The opening shot of the show pans around the sold – out arena; the crowd is cheering and waving like a bunch of ADHD sufferers who have had their Ritalin withdrawn. The ring has a spiffy new cover in regal purple and gold colours in honour of the occasion, and Philip is already in place to announce the first match. He waits, however, and the titantron flickers into life, showing a shot of the backstage area……….
Backstage the place is in a state of organized chaos; packing cases are scattered about in various states of readiness for transportation, and crew members are rushing here and there trying to get things in order. In the middle of it all stands a harassed – looking Chairman Gingerdude; the most striking aspect of his appearance is the plaster cast on his right arm. Ginger has a stack of paper tucked under his uninjured limb, and he gives a deep sigh as he looks at the maelstrom of activity.
Ginger: Why, oh why did we ever agree to do 2 PPVS in the space of 72 hours!? We’ve got a five star show to put out here, and then we’ve got to get everyone and everything down to Memphis in time for Monday night! This isn’t doing my blood pressure any good at all……..
Ginger’s phone rings, and he attempts to get it out while holding on to his paperwork. This is 0% successful, and Ginger huffs and lets the papers fall to the ground as he answers the call.
Ginger: Hello? Oh, Hi Tug………everything ok?................what do you mean, we’ve got 10,000 people already queuing? Well they’ll just have to rough it………yes I’m sure the authorities are worried about the parking situation……..look, I’ll leave Ridley a note, I think he’s driving down right after his match is finished, perhaps Pain Inc can warm up with some crowd control.
An assistant picks up the papers and holds out a pen to Ginger for some signatures. Ginger tucks the phone between his head and shoulder so he can write, albeit with difficulty in his other hand from normal.
Ginger: Have the military OKed those choppers for shifting the LSOH cage? Yes, I submitted the flight plan to local air traffic control weeks ago.
In the background, amongst all the other activity, AK and Michael Kross move into the shot. It’s impossible to hear what they’re saying to each other, but AK points to a large box. Kross looks concerned, but heads over to it and pulls out a long 2 by 4 plank. A few more words are exchanged, and then Kross shrugs and promptly smashes the plank into the side of AK’s head, breaking it in two in a shower of splinters. AK staggers back a couple of steps, straightens up, gives Kross a grin and a thumbs – up sign…and then keels over into a stack of boxes, leaving her feet sticking up in the air. Ginger turns around and rolls his eyes with a “give me strength…….” expression.
Ginger: I told you two, do that outside! God, it’s like working with six year olds…….
AK (shouting from the debris): I’m fine……..I do all my own stunts!
To prove it, AK extracts herself from the boxes and walks away (albeit on a somewhat erratic vector) out of shot. Ginger puts his hand over his eyes and finishes his call.
Ginger: Ok, so I’ll see you tomorrow morning…..assuming the talent has managed to avoid a trip to the emergency room before we even get to KOTDM……..
Ginger switches off his phone and is about to leave, but then V3 and RDK walk up to him.
Ginger: Can I help you two?
RDK: You sure can, Bruda! V3 and I have been discussing our match tonight, and we think it just needs that little extra something.
Ginger: On top of it being a Hell in a Cell Iron man match? Are you two all right in the head?
V3: I know it’s short notice, Mr. Chairman…….but we’d appreciate it if you would allow us to add a TLC stipulation.
Ginger looks at them as if they’re 2 bulbs short of a lighttube log cabin, and gives a little shake of his head.
Ginger: Oh all right……..have it your way.
RDK: OOOOOHH YEAH!
Ginger gives RDK the “don’t push it” glare, and RDK shuts up. V3 smiles and nods to Ginger and the two walk away.
Ginger: I’ll be lucky to have much of a roster left for Meltdown at this rate…..
Ginger walks away, and the scene fades out.

Match 1: Bk London v Orochi - EotR Semi Final No. 1 (Credit: White Rose)
The shot pans the endless sea of diversity that is the ACW crowd and it is obvious they are hyped for this event. Their expectations are over the top and they will be surpassed tonight. Signs in the crowd are at an all time high and each fan expresses his or her opinion with his or her own unique flair. The fans cheers are only suppressed when Philip begins to speak.
Philip: Ladies and Gentleman, this match is scheduled for one fall and it is a semi-final match for the Emperor Of The Ring tournament. Introducing first, from Yokohama, Japan, please welcome Yamata No Orochi.
"Man Made God" by In Flames hits and Orochi walks out from behind the curtain, carrying Yoko Satoshi on his shoulder, to a chorus of boos and jeers from the crowd. Orochi walks slowly and as confidently as ever, but soon Yoko whispers something into his ears and he smiles. Orochi keeps his pace and walks on until he gets to a particularly hostile group of fans at which times with the speed of a striking cobra, he lunges towards the barricade and the fans scatter in fear. Yoko and Orochi laugh at this and as they come to the ring, Orochi lets Yoko off of his shoulder and he steps over the top rope and enters the ring. Yoko stands at ringside with a look of insane sanity in her eyes.
Philip: And next, from Brooklyn, New York, please welcome BK London.
"Warrior Pt. II" by Lloyd Banks hits and BK London comes out from behind the curtain to the cheers of the crowd. He does not waste his time and charges down the ramp, giving fans high fives along the way. As he slides in the ring, he keeps his eyes on Orochi the entire time, that is until he climbs the turnbuckle and is smothered in the cheers of the crowd. After the flashbulbs and cheering has ceased, London climbs down the turnbuckle as Philip exits the ring and the Referee calls for the bell.
Bell Rings.
Orochi and London stare down far apart from each other. Orochi looks cool and confident a contrast to London who still has quite a bit of work to do tonight and is noticeably intimidated by the mountain before him. London’s intimidation serves only to drive him on, he charges Orochi at full speed and begins to waylay into Orochi with punches and kicks. Orochi responds by grabbing London by the neck, slings him into the turnbuckle, and then he begins to hit London with rapid fire punches. Orochi then Irish Whips London into the opposing turnbuckle and London hits it sternum first before falling backwards down to the mat. Orochi moves quickly towards London, but before he can grab London, London rolls out of the ring to take a breather. Orochi goes to the opposite end of the ring and climbs outside to get a steel chair. As London rests on the other side, Orochi pushes the timekeeper out of his seat and retrieves a steel chair, which he slides into the ring. The Referee, who was in the middle of a 4 count hears this and turns around to retrieve the chair, but is having an impossible time as he cannot pull it from Orochi’s hands. On the outside, London watches the struggle on the inside and relishes his breaths, but that all changes when he turns and is hit by a Mallet shot from Yoko, a replay shows that Yoko grabbed the weapon from under the ring. As BK’s head smacks the mat on the floor his stomach burns and his airs leaves him as Yoko hits him in the stomach twice with her mallet, but she stops her attack there, she picks London up and slides him into the ring. After a long struggle, the Referee finally succeeds in persuading the chair from Orochi and Orochi sees that all has gone according to plan and he goes to pin London. The Referee is a little bewildered by the fact that London is in so much pain, but he goes to count the pin anyway 1……………2……….., but London kicks out and the crowd cheers loudly. A large and sustained London chant starts up as Orochi picks London up to his feet and goes for a hanging brain buster, but London slips out, lands behind Orochi, and dropkicks him in the right knee. Orochi’s leg is knocked out from under him and he hits the mat very hard. London gets to his feet and begins to kick Orochi in the ribs, but after a few he stops, rebounds of the ropes, and hits Orochi with running leg drop. London sees that he has gained the advantage and the fans are screaming his name now, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and waits for Orochi to get up to his feet. Orochi is dazed and gets to his feet rather awkwardly, but as he gets to his feet cameras flash from all angles and the cheers from the crowd roars as Orochi is hit by a Missile Dropkick. London quickly gives Orochi an aggressive pin, The Referee counts, as do the crowd, 1………….2……, but Orochi kicks out with authority.

London gets to his feet a few seconds before Orochi fully stands up and he goes for an Ax Kick, but the agile Orochi moves out of the way and grabs London’s leg in mid air, he then hikes his own foot over his head and brings it down on London’s shoulder. This brings London to his knees and as London sits there, Orochi hits him with a swift buzzsaw kick to the side of the head and follows it up with a low roundhouse that accelerates the crash of London’s skull onto the mat. Orochi goes for a nonchalant pin and the Referee counts 1……..2….., but London get his shoulder up and the fans scream in approval. Orochi picks London up to his feet and the hits him with two massive rights before Irish whipping him into the ropes, London rebounds and attempts a reverse into a superkick, but Orochi grabs his leg, smiles and then reverses the reversal into a Dragon Screw. Orochi does not release the Dragon Screw and lifts up London’s free leg and locks in a Texas Cloverleaf. He locks in the move near the middle of the ring, London struggles wildly and claws form the ropes, but just as his finger barely touches the ropes, he is pulled back into the middle of the ring. London holds his hands over his head in pain and ceases to move for a while and it appears London is ready to give up. London raises his arm into tapping position, but he hears his fans chanting his name "London, London" and he realizes that he is not only fighting for himself, but he is also fighting for his fans around the world. London steals the energy from the fans and valiantly crawls to the ropes and grabs the bottom rope, but Orochi uses a veteran maneuver and does not release the hold until the Referee’s two count. London is down on the ground clutching his knee and Orochi towers over him and wastes no time picking him up and throwing him to the outside. Orochi slides to the outside and quickly picks him up and slings him with all his might into the steel steps, knee first. Orochi walks over London’s crumpled body as the Referee’s count is at 4 and, after a few kicks to London’s ribs, decides his next course of action. Orochi picks London up and brings him to the top of the steel steps only to put him in position for a Piledriver, but it is reversed at the last second into a backbody drop by London. London seeks to repay the massive amounts of punishment he has taken so far in this match as he picks up the steel steps an readies to brain Orochi over the head with it and even the score. Orochi is on one knee and looks up to see London holding the steel stairs and……smiles, suddenly is the recipient of a low blow from the crafty Yoko and Orochi gets up and gives London a big boot that smacks the steel stairs against his head. Upon seeing this action, the Referee silently decides that this match cannot and will not end in a disqualification. Orochi slides London into the ring and covers him dominantly, The Referee counts 1………….2…………..
??: STOP THE COUNT THIS SECOND, STOP IT NOW!
The camera pans towards the entrance way and Gingerdude is standing at the top of the ramp holding a mic in his hands.
Gingerdude: I will not allow this prestigious tournament to be ruined by controversy. Yoko Satoshi, you are banned from ringside. I don’t know what has gotten into you Yoko. Please, just tell me why…… I can help, I am still your friend.
Yoko stares up the ramp at Ginger and with a look of pure hatred in her eyes charges towards him at full speed.
Gingerdude: Security!………Security!
Right as Ginger says this about a dozen security guards move in front of him. Yoko halts her charge as she meets the wall of security. Ginger speaks from behind the wall.
Gingerdude: Please Yoko, it’s not to late, your friends can still help you.
Yoko speaks, but without a mic it is barely audible.
Yoko: My friends have already helped me.
Ginger frowns sadly
Ginger: Very well. Security, escort her backstage.
The Security guards surround Yoko and she raises her arms in the air.
Yoko: That will not be necessary……..
Ginger: Take her, quickly!
Yoko smiles a confident smile and throws something from her right hand.
Yoko:………..YOKO VANISH!
A brilliant light engulfs the area around the ramp and when everybody’s eyes are clear again it appears as if Yoko has escaped.
Ginger: Damn it all, restart the match!
Ginger and his security leave to the backstage area.
Orochi has been watching the proceedings and has a smile across his face, but the smile is erased when the reinvigorated London comes from behind and hits him with a back suplex. Orochi rises quickly, but London is quicker and hits Orochi with a stiff DDT and goes for the quick pin. The Referee counts 1………2…….., but Orochi kicks out in the nick of time. London stands in front of Orochi and awaits for him to arise and when he does, Orochi goes for a clothesline, but it is reversed into a German Suplex bridged into the pin. The Referee counts …….1……….2……,but Orochi kicks out at the nick of time a slides over to nearest turnbuckle and London goes to the opposing corner. London signals for the end and charges to hit the Cheesecake, his version of the Gore, as he charges, Orochi uses his agility and sidesteps it and drives BK shoulder first into the steel ring post. Orochi gets up and slams him into the post shoulder first repeatedly. Orochi pulls London off of the ring post and Irish whips him into the opposing turnbuckle, but instead of following up, he waits for London to stagger backwards towards the middle of the ring and then he hits him with running cross body block into the ring. The Referee counts 1………..2…….., but London kicks out just in time to the crowds delight. Orochi picks London up and goes for a Northern Lights Suplex, but at the last second London reverses it into The Revolver(Twist of Fate). He is to exhausted to make the pin, instead he crawls to the turnbuckle as Orochi is getting to his feet. When London is on the top turnbuckle, the crowd comes alive and Orochi raises to his feet. London measures the distance and jumps off into the waiting arms of Orochi. Orochi catches London lifts him over his head and hits him with the Orochi-Naga (Gorilla Press into the Piledriver) out of nowhere and quickly falls onto the cover, The Referee counts 1……….2………3. The Referee raises Orochi’s hand as he gets up to one knee. Philip enters the ring as the Referee motions for the bell.
Bell Rings
Philip: Here is your winner by Pinfall, Yamata No Orochi.
Orochi leaves as he came, silent, like the eye of a hurricane. He leaves behind one more crushed body on his road to immortality. Can anybody stop this Monster? London gets to his feet and his given an ovation from the fans. London is confident, but he realizes that his night is far from over….

Segment: Moving the Goalposts (Credit: Daredevil)
In the corridors backstage, Daredevil is seen kicking open doors. He kicks open one, and sees Kross praying.
Daredevil: oh, crap. Sorry.
Kross: Yeah. Can’t you see I’m praying!?!
Daredevil: Yup. See ya…..
He continues down the hallway, and sees 3 doors next to each other.
Daredevil: Eeny-meeny-miny-moe, kick this door down with my toe!
He kicks down the door, and sees Jack Fury getting ready.
Daredevil: Oh. Hi. How did the play go?
Fury: Hey, get outta here, punk!
Daredevil: Heh, sorry. Um, Bob’s fault.
He runs out, down the hallway, where he sees another door. He takes a chance and kicks it down. Inside he sees Latino, who turns around and starts to look evilly at Daredevil.
Daredevil: Um, sorry mate. How’s the car?
Latino lunges towards Daredevil, but he runs away and Latino loses him. He ends up at a door, which says ‘Rena’ on a sign.
Daredevil: Jesus Christ…<br> He goes in, and sees Rena getting ready for the match. She doesn’t realise that he’s come in, and when she turns around, she gets a nasty shock.
Rena: Jesus, DD! What the fuck are you doing in here?
Daredevil: I have to tell you something, like as the messenger boy.
Rena: So you found a decent job for yourself, eh?
Daredevil: Shut up! I came to tell you about something Gingerdude has said.
Rena: Oh, yeah. What is it?
Daredevil: He says that the match is now non-pinfall OR submission for either of us. Meaning we can only win via climbing out the cage.
Rena (smiling): Well that’s nice of him.
Daredevil: By the way…. Since you dumped Amo, why is Bob still in the match?
Rena: Oh. He says that he feels bad about the way Amo treated me, so he’s gonna give me a hand.
Daredevil: Can you tell me which locker room he’s in? I had enough trouble finding yours.
Rena: Go right, then it’s the second on the left.
Daredevil: Ok, thanks. See you in the ring, bitch!
The camera stays on Rena; in the background Daredevil is heard shoving the door open with his foot again, and there’s a bang as it hits someone in the corridor outside.
Daredevil: Oh, hi, Ridley! Funny we should bump into each other again! I was just walking by…Wait! Not the face! What? No! Anything but that………AAAAARRRRRRRGGGHHH!!
Rena laughs to herself, and the scene fades to black.

Match 2: Daredevil v Rena & Bob - Cage Match
The ACW crowd is in good spirits as the steel cage is lowered down to the ring, and the event crew fasten it securely into place. No one is quite sure what to expect from this match, and the atmosphere is one of excitement mixed with curiosity.
Philip: The second match tonight is a special handicap cage match. There will be no pinfalls or submissions in this contest; the only method of victory is to climb out of the cage. I have been asked to remind everyone that, in order for Rena to win, both she and her partner must leave the cage, and Rena must be the last of the two to escape – otherwise she automatically loses the match. Now, presenting first, from Cardiff, Wales…………Daredevil!
”Mission Impossible 2” hits, and Daredevil approaches the ring looking toned and ready for the contest (apart from the angry red mark on his face). He enters the cage without reserve, and waits next to Philip for his opponents.
Philip: And the first of his two opponents, from X, Rena!
”Dirrty” hits, and there is a surge of cheering and the usual masculine approval as Rena makes her way toward the ring. She looks a little nervous as she approaches the cage, and Daredevil smirks from within; Rena suppresses her nerves and boldly enters the cage through the door.
She and Daredevil don’t speak, but regard one another carefully until “Stomp it to my Beat” hits, and the fans cheer wildly as Bob makes his entrance.
Philip: And Rena’s partner, from Los Angeles……the B to the O to the B, Bob Di’las!
Bob comes bouncing to the ring, up for it as always. Everyone’s a little surprised to see Amo accompanying him, and both he and Bob have mics in their hands. Bob stops a little way short of the ring and looks around him before turning to the couple inside the cage.
Bob: Now Rena, I'm somewhat disappointed in you. You turned on my boy Amo.
Bob turns to Amo
Bob: YOU'RE MY BOY AMO!
Amo snaps to attention, in a mock – military manner.
Amo: SIR THANK YOU SIR!
Bob then turns his attention back to Rena and Daredevil.
Bob: Now I was thinking that I should leave you high and dry on this match of yours. But I was talking to Amo here and even though you almost lost him his shiny new title……….
Amo pulls a pose showing off his title and the crowd erupts. Bob waits for the crowd to die down before he goes on talking again.
Bob: As I said, you almost cost Amo his shot and slapped him in the face. I should just walk away. However, leaving you alone with Daredevil just doesn't seem right, so I will fight beside you. But first Amo and I have something to say.
Bob and Amo clear their throats and look deadly serious, as if about to give a stern reprimand.
Bob: I like big butts and I can not lie -
Amo: Oh my!
Bob: You other brothers can't deny! That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waste, and a round thing in your face…..
Amo: -You get sprung, wanna pull up front! Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed, deep in the jeans she's wearing, I'm hooked and I can't stop staring!
Bob: Oh, baby I wanna get with ya, And take your picture! My homeboys tried to warn me But with that butt you got-
Amo: -Me so Horny!
Bob: Ooh, rub all of that smooth skin, you say you wanna get in my Benz! Well use me, use me cuz you ain't that average groupy!
Amo: Fellas!
Bob: Yeah!
Amo: Fellas!
Bob: Yeah!
Amo: Has your girlfriend got the butt?
Bob: Hell yeah!
Amo: Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt-
Bob and Amo together: Baby got back!
Bob and Amo pose together, and the crowd, which has been laughing harder and harder through their performance, gives them a standing ovation. They both take a bow before Bob hops up into the cage and Amo returns to the locker rooms. Rena and Devil are just staring, their jaws dropped, but as the ref signals for the cage door to be closed they snap out of it and Rena draws close to Bob. The ref waves to the outside, and the fans roar as the match gets started.
Bell Rings.

Devil gestures to Rena, challenging her; Rena looks a little reluctant, and Bob steps between the two. Devil knows that Rena can’t leave first, so he just gives Rena a smile and then locks up with Bob. Devil is the stronger, and he pushes Bob backward, but Rena makes her move and jumps on to Devil’s back, attacking him with her fists. Devil gives Bob a kick to the gut before reaching back and grabbing Rena, throwing her to the mat; Devil puts a foot on her chest to taunt her but is then hit by a recovered Bob, who spears Devil to the mat. Bob punches Devil a few times before getting back up; he holds Devil by the head and runs toward the cage wall, driving Devil’s head into the chainlink while backflipping and kicking away himself. Devil looks dizzy, and Rena moves forward to hit a reasonably proficient DDT. With Devil down, Rena heads to the corner and Bob starts to assist her climb, but Rena isn’t as fast as she needs to be and Devil jumps up, runs to the corner, leaps up and grabs Rena before kicking against the wall for a high superplex. The ring shakes on impact and Rena lies still; Bob drops back to the post from the cage wall and leaps off for a missile dropkick, but Devil doges it at Bob lands hard on the canvas. Devil gives Bob a scoop slam, and then makes his own exit attempt; rather than climbing out, he heads to the door and tries to kick it open. The door is quite stiff, and Devil has to kick it several times before it shows any signs of giving; meanwhile Rena is pulling herself back to her feet, and with a face like thunder she charges Daredevil, sending him into the door. This is enough to open it and Devil scrabbles, trying to get out as Rena struggles to hold him; Devil is stronger and his fingers are inches from the floor, but Bob recovers just in time and he hurries over, pulling Devil away from the door. Rena pulls the door shut and yells at Bob to show Devil who’s boss; Bob obliges by whipping Devil into the corner and then using his Bobert flip, to loud applause.
While Devil is down, Rena continues to taunt him while aiming kicks at his head and chest. Bob isn’t that keen to get involved in a personal dispute, and he stands back until Devil rolls back to his feet once more. Devil runs forward, looking for a double clothesline, but both Bob and Rena duck and Devil continues to the ropes. Devil returns for a second attempt and Bob throws him for a back body drop, but Devil rolls over in the air to land on his feet and grabs Rena, whipping her into Bob and knocking both of them over. Devil makes a dash for the cage wall and springs up quickly, but Bob pursues immediately and catches up with him close to the top of the cage. Bob tries to dislodge Devil, but Devil sticks like a limpet. Rena shouts to Bob to get a move on, and Bob rolls his eyes; Devil just gives Bob a look that says “I know mate, I’ve been there before”. Instead of trying to head upwards, Devil changes tack and leaps sideways; Bob uses his own agility to follow, and the pair move around the walls, pausing briefly every now and then to take a swipe at their opponent. Bob stays very close to Devil, pressuring him, and eventually this pays off when Devil mis - times a jump and slips down on to the ropes. Rena rushes forward and grabs hold of Devil, pulling his arms behind his back and dragging him away; she fights to hold on and yells to Bob for help. Bob drops down off of the cage wall, and Rena gives a quick nod; Bob dashes forward and hits his people run on Devil, with Rena bracing herself against the impact of Bob’s dropkick. Bob jumps back to his feet, and with Devil dazed he and Rena deliver a double suplex, to warm cheers from the crowd. Devil’s fans aren’t silent though, and their chanting and calling brings him back to the waking world more quickly than Bob or Rena had counted on. He stands up, and stalks Rena as she stands with her back to him, watching Bob start to climb the cage once more.
The crowd’s reaction warns Rena that something is up; working on instinct she spins around with her slender leg outstretched, and smashes Devil with a kick before he can take hold of her. Bob returns to assist, and the pair hit Devil with a flurry of hits before Rena slips behind and locks on a sleeper hold. Devil tries to fight his way out, but Bob holds on to him until the move starts to kick in and his struggles weaken. Rena whispers something to Bob, who listens and then nods – he heads to the post and starts to climb up the cell wall. As he reaches the top, Rena looks at Devil, whose eyes are almost glazed over; Bob beckons her, and Rena drops Devil to the mat before running to the post. Rena climbs up the ropes and stands on the post; Bob reaches his hand down, and rena jumps up to catch it – but at that very moment Devil leaps up, and with a devious smile he rushes toward Rena, who screams with surprise. Bob starts to pull Rena up, but Devil springs up and grabs her around the waist; the crowd roars as Bob and Devil are caught in a bizarre tug of war, with Rena as the rope. Using all his skill to keep his balance, Bob somehow lifts Rena up to the top of the cage, and she tries to get rid of Devil; Devil though lets go of his own accord and leaps upward so that he is balanced on the top of the cage like Bob. Bob is still trying to hold Rena, and as Devil attempts to kick the pair back into the cage he uses his free arm to grab Devil’s foot. The whole cage is shuddering from the weight at its summit, and this vibration eventually takes its toll; Devil and Bob loose their footing, and the audience yells as all three participants tumble back into the ring. As they fall they inadvertently crush the ref, who was foolishly standing below them trying to se what was going on; everyone lies still for several seconds before Rena slowly stands up, her fall partially broken by landing on Bob.
As the ref lies on the mat with Devil next to him, Rena starts to clamber up to the ring post. She sees that Devil is starting to recover, and she beckons Bob (who is also just about back on his feet) to help her, which he does, but Bob is confused.
Bob: Rena, if you leave first we’ll lose! Personally I’m not really bothered, but….
Rena: Hon, chill. I have it all worked out. Just keep Dan in the cage!
Rena slowly climbs up to the top of the cage; gingerly she swings her legs over, clinging on for dear life as Bob whips Devil into one of the sides. Rena climbs downward about halfway and looks behind her; she is directly in front of the announce desks, and summoning all the power she has in her legs she jumps from the cage to the desk, keeping herself off the floor. The announcers are rather surprised by her arrival, but Rena just gives a supermodel smile before slapping one of them off of their seat and grabbing the steel chair, folding it up. Rena takes aim, and hurls the chair over the top of the cage and into the ring, where the ref is still well out of it. Rena smiles and yells to Bob to finish Devil off, but Devil’s the quicker of the tow, and to Rena’s horror he grabs the chair first and starts pummeling Bob with it. Seeing that Devil will soon be able to make his escape, Rena jumps back to the cage wall with surprising agility, climbs up and with a yell jumps down on top of Devil, eliciting gasps from the crowd. The pair tumble over, and Rena gets up, chair in hand and looking furious.
Rena: You….you cheat! It wasn’t supposed to be like this at all! I’m going to fix you, Mister!
Rena keeps shouting, and her racket stirs the ref; just as he is starting to move Rena takes a huge swing with the chair…….but instead of hitting Daredevil, it’s Bob who gets it right in the temple. Bob crumples and lies still, and Rena throws the chair at Devil’s feet. The ref stands, sees the scene in front of him, and wrongly puts two and two together – he calls for the bell, and Rena smiles innocently as the ref DQs Daredevil for illegal weapon use.
Philip: Here are your winners, via Disqualification……….Bob and Rena!
Daredevil doesn’t understand what’s going on; he stares at Rena, and she smiles at him as Bob rolls over holding his sore head. Daredevil walks up to Rena, and raises her hand; the crowd isn’t sure what to make of it all. Devil starts to walk toward the cage door, and opens it…..but then there’s a burst of noise from the crowd and Devil turns just in time to be clocked in the face with the chair by Rena. Daredevil slumps and falls out of the cage between the ropes; Rena gives a devious grin and steps out of the cage, treading on Devil like a doormat as she does so. The fans are not impressed, and they boo her, but Rena couldn’t care less; she walks back to the locker rooms having conclusively proved herself to be one of the most cunning and calculating superstars of ACW.

Segment: You’ll never see it coming (Credit: TNT)
On the titantron, the camera shot is focused on the words 'TNT' and the crowd welcomes it with a surprising cheer.
It zooms out to reveal the 'TNT' Logo sewn on the back of the New TNT Sleeveless Hooded Vest as TNT looks back with the entertainment title draped over his shoulder, he finally turns towards the camera with a cocky smirk on his face.
Kevin Anderson is standing next to TNT getting ready to ask him some questions.
Kevin: TNT, I...
TNT: Whoa whoa, no, shut the hell up, wasn't it you, that disrespected Excellence, TNT, by laughing at that lil’ Bitch, BK London's joke? Huh?!
Kevin: Well it was fun...
TNT: Who said for you to answer junior? You stupid jackass, Now...gimme this..
TNT snatches the mic from Kevin...
TNT: Now TNT can actually bring some class to you people…and some entertainment baby! That’s why I got this on my shoulder (he taps the Entertainment Belt) Well tonight, BK London, may have fooled me a few times, I mean I find it PATHETIC, pathetic that he has to fake an injury, just so he doesn't have to get into the ring with me 1 on 1 so he can't get his ass handed to him like I did to him the first time we met. He fakes an injury like a coward and then attacks me, while my back is turned. Yeah! BK! Way to go, 1 up on TNT, by being a complete BITCH! I cannot believe that you actually held this title BK, I mean, Champions don't Run....Champions don't cry...and Champions don't walk away. You’re not a Champion London, You're a COWARD, who won't win any of your matches tonight, and is full of yourself because you try to win 3 matches in one night, Big deal! I know you can't back it up. And tonight, later, now, whatever, whenever this match of ours takes place, I will pin you 1...2....3 and you will never EVER see it coming. I'm too fast for you London, just too fast, these Silver feet, too fast again. I'll show you, and when I deliver the R-K-O, I will literally try to BREAK YOUR NECK! END YOUR CAREER! Like I said, You’re not a Champion, I don't need to worry about losing this title, ‘cause you're not gonna get it back, and I don't have to worry about that crap stipulation made by the Chairman. All I'm worrying about is, how I'm going to win this match, whether it will be a pin, or a submission, you never know, and you'll never see it coming Jackass...heh...
TNT throws the mic at Kevin Anderson and shoves him out of the way, as he walks with a purpose to get ready for his Match.
Fade Out.

Match 3: BK London v TNT (champion) - ACW Entertainment Title Match (Credit: BK London)
Once the cage has been dismantled by the stage crew, the show moves quickly on to its third match, and first title defence of the night.
Philip: This match is scheduled for one fall, coming to the ring from Chicago, Iliinois, The Entertainment Champion, T-N-T !!
”Away” by Mercy Drive hits and TNT makes his way through the curtain onto the stage. The crowd gives TNT major heat as he is quickly establishing himself as a heel to be reckoned with in ACW. TNT walks around with the title on his shoulder and he taunts the crowd with it which gives him more heat. TNT enters the ring and he climbs up on the second rope and holds up his Entertainment Title in a Randy Orton type style as the cameras flash around him. TNT jumps over the ropes into the ring and he waits for his opponent BK London.
Philip: And his opponent from Brooklyn, New York, B-K London !!
Warrior Pt. II by Lloyd Banks blazes through the speakers and the crowd is on their feet. BK London steps out the curtain sporting his new t-shirt which is labeled with BK London's new logo on it. A superman logo with BK inside of it. BK walks down to the ring and he seems real focused on TNT. TNT stares back at BK with the same look, BK London enters the ring and doesn't take his eyes off TNT. BK London takes off his shirt and throws it in the crowd and a fight breaks out in the crowd for it. The referee takes TNT's belt and raises it up in the air signaling that this match is for the title.

TNT runs toward the corner and he hits BK with a Spilt-Legged Moonsault and he pins BK but he gets a nearfall. TNT gets frustrated and he picks up BK, he whips BK into the ropes and attempts the back body drop but BK counters with a Sunset Flip. BK then attempts to turn the Sunset Flip into his finisher Excruciating Pain (Haas of Pain) but TNT quickly makes his way to the ropes. TNT kicks off BK and BK falls over to the other side of the ring, BK gets up and TNT runs up to him only to receive a Spinebuster by BK. BK then hypes up the crowd and he climbs up to the top rope, he signals for his Moonsault to Reverse DDT. TNT gets up and he looks up as BK goes for the Moonsault; TNT quickly moves out of the way. BK lands on his feet but by doing that he aggravates his knee, TNT sees this and quickly moves in for the kill. He takes down BK with a chop block to the knee and he picks up BK's leg and goes for the Walls of Jericho but BK counters it into a Small Package but BK only scores a nearfall. BK and TNT get up and BK goes for a Yakuza Kick but TNT moves out of the way and the referee is kicked out of the ring. BK looks over the top rope to the referee and he turns around and TNT kicks BK in the gut and he goes for the Last Ride but BK hops off his shoulders and hits TNT with the Shades of Shawn Michaels (superkick). BK falls to the mat and he holds his leg, the people start to chant "Lets Go BK" *clap clap clap clap*. BK starts to get to his feet and he stalks TNT from behind. TNT gets up and BK kicks him in the gut and goes for The Revolver but TNT pushes BK into the ropes. As BK bounces off TNT hits him with a Manhattan Drop and then he kicks him in the groin. BK holds his groin and BK hits him with a DDT. TNT gets up and he gets major heat from the crowd. TNT goes to the outside and he throws the timekeeper off of his chair and he folds it and brings it into the ring. TNT enters the ring and as BK rises to his feet TNT attempts to take him out with a chair shot but BK ducks and he grabs TNT by the throat and hits him with a Chokeslam out of nowhere. BK gets up and he does the cut throat taunt and he climbs up to the top rope and hits TNT with the Pegasus Dive which takes TNT out cold. BK goes for the pin but he remembers there is no referee. BK then gets an idea and he goes to the outside of the ring and he throws the unconscious referee in the ring. BK pins TNT and picks up the referee's arm and slams it on the ground, one-two-thr--- but TNT kicks out. BK gets up and he waits on the other side of the ring. TNT gets up and BK goes for the Gore but TNT hops over him with incredible agility but BK stops himself. As BK turns around TNT kicks him in the stomach and hits him wiht the C-4 (Pedigree). TNT hooks BK's leg and the referee slowly crawls toward TNT and he counts one-two-thr--but BK kicks out again to TNT's surprise. TNT is pissed and he climbs to the top rope and waits for BK London to rise up. As BK rises TNT goes for the Double Axe Handle but BK runs up the ropes and he takes out TNT and himself with the Super London-Plex. Both TNT and BK London lay out in the middle of the ring and BK holds the back of his neck. He slowly rises to his feet and he climbs up to the top rope and he signals for the From Brooklyn to London. BK attempts it but TNT moves out of the way and BK crashes and burns. TNT gets up and he reveals he was playing possum, TNT goes up to the top rope again and as BK is getting up TNT jumps off the top rope and he catches BK's neck and hits him with an RKO from the top rope. BK is out cold and TNT rolls around the ring holding the back of his thigh, it seems he has injured it during that move. BK rolls over on his back nearing to the ropes. The referee finally makes it up to his feet and he starts counting for the double count out. As he reaches nine TNT and BK reach their feet, BK is still kinda stunned from the move. TNT goes for an F-5 on BK but BK slips over his shoulder and hits him with the Suplex Galore, a combination of three suplex. But as BK is about to finish off with the Reverse Northern Lights TNT elbows BK in the face and attempt the Triple Suplex. But on the final suplex BK floats over TNT and he attempts the Time’s Up but TNT flips over and turns BK around. As BK turns around TNT takes BK down with a double leg takedown and he goes for the Walls of Jericho.
After 15 seconds of struggling TNT finally locks it in. BK screams in agonizing pain and it seems as if he is about to tap but BK pushes himself up with his arms and he tucks under TNT to escape it. TNT attempts to lock it in again but BK struggles out of it. TNT instead goes for the Slingshot but BK grabs onto the bottom ropes and kicks TNT off of him. TNT rolls across the ring and BK London gets up. TNT runs toward BK only to receive a kick to the gut and then he attempts The Revolver but TNT counters it into a German Suplex but BK counters that into a Roll Up and then he locks in the Excruciating Pain (Haas of Pain). TNT screams in pain but he has nowhere to go since he is in the middle of the ring so he has no choice but to tap.
Philip: And the winner of this match and NEW Entertainment Champion, BK London.
BK London rolls out of the ring and he can barely stand up, the referee helps BK up and gives him the ACW Entertainment Championship. BK raises the belt in the air and he gets a major pop from the crowd. He falls back to the ground and the referee's help him up again; just then, a furious looking TNT slides out of the ring, grabs London and gives him an unceremonious F5 into the ring post before stalking away to the back. The crowd boos TNT, but nothing can dampen London’s spirits, and he salutes the crowd as the extra refs assist him in returning to his locker room.

Segment: An awesome opportunity (Credit: Amo)
The show is between matches, but as the ring is being checked ahead of match four ”The Magnificent Seven” by The Clash hits, and Amo coolly walks out to the ring sporting his Junior Championship. He does a turnbuckle pose showing off his title, then proceeds to get a microphone from one of the stage managers.[/i]
Amo: How is everyone tonight?
The crowd is now roaring; everyone is on their feet and various "Amo" chants break out from some of his more hardcore fans. Most of the ladies in the audience are screaming "I want you" or "Marry me, Amo!"
Amo: Thank you, thank you... now, tonight I have an important announcement to make- an announcement regarding my Junior Title!
The crowd cheers again, but quiets down quickly eagerly awaiting Amo's big announcement.
Amo: This will effect EVERYONE eligible for the Junior Title, so listen closely, those of you watching this backstage, and I KNOW you are, I mean how many people can resist watching me?
Amo poses again, this time getting an absolutely earthshattering pop from the crowd. After it dies down, Amo smiles and continues on with his announcement.
Amo: Starting on Thursday, every show until I lose the title, there will be a match. This match will be against anyone willing to risk, and eventually accept, defeat and humiliation at the hands of Amo the Great.
Amo poses once again, the crowd responds but Amo senses they want him to finish up with the announcement.
Amo: However, I'm not starting some boring, "Amo fights every night" kind of thing. You see, the challenger will be able to choose one of three stipulations for the match. They will choose whether the match will be a Pinfall match, a Countout match, or a Submission match. The ONLY way someone can win is by scoring a corresponding fall. That means, no DQ, no interference, no ANYTHING but the stipulation you choose.
The crowd is surprised at just how much Amo is risking by doing this, and they also realise that he could lose as early as his first defense. However, they show their support for his gutsy proclamation, and cheer him as he poses for a last time then heads back to the locker room. He stops at the top of the entrance ramp and turns around, the microphone still in his hand.
Amo: By the way, tonight, EEEEEEEEEEVERYONE here knows who the Emperor of the Ring is gonna be!
Amo tosses the microphone away and poses a final time, then makes his exit.

Match 4: El Loco v Kross v Yoko Satoshi (champion) – ACW Lightweight Title Match
The fourth match of the evening is about to commence, and the fans are keen to see how Yoko Satoshi’s new alliegence will affect her concentration on personal matters.
Philip: The next match tonight is a triple threat match, and it is for the ACW Lightweight Championship! Entering first, from the Vatican City…….Michael Kross!
Kross enters as “Vater Unser” plays; he carries his symbolic cross before him, and he seems to be calm, almost serene, as he makes his way down to ringside. He removes his extraneous garments and enters the ring, standing still and closing his eyes in a moment of silent prayer.
He keeps his thoughts to himself as the FBI’s theme kicks in, and there’s a surge in booing as John Gotti strides out into the lights, ready to grab his chance at personal glory.
Philip: Secondly, he is one member of The Italian Mafia…………John Gotti!
Gotti walks to the ring, giving the chin – flick to the more vocal members of the crowd and looking for all the world as if he’d just stepped off of a print of Goodfellas. He swaggers as he steps into the ring, but like all good Mafiosi he gives a slight nod to his priestly opponent before focusing on then entrance ramp, along with everyone else in the arena.
There’s a slight pause before “Flower of Carnage” hits, and the crowd doesn’t hold back with its disapproval as Yoko Satoshi appears, her belt held over her slender shoulder.
Philip: And finally, from Okinawa Japan………she is the current ACW Lightweight Champion, Yoko Satoshi!
Yoko has an icy expression as she regards her opponents in the ring; she doesn’t dawdle on her way there, and the tension in the air rises as Yoko paces straight up to her opponents, her infamous mallet in her hand. Gotti smirks, and Kross regards Yoko with an odd look which almost seems akin to pity.
Yoko: Neither of you stands a chance against me…..surely you realise that?
Kross: What I choose to believe is my business, and mine alone. As you’re so keen on saying yourself, Miss Satoshi, what other people think is irrelevant.
Yoko just continues to stare, but the complete lack of anger in Kross’ demeanor takes her aback, just a little. Gotti just looks bored, and is champing at the bit to get on with winning the title. The ref seems to read his mind and takes the belt from Yoko along with her mallet, holding the belt up before passing the items out of the ring. Philip also leaves, and there is a wave of sound as the match gets going.
Bell Rings.
Yoko and Gotti aren’t reluctant to meet one another; Gotti throws out a blindingly fast series of forearm blows, but Yoko dips and weaves to avoid most of them before kicking Gotti in the chest, sending him to the mat. Kross immediately steps in to fill the position, and Yoko seems determined to make a point with Kross as she attacks with a combination of slaps and kicks. Kross moves backward, protecting himself but never turning his back, until he is close to the ring ropes; then he darts forward, grasps Yoko by her hair and jumps with great agility backward over the ropes, jarring Yoko’s neck on the top one as he drops to the mat. Yoko staggers back a pace or two, to be caught by Gotti who slams her into a pin; Yoko kicks well before 2, and Kross is also on hand to disrupt the attempt. Gotti is now faced with both Yoko and Kross wanting a piece of him, but as a member of TIM he not only knows how to play the numbers game but how to deal with such tactics as well. Gotti carefully positions himself so that Kross and Yoko hit each other more than they do him, and the animosity between the pair soon has Yoko giving Kross her undivided attention. Yoko hits Kross with a particularly fiery kick to the head before hitting a vertical suplex; she rolls over for a pin but is immediately scooped up by Gotti, who uses a swift powerbomb. He also pins, but is quickly stopped by Kross, who is back up and rushes across the ring into a flying dropkick that hits Gotti right between the eyes. Gotti is sent backward, and Kross lands on top of Yoko to take over the pin – the ref restarts the count, but Yoko breaks out of her own accord at 2. Looking less than impressed, Yoko superkicks Kross as he is getting up, spins around to intercept Gotti who is charging from behind, and catches him, impressively inverting him in mid air to deliver a jumping piledriver right on top of Kross. Yoko pins both men as they lie side by side on the mat, but they both kick hard at 2, throwing Yoko physically off of them so that she rolls a little way across the ring.
Gotti and Kross get up, and have the same idea as Yoko stands up next to the ropes. They hurtle forwards trying to clothesline Yoko, but she calmly ducks and uses their own momentum to lift them, one either side of her, and then throws them over to land in a heap on the floor outside. The crowd roars as Yoko springs up to the nearest post and launches herself into a splash, but Kross and Gotti recover fast and surprise everyone by catching Yoko and launching her again for a flapjack. The pair get some impressive height, and Yoko yells as she comes down on top of one of the announce desks – she isn’t heavy enough to break it, but she lets fly with a string of Japanese swearwords before rolling off of the desk. Meanwhile Gotti is laying down some punishment to Kross with a series of blows; the referee is counting, and Yoko slips back into the ring as the pair continue to fight. Kross has just brought Gotti down with a flipping dropkick when he hears the word “eight” from the ref; he hurries back to the ring, but Yoko isn’t keen on letting him back in. Gotti is getting up, and Kross prays for a little divine intervention as Yoko kicks him off of the apron; Kross’ prayer is answered when Gotti slips past Yoko as she concentrates on Kross and then attacks from the back, distracting Yoko and letting Kross get back in to the ring just in time to beat the countout. All three participants now engage one another, and they are quite evenly balanced in terms of strength and speed. Gotti makes a breakthrough when he DDTs Yoko and then employs the Purple Pig on Kross; Gotti exerts all the pressure he can on Kross’ ankle, but Kross is used to bearing both physical and mental pain and although he obviously is affected he shows little sign of tapping. Yoko gets back up, and seeing Kross indisposed she immediately starts to stomp and kick at his head, shouting abuse as she does so. Gotti keeps on his hold, but he dislikes Yoko intensely, and after a few moments he intentionally releases the hold and turns his full attention to her.

Gotti releases his internal anger, battering Yoko with a series of right hands until he knocks her down. As Yoko tries to rise, Gotti times his next attack perfectly and kicks her hard in the back, laying her over the second rope. The audience knows what’s coming, and despite Gotti’s heel status a chant of “619” starts up. Gotti doesn’t need any encouragement, and he backs off before rushing toward the ropes. The crowd roars, and their noise snaps Yoko out of her daze; she rolls aside and Gotti misses, but puts herself into the perfect position for Kross to run in and hit her from the opposite side with the same move. Yoko bounces back into the centre of the ring, and Kross chances his arm, leaping up to the top of the post and going for the Divine Wrath. He misses Yoko but collides awkwardly with Gotti, who is heading for Yoko and paying no attention to Kross; the pair get back up, but Yoko has a clean shot at both of them and she kicks them one after the other in the gut, doubling them over and setting up for the flying guillotine. Yoko hits it on Kross, who is left sprawled on the mat, but she isn’t quite quick enough to nail Gotti as well and he forward rolls so that Yoko misses him. Gotti stands, spins around, and gives Yoko one, two, three, four punches before finishing with the powerbomb for the SAVE! – he pins without delay, but Yoko kicks at 2.5. While Yoko is still down Gotti rolls over and makes an attempt at pinning Kross, but the delay has been significant and Kross easily shoves him away at 2. Gotti curses, and gets up looking very annoyed; he grabs Kross and whips him into the approaching Yoko before getting hold of Kross again and using the Money Maker. Kross is no more willing to tap now than he was earlier, but with her foe restrained moves in quickly and adds a few blows of her own. Kross looks dazed, and Yoko kicks Gotti as well; Gotti drops Kross and meets Yoko head on. As the ytwo trade blows, Kross gets up; he still looks to be a little dizzy but he rushes forward to try and clothesline both his opponents at once. Instead, Gotti and Yoko slip aside before working together to hurl Kross head first into the turnbuckle. The blow is very strong, and Kross lies still on the mat as Gotti and Yoko prepare to fight to the finish.
Back and forth the pair move across the ring; one moment Yoko looks to be on top, the next it’s Gotti who is making the best of it. Gotti finally gets close enough to Yoko to grab her arm and whip her to the ropes; he doesn’t pay attention to where he’s aiming however, and Yoko cannons straight into the referee, taking him out. Gotti sees his chance and starts throwing closed – fist punches, dodging an attempted low blow by Yoko, eventually bringing her down with an uppercut. Gotti taunts Yoko, but the crowd is making an unusually loud racket, and Gotti turns to see Jakie leaping into the ring; Jakie has something in his hand, and it turns out to be Yoko’s own croquet mallet, which Jakie has appropriated from outside the ring. Gotti doesn’t have a chance to duck before Jakie hits him over the head with a single devastating blow; Gotti’s legs buckle and he is out cold on the spot. Jakie doesn’t hang about but jumps out of the ring, discarding Yoko’s mallet as he does so; Yoko meanwhile is back on her feet and she walks over to the edge of the ring, picking up the mallet and watching Jakie leave. The ref is starting to stir, but as Yoko glances at him she misses Kross who kips up suddenly, having played dead while the action unfolded around him. With great speed, Kross dashes forward and knocks Yoko over the ropes and out of the ring; he bounces off of the ropes and runs back to Gotti, who is also starting to stir weakly. The crowd is roaring for Kross, and he looks at the post, but then a better idea enters his head; carefully he sets up Gotti and applies the Majistral pin. The ref is awake enough to see that he is needed, and Gotti can’t summon enough strength to break free before the 3 count is made and the bell rings for the end of the match.
Philip: Here is your winner……..and NEW ACW Lightweight Champion……Michael Kross!
The reaction from the fans is incredible, but Kross barely seems to hear it; he releases the Majistral and Gotti slams his fist on the mat in frustration. Gotti stands and glares at Kross; he’s furious at Jakie’s interference, but his mood is improved slightly when he sees the look on Yoko’s face from outside the ring. Gotti gives Yoko a rude gesture before heading backstage to prepare for his second match, leaving Kross looking around him in a kind of daze at the cheering throng. The ref receives the belt from an assistant at ringside, but as he approaches Kross Yoko storms back into the ring, having retrieved her mallet, and snatches the belt away from the ref before going toe to toe with Kross. The crowd becomes hushed and everyone waits to see what will happen; Yoko has pure fury in her eyes, but she finds no similar malice or triumphalism in Kross, who is internally bracing himself for an attack but shows no outward sign of this.. The seconds stretch, and then abruptly Yoko throws the belt down at Kross’s feet before turning and walking away. The crowd cheers again and taunts Yoko all the way to the back; in the ring, Kross bends down and slowly picks up the belt.
Kross: In your name, Holy Father, in your name.
Kross makes the crucifix symbol over his chest, and then looks at the fans; allowing himself a moment of celebration at last he holds up the belt to them, and the cheers just get louder. His mission completed and faith rewarded, Kross makes his way to the locker rooms, the satisfaction of serving the Lord a greater reward than any title.

Segment: Add Insult to Injury (Credit: Jakie,El Loco)
In the locker rooms, the camera zooms onto a bandaged Gotti, showing the result from the brutal croquet mallet shot from Jakie in his last match.
Trainer: Mr Gotti, you have to hold still. I know it is going to hurt, but you just got your ass handed to you by Jakie.....
Gotti grabs a hold of the trainer’s throat, looking highly angry.
Gotti: WHAT!!!!!!!! WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!!! JOHN GOTTI DOES NOT GET BEAT. HE DOES NOT LOSE!!!!!!
Voice (from behind): Let me guess, that last match was an exception.
Gotti lets the trainer go and turns around to see his attacker. Other trainers rush up to check up on the fallen trainer.
Gotti: What are you doing here, Jakie? Haven’t you caused enough damage here tonight?
Jakie: You know what, I don’t think I have.
Jakie lunges at Gotti, clenching his right hand into a fist, revealing the brass knuckles he is wearing. Referees pour into the rooms trying to separate the two rivals.
Jakie: OK, OK FINE!!!! I’ll stop.
As Jakie leaves the room he looks at the trainers, trying to rebandage Gotti after his second brutal attack by Jakie that night. He gives Gottin one more look before leaving; a look that says, ”Let the games begin.”<br> Fade Out.
