LIVE! from St Louis, Missouri at 10/9 p.m. CT

PREVIOUSLY... As ACW heads to Missouri after a short hiatus, the morale is low in the company as many issues hang over the roster and the ACW staff. Show attendances are low, and as the ACW staff begin to face facts and begin to book smaller venues, the major investors of ACW have travelled to St Louis, to see if their money is doing anything in the company what so ever.

Quinton Army's Meeting #011



"I'm the one in charge, foo! ME!"

"FREAKING NAH! I AM THE FREAKING ONE IN FREAKING CHARGE!"

"No way, slappy. I'm the one in charge. I'm older, wiser, and way more desperate to get jiggy with girls. I'm the one in charge, dagnabbit!"

006.392 and his pal, Damnson, stared at Howard & Morris arguing. Over who was the person in charge of QA, with Quinton taking a week off to recharge his batteries, after a massive battle over at thReat against Vincent Pembridge. A battle that had started in the ACW. Someone had to lead the troops with the Dictator gone, and apparently, there was some confusion over who the interim leader was. Howard thought he was appointed leader, while Morris thought Quincy had given HIM the blessings.

In actual fact, YOTN, in the midst of a scheme to toughen himself up, was who Quinton had picked as his replacement. But watching the two Janitors arguing back and forth was just too funny. However, one fact seemed to irk the hell out of 006.392 and it wasn't how smelly Damnson was.

"Uh guys, why are you wearing black sweatshirts with the stupid-looking ACW logo?"

Looking down at their attires, Janitor M & Janitor H realised just what 006.392 were talking about. For the first time in a long time, neither were wearing their orange-coloured janitorial suits. Instead, they looked kinda smart on the night. Black official ACW sweatshirts, blue jeans, and black boots. Some might say they looked sexy. Damnson himself, sitting cross-legged in the darkness of the boiler room, thought that Morris's ass looked really delicious due to the tightness of the jeans.

.... Right. Fucked up, ain't he?

"OH, WE ARE FREAKING DOING SOME FREAKING SPONSORSHIP THING FOR THE FREAKING COMPANY!"

"Yes, but the main thing is, I'm the one in charge tonight! ME! MEEEEEEEEE!"

As Howard suddenly burst into a fit of coughing, Morris pointed and laughed at his partner, while 006.392 sighed. He got up from his chair and scratched at the cut on his throat, attained three weeks ago during the groundbreaking 6-Man Scorpion Title Fight. Nobody had expected the kid to last as long as did, but as it was... the final bit of the fight came down to the YOTN himself and one of his greatest enemies to date.

Vincent f'n Pembridge. The Scorpion of Manchester. And now, the Scorpion of ACW. The man who was suspected to be behind the cancellation of Courage the previous week.

"Sorry to burst your bubbles, boys. But Quinton put me in charge tonight. Although, he didn't give me any specific instructions. He just told me to carry out my own mission, along with Damnson. And as for you two, he simply told me to make sure that you didn't get murdered tonight. Other than that, I guess we pretty much can do whatever the hell we want. Like, porn. And oh, porn. Also, porn. Maybe some bumsex, as well."

Howard stopped coughing, and Morris ceased his girlish laughter. 006.392? He was the one in charge, they thought. Deep inside, the two Janitors were resenting this but they could quite understand why Quinton made the decision. In Quincy, they trusted. He always seemed as if he knew what he was doing. And hence, the Janitors were in no position to question the Dictator's intentions.

Seeing how in this case, all the red-haired Canadian wanted to do was mould 006.392 into a fierce competitor. One that would be so methodical in planning, and ruthless in execution. And to achieve that, the YOTN had plenty of tests to experience. One of them was being the leader, of a group that was slowly making waves in the industry. QA was a fresh breath of air, and not what it seemed to be on the surface. That's what Quincy was going for right from the start, and it looked as if he was well on the way to accomplishing that goal.

Morris & Howard looked at each other, nodding. They had to let it slide, although they knew that under normal circumstances, either one would become the interim leader. On the night, however, they had more pressing issues to tend to. It was all about the war with The British Army. Seeing how they were beaten to a pulp at the hands of right-hand man Liam and his assigned group of Brit teenagers two weeks ago, Quincy had made it a point to demand for some revenge.

"So, okay. That's cool. But we have to fight that Liam guy in a while. You know, the newest lackey of Vincent Penis's? Yeah, him. I guess we can do bumsex later, after we beat the hell out of him!" Howard responded, as Morris beamed, already believing that the UNOFFICIAL ACW Tag Team Champions had the match in the bag.

006.392 nodded his head, as he leaned back in his chair and continued reading the comic which he'd put down when Morris & Howard burst into the boiler room, their taxi ride having been one long-ass drive around the city. Once he'd finished the comic, 006.392 was planning to continue the homework assignment handed down to him by the Dictator. It had been ongoing for about three whole weeks, but Quincy had told 006.392 that the longer the assignment dragged on, the better.

And as El Janitors waddled out of the boiler room, discussing strategy, 006.392 looked at his friend Damnson.

"We'll be outta here in a minute."

Damnson looked up, breaking his gaze at the arse of Morris, and giggled.

"SURRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE~!"

And then, he burped. Loudly.

.... Somewhere, Quinton May must have been thinking if it was wise drafting Damnson into The Army.

After All These Years



SilverHAWK was sitting at his desk in his makeshift office in the backstage in St. Louis, Missouri while Joe Bishop was sitting on a sofa to the right. SilverHAWK was looking at some papers on his desk while Joe was reading a magazine. The camera switches to see ACW’s ONLY superstar, Vince Jacobs walking down the hallway toward the office door.

Vince slowly walks up to the door and knocks on the door before entering. SilverHAWK and Joe Bishop both stood to their feet to see Vince Jacobs entering their office without permission. Vince walked toward SilverHAWK’s desk as Joe Bishop stood in front of him. SVJ smiled as SilverHAWK waved Joe Bishop that it was okay.

“Does he sit up and beg to HAWK?” SVJ said as he sat down in a chair in front of SilverHAWK’s desk

Joe Bishop sat down on the sofa again obviously pissed seeing that neither Joe nor SilverHAWK could stand SVJ’s attitude.

“What do you want Vince, I haven’t got all day, some people have to work to get their spots you know, so what do you want?” SilverHAWK said

Vince put both his feet on SilverHAWK’s desk and took one of his cigars out of the box and smiled at HAWK. 

“Why are you in a rush HAWK? I thought we could catch up on old times.” Vince replied

Joe stood up from his seat after hearing enough and walked to the desk and stood next SilverHAWK. Joe Bishop bore a hole into Vince Jacobs.

“Enough of this Vince. Tell us what you want or we may have to escort you out of the arena.” Joe said with irritated voice.

Vince smiled at Joe then he turned his attention back to the man behind the desk.

“You know HAWK won’t escort his big money player out of the arena. He has to much riding on me to just toss me away like that.” Vince said with a smirk. “Enough of this petty bullshit. You know why I am here SilverHAWK. I am here to basically rub it in your face. I am here to show you how big ACW could have been with me here as a full time player.” Vince said

“So that’s it huh, you want to tell me what a mistake we made all those years ago.” SilverHAWK replied back putting his hands on the desk

“Yeah that’s basically what I want. I want you to say how much of a mistake you fools made by choosing Alias… err Christopher over me.” Vince said

Before SilverHAWK could reply SVJ put his hand up to stop him from speaking.

“You know what SilverHAWK, you don’t have to say anything because I am here now after all these years and I plan to destroy Christopher for trying to end my career.” Vince said

“Is that all Vince?” SilverHAWK said

“Is that all? Always straight to the point as usual huh HAWK. Just so you know I plan to end Christopher’s career like he tried to end mine. I have a match to get ready for, Good Day Gentlemen.” Vince said with a smile on his face as he stood up and walked to the door

Vince opened the door and walked out as Joe looked at SilverHAWK.

“I hate him. He’s nothing but an arrogant prick.” Joe Bishop said

SilverHAWK smiled as the two men continued to talk about tonight’s events.

Ignored



The show commenced long ago now, and the fans are finally starting to get into the swing of things. They were watching the tron eagerly as two cars pulled up. The first one was a luxurious white limousine. Out stepped the lovely Jade and her partner Jason Kain. The second one went bumper to bumper with their limousine and was a cheap, pre-historic taxi. Out stepped Hillary Small. Hillary ran in front of them to the nearby drinks machine, where she put some coins into it. As Jason and Jade walked past she spoke…

“Hey Jason, want a soda?” she said in her deep voice, as Jade and Kain, who were currently embraced, separated. Kain had a bemused look on his face and continued walking. “Hey Jason, want a soda?” Hillary repeated this time in a more upbeat voice. Still no response, as Jade and Jason ignored her. 

Hillary kicked the drinks machine as the happy couple walked into the arena. A soda fell into the gap which they usually do when paid for and she looked around before picking it up and drinking it. 

Confrontation Part I



Scene shifts to the backstage area as we can see “Superstar’ Vince Jacobs walking the hallways looking for something or someone in particular. SVJ turns the corner as he passes several wrestlers standing around. SVJ suddenly stop dead in his tracks as he looked to his right and came face to face with a door that had the name ALIAS attached to it. SVJ hoping that his so-called friend Alias would be in the room quickly opened the door and walked in.

Upon entry SVJ noticed that Alias hadn’t even arrived to the arena yet. Vince saw a fruit tray sitting on the table in front of the sofa. He quickly grabbed a piece of pineapple and ate it. Vince laid down on the sofa eating some fruit from the tray.

“This is the life which I am so accustomed to.” Vince said to himself

“I think I’ll wait for Christopher to show up. We have a little unfinished business to take care of.” Vince said

Vince thought to himself for a moment.

“I wonder if he will actually show up since he has time off to heal. Fuckin’ Wuss. Ah well I think I will just sit back and relax.” Vince said

Vince got comfortable on the sofa as he waited for Alias to show up.

Twisting the dagger in my heart



Jade couldn’t stopping thinking about last week. Seeing the man she had strong feelings for; talking to the enemy.. and a trashy looking one at that. As she mopped around the backstage area, her feeling went from bad to worse. Slightly lifting her head up a bit, she saw the one thing that she thought she would never see in her life happen… 

A few feet in front of her; towards the end of the hall way, Jade spotted the skank in the flesh… Isis. There Isis was prancing around in front of some referees, modeling some new face gear. “Like my mask,” she said pulling it close to her face as the refs nodded… but in reality, probably were looking at her plugging neck line and couldn’t tell you what color it was if you’d ask them moments later. 

Jade didn’t mind that Isis was covering her. It would have been better if it were a large, thick paper bag with no holes punched in it… but what disturbed her was that the mask didn’t belong to Isis at all. 

“Where you’d get that?” Jade right in Osyrus’ valet’s face in seconds of spotting her. Isis stopped dancing, turning the expression on her face to a more serious tone as she dropped her arms to her side. 

”From a friend, why do you can any way.. it’s not yours.” Isis was known to have a bitchy temper of her own. Especially when questioned by someone she despised. Isis and Jade weren’t the types that sent Christmas cards to each other . 

”You fucking lying bitch,” Jade paused as she became more and more upset that she couldn’t speak properly… then she continued. “You know damn well that Kain did not give that to you. That mask would never leave his possession, and end up in your filthy, disgusting and trashy…” Isis cut her off before she could finish her sentence. 

“Don’t get mad at me just because Kain doesn’t like you as much as you think he does… or is supposed to. If I were him, I wouldn’t even waste my time on you. I mean look at you; the knotted up hair, the terrible complexion as if you never had a facial. And worse off..” Isis paused as she started to grope herself with both of her hands as the refs looked on just before she rubbed the mask in between her breasts… “Look at your saggy tits and cottage cheese ass. Come on, your nasty looking bitch. No one would be into you no matter how desperate they…” Isis was silenced with a hard opened hand slap to the face. She held her face as Jade was about to go crazy. 

”How dare you call me nasty, bitch. If I were you, I wouldn’t fuck with me or I would kick your scrawny, big tit having ass, all over this backstage area.” Jade started to move in closer as the fans were enjoying the cat fight that was going on. But suddenly the mood behind the scenes changed drastically. 

”Isis, what the fuck are you doing over there?” 

Osyrus had arrived. And that was a bad thing for Jade. 

Still in his denim and leather jacket combo; with dark blue jeans and black boots… he moved in quickly on Jade as Isis stood behind him, pointing to Jade. “You’re in trouble now.’” She said loudly as Osyrus examined her face, which had a big hand print on it. ‘The Beast’ turned his attention back to Jade as he backed her up against the wall, insulting her with every step he took, moving in closer. 

”Did you do that you little piece of shit? How dare you touch her… You’re but a mere peasant to the queen of wrestling, and I am the king… rather the god of it.” He paused as he just stared at Jade with pure anger. She could only see his fiery eyes that seemed to only get redder under the black hood that was on top of his head. Jade would never admit it, but looking into her eyes; you could tell she was terrified. Osyrus was so close to her, she could feel his heaving breaths on her neck… doing head fakes as if he was going to strike her, but did nothing but stare her up and down. Jade stretched one arm back to see how close she really was to the wall as Osyrus stopped the mind games… raising his voice to a higher level. 

”I heard you saying something that you would kick someone’s ass. Did I hear correctly you little nothing?!” Jade said nothing as her face was in stone shock. Osyrus looked back at Isis as she nodded in agreement… in seconds Osyrus’ massive hand wrapped around Jade’s neck, pressing her against the wall. 

”The only one that is going to be kicking people’s asses here is me. No matter who comes into shit hole… No matter how big and bad they think they are… I will be the measuring stick of toughness around here. That is when I leave this fucking place for good. But until that happens; no one, especially some little girl that is claiming to be a wrestler is going to get away with something as heinous as attacking a defense-less woman.” Jade could feel Osyrus’ fingers wrapping tighter around her throat… she let out a small violent coughs as a single tear fell down her cheek. 

”It’s an insult to me that you are even a wrestler, let own wrestle in the same ring as I. If I ever catch you near her or hear anything about the two of you… I will make you sorry that you ever heard of the name Osyrus.” He slowly loosened his grasp from around Jade’s throat… and as he took a step back; maybe Osyrus showed a little, a microscopic piece of compassion for Jade.. She back up more as well.. Either took their eyes off each other, but Osyrus was the first one to blink. 

”Let’s get the fuck out this smelly ass hall way,” The well known heel said, turning his back on Jade as she started to advance on Osyrus. 

”Look out!” Isis screamed out. Turning around quickly, the former was met with a vicious low blow or was he?! 

Osyrus was face to fact with Jade again as he held her right leg in his hand, blocking the attack in time. Jade looked more scared than she did moments before; knowing she wasn’t going to get off easy this time. 

”You fucking bitches never learn do you…” Pulling her in quickly; letting go of her leg, then grabbed Jade’s pony tail roughly. She screamed out while Osyrus yanked her head around like a rag doll, before placing his check to hers. That is when Osyrus planted a soft kiss on her face… 


………. 


……….



……….


……..



WHAM! 


The sound of flesh hitting stone echoed through out hall. A small shriek escaped from Isis’ lips as she tried not to react to what she had just seen. Imaging someone getting tossed face first into a wall was disturbing, but when she saw Jade’s cheek smack as hard as it did… then watching her body crumble to the ground… made her skin crawl. 

”Omar, that’s enough…” She cried out, but she knew there was nothing she could say to make him stop… whenever he wanted to do something to someone he disliked, rather hated. Osyrus looked back at Isis for a mere second, before driving the tip of his boot into Jade’s rib cage. 

”Tell Kain I said Hi.” He snarled before walking down the hall. Isis stopped as she looked down at Jade’s bruised face… wiping a single tear from her eye. 

”Stupid bitch.” She spat on Jade, following Osyrus down the hallway as the couple disappeared from sight.

Hate had extended it’s limit-less arm in ACW. How would Isis-Jade sage tie into the ever growing war between Osyrus and Kain. 

Only time and blood shed will tell. 

Liam Vs. El Janitors

  

"Science" by System Of A Down.

What? The crowd were confused. Who the heck? They'd never heard this song in the ACW before.

Then, they cheered. Wildly. Two men stepped out from the back, and bounced down the ramp, exuberence inherent. They were <b>El Janitors</b> and they were ready to wage a battle in the war between two sets of armies. Quinton's Army, and The British Army. On this night, Howard & Morris would have to take on the new right-hand man of TBA, Liam. A gift to Vincent Pembridge, from The Patterson Agency, in exchange for the Scorpion's services.

Complex? Yes, that's the way it was meant to be. What was written, shall come to pass. Or some bollocks like that.

In any case, the two men rolled into the ring and greeted the fans by raising their arms in the air, generating an even louder chorus of approving roars. In such a short time, Morris & Howard had become cult figures amongst the ACW fans, but they had yet to make an impact in the ring itself. Tonight, they hoped, would be a different matter altogether.

And as their theme song came to an end, the two Janitors focused their eyes on the curtain. Waiting for it to move ever-so-slightly. But suddenly, the lights went out.

Seconds later, as they came back on, everybody in attendance gasped. Liam was in the ring, standing behind the two confused Janitors, grinning sadistically. Morris was the first to realise what could have happened, and as he turned around, Liam charged at him. Unfortunately for the Irishman, the 45-year-old Morris ducked. Coming back off the ropes, Liam was stunned by the big boot-smash of Janitor M's, and the crowd exploded.

Now, the beatdown was on.

Morris & Howard started kicking away at Liam, down on the canvas, in his wrestling debut. You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the Irishman wasn't a pure wrestler, and more of a scruffy fighter. But he had a job to do and it just so happened that the setting for this mission was a wrestling promotion. So, he just laid there, absorbing blow after blow. He might have been 40 years of age, but the years gone by had toughened his body up massively.

So, Liam was simply playing possum. Grimacing as if the blows from the UNOFFICIAL ACW Tag Team Champions hurt a bunch.

Finally stopping the stomping, Morris & Howard picked Liam up and sent him into the ropes. As Liam came back, he anticipated a double clothesline to be thrown at him and hence, easily ducked the attack. However, the Irishman stopped his momentum from carrying him into the parallel set of ropes... and when both Morris & Howard turned around, he drove his right forearm into the face of Janitor M.

Before wrapping his hand around the throat of Janitor H. And in one flowing move, Liam chokeslammed the life out of the senior citizen of the ACW.

"LIAM SUCKS!"
"LIAM SUCKS!"
"LIAM SUCKS!"

The Irishman's face showed no emotion, with regards to the fresh wave of chants that had broken out. He was slightly surprised that he'd managed to garner so much hate in such a short time... but associate yourself with a British Degenerate, and you automatically become Public Enemy #2, eh? Even more so when Liam turned around and grabbed the dizzy Morris by his throat.

Now, Morris is one tall motherfucker. Liam may be well-built, but he looks like a short fuck compared to Morris.

But somehow, the mysterious Irishman managed to lift Morris up in the air and slam him down to the canvas, in yet another chokeslam. It was just amazing to see, but the crowd obviously didn't appreciate the dismantling of their favourite tandem of misfists. However, deep down, they knew that this was more face-saving than a demolition in under one minute. The result, either way, would be the same... but at least El Janitors could walk out of the match with the memories of schooling Liam for just a short while.

Liam wasn't done, however. He pulled Howard up and muttered something under his breath, before ramming his knee into Howard's gut. Doubling over in pain, Janitor H's pain was about to intensify, as the new right-hand man of The British Army clocked Howard with a stinging uppercut that sent him flying into the turnbuckle and bounce right out due to the whiplash.

So what did Liam do? Grabbed Howard by the collar of his shirt and tossed him across the ring, like a sack of potatoes.

"LIAM SUCKS!"
"LIAM SUCKS!"
"LIAM SUCKS!"

The Irishman sniggered, and turned around, focusing his attention on the recovering Morris. Who, in his hand, was wondering how in the blue hell Liam managed to lay him out with a chokeslam. He didn't have much time to ponder over that, as Liam smashed his right fist into Janitor M's face.

It had little effect. Instead, it angered Morris and lit a fire in him.

And amazingly, Morris responded with a right hook of his own. One that almost knocked Liam off his feet.

The crowd were stunned... but before long, they were cheering deliriously, as Morris was now slugging the snot out of Liam, each punch laced with extreme wrath. First, he and Howard had been sneak-attacked three weeks ago. And now, the Irishman was looking to humiliate them in the ring?

"NO FREAKING WAY!"

So, the rabid punching continued. With each punch, Liam felt like he was closer and closer to passing out... but he hung in there. Thankfully for him, Morris decided to stop the slugging. Instead, he looked out at the crowd that were cheering him on, and with an almighty roar... kicked Liam in the gut, following up with a punishing DDT. It was surreal to witness, as Morris was kicking the crap out of someone that was younger and much fitter than he was.

"MORRIS ROCKS!"
"MORRIS ROCKS!"
"MORRIS ROCKS!"
"MORRIS ROCKS!"

As Janitor M stood there, in awe of the overwhelming response he was getting, Liam slowly helped himself up to his feet and snarled at one-half of his opposition. Not liking the pain that was now in his head, the Irishman charged at Morris. But somehow, the latter had anticipated an attack from Liam, as he quickly turned around and drilled the right-hand man of The British Army with a sloppy yet effective powerslam.

And now, with the excitement of succeeding in a match completely truly unimaginable, Morris felt that he had to finish this match off on a high note.

So, he bounced off the ropes and went for a leg-drop. Not just A leg-drop. THE leg-drop. You know, the one that faggot Hogan made fam00s? Yeah, that one. But you know what? You know what? I'm asking you if you know what?

No?

Liam rolled out of the way!!!111

>:O

Getting up, Liam laughed and waited for Morris to get to his knees, before dropping an axe-handle smash to the spine of Janitor M. That stopped any chance of Morris regaining his vertical balance... until the Irishman lifted his knee, and smashed it into the face of one-half of the UNOFFICIAL ACW Tag Team Champions. That shot Morris up to his feet, but not for long.

Courtesy of a stinging roundhouse kick. Deadly, and accurate.

Somehow sensing that he wasn't quite out of the woods yet, Liam turned around, and watched as the fully-recuperated Howard jumped into the air, trying to connect with a flying sidekick of sorts. The Irishman took two small steps to the right, and smiled as Howard crashed into the referee, who was checking on poor Morris.

The oldest trick in the book, made to look easy by Liam, a relative newcomer to the squared circle.

Howard was pretty swift in returning to his feet, not at all concerned about Morris or even the referee. All he wanted was to get his hands on Liam, but as he turned around, it was pretty much vice-versa. Once again, Liam had his hand wrapped around the neck of ACW's senior citizen, but this time... a chokeslam wasn't on the cards. Nope, not at all.

All Liam wanted to do was squeeze the life out of Howard.

Morris saw this, and rolled out of the ring, dropping to the floor. He wasted no time in having his hands rummage under the ring... and within seconds, rolled back into the ring, head still throbbing from the roundhouse kick. However, now... he had a chair.

And with the referee down, Janitor M promptly took advantage of the situation.

*CR-RRRRACK*

A sickening shot to the back of Liam's head, whose grip on Howard was extinguished... and he himself dropped to his knees, sharp pain running throughout his upper body now like a shockwave. Morris roared amongst the *massive* pop that had been generated, but as he raised the chair above his head, preparing to unleash the knockout blow, there was a twist.

A man, who looked pretty mean, came out of nowhere and jumped into the ring. Spinning Morris around, the man knocked the 6'7" giant out with an amazingly wonderful jab. One jab, and Morris was on the mat, out cold. Howard, by then, had recovered again... but he too befell the same fate. One side-jab to Janitor H's gut, and a knockout uppercut to add the exclaimation point.

The man, who surely must have had some kind of boxing experience, climbed out of the ring and made a hasty exit, admist the undeniable aura of hate hanging heavy in the air. Liam, who was oblivious to the entire thing, looked over his shoulder and noted that both his opponents were out cold. You would expect him to be confused now, yes?

Instead, he smiled. And placed his body across Janitor M's, just as the referee recovered;

ONE......

TWO........

THREEEEEEEEE.

And that was the end of the match. More jeers began to evolve, as some fans took to tossing trash at Liam. However, the Irishman had already slid out of the ring by then and quickly made his way up the ramp, satisfied with the victory. It wasn't as easy as he would have liked it to be, but the job was done. Albeit with some assistance.

In the ring, Morris & Howard were still out cold...

Winner: Liam

Confrontation Part II



The camera pans backstage again as the crowd erupts to see ‘The Original Pulp Hero’ Alias walking into the arena wearing a pair of blue jeans and a ALIAS t-shirt. Alias walked down the hallway shaking hands with some of the stagehands and officials. He turned the corner and walked toward his dressing room. Alias opened the door to find Vince Jacobs sitting on his sofa eating fruit from his fruit tray.

Alias’ first reaction was to pounce on the self-proclaimed superstar for his attack last week in the ring. But Alias showed some restraint as SVJ sat up on the sofa smiling at him. Alias looked at SVJ with an irritated look on his face.

“What are you doing in my dressing room Vince?” Alias said

Vince stood up never taking his eyes off of Alias as he went to the small refrigerator and got himself a bottled water. Vince sat back down on the sofa with a smirk on his face answered Alias’ question.

“I am waiting for you of course, Chris.” Vince said with a monotonous tone

“You have a match in a few minutes Vince, so let’s get on with this.” Alias said

“Chris I just wanted to ask you a simple question if I can.” Vince replied

Alias visibly growing irritated more and more by every word that came from Vince’s mouth.

“What is your question Vince?” Alias said

“You should know what my question is but since your playing the dumb role right now I can tell you. What the fuck kind of friend are you, Chris?” Vince said angrily

“Vince you know you would have done the same thing.” Alias said

Vince stood up and walked closer to Alias as the Original Pulp Hero stood his ground with a close fist ready to attack if Vince tried something. Vince gave Alias a sly smirk.

“You know what Chris, you are right I would have done the same thing but I would have finished the job unlike you.” Vince said staring right in the face of Alias

“But don’t worry because I plan on making what happened in the past a distant memory compared to what I have in store for the future.” Vince said as he walked to the door

“Do what you must Vince but remember I know you better than you know yourself.” Alias said with a sly grin

“You don’t know jack shit Chris. But you will know what pain feels like very soon. Mark my words very soon.” Vince said as he walked out the room closing the door behind him

“This has to end between the two of us.” Alias mumbled to himself.

Quinton Army's Meeting #011



"Patiently Waiting" ran through the P.A, as ACW Television Champion A*Dubbs walked out to start of the steel stage, implanted for his walking pleasure. With confidence, he began walking, but stopped for a couple seconds. The fans halted their verbal hate to watch his movements. A*Dubbs did not take much longer leaving them in suspense, as he pointed to the uppermost part of the stage below the ACWtron ala Razor Ramone style, and his infamous partner in crime, stepped out. 

108192. 

The fans screamed even louder, at the man who almost came to the rescue of Dante Inferno two weeks back, dating to the last ACW Courage. 

"Fuck you." Could be interpreted by fans close to 108 at the time he stated it. Dubbs followed him after shaking his hand, loving everything about the moment at hand. His artwork had paid off, and now he headed towards the ring to brag about it. 

"Ya know, A*Dubbs hates to be the one to bring bad news to his fans tonight, here in St Louis, Missouri, home of the fakest thugs in the history of the rap game, the St. Lunatics." 

The fans boo'd their heads off, for not only did he just insult rappers who put St. Louis on the hip-hop map, but he had even worse news then him being in the arena. 

"You may be wondering why A*Dubbs is using himself in third-person. Well, A*Dubbs is bout to letcha know. A*Dubbs, quite simply fans, A*Dubbs, IS PAID. And when you're paid, when bitches are comin to you in tha thousands, then nucka, ain't no shame in statin tha name. A*Dubbs is the name ya'll like to hear, I know it, you know it, and by the zero's in my check eurry week, dem' exec's know it too!" 

The boo's turned into chants, the verbal communication became physical as some tried throwing their complimentary beer bottles into the ring. Security quickly stopped the winging of cans, but the chants would not cease. 

"ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE!" 

"Heh. Cry till ya baby daddy's come home to see that ugly ass chillun you got, I don't give a fuck. In fact, I'm tired of smellin ya'll nuckas, therefore, I'll cut to the chase. Last week on Courage, ya'll witnessed the start of raw power. The start of a force that can't be fucked wit, two niggas without knowledge of relenting. 

If you still don't know what I'm talkin about, and I wouldn't put it past ya'll, after all the majority of this place is hooked on phonics positive, but noways, I'm talkin bout the deadly force of 108 and A*Dizzle. Last week, we put that sorry nigga Dante Inferno out of the game. Shiiit, we fucked that nucka up so bad they had to cancel the SHOW to afford the help he needed in the ER!" 

108 smirked, as A*Dubbs paused to smell what the fans were throwing out at him. Mixed chants between "WE HATE YOU" and "A-DUBBS SUCKS!" were amidst the audience. 

"Dante Inferno. What a muthafuckin' joke, dude can't pull his weight wit' me, never could. Sent his boy Geo Vacton at me, I put him out of the game. You can find dude at your local 7-11, told me to tell ya'll slurpies are on sale for the remainder of the week. Who you bout to send out next? Is Big-bad Papa Inferno about to come see me? You bout to send your sister out? Ya mafuckin' gramps? Who?" 

A*Dubbs was far from finished, before 108192 asked for some mic time, to the fans delight (to finally be finished with A*Dubbs voice, for the time being at least.). The happiness soon after turned into jeers however, as 108 began to talk himself. 

"A*Dubbs, I think he's going to fight his own battles this time man…" 

A*Dubbs couldn't take it. He snatched the microphone back .

"What the fuck?! Are you jokin'? Kid wants to come see me himself now? Pffft we could do that shit right now. Get tha mafuckin ref out here, along with Inferno's ass, LETS DO THIS!" 

"I Stand Alone" by Godsmack tore the arena apart with it's vocal along with instrumental sound. A referee came out, questioning the sincerity of A*Dubbs demands. The fans got on their feet, waiting the arrival of their newfound hellraising hero. They waited.

And waited.

No one showed, and A*Dubbs laughed. The music stopped. 

"As I thought. 108, I ain't got the slightest as to what you were thinking, cuz hell will freeze over before this nucka gets enough balls to get in the ring with the CHAMP. I don't know why you cheer for that chump kids, dude ain't got enough balls to bust a nut, dude's dick is as big as my" 

Suddenly, certain music replaced A*Dubbs voice. Both 108 and A*Dubbs faces bolted towards the entrance ramp, as it only took them, along with the fans, literal seconds to recognize the un-ACW aligned music. This music was different, something the ACW had never heard before. But the WWE, along with the wCw had. 

For the music, was that of Goldbergs. 

A*Dubbs circled the ring hesitantly, waiting on the beast to emerge from the stage, as 108192 got into his fighting stance, with eyes wide open. 

The entrance ramp remained quiet, before men came out to each side of the stage, with certain objects in their hands. The man, the myth, the legend stepped out of the curtains, and the fans let out an enormous cheer. 

That was, until they saw exactly who was standing there. 
Small pyro was lit, and coughing could be seen, as the loser, the mistake, the loser tried his way through the sparklers. 

It was Gillberg. 

But something was changed, something wasn't normal, for Gillberg was not wearing his usual Goldberg-like tights, instead, he was wearing that of Dante Inferno's. A*Dubbs, realizing this, took the first initiative to address the issue. 

"CUT THE MUSIC!" The music came to a halt, as Gillberg stood on the middle of the stage. 

"Um, what are you doing?" 

A microphone guided Gillberg's hand, as he addressed the question. 

"You said you wanted some!" The fans gave an enormous jeer to the statement. As if Gillberg was going to touch either one of the men standing in the ring. 

"Dante. I was joking around when I said I wanted a piece of you kid! But honestly, if you wanna go, I'm a fighting champ, I'll give you a shot!" 

The jeering did not end, as Gillberg rose up his hands. 

"I am THE HELLRAISER, HEAVEN HAS MET HELL, DANTE DOKIC IS IN THIS BITCH LIKE A TORNADO IN A STORM, I AM THAT NUCKAAAA!!!" 

A*Dubbs bowed his head covering his mouth in laughter, before his head shot up at the Dante Inferno imposter. 

"Did you just take my line?" 

"DOKIC DOES AS HE PLEASES!" 

"Ring the bell." 

The bell rang, as 'Dante Dokic' stepped into the squared circle. A*Dubbs did not wait to get him some, short-arm clotheslining the smaller build of 'Inferno'. He picked Dokic up, and soon after dropped him back onto the ground with Tha Electrifyer, a version of the Diamond Cutter. 

He rose up from the impact, and gave his usual trademark smile, before pinning the unconscious 'Dante'. 

1...


2...


3!

It was over as soon as it began, as A*Dubbs rose his hand in triumph. As soon as the match started, along with his quick victory, could not be compared with how quick 108192 entered the ring with his eyes set on the ramp. 

For Dante Inferno was running straight towards it. 

He slugged 108 in the face with a right, and sent him flying with a roundhouse right to the dome. A*Dubbs hesitated before going straight for Dokic, but Inferno was too quick as he turned his attention to Dubbs before slamming him to the ground with a Snap DDT. Dubbs rolled out of the ring not wanting any more for the moment. He was safe. Unfortunately for his partner though, 108192 wasn't. 

Inferno watched Dubbs walk out, before noticing the body rolling to his feet. Dante grabbed 108, delivering a sharp Heaven/Hell finishing maneuver, which laid 108 out. Dubbs put his hands on his head, before running back to retrieve his partner, as well as a microphone. 

Helping 108 out of harms way, Dubbs spoke. 

"You! You bitch! You want a piece?! Tonight, you and whoever the fuck is crazy enough to tag wit yo punk ass, against Tha Unit nucka!" Dante shook his head in an agreeing way. 

The tag match was on.

Finally Fucking Here...



"Fucking hell Tam, traffic in this fucking country is mental, they've gotta sort it oot."

"No shit Hammy, see that mental fucker coming up the hard shoulder...mad cunt almost took our side mirror off, don't get that in Glasgow neither you dae."

"Sure don't mate, they'd just steal it, nae point pissin' about!"

The two "friends" laughed to one another as they walked through the ACW arena for the first time since their phone call from Joe Stern a few weeks ago. It seemed that a tag team division was on the horizon in ACW as they tried to broaden their horizons.

These two gentlemen.

Tam McKilloch and Hamish Ferguson.

Were the respective futures of the ACW tag division, along with a few more tag teams which were coming in the next few weeks. Known around Europe as the Flying Scotsmen, it was now their chance in the big time. 

The United States.

As they walked around the ACW arena, they received a few strange looks from the staff and a few of the wrestlers...

"Yeah...keep looking! They're fucking skirts ok!" Hamish balled at the onlookers as they quickly turned away from the 6'4'' Scot, before another huge man came into the fray.

"Ahhh...Tam, Hamish, good to see you finally made it here, how was your flight in?"

"Mr. Stern, good to see you in person," Tam said, "but yeah the flight was good, some arse on that stewardess, some arse by the way, thanks for that."

"No problems...why don't you come with me and we'll sort out your contracts and we'll tell you just what we have in our plans for you?"

"Nae bother big man!"

As Hamish and Tam followed one of the ACW staffers, they looked around their new home, and knew, that this was their chance to show everyone just what they were made of, and it wasn't just ginger hair and alcohol. 

.vindication - formation



Liam opened the door to his locker-room, and promptly enough, WAVE 1 of The British Army rose to their feet. Chests stuck out, arms by their side. Liam smiled. He had to admit, Vincent Pembridge had made a smart move getting a bunch of restless and unruly British teenagers involved in his business. And now, as he was part of this messy yet intricate masterplan, the Irishman couldn't have asked for a better form of assistance than WAVE 1.

However, as he looked at them, Liam could tell that they were somewhat peeved.

"What's the matter, lads?" he asked, leaving the door open as he leaned against it, arms folded. The exertions of taking part in his first sanctioned wrestling match had him panting slightly, and sweating profusely.

But the fact of the matter is, the advantage in the war now rested in the court of The British Army.

"Nothing, Sir. Just that... well, who was that bloke who helped ya out in that match? You had instructed us to stay here, for the sake of not interfering. And yet, there was some git who helped ya take care of those buggers, the Janitors! What's that about, Sir?!"

Smiling, Liam looked over his shoulder, and into the room stepped the man that had 'helped' Liam in his battle against El Janitors earlier. Every single one of the Brit teenagers were taken aback, including the one who'd mustered the courage to question the Irishman of what had gone on in the match. Liam looked at the boy and slowly walked towards him, the look in his eyes indicating that he didn't appreciate being bitched at.

The boy, with Liam inching closer and closer, started shaking in his boots. He knew that he'd made a mistake by speaking out, and was regretting his actions just a few seconds ago.

"Lad. This man here is an old acquaintance of Vincent's. And recently, the three of us had a little chat, over a spot of Aunt Rosie. See, we worked out a little plan, to ensure that whatever we're working for, can be accomplished in a much more satisfying way. This man is Drake Nefarian. He's a former boxer, and a bloody good 'un, from what I understand.

Ye want to know what it's all about? .vindication is the keyword here, lad. It's the driving force between everything the Senior Partners have mapped out for The Big Picture. Something which you are just a minute part of.

Now, the next time you have an outburst like that... I'll murder ye family."

The boy gulped, and nodded apologetically. Liam snorted, and turned around, walking back to the mysterious helper now identified as Drake Nefarian. And apparently, he had a connection to Vincent Pembridge. Which made this whole situation all the more frightening, for QA and anyone who stood in The British Army's path.

..vindication had undergone its formation. The countdown to Armageddon... had begun.

Literally, folks.

Hey Dante!



Dante walked from his dressing room to get some bottled water, before being confronted by a smaller sized kid.

"What's up man?" The young man spoke, as his face beared a striking resemblance to a current ACW superstar.

That being because he was one. 006.392 looked at the big man.

"What do you want?"

006 took no time to respond.

"I saw what happened. And 108192 deserves payback for the shit he did to my pals way back when. I want to tag with you tonight." The fans sitting in the arena roared.

"Are you serious?" Dante obviously wasn't taking the offer past a laugh.

"I'm serious. You may think I'm just some punk who was recruited by Quinton's Army simply for the fact that I'm an outcast to society as well as humanity.. .and you may be right... but I am a quick learner. I'm adjusting to this game quickly, and I won't be dead weight in your corner."

"Ugh." Dante thought to himself, 'Didn't have a partner anyways, might as well have someone to guard my back, or at least warn me when they're comin'.'

"Alright kid. But this is how it works..."

Dante took 006 into his locker room, shutting the door behind him.

The Last Straw



Kain and Jade walked out of the locker room. The two showed no distraction from the upcoming matches for the night. They walked down the hall hand in hand, ready for any type of challenge, which may come their way.

Heading towards the refreshments table, they passed a few wrestlers. Namely one, Hillary Small. Pushing her to one side of the hallway, Jade and Kain grabbed a Coke and sat together in one of the larger, leather chairs. Jade on his lap. 

Hillary was furious. 

Beside the large leather chair that the two were occupying was a wooden, uncomfortable looking chair. Guess who was now occupying it…..yes, you guessed right, Hillary Small. Jade and Jason Kain seemed uncharacteristically uncomfortable as they each gave unwelcome looks to Hillary. 

“So Jason, how’s your day been so far?” Hillary asked.

Jason stood up in a cool calm voice before sitting on the edge of Hillary’s chair. “Look, lady – I don’t know who you are or….for that matter…..what you are, but please, please can you stop hassling my girlfriend and I. It’s not that I’m prejudice to you because of your….looks but um…we would really like you to leave us alone. And also I think you need to learn a few manners, as you’ve been shoving us around lately.” 

That was the last straw for Hillary. 

Next week it was time, time to make her move. 

Chad Stalin Vs Vince Jacobs

  

“Ring Superstar” by Cypress Hill hit the arena’s airwaves but was quickly drowned out by the supply of boos being offered from the audience. ‘Superstar’ Vince Jacobs stepped from the back with an ever-arrogant grin on his face. The self-proclaimed ‘God’ strutted casually to the ring and slid in. SVJ posed for the booing fans for a bit before his ego-fest was interrupted by... 

“Spit It Out” by Slipknot. The pace-setting tune roared over the PA system and caused the fan’s boos to transform into cheers. From the back came ‘The Bulldozer’ Chad Stalin. Every muscle on his body seemed to be pulsing. The Boundary Breaker was already glistening under a mixture of sweat, baby oil, and water. There was no smug smile on Chad’s face. There was no posing, no strut to the ring. Chad stood at the top of the ramp for a moment, his eyes burning a hole into SVJ, and then Chad walked down the ring. He climbed up the steps and through the top and second ropes into the ring. 

Chad stood in his corner waiting for the bell to ring to signal the start of the bout. He tightened the tape around his wrists and tugged on the top rope a few times. 

DING DING. 

That was it. As far as either of these men were concerned...that bell was signaling the other man’s time to face the reaper. 

Both men walked slowly to the center of the ring and stared at each other intensely. SVJ instigated the action with a right hand. Chad came back with a left of his own. The two men exchanged blow after blow until Chad finally got the advantage. Chad hit SVJ with a right hook and quickly followed with a European uppercut that made SVJ’s head rattle. 

Chad whipped SVJ into the ropes and ducked down for the rebound, planning to send SVJ over him with a back-body drop. The Superstar, however, saw the hunched over Chad. SVJ came running back towards Chad, hooked his head, and executed a beautiful spinning DDT. 

The crowd booed. 

Chad laid on the ground, staring at the ceiling, counting his breaths. He was hoping some time would elapse before SVJ moved into add on some more pain...time for Chad to regain himself. No time would be wasted though, SVJ was too much of a veteran to allow something like that to happen. 

SVJ reached down and grabbed Chad by a handful of hair and quickly brought him to his feet. After driving a few elbows into Chad’s jaw, SVJ lifted him into the air. The impact of the two men landing was frightful to say the least, and the arena bit back gasps. 

SVJ was quickly up to his feet, however, after hitting a move he liked to call the ‘Starburst.’ 

Skipping no beat, SVJ hopped to the top turnbuckle and looked down at the fallen Stalin. Vince took the time to mouth off to one of the fans in the front row before soaring off the top rope. 

Garnering some amazing hang-time, Jacobs would have completed a beautiful ‘Five Star.’ The only problem was-Chad rolled out of the way at the last minute. Vince Jacobs hit the mat hard and turned onto his back, writhing in pain. 

Chad had used a lot of energy to roll out of harm’s way, so now he laid on his back as well. The referee started a count. 

1... 


2... 

3... 

Chad started to show motion first by propping himself up with one hand. 

4... 


5.... 

SVJ grabbed hold of the middle rope and started to pull himself to his feet. 


6... 


7... 


8... 

Both men had found their way to their feet now. Vince shook his head to free his mind of the cobwebs to accompany a painful impact like the one he had just had. 

He was too late to see the ‘Human Wrecking Ball’ charging towards him. 

Chad knocked the wind out of SVJ with a hard running knee lift. SVJ hunched over and Chad forced him down with a DDT. 

Chad went for the pin. 

1... 


2... 


NO! 

Of course not. It would take much more than a simple DDT to wipe finish off Vince Jacobs. 

Stalin climbed to his feet and drove his boots into Vince’s ribs a few times before grabbing Vince’s legs and draping them over his shoulders. Chad proceeded to grab Vince’s tights and use them to lift him in the air. 

The liftoff was short-lived though. 

Chad sent Vince right back down with a devastating powerbomb. Then Chad lifted him again, and then powerbombed him again. 

Chad went for the pin once more. 


1... 



.....2 



.........THR- 


NO DICE! 

Vince Jacobs dug deep enough to kickout once again. 

Chad got to his feet, now feeling a bit of frustration rush through him. He stood over Vince and decided it was time to put the nail in the coffin. 

Chad hooked Vince’s legs and went to turn him over. 

If Chad could lock on the move he called ‘Bulldozer’s Bliss’ then the match would be over. No opponent could resist tapping out to this injury-inflicting move. 

Chad turned Vince over!!! 

The fans started to cheer, they knew this match would be over if Chad could just get his foot on Vince’s neck. 

And Chad did. 

The referee began asking SVJ if he gave up. SVJ desperately fought the urge to tap, looking for an opening...some way to escape this horrible agony. He saw his path of escape out of the corner of his eye. 

With all his might, Vince Jacobs reached...and it worked. Vince’s middle finger barely wrapped around the bottom rope. It was just enough though. The official made Chad relinquish the hold. 

Chad yelled at the ref now, in frustration...SVJ should have tapped. While this wasn’t the referee’s fault, Chad could find nobody else to yell at. Chad’s anger offered SVJ an opportunity though. 

Before Chad knew it, he was sent spiraling over the top rope...courtesy a clothesline from Vince Jacobs. 

Jacobs slid out under the bottom rope and began pummeling Chad on the outside. 

Chad started fighting back, and the two men were engaged in a heavy brawl outside of the ring. Vince whipped Chad, but Chad reversed it and sent Vince into the barricade. A loud SLAP resulted. 

Vince hunched to the ground and Chad rushed towards him and went to drive his knee into Vince’s nose...but Vince ducked out of the way and Chad’s knee slammed against the hard barricade. 

Chad screamed in pain and fell to the ground next to the downed Vince Jacobs. 

Both men heard something they weren’t expecting to hear. 

The bell rung. 

Then they heard it announced. 

The match had resulted in a double count-out!! 

Chad started to feel rage bubble throughout his body...he brought himself to his feet and slid into the ring. He was about to make a beeline for the referee when music caught his ear. 

“X Gonna’ Give It To Ya’” by DMX. 

Chad knew what that meant. 

Jason ‘The Animal’ Reaves came running down to the ring...the audience was booing loudly. He slid into the ring and him and Chad immediately began exchanging hard blows. It looked as though Chad was starting to get the upper hand...but Vince Jacobs joined the fray. 

SVJ and Jason Reaves had the number advantage, and they brought down the beast known as Chad Stalin. He sprawled out on the mat and tried to escape consciousness to avoid the pain being driven into him by the two men. 

Then, for some reason, the crowd began cheering. 

And the pain, for some reason, stopped. 

Chad opened his eyes and saw Alias in the ring dividing his blows between Vince Jacobs and Jason Reaves. 

When Chad saw this, he felt a new energy rush through him and he got to his feet. Chad went after Jason...and Alias focused on Vince. 

Almost simultaneously, Chad drove Jason over the top rope and Alias forced Vince out of the ring. 

As much as Vince Jacobs and Jason Reaves would have liked to charge back into the ring, they thought better of it and backed up the ramp while screaming towards the two men in the ring that they would get their revenge. 

Vince wasn’t wearing a smug smile anymore. 

Now it was on Chad Stalin’s face. 

Winner: Double Count-out

Cutting Costs



"So it's true then? Dunn and Boyd have been taken in for questioning?"

Jimmy Gonz nodded his head in dismay, as did the rest of the "Guardians" as they were being called by the fans of ACW. It seemed that even though it was only supposed to be routine questioning, with no charges, the whole of ACW seemed to think that this was the end for their company. As with the two owners in jail, surely ACW would be taken over somehow?

"So what happens now HAWK?" Stern asked, as he had earlier wrapped up and contract with a brand new ACW tag team. "Are we gonna have to start thinking about letting people go or what?"

HAWK pondered for a moment.

"I think everyone knows about our situation, and to make matters worse I hear the ratings have slowly went down by a full 1.0 since Legends...that cannot be good."

"Guys..." Fonzi butted in, "Dunn and Boyd haven't been charged yet, so at this point, why don't we just run the fed as usual, and hope for a minor miracle when it comes to good old Dunn and Boyd."

"Agreed." They all said...as HAWK stood up from his seat.

"But we have to take some things into consideration, initially, Winters gave these guys big time contracts, we've gotta speak to a few of them and ask them about lowering it, because at this rate, ACW won't survive till the end of the year with the money some of these guys are sucking in. So, Joe, I want you to make sure all the new guys get the same deals, and I mean the same low end deals. I know we've hired a lot of new blood the last two weeks, but we've gotta be clever about this.

Fonzi, I need you to talk to a few of the current wrestlers about their contracts and what their plans with them are, we need to try and get them contracts that fit their stats in the company, as well as not take the fed to the cleaners.

I'll talk to the big guns...and also...we've gotta change our contracts too."

The Guardians smiled to themselves as they talked about giving themselves pay cuts, but as they all moved to their seperate tasks for the day, HAWK walked towards the biggest locker room of them all.

ICU 

Hate



Fatal attraction?!?! 

You know what they say, Misery loves company…

The ACW backstage hallways. Where just as much action happens there, like it does in the ring. And tonight would be no different. Jason Kain slowly walked down the corridor, after seen leaving his dressing room. A few fans react to seeing the young superstar; but the cheers turn to jeers as Isis pops out of nowhere. 

”Where you going hun?” She yells out from the opposite direction that Kain is walking toward. He stops for a second; Isis jogs over to his position. 

”None of your damn business, that’s where I am going.” He looked back as he shot her a mean stare before continuing forward. 

”So have you thought about my proposal from last week? The offer still stands if you’re interested.” Isis puts her hand on his shoulder as the two of them walk down the hallway. Actually, the two aren’t walking together… Kain walks faster to ignore Osyrus’ vivacious valet, while she just follows him into the unknown. 

”You’re still back there? Don’t you get a clue bitch? I am not interested in your pathetic little offer!” He turns around as he pushes Isis up against the near by wall. 

”Oh, I see you like it rough! Me too!” Isis started to get excited, just when Kain took his hand off of her. 

”Is there ever a time, when you’re not playing the role of the town slut.” The crowd laughed in the background; Isis sighed angrily.. Kain continued onward as he is still bad mouthing the self proclaimed ‘Queen of Wrestling’. “… And speaking of rough, I see that Osyrus is beating you again. Nice shiner.” Isis starts to smile after Jae’s last comment… something evil was on it’s way. 

”Actually shorty…” Isis chimed in, seeing how she was a whole two feet taller than Kain. “… I got this from your little psycho girlfriend… what’s her name again?” Isis scratched her head she ponders the name. JK turns around, thinking what the hell she is talking about. 

”What do you mean you got that from Jade? What the hell did you do to provoke her to kick your ass?” Kain pushes Isis up against a wall again. 

”I didn’t do anything to her. I was minding my own business when she attacked me… so I had to rough her up. Didn’t she tell you? Well actually, I didn’t touch her… your best friend did.” Isis pushes Kain back, moving in front of him as she re-enacts the scenario. 

”… When you mess with me, you mess with Osyrus. Then you get your face slammed into a wall. You should know that better than anyone.” 

”FUCKING OSYRUS!!!!!” Kain bellowed into the hallway as his voice echoed into every direction. At that same moment, the sound of Osyrus’ theme is heard in the background… Kain looked around; hearing the noise level get louder as he pushed Isis out of his way. 

Kain ran down the hallway toward the ring; only to be stopped by Silver Hawk and four other large men. “Where do you think you’re going bud?” You can’t go out and challenge Osyrus… not yet anyway.” As Kain is held by the large men; Isis walks by smiling at Kain and Silver Hawk. 

”Well boys, I have to go join ‘your god’ in the ring. Kain remember that the offer is still open.” She blew him a kiss as she walked down the corridor laughing. 

As Kain is held at bay, he finally broke free from one of the large men’s grasp. Standing the hallway; he turned to a wall and kicked it with all his might, the only thought running through his mind is getting Osyrus in the ring as he now, stood alone. 

”Fuck.” 

Hate 

In ACW, you could smell the hate in the air. 

The low scent that slowly filled your nose as you continued to sniff… like a junkie snorting coke. A undeniable fragrance that changed the mood of a person; who unlucky came in contact with it. Anger took over their emotions; infuriating that person to the point where revenge was the only course of action. You couldn’t help but want more.. as a clichéd fist would soon follow. Your nose lead you wherever the scent could be found… and in ACW; if you were brave enough to find the path to that mysterious trail… it’ll lead to only one person. 

The most hated of all the despised people on the planet. When people dabble with the commandments of lying, cheating and stealing to be cute or to get over with the crowd… those are the rules that he has lived by his entire life. The new hate monger of the twenty-first century, that has continually proven that he would do just about anything to achieve his goals… 

But did you listen?

No. 

Weren’t all you wannabe tough guys and bad asses taking notes when he broke rules, and got away with it? Blatantly cheating in front of the entire world, as he ripped title after title away from your helpless grasp… and you could do nothing but sit, bitch and moan about it. 

The Bad Ass

A tough S.O.B

The Beast


These are nothing but names… they have no real meaning. 

But the hate he has for you is real… Very real

Then the audience heard the unknown shriek of terror from the woman; darkness in the arena followed immediately afterwards as the music blared over the P.A system. The song full of defiance; daring you to step up to the challenge to beat the odds, while at the same time… painfully surrendering like a hostage spreading her legs as she had finally given up the struggle. 

”I’m not the only one. 

Yeah. 

I’m not the only one… 

Rape me.” 


And when the curtain separated Osyrus had stepped through; with Isis not too far behind. It was last week when Osyrus faced Quinton May, in one of the most incredible matches in ACW’s weekly history. Both men had displayed technical excellence in every sense of the word; before Osyrus showed what really made him a feared individual. His unbridled hatred for his fellow superstar. Just imagine an angry super with the skills to embarrass you with his knowledge of the mat, and his fury to injury you with the most simplistic wrestling hold… whenever he wanted or choose to do so. 

That was Osyrus’ attitude in a nut shell. 

If you challenged him; be ready for a fight because he backed down from no one… but if you don’t meet his standards, or your not on his level, and no one truly is… then the superstar who called himself, ‘The Personification of Talent’ would make you pay for even opening your mouth. 

Osyrus and Isis were finally in the ring; ‘The Queen of Wrestling’ motioned for the production crew to cut the music with her right hand going back and fourth in front of her throat. 

”Are you feckers sleeping back there in the truck? Didn’t I tell you to cut the fucking music already. We got a show to run already; and you got your blue chipper… better yet thee blue chipper in the ring; about to throw out another open challenge… to whoever is brave enough or dumb enough to step their little ass out here and face the best. 

That’s when Osyrus stood in front of Isis; slowly taking the microphone from her hand… And even before he said one syllable, the crowd was all over him. 

”Shut the fuck up already. Don’t you know that you’re supposed sit on your hands with your mouths closed when your in the presence of royalty. It isn’t often celebrities come to this shit hole part of the world,” Osyrus paused as he scratched his head in confusion. 

”I don’t even know where the fuck we are. Isis, did you see the name of this place on the back of the curtain?” Isis opened her mouth, but is cut off abruptly. “It doesn’t matter where the fuck we are… I don’t give a shit anyway.” 

The crowd loved being disrespected… You could see the love in their hearts as they chanted for Osyrus to die repeatedly. 

“But onto today’s business at hand; who is going show that they have a set of balls and face the best fucking wrestler in ACW… the only wrestler that matters, Osyrus. Come on guys in the back, don’t make me wait all night for one of you pussies to get pushed out of the curtain by ACW’s crappy ass officials. Better yet,” He stopped talking as he walked to the ropes that faced the entrance ramp. 

”Let me narrow down the guys’ asses that I have already kicked to make this more interesting, to see who’s actually left. 

Silver Hawk- Kicked his ass so much, there’s no point of him even thinking he can get in the ring with me anymore. Knees are shot to hell and can’t even wrestle his way out of the cardboard he lives in, on some street corner in Loserville… which I bet is near here. Wherever here is. 

ICU- Don’t make me laugh. He’s the worst champion in ever hold a F’N title. If he ever stepped into the ring with me again; I will guarantee to eradicate him from this industry. That damn child abuser. 

Alias- That Jennifer Garner wannabe… I wish he would walk down that ramp; but I don’t want someone to interfere again and save his ass since he’s such a puss. Alias, when you grow a set… step up to the plate. I’ll be there waiting. 

Quinton May- What kind of name is Quinton?” Osyrus whispered to Isis as she nodded. 

“Fag. You saw what I did last week, no need to bring it up again.” 

”So who’s left? Come on, somebody step up and show me what your made of….” 

Avril Lavigne’s ‘Complicated’ blasted into the arena; the fans rose to their feet as Jade sprinted to the ring. The young woman that Osyrus attacked earlier her revenge, and telling by the look into her eye… 

She was going to get it.

Alias’s Thing To Do List: “Yada, yada, yada…” Check.



I still can’t believe you actually did it, Chris.” 

Alias, decked out in a red sleeveless anarchy ‘A’ hoody and a pair of loose fitting jeans, looked up at Silverhawk from across the large oak desk that took up most of the ACW booker’s office. 

“Heh, you and I both… glad I could hold onto it for another week though… it’ll always be my belt after all.” Alias said with a wink, only for his face to return back to its sullen form. 

“I just couldn’t see myself giving this piece of gold the fight it deserved… with Vince back…” 

“I know Chris…” 

“I didn’t want to even give the fucker another chance at it, either.” Silverhawk nodded back at his long time friend. A comfortable silence filled. That is until Alias decided to break it as he sat back in his chair and rubbed his temple. 

“Faaaack… I just don’t understand why you won’t let me fight this week. That’s the second week in a row Hawk!” 

“That’s normal Chris… no one else is a damned work horse like you, kid. 22 matches in the last 21 shows. Trust me you needed a break before you crippled yourself ya crazy bastard.” 

“A break just isn’t in me though… you gotta realize that. Hell I might be numb physically… and I’ll admit, just fuckin numb emotionally… but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t get a shot at that son of a bitch.” 

“I’ll tell you what I told Kain last week. Your not fit to wrestle… you’ll be putting your career on the line, Chris. Don’t make me lock you in your locker room, and… well, I’ll see what I can do for next week.” Silverhawk gazed across the desk at Alias… but the Original Pulp Hero just wouldn’t lock eyes with him as he glanced off, ever so slightly to the side. Eventually he began nodding his head in agreement. 

“Fine Hawk, but don’t start thinking I won’t help Stalin tonight against Jacobs if it’s needed… admit it, you can’t even trust that son of a bitch. Before I forget Hawk… and just decide to hang onto the thing for as long as possible… here. The belt’s yours… if anything fuckheaded ends up happening with it… I’ll hold you responsible.” Alias finally cracked a smile once again, before handing the T.V. title across the table. 

Silverhawk. 

Alias. 

A Championship between them. 

“Superstar” Vince Jacobs on Alias’s mind… the more things changed the more things stayed the same, it seemed. This fact donned at both men as they shared a quick grin, Silverhawk added to the fact. 

“All we need is a ladder.” They both chuckled for a moment, and all in all Alias was finally able to relax for what seemed like only a moment. He had come to the show this week with many questions to be asked… and a two missions to be accomplished. As he got up from his chair, he shook the hand of his long time friend and ally, glancing only for a split second at his golden glittering Championship. Exiting the office of Silverhawk one thought was prevalent on Alias’s mind. 

“One down… one to go.” 

Can Anyone Say Ego?



Khristain Keller decked the hallways of ACW with intentions.

His intention; to build on his few aWc appearance's and try and get some sort of contract here, in ACW. With aWc's sudden closure, he was currently out of contract, and although being out of contract was something he was well acquainted with, his hunger for the game had never been so high.

Keller had been given his chance however, here tonight, for a promo which would go out to the arena fans only, as at this current time it was a commercial with the taping. Mark Wilson, the ACW Internet Columnist was brought in for the task, as he held the mic to Keller face and began the test of Keller's nerve.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I had with me one of the most experienced professional stars on the circuit. He's wrestled in all the major countries, including the States, Japan, Mexico and even had a successful time in Germany, Europe. He recently had a short spell with aWc before it's closure and I would like you to welcome Khristain Keller to ACW. Mr. Keller, how does it feel to finally be in ACW?"

"It feels great yeah...my ass if tender now, considering the amount of times you kissed it in those past 30 seconds. Let's cut straight to there point here folks. ACW phoned me up, said they needed a new star to come in and bring ACW back from the fucking brink. It seems that Mr. Intensive Care Unit and Mr. GreyHAWK just can't keep the company afloat anymore, therefore they need somebody who can carry the company back from the above 2.0 TV ratings."

"Harsh words Mr. Keller, but considering you've been with some of the most talented men on the planet, how do you find the talent here in ACW?"

"I usually look in the locker room's...but if you want an un-smart ass answer, the talent in ACW is very very good. I'm actually very very happy to be here where I can take my talent, and hopefully progress in the field of comedy...because if you look at these guys in the ring, you won't see better comedy routines anywhere, not even at Def Jam."

"Mr. Keller, thanks for your time and I "hope" to see wrestling very soon here in ACW."

"Pleasure's all yours."

Dante Inferno and 006.392 vs. 108192 and A*Dubbs

  

"Patiently Waiting" courtesy of 50 Cent rang through the arena sound system, as A*Dizzle along with 108192 walked out through the curtains. Both meant business, seeing as earlier in the night they had gotten their ass kicked.

"This is gonna be cake." 108 told Dubbs, as Dubbs nodded his head, not letting his eyes stare beyond the squared circle, even for one second. The edginess in A*Dubbs is what helped him perform up to his best caliber, and he was not going to lose it, especially with who he was about to face.

"IIII... STAND ALONE!" played as Dante Inferno, along with tag team partner 006.392 walked through the stage, tearing ass to get into the ring. Dante ran into the diamond, as Dubbs and 108 diverted their attention straight to him. Both took turns taking shots, before 108's attention was turned to an ache in his back, caused by a weak top-rope dropkick attempted by 006. 108 turned his head to see 006 on the ground starting to get up, and laughed. He turned his attention back to Inferno who began slugging away at A*Dubbs, before chop blocking Inferno's left knee. As 'Hellraiser' dropped to one knee, the opening was all Dubbs could ask for, as he bounced off the ropes, and delivered a fierce roundhouse kick to Inferno's head. Inferno fell to the ground, as the match started.

DING DING DING

108 backed Dubbs off of Inferno as he started the match off. 108 grabbed Inferno by his hair, before using closed fists to tame the wild boar. After the third, Inferno dropped back to his knee, but was unable to block a knee to the face, which sent him back to the floor. Time took it's course, as Dante began stirring for ground, before 108 grabbed him once again. Making the tag to Dubbs, 108 held Inferno up as Dubbs prepared for the top rope. He leapt off with vengeance, soaring through the air with similarities of a bird. Dizzle missed the Corkscrew Moonsault, inadvertently hitting his partner, and now suffered the wrath of Dante's left and right fists.

The crowd was roaring as Dante battled back in these unlikely odds, before receiving a rake of the eyes. A*Dubbs tossed Dante into the ropes, and threw himself onto Dante's head, using his thighs to convert Inferno back to the canvas. The hurricarana took Dante off his feet, but he rose right back up as soon as Dubbs did, and took Dubbs right back down with a clothesline from hell.

108 jumped into the ring to stop the assault, before Dante stopped him first. Inferno kicked 108 in the gut, before picking him up, putting him in position for a Jackhammer suplex. Dubbs rose to his feet as Inferno held his partner in the air, and quickly went for the low-blow. Dante lost control, bringing 108 back to his own feet, and together they laced into Inferno with fierce boots to the chest. Inferno rocked back and forth through each one of them, trying his hardest to overcome the pain and rise back up. Dubbs backed 108 off of Inferno for 3-4 seconds, and as Dante got to all fours, Dubbs nailed him in the chest with a vicious stomp to the gut.

The fans boo'd tremendously, screaming for 006 to get into the ring. Frightened, 006 stirred on the outside, thinking something up, as both Dubbs and 108 paid no mind to the fourth member of the bout. 006's head soon lit up, as he jumped to the ringpost, grabbing something from under the ring.

006.392 grabbed a steel chair, and rose it up so that the fans could see his intentions. But instead of going in and acting on his instinct to attack, 006 tossed the chair into the ring, in an attempt for Inferno to rise up and gain an advantage with the inanimate object. A*Dubbs looked at the object now in the ring, and gave a thumps up to 006. He picked it up, and gave 108 instructions. Raising Inferno up into a dog-like position, 108 shouted "Ready!" to a playful crowd taunting A*Dubbs, before A*Dubbs took off with chair in hand. He placed it in front of Inferno's head, before smashing it into Inferno's frame with the number one nucka's two feet. Inferno's head busted open, as the fans replied to the moves with quick, "oooooohhh!"s. 006 was similar, as he shouted, "FUCK!" He sucked up the butterflies inside, and with all the courage in his heart he rose up to the challenge.

Sneaking into the ring, he low-blowed A*Dubbs, before smashing 108 in the head with the chair he had tried to help Dante with. Dubbs grabbed his nuts, before giving a sinister look on his face. Inferno lied motionless on the floor, as 006 began to rock 108 back with rights. Dubbs turned 006 around, before smashing his 100 and maybe 1 pound body to the floor with a powerful clothesline. 006's momentum was given a fierce hush, as the fans cheers turned quickly into familiar jeers.

108 had had enough. He told Dubbs to pick 006, and without a sense of remorse in his body, 108 began to decimate 006 with the most powerful right arms ACW had witnessed. As if the anger in his face was enough to determine how pissed off he was, 108192 decided time to execute an exclamation point, by setting up the same steel chair used in both Dubbs and 006's favor, as a prop. He set it in the center of the ring, before grabbing 006's motionless body, and Spike piledriving it to the floor. 006's body began convulsing, before the Un-Official Tag Team Champions had seen enough.

Janitors Morris and Howard ran to the rescue of their fallen friend, as 108 and Dubbs watched them enter the ring. Fans tossed some enthusiasm into the ring in favor of the Janitors, but they knew the inevitable. Within seconds, both men were scampering away, with the menacing glares given by the US Champion and 108192. The referee went to toss the match, but Dubbs turned him around before threatening to pimp slap the employee. The ref flinched, as Dubbs put his body over the motionless one of Dante Inferno.

1.



2.




3!


The match was over, as the wreckage lie on the ground. Dubbs screamed for his belt, as 108 looked at the young member of Quinton's Army with nothing but pain, as well as anger in his eyes. The two had done what they had come out to do, Dante Inferno was hurt, but something told the both of them, that he was not out.

Heh, you thought it was the end of it? You thought too highly of Dubbs and 108's morals. Taking the chair in one hand and a mic in another, Dubbs had something else to spit out.

"Nah. It doesn't end like this. Inferno, you're about to get that ass beat, nucka. You ain't witnessed what it's like to face hard time, all yo mafuckin' life you say that you've been through it, but I'm bout to give you the reality check right here. Only difference between this time and the last time I put you out, is this time, I ain't bout to let you come back. 108, GET THA KNEE-CAP!"

108 put the chair onto Dante's knee, and Dubbs jumped to the top rope.

"LET'S PUT THIS BITCH ASS CUNT OUT OF HIS MAFUCKIN' MISERY!"

Just until... the lights cut off.

And as they cut back on, Dubbs laid outside the ring, on his back. 108192 was out as well, and as Dubbs began to regain consciousness from the fall he had just suffered, a familiar face haunted the stage.

"What... the fuck?!" He said to himself, as the face was none other than an old enemy, someone who would only receive cheers because he saved the career of Dante Inferno.

The fans did not know him, but A*Dubbs surely did.

Winner: A*Dubbs and 108192

R-E-S-E-C-P-T



The Kole Brothers, people. Scourge of all things normal.

It's true. Here they were, in the arena, acting as if their balls were as big as basketballs. But really, cockroach eggs would be the more precise term. In any case, Andi & Joey were looking to embark on a mission to prove, not just to Quinton May, but to everyone who labeled them as phucking phreaks that they deserved as much respect as the best people in the industry do.

Sure, they sucked ass, and had no real skill. But they had heart. They had a wonderful eye for clothing accessories. And best of all, they looked sexier than babes while wearing skirts at home.

....

"Alright, Joey. This is it! Now, we're sure that we want to do this, right?" Andi asked as they turned a corner and walked down a hall, towards the only room with a nameplate in the hallway, right at the end.

Joey turned to looked at his brother, and nodded. It was an idea meticulously drawn up in the space of forty-five minutes, and it was guaranteed to work, Joey thought. Andi personally felt that five more minutes would have made the idea even grander, but he was just too tired to do any more brainstorming. So, with their hopes all high and whatnot, The Kole Brothers proceeded towards the locker-room of...

The British Army.

*knock knockity knock*

The door opened, and who should answer it... but Liam, right-hand man to The British Army. Joey & Andi looked at each other, obviously not expecting Liam to answer. But in any case, the two brothers took a deep intake of breath, before turning to look back at the Irishman.

"Hello. We are looking for Vincent Pembridge. We hear that he is a mofo around these parts, and we wanna challenge him to a match. We deserve R-E-S-E-C-P-T, dammit! So, please tell him that. Not that, but whatever I'd said since you opened the door. Remember, not the word THAT, but THAT which is everything I've said!"

Andi sighed and shook his head, not able to believe the crap that his brother just uttered. Liam himself looked somewhat confused, as he glared at The Kole Brothers.

"Lads, Vincent's not here. He's doing some business elsewhere. On the verge of acquiring something that would aid our cause greatly, I'd say. But I'll tell ye what. I'll fight you, seeing how there's a little matter of showing some of my troops that there is more to me than meets the eye. I shall meet you lads in the ring in a few minutes."

And with that, Liam slammed the door shut.

Joey & Andi looked at each other, before shrugging their shoulders and turning on their heels, making their way back to their locker-room. They might not have been able to fight The Scorpion Of Manchester, but his right-hand man was good enough. Of course, they had no idea that Liam was even associated with Vincent, but he did look tough, and thus... he had to be considered a thReat.

.... Yes, thReat. So sue me.

"Dude. RESPECT? That's not how you spell it!" Andi shrieked at the top of his voice. To which Joey replied, "Nah uh. That's how Ali G says it. AYYYYYYYYY."

Kill them, now. Please. Anyone. Okay, just kill Joey, leave the other bugger alone. He's nice. And sexy.

....

Kill ME now.

Intimidation



"Who THE FUCK was that?!" 108192 demanded to know, as A*Dubbs put an ice-pack to his head. 

"I wonder what that lil nucka wants this time." 

108 grew even angrier as Dubbs ignored his question. 

"Um, Dubbs, get your head back on your neck and tell me, who the hell just punked us like that?!" 

"A dude you don't want any of. It ain't got shit to do with the ACW, so don't worry about it. It's my business." 

"Well that punk ass just made it my business by putting his motherfucking hands on me. Besides, how is it that this dude is freaking out the almighty A*Dubbs?" 

Dubbs looked at 108, and then back at the ground. 

"A couple months back, before I landed this contract, I did some business for two gangs, the Bloods and Crypts, down in Brooklyn." 

"And?" 

"We didn't end on good terms."

"Why?"

"...I kinda fucked em' both. Being involved in both cliques meant I was a double agent, and that ain't good. They don't like that kind of shit. Neither of em' play games." 

"So what does that mean?"

"It means 187 if I don't watch my fuggin back. You got more questions nigga?"

"Yeah, one more." 

"Who is he?" 

"Kaume Brown. Leader of the Brooklyn Bloods." 

Handicapped Match
Liam Vs. The Kole Brothers

     

"Look At Me" by Geri Halliwell.

OH, THE MADNESS! CEASE THE MADNESS!

Joey & Andi Kole came out from the back, drawing dead heat from the crowd. They were too busy either vomiting because of the choice of theme song or masturbating because of the choice of theme song. In any case, The Kole Brothers quickly ran to the ring and upon sliding in, began flexing, in an attempt to look tough. All that did was make the timekeeper insane, and thus, he punched himself in the nose.

Joey shrugged it off, and continued posing as a hardcore gangster from da hood, waiting to sell drugs to old ladies.

And then, the lights went out, right after TKB's theme was cut abruptly. By now, everybody knew that this was how Liam made his entrance. But as the lights came back on, The Kole Brothers were confused. They weren't facing the stage, as they were when the lights suddenly went out. Apparently, Joey & Andi had expected Liam to appear behind them when the lights returned.

That wasn't the case.

Instead, the Irishman crawled from under the ring, and slide inside, blindsiding the two brothers with clotheslines to the back of their heads.

"BOOOOOOO!"

Of course they would boo. Sure, the crowd didn't fancy The Kole Brothers much, but whatever Liam did was obviously wrong to them, even though it might have been right to the Irishman himself and the rest of the population of the planet. Anywho, Liam picked up the two brothers, and allowed them to have a meeting of the minds by knocking their heads together. Before headbutting Andi into unconsciousness, and slamming his right forearm into Joey's face.

Who then began to cry. Well, more like wail. Like a baby.

Liam spat at Joey, and kicked him in the face, before pulling him back up via tugging away at his shirt. And one hell of a sneer, Liam punched poor Joey out with a ferocious right hook. More jeers rained down on the right-hand man to the The British Army, who suddenly turned around and let loose with a European uppercut, completely knocking out a recovering Andi Kole.

Following that, Liam placed his right foot on Andi's chest. The referee, disgusted, had no choice but to made the count;

ONE....

TWO...

THREE.

There was never any doubt in anybody's mind that this would be a quick and devastating squash by Liam, but the manner in which he executed it, in addition to the raw brutality he showed while dueling with El Janitors... made everybody think if Liam really was some kind of super fighter back in the day. Years of experience toughened the Irishman up, and it showed on the night -- in a wrestling capacity, no less.

There was nothing to do with wrestling in his performances, however.

And then, as he slid out of the ring, face expressionless, WAVE 1 appeared from the crowd. And within no time, they were in the ring. Wielding steel bats. Beating the crap out of Joey & Andi Kole, who really didn't deserve the annihilation they were receiving now. All they wanted to do was to prove themselves and gain some respect in the process. But at the moment, they were gaining extreme sympathy.

Stopping his ascension up the ramp, Liam turned and looked at the chaos in the ring. Smiling, he had no idea what was to come.

El.

Janitors.

With.

Chairs.

And.

Pissed.

Looks.

On.

Their.

Faces.

*CRACK*

Double chairshot~!

Liam was down, and WAVE 1 ceased their beatdown. Morris & Howard, amidst the mega-cheers, spat at the Irishman, before they turned on their heels and ran for their lives, with the British teenagers that made up WAVE 1 jumping out of the ring and giving chase. Within seconds, the arena was empty, save for the limp bodies of Liam & The Kole Brothers.

Then, Liam awoke. Furious. His face was a bright shade of red. He was ashamed as well.

"Them cunts."

The war... was beginning to become most interesting.

Winner: Liam by DQ

I Spy With My Little Eye



006.392 stumbled through the arena doors and coughed, as his eyes scanned the carpark. He'd done a very bad thing, but with Quinton not around, the YOTN felt that he was going to get away with it. However, the guilt of the act would forever be in his heart... but that was one thing he couldn't bother himself with.

Walking, 006.392 constantly looked over his shoulder, afraid that someone was going to catch him in the act. And as he reached a big red dustbin, the kid gulped. The night hadn't progressed the way he'd expected it to, and unknown to the YOTN, there was to be another twist.

For when he stepped onto the pile of boxes next to the dustbin and lifted the lid, all he saw was... garbage.

"Fuck!"

Jumping off the pile of boxes, still coughing, the kid began to shit himself. Earlier in the show, just as he and Damnson left the building, a sudden thought appealed to the YOTN. But he'd promised his friend that they'd do other stuff tonight. So, there was only one thing 006.392 could do.

Trick poor Damnson into jumping into the dustbin and closing the lid on him, before running back into the arena and taking part in a Tag Team Match.

006.392 was panicking now. What if someone kidnapped Damnson? What if Vincent Pembridge kidnapped Damnson? Sure, he apparently wasn't around the area tonight, but he might have gotten his legion of Brit teenagers to do the dirty job. A possible killer move in the game of chess, 006 figured. Something that would, in essence, mean that The British Army had rebounded from all their troubles and had the slightest of advantages over QA. A slight advantage, which meant a lot.

"So, what lesson have you learnt today, 006.392?"

Turning around, startled, 006 felt his heart stop. Standing at the doors of the arena, with a disheveled Damnson, was Quinton May.

The big boss was back.

006 hung his head in shame and dragged himself towards Quinton, who looked immensely annoyed. He felt that by putting 006.392 in charge for the night, some responsibility would have been injected into the kid. Now, it was time to reflect and judge the kid's progress over the past month. Not just any progress. Progress in life. All aspects would be covered. Also, the results of the kid's homework assignment had to be discussed.

As said earlier, Quincy Mama had a plan...

And 006.392 now had a whole lot of explaining to do.

Cutting Costs Part 2



"Don't mean to be rude HAWK, but I've got a match tonight that I'm preparing for, what do you want?"

HAWK took a seat across from the ACW World Champion as ICU taped his wrists slowly and precisely.

"Listen, you know as well as me that the wrestling business is going down at the moment, big time and when feds like the WWE are having problems with viewers, you know it's going to hit us twice as hard as it is them."

"OK, what's that got to do with me?"

"Well...look at our numbers, it seems that a lot of our major expenditure, is from the initial roster members from the Winters reign. Which means like people like yourself, Alias, Osyrus and Jason Kain are being paid too much for the company to keep you on that wage."

"So what are you saying HAWK, you want guys like me to what?"

"We want to revise your contract, in that, we want to pay you less...30% less to be exact."

"Your joking right? I've got a kid HAWK, I've got people to look after! I'm not some veteran like you who can afford to take it easy."

"I'm sorry man but that's the way it's gonna be...we'll be in contact with you through the week to talk about the contract." HAWK got up from his seat and opened the door as he left, but as he had one step out the door, ICU spoke out.

"What if I don't sign?"

ICU stood up as HAWK closed the door quietly as the two men got into each others face.

"Then we're going to have a bit of a problem are we?"

"We sure are..."

ICU sniggered as he looked to his left as the ACW World Title sat on an empty bench. HAWK looked in the eyes of the Champion and then the title...it seemed that this was going to be a lot harder than he expected.

No DQ Match
Jade Vs. Osyrus

  

Jade cautiously entered the ring as her theme died down.. she scoped out the surroundings inside of the ring. Osyrus on the far left side of the ring… Isis on the right while the two of them smiled wickedly. Jade changed her mind about entering the ring; walking around to the side as she pushed the ring announcer of his chair … and quickly folded it up, grasping it tightly in her hands. Osyrus bounced side to side rhythmically in the ring; his black hoody still over his head as his pierced right eye brow shined in the spot light. He lifted his head slightly as he gave Jade a cocky, evil glare… pushing his lips together as if he was getting ready for a kiss. Osyrus’ fat lip stuck out like a sore thumb, with that wild patch of hair extending from his bottom lip… all the way down to the tip of his chin. 

Jade would rather have Osyrus kiss her ass, after he stole one kiss from her already tonight.

The fiery ACW superstar slide under the bottom rope and into the ring; Isis ducked out of the ring simultaneously. She slapped her hands on the canvas… Isis played the role of the sinister cheerleader quite well. Kneeling near the canvas; Jade dug the top of the chair into its rubber but firm surface angrily … not moving an eyelash from her opponent’s position. 

Osyrus on the other hand, seemed to be in total control of his emotions. Taking his black hoody off slowly; daring Jade to make a move.. flexing his tattooed and scared up biceps, before throwing it at Jade. Which did not sit well with the first female wrestler to ever grace ACW’s roster. But before she could raise the chair from off of the canvas, charging fall speed toward Osyrus… wide eyed and full of rage, screaming as she came closer and closer… Jade stopped instantly with the raising of the ‘Legend in the Making’s arm. 

”I don’t think you want to do that missy,” Osyrus said with a snarl as Jade backed up. She looked around to the outside of the ring; still hearing Isis slapping the mat with her open hand, palm strikes. Jade turned her head to Isis, then to Osyrus; back and fourth between the two as Osyrus slowly inched closer. 

”You know what. I am going to give you a chance, that most people never get in their entire life, when they step into the ring with me.” He paused; adjusting his black jeans as he started to kneel to the ground before sitting in the middle of the ring… looking up toward Jade. 

”You’re going to get sympathy from me Jade.. but all you have to do is lay down. I’m pretty sure you’re used to that position. Laying down on your fucking back like the skank whore that you are.” He got off of his knees, now standing in front of Jade as he looked down on her. 

”… but if you don’t lay down Jade, I am going knock your ass down. And no matter what choice you make… you know what the outcome is going to be.” 

Jade said nothing as she looked at Osyrus. She knew that he was serious as he never took his eyes off of her for a second, during the verbal smack down. Osyrus’ light colored eyes might as well have been pitch black… because his intentions, not matter what people thought they were in their minds… must have been pure evil in the twisted world of Omar Christensen. 

The devil would be proud.

”Stop day dreaming bitch and get on the canvas!” Jade turned her head, looking to the outside after what Isis screamed at her. Suddenly she felt the cold, hard grip of Osyrus’ fingers straddling her throat. Jade quickly snapped out of her daze, being pulled nose to nose with ‘The Beast’ himself as he blew his hot breath in her face… his grip got tighter and tighter. 

”Didn’t you hear what I said bitch? I am going to give you a small, microscopic piece of sympathy; so you don’t have to embarrass yourself in the ring… when I smear the canvas with your blood.” Jade started to fight out of the choke hold; forearming Osyrus in the chest. But in her weakened state, it seemed to have no affect. 

“And I don’t got all night Jade. You better make your decision quick, because one way or another… you’ll still be on the mat and I will rape your pride away from you. Then you’ll get to learn first hand… if it’s true what they say about black guys.” He threw her back towards the corner as Osyrus cackled loudly with laughter… Jade rubbed her neck with both hands, slowly catching her breath while the female audience boo’d aggressively in the background. 

I guess they couldn’t take a joke. 

Jade looked around the arena to the audience for support before Osyrus bellowed for her to get down again. Her chest slowly rose up and down before letting out a huge sigh; kneeling closer to the canvas.. as she finally <b> laid</b> down.

The referee slide into the ring, signaling the ring announcer to start the match. Osyrus walked over to Jade; smile stretched from ear to ear across his face, before he began to chuckle to himself. The former two time ACW champion placed his foot onto Jade’s breast, simultaneously raising both arms in the air while the ref started the count. 

One


Two 


Three?!?!



In the perfect world of Osyrus, this is how it would have ended. Not even breaking a sweat. But as the crowd cheered furiously… something unexpected happened.

Jade rose her shoulder off of the mat; as the ref stopped the count. Osyrus looked down at the ref, kicking him in the ribs… then looked onto Jade; who had her middle finger held proudly into the air…. 

”FUCK YOU,” She said; now both middle fingers pointed in Osyrus’ direction. 

”… And get the fuck off of my chest, bitch!” Instantly slamming her clichéd fist into Osyrus’ groin. 

He staggered back while Jade taunted him before kicking him several times with the point of her boot. Osyrus’ eyes grew wide; falling to the canvas, knees first as the crowd just erupted with emotion. Jade pointed to Osyrus shaking her fist angrily; backing up as she stepped forward with all her might… knocking Osyrus’ head back with vicious forearm shots. The former champ’s head rocked back a few times… Jade sprinted toward the ropes behind her, looking for one tremendous knock out shot. 

With only one more step for Jade to take before colliding with Osyrus; amazingly the San Diego native snapped out of his daze… popping to his feet; high leg sweeping Jade to the canvas. Jade hit the canvas with a quick back bump, then rolled to her right side as she was on one knee… but there was Osyrus. 

She looked up while Osyrus stood and watched her get back to her feet. He blew air out of his nose like an enraged bull, before whipping his leg back… then aimed it straight at Jade’s chest, knocking her down with a hard Maui Tai influenced kick. 

”How did that feel bitch?” Osyrus growled to his opponent…holding his groin in pain as Jade held her chest. Osyrus reached down, pulling Jade up by her brunette roots; driving the point of his knee into her solar-plexus. The crowd cringed as Jade was still bent over after the lower body assault… Osyrus smirked, which was the start of something evil. He slammed his right elbow into the center of Jade’s spine; quickly hitting the canvas as she scrunched up her shoulders.. rolling on the mat, as she writhed in pain.

”Didn’t I tell you, that all you had to do was lay down? Didn’t I?!” Osyrus yelled down to Jade, stomping onto her back as she stopped crawling toward the ropes, but didn’t stop the painful shrieks that echoed in the arena. Osyrus held out his arms, pointing to Jade; who was still trying to put some distance between the two of them. 

Osyrus grabbed Jade by her ankle, pulling her back into the center of the ring, but Jade quickly rolled to her side.. kicking Osyrus in the chest, which stopped him temporally. He held his chest, just as Jade got to her feet.. doing a tumble roll when she grabbed the object of her affection to even the score. 

The steel chair.

”Now what tough guy?” Jade slammed the chair into the canvas, motioning to hit a home run like the hall of fame baseball player, Mark Maguire. But Osyrus looked un-amused at her sad attempts at intimidation… Since he knew that he was the master of making someone’s fears a reality. 

”Shut up and just bring it… bitch.” He held out his right arm, motioning for her to charge, as he started to hulk up. Muscles raising and the steam from his bald hair could been seen slowly drifting toward the ceiling. Jade spit towards Osyrus; rising the chair back into the air over her head. 

”Stopping calling me a bitch, asshole.” 

And with that said, the two ended the cheap talk. Running full speed ahead toward one another… like two cars playing chicken; both drivers were either too stupid or too brave to turn away. 

CLANK

Jade was the first to strike, slamming the steel into Osyrus’ forearm; when he blocked the shot successfully, that was aimed at his head. She quickly pulled back, slamming the unforgiving metal weapon into Osyrus’ right thigh… and followed it up with a drop kick into the chair and into Osyrus’ chest. The 288 pound monster was sent reeling into ropes, bouncing off of the middle ring rope as he was sitting on the canvas. 

Jade ran up to him; stomping away but he used his massive power to push her down to the canvas. Kain’s close friend in ACW quickly got back to her feet, just as Osyrus was up as well. Again the two charged toward each other; but Osyrus exploded like a rocket with a burst of speed, which hung Jade up by her throat… after striking her with a stiff hooking clothesline in the center of the ring. The audience showed their disproval for Osyrus’ lack of sportsmanship; Jade still laid on the canvas, rubbing her neck and coughing violently just as Osyrus pulled her up again by her long hair. 

”You want to play with the big boys? You’ll play with the biggest and toughest one of the all…” He stood her up straight before clothes-lining her down with a combination leg sweep that made Jade’s neck bounce roughly against the rubbery mat surface. 

As the former champ and current ACW bad ass looked down at his opponent; he kicked the steel chair out of the ring, then kneeled down as he grabbed Jade by her brown locks… dragging her to the far corner like cave man. Osyrus tossed her into the corner as she bounced around upon impact; before he straighten Jade up.. punching her in the face with an overhand right. Jade’s head rocked back, before she lunged forward after ‘The Personification of Talent’ exploded a knee into her stomach. 

That’s when Osyrus picked up the intensity.

Driving knee lifts repeatedly into Jade’s stomach, with back elbow shots to the side of her face… left the young woman in a bad state. He backed up; measuring his next shot like Kevin Nash tends to do from time to time… but as he was about to connect with another elbow attack. 

Field goal, right down the center of the up-rights. 

Translation: Hard kick to the groin.

Jade fell to her knees; breathing in hard breaths of air, with a little trickle of blood running down the side of her cheek. Osyrus, on the other hand was holding himself as Jade pulled herself up with the use of the ropes… and when she got to her feet, she stalked over to Osyrus’ position on the canvas. Jade spread his legs apart; blowing a kiss his way before taking turns stopping onto Osyrus’ bread basket with both feet. 

Left! 

Right! 

Left! 

Right! 

Left! 

Right! 

It continued till Jade fell back exhaustedly into the ropes as Osyrus rolled to his side, coughing loudly and violently as Jade did earlier. The audience roared loudly with their nostalgic girl power cheers of ‘Go Jade Go’; while Jade pumped her fist into the air. She drove her elbow into Osyrus’ stomach, before using her remaining strength get the man that out weighed her by 50+ pounds… up on his feet, and against the corner. Pushing Osyrus back with both arms; Jade stepped back… while swinging her arm forward, slapping the former champion’s chest with a Ric Flair like chop. 

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The crowd howled out in respect to the multiple time world champion. Jade grinned as she made Osyrus’ chest more bruised and battered with more chops of the knife-edged version, before it seemed that Osyrus had taken enough abuse. 

Smack

Jade’s unblocked hand hit with tremendous impact as it seemed to not even fade Osyrus. 
She struck him two more times, before the self proclaimed ‘The Last Survivor’ lifted his right knee cap into Jade’s lower abdomen…then followed it up with right hook to the jaw that floored the female in seconds. 

”I bet that had to sting.” Osyrus snickered to himself, spitting out the blood that swished around inside of his mouth. Jade tried to get back to her feet… but Osyrus’ compassion for his fellow man was as dead as Ethan Winters. 

”Ugh.” Jade crumbled back down to the mat after getting kicked with a malice boot to the face. 

”I will say one thing bitch; and I use that word loosely, for all the other bitches out there that may be offended…” Osyrus stepped onto Jade’s throat; her face stated to turn beet red as she grabbed Osyrus’ leg with both of her hands, gasping for air. “… At least you’re tougher than Kain!” He pressed down harder before taking his foot off of Jade’s pencil neck. In the distance, Isis could be heard clapping faintly, watching her man pummel the woman that assaulted her earlier in the evening. 

Her face started to grow more and more jaded as she saw Osyrus scoop Jade up… dumping her on her head seconds later with a stiff brain buster vertical suplex. As both combatants hit the mat; Osyrus twisted his hips while still holding on, as he hoisted Jade up and planted her down with another brain buster… even more aggressive than the first. It was the third time now that Isis saw Osyrus decimate the young woman with another crippling drop… 

Did Isis really want to see Jade get hurt that bad? Isis climbed onto the apron, ducking into the ring. ”Omar stop it.” She called out to him, just as he dropped an elbow onto the small of Jade’s back. 

”Stop it, I said..” Isis pushed Osyrus back as the two them looked down at Jade’s injured body. 
”It’s my turn damn it!” She kicked Jade in the side of her face as the crowd just erupted with jeers. Isis stomped away for what seemed to be an eternity, before Osyrus stopped her to raise both of their arms in victory. 

”Get the chair Isis,” Osyrus bellowed; picking Jade up by her hair… pulling her arms back in a full nelson while his partner re-entered the ring, after going to the outside to retrieve the chair. 

”Hold her tight.” ‘The Queen of Wrestling’ stated winding up with the chair as Osyrus laughed manically. Jade had nowhere to run, being synched up securely with Isis only inches away. She looked around to the audience as they cheered her on. Suddenly her desperation erupted like a volcano… 

CLANK!

YEAH!

Yeah?! 

Somehow Jade had escaped. Osyrus laid on the canvas as he held the back of his head, wondering what the hell had happened. The ACW fans knew what happened. A low blow from Jade; as she leaned forward, just when Isis was going to strike… back fired in a big way for the hated duo. There Isis stood by herself, looking down at Osyrus; holding her head down in shame for what she had done… but there’s no pity for the guilty. 

And that’s when it was time for Isis to face the judge, jury and executioner. 

Jade tackled Isis to the ground as the two rolled around the ring; jocking for position.. before Jade finally ended up on top, slapping Isis’ head to the left and the right with opened hand strikes. The crowd went nuts as Jade jumped to her feet; grabbing the chair from off of the canvas… then preceded to knock Osyrus’ block off as he stood on one knee with an overhead chair shot. ‘The Beast’ got back to feet quickly, but like before… Jade slammed the chair down around Osyrus’ ears as he fell back. 

With Osyrus down and out; the crowd counted each second he laid there on the mat. Now reaching the number ten, Osyrus didn’t moving a muscle… while Jade frantically searched for the referee. Finally after what seemed to be several minutes; Jade found the ref half way under the ring, pulling him out by his left leg… then rolling him into the ring roughly. The young superstar dove onto Osyrus… slapping her had on the mat for the referee to hurry up and make the pin before Osyrus could come to.

But it was too late. 

The crowd awed when Osyrus got the shoulder up at the last second; Jade too could not believe it as well, pulling on her hair. She tried to keep the dangerous superstar grounded; with kicks to the chest but to no avail as ‘The Beast’ blocked the kicks.. taking her to the ground with a single leg take down. Osyrus had finally gotten back to a vertical base, standing over Jade; just as the blood started to flow and run down the middle of his face at a faster pace. Osyrus; motionless as he felt the blood on the tips of his fingers after touching his bruised face. Examining the blood closely, he looked down at Jade once more before a swift kick to her nose rocked her world. 

Jade rose her head slowly off of the canvas; blood gushing from her nose… tears running down her cheeks, eyes swelling up in irritation as she tried to regain her vision. But the only thing she heard was the faint voice that whispered into her ear… 

Play time is over.

She knew the voice all to well as Osyrus pushed her head back down to the canvas… before turning around to make his way to the dented steel chair, that fashioned his blood like a summer dress on a young girl. He leaned down slowly, grabbing the metal weapon of destruction with his right hand.. examining it as he pushed the seat of the chair back into place. Jade was starting to come to; shaking off the cob webs as she tried to get back up. 

Now she was up to a knee. 

Jade looked around to the audience, after hearing their cries for her to stay down. Osyrus only stood a mere two or three feet in front of her; steel chair locked, cocked and ready to decapitate this little girl that thought she could stand toe to toe.. face to face with ‘The Blue chipper’. 

But remarkably the chair that was held over Osyrus’ head started to lower and lower. Did he have compassion for the woman that was taking him to the limit? He started to look Jade once over before dropping the chair onto the canvas; the crowd roaring their approval as Osyrus stood in front of her… putting his hands together as he applauded her. Isis held her face in pain as she yelled up to Osyrus, “What are you doing Omar?’ His only response was a evil smirk in Isis’ direction as Jade still stood dazed and confused about what was transpiring. 

Isis smirked back… she understood completely. 

……. 

……..

……. 

WHAM!

CRUNCH!

Jade was damn near broken in half when Osyrus turned back in her direction; exploding into her with ‘Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide’ as he lifted her off of her feet and slammed her into the canvas with his impact full, gore like take down… that could only be rivaled by Osyrus’ idol, Kellen Kinkade and his ‘The Killing Spree’. 

The noise level literally jumped ten fold with hate filled chants for Osyrus, while Jade laid on the canvas unconscious... or so it seemed. But the man himself seemed to love the reaction; motioning with his arms for the audience to give him more. He walked back over to the steel that he previous dropped; placing in his hands as he stood over Jade, with the top of the chair pointed downward. 

The reaction changed instantly when Kain appeared on the ACWtron, being restrained by two large ACW officials. When Osyrus saw Kain on the screen; he laughed manically… switching the chair from both hands to the left one as he made a cross motion with his right arm, but ended it by flipping off Kain. 

’Want her, come get her…” 

Osyrus quickly drove the chair into Jade’s inner right thigh, in a stabbing motion… hitting her several times with the chair. And each time the chair made contact; Jade screamed out in terror. Kain could be seen struggling even more with the officials as Osyrus loved every second of the torture. 

”Had enough bitch?” He snarled; but Jade said nothing… Only the middle finger rose into the air was her response. 

”So it’s like that huh?!” Osyrus stabbed the chair into her left shoulder; the same arm that she flipped Osyrus off with. He slammed the weapon this time into Jade’s left thigh numerous times as her shrieks of pain grew more violent that even Isis turned away. 

It was only getting more animalistic.

Osyrus struck every joint in Jade’s body; each shoulder, each knee cap as her body was spread out and the young woman didn’t move a muscle due to the pain. Jade was in a very bad situation; and it was getting worse as Osyrus kicked her legs wide apart… standing there for a few seconds before licking his lips. Even Isis rose an eyebrow, wondering what the fuck was going to happen now; after all the ACW audience had seen already. 

The former two -time champ kneeled closer to Jade’s crotch as he rubbed on his, before turning his nose away… “Never mind, I don’t know where the fuck you’ve been and damn sure don’t want to catch something!” Osyrus snickered as he stepped on Jade’s crotch with his foot; before standing over the top of her with the chair aimed at her neck… touching it slightly before raising it back into the sky. 

Kain broke free as he ran off camera; seconds later he came bursting through the curtain as he ran down to ring.. just as Osyrus slide out of it. Kain dared Osyrus to get back and fight, but the self proclaimed ‘The industry’s best and brightest star’ thought other wise. 

”How does it feel knowing that your little girlfriend is tougher than you are Kain?” Kain looked down at Jade’s bruised face as she had on a half smile, before dropping her head back on the canvas. Kain turned his attention back to Osyrus; now even more infuriated. 

”You want me in the ring Kain, you don’t deserve it. You don’t even to deserve to be in it right now. But as far as getting your hands on me sometime soon,” Osyrus paused; throwing the blood stained chair into the crowd, hitting a few fans. 

”Fuck you… You can’t wait.” 

And with that said; Osyrus and Isis back pleaded down the ramp, huge smiles on their faces… before disappearing behind the curtain. 

Kain stood in the ring all alone. Not physical, but mentally. He started to hit himself in the head with his right palm; wondering how he could let Jade challenge Osyrus and not be there to save her when she needed his help. He tried to lean down to pick Jade off of the blood splattered canvas; but the EMT’s refused. As Jade was slowly lifted up by two ACW trainers; she frowned angrily in Kain’s direction before being carried out of the ring. 

”Fucking Osyrus!” 

That seemed to be the theme of the night; as he kicked the bottom rope before ducking, and sliding out of the ring. Luckily Jade had survived this encounter with Osyrus, but what would happen in the future if Kain is not around again. Tonight she had proved that in a man’s world.. there was always one strong woman to stand up against the biggest chauvinistic pig…. 
Scoring a point on the board for the women of wrestling, but would her efforts be enough alone?

Osyrus – 2

Jade – 1 

Kain – 0 

One could only wonder what the score would be next week on Courage? 

Only time will tell. 

Winner: No Contest

21 Questions.



HAWK sat in his office as the clock ticked away on this weeks Courage again. It had been one hell of a two weeks with the cancellation of last weeks show due to Environmental Health and the half year numbers coming to the ACW offices, but it wasn't going to end there.

HAWK checked his monitor as the Courage was still on a commercial break from the Jade Vs. Osyrus match, before that was, he got a holler from someone outside.

"HAWK COME QUICK!"

HAWK shot out of his seat as he opened the door to his locker room, as a huge amount of activity was going on outside his office. An ambulance sat nearby the backdoor entrance as he moved over to there. As Jade was already in the ambulance, he thought nothing of it until he seen another stretcher whiz by him as Joe Stern came running up to him.

"Joe, what the fuck is going on?"

"It's Rivers man, he's been beat up bad...with a pipe or something it looks like."

"What? When did this happen?"

"Must have been a during the Osyrus match, we found him right outside ICU's locker room during that match."

HAWK shook his head as he watched ICU standing at his locker room looking in at the ambulance, were Rivers was being loaded up, blood pouring from a head injury as well as his neck retained in a harness. ICU caught HAWK's gaze as he waved over to the ACW staff member before kicking open his locker room door and walking inside.

HAWK sneered at ICU as he left, as he left nothing to the imagination as to what had happened, but beside the ambulance, inside the crowd, Mark Wilson, the ACW columnist and now Interviewer caught up into the crowd to see what was going on.

"Hey man...do you know what happened?"

"No, I don't...but hey what do I know anyway...I'm new here."

As Wilson moved closer to peek a sight of the man, Khristain Keller turned around and winked at him before laughing sadistically, as the ambulance turned on it's sirens and hastily moved away from the arena.

Questions galore for next week's Courage...and that is when they were all to be answered.

It seemed that in ACW...nobody was safe, not even the Owners.
