Spring Breakdown: Pre-show
TV-14
No Cigar by Millencolin plays as the cameras shows fans filling up the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida. The cameras then change to show Mike "The Mic" Martin and Clarissa Rivera at the announce table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to thank you for joining us tonight at Spring Breakdown's Pre-show," Mike kicked things off. "Mike 'The Mic' Martin and Clarissa Rivera are here with you at the announce table."
"I can't believe Jesse gave us the chance to be at this table for ACW's first Pre-show," Clarissa cheered happily. "This is gonna be so exciting. I just can't wait for them all to start!"
"Likewise, Clarissa. We have a lot to do at the announce table before Kenji and Zack show up for the actual event. So let's make this count."
"Let's do it!"
Then the music lowers down as Maria stands in the ring along with the sounds of the ring bell.
*Bell rings*
"The following Eight-Man Tag Team contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the ACW Trio Tag Team Championships!"
*Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. SHIELD.*
*Special Op by Jim Johnston*
Fans filled the arena with boos as The SHIELD members, Hector Ambrose Erik Rollins, Luke Smith, and David Reigns, walk down from the arena steps in the crowd. After climbing down the stairs, they go over the security barricade and slide into the ring.
"Introducing first: at a combined weight of 837 pounds, the current ACW Trio Tag Team Champions, The SHIELD!"
"These guys won their first Tag Titles from nearly three weeks ago on a ACW event against Marcus, Nolan, and Tyson," Mike stated. "The Hardcore Foundation were close to winning, but apparently, a certain former referee had to get in the way."
"Ugh, no kidding. Thanks to Luke Smith, he helped screw the HF over the titles and with that, he got what he's wanted," Clarissa stated. "You even had an interview with that traitor two days ago."
"I did. Honestly to say, I did not like him the first time I saw him step into the ring."
The SHIELD members stand in the ring as Luke raises his right fist high, but only Hector, Erik, and David raise their belts as the crowd boos heavily.
*Where'd you go? Where's your home?
How'd you end up alone?
Can you hear me now?*
*Hear Me Now by Hollywood Undead*
The arena is showered with cheers and boos as the Hardcore Foundation's Marcus King, Tyson Stone, Nolan Gates, and Brent Harrison walk out to the stage.
"And the challengers: at a combined weight of 899 pounds, they are members of the Hardcore Foundation, the team of Marcus King, Tyson Stone, Nolan Gates, and Brent Harrison!"
After the announcement, the HF members already ran their way down to the ring and a brawl begins between the champs and the challengers.
"And here we go, HF and The SHIELD are going at it!" Clarissa exclaimed.
In the ring, Marcus is at Reigns, Tyson at Ambrose, Nolan at Rollins, and Brent at Smith. All eight men continue trading shots at each other until Marcus blocks the next fist by David and throws him out of the ring along with Tyson Clotheslining Hector out along with himself, and Nolan and Erik going through the ropes. Now Luke and Brent were the only ones fighting in the ring as they continue trading fists at each other. Luke swings one and Brent ducks it as he goes behind and lifts him up with a Back Suplex, but Luke rolls back on his feet, pushes him to the ropes along with himself, and looks for a Roll Up, but Brent hangs on to the ropes and Luke rolls back instead. Luke stands up and Brent nails him with a Springboard Reverse Elbow after bouncing off the ropes. Brent goes for a quick cover; 1... Smith kicks out. Harrison picks him up, gets him at the ropes, and pulls him to the opposite. Luke bounces off and Brent catches him with a Belly to Belly Suplex. Smith stands on his feet and Brent gets him again with another Belly to Belly Suplex. Luke stands again before Brent throws him over with a Monkey Flip, making him land back-first on the mat. Already, Smith rolls out of the ring and Brent chases after him. Harrison grabs him from behind and tries to slam his head on the barricade, but Luke stops himself and elbows Brent in the ribs.
"Brent was about to slams Luke's head on the barricade, but Luke saw it coming and was able to counter," Mike stated. "How will Brent make a comeback from this?"
Luke then slaps Brent's chest with a Knife Edged Chop. With the stinging pain in the chest, Brent backs away and Luke grabs him from behind and throws him into the ring. Luke slides inside and picks Brent up to his feet, hits another Knife Edged Chop before Irish Whipping him to the ropes. Brent bounces off, Luke swings a Clothesline, but Brent ducks it and runs to the other ring ropes. Harrison bounces off the ropes and when he came back, he catches Luke with a Float Over DDT. He covers; 1... Luke kicks out at one. Brent looks to his corner and sees Nolan on the apron already, brings Smith to his corner and tags out to Gates. Nolan climbs to the top turnbuckle while Brent holds Luke up. Nolan dives off and nails Smith with a Diving Double Ax Handle right on top of the head. Harrison steps out as Nolan brings Luke up again, but the SHIELD member was able to come back with a surprising Dropkick, sending him down. Luke hooks the leg; 1... Gates kicks out at one. Then, Luke drags Nolan to the center of the ring, jumps high and hits a hard Knee Drop across the face, making Nolan sit up and cover his face in pain. Smith then runs back to the ropes, bounces off, and catches Nolan with a Running Neck Snap. With Nolan down, Luke hooks the leg; 1, 2... Nolan kicks out at two. Luke picks him up to his feet, drags him to his corner and tags out to Ambrose. Luke then throws Nolan over with a Snapmare and holds his head while Hector runs to the ropes, bounces off and hits a Big Boot right to Nolan's face! By then, Luke steps out as Hector goes on top of him and starts hammering him with mounted punches to the head. Then he starts choking him out and the ref shouts for Ambrose to stop before counting; 1, 2, 3, 4...! Ambrose stops the choke and shouts at the official, "F%k you, ref!" and the crowd reacts with boos. "Shut up!" Hector shouts to the crowd and they still continue to boo.
"This guy is just showing no mercy against Gates tonight," Clarissa stated. "I don't think he cares if he even gets disqualified for this."
"Hey, from this, they know they lose the match, but they still keep the titles," Mike stated. "That's the oldest trick in the book for every dirty champion or champions."
Ambrose stands Nolan up and throws him down with a Scoop Slam before hitting an Elbow Drop across the chest. Then Hector had an idea as he climbs to the top turnbuckle. He crouches as he waits for Gates to stand up. Nolan staggers to his feet, Hector jumps off with a Diving Crossbody... and Nolan hits Hector with a Dropkick from out of nowhere! Nolan quickly crawls to Ambrose, turns him over and covers; 1, 2... Ambrose kicks out at two. Nolan stands up, drags Ambrose to the center and starts to lock in the Sharpshooter! However, before he could even complete it, Reigns runs inside the ring and slams the huge Big Boot to Gates. Marcus tries to go after Reigns, but David already runs out of the ring and the ref holds Marcus back. Marcus only sneers at David as he steps back out on the apron. For now, both Gates and Ambrose are down and they soon start to crawl to their corner for a tag. Both teams are just begging for it as they keep hitting the turnbuckle. Ambrose makes it to his corner and tags in Rollins as Nolan tags out to Tyson. Both men rush inside the ring and Rollins leaps for a Spinning Heel Kick, but Tyson ducks it. Tyson runs to the ropes, bounces off and he catches Rollins with a Flying Clothesline. Rollins stands up as Tyson runs to the ropes again, bounces off and gets him with a Throwback, making Erik's head bounces off the mat! Tyson sits him up, runs to the ropes, bounces off, and hits a Low Dropkick. He hooks the leg; 1, 2... Rollins kicks out at two. Stone picks Erik up and goes for a Suplex, but Erik slips out of there and pushes him away to the ropes. Tyson bounces off and swings for a Clothesline, but Erik ducks it, grabs the head and plants a Falling Inverted DDT.
"Oh, what a DDT by young Rollins," Mike winced.
Now Erik hooks the legs; 1, 2... Tyson gets his shoulders up at two. Quickly, Erik puts in the Headlock on Tyson. However, Tyson instantly stands up, lifts Erik up with a Back Suplex, and lands it. Then, Tyson goes for a Somersault Senton, but Rollings moves out of the way and Tyson hits the mat. Erik falls for a Elbow Drop and Tyson rolls out away. Both men stand up, Erik goes for a Spinning Roundhouse Kick, but Tyson ducks the kick, grabs the legs, and turns him over with the Boston Crab! Erik now screams in pain from feeling his lower spine put to the pressure of the Boston Crab by Tyson. Erik was already near the ropes, he was fingertips away from the it, and he was able to grab them. Tyson still holds the submission as the ref counts; 1, 2, 3, 4...! Tyson releases the submission as Erik still hangs on to the ropes. Tyson now waits and stalks for Rollins to get up. Using the ropes to help himself up, Rollins gets to his feet. He turns around and Tyson kicks him in the midsection, hooks the arms, looking for the Wings of Death (Double Underhook Piledriver), but Rollins was able to get his arms unhooked, and lifts Tyson over with the Back Body Drop! With Tyson standing up, Rollins turns him around, grabs his head, jumps up and connects the Rollins Slam! Now both men are down and both teams could not believe this.
"My goodness, I think Erik just ended the match here," Mike proclaimed.
The ref checks on both Superstars before counting up to ten; 1...! 2...! Erik slowly sits up before crawling to the downed Tyson. He covers him; 1, 2... Tyson kicks out right before three! Soon, Rollins starts crawling to his team's corner and vise versa for Tyson. Rollins tags out to David as Tyson tags out Marcus! Both men get in the ring and Marcus nails a Forearm Smash onto David. He stands up and Marcus delivers another Forearm Smash right to the skull. Reigns stands up again and tries a Clothesline, but Marcus ducks the Clothesline and runs for the ropes. He comes back and goes for the Running Big Boot, but Reigns ducks that one as well and makes a run to the ropes. He bounces off and he tries his own Big Boot, King catches the leg on time, elbows the knee, brings him down, and puts in the Ultimate Lock (Figure Four Leg Lock)!
"The Ultimate Lock! The Ultimate Lock! This could be it for the SHIELD here!" Clarissa shouted. "If Reigns taps out, the HF become new champions!"
With the leg lock, Reigns is shouting in a intense amount of pain as Marcus puts more pressure into the legs. Reigns then falls on his back with his shoulders down; 1, 2... Reigns gets his right shoulder up and keeps it up. Two minutes has passed into the match and Reigns looks to tap out. But however, Ambrose rushes into the ring and attacks Marcus along with Rollins and Smith. As well, Brent, Tyson, and Nolan rush in the ring as well and they start another brawl with each other. Already, Brent gets Rollins out with a Cactus Jack Clothesline, sending himself and Erik out of the ring. Both Smith throws Tyson out of the ring, but Stone still hangs on to the ropes. Luke sprints at him and Tyson pulls the ropes down and Luke falls over to the outside! With Nolan and Ambrose, Nolan nails a Dropkick to him and Ambrose is sent flying to the outside. Soon, Hector gets to his feet and Gates grabs the ropes, slingshots himself and connects a Plancha! Back in the ring, both Reigns and King again start trading fists left and right. Reigns throws one and King blocks it and throws a right hand right the face. Then he hits another right, and another and another and repeats the fists to the head before pulling him to the opposite ropes. David bounces off and Marcus nails a huge Big Boot! Then Marcus runs for the ropes, bounces back, and hits a huge Leg Drop across the head.
"Nice Leg Drop by the large athlete!" Mike stated.
King hooks the leg; 1, 2... Reigns kicks out at two and half. Marcus stands as he brings David up by the head, puts him in the Inverted Headlock, looking for the Final Impact, but David spins out of it and kicks him in the gut. David runs to the ropes, bounces back and Marcus catches him by the throat! With this, Marcus lifts him up high and plants the Chokeslam! But back in the ring was Hector Ambrose as he stalked him. David turns around and Ambrose nails a Low Dropkick to the knee, sending Marcus down, then he grabs the head and nails the Ambrose Cut (Snap Cutter)! As Marcus was down and Ambrose stands over him, Tyson Stone turns him around, kicks him in the gut, hooks the arms, and hits the Wings of Death! After that, Rollins comes at him, knees Tyson, grabs the head, jumps high and hits the Rollins Slam! Next, when Rollins turns around, Nolan catches him with the Rotation Kick (Buzzsaw Kick)! Luke slides back in the ring, turns Nolan around, kicks him in the midsection, sets up a Suplex, and plants the Silversmith (Spike Brainbuster)! Luke stands tall and when he turns around, Brent comes from out of nowhere and hits Killer Strike (Clothesline from Hell)! Harrison roars to the crowd as they react with cheers. However, David stalks the Hardcore Maniac. He turns around, David charges at him and hits the Final Reign (Spear)! Then, David turns around to see Marcus coming at him with the Running Big Boot, but Reigns ducks it! King turns around and Reigns kicks him in the gut before putting him in the Standing Headscissors.
"And David Reigns is looking for the Powerbomb to finish this match off!" Mike stated.
David tries to carry him up, but Marcus lifts him over with a Back Body Drop! As David was about to get up, Marcus puts him in the Standing Headscissors, about hit Reigns with his own Powerbomb! Marcus raises a fists and shouts with pride... but then David gets on his knees and hits a low blow! The ref sees it and calls for the bell to ring.
*Bell rings*
"You got to be kidding me! David did a low blow to Marcus just to keep the belts!" Clarissa said.
"What a cheap shot!" Mike said.
With Marcus down, David starts beating him down along with the other SHIELD members as they are back in the ring. During the assault, Luke steps out of the ring, looks under the apron and he brings out a wooden table. He gets the table inside and both Erik and David start setting it up. After getting the table up, Ambrose orders Reigns to hit Marcus through the table. Reigns brings Marcus in the Standing Headscissors, lifts him up, and Smith, Ambrose, and, Rollins help Reigns slam Marcus right through the table!
"My God! The SHIELD has just threw Marcus King right through the table!" Mike exclaimed. "Anarchy has happened in the ring!"
The SHIELD stand tall over the downed Marcus before they throw him out of the ring. Luke steps out of the ring, snatches the belts, comes back in the ring, and passes them to his fellow members.
"There is just no stopping them, is there?" Clarissa asked.
"I'm afraid not..." Mike replied.
Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns, and Smith stand in the ring with the right fists raises in the air as the fans continue to boo. However...
*Are you ready?*
The lights turned green as the crowd instantly cheered and the SHIELD turned their attention to the stage in disbelief.
*Yeah, you think you can tell us what to do?
You think you can tell us what to wear?*
"Oh, my God... Clarissa, are you hearing what I'm hearing?" Mike asked in shock.
"I'm hearing it, but I don't believe it," Clarissa replied.
*You think that you're better?
Well, you better get ready
To bow to the masters
Break it down!*
*Break It Down by The DX Band*
Soon, entering through the stage was none other than Eddy McGee himself and the fans are exclaiming with thunderous cheers.
"It can't be! It's him! Eddy McGee is here!" Mike shouted.
"But that's his stable theme. Where is...? There they are!" Clarissa said.
Stepping behind Eddy were Edd Remington and Edward James and they stand by him. Eddy stands with his arms crossed, Edd with a nonchalant expression, and for Ed... he's just pissed off. The music then dies down and Eddy tells Ed one thing... "CHARGE!" And the monobrowed Ed sprints right to the ring, slides inside, and starts beating the living hell out out of all the SHIELD members!
"Look at Ed go! Ed is just beating the hell out of The SHIELD for injuring him and Edd from over a month ago!" Mike exclaimed.
"Go Ed, go! Kick their asses!" Clarissa cheered.
Ed delivers a Double Clothesline to Rollins and Ambrose, then throws Reigns over with a Back Body Drop, and before Luke could get him, Ed grabs him by the throat, lifts him high and hits a one-handed Chokeslam! Edd and Eddy soon follow as they both Clothesline Reigns out of the ring. Edd kicks Rollins in the midsection, puts him in the Standing Headscissors, lifts him up, gets his legs over the arms, and hits the Clash of the Eds (Styles Clash)! Eddy stalks Ambrose as he gets to his feet, then Hector turns around and Eddy catches him with the Sucker Breaker!
"The Erupting Eds have returned to the ACW, and they have done so with authority!" Mike stated.
The Eds get Erik and Hector out of the ring as they see Luke is in the middle of the ring groggily to his feet. The Eds glare at him like a pack of wild dogs and Luke sees he's the only one left in the ring.
"Uh-oh! Smith's in deep s%t!" Clarissa laughed.
Smith sees he's trapped and before he could do anything, Ed hits a huge Big Boot right at his skull! Luke is down and Ed picks him up for a Powerbomb as Eddy and Edd climb to the top rope. Then, simultaneously, Eddy leaps off for a Flying Clothesline and Edd leaps off with a Missile Dropkick. Both Eds hit Luke and Ed hits the Powerbomb, finishing him off with the Edquake!
"The Edquake! The Edquake! The Erupting Eds are sending a message to The SHIELD that they are back!" Mike shouted.
By then, as Edd and Ed shout to the crowd, Eddy looks onto The SHIELD, points at them, signals that he and the Eds will be the next ACW Trio Tag Team Champions. Their stable music played as the lights turn green again, Edd and Ed stand by Eddy, and the Eds raise their arms up and hit the DX Chop three times as the fireworks shoot from the ring in a X before hitting a huge one.
"Man, the Erupting Eds are back after over a month. God, it's good to see them back," Clarissa said.
"I concur, Clarissa," Mike replied. "Well, ladies and gentlemen, we'll be off the announce table as of now, but you'll see us again in the interviews very soon."
"That's true. This is has been Clarissa Rivera..."
"...And Mike 'The Mic Martin' signing off!"
The Eds stand tall in the ring as the rest of The SHIELD members were still in disbelief before fading to black...
Holy crap, that was awesome! The HF may have been screwed over again, but the Erupting Eds have returned! Anyways, this thing is done and I shall get to work on Spring Breakdown now!
So, until then, guys, later! :D
