The HSBC Arena, Buffalo, NY


Introduction

If you have the talent in this planet to become a wrestler of the proportions of the ACW stars, then your aim is to one day hold a title, if not THE title, the World Title. 

Last week, two men fulfilled a dream, as Osyrus and ICU captured the World and US title respectively. A title shows that you have power, grace and overall you are just the best in the division the bookers decide to put you on, but last week, our two ACW Champions were not celebrating, but they were recuperating, from attacks by two men.

Sepiroth Du Luc and SilverHAWK.

Tonight, we will hear from all four men, and tonight, their actions will be explained, but to the victims, their is no explanation for what occurred...

Conspiracy Theory



It’s hours before the third ACW television program; coming off a good show last week where they found a solution to their problem, the people wanted action; they wanted surprises that would keep them on the edge of their seats and All Star Championship Wrestling was going to make sure the people got exactly what they paid for yet again. Backstage, the newly formed alliance of senior members Boyd, Dunn and Winters happily walked down the hallways congratulating themselves on a tremendous show. 

“I think we have something here.” Winters told the other two members of the ACW staff as all three men stopped in the hallway. Dunn and Boyd look toward Winters puzzled, wondering where he was going with this. 

“I say tonight...we don’t tell the fans what matches they are going to see, we’ll just let the fans take in the show as it happens. In suspense at every moment, like a real live program should be.” The puzzled looks from the other senior members turn to excitement as they seemingly love the idea. 

”As a matter of fact, I say that one of the matches should involve that fellow Aaron Ward.” Winters takes a pause while Boyd and Dunn stand their in suspense themselves, waiting for Winters to finish his thought. 

“That Ward fellow is a hometown boy to the New York area isn’t he? 

What would be better for these NY city fans to see one their own in a match. But you know what, not just in any old match, a match with a mystery opponent of our choosing!! What do you think about that match team?” Winters suggesting his idea, seeing how well it would get over as Boyd and Dunn think it over… 

“That’s a great idea Winters, just wish I would of thought of it first.” Boyd replies laughingly with a smile on his face as the trio continues to walk down the hallway, laughing at Boyd’s joke.

As the three men turn the corner, the smiles and laughter would end abruptly as they stopped in their tracks, because around the corner was someone who was not in a very good mood. Around the corner was someone who had lots of questions that needed to be answered, and Boyd, Dunn and Winters were the only men that could give him those answers… 

”Just the people I wanted to see.” Spoke a voice with obvious anger in it as the individual walked from around the corner. 

”How’s it going champ, I meant to congratulate you last week, but weren’t in a very good mood man.” Winters spoke cautiously as Osyrus moved closer to the trio in a stalking fashion.


Osyrus stood their in front of the three, clad in a dark attire. Black leather jacket; matching black t-shirt with dark blue jeans and shiny black boots. He slowly adjusted his brand new ACW World heavyweight championship belt, that rested on his left shoulder, nothing taking his eyes off all three men. 

Osyrus begins to chuckle to himself, before an evil smirk slowly stretches across his face.

“You know what Winters, I am still not in a good mood.” 

The senior members could tell that Osyrus meant business as they could see the fire in his eyes, and the anger in his voice. 

“What the fuck was that last week after my victory? Were you three responsible for that guy who jumped me after the greatest moment of my career? Let alone ACW’s greatest moment!! Did you guys set that hit up? And if you did, somebody is going to pay tonight! I want answers dammit!!!” Osyrus demands to know answers as the trio franticly tries to think of something, without getting killed by their near 7 ft, almost 300 pounded World champion. 

“We just knew that SDL joined ACW, and was backstage all evening. We didn’t know he was going to attack you after your match thought, that was of his own judgement.” Dunn replied, trying to ease the tension of this situation. 

Osyrus shakes his head in disbelief, as he starts to crack his knuckles. 

"He’s telling you the truth O, didn’t you see how we had those ACW staff members try to pull him off you? We wouldn’t let anyone hurt our World champion now would we?” Winters desperately tried to convince Osyrus of no such conspiracy theory. Winters reaches up to put his hand on Osyrus’ right shoulder, but O snarls at Winters as he slowly draws back his arm. 

“Well you better be right, or I know who I am going to be looking for first.” Osyrus responds as he slowly points at each men, before he continues to walk down the hallway. 

“Whew… that was close.” Boyd lets out a sigh of relief as he bends over, breathing hard in the hallway. 

Winters begins to laugh out loud as both men look at him strangely. 

”Why are you laughing for Winters? We almost got beaten up by that pipe wielding maniac?!!” Dunn wonders confused by the whole situation. 

”Because I like his fire and I can tell this night is just getting started.” Winters exclaims as all three continue to walk down the hallway. 

“I hope you’re right Winters… I hope you’re right.” Dunn’s reply is heard from around the corner.

Up'ing The Ante



It was the first time that the big screen had ever been used in this manner, but it was about to make it's promo use debut, as Ethan Winters' face filled the screen as the broadcast began, in an old Vince McMahon type promo his face grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Welcome to the THIRD edition of ACW Courage, LIVE! on FOX!"

As the camera panned out, the crowd exploded, as they found out that Winters wasn't at the show tonight, but he was infact standing in front of the FOX headquarters in New York.

"Yes, you are correct, I am indeed in front of the FOX HQ and in only a short matter of time, going to have a meeting with one of the heads of Production...why you may ask? 

Well, it has come to my attention that we have indeed made the Bosses in this very building, a little bit angry, so I am here to set things straight with them, but enough of that, I have some NEWS for you people, some GREAT news...

Which will come later in the show, but I'll give you a small hint, we have an un-scheduled match coming up very soon."

The audience groaned as Winters gave the camera a wink and the gun as he began to walk to the FOX entrance, he stopped and turned back around. He motioned for someone behind the camera to give him something and they indeed passed a piece of card to him, which he read and then smiled.

"This is the card for tonight, which you aren't gonna see...anyway, the first match seems to be Wombat Guerrera against eXistenZ, well how about we up the ante a little on that one. If eXistenZ thinks that he can mess with the big boys, we will see just how big a boy he really is, this is going to be a Loser Leaves ACW Match.

Good Night From the FOX HQ...WELL FOR NOW ANYWAY!"

          
LOSER LEAVES ACW
Wombat Guerrera Vs. eXistenZ

"With You" by Linkin Park blasted over the PA system and eXistenZ cringed. It was his second week as the proverbial "curtain-jerker" and he didn't enjoy it, not one bit, but he had to put on a show and a performance, for tonight his job, even though it was only one week old, was on the line. 

Halfway down the aisle, eXistenZ paused, twisted and performed his wink and finger gun pop to a massive pop. He scrambled up to the apron and mounted the turnbuckles, jutting both fists into the air and screaming "I RAWK!" to the fans below him. His crowd-pumping activities were interrupted, however, by Jimi Hendrix. The masked luchador jogged onto the stage to an equal crowd reaction as eXistenZ's, his hair flailing in chaos as he went back and forth between guardrails, slapping hands with his fans.

At this moment, eXistenZ realized this was his chance to get ahead and, as Wombat tore off his tank top, eXi lunged and sent a right into the back of his skull. The referee signaled for the bell and their second match has begun. Last week, Guerrera had taken him to the brink and back and eXistenZ was going to make sure it was not that close this time, he wanted to get this match over as early as possible. eXistenZ had a chance to start off with two wins, main event stardom was on the horizon and he could feel it as he laid into Wombat with right hands. 

Guerrera dropped to his knees and a sitting dropkick sent him to the apron. eXistenZ reached over the ropes and brought Wombat back to his feet by his long, ebony locks. eXi tried one last right handed punch to knock Guerrera to the outside but Wombat blocked and pulled eXistenZ's neck down across the top rope! As eXistenZ stumbled out into the middle of the ring, Wombat hopped up to the top rope for a springboard hurricanranna! He leapt but rapidly realized eXi had seen the set-up and was countering with a spinning heel kick! Wombat tried to stop, and he landed with eXi's foot in his midsection. eXistenZ grabbed a hand full of hair and tights and sent Guerrera sliding out to ringside! The fans got out of their seats as Guerrera smacked into the side of the steel!

eXistenZ made his way out to the apron and stalked Wombat as he made his was to his feet. He finally did and eXistenZ sent him straight back down to the protective mats with a flying clothesline! The fans screamed in pleasure as the high-flying madness that they had seen on television last week was happening right before their very eyes. 

eXistenZ rolled Guerrera into the ring and flung himself over the top rope with a senton splash! The crowd "ooh"ed at the impact and the announcers at ringside prophesized that it was over as eXi made the cover.

Wombat kicked out!

eXi was fine with the failed win; he didn't expect the adrenaline-filled Mexican to give up that easy. Sending a forearm into the jaw of Guerrera, he whipped him to the ropes, hoping for a monkey flip on the return. eXi stuffed his boots into the midsection of Guerrera and decided that the move had been successful. Not so fast. In a call back from last week, Guerrera landed on his feet and jumped up to the second rope for an Asai moonsault! But, it seemed that the panicky eXi had studied his tapes as he stopped the counter with a forearm. The crowd silenced, wondering what he would do next. eXistenZ stuck his head in between Wombat's legs, backed out a few steps and hot-shotted Guerrera over the top rope! The crowd's approval was multiplied ten-fold as eXi immediately followed up with a German suplex!

The bridge was used

No!

Guerrera shot an arm off the canvas and the red-head from Battle Creek, Michigan used a bodyslam to floor Wombat once again. eXi hopped up to the top rope and did the wink-gun pose. Unbeknownst to the crowd, the Mayhem 720° was on the way!

"I RAWK!" 

The words echoed through the stadium as he sailed off the top rope with the shooting star press and hit Wombat's knees!

eXistenZ rolled into a ball holding his gut and Guerrera eyed the opening, using his agility to pin eXi with his puente olímpico roll-up, 2 count! eXi had shifted his weight and gotten out of the hold!

eXistenZ was on the offensive first, firing fists into the mask of Guerrera. He backed the luchador into the corner and began to stomp away! Five boots had already faltered Wombat when Guerrera caught eXistenZ's boot! eXi tried to find a way out of the capture but, before he knew it, he was on his back, a victim of the double-leg-sweep. Wombat flipped onto his back, trapping eXi's legs in a pinning combination! But eXistenZ still had a lot of strength. He wrapped his arms around the waist of Guerrera at 1 twisted onto his feet, breaking the count and, in perfect position, power bombed Guerrera! The arena exploded! 

AND AGAIN HE KICKED OUT! 

eXistenZ couldn't believe it. He slapped his hands on the mat and questioned the referee on a slow count. But the ref did not budge in his decision and eXi, seeing the momentum slipping through his fingers, whipped Guerrero the ropes. Wombat reversed and on the return kicked the thigh of eXi. eXistenZ's back bounced off the ropes and he landed on his feet in the center of the ring, doozey. Guerrera used the segadora to go right into a leg lariat/dropkick combination that sent eXistenZ rolling to the floor!

The audience could see it coming Wombat climbed to the top rope eXistenZ couldn't see it for he had his back turned Guerrera steadied himself, eXi turned Pescado Clavado! 

Guerrera wasted no time flinging eXi into the ring and collapsing over him for the win.

BUT HE KICKED OUT! 

The crowd was ripped over this exciting up-and-down match! 

Wombat flattened eXi against the mat and spring boarded off the ropes for another Asai moonsault attempt! 

eXistenZ rolled out of the way in time but Guerrera shifted in mid-air and landed on his feet! 

They both scrambled to strike first and eXistenZ gained the advantage with a rocking lariat that turned Guerrera inside-out!

eXi could smell the end and he lifted Wombat to the top rope and followed up afterwards! He set Wombat up for a superplex but instead twisted and dropped Guerrera with a front suplex! Wombat used his balance to land on his feet and, to eXistenZ's chagrin, trapped eXi on the top rope by dropkicking his leg out from under him! 

eXi could smell the end. Wombat leapt to the top turnbuckles, wrapped his legs around eXistenZ's head and brought him back down to earth with a hurricanranna!

This was the end. 

No wink-and-gun for eXi. 

He had taken one step forward last week and, in eight minutes, had taken two steps back tonight, as the referee made the third count, eXistenZ was now back on the unemployment status. The bell rang, "Freedom" began to play, and Guerrera picked up his first victory over eXistenZ in ACW! The fans stood at attention, thanking the two for another extraordinary showing and also thanking eXi for what looked to be his last match in the ACW. The fans looked to the big screen as Winters was shown on it, with eXi's contract in his hands, and then seconds later, the tatters of it where laying on the next near him.

Winner : Wombat Guerrera

Takeover



For the second time tonight, Ethan Winters' big mug graced the very large screen in the arena. He seemed to be sitting in a waiting room, obviously waiting for someone, as he had a cup of coffee in one hand and the latest edition of the WWE RAW Magazine on his lap, reading it while drinking his coffee. As he looked up some coffee dribbled from his lips, a look of anguish covered his face as the hot coffee ran down on his neck and into his top, he jumped up from his seat and turned around as he shuffled around before turning back around and looking at the camera.

"Hello...again."

Some of the audience chuckled as you could clearly see the coffee stain on his shirt, but he didn't seem to mind that much.

"Now, I'll be going in there in a few minutes, so I might as well tell you my big announcement right now."

He stopped and looked at his watch, building the tension in the arena.

"Tonight...you will see..."


"ME"

It was SilverHAWK, standing backstage with one of the ACW staff who held a microphone, was he about to get some TV time?

"SilverHAWK tonight...you are going to wrestle in that very ring..."

The crowd in the arena rose to their feet and roared as the announcement was finally made, SilverHAWK would make his TV wrestling debut tonight, but who would it be against?

"But HAWK, you gotta wonder who you will be going up against tonight and why has Winters made a sudden u-turn on your career?"

The microphone was then lifted to HAWK's lips but he refused to speak until he was ready, he composed himself and then took a hold of the microphone, now was his time.

"Winter's thinks that he has made everything all right with me and him now, just because he has put me in a match? 

Don't think so pal...

Last week you had someone attack me from behind with a steel chair to the head, he rang me good, and last week I had to show you that I wasn't the weak little bitch that you thought I was, I took out one of your main men, Ivan Coe Unger, the current holder of one of your crappy belts here in the ACW."

The crowd responded to his name with mixed reactions, it seems ICU still has the fans split.

"Tonight you have put me in a match, but against whom you ask? 

Well to me it doesn't matter who I go up against, as it's obvious that who ever it is, is gonna try and mess me up big time. So to whomever has been asked to mess me up, bring it on Biatch, the HAWK is looking for some pray! What you don't realise Winters is that I've been doing this shit week in week out for longer than you can possibly dream, and you think that pulling a little stunt like this is going to phase me? Uh-Uh son, you're wrong, dead wrong. Tonight is the re-start of the HAWK era in ACW. You see the WWF had the Austin era that came with the Attitude era, and now in ACW, it's gonna be the HAWK era from the kicking your ass era!

Whomever it may be tonight, standing toe to toe with the HAWK, let me just give you this message. You're running errands for little Winters, trying to take me down? Well tonight, Winters will no longer be the boss of you my friend, I'm gonna take the leech as you become my BITCH!!"

With that Hawk slapped down the microphone as it crackled off of the ground, he was coming.

RAGE



Ivan bursts through the locker room as Donavon Daniels, the new rookie reporter, approaches him. Ivan as a callous look on his face as he walks by, Daniels swallows... 

Daniels: Um…can I get a word with you 

Ivan:… 

Daniels: I’m going to make a long story short. I’m new here looking for my first interview and I happened to see you first. 

Ivan:… 

Daniels: Well sir, I think the fans would like to know why you did what you did to poor Thomas Field. 

Ivan: You think I care? I don’t care what they think, and I sure as hell don’t care what you think. You think I need to explain my actions, and tell you why I did what I did. Well fuck that and fuck you! Quit asking stupid questions and get out of my way. I hate it when people ask me stupid questions. 

Daniels looking a bit afraid as he takes a step backwards 

Daniels: Ivan, everyone understands the pain you must be going through, but... 

Ivan is quickly in his face. 

Ivan: BUT WHAT?! 

Daniels: ..... 

Ivan: BUT WHAT?!! HUH?!! Just get out.... go on... 

Daniels turns around and looks at the camera man. 

Ivan: GO ON!! I SAID GET OOUUTT!!!! 

Ivan darts toward the reporter, causing him and the camera man to run out of the room, before turning around to see the door slammed shut, so hard that the knob comes off the door. 

Daniels turns to the camera... 

Daniels: Obviously a very emotional ICU there ladies and gentlemen, and he has every right to be… but the question is, does he have a right to be pissed off at SilverHawk. 

SilverHawk did the only thing he could to get on TV. 

Could this be the very beginning of a relationship built on rage? 

          
SilverHAWK Vs. Unknown Opponent

119 Wins

22 Losses

That is the current record of SilverHAWK in an ACW ring, and tonight, another notch was going to be recorded to another side, but the question was which side, and that more or less depended on whomever was standing across for him in the squared circle. "Seek'n'strike" by Soulfly began to chime throughout the arena as they fans burst out of their seats as SilverHAWK jogged into the arena to an enormous pop, it was clear that most of the arena knew who he was, and that was something he was scared about before the match. he walked casually into the ring and slung himself through the ropes and then jumped to the top turnbuckles to pose for photo's as he stood, with his arms folded, watching as his minions flashed camera's at him right left and center. Upon asking for the microphone he was given it...

"OK Winters...what little dog have you got for me to smack around huh?"

Just as he finished his sentence, the lights dimmed as a few flashes went through the arena and the fans looked at the screen anxiously, but HAWK sat on the top turnbuckle, watching as all the crappy pyro hid his opponent who now stood in between a clutter of flashes and sparks. As the pyro stopped, the man was revealed.



HAWK looked down the ramp as Jacobs began to muscle his way down the ramp, but as he was just about to enter the ring, HAWK stopped him with some more mic work, as he had now jumped down from the top turnbuckle where he had sat for the little firework display.

"Hold on a minute bukko...Winter's signed who to this match?"

Jacobs was incensed that HAWK didn't even know who he was, Jacobs was again trying to enter the ring but HAWK kicked his foot off the rope and motioned for him to calm down.

"Little son, you can get out of this just now if you want? It's not that I don't wanna fight you, hell I think you have some massive testes to even come this close to me, but you do realise that a jobber and a veteran can only end in one result don't you?'

Jacobs smashed his hands against the ring apron as he then climbed up to the apron, only to be knocked back down with a rifle of a right hand by SilverHAWK.

"You do that again son and I'll Mass Transit you're ass!"

Jacobs was about to climb into the ring again, but instead of allowing him to climb this time, HAWK hit him in the chest with a baseball slide, as the bell rang this contest began on the outside of the ring. As Jacobs rose to his feet he was met by three swift right hands by HAWK and then a knee to the stomach, which was then a set-up for his face to be royally smashed against the ring steps, which they were.

As Jacobs' head bounced off the steel, he slumped against the side barricade, which gave HAWK the chance to get a few boots into Jacob's chest. SilverHAWK peered into the endless array of fans and seen literally hundreds of signs for him, it took him back to the pre-TV days, but as he was day dreaming, Jacobs hit him with a hard low blow, which caused SilverHAWK to drop to his knees as he tried to catch his breath from the shot. Jacobs reared to his feet, stumbling all over the mat as he eventually used a combination on the barricade and the ring apron. Jacobs launched into a scathing attack as he hit Hawk with a combo of hard kicks and knees to the head, before picking him up and throwing him over the barricade into the fans and then jumping in and out of the ring to break the count up. Jacobs jumped over the barricade and began another assault on SilverHAWK, but what he didn't think of was the fans, the fans began to push him off HAWK, they pulled him and pushed him, screaming in his face, Jacobs was shocked, just as the Arena Security where, they pushed Jacobs back into the ring as HAWK got to his feet, his fans surrounding him and patting him in the back as he climbed back into the ring and both men began to exchange right hands once again.

HAWK got the better of the exchange as he managed to push Jacobs into the corner and then hit him with a few right hands before Jacobs went for a clothesline, but HAWK caught him with a kick to the gut and then a sharp DDT to the mat, HAWK didn't want to cover the big man though, it would be a waste of time he thought. HAWK pulled Jacobs back to his feet and whipped him to the ropes and then monkey flipped him, and then hit him with three clotheslines as Jacobs just kept coming back to his feet. Eventually, HAWK got Jacobs on the ground and then held him in a half boston crab, before standing up and elbow dropping Jacobs three times.

As Jacobs got up to his feet once again...

breakDOWN!!!!!!!

It came out of no where...

3!

SilverHAWK had won his first televised ACW match, in dynamic fashion. HAWK kicked Jacobs out of the ring and then picked up the mic and began to talk, even though he was slightly out of breathe. 

"Winters...you have seen right here...that nobody is gonna mess me around no matter what size of a lump they are. Face facts Winters...the HAWK is never gonna DIE!"

Winner : SilverHAWK

Regrets

“A plane ride isn’t the greatest thing in the world, especially when you’re a big man like me. At only age 15 I stood at 6’4...279 lbs. My parents would never buy me two seats; we were too poor for that. I always felt bad for the people sitting next to me, it seemed like I always scrunched them to their seats. Denmark to The United States was about a seven hour flight which wasn’t bad when you had all this stuff on your mind. At age 15 I left someone. I left someone who was very special to me. At age 15 I lost half of my heart. I can’t...I can’t let anyone find out.” Monstrosity stated softly.

Charlie Dunn barged into the locker room of Monstrosity.

“What can’t you let anyone find out??” Charlie bellowed

“uh...uh...nothing”

Apologies



Hanging upon a steel door hangs a golden star with the name of "Colin Moses" in the center of it. Looking right into the middle of that star is Brad Douglas. Brad seems to be waiting for something, as we see him he knocks on the door again, still waiting, Colin Moses does not respond. 

In a last attempt to get to Moses, Brad opens the door. We see a shocked looking Colin Moses standing there. 

"Can I help you" he asks Moses, "you could say that I suppose, well anyways I'm new around here and I'm going to ask you nicely since it seems your the only one not booked for a match on courage. So how about it would you like a match with me?" 

Colin just stands there looking at Brad with utter disregard on his face. 

'Speak up, I can't hear you.' 

Not a word still from Moses.

Well you got twenty minutes to respond. 

Brad walks away fast with a look of frustration on his face. As he walks back to his locker room he hears ACW crew members joking. 

"What's so funny" asks Brad 

"You know Colin Moses is deaf right?", one man replies. 

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Yeah he went deaf at 20 years old when his football careers ended" said the other man. 

Brad Rubbing his chin walks off in the outer direction. 

After being the butt of many jokes backstage Brad Douglas now has decided to write to Colin. As Brad walks around his locker room preparing lines. 

He has some ACW crew member write down whatever he says. 

"How's this sound Colin, I asked you earlier today about a match with me, but I later found out that you are deaf from some freak accident. I meant no disrespect to you, freak what I'm saying is accept my challenge for a one on one match. I have two fully fictional ears so go ahead and respond. I'll be waiting for you, think that's a bit harsh brad asks 

"No it seems fine to me." 

          
ACW United States Championship
ICU Vs. Thomas Field

After a brutal match last week ICU came away with the victory. 

Gaining the United State’s title over Dustin Jacobs in not the first but the second battle in which they took to signify who the true champion was. Like the weeks before ICU made his entrance without any music. 

Unlike before though the fans had been cheering for him as if he was something special, the fans remember him being a fan favorite in Russia but this was different. His reaction towards the one these people love, SilverHawk was dignifying the ramification of pure evil. Either way Ivan was coming down to the ring as the new United States Champion with or without the vexing cheers echoing the arena that come from the appalling souls that where laid here on earth. 

The bell ran, as Ivan and Field circled each other. The two men locked forces as ICU muscled his opponent into a head lock, but then showing his own power, Field whipped ICU to the ropes as he bounced off them. Field smacked Ivan with a huge clothesline that left him on the mat face first. Field continued his assault, with aggravation and trying to get redemption for his friend, with lefts and rights to the forehead. 

The crowd began to cheer but after many shots the referee finally broke it up, but it was too late. Ivan laid on the ground stiff as a dead body. Field picked his lifeless body up and dragged him to the corner where he would begin to pound away again. 



The referee made the three count and broke it up again. Field was just not giving up, but as he argued with the referee it left Ivan a chance to gain his life back. Field’s then turns around to expect an Ivan in the corner but gets nailed with the depression (clothesline to hell) almost ripping his head off. 

Ivan then went to the outside leaving Field in the middle of the ring. He grabbed a sign from a front row fan that cheered SilverHawk on and ripped it to shred. The crowd embark on a ferocious chorus of boo’s as he just gave them the bird. Sliding back into the ring he was met with a kick into the stomach from the awaken Field. He then picked him up and put him into a vertical suplex and fallowing up with a pin. 



Not even close as Ivan kicked out with still a count left. Field didn’t stop to argue this time as he picked him up again and dropped him to the mat with a Russian Leg sweep. Going to the top rope for some high flying action, Field climbs to the top rope as the crowd launch a roar of emotion. He leaped into the air crashing to the mat with an elbow drop. The crowd let out a gush of disappointment as Ivan moved out of the way just in the knick of time. They both struggled to get up as the ref began to count. 

1…

2…

3…

4… 

Ivan started to move up to his knees as Field laid on the mat. 

5…

6…

7…

8… 

Ivan got to his feet as Field was still laying on the ground. He went to pick him up but playing dead was the strategy for Field. He gains his energy back from doing it and grabbed Ivan’s ankle tripping him to the ground. 

Field gets to his feet and puts him into the Boston crab. The pain rushing through Ivan is extraneous as he begins to scream in horror. The crowd begins to cheer once again as they are loving the pain Field is putting on him. Ivan moves around wiggling his way to the ropes as he outstretches his arm to just barely snag the ropes. 

Nagging in pain as he reaches for his back Ivan starts to climb his way up with the assistance of the ropes. Field just stands there letting him use his energy to make his way up. He then drags his body to the middle of the ring. He sets him up into the pump handle slam but no Ivan reverses as he slides over his back setting him up for Critical Condition. 

Ivan got up to his feet and began to flip the crowd off once again. The crowd became hostile as boo’s began to roar and the trash was being thrown into the ring. Ivan stood there bad mouthing each and every one of them. 

“Oh you want some. Bring it bitch!” 

Ivan didn’t care who they were or what they were made of; he wanted each and every one of them. He then turned his attention to Field who had managed to get up on his knees but got knocked down with a vicious kick to the face. 

“Now it’s time!” 

Could be read from Ivan’s face as he kneeled down beside Field like he was going to pin him but instead pounded and pounded on the chest of Field as the referee tried to break it up, Ivan’s eyes glassed over as the vicious punches to the chest continued while Field started to cough up blood. 

The referee started to frantically stop the match as the bell rang. He tried to reason with Ivan but he just wouldn’t stop…but he did as soon as he looked down the aisle and seen SilverHAWK sprinting down with a steel chair in hand. HAWK slid into the ring as ICU slid outside, not wanting any further confrontation with the HAWK as both men spat abuse at one another as ICU walked slowly up the aisle not taking his eyes off HAWK. HAWK didn't care for Field, he wasn't trying to help a friend, all he was doing was trying to damage an enemy.

Winner : ICU by Referee's Decision

          
Osyrus Vs. Aaron Ward

"Raw" by Staind picks up on the loud speakers and blares around the arena. The fans give a mixed reaction to Aaron Ward as he makes his way out from the backstage area. Ward tries to ignores the fans, but can’t help to look around the sold out crowd in his hometown. Ward regains his focus as he stares down the ramp at the ring as he continues to walk. He quickly gets to the ringside area, slides under the bottom rope and stands up. He makes his way over to the corner and begins to warm up while waiting for his mystery opponent to arrive. 

Silence fills the arena before the lights start to dim, as red light flicker throughout the HSBC arena in Buffalo, NY. ‘Born with Nothing, Die with Everything’ by Papa Roach rips into the arena. The crowd begins to boo, because they know exactly who is making their way to the ring. The black curtain is pulled back, as the ACW world heavyweight champion steps onto the stage, to another loud eruption of boos. Osyrus ignores the fans as he continues to walk down the ramp way, world title fastened tightly around his waist. He finally enters the ring as he walks past the ref and calls for the microphone. 

”Now, before you idiots in Buffalo get to excited about this next match, let me make it perfectly clear to all of you. This match is NOT for the world title.” Osyrus tells the fans the news as the boos and chants of ‘Osyrus sucks’ fill the arena. “Because a matter of fact, this loser Ward right here… Isn’t worthy enough for a title shot and either is anyone back there in the locker room or even in this crappy arena for that matter.” Osyrus points up the ramp way to the backstage area, keeping the insults coming as the fans start to get restless. 

“So Ward, why don’t you humor me and try to keep up okay?! I promise I won’t you too bad.” Osyrus begins to chuckle, Ward walks toward Osyrus before flipping him off. The crowd cheers as Osyrus smile fades away. 

”If that’s the way you want it, you asked for it.” Osyrus drops the microphone as the ref signals for the bell to ring. 

Both men are in the center of the ring, they slowly begin to circle one another, trying to see who will make a move first. Osyrus, always more aggressive than his opponents, goes for the single leg takedown on Ward, but he jumps out of the way, dodging the move. The two superstars continue to circle one another, but this time Osyrus gets the advantage, taking Ward down with the single leg, floats over in mere seconds as he pounds stiff right hands into Aaron’s forehead. Ward finally pushes Osyrus off of him, as both men get to their feet simultaneously in a quick fashion. Osyrus tries to continue the assault; but Ward shows his resilience, flooring Osyrus with a short range spear, and then follows up with right and lefts of his own to ACW’s controversially world champion. 

The ref has seen enough of this mayhem in only the first few minutes of this match. He tries to pull Ward off of Osyrus, restoring order back to this one on one contest as the crowd boos his decision. Ward struggles to get back at Osyrus, while the champ gets back to a knee. Behind the ref’s back, Osyrus delivers a hard low blow to Ward that instantly takes him down. The negative response from the audience is heard once again, while Osyrus pulls Ward off the canvas as he is in obvious pain, like any man would be. 

As both men stand in the center of the ring; Osyrus slips behind Ward, tucking his head under Ward’s left arm and waist locking him at the same time… Osyrus lifts Ward off the canvas, slowly falling backward, driving the back of Ward’s neck into the canvas. Osyrus wastes no time going for the cover. 

One… 

Two… 

Thr… 

No! 

Ward gets the shoulder up at the last second, Osyrus can’t believe it. The world champion stands up as he demands a quicker count from the ref. Osyrus bullies the ref into a nearby corner, Ward slowly gets back to his feet, the crowd cheers him on tremendously. Suddenly Osyrus is nailed from behind by a forearm from Ward. Shaken, Osyrus turns around quickly, then gets greeted by rights and lefts courtesy of Ward. He then Irish whips Osyrus across the ring, but losses momentum as he drops to a knee, Ward must still be feeling the affects of being dropped on his head earlier by Osyrus…

Osyrus bounces back, dropping Ward with a hooking clothesline across his throat with authority! Osyrus drops to a knee as he once again goes for the cover, wanting to end this match up as soon as possible.

One… 

Two… 

Thr… 

No! 

Yet again Ward kicks out. Osyrus begins to smile at the determination of Ward, but not the type of determination the fans would hope for. As long as Ward kept kicking out, kept getting back to his feet… Osyrus would continue to punish him and the one thing Osyrus liked more than winning championships and proving his invincibility over an opponent… Was inflicting pain. 

Osyrus pulled Ward back up to his feet, but Ward fought him off with hard punches to Osyrus’ bread basket, but they seemed to have no affect on him. He whipped Ward into the opposite ropes; Ward came charging back before being lifted in the air via a waist lock, Osyrus pivoted then slammed Ward down hard with a scintillating Spinebuster called the Hard Way. Ward lied on the canvas writhing in pain, the fans could tell he was in a situation he didn’t want to be so early in this match. Osyrus on the other hand was enjoying the match thus far, taunting Ward to get back to his feet as he kicked Ward in the side of his left arm. Osyrus slowly reached down, grabbing Ward by the wrist as he dragged him to a nearby corner. He picked Ward off the canvas, sticking him in between his legs in a standing head scissors, slowly extending his arms out in a crucifix pose in the corner… 

The fans knew what was coming next. Osyrus told them earlier in the show that he was going to take it up a notch and he came through with his promise. A running crucifix powerbomb out of the corner would spell the end for Ward… Osyrus went to lift Ward up, but he blocked it. Osyrus struggled to get him up through the block, but Ward stopped Osyrus cold in his tracks with an obvious low blow in front of the ref! The ref turned his back, pretending not to see a thing! It was Osyrus last week that broke the rules, so this was a fair turn of play against him as the ref continued the match.

The fans jumped out of their seats and roared with emotion as Osyrus slumped to the canvas. Ward lifted Osyrus off of the canvas via a waist with no problem, placing Osyrus on the top rope. 

Something big was about to happen.

Osyrus sat on the top turnbuckle, Ward looked to the fans as they continue to cheer their hometown boy to victory. He placed one hand on Osyrus’ shoulder, the other in between Osyrus’ legs, pressing him over his head and slamming him hard to the canvas with a super gorillas press slam. Ward with for the cover.

One… 

Two… 

Thr… 

No! 

Osyrus got the left shoulder up in time. Ward doesn’t lose his cool, stomping away in Osyrus before scooping him up, then dropping him on the small of his back with the backbreaker. Goes for the cover again. 

One… 

Two… 

Kick out!

Got the left shoulder up again did Osyrus. Ward slams his fist on the mat, knowing that he has to throw caution into the wind if he wants to pull the big upset over Osyrus. Ward backs up a few steps, winding up for a big running clothesline… He charges in; Osyrus dodges the clothesline, slipping behind Ward as he synchs in a waist lock, before dropping Ward yet again on the back of his head with the German Suplex. Osyrus holds onto the lock as he rolls over onto his back, getting back to a vertical base. Osyrus releases the waist lock for a quick second as he slams stiff forearms in the back of the head of Ward. Osyrus reaches in front of Ward grabbing his left arm and pulling it behind him, he does the same to the right arm, now both arms are crossed in front of Ward’s chest. Osyrus lifts him up, dropping Ward again with another suplex on his neck, as he bridges for the cover. 

One… 

Two… 

Thr… 

No! 

Ward kicks away to the amazement of the crowd. Osyrus is infuriated that he can’t keep Ward down. Osyrus slides out of the ring, fans look on wondering what he is going to do next. Osyrus pulls up the ring apron, frantically searching for something before pulling out a steel pipe! The crowd boos as Osyrus rolls the pipe into the ring, the ref sees the pipe and quickly removes it from the ring. But the ref doesn’t see the other pipe that Osyrus has stashed behind his back as he reenters the ring. Ward gets back to a knee, holding the back of his head. Osyrus pulls out the pipe, slowly aiming for Ward’s skull, but Ward low blows Osyrus for the second time in the match without the ref seeing. Ward picks up the pipe quickly, striking Osyrus in the head with a knock out blow. Ward gets rid of the evidence as he makes the cover, kicking his legs in excitement. The fans count along with the ref. 

One… 

Two… 

Thr… 

No! 

Osyrus’ right foot is on the ropes in desperation. Ward thinks he has the match won as he starts to celebrate in the middle of the ring, the ref tries to tell him that the match is still going on. Osyrus slowly gets back to his feet, before charging straight ahead towards Ward. But he is ready as he scoops up Osyrus onto his shoulders; setting him up for Change, his patented Death Valley Driver. Ward slowly spins around in the center of the ring, about to drive home the victory… But somehow Osyrus slips out of the finishing maneuver, landing on his feet, as he pushes the unsuspecting Ward into the ref! The ref tumbles out of the ring; Osyrus grabs Ward from behind, drops to a knee as he slams his bicep into Ward’s groin area. Boos shower the ring for Osyrus’ obvious pay back on the hometown boy, Ward. Osyrus looks around the crowd, setting Ward up in a Pump handle slam position. Osyrus reaches across Ward’s chest and hooks his head with his other arm, choking him slightly. Osyrus then lifts Ward up and falls backwards, dropping him on his head! Ward lays motionless on the canvas after being on the receiving end of another new move called the Exploder ’02. Osyrus looks down on him, blood slowly starts to trickle down the side of his face. Osyrus touches his face as he becomes enraged at the sight of his own blood. He slides out the ring, grabbing the steel pipe from of the arena floor. He comes back into the ring as Wards starts to stir, pulling himself up. 

That oh so familiar evil smirk from Osyrus appears as he raises the pipe over his head, striking down Ward in the face as Ward goes down yet again. The fans boos their asses off at another disgusting display of sportsmanship from their World Champion. Osyrus slides out of the ring, trying to revive the ref , rolling him back so he can make the count. Osyrus covers. 

One… 

Two… 

Thre… 

No! 

Osyrus pulls Ward up at the last second. The ref looks at Osyrus puzzled, asking him what the hell he is doing. Blood now runs down the face of Aaron Ward, this situation has just went from bad to worse. Osyrus stands up in the middle of the ring. He extends his right arm out, before moving that same arm across his chest, then slides his thumb across his throat. The end is near for Aaron. 

Osyrus picks up the dead weight of Ward onto his shoulder, hooking his neck and legs. Osyrus releases Ward’s legs and throws his body up in the air while rotating Ward’s body in front of him, upside down and facing away from his body. Osyrus grabs around Ward’s torso and sits down, driving him down on his head! The impact of the move alone silences the crowd; Osyrus’ brand new finisher called The Dawn of Oblivion had claimed it’s first victim. Osyrus slowly drops down as he goes for the cover. The ref issues the fastest count ever… 

One. 

Two. 

Three! 

The bells sounds as the Osyrus is announced the winner of the match over the P.A. system. ACW officials rush the ring to check on the status of Aaron Ward., while Osyrus leans against the ring ropes with his world title, looking back at the destruction he has caused here tonight. 


The fans boos turn to cheers as the man known as SDL comes from out of the crowd just like last week. He slides into the ring as Osyrus turns around, throwing his belt down and both men trade right hands in the center of the ring. SDL gets the advantage, blocking a right hand from Osyrus, following it up with punch, then a kick in between Osyrus legs. SDL stands in front of Osyrus, enjoying the pain he is going through… 

Suddenly he takes Osyrus down with a double leg, maybe setting him up for sharpshooter/ Texas cloverleaf combination called the Trepidation, and he does! SDL steps through Osyrus’ legs crossing them tightly, Osyrus tries to squirm out of it. He looks to his left and sees his championship belt laying there next to him, he reaches for as SDL kneels down to add more pressure before turning Osyrus over, but gets clocked in the head with belt! SDL falls backward as Osyrus unties his legs, slowly getting back to his feet. Osyrus stands over SDL, taunting him while yelling obscenities at him like, 

“You want this fucking belt, well then give me your best shot!!” Osyrus demands a fight from SDL before sliding out to retrieve his weapon of choice… The steel pipe. 

Osyrus slowly creeps up behind SDL, who is trying to collect himself after the shot to the head from the championship belt , but SDL has no chance as Osyrus slams the steel pipe in the back of his head! The sound of metal hitting flesh echoes throughout the arena as SDL lays slumped on the canvas. Osyrus drops the pipe next to SDL, picking up his championship belt before leaving the ring.

Winner : Osyrus

Courage



"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! YOU ARE GOING TO PRE-TAPE EVERY SHOW!"

Winters was surrounded by old grizzly men in suits, obviously the men that were the heads of the FOX network, and from what it looked like, he didn't take to kindly to what they were offering him. Winters was now on his feet, at the opposite side of a man who looked to be the boss, as he stood and spoke.

"Mr. Winters would you please calm down, arguing with us will get you no where..."

Winters was enraged, the whole point of a wrestling show was that it was live, people didn't want to read spoilers on the net from people who had attended shows, they wanted to watch it unfold in front of their eyes, live and Winters knew that if they had the live aspect of the federation taken away from them, then the federation would more than likely go to the wall, but the old man continued to speak.

"You're show has got to be edited, if you indeed do want us to show most of your matches and promo's, as they contain profanity and blood loss which is quite frankly gruesome and sickening to anyone watching."

It was now Winters' turn to fight back.

"Get with the time's old man, the people watching wrestling don't want to see a load of crappy cut jobs with blades, they want to see REAL wrestling and this is what ACW gives you. What are the rating's looking like this week huh? I bet they are up, at least double from what we had in the first show, am I right?"

None of the group spoke, as they twiddled their fingers and looked the other way, obviously Winters was right.

"You need my federation, you need us to spearhead you into the fucking 21st century..."

With all the members shaking their heads, Winters walked down to the end of the table and pointed at a piece of paper on the table.

"Rip it up."

The chairman nodded and sighed as he placed the paper in a piece of paper.

"Give me next week and I'll be out of your hair for ever...good day gentlemen..."

Winters walked with a purpose as he passed through the halls of FOX Headquarters, brushing passed several people who watched him pass. As he reached the exit he took a big intake of oxygen and held on to the wall...what had he just done?

He dove into his pocket  and pulled out his cell phone, upon flipping it open and pushing a few options he stood still as he built up the courage to press the call button, which he did.

"Hello...is this...TNN?"
