Match 4: Blockbuster Match Hunter vs. Davey Marvel (Credit: Hunter)
The lights dim and the Alphatron flickers on, while Philip's voice can be heard over the noise of the cheering audience.
Philip: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the Blockbuster Match!
An even larger cheer acknowledges his words.
Philip: The two participants, Hunter and Davey Marvel, will be locked in a vacated Blockbuster store. The employees have been sent home and this store is going to be closed soon anyway, so they can basically destroy everything. Their objective is to make their opponent submit or to pin their opponent for the victory. And now, let's begin.
The Alphatron now fades into a large Blockbuster complex, where we can find Hunter and Davey, both standing on opposite sides of the room. The ref is in the middle of them, and he's looking through the shelves for random films. He finds a copy of Stealth and puts it on the ground. He then steps on it full force to start the match.
Crappy Movie Obliterated.
Hunter and Davey both charge at each other rather quickly, their hate for each other having been built up for such a long time. Hunter steps up onto a shelf and leaps over it to fly full force at Davey. Davey grabs him midair and pulls him down into a simple DDT. He then nips up and grabs the shelf, then proceeds to throw it down onto Hunter. Hunter quickly scatters up and kicks Davey in the gut, then suplexes him over his head and onto the rack. He throws another rack on him and then lies down on top, sandwiching Davey between the two racks. He grabs a copy of House of Wax and smacks it on Davey's forehead.
Hunter: Open your mouth!
Davey: ...no...
Hunter applies more pressure and Davey lets out a yell of pain. Hunter quickly shoves the DVD into his mouth and laughs.
Hunter: EAT PARIS HILTON! YOU'RE ONLY THE MILLIONTH PERSON TO DO IT!
Hunter laughs at his own creativity, but fails to notice that Davey has freed his hand and has grabbed the movie. He flings it into Hunter's forehead and pushes him off of him. Hunter flies backward and lands next to the bargain bin. He turns his head and reads the label of said bin, then quickly hops up in fear.
Hunter: Ugh, the crap...
Davey sneaks up from behind him and throws him into the bin head first.
Hunter: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Davey: Eat shit Hunter!
Davey pulls Hunter out of the bin, then slams his head back into it. He positions himself under Hunter, then lifts him up into the powerbomb position. Hunter elbows Davey in the face and falls down to his feet, then lifts him up for his own powerbomb and powerbombs Davey successfully into the bargain bin. He runs over to the other side of the store and starts looking through random movies...until he hears someone calling for him.
Davey: Hunter...oh Hunter...
Hunter looks at Davey, who is holding a copy of...
Hunter: ...Pulp Fiction...
As if you're surprised...what surprises Hunter, however, is that Davey pulls out a few more copies...from the bargain bin. Hunter widens his eyes and lets out a hurtful cry.
Hunter: WHHHHHHHHHHHHHY? HAVE THEY NO SANITY!?!?!?!? THE BARGAIN BIN!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Davey bends down and picks up a large pipe from seemingly out of nowhere. He drops the movies and raises the pipe high above his head. Hunter's eyes widen yet again. He rushes through the store, knocking shelves out of his way, letting out the most painful scream he can.
Hunter: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
He grabs a copy of Star Wars Episode III (ironically enough) and throws it at Davey, who knocks it away with the pipe and swings the pipe down onto the movies. Hunter leaps over the movies and Davey smashes the pipe on Hunter's back. Hunter collapses and Davey just raises an eyebrow.
Davey: ...why?
Hunter: ...for...the best movie...ever...
Davey shrugs, then flips Hunter over and pins him, but Hunter is able to kick out. Davey throws the pipe away and finds a rack of gangster films. He searches through the rack as Hunter slowly rises to his feet. Davey turns, holding a pile of random movies and gets in the "ready to fire" position.
Davey: SAY 'ELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIENDS!

Davey starts throwing the movies at Hunter, but Hunter simply ducks all of them and runs up to Davey. He jumps up and nails the Dynamite directly onto a copy of Carlito's Way. He grabs Davey's leg, and Davey looks over at him.
Davey: What are you doing?
Hunter: I'm going to make you tap...
Davey: ...how?
Hunter: I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.
That said, Hunter stomps on the back of Davey's head, then locks in the Eighth Sin, a move that hasn't been seen for quite some time. Davey flails around, then grabs the bottom of the rack and pulls it down onto them, ultimately breaking the hold. He gets to his feet and grabs the fallen Hunter, then hits him with a perfect Aztec Suplex onto the rack behind him. Davey grabs the pipe again and points it at Hunter. Hunter grabs it and flips Davey over, then points the pipe at him in a similar manner.
Hunter: Tell me...why did you have to take my bagel?
Davey: You want answers?
Hunter: I think I'm entitled.
Davey: You want answers?
Hunter: I WANT THE TRUTH!
Davey: YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
Hunter swings the pipe, but Davey ducks and lunges at Hunter full force. Hunter drops the pipe and Davey executes the Holy Diver onto him. Davey gets up and walks over to a random shelf and starts opening up movies and collecting the DVDs. He turns around just in time and flings the DVDs at Hunter. One of them slices Hunter's cheek and Hunter grabs it in pain. Davey flings another one, but Hunter ducks it and it hits the ref behind him. The ref flies into one of the counter tops and sits up, his back to the counter.
Ref: ...I wasn't even supposed to be here today!
Hunter chuckles, but gets speared into the ground by Davey. Hunter quickly kicks him off into one of the shelves, then grabs him on the rebound and hits a picture perfect Phoenix Exploder. He covers, but Davey is able to kick out. Hunter goes up to the wall and punches through, then rips out the electric cord. He grabs the pipe and ties Davey to it, then hangs him up from the ceiling, ultimately "crucifying" him.
Davey: What the hell is this, the Passion of the Christ?
Hunter: No, if it were then I'd torture you in slow motion for about in hour. I just skipped right to the point today.
Davey: The second time a legend such as myself is crucified...and by a Jew!
Hunter: Yeah, well, sucks to be you.
Hunter walks behind one of the checkouts and grabs a screw driver. He walks back over to Davey and smiles.
Hunter: Is it safe?
Davey: What?
Hunter smiles yet again and puts the screwdriver into Davey's mouth, then starts to twist it on his teeth.
Davey: GAH! HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF CAVITIES?!?!
Hunter: ...is it safe?
Davey: What are you---GAH!
Hunter has started the torture again.
Davey: Stop, damn you!
Hunter: I will soon enough...all you have to do is tell me...is it safe?
Davey: ...yes...?
Hunter: Oh, good.
Hunter rips Davey off from the ceiling and takes the pipe, then attempts to smash it over his head. Davey ducks and comes back with A Fire Inside. He goes behind him and attempts the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but Hunter elbows him in the head and flips around. He lifts Davey up and hits him with a quick and brutal Shotgun. He covers and gets the inevitable pinfall.
Philip: ...here is your winner...Hunter...the hell was that?
Hunter rises and poses for the camera. He looks down at his fallen foe, who looks back up at him.
Davey: ...how did you win?
Hunter: Always remember: the Jews control Hollywood!
And with that, he marches off into the sunset...sort of. He never did like cliche finales, so he takes it up himself to do a new one. He throws the pipe through the window, grabs some candy, and runs through the window to his car. One can only assume that he's driving back to the arena...the question is why. We'll find out soon enough, though...
Fade Out

Segment: Viva La Raza! (Credit: Latino/BK)
As the scene opens we cut to see Victor "Latino" Laureano walking down the ACW corridors, attempting to get somewhat familiar with this area before the next stop on the ACW tour he stumbles upon a picture on the wall, a picture of Eddie Guerrero holding up his WWE Championship at Wrestlemania XX. Latino continues to stare at the picture and his eyes begin to tear up. He puts one hand on the picture and continues to look at it.
Latino: Why now god? Why? Why couldn't this have happened 20 years from now when he's lived a long life and actually saw his children grow up? I just wish this was some bad dream that I could wake up from but the sad truth is that its not. Eddie was so much more to me than just some guy I watched on TV every week. He was a true inspiration in ACW and in real life. Yes, without Eddie there would be no Latino or Latino & AK or the Spanish Boyz. But it was more than that for me. He was one of the few Hispanics that actually was able to make something of him and not let the drugs and alcohol get to him. Why did this have to happen? WHY?!
Latino bangs onto the wall and rests his head against it and begins openly sobbing. Just then BK London walks on-camera and looks at Latino, knowing that Eddie was his favorite wrestler he shows some sympathy.
BK: Suck it up, Latino. Eddie wouldn't want you crying here right now. I know it still hurts inside but we have to get on with things.
Latino: How the hell do you know what Eddie would've wanted London? You didn't even know him.
BK: Oh I didn't? Like you, I watched him every week on Smackdown!. Like you I was entertained and amazed by what a performer he was in the ring. He rocked the house every night and I wish I was half the man that he was…
BK puts one arm on the shoulder of Latino and then puts his arm over his shoulder.
BK: Latino, you have a job tonight in that very ring. You have the job of carrying on Eddie's legacy. You have the job of keeping the Hispanic wrestling heritage alive in ACW and all around the world. Eddie loved what he did in the ring, and I know you love it too. It was in his heart, it was his passion, and it was his soul. So go out there, and rock the house tonight in memory of Eddie.
Latino looks up and wipes the tear from under his eye and is surprised to see BK is genuine about the whole thing.
Latino: Why the change of heart?
BK: Change of heart? No, no. There is no change of heart, we just happen to share the same love for Eddie. Don't expect this to be a weekly thing, now get out and face FXS or whoever your facing.
Latino nods and walks off camera towards the ring and BK looks up at the Eddie picture and smiles. He pounds his chest and points up to Eddie in heaven before walking off camera himself.
Fade Out.

Match 5: ACW Light-Heavyweight Title Match Fallen Souls vs. Latino (Credit: Latino)
With the show just over halfway through, the first title match of the night is nigh, and the crowd is clearly up for it as Philip enters the ring.
Phillip: Ladies and Gentlemen this next match is scheduled for one fall and is for the ACW Light-Heavyweight Title! Introducing first the challenger from New York, New York…..Laaaatinooooo!!!!!
The beats of lowrider start to play and the two words hit the speakers “OoOoooOooOOOoooOOO LATINO!” The fans jump out of their seats as Latino emerges through the curtains. He raises both arms up with a big smile on his face and then slaps his chest hard with a closed fist. Many fans hold up signs high that say “FSX fears Latino” and “Latino = LHW Champ” Latino slaps hands with many fans in the audience and then gives out a loud “Viva La Raza!” He jumps on the apron and then slides between the ropes as the fans are now chanting “Latino! Latino! Latino!” Latino jumps on the apron and once again slaps his chest once more and them points up to the sky as his opponent and challenge for the night is announced.
Phillip: And his opponent from Seoul, South Korea and the ACW Light-Heavyweight Champion…..Fallen Souls!!!
To Destination’s Eden starts to play throughout the speakers all over the arena and the fans do not hold back as they boo relentlessly. He looks around the arena and sees the many signs mentioned earlier and then shakes his head. He walks down to the ring with his title over his shoulder and the spotlight following along with him. The camera gets a close shot just as it glimmers in the light. Fallen Souls looks down in the ring at Latino and gives him a look as if to say “You better be ready” FSX slides under the ropes and then climbs the turnbuckle as he holds up the title that both men have sought after tonight. He looks back at Latino whom is more than ready as the bell sounds across the arena.
The Bell Rings.
Latino and Fallen Souls quickly lock up in the middle of the ring and both struggles for an early lead in the match. After a few brief seconds of struggle and fight for leverage both let go and jump back a few steps. Latino looks side to side with the signature smirk and FSX stares back as he contemplates his next move. Latino starts circling FSX as he taps him on the shoulder every few seconds. The crowd laughs a bit at Latino’s antics and then Latino gives Fallen Souls a big smack on the back of the head. FSX retaliates as he comes at Latino with a roundhouse kick. Latino ducks in the last few seconds before impacts and then charges with a shoulder block. Fallen Souls is lifted in the air from the move, but finally takes control as he counters it into a swinging Tornado DDT. Latino’s head slams hard and FSX kicks back up to his feet. He runs across the ring and springboards off the ropes with a legdrop onto Latino’s neck. Fallen Souls rolls over and grabs Latino by the hair, pulling him up and onto his feet. He punches him in the back of head once and then a second time as the fans start booing very loudly. Souls looks back at the audience with a smirk on his facea and then whips Latino towards the ropes. At the same time Fallen runs in the opposite direction, up the turnbuckle. He looks back for a split second and then dives off the turnbuckle towards Latino. FSX locks onto Latino for a hurricanrana and begins to swing but Latino grabs onto his ankles as well and holds on firmly. He swings around in the 360 motion repeatedly as FSX struggles to hold on. After the second spin Latino bends over and slams down Fallen Souls onto the mats. Still with a ton of momentum rushing through him FSX rolls against the mats and the hits the ropes. He falls over and onto his stomach barely conscious and very dazed out of his mind. Latino on the other hand is too dizzy to notice where FSX went to nor can he comprehend his own movements. He stumbles around as if he’s spent the night on a drinking binge and then nearly collapses into the ropes. The Referee quickly comes to his aid, but Latino thinking it is FSX goes for an elbow jab. Luckily the Referee ducks and jumps back as he holds his arms out in front of him to keep some distance. Latino suddenly jumps at the Referee and within the blink of the eye they are playing Tom and Jerry around the ring, with Latino as Tom. The Referee runs around trying not to get caught while Latino stumbles around from side to side. Fallen Souls slowly gets up and looks with surprise at the scene in front of him he waits for Latino to pass by and then gets to his feet. As the two come around again and the Referee passes, FSX quickly launches with his Silence Scissors Kick, nailing Latino right in the face. Fallen Souls lands on his feet and his opponent hits the mat hard. He quickly jumps on him for the cover while the Referee slides onto the mat near the two to count.
ONE!
TWO!

KICKOUT by Latino as the fans rejoice and are chanting his name louder now than ever. Fallen Souls gets to his feet and immediately starts stomping on Latino. He stands him up and then Irish Whips Latino straight into the corner. Fallen runs and jumps in the air. He swings his leg in a 360 degree motion and a loud SMACK is heard as boot collides with skin and bones. Latino falls against the ropes and barely hangs on as his arms are draped over them. Fallen Souls turns around and now becomes back to back with Latino. He reaches back and picks up Latino as he puts him on his back. Fallen Souls keeps a firm grasp of Latino’s arms and lifts him up higher putting him in position of the Macana’s Blade. Fallen Souls starts running across the ring and just as he reaches the other end throws Latino over the top rope. All the fans get up as they watch Latino fly through the air and the crash and burn as he slams into the mats. Blood is draped along the mat as the camera reveals that the fall definitely busted Latino open. He barely moves as the fans and cameraman watches him. The fans starting chanting “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!” Fallen Souls falls down to one knee as the match is now starting to get to him. The Referee calls out for officials and Fallen Souls looks around and the back down at Latino whom is barely moving. Officials run down and immediately start asking Latino questions and start wiping some of the blood away with a wet cloth and some alcohol. They lift him up onto his feet and start taking him away. The Referee watches as Latino is walked down the entranceway and the fans are not happy over this. They all start booing loudly and the Referee then looks over at Fallen, whom has a confused look on his face, and then calls over Phillip. He tells him something and Phillip quickly gets on the microphone.
Phillip: Ladies and Gentlemen due to injury……the winner of this match and STI-
Phillip stops talking as a commotion is heard from the entranceway. The cameras cut to the area and Latino is arguing with the officials. He pushes one away from him and then yells at the other one in Spanish. The official tries to reason with Latino but he pushes him away and then starts stumbling back to the ring. His right arm favors the back of his neck as Latino moves right to left. The Referee tells Phillip the match will go on and Fallen Souls looks as if he saw a ghost. Latino rolls underneath the ropes and gets back to his feet with help from the ropes. He looks directly at Fallen Souls and yells at him to come on as sweat and some blood from the fall runs down his face. After a few seconds, the two lock up again and then Latino quickly whips Fallen into the ropes. Upon FSX’s return, Latino jumps up with a spinning heel kick nailing directly on Fallen’s face. He rolls onto the mat and gets back to his feet after he falls back a few steps. Latino is also on his feet in a matter of seconds and is now running on pure adrenaline. He runs at FSX and nails him with a backhanded elbow and as Latino gets behind Fallen Souls he quickly grabs him and pulls off a bridging German Suplex. The Referee counts ONE! TWO! THR- kickout by Fallen Souls and fans all around the arena are booing madly. Latino rolls to the side, as he keeps a hold of Fallen’s neck. Both men are stood up onto their feet and Latino does one suplex. He shims his legs and is back onto his feet and he goes another suplex. Latino shimmies one more time and slams back with one final suplex as he completes the Three Shots and the fans are on their feet. Latino kicks back up onto his feet. He looks over the turnbuckle and then down at an unconscious Fallen Souls with a big grin on his face. Latino climbs to the top of the turnbuckle and then slams his chest with both fists. He jumps off with the Frog Splash. Fallen Souls rolls out of the way at the last second and Latino crashes down onto the mat. He looks around with arrogant smirk as it’s clear he was just playing possum. Fallen Souls lifts Latino onto his shoulder in a DVD move. He is just about to perform the move but then gives it a second thought. He starts to slowly climb up the turnbuckle and keeps his balance. Waiting a couple seconds to make sure he’s stable Fallen Souls spins Latino and with great height slams down Latino onto already injured neck and head with the Soul Harvest. FSX drapes his arm over Latino and the Referee counts.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Phillip: Here is your winner and STILL ACW Light-Heavyweight Champion…..Fallen Souls!!
Fallen Souls lays on his back as the Referee lays his title on his chest and raises his arm. The same Officials from before come back down to the ring as they check on the two superstars. FSX seems ok as he rolls out of the ring with his title and raises his arm once again in victory. The fans look on though as Latino is helped up onto his feet. He again starts to fight with the Officials and tries to walk away on his own. Latino stumbles to the right and nearly falls into the ropes. The Officials run to his side as they once again try to help but Latino yells at them to get away. He steps between the ropes and jumps down onto the mats. The fans are chanting his name as he walks down the aisle favoring the back of his neck and wiping some of the blood off his face.
Fade out.

Segment: I-Quit…(Credit: DD, WCW 98)
The ring crew-workers do their work in making sure the ring is fully ready for the I-Quit match next. But suddenly the lights slowly fade and the titantron flickers on, and the fans get ready to watch the video package prepared for this fight…
Words flicker on the screen, along with some dramatic music…
Livewire 31st October 2001
The challenge was set…a superstar finally born…
The first part shows a face Daredevil, however it is not in the federation of ACW as we know it. Instead it’s in the less-familiar (and now defunct) federation SWF. He’s holding the World belt of the time, and a microphone issuing out a number one contender’s challenge to both Tornado and Xylanic.
Livewire 6th November 2001
The match was set, and Tornado was set to become the number one contender…
The clip shows Tornado on the top rope ready to hit the whirlwind on Xylanic when Daredevil comes in, and attacks Tornado with a chair. Daredevil sets it up in the centre of the ring, and proceeds to hit the Shellshock B off the top rope. The sight of Tornado’s head vertically hitting and bouncing straight off the chair is sickening, and there are several cries from the crowd…
Mind Games 12th November 2001
So Daredevil faced Xylanic in the main event which he managed to win. Had Tornado defeated Xylanic the result might have all been so different…
It shows Daredevil hitting the Stunt Bomb on Xylanic, then several PPV names flash up on screen with pictures of DD holding aloft the World title on each occasion, before suddenly a large PPV name comes up and slowly fades into the background:
Wrestlebowl March 2002
The clip shows Daredevil finally losing his belt to Spike as a result of a Superkick, and DD shaking the hand of Spike at the end of their huge main event match.
Daredevil lost the World title, but his respect in the business he helped make remains in the memory of every single SWF wrestler and supporter.
The next clip shows Daredevil on the last ever Livewire, giving a memorable speech that had many fans and wrestlers close to tears as the countdown timer for the end of the show reached 0:00:00.
However whilst Daredevil was living out his dreams, others were not so unlucky.
It shows a home video shot by a friend of Tornado as he’s stuck at home in his bed, paralysed from the neck down. He tries to crack a small smile but everyone knows the future looks bleak for him.
Tornado recovered from paralysis after four months, but that was only the beginning to what has been years of painful neck operations, physiotherapy and worst of all, the loss of the sport he loved.
The clip shows Tornado getting wheeled into surgery, ready to have yet another neck operation.
But as the months went by, neither wrestler thought they were going to recover as operation botches and mental disorders hit both wrestlers. However both managed to see the light at the end of the tunnel…
Heatwave August 2004
Daredevil’s debut in ACW shows, from when he walks out of the titantron having just come out of a disorder to eliminating Monkey, Dream, Kid Krash and 004 before being eliminated himself. It also shows him narrowly losing the Bladeshadow in only his third match in the federation.
Meanwhile the next clip shows Tornado in an empty gym hall, taking hip tosses and arm drags from fellow wrestlers. He looks pleased with himself, showing off in front of the home camera, doing press-ups with one hand and such.
However full ring action was a million miles away from Tornado. Yet Daredevil continued living the life Tornado may well have had.
The clip shows Daredevil against Rena in a cage at EOTR’04, defeating Kane at Hellbound Heart for the Entertainment title, facing off against G-Unit in the Doomsday Cage at Bloody Valentine’05, Narrowly losing out to Senator at Genocide, defeating AJK Caveman at the third attempt at Omega Effect and just losing to RDK at EOTR’05.
But four years in the making, and the man known simply as Tornado is finally returns to wrestling.
Samhain 2005…
A clip of Tornado’s long-awaited return to wrestling:
DD: What happened at SWF should stay at SWF, so what you broke your neck. No-one gives a fuck! You didn’t deserve a shot at my title so I made sure you would never get one.
Tornado: You low-down filthy piece of scum!
Tornado raises his fist and makes to attack Daredevil, but thinks better of it. As his fist drops back down to his side Daredevil laughs.
DD: You always were pathetic. I mean look at you. You’ve come here, expecting to pick a fight with the best there is! After tonight, the Untouchables are going to become the greatest thing since sliced bread. I mean slow it down a little, at least go to Fallout or something and try your skills against the might of El Froggy or Gary.
Greed…
The clip shows DD attacking Tornado on the Meltdown after Samhain with a steel chair, before making a short promo:
DD: Listen ‘mate’. I may not have the World Heavyweight championship but that doesn’t mean I’m not the hottest star in ACW right now. And Tornado, you picked the wrong guy to mess with.
Desire…
The next clip shows a scene from later on that night when both WCW 98 and Daredevil get ambushed from behind by Tornado as a result of a steel chair.
Tornado: The hottest star in ACW eh? Well Dan, you were just paid a visit by the biggest rising star in wrestling.
The two decided to battle one-on-one in Yellowknife to end the feud once and for all…
Tornado now looks slightly concerned and tries to escape, but DD kicks him in the gut and plants him with a face-down DDT. DD rolls him over and makes the cover, but Tornado kicks out before three. DD hits the ground in annoyance and slides out the ring, grabbing a steel chair. The referee warns him not to use it but DD shoves him out the way, but before he can hit Tornado, Tornado plants him with a low blow. The fans begin to cheer as Tornado grabs the chair, and smacks it over the head of DD. Tornado then climbs the turnbuckle and hits the Whirlwind, landing on DD! He makes the cover: 1......2......3!!!
Philip: Here is your winner, Tornado!
However Daredevil refused to believe that Tornado had won, and gave Tornado the same treatment he had given him four years back…
The fans are on their feet cheering for Tornado as he celebrates his unlikely victory. WCW 98 is completely shocked as 40 Oz by Dr. Dre hits, and Tornado climbs the turnbuckle, throwing his arms up in the air to the fans. This gives WCW 98 an idea though, and he slides into the ring, grabbing the chair and smacking Tornado in the back with it. Tornado falls backwards like a stone into the ring, and WCW 98 lifts DD up, who is still a little shocked in the manner of losing. WCW 98 points at Tornado and DD lifts him up, and places Tornado on the top rope. WCW 98 sets the chair up and watches as DD hooks Tornado around the neck, and delivers the Shellshock B through the chair, completely destroying it. This results in excessive jeering from the fans, who taunt and abuse DD and WCW 98 as they walk out, having lost the battle but leading the war.
But unlike many in the past, Tornado refused to consider this battle over.
Tornado: You know what? I think I should feel great, nay, I know I should feel great but somewhere deep inside, I know that this isn’t over between me and Daredevil, and that’s simple. I managed to defeat him, yes I used a chair but come on, the match was a no DQ so you can hardly call in an ‘unfair advantage’, which is what the idea seems to be amongst the internet fans amongst us all. So I defeated him, one, two, three, and the match was done. The feud was over, and I was the one victorious. However Daredevil, being the overrated prima donna that he is he had to take revenge, and so hit that move which damn-near broke my neck again.
However once again Daredevil’s jealousy got the better of him…[/i]
Suddenly Tornado is ambushed from behind by Daredevil, who hits him in the back with a steel chair. DD then swiftly drops to the ground and locks in the Fujiwara Armbar, before locking in a scissors hold around the neck of Tornado. Tornado can do nothing but scream and tap out, and within seconds technicians and backstage staff are quick on the scene, but struggle to break DD off Tornado. Eventually they manage to break the hold and drag DD to his feet, holding him back. However DD has an odd smile over his face; it’s a smile that the elder ACW members at least are familiar with, and he keeps it plastered across his face as we fade out.
But again Tornado decided not to end it there and then.
Dan signs it and the delivery guy abruptly leaves. Dan smirks at his package, and slowly removes the parcel paper, revealing a box. He slowly opens the box, to reveal a black shirt. He pulls the shirt out of the box, and on the front, in big bold (and blocked) letters it bears ‘CYMRU FEVER 2005’. The crowd in the arena groan as the smile on the face of DD rapidly enlarges as he puts the T-Shirt on. Predictably, it fits and Dan shows it off in front of the camera. However suddenly he’s ambushed from behind and the fans cheer as it appears that Tornado has taken him down from behind! Tornado locks in the Fujiwara Armbar – the same move Dan had Tornado in last Meltdown – and like Dan, Tornado applies the legs scissor hold. However this time security guards and crew workers are quick on the scene, and manage to throw Tornado off DD before any damage is done. Tornado is taken away by the guards, but leaves with a smug grin on his face, knowing that he’s now gotten even with Daredevil.
And it led up to the two confronting each other one last time…
Dan: But that fact is Tornado that I never quit. The fire was still burning inside me. I still had that desire to wrestle and that’s what helped me raise from my problems. I admit that I’m not proud of what happened in the past, but what I am proud of is that I never once quit and said ‘oh well, that’s it, I might as well call the funeral service now’. And that is something that you cannot take away from me.
Tornado gets closer to the ring.
Tornado: But Dan, I never quit either. I never thought to myself that I wasn’t going to return to the ring. I was always determined, 100% sure that I would be back in the ring one day, and it would just be a matter of when. Much like you I never quit…
Dan: Seems like destiny when you think about it…
And it was only a matter of time before the challenge was finally made.
Tornado: Dan…you know you could actually be right…but it still won’t change my feelings towards you. I mean let’s take a look at our history: back in the SWF, you defeated me. I managed to defeat you last week in Yellowknife in the no DQ match. You assaulted me with a chair, and I gave you a taste of your own medicine. You locked in the Armbar on me in the back and I did the same to you…Macho Mania-
Dan –Cymru Fever-
Tornado: The name doesn’t matter. But I’m issuing a challenge to you Dan. I am asking you for a-
Dan: I accept your challenge for a match at the PPV this Saturday.
Before the Chairman of ACW decided to end this matter once and for all.
The clip shows Gingerdude’s theme hit and the fans cheering as Chairman Gingerdude walks down to the ring. It shows him (without sound) giving his thoughts on the matter before finally uttering that important sentence:
Gingerdude: Actually, since you two are so adamant in trying to get your opponent to admit he quits, your match at Macho Mania…
Gingerdude glares at Dan, who mouths ‘Cymru Fever’
Gingerdude: Shall be only the second ever ‘I-Quit’ match in the history of ACW!
…Two men that have spent a lifetime refusing to quit will finally face off against each other to see who will be the one to give up. One man who has been living a life he hasn’t deserved, and another who has been waiting four years for this moment. “I-Quit”…
The video package closes with the Alphatron showing the words ‘I-Quit’, with a picture of Daredevil on one side and Tornado on the other. The crowd bursts into applause as the video cuts off and the lights turn on as we go to commercial.
===============================
Match 6: I-Quit Match Daredevil vs. Tornado (Credit: DD)
The alphatron turns off, and we immediately cut towards the ring, where Philip is standing, holding a microphone in his hand.
Philip: The following match is an ‘I-Quit’ match! In order to win this match, you must make your opponent clearly speak the words ‘I quit’ into the microphone that I am holding.
’40 Oz’ by Dr. Dre hits, and the fans cheer as the lights fade. The music pumps to every corner of the arena, before a huge pyro lights up the arena, and Tornado appears at the titantron. He sprints down to the ring, leaping onto the apron and flipping over the ropes entering the ring. The fans cheer him on as he jumps onto the turnbuckle, throwing his arms in the air before jumping down and getting ready to fight his nemesis.
Philip: In the ring, from Manchester, England, weighing at 220 lbs…Tornado!
Suddenly a mix of the Welsh National Anthem hits, and the fans jeer as WCW 98 and Daredevil appear on the scene.
Philip: And being accompanied by WCW 98, representing the Untouchables and weighing at 225 lbs…the Welsh Dragon, Dan ‘Daredevil’ White!
The two men walk down to the ring; Tornado’s surprise victory less than two weeks ago still fresh in their mind as they slowly make their way down to the ring. WCW 98 climbs up the steel steps, with DD opting to take the rope way, mocking Tornado by flipping over the ropes before giving his foe the evil eye. WCW 98 quickly slides out the ring, and Philip drops the microphone in the ring as we start.
Bell Rings.
The two men continue locking their eyes with each other, before rushing towards each other and locking up in the centre of the ring. Neither man is able to gain the advantage, and so the hold is quickly shrugged off, but as Tornado turns DD rushes forward and takes Tornado down with a cheap shot to the neck. The crowd jeer this, quickly acknowledging Tornado’s neck previous problems as DD slides down to the ground, locking in a headlock. Tornado rolls over, breaking the hold and dropkicks DD onto the ground, which causes a small pop from the fans. However Tornado is pretty much no-nonsense here, jumping up and launching a huge Enziguri, knocking DD back down to the ground. Tornado lets out a small smirk, and picks DD up, but the world’s greatest Welsh wrestler fights back with a low blow. The fans clearly do not agree with this form of cheating, jeering the fans. WCW 98 meanwhile shouts abuse from the side of the ring, as DD hits a swinging Neckbreaker on Tornado. DD ponders something, and grabs the microphone. He waits in the corner for Tornado to stand, and as he does DD runs. However Tornado has other plans, ducking the microphone and hitting DD with a Running Headscissors, knocking him down to the ground into a sitting position. Tornado runs off the ropes, hitting a football kick to the back and the impact causes the arena to do a Ric Flair-style ‘woo’ chant. Tornado grins again, and lifts DD back to his feet, throwing him into the turnbuckle.
Tornado goes to throw DD into the opposite corner, but DD manages to reverse it, sending Tornado flying into the pads. DD then turns around, and undoes the top pad of the turnbuckle he is at, and grabs Tornado, aiming to throw him into the buckle. However Tornado reverses it, and DD flies into the buckle, falling down almost immediately with contact. Tornado starts to get the crowd going as he hits a Moonsault Splash on the former Lightweight champion, and he quickly follows it up with a Hogan-style leg drop. He now sees it right to grab the microphone, but before he can capitalise DD jumps up and hits the Stunt Bomb out of nowhere! The fans are very much surprised at the sudden outburst from DD, but it’s now clear that he wants to simply get the match over and done with as soon as possible. He grabs the microphone but pauses, and then oddly drops it. He then leaves the ring, and grabs a steel chair from the outside, bringing it back into the ring. DD waits in the corner as Tornado slowly rises, and he swings…however Tornado manages to perform a backflip, avoiding all contact with the chair, before hitting a spinning heel kick, sending the chair into the face of DD. This causes the fans to go utterly wild as Tornado slowly makes his way back to his feet, and he looks around searching for the microphone. He finds it, and goes to attempt DD to quit but WCW 98 tries to interfere. He grabs onto the foot of Tornado so Tornado turns around, and clocks the former chairman with the microphone!

Tornado turns around, but DD slips out of the ring, looking under the ring and grabbing several weapons. He throws a trash can, kendo stick and a two by four into the ring, proving that this match is about to get even more intense than ever. DD slips back into the ring, and avoids the hopeful clothesline by Tornado before taking him down with a jumping arm breaker. DD then grabs the kendo stick, and whacks it across the back of Tornado. The sound is incredible, and some members of the crowd even have their hands over their ears as DD continues the assault, up to the point where the kendo stick is almost demolished. DD then looks around, paying attention to the 4x2, and aims over the back of Tornado. However the Manc manages to roll out the way, jumping to his feet and hitting DD with a scissors kick, knocking the 4x2 out of his hands. Tornado then darts to behind DD, hitting a huge German Suplex that results in DD crashing through the trashcan. The fans again go nuts as Tornado rolls away, showing that the trashcan is almost completely flattened. Tornado slowly gets to his feet and grabs the 4x2, cracking it over the head of Daredevil. It smashes in two almost instantly with such impact, and Tornado sees the perfect chance to make DD quit. He grabs the microphone, shoves it in the face of DD and waits…:
DD: ………………………………..Not tonight, Tornado.
The arena sighs in disappointment as DD gives a small smirk amidst all the carnage around him. Tornado picks him up and boots him in the stomach, before resting him on the ropes. Tornado walks backwards, running at DD but DD pulls down on the ropes and causes Tornado to fly out of the ring. DD slides out the ring and quickly follows, and before too long the two are both on the ramp, beating the living daylights out of each other in a slow but tense fist fight. The referee grabs the microphone, and follows the two as they both walk up the ramp, occasionally throwing a punch on their way up beyond the Alphatron. They quickly leave the arena part, heading into the backstage where they both inadvertedly find a decent spot to continue their fight. When the camera finally catches up, DD has Tornado around the neck, throwing him into a huge pile/tower of cardboard boxes. The pile doesn’t fall, but Tornado still feels the pain of getting thrown head-first as DD takes time to recover. Tornado slowly gets up but DD whacks him down with the microphone. He then grabs a nearby hose, and starts wrapping it around the neck of Tornado causing him to choke. DD then grabs the hose, and throws Tornado into a piece of drywall, causing it to slowly break. He tries again, but Tornado manages to hit back, and the youngster takes DD down with a Roundhouse kick. He then takes his time in removing the hose from his neck, but instead of doing the seemingly obvious option on using it on Daredevil, he throws it away before picking DD back up.
Tornado lifts DD up, and throws him back into the drywall, causing it to break even further. Tornado lifts DD up again and goes to throw him, but this time DD resists and hits a Spinebuster out of completely no where. DD then drags Tornado over to the spot with the cardboard boxes, and grabs four of them, setting them up like a small ledge. He places Tornado on this ledge, and starts climbing this huge pile/tower of cardboard boxes, up to where he’s about 15 feet above Tornado. He grins, jumps, planting the Swanton Bomb perfectly, and landing on Tornado, completely destroying him and the boxes below. The fans back at the arena go completely nuts for this, but both men are laid out and it looks apparent that the match may have to be stopped. However DD slowly crawls, inch by inch and grabs the microphone off the cold hard floor, and turns around, shoving it in the face of Tornado. It takes DD a long time to make his request, largely due to having the wind knocked out of him entirely with that move.
DD: ………come on bitch…………do you quit?
There is silence. Tornado though slowly opens his eyes, and notices DD practically choking him with the microphone. Tornado slowly pushes the microphone up to his mouth, and gives his answer:
Tornado: ………………………No.
The arena practically explodes into joy as Tornado gives his answer. DD just rolls onto his back, extremely pissed off but knowing that he must keep it together in order to win. He takes a deep breath, performs the kip-up and looks at Tornado. DD scowls, lifting his opponent up and hooking him around the head, meaning that the Shellshock A is near. He lifts Tornado up, but the man from Manchester manages to reverse it into a small package which amazes the crowd, despite it not being a way to win the match. Thus he stops it immediately, and jumps up, ploughing DD with a huge clothesline. The fans are impressed by the kid’s quick rejuvenation, and he is quick to lift DD up, throwing him throw that drywall. DD gets cut open badly here, and the blood quickly gushes out his forehead and into a puddle where he lies. The crowd then slowly cheer, as Tornado climbs the dry wall, and looks at DD who is about 7 feet below. Tornado performs the Whirlwind Corkscrew 450, hitting DD perfectly – despite delivering physical damage to himself at the same time. Tornado checks his abdomen, which is thankfully ok, before shouting at the referee for the microphone. The referee hesitates, before managing to get it and give it to Tornado. Tornado now smirks, shoving it in the mouth of DD:
Tornado: All right there bitch?
The fans are silent, quietly awaiting the answer from Daredevil as Tornado starts choking DD at the same time.
DD: ………………………Never!

Tornado throws the microphone down in annoyance. He’s clearly pissed off that his opponent didn’t give up after nearly risking his life in that move. He looks over at Daredevil, and notices that the blood is rushing quickly out of his opponent’s forehead. Tornado hatches an idea, and grabs the microphone, smashing open the wound even more and this result in more blood loss for Daredevil. He screams in pain, almost to the point of begging to have Tornado stop and eventually he does, but only to rest before opening the wound again. The sight is almost disgusting, and DD resorts to the tactics he does best: an eye rake with a blood-stained finger. Tornado jumps off in pain, as though he’d just been infected with RAGE and this allows DD to slowly climb to his feet. He knocks Tornado down with a skilfully-hit Enziguri, and Tornado falls backwards through a door. DD follows Tornado through the door, which shows to be the car park of the arena. DD grabs Tornado by the head, but Tornado hits back with a shot to the ribs, and hits a low blow. He then walks backwards, before running at DD but DD manages to grab the arm of Tornado, locking in the Fujiwara Armbar. This is what the fans dreaded, especially after it was DD that got Tornado to tap last Monday, but this time DD takes no chances and locks in the headlock with the legs. He manages to grab the microphone off the floor, and shoves it into the mouth of Tornado:
DD: Listen bitch. There’s only one way out of here, and that’s by quitting.
Tornado: DD, I’ve never –ARGHHH- quit in my entire life!
Tornado then manages to push his legs against the wall, and roll over 360 degrees. DD lets go of Tornado, and quickly jumps up, holding Tornado around the waist. He goes for a German Suplex, but Tornado struggles free, and hits the Pele Kick! The fans go mental as Tornado slowly crawls over, and begins punching DD in the face. DD manages to throw Tornado off however, and he jumps to his feet, running at Tornado. But this time Tornado reverses it, and as expected into the Fujiwara Armbar! The fans are clearly heard cheering Tornado on, hoping that he can make Daredevil give up as Tornado repeats DD, locking in the scissors headlock. DD seems to have no option but to tap, as it seems apparent that Tornado shows no intention in giving up the hold. However DD manages to grab the microphone with his foot, and manages to kick it far out of reach of Tornado. The fans jeer this, however they still know that this is very much a legal move to do, and Tornado only looks back in despair, the microphone proving to be too far away for him to take. Therefore he is forced to let go of the hold, and DD immediately grabs his shoulder and rubbing it, in relief that the hold was finally broken. Tornado grabs the microphone, and tries locking in the Half Crab but DD kicks him off and Tornado flies into the wall, which finally cuts his forehead open. DD tries to capitalize on the situation, hitting a Russian Leg Sweep but the move appears to have done just as much damage to him as it did Tornado.
The two continue resting, and finally there is some movement as DD slowly reaches up to his feet. He looks around, noticing the microphone close to him, and he slips it into his pocket. He then lifts Tornado up, and the two begin the slowest ever fist fight, with both aiming for the crimson mask that has plastered each other’s foreheads. They slowly make their way to a limousine, and not only that but a white one (meaning it’s none other than Chairman Gingerdude’s car). The two begin fighting around it, and Tornado grabs the head of DD, smashing it through the driver’s side window. A large ‘NOOOOOO’ can be heard far in the distance, like it matters to DD and Tornado as they both make their way to the roof of the car. There they exchange fists again, and DD takes the upper hand, delivering a huge blow to the head of Tornado. DD lifts him up again, and goes for the Welsh Destroyer on the car. He lifts Tornado up with the Neckbreaker, but Tornado somehow manages to reverse it into a DDT. The fans cheer as DD’s head smashes through the sun roof, and another large groan can be heard from a particular area of the arena. However Tornado isn’t done and he finds a small ledge in the wall next to the parked car. He jumps off, hitting the Whirlwind but DD manages to move at the final moment, and Tornado lands on the car, almost destroying the roof. The fans groan, but still not as much as that certain voice from backstage and DD drags Tornado off the chairman’s car.
DD rests Tornado against the wall, and grabs a nearby chair. He starts beating the living hell out of Tornado, and there’s nothing the man can do but just watch and try to avoid the onslaught of the chairs whacking him in the face, chest, legs and arms. The camera focuses on the face of DD, and he looks like a mad man as he refuses to back down, and just keeps smashing his long-time enemy up, to a point where Tornado is almost unrecognisable. His entire body is covered in blood and bruises, and he looks completely out of it. DD goes for about the third minute of assault, before almost collapsing on the floor in exhaustion. He grabs the microphone, and slowly sticks it to the mouth of Tornado.
DD: Do……do……do you quit?
Tornado is eerily silent. Daredevil’s eyes widen as he suddenly realises what he may have done. However Tornado opens his eyes, and looks at the microphone. He speaks, spluttering out blood as he gives his answer:
Tornado:…………………………………………I………………………………………I…….…………………………………I quit…
Both Daredevil and Tornado fall to the ground at this point out of complete exhaustion. Meanwhile the camera cuts back to the arena, where they are almost completely gobsmacked at the end of the match.
Philip: Uhm…Here is your winner…Dan ‘Daredevil’ White.
We cut back to the parking lot, where it seems the result of the match is completely irrelevant as an ambulance appears on the scene, as well as an extra stretcher. Gingerdude also appears on the scene, however it’s painfully obvious that he’s not as concerned about his car as he is his wrestlers. The EMTs lift DD onto the stretcher, and he is able to sit up and watch as Tornado is taken away on the ambulance stretcher, and taken into the ambulance. The fans are almost silent as this happens, but burst into a huge standing ovation as Tornado is driven out of the arena.
Fade Out.

Match 7: ACW International Title Match Russian Chain Stipulation BK London vs. Hitman of the Gods
Anticipation has been building all week for the main event, and the crowd hushes itself as the crew brings in the necessary equipment; the touch sensitive pads, the emergency-style flashing beacons, four in blue and four in red, and most dauntingly of all the thick chain which will link the two participants as they contest the match. Philip steps over the chain, and starts to speak.
Philip: Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight’s main event is a Russian Chain match for the ACW International title. The competitors can only secure victory by illuminating all four of their beacons, through making contact with the turnbuckle pads at each corner. Whoever manages to do this first will be declared the winner of the match. The competitors will also be linked by the chain you see at my feet, it is impossible for the chain to be removed without the key which will be held by the timekeeper.
The crowd murmurs, discussing the stipulations afresh, until Philip speaks again.
Philip: Please welcome first, the challenger… From Mount Olympus, accompanied by "The Mistress of Ancient Greece" Athena, he is "The Wrecking Ball Sent From Greece", this is Hitman of the Gods!
”Going Postal” plays, and Hitman emerges carrying his trusty hammer, with Athena at his side. They walk to the ring with cheers echoing all around them; Athena gives Hitman a few last words of advice before Hitman enters the ring alone. Athena returns to the back, anxious not to allow herself to become a distraction in what is likely to be a highly challenging contest. Hitman stands still as the referee attaches one end of the chain, and confirms that it is secured tightly.
Then, “Diamonds” hits, and there is a loud surge of boos as BK walks out into the light, defiantly holding up his belt.
Philip: And his opponent, from Brooklyn, New York… he is the reigning ACW International Champion, BK London!
BK ignores the fans as he approaches the ring; the same look of intensity seen on his face earlier is still present. He enters the ring, and calmly gives the referee his title; the referee places it on the mat as he attaches the other end of the chain to BK, and then passes both the belt and the key to an official on the outside. Philip takes his leave, and the crowd gets noisy again as the referee calls for the bell.
Bell Rings.
The chain clanks gently on itself as BK and Hitman stare one another down. They shift their feet slightly, testing the weight as they move around, and then Hitman makes a split second decision. He turns around and strides purposefully across the ring, directly to the nearest of the four corners; BK grabs the loose chain at once and takes up the slack, trying to halt his foe’s progress. But BK is about to get a critical lesson as the chain tightens; Hitman is restrained for a few seconds, but then smiles, and puts his full effort into moving forward. BK is not ready for the sheer power of his foe, and is almost dragged off of his feet – and Hitman reaches out and almost casually strikes the turnbuckle pad, setting off the short siren burst as his first lamp is illuminated.
Hitman smirks, and starts to make his way toward the second corner. BK has only a moment to decide how to react, and he opts to dash across the ring and cut Hitman off by clubbing him in the back, using the spare chain around one arm to make his strikes more effective. Hitman again tries to muscle his way forward, but BK grabs his arm and whips him away from him in the opposite direction; this time BK is prepared, and as he yanks the chain sharply Hitman’s progress is halted, and he crashes to the mat. BK’s over there like a shot, and he gives Hitman a few stomps. Hitman gets up as quickly as he can, but momentary disorientation costs him dearly as BK nips over and hits the nearby turnbuckle to even up the score. There is another, slightly higher-pitched siren wail, and the crowd is rapt, watching to see how this battle of brawn and brain is going to play out.
Annoyed at losing his slight lead, Hitman moves in close to BK, and batters him with a ferocious storm of forearm blows. BK reels, and tries to back off, but Hitman puts a foot on the trailing chain and prevents his foe’s escape, keeping close and delivering a stream of further punches. The crowd has started chanting for Hitman, which in actual fact seems to make BK rally, and he kicks his opponent in the gut as hard as he possibly can, once, twice, three times, and then with a great effort delivers a ring – shaking suplex. Hitman groans, and BK moves swiftly along the ropes toward the nearest unlit corner… but when he’s only a couple of feet away, he finds himself restrained once again by the chain. Looking back over his shoulder, he sees that Hitman’s bodyweight is trapping some of the slack; BK rolls his eyes and tugs on the chain, trying to free it. The movement, however, alerts Hitman to the situation, and he grabs hold of the chain as he sits up. A mammoth tug of war breaks out as BK strains to pull enough chain free to reach the turnbuckle, while Hitman does his best to reel BK in; BK has adjusted his stance so that now the result is an energy-busting stalemate. Realising that he’s going to come off worst in such a situation, BK abruptly stops and runs back at his opponent, going for a swift kick to the head; Hitman throws himself sideways so that BK misses and kips up in a highly impressive fashion for such a big man… but BK has reached the ropes, and he jumps up to the second, twisting in the air to land an axehandle strike to Hitman as he descends. Hitman staggers backward a few paces, which is exactly what BK wants – he dashes past his foe, and this time manages to reach his target turnbuckle. His second red light is illuminated, and Hitman curses under his breath as BK completes the turnaround to make the score 2-1.

Three corners now have illuminated beacons on them, and Hitman sees a quick way to hit back – he charges at BK who is still standing in the corner, and splashes him with his bulk, making the crowd cringe a little. BK is dazed, but forces himself to stay on his feet and defends the corner, laying into Hitman’s abdomen with piston-punches and pushing him back by a couple of feet so that he cannot reach the touch pad. Looking less than impressed, Hitman socks BK with a powerful elbow and then lifts his foe with a standing back drop, that makes the crowd cry out at its height and power. The way is clear for Hitman… but he has forgotten about the lengthy chain, and as BK lands, Hitman is jerked back – the chain has inadvertently wrapped itself around his neck. BK feels the vibration as Hitman strikes the canvas, and jumps back up to his feet; he makes full use of the chain’s status as a legal weapon and pulls, choking his opponent in a very nasty fashion. The crowd cries out in alarm; Hitman grabs at the chain, but it is too thick and strong for him to simply pull loose. With his air supply cut off, no one could blame Hitman for becoming panicked, but the 7ft powerhouse slowly begins to shuffle backward toward BK. BK gathers the slack, and when he’s about 3 feet away Hitman sinks to his knees; BK can scent the metaphorical blood, and moves in close to attack Hitman’s exposed back. And then Hitman springs his surprise, and shifts his hands from his neck to grab the taut chain itself; with a mighty effort, he swings BK round like a hammer throw, releasing his neck in the process. BK rolls on landing, and using adrenalin to power through, Hitman gets up, lifts his opponent and performs his Military press to a huge pop. BK grimaces at the impact, and Hitman heads for the corner that BK has so far prevented him from reaching.
BK’s internal fires are undiminished, even if his body certainly knows now that it’s in a real brutal fight. He gets on his feet, and as he sees Hitman reach out for the turnbuckle, he dashes across at him and literally uses most of his body to strike Hitman, and send the pair of them tumbling out of the ring. The crowd yells, and this slightly muffles the sound of a siren howl; lying on the outside mats, BK swears under his breath as he sees that Hitman just managed to connect with the touch pad before being carried to the outside. Fired up, BK launches himself into a stream of kicks, driving Hitman back against the apron; Hitman, however, holds his nerve and then makes the crowd yell out with a vicious headbutt that makes BK dizzy. Hitman whacks BK with a huge arm, and lays him out on the mat; then, with an arm raised, he gets on the apron, and drops off it into a mighty splash. With the chain lying on top of BK, Hitman’s move does him some damage as well… but the big man sucks up the pain, and then gets back into the ring by rolling under the bottom rope. BK, still dazed, gets on the apron and makes the mistake of forgetting the chain; he jumps over the ropes, and as he goes for a dropkick the caught chain is pulled tight, so that BK’s move fails to connect. Smirking, Hitman aims for a powerful elbow drop to his foe’s throat, but BK rolls out of the way drawing the chain with him, and Hitman is pulled across the ring to the apron. BK keeps pulling, and Hitman’s limb is wrenched in a most painful fashion; Hitman grabs the bottom rope and fights to hold on.
Another stalemate is the result of the two mens’ choices; BK does not have sufficient energy to pull his massive opponent forcefully over the top. But in fact this is a moot point, as Hitman has no intention of standing around; he gets to his feet and steps over the ropes, just as BK also changes tactics and runs toward Hitman, going for a high momentum move. Hitman readies, and sends the crowd wild as he catches BK and lifts his feet off the ground… the roar is incredible as Hitman completes the chokeslam, and stands over his foe, absorbing the energy of the fans. The turnbuckles are open, but Hitman has another idea; he gathers up some of the free chain, and then makes the audience gasp as he “whips” BK first on the chest, and then on the back as BK rolls over to protect himself. Smirking, Hitman leans forward to pick up BK again – but then BK turns over and kicks upward, striking Hitman hard in the abdomen. Rolling out from underneath his foe, BK shoves Hitman to the mat face first, and then sends the crowd bonkers by applying the make or break. Hitman stifles a cry of pain, and taps after a few seconds, but this is of no use in this match, and BK continues to hold on to Hitman’s ankle while stomping on the back of his knee joint. Then, he edges toward the corner with Hitman’s beacon lit, but not his own, and only releases the hold when he is certain that he can reach the turnbuckle before Hitman can respond. The crowd is on its feet as BK triggers his third beacon, and all eyes turn to the one unlit blue lamp, so tantalizingly close…

BK’s body is heading toward the fourth turnbuckle before his mind can weigh up all the options, and a livid Hitman gets on his feet, and yanks on the chain as hard as he can. BK is taken off his feet, and smacks into the mat; Hitman storms over, and grabbing on to BK’s wrists, he makes a sort of “lasso” motion over his head. Then as the crowd watch in amazement, Hitman starts to turn slowly, then speeds up, and as he builds momentum BK’s feet lift off the floor. Hitman manages a complete rotation before releasing BK, sending him hurtling toward the corner that has just BK’s beacon illuminated. The chain tightens just in time to stop BK hitting the obstacle, but it’s still a wince inducing moment, and Hitman walks over almost casually to where BK is lying still on the mat. He lifts BK on to his broad shoulders, and then taps the turnbuckle to bring the match down to “sudden death”. Both unlit beacons are in the same corner, and Hitman knows he has to put BK away before making his play for victory…
The fans know what they want, and yell “Zeus!”; Hitman doesn’t need to be told twice, and delivers the F5 with stunning power and spin. The ring creaks at the impact, but Hitman doesn’t notice; he’s already up, and moving toward the last turnbuckle. The crowd goes bananas… but then Hitman is stopped in his tracks as the chain tightens. The camera flashes back to BK, who is rolling over and over, wrapping himself in the chain to restrain his opponent. With a little difficulty, BK gets up on his feet; his arms are restrained, and Hitman almost laughs at the sight… but BK shuts his mouth with an incredibly high angled dropkick that makes Hitman drop to his knees. Spinning on the spot to unwrap himself, BK staggers dizzily toward the turnbuckle; Hitman can see the chain trailing, and grabs it before it becomes fully extended and allows BK to reach his destination. The initial jerk pulls BK back a few steps, but BK sets his body and mind on one goal, and Hitman has to use all his strength to try and hold BK back as he moves, inch by inch, toward his target.
It doesn’t matter that the whole thing is played out in slow motion; the fans hang on every single second as BK edges closer and closer, and Hitman slowly stands up, and creeps nearer to his opponent. The fans know that something has to give… and as Hitman comes in touching distance of BK, he pulls hard on the chain one last time to try and unbalance his opponent, and then literally throws himself at the turnbuckle. But BK is not fully unbalanced, and as he feels the rush of air as Hitman passes, he too commits everything, and throws himself forward side by side. Cameras flash capturing the pivotal moment; for the fans watching it all happens too fast to make sense of at first, and all they see is Hitman and BK crash into the turnbuckle and then drop to the mat, both stunned. Both lights go off at once, and the referee calls for the bell; he slides out of the ring, and goes to the video replay to see what happened.
The fans watch the alphatron, and the truth is finally known… there is no way to split the two men, and their hands connect at precisely the same moment. The referee checks with the other ringside officials, and then Philip steps forward to announce the result.
Philip: Ladies and Gentlemen, the result has just been confirmed via video playback… this match is declared to be a draw! Therefore, retaining his title and STILL ACW International Champion…. BK London!
The crowd groans at the result, but there is plenty of cheering as BK takes his belt back. Bruised and exhausted, he waits for the referee to release him before getting up on the turnbuckles; Hitman looks away, clearly extremely disappointed. But he has the consolation of knowing that BK did not manage to defeat him, and the crowd’s response lifts his spirit a little. He watches BK walking back up the ramp, and is seen to mouth the words “Next time” silently to his oblivious foe, as the show starts to fade to black….
…but this is not the end, oh no. For someone is waiting in the back, with a hard-won prize and the intention to use it….

Segment: Unfinished Business (Credit: Hunter)
We return from the commercial break to find the arena still jam-packed, though a few of the audience members are calling it a night and are heading home. Technically, the show is over...but that won't stop anyone. "Painkiller" hits the speakers and everyone who was leaving instantly rushes back to his or her seat to find out what's going on. Hunter comes out to a large pop from the crowd, but there's something different about him. It's not the large grin he's sporting (it's always there), but it happens to be the briefcase he holds in his hand. He slides into the ring with the briefcase and grabs a mic from one of the stagehands.
Hunter: Ah, this has been quite a PPV, am I right?
He emits yet another large pop from the crowd.
Hunter: As I was heading back to the arena after my match with Davey, a thought popped into my head. I noticed that RDK, our World Champion, the man after whom this PPV is named...does not have a match. Sure you've seen him today, but you fans never got the pleasure of seeing him wrestle on his very own show. Well, I talked to Ginger, and that's all about to change.
He holds up the briefcase.
Hunter: Some of you may remember a little match called...Hardcore Haven. In said match I defeated TNT and won this very briefcase. What's in here? A contract for a future World Title shot. I've been carrying this around for nearly seven months, and here today I've decided to use it. Ginger agreed, but he said there's one, and only one condition...the Champion must agree. So, I call---
"Macho Man" hits the speakers and every fan leaps out of their seats to applaud their Champion. He walks down the ramp with the title around his waist, then gets into the ring and looks at Hunter with a surprised look on his face.
RDK: So...you want a match?
Hunter: Right here, right now.
RDK: Well then...IT'S ON BRUDAH! WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN MACHOMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU!?!?! OoOoOoOoOoOoOoH YEAH!!!
The fans pop and the two men shake hands. Hunter kicks the briefcase out of the ring and the two stretch a little before a referee runs into the ring.
Bell Rings.

Match 8: ACW World Title Match – Macho Man RDK vs Hunter
The fans have barely had time to take in what’s just occurred, but RDK and Hunter are already grappling, pushing hard against each other and looking for an early advantage. Perhaps understandably, Hunter gets the best of this initial scuffle, driving RDK back a few paces and then executes a sharp suplex. RDK rolls back to his feet at once and makes a dash at Hunter, elbowing him in the upper body so that Hunter is distracted momentarily from the unbalancing effect of the impact. This lets RDK pull off a very fast snap suplex of his own, and the fans pop for the champ as RDK lets Hunter get up before giving him a glance and the famed Macho eyebrow. Hunter just smiles, and proves that he’s not been seriously affected by launching into a stream of forearm and elbow strikes; RDK takes him on head to head, and for a good 15 seconds the pair match one another, blow for blow, demonstrating just how toughened they both are to this sort of punishment. RDK is the first to switch to alternative tactics, realizing that he has no advantage in a straight-up confrontation. He dodges a blow from Hunter, and then runs at the ropes to rebound into an attack with considerable momentum. Hunter prepares to meet him, and it’s not certain until the last second who will come out on top – as RDK goes for a clothesline, Hunter counters with a back body drop… but even as he lands, RDK reaches out and grabs Hunter by the calves, pulling him over backward and sitting up into a pin. The ref slides in and counts, and Hunter breaks free at the 2 count, looking just a little surprised at RDK’s trick. The crowd chants “Macho Man!”, and RDK looks confident as Hunter gets to his feet and resumes the contest.
The two men circle, each looking for some sort of clue as to how their opponent is going to act. The gap gets smaller, and a few more forearm blows are thrown and parried until Hunter sidesteps and then moves behind RDK, kicking him in the lower back. RDK stumbles a step or two, but realizes the potential danger and turns it into an opportunity, running to the ropes again and then dashing back toward Hunter. Hunter readies himself to meet the attack, and ducks under RDK’s outstretched arm; RDK turns on a dime and tries to kick Hunter in the ribs, but Hunter rolls to one side, returns to his feet standing to RDK’s left, and lifts him directly into a backbreaker, dropping to one knee to plant RDK on to the other. RDK grimaces as Hunter keeps a hold and repeats the move a second time, and then a third, before allowing his foe to fall to the mat; Hunter makes a cover, and gets almost a 2 count for his efforts. Though RDK’s kick is strong, Hunter has clearly left an impression on his back that RDK will have to endure for the remainder of the match, and Hunter decides that his best chance of success is to try and wear RDK down systematically to the point where he can make a successful pin. This of course is far easier said than done, and RDK proves the point right away, getting on to his feet before Hunter and letting rip with a stream of his underhook rib punches. Hunter has to back off to protect himself, but RDK uses this chance to send Hunter into the nearby ropes, and Hunter rebounds at speed straight into one of RDK’s popular Samoan drops. The landing is hard, and RDK goes for a cover – but Hunter kicks well before the 2 count, and his fans start to take heart and make themselves heard above the general swell of support for the champion.
Hunter is benefiting from a surge of energy, and he continues his aggressive agenda, this time whipping RDK hard into the corner and then making the crowd yell as he builds on this with one of his killer Spears. RDK grunts, and tries to pull himself up to a standing position using the ropes, but Hunter is eager to capitalize as much as possible, and stomps away at RDK’s lower body. In his haste, however, Hunter doesn’t watch his opponent quite as closely as he otherwise might, and RDk reaches out behind him, holds the base of the ringpost, and then suddenly swings his body around and out of the ring to escape the assault. Getting his feet to the floor, RDK runs around to the adjacent side of the ring, leaps up on to the apron and then springboards toward a charging Hunter, bringing him down powerfully with a flying clothesline that makes an audible SMACK sound as RDK’s arm connects with Hunter’s body. RDK rolls through on landing, and with Hunter still down and a little dazed, RDK takes the opportunity presented to him and applies his Texas Cloverleaf. Hunter’s eyes widen at the pain from the hold, and he knows then that RDK is using a strategy very similar to his own; he looks for the ropes, but the clothesline brought him down in the middle of the ring. Instead, Hunter musters his energy, and forces his way free; RDK resists at first, but then decides that his own strength would be better applied elsewhere, and the pair separate. They are on their feet in a matter of seconds, and they each try to grasp the other for a power move; there is a struggle, but the end result is that Hunter manages to come out on top and pulls off a standing version of the Dynamite. Always an effective move, RDK is left dazed and Hunter goes for a pin right away. He gets just slightly past the 2 count, and now the fans can sense that this is far more than just an “extra treat”…. Could the Macho Man be about to lose his crown at his very own PPV?

The same thought has possibly just raised its head in RDK’s mind. Certainly, RDK gets up with a look of fresh determination on his face; he looks around at the crowd, and his fans respond by increasing their chants of “R-D-K! R-D-K!”. Hunter feigns annoyance, but the truth is that he expects nothing less, and so it does not distract him from his goal. He swings a high angled kick at RDK, who ducks and then garbs Hunter’s arm to whip him away, but Hunter reverses the whip and RDK bounces back straight into a big boot which is the prelude for a mighty belly to belly suplex. Hunter moves over for a cover, but RDK pushes him away before the count can start and rolls back to his feet. Hunter stays close, doing his best to keep the pressure on his opponent, but proximity can be risky, and RDK turns things around in an instant by parrying Hunter’s elbow strike and lifting him directly into a stalling vertical suplex. RDK stalls for almost 10 seconds, thrilling the assembled fans, before completing the move; he makes a pin, and gets a solid 2 count out of it. The fans are engrossed by the intensity and closeness of the match, especially given that RDK was not expecting to wrestle and that Hunter has already been through one strenuous competition during the show. It’s taking a little longer for both men to get back on their feet now, but the determination in their eyes has only become stronger; for another three to four minutes, the action swings first one way and then the other, with the two competitors chipping away at each other’s defences. The crowd continues to cheer, but they know that someone is going to have to find a way to break the deadlock; unbeknownst to them, that moment is about to occur…
RDK and Hunter are locked up again on one side of the ring. RDK comes off best, pushing Hunter back along the line of the ropes until the pair of them end up in the corner. RDK gets on to the second rope, looking for a height advantage as he delivers a counted 10 punch; he reaches 7, but then Hunter blocks him and rakes RDK across the eyes, buying himself time to climb fully up the ropes. He holds RDK’s head, looking to launch a move from his elevated position, but RDK responds by punching Hunter in the gut and then climbing up on to the third rope. The two men struggle, and somehow they become unbalanced; Hunter is the first to realize what is happening, and just about manages to pivot around so that instead of RDK landing on top of him, he lands on top of RDK. But it’s still a long drop for both men, and the crowd cries out in alarm as they tumble to the outside. The referee slides out of the ring, and comes over to see if both men are ok. Both are stirring, much to the crowd’s relief, and slowly they get on their feet; RDK uses the safety barriers to pull himself up, and the lucky fans at the front press forward to pat their hero on the back and encourage him on. Hunter, having taken less of the impact, sees RDK standing back up, and runs forward, clubbing him on the back. There’s a mixed response from the crowd, and RDK turns around to push Hunter back a step or two before laying into him with a burst of rapid overhand punches. Hunter responds in kind, and then sees the chance he’s waited for. He grabs RDK and throws him directly at the ring post; RDK hits it hard, making the fans gasp, and he staggers backward… but as Hunter moves in, RDK suddenly turns around, kicks Hunter in the gut and then sends the crowd nuts by dragging Hunter with him as he runs at the steel steps. RDK executes the Bulldog; there is a great BANG as Hunter’s head connects with the metal, and Hunter slumps to the floor. RDK looks at Hunter, and then stumbles, the effects of his own impact very clear indeed; he lifts Hunter up and pushes him into the ring, and then follows by rolling in himself. The two men lie still, and the referee starts a 10 count on them (having just aborted the previous one for countout) and the fans have no idea if either man can respond…
The referee’s count is at 5 before there is any sign of movement from either RDK or Hunter. The ref continues, and at 7 both men are sitting up. They hold the ropes, and RDK is standing just before the 9; he staggers away from the edge of the ring just as Hunter gets himself into a vertical position, beating the ref’s count by the narrowest of margins. He and RDK gaze at one another; they can both sense, now, that victory is within reach. But neither man is ready to give in, and with the noise at a stupendous volume, they throw themselves into battle without reserve. Punches are traded, and both men rock a little at each impact… but they stay on their feet, and Hunter makes the first real stab at glory by sidestepping a slightly wild blow from RDK, lifting his opponent on to his shoulders, and then delivering the delightfully monikered Land Mine Dolphin. Impressive as the move is in isolation, the fans know that it’s really just the set-up for the APM, and as Hunter uses a precautionary elbow drop, the crowd is divided between a sizable contingent willing Hunter to victory, and the rest of the audience yelling at RDK to get clear. But Hunter won’t be stopped; with his heart in his mouth he hits the full APM and drops into the pin, the ref drops with him, 1….2…- RDK gets an arm in the air, and the arena is filled with both groans and cheers. Hunter takes a deep breath, concealing a sigh from his opponent – he isn’t about to let his frustration show. Equally, RDK hides the pain he’s feeling in his back and limbs, not wanting Hunter to see how close he came to winning. With the crowd close to losing it entirely, Hunter and RDK launch themselves at one another again, and this time RDK sends his fans berserk with the Jabroni Buster – 1….2….thr – Hunter kicks, and now the situation is reversed. The fans don’t know what to think, and Hunter and RDK smile at one another, almost amused by the deadlock, as they haul themselves up, aching and sore, and look upon one another as they pace slowly around the ring.

The match has not been the longest in ACW by any stretch of the imagination, but Hunter and RDK have conducted the whole thing at a level of intensity rarely achieved even by ACW standards. There has to be a resolution, the fans know it, the crew knows it, and the two men in the ring know it. They approach one another without fear, driven more by their desire to prove their greatness than by a materialistic hunger for metal and cowhide. Hunter is reminded of his epic encounter with the Senator a couple of months back, and despite the fatigue he tries to consciously place his strikes where he knows they will damage his opponent the most, while simultaneously protecting his own vulnerable spots. He lacks the Senator’s pinpoint precision, but even so the technique brings rewards; RDK starts to look more ragged with every second, and with the crowd’s roar almost painful in his ears, Hunter connects a blow to the side of RDK’s head, and things seem to slow down for him as he lifts his opponent up into a vertical suplex position, stalls for what is in reality only a few seconds but to him seems like a lifetime, and then drops him down into the rockbottom finish to complete the Shotgun. As if in a daze, Hunter makes the pin, and watches in a disconnected sort of way as the referee drops and counts, 1……2….thr-
-And RDK kicks, his fans go berserk, and reality intrudes on Hunter’s trance, snapping him back to the present. Hunter does not panic; he is the first on his feet, and amid the thunderous waves of sound he lifts RDK again. He knows that no one can withstand a second Shotgun in succession…. But so does RDK, and calling on all the energy that he has been drawing together, he resists Hunter before he can lift him fully to the vertical, and as his feet touch the mat, RDK reverses the move into his own Macho Slam, delivered with all the strength that he has. The impact to Hunter’s head as he lands scrambles his thoughts and sense of time, so that as RDK almost falls into the cover, he is not able to connect the sound of the referee hitting the mat with the necessary physical response until it is too late. The referee counts the 1….2….3, and the arena explodes with cheering as the bell rings.
Philip: Here is your winner, and STILL ACW World Champion…. The Macho Man, RDK! RDK gets up and listens to the crowd acclaim his victory. Even Hunter’s supporters are cheering for the incredible match, and RDK finds this particularly satisfying. Hunter, resilient as ever, gets back on his feet, and the crowd redoubles its applause; RDK walks over to Hunter, and the pair have no hesitation in shaking hands and congratulating one another. As RDK holds up his belt in one hand, he and Hunter hold up their linked arms, and continue to celebrate as the PPV comes to its conclusion.
The first half of ACW’s tour has been exceptionally successful… what will the second half bring?
The longest night approaches….. and this year, Winter will bring more than simple discontent in its wake… it will bring faces old and new to rock ACW to its very foundations.
Fade to Black.
End of show.
