Segment: Suitor #6 and #7 (Credit: Yoko)
The search moves onward. As The Royales are looking for people who may team with them, they catch a glimpse of someone…golden, ahead of them.
Ivor: Hey, it’s that Olympica guy!
Pat: He could be awesome!
Ivor: Olympica…Olympus?
Pat: Olympia, it’s Olympia. MR. OLYMPIA, WAIT!
They rush after him but he only seems to get further away.
Pat: WAIT MR. OLYMPIA, WE WANT YOU TO BE ON OUR TEAM TONIGHT!
Olympia stops walking, and turns around to face them. After about ten seconds, he shrugs and opens a door to his left and steps inside. The Royales rush up the hall to the door and open it, and…he isn’t there. Also it’s a broom closet.
Ivor: Where the hell did he go? He walked right in here!
Someone walks by them. Ivor misses it, but Pat doesn’t, and he grabs their shoulder to stop them.
Pat: Please, be on our team tonight? We’re desperate and need you.
He has stopped…Adrienne Frost.
Adrienne: I hear that line a lot. Now let go of my arm before I tear off yours.
Pat: Please? We don’t care that you’re a girl, even. We just need to fill our slots, and we have zero definites so far.
Ivor: Before you answer, consider this; we’re going to win. Not only will you be on the winning team, we’ll even let you get the last elimination. You haven’t had a win of that scale since you beat Hunter… Or Chance Emmerson, the current ACW champ.
Pat: Chance is champ? No joke? And the chick beat him before? Huh.
Adrienne: It’s a tempting offer. I’ll have to think about it. But if I do it, I’m getting all five eliminations. Without your help.
Pat: Deal! Just consider it!
He lets go and Adrienne walks off.
End Segment.

Match 5: Blood, Guts, and Glory Match Latino & AK and Snake vs. Top Draw and Kudo (Credit: BK/AK)
There has been a change in the air as the show cuts back to the main arena, for the crowd is well aware that the next match has the potential to be spectacular, awe inspiring, and yet awful all at the same time. Even seasoned commentators McNally and Edison look as if they’re steeling themselves for this one, and the crowd’s pop is tempered as Philip enters the ring.
Phillip: This following match is the Blood, Guts, and Glory match...
The fans can’t keep their feelings hidden for long. A huge surge of cheers fills up the arena as they wait for one of the most anticipated matches of the evening. In the ring, referee Keiji Makabe is preparing to officiate, and on the outside Joey Reynolds is acting as his assistant, overseeing the timing of the various stages and the all-important coin tosses.
Phillip: This match will be contested under Hardcore Rules, the first two participants in this match will fight for five minutes until the buzzer sounds. When the buzzer sounds after the first two participant, a coin toss - which has been decided already - will decide which one of the two teams will be accompanied by their partner. Another buzzer will ring two minutes later, and the 2nd person of the opposing team will run down. The process will continue until all six members are out. This match is contested under ONE fall.
They've heard the rules before, and now a hush comes over the crowd as they wait for the first person on the opposing team. The choices each team have made on entry order could very well decide the outcome, albeit indirectly…
Phillip: The first participant, coming to the ring weighing in at 230lbs, from Brooklyn, New York, BK London!
The lights in the arena flash all different colors as "Kingdom Come" by Jay-Z bursts into life and the crowd breaks into a frenzy of cheers for the veteran BK London. Smoke pours out from the stage and coming through the smoke is the man who has been taking ACW by storm for nearly 3 years, comes out from behind the curtain onto the stage. He looks from side to side, surveying the audience before making his way down the ramp. Upon hitting the bottom of the rampway, the cameras get a shot directly in front of him and he does his signature *BK Pose* and the pyro shoots up behind him. His pace then quickens as he slides into the ring and makes his way toward the middle turnbuckle where he perches himself to strike another BK pose. He steps down soon enough and waits for his opponent to make their way to the ring.[/i]
Philliip: And his opponent, coming to the ring weighing in at 277lbs, from Orlando, Florida, Rattlesnake!
The lights fade to black in characteristic fashion, and the crowd roars. Booing, certainly, but somehow that’s less significant than the sheer amount of noise…
Two green spotlight shine across the fans and stop at the top of the entrance ramp. The spotlights quickly shut off shortly after. The words "Don't fear the reaper, fear the Rattler" echo throughout the arena, and then the now familiar intro to Blind" by Silverchair rouses the fans even higher. The spotlights flicker back on as a huge surge of green pyros blast off with a huge cloud of smoke. As the smoke clears, Rattlesnake appears in the spotlights. He slowly walks down the ramp and looks at the fans as he passes. He stops to look around and smirks, taking his time, making his point. He slowly raises his arms to boos from the fans. He starts walking down to the ring again. As he inches closer to the ring, the arena lights slowly come back on until he reaches the steps. He walks up and steps into the ring. He walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs it. He looks around as flashbulbs continuously go off. He smirks and jumps down. As he turns around, he is blindsided by an attack by BK London and the match begins.
*The Bell rings*
BK, getting the somewhat unfair advantage begins to pummel Rattlesnake in the corner with hefty forearms. While this isn't exactly a "fair" tactic, the crowd continues to cheer him because of their passionate hate for Rattlesnake. The quick and heavy forearms send Rattlesnake down into the bottom turnbuckle of the corner and BK even goes as far as to choke the big man using the sole of his boot. Rattlesnake's face begins to turn a bright red color as the air is being cut off from his brain, and finally BK releases the hold. He walks out into the center of the ring, trying to get the support of the crowd as slowly Rattlesnake climbs to his feet - attempting to catch his breath because of the last move. Finally BK turns around towards Rattlesnake, and almost locks onto him as if he were a sniper and goes in for the kill - but his plan is derailed when the Big Bad Rattlesnake levels him with a clothesline after bursting out of the corner.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Woohoo! Looks like this match has started with a bang, Max!
Maxwell McNally: You can say that again, Eddie!
Eddie opens his mouth, notices Max’s expression, and resists the obvious temptation, albeit with a grin. Meanwhile, back in the ring the back of BK's neck has snapped against the mat hard after that clothesline and Rattlesnake simply stands over him, still trying to suck in all the oxygen he can. The crowd around him roars in disapproval of the recovery of Rattlesnake, but Rattlesnake simply smirks once he regains his composure and works back on the task at hand. Rattlesnake picks up the former ACW Champion and sends him flying through the air from the center of the ring to corner with ease. BK's back strikes the corner hard, and he is sent face first to the ground - but being the persistent superstar he is, he knows what is on the line and doesn't stay down for long. He rises up in the corner and is drilled with a vicious elbow, from the Emperor of the Ring, in his throat. Now BK is the one trying to grab all the oxygen he can as Rattlesnake continues the relentless assault to the larynx before whipping him across the ring into the turnbuckle and an amazing speed.
McNally: Snake showing no signs whatsoever of slowing down. It’s almost as if he wants to dominate this match and end it before anyone else gets a look-in…
Edison: That’s a tall order against BK London, and no mistake. I don’t think BK’s in any mood to capitulate-
BK bounces out of the corner from the sheer velocity and impact after connecting and staggers to the center of the ring, but not on his own accord. Rattlesnake shows his amazing strength right here and manages to hoist BK over his head into a military press, without even breaking a sweat. Rattlesnake even showboats a bit, walking around the ring with BK held up high, before dropping him on one shoulders and drilling him into the mat with a hellacious powerslam. BK's body almost seems to bounce up from the mat after that attack, and while it would be very opportunistic for Rattlesnake to go for a pin, he doesn't do so as he has punishment in mind. Rattlesnake steps over the top rope to the outside with the unruly fans, jeering and shouting cursewords at him as he retrieves a table from under the ring.
Edison: Here comes the hardware… it’ll be champagne all round at ACW’s table suppliers after tonight!

Rattlesnake picks up the table and slides it into the ring next to London, before returning to the ring himself. BK sees the table and knows that he's in for it, and even begins to crawl towards the ropes to help himself up but Rattlesnake cuts him off with a stomp to the back of his neck. Rattlesnake goes over to his table and sets it up perfectly, making sure none of the legs are wobbly for what he's about to do. Rattlesnake now grabs the inert BK, and throws his head between his legs, looking for a Powerbomb-like maneuver. Rattlesnake hoists BK up on his shoulders, but BK begins to fight back - showing a heart of a lion. Several forearms to the face later, BK slips off Rattlesnake's shoulders and battles him with countless European Uppercuts to his jaw. Rattlesnake staggers back, but comes back even fiercer with a haymaker to BK. He then grabs BK's arm and looks for the Pumphandle Slam, but BK slips over his shoulder escaping the move. Rattlesnake turns around and then - THWACK! - he is the recipient of the Shades of Michaels.
Rattlesnake staggers back, and eventually falls onto the table and BK sees everything in place. He staggers towards the ropes and now onto the apron before ascending to the top rope, with spaghetti legs.
Edison: Amazing, BK already going for a killer strike on Rattlesnake! This could effectively take Snake out of the match right here-
McNally: But look, look at the timekeeper! That running clock is about to hit the five minute mark, this could seal the deal or blow the match wide open… here it comes…
FIVE . . FOUR . . THREE . . TWO . . ONE!
A klaxon sounds, and BK instinctively pauses. The coin held by assistant referee Joey Reynolds is already in the air, and he catches it and immediately checks the result before speaking quickly into a short range radio connected to the production booth. BK, perched and ready to hit his 'From Brooklyn to London' maneuver, realizes that he can’t waste any time and prepares to jump, but a split second before he takes off the sounds of "Faster Kill Pussycat" hit the speakers…
Edison: INCOMING!! And it’s the last person BK wanted to see right now!
McNally: London’s got two minutes of pure pressure to survive, can he hold his ground until reinforcements arrive?
AK isn’t slow to respond to the cue backstage; she rushes out from the back, barely even registering the waves of boos from the crowd and focused solely on stopping BK’s attack. From the top, BK eyes her, and after the comments towards him in that interview on Warfare, he dives off the top rope and into her arms as she reaches ringside. The pair spill out on the floor and rights and lefts are exchanged; so much has gone on between them in the last month and now it all has to be exorcised, and the crowd just gets louder as the two manage to rise to their feet and battle it out. AK backs off slightly, but then comes back toward BK, and BK stops her in the middle of her tracks with a kick to her gut. He now looks for his signature move he calls 'The Revolver' but as he makes the twist AK pushes him off. BK is pushed toward the apron where a split second later he is leveled by a baseball slide from Snake.
McNally: A wonderful tag team tandem move by the duo of AK and Rattlesnake, they’ve taken a few lessons from their previous matchup with London and Cheng.
AK tosses BK in the ring to feed him back Rattlesnake as she goes under the ring; Rattlesnake gives her a swift nod as a signal when she emerges, and AK pulls out a steel chair. She rolls into the ring and sets it up in the unfolded position a few feet away from the turnbuckle. Rattlesnake punches BK a couple more times to make certain he’s dazed, and then pushes BK towards her. AK grabs BK and runs up the turnbuckle, looking for her Fox Flip and it connects in a very hardcore fashion, guillotining the former World Champ. The crowd howls in a mixture of anger and sympathetic response, as if feeling some measure of the effects themselves.
Edison: OOOOOOH, that was brutal!
BK rolls around on the mat, clutching his throat in pain while AK makes the cover, but BK manages to get his shoulder up. At once AK rolls off and Rattlesnake elbow drops, targeting the same area; BK bucks in pain, and Rattlesnake makes a pin of his own. Referee Makabe counts a second time and Snake gets a two, much to his chagrin; AK and Snake can't believe it and they waste no time going to work on BK yet again, with heavy stomps to the sternum.
McNally: How much more of this can BK endure? He needs backup, and damn quick!
It appears that the “celestial timekeeper” agrees, for at that moment the more earthly version is counting down the two minutes to their conclusion…
FIVE . . FOUR
AK sees the countdown going on and tells Rattlesnake to lock in his Constrictor. . THREE . . TWO . Rattlesnake does so and AK slides out the ring, ready for whoever is going to run down to the ring.
ONE!

"Hero" by Divinefire sounds throughout the arena and Jake bursts from behind the curtain and rushes down to the ring as he sees his partner slowly fading away. AK takes a swing at Jake with her extended foot, attempting to kick him back, but Jake manages to evade the move by ducking under it and strikes AK with a Jumping Enziguri to the back of her head. AK's head smacks against the back of the apron, for double the pain and double the fun for Jake, and the crowd cheers loudly. Back in the ring, Rattlesnake has locked on the body scissors to the Dragon Sleeper, grounding BK. Jake hops up on the apron and quickly springboards off the top rope and connects with a Leg Drop to Rattlesnake's head. Rattlesnake immediately breaks the hold and BK immediately rolls out the ring, to prevent himself from suffering any further damage. Jake sees Rattlesnake rising up to his feet before bouncing off the ropes and taking him down with a Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors with an extra two spins before tossing him across the ring. Rattlesnake slowly gets up after that move, a little dizzy and he begins staggering about. Jake finds himself slipping out onto the apron and climbing the top rope like a cat before diving off, and looking to take Rattlesnake down with a Crossbody. Rattlesnake catches the barely 200lbs Jake in mid-air before throwing him over one shoulder and looking to hit him with the Snake Eyes in the corner. What he doesn't see is BK re-entering the ring, grabbing the steel chair from earlier and as he is running towards the corner, BK hops up on the apron and gives Rattlesnake a throat full of chair.
McNally: They say what goes around, comes around… and there’s precious little sympathy for Rattlesnake in this arena after that.
Edison: Yeah, but the worst thing you can do to a Rattlesnake is wound it, Max…
Rattlesnake clutches his neck and drops Jake in the process, and Jake manages to capitalize with an Inverted DDT to the Emperor of the Ring. Jake quickly covers Rattlesnake, but Rattlesnake manages to power out of the cover still. BK picks up Rattlesnake and the pair set him up for a double suplex in the center of the ring and they hit it, knocking the table down that was there in the process for good measure. As BK gets up, he is pulled out the ring by Atomic Kitsune and thrown harshly, back first into the steel steps. The crowd cringes upon the sight, and BK simply flops to the ground below as AK rolls in the ring herself. She goes after Jake and starts pummeling him with hefty forearms to the jaw before getting him on the ropes. AK attempts to whip Jake off the ropes, but he counters it and kicks AK in the stomach before he goes for his Shiranui he dubs 'Last Resort'. As Jake flips in the air, he is shocked when he flips into the arms of the big bad Rattlesnake. Rattlesnake carries him on his shoulder a bit before powerslaming him hard on the steel chair in the ring.
McNally: Another demonstration of teamwork from AK and Snake, we know Top Draw are just as capable in that department, but they have to find a way to communicate…
Edison: I agree Max, they’re not yet pulling together the way they need to, but I still have faith that they’ll get it together.
Jake screams out in pain a bit and now AK begins to take the table, which for some reason in this hardcore match is still in one piece, and sets it up in the corner. Rattlesnake picks up the lifeless body for the former Light Heavyweight Champion and sets him up in the opposite corner, and from the early parts of the match we know how hard Rattlesnake can irish whip. Rattlesnake sends Jake running across the ring with an irish whip at a very fast speed, but just before Jake strikes the table he is tackled by his parter BK for the save. The crowd goes absolutely nuts for this maneuver, but AK and Rattlesnake aren't too fond of it.
They stomp away at the former World Champion for saving his partner before picking him up and setting him up on the ropes. The pair bounces BK off the ropes, it looks as if they are attempting a Double Back Drop, but BK manages to scout the move and deliver kicks to the faces of both competitors. BK attempts to clothesline Rattlesnake, but instead Rattlesnake scoops him up in a Bearhug Hold Position while AK bounces off the ropes and……….
Edison: Woooooooah! Now THAT’S something no-one was expecting!
McNally: That’s the famous Hart Attack! You can’t beat the classics, Eddie, and even these fans appreciated that little trip down memory lane.
The crowd indeed applauds the nostalgic factor in this match, but it has a down side, for it appears BK is now down for the count. With Jake also struggling to get back up, AK and Snake seem to have things firmly under control…
Following a brief consultation with Rattlesnake, AK goes under the ring and the look of exhaustion which has been flickering momentarily across her face now turns to a smile as she pulls out a large plywood board filled with razor sharp barbed wire. Back in the ring, Rattlesnake is putting the hurting down on both BK and Jake, but the second of the two crucial junctions in the match is about to be reached…
FIVE . . FOUR . . THREE . . TWO . . ONE!

Reynolds efficiently carries out the second toss, and the fans are all ready for the big turnaround… but then "Lowrider" by War sounds and the arena now fills with boos for the final part of the apparently dominant tag team trio, Latino. Latino struts down to the ring at his own pace, knowing that his team has got this in the bag.
Edison: Aaaaah, of all the stinkin’ luck… this is beyond a joke now, Max.
McNally: Latino isn’t even bothering to hurry… but maybe that’s a good thing, at least from Top Draw’s point of view.
Rattlesnake is still dismantling both members of Top Draw, but Jake begins to show some life and pulls himself back to his feet and starts taking it to the big man all by himself. Jake bounces off the ropes and Rattlesnake goes for a clothesline but he ducks under it, Jake manages to slide under the bottom rope in the process and take Latino down with a Baseball Slide Headscissors Takedown. Latino is sent rolling back up the ramp which he came from while Rattlesnake heads towards the ropes to help his partner in need. BK has other plans as he pulls Rattlesnake back in the center of the ring and delivers a European Uppercut to Rattlesnake. BK bounces off the ropes but Rattlesnake catches him in his hand and chokes him. Rattlesnake then throws BK's arm over his shoulder and lifts him up for the Chokeslam, but BK manages to counter in mid-air into a sloppy, but effective, version of The Revolver. Rattlesnake flops over on his stomach and BK wastes no time making the cover. It would seem he would have the match won, as the camera closes in on the cover but it is immediately broken up with a stiff football kick to the ribs by AK. BK rolls off of Rattlesnake, and holds his already punished back in pain as AK begins to wail on it some more with stomp after stomp after stomp, like a woman possessed. Stangely, however, her expression is not one of sadistic pleasure, but more one of focus, as if this is something that she just has to do.
Edison: What’s got into Alicia, Max? She’s got BK exactly where she’s wanted him for weeks, but by the looks of things she’d rather be just about anywhere else…
McNally: Hmm. I wonder…
Edison looks at McNally questioningly, but whatever Max was thinking, he keeps it to himself for now.
McNally: Oh, nothing. From a purely practical perspective it’s in her interests to target the most compromised member of the opposition, and BK’s already taken a lot of punishment.
Seeing what’s going on, Jake enters the ring, looking to end the assault but is derailed by AK’s husband Latino. The pair set up the table in the ring and toss BK's inert body to the outside while they look to put Jake through the table. Jake is motionless on the table after that vicious clothesline from Latino, and Latino begins to ascend the top rope. Yet once again, the clock is about to conspire, and this time it’s not in their favor…
FIVE . . FOUR . . THREE . . TWO . . ONE!
“Poison” by Takashi Sorimachi hits and Kudo shoots from the back, dropping his Light Heavyweight Title at the top of the stage to increase his speed. Kudo hops up on the apron and pushes Latino off to the outside before entering the ring himself. He and AK exchange rights and lefts right by the table which Jake is still lying on, but AK gets the better of the exchange with a knee to his gut. She looks for her Falling Star maneuver, but Kudo back drops her and stalks her from behind - hoping for her to get up. Kudo connects with his Spiral Dropkick, sending AK through the ropes and outside the ring and as he turns around he sees himself being stared at by Rattlesnake. The staredown continues in the ring as the crowd can feel the tension mounting between these two superstars as it has been doing for the past couple of weeks, and now in this tag team match they finally have a chance to settle it…

The moment doesn’t last long, and Kudo and Rattlesnake both move forward at the same time and battle commences. Kudo has a tangible advantage since he’s fresh and Snake’s already nearly 15 minutes into the match, and although Snake forces him to fight for every inch, Kudo manages to back Snake back up against the still standing table (which is fast earning itself a new ACW endurance record). On the outside, Jake is bringing Latino “up to speed” and fast-tracking him through some nasty strikes; AK grabs on to the apron cover and hauls herself up, taking in the situation. Her first instinct is to look for BK, and she moves carefully around until she sees him still on the mat where she and Snake threw him a couple of minutes before. BK is seemingly disorientated and wide open to all kinds of attacks, but even though the barbed wire board she retrieved earlier is not far away, AK hesitates and then instead hurries back to where Latino has rallied and is punching his way back against Jake. There is a thud as Rattlesnake manages to turn Kudo around and throw him at close range against the table, which still resolutely refuses to break; being of slightly smaller stature than his opponent, Kudo is able to duck Snake’s next punch and get behind the leaning table. He kicks against it and the table flips forward, whacking Snake solidly on the forehead; Snake curses, and the moment or so he loses pushing the table back off of him is enough for Kudo to emerge from the other side and bust Rattlesnake with a mighty roundhouse.
Edison: Yeaaah! I just love that move, and Kudo does it like no one else!
Rattlesnake staggers, and collapses… straight on top of Jake, who’s been feeling the combined strength of Latino and AK on the outside and has just been rolled back into the ring by the pair of them. Makabe sees that it’s a pin, and counts, 1…2- Kudo moves forward for the save but is beaten to it by BK, who has found more energy from somewhere. At once the crowd goes wild, for suddenly the ring is full and for the first time in the match everyone’s battling together; it’s Kudo who takes the lead and drives forward, hitting his K.O. Exploder on AK amidst the chaos. The fans love it and Kudo goes for the pin but is blocked by Latino, who lifts him right off the mat and into a backdrop; both men strike the canvas, and Latino smirks as he kips up – only to then be whipped jointly by BK and Jake into the stubborn table in the corner. They’ve barely completed this when Rattlesnake steams forward and hits a crushing double clothesline; the crowd boos furiously and Rattlesnake smirks, but he hasn’t seen that Kudo is up and getting that look in his eyes. Instead of taking on Snake directly, he rolls stealthily around until he’s between Rattlesnake and the corner where Latino is just barely staggering away from the table; Kudo slaps his head and then shouts at Rattlesnake in Japanese, and Snake turns swiftly to avoid being blindsided… missing the fact that Jake and BK are also rising. Before he can work out precisely what’s going on, Snake is caught by Top Draw and whipped at full power toward Kudo; seeing his nemesis, Snake doesn’t slow down and tries to take him out, but Kudo dives aside…
McNally: Look out, this is going to be reminiscent of a bona-fide rail wreck!
Edison: Holy cow! EUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM-
Snake ends up crashing straight into his own team mate with shoulder to the fore. The table finally surrenders and is cracked in half by the impact of two men hitting it at speed, and the fans bellow their approval as Rattlesnake and Latino collapse in a tangle of limbs, wood and metal frame.
Edison: DAAAANNNGEROOUSS!
McNally: For once, Eddie, your hyperbole is justified…
The camera gets in close; Rattlesnake and Latino are only moving slightly, and a crimson trickle on the white mat shows that at least one of them has been opened up. Despite this, however, their situation is not currently as bad as that of their team-mate; suffering from the effects of fatigue, AK struggles to her feet at the sound of the impact only to be knocked squarely down again from a massive punch, courtesy of BK. BK loses no time in paying AK back for services rendered, stamping viciously and landing several blows to her ribs and back when she rolls over to try and get clear. Jake joins in for a few seconds, and then gets a better idea; he slides to the outside and retrieves a couple of chairs, pushing them over to Kudo. Kudo frowns slightly – this sort of affair sits better with his alter ego KUDA, but he’s not about to create a division in the team as Jake gets hold of the final piece in the puzzle.
McNally: I do not like the look of this, Eddie, not one bit.

McNally’s reserve isn’t shared by the rest of the crowd; they shout with enthusiasm as Jake brings the barbed-wire board, and places it so that it is lying across the ring edge on one side and the security barrier on the other. The event staff usher the crowd back a little way; while all this has been going on, AK has somehow found enough strength to get back on her feet and is managing to hold BK at bay, but BK calls to Kudo for assistance and AK gets a taste of the Flashback elbow. The fans get rowdy as BK hoists AK up; with her light frame it’s not a problem even though he’s beginning to tire, and with his opponent in a powerbomb position BK runs at the ropes. He steps up on to one of the chairs that Jake has prepared for extra height; AK is struggling and tries to punch her way free, but she lacks the raw power needed-
The crowd goes nuts as AK gets bombed through the wire and plywood with a sickening smash, and the “Holy SHIT!” chants are broken out as BK almost topples sideways off the chair from the effort of the move. Even as he does so, Jake is trying to seal the match by performing a staggering Senton off of the top turnbuckle; but the impact to the board has left a mess of splintered board and wire, and though Jake connects, when his motion causes him to roll off he lands in the same nightmare tangle and thrashes in pain. Worryingly, AK doesn’t seem to be moving hardly at all…
There’s barely time for any of this to even register, however, because in the ring even more is going on; the cameras swivel around and the shot snaps back to show Rattlesnake making a pin on Kudo, his recovery and fresh attack somehow lost in the general melee. It’s a good job ref Makabe is on top of things, and the crowd counts along with him, 1….2- Kudo kicks out, and if he was wondering where his backup is, in the rear of the shot BK lurches backward as if he’s just been belted with a sledgehammer. Fortunately for him no weapon is involved, but it’s hardly as if his opponent needs one; bloodied, with a cut on the side of his head threatening to get serious at the next direct hit, Latino has come alive and is single-handedly taking the match by the scruff of the neck. He’s been unusually quiet in the last couple of weeks, but it’s eminently clear to the fans that he’s been saving all his “talking” for the ring. BK London has more guts than the entire rosters of some promotions, but that’s not enough in this situation as Latino unleashes all his pent-up frustrations and batters BK with enormous punches before nailing the Machete (powerbomb to Northern Lights Bomb). He drops and covers, 1…2…-
Edison: TWOOOOO! A crucial kick-out from BK there!
Latino’s anger just seems to grow; he shoves BK back down and tries again, but this time before the count can even start Kudo pulls him away; in the background Rattlesnake is down, and next to him lies Jake with a chair in hand. Ignoring all this for now, Latino rolls through to his feet and attacks Kudo without so much as drawing breath; the two freshest men in the match are now going head to head, and the fans urge Kudo on as he faces Latino’s full fury. Neither man will give so much as an inch, and there are almost too many kicks exchanged to be counted until, without warning, Kudo lands a mighty knee to the ribs at close range, and then hits one of the things the crowd’s waited all night to see.
McNally/Edison: BRAAAAINBUSTAAHH!!
It’s unusual for Max McNally to be so effervescent, but then this match is far from being run-of-the-mill. Kudo makes the cover, 1……2- and the crowd boos as Rattlesnake, now bruised and with blood seeping from a wound to his upper arm received in the table crash, drags his opponent away. And he’s got another “surprise”, one which Kudo doesn’t see coming until it’s too late…
Edison: Snakequaliser, SNAKEQUALISER!!
The meeting of bat and face is so brutal that the camera actually cuts away a millisecond or so before impact. When it does return, Kudo is laid out flat on his back, and little streams of scarlet are tracing their way from the centre of his forehead to either side; the fans are stunned and shocked, and they boo Rattlesnake like never before. Rattlesnake just holds up the bat, no smirk this time… things have gone way, way too far for that.
Edison: I thought nothing in this match would surprise me, Max, but…
McNally: But that’s Rattlesnake all over, Eddie, and he’s sending a message to everyone out there, that he is the person all the rest of the roster should be worried about. He promised he’d take control of this match and it looks like he fully intends to deliver on that.
It’s often hard to tell whether Rattlesnake is being genuine when he talks about respect, and some of the fans are now convinced that Snake was once again lying about having respect for Kudo. But as Snake makes the cover, others see a different story… they see a man who has understood that Kudo represents one of the biggest challenges he’ll ever face, and that he has to use every means available to him if he is to claim the victory he craves. Makabe counts the pin, 1…..2….-
McNally: Kickout by Kudo at the last gasp, and listen to these fans!

The crowd is indeed electrified as Kudo bursts out of the pin and leaps to his feet, one of his legendary adrenaline surges hitting without warning. Snake is on the ball and refuses to give ground, and Kudo opens up with a stream of strikes that would crush just about any one else. Snake, though, still has his snakequaliser, and he swings it back and forth to force Kudo back; Kudo, though, is getting more and more steamed, and when Rattlesnake makes a slight error Kudo grabs the shaft and pulls the bat away. He tosses it aside, and in the same movement delivers another spiral dropkick… but Snake just barely avoids it, and when Kudo lands on the mat Snake has no qualms at all about using the Snakebite before Kudo can spot and counter it. The crowd are stunned… but even as Snake is about to go for the cover, he is met by Jake, who despite being covered in cuts has set up his second chair and uses it to deliver the Shades of Helms (Shining Enziguri.)
Rattlesnake is caught off guard, and the crowd roars as Jake makes the pin, 1…..2- the pace of the match refuses to let up as Latino, who has taken his time to recover as fully as possible from the Brainbuster, pulls him clear. Jake is up at once and he battles bravely, holding Latino at bay as the two men try to batter one another down; Rattlesnake wants some payback, but as he is about to intervene the crowd goes bonkers as BK also thunders back into the match with a chair and strikes Rattlesnake across the back. Kudo is lucky not to get trampled in the chaos; with his adrenaline surge now waning the effects of the head shot make themselves felt and he rolls over to the side of the ring, trying to get his head together…
Edison: Kudo’s team needs him back, Max, but I don’t know if… oh no, just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse…
Quite by chance, the camera filming all the brawling in the ring catches in the background the moment when AK clutches at the ropes and pulls herself up to kneel on the apron. There are audible gasps from the people directly behind her; the barbed wire has done its wicked work, and the back of her top has been ripped almost to shreds, with slow-seeping blood having crept into the fabric so that it is now more red than white. She looks scarcely better from the front, and the deep cuts across her cheek and temple have run so that she has to wipe her right eye before she can see properly, drawing a vivid band of red across that side of her face.
Kudo is facing away from her as he attempts to get his bearings. As AK sees Latino hit Jake with the La Puta Driver and almost get a 3 count, she notices that Snake’s signature bat has rolled across the ring and is no more than two feet away from her. Instinctively she grabs it and rolls into the ring, woozily righting herself; the fans are now screaming blue murder, and desperately trying to warn Kudo about what’s going on. AK can see that Kudo’s taken a hell of a beating already, and one more carefully aimed strike would certainly take him out of the match. One blow, to pick up the win and finally put this whole thing to rest…
No one can tell if Kudo picks up on all the yelling, or rolls over by accident, but the critical fact is that he turns over, and sees AK there looking at him. Everyone knows Kudo is fast, but in his weakened state he stands little to no chance of moving in time, and he knows that better than anyone. The fans continue booing – the last thing they want is a cop-out end to the match.
AK isn’t certain whether she actually hesitates, or whether the moment just seems long in her mind… she blocks everything else out, and tries to do what she hasn’t done for a long, long time – stop thinking, reasoning, calculating, and simply let instinct tell her what to do. Though few would realize it, she no longer knows if she can trust herself… but the only way she will ever find out is to try, when it really matters.
She grips the bat as her muscles tighten up… and then lightly lets it go, rolling her wrist so that it travels away from her. Kudo’s gaze follows it; he doesn’t look back…
The first time that anyone else involved in the match becomes aware of what’s happening is when AK whips Kudo into BK in defence against a rushing elbow. Kudo knocks BK sideways; Rattlesnake, who has been locked in combat with him, is surprised by this turn of events but is not bothered in the least and swings a huge punch, only to miss when AK charges across and tackles Kudo clear at the last second. She drives Kudo back to the ropes, but Kudo slams on the brakes and lifts, going for a throw to the outside; AK twists and somehow lands on the apron instead, and Kudo turns at once to face her. Getting the same idea simultaneously, they both grab the top rope and jump up; the fans go apeshit as Kudo and AK springboard upward at exactly the same moment and clash in mid-air with spinning kicks. They are fortunate to fall to the inside of the ring, and even as they fall, on the opposite side of the ring Latino performs the Drunk’s Stumble on to Jake who is lying on the outside. The crowd yells out to Jake as Latino bundles him to the inside; he covers, but Jake kicks out at the 2 count and BK is there in support, pulling Latino off and then hitting a crowd-pleasing London-plex. BK pins, the count is made, 1…2- and this time AK is there for the save. BK jumps up at once; he swings at AK, who jumps back just enough to make him miss, and then engages in a stunning toe-to-toe fight that has the fans all standing and yelling BK on.
Edison: Watch these superstars go! You think the Clinton/Obama nomination race is going to be anything like this?
McNally: If it is, I’m asking the Senator to get us a whole sackload of pictures…

Although both are exhausted, AK finally makes a breakthrough by tricking BK into going for the Shades of Michaels; he misses, and turns around straight into a screaming EMP. Right as this happens, Jake connects on Latino with the Petrified (C4); the pins are simultaneous, Referee Makabe counts with both hands, one on either side… and Rattlesnake and Kudo make identical saves at the last second. The fans can’t take much more of this, and the whole arena seems to be reeling from the intensity of this epic (and by now there is no other word for it) battle.
Jake seems to snap; he slides out of the ring, dives underneath, and returns carrying his golden birdhouse. With a tear in his eye he swings it to clobber both Rattlesnake and Latino; as they stagger it shatters, and Jake is momentarily lost in his mourning for the end of a brief but beautiful dream…
There is no actual pause, but at that moment in time, the crowd is in no doubt that the match has delivered what it promised; everyone is bleeding from a whole encyclopedia of wounds, and not one person has been found lacking in the guts department. All that remains is to discover which side will claim the glory…
As with so many things, it’s one simple move which triggers off an avalanche of destruction. And BK is at the root of it; so close to being pinned by AK, he absolutely will not face the possibility of losing the match, and as AK rolls off of him and jumps up to face Kudo, BK scrambles to the nearest corner and with a smile loaded with intent, he slips out of the ring. AK is getting the worst of things with Kudo’s assault, but as she struggles to stay upright and Kudo moves to end things with the Yakuza Knee, AK turns her back to him and tries a desperation mule kick at a ludicrously high angle. She uses the opposite foot to Kudo and so the knee still connects, to the back of her head; both she and Kudo take a mighty hit and crash down…
Jake is in trouble, too; he is being double teamed by Latino and Snake, but as the team-mates hit him with a double suplex, Snake sees that Kudo is compromised, and his own ambition overtakes his team spirit. He moves in on Kudo and applies the constrictor; the fans roar at Kudo not to submit, and Kudo has to use every ounce of willpower to hold on…
Jake and Latino are also barely able to stand, and their battle teeters on a knife edge… but Latino gets the opening first, and performs the Three Shots. As he finishes the third, he is about to go to the corner for the Last Night’s Hangover – but then he sees something coming at him from the corner of his eye-
McNally: Wait! What’s this? London with a-
McNally is cut off as BK drives the sledgehammer into Latino’s gut; Latino gasps, and BK momentarily drops the hammer to deliver a crushing Revolver. Latino is taken down, and though he tries to rise again, BK hits him with the Shades of Michaels and Latino slumps. Seeing this, AK forces her exhausted limbs to respond; she rushes to his aid even though she is outnumbered with Jake struggling up. She needs Rattlesnake… but Snake either can’t see or won’t abandon his attempt to make Kudo submit. Kudo’s endurance is incredible; he claws at the mat, working himself up, and Rattlesnake has to use everything he has to hold on…
Edison: This is off the charts, Rattlesnake and Kudo giving it everything they’ve got! Can anything separate these two incredible athletes?!

BK sees AK coming and grabs the hammer, taking a swing at her. AK blocks it and holds on to the shaft; she and BK struggle to the centre, and as they are locked together, Jake runs in and jumps up on to AK’s shoulders, punching her in the head. AK can’t hold him up due to her tiredness and her legs start to buckle; but she sees one of the flattened chairs to one side and, in desperation, pitches forward to slam Jake face first into the metal. The SMACK makes the crowd wince and Jake is down, but AK is also barely able to move, let alone pin.
With sledgehammer in hand, BK stalks around behind Rattlesnake; the fans cheer, but some are less than impressed that the struggle between Snake and Kudo will be resolved by someone else’s actions. BK’s now battling against severe fatigue, however, and progress is slow; Kudo is close to freeing himself but Snake refuses to give up, even though he seems to suspect something is going on. As BK gets close, AK raises herself on one arm; she digs as deep as she ever has, and crawls to tumble out of the ring, moving around on lacerated hands and knees out of BK’s line of sight. Just as BK comes into range behind Rattlesnake, AK herself appears behind him; she gets up on the turnbuckle and now the noise is beyond thunderous…
Everything happens in the space of just a few seconds. As AK leaps to bring BK down, BK turns around and thrusts upward with his sledgehammer, striking AK in between the eyes. AK’s eyes glaze and a small cut from the wire is opened up to a nasty flow, but even as she hits the mat she rolls over and hooks BK’s foot, tripping him up. At that moment Kudo finally wins his battle and breaks free from Rattlesnake, and as Snake is pushed back BK recovers and moves to end the match with a second sledgehammer strike. Snake ducks as BK lashes out; his tiredness has taken its toll, but BK only scores a partial hit and it doesn’t knock Snake out. Snake rips the hammer from BK and drives it into his stomach; BK wheezes, and Snake throws the hammer aside as he goes for the kill. In utter desperation, BK launches a completely wild Shades of Michaels… and Snake slithers aside so that BK hits Kudo instead. Kudo flails backward, and Snake hits BK with the Snakebite, dropping him motionless to the mat; but this gives Kudo the chance he’s waited the entire match for, and the roof almost comes off as Kudo delivers his execution-style Yakuza Knee while Snake is kneeling from his own finisher.
McNally: That’s it, that HAS to be it!
Edison: Kudo comes through for his team, I always knew he would – wait, is he ok?
Kudo may have had the last word… but it’s cost him the very last of his reserves, and even as Snake hits the canvas, Kudo is on his way to join him, BK’s last blow taking its toll. The crowd momentarily quietens; everyone is down with varying grades of injury, and in any other circumstance referee Makabe would be able to call a halt. But Ginger’s orders are clear… there has to be a winner, there has to be a pin.
In the end, it’s hardly the most spectacular of endings… as Makabe is taking stock, Jake stirs, and, barely conscious of anything three feet or further from him, rolls over and drapes an arm over AK, who just happens to be the closest person to him. It’s debatable whether she’s even conscious, and she makes no attempt to break out as Makabe counts the 1, 2, 3.
There is a moment more of pause… and then the fans are all on their feet cheering and applauding as “Hero” fills the arena.
Philip: Here are your winners… Top Draw and Kudo Yasuda!
Jake takes a few moments or two to recognize that the music is his. He props himself up on one arm, and then sinks back down again, his body refusing to co-operate any further. Joey Reynolds is in the ring, and he and Keiji are hard pressed to prioritized their attention; Rattlesnake and Kudo aren’t moving at all, and the EMTs are summoned to try and sort the mess out.
Latino shakes himself into something resembling a waking state and drags himself over to AK, who is having a pad pressed to her badly bleeding forehead. She holds his hand for a moment to reassure him that he’s ok; across the ring, BK is refusing help to stand, but he is so physically drained that it looks as if he may have no say in the matter. He makes eye contact with Jake and gives him the thumbs up, before slipping back down to a sitting position…
There is no possibility of such a match having a neat conclusion, and so the show cuts to a break while the casualties are tended to.

Segment: Bitter And Then Some (Credit: Scott)
After his pep talk with Senator earlier it is clear that Scott is much more prepared at this point in time as he vigorously jumps rope in the Senatorial Locker room. Will Anger is taking swigs from a bottle of water in the background. Scott jumps a final time to finish warming up. He turns to Will.
Scott: Throw me one of those would ya’, Will?
Will: Sure, man.
Anger grabs a bottle from the fridge and tosses it to Andrews.
Scott: Cheers, mate.
He downs a good quarter of a bottle before setting it down on the table next to the couch.
Will: Good luck tonight, man.
Scott: Thanks. Hey I’ll catch you later, Will, I gotta vent some steam to the people. I’ll see you back here later on with the World Championship over my shoulder.
Will: OK, Scott, catch you later.
Scott leaves the locker room and scouts for the nearest camera man. He spots Kevin walking with his camera operator and immediately darts towards them.
Scott: KEVIN! WAIT!
Kevin turns to see Scott and instantly begins to keep walking.
Scott: Yo! Slow down!
Scott eventually catches up to the pair and stops them.
Scott: Do you mind if I use your camera for a sec?
Kevin: Why should I let you use it? You’ve been nothing but trouble for me. I want to be ACW’s head announcer and how can I do that if I’m kicked in the go-nads every interview I give you - - -
Scott: C’mooonnnnn…We’re buddies, right? I promise I won’t damage your package, Kevin.
Kevin: Well what do I get out of this?
Scott: T.V. time…Now come on get in place.
The camera man sets up and places it on a tripod. Kevin turns on his microphone and stands next to Scott in the corridor ready to get this underway.
Kevin: Are we rolling?...OK, good. Hello, ladies and gentlemen - - -
Scott snatches the microphone. I guess that’s something that’s stuck with him even through his transition.
Scott: And welcome to RAGNAROK!
The crowd in attendance cheer. Who wouldn’t be stoked to see this stuff live?
Scott: Tonight, Scott Andrews goes one-on-one against Chance Emmerson for the ACW World Championship, baby! And this is not your average match, oh no! It may seem like it on the outside, but there are far too many variables to consider. Like Senator being in my corner for instance. Or the likelihood of me smashing Chance’s face in with a good ol’ Head Shot!
Kevin: *Under his breathe* Why do I even bother…
Kevin starts walking away and motions to his camera man to follow.
Scott: If any of you saw what happened on Warfare, you’ll know exactly why I’m ready to obliterate, decimate, and annihilate Chance Emmerson tonight, and in turn bring home the World Title to the Stable! His actions were nothing short of cowardly. He took it upon himself to hurt a defenceless, beautiful young woman for the sake of what? Sending a message? DAMN IT I GOT THE MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR, JACKASS! You want to mess with me?! Fine. But when you mess with friends or family, boy, you are looking for an ass whooping courtesy of SCOTT FREAKIN’ ANDREWS!
The crowd pop.
Scott: So I’ll tell you what…ya’ got two choices. One: you can forfeit your match tonight and crown me the new World Champion, or Two: We do it the way I know we both want it. You meet me out there and we settle this like men. We settle this in the ring. We settle this tonight…
Scott leaves the frame, but with no camera man to stop it, the tape keeps rolling until the feed is eventually changed.
CUT.

Title: A Hive of Scum And Villainy (pt. 2) (Credit: Flamingo/Stark)
Long polished lanes, wooden spheroids flying up them to land in steadily shrinking rings of plastic with numbers above dark holes, the tickets churning out only for those with superioir hand-eye coordination.
"...What th'fuck are these things?"
"... skeeball. You take the balls, roll them down the lane, and try to get them to land in one of the holes after they come off of the ramp. Kinda kinky when you think about it, eh, Jonesy?" "Maybe in dat backwoods shag-yer-sister town you come from, y'cheeky monkey. Don't be blamin' me for not knowing what games ya yanks be playin' in these sixes-an-sevens places ya put yer kids."
He grabbed one of the wooden balls, popping a pair of quarters into the machine and giving it a try. He hurtled the wooden ball up the ramp and it went way high, it plunking and thudding down to the five-point whole. Which was accompanied by quite a loud and unmentionable string of obscenities to come out of the wideboy's mouth that'd of made Tony Montana blush.
Adrian was transfixed on what had just occured. Was he supposed to laugh or be scared or what? Adrian just reached up and patted the big man on the shoulder.
"Good effort, Jonesy."
"Erm..."
Jones simply shrugged, having come down off of his rather long-winded example on how to swear like an Englishman. A kid, nearby, seemed to gawk at him for a moment as if he were the devil himself. "I'm gonna tell my mommy what you just said!" said the child, and Jones' response was swift. He reached over and flipped the pre-teen's hat off and pulled down hard on his shirt's pocket, ripping it and leaving it hanging uselessly by its base before feigning another backhand and sending the kid off crying. He turned back and shrugged, adjusting his tie before clearing his throat.
"Ya know what they say, don'tcha Flamingo?"
"What do they say, Jonesy?"
He motioned for the cameraman and Adrian to come closer, looking over his shoulder before leaning in.
"'E's big... 'E's round..."
And suddenly, he'd broken into what could only be described as a modified drinking song, bursting up and surprising the bejeebles out of the two other listeners before heading off to get himself a slice of pie. And some pizza too, if plan A fell through.
"'E's worth a million pounds! 'E's Mistah Jones! Mistah Jooooones!" Adrian chuckled as he took a more direct route to getting his pizza... snatching a slice off the tray of a passing server.
"Well, ACW fans... I guess it's time for my catchphrase. When there's some crappy prizes to win and greasy pizza to eat... who ya gonna call, baby? That's right, ACW's favorite son, "Astonishing" Adrian Flaming.... oh... is that Whack-A-Mole!?"
Adrian walked off camera.
Fade.

Segment: One Lost, One Gained (Credit: Senator)
As the scene opens, the Senatorial Stable team for the five on five elimination match is seen near the entranceway in the back, minus Kevin Fitsharris. Suddenly, Mina von Pathos runs up to Anthony Kalb, out of breath, and looking a bit disheveled.
Mina: Anthony, come quick, it's Kevin!
Kalb: What? Please tell me he's not got himself into trouble again with his drinking...
Mina: I dunno, but he's not in good shape!
The Senator: What? Wyvern, Sean, you two wait here, Anthony, Mina, we need to get to the scene of the crime.
The three push a conglomerate of random backstage workers aside as they rush through the endless cooridoors of the ACW Arena, to find their fallen friend, the camera trying desparatly to keep up. Finally, they manage to get to a crowded area, with a gurney, several medics, and Will Anger all moving along in the opposite way. Phillips halts the group, with a concerned Mina going back to Fitsharris's side.
Senator: Ok, quick and concise, what happened here?
Medic: I don't know exactly, but someone seems to have taken a blunt object to your friend's head. He's been knocked out cold, and we're going to rush him to the local medical facility. Don't think it's major, but we have to make sure.
Kalb: Damn! He's got a match tonight!
Medic: No, he doesn't, not in this condition.
Senator: Fine, Will, Mina, you two accompiny him to the hospital.
Will: Yeah, sure, you want to make Will go away, I'll go away!
The medical procession continues down the hallway, and Anthony Kalb looks as if he recieved a bullet to the chest, with the startled look of panic on his face.
Kalb: But we need one last man! You just sent off the one last man who we could have entered in this match! Are you insane?
Senator: I would rather go a man short, than to possibly see a further attack on Fitsharris, or Miss Mina, for that matter.
Kalb: Come on, we can't...
??: Hey, you guys in a bit of trouble?
Senator: Excuse me, I know I have faced you before...Red, is it?
Red: Red's Only Fan, yeah. So I was going to say, I don't have a match tonight, and you're a guy short, so why not let me in on things here?
Kalb: You? Didn't you just debut last week on Fallout?
Red: I'm always looking for new opportunities, and this looks like a great one.
Senator: Consider yourself in. Now, we need to get to that ring, pronto...
Fade Out.

Match 6: Fallout 5 on 5 Match Team Stable vs. Team Hooligan (Wyvern[c], Senator Steve Philips, Sean Nichols, Anthony Kalb and Kevin Fitzharris vs. Pat McGroin, Ivor Biggin [co-captains], ??, ??,??) (Credit: Yoko/Senator)
A smashing success of a PPV so far, but the fans crave more still. And ACW plans to provide. Or in this case, ACW and Fallout plan to provide. The Ragnarok match is up next. As a small treat for the Fallout loyals, Iris Yoon enters the ring to introduce the competitors, rather than ACW’s Philip.
Maxwell McNally: Now, the ACW faithful might wonder just how this happened, how Fallout managed to get their people onto this show, and without causing any trouble. The truth is that after the commercial success that was Crossover, both companies realized that it was in their best interests to call a truce, and cooperate just a bit more again. And, as a part of that cooperation, I'd like to introduce to you a man who has been instrumental in those efforts, ACW and Fallout head trainer, "Textbook" Tim Dwight.
Tim Dwight: Thank you, Mr. McNally, I appreciate the warm welcome, and am thrilled to see the fruits of our collective efforts here in the ring. Now, a quick background on this match, the Royles have been on a reckless rampage throughout all of Fallout, randomly attacking a number of people, even putting Fallout's young standout from Texas, Stan H. Johnston out of comission. They, however, ran into the wrong man, with Sean Nichols, the Senatorial Stable came to his aid, and thus, this match was born.
"Fast" Eddie Edison: Oh, yeah, as much as you guys would like to catch up on old times, I want to hear this!
Iris: The next match is somewhat of a Ragnarok staple, the beloved traditional five on five elimination tag team match! Introducing first, Team Senatorial Stable, which is comprised of Wyvern, Sean Nichols, The Capitalists, and Senator Steve Phiiiiiillips!
Hail to the Chief begins to play, and while not every member on Team Stable is actually in the Senatorial Stable, unity is strength. And it shows, too, as all…four members come out? Wyvern grabs a microphone before entering the ring.
Wyvern: You may notice we’re a man short. Someone decided to try to even the odds, or something stupid like that. What they didn’t take into account is that we actually have friends who are willing to help us in times of need. Therefore, as team captain, I would like to officially introduce Kevin Fitsharris’ replacement, Mr. Red!
Reds Only Fan plays and sure enough, Red shows up, wearing his street clothes, and makes his way to the ring, proud to be helping out such legends.
Iris: And their opponents, Team Hooligans, which consists of The Royles and…umm…
Iris looks around at Team Stable but they just shrug.
Iris: …And I dunnooooo!
Edison: Beautiful! True professional ring annoucing there from Fallout's resident spaz!
McNally: Dare I suggest that the pot just called itself black...
Edison: Phillip would at least manage to read the card before the show! Then again, she IS a lot easier on the eyes, better than Phillip is, for sure...
The Royales come out as Have A Nice Day plays; they are alone, but they don’t seem at all worried. They circle the ring. Pat McGroin grabs a microphone and they return back to the ramp.
Pat: Ok, ok, so you managed to replace Fitsharris. But we didn’t NEED to even up the odds, we have team mates! Our first team mate is our on again off again buddy, the former ACW AND Fallout World Champion, Skurai!
Dwight: This is both logical, and rather interesting. Skurai teamed with the Royles on Fallout a week back, but he ended up walking away from the match before it was even over, leaving the two to fend for themselves. They apparently were desparate, though, and the three do have quite a bit in common.
No one is really too surprised to see Skurai helping out as he steps out of the entrance, though he’s still in his street clothes. He joins the two at the ramp.
Pat: And don’t think we didn’t get raw power. Our fourth member is the deadly Reaper!
Edison: Oh no! Not that monstrosity! Even looking at him from this distance makes me tremble with utter fear and loathing!
This one is a tad more shocking. The Reaper doesn’t seem like the type to help without a reason. But he comes out of the entrance, and Angelus Kincaid is trailing behind him, and they join the other three on the ramp.
Pat: Angelus would be a lovely asset to the team, but he’s only here for moral support. Our fifth and final member is…well, dynamite in human form.
McNally: This could be potentially dangerou...speaking of which, Eddie, take it easy there, we got a long show to do tonight, so do restrain yourself on your famous phrase.
T.N.T. by AC/DC plays, and…that theme is familiar to everyone, but it’s from the past. And now it’s in the present. Shocking everyone, former ACW near-grandslammer TNT comes out. The Royales just smirk at the other team. They step up on the apron, taking their places, while Angelus stays at ringside.
Edison: Oh wow! It looks like ACW's got one last ace in the hole for the Royles! The Stable better prepare themselves for the most arrogant man ever to step foot in our locker room!
Team Stable and Team Hooligans are now constructed in full and the match is ready. Pat McGroin seems to be starting it out, so Team Stable sends in Nichols.
*Bell Rings*
