Golden Ticket Treasure Hunt – Part 4
We return to our roving cameras, to find that the scene being shown is that within the ACW kitchens. The roster and crew are a hungry lot, and the catering staff work hard to keep everyone supplied with food… but this evening, their progress in this task is stopped in its tracks as Santiago Rivera bursts in, and everyone looks up to see what’s going on.
Santiago: All of you guys, I suggest you SCRAM!
Being of sound mind, the kitchen staff at once take the hint, pausing only to turn off any gas burners or other equipment which could become damaged if left unattended. Santiago walks around, and smiles; the briefcase might be here, and even if it isn’t, he has a great chance to take one or more of his opponents out of the hunt…
For a minute or two, Santiago throws open cupboards and pulls out all the stored equipment, searching for the hidden case. Nothing is forthcoming, so he selects the heaviest pan he can find, and then heads to the industrial-size oven, turning the dial so that it starts to heat up to around 425 degrees farenheit. Opening the kitchen door carefully, Santiago looks out, and then shouts down the echoing corridors as loudly as he possibly can.
Santiago: I FOUND IT! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT, I FOUND THE GOLDEN TICKET!!
Santiago hurries back into the kitchen and hides himself behind the door. He only has to wait about 40 seconds until there is the sound of running steps. He swings as the person rushes in, but Wyvern is going so fast that Santiago misses him completely. Realising that he’s lost the element of surprise, Santiago deploys his top-secret weapon, and pulls out a familiar chef’s hat from the waistband of his wrestling gear. He shoves it on just in time as Wyvern turns around. Wyvern looks at Santiago askance, but the chef’s hat works its mysterious magic.
Wyvern: Excuse me, but did you see a man or a woman come through here with a briefcase? A gold one?
Santiago: Uhhh… yeah, yeah, they went that way!
Santiago points in a random direction; as Wyvern’s gaze follows his finger, Santiago swings the pan and clocks Wyvern smartly over the head. The action makes the chef’s hat fall off, and Wyvern is understandably gobsmacked.
Wyvern: It’s you!
Wyvern stumbles toward a cook’s station, knocking utensils flying. Santiago comes after him, but Wyvern’s hair is still damp (he evidently did take that shower, after all) and Santiago slips on a bit of water, smacking into the cold floor. Wyvern grabs hold of a chopping board and belts Santiago with it; in response Santiago grabs a cookie sheet, having dropped his pan in the fall, and whacks Wyvern back. Both men are dazed as the oven a little distance away starts to beep, indicating it’s up to temperature; Santiago grabs two pans, and as Wyvern staggers, he delivers a rough “Con-Pan-to” to his opponent. Wyvern slips to a knee; Santiago smirks, and quickly moves over and opens up the oven door. In a single movement, he lifts Wyvern up, turns, and powerbombs his foe on to the horizontal, hot door; the door breaks off, and thankfully Wyvern is only in contact with it for a second or two as he rolls straight off, yelling in pain. A bright red patch is starting to appear on his exposed skin; Santiago decides to act the good Samaritan, and throws a pan of cold water across Wyvern’s back. This does cool the burn, but Santi thinks that it’s not enough; so he pulls Wyvern up, and bundles him into the cold store before shutting the door and barricading it. Wyvern starts to thump the door furiously, and Santiago rubs his hands; one down, two to go…
A creaking sound at the main door, however, alerts Santiago to the fact that he is not alone; a hand reaches around to the switch, and suddenly the lights go out. There are only one or two small windows in the kitchens, so the light is very dim; Santiago can’t see properly, and ducks for cover as the door swings open…
Kudo enters; he does not speak, but simply silently scans the room and its current state of destruction. He walks forward, and gestures, and AK follows him in; both have evidently heard the racket and come to investigate. AK points to the stainless steel worktop, and Kudo leaps up on to it in a single bound, the sound of his boot hitting the metal echoing across the space. AK stalks the path between the stations, as Kudo covers the high ground; they advance methodically… and then AK smiles, as she catches sight of Santiago crouched and breathing hard as he tries to keep still and silent. Increasing her pace, AK rushes toward him; Santiago’s eyes widen as he catches sight of her, but it’s too late – AK drops into a sliding kick… and crashes into the stainless steel cupboard door, in which Santiago is being reflected. Santiago scrabbles clear and makes a break for the door, but he has reckoned without Kudo, who jumps across from worktop to worktop, and sends the crowd nuts by connecting a huge Roaringiri variant to Santiago in mid air. At about the same time Wyvern bursts out of the cold store, shivering and looking for payback, and it all kicks off as Santiago has to deal with the consequences of his conniving. Kudo and Wyvern put the boot into their foe, and perform a mighty double suplex on Santiago on to the still quite hot oven door; Santiago picks up a heat injury to match Wyvern’s, but as things calm down Wyvern is the first to notice that AK has slipped away, unseen. With time now starting to count against them, the group disperses from the kitchens; they’re seemingly no closer to locating the contract, and the crowd wonders if this match will end in a fruitless draw as the cameras cut back to the arena…

Match 10: ACW International Title - Ladder Match Macho Man RDK vs. Rattlesnake (Credit: Wyvern) The arena audience has been firing on all cylinders tonight, pouring their hearts out for the stars of Alpha Championship Wrestling, who are actively involved in the first leg of the third year of the federation. As a quick video package airs, that highlights the history of the ACW up to this moment, the crowd is treated to a relaxing breath of fresh air, as the night has been riddled with non-stop action up to this moment. As the ring technicians pull a singular ladder out from under the ring, the crowd erupts in approval of the upcoming match, which has been noted as one of the more anticipated matches of the evening. Noting such reactions from the crowd, Phillip doesn’t even need his usual cue to get into the ring and begin announcing, as he begins it without a delay.Phillip: The following contest is a ladder match, and it is for the ACW International Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, hailing from Orlando, Florida, standing at 6’8” and weighing 277 pounds, Rattlesnake! For the second time tonight “Blind” hits the P.A., as the crowd begins to sing their displeasures for Rattlesnake, as his entrance starts up. As he emerges from the entranceway, it’s noticeable that he’s favoring his back slightly, stemming from the wicked bump he took at the hands of Torak earlier tonight. However, proving he’s a competitor worth of recognition, he looks determined to not let it be a hindrance here tonight. He walks down the ramp, and enters the ring, looking at the ladder that sits on the outside, knowing very well that the only way he’ll be able to reach the belt tonight is to climb that very ladder, as he notices the ACW ring crew have yet to have the belt lowered properly, as it currently can be seen gleaming in the rafters. Rattlesnake jaws off to one of the ring crew, and soon enough the belt is a little over fifteen feet above the ring. Rattlesnake then moves over to a nearby turnbuckle, and perches on it, allowing his back to get a few moments rest before the match can get underway.Phillip: And introducing next, his opponent, hailing from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, standing at 6’7” and weighing 270 pounds, he is the ACW International Champion, Macho Man RDK! As “Macho Man” hits the P.A., the crowd becomes alive and electric, as they rise to their feet to cheer on the perennial ACW favorite, as RDK emerges from the entranceway. Being the showman that he is, he plays to the crowd as he makes his way down the ramp. He slaps hands with some of the luckier members of the crowd, as he makes his way closer to the ring. He climbs into the ring, and he looks up to the International Title, as he points up to the title, then back to himself, noting that he fully intends on walking out of here with his title in tow. As both competitors look ready to go, RAF makes sure everything is in order, before he calls for the bell.The bell rings. RDK and Rattlesnake circle each other in the ring, as the two make reoccurring glances over to the ladder at ringside. The two lock up, and we’re underway, as RDK makes the first stride in obtaining an advantage, as he forces Rattlesnake down to one knee, almost with relative ease as Rattlesnake winces in pain. RDK tries to force Rattlesnake down more, but Rattlesnake fights back from the mercy position, and rises to meet RDK at eye level. Rattlesnake nails RDK in the midsection, and whips RDK into the corner. RDK slams the turnbuckle, and without much of a delay Rattlesnake slams RDK even more, as he catches RDK in the upper back with a shoulder block. RDK stumbles backwards from the force, as Rattlesnake clips RDK with a standing lariat. As RDK falls to the mat, Rattlesnake tries to follow up with a elbow drop, but RDK rolls out of the way, as Rattlesnake falls short of connecting by a longshot. RDK gets back up to his feet, as Rattlesnake shortly follows suit. RDK connects with a few rights and lefts, before kicking Rattlesnake in the midsection. He stuns Rattlesnake, and reaches for the Rock Bottom! However, Rattlesnake knows his position as he quickly throws a very fierce elbow to the side of RDK’s head, and lifts RDK up into a spinebuster, slamming RDK down to the mat in vicious manner. McNally: A strong start by the underdog here tonight, as Rattlesnake manages to not only fend off RDK’s Rock Bottom, but also fighting off the pain from that vicious spill to the outside earlier. Edison: Is Rattlesnake really the underdog McNally? I mean, look at the matches he’s had with AK, BK London, Torak, Wyvern, the list goes on. How much longer are people going to doubt the “Vision of Greatness”? McNally: Well put Edison, well put. As RDK lies down on the mat, Rattlesnake looks to the outside for his next move. He walks out of the ring, and moseys on over to the ladder, and picks it up. He slides it back into the ring, as RDK is back up to his feet. RDK wastes no time as Rattlesnake is almost back in the ring, as RDK baseball slides the ladder, which slides out of the ring, nailing Rattlesnake in the torso, knocking him back to the outside! As Rattlesnake slumps on the outside, RDK pulls the ladder in the ring, and sets it up in the middle of the ring. RDK starts to climb the ladder, but the sheer vision of RDK on the ladder snaps Rattlesnake back to reality, as he springs up. RDK opts not to make the mistake of trying to race to the top of the ladder, as he steps off, and throws a haymaker at the oncoming Rattlesnake, which knocks him down to the mat. RDK picks Rattlesnake back up, as he looks to strike Rattlesnake again, but Rattlesnake catches RDK’s fist, and responds with a punch of his own, which causes RDK to stumble back. Rattlesnake whips RDK into the ladder, which folds back upon impact, as RDK falls on top of it. Rattlesnake then falls to one knee, wincing as falling from the ladder shot surely didn’t help with his back. As RDK begins to stir, Rattlesnake rubs the pain out of his back, at least temporarily, as he walks behind RDK and lifts him up, and drops him back on the ladder! McNally: A vicious drop onto that ladder gives Rattlesnake a head of steam! Can he keep it up?

Rattlesnake pulls the ladder away from RDK, as Rattlesnake sets up the ladder on a nearby turnbuckle. He lifts RDK back up, and strikes RDK with a few blows, knocking RDK into the opposite turnbuckle to the ladder. He motions to whip RDK to the opposite corner, but RDK reverses the whip, driving Rattlesnake into the steel ladder, as Rattlesnake takes the blow with his back. RDK rushes at him and rushes at Rattlesnake, but Rattlesnake collapses before RDK can get to the ladder, as RDK trips over Rattlesnake and smacks the steel ladder head on! RDK falls down to the mat, holding his head in pain, as Rattlesnake is down, holding his back. RDK pulls his hands away, noticing his hands are stained with blood, as he comes to realization that he has been busted open! Rattlesnake gets back up to his feet, as he shrugs off the pain again, as he grabs the ladder. He waits for RDK to get back up before rushing at RDK, nailing RDK in the stomach with the ladder. This causes RDK to buckle over, as Rattlesnake charges RDK with the ladder again, and this time he strikes RDK square in the face! RDK reels back, and rests against the ropes for a moment, before falling back down to the mat. Rattlesnake sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring, and looks to the belt up in the air. Rattlesnake starts his ascent to the belt, but he appears to be quite hampered by the pain in his lower back. He gets about halfway, as RDK struggles back up to his feet. He pulls himself up quickly with the help of the nearby ropes, and he climbs up the ladder on the otherside. He gets up to where Rattlesnake is, as Rattlesnake tries for a few swipes towards the belt, and he manages to brush the leather strap with his fingers, before RDK strikes Rattlesnake with a punch. Rattlesnake teeters on his perch, nearing falling off, but managing to hold on. Rattlesnake strikes RDK with a retaliatory strike. RDK nearly falls off as well, but he manages to hold his ground, as the two begin to trade blows left and right. The ladder starts to shake from the commotion, and before the two can really get a grip on the situation that they’re in, the ladder collapses, as the two try to stay in the ring. RDK misses the ring, as he falls directly to the outside, while Rattlesnake crashes down to the mat!
McNally: This isn’t looking good for either man! The ten foot drop both competitors took is sure to leave a lingering pain!
RDK looks to be out cold on the outside of the ring, as Rattlesnake is down on the mat, clutching his back in pain. The ladder is still in the ring, leaning against the ropes. The two look to not be getting up anytime soon, as RAF starts to check on the two, just to make sure this match can continue. RAF checks on Rattlesnake, who is very adamant in his response that he can continue the match, and RDK starts to get back up to his feet very shortly after RAF heads down to check on him. Rattlesnake uses the ropes to climb back up to his feet, as RDK stumbles into the ring. Rattlesnake throws down the ladder, and looks at RDK, indicating that there’s more work to do before the ladder can be utilized to its fullest extent. Rattlesnake charges RDK, who snaps into an armdrag, sending Rattlesnake back to the mat. Rattlesnake gets back up, as RDK runs up to Rattlesnake and looks to execute a Russian leg sweep, which Rattlesnake blocks the attempt, and counters by spinning around RDK, and executes the Poisonous Venom! RDK slumps down to the mat, but Rattlesnake isn’t done, as he wraps around RDK and locks in the Wrath of the Snake!
Edison: Well, that may be the end of it, as RDK looks ready to tap!
*silence*
McNally: You, my friend, are an IDIOT! This is a ladder match!
As Rattlesnake locks in the Wrath of the Snake even more, RDK looks to be falling limper and limper as the milliseconds melt into seconds. However, Rattlesnake knows well enough that this is not a standard match by any means, as he eventually lets go, as RDK is left trying to get some air back into his system. Rattlesnake looks over to the ladder, and starts to head over to it, but RDK catches Rattlesnake by his heel, as he trips Rattlesnake down to the mat. RDK pulls Rattlesnake away from the ladder, but Rattlesnake spins around and nails RDK in the midsection, and gets back up to a standing position. He locks RDK in a front face headlock, but RDK lifts Rattlesnake up and slams him down in a spinebuster of his own! He then looks to the top rope, and signals to the crowd for the Macho Moonsault!
McNally: Is he serious?
Edison: Afraid so, you see, if he hits this, he AUTOMATICALLY wins, no matter what!
McNally: What are you talking about?
Edison: McNally, let me break it down for you. There’s certain maneuvers, when executed by certain wrestlers of said certain caliber of establishment, that they will win if the move connects. It’s science, really.
McNally: What flawed logic…
As RDK starts to climb the ropes, the crowd starts to cheer more and more wildly, as RDK looks to connect with one of his rarest maneuvers. However, the high decibel level of the crowd doesn’t alert RDK to the arrival of Rattlesnake, who has snuck up on RDK, and gets beneath RDK, and powerbombs RDK back down to the mat…NO! RDK reverses the powerbomb into a modified swinging headscissors, which throws Rattlesnake down to the mat! RDK kips up after executing the maneuver, and instead of making another attempt at going for the Macho Moonsault, looks to the ladder. He moves over to the ladder, and gets the ladder completely set-up in the middle of the ring. However, as he does this, Rattlesnake tries to decapitate RDK via a lariat, but RDK blocks the attempt, and reverses it into a Rock Bottom!
McNally: Rock Bottom! Rock Bottom! And Rattlesnake is out folks…
Edison: Hate to agree with you, but he’s as glazed over as Krispy Kreme donuts.
As RDK gets back up to his feet, he looks straight up. A simple climb is all that’s required for the champ to retain his title. He begins to ascend, as the crowd already pops in response to his imminent victory. He climbs to the top of the ladder, and as he reaches the top, he looks at the title, then back down at Rattlesnake. For a moment, he’s tempted to execute a maneuver from the top of the ladder, but the intelligent aspect of his own being quickly supercedes the Jeff Hardy psyche in him. He reaches to undo the strap, but as he does so, the ladder begins to shake! At the base of the ladder is Rattlesnake, lying on the ground, desperately trying to hold onto hopes of possibly winning this match, shakes with the intensity of a man with nothing to lose. The ladder becomes unstable, and RDK tries to stop it from swaying, but the attempt proves futile, as RDK falls off of the ladder! He crashes to the mat, and once again we’ve got both men down, but not for long, as Rattlesnake is back up to his feet, looking very weakened, but nevertheless still defying the critics here tonight as he fights off not only one of RDK’s finishers, but also his very sore back. He moves the ladder away from the middle of the ring, as to make room for something. He picks up RDK, and calls for the Snakebite! He lifts RDK up, but RDK shifts out of it, and spins Rattlesnake around, and nails the Macho Slam!
McNally: The Macho Slam! Good night Irene, this match is OVER!
RDK moves over to ladder and begins to climb up the ladder. The crowd as well as the general audience viewing at home is confused as RDK doesn’t move the ladder to the middle of the ring.
McNally: What’s going on?
Edison: It looks like RDK wants to put away Rattlesnake without a shadow of a doubt. However, what could do that?
McNally: I thought the Macho Slam would be enough. What’s he going to do? OH GOD! MACHO MOONSAULT!!!
RDK leaps off of the ladder, and in what seems to be an eternity in the air, twists into the famous moonsault press. He crashes on top of Rattlesnake, as the crowd goes absolutely crazy as RDK nails the biggest move in his repertoire!
McNally: DANGEROUSSSSSSS!!! What a picture-perfect Macho Moonsault! This match is without a shadow of a doubt over now

As RDK begins to stir, fans are already cheering wildly in celebration of his victory, as he moves the ladder to the middle of the ring. He begins to climb the ladder, visibly sore from the landing of the moonsault but nevertheless very confident in his efforts here tonight. However, the crowd almost goes silent, as RDK pauses in shock!
McNally: OH…MY…GOD!!!
RDK can’t believe it, as Rattlesnake has made his way back up to his feet, even though he looks extremely shaky, with very little energy left in him. He grasps the ladder, and shakes the ladder once again, not letting up with his attempt. RDK continues to climb, trying to race Rattlesnake, as Rattlesnake doesn’t have much energy to shake the ladder. However, Rattlesnake reaches deep down, and begins to violently shake the ladder, which causes RDK to struggle with the balancing act he’s performing. Eventually, the ladder tips, as RDK falls…no!!! RDK catches one arm on the title…NO! He can’t hold on, as he crashes down to the mat violently, on the upper back region of his body, as he goes out like a light when the energy bill isn’t paid! Rattlesnake pulls the ladder back up, as he very slowly climbs the ladder, nearly falling off quite a few times, as he finally reaches the top! He steps up on the top rung, and reaches for the title, and slips! He rears back, and just barely catches himself, as he lunges for the title! The ladder falls down, as Rattlesnake catches onto the title, as he dangles in mid-air! However, as a nearly unconscious RDK lies in the ring, Rattlesnake uses the very last ounce of strength in his body, as he strips the belt’s button strap, and crashes down to the canvas, with the belt in hand! RAF calls for the bell!
Phillip: And here is your winner, and the NEW ACW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION, RATTLESNAKE!
As the crowd goes into the greatest state of shock they’ve probably been in, in regards to Rattlesnake’s career, one can hardly fathom what has just happened here. RDK begins to stir in the ring, while Rattlesnake lies completely motionless in the middle of the ring, although he can now rest, as the match is over. RDK gets back up to his feet slowly, and looks on in disbelief at Rattlesnake. He did everything he could to put Rattlesnake away, but somehow Rattlesnake came back from everything, defying the odds yet again. As RDK walks to the back in utter disbelief, the crowd cheers loudly for RDK’s efforts, noting that he provided a very valiant effort to be proud of, as they also cheer Rattlesnake’s outstanding performance here tonight. As the officials tend to the unconscious Rattlesnake, one thing is certain, if it wasn’t obvious before, Rattlesnake is definitely one of the ACW’s elite. The officials manage to sit him up, before he is escorted to the back, with his newly won title draped on his shoulders, and a mile wide grin on his face, as the camera cuts away.

Segment: Retro Segment #54 (Credit: Yoko / Sarin)
December 10th, 2005 Okinawa, Japan The Dirty Mongoose
The car parks in front of the bar. Yoko, Sarin, and Two Hands step out and look at it.
Yoko: And what makes you sure they’ll be here?
Two Hands: This is where we always go before a job.
Sarin: Ok, so we go in and you make them surrender.
Two Hands: How, exactly?
Yoko: You…talk to them.
Two Hands: That won’t magically make them give up. Especially not with you two marching in there in your costume, alongside me in prison clothes.
Yoko: We actually thought of the possibility of casual wear before we got you! There are clothes you can change into in the floor of the backseat.
Two Hands: I don’t want you to look.
Yoko: We won’t look.
Two Hands: But how do I know th-
Sarin leans in and kisses Yoko. The brief kiss is reciprocated and looks to be on the track of becoming very steamy, when Sarin breaks it.
Sarin: We won’t look.
Two Hands: …Oh. Alright.
He goes back into the backseat as Sarin and Yoko turn around. They remove their disguise pieces; the shades, ears, and Kato mask while they wait.
Two Hands reemerges looking completely normal. He has a shocked look on his face as he sees Yoko and Sarin as…well, themselves, and not as Gatogal and Frost.
Two Hands: You’re both a lot prettier without disguises.
Sarin & Yoko: We know.
Two Hands: Let’s go in here, then.
They enter the Dirty Mongoose. They look around, and Two Hands points out a scruffy looking man and a tall man next to him, with what looks like a bowman’s hat on the bar in front of him. He walks over there with Yoko and Sarin close behind.
Two Hands: Hey boys.
The two almost choke as they spin.
Fox: Boss!
Two Hands: That’s right.
Quiver Man: How’d you get out of jail?!
Two Hands: I’ll tell you over some drinks.
Fox: I’m not sure, we-
Quiver Man: We have plenty of time.
Two Hands sits down with them and orders some shots of strong liquor for the three of them. He tosses his back, and they quickly follow suit. Yoko and Sarin just watch.
Two Hands: Bar keep, more drinks. Post haste.
Fox: So how’d you get out?
Two Hands: Tell me how YOU got out. Our seemingly good friend never bailed ME out.
Quiver Man: It’s this new gig we got. Group called The Legion broke in and set us free, now we rake in the money. Those girly girls haven’t even tried to stop us. You know, Katogal and Freeze.
Two Hands: Right, right…Well same thing happened to me kind of!
He takes another drink; they mimic him.
Two Hands: See these two girls with me? They broke ME out! They’re my new two hands. We’re planning some major operations, right girls?
Sarin: Err…Right.
The minutes that pass slowly turn into hours…the drinks turn into dozens of drinks. The conversations become less coherent.
Quiver Man: I told you…I told you! Don’t to not go in there, this is us one.
Fox: You’re not fit to drive.
Quiver Man: Oh shit we’re drunk. We can’t rob a bank, I can’t shoot a…arrooowww.
Two Hands: Listen we need to talk. I miss you guys. I’m afraid you’re going to go get hurt and when you get hurt I’m going to feel hurt and then we’re all going to be hurt.
Fox: What?
Two Hands: Be my two hands again, then I’ll have four hands. Or five hands. Whichever comes first.
Quiver Man: I love you man. Friends for life.
Fox: I’ll second him.
Two Hands: Come on, my other two hands will drive us home. We’ll plan stuff tomorrow yesterday.
Yoko and Sarin help him up from the bar, tossing a wad of money at the bartender. They help walk Two Hands back to the car and into the backseat. Fox and Quiver Man pile in, laughing at the apparent difficulty they’re having getting into the door.
Yoko and Sarin sit up front, and begin to drive as the three quite clearly pass out.
Sarin: Back to the police station with an hour to spare. I think we did good tonight.
Yoko: He did good. He got them drunk, got them to surrender, and got them to rejoin him. They’re probably going to be angry in the morning.
Sarin: But they’re also going to be safe, and that’s more important.
Yoko: We’ll let Yuki analyze the plan further, without these two, before we make a move.
Sarin: Right.
Quite suddenly, a car passes by them, heading toward the Dirty Mongoose. The Legion’s car. Clearly to pick up Fox and Quiver Man.
Sarin: These two aren’t going to be the only angry ones, I think.
Yoko and Sarin give each other a quick high five.
To Be Continued…

Golden Ticket Treasure Hunt – Part 5
Back at the ongoing treasure hunt, AK is taking advantage of having lost the other competitors; she’s running out of places to search, and so has moved into the more obscure part of the backstage where props and other kit is stored. Nothing seems to be out of place, but as she looks around, her gaze travels upward to a high ledge where rarely-used boxes are placed. On closer inspection, she sees that there are marks in the dust where someone has placed a ladder recently…
A quick search of the immediate area locates a metal ladder, and as AK puts it in place, it fits the marks perfectly. She starts to climb, with growing anticipation… but with the evening now waning away, the competitors are more concerned with tracking one another, and Santiago appears on the scene. Running over, he grabs her leg before she’s fully ascended; AK tries to kick him back off with the other foot, but Santiago grabs that too, and pulls her a little way down the ladder before yanking his opponent left. AK can’t hold on, and falls to the floor; the ladder wobbles, but stays upright as Santiago whacks AK in the stomach with a spin kick. AK groans in pain, and struggles back to her feet, but this only assists Santiago in delivering the 10 gallon boot. Dazed, AK slumps against a packing case; Santiago looks around him for something else to use, and comes up with two tables that are leaning against the wall. Setting them up, he places AK on top, and climbs the ladder that she placed; he reaches the ledge, and examines it carefully, but there is nothing there. From his vantage point, however, he sees something across on the storage racks opposite; the unmistakable gleam of gold…
As Santiago is pondering if he can make the leap, there is a loud crash and then Kudo comes rushing in, being pursued by Wyvern, who has managed to find a much longer ladder than the one Santiago used. Wyvern swings the ladder at Kudo, trapping him against a set of shelves; Kudo pushes back, and then flips himself over the ladder to knee Wyvern in the chest. Wyvern staggers back and drops the ladder, oblivious to AK and the tables which are just out of sight around the corner; Kudo attacks again, and in desperation Wyvern counters into a huge flipping fameasser on to the ladder. Kudo is temporarily stunned, and Wyvern opts to clear out of the room before his foe recovers…
Once Wyvern is gone, Santiago slips down the ladder, and retrieves the longer one. He sets this up against the second set of racks, and climbs all the way to the top, expectantly… but all he finds is an old, gold-colored apron cover. Frustrated, Santiago needs something to take his frustrations out on… and with AK still apparently KOed on the tables, Santiago can’t resist the temptation. He looks down from the edge to the tables, about 25 feet below… and then stuns the crowd by leaping off into the 1000th trip to Hell (double rotating moonsault). It’s a beautiful move… but unfortunately for Santiago, AK rolls off of the tables a fraction of a second before he connects, and Santiago ends up crashing through the tables and lying motionless in the wreckage. The crowd chants “Holy shit!” as AK pulls herself to her feet; she’s still groggy, and a SLAM! sound alerts her to the exit of Kudo, who uses some rope he’s found to bind the door shut. AK pounds the door furiously, knowing she has to get out before either of her opponents can find that contract…
The fans are certain that a breakthrough can’t be far away… and they know they’ll see that breakthrough when it happens, as the cameras cut back to another part of the arena.

Match 11: Senatorial Stipulations II Hunter vs. Senator (Credit: Hunter/Senator) Back to the arena, with the cameras pointed at our resident announce team.Maxwell McNally: And here we have it, the Senator’s second final match here in ACW. The story leading into the match was a long, convoluted one, but what matters here is that you are about to see what should be a very solid match between two of the best. A man who has held an avid amount of ACW gold will face one of the best in ring technicians the company has seen in a match that should be one for the ages. “Fast” Eddie Edison: You know, what matters is that I told you that he couldn’t retire, I told you, Max! The Senator's just like Terry Funk, he'll never give it up! He could be President of the United States, and he'd still want to work a match here every month! Maxwell McNally: Well, it’s not his fault that he's here tonight, to tell the truth… “Fast” Eddie Edison: Sure, it’s not, sure… Maxwell McNally: Hunter and the Chairman forced him into it! Now, without further ado, I do think that we have a match to announce, as Philip is about to speak. Philip: The following contest will be held under Senatorial Stipulations! To win the match, the winning wrestler must defeat his opponent by two straight, dissimilar falls. The types of falls allowed include pinfall, submission, count out, and knockout. Any disqualification will lead to an immediate end to the match, and there will be further ramifications for the guilty party. As “Hybrid Stigmata” plays, and the lights dim halfway, Hunter makes his entrance. You know the deal with that.
Soon, “Eye of the Tiger” also plays…“Fast” Eddie Edison: “Eye of the Tiger,” you know the Senator’s going all out when you hear that theme! While the Senator likes his entrance, we’ll be fair to Hunter and abbreviate his too, as you know all what happens, music, tickertape, victory pose, thumbs up to the crowd, ring.Philip: In the left corner, hailing out of Rochester, NY, weighing in at two hundred and forty five pounds, Hunter! Black and white streamers are tossed from the bottom rows into the ring, as Hunter smirks at the unexpected touch.Philip: In the right corner, hailing out of Washington D.C, weighing in at one hundred and ninety five pounds, Senator Steve Phillips! Red, white, and blue streamers fly into the ring as Phillips assumes a victory pose. Hunter, in turn, bats away some of the excessive streamers, and the ring crew scrambles to clean up the ring.Maxwell McNally: The two competitors look very relaxed at this point, even though Hunter just wrestled earlier tonight, and Phillips has not stepped foot in an ACW ring for a month. “Fast” Eddie Edison: Well, waddya expect? They're two of the best around, like you always say, Max! Soon, Phillips grasps a microphone to speak.The Senator: Well, well, well, I suppose that you got what you wished for, Hunter. You got your match, and I am indeed here and ready to fight. Now then, before we start, I just wanted to make clear a few changes in the stipulations that I had made for tonight. I did not completely ban weapons and dirty tactics like last time. Perhaps I just have grown soft in my old age, or my Japan tour showed me something, but I figure with an opponent like you in a match like this that we could have a fine contest no matter what. Hunter: Shoot, why not make putting someone through the announcers table a fall while you're at it? Senator (chuckling): Hunter, my friend, you know what? I just think I might do that. Really, it only makes sense, and if you do not object…Philip! Both the ring announcer, and referee Jacob Jones head over to hear Phillips.Senator: You may make it official that putting the opponent though the announcer’s table is indeed a registered fall! Seeing somewhat confused looks from both men, the Senator continues.Senator: It is, of course, a tradition for my opponent that I would just as soon make an official part of the match, as I am in a charitable mood at this point. Is that clear? Both men nod “yes,” and a pleased Senator shakes hands once again with his opponent while the last of the streamers are cleaned out of the ring.“Fast” Eddie Edison: Oh no, that's not right, we're most likely not going to have an intact table after the match! Whatever will we do? Maxwell McNally: Control yourself, we'll do what we always do, and just pull our chairs back until the people in the back can replace our table, they have plenty of money, and a large supply, you know. Before the bell rings, Phillips and Hunter both nod to each other, assuming a fighting stance...and the Senator immediately rushes forwards, throwing a leaping elbow smash into the side of Hunter's head, starting the match. A bizarrely vicious Senator continues the attack with more elbows, forcing Hunter into the corner, where he fires away with his trademark knife-edge chops. Hunter, though, catches the Senator, tossing his opponent into the corner, bashing Senator’s head into the turnbuckle, and throwing alternating body punches. Phillips catches a handful of hair, once again reversing positions, and again unleashes his chops, this time, mixing them up with Genichiro Tenryu style "Guh" punches/step jabs to the head. Hunter stumbles out of the corner, but does not avoid the Senator, who keeps up the attack with a back brain lariat. Phillips attempts to follow up with a kick to the ribs, but Hunter catches the leg, tripping up his foe onto all fours. Hunter quickly gets to his feet, and connects solidly with a low angle variation of his Déjà Vu running knee to the head. The former ACW Champion knows better than to allow his opponent to rest, kicking him in the ribs, and climbing to the second turnbuckle, jumping off with a diving guillotine leg drop. Maxwell McNally: Very harsh fighting so far, you rarely see matches start like this, especially between friendly competitors. Hunter goes to lift Phillips off the mat, but instead is taken off guard, and is tossed out of the ring below the middle rope, hitting the floor with a thud. The Senator rolls out of the ring, going for a middle kick, but Hunter catches it, lifting Phillips up into a scoop slam position, and tosses him off right into a deadly front kick to the face, sending his opponent crashing into the guardrail in a very awkward manner. Maxwell McNally: He calls that the Land Mine Dolphin... “Fast” Eddie Edison: I always wondered, what kind of a name is that, anyway? Why does Hunter call it the Land Mine Dolphin, I demand answers! Maxwell McNally: They're headed over here, why not ask him now? Sure enough, Hunter leads the Senator over to the announcers’ area, throwing his opponent head first into the table. Hunter approaches his opponent, but Phillips spins around, catching his opponent behind the ear with a looping hook kick. “Fast” Eddie Edison: I don't like this! They're getting too close for comfort! The Senator tries at first to roll Hunter onto the table, but his opponent catches him with a knee to the gut, and both men end up ascending onto the table at the same time. Maxwell McNally: Frankly, I can't believe that the table can support the weight of both competitors. Hunter clubs away at the Senator, stunning him momentarily, pulling him in for a powerbomb, or piledriver...but Phillips lifts both of Hunter's legs up with a double leg, pulling him behind his back and cradling his neck for a Polarizer/Schwein... Hunter: Oh, great…IRONY! The Senator leaps up, spinning in mid air, and falls back, placing Hunter straight through the table in a cloud of dust and splinters with his Polarizer! “Fast” Eddie Edison: NOOOOOOOOO! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS! Philip: Senator Steve Phillips has gained one point by placing Hunter through the announcer’s table! Both men are slow to get up, and after Phillip gives them a reasonable grace period after the fall, they begin to make their respective ways to the ring. ...4 ...5 ...6 The Senator pulls himself free of numerous table fragments, as Hunter seems to be saving his energy... ...10 ...11 ...12 Phillips has a clear lead, but just before he can make it up onto the ring apron, Hunter bursts forward, leaping up, and over the Senator’s back, driving him head first into the ground with a vertical impact DDT before making into the ring! ...14 ...15 ...16 Maxwell McNally: If Senator Phillips does not make it up to the apron in time, he'll lose his one fall advantage. And that's especially bad, since nobody can gain a fall through the announcer’s table now! ...18 ...19 ...The Senator shakes his head, and pulls himself up from the blindside attack, reaching for the apron... ...20! Philip: Hunter has gained a fall by count-out, thus nullifying the Senator's fall, and gaining one point by pinfall for himself! The referee, Jacob Jones waits for Phillips to get back into the ring, checks on his condition, and seeing that he’s still in fighting shape, starts the action again. Hunter nods quickly to his opponent, before going in for a tie-up.

*It must be stated at this point that the following section of the match involves one of the longest fluid counter sequences in ACW history, and will likely be the subject of study for years to come in Tim Dwight’s gym. To keep the pace quick, and not waste too much space, the announcers will be muted for the duration of the sequence.*
As Hunter reaches out, Phillips lashes out himself with a middle kick. Hunter, though, is able to catch the strike under his arm, going for a dragon screw. However, before Hunter can follow through, the Senator catches his opponent’s wrist, wrenching it, forcing him to drop the leg. Hunter in turn, rolls forward, back, and kips up, reversing pressure on the hold into a hammerlock variation, pulling downward, forcing Phillips to the mat. The Senator is well known for his skills in that position, and demonstrates them, slowly breaking the lock on the wrist, rolling over, wrenching Hunter back into a jujigatame cross arm breaker. Before he can reach full extension, the Senator is thwarted by Hunter, who kicks a leg up over his head, and reverses the pressure, now placing his opponent into the same submission hold. Phillips, then, counters by rolling in, cradling Hunter for a pin…
…1
…Hunter releases his hold on the arm, escaping the pin, and tripping up his opponent with a drop toehold, standing up, grabbing his opponent’s legs, and bridges forwards into a Land Lock. The Senator languishes in the submission for a few moments, before managing to get a hold of a heel, rolling Hunter back over onto his stomach, and standing up himself into a Tax Cut vertical half crab hold. Before Phillips can sit back, Hunter is able to pull him down, stepping over into a toehold, and going for a full nelson hold to complete the Shock Lock. All Masterlock jokes aside, the Senator is able to counter by spinning quickly to the outside on the mat, crossing Hunter’s legs for a figure four, going for a Victory Lock II…but Hunter is able to pull him in for an inside cradle…
…1
…2
…Phillips kicks out, but is not able to rest for long, as Hunter drives him back into the mat with an inverted Russian leg sweep as he gets up, immediately cranking back on the neck with a Bear Trap camel clutch. Hunter’s application is rushed, though, and Phillips is able to pry an arm off his face, into a kneeling judo throw, sending Hunter rolling back to his feet, and charging back in. The Senator backs up for a split second, causing Hunter to dive forwards. Phillips takes sure advantage, trying for a move, but Hunter is able to shoot up, catching his opponent in a fireman carry, going for a Samoan drop, even so, Phillips is able to roll back, hooking both shoulders into a crucifix pin...
...1
...Hunter kicks out easily, getting up back to his feet, dashing to the near ropes, going off the ropes, and connecting with a springboard cross body for the pin...
...1
...2
The Senator is able to slip out, kicking up, and rolls the pin over at the last moment...
...1
...Hunter beats the two count, catches a rising Senator with a drop toehold, rolls over the back of his opponent into a ground side headlock, and is countered into a head scissors. Phillips appears to have the advantage with the move, but Hunter manages to turn over into a vertical position, slowly executing a handstand out of the head scissors, and both men start to circle, tentatively trying to seek a mistake by their opponent. Hunter, at this point sees an opening, and goes for a hip toss. The Senator, though, counters, stepping over, going for his own, which Hunter counters in like manner, Senator repeating, and getting the toss off, with Hunter landing on his feet. Hunter turns around, transitioning into a vertical suplex lift, but this time, Phillips manages to slip behind into a rear waistlock. Hunter counters with a back elbow to the head, now going for a German of his own, squatting down, getting the throw off, but Senator lands on his feet, into another rear waistlock. Hunter pries an arm off, again going around, with Senator turning behind him before he can lock in his own waistlock, and going for a sleeper hold.
Phillips, though, can not hold on long, as Hunter sits out of the submission, rolling back on the mat, standing up, right into a side headlock takedown. The Senator, out of this, counters with the customary headscissors, which Hunter kips up out of, Senator rushing into another side headlock, and attempting to backdrop suplex Hunter out of the move, but the Senatorial protégé is able to flip back out before the impact, back into his side headlock. Phillips, this time, leans back into the ropes, deep back into the ropes, before shoving forwards, sending Hunter into the opposite ropes, ducking down flat as Hunter returns, and leapfrogging his opponent on the second rebound. Hunter flies off the opposite ropes again with even more momentum, is caught by a back body drop by Phillips, but moves forward enough in mid air to land on his feet, running off the near ropes, launching this time into a sunset flip, but the momentum carries him far enough over to end up in a Senator cradle…
…1
…Hunter sits back, pulling Senator over into an identical pin with his leg strength…
…1
…Senator rolls the pin back over…
…1
…Hunter claps the Senator’s ears with his feet, as the two get back to their feet. Immediately, the Senator seemingly takes his opponent by surprise with a leaping hurracanrana, but perhaps Hunter was able to see it coming, as he counters into a folding powerbomb…
…1
…2
…Phillips not only escapes the pin, but rolls back onto his feet, tripping Hunter with a double leg takedown, flipping forwards into a jackknife bridge cradle…
…1
…Hunter kicks out with a back bridge, spinning around into a backslide…
…1
…An angry Senator kicks out by rolling back out of the move, catching Hunter before he can stand back up and turns him over into his own signature backslide pin…
…1
…2
…Hunter escapes the pinning predicament, going for a hammer throw, which, amazingly enough, Phillips actually cartwheels out of, managing to stop his forward momentum. The Senator quickly shoots out, wrenching Hunter's arm quickly down with a sharp arm drag, sending Hunter rolling back to his feet, and shooting in with a double leg, going for a high angle spinebuster. The Senator blocks the attempt, fluidly lifting his opponent directly into position over a shoulder for his Presidential Powerbomb, this time, though Hunter slides off the Senator’s shoulder, running off the ropes, and into a springboard cross body that looks to have missed, until Phillips goes flying from a low angle flying arm drag.
Steve Phillips rolls into the corner as Hunter charges in and lifts him up to the top rope going for a superplex. The Senator appears to be caught, however, at the same time, Hunter is not able to move anywhere, due to being caught in a front facelock. Phillips dives off the ropes into a tornado guillotine version, keeping the hold locked in even on the impact. Andrew Hunter, at this time, knows he can not easily get out of the submission, and throws a knee to his opponent’s midsection, getting enough space to escape the leg scissors, and slowly stand up, into a Northern Lights Suplex bridge for the pin…
…1
…Hunter, though, does not plan on getting a fall this way, and bridges back over, lifting the Senator back up for a second suplex…but at the height of the lift, Phillips is able to cut back with a high angle inside cradle for the pin…
…1
…2
…3!
Philip: Senator Steve Phillips has gained one point by pinfall!

Hunter stumbles back following the pin and collapses into one of the corners. The Senator himself is very tired, and so he too moves back to the corner. The two men take a breath of air and look the other over. They know each other probably better than anyone else possibly could, and they both expected a tough fight. But they never for the life of them expected something this tough. Hunter replays the last few moments of the match in his head and realizes that he is down one fall. The Senator realizes this too…but he will not let that get him too confident. Simultaneously, the two rise and slightly stretch out their hands and necks.
Maxwell McNally: Well it looks like they’re ready for a second round!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Second round? You mean that was just the first?
Maxwell McNally: Well look at them, Edison! They only began to break a sweat a moment ago.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Well I’ll be darned, you’re right. Let’s see what else they can bust out…
Hunter strikes first, fully under the notion that he is the one with the most to lose. He swings his arm as if for a clothesline, and the original master of counters already has five different ways to grab that arm and turn it into a submission. But Hunter is just as clever, so before his arm can get within grabbing distance by the Senator, he rolls down and grabs the Senator’s leg, forcing the latter to fall down hard on his back as Hunter locks in a front leg lock.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: What a move by Hunter! He knew that the Senator could see that move coming, so he just changed it midway through!
Hunter also knows that there is no way in hell that the Senator will tap to this move. He snaps over to the right so as to jolt some pain into the Senator’s ankle, and then kips up quickly. While the Senator tries to rise with his weakened leg, Hunter springs onto his back and goes for the infamous Bear Trap. But the Senator, just as always, has another trick up his sleeve. He grabs Hunter’s head and pulls him down and over himself, causing Hunter to land hard on the mat. Following this, the Senator locks in a surfboard stretch.
Maxwell McNally: If there was any doubt in your mind that the Senator was a bit rusty in the ring, this is one of those times when you know it’s just not true!
Hunter bridges himself up and lands both of his legs on the bottom rope, and then quickly climbs all three of the ropes until he gets to the top one. And when he’s on the top one, he leaps over the Senator, forcing the Senator to break the hold, as otherwise he would not have arms at this point. Hunter then grabs him from behind with a gutwrench and lifts him up high…but the Senator pulls himself down and grabs onto Hunter’s legs, setting him up perfectly into a rolling clutch pin. The Senator knows this will not secure him a victory, as he needs a different kind of fall, but he still thinks it saved him from a possibly bad situation anyhow. Hunter kips up again, then charges at the Senator, leaps into the air, and nails him square in the side of the head with a Déjà Vu knee strike!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Oooooh, that one’s going to sting in the morning!
Hunter tries for the cover, but somewhere deep inside he knows that this won’t give him the pinfall. And lo and behold, it does not. The Senator kicks out, and so Hunter grabs his arm and flips onto the Senator, locking him into a strange version of the armbar.
Maxwell McNally: Well if there are two people in this world that know how to improvise in the ring, it’s the Senator and Hunter. And Hunter most definitely just proved that.
The Senator is able to bridge up, grab Hunter’s free arm, and turn it into an armbar of his own. Hunter rises to his feet with the move still locked in, and then spins into it and nails the Senator with a forearm to the head. The Senator stumbles back, and then Hunter charges in with a series of punches and kicks, most of which the Senator deflects. The Senator then gets his opportunity to strike, and so he follows through with the Crossfire Crescent Kicks!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Well simple strikes are definitely not lost on these two. Is it an act of desperation?
Maxwell McNally: No, neither of them are desperate to win. They’re just determined…
Hunter grabs the Senator’s leg to block the kicks, and this just so happens to be the same one that Hunter weakened earlier. Hunter leaps into the air and grabs the leg with both of his, and then slams the leg down in the Fameasser position. The Senator shuts his eyes tight so as to fight through the pain, but even that may not be enough.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: And how about that? Was that determination or desperation?
Maxwell McNally: That was genius. I never even would have thought of a move like that. I should start giving Hunter more credit.
Hunter grabs the Senator’s leg, but the Senator is able to get him into a small package, despite knowing that it will not give him a second fall. The Senator throws Hunter off of him, and then rises and grabs Hunter from behind in the full nelson hold. Hunter knows that the Liberalizer will be coming next, and so he quickly sits down so as to temporarily stun the Senator. The Senator falls down on his back, and Hunter charges over to the turnbuckle. He mounts it and stands tall with his arms raised.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Well it looks like Hunter is planning on using the Equinox! Let’s watch him fly!
The Senator will not allow this, however, and so he springs up and charges at Hunter in the corner. The Senator gets on the first turnbuckle and grapples up with Hunter, attempting to throw him off the turnbuckle. But Hunter does not budge…instead, he smiles.
Maxwell McNally: Something tells me that Hunter didn’t get those plane tickets…
“Fast” Eddie Edison: What do you mean?
Maxwell McNally: Something big is happening…and it’s not the Equinox.
As if mind-reading announcers didn’t give the fans the clue, they look on in delight and enthusiasm, curious to see what Hunter has in mind. Hunter reaches down and locks his arms under the Senator’s neck, and then flips over him and lands hard with his feet on the mat below, putting him into an Outsider’s Edge style position.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: …wait, what is Hunter think---
No one really knows if he is thinking. Instead, Hunter simply pulls the Senator down, and the Senator’s head bounces off the mat after he lands in the DDT position.
Maxwell McNally: SWEET MOTHER OF MERCY!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGEROOOOOUS!!!
Maxwell McNally: I’m not even sure I know where Hunter got that from! It looked like…a Cliffhanger, but I’m not too sure on that.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Well that would explain why the Senator couldn’t block or reverse it. He didn’t even know what it was!
Both men lay stunned in the center of the ring, but Hunter is still able to use all of his will power to pull himself onto the Senator and cover him. The fans cheer as the referee counts the pin, and Hunter rolls off once it is complete.
Philip: Hunter has scored a pinfall, meaning that the Senator must now go back to square one. Hunter, on the other hand, can win the match by count-out, submission, or knockout.
Maxwell McNally: This may very well be the biggest turning point in the match.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: At this rate, all Hunter has to do is throw the Senator out of the ring. I don’t believe that anyone can even begin to walk after that move!

But oh how wrong Edison is. No one under any circumstances should underestimate the Senator, as it is one of the most foolish things to do in a match. Hunter, thankfully, is no fool. He rises quickly and charges at the Senator, who has already somehow been able to rise to one knee. Hunter throws his Déjà Vu knee at the Senator, almost in a Shining Wizard style, but the Senator quickly ducks and stands up, putting Hunter gut first on his shoulder. Hunter tries to roll out of the move, but the Senator holds on tight and flips Hunter over onto his back.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Well I’ll be…the Senator’s still going strong!
Hunter gets to his feet quickly, but not quick enough, as the Senator is able to launch into him with a powerful Shining Capitol kick! Hunter stumbles back, but even before he can hit the ground, the Senator grabs his leg and spins him around for the Tax Cut!
Maxwell McNally: A great series of moves by the Senator, he is most definitely getting the all-important momentum right now!
Hunter is able to crawl forward and grab the ropes, and the referee orders the breaking of the move. The Senator steps back and plays out a few possible moves in his head…but there is only one that he feels will be able to get him the pinfall he needs to gain the lead. He spins Hunter around and sets him up for the Filibuster. Just as he lifts him up into the air, Hunter pulls down and grabs the Senator’s arm along the way, countering the move into an arm drag!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: The “new” Master of the Counter strikes again!
The Senator rises quickly and charges in with his foot before him. Hunter grabs the foot, but the Senator leaps up and flips over Hunter. On his way down, he grabs Hunter’s head and slams him down with a neckbreaker. He goes for the quick cover, but Hunter is able to kick out.
Maxwell McNally: Flips?
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Looks like the Senator is taking a page out of Hunter’s book!
The Senator lifts Hunter up, but Hunter is too persistent to simply give up and let the Senator hit him with any sort of move. And so to try to get the momentum in his favor, Hunter kicks the Senator in the gut, grabs his head, and leaps into the air, delivering a picture perfect Thunderstorm DDT! Hunter does not cover, and instead he leaps into the air and spins around, hitting the Senator with his spinning senton. It is now that Hunter covers…
Maxwell McNally: Could that possibly be the end of the match?
…oh of course not. The Senator kicks out after the two, and then rolls Hunter into yet another small package pin, and the fans have clearly understood just how much the Senator likes this move. Hunter throws the Senator off, leaps into the air, and mounts the top turnbuckle. He spins around with his foot pointing directly at the Senator’s head…but the Senator ducks, grabs Hunter into a stranglehold, and then executes his desperation finisher, the Stranglehold Brainbuster!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Oooooh, sickening!
Maxwell McNally: That desperation move may very well give the Senator the advantage!
The Senator quickly crawls over to Hunter and puts his arm over him. After the two count, no one expects Hunter to kick out…but as always with Hunter, it is better to expect the unexpected, as he raises his arm high into the air. The Senator looks up from the ground at his protégé, who simply smirks and shakes his head.
Maxwell McNally: Clearly Hunter is telling the Senator that he will not back down!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Oh, the tension is so thick!
Hunter and the Senator both rise at the same moment, and without so much as a warning, Hunter charges in and nails the Senator into the mat with the Dynamite DDT. As the Senator lays motionless on the ground, Hunter climbs the turnbuckle yet again, and this time he signals for the Equinox.
Maxwell McNally: It looks like Hunter’s finally going to fly!
Hunter leaps into the air and flips once, and then continues falling with his elbow extended so as to connect with the Senator’s throat. But there’s one problem: the Senator is not there. Hunter widens his eyes a split second too late just as the Senator appears from out of nowhere and grabs him, then brings him down into a sit-down powerbomb!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: What a marvelous counter by the Senator!
The Senator holds onto Hunter for the pin, but Hunter is able to kick out just before the three. The Senator rises and smirks over Hunter’s head, and then shakes his head. Hunter chuckles a tad, and then rolls backwards and grabs both of the Senator’s legs and pulls him downward. He first twists the Senator’s legs together, and then leaps over him and bridges.
Maxwell McNally: A unique submission by Hunter…it appears to be a sort of cross-legged Cattle Mutilation.
Unfortunately for Hunter, this extremely brilliant move is flawed, in that it was applied too close to the ropes. The Senator grabs them and Hunter lets go of the move, contemplating his next action very deeply. The Senator rises momentarily, and then drops down to his knees again. Hunter pauses, confused by this, wondering if perhaps he had done much more damage to the Senator than he had anticipated. He slowly walks forward…and then the Senator springs up and nails him in the head with the Partisan Kick!

“Fast” Eddie Edison: The Senator simply played possum, and then he hit that move perfectly!
Maxwell McNally: It looks like the Senator is getting that advantage he hoped for!
But the Senator does not cover. Instead, he looks on in awe as Hunter rises to his feet, dusts his shoulder off, and looks at him with a fierce determination in his eyes.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: It barely fazed him! Hunter is not going to give up that easily!
The Senator nods, and then the two men lock up in the center of the ring. The Senator trips Hunter and tries to lock in a sleeper, but Hunter grabs his arms and sits down, stunning the Senator momentarily. Hunter then gets to his feet and spins around, locking up with the Senator again. He lifts him up into the suplex position, but the Senator flips over, so as both of their backs are connected with each other.
Maxwell McNally: Some more great counters from these two amazing athletes…
Hunter spins around and grabs the Senator’s gut, but the Senator is able to elbow Hunter in the side of the head, spin around, and grab him in the Fisherman’s Suplex position. He nails the move perfectly and bridges.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Ah, who doesn’t love a good Fisherman’s Suplex here and there?
Maxwell McNally: Wait a minute…what is the Senator doing?
Instead of waiting for the pin to be counted, the Senator pushes off the mat while still holding onto Hunter in the Fisherman’s Suplex position. He pushes off so hard, in fact, that he is able to perfectly land on his feet while still holding Hunter in the air.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: …I don’t believe it!
Oh, but there’s more. The Senator quickly drops Hunter back onto his feet, and in one fluid motion nails the dead end version of the Filibuster!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS!
Maxwell McNally: The Filibuster out of nowhere!
The Senator covers, and Hunter does not have enough energy at the moment to kick out…
Philip: The Senator has scored a pinfall! He now simply needs a submission, knockout, or count-out to win the match!
Maxwell McNally: I must say, that was an amazing few moments by the Senator.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: It just makes you wonder: “what else could these two possibly bust out?”
Hunter rises slowly, and the Senator gets to his feet and lets him rise while looking him up and down slowly. They have been going very strong for a long time now, and no one is quite sure if they actually have anything left to bust out. But as always, it is not a smart idea to underestimate either man. Hunter charges in and ducks a lariat from the Senator, then raises him high and nails him with a pendulum backbreaker. But he’s not done there, as he holds onto the move, stands up, turns the Senator over midair, and nails a gutbuster!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Great series of moves by Hunter there! He sure as heck isn’t out of this one yet!
Hunter goes for a quick cover, but the Senator is able to kick out. Hunter grabs the Senator’s head and locks him into a buffalo sleeper hold, and then lifts him up while still applying the hold. He then drops down to his knees and pulls the Senator over his head, causing the Senator to hit the mat hard face first. He then moves over to the side and grabs the Senator’s right arm and leg, smiles…and locks in the Eighth Sin.
Maxwell McNally: A devastating submission move, Hunter hasn’t used this in months!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: And as he so likes to point out, tapping commences immediately when being held in this move.
Maxwell McNally: Looking at the Senator, you wouldn’t figure that…
Indeed, for the Senator does not tap. He takes the bulk of the pain and simply reaches for the ropes as hard as he possibly can. And lo and behold, he is somehow able to grab onto the bottom one. The referee forces the break, and Hunter frustratingly breaks the hold. But the damage has most definitely been done.
Maxwell McNally: Look at the Senator here; his right leg is clearly in pain after all of those submissions Hunter has forced onto it.
It’s as if McNally was reading Hunter’s mind. Hunter charges in and hits a lariat onto the Senator’s right knee, and then grabs it in a leg lock and twists with all of his energy. But somehow the Senator still does not tap, and instead is actually able to kick hard at Hunter, forcing the latter to break the hold.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: The Senator’s being quite aggressive in this match…
Maxwell McNally: Well wouldn’t you be if you were in that many submissions?
If there is one moment that the Senator takes to strike hard, it is this one. He thrusts his left fist forward, and Hunter raises his arms to block it…but only one second too late does he realize that the Senator does not often use that hand. And that’s when a stinging chop slaps across his chest.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The Senator’s known for those mean chops!
And so he chops Hunter again…and again…and again. He could chop all night if he had to, and the fans would be completely “Woo’d” out! Hunter grabs the Senator’s hand and throws it out of the way, then hits him with a chop of his own.
Maxwell McNally: Heh, Hunter sure can chop as well…
Hunter lifts the Senator up into the suplex position shortly after catching him off guard with the chop. The Senator’s mind races; after all, Hunter has some thirty odd moves he could do from this position. The Senator decides to simply let Hunter continue the move, and then attempt to reverse it in the middle of the move. Hunter brings the Senator down in the all-too-familiar Shotgun position, and the Senator quickly latches his legs around Hunter, causing himself to be stuck to Hunter.
Maxwell McNally: Ah, a very creative counter to Hunter’s Shotgun!
Hunter tries to throw the Senator off, but the Senator does not let go. Instead, he drops back and lands his hands flat on the mat. He tries to flip the two of them over, but Hunter will not let the Senator complete this. Instead, Hunter sits down quickly, knocking out the Senator momentarily with a quick shot to the back. Hunter covers him, but the Senator is able to kick out.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Looks like that move backfired…
Maxwell McNally: Maybe from your position. But from the Senator’s, he just blocked Hunter’s finisher and kept this match going strong!
The Senator rolls backwards away from Hunter and then rolls through with a dropkick to the face. Directly after this, Hunter rolls to the side and gets to his feet as well, and the two men spin around and cringe once their two fists connect. They both try for kicks, but their legs bounce off each other. They try for chops, but their hands connect in the center of the ring instead. They try for enziguris…but both of them end up hitting the move, and both simultaneously fall to the ground.
Maxwell McNally: Well this, if anything at all, proves just how evenly matched these two are!
They lie there momentarily stunned, neither quite sure just exactly how they managed to hit the exact same moves. But besides that thought, they both ponder a new course of action. Hunter needs any sort of fall to win…and yet it’s proving difficult to attain. The Senator simply needs a submission fall (one of his personal favorites) to win…and yet it’s just too difficult for either men to do what they must.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: And they’re up!
Indeed they are, and when they’re up, they have to adjust themselves properly, so that they can take advantage of the situation. Both men see the advantage at the same moment, and they launch at each other at the speed of light. The Senator grabs Hunter in a side headlock, but Hunter is able to backdrop him to get out of the move. And though he may have escaped the ever-deadly headlock, he cannot escape the armlock that the Senator throws onto him while they lie on the ground.
Maxwell McNally: Looks like there’s some more chain wrestling here!
Hunter rolls onto the Senator, tilts his head slightly, and smirks as the Senator looks on with widened eyes. And then Hunter rolls over the Senator’s head, causing the stretching of his legs to receive so much pain that he is forced to break the hold. Hunter gets to his feet, and at the exact second that the Senator follows suit, Hunter kicks him in the gut. He then lifts him up high and gets him into the Outsider’s Edge position, from which he clearly plans one of his more popular finishers.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Red Apple Driver on the way!
Indeed, the “infamously named after Pulp Fiction” finisher that has a large part in Hunter’s moveset is what the leader of the Senatorial Stable is planning. And so he spins the Senator into the move, just as he would with a normal RAD…and yet somehow, this time around the move is different. Only at the last second does Hunter realize the problem: he’s lower to the mat when compared to the Senator. His eyes widen a split second too late, as the Senator lands on his knees and slams Hunter down with a spinebuster!
Maxwell McNally: A masterful counter by the Senator!

The Senator knows that he cannot win with a pinfall, and so he grabs Hunter’s legs and prepares for the Victory Lock II. But Hunter will have none of it, and so he kicks the Senator away and crawls to the opposite corner, where he proceeds to pull himself up. He stands in the corner just as the Senator charges at him for a Partisan Kick…but Hunter dodges it, and the Senator’s leg gets hung up on the turnbuckle. Hunter quickly runs to the adjacent turnbuckle, leaps on, spins around…and prays. And apparently his prayer went through, as he is able to run the course of the entire rope and nail the Senator with a forceful Floyd Kick to the back of the head!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: MY GOD, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS!!!
Maxwell McNally: Did you see that? Hunter just ran along the top rope---
“Fast” Eddie Edison: And he hit the Floyd Kick! It looks like the Senator’s losing that advantage sooner than he anticipated!
Hunter pulls the Senator down and covers him.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Well here it comes: 1…2…
But just before his hand hits the mat for the third time, the referee spots the Senator’s leg just slightly under the bottom rope. And thus, by the ancient rules of wrestling combat, he stops the count.
Maxwell McNally: The Senator still had enough energy to put his leg under the bottom rope!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: My God, he still has the advantage after all!
Hunter beats the mat in complete fury and frustration. He’s still at a significant disadvantage, despite the fact that the Senator can hardly blink after that last move. Hunter throws the Senator out of the ring and leans back on the ropes, looking on.
Maxwell McNally: It appears as if Hunter simply wants to get the Senator counted out!
It would be a clever strategy…if the Senator wasn’t able to spring up after three and roll into the ring. The Senator cracks his neck and looks at Hunter blankly. Hunter has never before seen the Senator like this…
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Look at the Senator…I think he just got his twenty-seventh wind!
That may very well be possible, as the Senator charges in and hits Hunter with his Crossfire Crescent Kicks once again. But Hunter has seen enough of these to know just exactly how to reverse them, especially since he was able to do it earlier in the match. He grabs the Senator’s leg and is just about to stomp down on it…when the Senator leaps into the air and nails Hunter with a snap enziguri. Hunter falls down to the mat and the Senator quickly locks in the Tax Cut.
Maxwell McNally: It appears as if the Senator truly is looking for that final fall with a submission. And the Tax Cut may be the move that helps him get that fall!
The Senator holds onto the move tight, and Hunter is forced to use all of his energy to crawl over to the ropes. But eventually Hunter is actually able to do it, and so he grabs the ropes with all of his energy and holds on until the stinging sensation disappears. Hunter gets to his feet and feels the Senator tuck his arm under his own arms…and his natural reaction is to grab the ropes. And because of this action, he is able to stay flat on the ground, preventing the Senator to hit him with yet another Filibuster!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Though not the most athletic reversal, that still bought Hunter some more time to win this match!
The Senator contemplates his next move for only a few moments. He knows it is not a match-ending move, but it’s good enough for the time being to weaken Hunter. The Senator tucks his own head under Hunter’s legs and lifts him up into the schwein position. Maxwell McNally: Here comes the Polarizer for the second time in the match!
But apparently no, it does not. Hunter uses his weight to push the Senator over and is able to land directly on his feet with the Senator being held upside down, face out against him. Hunter raises the Senator up into the suplex position…
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Oh it can’t be!
…and nails the Shotgun possibly harder than he has ever nailed it before!
Maxwell McNally: IT IS!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS!!! THE SHOTGUN, THE SHOTGUN, THE SHOTGUN!!!
Maxwell McNally: THIS is the turning point we’ve all been waiting for!
The Senator blinks only for a second, not clearly sure he knows what just happened. Given the force of the move, the Senator has flown a rather large distance away from Hunter. Hunter slowly crawls over, completely determined to win this match. He covers, and the referee counts: one…two…
And then the unthinkable happens.
The Senator’s hand shoots up into the air along with his shoulder so fast, that some people say they missed it. Hunter stumbles back as the arena grows silent, and every single pair of eyes is on the Senator’s raised arm. But momentarily, the silence is broken as every fan in the arena cheers at the top of their lungs.
Maxwell McNally: …I don’t believe…
“Fast” Eddie Edison: THE SENATOR KICKED OUT OF THE SHOTGUN! OH MY GOD!!!
Maxwell McNally: I don’t think that’s even happened in…I don’t even think that’s ever happened!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: The Senator’s advantage continues! I can’t believe it!!!
Hunter stares at the Senator’s arm as it continues to simply float motionlessly in the air. Like everyone else…he didn’t even know that was possible. He rises once more, and thinks over long and hard about what he wants to do now. After all, he’s virtually exhausted his entire moveset, and almost any move he has left is sure to be countered by the Senator…except for one. But how to do it, and how to set it up? Would the Senator see it coming?
Maxwell McNally: The Senator’s BACK!
Hunter hears this announcement and spins around a second too late, as he gets brought down with a crushing lariat from the Senator. The Senator drops down for an elbow drop, but Hunter is able to roll out of the way before the Senator’s elbow demolishes his face. Hunter springs up and ducks a Roaring Elbow from the Senator, and then whips him hard into the corner. He punches, and chops, and kicks, but the Senator takes every single strike, until he grabs his hand and hits him with a snap forearm to the forehead.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Did you see that viciousness?
Maxwell McNally: I think NJPW’s going to want to hire the Senator after that stiff attack!
Hunter shakes it off, refusing to lose something as petty as a forearm blast. The Senator pushes him away and leaps onto the top turnbuckle, with his back to the ring.
Maxwell McNally: Is the Senator attempting a moonsault here?
No one knows for sure, not even Hunter. But Hunter sees this opportunity and cannot help but take it. He climbs up the turnbuckles until he reaches the top turnbuckle, with his head under the Senator. Hunter rises tall and proud on the top turnbuckle and smiles.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Oh my God! No way is he going to try…
Maxwell McNally: The Alter Event? Of course he is, Eddie! After all, he’s exhausted all other options!

Hunter leaps backwards and spins around, and then pulls the Senator down into the Rubix Cube position. The two of them soar through the air slowly, though at this time both their minds are racing. Hunter knows that after hitting a move such as this, he could simply pin the Senator and then throw him out of the ring and most definitely win the match. But the Senator thinks about something else entirely, and midair he springs. His arms grab onto Hunter’s legs and twist them together, and he uses his remaining momentum to continue spinning, so as Hunter is falling face down onto the mat. And they land just like that, and at that exact moment the Senator is able to complete the locking in of the Victory Lock II!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: OH…OH…MY…GOD. DAAAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS! HOLY MOTHER OF MERCY THAT WAS DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS!!!
Maxwell McNally: The Senator just reversed the Alter Event into the Victory Lock II!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Make that the AVALANCHE Victory Lock II! The Senator has it all!
Hunter feels the stinging sensation…no, sensation is too tame of a word. Hunter has never felt such pain before, and when he looks around, he realizes that he is directly in the center of the ring. There are no ropes even remotely close to him, and given that he just fell on his gut from a minimum height of fifteen feet, he is in no condition to crawl over to grab one of the ropes.
Maxwell McNally: Will he tap!?
Hunter feels as if his legs are going to come off at any moment, but he continues to fight the pain. Now he realizes what the Senator was…or rather, wasn’t doing. That was no moonsault he attempted. The Senator knew full well that Hunter would attempt the Alter Event, and he set it up for him. But not so that he could hit the move…and Hunter smiles. The fans are all on their feet as they look on at Hunter’s right hand, which lays motionlessly in the center of the ring.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: How can someone possibly hold on for this long? Why won’t he tap?
Not even Hunter can answer that question. He knows full well that the match will end right here. Perhaps it’s that sense of ego inside him that wants to hold out…but what’s the point? After asking himself this, and realizing what the answer is…that is when he finally does it. He does what the Senator wants, and what every fan is anticipating: he taps out. And the noise is lovely.
Philip: And after securing a submission, here is your winner………THE SENATOR!!!
The arena absolutely explodes after this announcement, and “Eye of the Tiger” explodes shortly thereafter. The Senator lets go of the hold and the two men simply lie down on the mat completely motionless. Their minds race, and both of them have trouble even beginning to think of what just happened.
Maxwell McNally: I can’t believe it! The Senator has done it, he has earned a victory over Hunter!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: And what a victory at that! This is probably one of…if not THE single greatest match in ACW history!
Maxwell McNally: But all good things must come to an end, as the saying goes…
“Fast” Eddie Edison: And even though it has ended, it will never be forgotten…
The fans are going completely ballistic even though the match has been over for quite some time. Chants of “best match ever!”, “AY-CEE-DUB!”, and “ONE MORE TIME!” fill the arena, all of them synching up with each other and creating an amazing atmosphere. And it is to this atmosphere that the Senator rises, and he looks around with a smile on his face as the fans continue cheering. Shortly after, Hunter gets to one knee and looks up at the Senator.
Hunter: …how about another go?
The Senator chuckles.
Senator: No, my friend. No clause or loophole is going to get me back here. You wanted it “one more time”, and you got it. And for that, you should be grateful.
Hunter: Oh I am…
Senator: Good.
Hunter: So you’re done, then? You’re going away forever?
Senator: It would appear so.
Hunter: Is that the truth?
Senator: Nothing but…
They laugh together for a moment as Hunter looks up at him once more.
Hunter: Senator…?
Senator: Yes?
Hunter: …I’ll send you a fruit basket.
And with that, he collapses as the Senator simply chuckles. The Senator slides out of the ring as the EMTs enter it to assist Hunter. The Senator takes a slow walk up the ramp as the fans all get to their feet to cheer and applaud a true ACW legend. The Senator stops at the top of the stage and turns around one final time. And with that trademark smirk, he turns around and disappears behind that curtain, never to be seen in another ACW ring again…
…unless, you know, someone finds another loophole.
Fade Out.

Segment: Soliloquy (Credit: BK)
As we return from the last segment, the camera pans quickly throughout the entire area and the fans anticipate on the next event they are about to witness. And suddenly, the arena plunges into darkness. The fans are confused as they don't know what is occurring next and it becomes even more puzzling when they hear a voice.
??: There are some superstars who take months and months off after being burned out, or recuperating from an injury, and during that time other superstars rise up and steal the limelight away from them. And slowly, but surely, their connection with the fans slowly drift away. I never intend on that to happen, ‘til the day I DIE I will chisel my place in history and make sure NO ONE ever forgets me...
The arena illuminates slightly once again, so as the spot light shines down in the middle of the ring on one being, and that being is none other than BK London. While he isn't scheduled for a match tonight, BK's is still dressed in his ring attire as if he were ready for battle at any time. Upon being revealed to the crowd, he receives another mixed reaction but the reaction of the crowd doesn't matter too much to him.
BK: Some fans have labeled Omega Effect, BK London's one last hurrah. They have gone amongst themselves to assume that THAT was the last time we'll ever see the BK London that tears the house down with his matches, and the last time we'll see how great of wrestler he truly was. And up to tonight, from my performances after Omega Effect, they were probably right. Losing in the opening round of the tournament to Wyvern and Red, and then losing my match to Sarin thereafter, started the downward spiral. Which crash landed when I was benched by Gingerdude, possibly the man who never doubted my in ring ability once - the man who when he needed a powerhouse main event, I delivered. While I didn't receive the worst of the punishment like my pal Jake, it's always a stake to the heart when the craft that you have taken time to perfect, is snatched away in the snap of a finger.
BK stretches out his legs and puts one over the other in a lackadasical fashion before looking up towards the light.
BK: You've heard the saying before "Wrestling is my mistress" and those words have never been any more important to me in my life that it is right now. She has wanted everything from me, and by force she has taken it. She has taken by blood, my sweat, my tears, my soul, and most importantly MY LIFE. And throughout the years, she has made me sick to my stomach - sick to my stomach because of how selfish she was. Never giving me anything in return for all of my hard work, WHAT ABOUT ME?! But although she makes me sick - I can't let go of her.
BK now sits up in his chair and the camera closes in to get a perfect shot. The spotlight positioned perfectly above BK, the shadows positioned perfectly to mask one side of his face to give a more demonic look. Capturing the true essence of this whole segment.
BK: On Warfare, I lied to you all for my reason for suddenly turning up, it was much more than what was revealed. On that lonely Monday and Thursday while I sat home and tuned into ACW programming, I watched as superstars like XS3, Rattlesnake, and others parodied me, insulted me, spit on everything I worked for. At that moment, I took each comment with a grain of salt because I could careless what they think. But when they got into that ring, and wrestled - it tore me up inside. It was like watching your girl, gently caress another guy - cheat on you with another man right in front of your very eyes. I loved her - but she didn't love me back! And that's when I realized, it's time for me to be in the drivers seat.
BK slowly begins to rock back and forward, like a demented lost soul, crazed in the mind.
BK: This time around, I'm going to be the puppeteer. She will no longer have her almost hypnotic spell on me because I'm going to be the one who takes tears, I'm going to be the one who takes the blood, I'M GOING TO BE THE ONE WHO TAKES LIVES! She doesn't know how much she hurt me, and she doesn't care. Well if she doesn't care about me, if she doesn't love me the way I loved her, then FUCK her! She has filled me up with pent up aggression, pent up rage, rage that I plan to let loose on the ACW roster. No more times of playing games to please the fans, no more times of playing games to please anyone else. I've gone down that route, and it has never worked out in the end so now I'm out to PLEASE me.
BK rises out of his seat and the steel chair falls back in the process, as he approaches the ropes and rests his arm on it.
BK: I have a lot more than one last hurrah in me. You don't appeal to the real wrestler like me, the man who makes sure he is out every night doing what he does best. Instead you cheer for some overrated sons of bitches who wrestle on select nights and show up whenever the hell they want to. It's time for ACW to take a new turn folks, and the new turn begins August 26th 2006....at ACW Heatwave!..........LATINO! I have no doubt in you that you will be the champion by the end of the night, so I will make out the challenge right now. I challenge you to a match one month from now for your ACW Heavyweight Championship. And whether the championship returns to me or not, I'm going to make sure that you won't leave the arena the same ever again!
BK drops the mic and walks out of the ring. There is not music, there is no reaction of cheers or boos from the crowd. Just total silence, tonight BK has made a statement, a statement that will never be forgotten.
Fade Out.

Golden Ticket Treasure Hunt – Part 6
Things are starting to get desperate for the treasure hunters; with only two matches remaining on the card and still no sign of the contract, Wyvern looks quite dejected as he walks slowly along the corridor. He’s been all over the arena and expended a great deal of energy, and can’t help but feel that he’s being taken for a ride over the entire thing. He is on the verge of giving up on the search, when he notices whose locker room he is passing, and a thought occurs to him…
Quietly, he pushes open the door to the locker room, which is extremely familiar to the ACW fans since it belongs to Latino and AK. It’s quite tidy, which makes it fairly simple for Wyvern to scan, opening up the few cupboards and peering underneath furniture.
A pattering of feet puts Wyvern on his guard; Pacino the Pitbull approaches, and puts his head on his side as he looks at the intruder, but Wyvern deals with it with aplomb by ruffling the dog around the head. Pacino sticks his tongue out as he pants, enjoying being petted-
??: Chula! Is that you?
Wyvern stands up, realizing that Latino must be in the en-suite preparing for his match.
Latino: Chulita, are you ok?
Wyvern (in as high a voice as he can manage): Er, yes, honey!
Latino is heard laughing from within the bathroom, and Wyvern quickly hurries over to where the wall of Hispanic Heroes is, checking behind it. But still nothing.
Latino: So, did you find the contract yet?
Wyvern curses inwardly; if this is one of Atomic’s schemes, the chances are she would have told Latino if he wasn’t directly involved. He’s back to square one… and then to his surprise Latino comes out of the bathroom, drying his head and hair with a towel. Quick as a flash, Wyvern slips behind him, and directs Latino to the couch.
Wyvern: You need to relax before your match… let me give you a massage for those tight shoulders. Keep your eyes closed, ok?
The crowd is highly amused as Wyvern rubs Latino’s shoulders and back; Latino stretches and relaxes.
Latino: What’s up with your voice? You sound like you’re getting a cold…
Wyvern: Uh, yes, maybe… you could have water in your ears too…
Latino chuckles, and Wyvern hopes that he can find a way to get out quickly – until Latino divulges a crucial bit of information.
Latino: Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you… Kevin told me at the coffee machine that he saw Ginger sneaking into Tim Dwight’s gym this afternoon, with something hidden under his coat. Do you think that could be what you’re looking for?
Wyvern almost punches the air; he starts to move toward the door… but his plan goes up in smoke as the door bursts open, and Santiago charges in.
Santiago: I TOLD you, I don’t trust you one bit! I bet it’s been here all the time!
AK is hot on his heels, and is livid at Santiago’s incursion.
AK: Get the hell out of my locker room!
She tackles Santiago to the floor, almost on top of Richard Parker who take immediate offense to Santiago’s presence, and claws him viciously; Latino pulls the towel off of him and looks around, to see Wyvern poised behind him. There is a delay of about a second or so, and then Wyvern smiles cheesily.
Wyvern: Was it good for you, too?
He rockets out the door, leaving Latino to shout the house down; Kudo is just approaching the door, and immediately diverts to follow Wyvern, pursued a second or so later by AK and Santiago. Their long hunt could be coming to an end…
