LIVE! on Sunday 24th November
From
America West Arena, Phoenix, Arizona

PREVIOUSLY... As the business of Professional wrestling demises from it's great heights of the mid 90s, it seems to be hitting the smaller federations the hardest and with the most severity. As the bigger federations had problems of their own, including some internal bickering at the very top levels, it seemed that ACW was having some trouble reaching the public and getting it's roster to do the work that was needed of them. As the TNN ratings for ACW were very low, morale and the overall reputation of ACW Television was also declining...but through the mist and the darkness had come a shining light, and that was the man whom now holds the ACW World Heavyweight Title, can it be through him were ACW climbs the Promotional ladder?

Too Harsh?



As Courage was about to air to whomever was watching now a days, the three main men in ACW today, sat, locked away from the rest of the World somewhere in the arena. They had things to discuss and many of those things were so important to the future of this promotion, that the show would have to wait for them to be dealt with...

There was a clear split in the top of ACW about how things were being run currently, as Dunn and Boyd sat on one side of the oak desk, and the majority owner sat opposite them, with his shades in front of him, along with a few pieces of paper work. The main bickering of the trio was about wrestler to staff interaction. Dunn and Boyd had a respect for these men who would go out there every night, Winters treated them as cattle, cattle that he could use and then put out to pasture when he was done.

"I would like to welcome both of you to this meeting here today" Winters opened, "there will be no minutes taken, so I think that we should just get on with this shall we?" 

"Sure."

"No problem."

"OK, next week is the first of the house shows, and I left you two with a sheet to see just whom is going to be facing who at the first show, have you got it finished?"

"Erm..."

Dunn handed Winters a piece of paper...which was blank.

"What's going on Dunn?"

"The fact of the matter is this Ethan, the wrestlers aren't happy with you and your demands. 

Most of them say that they are not going to show up at the house show, and if they do, it's not going to be a full effort as they simply don't want to do it..."

"Firstly, every single wrestler will be there, and if they aren't there, then there contract will be frozen and they will be suspended without a pay for a year, but what if I gave them extra bonuses to do the work?"

"I think that you would have to give them some series cash to work these shows..."

Ethan sighed, he was being reasonable here.

"Listen to me here guys, TNN are up my ass with this ratings bullshit and now the wrestlers are pushing me about like a nobody. Listen to me, I'm being nice here and I'll give them the bonuses, but if any of these idiot wrestlers piss me about like this again, I'll be signing checks...after I break the contracts!"

As Ethan stormed out he left Dunn and Boyd in the room alone...

"He is gonna drive them out..." Boyd sighed.

"I Know..."

He’s Here


Courage opened up with a cameraman running in the back with his camera on his shoulder. The man quickly focused the camera on two smashed cars outside the arena as one had rammed into the other. One of the cars was a dodge viper 2003 that had an unknown owner, but the other was no surprise. It belonged to Ivan and he was stepping out of it. 

Ivan was dressed in his unorthodox clothing with his usual cut up jeans and tainted shirt and having a smirk of rage on his face. Ivan was abruptly attack by a mob of cameramen and interviewers wanting questions to be answered. 

“Ivan what the hell happened?” 

The first question had been asked and the only response was a silent monster. He wasn’t there to answer questions but the interviewers were eager to get there questions answered and kept on him like pack rats. 

“Are you drunk?” 

Another question arose and the only thing that could be heard besides the annoying clicks of camera’s being taken was the malicious snickering coming from the fiend that kept walking straight to the arena.

Numerous Opinions


As the pyro and the rest of the pizzazz was finished with, it was time for the usual opening speech by Winters, but the fans didn't see him appear on the stage, like he normally did. Instead, they groaned as Winters appeared on the Tron at the head of the set, but he was anything but happy, and that gave the fans a little joy, plus he was not right in front of them, stinking the place up, so two pluses and one negative would do them.

"Fans of ACW...enjoy your week break?

Na...me neither.

I'm sorry to say that last week's "incident" with TNN was completely out of my hands, and it was really in YOURS

You see...if you little thief's would stop with the illegal hook ups on PPV's, then many TNN would have been a little less harsh as they said ACW had no market value, but they are wrong oh so wrong! 

I did my calculations, and I got an unofficial buy rate that was actually higher than Survivor Series this week, I can't think of the rate off the top of my head, but it was big!"

Bullshit.

"Anyway, for those of us able to scrounge out for a programme, they would have seen that tonight starts the US Title Tournament, and I have to say, the quality of the matches should be very good tonight, and I'm hoping that most of you will go home and tell everyone you know about ACW and they can tell their friends and they can tell theirs and so on. 

To make things short...watch ACW, and make up a wealthy company, and then we can sign Goldberg. OK?

Speaking of money...this week was a good financial week for me, as some of my lazy assignee's broke their contracts, and they will now be sued by yours truly. I'm sorry but you cannot go around signing multi-million dollar contracts and then piss off 3 months into it, therefore, the wrestlers who you have recently seen drop off the face of ACW, will be receiving a small letter through their door, and then they will shit their pants...Haha...I have the best lawyers in Miami, the money is as good as in my accounts!

Moving on...breakOUT was a mixed event.

For one I got rid of three wasters, in ERA, KaGe and Teddy Legend, but on the other hand, the single most talented wrestler on the Planet was beaten by a pure fluke...but I don't really want to talk about it, as I'm sure Jones will want to talk all about it later on tonight. 

What else is there to say? 

Osyrus will get his title back, I have no doubts about that, I guarantee it actually, that shows you how sure I am of his talents...and as for HAWK, he better keep that title close, because come the next PPV, he will not only lose his title, but his livelihood!"

I HATE YOU!


There was a lot of tension in the room, visible even on TV. Scott Perry's face hung low, his day had already been terrible having tripped over that sign and fallen into that manhole, then there was the box incident but there's no need to pick him apart. He obviously didn't want to be there, but he went anyway just to not be the "bad guy."

"This is ridiculous! He thinks he can help? He can help me and everyone else by blowing his brains out with a forty-four! Ha! That's what I think of him!" Perry wasn't very happy. He picked up an M&M and tossed it into his mouth. He began chewing and then quickly spit it out. "Ack! Peanuts! I'm allergic to
peanuts! Ack!" He wiped his tongue off with his shirt and coughed to clear his enlarged throat.

Perry sat back down and jerked the chair back quite a few inches with his force. He looked up at the clock. "Where in the hell is this guy?"

The door behind him opened a few inches with a great force and stopped because it hit the back of Perry's chair. Perry tried to get up but the door opened further making his chair flip over. Perry spilled onto the floor and knocked over the bowl of M&M's. "Sweet Jesus!" He cried while he scattered to stand up. "Who the hell put a door there?"

Geo walked into the room and took a quick look around, unaware that he had even knocked Perry over. "What happened in here, huh?" He noticed Perry on the ground and quickly went to help him. "You okay?" He questioned as Perry dusted himself off.

"Yeah, yeah! Just how about knocking before you enter a room?" Perry asked while walking across the room.

"But.. You weren't naked or with a lady friend!" Vacton defended himself.

"But someone could have been standing.. Or been sitting... Or... OR CHOKING ON PEANUT M&M'S!" Perry stomped his foot.

"Choking? Whose choking?" Vacton asked and picked up a peanut M&M.

"Me! I was choking you fool! I'm allergic to peanuts!" Perry shook his head and walked to the other side of the room.

"Gee! I didn't know! Are you okay now?" Vacton asked concerned.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

"Okay, gooooood. I once knew someone who was allergic to peanuts and walnuts and basically all the nuts... Well, you can't really call a peanut a nut because it's a lagoom, isn't that a crazy thing? A peanut is technically a bean, not a nut! Yet it has the word Nut in it!" Geo looked at Perry and realized he didn't much care so he sped his story up. "Anyway, anyway. He ate some walnuts in a salad at some restaurant because he didn't know they had walnuts in it, and yeah, he almost died! So Believe me! I know how much a peanut can affect a person!" Geo nodded.

Perry continued to shake his head and wonder why he had even came. "Look, I don't know what the hell you want with me--"

Geo cut him off. "I want to help! I hate to see someone so grouchy and down all the time!"

"Listen, I'm not grouchy or down! I've just been having a bit of a bad-- Ah, hell! Why am I telling you anything? You're nothing but a nutcase."

"Nutcase, hey, that's me a nutshell! But I'm pretty sure I'm only half as crazy as people make me out to be when they say I'm half a lunatic! I'm probably as normal as you're gonna get! I guess I just have a lot of spunk, a lot of flare, y'know?" Vacton shrugs. "Anyway, no more about me! This is all about you! Tell me what's been bothering you!"

Perry looked at Vacton in disbelief. He walked to one end of the room and back. He bit the skin off his finger nail and ran his fingers through his hair.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

"Yeah."

"What's WRONG?"

"Yeah!"

"WHAT'S WRONG?!"

"Yeeeeeaaaaah!"

"I'll tell you what's wrong! It's you! It's you!" Perry wipes a bit of spit off his lips and continues. "It's all you! Since the day I signed with ACW!  You've been in my way, you've made me late, and I have hospital bills up to my ass because of you! I can't stand you! Everywhere I go there's something involving you that leads me into trouble or danger! I hate it! I really do!  And I hate You!"

Vacton looked shocked. "Hate? You hate me?"

"YES! I HATE YOU!" Perry stormed out of the room without letting Vacton mutter another word to him. He stumbled on the carpet and ran into a food tray. "God dammit!" He screamed as he crawled away and then got up to his feet to get
away in a stagger.

Geo stared blankly at the wall. "He hates me?"

 

Pass The Torch


BreakOut was supposed to be the turning point in ACW…it was a time where ACW would make that sharp right hand turn, taking it off that path of mediocrity and straight into greatness. A greatness that Winters, Dunn and Boyd collectively knew was possible with their continuing growing roster. But also, BreakOut was home to a lot of unexpected surprises that night. 

The new faces finally making their way onto ACW’s television airwaves; the successful title defense of ICU, in a match that was clearly favoring his opponent…but two of the most shocking revelations to occur in ACW were Winter’s address to the roster about new changes that were going to happen very soon, in addition to the young, angry superstar Osyrus being bested by the long time ACW veteran, and new World Heavyweight Champion…

SilverHAWK! 

SilverHAWK had proved to himself and the world that he was right all along about Osyrus’ current title reign as footage from Breakout was shown on the bigSCREEN to the live audience… HAWK reaching up and claiming his long awaited prize. 

The screen started to turn blood red. 

The former champion arose from the spot, where he had laid handcuffed on the roof of the third cage. He pushed the new champion off of the top, bouncing off the metal bars and mesh before landing face down on the first cage. As Osyrus looked down at HAWK, he sniggered.

He was now a Former Champion, but had he succeeded in his long term goal?

To Slowly Kill a Legend?

Those were the final words that appeared when BreakOut went off the air two weeks ago… 

Would HAWK seek his revenge tonight on ACW’s return to TNN?

The lights in the arena stated to dim. Lights of all kinds slowly fading, as a flashes of a woman’s naked body was shown on the bigSCREEN.

“Rape me…”

The surrendering voice of Kurt Cobain was heard singing as a soft guitar riff played in the background.

“Rape me, my friend… 

Rape me…

Rape me again…” 

Then suddenly the arena was filled with flashing red strobe lights, tremendous clashing of drums and strumming of guitars as “Rape Me” by Nirvana played over the P.A system. The crowd looked up at the entrance to see who was making their way out to the ring. TNN censors were probably having a fit, trying to cancel out the word “rape” every time Cobain yelled it out loud painfully. 

The entrance way lights right in front of the curtain turned red as well as the former ACW world champion plowed his way through curtain. The crowd jeered and boo'd within seeing the man in seconds, as Osyrus retorted their boos with the biggest smile ACW fans had ever seen. The former champ made his way down the ramp, sliding in the ring, calling for the microphone as it was handed to him by the ring announcer. Osyrus stood in the center of the ring for a second as his new theme died down, but jeers still going strong. 

He rose the stick closer to his mouth, fans quieting down, eagerly waiting his thoughts about the PPV… 

“Rape… that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think about what happened at the PPV.”

The camera panned around the venue, shocked expressions on the faces of the fans in attendance.

“Yeah, you heard right. I was violated a few days by one old, egotistical bastard named SilverHAWK.”

A loud pop erupted as the mere mention of the new champion’s name was said.

“But you know what, that’s not why I am smiling… This grin on my face is because I knew SilverHAWK couldn’t survive this match. I knew that he was too old and wasn’t physical ready for what I had in store for him…” Clips of Osyrus’ spots during the BreakOut Pay per view were shown on the screen as Osyrus admired his work.“…And now even though I stand here before you as your former champion, I still know that I put the first nail in the coffin of that son of a bitch HAWK.

You all know better than anyone behind that curtain, that Osyrus is the future of All Star Championship Wrestling… Not HAWK!”

Chants of "shut the fuck up" could be heard in the distance as Osyrus’ smile slowly faded away. “You know that no one can dominate me in this ring, and every time you hear that theme playing around the world… it’ my way of taunting people to try and get a piece of ‘the personification of talent’; ‘the shooter’… Osyrus!”

The fans attention turned from Osyrus to the bigSCREEN as SilverHAWK arrived to the arena, hobbling on one leg.

Osyrus began to laugh in the center of the ring as he slowly moved closer to the ring ropes, watching SilverHAWK struggling backstage to move about. “That’s what I am talking about right there… you see that old piece of shit hobbling like a 70 year old man? You really want him to represent a young company like ACW? If SilverHAWK knew what was good for him, he would pass the torch to me.

Like Hogan to the Rock in the WWE, Ric Flair to Sting in WCW and Shane Douglas to Tazz in ECW…it’s time that ACW makes me their flagship superstar.” Osyrus takes a pause as the footage of HAWK leaves the screen.

“And if they don’t, then I will just have to take the title won’t I?”

“Rape Me” by Nirvana play again as Osyrus leaves the ring side arena.



ACW United States Title Tournament
Geo Vacton Vs. "The Attitude" Max Douglas

  

The crowd was pumped up to see the first match in the US Title Tournament tonight between "The Attitude" Max Douglas and Geo Vacton. The crowd gave a respectable roar as "Raw" by Staind pumped through the speaker system and Douglas power-walked down to the ring, giving the crowd a few solid glances and snarling at some signs for his opponent or others. He tore through the ring ropes and circled the ring halfway before stopping and kicking the bottom rope with the heel of his boot.

The presence of Vacton was felt as if there was any doubt as the charismatic young man dashed out of the curtains to the tune of "TNT" by ACDC. He slapped the hands of many fans in the first few rows as he slightly walked down to the ring giving his opponent only a few glances. He jogged up the steps and gave a little twirl as he entered the ring. He gave a friendly grin to Douglas since they weren't enemy's or anything at all at this point. "TNT" came to a choppy end, but the crowd continued the catchy lyrics.

"'Cos I'm T-N-T! I'm Dynamiite! I'm T-N-T! And I'll win the fiight!"

Vacton slipped around the ring for a few seconds before the bell finally rang.  Douglas started things up immediately with a powerful lockup. Both men canceled each other out and the lockup was broken as quickly as it started. Both competitors stumbled back, slightly. Douglas grabbed Vacton and through him into the ropes. 

Douglas prepared to hit Vacton with a clothesline, but Vacton ducked. Douglas turned around and was met with a smooth kick to the face.  Douglas spattered to one knee and spitted out some saliva. Vacton heard the crowd roar, but didn't acknowledge them just yet. He locked up with Douglas.  Vacton had the advantage of being on top, but Douglas overpowered him and used him for leverage to stand up and hook on a vertical suplex.

Douglas slammed Vacton to the mat and shaked his hands off on each other and paced around him. Vacton put his torso into the air to relieve some of the pain and then rolled over in preparation to stand. Douglas grabbed him by the back of the shirt and kneed him in the stomach. Vacton bent over and stumbled away from Douglas and looked around at the crowd who although didn't hate him, didn't make much noise. Vacton caught his breath as Douglas prepared to lock up again.  

Vacton ducked and got behind him. He wrapped his arms around his frame and flipped him over his head. Vacton then toke a few dramatic steps to the ropes and leaned into them, waiting for Douglas to stand. Douglas stood up and met Vacton's elbow and stumbled back. Vacton through Douglas into the turnbuckles and mounted himself on top of him. While preparing himself for a high-risk move, Douglas wrapped him arms around Vacton's legs and through him to the mat.  Douglas stood up on the top rope, somewhere he's not used to being, and came down with a tremendous thud onto the mat as Vacton rolled away.

The crowd could feel the tension as both competitors were at this point even.  Vacton got up with help from the ropes again, and Douglas slowly marked his way around the ring. Douglas slowly went for another lockup, but Vacton dodged it.  Vacton stood behind Douglas and waited for him to turn around. When Douglas spun around, he was promptly hit with a drop kick. Douglas stumbled quite a few feet back and caught his balance. 

Vacton, surprised at his resilience, shot back to the ropes and charged on Douglas with a clothesline heard around the arena. The crowd cheered as Vacton skipped over Douglas' body and ascended to the top rope. Geo perched himself up on top waiting for Douglas to rise.  Douglas stood up and shaked off the effects of the drop kick followed the clothesline and twirled around. Vacton leaped off the top rope and connected with a hurricanranna. Geo twirled Douglas around for a second and then sent him over his head onto the mat. The Vacton fan's the audience began cheering the chant made famous in Twenty-First Century Wrestling..

"T-N-T! T-N-T! T-N-T!"

Vacton clapped a few times, and shaked on the ropes to get the crowd going further. Vacton climbed onto the second rope and waved his arms around to the fans who started booing. Geo looked around at the crowd strangely, and then realized what was the cause. Douglas stood behind him. 

Geo turned around and was immediately hoisted into the air in a gorilla press. He kicked his feet and waved his hands, but it was no use. Douglas fully extended his arms and twirled Geo around like a baby before throwing him with full force onto the mat. Vacton withered in pain as Douglas looked into the eyes of the crowd, taunting them.  He then shaked the rope like Geo had, and pointed up, and then down. He scooped up Geo and threw him onto the second turnbuckle.

The fans expected a reversal as Geo came awake and gave out a few hits to Douglas, but it didn't happen. Douglas head-butted him and then set him up for a pile driver. With Geo on his shoulders, he jumped backwards and nailed Geo down to the mat with a sit-out powerbomb. Douglas went for the expected win pinning Geo.

1...

2...

No! Vacton got his hand onto the rope and managed to kick his way free from Douglas. He still had a lot of fight left in him, and wasn't about to loose such an important match. Vacton slid out of the ring and stumbled back onto the steel railing where fans in the front row slapped his chest and rubbed his head.  Many of them yelled at him, telling him to "get back in the ring and beat him!"  With some encouragement from the crowd, and a good breather, Vacton jumped back into the ring. Douglas stood waiting for him, and began pounding at his back.  

Vacton fought back with quite a few good hits of his own, and shoved him off.  Douglas grabbed Geo by the back of his shirt and prepared to literally throw him across the ring, but Geo put his legs up on the second rope and spun himself around in a 360 degree fashion getting himself loose and allowing him to get "The Attitude" off his feet. Vacton picked Douglas up and slapped him across the chest. Then again, and again, and again, and again.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo!" Cheered the crowd with every slap.

Vacton then charged Douglas into the ropes. On the exchange, Vacton hit Douglas with a summersault flip, not only showing his aerial ability, but bringing Douglas down like a nail at the same time. Vacton waited for Douglas to get up, and then charged at him with a spear. But it was no use, Douglas maneuvered out of the way. 

Vacton skidded on the mat, and turned around to charge at him again. Douglas ducked his clothesline. Vacton skidded once more, kicked Douglas in the stomach, hooked his head in a DDT position and yelled out something inaudible to the crowd. The crowd went wild as Geo spun him around in a cross-cutter type move, completing the GEOCIDE, his trademark finisher!  

1...

2...

3!

Vacton hooked Douglas's leg and got the win.

The crowd came alive as "TNT" by ACDC slammed through the speaker system again.  The referee held Geo's hand up in victory and declared him the winner. 

Vacton paced around the ring and gave a friendly grin the crowd, just as he had done when he started the match. Douglas rose to his feet and shuck his head. Vacton walked over to Douglas and held out his hand to shake it. Douglas looked at Vacton oddly, and then shuck his hand, much to the delight of the crowd.  

Douglas and Vacton both left the ring in different directions and headed up the ramp, the crowd still cheering.

Winner: Geo Vacton

Stop the Wrist Cutting


I pounded on the door of Winter's office, to be welcomed with a "Come in". I twisted the oval doorknob and stepped into a room of stale Cuban cigar smell and the taste in my mouth of imported beer. "You wanted to see me?" I asked  as he motioned me to sit down, and I did so.

"Fate, my man. What happened at Breakdown?" He frowned at me, which told me he  was disappointed.

Frank, the friend in my head said this. "Don't reveal our plan. Say it was just  stiffness of ring work and a accident."

I slipped into a trance-like state and mumbled, "It was an accident. We had some misjudgments and miscalculations. It won't happen again sir."

"Your not quite getting the point 'fate'. You placed one of our best men in the hospital for 2 to 3 weeks and all I get is a 'fucking sorry, go fuck yourself' Winters."

I felt a little angered but Frank comforted me at the time. He told me to tell Winters a joke he just though of.

"Winters.. Isn't that something ICU would say?"

Winters grinned, his smile as straight as a San Francisco party. I never saw  such a grin before. "fate, I'll give you one more shot in ACW, just don't hurt  anyone this time. Scott Perry is needed alive and well."

A partial smile rose on my lips as I stood up. Winters greeted me good bye as I  walked out of his office for some fresh air. It was needed because Winters just plain smells, and quite frankly, so does ACW.

"Frank, how many more days until a new life starts?" I asked him while I walked out of the hallway.

He appeared hopping to me and he grunted. "128 days. 8 hours. 15 minutes. 9  seconds."

A sadistic grin shined across the hallway as Frank and I walked outside for some air.

Shoulders Of Giants


It was not what you would call the entry of all entries, but as HAWK was greeted backstage by numerous superstars, he knew that the day was not for a celebration, but instead observation. 

There were no streamers, no ticker tape, no balloons, and no party atmosphere, but HAWK didn't need that to know that the rest of the ACW workers were happy with last Sunday's result.

His night was simple.

Interview at the end of the show, that had even been granted by Winters of all people, in the end he knew that HAWK was in no fit state to fight for his title, and neither was Osyrus more that likely, so Winters had decided to give them an extra week off. It wasn't good business anyway to have your two biggest stars fight a half match when he could easily build it up for 5 weeks and have them battle it out at another PPV.

HAWK sat in his dressing room, a few of the vets were around, smoking, drinking, looking at the belt, talking about the old times etc. It was great. Since the start of the new era, HAWK had never felt comfortable. The new generation were away from him, figuratively speaking, he never could replace them with the guys that were in his locker at that moment in time. Sure he would interact with them, but he felt like a cast away, and he would only be happy when he would hang around with the bookers, and the staff at ACW, not the wrestlers. he was above the "boys".

"Hey HAWK...what's all this about you getting our jobs back?"

The room quieten down as Razor talked to HAWK a lot louder than he had wanted. 

HAWK looked up at all the faces around him, and smiled...

"Guys, I've got a meeting with Winters tonight, and it's gonna be about giving all of you guys a shot at some sort of ring time during the house shows...now I'm not guarantying anything, but maybe it go on further after that."

As the room stirred, most of the occupants of the room were now sitting down, thinking about HAWK's proposal.

"What about this Osyrus guy HAWK? You going to forget about him?"

"I don't think I'll be able to John. Osyrus will take care of himself I'm sure, I'm positive he'll be wanting his rematch at the next PPV, so be it...but tonight I'm gonna have this meeting and then an interview at the end of the show, and then I'm away home. I'm through with making threats and making trouble with other guys. If Osyrus wants a shot ay my title, he can come and fucking get it."

Razor got to his feet and tapped HAWK in the shoulder...a shoulder that bore the weight of a federation, and now the fate of a group of experiences grapplers...who just wanted a chance to show that they had.



Brandon Blade Vs. Alias

    

'Not Over' by The Full Nine begins to be played through out the arena sound system as the former Titans of Wrestling and fEar Wrestling superstar makes his way from backstage out onto the entrance ramp. He slowly makes his way to the ring and nonchalantly steps into the ring to await the newcomer Brandon Blade. 

After a minute or two of Alias’ theme music being played. It is interrupted by '96 Quite Bitter Beings'. Brandon Blade appears on the entrance ramp after a brief firework and a pyrotechnic display. 

He then eagerly walks confidently down to the squared circle where his opponent Alias is ready and waiting. After half circling the ring, Brandon slowly makes his way up the steel steps. He then hesitantly steps in and goes to the opposite corner that Alias is in. 

The referee calls for both wrestlers to make their ways into the middle of the ring. He instructs them to shake hands, but Brandon quickly takes advantage and gives Alias a cheap shot to the stomach which allows him to hit his finisher the 90 Mile Plunge! Brandon then hooks Alias’ leg forming a bridge and the referee counts 1…2.. Alias is able to break the pin and rolls himself to safety. 

A little dazed from the devastating cheap blow from Blade, "The Original Pulp Hero" is slow to get back up onto his feet while Blade is already a step ahead of him and being to jab him with rights and lefts. Eventually Alias is able to counter a punch and let loose with a punching combo of his own. 

After stunning Brandon with a punch combo, Alias is easily able to suplex Brandon down to the mat. Alias goes for a weak pin and Blade is able to get his shoulder right up. Alias feeling his momentum slipping away grabs Brandon Blade’s neck and begins to squeeze it with all his might. The referee recognizes this as an illegal hold and quickly counts to 5 and Alias breaks the hold. 

Both Brandon and Alias are back on their feet and both begin to grapple with each other. Moving right and left one trying to overpower the other. Alias is able to gain the advantage and hit one of his trademark moves the "Click, Click, Boom!" 

Brandon is laid out flat on his back and Alias goes down for the cover 1…2 Brandon slowly kicks out and Alias as he is getting up from the mat takes Brandon with him. He then grapples with him once again and ends up being Irish Whipped into the ring ropes. Alias comes running back right into a quick Inverted Russian Legsweep which sends both wrestlers to the ground and Brandon on top of Alias making yet another cover 

1….

2…! 

Somehow Alias is able to dig down deep and get a shoulder up. 

Now Alias feeling the match slip away begins to jab Brandon’s stomach as he is being pulled up off the ground. Now Alias throws his elbow into the stomach of Blade. With Brandon hunched over Alias gives a swift knee to the jaw which sends Brandon onto his back. This allows for Alias to get a few kicks in on Brandon’s side. 

Brandon grabs onto Alias’ leg and muscles him down to the ground. Brandon quickly sits on Alias’ chest not allowing him to sit up and just begins to pummel him with right and left hands.

The loud thwacking sounds can be heard throughout the noisy arena. Blood is now trickling out of Alias’ mouth and finally Brandon gets up and takes the battered Alias with him. While Alias is trying to figure out where and who he is, Brandon capitalizes with some hard hitting knife edge chops which send Alias into a turnbuckle where his chest is literally butchered like a slap of meat by Blade. 

Trying to add insult to injury Brandon Blade climbs up two turnbuckles and begins to punch Alias in the face as the blood thirsty crowd begins to count with the punches 
"1…

2…

3…

4…

5…

6…

7…

8!!!!" But Alias taking all he could stand grabs Brandon’s wrestling tights and delivers a powerbomb which should have sent Brandon right through the arena floor.

Realizing that the match has started to turn around Alias begins to kick Brandon out of the ring and down to the ring floor. Alias taunts the crowd from the ring getting some cheap face pops and then goes out to the ring floor where Brandon has been planning his next attack. Once Brandon gets pulled up by Alias he quickly low blows him, but Alias blows it off like he has balls of steel and then delivers an Adam Vinatera field goal kick to Brandon’s testicles which have probably entered his stomach.

With Brandon contemplating whether or not he will be able to have children in the near future, Alias knocks him too the ground with a huge clothesline. The referee now gets between Brandon and Alias and is pleading with Alias to get Brandon back into the ring and to wrestle the match in the ring and not turn it into a street brawl. But before the referee can finish his orders Brandon comes up swinging with a chair he found near by and nails both the referee and Alias with it. 

Brandon now rolls the referee back into the ring and then takes the chair and begins to beat Alias with it like crazy. The loud smacks echo throughout the arena as small children and woman turn their heads in disgust to the brutality of the attack. 

Finally Brandon finds a soft spot in his blackened heart and stops using the chair on Alias. He rolls back in the ring and attempts to waken the referee. Once the referee is up, Brandon instructs him to begin to count Alias out.

Alias is finally back on his feet and approaches the ring, 9, he just barley gets back in and the referee stops his count and Brandon starts to have a tantrum in the ring. From here there isn’t much more Alias can take from Brandon who is taunting him to step back into the ring. Alias giving it one last-ditch effort runs at Brandon and attempts to tackle him, but is caught in the process. Alias is then driven straight down to the mat with the same move, which started the match, "The 90 Mile Plunge!" Brandon hooks the leg and the referee counts

Brandon Blade had won his first match to the dismay of many of the fans in attendance.

Winner: Brandon Blade

World Peace


With his first match over Brandon moves along the ring floor towards the commentary booth and grabs a microphone.

"You see tonight, I beat a un-talented lazy welfare collecting American!"

The fans boo him and a U-S-A chant softly breaks out and then becomes very loud in the arena as Brandon makes a face of disgust at the fans.

"SHUT UP! I am New Zealand’s Finest Athletic! I am Brandon Blade! I deserve to be treated like royalty and you should be honored that I Brandon Blade have made a wrestling appearance in this poor lower class town!"

He then throws down the microphone in disgust and sticks his nose up in the air as he leaves the ring and makes his way up the entrance ramp.

First Impressions


The atmosphere was unbelievable and Branson took it all in. 

He had finally reached the big time. All-Star Championship Wrestling had finally given him the opportunity that he longed for. Today Branson would become an ACW Superstar. 

Today made Branson’s life meaningful and worth living. Today Branson thanked God for creating him and for allowing him to live out his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. For today is Branson’s greatest hour. No other day will compare to this. No other moment will seem quite as important. For today Branson has become complete.

"This is unreal. I never thought I’d come this far." Branson said as he was talking with Dunn who was showing him all over the arena and introducing him to various members of the ACW family.

"Well son, you deserve it. You’ve busted your ass to get this far…just don’t throw it away like some guys have." 

"You don’t have to worry about me Dunn, I’ll treasure my spot in ACW." 

"I understand that you come from a rough background?"

"Well my family is very poor and I come from a rough area in New York, but that helps add to who I am."

Those words couldn’t have been said at a worse time. For an angry, testosterone filled Brandon Blade was passing by. He couldn’t help but over hear what Branson had just said. For Brandon this was worse than anything. Another lower class scum bum had made his way to ACW and this made him sick inside. He couldn’t stand the fact that he had to wrestle these lazy, poor Americans. 

"Hey junior…just because your parents used food stamps. That doesn’t make you special."

Brandon then tosses a dollar on the ground and stares Branson in the eye.

"Hey kiddo why don’t you go pick that dollar up, run home to mommy and say you just got lucky and made more money than she ever did walking the street corners of the ghetto you grew up in!"

Branson couldn’t stand to be verbally attacked for no reason. He lunged at Brandon and almost got a fist in his face but ACW Agents and security that was passing by separated them.

"You both just calm down now." Dunn said as Branson and Brandon were taken away in separate directions

The Meeting


It had seemed like a long time since the fan base of ACW had seen the young man known as Julian Kang. Kang sat in his locker room. He was running his hands through his brown hair. 

He stood up and took down the South Korean flag from the wall where it was hanging. His lips opened slowly and a soft sound came from them.

“I hate my parents. I hate everyone. I hate my country. My parents didn’t care about me. No one does. I don’t need to find them, but when I become rich and famous. They’ll all be running back to me. All anyone ever wants is their damn money and I won’t let them have it.”

He shut his eyes slowly, and sat in the corner thinking. A loud knock came from his locker room door. Russa barged into the room.

“What the hell do you want?” Kang stated slowly.

“Shut up you dirty Korean. You don’t even deserve to be in ACW with such stars as myself. You’re a nobody just like your nasty parents.”

“Wha..What was that?? GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LOCKER ROOM! NOW!”

Russa laughed loudly. He opened the locker room door, than slamming it shut as he left. 

 

Welcome To Smashville


Two weeks ago...Jay Smash stepped into an ACW arena, and one week ago, Jay Smash joined. Now, tonight, Jay Smash will set foot into the ACW ring, for the first time, as he makes his way to the top...Now you watch...Now you pray...Now you get ready for the New Disease...

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honour and a privilege to introduce the new superstar on All-star Championship Wrestling. From Summerville, New Jersey, weighing in at 295 pounds, Jay Smash!!"

New Disease by Spineshank blasts over the PA system as the lights dim and the fans cheer below strobe lights shinning through the entire arena, even though some of them may know of him, the other fans were just screaming for the entrance.

Jay Smash is found running through the crowd, then hoping over the barricade, he slides into the ring, and climbs to the turnbuckle post at the far left of the announcer tables. Jay climbs to the top as cameras flash all over. He takes a giant back flip off the top and lands back to the canvas where he grabs a mic and waits for the fans to calm down.

The music cuts, and Jay raises his right arm into the air with a fist, raising the cheers even more. Finally, the fans calm down, and Jay Smash begins to speak.

"What can I say?

I've already achieved one goal, and that is to make sure each and every one of you know who Jay Smash is, but just in case, and for the record, I am the Big Jay...I am the hell raiser, the pain giver, the natural born and raised wrestler, here to prove to each superstar in ACW, that they are to strong enough, good enough, or extreme enough, to beat...Jay Smash!"

Louder and louder, the fans cheer as they pop out of their seats, and try to quiet down to listen to Jay Smash.

"I'll tell you this right now, I am not here to face opponent after opponent, to end up in a rivalry with some jackass who calls himself a wrestler, but I am here to achieve another goal, and that is to bring back something that was left dead a long, time ago. I left someone down, and out here in ACW before, and when the time comes, here in ACW, that very same man, will find himself, once again, trying to leave Smashville, alive.

Now, during the week, I thought I would look around, get to know some of the superstars, and even meet some nice people. I met two individuals who I brought here tonight, that are looking to become pro wrestlers, and I have seen both these guys in matches before. They have the power I can tell you that, but there is a few things these guys lack. That is why they will learn a lesson from Smash University, right here, right now. So, allow me to introduce, Jimmy Smith, and Yurura Jadams."

Two men walk down the ramp to the Courage theme music, and then as they enter the ring, both men give Jay a handshake. Jay hands both men a mic and they begin to speak.

"Mr. Smash, I have to say, it feels great to be standing here in the actual ACW ring! It is just incredible to see all these people are, probably not here to see you, but, hey, one of these days, you will have your spot light back. Until then, maybe you can teach something useful for getting into the business."

"Yes, Mr. Jay Smash, the "New Disease", how about we cut the chit chat and get on with the wrestlin'."

"Well, in that case...how about we...."

Jay Smash suddenly drops the mic and delivers a double clothesline to both men, knocking them straight to the ground. Yurura Jadams stands up and a run at Jay Smash, but Jay Smash drops him with an arm drag, and to an arm lock. Jimmy Smith kicks Jay Smash down, then Yurura stands up and helps Jimmy with the beating on Jay Smash. Jay Smash rolls away, then stands up.

Jimmy Smith kicks Jay Smash in he abdomen, then both men set Jay Smash up for a double suplex. Before they can drop Jay Smash to the ground, Jay Smash reverses the move into a double DDT. Jimmy Smith pops back up, and Jay Smash delivers the Vitamin Jay! When Yurura Jadams gets to his feet, the crowd goes crazy as Jay Smash delivers the Smash Landing to him. Both men fall dead center in the ring and Jay Smash finished both men off with a Springboard Frog Splash onto both men. Jay Smash stands up and grabs a mic.

"You wanna know how you get into the wrestling business? You don't screw with Jay Smash. Why? Cause it's my time, it's smashing time!"

New Disease hits and Jay Smash exits the ring, hops back over the barricade and leaves through the crowd.



ACW United States Title Tournament
Wombat Guerrera Vs. Russa

    

It had been a rare commodity in ACW, for the former uKw star Russa to enter the ring in ACW action, but as both Russa and Wombat Guerrera stood on opposite sides of the ACW ring, they both knew that this was going to be a big match in their careers.

Wombat had had a taste of the big time, when he took part in the Courage Main Event prior to breakOut again Osyrus, and he loved it. Russa had had success in other federations, and he wanted to continue the Gold trend in his new work place. 

Being in a Tournament was a hard thing to become motivated for, as you really had no connection with the man you were facing. He was not a nemesis to you, he was just a man that stood in your way from the next round.

This was not going to be an easy match for the fans either, as both of these men had got slightly "over" with the crowd before the bell rang, but as it did, all of the thoughts of both wrestlers exited their minds, as they focused on purely getting past this early stage in the competition. As the duo hooked up, it was the speedy Wombat Guerrera who pulled a fast one to lock on an arm bar to Russa, as he then pushed him face first into the ring corner and then drop kicked him in the small of Russa's back, as he bounced of the turnbuckle and then rebounded into the arms of the Luchador.

As Wombat side stepped Russa as he came rebounding back from the turnbuckle, he then took him down to the mat with a reverse bulldog and then looked for the quick win in the match.

Kickout.

 

Russa thrusted his right arm up as Wombat then got to his feet and pulled him up with him. As Wombat pushed Russa to the ropes and then attempted a clothesline, Russa ducked it and then bounced off the other side of the ropes, but as he turned around he was smacked with a hard right hand to the face, which sent Russa toppling over the top rope and onto the mat below.

The fans grew in noise as Wombat jumped up to the top rope, Rob Van Dam like and then body splashed the former uKw hardcore champion on the mat, as both men lay on the edge of the ramp, looking winded. As both of the competitors got to their feet once again, they began to exchange right hands, which Russa finally got the better of Wombat and kneed him in the gut, before throwing him into the railing to his left hand side. 

The fans didn't boo him, they knew that this needed to be done, but they didn't like to see Wombat being flung about like that.

Russa pulled Wombat's mask to raise him to his feet, and then decided to suplex him into the start of the metal ramp, which he did so. The referee then got in Russa's face and told him to either get this back in the ring or we would count them both out...therefore, Russa picked up the Mexican and through him back into the ring. 

Russa climbed back into the ring and then pushed Wombat, who had got to his feet, into the corner of the ring, and then proceeded to kick him in the mid section before whipping him to the other corner of the ring.

As Wombat bounced off the turnbuckle, Russa kicked him in the stomach and then slammed him to the mat with a Gutwrench suplex, and then covered, looking to advance.

Kickout by Wombat.

 

The fiery Mexican managed to kickout using his leg power, but he was soon pulled to his feet once again, as Russa softened him up a little more with some hard and swift right hands to the side of Wombat's face, before he pulled him to the middle of the ring and looked to powerbomb the little luchador, but as Russa was at the top of the move, as Wombat was on his shoulders, the luchador spun around and then both men toppled to the ground as Wombat his Russa with a hurricanranna.

As both men lay on the mat, the crowd clapped after a great reversal by Wombat Guerrera, as Wombat and Russa more or less got to their feet at the same instance, a missed right hook by Russa gave Wombat a chance to capitalize. 

As Wombat pushed Russa to the ropes, face first, Russa then held onto the ropes as Wombat rolled back into the center of the ring, and as Russa came running at him, he monkey flipped him.

Russa was furious, he got to his feet and instantly rushed to Wombat, who then hit him with a really nice calf kick, which sent Russa bouncing off the mat and then holding onto his jaw as he rose to his feet. Wombat then tried to kick Russa in the stomach, Russa caught his leg and then spun him around and delivered a stunning DDT!

Moments passed were the crowd didn't know what was going to unfold, but as Russa placed his arm over Wombat...

NO!

Wombat got up at the very last moment...the referee even made the count.

Russa couldn't believe it.

Russa picked Wombat to his feet and punched him to the corner of the ring, before mounting him on top of the top rope, as he looked for the superplex...but Wombat punched Russa in the face and then held onto his head, tornado ddt!

NO

As Wombat turned around a looked to go down, Russa kept him in the air...and put him on his feet, it was almost matrix style as Russa booted Wombat square in the stomach, and then picked him up from the side, like a Gutwrench powerbomb except reversed, he then pulled the luchador up, and hit an inverted Piledriver!

 

1...

 

2...

 

3!

 

It was over, Russa had progressed, and as he rolled out of the ring, Wombat could only look on...seeing three Russa's at the one time, this wasn't a good night for a little Mexican.

Winner: Russa

Making Sense of Things


The camera cut to a scene taken inside the ring as an interviewer appeared to be sitting with Jason Kain and Jade Greene in front of the audience in the arena.  Kain wasn’t wearing his mask and Jade was sitting next to him, with a cutesy grin on her face.  The interviewer started with his segment looking at Kain and Jade with a notebook in his hand, and a pen in the other.

“Jason Kain, Jade Greene, two weeks ago at BreakOut, we and the viewers at home saw you two get back together after a few harsh words… was there something there the whole time, or was this just a passing moment?”

Kain looked over to Jade, then back at the interviewer with a smile that hadn’t been seen since his early days of wrestling in 1998.  

“Does this look like a passing moment?  Listen, we were together in ukw if any of you recall…  it was just a bit more odd that they had put it into some ridiculous storyline involving an old student of mine.  Back then it seemed as if it were just a gimmick to put us over.  It wasn’t just a gimmick, though…  and we had stayed together through thick and thin there, and I’m hoping that we do here as well.”

He looked to Jade, who smiled then wrapped her arm around his.  She looked at the interviewer.  “I didn’t think I’d want to spend my life with another wrestler, and I doubted that it’d be someone like Jason, here…  but now that I am with him, and that we can get through the toughest time of our relationship in one piece, I’m willing to believe that we can get through anything.”

The interviewer looked up at Kain’s face.  “Ah, yes, the scar…  were you trying to hide it behind your mask?  Or was it just the fact that you had been depressed about the apparent loss of Jade and your pub in England that made you wear it, to maybe hide yourself from the world?”

Kain laughed a bit.  “Maybe it was both, boyo…  yes, I was depressed when I first came here.  It was a hard time in my life.  I had gone through a lot before reaching ACW, and believe me, I doubt it’s over just yet.  I’m not at my pinnacle…  My pub being destroyed wasn’t my fault.  That was Red O’Brians fault…  he’s what made me bring out the mask.  I didn’t want him to know why I wanted to hurt him, just like I really didn’t know why he wrecked my pub…  But Jade made me come to my senses…  make a new beginning for myself, and possibly just make it altogether.”

“He’s not the asshole he’s been pegged out to be.  He’s really a great guy, and we intend on proving it to the world, even if it means starting from scratch…  but I remind you, he doesn’t need to start from scratch.  He’ll start from now.”  Jade smiled, backing her beau the whole way.

“With my reborn faith in God, and my strong faith in Jade, I won’t be falling behind again…”  Kain looked at Jade, then back at the interviewer.  “I used to not believe in God, but when he brought me out of my rut and made me a star in ukw, I was grand…  yes the scar tested that faith, but God came through…  bringing the one thing in my life that was worth it back to me…”

Suddenly Kain looked up, and stood in front of Jade, staring off camera.  The camera turned, showing in the distance Dante Inferno at the top of the ramp, he was greeted with a mixed reception.  Kain started yelling off microphone, as Dante grabbed his own mic and yelled for them to turn it on.

"It's beyond me how people such as yourself, can put faith in a fictitious man that was the concept of a few men millennia ago. Kain, you say that God brought you out of a "rut"? How so? Look at yourself Kain, you are the personification of ugliness."

The crowd stirred as he topic was beginning to get a little heavy.

"Dante, I think you better have a look in the mirror."

"True, but at least I know that I am ugly, and that I don't have to hide myself from the clutches of depression by sliding a mask on my face. People have to begin to speak their own mind, phrases such as "God works in mysterious ways" really begin to piss me off, as these are just placing a cover over traumatic experiences...when my mother died, I was told later on that it was God's will.

God's Will? 

He would want a 6 year old boy to live his whole live without knowing his mother? He would want a man to grow angry with his life and God himself, and begin to destroy people? No. My mother is dead...plain and simple, it was not God's will or anyone else's. The same with you Kain, God never rescued you from anything, all he did was give himself the credit for whatever you have done...dammit people think for yourselves."

As Kain pout the mic to his mouth, Jade motioned for him to stop...and she spoke.

"Dante, what are you doing here? Preaching your religion?"

Dante laughed.

"Religion...religion is for the weak my dear...such as yourselves. I don't need a group of rules to show me how to live my life, but if you want to show me how to live my life, why don't you show me what your boyfriend has got? I think I'm...undefeated here in ACW...and in life, do you want to step up?"

As Jade was about to stop him...but Kain blurted out, "You're on!", to her dismay...

"It's a date..." Dante stated, as he laughed, walking to the back of the arena.

Shoulders Of Giants Pt 2


There was no knock at the door, because quiet frankly, Winters didn't deserve one in HAWK's opinion.

HAWK burst through the door and then slammed it shut, Winters sat at his desk going over some paper work, as the force of the door brushed them all over the office, to his aggravation. HAWK sat down, and then slammed his title in front of him, a true sign of disrespect and a message for Winters. HAWK placed his feet upon his desk...he could have pissed all over his table too, but Winters got the message.

"What do you want HAWK? 

I thought you would be having some sort of parade at my expense after last Sunday's fluke. Might I just say, how was the trip from the top to the bottom?"

"Sorry to disappoint you  Winters, I'm afraid, I, unlike your boy O have a little bit more class than that. I'm here to discuss business...and business only."

"You? Business? HAHA, don't make me laugh HAWK"

"Get your finger out of your ass and listen to what I have to say...prick.

I'm hearing around the wrestling grapevine that you are having a few problems getting names for the upcoming house shows...I have no idea why that would be, or whom told half of the roster not to sign up, but that doesn't matter now does it?"

"Why you..."

"Shut the fuck up. 

I have a group of 6 wrestlers, who will wrestle for you in the house shows, guaranteed, and they will wrestle any other dates you wish, as long as they get a decent pay that is."

"How much?"

"Enough. 

So if I can get these 6 guys to come to the house shows, along with whoever else turns up, can they wrestle?"

"Who are they?"

"ACW employee's."

"Who? ICU? Perry? Dilly? Who?"

"Guys like that yeah..."

HAWK leaned forward, as he didn't know how many more BS answers he could give, so he had to try and rap this up quickly.

"DO WE HAVE A DEAL?" HAWK asked more or less in Winters' face.

"Yeah...bring them to the house shows and I'll book them. Just write their names down here so I can put them in matches with one another for the house show...do you want to fight one of them?"

"Na, just book me against one of your jobbers, that Osyrus guy is free I think.

Winters...I hope that you are beginning to learn a little about this business. Sure you can fuck people over easily, but they can fuck you over just as much. Listen to Dunn and Boyd man, at the end of the day they are the ones that could help you, HELP YOU. Don't be a total fucking retard and try and do this all on your own...Jesus, Paul Heyman could do a better business job than you are currently."

As HAWK picked up HIS title, and dangled it in front of the owners face, he smiled and then left. He left a piece of paper on his end of the desk, with the 6 wrestlers names on it. 

As Winters slid it over to him and looked down.

"Razor, Jimmy Gonz, Alf Holland, "The Ballbreaker" Terry Moeller, John Sanchez and Fonzi Barthello."

"THAT BASTARD!"

Who the Fuck…


The ACW fans were already impressed what has transpired on Courage just one week after BreakOut. They have seen many of the ACW stars in action here tonight but they have not seen the true effects of what has transpired of BreakOut.

Backstage Ivan strolls the halls with a sign of distraught on his face. Worried about nothing, yet thinking his actions would some day get the best of him. Maybe it was time to give it up…Maybe it was time to be something that people cared about. Maybe it was time to be the father that he never had, but then a man walked up to him, disconnecting his own thought patterns.

The man stood in front of him with a neck brace entangled to his neck as you could tell pain was still being suffered by the face expressions coming off of his dingy face.

“Look what you did to me…All I wanted to do was guide you to the top…And this is what I get.” The man said with authority as he moved his head in an awkward position hurting it even worst.

“You just don’t know when to quit do you.” Ivan said glaring into the eyes of the poor pathetic man that wanted answered.

In the eyes is where you can tell a person and as Ivan looked into his eyes he could tell the man was weak. He could see that the man wanted no part in pain, nor in suffering death, but what did the man see in Ivan?

He didn’t back down this time, growing some type of balls I would imagine as he stared right back into Ivan’s eyes. He then began to notice what type of person he was. A man that was strong, built to kill, and is as vile as they come. His facial expressions went from strong to a less powerful one as he began to get scarred once again.

“Who the fuck are you again? Oh that’s right.” Ivan said answering his own questions as he didn’t want to hear it from him or anyone else. He didn’t give a shit about anything anymore, only his repugnance self.

He then took one shot into the stomach of the man knocking the wind right out of him. Making him fall to the ground Ivan laughed in a sickening way leaving him on the ground suffering from what he didn’t want.



ACW United States Title Tournament
eXistenZ vs. Jason Kain

                             

The camera panned around the arena as eXistenZ walked through the curtain to his music.  He looked around as the crowd did a slight cheer, then walked to the ring and climbed in.  He hopped a bit, the lifted his hands over his head, and the crowd popped.

Suddenly “El Distortio De Musica” blasted over the PA and the crowd went wild as Jason Kain stepped out with Jade slightly behind.  Jade pumped her hand in the air, and Kain slid under the ropes.  His mask was still on, but this time it was unzipped, showing that he wasn’t pent up anymore.  He tested the ropes a bit before telling the ref to ring the bell.

As the bell rung, Kain flew in straight for a grapple, but eXi sidestepped, dropping down with a drop toehold.  Kain got to his feet, nodding to eXi for the good move as eXi shrugged…  the crowd started the “eXi you’re so Sexy” chant again, and eXi moved in…  but got pulled over with a quick arm drag.  Kain got up, and eXi nodded, while Kain shrugged this time.  But Kain fired in with a hard clothesline, then begged for eXi to get up before nailing him with a second one.  eXi didn’t know what hit him, as he got back to his feet…  but Kain pulled him over with a hard belly to belly, slinging him over the top rope and out of the ring.

Jade started cheering for him, as Kain climbed out of the ring, following him.  Kain pulled eXi to his feet before slinging him into the guardrail, then pulling him up onto his shoulders…  flipping him into a Samoan driver onto the mat…  the ref restarted the count as Kain entered the ring…

eXi climbed to his feet, but fell back to the mat dizzy.

eXi stood up again, and rolled into the ring before the 9 count, but Kain laid in a hard stomp to his back.  Kain pulled him to his feet, hooked the head and pulled him over in a half-belly suplex, and went for the cover.

KICKOUT!!!

eXi pulled whatever he had left for that kickout and it showed as he didn’t get back to his feet at all.  Kain yanked him back to his feet, and planted him with the full-nelson bulldog Electric Slide.  The crowd started chanting “Shock Him, Shock Him!” and Kain obliged hooking the Buffalo sleeper, and hooking the legs around his ribs, squeezing hard…

eXi struggled for a moment, then tapped mercilessly and Kain leg go as the ref called for the bell…  Kain stood up and helped eXi to his feet, putting out a hand to shake.  eXi took the sign of respect, and walked out of the ring as Kain watched him leave.  Jade climbed into the ring and gave Kain a hug for his win marking it with a kiss, and Kain raised his hand over his head.

Winner: Jason Kain via Submission

Negotiations


The show comes back from a commercial of the ACW's Shop zone. As this grand show goes to the annoying Tony, this manager with no client and no purpose to be in ACW. 

It's pretty damn sad to watch. 

Tony is talking on his cell phone, and for once he has a smile on his plain face.

"Oh thank you so much old friend...

I think Winters will be very happy to hear I finally have a client. It's about damn time. You know what? I think you will. Hello, are you there?"

Tony says though the phone. 

As he hangs the phone up he just takes a deep breath and leans back to the wall behind him. He looks to the left of him and Ethan Winters' office is beside him, but who is this man he was talking to?

"Well gives me more time to report to the cops, about that jack ass ICU for crashing into my new car." Tony says, as if he was talking to his phone, which is off and in his hand ready for a new number. Tony dials the law as he stands from the wooden bench he was resting from a hard day of recruiting, as he says.  He stands there at the door and grows a evil like grin as he pushes the door open with his finger tips, and the law finally answers.

"Yes, I would like to report some reckless driving on apart of my co-worker." Tony says as he shuts the door to Ethan's office behind him.

 

ACW United States Title Tournament
fate lingOd Vs. Scott Perry

    

It was now time for the main event of the evening. The show had been action packed and full of excitement up until this point. The United States title tournament had gotten underway and would continue with the main event. The two competitors weren't familiar with each other and really didn't care. To them this was just another match serving as a stepping stone in their career. A stepping stone to something better. With that said and done it was time to get the main event started.

"Things that make you go hmm..." by C&C Music Factory hit the loud speakers and the fans in attendance responded with a small chorus of boos. Most fans had no idea who the music belonged to but some were smart enough to realize it was none other then Scott Perry's music. After a few seconds of the song playing Scott Perry made his way out from behind the entrance curtain much to the displeasure of the crowd. He was greeted with heartfelt boos and jeers from the intense crowd. After shrugging off the boos Perry continued his way down the entrance ramp and slide under the bottom rope of the ring. He abruptly stood up and did a click glance around the arena. He knew it was time to prove himself in his first match in ACW and he wasn't going to disappoint. He made his way over to his corner to wait for his opponent for the evening.

"Otherworld" by Nobou Uemetsu started up on the loud speakers and the fans again 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 just like Perry. Fate ignored the crowd and zoned in on Scott Perry who was waiting hesitantly for him in the ring. Fate quickly strolled down the entrance ramp and up the ring steps. He stood on the ring apron for a few seconds staring down Scott Perry. After he was done intimidating his opponent he quickly entered the ring and went to his corner. It was time to rumble and both men knew it. The ref signaled for the bell to get the main event underway.

As soon as the bell rang Scott Perry charged at fate ling0d to try for the early upper hand. Perry attempted a clothesline but fate ling0d ducked and delivered a spinning right fist to the face of Scott Perry. Perry battles back with a shot of his own to the bigger man known as fate ling0d. Both men exchanged blows for a few seconds until fate ling0d gained the upper hand and delivered a knee shot to the gut of Scott Perry. With Perry bent over fate ling0d tried to capitalize and attempted the Set Path to Destruction but Perry blocked the move.

Perry fires back with a right hand to the face of fate ling0d once again. After gaining some separation from his opponent Perry bounces off the ropes and delivers a forearm shot to the face of fate ling0d. Seeing the move barely phase his opponent Perry bounced off the ropes once again and attempted another forearm shot but fate ling0d moved out of the way and delivered a neck breaker to Perry. Fate goes for the quick pin to end the match and the ref gets down to make the count.

No! Scott Perry kicks out before the count of three. It was still too early in the match for Perry to stay down for the three count. Fate responds by standing up and laying in to Perry's side a few times with his boot. After a few boot shots fate ling0d picks up Perry and whips him in to the ropes. Fate delivers a dropkick to the chest of Scott Perry as he bounces off the ropes and sends him to the outside of the ring. Perry tumbles down to the concrete floor at ringside and lays there for a few seconds. Fate just stands in the ring awaiting for his opponent to get up or be counted out. The ref begins the mandatory ten count as Perry lays on the ground.

Perry quickly slides back under the bottom rope and in to the ring. He stood up and was greeted with a dropkick to the face once again. This time knocking him in to the ropes and then falling down to the canvas in the ring. Fate followed up the dropkick by delivering an elbow smash to the ribs of Scott Perry. He stood back up and climbed up the nearby turnbuckle to the second turnbuckle and dove off with a knee smash in to the ribs of Scott Perry. Fate got back to his feet and picked up Scott Perry and delivered a quick scoop slam sending Perry right back to the canvas. Fate climbs the nearby turnbuckle once again and flies off with a splash landing right on Perry's rib area. Perry clutched his ribs in pain as Fate stood up and observed the damaged he just caused.

After a few seconds of standing there Fate continued his assault by picking up Perry and delivering a dropkick to the rib area of Perry causing him to stumble backwards a bit. Fate then got back to his feet quickly and charged at Perry delivering a massive spear to the ribs of Scott Perry. After the spear Fate took his time getting up and once he did so started delivering knee drops to the ribs of Scott Perry. After a few more rib shots he picked up Perry and threw him in to the corner. After laughing at Perry for a few seconds Fate started drilling his shoulder in to the ribs of Perry to further the damage already done. After three shoulder shots to the ribs Fate let Perry fall to the canvas in pain.

Fate looked around the ring and the arena and saw that most of the fans were booing him. He really didn't care because he was out there doing what he did best, kicking ass. He knew it was almost time to swoop in for the kill and he knew it would only be a matter of minutes before his hand was raised in victory. Time to continue the assault. Fate picked up Perry once more and delivered a backbreaker to further injure the ribs of Perry. Fate got back to his feet and climbed the nearby turnbuckle once again and flew off again with a knee drop to the ribs of Scott Perry. After that Fate decided it was time to stop toying with his opponent. It was time to end it. Fate picked up Perry and delivered the Fate's Demise, his version of the DVD. He could've ended it there but he decided to make sure the kill was his. Fate picked up Perry one more time and hooked his head, he quickly delivered the Set Path to Destruction. His version of the Evenflow DDT. As Perry's head slammed in to the canvas Fate knew it was over. So he quickly rolled his opponent over and covered him. The ref got down to make the count.

Winner: fate ling0d via Pin

Police Escort


A night of pure chaos has emerged right before are very eyes. With the first incident coming early, as Ivan showed up in a depraved fashion. Taking his rented car and smashing it straight into another. Without caring he didn’t even think to do anything different. Either there was someone in the other car or there wasn’t. Either there was someone going to the hospital or there wasn’t. Luckily no one was in the car and no one was seriously injured, not even Ivan. With that came the fallow up of the aggravated assault and now the cavalry has arrived.

The cop cars had been stopped outside for merely ten minutes before they were given the authorization to make there way into the building but now they have as the storm the building looking for only one monster.

The chief of police was leading pursuit in his blue suit and his right hand on the gun ready to give word to fire upon. They knew that Ivan wasn’t a person to reckon with but this time it would be different. He knew what he did and he was proving a point to each and every person in the back what kind of man he was.

They barged into his locker room kicking the door in and prompting there guns to ready position.

“Ivan you have the right to remain silent…” The chief of police said as he staggered his way to getting closer to him.

“Yah. Yah. Just do what you have to do.” Ivan said letting the police do there job and not resisting the arrest.

Mind Games


The fans began to chant his name, they had looked at the time, there was not much left of the coveted two hour show, so that only left one thing, and that was the SilverHAWK interview. As they chanted and stamped their feet on the ground, their attention was given to the Tron once again that evening, as highlights from the Triple Cage match were shown to Incubus' "Wish You Were Here".

As gasps and woo's came from the crowd, the Tron changed, to a picture of the world title, and then HAWK's face, as a huge explosion changed the music to "seek'n'destroy" as HAWK's que was given.

The fans rose to their feet as HAWK brushed past the curtain, with the ACW World Title slung over his shoulder as he walked down to the ring, brushing hands with fans and posing for pictures as he through the belt into the ring, which almost hit the interviewer, Joey Sellars, and he then perched himself on each top turnbuckle, posing with the title belt.

As things calmed down, as Sellars passed HAWK a microphone, they had to wait until the fans calmed down as they shouted HAWK's name at the top of their lungs repeatedly, apart from the Osyrus fan that is.

"HAWK...just before breakOUT, I interviewed Osyrus for the ACW website, and when asked for his opinion on you, he answered with a typical, egotistical answer. "The old man can't beat me." OH how you proved him wrong."

"You see, Osyrus has to realise something, the boy is green. How long has he been in this business, a year? and yes he has won a number of titles, but you gotta look at those titles and see if they mean anything. First ever X Wrestling X Champion and X wrestling Tag team champion, with KaGe. Decent, but what is the X Champion?? Xtreme? Extremely shit? What?

He has won International titles in NeWave, TV Titles in BWA, he has won Whammy's, and Tag Titles in fEar, but I gotta say, none of them jump out at me as a great deal. Sure he has been around a lot, "whore" comes to mind, but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, he can't handle it. Again, who has he faced for the ACW World Title? SDL? Wombat Guerrera? No offense to Bat, but he's a luchador, not a heavyweight. When it came down to it, Osyrus couldn't beat me in wrestling, he could only BEAT me, and that was with my back turned to him."

"HAWK, as a member of the Older Generation of ACW, you have surprised a lot of people with being able to keep up against these younger guys, what do you say to the people who doubted you?"

"I say they were right, hell, I doubted myself a few times down the road, but you have to realise who I've defeated here in ACW. ICU and Osyrus have now been slain by myself, those are your top two guys supposedly. I had to have two matches on the same night to be beat by ERA, and then he still had to have Winters and Osyrus by his side to finish the job. It just goes to show..."

HAWK was then interrupted, as the lights in the arena dimmed and the Tron lit up, sirens were heard, and murmurs from a ground whom were all gathered around something. As the camera parted the group, it looked down to witness a man in a bloody mess. His head was busted open and a crimson mask covered his face as he tried to get up, but to no avail. EMT's rushed to his side and pushed his head down to the ground, incase of any spinal damage in what had happened to him.

As the fans watched the action take place, they seen a figure rush past them, as HAWK made his way up the ramp and through the curtain. As the camera turned from the crowd, they seen HAWK run towards the mob.

"Razor...Razor."

As he ran towards Razor, he looked at the EMT's as they packed him into a stretcher and then onto an ambulance, HAWK held his hands on his head and looked around as many familiar faces looked around worried, but as his mind wondered, his eyes were fixated on a figure. He was cast in black, but you could see him smiling as he wondered back into the darkness. Leaving HAWK to think to himself and put two and two together...

"Osyrus..."
