A C W * ACW World Champion Alias hit the ring and kicked off his victory speech, detailing what a night he had at the END GAME 2009 pay-per-view slightly less than a month prior. Alias noted that he was into his third reign as ACW's World Champion, and also made it be known to everyone in attendance that ACW was going to be touring Europe in 2010. Before he could go on with his promo, Trey Vincent hit the scene. Cue the customary insulting of the hometown. Trey Vincent glossed over his elimination by High Flyer in the End Game Match at END GAME 2009, and proclaimed that he had bigger plans, which of course involved the ACW World Title. And by extension, Alias. To much disgust, Trey Vincent talked smack about the Champion's tag team partner and friend (Karina Wolfenden), right before Keith Scott Zimmerman interjected. KSZ engaged in wacky banter for a bit with Trey Vincent, before touching on the history he had with Alias and underlined his intentions: yes, you guessed it -- the ACW World Title. By this point, Shawn Jessica Hart had decided to join the party. SJH, being the #1 Contender to the World Title by virtue of winning the End Game Match at END GAME 2009, surprised many by announcing that in the light of competition from Trey Vincent and Zimmerman... he had chosen to be on the side of Alias. Shawn explained that he was out to protect Alias, so that he could be the man that beat the Original Pulp Hero for the ACW World Title. Suffice to say, Alias had rather unkind words to say about all three pretenders to the throne, and suggested a Tag Team Match to close out the show. Alias and Hart, versus Vincent and Zimmerman. Nobody had any objections, and the stage was set. * Everyone's attention was diverted to the SlyTron, where we got to see something that happened minutes prior to the show going live; General Manager SilverHAWK and his trusty sidekick Joe Bishop talking about new beginnings. HAWK told Bishop that a representative from SlySports, who had invested heavily in ACW and bought all the television and pay-per-view rights to the company for the foreseeable future, would be around on the next show with some changes in store. * Khristain Keller was walking around backstage, looking all surly and whatnot. Pretty sure he was talking to himself. * One-half of the ACW Tag Team Champions, Frank Pierce, was in singles action against the brightest star from the All-Star Academy in John Sarsgaard. Frank Pierce looked in fine form, dismantling Sarsgaard rather quickly after effectively stifling his opponent's various attempts at comebacks during the match. Sarsgaard didn't look himself, and appeared forlorn after being beaten. It would seem that while there were no viable contenders to their Tag Team Titles, the Heirs of Wrestling were intent on branching out to singles competition and raising all sorts of hell in the process. * A masked man by the name of Z was shown finalising his contract details with SilverHAWK. Z promised the General Manager nothing but his best work, which SilverHAWK liked. After the deal was done, Z let it be known that he was actually not medically cleared to wrestle for the next few weeks. Good one. * After commercial breaks, Khristain Keller was in the ring. He talked about the End Game Match and how he finished, before stating that he was gunning for the Spirit of ACW Title despite.. Prior to calling out the Champ (Trevor Wilson) himself, Keller ran down the other people involved in the division such as Jade Argent and Chris Moliano, and emerging contender Midnight Cowboy. See, Keller and Cowboy were embroiled in a bit of controversy over who exactly deserved the earned title shot at the Spirit of ACW Title following the End Game Match. Midnight Cowboy came right out and staked his claim at being the true #1 Contender. Cowboy and Keller traded barbs for a while, before finally Trevor Wilson graced everyone with his presence. Wilson declared that Keller and Cowboy were not deserving of the opportunity to fight for the Spirit of ACW Title, and informed everyone that Chris Moliano would be getting his rematch later on in the show. Wilson also announced that he'd have a theme to his second reign as Champion, one that he would shed more light on during the next show. Needless to say, both Cowboy and Keller were displeased at being looked down upon. * 'Superstar' Vince Jacobs, having returned to ACW at the END GAME 2009 pay-per-view, went right ahead to have a chat with SilverHAWK. Imagine his surprise when he walked in on the General Manager discussing matters with Alias annnd... Jason Kain! Kain, made famous in ACW in 2003 and thereby inducted into ACW's Hall of Fame, exchanged glares with Vince Jacobs. The latter ranted and raved about his exclusion from the Hall of Fame, indignant that Kain was inducted before him. SilverHAWK tried to smooth matters over, but Vince continued his tirade, taking shots at Kain and old rival Alias whenever he could. Unhappy at HAWK's suggestion that he would only be inducted at a later time, Vince Jacobs delivered stern warnings to all three individuals before leaving. On his way out, Jacobs ran into Jesse Ramey. Considering the mood of Vince, it was no surprise that he and Jesse exchanged harsh words. Ramey actually told Jacobs that the latter didn't belong in the Hall of Fame. Well, that just made Vince even more pissed and he left promising that Ramey that he'd get himself in trouble if he didn't stop running his mouth. * Up next was a Scorpion Fighting Rules Match featuring Omega and El Hombre Sin Nombre. At this time, those watching at home unfortunately had to put up with extended commercials, as SlySports seemingly deemed that the Scorpion Fighting division was a bit too extreme for their viewers. At any rate, both men battled each other tooth and nail all over the ring and the ringside area. Just as a table was being put into the mix, the plethora of other contenders in the division (Sharc, Iceman, Rory Hayes and Kati) got involved. Even the new Champion, Landon Stevens, was unspared from the chaos that broke out; he'd been watching the match from the stage, until Kati jumped him from behind. Alas, the match was eventually ruled a No Contest. * Chris Moliano, the former Spirit of ACW Champion after being defeated at END GAME 2009, was seen conversing with his paramour who happened to be referee Paige Allen. Allen tried to advise Moliano not to compete, since he was still feeling sore following his battle with Wilson and Argent at the pay-per-view. Chris assured he'd be okay and vowed he'd return for Paige no matter what happened. * After having been involved in not-too-pleasant scenarios earlier in the evening, Vince Jacobs and Midnight Cowboy took to the ring for the third match of the evening. Both men threw everything but the kitchen sink at each other, dazzling the fans with some really good wrestling action. Midnight Cowboy especially came very close to victory with a big-time elbow drop from the top of a corner turnbuckle, but Jacobs somehow kicked out at the last possible second. A short while after, Jacobs stunned Cowboy with his Superstar Kick out of nowhere. The cover was forthcoming, but Khristain Keller ran out to beat on the already-dazed Cowboy, earning the latter the disqualification win. Needless to say, Vince Jacobs was irate but after teasing a showdown with Keller... Jacobs left the ring. Keller then found Cowboy fighting back before Keller too bailed, leaving a wounded Midnight Cowboy in the ring hungry for revenge as another set of commercials approached. * Back from commercials, the fan found the masked man known as Z (who was speaking to HAWK earlier in the evening) in the middle of the ring, speaking rather cryptically. After confusing the majority of the fans with whatever he was saying, Z pulled out a gun from within his trenchcoat. Amidst the hysteria, Z revealed it was merely a novelty lighter. Z announced he'd soon be delivering top-notch entertainment to every single fan, before promising 'the end of the heroic age'. * Trevor Wilson was seen speaking to his right-hand woman, Kati. The two spoke about Jeremy Stevenson, one of their own, deciding not to join ACW on their tour of Europe. Kati appeared to be very much in love with the idea of the initial tour of the United Kingdom, which amused Wilson. Ready for his match with Moliano, the Spirit of ACW Champion and Kati advanced to the ring, with Wilson expressing his need to find a chair. * And with that, we had ourselves a Spirit of ACW Title match-up. Chris Moliano was cashing in his rematch clause, but soon found that Trevor Wilson was making things interesting. First, he got Kati to tell referee Trent Savage to buzz off... before introducing his replacement, Paige Allen! Kati then announced that Wilson would be allowed to use the chair to do anything to Moliano and Allen during the course of the match, which would be his theme for the night. Despite Moliano gaining the early advantage, Wilson and his stipulations very swiftly took control. Trevor made sure he went on to severely injure Chris Moliano, using the chair like there was no tomorrow. Paige Allen tearfully counted Wilson to victory, with Moliano barely able to breathe at the end of it all. * Backstage, SilverHAWK was finalising contract details with another new hire who just happened to be the former owner of Legacy Of Champions: 'The Original Ego' Brandon Thomas! Thomas spoke about monkey-loving a fair bit before signing his contract, looking very happy with whatever he was getting. He was not however impressed with the existing talent on the roster. Thomas requested for a match for the next show prior to his depature. * Finally, it was time for the main event. Alias & Shawn Jessica Hart taking on Trey Vincent & Keith Scott Zimmerman. From the get-go, Alias and his #1 Contender seemed to gel rather well in contrast to Vincent & Zimmerman. The latter tandem looked completely dysfunctional, but slowly got their act together. The result was an extremely ferocious battle between both teams, with every man having the opportunity to execute their signature moves. When the match inevitably degenerated to a flat-out brawl, it was KSZ's finishing move executed on Alias that allowed Trey Vincent to hit HIS signature move for the win. Of course, Trey had to have a handful of tights during the pin, but he wouldn't ever admit it. Vincent & Zimmerman had won, but neither man appeared overly concerned with that fact. Instead, both men and even SJH himself set their sights on Alias and the ACW World Title. The show ended with the World Champion fully realising the gravity of the situation: three challengers to his throne, with each man more than capable of defeating him.
