PREVIOUSLY... Since ACW's birth on television, fans had seen the company go through numerous transitions and changes. Between the Winters era, and then the short lived ACW Guardians, it now looks as if ACW has finally settled, and with a new World Champion at the helm of the federation, and the fan base growing by the day...ACW is finally on the way forward. Or is it?

Demonic Duo



As the Courage opening montage finished, the TV feed was taken into the parking lot, where one man stood infront of a clutter of expensive motor vehicles. It was surprising that, as he stood somewhere on the outskirts of the actual arena, the audience on the floor was hushed down to almost silence, as from last's week's finish, this was a promo, which the world wanted to hear.

"First off, let me just say we are out here...for fears of my own safety, as I don't know what you animals could get up to if I stood in the middle of that ring all by myself."

Keller cracked his neck as he began to strut from side to side, as the camera followed his footsteps.

"For years and years Houdini was labeled as the best illusionist ever to be a part of the magic circle, if not the planet. He dazzled people with his tricks, things that seemed impossible to a mere human, were a pisstake for this man as he took his show all over the Globe, dazzling the humble peasant to the rich fat cat. Lately, a certain David Blaine has been trying to fill Houdini's mantle with his own tricks, but I, Khristain Keller, pull the biggest trick of them all last week...and you stupid scum where my audience."

Keller smirked as he looked around at the negative responses from the crowd. "I didn't do the trick alone however...I was partnered...by former ACW World Champion, SilverHAWK."

Boo.

"So without further or do, please, let me introduce to you, your hero! SilverHAWK."

The camera panned out as it showed that SilverHAWK was a mere 6 foot away from Keller, as the duo stood side by side, both with a cocky smile on there face, Keller's ever-so much wider. SilverHAWK, drowned in a black hooded top which covered most of his face, tilted his head back as Keller gave him the floor, and an opportunity to answer many questions that had posed over the last week.

"Out of all the people, in all the world, who would I be less likely to be paired up with? My boy Keller of course. Now, I'm not going to stand here and bullshit you all, in how this was an elaborate scheme from the beginning of Keller's arrival, no, it was far from it. It was actually out hate for one another that actually brought us closer together in a sense were...we could help out each other, one way or another.

And I know you all sit there, and ask the immortal question "why?", and for once, I'm going to answer you. 

Keller is my way back in...plain and simple. 

Osyrus ended my career when I lost my World Title to him, half a year back, and since then I've been a lackey. You could say I had power, but it was imaginary, it took Brian Carter two weeks to get my out of ACW, answer this, if I had any power, wouldn't I still be in a job?

Well I am now...because it doesn't matter who your Champion is, or even your boss, the only man, whom is secure in this company, stands by my side. As Champions can be defeated, owners bought out, but Khristain Keller cannot be removed from ACW without his approval, and that my friends, is power. I now stand as Khristain Keller's official manager, and under his contract, my suspension is default, and I, return to ACW, sniffing gold once again."

Keller slapped HAWK in the back as he took up the picture once again, as SilverHAWK dropped into the back of the scene..

"This goes out to a very special person, your "champion" if you will. Alias, it took you seven weeks to beat that little pussy Kain, and believe me, those seven weeks were the longest of my lifetime, watching you two go through the motions, but now the game is on Alias, your fighting a true contender, a warrior, a challenger and an equal. Along with my new "associate", I will go the Manchester and beat you senseless, the only thing you have to ask yourself if this...

...who is gonna help you now?"

Keller smiled into the camera as he began to chuckle, and as SilverHAWK tapped him on the shoulder, they both exited the scene. A lot of questions were still to be answered, but it seemed that two men now resumed the power struggle in ACW, and there was no knowing were it was going to finish.

The Wild Card



“What the fuck happened last week?

I mean… fuck… how did I not SOME HOW see this coming.”

This was that phase when it came to these sort of things, when you somewhat blame yourself for the bad things… or events that have happened to you. Just two weeks ago Alias was on top of the world… World Champion, one of his best friends engaged. Now?

“Damnasshelldamn!”

*smash*

Ahhhh… the breaking phase. Now Alias had to deal with the fact that one of his oldest friend’s… the last positive tie to his past in ACW, had turned on him and flipped the script, siding with the first man Alias was supposed to face at a PPV as World Champion.

The irony of it all… Alias had gotten SilverHAWK back into ACW… Alias had gotten the match booked against Hawk later that night… Alias had asked for a favor from the new owner. That last one was the clincher. Alias was a man of his word… he had done a hell of a lot of discernable things in the past… on his word and favors are never just one way. 

Why Keller though? The one man that Hawk was supposed to hate the most… why Keller?

Alias walked over to his large golden championship as it lay on the bench in the middle of his locker room, shining in the lights. 

He picked it up and looked at the engravings across it…

He looked at his reflection in it…

And smirked. Yeah... that’d be enough of a reason why.

Untamed



Carter looked across from him at the biggest man in ACW.

He was a lump of a man, the shape would be described as a "shit brickhouse" in Scottish parts of the World, but as Inferno closed the door behind him after being called into the owner's office, you could clearly see that Inferno would rather be in other places.

"Mr. Inferno, I've had a few complaints about your behaviour as of late, and because I'm trying to get to know all of my talent, I've also been looking at your...rather large file which has made a few questions crop up in my head..."

Inferno got to the point.

"Like what?"

"Well...your past suicide attempts, I know that you haven't been in such a condition in a while, but I was wondering what you think about your current state, comparing it to when you were looking to end your life."

Inferno tossed his belt on the desk and leaned forward...

"He put you up to this didn't he?"

"Who?"

"Jacobs."

"Well that's none of your..."

Inferno clobbered the table with his fist.

"You tell your psyc's that I'll die when I decide to die, and you tell Jacobs, that if it was really me who attacked him, he wouldn't be fucking standing, now, if you talk to him again, give him my best regards, and tell him...that eyes in the back of his head will be needed.

And they'll be needed tonight."

DARE Vs. Tom Maxwell

  

Light lights go black as "The Red" by Chevelle hits the loud speakers. A red strobe light filters through the arena, and Tom Maxell appears at the top of the ramp. His face is masked in a dark expression as he sprints down to the ring and slides in. He glares into the camera and hops onto the turnbuckle to play to the crowd. The ear popping sound of static, however, interrupts his taunting. Maxell turns around just in time to hear the opening chords of "Coagulate" by Snapcase blare through the arena. Red and white pyro shoots out
of the edges of the steel entrance ramp. DARE runs down as the pyro continues to shoot in a continuous stream.

*RING*

The bell sounds and DARE locks up with Maxell. Maxell being trained in hardcore fighting, hits a leg sweep and begins punching DARE square in his dead uncles mask. The camera zooms in and DARE's eyes shoot wide open. Fury. Disrespecting his uncles mask, his most sacred possession.

In DARE's eyes, Maxell deserved to die.

DARE suddenly rolls out from under Tom and hits a strong uppercut. Tom rocks back, blood dripping down his chin. He rears back for a haymaker, but DARE ducks. Tom turns around to meet him and is met with a stiff kick to the face.

*THUD*

Tom hits the ground with a sickening thud. He rolls over and tries to get up, but decides to lay down for a few seconds, while DARE plays to the crowd. Little did he know, DARE had set up on the top rope.

Tom kips up and spins around, only to be met with a standing moonsault.

Both competitors fall. The ref begins the 10 count.

Tom is up.

He lifts DARE off of the canvas and gives him a stiff punch to the heart. DARE grabs his chest and hits the mat, writhing in pain.

Tom walks over to the ref as he checks on DARE and delivers a stiff kick to the back of the head. 

The ref hits the rubber mats outside.

It's time for Tom to cash in. He rolls out of the ring and reaches under it and grabs his Singapore cane. DARE is now stirring and is on his feet, his back facing Tom who is already back in the ring.

DARE turns around.

*SMACK*

Blood is now pouring through the eye openings and neck openings in DARE's mask. It is staining the mats, sitting in large puddles around his motionless body.

Tom cannot make the pin because the referee is still out cold, so he plays to the crowd, setting up a chair in the ring and just sitting down. Suddenly, pyro shoots out of the ring posts and Elijah Toomes' figure looms over DARE. He lifts him up, but DARE gets his second wind and ducks as Toomes goes for the punch. The ref is now stirring so Toomes unsure of what to do. Tom is now on his feet watching the fight. Elijah walks over to the chair Tom was sitting on and takes it. DARE slides under Elijah's legs and gets between him and Tom. Elijah goes for the chair shot and DARE ducks.

*SMACK*

Tom is on his back bleeding, but not nearly as much as DARE. Elijah glances around and screams. He slides out of the ring and throws the ref in, mad at himself that he didn't hit DARE. 

DARE sets up on the top rope and looks into the rafters. He does his crucifix pose with his palms up. Without looking he jumps.

SHOOTING STAR PRESS

DARE makes the cover.

DARE rolls off of Tom and looks at Elijah who is staring him down from the top of the ramp.

Winner: DARE

The Mis-Adventures Los Locos Moscocos! Pt.1



El Emenopi looked at his rematch slip. He finally was allowed into the ring, and he was finally a wrestler. A member of a tag team. A soon to be hero of the federation! And most of all, he had finally found a “friend”… a comrade… a buddy… a man with the same drive as he had.

“GIVE ME THAT CHALLENGE!” Forme Carlos grabbed the paper away from El. El frowned.

The “friend” was Forme Carlos. The tag team was “Los Locos Moscocos”… name pending. The match was against Vincent Pembridge, and El Emenopi believed he had a right to a rematch. A few months back El had a match against Vincent Pembridge for his then-owned Scorpion Fighting title… and he lost. And he lost, badly.

But Forme seemed to want the match more than El did, as he instantly wrote his own name down on the match contract, and El stood in dismay. Suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he turned toward Forme with a smile of delight.

“I get it! You’re going to fight heem for me! You’re going take the match for the honor of the team!”

“Uh… yeah… um… that’s it.” Forme looked around for a moment then turned to El, shoving him out of the way. El never saw his eyes roll. Forme never felt his own eyes roll so much. “I’m doing this for the… team.”

El smiled widely and ran out of the room, yelling at the top of his lungs that Forme was taking on Pembridge for him. Forme put a hand to his own face… then slapped it hard before dragging it down the whole of his face. He was still trapped in the nightmare. And obviously, he wasn’t waking up any time soon. 

But as long as El Emenopi wasn’t getting the matches and he was… he didn’t truly care. The little bastard cost him the tag titles, and now he was stuck in this contract. This meant that he was forced to keep him around… until he could change the contract. He shook his head solemnly, then walked out of the room toward the entrance way. The card had changed… and now it was Forme Carlos vs. Vincent Pembridge. And that was that.

An Unlikely Meeting



The door swung open to the main locker room and a man entered that had never been seen on ACW turf.

It was CJ Trenton.

He had a sheepish if not confused look upon his face as he tossed back his hair in a messy fashion as he walked into the large room. He had his stuff in a large black duffel bag, slung across his shoulder. With his head down, he looked at a slip of paper that the management had given him. It contained his locker number and his combination number for the lock. Squinting his eyes, he tried to make out his locker number on the paper, but the numbers were smudged because of his clammy hands.

"3116." He decided.

He muttered the number softly repeatedly, looking around for it, almost walking in circles. As he turned a corner, he could hear what sounded like two voices.

He ignored them, figuring the other new guys were also finding their way around. But he couldn't help but notice the distinct foreign accent in their voices. He discarded the notion and walked around, while on the other side of the room, a gargantuan man lumbered through the lockers while a smaller, horribly dressed man had a similar piece of paper in his hand.

Enter Li Xiao and Chin Lee.

Li had a stone look on his face as we aimlessly followed his manager, Chin Lee around the room. Lee began getting a bit frustrated with the search.

"What the numba again?!" Lee declared
through a thick Chinese accent.

Xiao with his heads in the clouds was examining the ceiling while Lee snatched the piece of paper from his bear claw.

“I knew it!” Lee chirped. “3116.”

Apparently a mix-up by the ACW Staff in having had assigned the two new wrestlers the same locker. Trouble was on the horizon as Li and Chin both turned the corner, as did CJ Trenton, finally finding his way. Both parties approached each other, slowly. Lee said something foreign to Xiao and CJ quickly noted Xiao's size and decided it best to get to his locker and get the hell out of there. CJ spotted his locker to his left and began to open it.

THUD.

A basketball-sized fist slammed just above CJ's head, making a small crater into the metal locker. Xiao was looking down upon CJ with a cold stare.

Wonderful. Nice to meet you too.

Trenton slowly backed off and put his stuff on the ground, figuring he was in for an unpleasant experience. Before he could raise his fists, a squeaky voice piped up.

"What you think you doin’? That Li lockah bitch!”

CJ lowered his fists and looked down at the feeble Chin Lee, whom was sneering up at CJ. Li hadn't moved a muscle, which made him more than uneasy. Looking at the piece of paper in Lee’s hand, he confirmed his fears - they had the same locker number.

This was just CJ's luck - His first day in the building and he would get the same locker as some Foreign Ogre, who probably doesn't even understand a lick of English. He figured he'd need to talk his way out of this one. But that could be a problem, seeing as how these two men were obviously not from America.

"Do… you… speak… English?" CJ mouthed to Li, waving his arms wildly.

CJ used more inflection than was probably necessary, which made for a comical affair. Li just cocked an eyebrow at CJ and looked at Lee, looking for an answer from him. Lee looked back with disgust, figuring CJ was mocking them. He spouted something quick and foreign to the big man, who only grunted in return. Figuring he'd just made a bad situation worse, he desperately tried to communicate with Lee that this was some misunderstanding.

"Eh, look dude. This is some sort of mix-up."

Lee gave a quick "Hah!" and retorted. "No mix up. Li lockah!" Lee repeated through broken English.

CJ sighed as he realized that words were doing no justice. He would need to get through to these people in writing. He quickly took out a pen and put his the paper he was clutching against the lockers. He scribbled down some words and then handed it to the manager, Lee.

He slowly read over it, mouthing out a few words silently and started nodding his head.

Whew. CJ figured he'd cleared that one up. Just as CJ went to pick up his stuff, he heard the sound of crumpling paper. He looked up as the wad of paper smacked him in the forehead. Lee began laughing mechanically as Xiao appeared preoccupied again with the ceiling, not paying much attention to CJ or Lee.

Enough was enough. CJ had tried to reason with them. He furrowed his brow and opened the locker door, putting his bag inside. He closed the door and just when he turned his back, he heard a crashing noise. He turned on his heels to find his bag and contents sprawled across the floor. As he gathered it, he saw Xiao and Lee safely tucking THEIR belongings into the locker.

Snap. There went CJ’s mind.

He walked over to the locker and flung it open, putting his bag inside on top of Xiao's. He looked at them. They looked back. He nodded approvingly. They didn’t.

"Fine! We'll share! Share the locker. You and me. Share!" CJ explained as if he was talking to a one year old baby.

Even after Lee relayed this to Xiao, he could only scratch his head. CJ officially ruled that Li Xiao was easily the slowest guy he'd ever met.

“That Li lockah bitch!” Lee exclaimed opening the door to the locker again.

“What is it with you people? Is that all you know? Is that all you can say? Do you even SEE me!?” CJ extended two fingers which he motioned from his eyes to Lee's. They stared blankly. CJ was running out patience, and beads of frustration were running down his face. CJ slammed the locker door shut, almost snatching Xiao’s hand in it. Mistake.

CJ swallowed hard.

Xiao’s eyes turned blood shot as the clutched each side of the locker with his vice grip hands. He bared down lower to the floor only to flex his massive tree trunk arms as he picked up the locker and held it above his head. CJ backed up a bit, completely taken back from the physical prowess of Li Xiao.

Lee spoke an unfamiliar language in Xiao’s ear. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know what it was though.

With little problem, Xiao rocked back and threw the steel locker at CJ Trenton. CJ’s eyes grew at the site of a locker coming right for him. Without him even knowing it, CJ managed to dodge assault as he rolled to the side, just in time to see the locker come crashing down on the concrete floor.

“Hey!” CJ blurted out, but soon bit his tongue when the raging bull reared his neck towards him.

“Your locka now!” Lee added before the two walked off, laughing. CJ sneered.

This wasn't over.

This wasn't over by a long shot.

 

Forme Carlos Vs. Vincent Pembridge

  

Suddenly Taproot’s “Time” exploded over the PA. The red lights flickered on and off as Vincent Pembridge walked out through the entryway. The hideous sneer on his face showed that this was done because he knew Kain wouldn’t have time to answer it. Especially since he had given the contract to El Emenopi personally. This was going to be a wiping that Jason Kain would never forget. Pembridge climbed the apron, slid under the rope, then stood up, tossing fists to the sky. The boos were unanimous, and Pembridge didn’t care.

But the music that came next did bother him. There was no back beat… no “Eyyyyyy!” No Spanish lyrics.

The strummed chords of AFI’s “Ever and a Day” blasted through the arena, and Pembridge looked up the ramp angrily. El Emenopi hadn’t answered the challenge… his “tag partner” did. And as the blue lights flashed around the arena, and the entryway strobed its black lights… the sneer on Pembridge’s face got a bit nastier. Forme Carlos stepped to the entryway, looking to his feet before slowly moving his head up to face the ring. Suddenly a flash of white pyros shot up as Forme rushed to the ring, sliding under the ropes, and popping to his feet. Pembridge looked at the short Mexican, giggling to himself for a moment.

Forme’s facial expression never changed. He knew this was going to be a tough match, but he wasn’t going to show it. Instead, the anger he held from last week’s massacre showed widely. The glare pierced Pembridge’s normal expression and got him ready for the match.

The locked up as the bell rang, Pembridge easily overpowering the small Forme and flipping him into a quick snap suplex. The crowd’s roars amazingly went toward Forme, and for the first time Forme realized that he was being cheered instead of booed. He quickly jumped back to his feet, and turned back to Pembridge… Just in time to be tossed back over his head with a sharp belly-to-belly, sending Forme back to the mat with a short display of head-over-heels. 

Forme slowly tried to get to his feet, but Pembridge smiled as he realized this would be just as easy as beating El. He grabbed Forme by his hair, hooking an arm under Forme’s and locking his shoulder… the position looked like a rock bottom, but as Pembridge shoved forward, he sat down, slamming Forme down with a revamped side slam, before spinning over for the cover…

1…

2…

KICKOUT!

Pembridge looked to the ref, then smirked. Maybe not as easy.

But as the Forme’s foot spun into Pembridge’s gut, the attitude completely changed. Not as easy at all.

Forme suddenly spun a second roundhouse to Pembridge’s head, sending him wheeling into the ropes, and a third kick had Forme pulling a complete back flip off of Pembridge’s chest before Forme sent him toward the ropes. Forme then followed it up with a quick handstand sliding heel kick to Pembridge’s face, knocking Pembridge to the mat. He followed it up with a quick standing moonsault for the cover…

1…

2…

KICKOUT!

Pembridge’s grimace came back to his face as he started back to his feet, but Forme popped a backflip kick to Pemridge’s jaw sending him back into the ropes, to which Forme immediately charged the ropes hopping over to the apron, then flipped over the ropes pulling Pembridge down with a strange adaptation of the diamond cutter. He shot his feet over for a reverse fujiwara armbar, locking the submission with Pembridge wondering how he had gotten to this position. The ropes were a kick away, though… and with the damage given, Forme gave up the hold.

The ref pushed Forme back, telling him to let Pembridge up due to the fact that he was in the ropes. Pembridge smiled wildly, realizing this match was definitely going to be a fun one. But as Forme came out with another kick, Pembridge was ready… catching the foot, and as Forme swung under for the Enziguri, Pembridge let go, watching Forme crash to the mat. As Forme struggled to his feet, Pembridge immediately walked to his side, pulling Forme over his head with a hard Sambo suplex, crushing Forme’s shoulders to the mat again.

Pembridge pulled Forme to his feet, sliding around to his back and slinging him over with a beautiful German suplex, then rolling through a second, third and fourth time… leaving Forme dizzied and pulled to his feet one last time. Suddenly a hard chop to the throat slammed Forme’s windpipe, causing him to choke as Pembridge laid in a kick to the gut… he pulled in the double-underhook… and lifted Forme onto his shoulder.

The running powerbomb came down fast and hard, shaking the ring with a violent boom. The crowd roared at the sound, and Pembridge stood up looking at Forme. The ref went over to see if Forme was ok, but Pembridge shoved him out of the way. The ref suddenly got to his feet and jumped at Pembridge… screaming that he was the ref and you weren’t supposed to touch him. Pembridge shoved him out of the way again… and this time the ref shoved back. Pembridge suddenly smiled, looked to the crowd as the “oooooh” screamed through, then turned to the ref laying in a hard clothesline sending him over the ropes and out cold.

DEGENERATE!
DEGENERATE!
DEGENERATE!

The chants were deafening as Pembridge realized his freedom from the rules of the match, now. He jumped out of the ring, grabbing a cable from one of the cameras and unplugged it. He climbed back into the ring and slung the cable around Forme’s neck… he looked straight into the camera mocking Kain through the lens, then pulled harder. Forme’s face turned bright purple as he choked… but suddenly the crowd started cheering madly.

Pembridge turned half expecting Kain to come running through the arena to interfere, but suddenly the smile on Pembridge’s face showed who it was.

El Emenopi had grabbed a chair, and he rushed the ring, swinging wildly. Pembridge ducked the first swing, and caught the second… pulling the chair from El’s grip, before hitting El in the gut with it and driving him into it with a hard vertical suplex. El rolled out of the ring, and coughed on the ground as the ref started to rouse… Forme slowly stood up, as Pembridge gave him the chair. Forme warily looked at the Scorpion of Manchester with a question in his eyes… The ref stood up, screaming to Forme not to swing… but the swing never came as Pembridge kicked the chair right into Forme’s face…

SCORPION BITE

Forme crashed back to the mat, defeated. The chair slid out of the ring, and since Pembridge hadn’t swung it… it was legal. Pembridge slid over Forme’s downed body, for the cover and the ref went to work as Pembridge counted it with his finger…

1…

2…

3!!!

Pembridge stood up smirking pointing at Forme and waving to the entryway, expecting Kain to come out. He never came… but the big screen flickered to life.

Winner: Vincent Pembridge

The Challenge Remains



“NOW SUCK ON THIS!” Jason Kain stood with an interviewer, looking straight through the camera to Pembridge.

“You think you’re God, don’t you, son! Like picking on little guys to try and prove your worth, no? Like attacking little kids backstage, endangering their lives and being all big and bad. And then when someone has something to say about it, you whine like a little bitch and cry about how someone wrote bad things about you. Then you proceed to challenge them, stating you can beat anyone. Well, why is it that you haven’t faced me yet? Oh… now I remember… you were injured right?”

Pembridge nodded, waving to the big screen, smirking widely.

“You seem better now! Don’t you?” Kain’s eyes flashed, angrily. “Why don’t you face me now? Oh, I forgot… you put out an open challenge, no? So you’re gonna go and ask, ‘Why didn’t YOU come and take the challenge?’ Well, as I noticed, there was only one person to get that challenge sheet… and that was the only guy who couldn’t win a match for his life… let alone his career. I saw your face when El didn’t show up for the match… it was a face of terror… you actually believed that you might not be able to prove yourself to me. 

You doubting yourself now, Pembridge? Call me a championship class loser, right? Look at yourself, your big championship match against Quinton May didn’t go to well… you LOST at your own game. And you have the gall to go and say I’m a championship class loser. Fine, I’ll accept that you have no short term memory and agree that yes, I lost my match. But motherfucker be damned if I don’t see you wimping out of fighting me again. So what will it be this time, oh Scorpion of Manchester?”

Pembridge looked up at the screen then climbed out of the ring and started up the ramp. The crowd expected him to just charge to where Kain was and attack him.

“Finally got some balls? I’ll meet you half way! Because the world only has nine words for you…”

And the crowd chanted along…

“YOU THINK YOU HAVE A CHANCE!?!?”

Pembridge walked through the entryway and vanished from view. And the crowd finished along with Kain.

“DIDN’T THINK SO!!!”

Kain threw the mic to the ground and walked out of view from the interview area as the scene faded from view. The cheers of the crowd growing wild with anticipation.

The Mis-Adventures of Los Locos Moscocos! Pt. 2



There was quiet in the arena, the chants for Jason Kain had subsided as El slowly stood up. He looked over to Forme who laid in the ring, holding his head. El quickly slid into the ring, pulling Forme to his head. 

The crowd suddenly changed their attention to the ring again as El started trying to comfort Forme for his loss… but Forme pulled his arm away from him, yelling at him that it was his fault for the loss. El suddenly put up a finger for Forme to quiet down, and slid out of the ring. El grabbed a mic, then fumbled around under the ring pulling out a box wrapped in orange with a huge blue bow on it.

“I know what weel make you feel better, mang! I got something for you!” He slid back into the ring.

Forme grabbed the mic away from El, opened his mouth to say something, then looked around, threw the mic to the ground and slapped the box out of El Emenopi’s hands. El quickly grabbed the box off the mat, and looked at Forme sadly. Forme pointed out of the ring, shoving El out. El frowned then walked up the ramp. Forme looked at him and gave him the finger behind his back, then climbed out himself, walking up the ramp behind El Emenopi.

Let’s Talk



Vince Jacobs was relaxing in his dressing room watching the monitors of some of the action from tonight’s Courage. Jacobs grabbed some grapes from the fruit tray and started to pop them in his mouth. Jacobs propped his feet up on the table as suddenly he heard a knock at his door.

“Come in.” Vince yelled

The door knob turned as Brian Carter walked into the dressing room to see SVJ sitting on the sofa enjoying Courage so far. Brian Carter walked further into the room while shutting the door behind him. Carter slowly walked to the chair that was sitting across from the sofa where SVJ was sitting and sat down.

“What can I do for you boss?”

Carter sat back on the chair with his hands folded…

“Well I wanted to talk to you about what you told me last week.”

Vince just looked on at Carter and nodded…

“I haven’t found anything to substantiate your allegations. I need proof that Inferno is a danger to himself and the people in the back.”

“So my word isn’t good enough for you.”

Carter shook his head. “I need proof Vince. No offense to you but I don’t trust anything anyone says. That’s why I am the business man I am today.”

“If you say so boss. If you want proof then you got proof. I just have to make a few calls and you will have something soon.”

Carter stood up and shook Jacobs’ hand. Carter turned toward the door, turned the knob and opened the door. Carter walked out and closed the door behind him.

“Fucking prick.” 

006.392 Vs. "Superstar" Vince Jacobs

  

“Forest” by System Of A Down.

006.392 walked out to a wonderful reception. Although he was clad in the same attire from the KoA pay-per-view, sporting a dark red tank top, knee-length denim shorts and the customary black shoes, the approach to the squared circle was very different. He sauntered to the ring looking a little worse for wear, still feeling the affects from his match with Keegan at KoA.

He wanted to prove a point that he could stand in the ring with any one of the ACW finest superstars and this week he gets to prove it in what may the toughest match in his short ACW career. 006.392 was facing the self proclaimed Superstar, Vince Jacobs. He slowly made his way into the ring and stood in the corner waiting.

“So you wanna be a ring superstar, and live large
a big house, 5 cars, you’re in charge.
Comin’ up in the world, don’t trust nobody…
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly.”

Purple and gold strobe lights flickered and flashed through out the arena as a golden star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame was shown. The crowd gave a mixed reaction amidst ‘Ring Superstar’ by Cypress Hill playing in the background.

‘Superstar’ Vince Jacobs strolled out to the stage with his arms outward spinning around. Vince wore his trademark black wrestling tights with the gold ‘SUPERSTAR’ down the right pant leg. He had on a t-shirt that said 21 > 006.392.

“You wanna be a ring superstar in the biz…
and take shit from people who don’t know what it is
I wish it was all fun and games, but the price of fame is high…
and some can’t pay the way.

Still trapped in what you rapping about
Tell me what happened when you lost
The route you took started collapsing
No fans no fame no respect no change no women
And everybody shittin on your name.”

SVJ walked slowly toward the ring and stood near the apron. Jacobs climbed into the ring and stood in the corner bouncing back and forth. Jacobs took his t-shirt off and threw it into the crowd. Vince was ready for this match as 006.392 was also ready.

The bell sounded as the two men met in the center of the ring. Vince Jacobs looked over the young lad as he smirked. 006.392 was not in the least bit intimidating by SVJ. He slapped 006.392 across his face as 006.392 faced turned to the side. Vince went to throw a right hand but was blocked by 006.392. A left was blocked this time. Suddenly the young lad took the fight to Vince by throwing rights of his own.

Vince was backing up from every shot he took from 006.392. Jacobs was backed up to the ropes as 006.392 grabbed his arm and whipped him into the far ropes. Jacobs bounced off the ropes and was nailed by a big dropkick from 006.392. SVJ quickly rolled to the floor holding his jaw as he heard it from the fans at ringside. Vince walked around the ring before he started to make his way back into the ring.

006.392 ran across the ring quickly and nailed SVJ with a baseball slide that sent Jacobs flying backwards to the guardrail. 006.392 rolled to the floor to go after Jacobs. Vince was walking around the ring slowly as 006.392 followed him. 006.392 nailed Jacobs from behind with a clothesline that sent Vince sprawling to the ground.

006.392 picked up Jacobs and rolled him into the ring. 006.392 followed Jacobs as Vince was moving backwards begging for mercy. 006.392 walked closer to Vince who grabbed him by his trunks and shoved him into the corner shoulder first. Jacobs slowly got to his feet and pulled 006.392 from the corner. Vince picked up 006.392 and slammed him hard to the mat working on the injury-riddled spine of ‘the upstart’.

Jacobs picked up 006.392 and drove him down to the mat with a quick snap power bomb. The fans booed loudly as Vince posed in the ring for the fans.

S-V-J SUCKS!!
S-V-J SUCKS!!
S-V-J SUCKS!!
S-V-J SUCKS!!
S-V-J SUCKS!!

SVJ gave all his fans the one finger salute as he bent down to pick up 006.392. SVJ was quickly surprised as 006.392 caught him with an inside package.

ONE…

TWO…

KICKOUT!!

Jacobs quickly got to his feet and clotheslined 006.392 down to the mat. He didn’t like being embarrassed like that and he started to take it out on 006.392. Vince laid into ‘the upstart’ with some well-placed kicks to the small of his back. You can hear 006.392 scream in pain with every shot to his back.

“AAAAAHHH!!”

“Come on kid, get to your feet.”

Vince started to slap 006.392 in the back of the head to get him to his feet. SVJ pulled 006.392 slowly to his feet and whipped him into the ropes. 006.392 came off the ropes and slid under the legs of Jacobs. Vince turned around only to get a kick to the gut.

SNAP DDT!!

The fans erupted from the move by 006.392. Jacobs was down on the mat as 006.392 went to the top rope. The fans were cheering 006.392 with every rope he climbed. Jacobs was still down on the mat as 006.392 came off the top rope on SVJ.

FLYING GUILLOTINE LEG DROP

HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!

006.392 quickly hooked Jacobs’ leg for the cover.

ONE…

TWO…

THR--- NO!! JACOBS BARELY GOT HIS SHOULDER UP!!

That was almost the biggest upset in ACW history. 006.392 held his hands on his head because he thought he had this thing won. He wasn’t the only one in the arena that thought he won; the fans were also in shock to, thinking 006.392 pulled out the upset. 006.392 stood to his feet waiting for SVJ to get to his feet. Vince slowly got to his feet with the help of the ropes as 006.392 raced toward Vince but Jacobs was ready as he held the ropes down and 006.392 went flying over the ropes to the floor.

Jacobs made his way to his feet as he looked down to the floor at 006.392. 006.392 started to make his way to his feet slowly. Vince went to the top rope and walked to the middle of the ropes…

The Ratings Grabber

Both men were down on the floor as the crowd let out their feelings for what they just witnessed.

HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!

The ref looked down at both men on the ground and started his count.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…

FOUR…

Both men started to move…

FIVE…

SIX…

SEVEN…

Jacobs got to his feet first and rolled into the ring…

EIGHT…

006.392 sprinted into the ring before the ten count. Vince saw 006.392 on his knees as he raced across the ring and nailed 006.392…

STAR GAZER

Vince quickly covered 006.392 for the pinfall.

ONE…

TWO…

THR-- NO!! JACOBS PULLED 006.392 UP BY THE HAIR!!

I guess it wasn’t time for Vince to pin the young kid. Vince hoisted 006.392 to his feet. The poor kid could hardly stand. Vince hooked 006.392…

STAR STRUCK

That was it as the crowd yelled their displeasure because they knew it was over. Vince dropped down and nonchalantly covered 006.392 for the pin. The ref dropped down for the count.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…

IT’S OVER… VINCE JACOBS PICKED UP ANOTHER VICTORY!!

Vince raised his arms high in the air after his victory. Suddenly the fans erupted because Dante Inferno raced down to the ring with a steel chair in his hand. Vince turned around and saw Inferno and motioned for him to get in the ring. Inferno slid into the ring as SVJ rolled out the ring.

“BOOOOOOOOOOO”

The fans wanted to see these two men go at it in the middle of the ring but Vince Jacobs wasn’t having that. Jacobs grabbed a microphone as he walked around the ring back peddling up the ramp.

“What the hell is your problem, Dante? I mean first you attack me for no reason last week and now you try to damage this gorgeous body with a steel chair.”

Inferno stood in the ring with a chair in his hand motioning for Jacobs to come into the ring.

“Carter if you are listening, this is what I am talking about. This man is a menace. He is a psychopath that needs to be in a mental institution. The man is not in his right mind.”

“BOOOOOOO..”

“Why the hell are you people booing me? I am ‘Superstar’ Vince Jacobs and I am Pro Wrestling’s Phenomenon. No one in the ACW can hold a candle to me. I retired the only two time World Heavyweight Champion in ACW’s history. I am a man among boys in this sport.”

S-V-J SUCKS!!
S-V-J SUCKS!!
S-V-J SUCKS!!
S-V-J SUCKS!!
S-V-J SUCKS!!

“Dokic, if you ever feel the urge to be shown a wrestling lesson than I would be more than happy to oblige. Oh don’t think I will forget about what you did last week and what you TRIED to do this week. Believe you me, Mr. Carter will definitely hear about this little episode.”

Vince Jacobs dropped the microphone and headed to the backstage area as Inferno looked on obviously fuming. This is not going to be the end of this situation between Inferno and Jacobs.

Winner: Vince Jacobs

Sin Is In



El Emenopi walked through the long corridor of the arena. Under his breath he began to mumble about how he was not appreciated and how he had more talent than anyone else on the roster. He was bitter, he was filled with envy and that same envy would be his downfall on this night.

“El” Whispered a woman’s voice in a longing way. If he had to guess she sounded horny and she was moaning out his name! Emenopi turned as fast as he could but saw nothing, a frown moved over his face as he kept going. His mind told him that it had played a trick on him but he didn’t find it funny; He didn’t find it funny at all. 

“He can free you El,” The soft voice whispered again. Her words licked across El’s senses as the smell of a woman filled his nostrils. If this was a trick then it was one hell of a trick. He turned again, shadows had followed.

“It’s just in your head” He told himself as he began mopping up a spill on the floor. Yes he was a janitor and he hated his job, he hated the higher ups because he was better and they wouldn’t give him a chance…he <I>envied</I> them so. 

A hand reached out and drug him into the darkness, his screams, like SVJ’s were heard through the arena. The camera man quickly ran over and there laid El, bloody, battered, and on his exposed chest was a big green E. Once again an index card was left behind. 

“Envy: You’ll never have what you want”

Also, under the E was a green number two. On the back of a passing by staff member was a red, demonic eight. 

The Mis-Adventures of Los Locos Moscocos! Pt. 3



“WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING OUT THERE!?!?” Forme shoved El into the corner of the locker room.

“I… I was trying to help!” El smiled feebly.

“Don’t. Help. Me. Ever. Again.” Forme’s facial expression turned from hatred to… even more hatred. “I HAD that match, until you and your stupid chair!”

“You… you looked like you needed…” El struggled against Forme’s forearm, which pushed against his collarbone crushing him against the wall.

“I didn’t need ANYTHING!” Forme let him go, sneering. El held his throat as Forme walked over to the orange and blue box that El had tried giving him right after the match. He slapped it off the counter, then walked out of the room.

El looked at the box sadly, then picked it up. He smirked, then looked out the door after Forme.

“He’ll get over it. I’ll geeve thees to heem next week.”

An Unlikely Meeting - Part 2



CJ Trenton was in a long hallway, leaning up against the wall, minding his own business.

Or was he?

Out of the bathroom walked Chin Lee, Li Xiao’s manager. CJ was laying in wait for his prey. CJ walked up to Lee as the small man bumped into the broad chest of Trenton.

“Hey mista! Watch where you..” Lee’s voice trailed off into nothing short of a whisper as he saw CJ grinning down at him with a glimmer in his eyes.

“Hello Mr. Miyagi.” CJ teased.

Lee snapped his finger at CJ, but found it best not to say anything without Communistic Juggernaut by his side. So Lee just stood there and took the verbal beating from CJ like any inferior weakling would do.

“Not to big without Xiao around are you Mr. Miyagi?” CJ said creeping closer to Chin until he had his back flat against the wall.

“What was it you said earlier to me now? You called me something, and for the life of me it just slip my mind!” CJ said sarcastically before staring Chin white in the eye. “Oh yeah,” CJ said with a dramatic pause. “Bitch!” Lee’s eyes became shifty as CJ’s sinister breath was breezing down his neck. Chin winced.

And then something happened.

“Yah! That right. I call you bitch!” Lee’s face was coming back to life. “Now, get outtah my face before you get hurt!”

CJ laughed.

Xiao grunted.

CJ closed his eyes and mouthed the words "Shit" as he turned around. The massive 7-footer stood towering over the dwarfed body of CJ, as Lee backed out of his corner. Xiao raised his hands as he barreled down upon CJ. Instinctively, CJ raised his foot and hit Xiao in the middle of his legs with all he had.

With a squeal, Xiao doubled over momentarily, stunned by the swift kick. Taking advantage while the big man was down, CJ searched around for some sort of weapon.

He settled on a nearby trashcan.

CJ grabbed the trashcan next to the bathroom door and shoved it over the upperhalf of Xiao’s body, trash falling out onto him. Xiao’s colossal frame molded to the pliable metal as he grunted and groaned, running his body into the wall, not knowing who turned the lights out.

CJ laughed as he took off down the hall, all the while hearing the clanks and bangs of Xiao - running into the wall - trying to get the trashcan off. As CJ stopped to catch his breath, he peered around the corner to see Chin Lee struggling to pull the can off his massive friend.

CJ grinned. The score was tied.

The Challenge Avoided!



Papers were everywhere. Jade sat in the corner, and she was staring at the monitor in shock. Pembridge had fought again on the same night… against someone else… and Kain was furious.

“WHAT THE FUCK!?” Kain stood up, throwing his chair at the monitor smashing it. This was the second time in one night that Pembridge had stuck it to Kain without even laying a hand on him, and it was getting to Kain… horribly. “CHALLENGE ME YOU ASSHOLE!!!”

Jade stood up, she stood next to Kain and looked at the demolished screen.

“Fine… if he’s not going to answer your challenge, Jae… just take it out on someone else. Play his game they way he is.” Jade smirked. “We’ll just ask for another match. Against whomever… you know you can beat anyone here, right? I mean you went one on one against our champion! You took him to the final second of the match, and STILL went out against him in a tie-breaker! No one else could do that! You know that you can beat anyone here… so we’ll just prove to Pembridge that his shit isn’t working… got it?”

“It’s not Pembridge.” Kain stood staring at the smoking machine.

“I know it isn’t… but it’s the next best thing… it’s Pembridge’s mind. Prove it to him.” She smirked then turned toward him and kissed him. “You’re better than him. You have me.”

Kain smiled for a short moment. Then frowned looking at the monitor. He hadn’t gotten his temper completely under control yet. But if he was going to do it, it was going to be done soon.

ACW World Heavyweight Championship Match
Alias Vs. Elijah Arson

  

The challenger.

House lights dim.

"Fuck Your Enemy" by Superjoint's Ritual

Elijah Arson

He had defeated ACW’s first King of Ages... the night he became King of Ages.

He had almost won the Television Championship the week after that.

Now… now he got the first shot at the World Championship. It only made sense, right? As he walked down to the ring, receiving a favorable reaction from the crowd, his adrenaline still pumped… coursing through his veins after what was seen as a five star match last week.

Still, he came up short… but now he was on an entirely different stage. This was an opponent that Alias wanted; Arson was the man that defeated the King of Ages after all.

Speaking of Alias…

“Faint”

The Original Pulp Hero

… and the crowd was on their feet, ready to put one hundred and ten percent of their support behind the World Champion, a man who had been through a hell of a lot this last week. Arson would be Alias’s way of venting; Eli knew this and damn sure wouldn’t back down. Last week had flipped the script… SilverHAWK, the original ACW good guy, had screwed over both Alias and the fans… now Alias had a plan to even the score, but before that he just needed to punch someone in the fuckin’ face.

Alias lifted the huge gold championship to rumbling waves of cheers from the fans, before he finally made it to the front of the ring and rolled in. Handing the belt to the referee, Alias stared down his opponent in Elijah Arson. Arson returned the stare, in kind. Alias broke the stare-down and jumped up onto the second turnbuckle just long enough to raise a fist to the crowd. Jumping back down to the mat Alias walked to the center of the squared circle, coming face to face with Arson. All the ref could do now was signal for the bell.

The bell rang.

The match was on.

Alias and Arson circled one another before they locked up, dead-center in the ring. Alias probably could've overpowered Arson right here, all Arson had was a 15 pound weight advantage on Alias, but this wasn't his style.

Instead, Alias did a go-behind, into the waistlock takedown, and spun around into the front headlock. However, Arson twisted around into an arm wringer. However, Alias was on to him, and with his free arm, managed to get a handstand kip up, and reversed the arm wringer into his own, all the while, Arson stood up with him.

Alias began to put more weight into the arm wringer before pulling him in and sending a knee into Arson’s mid section. With this, Alias irish-whipped Arson into the ropes.

However, Arson reversed the whip and sent him into the ropes. Arson went for a charging elbow strike, but Alias ducked the shot and ran off of the opposite ropes. When Alias came back, though, he was hit with a quick armdrag and sent down to the canvas. The Pulp Hero scrambled to his feet, only to take another armdrag.

However, the third time round was different.
Alias used what agility advantage he had over Arson and landed on his feet after Elijah's attempted hip toss, then he spun around and caught Arson with a hard kick to the gut followed by a vicious jumping piledriver, a nod to his days in the WWRPG, it was effective in knocking Arson for a loop.

Elijah Arson laid on the canvas, while Alias just laid in the stomps. Right now the crowd was all the way behind there World Champion.

AL-I-AS

AL-I-AS

AL-I-AS

AL-I-AS

Alias brought Arson to his feet and blasted him in the face with a hard elbow to the side of the head… then blasted with another elbow smash, this time right between the eyes.

The challenger stumbled back against the ropes. Alias held the back of Arson's head and began to pepper him with eblow smash after elbow smash… throwing in a couple of punches to the head here and there. Arson was just brewing with adrenaline, soaking in the pain and punishment.

An irish whip was reversed by the challenger, but Alias had come back with a spinning heel kick. Arson got back onto his feet in a hurry and went at Alias with a clothesline. Alias ducked down quick and took Elijah down hard to the mat with a drop toe hold before quickly attempting to lock in a Crippler Crossface.

Arson quickly rolled away before Alias could lock it in properly. The Original Pulp Hero wasn't about to just settle for a pinfall on this night, nope, he was looking to make Arson tap out. If that was even possible. Alias got up onto his feet just as Arson was charging towards him. Arson backed Alias up against a ringpost and let loose with a barrage of shots to the body. Arson, with the break he needed, tossed Alias into the ropes. Alias bounced off, and Arson tried to kick him in the gut.

Alias slid underneath it, however, and tripped Arson in the process. Arson fell on his face, and Alias immediately kipped up, clutching his stomach. Alias moved in to pick Arson up; however, Arson countered it into a small package.

One.

Two.

An eyelash away from three, Alias managed to break the pinfall attempt. Both men got up immediately, and Alias charged Arson. Arson, however, countered with a jumping clothline.

It was something akin to “Knocked The Fuck Out”… just not with as much power behind it seeing as he was in mid-air at the time.

One.

Two.

Not this time. Alias kicked out.

Elijah picked up the champion, and went for a punch. However, Alias blocked it. Arson went for another, and was again rebuffed. Deciding to go with a different plan of attack, Arson kicked Alias in the gut, and then hit a DDT. Alias was then picked up by Arson, and then was kicked in the back. Arson quickly brought Alias up now and turned this into…

Restore… Capture Suplex… Ow.

The crowd was still ademently behind their hero, willing him to get back up, though he was now in a bad place.

PULP

PULP

PULP

Still, Arson went for the pin.

One!

Two!

Thr-

Alias kicked out, upset that he had yet to get more then one pin attempt. He immediately charged Arson, catching him off-guard. Alias clotheslined Arson. Arson got up, and Alias clotheslined him again. Arson got up again, and Alias went for another clothesline.

Arson ducked it this time… but a bit too early; Alias turned it into a swinging neckbreaker, then quickly got up. Alias ran towards and then leapt up to the top rope, and quickly jumped off, twisting his body into the air. He landed the splash on Arson, and the ref slid to the mat, counting another pin.

One.

Two.

Three.

YAAAA… Not so fast. Arson got a shoulder up, barely.

Alias, having finally grabbed the upper hand in the match, was not about to let it go. He brought Arson up and snap suplexed him to the mat, brining him up again, hooking his head for a DDT. Arson, however, drove forward, knocking Alias into the corner and forcing him to release the hold. As Alias staggered out from the corner, Arson attempted at hip toss, but Alias wasn’t nearly as dazed as he should’ve been, reversing it into a hip toss of his own.

He scooped Arson and set him up for a high-angle powerbomb, the move – from the top of a ladder – that had put the nail in his first true World Championship win, but as he hoisted Arson up on his shoulders Arson hooked his legs behind his head and began to pound away with fists. Alias dropped him down but Arson kept his legs hooked and brought Alias down instead, all the way through, hooking his leg from behind.

One.

Two.

Before the third count could go down, Alias hooked his other leg around Arson’s other shoulder and pulled his body down to the mat with it.

One!

Two!

Arson felt his body go the other way and pushed back, so that Alias’s shoulders were down and the two men were now facing in opposite directions.

One!!

TWO!!

Alias powered out with a bridge, did a frickin double- turn and hooked Arson for a backslide, dropping to his knees for more leverage.

ONE!!

TWO!!

Kickout by Arson. The fans applauded both men for their efforts, dueling chants even beginning to start up though understandably more vocal for Alias, and the ref shock his mat slapping hand in pain.

CON-STANT

PULP

CON-STANT

PULP

Alias grabbed Arson’s arm and sent him into the ropes, catching him on the rebound, hoisting him up in the air, and dropping him face first to the mat. He pulled Arson to his feet and sent him into the ropes again, catching him with somewhat of a bear hug before sending up and over with a belly-to-belly suplex. Alias hooked the leg, the referee slid down to count.

One...

Two...

Thr—Kickout!

Alias got to his feet and circled, wiping the pouring sweat from his brow. When Elijah Arson had gotten to his knees, Alias laid a heavy boot in the back of his head, knocking him into the middle rope.

He pressed down, immediately garnering a five- count from the referee. Breaking the choke at four, he pulled Arson to his feet, hooking his feet and his leg and landing a picture perfect Fisherman’s Suplex.

One...

Two...

Three—NO! Kickout just before the referee’s hand came down for the twenty-ish time of the match.

Alias once again brought Arson up and sent him into the ropes, but when he turned his back in order to deliver a back elbow to his face, Arson himself had taken the opportunity to grab the top rope as he bounded into it and pulled himself over onto the ring apron, nearly slipping in the process.

He slingshotted himself to the top rope itself and just as Alias was turning around, he came off with a flying clothesline that sent both men to the mat.

Alias was back to his first… slowly… back he was still back up first. He had had enough pinfall attempts on this night… now it was for someone to submit, or die trying.

Alias immediately applied a half crab hold to Elijah Arson. He didn't squat down, he was three steps away from being too damn tired, he just simply elevated the hold into what had to be an Inmate… SNAP~!... level of half crab. Alias let out a war cry, trying to stretch Arson as much as he could.

This ended up costing him, as his pulling eventually allowed Arson to push up with his hands and then slip and roll through Alias's legs, until he was on his back in front of Alias. A simple shove with his other foot brought down the World Champion and in the process deflating the cheers from the crowd… sure they where beginning to get fond of Arson… but that didn’t mean a large percentage of the people in attendance wanted him to win.

Arson wasn’t quite in the best shape to stand at the moment and once again Alias was the first to get to his feet as he pulled Arson back up with him before hitting him with a kneebreaker. Still holding on to the leg, Alias locked in his signature Sharpshooter variation.

“WAKE THE DEVIL!!”

Arson writhed and twisted in pain, but he eventually scratched and struggled on the canvas until he made it to the ropes, oddly enough however… this did not make Alias frusturated. Though Arson fought back valiantly it was all just meant to weaken him for that killing blow.

Alias started climbing the turnbuckle, step by step, and turning around towards Arson who still lay on his back at the side of the ring, Alias stood up on the top rope and held his connected hands in the air for his own anarchy A… and in itself a nod to one Joey Malone, before he leapt off, spread his arms in the air, and landed his Glasgow Kiss headbutt on Elijah Arson from ½ the way across the ring. Once again, the fans exploded in shock and then quickly after an explosion of cheers, as this was one of Alias's most effective maneuvers. Arson now lay flat on the canvas.

Alias kicked up from the canvas, the adrenaline and excitement within him had now completely kicked out any pain… he dragged the Constant slowly into the center of the ring and brought Arson up to his knees before quickly bouncing behind him and locking IT in.

Anarchy’s Lullaby… version 3.

Alias placed both his feet on the back of the Arson's bent knees and sat down, leaving his knees bent so that they where dug into Arson’s back.. Alias grabbed Arson’s right arm and pulled it up so that the arm was above the shoulder and the wrist was trapped in Alias’s elbow. Alias locked his right hand around Arson's chin before finally reaching under Arson's other arm with his left hand and pulling back, applying pressure to the Arson's neck and arm while stretching them across their knees.

Ten seconds ticked by… and already some very bad things could happen if this hold was locked in any longer… Arson knew this. God damnnit… so close, two consecutive weeks, but oh so far away.

TAP

TAP

TAP

The ref called for the bell. Alias retains.

For the second straight week the arena explodes in deafening cheers for the main event match-up. Eli had every to be proud of… even though that thought was farthest from his mind. He had defeated Keller, the King of Ages, just three weeks ago. Just last week he had put out a classic of a match against a very very gritty competitor in Quinton May. Today he had kept the momentum going… another great fecking match, and against the World Champion, no less. So after just two months in ACW he was a competitor to be taken quite seriously. Arson rolled from the ring and made his way to the backstage area.

The man of the moment, however, was Alias. The Original Pulp Hero. The Phoenix.

The World Champion.

He lifted his glistening gold trophy to the crowd. The explosion of cheers had yet to die down.

After what had happened last week, this seemed like quite a nice notch on the positive side of things. However it looked like such a good night was NOT going to end with roses. Out of the cheering crowd came one man… with one chair… followed by a second man.

Keller.

Hawk.

Chair.

Alias.

Face.

Boo.

Kristain Keller had slid into the ring behind Alias, chair in hand, with SilverHAWK close behind him. Without time for the crowd to even react Keller clipped Alias up side the head with the steel chair before driving it several more times into his upper body and face as Alias lay prone on the mat.

The crowd was now riotous as Keller threw the chair aside and started stomping the man who he would come face to face with at Manchester Mayhem. Keller dragged Alias to his feet and Alias just stood there… barely conscious on rubber legs.

SilverHAWK wound up and punched Alias in the jaw as Keller kept Alias standing… drawing even more boos from the corwd, if possible. Hawk grabbed Alias by the hair and whispered calmly into his ear.

“What happened in that first Pounded and Fused match… when I locked you up and knocked your ass out… will be nothing compared to what Keller and I have planned to take the title away from y-.”

Without warning, though, Hawk was cut short… and even the Edmonton crowd was left speechless when the arena went BLACK.

Winner: Alias

The Trump Card… natch



Fifteen seconds go by in the dark.

A short fight can be heard inside the ring… random people in the crowd scream just cause… and when the lights finally turn back on, it’s nothing that anyone ever expected.

Khristain Keller and SilverHAWK now stand by themselves in the ring, a look of shock and awe on there face as they look at the man at the top of the ramp… this wasn’t even the first time the guy had pulled Alias’s ass from the fire.

The crowd… the crowd was tearing the place apart… the last place they had gotten a chance to see HIM was in Action!, and hell even the fWo fans where still clambering to see this guy. He still looked like a million dollars… and was probably worth 30-ish times that, thanks somewhat recently in part to Joe Campbell.

But Alias just stood there… half way up the ramp. His world championship hanging from his hand. A smile on his bloody and battered face.

Oh? That man at the top of the ramp? Alias’s trump card and now Alias’s opponent in Calgary next Courage?

Ruben Ross

*nod*... holy shit.

But for now… Courage was outta here like it stole something.

Yeah I thought you’d like that retro touch.
