Angelo rolls out of the ring leaving Atomic laying in the ring. He pushes the apron out of the way and searches under the ring for a weapon. He pulls out a chair from under the ring. He looks back into the ring as Atomic regains consciousness and rolls over. She looks outside the ring and sees Angelo holding up the chair with the same smirk on his face. Not wanting to be at a disadvantage, she gets up and runs to the opposite side of the ring bouncing off of the ring. Angelo looks on at first thinking she’s scared but sees her coming back. The look on his face changes from cocky to curiosity as he watches Atomic jump on top of the ropes just in front of him. She springs off with a corkscrew moonsault and comes crashing down as Angelo uses the chair as a shield. Both bodies are laid out on the mat. Atomic is shown holding the back of her and Angelo is shown on his back barely able to move. It’s evident both competitors took the shot to the chair but it seems Angelo had the most pain from it. Atomic is the first to get up as Senator is still in the ring watching the two closely. Atomic walks over to the apron and lifts it up. The camera shows her searching for a weapon until she drags out a table with a smirk on her own face. She holds it up with both arms as the fans starting cheering louder and louder. Angelo on the other hand is getting up grabbing onto the barriers. The fan sitting in front of Angelo starts laughing at him when Angelo grabs the fan by the face and pushes him back into the crowd. As he turns around, Atomic Kitsune swings the table smacking Angelo across the face sending him flying back a few feet and on his back. Atomic slides the table inside the ring. She walks over to Angelo and starts punching him with each punch more lethal than the last. Angelo tries to block but it’s too much. Atomic grabs him and stands him on his feet, before she can do much more Angelo throws a punch but she blocks it. He tries again and again connect on the last punch. Atomic reaches towards his chest and makes a “slashing” action across his chest.
Angelo jumps back out of fear, expecting the flash of steel. He looks over at Atomic whom has a smile on her face, and realizes that it’s a trick. Angelo, now with an angry look, runs at Atomic but she uses his momentum and hip tosses him across the outside mats. She again looks under the ring and takes out a crash helmet, which one or two of the motor racing aficionados recognize as bearing Ferrari – type colours. She puts it on and as Angelo gets up and turns around Atomic comes charging at him headfirst. Head and abdomen collide as Angelo goes back first into the steel steps, and there’s a yell of “SCHU – MACHER!!” somewhere in the back. Atomic falls back on her butt and stumbles back up a little dizzy from the effects of her slightly sneaky attack. She stumbles around a bit and then walks over to the turnbuckle post away from Angelo. The fans watch as she starts arguing and yelling at the post obviously unaware that it’s not Angelo. She finally takes off the helmet, shaking her head a bit, and looks around. She notices Angelo is not where she thought he was and then turns around just as Angelo gives her a big Gettin’ Whacked across the face. Angelo grabs Atomic by the hair pulling on it roughly and smacks her headfirst into the steel post. He then rolls her inside the ring and follows her closely. Senator stands by with enough distance to keep a watchful eye but not get in the way of these two competitors. Angelo stands Atomic up and then sits her on the top turnbuckle. He climbs up as well as Atomic is in a daze unsure where she is. Angelo, showing great strength, lifts Atomic up tries for then throws her down onto the mat with the Mafiabomb. He drops down onto the mat and goes for another pin. One….Two…Thr- kickout by Atomic just at the last second. Angelo slams the mat with anger as he gets up again and this time turns his attention to the table lying in the middle of the ring. He grabs a hold of it and sets it up in the corner. Angelo stands Atomic up, again by grabbing the hair, and irish whips her straight towards the table. She stops herself just before she crashes into it and looks back as Angelo runs at her furiously. Thinking quick she back body drops Angelo trying to send him into the table, but Angelo flips and lands on the top turnbuckle with legs spread. He stumbles a bit and at one second almost falls guillotining himself into the table. He looks back at Atomic Kitsune whom is just about turning around. Angelo then leaps with a huge, beautiful moonsault and collides perfectly with Atomic Kitsune. He again goes for the cover but before he can fully hook the leg Atomic Kitsune rolls him over and goes for her own pin. Senator slides onto the mat and counts One...Two…Three!
Phillip: Atomic Kitsune has earned a victory by pinfall! The current score is 1-1!

Atomic gets up and looks at the titantron noticing they have less than the 10 minutes left on the screen. Angelo on the mat gets up angrier than ever. He rolls to the outside quick and pulls out a 2x4; the Senator is looking more and more annoyed by the continuing violence on both sides. Angelo slides back in the ring and goes to smack Atomic across the back of the head but Senator grabs it from behind, jerking it away. Angelo looks back very annoyed but knowing not much time is left turns back to Atomic. He turns her around and wraps his arms around her. With another smirk on her face, as the two stare at one another face to face, and sends Atomic flying across the ring with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Atomic goes crashing into the table in the corner and falls down on her back. She rolls around holding her head on pain as Angelo walks over back in his cocky state. He taunts Atomic as she struggles to get up and the fans are chanting her name louder and louder “Atomic! Atomic! Atomic!” As she finally stands up with her back turn towards Angelo. He runs at her and jumps up performing the Mafiaranna. Atomic counters the move and rolls on her back and then onto her feet. Angelo is confused of what just happened, but before he can react and pick himself up Atomic expertly performs the Catch 22. She keeps the hold on lock and applies more and more pressure. Angelo struggles in pain as the Senator starts asking Angelo the question we all expect. Angelo shakes his head, and starts yelling insults in both English and Italian. Atomic ignores this as long as she can, but after a particularly choice phrase regarding her mother, Atomic grabs a hold of his other ankle as she flips him on his back. She spreads both legs and as Angelo’s eyes get big Atomic stomps directly on his groin. Angelo yells out in pain but doesn’t submit. Determined to win Atomic stomps again, and then again. Angelo fights against tapping out with each stomp and Atomic stomps down once more this time grinding her foot hard and at the same time applying pressure to both ankles. Angelo finally starts tapping the mat hard as he screams in intense pain.
Phillip: Atomic Kitsune has earned a second victory by submission! The current score is 2-1!

Angelo rolls around in pain and gets up, now absolutely seething with anger. He runs at Atomic and gives her a Mafia Kick to the face. She falls back a few steps and Angelo takes a few steps back. He again runs at her and for the second gives her a Mafia Kick. Angelo runs to the opposite ropes and on his return gives Atomic a Huge Dropkick to the face. She spins around from the impact and falls face first leaning against the ropes with her back towards Angelo and Senator. Angelo drops down onto the mat and rolls to the outside. The apron is lifted again tonight as Angelo searches for a weapon. He pulls out something with a grin as he looks up at Atomic with a big grin on his face. He lifts up the weapon, revealing to be a large medicine ball, showing it to her. Angelo then rolls inside the ring and holds it up in the air as the fans all over the arena start booing. He starts spinning gaining more and more moment and then finally releases the medicine ball as it goes flying straight into Atomic’ s upper back/neck. She screams out in agony. She falls down onto the mat and rolls under the ropes and falls down to the outside. Angelo is on the mat sitting down laughing uncontrollably as he watches Atomic roll around in pain holding her neck and back. The fans are now chanting her name again and Angelo looks up at the screen to see only two minutes are left in the match. Atomic gets up and reaches over seeing the steel chair a couple feet from her. She grabs a hold of it and instinctively swings the chair up at the ropes. She slides inside the ring and tries to swing again but Senator grabs the chair yelling at her for using such blatant weapons in the match. By this point Atomic is in absolutely no mood for a debate; the two keep arguing and Angelo sneaks up, and spins Atomic around. He grabs a hold of her and lifts her up in position for the Italian Decimator. Now with a smirk on his face he slams down Atomic Kitsune on the mat, just barely missing the medicine ball, and goes for the cover once more. Senator slams down on the mat One….Two….Three!
Phillip: Angelo Giovanni has earned a victory by pinfall! The current score is 2-2!
Angelo quickly looks over at the titantron and sees only 30 seconds are left in the match. He quickly locks on an inverted Liontamer as he’s facing Atomic Kitsune. He reaches down and applies more and more pressure screaming at Atomic to tap. Senator gets on his knees asking her if she does but she yells out no. The crowd starts counting down as the screen reaches “10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!” The bell sounds and Angelo looks around in shock unsure what will happen now. Senator walks runs over to Phillip and yells out who won the match.
Phillip: Ladies and Gentleman this match has been declared…..a DRAW!! The final score ended up with both competitors reaching Two victories! Therefore this match has ended in a tie!
The fans immediately start booing loudly, most of it directed towards the Senator as he has a surprised look on his face over their reaction. Angelo on the side is clearly angry over what happened and goes straight at Atomic trying to get some further revenge. She gets away quickly rolling out of the ring. She starts shaking her head “No” as Angelo stays in the ring.
Angelo: I had you beat! I had you beat, and you know it!
AK: A draw is better than you deserve, Angelo. But you did well……just not well enough.
She turns away from him already satisfied with her performance and now she walks down the entrance towards the back. She stops at a fan holding up a sign that says “Ak & Latino When’s the Date?” She suddenly remembers about Latino as she quickly runs to the back.

Segment - "Is this how you love me?" (Credit: Jade)
A new video segment starts upon the titantron; Jade is shown upon a gloomy avenue as homeless people wander about, and as with many of Jade’s scenes, we are unsure if this is real or a representation of memories, ideas passed. Fires of smoldering pits made from scratch reveal the eyes of many with a car passing by. Jade sits on her black motorcycle as she watches the time pass by and sips slowly upon a mini bottle filled with an alcoholic drink of some sort. She grasps her bottle as a random guy passes through and the random guy stops as he passes Jade with a stupid grin on his face. He gazes at Jade’s white leather outfit as she leans over her motorcycle. The man walks over slowly with a little jump in his step as he slightly touches Jade’s chin and lets go as if he was attempting to woo her.
Man: Hey perrdy Lady! Are you lost?
Jade tosses the empty little bottle aside as it breaks silently into small pieces. The guy jumps back as it seems to show he is slightly drunk.
Jade . . . depends on what you mean by lost, man. . .
Jade looks up at the man and smoke comes out from his nose. He smiles with a cigar in his mouth. The smoke rises as it makes shapes and a grey smoked color through the night air. The man pulls out money from his pocket as he tosses it towards Jade’s foot as her teeth start to grit together from the cockiness coming from the man. He pulls up his pants as he starts to talk again.
Man: . . . hmm, well . . . you want a real man to show you a good ol' time tonight, don't cha?
Jade glances at his polished black boots and his cowboy hat as his beer belly hangs out of an un-tucked, stained, colorless shirt and his out-of-date blue discolored denims . . . remind Jade a lot of a "stereo-typical Bob".
Jade: I don’t want YOU or your damn money, Bob . . . see, it’s sick FREAKS like you who can’t tell when a girl wants to be alone! Can you tell? Obviously not! Now, get your stupid money, tie it up into your ugly and out-dated hat with your ridiculous tricks to try and lure women and shove it up your ass or better yet, come closer so I can ask you a simple question that I am pretty sure is on everyone’s minds tonight . . . “<br> Jade pulls her fingers and flexes them as it seems like the guy is coming closer and closer. Jade kicks the money that the man threw at her feet as it flowed and floated across the streets and homeless people rushed forward to grab the money flooding the streets. Jade sees the man's cigar drop to the ground as Jade smiles and takes in a deep breath . . .
Jade: What the HELL is a f*cking Cowboy, loaded with money, wandering the streets of the 'shady and abnormal' when he KNOWS that none of us needs help . . . well, maybe there is merely one that would need help when psychos like me are let out on the road with motorcycles . . . heh, the ONLY one who really needs the help is . . . himself!
Jade leaps off of her motorcycle as her skin tight suit reflects the light, so that she looks like some sort of goddess. Her cat-like eyes glisten as the fire makes her look demonic. Jade walks forwards toward the drunken moron as he stands still. The fear in his eyes seems like he has never seen such horror and beauty combined. Jade walks up to the man as he looks at her in fright. She grabs his throat and feels him breathing harder and harder as her clutch becomes tighter and tighter. The air fills with the smell of a strong and bitter alcohol. Jade takes her other hand as she grabs onto his collar, having him gasp even heavier for air.
Jade: IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT . . . DO YOU WANT SOME WHORE?! SOME WHORE TO STICK YOUR DIRTY T-
The man yelps out before Jade can even finish her statement. He starts to wheeze even heavier as she clutches her hands tighter.
Man: Hush! Be QUIET!
Jade: . . . You want to FUCK me OVER?! Well, tonight is the wrong night to fuck with this girl, you bastard!
Jade watches a bead of sweat fall down the man's face as she carefully eases a slow, deadly kiss upon his poisoned lips. He falls to the ground as Jade is shown to knee the Cowboy in his gut and twist his neck to get that nice loud crack that echoes through the streets and soothes the pervert's actions away. He falls to Jade's feet as if he was bowing down to the glorious one. Jade cracks a smile as she pulls out another bottle and starts to walk back to her motorcycle. She hears a thump as the man falls down, lifelessly on the ground.
Jade: The shadows . . . it always moves toward everything and you know it does when you can't stop it. The darkness ALWAYS comes.
Jade takes a small sip of the bottle as she smiles an evil grin that scares away a few of the people around her. She jumps back on her motorcycle and tosses her head back as she drowns herself with the rest of the bottle. She lets out a tear of joy as she feels some of the drink drip out of her mouth and droplets flow down her suit. Jade pulls out her usual hair tie and throws the bottle, hitting the lifeless body of the drunk Cowboy. Jade chuckles as she notices his hat lying next to a few of his scattered bills.
Jade: Yee-haw, what a night it's been for you . . . actually, both of us! It's too bad it wasn't what you expected . . .
Fade out.

Segment: The rest is Silence (Credit: Ridley)
There's a certain aura of tension in the dressing room as Ridley, locked in meditation, sits in his lotus position. Outwardly, he seems completely serene, although most can guess that he's seething under his calm exterior from the fury that Rose has caused him. But it's not wasted in raging fits, however; Ridley simply channels the rage into his motions as he stands, making them crisp, precise, entirely efficient.
It only takes him a second to get his black MMA-style gauntlets on, and from there on, Ridley's in the proverbial zone. He lifts the giant spiked cape off its hook in the wall and slides it on over his shoulders, hooking it in place with a quick jerk of both wrists. There's obviously a lot on Ridley's mind right now, more than anybody watching could ever comprehend. The Architect, the earrings, the Crypt, the assassins...all of them pervade his thoughts as he prepares. But Ridley's had to deal with this kind of thing before, and so he does what he's always done. He blocks out everything else, and focuses on one thing, and that one thing, of course, is his former beloved.
There's no words wasted on the camera; Ridley's already said all he ever needed to say in preparation for this match. The silence actually serves to speak for itself; his grim, quiet rage says more than ten minutes of talking could ever do...and so it is, as he grasps the doorknob and opens the dressing room door to exit the room, that without having said a word the entire time, Ridley's message is crystal clear. Alexandra Kaesar has it coming to her tonight, by any means necessary.
End.

Match 9: Ridley vs Alexandra “White Rose” Kaesar - Submission Match Seeing Ridley on his way toward the arena entrance has only served to get the audience more pumped up than ever, but they remain curiously calm, perhaps almost too riveted with anticipation to lose themselves in mindless noise. Philip is back in the ring, and he announces the competitors with the gravitas that the occasion demands.Philip: This is a submission match, which can only be won by forcing your opponent to surrender or rendering them physically unable to continue. Introducing first, from St. Petersburg, Russia……Alexandra Kaesar, the White Rose! Though Rose is as familiar to those watching as their own kin, still they find something new every time she appears before them. It’s not physical…more a sense that this is someone who learns from every single match and training session.
She’ll need everything she has, and possibly even something that she is not yet aware of, as she reaches the ring with “Her Ghost in the Fog” swirling around the arena. Rose has been here many times before, and she knows that only total focus will give her a fighting chance at achieving what many believe to be impossible.
Rose continues to wait, as do the crowd…and only when their anticipation, their anxiety, can go no higher, does “Puritania” commence and bring savage reality to swamp even their darkest premonitions.Philip: And her opponent, from Southeastern Birmingham, Alabama….Ridley! His expanse of black cloth seems to cloak the whole arena in shadow; the crowd instinctively shrinks back from a force that they can’t fully classify or understand as Ridley walks the worn path to the ring. His progress is unhurried, stately even, and there is a respectful hush such as one might otherwise hear only in the wards of a hospital for the dying…. but this fractures as Ridley raises the lights, and the immediacy of the moment brings the fans back to their feet.
Dispensing with his cloak, Ridley enters the ring. A look passes between the pair which would surely have caused others to wither on the spot, and the referee nods to the timekeeper, wanting to bring things under his control, such as it is.Bell Rings. Ridley and Rose start to pace around, watching one another continuously for the prime moment to attack. It arrives rapidly, as Ridley darts forward and lashes out with a pair of kicks to the ribs, one on either side. Rose winces but stays cool, not even giving Ridley the satisfaction of forcing her to back off, and returns fire with a very strong forward kick to the gut which physically pushes him back and gives Rose a chance to raise her defences. Ridley’s movement and posture suggests that this isn’t going to be a finely poised duel of hold and counterhold, at least not in the opening stages; his approach is far more direct and violent, and Rose finds her on style constrained by the need for her to defend against a plethora of striking moves. The battle travels around the ring, and is conducted at a frenetic pace, but such is the skill of both competitors that it’s hard to tell just how much damage is being done – Ridley’s by far the more aggressive of the two, but Rose places her shots only when she is sure of scoring a hit. This goes on for a good three or four minutes until Ridley succeeds in delivering a blow to Rose’s knee so that she drops down on to it. This is Ridley’s moment to act and he does so with devastating force, using a double footed 1 – 2 roundhouse to make Rose keel over on to the mat. With just a flicker of a smile to indicate his enjoyment of this, Ridley waits patiently for Rose to start picking herself up before executing the shining darkness, which makes the fans cry out at the brutality of the move. Rose is too dazed to stop Ridley locking in her own figure four and taunting her as he does so; Rose grimaces, but it’ll take a lot more than this to make her give in and she twists herself with supreme ability to get free, rolling backward to prevent Ridley from continuing his attack directly. Ridley still retains the upper hand and his confidence is obvious as he continues his relentless pursuit, never giving Rose a second to rest or think unhindered about her strategy. It’s becoming clear to her that she needs to counter like with like, and so Rose now stands he ground and an all – out toe to toe battle ensues. Ridley is inwardly amused as he knows his physical strength is superior, but just because Rose has stopped flitting around the ring doesn’t mean she’s disengaged her brain as well. As Ridley throws a spiky punch, Rose ducks it and then grasps the same arm to whip Ridley into the nearest ropes. It’s only a few feet and Ridley bounces right back into a spinebuster fed with all her own rage. The ring makes a very loud BANG sound as the pair land, and Rose quickly flips over so that she’s got hold of Ridley’s feet in her hands, while standing on Ridley’s wrists to pin his arms. She wrenches on both ankles; Ridley glares daggers at her, and the referee watches in case Ridley wants to give up. In this case hope most definitely does not triumph over experience; Ridley focuses on one leg and pulls it free before booting Rose in the gut, sending her over backward to break the hold. She’s still got hold of one leg, however, and refuses to let go; somehow both make it back to a vertical position, and the crowd are treated to the sight of Ridley hopping and trying to kick Rose with his free leg while Rose ducks and moves backward around the ring, smiling and generally doing her best to wind Ridley up. It certainly works; Rose becomes perhaps a little too confident, and pays for it when Ridley makes a sudden grab with both arms, pulls Rose forward and headbutts her at full power. The strike succeeds not only in dizzying Rose, but Ridley too; the pair fall to the mat and separate, shaking the stars from their heads before facing off again.

A few more kicks are exchanged as both parties do their best to work out their next plan of attack. It’s Rose who commences first, battering Ridley with a selection of forearm and elbow strikes and then delivering a simple but perfect snap suplex, a demonstration of the power she conceals within her deceptively lithe frame. Ridley is up in seconds and thunders toward Rose, who hasn’t quite turned around yet – he aims for a head splitting clothesline, but Rose seems to almost telepathically anticipate this and she counters it into a rolling jujigatame. The fans sit up and take close notice as Rose works over Ridley’s arm; Ridley is never one to show just what he’s feeling, but there is something in his movements which suggests this is quite painful and possibly could leave him with a handicap for the rest of the match. As Rose focuses on the arm she has a hold of, Ridley moves his other arm over to grab the wrist, and pulls himself up to his feet. Rose doesn’t suspect the counter until it’s too late, and Ridley drops backward causing Rose to slingshot straight into the turnbuckle with a lot of force. She gasps at the impact, and before she can even turn around Ridley’s right behind her, savagely kicking at her back and ramming her repeatedly against the turnbuckle through shoulder strikes. As Rose slumps to her knees, Ridley hooks her arms and interlaces his fingers beneath her chin, leaning backward so that he’s supporting most of his weight via Rose. Rose can’t breathe properly and gags a little, but the crowd starts to get behind her, and their sound keeps Rose conscious until she is able to lift herself first on to one, and then the second foot. Using all the flexibility in her back she flips over and frees herself, causing Ridley to drop back on to the mat in the process.
Rose is up straight away, and delivers a couple of rapid stomps to Ridley’s head while the chance is there. He snaps back up, and launches into yet another powerful attack on Rose, firing off punches and kicks to any vulnerable part of her body that he can reach. Rose though is also becoming seriously pissed off by this point, and she battles back, targeting Ridley’s knees and lower legs with a selection of sweeps and kicks, and a short lived dalliance with a Boston Crab which Ridley kicks out of with ease. Ridley keeps getting back up, but every time he’s a tiny bit slower, and Rose now switches tack and goes all out with elbow strikes to the head. The repeated concussions take their toll and eventually the signals to Ridley’s legs get screwed up, and he drops momentarily to his knees; this is what Rose has been waiting for and she is not about to let this chance slip by. She rockets to the ropes and uses them for a springboard dropkick which in fact resembles a sort of doublestomp; Ridley is sent over backward, trapping his own legs. Rose scrambles forward and forces one of Ridley’s arms behind him, and then positions herself on his chest so that she’s reproducing a close variant of the move with which she almost crippled Ridley in their last PPV match. The only difference is that Rose leaves Ridley with one arm free in order that he can signal his submission; Ridley almost gets a little colour in his face through fury and pain combined as Rose presses him, and taunts him to give up. Once again, however, Ridley’s endurance is beyond extraordinary, and in her quest for victory Rose has inadvertently given him a means of escape this time around. Using his one free arm Ridley starts to buck, and through Rose tries to hold on Ridley eventually succeeds in powering free of the move, which draws an admiring pop from the crowd. Rose gets clear as Ridley pulls himself up, and he leers at her briefly, showing his razor fangs and daring her to give him a real challenge.

Ridley’s own taunts are starting to work their way under Rose’s skin, but if Ridley was expecting this to reduce her capacity for cool thought he’s got another thing coming. Rose advances on him, and she means business – she sends forward a kick which Ridley sidesteps, only for Rose to spin on her other foot, hook Ridley’s arms as she passes by and whirl the pair of them into a new variant of her Mark of the Rose. Rose releases her built – up tension by dropping on to her knees on Ridley’s back as he recovers from the powerful move, and beating him furiously around the head and neck until he throws her off and rises back to his feet. Rose is already on the move as Ridley is doing this, and she ricochets from the ropes, going for a shoulder tackle to floor him again. Ridley ducks, but he’s much closer to the ropes on the other side and Rose hits these before crashing into Ridley from behind. As soon as he’s down, Rose knows what she wants to do; real anger burning in her eyes, she bends Ridley into the extreme liontamer / Torture crab maneuver that she also debuted at Fallen Heroes. This time, however, she takes the move even further, forcing Ridley’s knees downward until his feet are solidly placed on the canvas. Rose leans with all her weight and there are cries of fear from the crowd, many of whom are certain that Ridley’s spine must be irreparably damaged. There looks to be no way for Ridley to escape this hold, but in her hurry to apply it Rose has forgotten to gauge the distance between the pair of them, and the ropes. It takes all of Ridley’s flexibility to do it, but he is able to snake his arm around, circumnavigating one of his ankles, and grasp the bottom rope. The referee is fortunately on the ball, and instructs Rose to break the hold after five. Rose looks angry both with the referee and herself, but has ho choice except to comply.
The intensity of the match is starting to wear on both Ridley and Rose, and they are having to tap their deeper reserves of both energy and feeling to continue the push to find a winning formula. If Ridley came into this match wanting to punish Rose, he also came fully intending to secure victory, and now he inwardly acknowledges that the second of these needs to take priority if he is to achieve it. This doesn’t mean that his vindictive streak is satiated; if anything Ridley’s attacks become even crisper and millimeter perfect as he grinds Rose down in preparation for a final submission. There’s a pop as he lands a Yakuza Kick (the fans NEVER get bored of those, it seems), and as Rose slips down in a dazed state Ridley entwines Rose into a Queen Angelito stretch, drawing a few “ooohs” from the impressed submission marks. Ridley makes a minor alteration and fishhooks Rose’s mouth rather than pulling her arms, and the realization seems to strike both the audience and him at the same time. A vicious minority cheer and shout for the curbstomp II, a larger proportion encourage Rose to fight back, and Ridley pauses…….but decides that it won’t serve his purpose here. Instead he thinks a little and then adds a Full Nelson, so that Rose is under immense pressure throughout her entire body. The tableaux remains frozen like this for almost a minute, and Rose has to dig deep to find the will to resist……but her emotion has been made so strong by all that has happened before that sheer bloody mindedness gets her through, overruling what others might call sanity. Rose thrashes and the pair roll back and forth a couple of times until Rose finds a way to extract herself; Ridley has expended a considerable amount of energy on what he thought would be the final play, and the pair take a couple of seconds each breathing deeply before standing back up.

Many people are amazed that this match is still “alive” and wonder how much further the competitors can take things; if anything, the complete absence of any weaponry only serves to make the match more difficult to watch, as the fans are forced to confront the reality of what humans are capable of doing to one another with nothing more than their bare hands and a devious intellect. There is something of a standoff; although the pair continue to attack one another and whip each other around the ring there’s a sense that they’re both going through the motions, grasping for inspiration. It comes seemingly out of nowhere; as Ridley tackles Rose to the mat they roll about for a few seconds, seemingly tussling for a waistlock – but the proverbial lightbulb flicks on in Rose’s head, and with a few swift and deft moves she twists around until she has Ridley wrapped into the Royal Octopus. It’s almost as if a lightning bolt hits; Ridley doesn’t scream or shout, but the instantaneous stiffening of his body and contraction of his pupils indicates that he’s in a great deal of pain, even by his exacting standards. Not only is the hold severe, but this time Rose is more or less in the centre of the ring, and she’s not letting go; her expression flickers between absolute concentration and a hint of mania. Ridley has only one leg left even remotely maneuverable, and he starts the achingly slow process of trying to drag both himself and Rose toward the ropes. Rose fights him for every centimeter, and time is dragging on – one minute, two minutes…. There’s a huge surge in the crowd’s sound, and this just gets even louder as they see what’s available of Ridley’s arm wavering – he’s definitely thinking about his position now. Three minutes, and with about a foot to go to the ropes there’s a shriek from those in the front; a small trickle of blood drips down Ridley’s chin from his mouth, and the fans work out that he must have bitten his tongue in his efforts to resist. Rose fights even harder now to restrain Ridley, four minutes……but despite everything Ridley doesn’t give in. With a last effort he drops his foot on to the ropes and the arena is soaked in the sound of the amazed fans, who roar in recognition of the feat. Rose, in fact, is the one who screams – with utter rage as she is forced to abandon the hold.
Both Ridley and Rose struggle back to their feet, using the ropes to support themselves; they both look exhausted now, and yet as they catch one another’s eye their mutual anger flares again, and fuels them for one last desperate push. Neither wants to commit to a submission now until they’re certain that the other has no fight left in them, and they pull out all the stops; Ridley executes the Terzetto with more venom than ever before, and Rose shows that she can dance those steps too with a triple Dragon Suplex of her own. Both are looking frayed at the edges, and Rose couples her physical attacks with barbed comments, not audible to the cameras but clearly eroding what is left of Ridley’s patience. His reply is to hurl Rose into the corner and attempt to bootscrape her face off, concluding with an Ohtani Kick and a look that says, “THIS is what it’s about, folks”. With Rose now struggling to stay conscious, Ridley drags her to the centre of the ring, and applies an Indian Deathlock; Rose looks almost close to tears and Ridley allows himself a brief smile, leaning in to ramp up the pressure. As he does this, though, Rose pounces and locks on a cravate; Ridley’s eyes widen, and as they struggle in the mutual submission, Rose locks gazes with him…….and something unreadable passes between them……
And then it happens, so fast that some of the fans almost miss the moment they thought they’d never see. Ridley taps, strongly and unmistakably, and the place goes bonkers; the referee jumps up and calls for the bell, and Rose instinctively releases the hold….
…..which is her ultimate mistake. Even as the bell is ringing, Ridley latches on with a Dragon Sleeper to complete his Stepover Deathlock Spineshock, and rolls over so that in her weakened state there is no way in hell for Rose to escape. Even as they’re cheering her victory, the fans shriek in fear at what they’re now seeing, and Philip’s announcement is rendered hollow.
Philip: Here is your winner…..Alexandra Kaesar!
The fans are incredulous and roar the house down, but their cry is as nothing compared to the silent scream of Rose’s eyes as Ridley crushes her with the SDS, now fully locked in. Her victory has come at a terrible price, and Rose is torn between agony and oblivion; Ridley just watches, not smirking or leering but simply grimly satisfied. The referee tries to order him to break the hold, but this is useless, and he calls urgently for security. They come in force, at least a dozen of them, and it takes most of these to finally pry Ridley off. Once the hold is broken the “spell” seems to go too; Ridley gives the almost unconscious Rose a final glance before leaving the ring, his business concluded….for now.
Only when he’s left the arena will security allow Rose to stand up. They try to shepherd her to the back, but Rose is determined to walk under her own power, and she can’t help but notice the ovation she is receiving as she does so. Rose allows herself the tiniest of smiles before she is gone from sight, and the show takes a much needed break.

Segment: The end of the Adventure…? (Credit: Yoko)
Inside of a small prison, Beau James and El Froggy Mask are sitting inside of an extremely tiny cell, which is the only cell, with only a toilet and a bed.
Beau: You know, as I look back, I don't think that was a real chupacabra.
Froggy: We will rot in here forever.
Beau: I've spent weekends in jail, it's no big deal.
Froggy: This is Puerto Rico.
Beau: Puerto Rico isn't as bad as Mexico, and I've been in Mexican prisons. We'll be fine.
There's a loud deafening rushing noise as the walls shake.
Beau: VIETNAM'S BACK!
The sound stops, and a man dressed as a sea captain walks in through the door. Some Puerto Rican guards pull their guns.
Guard#1: Who are you?
??: I'm Captain Tweedle, I'm here to bail out these two.
Guard#2: They don't have a set bail.
Tweedle reaches into his coat and pulls out a wad of dollar bills.
Tweedle: Fifty thousand American dollars, courtesy of Mr. Mercer Stanton. To bail out these two.
The guards look at each other.
Guard#2: What two? We don't have any prisoners today.
Tweedle: That's what I thought.
He tosses them the money, and the first guard unlocks the cell. Froggy and Beau leave with the captain.
Froggy: Stanton bailed us?
Tweedle: Yes.
Froggy: A lot of money, we're sorry.
Tweedle: That's not a lot to him, especially not to get his favorite Fallout stars out of trouble.
They see a giant plane outside of the prison.
Beau: You're going to fly this thing? You're dressed like you drive a ship.
Tweedle: I'm a boat captain, but I was the only one who could fill in. I got it here well enough, so don't worry, I'll get us back.
They go onto the plane and sit down and Tweedle vanishes into the cockpit. The plane lifts off with no problems, and Beau falls asleep. Froggy relaxes with the fact that it's all over.
He looks out of the window and sees a spiny big eyed creature on the wing, clawing into the metal. Suddenly the plane barrel rolls madly and the creature leaps off the wing and glides away.
Tweedle(Over intercom): Sorry about that, just a chupacabra. Brace yourself for barrel rolls until we're out of Puerto Rico airspace.

Segment: Finally arrived... (Credit: BK)
We are at the scene of which the Escape the House match will take place, the camera pans around the area of the house looking at the structure and the wasteland around it. The ACW officials are setting up their area around the house and suddenly a faint sound his heard. From afar a white escalade is seen coming down the road quickly. As the car reaches closer the song becomes more clear as it is "Public Service Announcement" by Jay-Z. The car finally swerves into the scene and comes to a screeching halt as BK sees a sign on a gated wall that says:
"ONLY TRUCKS AND CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES BEYOND THIS POINT"
The door swings open and BK steps out the car while the music his still playing, He takes a look through the gates and finally takes a look at the house that the battle will start in, the same house that his feud with Latino has centered around. BK turns off the stereo and shuts the door walking up the doorway of the gate where he sees a guard.
BK: I'm here for the Escape the House Match.
Guard: Can I see some form of ID?
BK: Do you even know who I am?
Guard: Unless I see some ID, I don't even care who you are...Now do you have some form of government ID sir?
BK: Listen Mr...*looks on his shirt*..Eubanks. My name is BK London, and I am in the match tonight. Look around on the posters, Latino vs BK London, Escape the House Match...
Guard: That poster says a lot of things...it also says card subject to change...now I need to see some ID.
BK: Listen your about three seconds away from---
Suddenly a voice is heard from afar.
Voice: Let him in...Let him in...
The voice is similar and finally BK sees the person and its none other than Bob A. Builder.
Bob: Let him in, he's with the special project going on inside.
BK: Yeah bitch..
Guard: Ok Ok...
The guard opens the gate and BK enters. Bob and BK begin to walk toward the house as they go over the insides of the house so BK can get a one up in the match. Just then BK trips over a mail box..
BK: The hell? Don't you think you guys should clear out these stuff first? I you guys are supposed to clean up for your guest.
Bob: Ginger said it worked with the scenery of the match to have stuff lying around...
BK bends over and picks up dusty mailbox and he begins to slap the old dust off of it, and he blows it off revealing a name.
BK: Brendan Carroll? Who the hell is this?
Bob: Oh some pot head that used to live here, he was one of the hardest to get to leave this neighborhood but when we bulldozed his house down he got the message.
BK: Hmm...
BK tosses the mailbox aside and they continue towards the house as the time for the match continues to draw near.

Match 10: Vinnie Dulario vs. Jade, Yoko Satoshi - Gauntlet style Match The show has once again exceeded everyone’s expectations, and after all the weapons, stipulations and staging the fans are quite looking forward to the penultimate contest and its relatively simple premise. Philip is on hand to introduce the first two competitors.Philip: This is a gauntlet style match. Introducing first, from Lansing, Michigan….. Vinnie Dulario! ”And Justice for All” hits, heralding the arrival of one of ACW’s rising stars. He just smirks at the boos of the fans and walks coolly to the ring – Vinnie’s not the green – as – grass competitor he was before, and no one is sure just how far his talent will take him tonight.
His music is replaced by “Feel Good Inc”, and Jade comes out to a good pop. She still looks a little troubled by earlier events, but quickly brings her mind back to the here and now.Philip: And his first opponent, from Okinawa Japan……the Asian Angel from Above, Jade! Jade waves to the cheering fans, and turns her mind to the situation at hand. She feels anger as she approaches the ring, and realizes that she must harness this without letting herself be controlled by it. Vinnie just stares, trying to psyche Jade out, and Jade returns the glare; the referee is satisfied that all is well, and calls for the bell.Bell Rings. The two lunge at each other, both clearly aching to get their hands on one another. Such is Jade’s anger at Vinnie that she uncharacteristically goes toe to toe with him, and her rage makes her strong; Vinnie finds that his blows seem to be just bouncing off, and Jade knocks him down with a short arm Lariat before leg dropping his neck and going for a lightning pin. Vinnie kicks out well before two and jumps back up, now seriously pissed off and determined not to be shown up by Jade a third time. He forces her back against the ropes and lets fly with a stream of his trademark knife chops; Jade winces, but counters with a knee to the gut which is as low as she can get away with, and then she suplexes Vinnie with considerable effort over the ropes to the outside. The fans cheer as Vinnie gets up and dusts himself down; Jade walks back and forth in the ring, taunting Vinnie further. Incensed, Vinnie leaps up on to the apron; Jade rushes in, and attempts to knock him back off, but Vinnie sidesteps and elbows Jade right in the face between the eyes. Jade’s vision swims and she staggers backward – Vinnie re enters the ring and slaps on a double handed chokehold. The ref isn’t 100% happy and gives Vinnie a 5 count to release it; Vinnie does so, but then immediately applies the hold again. The ref gives him another 5 count, and Vinnie completes the sequence with a vertical suplex. He makes a cover and gets a 2 count; as Jade starts to get up Vinnie hops on to her back and applies his camel clutch. Jade is prepared for this, however, and before Vinnie can fully apply the move she throws him off sideways. The crowd cheer, and as Vinnie gets up again Jade gives him a hard slap across the face to show him exactly what she thinks of him. Jade’s slap is answered by a forearm strike from Vinnie; he draws upon his brawling background and continues to beat Jade around the head and chest. Jade, however, has had plenty of experience on the streets, and she whips Vinnie across the ring so that he bounces back into a big boot to the face, courtesy of Jade’s impressive flexibility. Vinnie is sent over on to his back and Jade kicks him in the ribs until he can get up and defend himself again; a second whip follows, and Jade leapfrogs Vinnie as he charges back at her. Vinnie isn’t expecting this, and has hit the ropes on the other side before he can gather his thoughts; he travels directly into a spinning heel kick that gets a pop for its athletic nature. Now very much in control of the match, Jade takes her time and waits for Vinnie to get up before delivering her Bulldog; Vinnie is getting extremely tired of these repetitive meetings between himself and the canvas, and kicks out angrily just after the 2 count. He mounts a comeback, raking Jade across the eyes and placing her into a full nelson hold, finishing by converting this into a Full Nelson Slam. It’s certainly powerful, and Vinnie pins, hooking the leg – only for Jade to break free at 2.5, with a face like an approaching hailstorm, cold and promising violence. Vinnie takes a cheerleading – style upward kick to his jaw, and crumples; Jade summons her strength and makes the crowd react with a powerbomb, a departure from her normal style but one which seems to work well here. Jade rolls Vinnie up, but he’s done his research and breaks it just after the 2 count; his expression, as he rises, is one of a man who has the means and the nature to secure victory by whatever means should prove necessary.

Jade is no fool, and knows that Vinnie should not be trusted; she watches him closely as the pair move toward one another and lock up. Vinnie’s engagement is only a façade – he slips around and forces Jade into an armbar, twisting it with intent. Jade resists and uses her other arm to power out, and then whips Vinnie hard into the corner; she dropkicks him in the chest, and Vinnie slumps into a sitting position. The crowd makes its feelings known and Jade dashes forward into the Bronco Buster; Vinnie throws himself down and rolls out of the ring, and Jade converts her move quickly into a backflip from the ropes so that she lands on her feet safely. Vinnie runs around the ring and enters from behind Jade; he tries to clothesline her from behind, but Jade turns just in time and lifts Vinnie into a back body drop. Vinnie comes down against the ropes, and Jade uses them to launch into her moonsault; cameras flash everywhere as she connects, and pins, 1,2 – Vinnie gets a foot to the ropes, and there’s a loud groan from the crowd. Jade frowns, but does not become discouraged; as Vinnie pulls himself to his feet Jade lines him up and prepared to execute her “Jaded” finisher. As she gets in close, however, Vinnie gouges her eye with great speed and takes her into a schoolboy pin; the ref can’t see him holding her tights, and the crowd boos furiously as Vinnie grins, 1,2 – kickout! Even Vinnie’s cheap tactics weren’t enough, and Jade laughs; but Vinnie has one more trick prepared. With a sleight of hand worthy of a master magician he moves so that Jade is obscuring the referee’s view of him and slips on some brass knuckles concealed in his pocket (did they have a sale on these at “Heels R Us” this week or something?). Jade takes a blow to the temple and her kegs buckle, and Vinnie hides the offending object before the referee is even aware of it. He covers, and this time Jade is too badly dazed to respond before the 3 count.
Philip: Jade has been eliminated! Which means that……. now approaching the ring, also from Okinawa Japan, she is the ACW World Champion…..Yoko Satoshi!
Yoko looks very angry as she races to the ring; she has her belt with her, but there is no sign of Mr. Floppy. Jade is still trying to get hold of Vinnie for the cheating tactic, but an official makes her leave the ring; Yoko tries to speak to Jade, but Jade indicates silently that she is ok and will not speak. Yoko looks a little hurt, but has no time to do anything further now; she slides into the ring, leaving her belt on the outside, and the ref gives the ok for the second part of the match to commence.
Bell Rings.

The ref might not have seen Vinnie’s infringement of the rules, but Yoko is all too aware of it, and she circles with her foe, indicating to him silently that he’ll pay for his undeserved victory. The gap between them dissipates and Vinnie goes at Yoko like a woodsman with trusty axe, chopping away at his petite opponent. Yoko proves that the best things often come in small packages by turning her back on Vinnie and, unseen by the referee, kicking him in the groin in her inimitable style. Vinnie gasps with the sudden pain, and Yoko is in the perfect position to use a twist of fate – style neckbreaker. She makes a pin, and earns herself a 2 count; the fans clap and cheer, but Yoko is far too wise to let this go to her head. What she does do, however, is glance sideways to the outside to try and see Jade’s reaction. Jade is standing well away from the ring, and her expression is one of concentration on the match…but nothing more. Yoko tries to put it out of her head and returns to working over Vinnie’s abdomen, but the slight pause has allowed Vinnie time to mentally regroup and he catches Yoko off guard with a fast DDT. Yoko is brought down and Vinnie puts her into his half Boston Crab, selecting her right leg which he has noticed she tends to favour slightly in the flow of combat. Yoko’s miles too tough to even think about tapping out, but this isn’t really Vinnie’s aim; he holds on as tightly as he can and forces Yoko to burn precious energy reaching the ropes. The ref breaks the hold and Yoko retaliates immediately, throwing Vinnie into the nearest corner. She again zeroes in on his belly, bracing against the ropes and lifting up her feet to kick him with an extremely rapid 1 – 2 action. Vinnie grunts, but retains presence of mind and catches hold of one leg; Yoko continues to kick with the other, and Vinnie fights back with toe kicks directly to the base of Yoko’s spine. This mutual destruction continues until Yoko pulls her foot free and backs away to come up with a fresh plan.
Vinnie doesn’t intend to let up in his pressuring of Yoko; he stalks her across the ring and then explodes suddenly into a Spear, sending both of them to the mat. They struggle and Vinnie uses his greater size to force Yoko’s shoulders to the mat; he gets just past a 2 count, and Yoko rolls them both over sideways so that they in fact topple out of the ring. Extracting themselves, they rise up and continue their battle on the outside; Vinnie makes himself hard to reach by retreating around the back of one of the announce tables, and the announcers have to bail out into the crowd as Yoko jumps up on to the table and then performs a flying crossbody, driving Vinnie down. He’s incredibly lucky not to injure himself on any of the furniture, as is Yoko, who scrabbles away through the table legs; Vinnie pursues, but hasn’t considered his path carefully, and when he’s halfway through he suddenly realizes that he’s stuck. The camera moves in more closely to confirm this; Vinnie tries to back up, but Yoko is aware of the situation and grabs his arms, holding on to him and pulling forward. Vinnie yells as his middle is put under great pressure; Yoko smiles and just pulls harder, but then Vinnie gets a flash of inspiration. He breathes out as fully as he can and sucks in his gut, and such is Yoko’s strength that she succeeds in pulling him all the way out. Vinnie jumps up to his feet, pulls Yoko in toward him and then dropkicks her in the chest, straight back into the steel ring post. The referee’s count is at eight, and Vinnie dives back into the ring; he smiles smugly, certain that Yoko won’t make it back, but Yoko somehow finds the energy to haul herself back in on the cusp of 10. The fans cheer, and Vinnie curses under his breath as he moves in on Yoko once more….

Vinnie kicks Yoko as she gets up, but this is little more than an annoyance to the World Champion, who now looks as if she means business with Vinnie. Calling on all her accumulated toughness from matches and training past, she lays into Vinnie with a head on assault, beating him relentlessly about the abdomen once again and almost certainly looking for a chance to execute her Flying Guillotine. Vinnie is determined not to give her that chance; he knows where to hit someone to hurt them, and socks it to Yoko with a blow to her left temple. Yoko’s vision is disrupted for a second, and Vinnie moves to the nearby turnbuckle; he gets some height, and then strikes with a flying clothesline of considerable power. With Yoko on the canvas again Vinnie sets up his STF stretch; Yoko’s eyes snap open and Vinnie ups the pressure as much as he can, fully intending to make Yoko either surrender or leave her with a permanent reminder of their meeting. The fans boo Vinnie loudly, and a chant starts up for Yoko, who is not unaffected by this show of support; she starts to struggle, and Vinnie finds his grip slipping. He holds out as long as possible but Yoko will not be contained, and with a final effort she breaks the hold and fights her way back to her feet. Vinnie straightens up – and then realizes that he’s kneeling; it’s too late for him to get out of the way and the Pop from Okinawa gets a pop all of its own. Yoko throws herself into a cover and tries to hold Vinnie down – she almost makes it, but Vinnie thrusts an arm up at the last moment, using the same instincts and will that have kept him alive in many deeply perilous situations before. The crowd yells out in surprise and disappointment, and it’s anyone’s guess as to where the participants go from here.
Yoko’s not in the mood to waste time; Vinnie’s stamina is an unknown quantity to her and she decides that she must finish things as quickly as she can. Yoko’s not adverse to using psychology; she actually backs away from Vinnie and seems reluctant to face him, and Vinnie’s killer instinct comes to the fore. He drops his guard and goes into a full attack mode, and at first he seems to make progress, to the point that he knocks Yoko down to the mat; Yoko lies still, breathing hard, and Vinnie drops into a cover. As soon as he does this Yoko throws up her arms, clapping Vinnie around the head; Vinnie’s sense of direction is sent haywire by the air blast, and he has no idea which way is up in order to get off the mat. Yoko quickly gets him into the Ol’ Ball and Chain, the move which has spelled disaster for so many; she piles all her anger and frustration into the move, and Vinnie twists and struggles, clawing at the mat in his desperation to get loose. The fans are beside themselves and shout their lungs out, screaming at Vinnie to tap – but Vinnie will not do so, he has only kept himself breathing by refusing to allow any sign of weakness to show. The crowd is stunned as Vinnie calms down and measures the distance to the ropes – it’s not all that far, and though Yoko tries to keep him in place Vinnie makes it and grabs the rope to break the hold. As the ref orders Yoko off, Vinnie smirks and sees Jade watching from a little way off; Vinnie reaches into his pocket, and shows Jade a hint of the brass knuckles that he still possesses. Jade’s fuse is short, and she runs forward making a grab for them – but the referee sees her and orders her away. Jade tries to argue, but she has in fact done exactly what Vinnie needed – created a distraction. Vinnie sees that Yoko is facing away from him, and grasping his chance he rushes forward, aiming his match – ending blow at Yoko’s skull…..
……but Yoko really is too smart to be fooled, and she turns around and mists Vinnie at point blank range. Blinded, Vinnie’s swing misses, and Yoko grabs his arm and twists it until his fingers extend and the knuckles fall off. Yoko kicks the weapon away and, gathering all the energy she has left, lift Vinnie up into a stalling suplex and holds it defiantly before dropping Vinnie on to his head. The fans go bonkers, and the ref turns back to see Yoko coolly making the pin, her shadow obscuring the faint telltale signs of her semi – mystical attack. The ref counts, and the cheering continues as the 3 is given.
Philip: Here is your winner…….Yoko Satoshi!
The crowd cheers, both for the overall quality of the match and for its outcome. Yoko tiredly slides out of the ring, leaving Vinnie to come around. She sees that Jade has remained at ringside and looks pleased at her victory; Yoko runs forward and tries to give Jade a hug, but Jade pushes her away and will not make eye contact. Yoko is left standing alone as Jade walks away, and suddenly she feels very small indeed; she takes her belt and heads to the back herself, and many of the fans feel sorry for her as she passes them by, head lowered.
