Card subject to change without notice

Previously - At Revival, not only is the federation's current status on the line, but so it gold, and jobs.
Revival is gearing up to be much more important than a regular PPV.

Push my fingers into my eyes...
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache...
But it's made of all the things I am today...
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside...
If the pain goes on...
Aaaaaaaah!

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited last, my time's elapsed
Now, All I do is live with so much fate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the words
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like on big past
You'll live with me 'cause you left me no choice

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

Pull me back together
Our seperate the skin from the bone
Leave me all the Pieces, and then you can leave me
alone
Tell me the reality is better than dream
But I found out the hard way,
Nothing is what it seems!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the thing I am today
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got...all I've got is insane...
All I've got...all I've got is insane...
All I've got...all I've got is insane!
All I've got...all I've got is insane!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the thing I am today
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

A Meeting of Minds

Oh God, what a way to start Courage. If it wasn’t the new Scorpion Fighting champion Phil Atken walking in one direction along a corridor backstage, and Chris Messiah, the… Northern Irish Schoolboy Tiddlywinks champion, walking in the opposite direction. You don’t need a degree in Mathematics to work out where this is going, but it certainly helped me. Apart from having the degree in Mathematics part, which I do not have.

“Hoy there, Philip!” yelled Chris to his approaching sworn enemy.

“Hello, cunt face.”

It is comments like those that make baby Jesus cry.

“Chris, I notice you admiring all my gold. Isn’t it all pretty? The Action! Wrestling championship, and the ACW Scorpion Fighting championship. Where’re your two title belts Chris?”

“I… forgot them.”

“No, Chris. You don’t have any, because you’re a loser.”

“Am not! Those subliminal message tapes I listen to in bed tell me so: ‘You are not a loser, Chris. You’re a winner. No, your father can’t come to the phone, he’s asleep in the armchair again. If he doesn’t get off his lazy ass and help around this house, I’m going to divorce him.’”

“What?”

“Okay, so I make my own tapes. Big deal.”

“Anyway, feck, arse, drink, girls. I have some belt-polishing to do. You haven’t done that in a long, long time, sure you haven’t?”

That was the Final Straw. Snow Patrol’s new album was emulating from somebody’s stereo in a locker-room nearby. On hearing the song “Run,” Chris took its advice and took off, legging it passed Phil and out a fire exit. Phil turned and chased after him, to see where he was going. All he saw was Chris jumping into a rental car and speeding off. That fact that it wasn’t Chris’ rental car brought on the thought that maybe Chris was going to run somebody over, but Phil shrugged it off and went back inside. He had a match to win tonight.

Simian Kade Vs. Rome the Vile
Author - Oz
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  

As ACW’s first PPV back returned from an advertisement about upcoming events, already stationed in the ring were Rome the Vile and Simian Kade. Both men were standing eye to eye with chants ringing out from the crowd.

“Rome the Vile.”
“Rome the Vile.”
“Rome the Vile.”

The fans bellowed their message throughout the arena, however the two competitors dared not move. The fans continued to chant as Rome and Kade began to talk trash.

Repeatedly they yelled back and forth at each until both were red with anger that’s when it boiled over. 

Kade connected with a right hand, and then another. But Rome did not back away. He threw a right of his own, hitting Kade square in the jaw. Another right from Rome, then another, and another, and another. 

Kade was pushed back into the turnbuckle as the fans cheered. He looked out into the thousands of people and the few television cameras stationed around the ring. He looked up at Rome, who was doing the same. They both realized ACW was growing, it wasn’t on the stage it was before the hiatus. But it was sure getting there. 

Quickly Rome refocused and drove a knee hard into the abdomen of Kade, knocking the wind from the Fallen Angel. Again the fans started up a chant. 

“Simian SUCKS!” 
“Simian SUCKS!”
“Simian SUCKS!”

The fans called out their message to the one they had chose to hate as Rome continued to deliver punishment to the ribs and the upper body. Simian grimaced in pain; Rome’s momentum was growing, the crowd could sense it. The match was still very young, but Kade’s body had already taken a bit of a beating as Rome continued with the consistent knees to the ribs. 

Finally he Irish-whipped Kade into the opposite turnbuckle. He hit hard, the impact shook the canvas; Rome charged. 

The two bodies colliding sent Kade further into the corner, he came back like a rubber ball hitting a cement floor. Vile leveled him with a thunderous clothesline that nearly beheaded his adversary. 

The fans continued to cheer with Rome going back to the offensive moves that had plagued Kade thus far in the match. 

He dropped an elbow into the heart of New York’s Finest. The air was forced from his lungs. As Kade fought for breath Rome raised him to his feet. An Irish-whip and a back body drop later, Kade was right back on the mat again.

Vile took a second to acknowledge the crowd’s support, they cheered back, but no one in the building noticed Kade get to his feet and execute a school boy on Vile. 

… 1

… 2 

… Kick out by Rome. 

*Phew*

The fans breathed a sigh of relief. Although they began to boo just as quickly when Kade dropped a hard knee into the throat area of Rome. 

DDT! 

Rome fell hard, and just as fast as Kade had raised him off the canvas.

The fans were brought to their feet once more though as Rome popped up to his to feet. His attempts were to no avail however as after a high boot to the chin he was right on the mat. Kade dropped down, he began to apply heavy pressure to the joint of Vile…

Ankle lock. 

Vile screamed in pain. Kade screamed with anticipation. The fans screamed with hatred. 

“Kade you SUCK!”
“Kade you SUCK!”
“Kade you SUCK!”

The fans bellowed it through the arena. Kade loved it, he smiled as the fans yelled. However, Rome still had a full supply of energy. He crawled to the ropes, breaking the hold. 

“Let him go!” The referee ordered. 

“1!” 

“2!”

“3!”

“4!” 

Kade released the ankle to the delight of Rome who tried to make it to his feet as quickly as he could trying to nullify any onslaught that may have been coming his way. Kade fed a swift kick into his ribs, sending him to one knee. 

An axehandle later and Rome was eating canvas. Kade climbed onto the second rope between the two turnbuckles. He bounced up and dropped down with a viscous knee into the kidneys. His 284-pound torso landed on Vile’s 235-pound body – not a good mixture. 

Rome yelped in pain, as would any normal human being. 

Kade backed away, he readied himself for Rome to come to his feet. 

That happened, but the rest did not as Kade had planned. 

The Great Depression missed and Kade was tossed through the ropes and onto the floor below. He lay there for several moments before Rome rolled out of the ring. 

He looked down at Kade’s limp body. He was breathing very heavily. Vile picked him up and to the delight of the fans…

Thwack!

… Kade was thrown hard into the steel ring steps. The impact didn’t do much, except appear to put Kade in some discomfort. The stairs didn’t move. The fans took in every moment of it. Kade ran at Kade who sitting by the steps at this point. 

Smack.

Knee to face. Skull to steel. Blood to floor. You know the drill. 

Almost immediately after the impact the blood began to trickle from the back of Kade’s skull. He kicked his legs in pain as Vile began to stomp on the back on the leg of Kade. 

Rome picked up his adversary and rolled him back into the ring. He began to once again talk trash as Kade held the back of his crimson red head. 

… 1

… 2

… Kick out. 

“Fuck,” he yelled out, as the parents in the audience covered the ears of their children. Vile just shrugged as the fans began to chant…

“Vile!”
“Vile!” 
“Vile!”

Thump.

Balls = No more?… 

That’s a definite possibility. The low blow brought Rome to his knees. 

Crack. 

The swift kick from Kade right to Vile’s fact brought blood. Both men were cut both men were dazed. However Kade still had the stableness to smack Rome across the face. 

Rome’s nose was clearly broken as he was still on his knees holding his crimson toned face. 

Kade looked down with his hands on his knees. 

“You like mother fucker? How’s it feel to be spit on and tossed to the curb?” Kade yelled. 

He spit right in the face of Rome, and by the hair, tossed him to the canvas. 

Kade turned to the fans and screamed obscenities. 

Bad move. 

The Great Depression.

Kade’s own finishing maneuver had just been used against him. Rome’s shoulder had gone straight into the ribs of Simian, knocking him down and out. 

… 1 

… 2 

… 3 

Rome got to his feet. Bloody nose and all, he would walk out of Revival the victor. He was on the right track, and the smile across his face proved that. 

WINNER : Rome the Vile

It was nearly over.

That first, impossible month would make or break him he was told.

He was still to find out which is was.

Ideas were in motion. 

Superstars were being built. 

A new structure was being molded.

It was all like he had planned so far...so far it had all gone to that plan.

Tonight was either going to show just how good he was at this.

Or.

Tonight was going to show that with ACW...planning is a pointless exercise.

Bantam Diablo Vs. Alex Draper

Bartender by (Hed) P.E.

Alex Draper raised his arm as he came through the curtain. The fans gave some mild cheers as he walked down the aisle. He slid under the bottom rope and walked over to a turnbuckle. He jumped up on it and to the sparkle across the dark landscape he smiled a little smile.

Thunderstruck by AC/DC interrupted his entrance as all eyes went to the ramp as the Masked Marvel himself strutted on the ramp to a small ovation of his own. These two relatives rookies in ACW had the chance to amaze the sold out crowd, and kick of Revival like it should be.

Bantam Diablo reached the ring and before the bell had rung, he and Alex Draper were already exchanging words in the center of the ring. Knowing that both competitors wouldn’t wait, the referee signaled for the bell the ring. Alex Draper went to punch BD put he ducked and pulled on Draper’s hair from behind, slamming him on his back against the match. Bantam Diablo delivered a leg drop and followed it up with a head scissors choke hold.

Draper strained to reach the ropes, but both competitors were still center of the ring. Luckily, the referee broke the choke hold and Draper rolled over on his stomach. He could see the back of BD as he ran towards the rope and deliver a moonsault. Draper arched his back in pain but soon he was hearing the count of the referee as BD went for the pin.

1…

2…

3!

Got ya! Draper kicked out, obviously not to be outdone by a more flashy move rather than physically daunting. BD picked up Draper and Irish whipped him into the ropes. As Draper came back he ducked the clothesline and immediately turned around followed a kick to the stomach with a double-arm DDT. Keeping his wits, he then turned that into a chickenwing crossface submission hold.

BD could barely scream through his mask as Draper really wrenched on his neck. He also was screaming, moreso to get BD to tap out. It was really too early in the match to ask for that. Either way, the referee did check on BD but BD kept shaking his head. This match was long from over.

Draper released the hold and BD curled up, trying to get his back in alignment. Draper towered over BD’s body and knelt down. He balanced on his hands as he used his elevation to drive his knees into BD’s back. Bandia screamed every time Draper did this before he finally decided to pick BD up.

Draper tossed BD into the turnbuckle and began to stomp on him until the was a puddle sitting on the mat. Draper then ran to the opposite turnbuckle and barreled at BD using his knee to drive the masked head of BD against the turnbuckle.

Or so he thought.

At the last second, BD slumped down and rolled out of the ring as Draper’s knee crushed against the turnbuckle. Draper was on the mat clutching his knee as BD was slowly crawling on the outside, trying to push himself up with the help of the ring apron. Draper began to limp as he finally was able to stand up.

He reached over the ropes and tried to pull BD up by his head, but BD had a little life still left in him and he punched the sore knee of Draper, causing him to buckle over in pain. BD grabbed his ankles causing him to trip and fall to the mat. BD then jumped up the ring apron. He winced in pain yet as he rubbed his sore back, still feeling the effects of Draper’s knees. With his bottled energy, BD flipped over the top rope and delivered a picture book swan dive, planting his shoulder into the midsection of Draper.

He was unable to make the cover as his back delivered an unsatisfying *popping* noise. BD rolled around the ring with pain in his eyes. It was evident that he messed up his back using that move. He should have known better. On the other hand, Draper was also clutching his stomach. The referee delivered the standing 10 count but it wasn’t needed. Draper was up in plenty of time, BD on the other hand was still far off from being able to shake off his injury.

Draper picked up BD and delivered a shoulder into his back before again sending him into the turnbuckle. Draper walked over to BD and picked him up and set him on the top turnbuckle. He gave BD a Superplex and he couldn’t figure out which was louder, the impact or the scream BD gave after he hit. Draper hooked BD’s leg as the referee slid into position.

1…

2…

3..KICKOUT! BD wasn’t done! He kicked out at the last second. Draper left him where he laid and went to the top turnbuckle. Back before his injuries, the move he was going to do was so natural to him…it was second nature. After this injury, it was a different case. Doubt had settled in his mind, and he never knew if he could get his old tendencies back. Look’s like ACW Revival was the place where he was going to find out.

As he stood on top of the turnbuckle, the realization of the crowd and the cheers finally set in. He had them in the palm of his hand and tonight he was going to give it his all.

Give it to them.

Draper closed his eyes and did a silent prayer that only he would know about. He leapt into the air and he could feel the motion as he twisted in the air. He possibly performed the greatest shooting star press in his life…but BD moved.

Now how anti-climatic was that?

Draper bounced off the mat and gasped as the air in his lungs left him. He could feel BD slowly walk over to him and apply the guillotine chokehold. Without air in his lungs for reserve, it wasn’t long before Draper tapped out.

He took a risk and he lost. He handed the win to BD on a silver platter. It wasn’t a case of ring rust, or botched moves…it was a case of ring smarts and Alex Draper lost. 

WINNER : Bantam Diablo

CAGE MATCH
Volker Baldwin Vs. ????

What goes around…

Comes around.

And it’s about to come around full swing.

“The following contest is a Cage Match set for pinfall and submission only. Escaping the cage will not be a victory.”

The lights of the arena dimmed in that old fashion method of lowering the structure that has broken a lot of bones, given a lot of bruises and sure as hell drawn a lot of blood in its time. Lasers of fresh, foggy light slapped the cage as it lowered down to the ring. The fans were in a low rumble, until…

“Deutschland Uber Alles”

The boos were thunderous, as the German walked out onto the stage, scars from the car accident scabbing on his face. His eyes were as cold as ever, but he didn’t take the time to stare out over the crowd he hated. His hatred was intended for someone else.

“Introducing first, weighing in at…”

“... the fuck out of here.”

Volker Baldwin, one of the most hated men in ACW, took the mic.

Asshole!!! Get the fuck out here and let’s finish this right here and right…”

The lights went down for the third time. Small drifts of fog rose from the stage, sliding along the ramp. Red lights began to shine.

Massive Attack’s “Angel” began with the soft beginning.

And then a figure, standing tall with neon sunglasses staring out over the crowd, appeared through the mist on the stage.

The fans exploded, since there were no surprises here. Didn’t take much imagination to know who had been the mysterious antagonist. Everyone saw it coming.

I mean, you’d have to be…

“BLIND!”
“BLIND!”
“BLIND!”
“BLIND!”

Was it any surprise?

Through the darkness around the ring, Volker Baldwin rolled out of the ring and ran up the ramp.

And through the mist, blind, the man who hadn’t been seen on television since the demise of thReat, stared down callously through his unseen eyes.

Volker went to swing, but blind ducked under and slammed a fist into his face as hard as possible. Baldwin’s back slammed against the ramp just as the lights returned and Massive Attack died down.

The fans cheered, as the cage lowered the rest of the way and came to a stop in the ring. blind bent down and wrapped his hand around Volker’s neck. He picked him up and sent another fist into his face, not knocking down Volker but sending him tripping down the ramp towards the ring.

blind began to walk down the ramp, tossing his trench coat off and sunglasses down as he went. He reached Volker, grabbed him in position for a whip, and aimed for the cage. Volker reversed and with his force slammed blind’s face into the side of the cage.

On one knee, Volker recovered and then got to his feet, as blind rolled over and prepared to get to his. Volker kicked blind in the side, sprawling blind across the mat. He then kicked him again and again in the back as hard as he could.

He bent down and picked blind up, setting him up for a whip into the steel steps. Screaming, Volker tossed him into the steps, shoulder first.

The fans booed as Volker looked down, his blood shot eyes burning on his face. blind used the barricade to get to his feet, a little out of breath and trying to recover. Volker ran at him with a clothesline, but blind hoisted him up in the air and slammed his face down against the barricade.

A few fans cheered right in front of them, as blind locked up his fist and slammed a few home as Volker lay across the barricade. The ref tried to get blind in the ring. He grabbed hold of Volker’s neck, and slammed him face first into the cage just as Volker had done.

He picked him up off the mat and rolled him into the cage.

The ref got in the ring, as another ref closed the door and locked it shut.

The bell rang.

And blind started ‘stomping a mud hole’ in Volker as he lay against the turnbuckle. A good fifteen or so kicks into it, blind choked Volker with the heel of his boot. The ref pulled him off before he could do much damage.

blind picked up Volker and sent him into the ropes. He bounced back to meet a sharp clothesline that slammed his head hard on the mat. blind ran into the ropes himself and leapt off with an elbow drop in mind.

He connected across Volker’s throat, and then covered.

1…

2…

Kick out by Volker.

blind got to his feet, with the fans cheering him on, as Volker rolled to the ropes. He reached his feet, and blind sent a knee into his abdomen before whipping him once again. blind bent over for the back body drop, only to be kicked by Volker against the chest. blind stumbled backwards, and Volker took advantage with a few shots to the face.

With blind up against the ropes, Volker grabbed a handful of his forehead and slammed the back of his head against the steel of the cage. blind grimaced hard, but sent a few fists into Volker’s side.

Volker let go and stepped back, as blind leaned forward and earned a headlock. He pulled with all his strength, but nothing could stop Volker as he lifted blind up and slammed him down with suplex on his back.

Volker hooked the leg.

1…

2…

Kick out by blind.

Volker got to one knee and sent fist after fist into blind’s forehead. He lifted blind up to his feet, put his head under his chin, and dropped down with a jawbreaker. blind grabbed his chin in pain as Volker got to his feet again.

“ASS-HOLE!”
“ASS-HOLE!”
“ASS-HOLE!”
“ASS-HOLE!”

Volker picked blind up by his hair and tossed his left arm over his shoulder. He hoisted him up into the vertical suplex position, made a 180 degree angle, and slammed blind down on his head with a Brainbuster DDT.

He covered.

1…

2…

Kick out

Volker got to his feet, pissed off as ever, and walked towards the door. He attempted to push it open, but hadn’t counted on the lock being there. He kicked it hard, but the ref just told him to get back to the match. After almost slapping the referee, he turned back to finish his dirty work.

And that’s when he felt the upper arm muscles of blind slam against his neck with one hell of a clothesline.

blind leaned up against the turnbuckle for a moment to gain some strength back as Volker held his head in pain. blind sprinted off the buckle and kicked Volker hard in the gut. He picked him up, sending some forearms into his face before he whipped him off the rope.

blind waited for him to return, bent over for the back body drop, and this time nailed it, sending Volker flying upside down into the cage and landing behind the ropes. blind ran into the ropes and the dropped down with a baseball slide, sending his boot into the face of Volker Baldwin.

As Volker final got his whole body horizontal again and rolled under the ropes, blind kicked him in the gut once again. Getting the Nazi to his feet, he hoisted over his head and onto his back.

Crucifix Powerbowb

blind hooked the leg.

1…

2…

Shoulder up

The fans booed as Volker got out of the pinfall. blind got up to his feet, kicked Volker again, and picked him up only to toss him violently into the turnbuckle.

He slapped him with a loud forearm, with a ‘WHOOO” echoing from the crowd, before he took Volker off the ropes and hoisted him onto his shoulder. He turned around to face the open ring, and then sprinted towards the other side.

The fans exploded as blind Gutwrench Powerbombed Volker Baldwin straight into the caging.

“BLIND!”
“BLIND!”
“BLIND!”
“BLIND!”
“BLIND!”

Volker lay twisted on the outside of the ropes, the cage bent a little outwards on the spot of the impact.

blind grabbed one foot, pulled the limp Volker back into the ring, and covered.

1…

2…

3…

Shoulder up

blind, a little shocked, made his way over to the corner in preparation. Volker, completely out of it, slowly made his way to his feet. As he turned around, blind ran full speed with a spear in mind, but Volker thought fast and slammed blind down with a DDT.

Despite the viciousness of the move, blind was still the first to get up seconds later with the approval of the crowd. He shook it off as Volker got to his feet.

blind kicked Volker in the gut and then hoisted him up for another Gutwrench Powerbomb. He ran towards the caging again, but Volker slipped out and landed on his feet. He turned to catch blind bouncing off the ropes, shoved his head under his armpit, and used all his strength to hoist him into a Reverse Suplex.

This time they were both down and neither was getting up anytime soon.

The fans cheered on, with a small ‘BLIND!’ chant starting but never really getting off the ground. About a minute later, they both started to come to as they each made their way to their respective corners.

Volker and blind got to their feet at the same time.

And they turned to see each other standing.

They stepped towards one another, but Volker was the first to strike with a fist.

blind hit him back.

The fists flew, but it was Volker who took the advantage. He slapped blind over to the ropes, where he pushed him up and bounced him to the other side. Volker ran at blind full speed, only to meet a clothesline that brought him down to the mat.

With a cheering crowd behind him, blind picked Volker Baldwin up and locked him up from behind. He attempted to hoist him into the air, but Volker fought out of it. He attempted again, but Volker blocked it again. Again, he attempted, but the third time is the charm

Volker went flying over blind’s head, landing on his… feet with an amazing flip. He locked blind up and hoisted him into the air.

German Suplex.

Still locked on, he rolled over Benoit style, got to his feet, and…

German Suplex.

Rolled to his feet again. Hoisted again. And…

Well, of course.

German Suplex.

This time he kept the bridge intact with a pinfall attempt.

1…

2…

3…

Kick out

Volker rolled to his feet, his energy seeming to have returned. He looked down at blind, and then looked down at the apron. He had something in mind.

With blind beginning to stir, Volker walked over to the cage and began to climb up the caging. The ref looked on as he wondered what he had in mind, as blind got to his feet. Volker reached over the top as blind saw what he was doing. He turned and followed Volker up.

Volker took his corner as blind reached the top himself. He carefully walked over, where the two met in the center, and sent a fist into blind’s face. He fell to one knee but luckily kept his balance on the cage. Volker sent another fist into his enemy’s face, but blind still stayed on. Fed up with the fists, he shot out a kick to finish off blind, but blind caught the foot and used his strength to catch it.

The catch caused both of them to lose their balance and set each over on opposite ends.

Just in time, both grabbed the caging before they fell. Each of them lifted up, but blind hit Volker. Volker held on. blind slapped him again, but still Volker held on. Fed up with his fists too, he decided on something else. But it sure as hell wasn’t a kick.

He locked up Volker’s arm, lifted his legs to place his feet flat on the caging and kicked off.

The fans watched as both men fell twenty feet down to the floor with a Superplex off the cage.

“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”

blind lay motionless on the mat, as Volker Baldwin lay motionless on the steel of the ramp. Both men lay there, the referees looking on in shock, as the fans cheered the two on.

blind was the first to move. He got to his feet with the help of the cage, and looked over at Volker who was just now beginning to stir. He walked over as Volker got to his feet, and locked him up from behind.

“Son of a bitch!”

He hoisted him into the air.

Full Release German Suplex, straight into the steel.

Volker was out cold. As cold as his bloodless heart.

The fans cheered as blind walked towards the other side of the ring. He tossed some nameless bastard aside and closed up the steel chair he had taken.

Volker was up to his feet, making a vain attempt to climb up the cage despite the fact that he barely had the strength to stand. blind walked over to him and prepared to slam the steel chair home.

*SMACK*

The chair slammed against the steel, as Volker just ducked under.

And kicked blind right in his manhood.

blind fell to his knees, as the crowd made their feelings known clearly.

“ASS-HOLE!”
“ASS-HOLE!”
“ASS-HOLE!”
“ASS-HOLE!”

Volker picked up the chair, and looked down at the kneeling blind, imagining him begging for his life. He lifted the chair above his head, and slammed it down against blind’s head with a sickening crunch.

He tossed the chair down to the mat and picked blind up. He then proceeded to slam blind’s head into the steel pole standing in the corner of the cage. The ref unlocked the cage door to let them back into the cage. Volker rolled blind in with the steel chair, but didn’t go in himself just yet. He walked over to the corner and lifted the apron up.

He pulled out a sledgehammer, silver and as new looking as ever.

“What goes around comes around, asshole.” he whispered to himself just before he rolled back into the ring with his weapon of choice.

blind was already to his feet as Volker gave his sinister smile and lifted the sledgehammer into the air. blind appeared to be out of it, but then he shot up and slammed his foot home in Volker’s face.

The hammer fell to the ground as blind kicked Volker in the side to good measure. He picked him up and locked him in, hoisted him onto his shoulders. His hands ready, he pushed off and slammed Volker’s face straight into the mat.

Sightless

The fans cheered as he hooked the leg.

1…

2…

3!

NO!

Volker just got his shoulder up before the three count.

blind, tired but not out, got to his feet one leg at a time and grabbed Volker by the neck. He shoved his head between his legs, and signaled to the crowd that it was time. The fans rose to their feet as Volker was lifted into the air.

He pushed off blind’s chest, landed on his feet, kicked him in the gut, and then dropped him down with a DDT.

But then…

Tod – bluntly put, the German word for ‘Death’.

blind wrenched in pain as Volker Baldwin locked on his signature move as tight as he could. The fans booed harshly as Volker reached back and pulled on blind’s neck with all his might. blind fought it all, reaching down for any strength he could find.

The German Dream pulled back and screamed in unison with blind, one for force and the other for pain. blind’s right hand suddenly shot out, reaching for the ropes that were just out of reach. Volker saw this and pulled harder.

blind’s hand pulled back to fight against the pain again before blind realized that this method was useless. He reached out again, but was still not close enough. He left hand dropped down to the mat and slowly strain under his weight.

With the one handed push up in action, Volker reached back with all his strength, but by the it was too late.

blind’s left hand pushed off, his right hand was in range, and he grabbed hold of the bottom rope.

The fans exploded as the ref pulled Volker off of blind. Volker punched the mat before he quickly got to his feet and grabbed the steel chair. He waited for blind to reach his feet, slamming the chair against the mat in preparation.

blind turned around, and Volker swung.

Duck. Recover. And…

*CRUCH*

blind’s fist slammed against the steel chair, which sent Volker down to the mat.

With the chair landing across his face, blind saw his chance. He turned towards the caging and started to climb up to the top. The fans rose to their feet as blind reached the top, but began to boo as the saw Volker stir up and remove the chair.

blind turned around in preparation, but Volker was already to his feet by then. As blind looked down, Volker picked up the chair and tossed it quickly up towards blind. The chair slapped his arm before falling to the outside of the cage, but it was enough to cause blind to lose his balance.

He fell forward, head first into the cage but…

The fans booed insanely loud as they and blind himself realized that blind’s foot was caught between the metal structure on the top edge of the cage. Volker smiled as blind struggled, hanging upside down against the caging, trying to get his foot out.

Volker looked down and quickly snatched up the sledgehammer. He laughed, screaming some threat to blind as he reached up and tried to get his foot out. He stood next to blind’s head, pulled the sledgehammer all the way back, and swung quickly.

*SMACK*

blind moved his head out of the way and grabbed hold of Volker’s instead. He slipped his foot through, flipped over forward, landed ass-first on the ropes, twisted Volker’s under his arm, and landed back first on the mat with Volker’s head.

In other words…

One hell of a DDT.

“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”

blind, also hurt from the fall, rolled over and covered.

1…

2…

3!

NOT YET!

Kick out by Volker.

blind, agitated at this point, picked Volker up to his feet quickly. He shoved him down between his legs again, and signaled it was time once again.

blind hoisted him up onto his shoulder, and BAM!

… And Now You Can See

He covered.

1…

2…

3!

It was over. The Nazi had lost the match.

And blind had…

“Bullshit!”

The ref yelled no pinfall, as the camera zoomed in on Volker’s foot on the bottom rope. blind looked down in disbelief as he got to his feet. He stayed on his knees for a second, leaving Volker in the center of the ring alone, before he finally made a decision.

blind walked over the cage again, because this time he was going to end this match once and for all. But, little did he know, Volker had gotten to his feet, walk over to the turnbuckle and was following in tow.

As blind reached the top, he saw Volker on the other side of his edge, climbing onto the corner. The last time they were up there, they had both fallen down the outside. blind wasn’t going to let that shit happen the same way.

He walked over, and hit Volker, who had to use the rope on the corner of the cage to keep his balance. blind then kicked him in the gut.

blind tossed Volker over his shoulder as if preparing for the Death Valley Driver, and slowly walked towards the center of the side of the caging. The fans were at their feet again, light bulbs flashing behind blind as he measured up the ring.

The camera zoomed in on his face, with Volker Baldwin over his shoulder, realizing what was about to occur.

Then blind leapt.

Ace Crusher off the cage

“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOLY SHIT!”

Both men were dead. Neither of them moved until blind, with what little he had left, rolled over and dropped an arm across Volker’s chest.

1…

2…

3!

The fans cheered as the ref rang the bell, and “Angel” resurfaced through out the arena.

Seconds passed before either of them could move again, but blind was first to get to his feet when it was all said and done. He walked over to the cage door, already open and waiting for the victor of the match to leave.

He then stepped over and grabbed his jacket, his sunglasses, and a microphone.

blind slipped on the glasses, and then lifted the microphone up.

“… And now you can see.”

The fans exploded.

blind was back, and all sinners - prepare for what you have coming to you.

He slipped the jacket on, and walked up by the cage, appearing as if nothing had happened. The motionless body of Volker Baldwin lay in the ring, the referee checking on him.

Just another victim, and just another match.

What goes around…

Comes around.

And, for Volker Baldwin, what came around was nothing short of justice.

And never forget.

Justice…

… is…

… blind.

WINNER : blind

Linda?

"I'm good, thanks for asking."

Quinton May folded his arms as he leaned his body against a wall and watched as the backstage official who'd asked if the Canadian Gladiator needed anything scampered off, having received a less-than-pleasant answer from Quincy. It was all in the tone, and May himself appeared to be majorly conflicted with himself. Almost as if he was admonishing himself for being so harsh and cold towards the official.

His narrowed eyes and well-defined sneer while staring out into nothingness achieved that effect.

Sighing, May peeled his body off the wall and began to trod down the hallway. For the better part of an hour, he'd been roaming around the arena, preparing himself mentally for the latest challenge in his professional career. One he knew little about 17 months ago, when he embarked on this new journey.

A journey to find the answers he so desperately wanted to know.

Rubbing his forehead, Quinton's blank eyes continued to dart around the backstage area, his body (encased in a black sleeveless tanktop and dark blue tights with black boots) trembling for some unknown reason. May didn't look comfortable at all, until he looked up and froze in his tracks.

There was someone in his path.

A rather young and attractive-looking lady, to be more precise. So attractive, that Quinton's mouth was gaping.

"Hello, Quinton." she announced with a half-smile.

The man often referred to as the Canadian Gladiator shook his head disbelievingly. "L-Linda? Is that really you?"

Now, for those of you who are uninformed, let's take a little history lesson. Linda is Linda Connolly, Quinton May's crush in college. They eventually did become lovers, and Quinton even did propose marriage to Linda, who accepted. Shortly after, Quincy disappeared and his whirlwind of mystery began. It wasn't until last year that May -- having survived through the most difficult period of his life -- managed to track Linda down.

And found out that Linda was actually a mother. Of his child. Named Dylan.

And just as it seemed that there would be a happily-ever-after between Linda & Quinton, something happened. That something was Vincent Pembridge's and Keegan's nefarious plan to rob Quincy of his son, Dylan, late last year. It did work to an extent, and as such, the relationship between Quinton and Linda has been estranged ever since. Quite heart wrenching, eh?

"In living colour, Quincy."

Back to real-time now. Linda and Quinton approached each other, albeit tentatively, and stopped about a couple of inches from one another. Quinton was relatively delighted to see Linda after months, documented by a wide grin on his face, but Linda herself seemed to be keeping her distance from the man she was supposed to be married to. Twice.

Makes for a great soap opera, innit?

"So, what are you doing here? You do realise that this place hasn't changed since the time when... well, Keegan and his mate, the sodding cunt, were wrecking havoc, right?" Quinton suddenly asked to break the awkward silence, causing Linda's eyes to widen slightly.

Obviously not expecting such straightforwardness from Quinton.

"Well, my friend Adrienne came here to visit her parents, so she invited us, and we thought we'd catch the show. Dylan's doing a good job promoting you at home, but he's actually got a soft spot for the Atken chap." Linda started, folding her arms and looking directly into Quincy's eyes. "We've actually managed to score front row seats, which obviously irks me considering what might happen during your match, but it's alright, I guess."

May forced a half-hearted nod, placing his clenched fists behind his back, out of sight.

"So, hey, I just wanted to wish you good luck, as did Dylan." Linda continued, looking to turn to walk away.

Quinton, however, wasn't quite done with the catching up and such. "That's great, thanks. I hope I'll be able to control what happens out there tonight. But, I've got one tiny request from you, now that you're here and all; could I possibly talk to Dylan, one on one? Just for a couple of minutes?"

Ooooh, touchy territory. See that scowl on Linda's face?

You can already guess what her answer is. But, surprisingly, a smile replaced the scowl, as she tapped her former sweetheart and the father of her child on his shoulder.

"Perhaps after the match, eh?"

And without saying another word, Linda stalked off to return to her friend and her son, while Quinton remained rooted to the spot. Despondent and a tad bit confused. Well, he looked more constipated than anything, but, you know. Rubbing the back of his neck, the Canadian Gladiator turned around and began trekking back to his locker room, his fists still clenched.

Not purely out of anger, however.

The tear streaming down his left cheek was a testament to that. 

Lancett vs. Jesse Ramey

Right on cue for the next match up to start the lights dim. On the titan-tron:

Lancett
The Megastar

Through all the boos unfamiliar music engulfed the arena and the fans just overcame the music with their opposing side.

Caught out alone, and I'm tryin to be free.
Caught up in things that are inside of me.
Lookin for something that I cannot see.
Losing my faith but I'm tryin to believe.
Losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my faith.

Tryin to be free.
Losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my

The world is after me.
The world is after me.
There feeding their jones, I'm reluctant to fight.
Caught out alone at the end of the night.
They're lookin for victims and lookin for me.
I'm blind in my eyes but I'm tryin to see.
Losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my faith.
Tryin to see.
Losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my


Lancett appeared from the backstage with that same cocky smile and cocky attitude. He was more serious tonight though; he was going to show a Mr. Attitude his props in the squared circle, or at least try to. Lancett was focused and he has never looked this grand. He got halfway down the arena and looked over to the left to a kid holding a Ramey sign. He took it and pulled a permanent marker from his tights. With the marker he signed “Randy Lancett” over the face of Jesse Ramey. Lancett handed it back to the kid and the kid smiled. Lancett tossed the marker into the fans as they moshed for it.

The world is after me.
The whole world is after me.
Feel like I'm caught in the ocean, there's always someone to help
me down.
The twisted tangled emotions, there's always someone to help
me drown.
Tryin to believe.
Losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my faith.

Tryin to be free.
Losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my faith, losing my faith.


Lancett reached the ring and climbed those steel stairs that lead to the ring. Of course The Rook had to show off this was a pay-per-view, people! As he scrolled the apron he looked at the fans smiling then reached a turnbuckle. He put one foot on the turnbuckle and then the other on the rope beside it. He pulled himself up and just looked at them, the fans. As he was interrupted…

Don't tell me what to think
Cause I don't care this time
Don't tell me what you believe
Cause you won't be there
To catch me when I fall
But you'll need me when I'm not here at all
Miss me when I'm gone again, yeah

I'm going down in flames
I'm falling into this again, yeah
I'm going down in flames
I'm falling into this again

Don't tell me how life is
Cause I don't really don't want to know
Don't tell me how this game ends
Cause we'll just see how it goes
Catch me when I fall
Or you'll need me when I'm not here at all
Miss me when I'm gone again, yeah


Jesse finally showed himself and he looked like any other grudge match. He was ready, he was prepared, and he was hyped. Mr. Action! himself was ready for action. He wasn’t wasting any time. He jolted towards the ring.

I'm going down in flames
I'm falling into this again, yeah
I'm going down in flames
I'm falling into this again, yeah

He went to go slide under the bottom ropes but Lancett stood on the other side. Looking down to him, “Come on in.” Lancett dared Bad Attitude. They looked at each other for a while as the music started to fade into tranquility.

Now, I'm all the way down here
I'm falling
I'm all the way down here
I'm falling down again
I'm falling down
I'm falling down
I'm falling down

The fans took their seats preparing for this battle. The referee got in the face of the Peoria Pirate to let Jesse into the ring. Ramey jumped to the apron and got into the ring slowly as Lancett was pushed to back off. The bell rang:

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Here it was: Jesse, respect, in one corner and Lancett, disrespect, in the other. They had all eyes on them as they loosened up. Jesse took first moved and walked to the middle of the ring, but Lancett didn’t budge. Lancett looked at him as he leaned into the turnbuckle.

“Lets do this, Lancett.” Ramey demanded.

Lancett smirked. Then looked to the audience, but he was greeted by one finger salutes. Lancett shook his head in disbelief. He looked back to Ramey, but stood there for a minute or two thinking about it; finally he decided and confronted him in the hub.

The two got face to face and a seldom chant started to brew.

RAM-EY!!
RAM-EY!!
RAM-EY!!

Lancett couldn’t stand the attention being taken from him so he swung first. Bad Attitude blocked and threw one of his own. Lancett did the same by block n’ swing. Ramey changed it up a bit and block n’ kick. Lancett bent over from the kick and was taken down with a snap suplex.

Mr. Action jumped to his feet after the move and sent three swift stomps to the shoulder of Lancett. Then Lancett pushed Ramey away and, almost hitting the referee, he stumbled back. Lancett got to his feet slowly noticing Ramey wants a fast paced match. The chants where fading but due to latest move they where resurrected.

Lancett asked for a test of strength from Ramey. Ramey looked to the fans and then lifted his hand to take it.

Lancett was a cheater, he was a brawler, and he took his chances, but who didn’t know this… Ramey knew!

Lancett went to kick Ramey, but Ramey took his free hand and caught his foot and pulled Lancett close. Lancett was pulled towards Ramey while he was off balanced and was laid out with a clothesline. Out of rage the, self-proclaimed, Megastar got to his feet and decked Jesse in the face. Ramey didn’t expect such a fast punch to the melon.

The seldom-dazed Ramey stumbled in place and Lancett took him for a ride to the air and back down with an inverted atomic drop. Lancett changed his arms to hook Ramey’s body and gave him a swift whip over his head with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Bad Attitude went for a hard ride, again… but Lancett wasn’t there to stop him. The sound of muscle hitting a flat surface echoed. The fans reacted with a louder: Owwwww!

Lancett stood up and popped his right hand’s knuckles as Jesse started to get up. Lancett walked over to him and grabbed him by his hair. Ramey resisted and nailed Lancett into the gut a couple times. Lancett went to his roots, boxing. Lancett pulled Ramey to his a vertical base, you could almost hear “Eye of a Tiger” playing in the background as he did this, and sent three jabs to the face of Mr. Action and pumped Ramey with uppercuts to the gut all the way to the turnbuckle.

The referee got into the way of Lancett and Lancett stood up fully and backed up just smiling, that cheating bastard.

The referee checked on the now bleeding Ramey. Lancett seemed proud of himself using his deadly closed fists. The Young Lion walked over to the referee and Ramey. Pulling the referee Lancett got tackled with a double leg takedown from Mr. Action! - which got a nice pop from the fans. Ramey quickly shifted his weight and got Lancett in an arm bar.

Lancett reached over for the ropes but he was placed just far enough from the ropes. Ramey rolled to his shoulders to push him away from the ropes.


1…
2…

Ramey realized that he was on his shoulder and lifted one.

Ramey then pushed down on the shoulder on Lancett making him to loss his focus to push towards the ropes and caved in sliding far from the ropes. “Son-of-a-bitch.” Lancett cried.

Lancett took a big breath and whipped his feet in a circle motion to get to his knees. He tried to pull his arm out of Ramey’s grasp and all the muscles and veins in his arm was busting with vigor.

In result Lancett lifted Jesse off the ground. Lancett screamed in pain as he looked around and continued to lift Mr. Action! into the air. Lancett charged the turnbuckle folding Ramey between the top and middle turnbuckle and he popped through the ropes/turnbuckles and bounced off the apron to the ground.

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

The fans cheered. Lancett leaned against the near ropes and held his shoulder as his eyes watered. Ramey lay motionless outside. The Megastar looks to the outside and looked at the turnbuckle and climbed it, but what was weird is that he turned around when he reached the top.

MOONSAULT~!

The fans said it perfectly:

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

Lancett hit the moonsault but he hit the outside mats rather than Ramey who rolled under the ring.

Ramey rolled back from under the ring and sat up. He was panting, who wouldn’t be? He stood up with help from the apron. As he rolled his half dead body into the ring and broke the count, which was at three.

Bad Attitude rolled back out and pulled up Lancett and tossed him into the ring. Mr. Action looked to the roof leaning against the ropes and then he bounced back at Lancett and went down with a textbook elbow drop over the jaw of the Peoria Pirate.

Jesse sat up and dragged himself over to the legs of Lancett and stood up. He looked at the legs of “Better Than You.”

Everyone could feel a The Attitude Adjustment coming up and the fans cheered as he threw his legs down and pulled the Rook up by his hair.

HANGTIME!!

A tornado DDT out of nowhere, Jesse didn’t want to take any chances. Here it was Lancett was out and Bad Attitude was going to make an attitude adjustment!

Jesse picked up his legs and then hooked them and turned him over and snapped it in. Lancett bridged off his forearms and reached for the bottom rope and got fingertips. Ramey pushed Lancett from the ropes and knuckled down on him pinning him to the ground.

“NO!!!!” Lancett yelled in reply to the referee. Lancett turned quickly and twisted out of the hold but just got on his back Ramey was trying to get Rook to turn over so he could lock it in.

Lancett bent up to Jesse and small packaged him up into a pin, but it looked as if Lancett rolled through it with Ramey. Lancett and Jesse sprung to their feet.

LEGACY ENDER DDT!

Holy k-rap that came out of nowhere! Lancett placed one arm on Jesse.

1…

2…

3…

Sorry but Ramey kicked out of the Ender!

Lancett got to his knees and looked down to Ramey. Lancett wondered what the hell to do now, if that didn’t work then what? Lancett reached his feet and picked up Mr. Action! with him.


Lancett put Ramey’s head between his legs and hooked his arms and lifted him into the air and went down with a face buster. Double Arm Face Buster, his new finisher: Six Star Struck (AKA: S3).

Lancett turned him over and fell on him.

1…

2…

3…

“After Me” by Silva blared again over the stereo systems and the fans where a mix reaction from the great match-up. Lancett got to his knees and looked at the fans recognize him for his victory. His hand was raised and for once all eyes were on him, he loved it showing it though that huge smile he wore.

He stood up and walked over to the ropes. Jesse was beginning to raise as Lancett looked over his shoulder to see his fallen victim.

This is the time when you expect Lancett to help up Jesse and become a good guy, but if Lancett heard you say that he’d flick you off and tell you to go fuck yourself. Mostly what he did.

“I told you Ramey, ‘You ain’t nuttin!” Lancett said as he climbed out of the ring.

WINNER : Lancett

There he sat backstage. Moments before the biggest match of his ACW career thus far. In a matter of minutes, Chris Messiah would be embarking on an ultimate submissions match. Thirty minutes of sheer hell. Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for Quinton May and Phil Atken, he had the Reality Check.

So what was he doing sitting backstage? It seemed as if he was gazing longingly into the mirror in his locker-room. No, more than gazing; he was looking straight into his emerald eyes with an intensity not seen since August 2003.

Over a minute passed of just Chris sitting staring. Then, his eyes began to water a little. His expression changed to one of struggle. Then, finally, after four minutes and thirty two seconds, he blinked.

“A new personal best!”

Turns out he was having a staring competition with himself. 

Weirdo.

Action! Match
Geo Vacton Vs. The Mammoth
Author - George
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  

The bigSCREEN lit up and filled with an image of Marshall and the Mammoth in the ring during their very first promo in the new ACW. It featured the two walking back up the ramp, filled with smiles… until the crowd started to chant that bone tingling chant. “Action! League!! Action! League!!”

Another clip ran; this one featuring the Mammoth in a match in which that crowd also began to let loose that chant.

A third clip flashed onto the screen; this one showed the Mammoth backstage destroying everything in his path. It featured Marshall trying to calm him down… And then it showed Geo Vacton coming out of his locker room, and being assaulted.

The Mammoth VS Jesse Ramey match flared onto the screen featuring Geo coming in to try save Ramey from their wrath. And then it showed Marshall and the Mammoth backstage, now vowing to destroy Geo by any means necessary. Saying, “if the crowd wants to cheer for Geo, then they can watch him die.”

It was obvious. Marshall and the Mammoth wanted to destroy their old gimmick… They despised being cheered for being silly. They wanted to stop the laughter. They didn’t want to be icons anymore… They wanted to destroy their old selves, and now destroy anything else that was an icon. And in a clip shown from Courage two weeks ago, they proved that they would be capable of doing this.

Geo Vacton, Phoenix Rose, and Magick Man were all shown being beat down by Marshall and the Mammoth. And then other attacks were shown, and then a clip from the match at the last Courage which featured Geo Vacton and Alias VS The Mammoth SilverHAWK in a tag match.

Big white letters with a black outline sprang up onto the screen. “It all comes down to this…”

Magick Man explaining the match to Geo came up onto the screen, and the rules of the match began to slide across the screen from top to bottom until finally resting in middle of it.

“Action! Match Rules

- Two Referees.

- Five Second Pinfalls.

- Referee A can only make pinfall for Wrestler A, and vice versa.

- There can be no interference between referees involving pinfalls.

- The match can be won by pinfall, submission or TKO,

- Falls will count anywhere, there will be no disqualification (hardcore rules)”

The rules stayed on the screen for a moment so that there wouldn’t be any confusion concerning what was happening at different times in the match. Once the rules had been flushed…

“A Violent Reaction” by American Head Charge filled up the arena, and so did the boos. Marshall and the Mammoth appeared at the top of the ramp way. The Mammoth sported a new shirt that read plainly, “Icon Killer.” Marshall wore a black and white striped referee shirt. The two paced back and forth at the top of the ramp way, eyeing the fans that they despised down. They made their way down to the ring. The Mammoth stepped over the top rope, and Marshall slid in under the bottom one… is that not awesome? The two stomped around the ring, looking over the crowd. The Mammoth leaned against the ropes on the side of the ring opposite the ramp way, and he waited for his opponent.

He didn’t have to wait long.

“’COS I’M T-N-T!!! I’M DY-NO-MITE!!!!”

The lyrics were screamed through the speaker system, and they were all screamed by the fans in attendance. The entrance ramp came alive with pyro and flashing lights as Geo Vacton and Phoenix Rose stepped out into the arena.

“GRRRAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The crowd exploded for the two as they ran back and forth at the top of the entrance ramp. Geo worked the left side, Rose worked the right, and then the two switched. Then they made their way down to the ring, hitting the hands of as many fans as they possibly could. They entered the ring, and pretty much completely ignored Marshall and the Mammoth. Geo climbed up to the second turnbuckle, held his arms out to the crowd, and then leapt off to make his way to the other three. The Mammoth never stopped looking at Geo, although Geo never even looked in his direction.

Geo and Rose stopped in the middle of the ring where Rose whispered a few words into Geo’s ears. The two laughed, and then it was game time. Geo locked eyes with the Mammoth. Here it was. Geo Vacton VS the Mammoth in an Action! Match.

Rose and Marshall both moved to the corners of the ring, and waited for the match to begin. Geo’s music died off, and the Mammoth fired the first shot by grabbing Geo by his shirt and slamming him down to the mat with a sidewalk slam.

A little bit of confusion went through the arena… You see, the bell never sounded. But hey, this was an Action! Match and maybe you didn’t need bells to be rung to start them.

Geo shot back up and hit the ropes. On the return he flew forward with a press slam. He went to hook the Mammoth’s leg, and Rose went to make a count but the Mammoth quickly and easily kicked out.

As the two men got up, the Mammoth used his awesome and incredible strength to lift Geo up into the air by the neck and slam him back down with a choke slam. Geo’s body hit the mat hard, hard enough to make the entire ring shake. The Mammoth began to laugh. He gave Marshall orders. “Go get me a table!” He yelled at him, and Marshall did as he had requested.

Once the Mammoth had the table, it was time to do something with it. He set it up in the middle of the ring and pushed Geo into the corner where he went to work on his skull, pounding it with hard closed fists. Rose went to the corner and started counting to ten, and once the Mammoth had made it he ordered him to stop. The Mammoth shoved Rose away, and Rose would have struck him but he’d of been costing Geo the match then. 

The Mammoth turned Geo around and he sat on the top of the turnbuckles with Geo in front of him. The Mammoth leant forward to grab Geo, but Rose sort of stopped that from happening by attempting to relax by leaning on the ropes… And applying a little pressure… And shaking vigorously… Which then made the Mammoth lose his balance… Which then resulted in the Mammoth losing concentration, giving Geo the upper hand to hop up onto the second turnbuckle and start laying into the Mammoth’s huge head.

Marshall yelled at Rose, telling him that what he did was illegal. Rose defended himself by telling him that he never touched the Mammoth, and that it isn’t his fault that the big dude can’t keep himself up.

The match went on. Once Geo had the Mammoth weakened enough, he tossed him down from the turnbuckle because he realized he wouldn’t be able to pull off any type of top rope maneuver with the big man. Geo took a page from the Mammoth and asked Rose to get him a chair. Rose slid out of the ring and grabbed a chair. 

He tossed it to Vacton who wasted no time in cracking it over the Mammoth’s skull. He had been waiting a long time to do that. Geo stomped on the Mammoth and then lifted him up. He pried him up onto the table, slapped him with the chair one more time and then climbed on top of him to drill his head in some more. Once he was happy with his the Mammoth’s state, Geo climbed up to the top rope with the chair in hand. He stood at the top of the turnbuckle, and looked around.

He had a crazy idea. He took a deep breath, and leapt into the air. With an incredible display of aerial technique he landed on the Mammoth with a shooting star press, the chair landing between the two. Geo landed the Mammoth and the two went right through the table. Geo laid there for a moment, and then removed the chair making his position into a legal pinfall. Rose slid over, and began making the count.
One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Good God!! Geo won the match in under five minutes!! What the hell?! How in the… Wait, wait, wait… Rose signaled for the bell, and declared Geo the winner, but there was a bit of confusion. About now you’d expect to have heard Geo’s theme music playing, and then an announcer declaring him the winner. But that wasn’t happening. The bell simply rang three times, and then nothing.

“Geo won!!” Rose yelled at the ring announcer and timekeeper table, but the officials sitting there seemed to not agree. “What the hell?!” They were all shaking their heads No.

Geo climbed up to his feet and went over to Rose. Marshall had a big smile on his face, and by now had a mic in his hand. He tapped Rose on the shoulder to get his attention.

“Rose, Rose… It seems we made a mistake.” Rose cocked his head to the side. “You see… We never rang the bell to start the match!!” Marshall began to laugh, but Rose didn’t seem pleased. “Haha… So, Geo ain’t the winner. Heh… That bell we just heard marked the beginning of the match. Ha… Too bad.” Marshall handed the mic back to someone outside the ring, and Rose seemed infuriated. 

“UUUGGGHH!!!” He said as he paced back and forth. But hey, what is; is. So the match now officially began with the Mammoth in the middle of the ring on a broken table.

Quickly Geo dropped down on top of the Mammoth once more and hooked his leg. Rose dropped to his knees and slapped the mat.

One

Two

Three

Four

No. The Mammoth raised his left arm, pulling his shoulder off the mat. Rose broke the count and got back to his feet. Geo rolled over to his knee before getting back to his feet, dragging the Mammoth up with him.

Geo held the chin of the Mammoth with his left hand, holding him steady for a moment before driving his right fist in to the corner of his forehead. The Mammoth dropped back down to the mat but quickly rolled back up to his feet. Geo hammered him in the face once more, dropping him to the mat. Again the Mammoth was quick to his feet, as Geo had clearly expected. Geo bounced off the ropes and delivered a clothesline sending the Mammoth crashing down to the mat for a third time.

Geo took a moment to show boat, raising his arms in the air and giving off his trademark smile before setting to work on his downed opponent. Geo dropped his boot deep down in to the solar plexus of the Mammoth once, twice, three times before dropping down sideways and driving his fist in to the nose of the Mammoth hard. The Mammoth’s legs kicked in the air as his hands clenched his face. He rolled to face away from Geo who grabbed the Mammoth’s shoulder and rolled him back on to his back and slung his arm across his chest. Phoenix Rose slid down to the mat and slapped his right hand down against it.

One.

Two.

Thre-The Mammoth kicked his legs hard and turned his body to get his left shoulder up off the mat.

Geo slid straight out of the ring under the bottom rope whilst the Mammoth lay on the mat still trying to get to his feet. Geo fumbled under the ring and removed a trashcan filled with other appliances and shoved them forcefully in to the ring under the bottom rope.

Marshall paced over to the can of weapons and picked them up, turning away from Geo to run away with the weaponry. Phoenix Rose saw this and charged at Marshall who was blinded by the sheets of metal in front of his face. Rose speared the can driving it in to the torso of Marshall. Marshall crashed to the mat and Phoenix slid off of the trashcan that flew across the ring. Geo by now had already got back in to the ring and let the two officials go at it whilst he headed over to the can pulling out a mop. The Mammoth was up to all fours by now and crawled over to the ropes. 

He rested his arms and neck on them catching his breath. Geo ran across the ring and bounced off the ropes parallel to those that his opponent rested on before jumping across the ring towards him placing the mop between his legs as if it were a witches broom, the wood cracked as Geo’s legs slid through the ropes and the handle snapped across the spine of the Mammoth. Geo slid through the ropes and landed on his feet on the outside of the ring. Briskly he spun around and slapped the Mammoth in the face hard. The Mammoth flew backwards crashing down to the mat. Geo took a moment to go back underneath the ring.

Meanwhile, back inside the ring Phoenix Rose sat on top of Marshall and pummeled him in the face with shot after shot to the face. Rose got to his feet and held the top rope before beginning to stomp away at the chest and stomach of the official for a while. Phoenix then let go of the ropes and gave thunderous kicks to the side of Marshall sending him rolling around the ring.

Marshall rolled to his feet and ran across the ring helping up the Mammoth and hiding behind his limp body. The clause in the contract stated that no referee could have physical contact with the opposite wrestler, Marshall being hidden behind Phoenix’s ‘out of bounds’ wrestler meant that he had to let his pursuit go. Phoenix stepped back, his hands raised in peac-Phoenix advanced forwards, sliding one foot in to the air and super kicking Marshall in the forehead sending him stumbling backwards and crashing out of the ring and down to the cold hard floor below where he then lay for some time.

The Mammoth fell back down to his hands and knees as Phoenix retired to the furthest corner from the action and sat on the middle turnbuckle, his feet still on the mat.

Geo by now had pulled out a ladder and leant it against the ring ropes from the outside of the ring.

Geo lifted the ladder from the bottom rung and slid it over the top rope, letting it drop down half in to the ring, the bottom of the ladder now facing upwards to the ceiling of the arena. Geo scaled the ring apron and readjusted the ladder so that it was just underneath the Mammoth’s stomach; the Mammoth being on all fours and all gave Geo a lot of space to suck the ladder under his opponent’s torso. 

Geo then took the bottom of the ladder in both his hands, jumped in to the air, fell backwards and yanked the ladder down and back out of the ring, driving the top of the ladder in to the Mammoth’s stomach and ribs. The ladder lifted the Mammoth up in to the air and flying over the top rope and in to the first row of the audience, landing on top of a few fans that fell down to the ground with him. Geo also crashed down to the outside of the ring but was well enough to get straight back to his feet.

“Holy shit, holy shit!” chants came from the first few rows of the audience, those that were still standing of course as geo climbed over the barricade and headed towards the Mammoth who still lay out on the concrete floor. Men in yellow security T-shirts cleared some space for Geo and the Mammoth to go at it whilst Geo lifted the Mammoth to his feet. It appeared that the Mammoth was playing possum. Sure, his ribs hurt like hell after that huge ‘extreme’ spot he had just pulled off but he was quick enough to jab geo in the eye with his finger as soon as he got to his feet. As Geo stumbled backwards the Mammoth advanced with a huge right hook to the side of Geo’s face. 

Geo collapsed against the guardrail, both arms out stretched across the top to keep him standing. The Mammoth approached with a head of steam and booted Geo in the face with a hard right boot to the chin sending him cart wheeling over the barricade and back to ringside. The Mammoth scaled the barricade, stepping over it easily. He pulled Geo up to his feet by the waist of his tights before grabbing him by the throat. He took a moment or two to trash talk Geo before tightening his grip on his throat. As this happened Geo kicked the Mammoth in the groin forcing him to release his grip on Geo’s neck and move his attention to his *ahem* manhood. As he did this Geo approached with punch after punch sending him stumbling backwards.

After a few more shots the Mammoth let out a huge roar, charging at Geo and hitting him with a powerful clothesline. Geo Vacton collapsed, rolling backwards across the floor before resting on his stomach his arms and legs resting in an uneasy, unnatural position. The Mammoth took this opportunity to pace over to the ladder and hoist it up in to his arms. He placed it on top of his right shoulder as if he were a lumberjack carrying a log (and for the size of his he certainly could have been.) He used his free left arm to motion upwards with an open palm yelling at his opponent to get to his feet. Geo did as he was told, not that his ears were working well enough right now to hear a word that the Mammoth was saying after that thunderous clothesline.

Geo turned around and the Mammoth charged right at him, but as he did he was interrupted. Geo Vacton’s hand-picked referee came to the save selflessly throwing his own head in front of the speeding 412 pound man with a large ladder in his arms (Phoenix never was thought of as intelligent, this just happens to prove it.) The metal made a sickening crack as it connected hard with the referee’s skull. Phoenix’s limp body slapped against the floor loosely as blood tricked from the fresh wound on his head. The Mammoth dropped the ladder to the floor.

(It should be noted that because this *was* accidental it would not affect the clause in the contract.)

As the Mammoth peered down at the now seemingly unconscious official Geo took the opportunity to swing a super kick his way. The Mammoth saw it coming and blocked it, pushing Geo’s right foot to the Mammoth’s left before pushing his body forwards and locking his hand around Geo’s neck once more. This time he would not waste time trash talking but rather he hoisted Geo in to the air and slammed him down against the cold, hard, unforgiving floor, his entire body making a loud thud as he hit the ground hard and fast.

Mammoth wasted little time in stooping down and tugging on Geo’s neatly trimmed blonde hair and pulling him up to his feet. Mammoth rolled Geo back in to the ring under the bottom rope before walking over to the side of the ring himself. The Mammoth climbed in to the ring slowly, methodically and headed over to a recovering Geo Vacton.

Geo burst in to life, flinging his head back in to the air and brushing the Mammoth’s arms to the side. Geo hurled his fist in to the face of the Mammoth’s face, stunning him and sending him stumbling backwards. The Mammoth leant himself against the ropes at the rear of the ring slowly recovering.

Both men were up again now. They looked into each other’s eyes, but their moment didn’t last long. The Mammoth tied it up with Geo and the two brawled for a moment until eventually the Mammoth lifted Geo up over his head and tossed him out of the ring with a Gorilla press slam. Although Geo landed on the mats outside the ring, he was still hurting. The Mammoth climbed out of the ring over the top rope and jumped down beside Geo. He scooped Geo up and charged him into the steel steps. Geo’s body flipped over them and landed on the other side.

“Geo!

Geo!

Geo!”

The crowd started to chant Geo’s name, hoping they could revive him like they have so many times in the past. The Mammoth picked up the steel steps and attempted to toss them onto Geo, but he reached down deep inside and kicked them away. The crowd roared for Geo as he jumped back to his feet and launched an attack onto the Mammoth, diving into him with a clothesline and then several shots to the stomach. None of this was much affecting the Mammoth since he is the biggest thing that ever-stepped foot into an ACW ring.

Geo ducked one of the Mammoth’s huge tree like swings, and then backed off. Geo retrieved the steps that the Mammoth had tossed at him, and Geo crept towards him. The Mammoth went to grab the steps from Geo, and Geo through them at him. The Mammoth caught them, and Geo took no time in going RVD style and kicking them into his chest. The Mammoth stumbled backwards, and Geo began to plow the steps into him. Once being happy with the Mammoth’s stage, Geo backed away and began to pull up the mats from the side of the ring, exposing a hard concrete floor beneath. The crowd erupted.

“T-N-T!!!

T-N-T!!!

T-N-T!!!”

Geo began to pick up the Mammoth, but he was quickly coming back to life and he shot an uppercut at him. The Mammoth picked Geo up and put him into the German suplex position, but didn’t make the move. He put him up the ring apron. Geo fought back with hard rights and left, he was now only a few inches taller than the Mammoth. After a hard punch to the jaw, Geo went for the glory… The crowd exploded.

TNT DDT!!!!!!

Ok, technically it was a tornado DDT, but let’s not get technical.

Geo grabbed the Mammoth’s head, and kicked off the ring apron to spin them both around and to drop the Mammoth’s huge head onto the exposed concrete. The two laid there for a moment, and then Geo went for the pin.

Rose dropped down to his knees and started a count…

One!

Two!

Three!!! Geo’s won!!! …No, wait… Pins go up to five in an Action! Match.

Four!!!

No! The Mammoth got a shoulder up. Geo rolled away from the Mammoth and laid on the mat beside him. Geo slowly got back up to his feet, and the Mammoth began to twitch and slowly get up as well. Geo jumped up to his feet and began to kick the Mammoth as he tried to stand. The Mammoth eventually worked his way back up to his feet, and gave Geo a tremendously hard punch to the throat. Geo stumbled back towards the guardrail. The Mammoth used him big foot to big Geo a big boot, which sent him right over the guardrail and into the fans.

The Mammoth climbed over the guardrail and followed Geo. The fans in the area began to move out of the way. Rose and Marshall jumped over the guardrail to follow the action. Geo tried to crawl away, but the Mammoth wouldn’t let him. A few fans of Geo began to get involved in the match… And technically, since it was hardcore rules, they were aloud… They held the Mammoth back from Geo, and there was really nothing the Mammoth could do… If he touched them, he’d be sued. He was under hardcore rules, they, however, were not.

So Geo climbed back up to his feet, and with his faithful fans holding the Mammoth back, Geo began to go all out on Mammoth with hard lefts and rights. Marshall began to pull fans off of the Mammoth knowing that they’d possibly cost him the match. As the Mammoth broke free, he fought back at Geo.

The Mammoth wrapped his huge hands around Geo’s neck, and choke slammed him on to the arena floor. The Mammoth went for a pinfall, and the Marshall was right there to try and make it.

Onetwothreefour… No!! Even with Marshall’s speed counting, Geo was able to get a shoulder up.

At this point security was in the area and they were holding the crowd back, lord knows a lot of them wanted to get in on the action.

Geo slowly crawled up back to his feet, and he began to crawl away, the Mammoth kicking him every few steps giving Geo some more speed. Geo eventually made it back over to a guardrail and he climbed over it. By going through the crowd, Geo and the Mammoth had found a short cut back to the bottom of the steel ramp. The two began to fight in the shadows of the steel ramp, which was about twenty to thirty feet up above them. Sound techs and pyro-technicians began to scramble away. The two brawled. The Mammoth attempted to whip Geo into the wall that supported the ramp, but Geo reversed it and sent the Mammoth plowing into it.

THUD!! The noise it made was deafening, and the dent it left was huge. Geo now took the upper hand and began to knock the Mammoth’s head into the wall, which was made out of some type of thin light metal. Geo dropped the Mammoth’s head and began to stomp on it. Geo walked away and grabbed a chair. Geo slammed it across the Mammoth’s head, and then to inflict further injury he stomped on it while it was laid over his head.

Geo left the Mammoth alone for a moment to grab a table. Geo looked up at the top of the entrance ramp and grinned. Quite a few fans in the arena knew what Geo was thinking. Geo set up the table about ten feet away from the wall, and then grabbed the Mammoth. He kicked him a few times in the head, and then finally tossed him onto the table. Geo punched away at his skull, and then left him there.

For a while Geo disappeared and the Mammoth still laid on the table. Marshall looked around, not knowing where Geo was or where he could be… But Rose knew exactly where he was, and the fans watching at home knew too.

He was on top of the entrance ramp getting ready to jump off.

And the crowd started to chant:

T-N-T!!!

T-N-T!!!!

T-N-T!!!!

And Marshall looked up to see Geo, and he almost crapped his pants.

And then Geo jumped off in a blaze of glory.

Marshall realized that he had to do something, and so he sacrificed himself.

Yep, Marshall shoved the Mammoth off of the table, and wasn’t able to move out of the way in enough time to save himself and…

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

CRACK!!!!!

ANY-OTHER-NOISE-YOU-WOULD-HEAR-WHEN-SOMEONE-GOES-THROUGH-A-TABLE!!

Geo landed on Marshall with an insane elbow drop from the top of the entrance ramp. The crowd was roaring. Geo didn’t hit his mark, but he still got something damn good. Marshall laid on the remains of the table, not moving at all. Geo slowly rolled away, but he was certainly in pain.

The only man left standing was Rose. He slid over to Geo and began to check on him, and then he looked at Marshall who wasn’t moving at all.

“HOLY SHIT, GEO!!”

Rose slapped Marshall, trying to get him to come to, but it looked like he was out like a light.

“Aw, fuck…”

Rose shuck Marshall, and checked his pulse.

“Ok, well… He’s alive.” Rose shuck Marshall again. “C’mon, dude, get up…”

“Would you fuck off you little cunt.” Marshall wasn’t dead… He was far from it. He kicked Rose away from him and then took a few steps back.

“You fucking dick…” Rose shoved Marshall, and the two began to go at it.

By this point the Mammoth was already up, and unlike Geo he hadn’t just gone through a table. He picked Geo up and slapped him around. He decided to end this real fast, and kicked him in the stomach and then went for the legendary move…

THE LAST LAUGH.

Geo was lifted into the air, and then dropped like a sack of potatoes. Mammoth went for the pin.











Hell, he’d of won by now… Three times over with Marshall’s fast counting… But unfortunately, Marshall was too busy to make the pin. Him and Rose were still going at it.

“Get the fuck over here, this ain’t your match!!!” Mammoth roared at Marshall.

The Mammoth got up and grabbed Rose. He took him by his referee shirt and flung him into the wall of the entrance ramp. Once Rose was in a daze, the Mammoth tried another pinfall.

Marshall tripped over to make the count…

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

At the last second, Geo got his shoulder up. The crowd roared. Mammoth picked up Geo and tossed him in the direction of the ring, but it was still about a hundred feet away. The Mammoth lifted Geo and walked with him until the two made it to the area of the ramp where the slope was low enough for the Mammoth to lift Geo up above his head and drop him making his face hit the side of the ramp. Geo’s head bounced off with a thud, and his body hit the mat.

Marshall, who probably had a broken rib after Geo’s elbow hit him, was following the two close from behind, and Rose wasn’t far either.

The Mammoth picked Geo up and tossed him up onto the entrance ramp, and then he climbed up after him. The Mammoth stomped on Geo until eventually picking him up. He tucked his head between his huge legs, and then brought Geo up into the power bomb position. And then he let out a move that really did look like a work of art… The running spinning power bomb, better known as…

The Flushaway.

CLANK!!!

The sound of Geo’s back hitting the ramp was utterly disgusting and something that could be heard throughout the entire arena. It even echoed. The Mammoth went for another pinfall, and Marshall was right there to make the count.

Onetwothreefourfi--

No! Geo kicked out. The crowd roared!!

Mammoth, now even more pissed off, started laying into Geo with hard lefts and rights. Geo’s lip broke open, and the stitches he had in his brow from previous encounters with the Mammoth quickly broke away, and Geo was bleeding from two areas.

The Mammoth eventually grew bored and brought Geo back down the ramp, in the quickest way possible. He literally tossed Geo down the ramp hard enough that once he landed, he bounced and then rolled the rest of the way down. Geo rolled into the ring apron, and left his body half exposed.

Rose, who never went up onto the entrance ramp but instead stayed on the side, rushed over to Geo. The Mammoth and Marshall were taking their time, they exchanged words but what they said couldn’t exactly be heard.

The Mammoth poked Geo with his boot, and Geo didn’t move.

“That kid’s knocked out!!! This is a TKO!!!! Someone ring the bell!!!!!”

Marshall began to tell the timekeeper to ring the bell, but they didn’t.

“No! This match can only be won with a five second pinfall! There is no TKO!!”

“Aw, fucking shit…”

The Mammoth kicked Geo again, and this time Geo came alive. He kicked the Mammoth back, right square in the testicles. The Mammoth cringed and bent over; he looked like he was about to puke. As Geo got up, there was something in his hand… but no one could tell what it was. It looked like a container of ketchup or something like that.

The Mammoth held onto the ropes for support, still in obvious pain.

Geo, with blood running down his face, rolled into the ring. He paced around, and held the object up to the crowd… Yet still, no one could tell what exactly it was until…

He took out a strike anywhere match…

He was holding a stick of dynamite.

“HOLY SHIT!!

HOLY SHIT!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!”

The crowd started to chant. Geo grinned, and waved the items at the Mammoth.

“BLOW HIM UP!!

BLOW HIM UP!!

BLOW HIM UP!!!”

Geo paced around the ring. On the outside was Marshall, who never came into the ring and certainly wasn’t going to now. Rose looked at Geo, even he looked scared.

“T-N-T!!!

T-N-T!!!!

T-N-T!!!!”

Geo spun around in a circle, and then dropped to his knees. It was like a ceremony. He took the match, and struck it against the canvas of the ring.

“Geo… No… C’mon…”

Rose pleaded with Geo.

“Don’t light that thing, Geo!!”

Geo didn’t even look in Rose’s direction. His eyes were locked with the Mammoth’s. The Mammoth looked scared, but he wasn’t about to run.

SSSSRRRCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIVVEE!!!!!

Geo lit the stick of dynamite and tossed it from one hand to the other. He held it up in the air and waved it around, and then through it right at the Mammoth.

“WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?” The Mammoth caught it and immediately through it up into the air.

Geo ducked down and covered his ears; many fans in the arena did the same.

BBBPHHHRRRROOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About ten feet above the ring the stick of dynamite exploded in a tremendous display of light!!! Particles flew everywhere, and dark smoke began to descend onto the ring. No one could believe what they were witnessing. Flames shot out in all directions for about three seconds, and then it died down to nothing. All that was left was the smoke, and the shock that filled the arena.

“Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!!!” Seemed to be the chant sweeping the arena.

The Mammoth snarled and grabbed Geo. He began kicking him in the stomach.

“You stupid little fuck!!!” He held him by the throat and kicked him in the stomach. Geo flapped back and forth like a rag doll.

The Mammoth grew tired of that, and so tossed him off to the side. Geo stumbled into the corner of the ring, and attempted to catch his breath as the Mammoth paced around the ring filled with anger and shock… And he was a bit jealous over the fact that Geo was the one who pulled the spot off and not himself.

Marshall and Rose both reentered the ring at about the same time, and the two of course shot eyes at each other. If stares could kill, then I think we’d have some sort of a duel right about now… Wow, how freaking corny.

The Mammoth charged at Geo, and Geo deftly avoided the move by pulling himself up onto the top turnbuckle and sticking his feet out so that the Mammoth would hit his boots and not him. The Mammoth bounced back a few feet, and Geo then pulled himself up onto the top turnbuckle and launched himself off with a missile drop kick. The Mammoth dropped to his knees and Geo climbed behind him and started punching him from behind, hooking his arms around to hit him in the face.

The Mammoth slowly began to climb to his feet with Geo still hanging on behind him punching him in every spot he could. The Mammoth tried to shake him off once he was on his feet, but he found it to be unsuccessful. The Mammoth then tried a different concept, which certainly worked: he dropped back, squashing Geo between him and the mat. The Mammoth rolled over, and grabbed Geo. He went for a pin.

Marshall slid over to make the count…

Onetwothreefour!!

Geo picked up his shoulder and the pin was stopped. The Mammoth grabbed Geo and punched him a few times in the skull. He picked him up to his feet and began a barrage of power moves on Vacton. He started off with a simple gut wrench power bomb, and then brought him back up into the air with a suplex where he held him upside down for close to twenty seconds. He brought Geo down hard with a jackhammer.

The Mammoth stepped outside of the ring and retrieved the ladder that Geo had gotten out earlier. He effortlessly tossed it into the ring. Once back in the ring, he opened the ladder up. After scooping Geo up, he tossed him inside of the ladder and laid the other half on top of him.

The Mammoth looked around at the crowd. They immediately began to boo him. The Mammoth now climbed up to the second rope, he didn’t climb to the third because he didn’t have enough energy left to keep his balance going way up there. He leapt off, and a lot of people expected Geo to roll out of the ladder…

But he didn’t.

CRUNCH!!!!!!!!! The Mammoth landed on the ladder with his feet pushed very close together. Geo’s mangled body jerked after he stepped off. Geo looked like he was spent.

Would this be the end?

The Mammoth came back to his feet and picked Geo up. He brought him up into the air with a gut wrench power bomb. Before getting back up, the Mammoth grabbed Geo’s legs. He stood for a moment holding onto Geo’s ankles, and then he stepped forward putting Geo into an elevated Boston Crab. At first Geo didn’t struggle at all, he was too far out of it from everything else he had been through in the match, but he eventually started to come to and he began to fight back, but he was finding it hard.

Marshall slid over to Geo and started asking him if he gave up.

“ARRGGHH!!!” Geo yelled at Marshall.

“What? What? RING THE BELL!!!!! RING THE BELL!!!!! GEO GIVES UP!!!!!!!” Marshall stood up and ordered the timekeeper’s table to ring the bell.

*DING DING DING!!!!!!!!!!!*

The bell rang, and the arena filled with boos.

“What?! What the hell?!?! NO!!!” Rose raced over to the timekeeper’s table. “GEO DIDN’T GIVE UP!!!”

The Mammoth dropped Geo’s legs. “The hell he did!!! I heard it!!!”

The arena filled with boos, and everyone was confused.

“Would you shut the hell up and quit bitching!! Play our music!! We won!!” Marshall yelled at the timekeepers.

“No, no, no!! He didn’t give up!!!” Rose stood firm by his decision… but so did Marshall.

“SHUTTHEFUCKUP!!!” Marshall jumped out of the ring and grabbed Rose. Rose shoved him off of him.

No one knew what to do, or who to believe.

“Geo never gave up, the match is still on.”

“Geo gave up!!! I heard him!!!”

And then, there came an answer.

“Magic Man” by Love filled the arena, and the arena filled with cheers.

None other than Magick Man stepped out from behind the curtains and strolled down to the ring shaking his head. He held a microphone in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. The crowd was roaring. Magick stood at the bottom of the entrance ramp, with a smile from ear to ear. He cleared his throat and spoke…

“Ok… Ok… C’mon guys, I’m not STUPID.” Magick unfolded the piece of paper. “I hold in my hand here a copy of the match contract… A contract which all five of us read, signed, and agreed to… Hell, it was Me who wrote it. And since I’m not stupid, I knew that something like this was bound to happen. So, that’s why if you’d of read the damn thing from top to bottom, and if you’d of read between the lines, you’d of found this exact article of text…

“’If there should come a time in the match where both referees do not agree on a decision made, a third and more powerful referee will be instated to make the final decision regarding the matter.’ It goes on to say that the said third referee cannot make pinfalls or any other match call, but that he can only rule over a said decision… Oh, it also goes on to say whom that referee is… ‘The third, and more powerful referee, will hereby be the undersigned.’ And since I know that you can’t see what it says… I’ll tell you. It says M. Man… you got it, buddy. Magick Man.”

The crowd roared.

“MAGICK MAN!!! MAGICK MAN!!! MAGICK MAN!!!” The crowd chanted.

Marshall was pissed. He began throwing a tantrum.

The Mammoth leaned up against the ropes and started to scream at Magick. His words were too graphic and too violent to be reprinted.

“Sooooo… In case you couldn’t have already guessed… I’m going to rule in favor of Mr. Phoenix Rose in saying that Geo Vacton did NOT give up, and therefore The Mammoth is NOT the winner of the match, and therefore the match is not over and will be restarted effective immediately. Ring the bell.” Magick dropped the mic and turned to the crowd, who met him with cheers. Magick hung around the entrance ramp, watching the match.

*DING DING DING!!!*

The bell rang for the third time in the match, and the match was restarted.

While the Mammoth was busy trash talking Magick Man, he left his back exposed to Vacton. Geo was up, and holding the ladder that was brought into the ring. He held it up across his chest and charged at the Mammoth.

TWACK!!!!

Geo dug the ladder into the Mammoth’s chest. The Mammoth stumbled back. Geo spun around with the ladder in hand and smack the Mammoth again. Geo dropped the ladder, and began an assault on the Mammoth, punching him left and right.

Marshall climbed back into the ring, and decided to start becoming an enforcer in the match. He pulled Geo off of the Mammoth.

“Excessive use of fists, step back.” Marshall called. Geo shoved Marshall away and continued his assault on the Mammoth. The Mammoth finally fought back and shoved Geo away.

Rose slid into the ring and watched the action. The Mammoth picked Geo up and put him over his shoulder. He nailed him down across the mat, making Geo land on his back. The Mammoth went for the pin.

Marshall slid down to make another one of his fast counts.

Onetwothreefour!!!

Geo managed to get a shoulder up, much as he was able to do every other time in the match.

The Mammoth brought Geo back up and punched him a few times in the head before bringing him up and down again with a back breaker. The Mammoth again went for the pin. It seemed like he really wanted this match to be done and over with.

Onetwothreefour!!!

Geo again got a shoulder up. Climbing to his feet, the Mammoth picked Geo up again. He brought him over to the ladder and dropped him on top of it. The Mammoth went to the ropes, leaned on them and kicked off. He dropped on top of Geo with a splash, and then made yet another pinfall.

Onetwothreefour!!!

Rose was getting tired of Marshall’s fast counts by now, but there was nothing he could do about it because if he interfered in a pinfall then he would cost Geo the match.

Geo got his shoulder up again. The Mammoth was getting irritated. He brought Geo over to the other side of the ring and did the same move he had down earlier, The Flushaway, only this time it wasn’t as graceful. He just didn’t have it in him to do something like that this late into the match.

He went for the pin again.

Onetwothreefourfive!!!! NO!!! Geo, at the very last moment, got his shoulder up.

The Mammoth went for another pin.

Onetwothreefour!! Geo got his shoulder up again. Rose stomped his foot, thoroughly enraged at Marshall’s fast counts.

The Mammoth tried once more.

Onetwothree!!! No, Geo got out of it!!! Rose now had a chair in his hands.

He held it up, and the Mammoth went for ANOTHER pinfall.

Onetwothree!! No!! Geo got his shoulder up again.

The Mammoth was about to go for another pinfall, but before he could Phoenix Rose grabbed Marshall, forced him to his feet and then TWACK!!! Cracked the chair over his head. Marshall went down like a ton of bricks.

“PHOENIX!!! 

PHOENIX!!! 

PHOENIX!!!” The crowd was roaring for Rose.

The Mammoth wasn’t so pleased. He stood up to face Rose, but as he got up so did Geo.

You’re probably thinking that Geo pulled a big move out of the hat and then went for the pin…

But you’d be wrong.

Geo spun the Mammoth around and kicked him in the stomach, but the Mammoth would have none of that. He shoved his foot away and grabbed him by the neck. He brought him up into the air, and then brought him down the mat with a power bomb… you got it…

THE LAST LAUGH. The arena filled with boos.

The Mammoth again went for the pin.







Yeah, there was a slight problem… Marshall was knocked out in the corner of the ring.

The Mammoth was pissed. He stormed around the ring, and finally came back to Geo. He lifted him up and smacked him across the face, sending spit and blood everywhere. The Mammoth brought Geo across the ring back to the ladder… Geo was starting to really hate that damned thing, and he wished he’d never of taken it out from under the ring.

The Mammoth lifted the ladder up and dropped it over Geo’s back. Geo fell to the mat, and the Mammoth now began to set the ladder up a few feet away from Geo. The Mammoth stomped away at Vacton, and then began to climb the ladder. It took him a while to make it to the top and turn around to face Geo, but Geo was still lying on the mat.

The Mammoth looked down at Geo. There was fear in the Mammoth’s eyes. He was tall already, and now he was even taller… He knew it was gonna hurt when we jumped off… But luckily for him, he wouldn’t have to jump.

Because he’d fall off instead.

Phoenix Rose pretended to sneeze, and then shoved the ladder. The Mammoth and the ladder teetered for a moment, and then he came crashing down to the mat and wouldn’t you know it… He and the ladder landed right on top of…

Marshall.

Geo slowly rose back up to his feet, but he was surely feeling the effects of the match. The Mammoth began to climb to his feet too, and when he was standing again he felt the smack of a chair hitting him across the face. Geo continued his assault with the chair, knowing full well that he wasn’t going to be able to do anything involving the Mammoth getting off of the mat in his current condition.

So Geo drilled the chair into the Mammoth’s chest, and then laid it on top of his face. Geo looked around at the crowd, kind of asking them whether or not he should really do it…

He didn’t need their assistance in drawing a conclusion. The maniac did it. He stomped onto the chair with the Mammoth’s head beneath it.

KRRCK!!! The sound of the Mammoth’s face being crushed by the chair was enough to make everyone’s stomach turn.

But Geo wasn’t done. He brought the ladder back into the middle of the ring and set it back upright. He kicked the Mammoth a few times, and now he planned to do what the Mammoth could not…

Geo climbed up the ladder and stood at the top. But there’s something you gotta realize… The Mammoth is huge, and he can take a lot of hits. He climbed back to his knees, grabbed the ladder and started to rock it. Geo teetered back and forth, but he however didn’t fall. Instead, he did a fire fighter technique and slid down the sides of the ladder, bringing his boots right to the Mammoth’s huge head. The Mammoth then hit his chin on the bottom rung, and rolled over.

Geo kicked him a few more times in the stomach, and then set the ladder back up. He again began to climb.

The Mammoth got back up too… he was obviously slower, but he began to climb on the opposite side of it. Geo got to the top first and looked at the Mammoth climbing.

“What the hell are you doing…”

The Mammoth made it to the top, and the two of them began to go at it. The ladder rocked with their every punch. Finally, Geo brought his legs up to the top of the ladder. He now stood above the Mammoth, but he didn’t stand there long. He kicked himself into the Mammoth, and they both fell. The Mammoth fell backwards and Geo fell forwards with him. They both landed near the ropes, but more of their bodies landed on the outside side of it, so they both flew out to the outside of the ring.

The crowd roared, although at this point they were honestly concerned for both of their well beings.

The two laid on the outside of the ring, probably out cold. The ladder fell too, but luckily it rested contently on the ropes.

Rose climbed out of the ring to check on Geo. Geo coughed a little, but then gave him the thumbs up. Magick watched him. There was part of a smile on his face, but c’mon, how much can one guy take in a night?

All the way.

Geo jumped back to his feet and brought the Mammoth back up. He put his arms around his neck from behind and ran to the ring apron committing a bulldog. The Mammoth’s huge head hit the ground. Geo stomped away at it, and then slid back into the ring. He brought the ladder back up. He slid out once more, but was halted. Just how far was the Mammoth willing to go to for this match?

All. The. Way.

The Mammoth grabbed Geo and shoved him back into the ring. He slammed his face into the ladder, and then shoved him into the turnbuckles. The Mammoth charged at Geo, but Geo dodged it. He then Irish whipped the Mammoth into the ropes, but the Mammoth blocked it. When Geo returned, the Mammoth brought him up into the air with a gorilla press slam and then tossed him out of the ring.

Geo fell onto the outside ring mats, and then the Mammoth placed the ladder close to the ropes and opening of it facing where Geo was lying. The Mammoth began to climb.

Geo breathed heavily outside of the ring, and didn’t move much until the Mammoth was about half way up the ladder. Geo began to get up, and he slowly entered the ring. He began to climb opposite of the Mammoth. Geo began to climb, but he found it difficult with the recovered Marshall pulling on his legs.

Rose took care of that problem. He grabbed Marshall, but Marshall fought back violently. The two brawled for a moment, but Geo and the Mammoth didn’t pay attention. They each continued to climb the rungs of the ladder; both of them were around the same area.

Marshall kicked Rose and shoved him into the ropes. When Rose returned he found a super kick waiting for him. Marshall returned to Vacton and pulled at his leg. Geo responded with a tremendous mule kick. Marshall stumbled backwards.

Geo and the Mammoth were now eye to near the top of the ramp. The two swung at each other, and Geo ducked one of the Mammoth’s huge arms. The Mammoth lost his balance for a moment atop the ladder, which was enough to give Geo the advantage.

Geo punched the Mammoth square across the cheek, and then climbed up one more rung. He then forced the Mammoth to turn around. The Mammoth moved in the direction guided by Geo only because he didn’t have much balance and would surly fall off if he wasn’t careful. So now Geo stood behind the Mammoth.

With nothing to lose, Rose gave Marshall a big DDT onto the chair that was used to take him down the first time. Marshall was out for the moment.

Geo grabbed the Marshall’s neck and held his arm up to the crowd. They very soon realized what his intentions were…

And right about now you’re probably thinking that the Mammoth is going to somehow get out of this…

But you’re wrong.

Geo spun himself and the Mammoth around on top of the ladder and then jumped off with the Mammoth in tow.

“HOLYSHIT!!! HOLYSHIT!!!” The crowd couldn’t believe it!!!

THE DYNAMITE DROP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geo hit the Dynamite Drop off of the top of the ladder and down to the outside of the ring, a good twenty-foot drop!!!

Rose baseball slid out of the ring, as Geo went for the pin….

ONE!!!!!

TWO!!!!

THREE!!!!!

FOUR!!!!!!

FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geo got it!!! Geo got it!!

*DING DING DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

The crowd erupted with cheers.

“Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, GEO VACTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The announcers voice rang over the arena, and then came the celebration.

“’COS I’M T-N-T!!!! I’M DYNAMITE!!!!!”

“TNT” by AC/DC filled the arena. Magick Man rushed down the ramp to Geo. He embraced him with a blood soaked hug. Geo coughed and patted him on the back. Rose grabbed Geo’s arm, and the three held their arms up into the air signifying their victory.

Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. The three of them looked at the ring… Which was more like the wreckage at this point. Marshall was slowly making his way out of the ring, going to check on the still downed Mammoth.

Geo, Rose, and Magick all made their ways into the ring. Geo held his arms out to the crowd. The crowd erupted. Blood ran down Geo’s face, and yet he still smiled.

Rose marched around the ring, pointing at Geo and clapping his hands. The crowd was exploding.

Marshall climbed back into the ring, and he was met immediately by a punch from Rose. The two began to go at it again, and they brawled into the stands.

Geo watched the two for a moment, and then he and Magick stepped over the downed Mammoth and made their way back up the ramp. Geo took off his shirt and began to wipe the blood off his face as the two waved their hands at the crowd and then headed off to the unknown backstage area.

For Geo, it was over. He had proved that he was the better man over the Mammoth. For Marshall and the Mammoth, however, things were far from over. They still had to get over being called the Action! League... Will they ever get the respect and credibility they deserve? 

WINNER : Geo Vacton

The acwTRON came to life, and it was filled with gold.

Not literally.

But the gold of the ACW World Title zoomed in close, and as the shot panned out it's owner filled the screen, as boo's filled the arena that looked onto it.

"Firstly, what I want to say is this...nobody does *this* anymore, and for all the entertainment bullshit that you are watching these days, all they need to figure out is this is the best way to get over to your fans, the medium of mouth, and vision..."

The fans didn't know what to think.

"Fuck the WWE and their commercialized 2 hours of crap on a Monday night."

Some subsections of cheers.

"Fuck the fWo and their cartoon character loving bitches."

A few boo's, and a few cheers.

"And finally fuck you."

A huge finger pointed at the screen...it pointed at you.

"Fuck all of you who doubt me, for it is you who drive me on to be the success that I've been for the whole of my career. You drove me with pride in the earlier part of my career, and now you drive me in hatred and filth, and for that, I must commend you, as it is you, who has created the filth in which you loathe, and that's what really digs into your skin when you see my face."

He switched his stance however, and paused.

"I've already reeled off the names that have stood before me in the past, and tonight there will be another one added to that list. There's a saying that you should keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer. Chris, you were a true friend at the start, but it seems that you, and these fans have turned be into an enemy, and for that, I will have to finish, what I created...and that's the end of this fairytale story of the champion that never was.

What's that other saying, oh yeah, you cannot kill what you did not create?

Your numbers are up pal, have a good life."

The fans were loud and rowdy, yet another form of pleasure from the ACW had not ceased to do its job, that being entertainment. They had gotten half their moneys worth for the night, but quickly anticipated the second half coming with an extra kick, it being the second hour of the show, it contained the Main Event. 

The last thing they could have expected was a power outage in the arena. 

“What the hell is this?” A fan looked on impatiently before his anger-fueled question was quickly answered by a soft…gentle….strong female voice.

“November 9th, 1996 had finally come.”

Fans in the arena recognized the voice and the scenery quite well, both being spread like wildfire through the past week. They both symbolized something that got nothing but excitement from the crowd, this being a returning character. Rumors had been flying around over who this person could be, but no confirmation had been….confirmed. 

“Counting, he reminisced the day where he would no longer have a brother who posed a threat against him. He longed for the day where he would have the chance to confront his flesh and blood, face to face, man to man, sibling to sibling.” 

“ He had been counting the days towards his brothers final defeat, and because he had finally felt he was strong enough to do battle with Damien with no other feeling than delight, November 9th had proven to be Judgement Day for the pushy, bossy, abusive older sibling.” 

“He paced around his old, rusty, and partially shattered estate with a nervous grin on his face. He could not believe the life that he had to go through, that he could not visit the place he called home without suffering a vicious beating or punishing another person, and of all that people his own flesh and blood.

Letting out a sigh, he made his way to the home he had not visited in over a two month span. His parents knew where he was, but they knew he did not forgive them for letting Damien have his way. It was time to make Damien pay dearly, and this was the last kind of debt anyone would like to be in. 

They liked the idea of having both sons around, they also liked the fact that both were smart, young, athletic, witty boys, and besides the first and last trait, Damien possessed all of the above. But despite the bad taste in the mouth of his parents for the fight, blood would be spilled, whether they liked it or not. 

Making many strides as well as practicing last minute fight tactics he made his way to the house. He had never felt so nervous in his life. But the butterflies soon subsided, as a For Sale sign entered his brain through the sight his eyes delivered. He ran to the door and stepped through, but only to find an empty house on the inside. 

They were gone. 

Pissed, distraught, as well as sad as any young boy could be, he fled the scene before the tears of anger and confusion could catch up with him.” 

The pause was short-lived as many began to feel for the now lonesome 15-year old. 

“Over many years, in the sense of 5, of struggling, desperation, deprivation and the sense of no home location, he learned to deal with the abandoned feeling that would never leave the back of his head, however one thing would not let itself lose its place at the top of his head.

Revenge. On the entire world, for placing him in such a disfunctional family, for giving him such a wretched life. And one way or another, he would have what he sought after. 

One way or another, he would make the world pay.” 

Silence plagued the arena, before a reoccurrence plagued the ACW-tron. 

‘4’ was there, waiting for the fans eyes to turn and watch its fiery glow, before it was torn to shreds. It was now replaced by the number ‘3’. 

Fin.

'A Deal with the Boss'
Author - Scott Perry
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


A warm fist hammered on the door of William Laguna’s office leaving a small smudge where each individual knuckle had made contact with the wood. It took a few seconds for the knock to be responded to. After a few short moments of silence Laguna’s voice bellowed from within the room.

“Come in!” Laguna exclaimed from the rear wall of the room.

The door swung open and in to the office stepped one of the referee’s for the previous match-up, Phoenix Rose. Rose, who was still donned in his officials attire, paced steadily across the room towards the seated William Laguna who got to his feet as the former EYE Gold champion swaggered towards him.

“Marcus. What can I do for you?” he asked with an oddly cheerful tone for a man who was busy trying to keep a PPV going.

Taken aback a little Marcus took a moment to open, and then close his mouth. After his false start he started, “Well see… I have this slight problem you see…”

“Yes…?” William asked hanging on to the ‘e’ a little longer than one usually would.

“See I’ve been making appearances on ACW shows for a few weeks now and well… I haven’t been getting paid for it, I think I should.”

“Really?” William asked rhetorically.

“So here is what I was thinking. Seeing as how I’ve never really had a decent opportunity to show you my real talents, I thought that maybe on Courage this coming week I should book myself in a match that would bring out my true star quality. Wadya think?”

“…Who would you face?” Laguna asked with a tilt of his head.

“Okay… Get this…” Rose’s hands were talking along with him, moving along as he said the next two words, “Geo Vacton.”

“What?” Laguna’s reaction was the same as the rest of the audiences.

“Did I say I was finished?” Rose’s reply was reminiscent of ‘Friends’ Chandler Bing. “Aaaaaaaaand… The Mammoth!”

“That’s three.”

“Okay smart ass, Marshall too.”

“Alright then, it’s set.”

“I’m not done yet.” Phoenix interjected as Laguna extended his hand to strike a deal. “And after the show ends you get to draw me up a 12 month contract, 100,000 dollars per show.”

“…We’ll talk prices after you compete, shall we?”

The two men shook hands and the deal was struck. 

Geo Vacton, Phoenix Rose, The Mammoth and Marshall,
Fatal four way.
LIVE on Courage!

The Faceless Owner Appears
Author - Zezu
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


The ACWtron lit up the static arena, and gave ACW fans all around the world their very first view of the man that owned their beloved federation, the caption at the bottom of the screen telling them exactly who they were looking at.

William Laguna - ACW Owner and Chief

"Hello."

A rapturous cheer set Laguna back a little, as the whole arena got to their feet for the man that had single handedly got ACW back to were it should be, in the hearts and minds of the viewing public.

"Ladies and gentleman, this will not become an act of habit, I guarantee you that, however I felt it was necessary to keep you in the loop for the upcoming ACW events, and to why I won't be at the head of them.

In it's previous run, ACW had been known for doing this a little different to other federations which you might go and see live or watch on your television set, and it was that spontaneity that kept ACW above everyone else IMO.

That trend is not going to change; in fact I'm going to heighten the bar."

The ACW fans were intrigued to say the least, where was he going with this?

"On the 4th of July, ACW will hold it's second pay-per-view of the year, aptly named Glory, there will be six Courage's leading up to that PPV from today, and in only one occasion will I be running the show. Instead, five superstars of my choosing will have the task of running the federation for the evening. Now these superstars will be helped by my staff, there is no question of that, but these men will have the task of making decisions, and more or less doing what they want with the temporary power in which they have been given by my hands.

What is the point in this you ask? Well...at Glory, I will be in a similar position to this, and I will be asking you, the fans, which show you believed to be of the best quality, and the winner, will get a title shot of his choice. To decide on which men will receive this challenge, I have a little tom bola here, and it has all the names of active superstars here in ACW, so I will pick out five names."

Laguna pulled out five of the blue balls and placed then down in a neat line.

"However their names come out, is the order in which they will take charge of events."

He then reeled off the names.

Chris Messiah

Phil Atken 

Lancett

Geo Vacton 

SilverHAWK

The final name of the list got the fans on their feet in hatred, as they realised what kind of havoc HAWK could create being in charge of the show again...but he'd never win anyway.

"There we have it, and with these few words I thank you ladies and gentleman, and enjoy the main event."

And with that the screen faded, the next five week's were going to be eventful, but one question remained.

Who would be the World Champion during the run up to Glory.

Only one way to find out.

ACW World Heavyweight Championship Match
NO HOLDS BARRED
SilverHAWK (c) Vs. Alias

“Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith”

The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil”.

The ACWtron faded to black once more on this grand night for ACW. There REEEVIVAL~!!*ahem* For those who had paid attention to what direction tonight’s main event had taken over the last couple of months… they might no what to expect. Don’t worry… almost nothing short of a repeat of the ACW roster riot would prepare you for what’s about to happen.

“And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate”

An image, silhouetted as it was, faded into view on the Tron. What could be made out from the black silhouetted frame was sharply spiked hair, still long enough to awkwardly jut out here and there. Of course, the easiest thing to pick out from the black silhouette was the bright orange burning ember that hung, smoldering, from the man’s cigarette. For a moment the shot was of this image, a quick drag before…

The video feed skipped forward, to the rhythm of the music, and the burning embers of the man’s cigarette had already been flicked away to hit the ground behind him. With that the entire concrete ground work on the video is lit up in an arching letter, an anarchy A, that filled up the screen. While at the same moment…

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

“Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game”

Pyros exploded on either side of the ramp, three times, simultaneously… as the man who all this was for, quickly made his entrance as he ran down the ramp and slid forward into the ring.

“The Original Pulp Hero” Alias.

The crowd was insane, the moment was electric. This was there hero.

Oh, but wait just one moment… ahem…. Ladies and Gentlemen, as “Sympathy for the Devil” segwayed into “Wake Up”…

Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never read it
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double I'm mad

Your World Champion.

There where boos… but in some pockets, more then usual, there was also cheers. Either way you looked it, if the crowd was vocal for Alias once more, they where equally as boisterous towards SilverHAWK.

Still knee-deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give ya a dose
But it can never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

SilverHAWK still walked out with that traaademark sneer, directing it entirely towards Alias as he walked down the aisle. The ACWtron playing a rotating highlight package of his illustrious career as he sauntered down the aisle, the gold World strap glistening on his shoulder. Zach just kept on breaking rhymes… and as SilverHAWK walked ever closer to that ring, there was only two men in the world.

Alias.

SilverHAWK.

One World Heavyweight Champion. Two Champions.

Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam

SilverHAWK rolled into the ring and popped up to his feet, immediately coming face to face with Alias, a smile evidently wide across his face. He dropped the golden belt off of his shoulder, and into the hands of the referee beside the two of them. What was the job of the ref tonight? Keep out of the way. Now… why would that be? Well ladies and gents, tonight’s match…

No Holds Barred.

Yeah, you better believe it. Alias decided to break the stare off.

He turned the power to the have-nots

Ding. Ding. Ding.

Let the match that would change All-Star Championship Wrestling… begin.

And then came the shot!

The two opponents circled each other like hawks, trying to analyze one another. The mannerisms, mannerisms and moves that they knew to well… these to men held a history between one another that could be trailed back almost a decade.

However long it was, they both knew that it would prove difficult to even gain a foothold in this fight because of it. Finally, Alias got sick of waiting and lashed out with a left jab. However, Hawk was quick to respond to that, and moved back, the momentum of his contender catching him off balance. Hawk grabbed Alias’s arm, and locked on a grounded hammerlock as the World title contender tried to wriggle free, and the Champion simply applied more pressure. Alias tried to escape, and reached out with his free hand, grabbing onto the bottom rope, as the referee saw this. The referee pointed it out to Hawk, who seemed slightly annoyed by the whole prospect, and lifted up the Pulp Hero. Alias, however, managed to shove Hawk away for a second, and that was all it took.

The Original Pulp Hero swung around, and connected with a discus punch into SilverHAWK's face, causing the older salt (of the two) to stumble around. Alias gripped his shoulder in pain (due to the strenuous schedule he had put himself through all to recently). However, Alias realized this was his chance, and he quickly seized on the opportunity, drop toe holding the temporarily blinded World Champion down to the mat. Alias locked on an STF submission hold, and the referee checked on Hawk to see if he was alright. Hawk bared his teeth, not willing to give in to such a submission hold, and reached out for the nearest ropes.

When he grabbed onto the bottom rope, it was just to early for a submission to have a great impact in the match, the referee notified to Alias that he had to release the hold, and the Pulp Hero complied, albeit somewhat hesitantly. Alias lifted up Hawk, but Hawk low blowed Alias, and rolled him up, quickly using the ropes.

One!

Two!

The referee saw this, and berated Hawk. The ref knew he had to let the low blow slide because of the rules of the match… but he wasn’t about to have the ropes used for a pinning predicament, in his match. Hawk got off, and simply flipped the bird at him.

Seconds later, Hawk finds himself flat on the mat courtesy of a German Suplex. Alias pumps a fist up for the crowd and then heads to the top rope and before Hawk can get to his feet, Alias hits him with a dropkick. Hawk tries valiantly to get to his feet once more, just plain stubborn sometimes… and falls into Alias’s grasp, before being taken over with an exploder suplex. Hawk staggered to his feet, and into the waiting clutches of an arm screw, yeah Alias was going all out with this shit right now. Not letting up, hoping his momentum would continue to carry itself… hopefully. Hawk slowly rolled his way to a standing base, and 3 seconds after that the crowd went nuts with applause.

Uuuuuranage suplex.

All Alias wanted now was for Hawk to just STAY DOWN… atleast for more then 5 seconds at a damn time. Alias reached for Hawk. Hawk dropped to his knees and but just couldn’t low blow Alias a second time, instead he surprised him with a sudden chop to the stomach. Alias staggered back, falling into the ropes and immediately finding himself tangled in them. The ref, ever subservient, went over to help.

Hawk went over to hurt.

Full brunt clotheline, natch! One that would make Miami proud… you know, if Hawk hadn’t been such a stuck-up dick for the past two months. And then Alias was on the floor. Hawk stayed by the ropes, and then as Alias got up, went and put it all on red.

Slingshot.

Ma-fuckin’

CROSS BODY~!

Both men lay there on the ground in pain, it seemed that Hawk had banged his knee pretty damn hard after creaming Alias. Hawk, however, was still the first on up as he picked up Alias by the hair and rolled him back into the ring. The crowd applauded, more for the crazy move then anything else. Standing on the apron, Hawk slingshotted himself back over the ropes into a legdrop across Alias. Oh yeah, it was quite evident that Hawk was pulling out as many stops as Alias… keeping his offence as unexpected as ‘expected’. Cover!

One!

Two!

Kickout! Hawk stood Alias up and chopped him across the chest, before snapmaring him to the groud. As Hawk lunged forward to cream Alias in the back with his size 12 wrestling boots, Alias pulled his head forward so he was lying full out on the canvas. Hawk’s carried him forward, stumbling out in front of Alias in an attempt to keep from pulling a Charlie Brown/Football payoff, finding steady footing Hawk turned around to double-back and continue the assault. Alias was already in a fighting stance and booted him in the stomach.

He draped the arm and snap suplexed the ‘monolithic’ figure of ACW over to the mat. Rolling his hips, he shifted his weight to the right and and drug Hawk back up to his feet before hooking the left leg for a possible Fisherman. Alias lifted Hawk up, stalled for a two seconds, then sat out; hanging him up on his left shoulder with the Muscle Buster. Hawk’s body fell limply to the open space infront of him, as the crowd with hushed “ooooo’s” in kind. Alias then leapt onto the top rope, as quick as possible, and made this won out on a wing and a prayer.

GLASGOW KISS.

Connected.

Bouncing off of the impact, Alias held his head in pain, as blood rushed to it’s surface but luckily didn’t run out thanks to Alias’s ability to keep cut free so far tonight, before he rolled on top of Hawk, hoping that the trademark swandive headbutt would be enough to keep Hawk on the canvas. He’d damn sure need some luck… but hell, just think of it as winning the lottery. ;)

One!

Two!

Three!

NO!

No.

Not this early, never this early. Alias reached over and hooked Hawk's head around the neck, leveraging his own body against his challenger's to get to a somewhat vertical base, before beginning to lift Hawk to his feet too. Alias hooked him from behind and drove him backwards with another german suplex... looking, hoping to stay on this advantage.

Seeing ACW’s Champion down, Alias picked him up by the closely cropped hair and slammed his body to the mat, dropping and hooking the leg.

One!

Two! Kickout by Hawk. Alias picked him up again and hooked his head, dropping him to the mat with a DDT. Alias backed up a few steps, watching the pinical of All-Star achievement get to his feet, before Alias slingshotted himself off the ropes, and landed a hard dropkick to the left knee, knocking Hawk to his right. Another slingshot as Hawk was getting back up, and a dropkick to the same knee put Hawk down once again, grabbing his leg in pain.

Alias, wanting the end to be near… but knowing that there was still a long battle ahead, pulled Hawk to the corner and hooked him for a super back bodydrop. BAM! Spurred on by the cheers, Alias climbed to the top rope, preparing to deliver what he assumed would be the finishing blow, or atleast a great hindrance to Hawk’s success tonight. Alias took just a moment to eye his challenger lying prone on the mat below, and the Original Pulp Hero took flight with the swandive headbutt AGAIN... a flight that hit nothing but mat, as the crowed wowed in awe.

Glasgow Kiss 2: Electric Boogaloo… meets nothing but mat, read all about it!

SilverHAWK, to his credit, had still been fighting this entire match. He held a slight weight advantage over Alias, which equaled out Alias’s height and reach advantage, but was hit hard early on and was incredibly impressed with the way that Alias has kept the pressure on, working on him from all angles, not giving him a chance to catch his breath and take control. That small second of hesitation up top, however, gave Hawk the chance he was seeking - and he was able to roll out of the way as Alias hit the mat. Now, with the Pulp Hero slowly recovering from his crash to the mat, Hawk had the chance to take a few moments to catch his breath and return to his feet.

Alias and Hawk, using their hands and the ropes, respectively, managed their way to their feet at approximately the same time – Alias’s forehead now sporting a fresh coat of his own blood, having busted it open on the uncharacteristic risky move. Damn did he ever want this. He leaned back into the ropes and used their momentum to land an elbow square in the face. Hawk took it, but fired back a fist of his own.

Alias with an elbow.

Hawk with a punch.

Neither man gave an inch.

Alias with an elbow.

Hawk with a punch. 

Then another. 

Then another… opening Alias even wider open and leaving fresh blood smears all over the fist of Hawk, as he limped towards Alias, he knee still bothering him… but still not bothering him enough to stop pushing the advantage, before HAWK used a lot of his reserves as he clotheslined Alias over the top rope, joining him in the journey...both men falling to the ground below.

The match sat at a standstill, as both men lay on the mat, broken after their fall.

The first one to move was HAWK, as he rolled onto his side and coughed up some hanging spittle, he looked around to figure out where Alias was. Finding his opponent, he yanked on the ring apron and pulled himself to his feet, gingerly. Alias wasn't still anymore however, he raised his head and watched on as HAWK had now found his bearings, Alias slid away to the side of the ring as he left a small pool of blood where his head had been sitting.

SilverHAWK pulled on Alias trousers, stopping him in his tracks, adding that a boot to the calf as Alias finally stopped moving. HAWK helped Alias up, and then accompanied him to the ring steps just a matter of two walking paces away from their current position.

Alias' head thrusted at the steel.

A jamming leg to halt the movement.

SilverHAWK looked at Alias as the former Champion jabbed him in the cheek with an elbow, and then proceeded to ram him into the steel steps...until HAWK's leg joined Alias' onto of the bumped steel surface.

Both men stood at the standstill.

What next?

SilverHAWK rammed his skull onto the top of Alias' nose, causing the challenger to stumble back  into the fan rail holding his face in shock more than pain. SilverHAWK shook his head ferociously to shake away his own cobwebs as he followed up with a boot to Alias' stomach, something that didn't go down too well with the fWo roster member as he immediately smacked HAWK back, in the face with a harsh right hand shot.

And then came the duel to manliness.

Right hand by HAWK.

Right hand by Alias.

"Whoooooo..."

Right hand by HAWK.

Right hand by Alias.

"Whoooooo..."

Right hand by HAWK.

Right hand by Alias.

"Whoooooo..."

Right hand by HAWK.

Right hand by Alias.

"Whoooooo..."

Right hand by HAWK, and Alias finally went down.

"Boooooooo..."

HAWK looked at the figures who used to support him, and gave them a single finger salute.

Way to get them on your side...

"Get up you fucking prick."

SilverHAWK grabbed Alias by the spikes, but soon let go as a hard ball of fingers impacted with his mid-drift, and then another came, and another, and then another, until HAWK had backed up so far that he was now lying against the ring apron, his spine resting against the ring's outline. Alias directed his forearm to HAWK's face, and then lifted him into the ring, to try and get this match back to some sort of order.

SilverHAWK got to his vertical base, and was pleased to see that Alias was still making his way up from the apron, HAWK waited however, for his opponent to get his bearings before the next attack. Charging, his fatigue pushed to the back of his mind, HAWK caught Alias with a running boot to the stomach that sent him stumbling backwards into the ropes. Obviously, the Tin Angel had to come back from where he came from, as Alias bounced out, SilverHAWK attempted a kick to the stomach.

Caught.

SilverHAWK spun.

SPEAR

HAWK was nearly chopped in half as Alias tossed him to the mat like a bag of shit. Alias roared to his feet and cried to the fans, they responded as the former ACW Champion climbed to the top rope and then took the dive.

Glasgow Kiss

(All royalties to KSZ)

Alias covered.

Close one...

HAWK shot the right arm up as he finally came to grips with what was going on, but before he could find any bearings he had Alias kicking at his back as the fWo starlet was already on his feet, sweat and blood dripping from his locks of hair. Alias picked HAWK up and tossed him into the corner, targeting his stomach and midsection some more with some other shots with his right boot.

Trying to use the full effect of his power burst, Alias rammed his shoulder blades into HAWK's stomach before one last push on. He whipped HAWK to the other side of the ring and then exploded out of the turnbuckle that he had just come from. HAWK, with the force to which was applied to the whip, bounced out from his short term hole, and then side stepped, leaving Alias connecting with the ring pole and then falling out of the ring.

SilverHAWK spotted his nemesis on the outside of the ring, his head was barely visible as he seemed to be on his hands and knees, but what HAWK didn't know, was that he was searching for something to give him time to recover...

HAWK jumped out of the ring and went the long way around, and then quickened his pace before he got to Alias, laying in a shot to the top of Alias' back with his right toe. 

Alias dove away to the fan railing just at the last moment, leaving SilverHAWK screeching to a halt.

"What the fuck."

Alias stood.

Armed.

sledgeHAMMER

Crowd // POP

Alias // Enraged

SilverHAWK // FUCKED

SilverHAWK backed up, as Alias was now fully on his feet, and very much in charge of the death device he now held in his hands. Alias lifted and dropped the sledgehammer into his palm a few times, really for effect more than anything else.

"No DQ HAWK, anything goes...I think this comes under anything?"

HAWK couldn't hear Alias' mocking tone, as his vision and attention was placed on the movements of the rather large bone breaking device which Alias now held in his two hands, he was watching for any sudden movements, mainly of which were going to be directed at his skull.

Alias shot forward.

And then stopped.

The fans howled as SilverHAWK was seen bolting to the other side of the ring, but then he jumped into the ring, and without Alias knowing it, he had pretty much just turned the tables. Alias however, wasn't a man to back down, he quickly made his way up to the apron, where the two men now stood at a standstill.

HAWK knew that he was fast enough to catch Alias if he tried to get in the ring.

Alias knew that he was fast enough for HAWK not to catch him as he moved into the ring.

Only one was right.

That man was the ACW Champion.

As Alias jumped in SilverHAWK dove for him, and gave him a sharp forearm smash to the face as he lowered himself to get under the top rope. The sledgehammer dropped to the outside of the ring as SilverHAWK pulled Alias into the middle of the ring and went completely ballistic.

Kick to the body

Kick to the body

Kick to the top of the back.

An elbow.

Another elbow.

Finally a knee drop to the back of Alias' head.

After taking a small breather, SilverHAWK pulled Alias up to his feet, and then pushed him in the corner, before climbing up to the second rope for an old school ego trip. He lamped Alias in the side of the head five times before the jeers and boo's got too deafening that HAWK couldn't concentrate anymore, so he took his eye off the ball.

SilverHAWK flipped off the fans, and then suddenly started to move backwards, as he looked down at a lacerated forehead, he soon got that sinking feeling, as he hit the canvas hard as Alias had taken him from the corner of the ring to the centre and then planted him with a huge spine buster.

Another cover from Alias.

Kickout.

SilverHAWK powered out, which was an impressive feat at this late stage in the match, but he was slowly running out of time to try and get this over and done with, Alias was the fitter man, there was no question of that. The 'Tin Angel' got on all fours, and then to his feet as another small disappointment of a kickout was instantly wiped from his memory.

He then composed himself, and wiped the blood away from his eyes.

He had never bled this much from such a minor injury, but he didn't have the time to think about that, but a small thought did come into his mind; lets give HAWK one of these.

Alias was out of the ring like a shot, and then back into the ring as quick as he had left it, armed, with a wrecking ball placed in between his two hands called a sledgehammer. He lifted it into the air, as SilverHAWK sat on his knees looking up at his fate, his redemption and Alias' payback.

THUD

A sledgehammer to the head?

...

...

...

Or a lowBLOW?

The later was the outcome, as Alias dropped the sledgehammer on the mat, but did so in such a freak way that as the metal pounded against the canvas, the wooden part bounced towards HAWK and smacked him in the face, such was his low position to the mat after the low blow.

A freak accident?

Or the wrestling God's warning him never to cheat again?

.

..

...

....

We'll go with the accident.

Both men were on the canvas, as the match took another small period of rest, before SilverHAWK began to make some motions to the ropes, to which he used to his benefit to pull himself up. He felt the side of his jaw, and rolled his neck to try and shake away the cobwebs from the mystery moving sledgehammer...

The sledgehammer...there is was, in all it's destructive beauty, and then the arena became a place of pure hatred as the champion held it in his hands. SilverHAWK looked down at his fallen, and then hoisted the sledgehammer into the air, and drove it down mercilessly...into the canvas.

The sledgehammer broke the canvas, as it traveled down into the rings inner workings and beyond.

Fans // Bemused.

Alias // Lucky mother-fucker.

HAWK // Crazy?

HAWK pulled the hammer back up from it's whole, and then launched it into the ring floor once again, making the whole slightly larger in size. Alias began to make moves for the outside of the ring, he didn't want any part of what was going on in the ring, whatever the hell it was, but his tracks were stopped as HAWK yanked on his right leg and pulled him into the middle of the ring.

Boot to the face.

Wasn't enough.

Hammer to the thigh.

Alias howled in pain as SilverHAWK jabbed the battering ram into his quadricep, leaving any illusions of escape clearly out of the window, and then HAWK's earlier activity began to take shape. HAWK pulled Alias' leg, and then pushed it into the gap, Alias struggled, but as he winced in pain going in, there was pretty much no hope of him getting it out without sufficient pain.

He was stuck.

HAIL SILVERHAWK, WRESTLING GENIUS!

Then he went to work.

The arena erupted in boo's as HAWK attacked Alias with kicks to the body, head and then got down, squatting over his challenger and pummeling him with right hands to the face.

The plan wasn't 100% thought out however...

As with every moment SilverHAWK took to take part his opponent, that very man was inching his way to freedom, in severe pain, but freedom none the less. As he brought his leg up, inch by inch, the wounds became less deep, as the hole was beginning to give way, but the top of Alias' leg was painted crimson, which could be seen even through his pants. Alias had his leg free, but HAWK soon caught on, he pummeled another two shots into the former champions face and then rose to his feet, jumping quickly out of the ring and pulling out another weapon.

Steel chair.

He got in the ring, but didn't get far, as Alias kicked the champion in the back, causing him to not only drop the chair, but also to the mat. Alias intercepted the metal, and as the champion rose to his feet.

TWANG

A steel chair to the side caused HAWK to stagger along the ropes, but he kept an eye on the chair swinging challenger, because he had a plan B.

Alias hoisted the chair into the air.

Kick in the stomach.

breakDOWN.

But he couldn't capitalize...as both men lay on the mat, Alias out from SilverHAWK's patented finisher, and HAWK down from Alias' swing with a steel chair.

And then he crept the arm over...

SilverHAWK.

Covered.

Alias.

 

1...

 

The fans got to their feet.

 

2...

 

Hands were raised to eyes.

 

3?

 

...

 

Nope.

 

Arse's were now back on seats.

Tiredness had crept in a long, long time ago.

Both men were past that stage.

The only thing that kept them going was each other, but adrenaline could only take you so far.

SilverHAWK got to his feet and pulled Alias to his feet, and yanked him to the other side of the ring, shoving him towards the ropes hoping to capitalize on Alias' return, but Alias ducked the oncoming clothesline, and before HAWK knew it, Alias had jumped across the other side of the ropes and was now on HAWK's back.

Sleeper hold.

Alias lifted himself off of the ground, HAWK slugging all of Alias' bodyweight around the ring, as HAWK tried to stay on his feet, a task which was becoming a lot harder with every passing second in which his brain's oxygen supply was being shortened.

HAWK seen one last chance to get Alias off of his back, and he put it into action.

He quickly paced towards the turnbuckle and then turned before impact, but it didn't go how he had intended. Alias head rattled the back of HAWK's, and like a cut down tree in the forest, HAWK, and his lumber slowly fell to the ground with a very large thump.

The crowd gasped.

Another thump.

This time Alias falling on top of HAWK, the champions bare skull meeting the harsh metal of the shrapnel of a steel chair which lay on the side of the ring. The ring was static, apart from the referee who was frantically checking on both men...and as he did, Alias rolled off, and found a quiet spot to recover.

The arena watched on as SilverHAWK lay out cold, face to the mat, lying in a very unnatural position as Alias sat up and rubbed his groggy head. The referee, made a check with Alias, but the former ACW Champion didn't seem to understand what he was trying to say.

The 'Tin Angel' got to his feet, groggy, tired, and aching. Checking his surroundings, he noticed one thing; a silent arena. The crowd didn't know what was going to happen after what seemed to be a freak accident in the middle of the ring. Alias was stalling, the fans could see it, he moved over to SilverHAWK, and jabbed him with his toe.

Nothing.

He slapped HAWK in the head, thinking he was playing possum.

Nothing.

He pulled HAWK over on his back, and looked down into HAWK's face.

Nothing.

And as he fell to his knees, and hunched over the current champion's motionless body, he placed his name in immortality, for the second time in such a short period of time.

1.

2.

3.

And that was it; over and done with.

Alias was the champion of champions.

SilverHAWK the man who had kept it warm for him while ACW was out of commission.

But this wasn't de' ja' vu', there wasn't an explosion of cheers, or streamers coming from the sealing, instead, there was a motionless crowd as SilverHAWK was still knocked out on the side of the ring, as EMTs suddenly rushed onto the scene. They past him by like was a nobody, the man who now had the gold in his hand looked on, as the man who had unwillingly passed it to him lay motionless on the canvas in front of him.

But then hope.

SilverHAWK began to sit up.

A cheer.

A smile from Alias.

He grabbed the ropes beside him, and thrust the gold into the air, the crowd were now ready to salute their new champion. All was good in ACW again, the rightful champion was in his place...and it now seemed that the Revival of ACW from it's saddened state had been completed, and now it was onto greater and bigger things.

The Revival, was just the beginning.

"HAWK! Can you hear me..."

"Yeah...where am I?"

"You're at Revival remember, you were wrestling Alias."

"Yeah..."

"You are in the ring just now, but we gotta check you out, can you get up?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I  .  .  .   I   .  .  .  I can't see."
