You hear footsteps echoing down the dark hallway. Then you see a figure coming out of the shadows. The figure was the GM/Chairman, Jesse, smiling in the light.
"On April 5th, 2013, it was the night where the awesomeness began..."
"Good evening, ACW Universe!" Jesse shouted.
You see the ACW Universe cheering around the arena.
"On the debut of a company that would rise above all..."
Fireworks play around the stage and soon, Yugi and Atem come out to the stage. Then you see Young and Terra making their debut, the Erupting Eds enter, then the "new" Shield, and it fades to black...
"...soon became Hell breaking loose."
You see Yugi being attacked by Marik and Bakura. Later, you see them assaulting Atem in the hallway. Then you see the Eds getting beat down by Stan and Carter. The Shield lifts Ed up for a Aided Powerbomb and the Eds were left injured.
"Why in the world are there attacks going around everywhere?" Zack asked.
"These assaults, however, could not stop this night from becoming the greatest of all..."
"Hello, everyone. Here with me is the man that will be facing Isaac Clarke tonight. Now, Naruto, tell me. What are your thoughts of facing your good friend, Clarke?"
You see Isaac posing in the ring.
"Um, well, Mike, it was surprising to me that I have to face this guy in a one-on-one match. I'm pretty sure that Isaac was surprised too." Naruto stated, "My thoughts of facing Isaac in a match is, not only going to be a good one for me and him, but as well for the ACW Universe too."
"And do you have a feeling you will win the bout?"
"Mike, between me and Clarke, it's not about winning or losing. It's about going out there and entertaining the Awesome People out there. I wish him the best of luck. And I'm pretty sure Isaac does the same for me."
Naruto comes out to the stage with charisma. His entrance is similar to John Cena. Then, Isaac stands on the stage in a Chris Jericho position and turns around to see the fans cheering for him. Naruto and Isaac walk in the center and shake hands out of respect.
After that, Naruto and Clarke walk around the ring to stay steady of each other. Then, they go into a tie-up. Holding it for awhile, Isaac changes it to an Arm Wrench, causing pain on Naruto's arm. But the blonde quickly rolls forward, Kips-up, twists Isaac's arm and holds it behind his back. Then Isaac reverses it to a Side Headlock, Naruto pushes Isaac to the ropes and hits him with a Hip Toss. Isaac stands up fast, Naruto goes for a Clothesline, but misses, Isaac runs to the ropes, bounces off and hits Naruto with a Shoulder Block. Clarke runs back to the ropes, Naruto turns to his abdomen, then Clarke jumps over, runs to the other ropes, Naruto stands up to counter, Clarke hits the ropes but stops. Both superstars are in stance and the fans react by applauding from the performance.
"So far, so good." Zack said.
You see both men hitting various moves to each other along the way. Including the Suicide Dive, Suplexes, Isaac flying to Naruto with the Crossbody, Naruto hitting the Diving Bulldog Leg Drop, the constant punches, and then you see Isaac pulling off the Dementia. Isaac pants as he believes this is finally over. He rolls Naruto over and covers him.
1... 2...
Naruto kicks out! Isaac holds his head in shock and the audience could not believe it either. Clarke shook his head in disbelief. Later, Isaac tries to punch, but misses, and Naruto lifts him up in a Fireman's Carry position.
"The Ninja's Way!" Kenji shouted.
Naruto smirks and his Isaac with the Ninja's Way! Naruto pins...
1... 2...
Isaac kicks out at 2.9! These two weren't really giving each other a chance of winning! Naruto has the same expression Isaac had when he kicked out. Naruto runs his hands through his hair in desperation of beating him. He stands up from kneeling and goes to Isaac. When he got closer, Isaac quickly grabs Naruto's legs and head and rolls him over in a Small Package The official counts...
1...
2...
3!
"A shocking win to end an awesome night..."
Both of them gave their best shot of winning and look who came out the victor. Isaac stands up and offers Naruto his hand to stand up. Naruto accepts it. Clarke and Naruto shook hands and hugged in respect. Clarke raises Naruto's arm up to show he did his best. But this celebration wasn't going to last.
"...along with Hell hanging on their tail."
*Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. SHIELD.*
"What the hell is going on?! Why are all of these men coming out to ruin everything?!" Zack asked.
"I don't know, but it's really starting to piss me off!" Kenji answered, angry.
The Heels are already surrounding the ring, trapping both Naruto and Isaac. All of them enter the ring to start chaos again.
"Hell is there to ruin all, but Miracles are always there to save all..."
"Yu-Gi-Oh!" Yugi's and Atem's voice is heard.
The attackers turn around to the stage to see the injured men earlier running towards the ring, and they're with back-up. As the Heels readied themselves, Naruto and Isaac quickly go to Terra and Hector and attack them. The Faces and Heels then start going at each other in a all-out brawl. Good vs. Evil.
"My God! All hell is broken lose! Everything's gone to hell!" Zack shouted.
"It's a f%king brawl out here! A f%king brawl, I tell you!" Kenji shouted.
The Heels escape the ring and retreat to the stage. The Faces stand in the ring as their enemies stand at the stage with anger. The men in the ring stand and yells at the Heels...
April 12th, Week 2
TV-14
Now get the guns, the drugs
You see a full moon in the night sky, then you see chains flinging around. Then you see Atem behind the chains.
For my generation, I'll take the...
Then you see Naruto smirking as the lights flicker. Then you see lights streaking throughout a city then into an arena.
Come on, come on, come on
You see Ed roaring with a passion, then Edd hitting a Front Dropkick, and Eddy hitting the DX Chop.
Let's get it on
As the music plays and the lyrics repeat, you see almost every wrestler in pain, various wrestlers hitting different moves, and various superstars behind the flinging chains and flickering lights. Then you see the Shield hit the Aided Powerbomb to Ed.
The lies, the money
You see Terra hitting the Spear on Atem, then you see Isaac scream as he holds the Boston Crab.
We're in this together and through it all
You see Naruto saluting to the fans at the stage, then hitting the Ninja's Way on Clarke.
They said that nothing's forever
You see Yugi beaten up, Atem angry and punching the wall, then you see Marik and Bakura smirking evilly behind the flinging chains.
And they refuse to see the change in me
You see Isaac hitting the Dementia on Naruto, then the fans cheering in excitement. You see the Eds hitting the Edquake, then you see the all-out brawl.
Why won't they wake up?!
You see Naruto in the ring as he punches the camera and the glass lens breaks. Then it shows the logo of ACW: Awesome Championship Wrestling.
*Across the Nation by The Union Underground*
The opening theme plays as fireworks go off at the stage. The ACW Universes cheers inside the arena as the cameras looks all around.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Awesome Championship Wrestling, live in the Awesome Dome! I'm Kenji Matsuo along with my brother, Zack Carver! And— in the words of the great Jim Ross— what a slobberknocker from last week!" Kenji said.
"You got that right, brother! Three incredible matches and it all ended in one awesome night! I'm really glad to say that we finally got our theme song for ACW." Zack said.
"The song you guys are hearing is WWE RAW's theme song from 2002 to 2006: Across the Nation by The Union Underground. And I gotta say, it is perfect for us."
"But getting back to business, what in the world was going on with all of the attacks last week?"
"That's what I want to know too. I hope we find out soon enough. Also, the championship belts are going to be announced later on tonight by our very own general manager. I can't wait to see what they look like."
"Or even better, I can't wait to see who competes for the titles!"
"Nine titles will be on the line once we see them."
"Now let's get this show on the—" Zack was interrupted by a song playing on the titantron, "Huh? Who the hell...?"
"What's going on?"
*Riot by Three Days Grace*
Entering the stage is the same two people that started all of the chaos last week. Marik and Bakura. The audience boos heavily at them.
"Aw, no!" Zack groaned.
"What the hell do they want now?" Kenji asked.
Marik and Bakura walk down the ramps, one of the fans hits Bakura on the arm and he looks straight at them with anger. He scares them, they flinch and he walks away. Bakura slides in the ring as Marik was getting mics for the both of them. He passes one to Bakura and the music starts to fade.
"This is not going to end well." Zack stated.
Bakura is the first to speak, "As of from last week, all of you people were wondering why your heroes were being assaulted. Here's the reason why: Your idiotic general manager/chairman only hired the ones he can trust to start this company while Marik and I only were in the 'temporary spot.' But what that really means is that we're not going to have our contracts at any time."
The audience cheers that Bakura and Marik weren't part of the roster. It only made him more angry.
"Silence! I am speaking, you fools!" Bakura shouted as the fans booed, "Now as I was saying, we decided to teach him a little lesson by taking out two of his best superstars."
"All of you people thought we were after Yugi and Atem for their careers. But we have plenty of time to do that. Our real plan we were trying to break Jesse down until he brings us what we want." Marik smirked.
"While it is true that Yugi and Atem are our greatest enemies, our other targets were also the Erupting Eds, Isaac Clarke, and Naruto Uzumaki. But unfortunately, most of the plans went to waste when the ones that were assaulted fought back at us last week."
"Even though the plan wasn't complete, we managed to take out one of the members of Altered Egos."
"Yes. That's right. Atem's now lying in that hospital bed with a concussion as he can watch us take down his younger twin. But it's not just us who wanted Yugi and Atem to be taken down. Another enemy of theirs is also our ally."
The audience is confused by what Marik meant by that statement. They wait for the 'ally' of both men to come out.
*Cult of Personality by Living Colour*
Entering the stage was the real mastermind of all the chaos... Seto Kaiba.
"Seto Kaiba!" Kenji and Zack shouted.
"Now it all makes sense!" Zack said.
"That son of a bitch. I'm not surprised that he's the one behind all of this." Kenji said.
Kaiba enters the ring and stands in the middle of the ring between Marik and Bakura. Marik passes his mic to Seto and he speaks.
"How are the 'Awesome People' tonight?" Kaiba mocked.
*Crowd boos*
"Yes, I do admit. The entire chaos was all caused by me last week of your very first episode. For one thing, you two failed your own plan, but Atem is out of the picture now. So I guess that's all that matters. Personally, I have nothing against Jesse, but considering that Marik and Bakura wanted my help of taking Yugi and Atem down, I couldn't resist. You know what? I think this does sound personal to you people, huh?"
*Crowd boos heavily*
"I'm not sure how long I can handle listening to this jerk." Zack said.
"Same here." Kenji agreed.
"And I do believe that it is worth paying the Shield, Terra, and Carter for annihilating the competition." he turns the the camera, "Atem, I hope you're watching this. Because your little friend, Yugi, is next for being your hospital bed buddy." he turns back to the audience, "Well, this is the second week of your show. I hope you enjoy the rest..."
With that, Kaiba, Marik, and Bakura went to leave the ring as the audience jeers at them. Until...
*We're building it up!*
*Burn it Down by Linkin Park*
The GM enters the stage with a serious and angry look on his face. The group stands back down to the ring as Jesse walks down the ramps and speaks on his mic.
"Hold on a second there, Kaiba. Did you really think I was that stupid to let that go away? Just let it disappear?" Jesse questioned as he walked up the steps and enters the ring, "To be honest, I knew these two assholes would try to interfere the matches from last week all because they didn't get their contracts."
"You knew you would face the consequences when you didn't hire us!" Bakura interfered.
"Hey, Bird-s%t. Let Mom and Dad talk for little bit. Will ya?" Jesse said, receiving laughs from the audience.
"Oh, man! That was funny!" Zack laughed.
"That outta shut him up." Kenji stated.
Kaiba speaks next, "You really think you're the comedian around here, Jesse? Well, you're not. Like Bakura said, you would face the consequences when you didn't hire them. And you payed the price."
"I know what I did, Kaiba. And you know what? It looks like I got no choice. So, I'm only doing this just so you two can shut the hell up. Bakura. Marik. I'll give you what you bastards wanted since the beginning of December. You two are now officially part of the ACW roster."
Bakura and Marik smirk to Jesse's statement as the audience boos in disappointment.
"Good to see you've made the right decision, Jesse." Kaiba said.
"I wasn't done there, Kaiba... Bakura. Marik. You two may have finally got what you wanted, but that doesn't mean that you're getting off Scot-free. No. Oh, no. We're just getting started. In our main event, I had an idea to have a rematch from your interference against Yugi and Atem. So guess what? Tonight on our main event, it will be you two teaming up with Alpha and Omega against Yugi Mutou and three random superstars of his choice in a Eight-Man Tag Team Match!" Jesse receives cheers from the fans, "Good luck, assholes."
With that, Jesse's goes to leave, but stops.
"Oh, yeah. One more thing..."
Jesse then hits Kaiba with the mic!
"Holy crap!" Kenji and Zack shouted.
The audience is surprised with cheers. Marik and Bakura backed away as Kaiba lied on the mat holding his head in pain. Jesse stands over Kaiba with the mic and says...
"That's for interfering my matches last week. And guess what? It's personal now... bitch!"
With that, Jesse drops the mic and leaves the ring as his music plays. He high-fives the fans along the ramps as Marik aided Kaiba and Bakura runs his hair in frustration from the match he and his partner has soon.
"Man, this second week is about to kick ass." Zack stated.
"You got that right, bro. On our way, we have many debuts of awesome Superstars and Divas! I can't wait to see these people." Kenji said.
"Me neither. We'll back after commercial break. Find out who are the new competitors here tonight. Next, on ACW!"
(Commercial Break)
The cameras return to backstage and shows Kaiba angry, holding his head in pain. Behind him were Marik and Bakura, also angry. They're walking down the parking lot outside of the arena.
"I can't believe that son of bitch hit me with a microphone." Kaiba said.
"You think that's bad? We have a match against Yugi along with three more of his mysterious partners." Marik said, "Who knows who the hell they can be?"
"Marik, it's obvious Yugi's not going to find a partner in time for our match." Bakura stated.
"Still, don't underestimate Yugi. There's no telling what he can do. And there's also no telling what that bastard, Jesse, has planned for us in the future." Kaiba enters his limo.
"Yes, but there's no telling for Jesse of what we can do to him."
Kaiba nods in agreement. His window slides up and the limo drives off, leaving Bakura and Marik at the parking lot.
"How long do you think our alliance can hold with Seto Kaiba?" Marik asked.
"Trust me, Marik. When Yugi and Atem are involved in our plans, Kaiba is always been wanting to take them down. Just like we are." Bakura answered with a grin.
The cameras return to the arena as the ring announcer, Maria Lopez, stands in the ring. But this wasn't a match announcement though as something played different.
*Shout at the Devil by Mötley Crüe*
When the song played, no one knows who's theme is that. Then, entering the stage is none other then... Dante. The fans were surprised and cheers at Dante's appearance.
"Hey, it's Dante! What's that guy doing here?" Zack asked.
"Probably announcing something important." Kenji suggested.
On the way to the ring, Dante high-fives the fans. He slides into the ring and leaps on the second rope. He makes his hands like guns and shoots. Dante stands down and asks Maria for the mic. She passes it to him and she leaves the ring. The fans chants his name.
Crowd: Dante! Dante! Dante! Dante! Dante! Dante!
Dante smirks and speaks, "Man, you guys do not know how excited I am to be a part of the ACW roster." Dante receives a rooting reaction from the fans, "Honestly, guys. When Jesse offered me a contract, I couldn't resist. After working a long time with the series and the new guy now working for them, I have another chance to show what I got. So in short terms, I look forward in the future to be working with ACW. I guess that's all I have to—"
Then he was interrupted by the sounds of a cash register played at the stage.
*I Come from Money by S-Preme*
Dante turns to the stage to see a young man with a woman accompanying him.
"Who's this guy?" Kenji asked.
"Obviously one of those rich jerks with the ladies." Zack said.
The young man helps the woman walk up the steps then open the ropes for her to enter.
"At least he's a gentleman." Kenji stated.
"I'm still not buying it." Zack said, receiving chuckles from his brother, "What's so funny?"
"Nothing. Nothing."
The gentleman stands in the ring as the woman asks the ring announcer for a microphone. Maria passes one to her and she gives it the suit as his music fades. He holds the mic and speaks.
"If I can have your attention, please." the audience wasn't sure of him, but decide to pay attention anyway, "Thank you. If you're wondering who I am, I'll tell you in a moment. But first, I announce that, like Dante, I too am a part of the ACW roster. And I also look forward to be working with the other superstars in the locker room."
Dante interrupts, "Um, if I can interrupt— who are you?"
The groomed man turns to Dante, "Hmph. Such rude manners from the likes of you, Dante. Then again, I'm not surprised by that, considering that I'm surrounded by many and are mainly poor, but somehow were able to afford to come here."
*Crowd Boos*
"I knew that guy was a rich jerk." Zack stated.
"Since you poor fools wonder who I am and are impatient, I shall tell you. My name is Kurt Hudson..." Kurt turns to the woman, "...and with me is the beautiful Alyssa Parker. And we are the richest people in this company and we will be the most powerful Mixed Tag Team in the entire roster."
The audience boos heavily at the newcomers. But Dante wasn't going to stand for that. So he decides to do what he always done to his past enemies: Mock.
"Okay, let me see if I got this right. You— it's Kurt, right?" Hudson nods in response, "You are— you say— the richest man in this company. If you are, how is it you were able to afford a hooker like that?" Dante pointed at Alyssa.
The audience, Zack, and Kenji respond with laughs as Alyssa was angry and furious. Hudson did not like that at all.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Kurt yelled, "You will not speak to my girlfriend like that!"
"Oh! Oh, I'm sorry! This is your girlfriend? I thought this one was your daily prostitute." Dante received more laughs from the crowd, "I only said that because I'm surprised that you were able to buy yourself one hooker, but not, like, five or six hookers of your own. You could have been a pimp on your own, man."
"You shut your damn mouth, you son of a bitch!"
Dante has his hands away, "All right, all right. It's cool. I won't bother your chick. It's obvious she's not your hooker."
Kurt calms down, "Thank you."
"So where's your male hooker?"
The audience laughs even more louder. Kenji and Zack could not handle the joke from Dante.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Oh, God! I... I can't take it! My ribs are hurting!" Zack laughed before he fell off his chair.
"Oh, man! Did he really pissed off Kurt!" Kenji laughed.
"You know what? I think I've did enough damage tonight. So, I'll take my leave. See ya later, Hudson." Dante was about to leave the ring, but Kurt stops him.
"Hold on a second, Dante! You can't just disrespect me and Alyssa, and get away with this. I deserve an apology right now!" Kurt stated.
Dante didn't look phased by him, "Heh. Okay, Kurt. I'll give you your apology."
Kurt nods and turns to Alyssa as Dante looks to the crowd and prepares the mic. Kurt turns around and Dante hits him in the head with it! Dante walks around him, and goes over him.
"There's your apology, Kurt. Have fun with your male prostitutes."
With that, Dante drops the mic and leaves the ring as his theme plays too. Alyssa checks on Kurt as he holds his head in pain.
"At least Kaiba's not the only one with a headache." Kenji joked.
"Got that right, brother. Ha!" Zack chuckled.
"I guess we'll have to head to our first match in just about—"
*In the Black by Motörhead*
"What the heck?"
As the music plays, the audience was confused and curious who was coming to the ring. Then they hear motorcycle noises coming around the arena. Coming near the stage is a blonde haired bearded man with aviator sunglasses riding on a motorcycle. Almost half of the people in the arena know who he is as they cheer loudly.
"Who's that guy?" Kenji asked.
"Oh, my God! It can't be! That's Rogen Townsend from UWE!" Zack exclaimed.
"What?! Ro-Rogen Townsend?! From UWE?! What's he doing here?!"
"Wait... Kenji, you don't think...?"
"Bro, I do not know. I just do not know."
The man named "Rogen Townsend" starts his bike again and rides his way down to the ring. Kurt could not believe this at all. No one can. After three laps around the ring, Rogen stops and parks his motorcycle. He stands up and is at the height of seven feet tall. He uses the ropes to stand on the apron and walks over the ropes like how Kane does. Kurt stands up and has Alyssa hide behind him. Rogen just stands in the ring with no expression on his face. The music fades and Kurt looks like he's going to run away from Rogen. But that wasn't going to happen when the GM showed up on the TitanTron.
"Hey, Kurt. Kurt!" Jesse called, "How's it going, man? I see you're in bit of a... 'gigantic' situation. Honestly, when you signed your contract to me last week, you said you would take on anyone in the entire roster. Anyone. This is nothing personal, man. And I know what you're thinking. 'When did this huge guy become part of the roster?' Um, simple answer. Yesterday." the fans laughed, "And... my good friend from UWE allowed permission for him to join. So... yeah. Have fun."
The TitanTron turns off and Kurt could not believe it as he was angry. Kurt had no choice now; he had to fight. He tells Alyssa to leave the ring and she does so. Kurt takes off his suit and leaves himself shirtless. The official shows up and says to ring the bell. Afterwards, Hudson walks towards Rogen and looks towards his face. Rogen takes off his sunglasses and passes them to the ref. Soon, Hudson starts talking smack to him then slaps him right across the face. Townsend was somehow not affected by it as he still has that non-expression look on his face.
Hudson mouths, "Okay."
Then Hudson runs backwards to the ropes for an attack, but when he returned, Rogen grabs him by the throat! Rogen then lifts up Kurt high in the air and throws him down with a hard one-handed Chokeslam! The fans and commentators winced to that.
"Oh, damn!" Kenji and Zack winced.
But he wasn't done from there. Rogen walks back a bit as Kurt struggles to stand up. After a few stumbles, Kurt stands up, Rogen runs and hits him with a brutal Clothesline from Hell (World Coming Down).
"Holy s%t!" Kenji and Zack shouted.
As Kurt lied unconscious, Rogen turns him over with his foot and places it on him to pin.
1, 2, 3!
*Bell rings*
*Here is your winner, Rogen Townsend!*
Rogen stands over Kurt with no emotion as he won his first match. He looks to the official and raises his hand out for his sunglasses. The ref passes it to him and Rogen puts his glasses back on. Townsend leaves the ring by going over the ropes backwards like the Undertaker.
"Jesus, I never thought I'd see the World Coming Down by Rogen with my own eyes." Kenji stated.
"I thought you did see it." Zack said.
"I meant seeing it personal, Zack."
"But you weren't in the ring with him."
"Shut up."
"Sorry. Anyways, we still got more debuts coming up next."
"And not only that, we have the championship titles announced tonight! Don't miss it!
"Along with main event of Yugi Mutou and three people of his choice vs. Terra, Carter, Marik, and Bakura, right here, on ACW."
(Commercial Break)
The cameras return and shows Hudson holding his head in pain walking down the backstage with Alyssa. Mike finds Hudson and calls him.
"Kurt! Kurt! Kurt, listen. You had just had your first match with UWE's own Rogen Townsend. How do you feel right now of your debut?" Mike asked.
"How do I feel...? How do I feel?! I'll tell you how I feel, Michael." Kurt replied, angrily, "I feel humiliated! Mortified! Embarrassed! My pride and dignity was gone when Rogen strike me with a Chokeslam and a Clothesline. Jesse said it was nothing personal, but to me, it is. I'll make that bastard pay for what he did to me. I'll make sure that his company burns to hell. And it's not just him... I'll make sure Dante pays for also humiliating me and Alyssa." he turns to the camera, "Dante. Jesse. If you're listening to this, I'll make sure both your lives are a living hell...! I will make you both my personal slaves!"
With that, Kurt and Alyssa leave. The cameras change to the locker room and shows Yugi Mutou hitting his punching bag.
"Looks like someone's getting better already." said a voice from behind.
Yugi stops and looks back to see his friend Joey behind him.
"Hey, Joey!" Yugi greeted.
"Hey, Yug. I see you're not that much injured anymore." Joey implied.
"Yeah. Those guys didn't really do much to me. I mean, sure, a combo and a DDT will do, but it's not going to keep me down."
"Glad to hear that."
"Hey, how's Atem?"
"I'm not sure. I haven't heard anything about his updates since he was sent to the hospital last week."
"God... What am I going to do?"
"Not sure. I would like to help, man, but I have a lot of crap going on my shoulders."
"Well, thanks anyway."
With that, Joey leaves the locker room and Yugi runs his hand through his hair. Then he strikes the punching bag hard from anger and leaves an imprint of his fist on there. The cameras change to the arena as another match comes next.
*Bell rings*
*The following Ten-Person Mixed Tag Team contest is scheduled for one fall!*
On the TitanTron, a woman's scream is played loudly before...
*Hey, kid!*
*Welcome to the Family by Avenged Sevenfold*
Entering the stage are Takashi, Kohta, Saeko, Rei, Saya, and Shizuka. Most of them show charisma as they walk down the ramps.
*Introducing first— Accompanied by Shizuka Marikawa: From Tokonosu, Japan; the team of Takashi Komuro, Kohta Hirano, Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, and Saya Takagi, Highschool of the Dead!*
"H.O.T.D. debuting here at ACW for the first time. Then again, it's their first time here at the wrestling business!" Zack stated.
"No kidding. I believe we're the first company to have the guys from H.O.T.D. here." Kenji stated, "Who knows what else could there be?"
All six members of the team stand at the ring as their music fades. They all wait for their debuting opponents to come.
*Hear Me Now by Hollywood Undead*
At the stage, enters five new people. Half of the audience cheers to the tag team as they already knew them.
*And their opponents: the team of Mason Stone, Marcus King, Sara Verser, Jessica Montoya, and Carla Ramirez, The Hardcore Foundation!*
"No way! The Hardcore Foundation is here at ACW! What another surprise." Zack stated.
"Looks like it's the same thing with Rogen earlier. We really got to thank them for giving us their best superstars." Kenji said.
"Ah, best Mutants, Kenji."
"That's name of the fans, Zack."
"I thought it was the wrestlers' name."
"Does it freaking matter?!"
"Don't yell at me, man."
All five members of the Hardcore Foundation stand in the ring from their opponents. The music fades away as the ref orders most of the competitors to stay outside of the apron. Shizuka stands outside the ring apron to support the team. The only two left were Takashi and Mason. The official orders the bell to ring.
*Bell rings*
Quickly, Mason and Takashi go into a tie-up. Then Mason turns it to a Front Headlock, but Takashi turns around to a Arm Wrench. Takashi leaps and hits Mason's arm with a Double Knee Armbreaker. Komuro grabs his arm again and stomps it. He grabs it again, and this time, goes for an Cross Armbar. But Mason quickly turns him around, twist his arm back, and lifts up Takashi in a Powerbomb position. He throws him down, but Takashi reverses it to a Hurracanrana Pin.
1, 2...
Mason kicks out at two. He stands and Takashi strikes him with a Knife Edge Chop, Mason hits back with a chop and strikes him in the face. Then he grabs his head and knees him in the gut. Komuro stands on one knee, Stone runs to the ropes and hits him a Big Boot. Now he covers.
1, 2...
Takashi kicks out. Mason drags him to his corner and tags in Marcus. Both partners pick Takashi up and hit him with a Double Suplex.
"Damn. Momentum's keep switching around here." Kenji stated.
As Komuro lies in pain, Marcus sits him up and holds him with the Surfboard Stretch. Takashi can feel the pain in his shoulder blades as Marcus' knee is between them. He screams to get out of the move but can't. The referee asks Takashi if he wants to give up. He shook his head in response. King keeps holding the stretch tight. His team cheers for him as Shizuka did too. Takashi hears his team's cheers and had to think of something. Takashi then hits his head to Marcus. He does it again and again until Marcus released the hold. Takashi is free of the hold. He kicks King in the abdomen and goes for a Snap Suplex. Takashi stands up and hits a leg drop to Marcus' head.
"And it looks like Takashi taking control." Zack commented.
Komuro grabs Marcus by the head, but King counters with a hard Clothesline. Marcus lifts Takashi up, hooks his arms up, lifts him up for a Tigerbomb, but Takashi counters with a Hurracanrana! Marcus uses the ropes to stand up, then he runs to Clothesline, but receives a Front Dropkick from Takashi. Takashi picks King up and tags in Kohta. Both partners Irish Whip him to the ropes, and when Marcus came back, Takashi and Kohta throws him with a Japanese Arm Drag.
"Nice tag team work by the two!" Kenji commented.
Takashi leaves the ring as Kohta Elbow Drops on Marcus. Kohta sits up Marcus and hits him with his sharp knee to the spine. Kohta sits him up again and holds in the Chin Lock. Kohta thought this was going to hold, but Marcus was actually strong enough to break the lock. He stands up, crosses Kohta's arms around him and hits him a Cross-armed Rear Mat Slam. Shizuka covered her eyes from the move.
"Ooh! That did not work out so well for Hirano." Zack commented.
"You got that right." Kenji agreed.
Marcus stands up and raises his right fist in the air as the fans give a mixed reaction. Marcus grabs Hirano by the hair and lifts him up for a Suplex, but stands still. Kohta is struggling to get out of the Suplex. King then starts to fall back, but somehow, Hirano reverses it to a Falling DDT! His team and fans applaud to his reverse. Shizuka bounces and claps happily as Kohta went to his corner and tags in Takashi. When Marcus stood up, Takashi runs towards him, jumps for a Lou Thez Press and goes for multiple punches before getting off. Komuro runs towards the ropes and bounces off for a Springboard Clothesline.
"And now H.O.T.D. is in control!" Zack commented.
Marcus stands and receives a Spinning Heel Kick from Komuro. He covers...
1, 2...
King kicks out at two and a half. Takashi then takes King's head and puts his legs around in the Headscissors Lock. Komuro keeps holding onto Marcus' head with his legs to choke him out. Marcus' team are cheering for him to get out of the submission. As Komuro keeps hanging on the lock, he hits Marcus' head with his elbow. Marcus wasn't going to take the hits anymore as he started to turn around on his abdomen and stand on his knees. With amazing strength, Marcus stands stands on one knee and starts to lift up Takashi in the air.
"Oh, no!" Kenji said.
"Takashi's in a bad place right now." Zack stated.
King finally stands up on his feet and has Komuro in a Electric Chair position. Marcus walks his corner and tags in Jessica. She climbs the top turnbuckle, stands up and goes for a Flying Crossbody. Both Marcus and Jessica hit the Doomsday Diving Crossbody on Takashi. Jessica stands up and Marcus rolls out of the ring. Montoya waits for Takashi to stand up. He stumbles as he stood up and the official orders him to tag in on his female partners. He walks to his corner and tags in Saeko.
"Now the Divas come in! Can't wait to see what happens." Zack said.
Saeko goes into a tie-up with Jessica and this holds on for a few minutes. Busujima changes it to a Side Headlock. Saeko holds onto Jessica's head and hits it with her knee. Saeko then throws Jessica at the empty corner and hits her with many Shoulder Thrusts before jumping backwards and running for a Clothesline, then turns it into a Running Bulldog. Saeko turns Jessica to cover...
1...
Jessica kicks out at one. Saeko picks Jessica up in a Front Headlock. She drags her to the corner and climbs up. She's looking for a move to finisher her off. Once at the second ropes, Saeko jumps off for a Tornado DDT, but Jessica is released by pushing her opponent away. Saeko stands, tries to strike Jessica but misses, Jessica runs towards the ropes and hits Saeko with a Jumping Kick. Saeko stands up again, but Jessica throws her with a Hip Toss. Then Montoya runs to the ropes, bounces back, and hits a Running Senton.
"Impressive! I love this match so far." Kenji said as Jessica covered.
"Same here. Can Saeko make a comeback for her team? Find out when we return live on ACW!" Zack announced as Saeko kicked out quickly.
(Commercial Break)
"Hello, we're back live on ACW and— oh, crap!" Zack shouted as Rei jumped over the ropes for a Senton to Jessica.
"Jesus! That was scary." Kenji said.
Rei stands up, picks Jessica by the hair and drags her back inside the ring.
"Well, during the break, we had a lot awesome moments happen. Let's take a look at it."
DURING COMMERCIAL BREAK:
Saeko holds Jessica in a Suplex position, but Jessica is set back down, and turns it to a Swing Neckbreaker.
BACK LIVE IN THE RING:
Rei now has Jessica in a Armbar, stretching it and twisting the limb to hold the pain. Jessica yells in agony as Rei holds the arm. Jessica even tries to crawl to the ropes to get a rope break. Her hand was just inches away from it, but Rei made it worse as she turns it around to a Cross Armbar. Jessica looked like she wanted to tap out, but she knows she was inches away from her destination.
"Oh, boy. I'm not sure if Jessica can make it through this."
Her fingertips hit the ropes, but it wasn't enough. She uses elbow to push enough force to reach and grab the ropes. The ref orders Rei to let go. The teen breaks loose of Montoya as she tenders her arm.
"Man, that was scary. I thought she was gonna tap out." Kenji stated.
Jessica then rolls out of the ring to help ease her arm. Rei wanted to follow her, but the official wouldn't allow it. She then decides to tag in Saya. Luckily, the ref noticed the tag. The referee tells Jessica to get back in the ring. He had no choice but to count to ten. Now as the ref was counting, Takagi walks back a bit then she runs pasts the ref, jumps through the ropes, and hits a Suicide Dive! The fans reacted with shock.
"Holy s%t!" Kenji and Zack shouted.
"That was right near our fricking table!" Kenji proclaimed.
Saya stumbles to stand up as Jessica lied on the floor, hurt from the dive. Takagi picks up Jessica and gets her back inside the ring. Saya slides in the ring as Jessica starts to stand up. Saya goes to an attack, but she receives a Superkick from out of nowhere!
"Damn!" Kenji and Zack shouted.
Crowd: Oh!
Now both Divas are down on the mat. No one saw the kick coming. Both teams were desperate for a tag as they were calling for a Hot Tag. Now both Divas started crawling to their corners in order to get of there. Both teams have their hands out to tag. Jessica reaches her corner to tag in Mason as Saya tags in Takashi and both men rush inside the ring. Mason throws the first punch, but Takashi dodges, bounces off the ropes and hits a Springboard Body Splash. Mason stands on his feet, he tries to hit Takashi with a Clothesline, but Takashi captures the arm and does a Arm Trap Neckbreaker.
"Now Takashi's in control!" Zack announced.
Takashi stands near his opponent and stands ready. Mason then starts to stand up, but Takashi runs back to the ropes, hits Mason's head with his knee and hits the Pulse Check (Reality Check).
"Ouch! Nice Neckbreaker by Takashi." Kenji commented.
Now, Takashi waits for his opponent to stand up for his ultimate finisher. He starts to clap for his finisher as the fans knew how this goes. Soon, Takashi stops as he raises his hands at the air and Mason stands up. Stone turns around, receives a kick in the gut, Takashi turns him around by the arms, and hits the Deadswitch (Killswitch).
"The Deadswitch connects!" Zack said.
"Can he make the pin?" Kenji questioned.
Takashi covers...
1... 2...
The count was interrupted when King ran into the ring and stopped the pinfall. Kohta then ran into the ring and gets King out of there. Shizuka moved away when both men fell to the floor. Then all of the Divas got inside the ring in a all-out brawl.
"Oh, crap! This tag team match turned into a Diva Brawl! I like it." Zack commented.
"Oh, you're not the only one, Zack." Kenji replied.
Soon, the Diva members of the Hardcore Foundation were out on the floor while the H.O.T.D. Diva members stand in the ring. Rei, Saya, and Saeko nod to each other, grab the ropes and jump over for an all-out Slingshot Body Splash on their opponents!
"Ah! It's raining Divas! A dream come true!" Zack shouted.
"Yeah, except they're not in bikinis." Kenji chuckled.
"Shut up."
Takashi looks to his team as Mason was waiting for him. Takashi turns around and Mason hits him with Breaking The Light (Codebreaker)!
"Breaking the Light! Breaking the Light! He connects it!" Kenji shouted.
Mason covers Takashi, but the ref was distracted with keeping order in the match.
"Uh, ref? There's a pin over there!" Zack implied.
The official looks back and sees Mason covering Takashi. He counts...
1... 2...
Takashi kicks out at two and a half! Mason could not believe it; not even the fans and the color commentators.
"No way! I have never seen anyone kick out of Mason's finisher with my own eyes." Kenji stated.
Mason then had another thought. He grabs Takashi's legs and crosses them for the Dark Leaf (Texas Cloverleaf).
"Mason's going to use the Dark Leaf! There's no way Takashi can get out of this." Zack stated.
Stone then tries turn over Takashi, but he couldn't as Takashi kept striking him on the head. Then, he somehow turns into to a Small Package Pin. Mason kicks out quickly. Mason goes for a left punch, but Takashi catches it in time, and puts him into the Crippler Crossface.
"The Crippler Crossface! The Crossface!" Kenji shouted.
"Can Mason get out of this?" Zack questioned.
Takashi holds the Crossface to Mason as hard as he could. Stone is just screaming in pain from the maneuver. He starts using his free arm to crawl to the ropes in front of him. Takashi yells and keeps holding the pressure on Mason's head until he hits his breaking point. Mason clutches his free hand into a fist as he drags himself to the ropes. The fans were cheering for Mason to hang on. Mason's fingertips were only a few centimeters away, his hand then is high in the air, looking to tap. Then... he grabs the ropes! The fans roared and cheered when Stone got the ropes. Takashi was still hanging on to Mason with the Crossface. The ref had to count.
1, 2, 3, 4...!
Takashi lets go and Mason still holds the rope. Now Komuro thought of finishing him off with the Deadswitch again. As he prepares the finisher and the ref checks on Mason, coming inside the ring are both Carter and Stan and they wait at the corner. Takashi felt something wasn't right. So he turns around, but receives a hard Double Spear from them. Terra and Young immediately roll out of the ring and hide in the audience.
"What the hell! Again with this bull crap!" Kenji said.
"Those two are really getting on my nerves." Zack stated.
Takashi now struggles to stand up when he was hit by the Double Spear. Mason stands up, sees Takashi not looking, seizes the opportunity, grabs him, and hits the Dark Capacity Driver (Gory Special flipped forward into a Piledriver). He covers Takashi.
"No! No! Not like this! Not like this!" Kenji shouted.
1, 2, 3!
"Damn it!" Zack shouted.
*Bell rings*
*The winners of this match: Mason Stone, Marcus King, Sara Verser, Jessica Montoya, and Carla Ramirez, the Hardcore Foundation!*
Both teams stop when they heard the bell ring and see Mason pinned Takashi. The rest of the Hardcore Foundation run inside the ring to congratulate their leader as the rest of the H.O.T.D. team was in disappointment of their first loss. Unfortunately, both teams, except Takashi, the fans, and the commentators, had no idea that Alpha and Omega helped Mason steal the win.
"I can't believe this happened! Terra and Young stole the win for Mason." Kenji stated.
"I don't think Mason even knows that they helped him." Zack commented.
Mason looks to the audiences and finds Carter and Stan stand in the crowd with smiles on their faces. He knew in a instant that they helped him win and he did not want that. He yells at them that he did not want this. Takashi was still in pain from the Double Spear and the DCD.
"Looks like Mason sees Alpha and Omega did the dirty work and he is not happy about it." Kenji stated.
The TitanTron then shows the footage that Takashi was attacked. Now both teams were angry to see the truth of the match.
(Commercial Break)
The cameras return and they show Kenji and Zack at the announcers table.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, we're back live on ACW. And from the turn of the events during the commercial break, Hardcore Foundation and H.O.T.D. had realized of the winnings of Mason's team." Kenji stated.
"Both teams agreed that they would call this a tie from a handshake of what happened. Look what happened." Zack said.
DURING COMMERCIAL BREAK:
Takashi's team and Mason's team stand in the ring face to face. No one knows what was going to happen next. Mason tells him that this winning was a mistake and he asks for this match to be called a tie. He wanted no problems with him in the future. Takashi agrees with the idea. Then, Mason raises his hand out for a handshake. Komuro didn't hesitate and took the offer. The audience applauds to respect of both teams. Next footage shows Takashi with a mic in his hand.
"Carter. Stan. You guys think that you could break us all down with what you did. Well, you didn't. What you planned of making The Hardcore Foundation and H.O.T.D. eternal rivals has actually made us into a mutual friendship. So the next time you guys or anyone in the entire roster mess with one of us, you mess with all of us."
Mason speaks next, "And if our friendship does go better, we might have new members the Hardcore Foundation."
"Or... the H.O.T.D. Foundation."
"Would it matter anyway, Takashi?"
"I don't think it would."
With that, both leaders of the group shake hands to show a new alliance has begun.
BACK LIVE:
The cameras change to backstage and show Carter and Stan. Both of them were arguing what happened earlier.
"I can't believe those people called that match a tie! The plan should have worked." Carter said.
"Are you kidding, Carter? It was never going to work in the first place! Now those bastards are stronger than ever with the teams are standing side by side." Terra implied.
"Oh, come on. Having to divide both groups and have them take out each other would have worked if that stupid screen hadn't shown the footage."
"You frigging idiot! You should've known that would happen!"
"Enough!" Young shouted, then takes a deep breath, "Look, all we know is the plan didn't work and the boss is not going to be happy."
"No kidding. For one thing, we already have the idiotic GM eyeing us like a freaking eagle."
"Who's the idiot?" a voice said from behind.
Carter and Terra were spooked and turned around to see Josh behind them.
Young stutters, "Uh... Mr. Garza... Hello, sir. How's are you?"
"Oh, I'm fine. Thank you, Carter. You know, if I remember correctly, Jesse and I were the ones who judged you two in the exhibition matches and were the ones to have you here in ACW because we thought you guys might a future here. Now I don't want you guys to forget that. And don't forget that we also saw what you two dumb-asses did out there to Takashi. And along with the Eds last week." Josh stated, "Now, if you two dumb-asses excuse me, I'll be with the GM in the parking lot, waiting for the belts to arrive."
With that, Josh leaves Terra and Young with angry expressions on their faces.
"Asshole." both Carter and Stan said out of earshot.
The cameras change and shows Sakura in the locker room getting ready for her match later on tonight. Soon, a female interviewer comes in to the room.
"Sakura! Sakura!" she called.
Sakura turns to the interviewer. The woman had shoulder-length violet hair with yellow highlights, purple eyes, and is wearing glasses.
"Uh... I'm sorry, who are you?" Sakura asked.
"Oh! My name is Clarissa Rivera and I'm the new interviewer of ACW." Clarissa answered.
"Oh, welcome aboard."
"Thank you. Now, I have a question. In your match with Kendra Daniels, is your reason for fighting her because that she insulted Téa with her friends' condition or is it because of your honor?"
"Well, Clarissa, I'll admit, it does have something to do with defending my honor. But Kendra went way too far by mocking Téa when she is considering herself with her friends' conditions and I will not stand for that. So that's why I'm going to go out there and make sure she pays for what she said last week. And trust me... It'll be painful."
With that, Sakura leaves the locker room. The cameras then change to the ring and the bell sounds are heard.
*Bell rings*
*The following contest is scheduled for one fall!*
*Another Me by Peroxwhy?gen*
Soon, entering the stage is a young man with black spiky hair, and his entrance is similar to Jeff Hardy. He walks down the stage and high-fives the fans along the way to the stage.
*Introducing first: Making his debut in ACW; from Nampa, Idaho; weighing in at 214 pounds; "The Extreme Warrior" Alex Loredo!*
"Hey, we got an extreme high flyer here!" Kenji approved.
"I guess ACW could use a little... 'extreme' if you know what I mean." Zack stated.
Alex slides in the ring and runs up the turnbuckle with a Jeff Hardy-attitude. He steps down from the corner and waits for his first opponent to come.
*Firewater by Sinister Growley*
Entering the stage was a man with ash black hair, a maniacal smile with sharp, almost canine-like teeth, and is wearing a orange prison jumpsuit. Many fans in the arena booed at him knowing who he was.
"Oh, my God...! It-It-It's Jason Krueger! It can't be!" Zack stuttered in shock.
"Jesus Christ...! Jason is here?! In ACW?! I'm sorry to say this, but has Jesse lost his f%king mind for having him here?!" Kenji stated.
"Jason Krueger is one of the most dangerous, twisted, and disturbing sociopaths in the entire UWE roster. And now we got him in the ACW..."
Jason walks down the ramps still with the sick smile upon his face and walks up the steps to enter the ring. Alex looks hesitant when he saw Jason enter the ring. Maria was too scared to even announce his name and left the ring early. Soon, Jason's song fades and the official decides to ring the bell.
*Bell rings*
Alex and Jason walk in the center to look in each other's eyes and show no fear at all.
"You gotta admit, Alex has some guts for looking into Jason's sinister eyes." Kenji commented.
"I'll say." Zack agreed.
Both superstars then talking smack to each other and start getting into each other's faces. Then Alex pushes Jason away from him. Krueger smirks with arrogance and he pushes back. Alex waits for a second, and pushes back to Jason. Then from out of nowhere, Jason slaps Alex in the face disrespectfully. The audience did not like that at all. Krueger starts laughing that he smacked his opponent as Alex tries to feel his jaw from the slap. Then while Jason wasn't looking, Alex strikes him down hard!
"Ha! That'll teach that son of a bitch a lesson!" Zack commented.
Jason looks back and Alex takes him down, and starts slugging him. The official then comes in between them and tries to break them up. The fans, however, wanted this brawl to happen as they chant...
Crowd: Let them fight! Let them fight! Let them fight! Let them fight! Let them fight!
Soon, Alex and Jason roll out of the ring and were still slugging each other. Alex pushes Jason off him and both men go at it again!
"Damn, these two really are just beating the crap out of each other!" Kenji stated.
The series of punches stop when Jason knees Alex in the gut. Jason then tries to throw Alex to the steel steps, but Alex reverses it and Jason hits the steps instead. Now Alex kneels near him and keeps striking him down with multiple fists. Alex gets off and rolls back in the ring. The referee was already at five when Alex rolled back inside. Then, when the ref didn't look, Alex goes back outside and makes Jason stand up. The official had to start from one again, but Alex forces Jason back inside.
"Wow. This match is just intense so far." Zack commented.
Then, Alex slides inside the ring. Jason stands and hits Alex with a Throat Thrust! Alex was down on the mat from the uppercut and coughs from it. Now, Jason starts kicking down Loredo and does a face stretch to him. Alex then stands on his hands and knee, but Jason kicks him right in the ribs.
"Man, Krueger's not giving his opponent a chance." Kenji stated.
Jason then made Alex stand and he throws him to the corner. He starts kicking multiple times until Alex sat on the the mat, then he starts choking him with his foot. The official orders him to get off him. He starts counting up to five.
1, 2, 3, 4...!
Jason releases the hold and Alex starts coughing hard. The ref warns Jason not to do that again. Alex slowly starts to stand up on his feet with the help of the ropes. Jason moves away from the ref and walk towards Loredo, but he counters by kicking him with a boot to face. Quickly, Alex stands on the top turnbuckle and jumps off for a Diving Rolling Senton at Jason! He covers him.
1, 2...
Jason kicks out at two. Alex stands up, runs to the ropes, bounces back and hits a Running Leg Drop on his head. Alex grabs Jason's head and holds a Headlock on him. But Jason wasn't going to let that happen as he starts to bite Alex's arm. Loredo releases him quickly since he already knows what he's doing. He tenders his arm to see if there were any bite marks or blood. He may be extreme, but there was no way in hell he was going bleed by letting someone bite him.
"Man. What did I tell ya? Jason is a psycho." Zack stated.
Alex turns to his opponent and receives a Big Boot to the face. Alex was down on the mat and Jason starts stomping him with no mercy and soon stops. Then, Krueger waits in the corner for his finisher.
"Oh, no. This is not good." Kenji stated.
"He's going to do the Gore!" Zack said.
Alex slowly stumbles to stand up after the boot to the face and the stomps he received. Jason waits with that maniacal grin stuck on his face. Alex finally stands, Jason runs, and when Alex turned around, he dodges the Gore and Krueger hits the steel pole hard!
Crowd: Ooh!
"Damn!" Kenji and Zack winched.
Jason hurt his shoulder hard when he hit the steel pole. He gets out of the turnbuckle, turns around and receives a Roundhouse Kick from Alex. Jason still stands and Loredo drags him to the center and does the Extreme Twist (Reverse Swing Neckbreaker). But he wasn't done from there as the fans cheered, he looks up to the turnbuckle and smiles.
"Could Alex could be doing what I think he's doing?" Kenji asked.
Alex walks to the turnbuckle, climbs up, and prepares for a high flying finisher. Alex jumps off for a Swanton Bomb, but Jason quickly moves away, and Alex hits the mat hard. He sits up in pain from landing on his back. Then, Jason stands Alex up in a Full Nelson and hits him with the Vex Breaker (Full Nelson Backbreaker).
"Ooh! The Vex Breaker hits Alex." Zack stated.
Now, Jason sees Alex's spine is his weak spot and starts doing more damage to it by giving it many Elbow Drops and stomps. Then, Jason grabs his legs and turns him over for a Boston Crab. Now Alex was in deep, deep trouble; he is in the center of the ring with no place to go and his spine is injured as of now. He screams in pain as Jason applies more pressure to the spine.
"This is not good. I'm not sure how long Loredo can hold on." Kenji stated.
"Come on, Alex." Zack supported.
Alex may be in pain, but there was no way he was going to tap out now. His right hand turns into a fist and he stomps the mat. He then starts to make Jason stand up and tries to grab his feet to reverse it. Jason, however, releases the hold and starts to strike Alex in the face. Jason gets off Alex and makes him stand up. He puts him in the Full Nelson position, looking to do another Vex Breaker.
"Jason's going to do the Vex Breaker again." Kenji stated.
Alex wasn't going to let that happen as he grabs Jason's head and does a Sitout Jawbreaker from reverse. Jason quickly stands, but Alex grabs his legs, drops him, jumps and hits his lower abdomen with a Extreme Leg Drop. When Jason sits up in pain from the maneuver, Alex hits him with a Front Dropkick right in the face. Jason rolls out of the ring in pain as Alex stands and shouts in charisma to the fans.
"And Alex Loredo is just pumping this crowd up!" Zack stated.
Loredo sees Krueger starting stand and stumble. He runs back to the ropes, bounces back and jumps through the ropes for a Suicide Dive! He succeeds on the dive. Alex still has that charisma on his face and high-fives the crowd near him. He looks back to Jason trying to stand up again and he goes to him. When he did, Jason completely lifts up Alex and slams him on the announcers table! Alex feels pain on his chest and now Jason grabs his head and throws him to the steel steps.
"I think this match is starting to turn into a Hardcore Match." Zack stated.
"Really? When did you figure that out?" Kenji replied, sarcastically.
As Loredo was trying to get up, Jason looks under the ring for some reason.
"What the hell is Jason doing?" Kenji questioned.
Krueger stops and finds what he wanted. He stands up to take out... a sledgehammer.
"Oh, no...!" Zack said.
The referee sees Jason has a weapon in his hands and he is trying to him not to do it. Alex soon stands up, but not to realize that Krueger has a sledgehammer in his hands. Jason steadies the hammer and runs, Alex turns around... and he ducks it! Jason misses, turns back and receives a hard Superkick! Then, Alex throws Jason inside the ring and he slides in too. He makes Jason stand, and goes for the Extreme Twist again! Now Alex climbs the top rope again and starts to go the Swanton Bomb. However, Jason sees it coming and quickly rolls out of the ring. Alex rolls his eyes in frustration and steps down.
"Jason does not want to be hit by that Swanton Bomb." Zack commented.
"No kidding." Kenji agreed.
Alex rolls out of the ring to follow Jason. The ref is eyeing on them to see what they're doing next. Jason goes near the ring keeper, pushes him away and grabs a black steel chair. Jason swings at Alex and misses. Then, Alex kicks Jason in the gut, grabs him by the head and throws him to the steel pole by hitting the injured shoulder. Jason backs away in pain and goes back in the ring. Alex follows him inside, goes to him, knees in the gut and hits the Chaos Kick (Knee to the gut then into a Superkick). But he wasn't going to cover him. At least, not yet. He gets out of the ring and grabs the steel chair Jason tried to hit him with earlier.
"Uh-oh! Not good for Jason!" Kenji stated.
He gets inside the ring, readies the chair, and runs to him, but the ref takes away the chair from him and Jason gets out of the ring. Both Alex and the official start arguing as Jason went hiding.
"Okay, now what's he up to?" Zack questioned.
The official walks away to throw the chair out as Alex goes to follow his opponent. When he went to him, Jason, from out of nowhere, hits Alex with the sledgehammer!
"Son of a bitch!" Zack and Kenji shouted.
Alex feels his jaw in pain. Jason quickly slides in the ring and when Loredo turned around, Jason runs and hits the Gore! Now Jason covers...
1, 2, 3!
*Bell rings*
*Here is your winner, Jason Krueger!*
"You have got to be fricking kidding me! Jason cheated with the sledgehammer!" Kenji said.
"God, I think I'm going to be sick just for seeing that." Zack said.
Jason rolls out of the ring and raises his right fist in the air as he still has that sinister smile. Alex looks to Jason with hatred and anger from how that sick person stole the match.
(Commercial Break)
The cameras return to backstage and shows Alex walking with his jaw injured.
"Geez, my jaw hurts. Bastard." Alex said to himself.
Soon, Mike comes in and calls him.
"Alex! Alex, what happened out there was obviously devastating to you and your first debut in the ACW. Tell me, what do you think when Jason stole the win?" Mike asked.
"What do I think—? Let me tell you this, Mike. What Jason Krueger did out there was the biggest mistake of his career." Alex grabs the mic and turns to the camera, "Jason, if you're watching this, listen and listen carefully. What you did to me, what you did out there in that ring is the most despicable, deceitful, and petty way of winning that match. You think you won, Jason? Well, guess what? You didn't. I know all about you, Krueger. You're sick. You're twisted. You're demented. You're a psychopath that makes all psychopaths want to piss in their pants. And you know what? So am I. I'll make sure that next time when we meet in the ring, it'll be a f%king bloody massacre!"
Alex passes the mic back to Michael and leaves. The cameras return to the ring and it shows many stands with covers on top of them.
"What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is the official championship belts of ACW!" Kenji stated.
"Oh, boy! This is it, man! I can't wait to see what they look like!" Zack stated.
*We're building it up!*
*Burn it Down by Linkin Park*
Jesse comes walking to the stage along with Josh and they walk down the ramps to the ring. Both Jesse and Josh give the fans high-fives along the way. Both men enter the ring and they stand by the covered stools. Josh passes one mic to his friend and Jesse speaks.
"Hello, ACW Universe! How the hell are we tonight?" Jesse shouted with charisma.
The fans reacted with cheers to Jesse's shout.
"Awesome. I really like how this second week is going so far. From the debut matches, we have a total of seven UWE wrestlers here in ACW! I gotta tell ya, this night turned into a UWE night." the audience cheered to that, "Okay, now to business. As we are already on our second week, I was thinking of what we're going to do with our company. We did not know how to start, we do not know what to do for the future. Well, that stopped. Because on April 28th, 2013, we will have our very first Pay-Per-View called... Southern Hell."
The fans applaud to name of the first Pay-Per-View. Then Josh speaks next.
"And here two good parts for Southern Hell. One: it'll be taking place at the home of the Heartbreak Kid!" Josh stated as the fans cheered loudly, "That's right! Southern Hell will be taking place at San Antonio, Texas in the AT&T Center! And... we already have an official theme song for it."
The arena turns quiet for a while. Then...
*The Country Song by Seether*
"No freaking way! Seether for our first Pay-Per-View theme song! This is awesome!" Zack stated.
"You just took the words right out of my mouth, bro." Kenji stated.
Soon, the music fades and Jesse speaks next, "All right, I guess that'll be enough of that, Josh. Now, let's get to the belts! And as you know the saying, 'ladies first'." Jesse then waits as Josh waited too, "Well, Josh?"
The audience laughs when Jesse joked about Josh.
"You jerk." Josh said as the audience laughed.
"Just do it."
"Whatever."
Josh walks to two covered stands and places his hand on one.
"Well, it is true what they say. 'Ladies first.' But not on me, Jesse!" Josh said to him, and then placing his hand on another, "Here we go."
Josh pulls both curtains off and it shows two titles on one and one title on the other. The title on Josh's left were called the ACW Women's Championship shaped like the Women's Championship belt in WWE with a crimson strap. The centerpiece is gold with and the words "Women's Championship" are engraved on the golden centerpiece at the top of the belt. The nameplate is gold at the bottom of the belt, and the ACW logo is in the center of the title. The other two at Josh's right were called the ACW Women's Tag Team Championship. It is just like the TNA Women's Tag Team Championships except the leather strap is dark pink and the logo is replaced with the ACW logo.
"We present to you the ACW Women's Championship and the Women's Tag Team Championship! Now, it's the man's turn. Josh, help me pull of all the curtains off except for those two." Jesse ordered.
Jesse and Josh start going through the stands and keeps pulling all the curtains off. The first belt Josh shows was the ACW TV Championship. It is gold with the globe on it. A TV is on each of the two smaller plates and the strap is black. Then Jesse pulls off another and it shows the ACW Hardcore Championship. The main plate shows it looked rugged and shows barbed wire on it. The leather strap is black with red-colored barbed wire going around it.
The next one Josh pulls is the ACW Intercontinental Championship. The belt is shaped like the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Two plates on the left side shows the "Old World" and two wrestlers grappling and two plates on the right side shows the "New World" and the ACW logo. The main plate is even like the title where the WWE logo is replaced with ACW.
Another shown is the ACW U.S. Championship. The belt is similar to the WWE U.S. championship where the U.S.A. colors are on the plate. The strap is black with red and blue on each side of the main plate. Next, Josh and Jesse pull of a curtain showing the ACW World Tag Team Championships. The belts are shaped like the old WWE World Tag Team Championships. The left plate show two wrestlers doing a tag team finisher to their opponent. The right plate is the same. The plates are colored in gold. The main plate shows the logo on top while "Tag Team" is at the bottom above the name plate.
"We present you the ACW TV Championship, Hardcore, U.S., Intercontinental, and the World Tag Team Championships!" Jesse announced.
The fans were amazed by how the belts looked. Kenji and Zack were impressed too.
"Wow... Those belts are awesome." Zack stated.
"And now. The final masterpieces." Jesse stated, "Now here's a thing. These titles are unlike any other. It is for the first time that three titles to share for one team. If you don't get that, I'll just show ya."
Jesse grabs the cover and pulls it off to show three titles that were called the ACW Trio Tag Team Championships. The belts are the same from the ACW Tag Team Championships except that both side plates show three wrestlers stand together as a team and on the main plate, it says Trio Champions.
"For the first time ever in wrestling history, ACW presents the Trio Tag Team Championships! These titles, now, for the first time ever, can fit for any three-man tag team on their own or in a stable."
"And now to the main title." Josh announced.
Jesse and Josh walk to the center with the final covered belt.
"And now it is time to present you..." then Jesse and Josh pull off the cover, "...the ACW Undisputed Championship!"
The ACW Undisputed Championship is shaped like the WWE Undisputed Championship, with a black leather strap and gold plated center. On the centerpiece there is a ACW logo at the top of the piece, the globe on it, and the word "Undisputed Champion" is underneath on it. The color of the pieces is golden, as usual. Beneath the globe, there's an empty plate where the name of the champion is.
"Now Josh, tell me. Do these titles look awesome, or what?" Jesse asked.
"They're most definitely are." Josh answered.
"Well, it looks like we've wasted enough time here. I think it's time to pack up the belts and leave."
"Hang on, Jesse! Don't you have any more announcements for tonight?"
"Actually I do. But it's just that we don't have enough time for now. But I will announce more about the belts and the Pay-Per-View next week. I promise you, that I do."
With that, his music plays and Jesse and Josh leave the ring as the staff starts to put away the stands and titles.
"Well, it looks like we're on our way to the next match of Kendra vs. Sakura." Zack stated.
"Don't miss it! You'll regret it if you do." Kenji said.
(Commercial Break)
The cameras return to the arena and the bell rings for the next match.
*Bell rings*
*The following Diva contest is scheduled for one fall!*
*Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin*
Sakura enters the stage with a smirk on her face and stands with her hands on her hips.
*Introducing first: From the Village Hidden in the Leaves; weighing in at 100 pounds; Sakura Haruno!*
"Sakura Haruno— a bright, strong-willed and mature athlete of all in the ACW. With the hard work she's proven in the practice matches, she sure does have what it takes to be the Women's Champion." Kenji stated as Sakura walked to the ring.
"And even though she still has a bad habit of being hyper critical." Zack stated.
"Do you really want her to kill you, man?"
"Hey, don't blame me, man. Blame the facts."
Sakura stands in the center, still waiting for Kendra to come out.
*Looks That Kill by Mötley Crüe*
Kendra enters on the stage with a smug look on her face as she looks straight at Sakura.
*And her opponent: Weighing in at 141 pounds; Kendra Daniels!*
"Seriously? This is her choice of a theme song?" Kenji asked.
"Well, it suits her." Zack proclaimed.
"Really? What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Kenji... it's me. You know this how I've always been since we were kids."
"Oy..."
Kendra now stands in the ring and is looking at Sakura in the eye, face to face. The official separates them and they go their corners.
*Bell rings*
Already, the women go into a tie-up. Then, Sakura changes it to Arm Wrench. She holds on to the arm and twists it all around and changes it to a Hammerlock by having Kendra's arm behind her back. She holds it long enough before Kendra turns it around and turns it on her. She then pushes Sakura to the corner to hold the Hammerlock. She keeps holding the pressure until the ref had to separate them. As Sakura was still away from her opponent, Kendra runs and hits her with a Dropkick to her back. Then Kendra goes for a Roll-over Pin.
1...
Sakura kicks out. She stands on her feet, and when Kendra ran to her, Sakura hits her with the Big Boot. She sees Kendra is down and goes for a Jumping Elbow Drop. Then, Sakura puts Kendra in a Headlock. However, Kendra stands up, manages to reverse the Headlock, has Sakura in the Cutter position, and goes for a Standing Shiranui.
"Oh! That's not good." Kenji stated.
As Sakura was down, Kendra stands over and taunts her with her looks and the fans boo at her. But Sakura saw the opportunity, and rolls her over.
1, 2...
Kendra kicks out at two. She rolls out of the ring to get away. However, Sakura gets out of the ring, grabs Kendra from behind and smashes her face on the apron. Then she throws Kendra back in the ring. As Sakura stands on the apron, Kendra kicks her in the abdomen. She then grabs her head, puts her arm over her head, and lifts her over the ropes for a Suplex. Kendra stands and leaps for a Leg Drop. She then wraps her legs around Sakura's head for the Headscissors Leg Lock.
"Kendra's got Sakura in the Headscissors." Kenji stated.
"Damn, she can really do with those legs." Zack commented.
"Again, what the hell, man?"
Kendra holds the Headscissors as Sakura tries to unlock the submission. Kendra makes it worse when she tightens the hold and hits Sakura's head with her elbow. Kendra yells at her opponent to give up, but she wouldn't. Sakura then had one option left. She starts to hit the mat with her fist in order for her to stand. She's already on her one knee and Kendra did not like this at all as she still holds onto the lock. Sakura, with the monstrous strength she hides in her, carries Kendra in the Electric Chair position.
"Wow! Sakura, with great strength, carries her opponent in a really bad situation." Kenji stated.
"Are you kidding? Have you seen her strength in the show?" Zack asked.
Then, Sakura turns the Electric Chair into a Powerbomb. She lifts Kendra high in the air, but she escapes it in time and goes for a falling Neckbreaker. Kendra then stands Sakura up and puts her to the corner. She uses her leg to choke her opponent's neck and uses great pressure from the ropes. The fans boo at Kendra for her deeds she's doing to Sakura. The official had to get Kendra off of Sakura. Daniels does so and releases her foot from the pink-haired girl.
"This is really getting intense." Zack commented.
Kendra and the ref argue as Sakura tries to catch her breath. Kendra ignores the ref and goes after her opponent. She pushes Sakura's face to the corner as yells to her...
"I told you that you would regret facing me, you dumb pink-haired bimbo!"
Then she slaps Haruno right across the face. The fans booed heavily as Kendra stands arrogant. Sakura, however, as she sees she was slapped, she started to get angry and clutches her fist. When Kendra turned around, Sakura spears her down goes for multiple punches. She then stands her up, Irish Whips her to the ropes, and hits her with a hard Spinebuster! She screams like a beast from hell!
"Holy crap! Now you've done it, Kendra! You've made the Pink Beast mad!" Zack stated.
Kendra stands up with a hurt back and receives a Clothesline from Sakura. Quickly, before she could get hit by more of Sakura's attacks, Kendra gets out of the ring. Sakura soon follows her. Kendra tries to make a quick getaway from the angry teen as she runs around the ring. Then she goes behind the steel steps. Sakura walks towards her and Kendra kicks the steel steps right towards Sakura and hurts her left leg. Kendra grins at the success of her plan as Sakura fell in pain.
"I really, really hate to admit this, but Kendra pulled off a smart move." Kenji stated.
Kendra grabs Sakura by the hair and throws her back to the ring. She slides inside and stomps Sakura's injured leg. She grabs the injured leg and kicks it. Then, she pulls the leg, causing more pain, then she goes around Sakura and pulls the leg down. Sakura just screams in pain from the move. Kendra grabs her leg and goes for the Leglock Cloverleaf. Sakura's leg is in more pain than it ever was as she was trying to get out of it.
"Kendra now has Sakura's leg in the submission hold. I'm not sure if she can make it." Kenji said.
Sakura grips her head as her injured leg is in the lock. She lies on her shoulders and the ref counts. But Sakura quickly had her shoulder up before he could count. Kendra pushes the pressure into the leg and she strikes Sakura in the face. Then Sakura strikes back at her. With this, she continues to strike Daniels until she can get the lock released. Kendra tenders to her face as Sakura— with the opportunity— was able to get loose from the Leglock Cloverleaf, grab both of her legs, and starts swinging her all around the ring.
"Oh, crap! Sakura's just swinging Kendra around." Zack stated.
Sakura continues to swing Kendra around until she finally releases her. Kendra stands, and Sakura grabs her and hits the the Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Then Sakura grabs her by the head in a Standing Headscissors for another Powerbomb. When she grabbed her waist, Kendra immediately elbows her at the injured leg. Kendra stands and hits the kneeling Sakura with a Snap DDT. She hooks the leg, but Sakura quickly kicks out. Kendra stands out to the apron and goes for a Slingshot Body Splash. Kendra then drags Sakura to the corner near her. After that, she starts to climb the turnbuckle. As soon as she made it up the top rope, she stumbles for a bit, but keeps her balance. She stands on the top with a smug look on her face as she was about to do a high-flying move.
"I think Kendra's arrogance is only going to get the best of her." Kenji stated.
Soon, someone at the stage starts running to the ring. The person is recognized as Téa.
"What the? That's Téa! What's she doing here?" Zack asked.
Kendra sees Téa coming to the ring and she steps down. The official is telling her to leave the ringside immediately. Sakura then stands up on her on knee, Kendra quickly goes to her, but Sakura counters with a uppercut. She tenders her jaw pain and gets kicked in the gut by Sakura. The teen puts her in the Headscissors position again, lifts her up, and hits her with the Cherry Bomb (Last Ride).
"Hell yeah!" Sakura shouted to the fans.
*Crowd Cheers*
"And the crowd is pumped up! Sakura is now on fire!" Kenji said.
With the momentum Sakura has in her now, she forces Kendra to stand up and Irish Whips her to the ropes. When Kendra came back, Sakura hits with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. She stands again, and the teen grabs her for a Suplex. She lifts her up and hits the Jackhammer! Haruno hooks the leg and the ref is already in the ring.
1, 2...
Kendra kicks out at two and a half. The teen picks Kendra up, but she counters by raking her eyes! The ref checks if she's all right as Kendra acts confident. But from out of nowhere, Téa comes in, turns Kendra around, lifts her up in the Fireman's Carry and hits her with the Apricot Dominance (GTS)!
"Oh, damn!" Zack said.
"Nice version of the GTS, Téa." Kenji commented.
Téa quickly leaves the ring, and Kendra feels her head in pain. The woman stares angrily at her, but doesn't notice that Sakura is right behind her. Kendra turns around, Sakura hits her with a Clothesline, and puts her in the Anaconda Vice. Kendra screams in pain as Haruno holds tight of the submission. Kendra couldn't take it any longer and taps out.
*Bell rings*
*Here is your winner by submission, Sakura Haruno!*
"Yes! Justice has been serve to that skunk-bag!" Kenji stated.
Kendra rolls out of the ring with her head in pain as Sakura celebrates her win with Téa. At the ramps, Kendra shouts that this is not over. Téa raises Sakura's arm up in victory.
"A great way celebrate your winnings." Zack stated.
"You're right." Kenji agreed.
Then the cameras change to the backstage and shows Yugi getting ready for his match and starts walking to the arena.
"Stick around, folks. The main event is coming up next on ACW!" Kenji announced.
(Commercial Break)
The cameras return and it shows the Erupting Eds at an interview set-up. All three boys look towards the camera as they all have a serious expression on their faces. Eddy is the first to speak.
"You know, from what went on last week, I say that was kind of lousy for a guy like Kaiba to have Terra and Young attack us in order for Jesse to give up the contracts to the jerks who started it all. For one thing, we've taken a lot of crap from our enemies back at PCUW, but this we will not stand for."
Edd speaks next, "We issue a challenge that, at Southern Hell, you— Terra, Young, and the Shield— fight against us, the Erupting Eds, and two people of our choices in a Ten-Man Tag Team Match."
"So be ready. You don't know what us Eds have up our sleeves."
Then the cameras change to the arena and shows Kenji and Zack at the announce table.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. What you guys just saw there was a footage of the Eds' response to what happened last week. And it looks like they're declaring war on the Alpha and Omega, and the Shield." Kenji stated.
"Yes, brother, and it's all because of Marik and Bakura's plan of annihilating the best superstars Jesse had hired to start the show." Zack commented.
"I really can't wait to see what goes on there. But on the way now, is the main event! Who are Yugi's mysterious partners he chose for tonight?"
"I believe we're about to find out right now."
*Bell rings*
*The following main event is scheduled for a Eight-Man Tag Team Match!*
*The Bird and the Worm by The Used*
Stan and Carter enter the stage the same way they did last week on their debut.
*Introducing first: From Orlando, Florida; at a combined weight of 469 pounds; the team of Carter and Terra, Alpha and Omega!*
"Young and Terra had debut last week against Altered Egos in a tag team match. And with the help of Marik and Bakura, they got their first win." Kenji stated.
Both men stand at opposite turnbuckles, pointing and swearing at the fans. They step down and wait for their partners.
*Riot by Three Days Grace*
Marik and Bakura enter the stage with the same vile expression on their faces.
*And their partners: At a combined weight of 235 pounds; Marik Ishtar and Ryo Bakura, the Gods of Darkness!*
"Geez, I really can't stand these guys. They are what give me nightmares." Zack stated.
"I have to agree with you there. I got to say this, did Jesse really make the right decision of hiring these guys? Answer: No, I don't think so. But at least Yugi will get some payback for what the bastards did to him and Atem." Kenji stated.
Both teams stand in the ring as they walk around and wait for their opponents.
*Just Close Your Eyes by Bedlam's Gate*
*Go!*
Entering the stage alone was Yugi as he stares at his enemies with anger.
*And their opponent: From Domino City, Japan; weighing in at 92 pounds; Yugi Mutou!*
"Could Yugi be fighting the match by himself?" Kenji asked.
"Well, he's got a microphone in his hand. I think he has something to say first." Zack proclaimed.
Yugi stops at the ramps as his music fades.
"As from last week, my friend, Atem, was sent to the hospital of a minor concussion because of what you bastards did to him. But you know what? It be worth having to kick your asses." Yugi implied, receiving cheers from the fans, "Now, let me introduce to you my good friends who will be helping me tonight."
Yugi turns the stage before...
*Fall!*
*I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin*
The fans cheer to hear that familiar theme of Naruto Uzumaki as he enters with a smirk. He stands by Yugi before another shows up.
*Caaaaaaage!*
*Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins*
Isaac Clarke enters next at the stage as he walks down the ramps and stands by Naruto. His music fades and Yugi speaks again.
"Honestly, I would have the Eds help me beat the hell out of you, but this is better. As well as this..."
Yugi, Naruto, and Clarke turn to the stage for their fourth partner.
*In the Black by Motörhead*
The fans cheer in shock to hear that familiar song from the early night.
"Oh... my... God!" Zack gasped.
"No freaking way! Rogen Townsend is teaming with Isaac, Naruto and Yugi! Now the guys are screwed!" Kenji stated.
Rogen stands by his team and they all enter the ring as the Heels backed away to their corners. Young and Naruto are the first to start the match. The official rings the bell.
*Bell rings.*
Naruto and Carter go into a tie-up and they hold for a while. Then Carter quickly changes it and Arm Drags Naruto. The blonde goes after him and Carter does another Arm Drag. Naruto stands and Carter leaps for a Dropkick, but went too early and fell on his abdomen. Then, Carter stands his knees and Naruto hits him with a Big Boot. Naruto grabs Carter in Front Headlock and drags him to the corner. Once then, he climbs up to the second ropes and jumps off for a Tornado DDT. However, Carter countered by pushing off Naruto and then he hits him with a Clothesline. Carter covers.
1...
Naruto kicks out quickly at one. Carter grabs Naruto by the hair and he tags in Terra. Young holds Naruto as Terra talks smack to Naruto and spits right at his face. The fans and his team did not like that at all.
*Crowd Boos*
Then he knees him in the stomach, and both Carter and Stan lift Naruto lift him up in a Suplex and slams him with a Double Gourdbuster. Naruto on his knees and they hit him a Double Dropkick to the face. Carter steps out of the ring and Terra goes to work on the blonde. As Naruto was starting to get up, Stan runs back to the ropes, bounces off and hits Naruto with Low Dropkick. He covers but Naruto kicks out quick before the ref could count. Terra stands and hits Naruto with multiple Elbow Drops before striking his head and standing arrogant as the fans boo at him.
"Naruto is not looking so good now." Zack commented.
After the stance of cockiness, Terra goes back to Naruto. He grabs him by the head and hits him with a left strike. Naruto stumbles and Stan kicks him hard in the gut then slapped his head disrespectfully. Then he grabs his head and slams it down on the mat. Now Terra is just playing with him like a rag doll. Naruto sits up and Terra slaps his head again and again until he makes him stand up. Terra, with arrogance, sees Naruto stumble, runs to the ropes and when he returned, Naruto strikes him with a Clothesline!
"Hey, there we go!" Kenji commented.
"Yes! Naruto's in control!" Zack said.
*Crowd Cheers*
Terra stands and receives a right hand strike from Naruto. He stands again and gets hit with multiple strikes before Naruto kicks him in the gut and lifts him up and slams him with Fisherman Suplex. Naruto shouts to the crowd with the adrenaline he had in himself. When Terra stood up, Naruto elbows him at the face and he drags him to his corner. He tags in Yugi and he climbs the top turnbuckle. Naruto lifts Stan in a Powerbomb position and Yugi leaps off for a Senton and they put him down with a Powerbomb/Senton Combo. Yugi covers as Naruto walked out to the apron.
1, 2...
Terra kicks out at two. Yugi sits Stan up and goes over him with a Running Neck Snap. Stan stands up quick from the Neck Snap as Yugi waits. When he stood, Yugi runs and hits him with the Flapjack & Dropkick, sending Stan to the opposite side with great force and outside the ring. Terra stumbles as Yugi, with the opportunity, runs to the opposite ropes, bounces back and leaps over the ropes for a high Shooting Star Press and it connects!
"Holy s%t!" Kenji and Zack said.
Audience: Holy s%t! Holy s%t! Holy s%t! Holy s%t! Holy s%t!
No one could believe that just happened— not even the ref! Yugi and Terra are down outside the ring.
"Did Yugi seriously just do that?! Did he just did a Shooting Star Press from the over the ropes?" Zack asked.
"I-I don't know. I only blinked for one second and I just see Yugi high in the air with a high flying move." Kenji stuttered, "C-Can we get a replay?"
The TitanTron shows the footage of Yugi jump over and off the ropes for a Shooting Star press. The cameras return to the match and the ref is already at four as Yugi and Stan try to stand. Yugi is the first stand and he slides back in the ring. The ref is at six and Stan tries to stay up. Seven; Stan quickly rolls back into the ring. With that, Yugi gets him to the corner and hits with many Shoulder Thrusts. Then he steps away from Stan, jumps on him and flips him over with a Monkey Flip. As Terra sits up, Yugi runs to the ropes for a attack, but when he hit the ropes, Bakura kicks him right in the back.
*Crowd Boos*
Yugi goes on his knees as the ref warned Ryo and they argue. While Yugi was in knees in pain from the spine, Terra sees the opportunity and hits him with a Big Boot. Then he drags him to the center of the mat, makes him stand on his knees, and says to him...
"You think you can mess with me like that, you little bastard? I don't think so..."
Then he slaps him right across the face and hits a Snap DDT. Stan places his foot on top of Yugi with a cocky pin.
"Come on, baby!" Terra shouted.
1, 2...
Yugi kicks out in time. Stan puts his foot on Yugi's head and stomps him. The referee warns him not to do that again and they both start to argue.
"Okay, I'm gonna say this, Terra's arrogance is just going to get the better of him and it will— and I mean— will, lead him to a downfall." Kenji stated.
"I believe that the only reason that Terra is being so cocky is because he and Carter won their very first match against Altered Egos." Zack commented as Terra ignored the ref, "I just think that when you win something that's special to you the first time, you're either proud and want to celebrate it with your friends, or you get arrogant and want to show off."
Terra walks to Yugi's corner and looks to his team. He starts talking smack on how he's better than them. He walks right up to Isaac's face and talks bad to him. Clarke only chuckled as Terra starts bullying him. Then Terra pushes him, and Clarke smacks him right across the face! With the advantage, Yugi charges right at Terra and hits him with a Frankensteiner.
"Ha! I knew Terra's arrogance was going to the best of him!" Kenji said.
Terra stands up and tries to hit Yugi with a Clothesline, but misses. Yugi runs to the ropes, bounces off and hits Terra with a Reverse DDT. Yugi starts to get pumped up by shouting to the crowd. Yugi gets Terra up, and sees Isaac with his hand out. He sees he wants to make a tag. Yugi drags Stan to his corner, and tags in Isaac. They both have Stan in a Inverted Headlock position and lift him up for a Reverse Suplex! Isaac stands over Terra and says...
"I've met people worse than you, my friend."
He stands Stan up, puts him at the ropes, Irish Whips him, and when Stan hit the ropes, Marik tags in. Stan returns and Isaac hits him with a Neckbreaker. He covers, but the ref tells him Terra's not in. With that distraction, Marik attacks him from behind.
"And one of those people is me." Marik said before he starts striking him.
Marik stands Isaac up, puts him in a Inverted Headlock, knees him on the upper spine, and lands his elbow on the neck. He covers, but Isaac kicks out at one. Marik grabs the arm and makes a Hammerlock. But he starts to lift himself up and positions himself for a Wristlock with Bridge. Isaac screams in pain of the move since he's in a bad position. The ref asks if he wants to give up, but he replies no. Marik sees Clarke's not giving up easily and he lets go of the lock. Isaac tenders his arm as Marik stood up. Marik goes to Clarke and puts him down and starts striking him. After the strikes, he starts hitting him with many Elbow Drops.
"Marik is just constantly hitting Isaac with those Elbow Drops. He's certainly not giving him a chance to breathe." Zack stated.
Then Marik has Isaac's head ready and jumps and hits him with a Knee Drop. Marik sits Isaac up and kicks him right on the spine. As Clarke feels pain in his back, Marik gets him up, turns him around, and lands on the mat with a Neckbreaker.
"Ooh! That's gotta hurt!" Kenji said.
"He's gonna feel that in the morning. Can Isaac try to get his team back in control? Find out when we return live on ACW!" Zack announced as Marik covered Isaac, but he kicks out.
(Commercial Break)
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We're back live on Awesome Championship Wrestling and I think Isaac might be back in control." Zack announced as Clarke hits Marik with a Neckbreaker of his own.
"Earlier, during commercial break, Isaac had a lot of trouble trying to fight back, but he manages to do so with another surprising move." Kenji said.
DURING COMMERCIAL BREAK:
Marik is on top of Isaac at the ropes with the Ten-Punches. As Marik hit the ninth punch, he raised both fists in the air, showing confidence, but Isaac manages to carry Marik up, and throw him down with a Powerbomb.
BACK LIVE IN THE RING:
Isaac gets his opponent up, Irish Whips him, Marik returns and gets thrown with a Hip Toss. Clarke goes for an elbow, but Marik moves away. Then he runs and leaps, but Isaac catches him in time and throws him down with a Scoop Slam. He runs to the ropes, bounces back and hits a high Knee Drop. He hooks the leg, but Marik kicks out quick. Isaac makes him stand, and lifts him up over his shoulders, but Marik quickly gets out of it and hits him with a Dropkick. Marik heads back to his corner and tags in Carter. As Isaac stood up, Carter sprints towards him and strikes him with a Running Neckbreaker.
"Ooh! That's gotta hurt." Zack commented.
Carter grabs Isaac's head, gets him up, and starts to use the Snapmare & Necklock as he has Isaac on his knees. Clarke sees there's no place to go for him since he is far from his team.
"Tap out, you son of a bitch!" Carter shouted.
Isaac shook his hands in response as Young kept the Necklock in place. He shouts to Clarke for him to tap out, but he wouldn't. Carter holds it harder and looks he's about to break his neck. Clarke doesn't look like he's still hanging on as he starts fading as his free hand is hanging loose. His team is getting worried as they see Isaac's condition. The ref checks the arm to see if Isaac is still up. It falls and the ref counted one. He raises his arm again, it falls, and he counts to two.
"This is not good. If the ref counts all the way to five, the match is over." Kenji stated.
"Come on, Isaac!" Zack rooted.
Isaac's hand is raised again and it's now at three. Another rise, then fall, at four. The official raises the arm one last time, and it falls, but it stops in time!
*Crowd Cheers*
His hand starts to turn into a fist and he starts to rise on his feet. Carter tries to hold onto him, but Isaac is too strong for him. Isaac starts elbowing Young in the chest about a few times before being released. Clarke runs to the ropes, comes back, and hits Young with a Reverse Elbow. Young stands up again, and Isaac hits him with a Clothesline. Young stands, sprints to Clarke, he dodges him, Carter turns and gets lifted up in a Flapjack. Now Clarke shouts to the crowd to get them more excited.
"Isaac's back, baby!" Zack commented.
Clarke stands up and goes to the top rope for a high maneuver. He waits for Carter to stand up. Young gets up as he stumbles. He turns, and Isaac leaps off the turnbuckle for a Crossbody Splash, but Young moves out of the way and Isaac lands on the referee!
"Oh, no!" Zack and Kenji said.
Isaac could not believe it as he held his head in shock. Carter sees the ref is down and Isaac is surprised. He quickly sprints and hits Isaac with an Running Elbow to the head. Clarke stands up and Carter kicks him in the gut. Then he gets him in a Standing Headscissors, hooks the arms up, lifts him up and hits the First Extraction (Lifting Double Underhook Sitout Facebuster).
"The First Extraction hits it!" Kenji said.
"But there's no ref. He's out. Wait a minute, he comes another one!" Zack said.
A different referee runs down the ramps and into the slides into the ring. Carter hooks the leg and the ref counts...
1... 2...
Isaac kicks out at two and a half! Carter's team could not believe it, not even him. He shouts no and tells the ref it was three.
"Are you kidding me, ref!? It was three!" Carter shouted.
"No! His shoulder went up at two. That's it. Deal with it!" the official stated.
They continue to argue as Isaac crawls to his corner. He raised his hand out and tags in Rogen Townsend. He gets inside the ring and waits behind Carter as he and the ref still argue. But from behind, Terra hits the ref with a Rear Mat Slam.
"What the hell, man!" Zack shouted.
"I am really, REALLY getting tired of these bastards." Kenji groaned.
Carter only smirked that the official was out. Terra and Carter nod and go after Isaac, but really, Rogen stands in the ring and he grabs them both by the throat! He lifts them up high and slams them with a Double-Handed Chokeslam! Terra is out of the ring as Carter is trying to stand after that hard Chokeslam. Rogen waits as he prepares his ultimate finisher.
"Uh-oh! There's no way Carter's getting out of this!" Zack said.
"If he hits the WCM, they're done." Kenji proclaimed.
He stands, Townsend runs to the ropes, comes back, but Marik and Bakura stop him with chair shots. Rogen was down for the count and his team starts going after them. Unfortunately, Marik and Bakura countered with the chairs. Carter and Stan stand and they go after Naruto and Isaac. They try to fight back, but with the chair shots, Terra and Young were able hit them at their weak point. Naruto and Isaac were out of the ring, and Yugi is the only one left inside. He stands and realizes he is trapped in the middle of the ring.
"Oh, no. This is not good. Yugi's trapped." Zack said.
Yugi sees Carter, Stan, Marik, and Bakura have him outnumbered, but that doesn't mean he was going to back down. When Stan went after Yugi, he countered with a punch to the jaw. Carter next, and Yugi with a left kick to the head (CM Punk Style!). Marik after him, but Yugi hits him with a Side Kick. But Yugi didn't see Bakura as he kneed him right at the gut. With the advantage, Carter and Stan go after him and hit him with the Double Spear. Yugi is hurt bad from the Spear and struggles to stand. Marik brings him up, puts him in a Front Headlock, and slams Yugi with the Darkness Falls (Moonlight Drive).
"For the love of God, someone stop this madness!" Kenji said.
Bakura stands over the downed and prone Yugi with a sick grin on his evil expression. He tells Marik to bring him a chair and he does so. Marik passes it to him, Bakura slides the chair to Yugi's head, he grabs the head and says...
"You, my young friend, are finished...!"
Then he slammed his head on the chair. Bakura grabs another chair and holds over Yugi.
"Oh, God, no! No! Not like this!" Zack said.
"That sadistic bastard is going to end Yugi with that one move." Kenji implied.
Bakura raises the chair over his head to completely fracture Yugi. But...
*Evil Angel by Breaking Benjamin*
*Crowd Cheers*
The Heels turn to the stage to see the same man they thought would never return until later. Atem... He stands at the stage with tape around his head from his concussion.
"Oh, my God! It's Atem! He's back!" Zack shouted.
"But he wasn't supposed to come back until two to three weeks!" Kenji proclaimed.
"Well, it seems he wants vengeance tonight!"
But he wasn't the only one who wanted payback. Entering next to him were the Erupting Eds. Then they all run down to the ring and they start going after the Heels!
"My God! It's episode one all over again!" Zack yelled.
"And man, does this make it even better!" Kenji stated.
The Eds throw Alpha and Omega out of the ring as Atem was fighting Marik and Bakura. The Eds grab the ropes and slingshot themselves at Stan and Carter. With Atem, he punches Bakura in the face, knees Marik at the abdomen, and throws him right out of the ring. Atem looks back and receives a kick to the gut from Bakura. Ryo runs to the ropes and when he came back, Atem counters with a Arm-Trap Neckbreaker. Atem runs to the ropes, bounces off and hits a Moonsault Knee Drop!
"Ow! That's new." Zack implied.
Atem shouts, "I'm back!"
*Crowd Cheers*
"You're damn right, Atem!" Kenji approved.
Atem sees his young twin on the mat and helps him up. They see they have the advantage and they get Bakura up. Atem has Bakura up and hits him with the Cutter. Bakura lies on the mat, and Yugi and Atem look to finish him off. Both partners climb up the top turnbuckle and stand. Yugi and Atem pose and, simultaneously, Yugi leaps for a Body Splash and Atem leaps for a Diving Leg Drop, and they connect!
"Nice tag team maneuver by Altered Egos!" Kenji commented.
However, Marik returns to the ring with a steel chair in his hands. But what he doesn't notice is, that Naruto and Clarke are behind him. Marik senses something was wrong and slowly turns around. When he did, Clarke and Naruto kick him in the gut, grab him in a Front Headlock, nod to each other, and hit him with a Double DDT to the chair! Now the Faces have the advantage and they all point to Yugi to climb up the turnbuckle. Yugi nods and starts climbing. When he made it to the top rope, Rogen comes to the ring. Yugi's team were concerned of what he was going to do. Then, Rogen raises his hands up; displaying he wants Yugi to jump off him.
"What the? Is Rogen trying to help Yugi fly higher?" Zack asked.
"Looks like it." Kenji replied.
Yugi sees Rogen had a better idea and climbs up on his shoulders. His feet are on him and he tries to hang his balance. Yugi tells Rogen to let go, he jumps off him and hits Bakura with the Slifer Splash (Five-Star Frog Splash)! He feels a bit of pain from the move.
"Yugi hits the high move!" Kenji stated.
"But there's no ref. Wait, there's the original! He's coming back."
The referee crawls to Yugi's spot, he covers...
1... 2... 3!
*Bell rings*
*The winners of this match: Rogen Townsend, Isaac Clarke, Naruto Uzumaki, and Yugi Mutou!*
"Yes! They did it! They've won the match!" Kenji said.
"I knew they could do it!" Zack said.
Atem and Yugi high-five each other in celebration. Naruto and Clarke went at the turnbuckles and pose to the crowd in their celebrations as well. But soon, they all stop when Rogen is just standing there with the same expression: none. Yugi goes to him and raises his hand for a handshake. Rogen is still for awhile until he gave Yugi the handshake. They let go, Rogen puts his glasses on and he leaves the ring by going over the ropes. The rest of the wrestlers stand in surprise of Rogen's expression. Townsend stops halfway at the ramps, turns back and looks dead in the eye of... Naruto. He points his finger at him for something. Naruto and even his team were confused.
"Huh? What could Rogen want with Naruto?" Zack asked.
"I don't know, Zack. But something tells me that it's going to be something phenomenal." Kenji stated, "Thank you all for watching folks. See ya next week on ACW!"
Rogen and Naruto look at each other as the show ends...
