuse me?

Rena: You heard me.

Rena smiles and slaps Charlotte across the face.

Rena: And don’t you EVER question me again. Do I make myself clear?

Charlotte is silent, holding her now reddened cheek. Rena lets out a small chuckle and walks away.

Charlotte: Bitch.

Rena: What did you say?

Rena swung around and began moving towards Charlotte, backing her into a corner.

Charlotte: I, I, I-

…: Don’t worry about her. She hasn’t had sex in awhile.

Rena turned to see him. He was standing there with that stupid smile slapped on his face. How long was he gone for, she could not remember.

Rena: Davey…I-

Davey: Don’t worry. I know what you’ve been up to. Tell Tyler I said hi.

Rena: But, he-

Davey: Save it.

He moved past her and took Charlotte by the arm. He looked at Rena, then back at Charlotte.

Davey: How about we go get a bite to eat after the show? I’m starving.

Charlotte: oh…okay…sure.

Rena growled, and Davey laughed as he moved away, leaving Rena and Charlotte alone once again.

Rena: Like hell you’ll be going out with him!

Charlotte: What?

Rena grabbed Charlotte by the hair and threw her onto a table, pouring hot coffee all over the place. Charlotte began violently kicking and screaming, only to find ACW officials hurrying towards the two feuding women.

Rena: HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH!? YOU WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN, DO YOU UNDERSTAND! IF I SEE YOU EVEN TALK TO HIM YOU’RE DEAD!

Charlotte: Shove you it psycho bitch!

Rena: WHAT!? Oh hell no!

She pushed herself off the men restraining her, and jumped on top of Charlotte, smashing the back of Charlotte’s head off the ground. Charlotte went unconscious from the immense pain she endured through hitting her head off the pavement. Rena wiped off her face and walked away as if nothing had happened while officials helped Charlotte regain consciousness.

((fade out.))

Match 8: Main Event Pt 2: ACW Tag Title Match - No-DQ
AK & RDK vs. Jake Cheng & Jonny Spade (Credit: WD)

The crowd is still reeling from the events of the penultimate match… surely there are no more shocks to come? With ACW you never can tell, and so anticipation remains stratospheric as Philip enters the ring for the final time.

Philip: The following match is part 2 of our double Main Event this evening, is scheduled for one fall, and is for the ACW Tag Team Championships!

’Bodies’ by Drowning Pool hits the PA system, and the fans start to boo as the lights in the arena fade down, so that the only light comes from the alphatron. Suddenly several spotlights flash around the arena, before the lights turn back on and Jake – with the Light-Heavyweight title - and Jonny are seen at the top of the ramp. They slowly walk down the ramp, ignoring the jeers of the fans before they reach the bottom of the ramp. Jake slides through the bottom of the ropes and Jonny goes in between the top and second rope, as they await their opponents.

Philip: Standing in the ring, weighing at a combined weight of 441 lbs…representing the Untouchables, Jake Cheng and Jonny Spade!

The fans boo again as they hear their names being called out, but the number one contender’s for the tag titles stand, both determined to win the belts for the Untouchables.

Philip: And one half of the tag team champions, from London, England…Alicia ‘Atomic’ Kitsune!

The fans go bonkers as ‘I’m a Bomb’ by Natasha Bedingfield hits and Alicia Kitsune jogs out through the curtains. She’s not exactly got a look of approval on her face though, and still looks a little weary from the titanic battle at Ragnarok. Nonetheless, she knows the two challengers like a book as she walks down the entrance ramp, clapping hands with some of the fans before waiting at the bottom of the ramp, obviously not looking for what happened at Heatwave last year.

Philip: And the other half of the tag team champions, from Yellowknife, Canada, weighing at 270 lbs…THE MACHOMAN RANDY DALLAS KANYON!!!

’Macho Man’ hits and the roof blows off the arena for the cheers as RDK walks out the curtain, holding the tag title in his hand. RDK marches down the ramp as the lights fade and blue and red lights flash around the arena. He stops at the bottom of the ramp, discussing something to AK as the two turn to the ring, and run, sliding inside. Jake and Jonny waste no time in starting the match, darting forward with an attempt to take their opponents out, as RAF calls for the bell.

Bell rings.

Jake and Jonny get the upper hand on their opponents, with Jake clubbing AK in the back and Jonny delivering punch to the chest of RDK, but soon the tides change. AK pushes Jake away, just as RDK blocks a punch from Jonny, and begins giving him open hand punches to the face in the corner, as the fans go nuts. AK meanwhile copies RDK to an extent, although getting Jake at the ropes, and delivering a powerful kick to the chest as Jake flies over the top rope. AK tries to follow Jake to the outside but RAF is quick to intervene and send her to her corner, which she obliges. Meanwhile RDK continues punching Jonny in the face, but stops and whips him into the corner. Jonny hits it and stumbles backwards, right into a back drop. RDK lifts him up and plants the move, And jumps off staring at the crowd, as he gets another pop. Jake at this point climbs up to his corner and watches RDK, making a title belt gesture around his waist. RDK stops and looks at Jake, but before he can do anything about it, Jonny dives up and clobbers RDK in the back with an elbow. RDK flies down to an all-fours position, and Jonny runs at the ropes, bouncing back and planting RDK in the face with a knee. Jonny rolls RDK over and makes the cover, but to the delight of AK and the fans, RDK kicks out after two.

Jonny places his arms on his hips, not too content with RDK kicking out of his pin, and so grabs RDK by the neck, choking him with two hands. RAF however steps right in with a five count, and Jonny lets go after 3, looking rather intimidated at RAF. Jonny just climbs to his feet though and tags in Jake, who jumps into the ring. He jumps down to the floor immediately and starts delivering punches to the face of RDK, but again RAF jumps in to save the day, forcing Jake to stop his attack. Jake stands up, turning around and making a face at AK. He turns back around and allows RDK to climb back to his feet, before running at him. He tries to hit a clothesline but RDK manages to duck it, and Jake goes flying at the ropes. He bounces back to RDK, who plants him with a Lou Thesz Press & Knuckle. RDK gives Jake six hard, well-deserved punches to the cranium, and jumps off, pointing to AK which gets a pop. RDK tags in AK and she jumps into the ring. AK, who has a familiar style of wrestling to Jake, stands in the corner and waits for the Light-Heavyweight champion to climb to his feet. From there Jake runs at AK, but again falls victim to an attack, this time a slightly sloppy but still decently done monkey flip. She looks around at Jonny, seeing that he’s in no distance to break the cover, before making to pin on Jake: 1……2…Kickout by Jake.

AK slowly climbs to her feet, a little annoyed at Jake’s kick out. She lifts Jake up and attempts to through him at the ropes, however Jake keeps hold of AK’s arm and the momentum allows him to whip her at the ropes. She bounces off and darts back to Jake, who boots her in the gut before hooking her neck, jumping up and hitting a jumping tornado DDT. AK ends up on her back and Jake slowly climbs to his feet. He runs off the ropes and hits a leg drop, but AK manages to rolls out the way. Jake lands badly- particularly on his tailbone – as AK gets to her feet, and gives Jake a stiff kick to the back. Jake screams in pain, and AK smiles, knowing she’s found Jake’s weak spot. She hits another kick, and Jake again screams, holding his head with his hands. AK then runs back off the ropes, rushing forward and hitting an extremely power kick – with such power that Alan Shearer would be proud of it – and the force causes Jake to jump up with reaction. He holds the bottom of his back as he sprints around the ring, but AK soon puts a stop to it with a dropkick to the back. AK then makes the cover, but again Jake manages to kick out after the count of two. AK shakes her head with a smile, lifting Jake up by the head. But Jake shoves AK’s hand away, not needing her ‘assistance’ as he takes her down with a clothesline.

[Alicia "Atomic" Kitsune]

Jake then gets to his feet, and makes a needed tag to Jonny, who steps through the ropes. Jonny walks over to AK, who’s on all fours, trying to shrug off Jake’s clothesline. Jonny lifts her up to her feet and throws her at the ropes. Jonny grabs her and lifts her up, trying to hit a Spinebuster but AK responds with a knee strike to the face. Jonny bounces up, stumbling as he tries to keep on his feet, and AK hits him with a hard spinning wheel kick. AK needs to make the tag, and tries to get over to her partner but Jonny manages to grab her foot at the final moment, denying her the chance to make the tag. She tries to shove Jonny off with her free foot, but when Jonny grabs that foot as well, AK is in trouble. Jonny climbs to his feet, still holding the two feet and drags AK to the centre of the ring. He lifts her up from behind and hits the Killswitch, and jumps to his feet. From there he grabs AK by the feet and turns around, trying to lock in the Haas of Pain. He manages to do so with success, and almost instantly AK is screaming, trying to grab the ropes. The situation gets rather desperate rather quickly however and RDK runs into the ring, clocking Jonny from behind with an elbow. RAF is quick to lecture RDK, who quickly steps back to the outside, knowing that though he shouldn’t have done what he did, it means everything to keep the tag belts.

Jonny meanwhile tags in Jake, who slides into the ring, with a grin on his face. He lifts AK to her feet, and throws her at the ropes. Jake takes her down with a roundhouse kick, and quickly lifts her up, throwing her at the ropes again. Jake bends his head down, looking for the back body drop but AK reverses it into a Hurricarana. Jake flies backwards and the fans cheer as AK slowly crawls towards her corner. RDK starts a clap as AK slowly nudges towards the ropes, and makes the tag which sends the arena nuts. RDK climbs into the ring, and takes the rising Jake back to the ground with a powerful clothesline. Jonny uses his instincts, jumping into the ring but RDK sees him coming, and plants him with several open hand punches. Jonny flies to the ground after about five of them, and the fans cheer as RDK does a taunt to Jonny, but fails to realise Jake sneaking up behind him. Jake grabs RDK by the arms, spinning him around and hitting the Unprettier. The fans boo as RDK’s head is drilled to the ground, and Jake slowly rolls over him, with slight relief. He makes the cover, expecting the three count: 1……2……Kickout by the Macho Man! The fans cheer, but Jake is irate at the referee, immediately jumping up and confronting him. Now most refs would just allow Jake to shout at them, but not RAF. He just looks at Jake, and shouts something so loud at Jake that he almost cowers in fear in the corner.

Jake just stands back up, trying not to show weakness, but his back is clearly giving him hell to the point that he has no option but to tag in Jonny. Jonny climbs through the ropes and lifts RDK up to his feet. Jonny tries to whip RDK at the ropes, but being superior in height and weight, RDK reverses the throw into one of his own. He then tries to Jabroni Buster Jonny, but the former multiple tag team champion manages to avoid the move, before hitting his own Spinebuster. Jonny falls back to the ground, but avoids the referee’s count by rolling over to the ropes and slowly climbing up to his feet. Jonny gets up and rests in the turnbuckle, waiting for RDK to get up. Once he does so, Jonny tries to hit an S-Drop 3 (Rock Bottom into Backbreaker) but RDK elbows his way out of the Rock Bottom, before hitting the move himself! But RDK takes too much out of himself at the same time, and is unable to pin his Canadian counterpart. So with both members down, the referee starts a count:

1

2

3

4

5

6

RDK slowly creeps to the ropes, but it doesn’t look like he’ll make it in time. Jonny, meanwhile is still flat-out cold, lying on the mats.

7

8

RDK grabs a hold of the ropes, as Jonny slowly comes to, turning one shoulder and trying to grab the ropes nearby.

[Alicia "Atomic" Kitsune]

RDK manages to pull himself up to his feet, but falls back down. However as he does so, AK makes a blind tag and the fans cheer as AK enters the ring. Jonny tries to tag in Jake, but isn’t able to as AK plants him with an elbow to the back of the head. AK then lifts Jonny up and tries whipping him into the corner, but Jonny reverses the whip, following AK. But AK climbs each turnbuckle before flipping over Jonny, grabbing him by the head as she falls and drilling it to the ground. She then climbs to her feet, proudly smiling as she lifts Jonny up. She throws Jonny at the ropes, and this time succeeds in doing so. She dropkicks Jonny in the face, with not much power but enough to make him stumble around and landing between the ropes. Alicia smiles at this point, climbing the top turnbuckle and walking along the ropes, setting up the Kitsune kick. She gets perpendicular to Jonny, performing a handstand on the ropes, showing great balance, then flipping down and giving Jonny a good two- footed kick to the face. Jonny flies out to the centre of the ring, but AK with her hands still grasping the ropes, manages to acrobatically flip back onto the ropes, and jumps over to the turnbuckle. She attempts to go for the Ground Zero (450 Splash) but as she jumps, Jonny slides under the ropes and AK crashes to the ground.

Jonny meanwhile stumbles around on the outside, trying to catch his breath back. But shortly the Macho Man RDK is there, and starts beating Jonny down with forearm smashes to the face. Jonny tries to resist them for as long as possible, and for good reason too, as shortly Jake sneaks up behind RDK and cracks him over the head with the ring bell. RDK falls, and Jake and Jonny hold their arms up in the air. But the fact that they’re facing away from the ring is their biggest mistake, as Alicia Kitsune climbs to her feet, bounces off the ropes furthest from the two, and dives over the ropes. Edison screams ‘SUICIDE PLAAAAAAAAANCHAAAAAAAAA!!!’ as AK takes the two Untouchables members down. With all four members out of it outside the ring, RAF makes the ring-out count. As he gets to about 4, AK climbs to her feet, and slowly stumbles around. She manages to keep composure though and slides into the ring. Jake then climbs up to his feet, but knowing he’s not the legal man, he has to get Jonny – who’s pretty much kissing the floor – into the ring. Jake shouts at him, but it fails to work. RAF’s count gets to ‘7’, and Jake panics. He tries lifting, but Jonny is too heavy. In an act of desperation, Jake grabs the Spanish announcer’s ‘special brew’ (mixed with herbs, spices, and hot chillies) and pours it over the head of Jonny. Jonny soon reacts the moment the stuff touches his mouth, jumping up and sliding into the ring.

From there, Jonny is panicking. He’s running around the ring, mouth burning and trying to get rid of it. Jake throws him a water bottle however and Jonny dowses himself with the water. Jonny looks a little more relaxed, but not for long as AK taps him on the shoulder. Jonny slowly and rather worriedly turns around, and AK smiles at him, before lifting him up and hitting an Atomic Drop. Jonny bounces straight off her knee and AK takes him down with a swinging Neckbreaker. Jake then enters the ring, and quickly runs at AK, throwing her into the corner with an arm drag variation. Jake smiles as he runs at AK, attempting to hit the Bronco Buster. However AK moves out the way and Jake hits whatever he has (very little) on the padding. AK slowly climbs to her feet, lifting Jake up and grabbing his head, pointing it downwards as she kicks and performs a Monkey Flip. Jake lands parallel to Jonny, and AK slowly climbs to her feet. She then notices RDK climbing the turnbuckle next to Jonny from the outside, and AK looks at him, smiling. She then climbs the turnbuckle next to Jake, and she reaches the top at the same time as RDK. From there, she looks at RDK, who looks back, and they smile at each other as they jump in the air hitting simultaneous Moonsaults onto their fallen opponents.

The fans are sure that this is the end of the match, but as the two get within two feet of their opponents, both Jonny and Jake amazingly roll out of the way. AK and RDK land with a crash and the fans’ cheers to turn to screams, especially as RDK bounces off his jaw. Jake and Jonny both leave the ring to catch their breath, whilst RAF, for once, is confused what to do. Instead he just allows the action to go ahead, as Jonny and Jake re-enter the ring. They both pick up their opponents at the same time, and both throw a punch which are both blocked. RDK then throws his own punch on Jonny, whilst AK hits a powerful kick to Jake’s side. RDK continues punching Jonny at the ropes, and bounces off the ropes, hitting Jonny over the ropes with a clothesline. RDK follows him to the outside, whilst AK continues kicking Jake in the sides. She tries to whip Jake but Jake reverses it, and jumps off the ropes, trying to plant AK with a clothesline. But AK sees it coming, and instead grabs Jake by the head, jumping onto the turnbuckle and hitting the Fox Flip (Acid Drop). On the outside, meanwhile Jonny and RDK continue exchanging punches, but RDK gets the upper hand. He punches Jonny several times, the final one sending Jonny flying over the Spanish Announcer’s table.

RDK then removes the monitors, and the fans cheer as he gets on the table with Jonny. He slowly lifts Jonny up, machos up and grabs Jonny around the neck. He signals for the Macho Slam, but as he lifts it Jonny boots RDK in the gut and RDK drops him. Jonny then lifts RDK up for the Jonormous Slam, but RDK manages to struggle out of it. He turns Jonny around, and gives him a giant Rock Bottom right through the table! The fans go nuts as the table implodes with such force, leaving the two lying on the floor. Cutting back to the ring, AK gets to her feet, having just hit the Fox Flip. She looks at Jake, and then the turnbuckle, and smiles. She climbs the turnbuckle, and we know that she’ll be going for the Ground Zero 450 Splash. But suddenly there’s a loud roar from the crowd, but it’s a rather negative roar. AK chooses not to listen to the fans, assuming they’re just making a noise to cheer her on as she attempts to maintain balance on the top rope. But the camera does turn to the ramp…

…to see none of than ‘The Welsh Dragon’ Dan White run down to the ring. As AK manages to get onto two feet on the turnbuckle and about to jump, WeDrag pulls down on the ropes. AK falls, and although she doesn’t feel pain like a male would, it still causes a scream and jeers from the fans. AK feels her tailbone with pain and tries to climb back onto two feet, but fails to do so as WeDrag grabs hold of one of her legs, holding it down. AK tries to struggle away, and manages to kick WeDrag in the face, resulting in him letting go of the leg. However as she does this, Jake manages to climb to his feet. As AK thinks she’s gotten WeDrag of her, Jake jumps onto the turnbuckle, hitting her in the head with a punch before lifting her up into the Mandate of Heaven, and hitting the move (Pepsi Plunge/Elevated Pedigree). The fans turn to RDK in an attempt to see someone save the match, and then to the ramp, but there’s nobody. All they can hope for is that AK kicks out of the pain as Jake makes the cover:

1…


2…

The fans hold their breath, hoping and expecting AK’s arm to leap up in the air.

3. It doesn’t, and the fans miserably slump to their seats as Jake unleashes a victory roar. Philip, who’s still in awe at such a brilliant tag team contest, stands up to announce the result.

Philip: Ladies and gentlemen, your winners…AND NEW ACW Tag Team Champions, Jake Cheng and Jonny Spade.

AK slowly rolls out the ring as Dan White enters, holding Jake’s Light-Heavyweight title. The referee hands Jake and Jonny the tag belts, and all three Untouchables hold up the three belts, to a booing crowd. Jake and Jonny then look at Dan, who gives each of them a hug to show he’s still aligned with them.

AK slowly climbs to her feet, as RDK comes over to see how she is. It’s a moment or two before she can look at him.

AK: Randy…

RDK puts a hand on her shoulder.

RDK: It’s ok, Sista. We did everything we could.

The sting of losing is always painful; you never develop an immunity to that particular poison. RDK and AK give one another a consoling hug, and look up at Jonny and Jake. RDK even manages a small smile as he sees Jake parading his lightweight and tag belts simultaneously. He gestures to an assistant for a mic, unseen by most of the crowd and those in the ring so that there’s a collective jump when he speaks.

RDK: BRUDAHS!...

Everyone stops, eager to see what RDK has to say.

RDK: …..Congratulations, you got the best of us tonight. But we owe you one… especially you, WD! And you KNOW the Macho Man and the Atomic One make good on their debts! So don’t get too cocky about your win, brudahs! OOOOOOOOOOH YEAH!

The crowd pops loudly as AK and RDK head to the back. The Untouchables maintain their pretence of not caring, but inside they know that the challengers to their newly won crowns won’t allow themselves to fall victim to the same trick. It’s going to be even harder to hold the belts than it was to win them… but for now, the three enjoy the moment, showing off their gold as the scene fades out…

Meltdown is officially over; the crowd is dispersing, and the roster and crew are also starting to make their way home. Cars are on the move in the parking lot, and several sets of headlights play over the asphalt as the back door to the arena opens up.

AK holds the door open for Latino, who is being enthusiastically pulled along by a rapidly growing Al Pacino; he’s developing into a fine specimen of a Pitbull. She carries a travel basket which reveals an occasional reflected flash of green from Richard Parker’s eyes, as she takes him home with her over the weekend.

Husband and wife walk side by side toward their vehicle on the other side of the lot; Latino puts his arm around AK, who leans her head against his shoulder for a moment with a sigh.

AK: It just never stops, does it? I thought it was tough before Ragnarok, but now… Torak’s obsession with you gets worse by the day, LaRocha’s back on the scene, and to top it all… the blasted Untouchables are back up to full strength.

Latino: Don’t let it get to you, Mami. We’ve got one another, and RDK won’t let you down, titles or no titles. Heck, even BK’s making himself useful.

They both laugh, and then have to pause for a few moments as Pacino investigates a lamp post. Latino chides his dog in Spanish and the little party gets underway again.

AK: Yeah, I suppose I ought to count my blessings. It just gets on my nerves… very time I think I’ve got the measure of things, people stick their oars in and… aaaaarrgh! It drives me up the wall! Bloody Torak, bloody NBK, bloody Dan bloody White! What ever happened to “Football Hooliganism is my true calling?” Why couldn’t he just have sodding well stayed in London like he claimed-

Latino is opening the central locking system of their car, so it’s a second or two before he realizes that AK has stopped in mid-sentence. Automatically he tenses, looking and listening for any threat – but instead just sees AK staring into space.

Latino: Mami, are you all right?

AK nods very slowly.

AK: ……….Yes, I am. Thanks for asking.

Latino says nothing, but gives her a quizzical look.

AK: That’s it, Victor. London. Hooligans. Headhunters, in fact. Well, ex-Headhunters, but that’s by the by.

She moves around the car, puts Richard Parker on the back seat, and then retrieves her mobile phone from the glovebox, where it’s been carefully concealed so as to avoid the attentions of Triple A and their luddite tendencies. She scrolls through the long list of stored numbers until she finds the one she’s looking for, close to the bottom.

AK: Tonight is going to be the last time anyone tries to play the numbers game with either of us, Victor. I’m going to get us some protection.

Latino: But I put a fresh packet in the drawer by the bed on Tuesday!

AK: No, not that kind of protection.

She smiles as she looks at the number on her cellphone screen. Above it is a simple 3 letter word…. “Ron”.

AK: I think it’s time I invited the lads over for a nice working holiday…

Alicia gets into the car as Latino finishes loading Pacino into the back, and then takes up the driver’s position. The car pulls away, a faint sound of a dialing tone coming from within.

ACW’s “dysfunctional family” is expanding… but can the various factions co-exist, or will things simply continue to escalate?

Can Predator forge a grand title reign on top of his victory? And can Jonny and Jake do the same with their new titles?

What are Triple A’s real motives for “assisting” ACW?

And how will RDK and Santiago’s alignment develop?

Tune in to Warfare for more exciting developments…..

Fade to Black.
