County Stadium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

PREVIOUSLY...Winters nearly bit off far more than he could possibly chew last week, as he ruffled the feathers of far too many wrestlers last week on Courage. A week had passed were there had been little activity in ACW. No house shows, no signings, no special dates...nothing. However, as the wrestlers slowly filter into the arena tonight, many thoughts fill their head as they wonder just how long they can take the blind running of this federation, by Ethan Winters.

Tough Words



Tonight had all the ingredients for the making of a really good "wrestling" show, which was something that many a federation owner had forgotten about in recent times, but it seemed that Winters at least knew what these people had came here to see tonight. The only problem that Winters might have tonight, are those wrestlers whom he booked.

Many a threat had floated around ACW recently, with the biggest one being that the wrestlers are becoming fed up with their bosses' attitude to them, and their work. There was only so much that they could take, and Winters was walking a very thin line as he stood in the middle of the ring as Courage opened to the viewing public back home.

One thing about Winters was that to the fans, he was never a hate figure...not yet anyway. He had done things that would make him seem like a hate figure in any other federation, but these people knew what he had done for ACW, so maybe they were going a little lenient on him so far in his short time as Owner.

"Today's wrestling industry is a fickle, fickle business. With the wrestling industry hitting it's lowest point in many a year, things have to be done to make sure that federations, such as ACW, stay a float, even though they are being brushed aside by the bigger fish in the pond, if you know what I mean.

Many outsiders in this business say that I'm too ruthless to run a federation such as this, if wrestlers mess me around, then I fire them, it's the way I've always worked in any business that I have been a part of. Although, I have learned that firing people isn't always the best option, punishment has to be thought about for wrestlers who seem to think that I am some sort of nobody who they can mess around with.

Next Sunday, will be our THIRD PPV event, and I have to say I'm quite excited about what kind of matches you will be seeing at the event. At End Game, you will see all the titles being put up for grabs, even the Vacant US Title, which was dropped when ERA decided to mess me about like a few others have done in the past.

We are also looking for our biggest buy rate for a PPV ever, so please, none of this black box, pirate rubbish, help myself and the wrestlers out by buying the PPV, which will surely be worth it. But, I have just a small warning for all the wrestlers...I have people knocking at the door every day who want a chance to be in ACW, but frankly I don't need them at the moment, unless tonight's and next week's shows are no hopers.

If you don't perform to my standard, you will not be paid.

If you don't show up through injury, you will not be paid.

If you talk to me in a tone that I don't like, you will not be paid.

In other words, don't piss me about, or you will not be paid!"

The words that will start the war?

Closer Part One



The night is only beginning as the fans still await much to come on Courage. 

The scene heads into the parking lot where a silver BMW Z8 is seen arriving at the arena. The car is parked and the headlights turn off, to show a clear sight on the screen of Jay Smash sitting in his car for a few seconds as he looks down at his injured leg. Jay Smash opens the door and exits his car, then makes his way to the doors of the arena. A security guard stops Jay Smash before entering and raises a piece of paper up from his hand.

"What's your name sir?"

"It's Jay Smash man, don't you watch the show?"

"I'm sorry sir, but you are not on the list."

"Oh well it's probably there unless it's just the guys on the card there."

"Jay Smash....Jay Smash....nope, you're not here, you will have to leave or buy a ticket."

"I'm not gonna leave or buy a ticket. I'm in the ACW. Look, you see this injury, I got this fucked up leg in a match, and I need to get into this arena....Ok, you know what, fine, why don't you just check one more time, please."

"Ok, but I didn't see you on...."

Jay Smash pushes the piece of paper up to the guards face, then knees him in the abdomen, taking him down to his knees. Jay Smash chops the guard in the back of the neck, dropping the guard to the cold concrete. When the guard hits the ground, Jay Smash enters the arena and heads passed a few staff members waving and saying "hi". 

Jay Smash is then stopped by Ralph, who seems to be following Jay Smash everywhere.

"Oh, there you are. Come on, I have been waiting for you."

"Ralph, what are you doing? Listen, I don't want to be in any commercials, in any movies, in any hospitals or malls with you, or this arena. I have an injured leg, and I just had to kick some security guards ass just to enter the arena tonight. I just want to enjoy watching the event tonight since I don't have anything else to do. Is that ok or do I have to knock you to the ground until every drop of blood in your body decides to drip down from a hole in your skull?"

"Right....well anyways, come on Jay, lets go."

Ralph grabs Jay Smash by the wrist and leads the way into Jay's locker room where a bunch of people he has never seen before yell "Surprise!" then sing Happy Birthday to Jay Smash.

"Ralph, what the hell is this?"

"It's a party for you."

"My birthday isn't until February."

"They don't know that."

"I'm outta here."

"Wait, ummmm....For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good feeeeelllllooooowwww, which no...."

Jay Smash slams the door shut, leaving the locker room, then makes his way down the hall, when three ladies bump into him.

"Well hello. Are you Jay Smash?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"We are three hot women that thought you needed to have a good time."

"Did Ralph put you up to this? Listen, I'm married."

"That's ok, we are too."

"Really? Your husband's must be proud."

"Oh, they are...."

"Come on Jay Smash, come with us."

"Yeah Jay Smash, show us what you got."

"Actually... I think I have an idea."

Jay Smash and the three ladies head down the hall as the camera leaves the scene...

Magick is in the Air



The Big Screen lit up showing Geo Vacton walking into the arena. The crowd gave out a surprising amount of ovation as Vacton stepped through a hallway where he was met by someone who's face could not be seen at the current angle.

"Vacton, I gotta talk to you."

"Sure, what's up?" Vacton asked, almost happy to have seen him.

"It's.. It's about Perry. He's uhm.." The man thought for a second. "He's, uh, well, he's.. He's gone mad, Vacton. He's gone insane. I'd stay away from him."

"Yeah.. I know.."

"He ain't safe! You gotta stay away from him, I know you two got a bit of a feud going here, but it's in your best interest to run, to hide. J-j-just for a while, guy. You don't wanna end up dead 'cos of this nut."

"Magick.."

The camera angle changed rather quickly to show the identity of who Geo just called Magick. The crowd cheered at the sight of Magick Man, the best damn wrestler/magician in the business. The manager of Mr. Haunt and Zotan of Griblefritz, both of 21w fame, and the former manager of Geo Vacton himself. 

"No, Geo. I've met some nuts before in my day, you know that. But this guy is off the wall, he tried crucifying himself for goodness sake! My other guys wouldn't even do that!"

"Magick, I appreciate the concern. I really, really do. You've never done me wrong, but this Perry, sure, he's a nut, but not in the way you're thinking.  He's doing a show! He wanted the attention, and he's getting it. I don't even have a match tonight, I'm just here for publicity. As far as I know, I wont even be near Perry tonight. I know I ain't done a lot of intelligent things, and I probably haven't made too many good decisions, but you gotta trust me on this one, just a little bit."

"Geo.. I hope you're right, I really do. You're a good kid... Look, I'll be looking out for you tonight..." Just as Magick Man said this his cell phone rang. "Oh, Jesus, Two seconds, Geo, two seconds!" Magick walked into a corner and flipped open his phone.

"Heeeyyy, Magick Man here! Best damn wrestling promoter and magician in the business! Whatta ya need?"

Vacton shook his head, he knew it would be a while and that Magick Man wouldn't be returning when the call was over.

Arrival



As the lights shine on the city of Milwaukee advertising the showing of Courage even more than the posters and commercials, a dark green BMW M3 pulls into the parking lot of the County Stadium. The tinted windows don’t allow the driver to be visibly seen, as the car speeds past the hordes of fans at the front door. 

Security has collected at the back gates, and the driver cracks the window, flashing the admittance pass, then speeds through, parking in a reserved parking spot at the back of the building. The engine of the BMW is cut, and out steps a leg of none other than Jade Greene. 

As Jade walks around her car and grabs her bag from the trunk, she is quickly approached by a female interviewer, who shoves a microphone in her face.

"Jade...Jade, where is Jason Kain tonight? Don’t you two usually show up together?"

Jade looked the interviewer up and down, raising an eyebrow and throwing the bag over her shoulder.

"Yeah, well, Jae had some things he had to take care of, before our match this evening..."

"How do you think you’ll make out against Dante Inferno and Scott Perry tonight?"

Jade sighed and laughed at the interviewer, shaking her head back and forth.

"I have all the confidence in the world, that Jason and myself will be successful at our task at hand. Dante and Perry won’t know what hit them...now if you don’t mind, like Jason, I, myself have things to prepare for..."

With that, Jade closed the trunk of her car, clicked on the alarm and walked away from the interviewer, heading through the back door and letting it slam behind her.

The Search For Something New



The last few weeks had gone pretty well for the collective members of Winters Inc…  Dante Inferno… the major owner of ACW, Ethan Winters and the former ACW world champion, Osyrus as the scene opened in a quiet office. 

The camera panned around it’s surroundings with all three men present in the room as Winters shuffled through stacks of files in a repetitive fashion. He glanced over a file, a slight smile would form but only to go away as Ethan crumpled up the piece of paper and threw it near the trash can.  

Dante and Osyrus began to grow restless as the duo shook their heads in disbelief as another paper hit the ground. Maybe the apps might have made it in the trash can if Winters had the athletic ability necessary to be able to make a basket…

But he didn’t.

"Damn it!” Ethan yelled out as he threw the another file, this time at the door in anger.

“Out all these damn applications that were sent to me…none of these guys are good enough to be on the ACW roster. What in the hell am I going to do?” Winters said as he pushed the remaining documents on the floor, obviously giving up on his search for new talent. 

“You need to calm down first off… everything will work out in the end, as it always does.” The familiar voice of Osyrus was heard as the camera panned in his direction. 

He picked a file off of the floor and started to roll it up into a ball with his massive hands…

“We have got to find new, interesting talent rather than those guys who are just out to be on the roster as Osyrus wannabes. That’s why there is hardly anyone in ACW that can compete with the likes of Winters Inc.

They say that they are the next big thing or superstars that should be at the top of their league…but in the end, turn out to be nothing but phonies. Nothing more than jobbers that should be under the bottom of my boot…like the cockroaches they are! And the fans wonder why Winters Inc is the most dominate stable in wrestling today. IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE NO EQUAL IN THAT RING! Isn’t that right Dante?!”  

Osyrus shoots the ball as it sinks to the bottom of the trash can.

“Show off.”

The ACW owner replies as he stands up of his chair, walking around his nice wood finish desk as he makes his way to the door. Ethan steps over the files on the floor as Dante and Osyrus look in his direction.

“Where are you headed?” The cold and chilling voice of Inferno was heard as he slightly raised his head up in Ethan’s direction. He rubbed on the scars on his face as Winters replied back with a simple… 

“To re-access my talent pool.”

Winters grasped the door knob as the door slowly opened as he turned back to Osyrus and Dante.

“I need to think about some of the people I have working for me and if I should really be paying them for their lacking effort. I am not going to waste even a cent on a guy that is not pulling his weight around here in ACW…”

“it about time you showed more of your cruel side in ACW.” The former champ chimed in as Winters closed the door for some odd reason. “Even though the House shows went well last week and you gave me the week off as well. 

We need to make an example of someone to show everyone that we mean business when it comes to the elevation of All-Star Championship Wrestling! Who do you think it should be?” Osyrus asking his fellow Winters Inc. members in a sarcastic tone of voice as all three men chuckled a bit.  

“I gave you the week off last week?” A confused owner fired back as Osyrus just smiled back sinisterly.

“Yeah you did and that week was well spent.”  Ethan just shrugged his shoulders and smiled politely, going back to his desk as he picked up his cell phone under all the clutter.

“But enough about last week… we need to focus on the present and the continually demise of SilverHAWK.”  Osyrus’ smile turn to a pissed off scowl as he got up from his chair… as did Dante seconds later.

“The longer he has my title, the faster ACW goes down the damn gutter. Come on Ethan, we need get rid of Hawk once and for…” Osyrus stopped in mid-sentence as Winters held his arm up in a stop position.

“Don’t worry O, tonight I have the solution for the SilverHawk problem… And at the pay per view, I know without a shadow of a doubt that you will be world champion again.”

“That’s music to my ears Ethan…music to my ears.” Osyrus smiled returned again as all three men exited the office as Dante closed the door behind him.    

Branson Blair Vs. ICU

    

As the pictures came back from a commercial break, Branson Blair stood inside the ring as he awaited his opponent for the night. What happened next was something that probably nobody in the arena, even ICU would have seen coming. As the TV Champion brushed past the backstage curtain, he was greeted with...silence.

No boos

No chucking of beer cups

No profanity being screamed at him

Nothing

ICU stopped for a moment to take it in...and then continued down to the ring, a small grin appearing on his face as he dragged the TV title over to the ring before rolling in, throwing it in the referee's face and then faced Blair who was standing in the middle of the ring. Blair looked ICU up and down in an act of sheer cockiness, which instantly set ICU off as he nearly beheaded Blair with a clothesline.

Blair got up straight away, but maybe too quickly, as he walked straight into another clothesline which sent him down to the mat once again, but this time he was aware enough to roll out of the ring and collect himself on the outside.

ICU moved over to Blair, but as he stepped closer to the ropes, Blair grabbed his legs from under him and pulled him to the outside, attacking him with boots to the chest as ICU met the matted floor with a harsh bump. Blair picked up the TV Champion and threw him into the side railing back first, and then began to punch ICU in the chest area, as ICU clammed his body up to absorb the impact.

As quick as a hiccup, ICU turned the tables, as he took Blair's head and thrust it towards the railing, to which Blair connected with some force as he rebounded back off the railing and backed up a few steps. ICU then hit him with a hard right hand and then pushed him back into the ring, to the referee's delight.

As ICU jumped back into the ring, Blair stamped on his back and then pulled him to his feet, whipping him to the ropes. ICU ducked the initial clothesline attempt by Blair, and then bounced off the other set of ropes, to which he flew off of with a flying clothesline which connected brilliantly with Blair, as both men tumbled to the mat. 

ICU bounced straight back up, and pulled Blair to his feet, before pushing him into the corner and smashing his mid-section with a knee and then two shoulder charges.

ICU then whipped Blair to the other side of the ring, but missed with his clothesline, as ICU turned around Blair kicked him in the gut, and whipped him up in the air with a gut-wrench, from which he covered the TV Champion afterwards.

1...

2...

Kickout.

it wasn't even close.

Blair tried to keep his momentum going, he picked up ICU and whipped him to the ropes, after a leap frog by Blair, he looked to monkey flip ICU over his head, but ICU had read the situation, he stopped just before meeting Blair, and kicked Blair in the chest before then adding a little ICU touch to the match as he hit Blair with the Depression, a very...very hard clothesline, which sent Blair almost into a somersault.

The crowd winced as Blair lay on the mat holding his head, making sure everything was where it should have been, but before he knew it, ICU was on him again. ICU mounted Blair and became to punch him in the forehead, causing Blair to try and break himself free by squirming...he did so and got free and he pushed ICU off of him, but as Blair got up, he was still a little bit dizzy and as he fell onto the ropes, it gave ICU the perfect excuse to smash him over the top rope, which he did so with another clothesline.

Blair toppled over the top rope and slammed down hard on the padded floor, as the fans nearby took their photo's, Blair was trying to figure out where he was as the referee counted.

1...

5...

6...

Blair was on his feet, looking around as the referee was in his face, shouting numbers at him. Blair realized what was going on, and the proceeded to jump up on the ring apron to get back in the ring, but as he was standing there, ICU baseball slid right by Blair, which caused some confusion. 

Blair looked around for ICU, and then found him, as ICU poked his head through Blair's legs and proceeded to powerbomb him off the ring apron!

With a large bump, and just inches away from the commentary table, ICU powerbombed Blair to the mat with a sit down powerbomb, before he rose to his feet, and slid back into the ring. The referee shrugged and then started his count once again.

1...

2...

With that, ICU collected his TV Title, walking over Blair's broken body as he walked to the back, a job well done.

Next destination.

End Game.

Winner: ICU

Reminisce



"It looks like you spend more time out of the ring than in it these days HAWK..."

HAWK sat on his locker room bench, empting his gym back as he looked up to the doorway with a small smirk on his face, as Dunn leaned again the doorway, smiling back at him.

"So how are things with the body HAWK, you've had two weeks to recover now."

"Things are OK Dunny, don't worry, I may be getting older, but I'm getting wiser too, you gotta remember that some day. This cat is getting wiser by the day, and I'm getting too wise to know that something's up with this match tonight, and I still don't know what's happening next week."

Dunn sighed as he stepped away from the doorway and sat across from his long time friend.

"Neither do I HAWK, Winters hasn't kept us in the loop about Osyrus or you, and I don't know why ToK is there either. Maybe he is just looking for someone who can mess you up before the match?"

"So he picked ToK? A guy he doesn't really know about, another educated decision my Mr. Winters I see...Gonz hasn't even arrived yet, which is un-usual for him to say the least. I don't know Dunny, something doesn't smell right, and Boyd isn't even here."

"I'll tell him you said that."

"You do that."

As the two men laughed, the door shut quietly, it was like the old days...

Arrival Pt 2



Dropping the bag on the floor in their dressing room, Jade waited patiently for Jason to arrive at the Stadium. She had been waiting almost twenty minutes, as she checked her watch again, for the millionth time. He had told her he’d be there before the first match, but it was quickly approaching, and there was still no sign of him. Jade was beginning to worry.

Pacing back and forth, she folded her arms over her tank top. She had begun to get dressed in her wrestling gear, but had only succeeded at accomplishing half the task, and walked around in her shirt and matching green panties.

Grabbing her dark green cargos from her duffle bag on the floor, she shook the wrinkles out of them and pulled them up over her hips, zipping the sides of them and doing up the Velcro to fasten them to her body. She grabbed her large 'JADE' hoodie and threw it on while she waited.

Slumping down on the couch, again she folded her arms. She checked her watch, and stared at the television in front of her, still with no sign of Jason Kain.

Emotions



Dante wrapped torn cloth over his hands as he prepared for the fight this evening.

He had no other words to describe what was going to happen this evening, for one thing, it would be no wrestling match, it would be a straight fight. He was never one to let his emotions run wild on him, usually, he was a calm and cool character whom could never be touched by anyone, or anything.

But Kain had got inside of him, inside of him so much that Dante didn't care about the winning tonight. He was undefeated in ACW, but that was nothing to him, he didn't care anymore.

"What is the point of being invincible when you have nothing to show for it" was something that you would regularly hear him say. He didn't even care about Scott Perry, who was he to get in his business? Did Winters think that Dante wasn't strong enough to take on both of them? Questions fluttered through his mind as he collected the last piece of cloth and tape and wrapped it around his fist's.

As he looked in the mirror, he caught a glimpse of the man he now was.

Trembling.

Weak.

Tired.

Angry.

All of these emotions pent up inside of him like 1000 birds in a cage, trying to be set free, but only one emotion embroiled his blood as he looked in the mirror and looked down upon the sign of Jesus Christ that bore his chest.

Retribution.

457 W. 3rd Street. 
Come in, all are welcome.



“I hope you’re getting all of this…”

The security camera in the police car turned as an all-too-close-to-the-camera Dante Inferno gets into focus. There’s a bruise on the side of his head from a nightstick, probably what put him out during the ride. Jade and Jason Kain looked down at Dante, while handcuffing him to a statue… but none of which were in screen at the time.

“Jade, I told you to pray for him.”

“I… I didn’t know what you meant… I thought you were going to kill him or something.”

“Thou shall not murder, right?” Kain shook his head. “Well, where he is now… No one knows he’s here. So he’d better start learning how to pray, maybe he’ll realize that he’s crossed the wrong person. Hey… Dante… You’d better learn. C’mon Jade, let’s go.”

The camera is left on the floor, finally showing where they left Dante… Our Mother of the Sacred Heart. Handcuffed to the statue of Jesus Christ.

Static.

---------------------

The camera focused on a mirror. In the mirror was a very close-up view of a cross-shaped wound. The camera pulled back as Jason Kain looked over his shoulder at the apparent scarring of the wound. He looked away from it and shuddered. He walked out of the room as the camera refocused on the mirror, showing the door closing.

Arrangements



Scott Perry sat in his small closet of a locker room; it was dark and looked damp. Scott’s face was one of contemplation. He rubbed the palm of his hand, pain seethed through it. At his feet lay a bible, a slash went throughout the book, a knife had been driven through this book prior to tonight.

Scott grunted; he began to mutter to himself.

“Hmph… Stuck in a little tag match with some pathetic jobbers. How dare
these mere mortals insult my power and intelligence by sticking me against a female. A woman and Jason Kain. And to think, they have the nerve to team me up with Mr. Dante Inferno. Such losers. I shall show these…”

His twittering was interrupted, as there was a knocking at his locker room door. His head snapped, his talking stopped and he fell to a silence. A cold sweat forced him to shiver. Fear filled up his body, he was afraid of what was at the other side of the door.

”Mister Perry?” A female voice bellowed through the door. Scott’s fear subsided; he did not fear the female gender. After all, they are so weak and feeble.

“Enter.” He replied confidently.

A short brunette woman wearing a headset an grasping at a clipboard peeped in, she had a message for Scott, a message that, later, would prove to be the most important message of Scott Perry’s life…

“Scott, Mr. Winters would like to see you in his office as soon as possible.”

“Whatever.” Scott grunted. He continued, “Now be gone.”

The woman looked offended, not that this would ever bother Scott Perry. She turned abruptly and left.

Reunion



As ICU walked to the back, through tunnels of direction tape and wires, he finally got back into the main backstage lobby, where he walked over to the water dispenser and collected a cup of water for himself, drinking half of it's contents and then pouring the rest over his head, soaking himself and his TV Title. 

Suddenly, a towel was thrown at him, to which he caught and then looked to see were it had come from.

"Good job Ivan."

ICU's eye's widened as he and the ACW World Champion stood face to face, a huge reaction coming from the capacity crowd in the arena. These two had history, and the fans knew it, what was more apparent was there respect for one another...as the shared the same piece of floor on the arena.

"That was one hell of a move you did there, nice work."

"Thanks. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to show you it...first hand."

HAWK smiled, a small smirk coming from ICU too, as the tension was beginning to release.

"Listen, I ain't here to bust your balls or anything, I just want to know a few things about one half of the team I'm facing tonight...ToK, you've had some dealing's with him, correct?"

"I only know that he is a cowardly piece of shit...other than that, I can't help you that much."

"Mmmmm, well he's been paired with Osyrus tonight for some reason, I just think that there is a little more to it than just shoddy booking."

"Hey, HAWK, let's get one thing straight, in this joint, never overlook the shoddy booking."

"Yeah, Winters doesn't know his ass from his elbow...well, I better go and get prepared. See you around Ivan..."

"Definitely..."

Dante Inferno & Scott Perry Vs. Jason Kain & Jade

 

As C & C Music Factory's "Things that make you go Hmm.." began to play on the arena system, the fan's groaned as Scott Perry entered the fray, paranoia driven as he walked down the ramp, looking over his shoulder constantly as he made his way up the ring steps and into the ring. He didn't even notice the crowd as he watched the top of the stage for his "partner", Dante Inferno.

As Inferno entered the scene, fans at either side of the barrier shouted at him, taunting him with necklaces that bore the crucifix, he was unharmed as he walked into the ring to confront Perry.

"I nor want, nor need you here...so do as I say and not as I do..."

With that he walked past Perry, who was left confused as hell to what he was supposed to do in the match.

'El Distortio De Musica' by Everclear played, as the fans rose to their feet as the former uKw star, and his girlfriend Jade hit the scene to a decent reception from the crowd. As Kain and Jade made their way to the ring, Dante paced up and down the ring shaking his fists, as Kain stopped at the edge of the ring and took a deep breath. He had pissed off a giant, and he knew that he was going to get hit back for what he did, but that was the whole point, was it not?

Jade and Kain jumped onto the ring apron, and both of them entered the ring steadily, waiting for Inferno to pounce, but he never did. Instead, he tapped Perry on the back, and then stepped to the outside, leaving Perry to open the match to his disbelief.

Jade started on the other side, the bell rang, Perry looked back at Dante, and Dante wasn't even looking, but as he turned towards Jade, he was flattened with a hard clothesline which sent him reeling back into the corner. Jade began to stomp on Perry as he was in the corner, but she couldn't take her eyes off Dante, who stood on the ring steps, staring at her through the whole ordeal, he didn't move an inch.

Jade, picked Perry up and whipped him to her corner, where Kain held onto Perry as Jade hit him with a running dropkick in the stomach, on the corner. Jade tagged in Kain, receiving a small pop from the crowd as he got in the ring and began to hit Perry with some hard right hands, and then some chops to the chest. 

Kain took Perry to the middle of the ropes and then whipped him to the other side, then planting him down to the mat with a drop toe hold, before bouncing off the ropes and plating a hard elbow drop to Perry's back, leaving him reeling in pain.

Kain got to his feet, and did so while pulling Perry to his. He kicked him in the gut and then battered him down to the canvas with a ddt, before jumping up to the second rope. He awaited Perry to get to his feet and then tried a dropkick, to which Perry side stepped and then helped Kain meet the floor, as he pushed him down as he sidestepped the bullet.

Perry kicked Kain in the back, before taking his right leg, and smashing it off the canvas, Kain's limb bouncing off the mat.

Perry got to his feet, and looked for the tag, but Dante still stood on the ring steps, motionless.

Perry shook his head and then watched as Kain flung a clothesline at his direction, he wasn't going to fall for that one again. He ducked and then shook his head, pointing to his head as if he was smarter than Kain this time, but as he turned Kain hit him with a superkick which nearly sent his teeth flying into row one. Kain looked over at Dante, who stared back, smiling, Dante knew that he was winning. As Kain kept looking over at him as he moved over to Perry.

As Jade asked the referee about Dante, Perry hit Kain with a low blow. Kain fell to the mat clutching his privates, as Perry got him, feeling his jaw and moving it 3 inches to the left, back to it's correct position. 

Perry picked Kain up, and hit him with a stinging right hand to the jaw, which sent Kain reeling to the ropes. Perry took his arm and whipped him to the other side of the ropes and then looked to knee Kain.

But Kain rolled over his knee.

1...

2...

Kickout.

Perry quickly got to his feet and kicked Kain in the head as he was getting to his. Perry once again looked for the tag, but this time, Dante shook his head at him.

"Fucking hell..." Perry sighed as he went back to work.

Perry moved over to Kain and picked him up, before slamming him to the mat with a power slam and then pointed to the top rope, as he was looking for his patented finishing move.

Perry climbed to the top rope, and looked for the 450 splash, but just as he was about to set off, Jade shook the ropes which sent him off balance as he fell into the top rope, squashing the little general. As Jade went back to her place, screams could he heard, as Dante had moved off of the ring steps, and was scurrying around under the ring. None of the competitors seemed to notice as Dante pulled a steel chair from under the ring.

He jumped in the ring, and went for Jade straight away, but his swing missed as Jade dropped off the ring apron at just the right time. Dante then turned around only to have Kain dropkick the chair in his face, which sent Dante reeling back to the ropes, where Jade got a grip of his legs and yanked them back, as Dante hit the mat face first.

As Jade climbed in the ring however, Perry jumped off the top rope and hit them both with a flying clothesline, it was pandemonium in the ring. Perry got to his feet and turned around, and bumped straight into Dante Inferno.

"Leave."

Perry got the message and jumped out of the ring, standing outside of the ring to watch the rest of the action. Kain was the first up, and he was given a massive boot to the stomach and then the hardest powerbomb you have ever seen in your life. Dante whipped the little 5'9'' star up and shot him down as fast as possible, as he bounced off the canvas. Next was Jade, as she was up and holding onto the ropes, Dante headed straight for her, but as Jade ducked Dante, and pulled the top rope downwards, Dante went over the top rope.

Jade got to her feet, but suddenly, her hair was dragged backwards, and in one swift motion, she was thrown down to the mat, and the back of her head connected with the steel chair that Dante had brought into the ring. Dante stood on the ring apron, looking at the mayhem, and then down at Scott Perry. 

The referee didn't know what to do, and neither did Perry.

Dante however, jumped down from the ring apron, and pulled Jade out of the ring. 

She was out cold. 

He slung her over his shoulder, and began to walk to the back, a chorus of boo's going around the arena as Perry stood in bewilderment. 

Kain lay in the ring, not knowing the full extent of what had happened.

He lay, slain, unbeknownst that his love had been kidnapped, by the man whom wanted retribution, upon him

Winner: No Contest

Closer Part Two



The camera now takes place once again backstage with Jay Smash and the three lovely ladies all sitting down together. Jay Smash has his arms around two of the women and the third is behind Jay Smash lying on a table, playing with her hair. Right before Jay Smash and one of the ladies make contact to kiss, Joey Sellers walks over with a mic. Jay Smash turns his head to Joey Sellers, then stands up.

"Bad timing?"

"Yeah, you can say that."

"Well I was hoping to get a short interview with you right here."

"Yeah sure, it's the best place to have one, right here, backstage of the County Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!"

The cheap pop makes everyone begin to cheer in the whole arena, then as the cheering slowly fades away, Joey Sellers begins to speak

"Jay Smash, first off, I think everyone wants to know, who is Ralph, and what is with all these strange things he is doing to you?"

"You ant to know the whole story about Ralph? You see, it all starting about two weeks ago when I bumped into this guy on the street, talking on his cell phone about big movie deals to someone. I was guessing he was a director and trying to get someone to be in a movie so I decided to talk to him. 

He found out that I was Jay Smash, the ACW superstar, and I guess he thought that since I was so nice and becoming a big superstar, that he would help me out, and get what he wanted in the first place; money. Money was rolling in for him all because he secretly slid me into some commercials and some alien movie. Now he wants to be my friend, and my manager, and I actually do have to thank him for giving me these ladies. You'll see that later on, I promise you."

"Isn't that so unfortunate for you two to bump into each other. And since you brought this up, you certainly do seem to becoming a big superstar here, as all that comes down to the US title match between you and Geo Vacton. What are your feelings about this?"

"Sellers, to tell you the truth, I have no idea what my feelings are about that match, because I'm not really even sure when it is. The PPV? Before, after the PPV? But whenever it is going to be, I want to let Geo Vacton know that he is just like everyone else that steps into the ring with the Big Jay. 

He obviously has the skills so get far in this business, seeing that he is fighting for the US title, but I'll prove to him why he is not strong enough, good enough, and extreme enough, to beat the new disease. And if there is one thing I know about these fans, it is that they want a kick ass, tough son of a bitch, who will lay the Smashdown, holding the United States championship. 

As you can see, I'm the perfect guy to hold that title. So Vacton, just remember where you stand, when that match begins, and you remember where you lie, when it's over. Why? Cause it's my time, it's smashing time!"

"Thanks you Mr. Smash, and I hope you have a good time with your fiends here."

"Yeah....sure, friends. Bye Sellers."

Jay Smash and the three ladies walk off through the backstage area as the scene ends

Just a Little Trip



Kain is seen running through the corridors backstage, searching diligently for Dante. He stops next to a worker and glares at him for a second before asking.

“Where did Inferno go!?”

The worker pointed to the parking lot, and Kain ran as fast as he could. Just as he opened the door the camera turned showing a car leaving the arena. Kain stopped and yelled angrily, then ran towards his own red hummer, but the hood was engulfed in flames. 

Kain grabbed a fire extinguisher, putting out the fire before the camera got close. But as the camera changed its focus, the paint bubbled up and turned black. 

On the hood of his car, stood the anti-Christ cross. 

Burned. 

The camera turned back to Kain, whose face showed more anger than ever before. 

Then it faded out...

A “Get together”



Everyday is a battle

That quote had began to describe HAWK's life in four words recently. It had been like this for quiet a while, he had began to collect a mass of pill bottles in his bag. You could literally find hundreds of dollars worth of medication in his bag, but it had been this way for quiet a while.

HAWK sat in his locker room, almost ready for his match this evening. The door swung open, no knock, no courtesy...it could only have been one man.

Winters? nope, he was too scared to come into HAWK's dressing room now a days.

"Gonz, ever heard of a knocking?"

"Hey, I knock up loads of people..."

wink

wink

"Please..."

"C'mon HAWK, lighten up, The Gonz has his first Main Event Ever! You should be happy for me man."

it was true, Jimmy Gonz had been in the ACW for 5 years, and he had never been in the Main Event. Jimmy was just never popular...he could never find that gimmick that would set him up for years to come. He often wondered how HAWK could have made it with relatively no gimmick, but then he got his answer one night in Utah, where he and HAWK went to sell photo's before an event. 500 people showed up at HAWK's table, because he was simply one of them, people could relate to HAWK.

Most of the time, Jimmy would be put in situations that he was placed in tonight. The extra man in a tag match, the third person in a Triple Threat. He was reliable, and somewhat talented, you would have a hard time to name 5 bad Jimmy Gonz matches, and that's what had kept him in ACW for so long.

"Gonz, c'mon, you've got loads of time to make it after this, this is a stepping stone for you man, I want you to enjoy

A “Get together”



Scott Perry sat on a plastic chair outside of Mr. Winters office, his right leg hooked over his left, his foot shook impatiently. Scott looked at his hand; a deep red scab was covering the wound which traveled straight through his hand to the other side. Scott turned his hand over; a matching dark red scab covered the wound. His hand shook vigorously; he was sweating profusely. Scott was afraid of going out and performing tonight, but he knew that he had to.

As Scott pondered ways to get out of his upcoming match the office door clicked and opened, Ethan Winters stepped in to the doorway, he smiled across at Scott.

”Scott!” He cheerfully exclaimed. “How’s the hand my friend?” A smile stretched from ear to ear across the face of the ACW majority owner.

Scott got to his feet; he looked at his hand before looking back at his boss.

”Fine.” Scott grunted. His lack of respect for this supposed “authority” and “father figure” shone through like a torch through tissue paper.

“Come on in Scott” Ethan said pointing inside his office. Scott walked past, his eyes not leaving Winters face. Ethan’s false smile failed to impress Scott Perry as he entered the office. He walked across and took a seat.

“Please, take a…” Ethan Winters realized at this stage Scott had already taken a seat, an invitation was no longer required, but feeling to ashamed to leave an unfinished sentence, he ended. “…Seat.”

Ethan walked around his desk and sat on his large executive chair. He rested his elbows on the desk and lent forward, transferring his weight on to the arms.

“Scott, I have something to ask you.”

“I already know.” Scott snapped back.

“You… already know?”

“I have the gift.”

Ethan hummed to himself.

“Okay then… So the answer is?”

“Ha ha ha. I don’t think so boss, you can ask me out loud for the world to hear first.”

Ethan stirred in his chair, he was uneasy with the strange ways of Scott Perry; he was almost regretting his decision.

“Okay then…” Ethan sighed as he straightened his spine. “Scott, myself and the members of Winters inc. have been looking at potential new members and we were wondering, me and the guys, if you would like to strike a deal with us and become the newest member of Winters inc.?” His speech concluded here.

“What’s in it for me?” Scott asked, naturally he wanted something in return; his greed was plain for all to see.

“How about we say protection from Geo Vacton?” Ethan said, he had been expecting this question and already had this answer lined up. Of course, those who line up in front of a firing line get shot down.

“I need no help from mortals to protect me from a mortal. What kind of moronic idea is that?”

“Hmm…” Ethan pondered a second response; he got an idea and opened his mouth to say it. There was no need.

“Agreed.”

“Great!” Ethan punched the air with a fist full of joy. He stood up.

“Well Scott, this concludes our meeting, welcome to Winters Inc.!”

“Yeah, alright, so I can leave now?”

“Well… Y-yeah…”

“Thanks.”

Scott pushed his chair back with enough force to topple it over as he got to his feet. Mr. Winters outstretched his arm expecting a handshake. Scott ignored the hand and turned to leave. Ethan Winters stroked his hair with the outreaching arm.

“S-See ya buddy.” Ethan said still attempting to get a nice word to escape from the lips of Scott Perry.

”Hmph, not if I see you first…”

The door slammed shut behind Scott as he left.

Julian Kang Vs. fate ling0d

  

"Outside" by Staind hit the speakers in the arena and the fans let out a slight cheer. It was time for the match to begin and time for the competitors to make their way to the ring. After a few seconds of the song playing Julian Kang made his way out from behind the curtain and received a few more small pops from the fans in attendance. Kang walked down the ramp with a smile plastered on his face. He quickly made it to ringside and climbed up the ring steps and entered the ring.

"Otherworld" by Nobou Uemetsu started up on the loud speakers and the fans turned to boos and jeers. This time it was for the man known as fate ling0d. The man that had violently attacked Dilly Dawg in previous weeks and had been wreaking havoc all over ACW. It was time for him to step up to the plate and go at it in the ring. He made his way out from behind the curtain much to the displeasure of the crowd. Fate quickly made his way down the entrance ramp in a hurry to get to the ring. 

He slid under the bottom rope and stood upright staring directly at Julian Kang. He was ready to decimate Kang and get the hell out of here. Both competitors stood in their respective corners waiting for the match to start. Finally the ref signaled for the bell and the match was underway.

Fate started off the match with a charge at Julian Kang which was successful when he connected with a powerful clothesline sending Kang to the mat. Kang bounced right back up and went after Fate only to receiver a dropkick to the face. The move knocked Kang back down to the mat and once again Kang bounced right back up. 

This time both men took a few seconds to stare each other down then began to circle the ring. The fans were starting to get in to it a little bit as the men looked like they were ready to tear each other apart. Kang went in for the strike this time and attempted a spear but Fate quickly jumped over Kang then spun back around and connected with a superkick to the face of Kang sending him bouncing in to the ropes. 

Fate followed up the vicious kick to the face by charging at Kang and delivering a spear sending both Fate and Kang sprawling to the floor at ringside. Both men landed hard and laid still for a few seconds while regaining their composure. 

After a few seconds Fate got back to his feet and walked over to Kang and grabbed him by the hair pulling him up to his feet. The ref just started his mandatory ten count and telling the men to bring it back inside.

1...

2...

Fate delivered a right hand to the face of Kang knocking him back a few feet.

3...

4...

Fate charges at Kang and delivers a running dropkick to the shoulder and chest area of Julian Kang causing him to fall to the concrete floor once again. 

5...

Fate turns his attention back towards the ring and slides under the bottom rope to avoid getting counted out.

6...

7...

Julian Kang made his way back to his feet. He was a little wobbly but he knew he had to make it back inside the ring before the ten count. He wasn't about to lose the match due to a count out. Kang quickly ran back over to the ring and slide under the bottom rope just as the ref finished counting eight. 

Fate didn't waste any time returning to the offensive front of the match. As soon as Kang slide in the ring he met him with a boot to the back of the head. Fate then delivered an elbow drop to the spine of Julian Kang. Fate then hopped back to his feet and picked up Kang. He slapped Kang in the face a few times just to show him up then he whipped Kang in to the turnbuckle. 

Once there Kang came flying back out with a forearm shot the face of Fate ling0d causing him to fall to the canvas. Kang tried to continue his attack by picking Fate up by the hair but Fate countered with a low blow which the ref didn't see. 

Kang doubled over in pain from the illegal move and Fate capitalized by standing up and delivering a quick DDT spiking Kang in to the canvas. Fate decided to go for the quick pin and see if he could end it. The ref got down to make the count.

1...

2...

No! Julian Kang kicks out. Fate doesn't let the kick out phase him. He continues his assault by delivering a few strong forearm shots to the head of Julian Kang. Fate then picks up Kang by the hair once again and whips him in to the ropes. Upon his return Kang is met with a boot to the gut followed by a swinging neckbreaker sending him once again to the canvas. 

Fate wasn't done with his assault yet though. Fate got back up and went over to the nearby turnbuckle and climbed up to the second rope. He stood there for a second looking at Kang then jumped off and landed on Kang's stomach area feet first. 

The crowd let out a little "ouch" chant as the move happened. Kang clutched his stomach area in pain as Fate just stood there smiling and laughing at his opponent's misery. 

Fate then decided to have a little more fun with Julian Kang. He pulled his opponent back up to his feet and backed up then delivered another superkick to the face of Julian Kang. The move caused Kang's head to snap back then he fell to the canvas looking knocked out. Fate then picked up Kang and hoisted him up on his shoulders, it was time for the Fate's Demise. 

Fate delivered the move flawlessly. His version of the DVD spiked Kang's head right in to the mat and left him unconscious. Fate wasn't done however. He picked up Kang's lifeless body once again and hooked his head under his arm. He quickly delivered the Set Path to Destruction, more commonly known as the Evenflow DDT. It was all over after Fate delivered his finishing move. He quickly made the pin and the ref got down to make the count.

1...

2...

3! 

Fate quickly rose from the canvas and stared at Kang's lifeless body and smiled at his latest accomplishment. Fate then quickly turned around and exited the ring. He had done his job for the night. It was time to go bask in his glory.

Winner: fate lingOd

Heroes From Our Past



We now find ourselves in the parking garages, the match between Julian Kang and fate ling0d having just ended. An air of discontent with Ethan Winters was quickly sweeping through the ACW, three men where had left the fed in the last week...how long would everything hold until the ACW blew-up on itself? 

Time would tell. 

"The Attitude" Max Douglas didn't give a shit about all this political bollocks or the time it would take though, the only thing to catch his attention would be the things that might remotely affect him.

Currently that thing, as he saw it, was out of commission. The cameras followed Max Douglas as he pushed his way out of the County Stadium and into the heated parking garage, cut off from the cold winter night. Since his first night in the federation he had taken liberties with the time he had spent within the fed, today was no different. He mumbled to himself as he tried warming up his hands. Even though the garage was heated, as always it wasn't good enough for him.

"If there too scared to put me in the Main Event again, thinking I'll almost kill another has-been like Alias, then what-fuckin-ever. I bet I could get other feds to stroke my ego...but if I'm fast enough I bet I can get a couple of girls to stroke it quicker." 

He flipped up the collar of his red and black "MD" warm-up suit. Thoughts of last week ran through his mind. The attack, and the following beating... the revenge.... it was turning his sour mood around, Douglas grinned widely once again, more or less the same slightly off smile from last week. As Douglas made his way through the wrestlers parking section he actually began gloating out loud, his boasts reverberating off the thick concrete walls.

"Mr. Original Pulp Hero thought he could actually mess with me!? HA! Well... as that bullshit nickname of his implied... I pulped that damned hero!"

Max chuckled to himself, amused by his play on words. He finally reaches his trusty black Ford Ranger and hops inside of it. Throwing his sports bag to the passenger side he fished into his pocket and grabbed his keys. Placing the keys in the ignition he twisted them forward like he had a million times before.

KA-CHUNK...

This time however, the engine wasn't turning over.

KA-CHUNK...

KA-CHUNK...

Max Douglas sneered at the wheel, smacking it with his right hand. He goes to pop the trunk, maybe then he could see what the hell was wrong with the Ranger. He doesn't even get a chance to open the door however. Something happened that completely changed any idea of going outside.

SMASH!!

One Louisville slugger making quite an impression on and quickly through the driver’s side of the front window...

"What the fu-!"

SMASH!!

... and then the passenger’s side of the front window. Max quickly locked the doors of his truck. As the trembling in his fingers started carrying out to the rest of his body he continued yelling, but no answers came. Max sat there in drivers seat, a few chips of glass from the front windshield lay beside him. His shallow breaths carried into the still air of the parking garage. For one moment he shut his eyes tight. There was silence.

Suddenly the same bat that had made such an impression on the front of his truck came directly through the back window. A taped fist finished the job on the back window, pulling it clear from its frame. The battered and angered face of one man filled the camera.

Alias

With a quick flash of a smile he flings the dangerous wooden bat out behind him, he wouldn't be needing it. The camera now pans to the outside. Without a word spoken we see The Original Pulp Hero dive all the way into the truck. As the truck rocks back and forth, we can only here yelling... screaming... and dull thuds. 

The cameraman walked in closer and closer to the passenger side trying to get a better view of the events unfolding before him. Suddenly Max Douglas's head is rammed through the passenger's side window, sending the camera man back a few steps.

Douglas's head lays limply out the window, glass from the shattered window is scattered everywhere, and blood from a large gash on his forehead slowly drips to the ground.

Alias climbs out from the driver's side of the truck. He brushes off his hands as he makes his way to the other side of the truck. Seeing as he's set to fight in the next match of the night against Russa, Alias is dressed in his usual ring attire of heavy black boots and faded red leather pants. He wipes his taped, bloody hands on his pants and stops at the limp body of Max Douglas on the passenger's side of the truck.

Alias spits a mixture of saliva and blood on the head of Max Douglas and without missing a beat he turns and leaves. But before he can he leaves one final statement.

"Wrong fuckin Pulp Hero. You want to fuck with me? Just make sure you can walk to End Game and we can finish this without any fuckin rules or restrictions in our way... LAST MAN STANDING!"

Signs of Something Much More than a Psycho



"Geo? Geo? Geo, where are you?!" There was a panic in Magick Man's voice, one you didn't usually hear in it. "Geo? Jesus Christ, Geo! Where are you?" Magick Man hustled down the narrow hallways looking for Vacton. "Geo, he's madder than you know! He's A LOT madder!" Magick came to an end of a hallway and grabbed someone leaning on a cart. "Where's Vacton?"

"W-w-who?"

"Geo Vacton!"

"Oh, uh.. Uhm.. His locker room is down the hallway there, m-m-make a left and keep goin', s-s-sir..." Magick let go of him and dashed off down the hall. He skidded in front of a door and almost tore it open. He walked into a dark room, but there was a small light allowing you to see the silhouette of Vacton.

"Thank God.." Magick closed the door behind him, but he was still heard from outside. "That Perry, he called me on my cell phone! He told me he was comin' for ya! He told me he was gonna make you suffer! Thank God I got here before it was too late..." A click was heard as the light turned on.

A terrifying scream followed by the door swinging open and Magick Man running down the hallway where he almost tripped on some wires.

The camera slowly peddled into the room, almost afraid to see what was inside of it. The crowd took in a deep breath at the sight..

Vacton was laid out on top of a cross where he was roped and chained on to it. His face looked puffy and his mouth was stuffed with a shirt. His eyes were covered with a bandana. His clothes were tattered and there were obvious signs of a fight in the room. Vacton's body lay lifeless on the cross, but he was obviously alive. Paramedics rushed into the room followed by Magick Man. Paramedics quickly ushered the camera out of the room and the scene had faded to black just before Geo's ropes were cut off.

Wasted Words



To put it nicely, Ethan Winters wasn't having a very good night....as usual.

To put it bluntly, the man was fucking pissed off.

"Where is that little bastard? He thinks he pull shit like shoving an innocent man's head through a window and get away with it?...Where the hell is he?!"

Winters stormed down the halls of the County Stadium, pushing past backstage techs and sending various production assistants on there ass. He was on hunt for one man.

Alias

Lucky for him, he was about to meet the very man he was looking for.... right around the next corner. 

Thud

Winters landed straight on his ass, he quickly pushed himself off the cold hard concrete floor and back up to his feet. Dusting off his o-so-expensive suit he glared into the eyes of the Original Pulp Hero. All Alias could do was crack a half-smile back in Winters direction, holding back his laughter.

"You really have to start watching where you’re going Ethan. All the hustle and bustle of the wrestling biz makes this a very dangerous place to just barrel through...your just lucky I wasn't SilverHAWK I guess."

Alias shot a wink back at Winters after the last remark. Let's just say the boss man wasn't too pleased.

"Don't fucking start with me Chris. You think you can waltz back in here after six years and act like your something else, bullshit. You only came back because I let you come back. Not Boyd or Dunn. ME!... and if you think you can pull any more of that over the top shit that just happened..."

"I didn't see anything close to a ref or security help me out last week... no that would have been to easy. Instead you let it happen; you have no idea what I actually had to do to get back to this fucking arena this week. On top of that shit you set up a match for me against Russa? 

Bullshit, you probably didn't even know if I where conscience or not when you made that decision. 

Hell, you probably didn't fucking give a damn either."

"I heard this whining shit from the group of you last week...URK!" 

That's about the time Alias had heard enough. He grabbed Winters by the shoulders and forced him against the wall, actually dangling his feet above the ground. During it all Alias did it with his face in a state of calm, something that scared the majority Owner of ACW even more.

"I don't want to harm you Winters, the thought has never even crossed my mind tonight. One things for sure though... if anything did start happening, I'm betting that your group of boys definitely wouldn't make it here in time to stop me."

Ethan Winters was a powerful man, but not physically. He would have to deal with Alias, and tie up all there loose ends, but that would have to wait later.

"Look, what was the match you wanted against Douglas?"

"Last Man Standing."

"Fine! It's done, anything you want."

With that, Alias let the head of ACW slide back to his feet and walked off towards the ring. 

He had a match to fight up next, and another one to prepare for just around the corner at End Game.

Closer Part Three



The scene has gone to the backstage area with Jay Smash an the ladies for the third time now, and this time, he is standing in the hallway next to the exit where the parking lot can be seen and a new security guard standing next to the door. When Jay Smash turns around from the door, and to the other side of the hallway, Ralph can be seen making his way towards him. When Ralph makes it to Jay Smash, he begins to speak.

"Oh my, these ladies look better than they did before. I sure hope you are having a good time."

"Oh you know me Ralph. How could I say no to a present like this, from a good friend like you?"

"That's easy to answer. You can't ahaha....ahahahaha."

".......Ahahahaha, yeah, so anyways, Ralph, I know you were nice enough to give me a party, and some ladies, but I felt terrible that I didn't do anything for you, that's why I have a limo waiting out there with a big surprise for you."

"Oh Jay Smash, for me? You didn't have to do that!"

"Oh no no, I did. I think you might enjoy it. If not, I think they might."

"THEY! Oh Jay Smash, you are the best!"

"I know, I know. Go on, they are waiting. Let's see, there is Dawn, Karla, Brandy..."

"Oh god! Thanks Smash, but I think they are still waiting for me!"

Ralph runs out of the arena through the exit, and into the parking lot where Ralph opens the limo door and jumps in without even looking. When the door shuts, there is a very loud yell and a cry for help

"I guess I should have told him that they were just their acting names. Well, I'm sure Dan, Karl, and Brandon, will all have a good time with Ralph. After all, what are friends for?"

A man dressed up with a lot of make up and a long blonde wig pops out from the top of the limo, waving bye to Jay Smash. The fans are heard laughing when the man pops from the top of the limo, which drives off, out of the parking lot, then turning the corner. Jay Smash and the three ladies head back the other direction to Jay Smash's locker room, where everyone that Ralph invited is leaving, heading to the parking lot to find Ralph. Jay Smash and the three ladies enter the locker room and sit down on the couch.

"Well ladies, it's been a long night, watching matches, hanging with Ralph, and getting and interview. Talking is over, it's time to relax."

Jay Smash takes off his shoes and tosses them at the cameraman, causing him to back out into the hallway. One of the ladies shut the door, ending the scene.

Russa Vs. Alias

   

“Fine Again” by Seether hits the loudspeakers, bringing out Russa. The technical master jogs to the ring as his entrance video plays in the background. The events of the last month run through his head, shutting out the mostly mixed reaction from the crowd. One name kept resurfacing in his thoughts… Julian Kang. 

Russa would worry about him at a later time however, he had to get focused. He was going up against Alias and after what Alias had done to Max Douglas tonight, Russa knew that he definitely had to be on his A game.

As Russa steps into the ring, “Not Over” by The Full Nine blasts over the speakers. Alias appears from backstage and slowly but surely makes his way down to the ring. He reaches out and slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside, never taking his eyes from the ring and his opponent. He slides into the ring under the bottom rope and immediately hops on the nearest turn buckle, raising a taped-up fist to the crowd before hopping back down to the mat. The bell sounds, and the “Original Pulp Hero”, Alias, stands toe-to-toe with the “Anti-Hardcore Hero”, Russa.

Almost at the same time, the two go straight towards each other and meet in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. For one moment the 6’4” men, with only 22 pounds between them, hold each in a standstill. Using his strength, the Russa bends his legs slightly and springs up, causing Alias to land in the corner. Russa charges in with a clothesline, but the Pulp Hero moves out of the way and corners his opponent with hard boots to the mid-section. 

Alias brings the edge of his hand down, smacking the chest of Russa with a knife-edge chop. He follows it up with two more, “WHOOO…”s sprinkled through the crowd, before sending Russa into the other corner. Russa hits the corner hard and feels more punishment on him as he stumbles back out into a vicious capture suplex from Alias. 

Alias lays a few boots into Russa before taking a step back from his opponent. Russa manages to get to his feet, but Alias nails him with a headbutt to the nose, a knee to the mid-section, and then an elbow to the top of the head. Click Click Boom. Seeing that Russa is down and battered, Alias quickly made the cover. One. Two. A kick-out by Russa ruins any plans of an early win for Alias. 

Alias decides to take a different route now, planning to go back to the basics with a wristlock. Russa pats his shoulder a couple of times, before rolling through and reversing the move into an arm-drag-and-twist. Alias now holds onto his shoulder in pain, trying to find some way to reverse the Anti-Hardcore Hero’s reversal, but the Toronto native interrupts his thoughts of any reversal when he yanks back hard on the arm, almost popping it out of its socket. 

Russa then pulls Alias forward and strikes him hard in the shoulder blade with a forearm. Russa continues his viscous shots by driving the point of his elbow into the shoulder of Alias, before taking Alias wrist in both hands. Russa executes a quick dropkick to Alias’s knees before whipping Alias to the ground with a snap suplex.

While Alias is down Russa takes Alias’s left leg and snaps it back in a single leg Boston crab. Profanity comes out of the mouth of Alias, but no words requesting submission. Alias kicks back with his free feet, and manages to hit Russa in the back of knee, allowing Alias to slip out of the hold. Alias manages to get up to his feet via the ropes. 

Russa throws a hard right hand towards Alias. Alias blocks it and hits Russa hard with a head butt that sends him into the ropes. Upon return, Alias whips his opponent forcefully towards the opposite ropes. After bouncing back into Alias, Russa is picked up and spun 360 degrees as Alias hits a tilt-a-whirl Piledriver out of nowhere.

The A-Bomb.

Once Alias drives Russa into the mat he clutches his stomach, not only had his body taken a beating in the match, but also it was still in bad shape from the attack at the hands of Max Douglas last week. 

Alias is first to his feet however and as he brings Russa to his feet once again he hooks him up in a headlock, kicks off the ropes and hits a tornado bulldog. Russa still somehow manages to get up, but Alias boots him in the mid-section and after lifting him up as good as he could, he drops him to the mat with a brutal high angle powerbomb. Alias holds for the pin.

One.

Two.

Russa kicks out. Alias waits on Russa to get up once again, and then runs towards him to flatten him with a clothesline. Russa manages to duck out of the way… and slips behind Alias, grabbing him by the waste and throwing his up and over with a German suplex. Russa rolls with it for the pin.

One.

Two.

Alias kicks out. Russa now waits on Alias to get up, and then charges in with a clothesline. Alias is caught off guard and is flipped up and over the top rope. Alias, however, lands on the apron, and as Russa turns around, he’s met with a shoulder-block through the top and middle ropes. 

Alias grasps Russa’s waist over the top rope and gives all he can into a huge belly to belly suplex, this takes Russa up and into the air and through the Spanish announcers table at ring side. As a “Holy Shit!” chant starts thru the arena, Alias raises a fist to crowd while still lying on his back at ringside from the insane move. Alias cocks his head sideways looking at the battered body of Russa lying in the rubble of the announcers table.

“You about done yet, ya tough bastard?”

Alias then picked him up staggered about and saw a ringside fan with a beer bottle. Alias quickly demands the drink from the fan, the fan holds his hand out and begins drinking, as Alias tells him to hurry up. Time is indeed running out, as Russa rolls slowly from the shattered table and gets himself up on one knee. 

The fan begrudgingly hands the remaining quarter of beer left to Alias. Alias shoots the last remnants of brewsky back and then quickly rolls Russa into the ring. Russa gets to one knee, as Alias grabs him by the hair. 

Russa fights back with right hands to avoid any more offense. Alias takes each shot and returns a shot of his own, as Russa quickly takes to the ropes. Alias manages to pick him up… and send him hard to the mat with Pulped, a painful looking signature move. Alias hooks the leg and says a prayer.

One.

Two.



Russa kicks out. Frustrated and wanting to end this match A.S.A.P., Alias brings Russa up and shoots him off to the ropes. Alias goes for a back-body drop but telegraphs it, Russa simply rams his head to the ground with a dangerous DDT. 

Alias manages to get up from the move, but he gets a boot in the mid-section by Russa, and then a Gutwrench powerbomb. Alias’s lights go out, and Russa makes the cover.

One.

Two.

Those lights weren’t out for long, however. Alias kicks out with authority and it’s almost as if the fire of his early 90’s run in ACW, can be seen igniting in his eyes. Alias pounces to his feet and meets Russa with punch after punch to the side of the head. 

Alias forces him into the turnbuckle pummeling Russa into submission with a hard cross punch from the left followed by a roundhouse punch from the right and an elbow uppercut. The last barrage of punches causes Russa to now hangs from the top rope. Alias singles to the crowd for the finish and whipping Russa from the corner. 

Alias holds onto Russa’s wrist so that Alias is now behind his opponent, Alias hooks up Russa in a Full Nelson… and sweeps his legs out from under him… he continues to hold the Full Nelson and twists his legs to the side to give himself more leverage.

Anarchy’s Lullaby.

“Faaaa…uck! I give up. I give up.”

There was no doubt that Russa had taken a lot of punishment during the match… the Anarchy’s Lullaby was the final straw. So with no hands to tap out with all he could was say the word. 

The fans in County Stadium erupts in cheers after witnessing the end of a very entertaining match, as The Full Nine once again blares over the speakers. The referee holds Alias’s hand up in victory, as Russa rolls out of the ring in disappointment. Alias raises his fist in victory to the crowd, a smile of relief and happiness on his face. 

End Game was continuing to look brighter and brighter. The fans to give Alias a nice ovation while Courage heads backstage…

Winner: Alias

The End(Game) Is Near! (See what I did there...)



As the fans were looking forward to the Main Event, they instead were treated with a shot of Winters sitting in his office, ready to speak to the masses.

"One week, one week today is when ACW End Game will take place, and right here...I have the card, which I'm going to announce right now, but firstly I'd like to make a few announcements.

ACW End Game will no doubt be our best show yet, so I hope that all you little people, save up your welfare money and buy it. Why don't a group of you save up, and go and watch it over at someone's trailer, give you all the chance to see it, at a lower cost.

ACW End Game will also make ACW Television history, as we beam all over Great Britain for the first time ever and we are only the second US Federation to beam PPV's live to the UK at 1am, and it will be on Sky Box Office, channel 770, for the small price of £19.99. GREAT value for money.

To the card.

Well...firstly, we will have Geo Vacton take on the Legend that is, and new Winters INC member, Scott Perry.

We have two men who are relatively new here in ACW go at it as Brandon Blade goes up against Branson Blair.

In a match that has just been sighed right now, by myself, we will have Dante Inferno go up against Jason Kain, and that match, will have a special stipulation, of a Fall Count Anywhere Match.

As you might have seen earlier, by new best friend Alias will take on Max Douglas in a Last Man Standing match. Go Alias!

The TV Title Will be on the line when ICU takes on ToK.

I want a true Champion for the US Title, and that is why both Geo Vacton and Jason Kain will fight two matches on the one night, as they are two participants in a triple threat match for the US Title which will involve Jay Smash also.

Finally, the announcement you have been waiting for, Osyrus will get, and take his chance to retain the ACW World Title, against SilverHAWK and this match will be a special 2 out of 3 falls match, it seems that both us and WWE think alike, as this will be the match to end the series between these two. We will not have different falls, however, the whole match, will be under Hardcore rules.

So that is it folks, may I just say happy viewing, the PPV can be purchased at ANY time, like now, and I hope that you enjoy...END GAME! Now, a word from our sponsors..."

SilverHAWK & Jimmy Gonz Vs. Osyrus & ToK

 

SilverHAWK and Osyrus have had their fair share of battles in ACW, and most of them, have come away with a more or less even winner, as there is very little between these two men, unlike some people would want you to believe. During the commercial break which was prior to this match, Osyrus and ToK had made their way to the ring, something which didn't please the former ACW World Champion too much, but as him and ToK came out tot he same theme tune, they seemed to have a pretty good relationship, as they spoke with one another all the way down the ramp.

But as HAWK's theme played, and then arena erupted, the more than likely best possible team in the current ACW Roster hit the scene, as both HAWK and Jimmy Gonz began their short walk down to the ring. As Gonz and HAWK got closer to the ring, ToK and Osyrus began to pace back to their end of it, as Gonz jumped up to the ring apron and into the ring, the ACW Champion dragged his belt up the steps and then passed it to Simon Glass, the referee for the main event of the night.

"This is my time HAWK, let me go first..." Gonz claimed, as he slapped hands with HAWK as the Champion backed off and stood on the ring apron, as Osyrus did the same at the other side, leaving ToK to start his first ACW Main Event. As the bell rang, both competitors locked up as the fans planted themselves on their seats as this match began. Gonz managed to sharply get ToK in a headlock, as he squeezed ToK's head, the pressure showing on ToK's face as he backed Gonz up and then whipped him to the ropes.

ToK tried to stand his count, but Gonz bumped him off of his feet, and then ran to the other set of ropes. After a short sequence of parrying moves, ToK rose to his feet as Gonz bounced off the ropes as he tried a clothesline, much to his dismay he missed as it was rather sloppy. Gonz punched ToK square on the nose as he turned around, as he punched him into the ropes and then whipped him one again, and then planted him to the mat with a body slam.

Gonz stomped on ToK as he tried to squirm away and get a tag, but Gonz kept him within reach and pulled him to his feet, before suplexing him to the mat, and then placing him in a headlock on the mat, squeezing ToK's head causing immense pressure. ToK wriggled as he tried to get out of the move, but Gonz had ToK's face squashed against the mat also, as he used his forearm to squash ToK's features...

The crowd boo'd however as Osyrus jumped into the ring, and kicked Gonz on the face, causing him to release the hold. HAWK was ready to burst into the ring, but Gonz ushered him off.

"I can handle this."

Gonz picked up ToK, and brushed him off, the crowd, and HAWK were confused.

"Go and tag him in."

ToK looked at Gonz as a small smile came from the veteran's face, ToK looked over at his partner, who didn't know what was going on. Gonz pushed ToK into his corner, and ToK inadvertently tagged the former ACW Champion to his surprise. Osyrus looked into the center of the ring as Gonz taunted him with the Rock's "Bring It On" as he got a rise from the fan's inside the arena.

Osyrus was now in the ring, with every step forward he took, the anticipation in the arena heightened, as the two men were now in the center of the ring, face to face. Osyrus looked at the "nobody" and slapped him in the face, which got a huge reaction from the crowd, and from Gonz and he slapped the taste out of Osyrus' mouth in return, as the two men began to exchange right hands back and forth.

As Osyrus got the better of the exchange between the two, he pushed Gonz into the corner of the ring, and began to hit him hard with some shoulder tackles, as Gonz's chest took most of the impact. Osyrus whipped Gonz to the ropes, but as Gonz hit the ropes, HAWK slapped him in the back for a blind tag. Gonz ran at Osyrus, and ducked his clothesline, and then ducked another, so as Osyrus turned around...

"Hey asshole."

WHAM!

HAWK hit Osyrus with a clothesline that nearly sent him out of his boots, as ToK then jumped into the ring, and hit Gonz with a clothesline to the back, as he was making hit way out of the ring. HAWK turned around and attacked ToK, whom tried to fight back, but as HAWK punched him over the top rope, there was little ToK could do. Gonz jumped to the outside and began to fight with ToK, calling him all sorts of names as he smashed his head into the ring steps, and then threw him into the side railing, ToK's back receiving most of the impact.

Inside the ring, HAWK picked Osyrus up, and suplexed him to the mat, placing him in position...for a top rope move?

Na.

HAWK climbed to the second rope and ala Steve Austin, jumped off and stabbed Osyrus in the heart with a flying elbow, which was just about how much HAWK could go "extreme!". Outside of the ring, ToK had reversed the tables, as he reversed another head smash into the ring steps and slammed Gonz to the mat with a Russian leg sweep, and then he was doing some damage, throwing Gonz into railings, the ring apron, and the ring steps also.

As HAWK got to his feet, he felt a sudden pain in his back, as ToK had came from behind him and clobbered him with a right hand to the top of the spine. HAWK fell to his knee as he was now at the mercy of both ToK and Osyrus, both of whom took small shots at him each, before the referee decided enough was enough and tried to through one of them out. Osyrus tagged in ToK, whom took it upon himself to start to dissect the champion.

As ToK had HAWK on the mat, he softened him up with some right hands, before standing up, and jabbing his knee, into HAWK's right knee, which had had numerous troubles with in the past. HAWK squealed, as he rolled around the middle of the canvas, as ToK got to his feet and watched as Gonz was not on his feet at ringside, being helped up by the fans as well!

ToK pointed Osyrus over to him, to which Osyrus quickly jumped down from his position and ran over to the long time friend of the World Champion. As Osyrus pulled back a closed fist, he slammed it towards Gonz's nose, only for it to be blocked out of Gonz's direction, as he retaliated with his own right hand, which sent the crowd nearby into extreme cheers.

Gonz punched Osyrus all the way to the ring post at the other side, and as he looked to body splash Osyrus on the actual ring post, Osyrus ducked to safety, as Gonz hit the post running, a large thud sounded as flesh hit steel.

"Good work champ" ToK shouted over at Osyrus, as his partner smiled back, but a smile soon turned to shock.

"BEHIND YOU!"

breakDOWN!

ToK lay unconscious on the mat as HAWK had delivered his patented finishing maneuver to the TV Champion wannabe. As the referee made the three count, Osyrus didn't even try to jump in the ring to save the match from ToK's sheer inexperience, instead, he made his way to the ringside table, as the fans exploded as the referee made the third and final count, but as Osyrus entered the ring with a steel chair in hand, smashing it upon HAWK's spine, the cheers dampened as HAWK lay flat out over ToK.

Osyrus pushed HAWK off of ToK, and then pushed ToK out of the way, he was never part of this anyway, he was just a means of getting to HAWK in the first place. HAWK looked down at the "ACW World Champion" and thought about driving the steel chair into his face, but then common sense prevailed.

No Face.

No Match.

No Title.

Instead He jumped out of the ring.

"Watch this Champ."

He hovered over to Gonz, whom was still a little dizzy from meeting the pole at speed, but at Gonz looked up, the arena suddenly went dark, as the chair plummeted towards his head, making such a noise of sickening impact that most of the fans nearby looked away. Osyrus repeated the act to other parts of Gonz's body.

His head.

His shoulder.

His Hip.

His legs.

It was the second friend in the a number of weeks that Osyrus had destroyed, and as he looked over at HAWK, who was starting to stir, he threw the bent up chair into the ring, which landed a few feet from HAWK's face. The Champion looked at the molding of his best friends body, and began to cringe.

"You'll f...f...fucking pay" he stuttered as the former ACW World Champion made his way up the ramp.

If one man was ever the under-dog, it was the man in the ring, and the problem was...even HAWK knew that, but what's the saying about under-dogs?

They'll bite you in the ass soon enough.

Winner: SilverHAWK and Gonz
