ACW Friday Night Ignition: July 19th, Week 3

TV-14

(As "Ignition" by TobyMac starts, a spotlight shines into the camera as it scans around the spots of an Eye of Anubis, a baseball bat with some blood stained on it, a crown belonging to a legendary Geatish warrior, a Poké Ball, two Duel Monster cards of the Dark Magician and the Blue Eyes White Dragon, a Wumpa Fruit, a Rookie Revolution logo, a reflection of a Sharingan eye, and we zoom in on a Leaf Village headband.)

Turn on, turn on the ignition, everybody!

("The Pharaoh" Atem hits the Pharaoh's Endgame to Marik Ishtar; then Yugi Mutou letting out a Hardy Boyz shout before landing the Duel Dive on Carter Young; then both Yugi and Atem standing together as Altered Egos, Yugi pointing at the camera with Jeff Hardy's signature hand gestures and Atem is motioning with his hand in a "bring it" gesture with a dark grin.)

Come on, come on and turn on the ignition!

(Zeke Cage poses Miz-style looking at the camera with a cocky grin; The Gods of Darkness smashes Takashi Komuro's head with the Con-chair-to; Téa Gardner hits the Apricot Dominance to Kendra Daniels at Southern Hell and Reign in Blood respectively.)

Come on, come on and turn on the ignition!

(Beowulf breathes out smoke like a dragon from his entrance as he slowly lifts his head up with a glare; one side shows Seto Kaiba grinning with arms over his chest as the camera circles around him and the other shows him nailing the White Dragon Plunge to Ash Ketchum; Kurt Hudson accompanied by Alyssa Parker and Hattori Hanzo before showing him display arrogance by rubbing his fingers together in symbolism of money.)

Turn on, turn on the ignition, everybody!

(New Devastation attacks Alex Loredo with their ND Express; The Four Horsewomen stand together in the ring as they hold the four finger gesture; Ichigo Kurosaki poses at the stage with rock horn hands with Jason Krueger glaring at the crowd before two sides show the former Spearing the latter and vice versa, but through a barricade.)

Uh-oh, uh-oh...

Uh-oh, uh-oh...


After the intro, "Ignition" by TobyMac starts over at the kick of the first verse and fireworks in the color of white shoot at the TitanTron, then silver pyro shoots out all over the stage before exploding left and right on the stage shooting out like a machine gun for a few seconds before one final blast out of an all-white and silver pyrotechnics shoot out of the stage. The lights came on immediately in the arena, and the crowd immediately roared ferociously in fervor, absolutely thrilled as the camera went over them. The fans throughout the arena were holding signs such as: "Symbiotes Shall Consume Altered Egos!"; "Screw You, Horsewomen"; "Feed Ed Smosh!"; and "ACW: Where All Tag Teams Kick Ass!" as they chanted, "AC-DUB! AC-DUB! AC-DUB!"

"We come to you live from the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to a sold-out crowd at the capacity of over 17,500 ACW fans, chanting our company's name proudly!" Markiplier calls. "HELLO, EVERYBODY! My name is Markiplier, I am here with 'The Truthfully and Brutally Honest Man from the Land of Japan' Kenji Matsuo, 'That Guy' Zack F'n Carver, and 'The (self-proclaimed) Legen—wait for it—dary Commentator of ACW and we welcome you all to the third episode of Friday Night Ignition!"

"Thanks for doing our introductions, Mark, but I think you need to work on my catchphrase a little more. At best, I'll just give you a 7.5 out of 10," Barney shrugs. "Just being generous."

"Yeah, that's a first from you, Stinson," Kenji says. "Aside from that, my fellow colleagues, we are in for one hell of a night in Ignition. We are just now two weeks away from ACW's fourth pay-per-view, Rebellion and I cannot wait for it!"

"Neither can I, Kenji! I just want Rebellion to come around already!" Zack says in excitement.

"In due time, my half-brother. In due time; but, right now, we have an interesting match card for this edition of Ignition. We have a Six-Person Tag Team Match, a singles match featuring Atem and Venom with Carnage at ringside, two International Championship Tourneys with one of them having an AIW wrestler appearing, a Handicapped Match with Smosh facing Ed—or as fans like to call him, "Edback"—with Eddy at ringside, iGeneration and Evil Beauty's own Allison Wilson and Eliza Hart with their respective leaders by their side, and a HUGE Tag Team Match in the main event."

"Oh, it is huge, all right, Kenji, but more than just a tag match. This one is huge because it is an Eight-Man Tag Team Match presenting 'The Deathmatch Icon' Spin the Hedgehog, 'The King of Blood' Beowulf, 'The Rated-R Reaper' Ichigo Kurosaki, and the ACW Undisputed Champion, 'The Orange Spark' Naruto Uzumaki facing Hattori Hanzo, 'The Billion Dollar King' Kurt Hudson, the ACW Hardcore Champion, 'The Gore Machine' Jason Krueger, and Sasuke Uchiha!" Markiplier annotates.

"Hot damn, that is HUGE! We haven't had one of those tag matches in the main event for a while!" Zack says.

"We are in for a wild ride, men. Just like that big-breasted chick I took for a wild ride last weekend. Self-five," Barney utters, high-fiving himself. "Speaking of last weekend, we did have our first recap of RAMPAGE and the job was well done by Ned and Logan."

"Yes, they did a good job and we do have to say that we congratulate James Griffin for winning the ACW Intercontinental Championship, first man to be the second Intercontinental Champion," Zack announces. "Now, he will be joining Dante in the Fatal 4-Way Match for the International Championship along with Luke Smith—if he can keep his TV Championship—and the Battle Royale Winner."

"But now, we got what we've said out of the way, let's quit talking and get to the action," Mark smirks. "It's time to Ignite to Night!"

("Heart of Sword" by T.M. Revolution)

[Hitori dewa tooi ashita wo

Yoake no mama de koe sou de

Bukkatte ikya kokeru omoi yo

Konya mo mata sure chigai...]

Lights turn silver before turning dark violet as Kenshin Himura walks out to the stage and he looks through-out the cheering fans with a small smile. He nods to them and walks his way down to the ring, giving high-fives to fans along the way. Kenshin gets on the apron, leaps over the top rope, and raises a right fist in the air before bowing to the crowd.

[Sanzan sugite doryoku no ato mo

Naku naru kekka, only no tsuna watari

Yaru dake son suru yona, mainichi wa

Sha ni kamaeteta hou koso, raku ni naru

(Atsukute) Tsurai

(Jibun wo) Kakushite

(Mijikai) Toki wo ikiteru!]

The bell rings three times as Maria Lopez announces the match, "The following Six-Person Tag Team Match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: from Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 199 pounds, 'The Legendary Battōsai' Kenshin Himura!"

"The first man to be joining the ACW International Championship Tourney on next week's episode of Ignition, Kenshin Himura looks like the same man as before, but we know him well enough that his thoughts are also on Zeke Cage after what happened on RAMPAGE last Saturday," Kenji comments.

"Kenshin had attempted to stop Cage from continuing the malicious assault on Dax Din, but only to earn the same fate with a low blow and a Cage-Breaking Finale afterwards," Zack adds. "It just seems Zeke is slowly reaching to a side that may be the near brink of destruction."

"Yeah, the destruction of Kenshin. When you think about it, Kenshin is an ECW: Blood & Ink alumni and you never know when he will go to that state. Zeke is just thinking ahead and making sure Kenshin is finished before he can get in touch with his ECW side," Barney claims.

[Okay, okay, okay...

Yes, sir!

Hell Rell!

J.R. Writer, forty...

This is how we do it, man...

I am one of a kind, yeah...

It's now or never...

Time's up, mutha—...

Let's do this...]

("The Best Out" by Dipset)

With lights turning green, Jeremy Ellis pops out from under the stage as with purple and green pyro exploding behind him. As he hears the crowd in the arena cheer loudly for him, Jeremy grows a large grin upon his face and he goes over to the left side of the stage and pumps a fist to the crowd, signaling light-green pyro to explode from there à la Rey Mysterio; he runs to the right side of the stage and performs the same with purple pyrotechnics. He walks back a bit to the center of the stage and walks his way down the ramps, giving stray high-fives along the way. He slides in the squared circle, where he runs up to a corner and stands on the second turnbuckle with raised fists in the air.

"Up next, his partner: from Staten Island, New York, weighing in at 215 pounds, 'The Black Mamba' Jeremy Ellis!" Maria announces.

"There's that sneaky Ellis who finally got one over New Devastation when he knocked out Benjamin Strong III and put a snake in there. This wasn't any snake—this was the black mamba, one of the most poisonous snakes in the animal kingdom," Markiplier states. "Seriously, just how in the hell did he manage to put that snake in the room without being bitten by that little bastard?"

"What does it matter? That Ellis punk decided to be a huge sore loser and attack Ben and put that snake in the locker room! They did him a favor and he didn't appreciate it! Now with what he did, he's given himself a death sentence!" Barney implies.

("Never Lost" by Decyfer Down)

[Where could I go to escape from you?

Break from you?

If I move beyond eternity

You would be...

...

I fall every time, into another place

Where I always find, your single saving grace

Whether I have climbed, or fell into the blue

I'm never lost from you!

...

Never lost from you...]

Rei Miyamoto enters the light orange-brown lit stage with hands on her hips and a smirk on her face. She gives a small nod to the cheering crowd and walks down the ramp, passing high-fives along the way. She walks up the steps, stands in the middle of the apron, grabs the top rope, flips herself over them onto her feet, and smirks to the crowd. She then walks over to the ropes and stands on the middle rope, keeping her balance real well on it while looking at the fans before suddenly leaping onto the top rope, backflips off the rope, and lands on the feet perfectly. She stands straight with a small smile to the crowd, raising a finger up in the air and saying off-mic "Never lost from you."

"And their partner: from Tokonosu City, Japan, weighing in at 115 pounds, Rei Miyamoto!" Maria announces.

"Rei's in the same situation as Jeremy as she's enemies with Trish Warrington, Jimmy Carmichael's girlfriend. Both she and Trish became enemies the second Trish attacked Rei from behind after her loss, which she didn't like at all," Zack comments.

"You can't blame Warrington on that one, Carver. She found that loss as a fluke, which it was, and made Rei feel like the true loser on that night and did it again on last week's Ignition in the Six-Woman Tag Team Match," Barney asserts.

"Oh, come on, Trish barely laid a hand on Rei last week when she was getting her ass kicked! She got one shot over her with Beauty and the Knee after sneaking up on her from behind," Kenji utters.

...Is cooking...]

("Is Cooking (w/Hollywood Intro)" by Jim Johnston)

The crowd turns into loud boos as Jimmy Carmichael walks out to the stage with Trish Warrington in hand. The young Corporate Icon ambles down the ramp to the ring with Trish, who has a scowl like him as they glare at Jeremy in the ring. When they arrived at ring side, Jimmy and Trish separate and Carmichael climbs up to the turnbuckle and raising a right fist à la The Rock, inciting more boos from the fans as Warrington enters the ring, walking forward the ropes with a splayed arms and says off-mic: "I'm all about power, baby..." Trish performs a type of angel pose on the ropes before getting off and Jimmy enters the ring, both glaring at Ellis, who smirks and asks, "Did you like the gift?"

"Introducing their opponents next: from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, 'The Future Living Legend' Jimmy Carmichael, and from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 145 pounds, Trish Warrington!"

"And here comes the couple as they are in the ring...and they look PISSED," Zack states.

"Of course they are! They have the right to be after what Jeremy did to them on RAMPAGE!" Barney responses.

"You can't blame them, yes, but that was Jimmy's comeuppance for screwing over Ellis on his match, screwing over his chances to earn a spot at the Battle Royale," Kenji retorts. "He had enough of it and he finally took the chance to retaliate against New Devastation."

[AAAAAWWEEESSSSSOMMMMMEEEE!

I CAME TO PLAY!

I came to play; there's a price to pay

Time for you to get down on your knees and pray (I came to play!)

Say goodbye to the good old days

They're never coming back; watch your future fade (I came to play!)

I came to play, to get my dues paid

I guess you had a dream, but it can't be saved (I came to play!)

I'm here to stay, best get out of my way

(I came to play!)]

("I Came to Play" by Downstait)

The crowd comes to a high negative reaction as Zeke Cage struts out with a smug grin at the stage and his arms splayed out, Miz-style. He looks throughout the crowd with the same grin as his arms went down and starts walking down the ramp with his arms splayed out again. When he makes it to ringside, The young man makes it look like he was about to walk up the steel steps, but quickly turns back and slides on the apron à la The Miz, looking around the crowd with the cocky grin before stepping inside. He sees Kenshin at the corner as glares and Cage scoffs and waves him off to stand on the second turnbuckle and raises his hands up once more in a manner of The Miz.

[I came to play; there's a price to pay

I came to play...!]

"And their partner: from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 156 pounds, 'The C-Enigma' Zeke Cage!" Maria announces.

"Cage has recently come out the winner in his match against Dax in what was a brutal Falls Count Anywhere Match. He may be victorious but the scars, bruises, and marks on his body tells a different story," Markiplier affirms.

"They may, but Cage is the winner here, Mark. Not Dax—ZEKE MOTHER-F*CKING CAGE! He got retribution for being humiliated by him and Kenshin and now that he's out of the way, Kenshin is next to deal with in this match and soon at the Battle Royale next week on the go-home show before Rebellion, which he will arrive there after winning the Battle Royale and will win the International Championship, becoming the first-ever International Champion of ACW."

As both teams were the in their individual corners, it would be decided that Jimmy Carmichael and Kenshin Himura start this off. Referee Taylor Michaels has the rest in their corners and checks if both Kenshin and Jimmy are ready to go. When they nod, he calls signals the bell to start. Himura and Carmichael quickly enter the collar-and-elbow lockup, then the latter shifts behind him with his arms wrapped around the waist and slams him on the mat with the Belly-to-Back Side Suplex, trying to keep the samurai down. Kenshin slowly turns it around to sit on his backside and rises up to his feet as he hits a few Back Elbows to Jimmy's head. After ducking the next Back Elbow, Jimmy gets Kenshin flipped over with a Northern Lights Suplex, pinning him via bridge. Taylor drops down and counts the pin: 1—Kenshin pops the shoulder up...and leisurely arises to his feet with Jimmy in tow. They twist around as they battle to tug each other in a Backslide Pin, which Kenshin wins as he gets his shoulders down: 1, 2...Carmichael kicks out! Jimmy stands up and bounces off the ropes for a Running Front Dropkick to Kenshin, who catches the legs and catapults him towards a corner. The Future Living Legend lands his feet on the ropes and hops off with a Crossbody, landing on Kenshin with legs hooked...and Himura kicks out! Both men stand up away from each other with their eyes locked into one another as fans applaud their performance.

"A little history lesson here, Kenshin and Carmichael were known to be rivals at the time back in the developmental days. They know each other so well, their homework on each other has caught up to them in this match," Zack notes.

"Kenshin hanged on a little there, I'll give the guy that, but Jimmy certainly did beautifully in that exchange of wrestling maneuvers," Barney says.

Carmichael chuckles to himself with arms spread wide as he says, "Just like back in developmental, Ken...surprised you still got it." Kenshin cracks a small grin as he replies, "Who says I lost it?" Both men then get into another tie-up and Jimmy vaults him over with a Fireman's Carry Takeover and bends the arm back in a type of armbar. Kenshin sits up as his arm was being pulled back by Carmichael, feeling the pain slowly sinking into his limb as he lets out light grunts. He would drive down a few elbow shots to the shoulder, then wrenches the hold a little longer. Then, he stands up holding Kenshin's arm and kicks his face in after a tug. He tags in Zeke, who climbs up on the second turnbuckle as Carmichael brings Kenshin lying over his knee on his back, then Cage hops off to hit a stomp into his face. Jimmy exits the ring onto the apron as Zeke brags about his skills and the fans give a negative reaction. The C-Enigma turns back to Kenshin, who he brings up to his feet, Irish Whips to the ropes, and hits a Back Elbow off the rebound. He follows it up with a bounce off the rope and lands a pointed Elbow Drop to his chest, then Somersault Leg Drops his head and hops to his feet with splayed arms and a grin.

"Irritating and arrogant, you can't deny the skills this young man holds for himself. I can't forgo he may be a future champion one day," Markiplier states. "You can hate my opinion, but that is a fact as we're seeing it here."

"Thank you for speaking logical sense, Mark! Why can't you two be more like him, huh?" Barney asks Kenji and Zack.

"As much as I want to, the guy is too arrogant to take seriously," Zack answers.

"And I just don't plain like him," Kenji bluntly says.

Zeke has already climbed at the top rope, measuring Kenshin from the spot as he then soars for the Front Dropkick...and hits nothing but GROUND as Kenshin sidesteps him! Cage pops up to a seated position from landing on his back as Kenshin kicks his face, then tags in Jeremy Ellis! The Black Mamba hops inside to inciting cheers as Jimmy rushes in to get payback for what happened on RAMPAGE, but only receives a Running Single Leg Dropkick. Zeke gets up holding his nose as he turns Jeremy around and kicks his leg, bringing him down to both knees and drives his head down with the Snap DDT, quickly killing the momentum! (Barney: Oh, nice one, Zeke! Good thinking to kill the adrenaline at a fast pace! ; Kenji: Jeremy nearly had it for his team, but only for Cage to take it all away for him with that kneeling Snap DDT.) Zeke pins as Michaels counts: 1...2...Jeremy kicks out at 2.18. Zeke brings him to his feet up to his corner and has him facing Carmichael and Trish, who SLAPS Jeremy right in his face!

"Oh, was that even necessary?!" Zack queries.

"Yes, it was, Zachery. That is what the punk deserves for attacking Ben and putting that venomous snake in the room!" Barney retorts. "Justice is being made here tonight!"

Zeke asks if Jimmy wanted a piece of Ellis and Carmichael accepts the offer as he tags in and kicks him straight in the gut, then strikes a right hand over his temple, bringing him down to his knees and finishes it off with the Aneurysm (Seth Rollins' Avada Kadavra). He hooks the leg: 1, 2...Jeremy kicks out at two. Jimmy mounts on top of him and fires down fists into his skull out of fury as he shouts, "You wanna pull that bullsh*t on us, Ellis?! After the favor we gave ya?! Hope you're ready to pay!" He forcibly brings him to his feet and a Forearm Smash, sending him to the ropes. He pulls him with an Irish Whip, Jeremy bounces off and hops right over the bent-down Carmichael, grabbing his tights and rolls him up with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb: 1...2...Jimmy kicks out at 2.31! Both men roll to their feet and Jeremy catches him with a Kneeling Side Slam! He gets the cover again: 1, 2...Carmichael gets the foot on the rope! Ellis silently curses to himself, but keeps his composure as he brings Jimmy over to his team's corner and tags in Kenshin. He and the ECW Legend Irish Whip him to the ropes, he hits them—Trish blind-tags herself in—and Jeremy and Kenshin respectively hits a Hip Toss and a Japanese Arm Drag! The official tells them to leave as he informs that Trish tagged in and when they did while Warrington enters the ring, Rei Miyamoto strikes her down with a Springboard Savate Kick!

"Trish now the legal woman and Rei comes flying from the ropes, hitting the Savate Kick nicely!" Kenji shouts. "And now she's sending down fists to her temple!"

"Jimmy, get in there and pull that brat off your girl!" Barney exclaims.

Warrington blocks Rei's fists to no avail and out of desperation, she scratches her opponent's eyes out to escape! She quickly rolls out of the ring to regain herself as Rei was nursing her eye and Taylor scolded her to get back in the ring, but she yells at the referee to let herself recover. She wipes off her mouth what appears to be...BLOOD...just a small trickle of blood...and immediately, Trish gets PISSED. She clenches her fist and glares at the staggering Rei and says off-mic, "You make ME bleed, bitch? Oh, wait to piss me off...!" She gets onto the apron when Rei got close and grabs her by the hair and REI ROUNDHOUSE KICKS HER HEAD! Warrington is sent crashing down on the padded floor as Rei ascends the top turnbuckle and waits for her rival to get up. Once so, Rei soars from the top and lands Trish with a Diving Crossbody! (Markiplier: Crossbody from the top rope by Rei Miyamoto! And to the outside where Trish stands! ; Zack: Rei saw her coming despite the eye-raking and took the advantage by flying down to her opponent.) Rei forces Trish back in the ring and pins her for the cover: 1, 2...Jimmy shoves her off before the full three-count! Referee Michaels forebodes him to stay back on the apron just as Rei glared at him. She then grabs Trish, who twists her arm and pulls her into the Beautifier!

"Whoa, Beautifier out of nowhere! Trish took this time to recover thanks to her boyfriend and she played possum with Rei before nailing that High Knee," Barney says. "What a shot!"

"It was well scouted by Trish, I'll give her that. And now she's going for the pin. Could she get it?" Mark queries as Trish hooks Rei's leg: 1...2...Rei kicks out at 2.58! "Could she—no, she didn't get it! Rei manages a kick out at two and a half!"

Trish complains to the referee she had the full three-count, but he argues that Rei kicked out at two. Growling, she grabs Rei's hair and pulls her up to her feet, sticking her head between her legs as she says, "Time for you to get some foreign glamour, bitch." She lifts her up vertically, preparing to perform the Foreign Glamour. Trish then HAS REI ON HER SHOULDERS AS SHE PRECIPITOUSLY HITS A FRANKENSTEINER DRIVER! (Zack: HOLY FUDGEBALLS! Where the hell did that come from?! ; Markiplier: Frankensteiner Driver, spiking Trish's head on the mat! This is the advantage Rei needs to receive the momentum back for herself and her team! ; Barney: Come on, Trish! Get up, please! Get your hot ass up and come back from this!) Rei makes it to her feet first after some struggling and grabs Trish's head as she goes for the Springboard Bulldog, her Brain Dead finisher...and it connects! She turns Warrington over for the pin, hooking her leg: 1...2...Carmichael shoves her off once again! This causes Jeremy to run in and Flying Forearm Smashes him as Kenshin and Zeke go at it in the middle of the ring, chaos being made in the squared circle!

"Jimmy pulled Rei away from picking up the win and now all four men are exploding with each other in the ring!" Kenji shouts. "Kenshin is on Cage while Jeremy and Carmichael are trading blows!"

"Sometimes, tag teams matches can go right or wrong; for us at ACW, it may end in absolute chaos and this match is showing a prime example of that!" Zack exclaims.

As Jimmy is by the ropes, Jeremy takes a page from Mick Foley's book and Cactus Clotheslines him out of the ring with himself! With Zeke and Kenshin, the veteran is raining down fists on the rookie, who turns it around and lands various Forearm Smashes to his head before picking him up and pulling him to the ropes via Irish Whip. He looks for the Back Body Drop and receives a kick to the chest by Kenshin, who then throws the brash rookie out of the ring! He grabs the top rope and lands on Zeke with the Slingshot Crossbody! Back with the girls, Rei brings Trish up for the Brain Dead once again only to hit the turnbuckles from Trish's push. She goes down and now, Warrington begins to set up for the Beauty and the Knee as she rolls down her right kneepad with an evil grin. Rei favors her chest from hitting the turnbuckle as she slowly rises up to her knees and Trish speeds for her Beauty and the Knee...swinging her leg to her head...and REI ROLLS HER UP IN A SCHOOLGIRL PIN! (Kenji: ROLL UP! REI CATCHES TRISH WITH THE ROLL UP! ; Barney: NO WAY, NO WAY!) Taylor drops down for the pin: 1, 2, 3!

"Rei got it! She picks up the win for her team!" Zack states as the bell rings.

"HABUSKI! That's all she wrote!" Markiplier affirms.

"Aw, come on!" Barney complains.

("Never Lost" by Decyfer Down)

"The winners of this match: Kenshin Himura, Jeremy Ellis, and Rei Miyamoto!" Maria declares.

Rei rolls away and out of the ring as she smiles of her victory as Trish was surprised and fuming, screaming, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! A FRICKING ROLL-UP?!" Miyamoto stands up and walks around the ring to the ramps as she smirks at Trish in the ring while Kenshin and Jeremy join her. With Jimmy and Zeke, both men were furious as they argued on how could the latter let this happen when he tells the former that Trish is his girlfriend and that she's at fault along with him since he's responsible for not stopping the pin.

"What a way to kick off tonight's episode of Ignition with this fast-paced tag action as Rei, Jeremy and Kenshin pick up the win," Kenji says. "It was all Zeke, Carmichael and Trish last week, but this time, they got one over them with the surprise roll up."

"Oh, come on, that roll up was bull! I demand a rematch!" Barney requests.

"Whether you like it or not, that's how it ended. Honestly, Trish does not look happy about this surprise upset and that's gotta make Rei smile," Zack states. "Kenshin's got Zeke in the Battle Royale, Jeremy may get Jimmy at Rebellion, and as for Rei and Trish...who knows what they'll do?"

Kenshin raises both Jeremy and Rei's arms up as they stand in victory while Trish glared and Zeke and Jimmy argued. Rei smirks at Warrington and says while pointing, "I got your number, Warrington...only a matter of time before I beat you again like two weeks ago on RAMPAGE."


Backstage, inside a locker room, Eddy was readying "Edback" up for his Handicapped Match coming up tonight as Ed was gulping down loads of gravy and buttered toast from a tub like a monster while Edd...well, he only stood away from them as he shudders at Ed's ravenous appetite to keep up with his gimmick and is taping up his hands, then Clarissa Rivera comes into the room with a microphone.

"Excuse me, Eds, may I have a—good God!" Clarissa yells briefly at the sight of Ed gobbling his food before throwing the tub overhead and shouts for more. "...Uh..."

"Let them be, Miss Rivera...you have something to ask for us?" Edd asks.

"Oh, yes, um, for these past two weeks since Ignition I, you three have been dealing with the new degenerate group known as Smosh and I'm wondering where this may end up between you all," Clarissa says.

"Let me correct you for a moment, Miss Rivera. I am not dealing with those scoundrels known as Ian and Anthony of Smosh, (points to Ed and Eddy) they are. I am having no part of this rivalry as these four are going to act like barbarians," Double D states. "The only business I have to deal with is the International Championship Tourney and I plan to win it, if I do say so myself."

"Yeah, yeah, while you do that and look pretty, Sockhead, I'll be having Lumpy beat the snot and respect out of those degenerate posers," Eddy implies. "Here's what I got to say, Clarissa; these two don't wanna give me and my boys respect after I offered to take them under my wing... Now, they're idiots for doing that because I could've helped them—a rare act of kindness from me, Eddy, but nope. They decided to be disrespectful dirt bags. And you know, it's funny that last week they challenge Monobrow to a match when they should be intimidated by his new gimmick...which they call 'unoriginal'. Here's a little tip for them, if they want to be real degenerates, they're gonna have to step up their game since their promo last week was not enough...and they made the biggest mistake of their lives by calling out Ed for a match. They want it, they got it. Now...they will soon get a taste of what EDBACK is about."

As Eddy finished that sentence, Ed suddenly throws over an empty refrigerator, a crashing sound heard off-screen and he chants, "FEED ED SMOSH! FEED ED SMOSH! FEED ED SMOSH!"

Clarissa blinks twice and utters, "Uh...thank you for your time, guys..." She slowly backs away from the Eds—more specifically, Ed—and exits the room as Ed starts gobbling down on another refrigerator as Edd was disgusted and pinched his nose bridge while Eddy rubs his hands together with a large evil grin.

[Commercial Break]


Returning from the break, a wrestling match clip from RAMPAGE is seen on a television screen as it features James Griffin vs. Mason Stone. The camera pans out to reveal the new ACW Intercontinental Champion, James Griffin as he watches his match with a cocky grin on his face and the title draped over his shoulder.

"All that hard work I've done and the bull crap I've been through in this company...it finally paid off. I guess it was pretty worth it," James smirks as he dusts off his belt. "Heh...that match was too easy for me to win."

"Is it, you say?"

James's ears perked at that voice and turns around...to face Dante, the ACW United States Champion. The Crimson Showstopper, grinning, holds his belt over his shoulder as he walks up to the new Intercontinental Champion.

"Well, well...if it isn't the soon-to-be former United States Champion, Dante... What brings you here to me, old man?" James asks with a raised eyebrow.

"What brings me here is I would like to congratulate you winning that Intercontinental Championship from Stone. Especially that you said it was 'easy'...when he really made you work for it," Dante states. "I fought the guy before...and believe me, he surely knew how to fight and I liked the challenge he gave me."

"Pff, right. Only reason it's a challenge because at your age in these days, you can barely keep up," James scoffs.

Dante raises an eyebrow at that snarky comment and sneers, "Heh...you think so, Griffin?"

"Oh, I don't think...I know so," James implies, keeping his smug grin on his face.

"Huh...so you don't think. Good to know," Dante chuckles.

"Real funny..." James scowls.

"Thank you, I'll be here all week," Dante mockingly smiles.

"Okay, smartass, here's a suggestion for you. Instead of you talking, how about we settle with you tucking your tail between your legs and walking away from me, huh?" James suggests. "You can do that and I don't have to pound your pretty face in."

"Mm, nah. Actually, I got a better idea. Me and you...tomorrow night...RAMPAGE. The United States Champion versus the Intercontinental Champion," Dante smirks, the crowd cheering in the background. "What do ya say?"

James got curious on that match suggestion and thinks on it...then grins, "You're on, Dante...hope your back doesn't go out on you when I slam you on the mat."

"Heh...if anything...you should be ready for me, kid... I'll be showing you that I'm still in my prime," Dante proclaims. "To sum it up...try to keep up with me...the Crimson Showstopper...'kay?"

Dante then mockingly pats James's cheek a bit hard and the Intercontinental Champion scoffs at him before leaving. The Crimson Sparda continues his smirk on his face as he watches his opponent for RAMPAGE leave, then would start walking away himself...but is confronted by the ACW Television Champion, Luke Smith. Both men kept their eyes on each other considering they may meet in the Fatal 4-Way soon at Rebellion. Luke adjusts his belt as he takes his departure, leaving Dante behind to stare at him while the camera slowly zooms on the devil hunter.


"Guess we got another match to look forward to on RAMPAGE, guys. Tomorrow, we are going to have a Champion vs. Champion match between Dante and James Griffin!" Markiplier proclaims. "I don't think neither of us on this table can wait for that."

"Yeah, I don't think we can wait to see Griffin show Dante what the power of an Intercontinental Champion is all about," Barney grins.

"I think that's just you, Stinson," Kenji implies.

"I stand by what I said," Barney defends...as the lights go out and the Eye of Anubis is seen on the Titantron as it "looks" around the arena. "Here we go again..."

("Dark Passenger" by Fozzy)

[Jesus is my co-pilot

Or that's just what they say

But it's not the savior

Who guides me every day

The soul that's deep inside of me

Once so clean and pure

Now a festering sore

A pain I can't endure]

Darkness continues consuming the whole arena as the Eye of Anubis slowly blinks twice and another small golden glow appears at the stage, then a spotlight moves up to it. It hits right on Atem as he is seen with a stern expression mixed with furious anger, the Eye of Anubis glowing bright on his forehead as the darkness surrounding him turn dim into crimson red and Atem starts walking to the ring. The Pharaoh marches down the ramps with the still dark expression on his face and turns to walk on the steps and enters the ring. Atem stands his feet on the top and second rope while gazing at the crowd and grows a dark scowl before hopping off to do the same on the other side and raises a fist with his World Tag Title in hand.

[Tick, tick-tock...

It's only a matter of time...

And when that stranger arrives...

He's my dark passenger!

Won't leave me be!

He's my dark passenger!

Won't set me free!

From my dark passenger!]

"The following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first: from Domino City, Japan, weighing at 215 pounds, he is one-half of the ACW World Tag Team Champions, 'The Pharaoh' Atem!" Maria announces.

"The manifestation on Atem's face says it all...he's pissed. It's as simple as that," Zack states.

"Over what? His little buddy, Yugi, being hurt after the demolition The Symbiotes put them through last week? C'mon, they've been through worse; they went through ECW, for Pete's sake," Barney scoffs.

"But with the Symbiotes' Venomous Carnage? I don't think anyone can make it through that sickening tag team finisher," Kenji argues. "The first time they tired that finisher to the local competitors down in AIW, one of them was nearly paralyzed from the waist down!"

"Oh...that does sound ugly... Then again, Kenny, they were jobbers...Yugi's a vet...he's had worse. So don't argue with me because this is a fight you're not going to win," Barney says as Kenji facepalms.

("Rebellion" by CFO$)

Lights flash red and black all over the arena as the camera stares up at the Titantron and two silhouettes slowly rise up in the darkness and soon, the spotlight shines on the two figures to reveal Venom and Carnage and the fans let out a loud roar of cheers. With a heavy breath, Venom and Carnage snarl and let out a ferocious loud bellow as they head their way to the ring. Carnage and Venom separate when they reached ringside as they went around and the Red Symbiote climbs onto the apron, looking throughout the crowd with a sinister grin and slithers backwards into the ring, laughing sinisterly as Venom stomps towards him from behind. Carnage pounds his hands on the mat as Venom huffs and the two Symbiotes let out a screeching roar as their long tongues were sticking out and swinging around in a pose à la The Ascension. Venom raises both fists while Carnage laughs maniacally and they make a menacing stare towards Atem, who stands outside the ring glaring at them.

"And his opponent: accompanied by Carnage, from New York City, New York, weighing in at 289 pounds, Venom!" Maria announces.

"Still as menacing as ever, these two old school villains desecrated the Tag Team Champions all in one night on their debut. Not everyone has ever done that within our eyes in ACW until The Symbiotes," Kenji annotates.

"If you're going to talk about power and speed, this is the perfect mixture of the two as Venom and Carnage demonstrated it to Altered Egos last week on Ignition II," Barney acclaims. "You can consider what they did and putting themselves as the next contenders for the World Tag Team Championships hotshotting, but I like to think that they have made an impact on them."

"Taking an example from Beowulf's debut, since he appeared on the night after Southern Hell, made an impact on Naruto, and defeated him later in the night, it's considered a huge upset by everyone around here," Mark analogizes. "Rarely anyone can make impact on their debut by defeating a champion, but Beowulf did it and now, so did Venom and Carnage."

Carnage steps out of the ring to stand at ringside while Venom and Atem locate themselves at their respective corners and referee John Benoit, after verifying if both wrestlers are set, calls for the bell to ring. Once the sound was heard, Venom and Atem very slowly circle the ring as Carnage cackles a bit loudly, "How's little Yugi handling his injury, Pharaoh?!" Yami Yugi only snarls at the Red Symbiote in response as he glowers at Venom, who sickly grins while motioning to his left arm and says, "See this? ...This is the arm that nearly decapitated your friend's head...I wonder how he'll like a second dose of Venomous Carnage?" This made Atem more livid as the Eye of Anubis glows on his forehead and the two get in an aggressive collar-and-elbow lockup. Atem held is guard well in the lockup, but Venom proved to be more powerful as he heaves him away with pure strength! Atem rolls back against the corner as he is surprised by Venom's amount of might. The Pharaoh deliberately rises to his feet and both he and Venom get into another aggressive collar-and-elbow lockup; yet again, Venom shoves Atem away and charges him at the corner with a Corner Clothesline—and crashes into the turnbuckles as Atem moves out of the way! Yami turns him around and delivers a frantic series of Shoot Kicks to the chest, then hops off the ropes to nail a Springboard Dropkick!

"Atem saw Venom coming as he ran for the Clothesline, but he got to be one step ahead of him with those kicks and the Dropkick!" Markiplier observes. "The fury he's kept for the whole week is being let out on Venom!"

As Venom sits down against the corner, Atem places him in the Tree of Woe, heads to the other side and darts straight at him with a Dropkick straight to the face! Venom plummets from the Tree of Woe after the Dropkick and Atem pulls away to pin him as Benoit counts it: 1, 2—Venom kicks out at two. Atem gets the Symbiote on his feet and Irish Whips him to the ropes, the Venom bounces off and he strikes a vicious European Uppercut, knocking Atem down! Eddie then forcibly drags Atem on his feet with one hand by the head and pushes him to the ropes, and as soon as he bounces off, Venom drills him with a Spinning Side Slam followed by a huge Leg Drop! He covers him with the leg hooked: 1, 2—Atem gets the shoulder up at 2.14! Venom gets him up again and looks for a repeat, but Atem takes him down with a Single Leg Front Dropkick! (Zack: Venom thought of going for the same attack again, but Atem is not falling for that! ; Barney: A second time he thought it was a charm, but that only backfired...damn it!) Atem runs to the ropes again and takes down Eddie once more with a Leaping Flying Clothesline! Feeling great momentum, The Pharaoh grabs tight onto Venom and plants the Millennium Effect on him, then follows it up with the Yamisault!

"Millennium Effect and a Yamisault, both connecting flawlessly from The Pharaoh! He's on fire right now and he's not planning to stop!" Markiplier exclaims.

"But I think Carnage is planning to himself," Barney states, motioning to Carnage standing on the apron and distracting referee Benoit.

Atem had Venom's leg hooked before seeing the official being distracted...and just when Carnage was about to step down as he saw his plan complete, Atem is suddenly seen flying over the top rope with a SUICIDE DIVE, UNDERTAKER STYLE! (Kenji and Zack: HOLY SH*T! ; Markiplier: THE PHARAOH HAS GONE FLYING ON TOP OF KASADY! ; Barney: NOT COOL, MAN! NOT COOL!) Atem rolls off Carnage as fans cheer and he gets on the apron, then climbs up to the top rope. He stands high on the top rope while Venom was supine on the mat and with a grin, he lets a Hardy shout and dives off with a Leg Drop...and MISSES the mark! Venom rolls to his feet as he then blasts him down with a Big Boot! He hooks his leg for the quick pin: 1...2...Atem pops his shoulder up at 2.63! He now begins to take his time wearing his opponent down by choking him on the second rope with his knee on his neck, John counting and warning Eddie to let go: 1...2...3...4...4.9 Venom backs away as the referee warns him...and Carnage nails Atem with an Elbow Smash! (Kenji: Well, that's just adding insult to injury. A cheap shot by Carnage. ; Barney: No, Lenny, that's just noticing a golden opportunity and seizing it.) Atem holds his head in pain while Venom finished getting his warning from the referee and he stares down at the champion. He chuckles evilly as he says, "How the mighty have fallen, Pharaoh...not as strong as you used to be... You got nothing on me or Carnage...when we're through with you for your belts, we're destroying you and that little Yugi boy," and screeches in a pose before looking to grab Atem...

...

...WHO SUDDENLY SITS UP AS IF HE IS BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD AND CLUTCHES ONTO HIS THROAT!

"WHOA! Pharaoh Atem has awaken!" Zack cries.

"And he is PISSED! He's got Eddie Brock in his clutches and he's not going to let go!" Kenji shouts.

"There's no way he can pick him up at his size! ...Can he?!" Barney questions.

Atem rises up to his vertical base clutching onto Venom's throat tightly...and lifts him onto his SHOULDERS, signaling for the Pharaoh's Tomb! Fans cheer loudly as Atem looks for it, but drops Venom as Carnage runs in with The Red Death...and misses it! Atem kicks him in the gut and drills him with the Pharaoh's Endgame! While Carnage escapes the ring in agony, Atem grabs Venom for the Pharaoh's Tomb once again, but gets reversed as he is on Venom's shoulders now! He switches it into a Canadian Backbreaker Rack as he plants an Inverted Front Powerslam, then brings him back up again for the Venomous Termination (Neutralizer)...and he hits it!

"Oh, yeah! Venom gets it all on Atem! Pharaoh, this is where I say," Barney begins as referee Benoit drops down for the pin.

"Bada Bing!"

2...

"Bada Boom!"

...THE OFFICIAL GETS PULLED OUT...BY STAN TERRA!

"Forget About—what the hell?! Who's the ass that pulled the referee out of—oh, crap, it's Stan Terra," Barney says.

"And look who else is with him!" Markiplier shouts as Venom was hissing at The Omega and receives a HUGE Big Boot from "The Alpha" Carter Young!

Carter mounts Eddie with a fury of punches as Carnage gets in the ring and Terra smashes his head with a steel chair in hand! Stan nails the chair onto Kasady persistently with malicious authority while Carter screams in Venom's face, "You wanna take our earned title shot at the tag belts, you old f*ck?! You're gonna have to get through Alpha & Omega first! We got here first!" The Alpha drags Venom up to his feet and drives him shoulder-first into the turnbuckle pole!

"Alpha & Omega are invading the ring! They're demolishing The Symbiotes!" Zack shouts.

"Young and Terra are showing they're not going anywhere! They are not through with the tag title hunt just yet!" Barney yells.

Carnage gets picked up by Stan, who then drills him with an Omega Finale on the steel chair! He and Carter stand together as they measure Venom stepping away from the corner and once he turned around...Alpha & Omega strike him down with the Beginning of the End—Venom catches them midway! He lifts Alpha & Omega on both shoulders as he hits a Double Canadian Backbreaker Drop!

"Backbreaker Drop on Alpha & Omega! Venom is still standing tall in the Chesapeake Energy Arena as the fans cheer for this!" Kenji states as Venom bellows.

The Black Symbiote grips onto Carter's head as he slowly brings him up to his feet, snarling at his incompetence for attacking him and Carnage. He would start to crush his head slowly as the clasp was kept on for long and gets a kick between his legs by Stan Terra! Brock lets go of Young, who hooks his arms tight and drives his head down on the mat via Alpha Driver!

"Low blow from The Omega and an Alpha Driver from Carter!" Markiplier winces. "Venom's a bastard, but you can't help but feel his pain from that kick below the belt."

"I can agree with you there, Mark," Barney cringes as he observes what's happening. "Carnage is getting up...and it looks like he's about to get caught in another crossfire by the recruits of the Rookie Revolution. Kasady, better get out of there, man!"

The Red Symbiote sluggishly reaches his vertical base as Carter and Stan were standing in front and behind him separately and they nod to each other before striking the symbiote son of Venom with a Discus Big Boot (Young) / Running Legsweep (Terra) combination!

"Carnage taken out by Alpha & Omega with the unique tag team maneuver!" Kenji calls. "My God...Carter and Stan have actually brought down The Symbiotes...!"

"THAT...is something unheard of until now..." Zack utters as Carter and Stan raised their fists.

"Hail Alpha & Omega… All Hail the Revolution!" both rookies shout with pride and their fists held high to a jeering crowd before they see Atem groaning in the corner. He holds his stomach as he still feel the effects of Venom's Venomous Termination and notices A&O in the ring glaring at him. Young points straight at him as he states, "We'll deal with you later, Atem..." before leaving the ring with Stan as "Alpha & Omega" by Stratovarius. Both men back up to the ramps as Venom and Carnage were groaning and struggling to stand up, the rookies apparently doing a job well accomplished against the vets.

"The Symbiotes desecrated by Alpha & Omega...again, it is something unheard of until now," Zack says.

"Either they've made a huge impact on the former UWE Duos Champions...or they've made the biggest mistake of their careers and gotten themselves in something they'll never get out of," Markiplier gulps.


Transitioning to the backstage, Carter and Stan were just moving out of the Gorilla Position to the hallway, where Jeff Dunham with Walter alongside catches up to them.

"Stan! Carter!" Jeff calls, catching their attention. "You guys...have just destroyed Venom and Carnage... My God, I never thought I'd say nor hear that in my life. Um...what I'm trying to say is—"

"Are you two trying to get yourselves killed, you dumb sh*ts?!" Walter shouts, earning a glare from Jeff and A&O while the audience chuckles in the background. "I mean, that was Venom and Carnage we're talking here!"

Ignoring what Walter said, Carter replies, "We will say this...what we did is a statement tonight and we absolutely have no regrets for what we've done to those bastards. They wanna insert themselves into the tag title hunt? Oh, they should get their asses to the back of the line because Stan and I were here first!"

"We've been here since the first episode of ACW and we've stuck by this company despite management problems considering our status as RR members. (pulls out RR Armband) You see this, Dunham?" Stan asks as he holds up his armband. "This is the faction that Carter and I joined for a good reason. We joined because were sick of being played as the veterans' food to feed their egos because they defeated a couple of jobbers in the first month. We got nowhere...but this group has helped us out so much through thick and thin and you know what happened? We, along with James Griffin, defeated Ash Ketchum and The Second City Saints at Spring Breakdown."

"Then come Reign in Blood, we were damn close to win our tag belts...but we didn't...and now you have Venom and Carnage, who came into our business by beating Altered Egos, the ACW World Tag Team Champions, in ONE NIGHT and immediately declare themselves the #1 contenders for the tag belts!" Carter states. "Did anyone forget that we fought Yugi Mutou and Atem on our debut and beat them first? Oh, no surprise, I guess they did considering how biased fans can f*cking be. And now they want to declare The Symbiotes as the new contenders for the tag belts just to feed their damn egos and give them their 'one last run'. Those are the tag belts we've been coming after since we got here...we're not letting that happen."

"We understand the stakes considering those guys we've taken out are the most dangerous tag teams in history...and we're going to take that risk... Then again...I don't think we need to as we've just flattened them TONIGHT on Ignition. They've beaten Altered Egos on their debut...and now we've done the same to Venom and Carnage. We've made our own impact...now it's time to claim what's ours soon enough," Stan claims. "If those old bastards have a problem with that, they should meet us tomorrow on Saturday Night RAMPAGE...let's see if they 'still got it'..."

Alpha & Omega take their departure from Jeff, who can't help but worry what may happen with his head shaking…while Walter says, "...Dumbasses," and Dunham grows a plain-face to his puppet's comment.

[Commercial Break]


Cameras return to the event as we see the Chesapeake Energy Arena from the outside and the crowds are heard cheering loudly at the sight of it while "Ignition" by TobyMac is playing in the background.

"We come to you ACW fans live from the Chesapeake Energy Arena as your Commentary Team of the Year speaks to you from the announce table," Markiplier says. "Just before the commercial break, *replay* we've witnessed Alpha & Omega interfering with the match between Venom and Atem and they have utterly destroyed The Symbiotes, making their mark to the former Tag Champions."

"And they said that if The Symbiotes are going to be the next contenders for the tag titles, they're gonna have to get through Alpha & Omega as they were here first. You can say they've sealed their fates, I say they're were courageous enough to step in and take what belongs to them," Barney nods.

"Think you're courageous enough to join Alpha & Omega's cause, Stinson?" Kenji asks with a sneer.

"I'm fine where I am in this announce table, thank you, Sonny," Stinson glares.


We head into the interview zone, where Mike "The Mic" Martin stands alone with a mic in hand as he grins.

"Evening, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Mike 'The Mic' Martin and with me at this time is the 'Genocidal Giant' Rogen Townsend," Mike introduces as the camera pans out to reveal Townsend himself, his face covered with some bruises and a patch on his nose bridge from his Reign in Blood match as he's wearing sunglasses. "Rogen, in a few moments, you will be facing Double D in the International Championship Tourney in order to join the Battle Royale, but I must ask why are you joining this when last month, you were very determined to be the Undisputed Champion?"

"See, mate...bearing in mind that this deal is now between Naruto and Sasuke, I seemingly can't get involved... I suppose I'll deal with that later because the second whether it is Naruto or Sasuke that wins, either one of those men are at their weak state, I'll come in to further the damage...but for now, I think being the first giant wrestler to win the ACW International Championship and becoming the inaugural said champion seems like a goal to gain, no?" Rogen smirks. "Once I win my match, I will be breaking the curse of the big man being eliminated from the Royale and go on to—(sees lights flicking for a few seconds before stopping) ...Huh...that's some strange wiring, mate. Someone better fix that... As I was saying—aah!" Rogen shouts when a spotlight fixture crashed right next to him and Mike as they moved quickly.

He pants a bit while Mike was nearly scared to death from that light fixture close to landing on their heads. "What the bloody hell was that?!" Rogan questions. "Seriously, someone has got to get that sealed tight! Idiots… Okay, before I go, Martin, I have this to finish...I will go on to the Fatal 4-Way, desecrate Dante, Griffin, and whoever is the TV Champ by the end of the day, and become the next International Champion. Oh...and I'm not lying...I'm just being honest."

With a wicked grin, Rogen leaves the area to head to the Gorilla Position.


"Rogen's pretty confident in himself, don't you think, guys?" Barney asks.

"He would seem so despite what had happened back there. Lucky he didn't get hit by the light fixtures," Kenji says.

The crowd goes into loud cheers as the lights turn dark all around the arena before green pyro started raining down near Edd "Double D" Remington, who appears standing at the stage between the pyro, with his back turned on the ring. He instantly turns to face the cheering crowd with a large smile on his face and his arms thrown to the side à la AJ Styles as the lights turn back on with a dim green color. He smiles upon the crowd before splaying his arms out as he makes a DX crotch chop, signaling green pyro to shoot up from the stage in formation of an X three times before making a huge one with one last crotch chop. He starts walking down the ramp and high-fives fans along the way, then slides inside the ring and raises a finger, and reaches to the top turnbuckle with arms crossed overhead to represent the X-Family.

"The following contest is set for the International Championship Tourney! Introducing first: from Peach Creek, weighing in at 171 pounds, Edd!" Maria announces.

"You can see Edd as a geek and a nervous man due to his character, but when he's in the ring and making his entrance, he's a whole different character. This veteran is known the best out of all the Eds for his high-flying skills when he's in a match," Markiplier notes. "You can see the look on his face that he's looking forward to this tourney. He and his friends for the Trio Tag Team Championships, but since that failed, he's looking forward to get his own gold while the Eds deal with Smosh."

"That's easier to say than having this geek perform his maneuvers once he faces the next guy that comes out of that stage," Barney says.

(Hail, Genocide! by GWAR)

[They show you no mercy

They just show you a line

Call it a chaos, a curse or a crime

Call it what you will, but I call it genocide

Genocide, genocide, hail, hail

Genocide, genocide!

Genocide, genocide, hail, hail

Genocide, genocide!]

The crowd bursts into boos as Rogen Townsend rides out to the stage through the curtain on his motorcycle, wearing an Oklahoma City Barons hockey jersey. The Genocidal Giant revs the engines up and rides down the ramps to the ring. Rogen circles around the ring three times before making a stop and flipping the kickstand down. Rogen stands from his motorcycle as he steps onto the ring apron and over the top rope. He looks to the crowd and raises both fists in the air, receiving more boos from the crowd. Rogen lowers his arms before removing his sunglasses and his hockey jersey.

"And his opponent: from Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, standing at 7 feet tall, weighing in at 301 pounds, Rogen Townsend!" Maria announces.

"Rogen earlier stated to Mike backstage that since he won't be involved in the rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke, he's gonna wait for his opportunity and strike against whoever is the Undisputed Champion; won't matter if it is Naruto or Sasuke," Zack says. "As so, he's going to look forward in defeating Edd, entering the Battle Royale and winning it—as he proclaims—along with the Fatal 4-Way."

"After getting screwed over by getting punched in the face with his own chain from Naruto, I think Rogen is playing smart to let him and Sasuke tear each other apart before he can go for the kill to come after the Undisputed Championship once again," Barney believes. "With his size, it's so obvious he's got one over the dweeb."

"You forget Edd is the smart one of the Eds, so he may have quick feet. And just saying, this is a David and Goliath match we're seeing here due to their huge differences in size," Markiplier analogizes.

Edd and Rogen stand at their separate corners as referee Nickolas Alba calls for the bell, signaling the match to start. Both men walk to the center of the ring as Rogen looks down at Edd while he looks up at him, slightly gulping at the size advantage. Rogen smirks as he backs away from Double D, then suddenly Big Boots him...no, Edd ducked it and Dropkicks him from behind! Rogen is sent to the ropes as Edd hits a Dropsault to try and knock him back and attempts another Dropkick, but falls on his back as Rogen halts at the ropes and brutally Clotheslines him! He follows it up with a huge Leg Drop on his head before covering him: 1, 2—Edd kicks out. Rogen pushes Edd up to the ropes and hits about three Shoulder Thrusts to him against the turnbuckles. As Edd falls to a seated position, Rogen rakes his foot across his face before pulling him up by the legs and slamming him back down on the mat from the high air.

"Double D tried his best to get the momentum quickly over Rogen, but with his size, he seems be dominating right now," Zack annotates.

"He's intelligent, but at this point, his brains may get scrambled as Rogen continues destroying him," Barney states with a grin.

Double D cringes in reaction as his back hit the mat and Rogen grins vilely before stepping on his spine and putting his whole weight on top of him with hands on the ropes as he flails around. Referee Alba admonishes him to step off as he counts: 1...2...3...4...4.2 Rogen backs away with a smug grin as Edd rolls outside in outright pain. Townsend follows his opponent and grabs him for an Irish Whip to the apron, his ribs colliding against the edge of the ring! (1!... 2!...) Double D's face scrunches up in pain while Rogen raises a fist with the two words, "Hail, Genocide!" Fans boo loudly at him, but he didn't give a damn what they think as brings him up to his feet and shoves him into the ring, Alba stopping at the count of three. As Double D slowly rolls away from Rogen to recover, said Genocidal Giant quickly grabs him by the neck before he may do so and pushes him towards a corner, where he lands a few Back Elbows to the head and Knee Strikes to the gut before flinging him over across the ring with a vast Hip Toss. Rogen taunts at Edd's pain with splayed arms as he shouts proudly, "Hail Genocide!", then walks over to clutch onto his throat tightly for a Chokeslam. "Hope you like the ride up by my hand, little boy," grins Townsend as he lifts him high off his feet...

"Rogen going the Chokeslam!" Mark calls.

"Oh, this was too easy! Bye-bye, Double Dweeb!" Barney laughs.

...AND EDD TURNS IT AROUND INTO AN ARM DRAG FOLLOWED BY A PIN WITH THE LEG HOOKED! (Barney: WHOA, WHAT THE HELL?! How is that even possible?! ; Kenji: Double D has the pin!) 1, 2—Rogen powers out at two and when both men got up...Townsend gets a Loss of Intelligence, the Pelé Kick, right into the head! Rogen still stands on his feet as he stumbles and Edd takes this chance to leap on the second rope and attacks Rogen with the Edd-cyclopedia (Springboard Moonsault onto a standing opponent transitioned into an Inverted DDT)! (Zack: Edd-cyclopedia connects from the intelligent Ed! He's now on top of this match! ; Barney: C'mon, Townsend, you're seriously gonna let this wimp beat you?!) Edd quickly grabs Rogen's leg for the pin: 1, 2—Rogen kicks out at 2.46! Edd stands and measures the giant up to his knees and Shoot Kicks his chest at a time to the crowd chanting "YES! YES! YES!" à la Daniel Bryan. After around fifteen kicks to the chest, Edd goes for the kill with a Roundhouse Kick...and misses it and Rogen suddenly lifts him on his shoulders! Townsend holds Edd up on the shoulders as he prepares to crash him down with an Electric Chair Drop...but gets caught in a Sunset Flip Powerbomb! Shoulders are pinned: 1...2...Rogen kicks out at 2.62! Edd rolls to his feet and hits the Busaiku Knee Kick right into a kneeling Rogen!

"Busaiku Knee Kick to the face of Townsend! Edd keeps his momentum going here at a quick pace! And now he's going to climb the top rope," Zack calls. "Edd believes it is time to end this match as Rogen is flat on his back."

"No! No, I refuse to believe it is gonna be over like this instant! Get up, Rogen! Hurry before that dweeb wins one over you!" Barney pleads.

Once Double D ascended the top turnbuckle, he stands tall as fans cheer loudly for his victory to ensure and leaps forward with a backflip, going for the Edducational Press and lands it ON THE MAT! (Markiplier: Edd went for the Edducational Press, but nobody was home! ; Barney: Oh, that was too close. Well scouted, Rogen!) Rogen rolled away as Edd clenches his stomach in sheer agony after missing the mark. Townsend takes this chance to recover, but it took a while as he was still shaking the cobwebs off from the Knee Kick before. After that, the Genocidal Giant walks over to Edd and brings him up to put his head in a Standing Headscissors as he raises a right fist, signaling for the Genocide. He creates a smirk on his face as he brings Edd on his shoulders and lifts him high by the waist...and Edd slips off...and nails the Loss of Intelligence right at his head! But Rogen stays on his feet, slightly stumbling...before Edd nails his head again with a Springboard Roundhouse Kick, Wipe Your Feet! Rogen is STILL standing, but now trying to make sure he doesn't lose his balance...and Edd leaps on the ropes again...and forays his opponent with a Springboard Forearm Smash! Townsend staggers as he's close to going down...and Edd backs up for a Running Single Leg Front Dropkick...and ROGEN SIDESTEPS HIM...followed by a bounce off the ropes...AND TURNS EDD INSIDE OUT WITH THE WORLD COMING DOWN!

"If those kicks weren't enough to bring Rogen down, then a Forearm Smash from the ropes could! Edd is going for the Shotgun Kick—WORLD COMING DOWN!" Kenji shouts. "ROGEN RETALIATES WITH THE WORLD COMING DOWN, TURNING HIS OPPONENT INSIDE OUT!"

"AW, HELL YEAH! Way to counter, Rogen!" Barney exclaims happily. "That guy played a total possum to Edd and outsmarted him! Pin him, Rogen! Pin him and make your words come to life tonight!"

Townsend slowly finishes shaking the cobwebs off his head from the kicks and forearm attack and turns Edd around on his back and covers him with shoulders down.

"And this is where I say," Barney begins as Alba drops down for the pin: 1...

"Bada Bing!"

2...

"Bada Boom!"

...

...EDD REACHES HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE JUST AS NICKOLAS NEARLY REACHED THE THREE-COUNT AND THE REFEREE SEES IT!

"Forget About It! Rogen wins—HOW?! HOW?! A ROPE BREAK?! BUT ROGEN DESTROYED THE LITTLE BASTARD!" Barney exclaims angrily. "How in God's name did he get a rope break?!"

"It seems Rogen didn't outsmart the brainy Ed after all! Edd, while hurt from the WCD, rolled to the ropes and knew that Rogen would be too dazed to even notice it!" Markiplier realizes. "Townsend didn't outsmart his opponent—he got outsmarted by Double D! That is damn clever!"

"Rogen is speechless, guys! Take a look at his expression! He's at despair now; he's gotta be thinking, 'What do I have to do to put my opponent down?!'" Zack states.

Townsend, stunned with mouth agape, held his head as he was damn near confused to how this could've happened...and realizes Double D had outsmarted him, he was one step ahead of the giant. Now angry and gritting his teeth, Rogen slowly drags Edd up on his feet and places his head in a Standing Headscissors. (Kenji: Genocide about to come to play; despite much of Edd's best effort's to hang with Rogen, he couldn't be able to do so. ; Barney: This just goes to show that brawns are over brains this time.) Rogen raises his right fist once more and immediately hoists Edd onto his shoulders for the Genocide, then elevates him high in the sky...and all of a sudden, the lights flickered...and go out, the entire arena going dark!

"Are you serious?! Are we getting a power outage here in this damn building?!" Barney complains.

"No...I can still hear you through my headset, Stinson... I don't think this is any power outage," Kenji says.

"Well, whatever it is, those technicians better fix this! They're ruining Rogen's chances of getting into the Battle Royale!" Barney faults and then something happens at the Titantron. "What the—who's messing around with the screen?"

"I got an ominous feeling about this now..." Markiplier gulps.

Static was silently heard and shown on the Titantron as it starts to grow loud in a screeching sound before suddenly displaying an eerie, cryptic message. The static screen was blurring out a word or more, but it was slowly made out into..."LE...GAN". The Titantron suddenly turns off and the lights come back on...to leave behind a confused Rogen and crowd as they wonder what just happened and what that message meant. Ignoring it for now, Rogen goes back for Edd...WHO POPS OUT AT HIM WITH A STIFF STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI TO THE SKULL!

"OH, SNAP! Where did Edd come from?!" Zack exclaims.

"That cryptic message was enough to distract Rogen and enough for Edd to regain his energy!" Kenji states. "I think this is his chance to make a comeback!"

"Oh, hell no! That absolutely cannot happen!" Barney shouts.

Rogen collapses on his back as Edd climbs up to the top turnbuckle once more for an Edducational Press...and finally connects it! He gets the leg hooked: (Kenji: Rogen Townsend... ; Barney: Don't' you say it, Benny!) 1... (Anata!) 2... (Desu!) 3! (Kansei!)

"HABUSKI! THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE! Edd's going to the Battle Royale next week!" Markiplier calls as the bell rings.

"Damn it!" Barney curses.

("Get Ready to Fly" by GRITS)

"Here is your winner...Edd!" Maria declares.

Edd rolls off Rogen and out of the ring with his arm wrapped around his abdomen in pain, feeling the effects of his Shooting Star Press onto the giant, and despite the pain, he forms a grin and raises a fist up high as the fans give out a pop to his victory. He pounds his chest twice and points at the crowd as he motions the International Championship will be around his waist and that's not arrogance, that's confidence. As he leaves to the backstage while passing high-fives to the fans, Townsend was snarling at his loss and perplexed by what just happened with that enigmatic message.

"A well-deserved win for Edd Remington as he walks out and is looking forward to win this Battle Royale and earn the spot for the Fatal 4-Way," Kenji nods.

"Give me a break, Senji! That dweeb knew he was going to lose and if it weren't for those technicians screwing around with the lights and Titantron, Rogen would've won this match!" Barney implies. "You, me, Zack, Mark, and everyone else in this building knows it!"

"I don't think that was the technicians' fault, Barney. Something was happening there and I don't know what it is, but it gave Double D the chance to come right back into this match and win," Zack says.

"Still bull to me," Barney mutters.

"Well, changing gears here, guys, we are about to go to a commercial break, but letting the fans know of what's to come tonight," Markiplier announces as the camera switches to the Titantron, showing the main event tag match while featuring the wrestlers in that match. "And what's still to come tonight is the huge Eight-Man Tag Team Match in our main event! And you all will see it soon on Friday Night Ignition when we return!"

[Commercial Break]


Ignition returns from the break to reveal the audience in their seats as they wait for the next match-up or a segment...but what they got was a familiar guitar chord from the Titantron and they rise up on their feet to the sound.

("Me Against the World" by Simple Plan)

[We're not gonna be just a part of their game

We're not gonna be just the victims

They're taking our dreams and they tear them apart

'Til everyone's the same

I've got no place to go; I've got nowhere to run

They love to watch me fall

They think they know it all!]

The crowd bursts into cheers as Ash Ketchum...walks out with a furious scowl on his face and a long metal pipe in his hand, wearing nothing but street clothing and his signature cap turned backwards. He wastes little time heading down on the ramps to the ring and rolling inside, then calls for a microphone from the ring crew.

[I'm a nightmare, a disaster!

That's what they always said!

I'm a lost cause, not a hero

But I'll make it on my own!

I've gotta prove them wrong!

Me against the world!

...

It's me against the world!]

"Ash Ketchum arrives in the Chesapeake Energy Arena...highly furious after what happened to him last week on Ignition. And honestly, who can blame him? He got screwed over his chances to enter the Battle Royale," Kenji states.

"Hey, hey, now, Benji, 'screwed over' are such strong words. If anything, this is all of Ash's fault for talking smack to him three weeks ago post-match from the Playground of Blood," Barney accuses. "You don't speak to someone like Kaiba in that manner, or else you'll bring yourself in a world of consequences; that's what happened to him and that's what he gets."

"For Ash, it's unjustified and he's looking to get even with Seto tonight," Markiplier observes.

"Cut the music! Cut the music, damn it!" Ash demands in anger, his music dies at order. "...You know, I can handle few things here and there...I've already got a lot other crap to deal with, like the situation with my former best friend down in WCW: Showdown, and I sure as hell don't need another problem such as Seto Kaiba screwing me out of match. Know what? I'm gonna cut to the chase—Seto Kaiba! Get your ass out here RIGHT NOW! You wanna get in my business?! Allow me to get in yours by beating the crap out of you! COME ON! I ain't got all day!"

Ash impatiently waits for Kaiba to appear as he quickly paces around the ring like a caged animal.

"C'mon, Kaiba! I know you're here in this building, man! Are you scared of earning your just deserts?! Is it because what I said to you down at Reign in Blood that made you attack me? If so, you're more pathetic than I thought!" Ash shouts.

"How dare you, Ketchum! You don't speak like that to a man name Seto!" Barney says.

"Seto has an ego as full as he is of himself, Stinson. Ash has the right to say that to him," Kenji says.

Ash kept pacing around the ring until his patience finally ran out and he barks, "Okay, you don't wanna come out? ...Fine. I'll find you and kick your ass myself!"

He exits the ring to head after Kaiba...who suddenly appears on the Titantron screen with a smirk on his face as fans boo at him.

"Speak of the devil..." Markiplier utters.

Ketchum sees Kaiba on the Titantron and scowls, "So you finally had the balls to appear, but not in person?"

Seto sneers at the comment and replies, "Ketchum...I have no reason to appear at the same place where you're at since I have done my job to you last week...but the more you want to charge after me and insult me...you're only digging yourself into a place you won't be able to crawl out of. When you insulted me at Reign in Blood after the Playground of Blood Match, that...oh, did that make me angry... You know what I did about it? ...I made sure to make you pay for your insolence...and what I did last week was just part one. It's as I said last week to you...it is only the beginning to your suffering."

"How about less talking, more of you walking down here so I get to kick your ass?!" Ash shouts, earning cheers from the crowd.

"...Very impatient...I'm not surprised, knowing your personality. See, you don't get to touch me, Satoshi—you don't get to step at my level. You...didn't have the right to say what you said to me three weeks ago...you didn't have the right to speak against those that are more powerful than you. You don't speak against those who can break you down in an instant like I can. I have done a lot of things to make my enemies' lives a living hell...and I can surely add you to that list, Ketchum...and I'll make sure you regret insulting me. No one...gets away with insulting me without paying a price. You made a massive mistake to say those words to me...and you're gonna pay for it. I began it last week with your match and it's going to continue tonight...probably starting with someone close to you...or perhaps something."

Ash narrows his eyebrows at the Titantron to what Kaiba meant by that as he moves to his side...and the camera exposes a trapped, exhausted, and somewhat roughed up Pikachu inside a steel cage completely covered in rubber. The Pokémon Trainer's eyes widen as the size of plates once he saw his Pokémon imprisoned by Kaiba, who looks back at Ketchum with a grin.

"I won't lie, but it took a lot of work to get this rat into this cage...seemed to be worth the effort, don't you think?" Seto asks with a smug smirk.

"What'd you do to Pikachu, Kaiba?! I swear if you—"

"All I simply did was capture it a lot better than Team Rocket could, Ash...and now all you have to do is what you usually do when it comes to your precious Pokémon getting captured...you rescue it. If you wanna do that...come and get me."

The Titantron turns off as Ash immediately hops off the apron and sprints to the backstage, going to rescue his Pokémon, Pikachu.

"Ash is running to the backstage and going to save Pikachu from the clutches of Seto Kaiba! Now he's got a pissed off Ash Ketchum on his tail!" Markiplier states. "No one can blame him for being this angry; when his friends or Pokémon are endangered, he's going to be at this level of anger!"

"Hey, Ash had this coming to him long ago, Mark! He made the petty insult to Kaiba and his suffering will be continuing until he realizes his mistakes and accepts this as his punishment!" Barney infers.

[SHUT UP!]

("In the Middle of It Now" by Disciple)

[NOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

I'm knocking on the door!

...

Kick it down!

...

I'm knocking on the door!

...

Break it down!

When it comes to dues, we paid them!

We had the patience, we waited!

Sometimes loved and sometimes hated

Here we come, there ain't no mistaking!

We get the chance and we take it!

Get the shot at the game and we make it!

Standing on the edge, like we played it!

Here we come, there ain't no mistaking!]

The crowd bursts out into cheers with some boos mixed into the reaction as Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla arrives at the Ignition stage. Anthony struts his way to the ring as Ian shouts, "WE'RE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR!" along with their theme song. Anthony turns right to the corner, climbs on the apron, and stands near the turnbuckle pole as Ian climbs up to the second rope, and both men pose with their arms up à la Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. Ian and Anthony lowers their arms and enter the ring, then they stand in the middle of the ring with raised arms once again and grin together as they nail a DX crotch chop three times, signaling green pyro to shoot up from the ring in formation of an "X" three times before making a huge one with one last crotch chop.

[We're in the middle of it

Fire and smoke are everywhere

I can't see it cooling down!

We're in the middle of it

It's everything we ever wanted

The middle of it

We're in the middle of it NOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

I'm knocking on the door!]

"The following Handicapped Match is set for one fall to the finish! Introducing first: from Sacramento, California, at a combined weight of 452 pounds, the team of Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla, Smosh!" Maria announces.

"Guess we're changing gears here from the Ash/Kaiba situation to the Smosh/Eds rivalry. These are the guys that had gave disrespect to the Erupting Eds three weeks ago on the premiere of Friday Night Ignition, the same rookie degenerates that challenged Ed into a match...who may I remind you guys has gotten a new gimmick known as 'Edback'?" Zack recalls.

"No need considering I'm going to enjoy watching these two idiots get eaten alive by Ed in the ring. I don't like either team, but considering that it's two degenerates that are going to implode within each other, I'll be enjoying the show," Barney smirks.

[FEED...

ED...

MORE...]

("Meat on the Table" by Jim Johnston)

[FEED...ED...MORE...

FEED...ED...MORE...

FEED...

ED...

MOOORE...!]

As the capacity of the Chesapeake Energy Arena roars in cheers, Ed walks out with a heavy scowl and glare to Smosh while Eddy walks out next to him with hands behind his back and sneering. He winds up his arms one at a time and throws them down for the fireworks to pop off-screen. He looks down at the ground, breathing deeply as he gets himself into the song; "FEED...ED...MOOOOOORE!" Ed growls in unison to the lyrics and Eddy SLAPS him across the face to get him more pumped and shouts, "WAKE UP, LUMPY! IT'S FEEDING TIME!" and that sets Ed on fire as he BELLOWS to the sky and marches his way down to the ring. Ed makes it to the steps and roars as he slams his hands on the stairs before walking up on them and into the ring while Eddy stays at ringside. Ed grabs the ropes and shakes them like an animal then turns around to slam a fist into his left palm, pyrotechnics popping off-screen and bellows loudly to the crowd.

[Meat on the table

Yeah, that's what you are!

Yeah, you can run

But you won't get too far! (Hey!)

You're in my jungle

And I'll make the kill!

Meat on the table

And I'll get my fill! (Hey!)]

"And their opponent: accompanied to the ring by Eddy McGee, from Peach Creek, weighing in at 252 pounds, Ed!" Maria announces.

Markiplier is heard taking a spit-take and shouts with shock, "Wait a minute, wait a minute—two-hundred and fifty-two pounds?! Good God, that is a lot of weight for someone like Ed! What the hell has Eddy been feeding the guy?!"

"Ed has been at this for over ten years, Mark. You shouldn't be surprised by what Ed is willing to do to keep himself strong and with how he eats. Kenny? Got any comments?" Barney smirks as he turned to Kenji...who was the one that covered from the spit-take from Mark by accident as his eye twitches, giving Stinson the satisfied smirk to what just happened.

Matsuo exhales deeply and speaks in a calm manner, "...To answer, Stinson, I am not surprised...Eddy is responsible for the actions of Ed turning into 'Edback' bearing in mind of his newfound rivalry with Smosh... And this shows how much he's trying to prove that Smosh should not disrespect him or the Eds...make that just Eddy himself since he's got an ego..."

"...Sorry, Kenji," Mark utters.

"Just call the damn match, Mark," Kenji scowls through gritted teeth.

Smosh were set in their corner while Ed was preparing himself and being fed words of encouragement to destroy the two standing across the ring from him by Eddy. Ian argues for Anthony to go first against Ed considering he is the one that suggested the match. Padilla rolls his eyes as he says off-mic, "Fine, I'll go first, ya pansy. But, if I die, you're planning my funeral." The match would have Anthony starting it against Ed, who lets out a growl, and the second the bell rang at referee Shawn Yeager's command, "Edback" bellows loudly and charges at Anthony. He hesitated to move, but quickly Drop Toe Holds Ed face-first on the mat and floats over around him to latch a Front Headlock, but then Ed abruptly lifts Anthony with pure strength and slams him back down with a Monobuster! Anthony lets out a shout of pain as Ed hooks the leg, and Anthony kicks at surprise near two-count! Ed, still holding onto Anthony's legs, carries him upside-down and starts swinging him around in a Giant Swing. He rotates him over and over and over and over for nearly fifteen swings as Ian's head swivels at his friend being swung around and becomes dazed and Eddy commands for Ed to toss him right into Ian, which he does so and Ian gets hit right in the family jewels, crashing to the floor as Anthony favors his head. As soon as he stands up, Ed runs to him and nearly decapitates his head off with a Big Boot as Anthony flies over the top rope to the outside, colliding on the barricade!

"Goodness gravy, Ed is absolutely showing no remorse to Smosh with him tossing Anthony head-first right into...Ian's family jewels—Lasercorn's gotta be happy to see some balls destroyed, obviously—and then taking Padilla himself out of the ring!" Markiplier exclaims.

"Ohhh, I'm really beginning to like this side of Ed now," Barney chuckles evilly. "How is it we haven't gotten more of Ed like this? How, I ask?!"

Ian and Anthony groan in pain, mostly the former as he was favoring his groin, while Ed exits the ring and forces Anthony back inside. He climbs up the apron and Anthony, despite being stunned from the Big Boot, strikes a stiff Enzuigiri to the side of his head, causing Ed to fall off the apron like a rag doll! After shaking the cobwebs off, Anthony goes after Ed, but Yeager wouldn't allow him to do that and that was enough for a distraction as Ian grabs onto Ed and throws him right into the steel steps! He then shoves him back inside the ring and Padilla grins as he covers Ed, believing this would now be an easy pin...but Ed powers out at 2.11, propelling Anthony off of him! Ed rises to his feet and Lariats the hell out of Anthony, turning him inside out as Eddy has fists raised with a large grin, feeling much satisfied of his work being accomplished against Smosh. "Ed! Finish the match already! You got this in the bag, Lumpy!" Eddy encourages as "Edback" nods to his command and roughly forces Anthony up on his shoulders, preparing for From the Belly of Hades...but Anthony gets off after raking his eyes and performs the O'Connor Roll...which fails as Ed hangs onto the ropes! Anthony rolls to his feet, misses a Clothesline, gets caught by Ed, and is slammed down on the mat with a Blue Thunder Bomb! He has the leg hooked, but Yeager tells him Anthony is not the legal man, and that's when Ian Hecox takes Ed down with a Flying Bowl Haircut—a Diving Headbutt—both heads smashing right into each other!

"Hang on, if Anthony isn't legal, than that means—Ian comes flying with a Diving Headbutt and literally, both Ian and Ed crash heads into each other! They gotta have cracked skulls after that!" Zack shouts. "I don't know who got the worst of it!"

"Either way, both their IQs have dropped worse than ever. Just a matter of time before one of them stands up and they gain the momentum first," Barney muses.

As Shawn Yeager checks on Ian and Ed, both being hurt from the clashing of the Headbutt to each other's skulls, he would start the count up to ten unless both men get up. (1!... 2!... 3!) Ed grabs the bottom rope to bring himself up while Ian drags his body by the corners. (4!... 5!...) Ian does manage to reach his vertical base, but barely as his legs stagger...and it looks like he has a somewhat busted open head and the same is be said for Ed, blood pouring down in his face. (Barney: Ooh...I don't think it's just their IQs they're losing tonight. ; Kenji: The price Ian has paid right now is his own blood spilling out of his forehead along with Ed's. ; Zack: And I don't think that's what Eddy's been wanting, at least not from Ed.) The Big Ed wipes the blood off his face and sees it on his hand...then clenches it into a fist, now becoming more enraged than ever and charges at a cornered Ian, slamming right into him with a Stinger Splash! He steps back as Ian flops forward on the mat from the impact of the splash; then, Ed stands Ian up back against the corner and fires away with a series of hard right hands to the temple, adding in a few Back Elbows. He would even land a few large Headbutts to worsen their condition.

"Ed is still fighting and fighting notwithstanding the blood pouring down in his face and that only fired him up—and the Headbutt connects from Ed, causing their heads to bleed out more," Kenji observes. "I think Ed's getting a little out of control here."

"Tell that to Eddy as he's trying to tell Ed not to make himself more stupid than ever by doing this," Barney states.

When Ed finished the Headbutts and shaking the cobwebs off, he pulls Ian into a Double Underhook as they stand in the center of the ring and he lifts him up on his shoulders, then hits a Snap Tigerbomb...then hoists him up again and hits another Powerbomb, keeping Ian in a Prawn Hold as Yeager drops for the pin: 1, 2—Ian kicks out at 2.429. Ed quickly transitions it into an STF, locking his left leg and head in his clutches. Ian with his eyes blinded in Ed's arms crawls to wherever he can find the ropes and manages to grab onto one, making Ed roll off him and pulls Ian away. He looks for another STF, but Ian turns around and kicks his face in; then he lunges onto Ed in a Sleeper Hold...and bites down on him all over his head, neck, and shoulders? This causes Ed to panic, return to his normal state, and roll around the ring screaming, "HE'S LIKE A BAD ITCH, EDDY! AAH! GET HIM OFF! HE'S ANNOYING MY HEAD! AAAGGH!" Eddy facepalms as Yeager scratches his head in confusion of what is happening in front of him before attempting to pull Ian off. Hecox does release his bites from Ed and once they stand up, Ed eats the Superkick to the jaw! Ian stands from Ed's side...and sees how the position is as he is near the ropes and cracks a grin.

"Superkick by a comeback Ian! Ed goes down from the kick and—uh-oh...from this position...I think we're gonna see something from Ian, ladies and gentlemen," Markiplier chuckles.

"Ugh, come on! How is it entertaining when these two aren't even funny anymore?!" Barney criticizes.

Ian tags in Anthony and he splays his arms and legs out with a "BWAAAAAAAAAAAH!" and stomps his feet around, signaling for The Magical Tapeworm. He then begins hopping around the ring as the crowd spells: "W! O! R! M!" then he performs the Worm dance towards Ed and stands up, swings his arms about left and right with woos and shouts with a crotch chop, "SUCK IT!" and nails a Leaping Headbutt onto Ed's temple. Anthony comes into play as he hops over the ropes with a Slingshot Leg Drop on Ed's head; Eddy was getting pretty anxious that Edback is beginning to take all these hits from Smosh without even fighting back. (Zack: The tide has completely turned for Smosh and Eddy doesn't look at all happy to what's happening. ; Barney: When your greatest creation is getting his ass owned by two unfunny disrespectful degenerates, you have the right to be unhappy.) Anthony leisurely measures Ed on his feet as he smirks to Eddy, "Hope you like the taste of losing again, Skipper," then he corkscrews forward with the Bananarama and ED CATCHES HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS!

"Bananarama coming for Ed—ED JUST CAUGHT ANTHONY ON THE SHOULDERS! Unreal!" Zack shouts.

"It is so REAL, Zack, hahaha! Now do it, Ed! (à la Mortal Kombat) Finish Him!" Barney encourages with a grin.

To the shock of Eddy, Ian, and the crowd, Ian quickly plunges at Ed to stop him from completing his finisher, but is also caught on the shoulders! Ed has Smosh trapped on his shoulders as he marches around the ring, holding four-hundred and fifty-two pounds of both Ian and Anthony with pure strength, and executes From the Belly of Hades!

"GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, ED JUST CARRIED AND EXECUTES BOTH ANTHONY AND IAN WITH THE BELLY OF HADES! THAT WAS A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 452 POUNDS ED HAS JUST HELD!" Markiplier shouts.

"This shows what kind of monstrous strength Ed has! There is no limit to what power he truly has!" Barney exclaims as Ian rolls away in pain and Ed leaps over onto Anthony to hook the leg. "And this is where I say—"

1!

"Bada Bing!"

2!

"Bada Boom!"

3!

"Forget About It!"

"Habuski! That's all she wrote, ladies and gentlemen!" Markiplier calls as the bell rings.

("Meat on the Table" by Jim Johnston)

"Here is your winner, Ed!" Maria declares.

Ed rises on his knees while glaring down at Anthony and rubs the blood off his face as he returns to his "normal" state and Eddy slides in the ring. He gives him his congrats as he says, "We got one over them, Lumpy! Way to go!" And Ed replies dumbly, "Where was I going?" Eddy simply facepalms at his stupidity and decides to forget it as he and Ed leave the ring...but Eddy stays behind to talk smack to Anthony, saying off-mic, "Look who got the taste of losing...not so funny now, huh, ya hack? That's just part of your little lesson for dissing me, kid...more to come unless ya learn the meaning of respect. R-E-S-P-E-E-K. Respect." He motions Ed to leave and he follows as the Eds walk up to the ramps, Eddy raising Ed's arm up as his the victor. Anthony in the meanwhile was holding his abdomen while glaring at Eddy and Ian was recovering from the impact of the Belly of Hades.

"Eddy's gotta be real proud of himself for making Ed into an actual monster and having him do his dirty work," Kenji implies.

"Of course he's proud of himself—why wouldn't he be? You know how embarrassing it'd be if your ultimate creation were to lose to people like Smosh?" Barney asks. "That would be something he'll never come back from."

"Hey!" Anthony shouts, a mic in his hand as he catches the two Eds' attention and "Meat on the Table" dies. "Hey! Ngh...you really think that just because—ow—your great creation has beaten me and Ian...means we're gonna give you the 'respect' you 'deserve', Skipper? Oh, you're not even close, buddy boy... Until you have the balls yourself to step in the ring against us again instead of sending Edback to do your dirty work, you're not getting what you want... However...Ed won this match fair, I'll give him that...might as well give him a well-deserved prize. Don't you think so, Ian?"

Ian walks up to Anthony and says, "Yeah, I think he does, Anthony."

"Where are they going with this?" Kenji asks.

"Wait for it..." gestures Barney, raising a finger and believing what may happen next.

Eddy narrows his eyes while Ed was wondering what the prize is as Anthony then states, "Glad you agree...because we got a large vat of gravy just waiting for you, Ed, in case you beat us, which you did. All you have to do...is open your mouth wide...and look up."

Without thinking, Ed simply does what Anthony says as he waits for his prize while Eddy was still suspicious and tells Ed not to fall for this possible trick...AND BOTH EDS GET POURED ON BY CREAMY LIGHT-BROWNISH LIQUID ALL OVER THE STAGE! Ed gobbles up what he assumes is gravy while Eddy was steaming mad about his clothes ruined by this surprise...but then sees Ed beginning to clutch onto his throat as if he's having an allergic reaction.

"Holy crap, gravy has been showered all over both Ed and Eddy! It's all over the stage, man!" Zack shouts.

"Hang on...Ed's having trouble right now. He's looking like he's having an allergic reaction to the gravy...which actually smells sugary, and it looks creamy and light brown—oh, crap, that's not gravy, it's butterscotch," Markiplier realizes.

Eddy realizes it as well as Ed's skin begins to swell up from the butterscotch as Smosh were in the ring laughing their asses off.

"Oops! Did I say gravy? I mean BUTTERSCOTCH! Funny those two can easily be mixed up with the similar color, huh, Mr. Eddy?" Anthony sneers as Eddy glares at him. "See, McGee...you did say for me and Ian to step up our game...and we did just that. Everyone has a weakness...so do monstrous beings such as 'Edback' with butterscotch as one of his worst allergies. The rulebook is thrown out the window, bitch, because this is WAR between us. And if you're not down with that—"

"We only got TWO WORDS FOR YA!" Ian shouts into the mic.

"SUCK IT!" shouts the crowd, filling the blank.

"Thank you and goodnight," Anthony smirks before dropping the mic.

"In the Middle of It" by Disciple plays out for Smosh as they leave the ring and exit through the barricade while Eddy was seething heavily and Ed was dealing with his swelled up face, saying to his fellow Ed, "Eddy...I don't feel so good..."

"Just when Eddy thought he had this battle won over Smosh, but it seems they outsmarted him with this deception! Eddy McGee is LIVID," Markiplier states. "He stands at the stage humiliated with butterscotch spread all over him and his best creation is suffering an allergy."

"I know for sure the second Ed returns to his Edback state, he'll make sure to unleash all his wrath towards Smosh...the implosion of the degenerates is slowly setting in. You can so tell Kudo is happy to see this," Barney smirks.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he is," Kenji rolls his eyes.


Changing to the backstage zone, we see Ash Ketchum going all around the area, still trying to find Kaiba and rescue Pikachu.

"Whoa, hang on, subject changing back to Kaiba and Ash, who is still trying to locate him and get his Pikachu back," Zack says.

"Kaiba, where are you, damn it!" Ash calls before grabbing onto a backstage crewmember. "Hey, have you seen Kaiba? Where is he?"

"I-I haven't seen him around here, man," utters the crewmember.

Ash grows frustrated and just pushes him aside, desperate to find the Pokémon he's journeyed with since the beginning of his days as a Pokémon Trainer...then a sound of a cry was heard very lightly, but Ash could hear it as he quickly turns to his left. He jogs over to the noise behind a door as his ear was placed against it, then hears the cry again, believing it's his Pikachu. Without hesitation, Ash slides open the door and rushes inside, calling if his pal is inside.

"Pikachu! ...Are you there, buddy? If you are, speak to me!" Ash requests, his voice echoing in the room...and hears that sound again, a weak one, but he recognizes it as his Pikachu. He tracks down where that cry is coming from as it grows a bit louder in the darkness...and he stops to find an imprisoned Pikachu in his cage as he hears it groaning.

"Pikachu..." says Ash in relief, endeavoring to open the cage to set Pikachu free. "Hang on, buddy, I'm gonna get you out in a moment."

Ash uses the pipe he had earlier and begins breaking the lock. As soon as he did, he frees his Pokémon and hugs it close, "Thank God, I found you, Pikachu..."

...

...

...

... but something was off...and Ash felt it as he looked at his Pikachu...which was actually a FAKE as it begins to spark up from some reason and electroshocks Ash! He screams in utter pain while being electrocuted for a few seconds before collapsing on the floor, his body twitching as he's paralyzed...

...

...then footsteps were heard...and two feet were seen onscreen as Ash looks up despite his condition...and we see Seto Kaiba crouching next to Ketchum with a sneer on his face.

"How do you like the new toy, Ash? I gave it a little special edition myself to make it more...accurate. Sure felt like the real thing, didn't it?" Kaiba chuckles. "50,000 volts...same amount as a stun gun, but that surely took you down worse than your rat's Thunder Shock, huh? Enjoy your new toy, Ash...that's as close as you are gonna get to your pet."

With a smug chuckle, Kaiba stands up and starts to walk...but feels something stopped him and he looks down to see Ash clutching onto his pant leg with a heavy scowl, the Pokémon anime protagonist showing how resilient he is.

"NGH...WHERE...IS...PIKACHU, YOU BASTARD...?!" Ash growls, still twitching.

Kaiba didn't answer as he only glares at Ash, then pulls his leg away from his grasp...before roughly KICKING his head nearly off his shoulders! Ketchum lies on his back knocked out, yet still twitching as Seto only scoffs and walks away, leaving behind a motionless Ash Ketchum.

[Commercial Break]


"We welcome you back, guys, to Friday Night Ignition—just a few moments ago before the break, we've witnessed Ash Ketchum attempting to save his Pikachu from Kaiba's clutches, only to be tricked and electrocuted by a decoy," Markiplier annotates. "We can only assume Kaiba still has the real Pikachu somewhere."

"Part two of Ash's punishment has been set in stone, guys. He could've just given up and begged for his rat back from Kaiba, but he decides to be stupid and let himself suffer. He brought this on himself and you guys know it's the truth!" Barney implies.

"You really think this justifies making Ash go through hell all because he got one shot to Kaiba, Stinson?! All for hurting his ego?!" Kenji questions.

"I'm calling it like I see it, Benji! If you don't like that, then you can go—"

Suddenly, dark disturbing images rapidly flash onscreen with people screaming in blood, slimy worms crawling through skulls, an eclipse blocking the sun, a severed arm being burned, a closeup of a creepy doll, whose head turns to the camera instantly, and a final quick snapshot of a screaming pale man with empty eye sockets with a loud brief scream being heard. And...darkness and silence is what was left...and smoke slowly rises out of the darkness in revealing a white-haired silhouette crouching in the middle of a blinking light hanging above him. The silhouette is actually recognized to be Ryo Bakura as he had his eyes closed and deeply, but silently breathes in the air and breathes out, looking relaxed before speaking just as a piano version of "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold is played quietly in the background.

"...Monster's Ball...one of the vilest...sickening...cruelest matches...in wrestling history... No man has ever been the same after going through that match...barely they can call themselves 'men' anymore...only...animals. By the time it happens...you are locked inside a room...filled with the absolute beauty of darkness...no sources that keeps the human body going during the day...no food...and certainly no water... You can say I have the whole advantage as I have no need for food nor water myself...the blackness...is all I need to strive," Bakura grins slightly while sickly. "Takashi Komuro...you are a fool to accept my challenge because you don't have the experience of the shadows like I have... You, like the rest of the embarrassed sinners, are afraid of the darkness...when you fear the darkness...you fear ME. And when you fear me...you know the absolute truth that you can't beat me...just like at Reign in Blood when I planted you through that very table after you foolishly leapt to your demise... You are lucky we aren't in a Tables Match once more...but you won't be so lucky in this one...this match belongs to me... I have the advantage of it...I can strive long enough to put you through Hell itself... I wonder how long you can survive with a GOD OF DARKNESS when you are no more...than a mere animal? (chuckles darkly) ...Soon...you will pay for thy sins...and you will...Follow...the Shadows..."

Bakura slowly cracks his sinister grin much large as he began to chuckle and it rises into an insane cackle, laughing like a madman—

"DEH!"

A brief scream is heard as a screaming pale man with empty eye sockets was seen before going into blackness...

...

...static appears on the Titantron as we transit back to the announce table, where our commentators happen to be...well, scared to holy hell.

"Um...so-so that was...Bakura...stating himself as the...winner of this upcoming Monster's Ball at...Rebellion against Komuro...as he proclaims to be having...the advantage of said match—oh, good God," Markiplier says, horrified.

"...Is it over, Kenji?" Zack asks off-screen, hiding under the table.

Kenji exhales deeply and replies, "Yes, it's over, Zack...you can come out now..."

"...I don't know what to say about that...but Bakura's statements are true. He knows the darkness better than anybody...and that promo he just made shows exactly why he and Marik are the winners for Promo of the Year," Barney states. "...Now, does anyone have a spare change of pants?"

"What?" Kenji asks.

"Nothing," Stinson quickly says.

("Motorcity" by Adam Skaggs)

Fans let out cheers as Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor come out together to get the crowd pumped up before standing together back to back as they hold their "finger guns" out and "shoot" at the ring, the "blow the smoke" off their fingers with grins and walks down the ramps. Tristan passes a few stray high-fives to fans while Joey smirks to the camera and points his finger guns to it with a wink, then climbs onto the apron as Tristan slides right by him inside the ring. He stands behind Joey as he holds his right hand out and his index finger is placed on the hand and Wheeler "shoots" at the camera once more with a "bang", and then enters the ring. Both Joey and Tristan stand at their adjacent corners with the latter patting his chest and pointing to the fans as the former motions he and his best bud will be entering the Battle Royale after winning this match.

"The following tag team contest is set for the International Championship Tourney! Introducing first: from Domino City, Japan, at a combined weight of 442 pounds, the team of Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor, The Domino City Machine Guns!" Maria announces.

"Phew, okay, as we are changing gears, ladies and gentlemen, we are getting ready for another round of the International Championship Tourney; but, this time it is in a tag team match," Markiplier informs. "It was said that Jesse was going to give one exception for a tag team to enter the Battle Royale and he thought this could work for any tag team that may wanted to enter the tourney. As you can see, Joey and Tristan have joined this tourney as the reuniting Domino City Machine Guns."

"Jesse has given the opportunity to these two vets to join the tournament and have a chance to become the first-ever International Champion. Hell, with them as a cohesive unit against the rest in this Battle Royale, they can gain the advantage over their opponents," Zack states.

"But remember that it will be every man for himself in that match. Who knows when one of those two will betray each other just to win the Battle Royale?" Barney asks. "Once that happens, these guys only have themselves to blame."

("Bad Company" by Five Finger Death Punch)

[And that's why the call me...

Bad company! I won't DENY!

Baaaaad, bad company! 'Til the day I die!

Bad company! I won't DENY!

Baaaaad, bad company! 'Til the day I DIE!

Until the day I die...]

A mixed reaction was given by the audience to the incoming team, who appear to be Rokuro "Rock" Okajima and Dutch of the Black Lagoon Company as they are walking down the individual arena steps, passing by the fans that either boo or cheer for them. Once reaching the barricade, Rock hops over his side while Dutch simply walks over it. The Japanese Businessman climbs to the top turnbuckle and glares stoically at the Domino City Machine Guns as Dutch slides in the ring and stands in front of Rock with folded arms.

"And their opponents: from Roanapur, Thailand, at a combined weight of 485 pounds, Rock and Dutch, the Black Lagoon Inc.!" Maria announces.

"Oh, well, well...it seems the Black Lagoon Company has made their first appearance onto the ACW stage as they're going against Wheeler and Taylor," Barney smirks.

"These two are known to be working under our developmental territory, AIW, along with AUW and are part of the AWF main roster alongside with Revy. In those former two developmental shows, they are the #1 contenders for the respective tag team championships. Come next week on Thursday in Adrenaline Impact Wrestling, they will be facing Mason and Woods for the AIW Tag Team Championships at our first-broadcasted AIW special event, Allegiance to the Ring," Kenji notifies.

"Now it looks like they're joining this tourney to add themselves into the Battle Royale and see if either one of them could be entering that Fatal 4-Way afterwards and become the inaugural International Champion," Zack comments. "As you said a few seconds ago, Barney, they may betray each other to become said champion."

"Eh, doubt it," Barney shrugs, making Zack have a plain face expression.

Referee Andrew Styles had called for the bell and indicated for the match to begin as Joey and Rock would be the ones to start it off. Joey gestures Rock to come at him and the two tie up, then Rock quickly transitions the collar-and-elbow lockup into a rear waistlock and takes his opponent down with a Waistlock Takedown, and moves himself up for the Front Headlock, his arms fastened around the neck tightly. Rock would Gator Roll around the ring for a moment and rise to a knee as he keeps Joey in the tight Headlock. Wheeler struggles to escape the Japanese Businessman's clutches, but to no avail. However, he is able to send a few punches to the kidneys of Rock and continues on and on until the headlock grip was loosen and Joey pushes him away. He swings for a Clothesline, but misses it and Rock sends a sharp elbow to the back of Wheeler's head, causing him to stumble to the ropes...and surprises Rock with the Wheeler Rage (Pendulum Lariat)!

"Rock has technical advantage, yet Joey has the brawler advantage as he counteracts with that Wheeler Rage Clothesline!" Markiplier states. "That nearly decapitated Rock's head off!"

"And if you saw closely *replay* when Joey tilted at the ropes, Tristan tapped the leg to tag himself in. And now they're looking to set Okajima up for something big," Zack observes.

Tristan gets Rock into the corner and the Domino City Machine Guns back up a few feet to measure their opponent and run straight towards the businessman, executing a combination of a Running Arched Big Boot from Tristan and an Enzuigiri from Joey, the Domino City Machine Guns Sandwich, both feet nailing into Rock's head! Okajima stumbles forward as Tristan grabs and drills him with a flat-out Tilt-a-Whirl Mat Slam, then hooks the leg and Dutch Double Axe Hammers him just as Rock kicked out at two! Dutch is admonished by the official as he backs away to exit onto the apron and Taylor glares before dragging Rock to his feet. He lands a two shots to the temple as he gets to the ropes and goes for an Irish Whip, but is reversed and Rock pulls him to the ropes instead. Tristan rebounds from the ropes and is shot down with a Back Elbow by Rock, who then leaps at the second rope and springboards with the Moonsault...and lands on his feet when Tristan moved! The Yu-Gi-Oh! character spins for a Discus Left Clothesline and Rock ducks it, swivels him, grabs his head, and leaps up to plant the Roanapur Slam (Shiranui)! He hooks both legs: 1, 2—Tristan kicks out at 2.34!

"Rock hits the Shiranui, his Roanapur Slam to Tristan! He's got the cover—damn it, Tristan kicks out at two!" Barney comments, observing the match. "That was a very nice combo of counters from the rookie leading up to that maneuver. He knows what he's doing."

"And now he gets the tag to Dutch, who has been looking forward to get in the ring," Kenji witnesses as Rock tagged Dutch and the two drill Tristan with a Double Hip Toss off the rebound. "Double Hip Toss from the Black Lagoon Company and it connects."

Dutch drapes Tristan across the second rope and after bouncing off the ropes from the other side, he hits Tristan with a Leapfrog Body Guillotine. He drags him to the center of the ring and lands a huge Leaping Leg Drop across the neck of Tristan. He covers with the leg hooked: 1, 2—kick out by Tristan at 2.41! He gradually sits him up, runs to the ropes and bounces off, and drives a Big Boot in Tristan's face. He pins him and again, Tristan kicks out! Dutch clutches onto his legs and with Rock slapping the shoulder, tagging himself in, the Black Lagoon Captain falls back, catapulting Tristan into a Forearm Smash followed by a Slingshot Elbow Drop across the neck. Taylor rolls away favoring his back as it lied on Dutch's knees and Rock takes advantage by dropping a few knees to the spine, injuring it further before grabbing him, Irish Whipping him to the ropes, and catches him with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker. Taylor attempts for a tag to Joey, who had his hand out, but Rock pulls him away and hits an Elbow Drop to his back again. He tags in Dutch, then he Powerbombs Tristan right into the corner and the captain crashes into his opponent with a huge Body Splash. Dutch went ahead for the pin: 1, 2—kick out at 2.53. Rock tags in and ascends the top rope while Dutch grabs onto him and throws him on top of Tristan with the Aided Crossbody! Rock covers him: 1...2...Tristan still kicks out at 2.69! Irritated, Rock sets Taylor up for the Bow and Arrow submission hold and completes it, keeping his opponent in his grasp while he lets out brief shouts of pain and Joey is desperately hoping for Tristan to escape the hold somehow and get the tag.

"See what Rock and Dutch are doing, guys? They are making quick tags and keeping Tristan isolated from Joey so he can't make it to him; that is a smart strategy from both men," Barney notes. "I did say Rock knows what he's doing. He is a hell of a strategist for the Black Lagoon."

"It does look like Tristan won't be able to make it, but he has a strong will to keep fighting. Question is, which will last long: Tristan's willpower or Black Lagoon Inc.'s control of the tide?" Markiplier queries.

"You say that like you don't have faith the Black Lagoon Company will win," Barney presumes.

"I'm just calling the match, dude," Mark replies in defense.

Rock wrenches the hold with his knees digging into the spine of Tristan, who remains screaming in agony from the Bow and Arrow hold and showing resilience to give up despite the pain. Having enough of it, Joey starts slamming his on the turnbuckle pad frequently as he signals for the Hot Tag, getting the crowd on his side to join in with rhythmic clapping. Tristan can hear the fans' support for him to escape the Bow and Arrow and manages to do so by raking Rock's eyes out; not exactly a clean maneuver, but desperate times call for desperate measures. As Rock favors his face, Tristan is on his knees nursing his back from suffering that Bow and Arrow hold and slowly crawls over to his corner—all the while Joey is holding his hand out for the Hot Tag. He reaches his corner with his arm out and goes for the tag...but is pulled away by his leg by Okajima—WHO'S SKULL OBTAINS AN ENZUIGIRI THAT NEARLY KNOCKED HIS HEAD OFF! Tristan leaps forward and tags in Joey, who comes in running and Clotheslines the hell out of Rock! He hits another Clothesline, then bounces off the ropes, ducks Rock's fist, and nails him with the Cha-Ching, his Osaka Street Cutter! Dutch comes in to wreck the momentum, but Joey sees him coming from a mile away after ducking his Clothesline from Black Lagoon by nailing Lady Luck (Superkick)! Dutch is stumbling on his feet until Tristan from behind grabs him and nails his new signature move, It Came From Japan (Straightjacket Scoop Brainbuster)!

"Did you guys just see that?!" Zack screams. "Tristan just carried and drilled Dutch, a two-hundred and sixty-four pound man, with some type of a modified Brainbuster!"

"Not just any Brainbuster—that Brainbuster came from one place and one place only: It Came From Japan!" Kenji states.

"Domino City Machine Guns are in control and that is NOT a good thing, damn it!" Barney rages.

Tristan, while favoring his back and grinning despite the pain, and Joey high-five each other in celebration, then sees Dutch hanging outside nursing his head from that unique Brainbuster. They look at each other and nod with smirks, and then Joey grabs the rope for a FEIGN Slingshot Plancha as he lands on the apron, hops on the second rope to hold the top rope up and Tristan bolts through his legs with a Suicide Dive, landing on top of Dutch! "Nice going, buddy!" Joey congrats as he turns to see Rock shaking the cobwebs off his head from the Suplex Stunner before and enters the ring. He measures him from behind and grabs him for the In Your Face!, his Full Nelson Facebuster...and Rock pulls Wheeler over him, evading the maneuver! Joey rolls to his feet and he and Rock, at the same time, nearly knock each other's heads off with respective Forearm Smashes! This causes them to stumble away to the ropes...and they perform a simultaneous tilt between the ropes, run back to each other with their own Pendulum Lariats, Joey for his Wheeler Rage, Rock for his Twilight's Gleam (Jawbreaker Lariat)...JOEY DUCKS IT AND GOES FOR THE IN YOUR FACE!...WHICH IS REVERSED INTO A STUNNER BY OKAJIMA!

"In Your Face—STUNNER! Stunner from Rokuro! Not the Stone Cold Stunner, but a Stunner no less!" Markiplier exclaims.

"Joey nearly outsmarted Rock, but it seems Okajima was one step ahead! That was an impressive counter!" Barney states.

Wheeler shakes his head off his dazed condition and stands to his feet, earning a kick to the midsection by a stalking Rokuro, who follows it with setting him up in a Fisherman Suplex position...and Joey escapes it as he lands behind Rock and shoves him away right into referee Andrew Styles accidentally! Joey then catches Rock in an attempted Arm-trap Swinging Neckbreaker as he actually goes for a Twist of Fate, his Black Inferno finisher from XCF...and gets pushed off INTO A CLOTHESLINE FROM BLACK LAGOON BY DUTCH! (Zack: A vicious Lariat executed by the Black Lagoon Captain, nearly knocking his head off! ; Barney: Rock calculated that Twist of Fate and countered at the right time for Dutch to hit that Clothesline from Black Lagoon. This is the opening they need to win this match, so take advantage, Black Lagoon!) Rock gestures to Dutch they end this as the captain nods and brings Joey into a Standing Headscissors while Rokuro ascends the top turnbuckle. Once Rock reaches the top, Dutch lifts Wheeler on his shoulders, and both men perform a Doomsday Falling Powerbomb / Diving Clothesline combo!

"Unique tag team maneuver from Rock and Dutch! All they need to do now is wake up the referee and get the win!" Barney shouts.

"And they're doing just that as Dutch is outside dragging the official inside the ring—wait, someone just went over the barricade!" Zack notices as a man possibly in his fifties hopped over the barricade with a steel chair, fans cheering loudly as they recognize him as—

"ALEX MASON! It's Alex Mason! He's got a chair in hand!" Kenji shouts as Mason smashes the steel chair onto Dutch's skull! "And he nails a chair shot to the temple of Dutch!"

As Dutch goes down, Rock sees what is happening and attempts to stop Alex, but receives a chair shot to his skull as well! The AIW Tag Team Champion slides in the ring for a moment to bring Rock up as he places the chair in the middle of the ring and slams him with Duty Calls (Olympic Slam) on the foreign object! By then, he slides out with the weapon and slams and drives down the chair on Dutch's left leg multiple times. He then traps Dutch's leg within it and gets on the apron. He stands tall while grinning and jumps off to stomp the chair onto the leg, nearly breaking it and causing Dutch to react in writhing pain!

"That damn Alex Mason attacking the leg of Dutch! What rights does this guy have to interfere with this match and attack Black Lagoon?!" Barney rants.

"Let me remind you, Stinson, that last night on AIW, Mason's tag team partner and fellow champion, Frank Woods, was found assaulted and his own leg was nearly broken by the hands of Rock and Dutch as the guess was very obvious. This is payback for Woods' condition and evening the odds for his situation!" Kenji states.

As Mason takes his departure through the crowd, he shouts off-mic, "Now the odds are evened, assholes!" Rock nurses his head while glaring at Alex from the ring as he has no idea Tristan is standing behind him, measuring him up to his feet. The second Rock turns around, Tristan kicks him in the midsection and turns him around for a Falling Neckbreaker, but doesn't execute it just yet as Joey Wheeler is climbing to the top while holding his head. He stands high and tall, then dives off on top of Rock as he and Tristan perform Domino Barrage (Falling Neckbreaker (Tristan) / Diving Crossbody (Joey) combination)!

"Domino Gunshot connects!" Zack calls.

During then, Styles had awaken to see Wheeler and Taylor hit their tag team maneuver and crawls over to call the pin as Joey hooks the leg, nodding his head to each count: 1! (Anata!) 2! (Desu!) 3! (Kansei!)

"HABUSKI! That's all she wrote! Domino City Machine Guns are heading to the Battle Royale!" Markiplier asserts.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Barney complains.

("Motorcity" by Adam Skaggs)

"Here are your winners, Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor, the Domino City Machine Guns!" Maria declares.

Joey stands up and holds his stomach and head, but raises a fist in victory along with Tristan, the official raising both their arms as he declares them the winners of this contest. Wheeler returns to nursing his head while he and Tristan exit the ring, celebrating their triumph together.

"DCMG walk away as the winners of this contest, rejoicing their success in defeating the Black Lagoon Company," Markiplier states.

"Only because Mason came in and attacked Rock and Dutch to screw them over their winnings!" Barney stresses. "This is unacceptable for the Bro Code! This is so going in my blog!"

"Alex only did what he thought was right and he evened the odds between his team and Black Lagoon's now that Dutch's leg is immobilized for their tag title match come next Thursday on Allegiance to the Ring," Kenji retorts.


Transitioning to the backstage in an interview area, Zoey Brooks stands alone with a microphone in hand and carrying a smug smirk on her face.

"Hello, all, you all know me as Zoey Brooks, the top backstage interviewer in ACW. Allow me to introduce to you all the FUTURE of the Women's Division, the TRUE Top Technical Female Wrestler of the FWM, Aelita Schaeffer," Zoey smirks as the camera pans out to reveal the Fourth Horsewomen herself, also wearing a smug grin. "Miss Schaeffer, I firstly want to say congratulations to your win on your debut, even though it was no surprise you were eventually gonna win."

"It never is, Zoey. It never is," Aelita says in a haughty manner.

"Heh. Well, unfortunately, you were forced to waste an in-ring debut to fight an irrelevant piece of British trash known as Lisa Weston, who apparently challenged you for some inapt reason and disrespectfully slapped you. Nonetheless, you defeated her easily. After the match, you spoke the truth and...you know what? Actions speak louder than words, so let's roll a clip of what went down, hm?" Zoey asks with a fake smile.


[Last week, RAMPAGE...]

Lisa hangs Aelita by her feet on the top turnbuckle and executes the Tower of Weston (Nigel McGuinness' Tower of London), then covers her for the pin only to receive a kick-out at a 2.98, so close to a three-count.

"Close, but no cigar as Lisa nearly had the three-count for her Tower of Weston. Despite that, she still has the tide turned for her and is wanting to end this match and make Aelita pay for her arrogance and her betrayal!" Ned states.

"Geez, you people just never give up on making Aelita the bad guy, do you?" Logan rolls his eyes.

Lisa now gets up on her feet and hoists Schaeffer on her feet with her head locked tight under her armpit and both arms hooked with hers as she jumps for the Special Kitty-T (Standing Tornado or Jumping Double Underhook Spike DDT)...and GETS SHOVED OFF AND DRILLED WITH AN AELITA DDT (Scissored DDT)!

"AELITA DDT! Schaeffer catches the Spunky Weston by playing possum and nailed the Scissored DDT!" Ned shouts.

"Ha! Too easy, Bigby! What did I tell you!?" Logan laughs.

She turns her over for the pinfall: 1...2...3!

("Martyr No More" by Fozzy)

"Here is your winner...'The Fallen Angel' Aelita Schaeffer!" Maria Lopez announces...with a small hint of venom in her tone.

Aelita stands over Lisa with a sneer as she promotes herself as the "True Female Rookie" around this business and the fans give out their negative reaction towards her immodesty. All the while, Lisa was holding her head from the impactful Aelita DDT and speaking of Aelita, said Guardian of Lyoko watched her trying to get up using the ropes and commences with goading her loss. She holds her head by the hair with both hands, mocking her pain in her face and boasting she and the Four Horsewoman will take over this "pathetic division and dominate it". She would them mock her again of her past...which made Lisa VERY angry…and SPITS right in her face!

"Ugh! How dare that nobody disrespect Aelita!?" Logan snarls.

"Hey, Aelita was the one being arrogant and bringing up part of Lisa's past that shouldn't be mentioned! She had this coming!" Ned retorts.

Aelita, visibly disgusted, leisurely wipes off the spit as Lisa glowers at her with no sign of regret for spitting in her face...and would be driven down with another Aelita DDT!

*skip*

She glares down at the nearly unconscious Weston as she wipes off the rest of the saliva before setting her up in a sickening submission hold, her signature Lyoko Lock (Crossface / Over-the-shoulder Cloverleaf combination), straining the maneuver as Weston is screaming in absolute pain while tapping out rapidly and the referee is reprimanding her to release the submission!

"Oh, come on, you gotta be kidding me! Let her go, Aelita! You already won the damn match! This is utterly unnecessary!" Ned states.

"Unnecessary? No, what's unnecessary was that bitch, Lisa, making Aelita waste a perfect debut, slap and spit in her face, being so damn disrespectful to the future of our Women's Division!" Logan rejoinders. "THAT is unnecessary. Lisa is paying the price tonight and she deserves every ounce of punishment!"

She held the maneuver on for so long…until a pink-haired woman like Aelita rushed in the ring from the barricade and stopped her from furthering the damage to Lisa; this person was recognized as...AELITA SCHEAFFER?! TWO Aelitas were in the ring at the same time, but this one was an older version of the younger counterpart, possibly in her late teens to early twenties.

"Hold on, someone's in the ring with Aelita and Lisa, stopping the submission from the former furthering damage to the latter! It's...AELITA?!" Ned says in confusion.

"TWO Aelitas?! Oh, wait a minute, that's the poser! The fraud's here in ACW!" Logan implies.

O-Aelita sent fists to her younger counterpart's head, but receives an eye poke from her, giving the Fourth Horsewoman a chance to escape her and her deserved punishment. The adolescent Aelita backs up to the ramps away from her older counterpart, who stands in the ring leaning against the ropes, shouting for her to "get her ass back in this ring so she can kick it," and the former shakes her head, wanting nothing to do with her.

"Aelita manages to escape her older counterpart's wrath with a cheap shot to the eye of...well, in this case, Older Aelita," Ned concludes. "She slithers out of the ring like the coward she is."

"It's called 'living to fight another day,' Bigby. That's what Aelita is doing—she's not going to waste her time facing a faker like her loser copycat counterpart," Logan states.

(Younger) Aelita shouts from the ramps, "I'm the real thing around this business, you faker—not you! You're just some fraud from another dimension to make my name look BAD!" O-Aelita, however, exclaims back, "You're one to talk! I'm going to give you a lesson you won't forget about betrayal, Pale Rider!" She checked on Lisa, who was in absolute pain from that excruciating Lyoko Lock.


"You taught her a lesson she wouldn't forget and she spat in your face...how disrespectful. And you locked her in your unique submission hold to teach her a lesson again...but then that copycatting leech appears to ruin it all and dares to put her hands on you before you managed to escape the ring," Zoey says.

"Hmph, Zoey, if you're wondering, which I doubt, why I didn't want to waste my time any longer with another nobody such as...HER," Aelita says in disgust. "As you said, I already had to waste a debut on someone like Weston, who I'm sure won't try that crap on me again, and now I have this new irrelevant trash chasing after me. If I ever see her again, I'd—"

"What would you do?"

Aelita's ears perked as she and Zoey look off-screen and scowled together...when the Older Aelita Schaeffer appeared onscreen with a mocking smile as fans cheer loudly for her.

"Hi, younger me...how are ya? Good? 'Cause the funny thing about what you were saying is that you said you didn't wanted to 'waste your time' with another 'nobody' such as me... Why say that when you hide behind your Horsewomen and Moon for protection, hm?" O-Aelita asks.

"Like I need to answer to you of all people. If anything, you need to answer to me, leech. Why are you even here anyway?" asks the adolescent Aelita. "Are you trying to exploit my name worse than it already is with your losses down in FTW against Paine, Shriek and the Queen of Hearts? Or in Global Pride Wrestling when you choked and lost a chance at the Women's Tag Titles against an irrelevant PCUW Women's Champion and a broken-legged bitch? And less I forget to mention that you're partially at fault for the losses your friend, O-Kari, has suffered. It just seems every time you lose, those closest to you lose as well...especially in big matches with your boyfriend failing to win the Omega Championship against Tyson Blake. You want to know why this is happening? Because like the devil's daughter down in CCW...you're NOT WANTED in this universe."

This causes O-Aelita frown immensely at her younger counterpart as Brooks adds in to the officer, "That message was surely displayed when Tori and I ripped your dress apart at the FWAs. Tell me, Miss Fraud, how embarrassed did it feel to have yourself exploited on national television? Probably not much considering how desperate you are to get noticed."

With that snobby question, O-Aelita responds, "Hmph...like I have a clue what you're talking about with that crap. The only type of women who would do that is...well..." she halts her answer for the moment as she eyes Zoey, gesturing she's one of those girls as the interviewer scowls. "Don't need to say anything...but it wouldn't hurt to demonstrate with you."

Zoey backs away a few inches from the officer as the Lyoko Princess folds her arms, "Bullying against an interviewer? And people I thought I was the bitch."

"Oh, no...you still are. You and that coward of a blonde hiding behind you for protection. See, if anything...the real person that's making the name 'Aelita Schaeffer' look bad is YOU. I know my losses...but I'm not letting them keep me down unlike you, whose become nothing more than an egomaniac like Sailor Moon," O-Aelita scowls. "I don't get how you can let Moon inject her poison into your head that made you betray your friends...but I know what matters now is I make you pay for your sins."

With that, O-Aelita departs from the interview zone as the Queendom members glare at her. Aelita scoffs and says, "We'll see..." as she walks off the other way, leaving behind Zoey...and comes in Jennifer "Moze" Mosely with arms crossed over her chest as she had watched the scene between both Aelitas.

She would look at Zoey with a sneer and asks, "Trouble in paradise, Brooks? That's a shock, even for you."

Moze then walks off to her own business as the titular character of Zoey 101 glares at her "fellow" backstage interviewer.

Back from the break, PewDiePie is seen alone...with no microphone in hand surprisingly as he appears to be in an office, talking to someone off-screen.

"C'mon, Bro, I'm begging you to let me in this thing. Can't you just bend the rules?" Felix requests as the camera pans out to reveal that he's speaking to Jesse Alvarez.

"PewDie, I can't allow you to be in the tourney just like that. You have to be an eligible wrestler in order to do so," Jesse states.

"I am an eligible wrestler!"

"Yeah, down in FWE. This is ACW and in ACW, you're a backstage interviewer."

"Well, I'm tired of being a backstage interviewer! I wanna be where the competition's at. Look who you have in that Battle Royale, Bro. It is HUGE as Senpai's butt," PewDiePie blurts out.

Jesse blinks twice, "W-What? ...Whatever, look, if you were to convince me somehow to let you in this tourney, I would. Maybe if you gave me time to think about it, I could, too; but, it's too late. The tourney's over. Joey and Tristan won their match not too long ago."

"Oh, and guys like Duke, RC, and Spider-Man are in?" PewDiePie asks in disbelief.

"Devlin is the first-ever and youngest rookie to become the ACW Television Champion—and on his debut, no less! I've seen what RC Bane has done through his career in PCUW and AUW; he's qualified enough to join this Battle Royale. And as for Spider-Man, he defeated a former World Champion known as Sasuke Uchiha on his debut. That is mighty impressive," Jesse lists. "I'm sorry, Felix, but I can't allow you in the tourney."

"...Okay...you're the boss...but if there's one thing that you can't count on...it's the power of ze people!" PewDiePie implies as he poses with his fist raised high, confusing the hell out of Jesse. He looks at the camera, "Or should I say 'Bro Power'?"

"Felix, what are you doing?" Alvarez asks off-screen.

Pewds continues on, ignoring his boss, "You heard me right, Bros. I want in on this tourney and The Man isn't going to let me in. Do you Bros believe I should be in this tournament?"

"This is unnecessary, Pewds!" Jesse says off-screen.

"If you do, make sure to give me your support by putting up #LetPewdsJoinTheInternationalTourney!"

"That is way too long for a hashtag," Jesse deadpans off-screen.

"QUIET, BITCH!" Felix shouts to Jesse before returning his attention to the camera. "I'm not asking much from you Bros. All I want is a chance... (sings) a chance...to be a part of the tourneyyyyy... 'Cause I'm freeeeee...free falling, falling, falling, falling... So, let your voice be heard—or in this case, tweet be seen—via Twitter! I'll see you Bros later. (gives Bro Fist to the camera) Buh-HYYYYYYYE!"

"DAMN IT, PEWDIE!" Jesse shouts off-screen as the camera went black.


The scene changes from backstage to the announce table, where our commentators are found highly confused as f*ck. Kenji looks at Zack, who made an "I don't know" gesture, Markiplier scratching, and Barney was trying to figure out what he had just seen.

"...Uh...what the hell just happened?" Stinson queries.

"We...have seen PewDiePie wanting a shot in the International Championship Tourney...and is asking his Bros aka his fan-base...to give him the support he needs to join it..." Markiplier answers…sort of.

"...Your friend's an idiot, Mark," Kenji deadpans...as Zack is secretly texting the hashtag to support Felix and posts it...and Kenji sees it. "Damn it, Zack!"

"What?! I'm a believer and I believe deserves to join the tourney as well!" Zack states, making Kenji facepalm.

"...Your half-brother's a moron, dude," Barney says.

"Thank you, captain obvious," Matsuo pinches his nose bridge.

They got the dopest looks

Or feel apart in our melodies

If all you have is yourself

You're never going to need anyone else...]

As the lights turned purple, yellow and blue, the audience begin showering the arena with loud and vicious boos as Carly Shay and Sam Puckett walk out along with their manager, Freddie Benson. Sam simply scoffs the negative reaction as Carly flaunts herself and raises her hands up in a diva-like manner. The iCarly gang walks down the ramps with Sam keeping the stern expression and Carly steps on the apron just as Freddie holds the middle and bottom rope open for her to enter. Puckett enters through the ropes herself and Freddie steps off to head around the ring to grab a microphone as Maria Lopez sits down with a scowl and iGeneration stands at their adjacent corners with Sam raising both fists as Carly continues her "smile" and blows many kisses to her "fans."

[Popularity!

Everybody's talking with their own opinion

"The following tag team contest is set for one fall to the finish: accompanied by yours truly, Freddie Benson, they hail from 'The Emerald City' Settle, Washington, your future ACW Women's Tag Team Champions, at the unified weight of 255 pounds, no more, no less...THE TEAM OF CARLY SHAY AND SAM PUCKETT...iGeneratioooooooooooooooooooooooon!" Freddie announces proudly.

"I prefer to hear Maria's voice than that guy," Zack plain-faces.

"Hey, when Freddie speaks in that mic to introduce these future champs, it's a hell of a lot better," Barney smirks, then sees Freddie coming to sit at the announce table. "Oh-ho! Looks like we got another member at this announce table! Pleasure to have ya here, Freddie."

"Yeah, pleasure..." Kenji rolls his eyes.

Freddie puts on the headsets and responds to Matsuo, "You know, Mr. Matsuo, it's funny that you're the 'The Truthfully and Brutally Honest Man from the Land of Japan' when you are too damn stubborn to see the truth that Carly and Sam are your future Women's Tag Team Champions in this industry along with Mai as ACW Women's Champion and Aelita as CCW Females Champion."

"With how high their egos are along with yours, Benson, you're damn right I'm stubborn as hell," Kenji replies sternly.

"Pay no attention to Lenny, Freddie. I'm happy to have you at ringside to balance out this field of biased people," Barney states, glaring at his colleagues.

("So Beautiful, So Evil" by Digital Summer)

[From the moment she laid her eyes on me

I knew how dangerous she could be

Lips like a knife that cut through me

She takes advantage 'cause she knows I'm weak]

The crowd now had a mixed reaction for the first time when Kendra Daniels, Eliza Hart and Allison Wilson walk out to the stage with stern expressions as they glare at iGeneration in the ring. Kendra raises a fist to display her respect to the RR before walking down the ramps as Allison simply brushed her hair back and follows along with Eliza. When they made it to the steps, Allison walks up the steps into the ring as Eliza jumps on the apron and slingshots over the ropes, triggering silver pyro to shoot from the stage and posts when she landed on her feet. Allison leans against the ropes, facing the crowd as she and Eliza pose, flaunting themselves with their beauty and pound fists into their palms, saying they may be beautiful, but they'll hit hard. Kendra stands at ringside and scolds iGeneration, "You see them, brats?! Those two are your REAL Women's Tag Team Champs!"

[Come on, she says you know you want to...

Come on, come on, but then she owns you...

And I hate how somehow I always give in

To those lips that can paralyze

Though I know that she is the devil

She's so beautiful, so evil!]

"And their opponents: accompanied by Kendra Daniels, from Los Angeles, California and Tampa, Florida respectively, at a combined weight of 344 pounds, representing Evil Beauty, 'The Anaconda' Allison Wilson and 'The Black Widow' Eliza Hart!" Maria announces.

"Last week, Evil Beauty warned the Four Horsewomen to 'stay the hell out of their way' as they were highly upset of Mai, iGeneration, and Aelita coming into ACW to take over and rule the Women's Division when Kendra, Eliza and Allison have been in this company longer than they have," Markiplier recaps. "People can truly be territorial; not everyone can share the same spotlight."

"Kendra just needs realize that she had her chance to take over the Women's Division and lost it. She needs to get over herself and let new people like the Horsewomen challenge the 'champions' of this division," Freddie states. "But, since she wants to be the idiota and revolt against the faction that is the future, then that's her own fault and will have no one to blame but herself."

Once all four women were in the ring, Eliza Hart and Sam Puckett would be the first two that start the match as referee Corey Jackson calls for the bell after checking both teams. At the sound of the bell, Sam and Eliza walk up to each other and proceed in an aggressive collar-and-elbow lockup. Both women force their own power into each other for the moment before departing from the lockup as it shows both are equal. Eliza and Sam get in each other's faces to talk trash and the former points left for Sam to knock her down with a Shoulder Block...which the meat enthusiast does as she bounces off the ropes and knocks Eliza off her feet with a stiff Shoulder Block! Carly claps with a smug smirk as Sam shouts, "You got nothing on ME, bitch!" Puckett goes for the ropes again and—ELIZA DECPATIATES HER HEAD WITH A VICIOUS LARIAT, TRIPLE H STYLE! Allison and Kendra sneer as Eliza chuckles and she flexes her arms while saying, "Nah...it's you who's got nothing on ME, bitch."

"Goodness gravy, the power of Eliza Hart displayed with that sickening Lariat to Sam Puckett!" Markiplier shouts. "That actually knocked the wind out of her!"

"Tch, I know Sam well enough she's had tougher hits than that," Freddie scoffs. "Believe me, you're gonna see what 'The Enforcer' within Sam Puckett is about once the tide turns."

Eliza drops a hard knee into Sam's face before roughly picking her up and Irish Whipping her to the ropes, then Sam bounces off and Hart hoists the one-thirty-four pounder up in a Military Press Lift! She taunts iGeneration as she press lifts Sam up and down five times with a smirk, then quickly drops her on the mat with an Oklahoma Slam! The Black Widow drags the iCarly co-host to her corner and tags in Allison; she performs a Pendulum Backbreaker on Puckett as The Anaconda slingshots herself and nails a Leg Drop right across the tomboy's head. Allison then covers her as Jackson drops down for the pin: 1, 2—Sam kicks out at two! Allison heaves the meat enthusiast onto the middle rope as she has her knee forcing her against it, attempting to choke out as Corey forebodes to release the hold as he goes for the 5-count: 1...2...3...4...4.68 Allison backs away with a smirk and swiftly Shoot Kicks her opponent's back, making her shout in brief pain. Wilson runs to the ropes (while flipping off Carly), bounces off and—eats a surprise Clothesline from Sam that turns her inside out!

"Allison choking Sam out and probably looking for the Leapfrog Body Guillotine—WHOA! Sam just outsmarted The Anaconda with that Clothesline!" Zack shouts, detecting the match. "My goodness, that maneuver turned Allison inside out!"

"Exactly what I told you before, gentlemen! Sam Puckett is 'The Enforcer' of the Four Horsewomen for a good reason and you've just witnessed the power of your future Women's Tag Team Champion!" Freddie praises.

"...Can we seriously hire this guy as our new commentator?" Barney asks with a smirk.

"Not happening," Kenji denies.

Sam backs up to her corner while talking trash to Eliza, "Now THAT is real power, motherf*cker!" and Carly tags herself in. She stalks the Anaconda up to a vertical base and grabs her as she goes for the Style & Grace, but gets pushed away to the ropes and she rebounds with a Float-over Swinging Neckbreaker, then rolls backwards, still holding Allison's head, as she follows it with a Guillotine Choke with Bodyscissors. (Markiplier: Amazing flexibility by Carly Shay as she actually pushed all her weight over on top of her opponent with the Guillotine Choke after the Swinging Neckbreaker. ; Freddie: You're seeing proof itself, Mark, that why she's one-half of the GAIA Tag Team Champions and is the future ACW Women's Tag Team Champion!) Shay tightens the submission with her arm wrapped around Allison's neck and legs wrapped around the waist, trying to wear down the Anaconda so she may have the advantage for her team. It looked like Allison was going to pass out any second...but she clenches her hands into fists as she pounds them on the mat and begins to stand, albeit slowly. She grabs Carly's legs and struggles to pry them off her waist with all her might as the iCarly host also strives to keep her grip on her submission hold. Eventually, Wilson breaks the bodyscissors and counters Shay with a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging the hold into a pin: 1, 2...kick out at 2.83! Allison and Carly stand up in unison and the latter misses the Clothesline as the former charges the ropes, bounces off and tackles her opponent down with a Lou Thesz Press followed by swift right hands to the skull! All fired up, Allison rolls off and rebounds from the ropes again to flip off Carly and Sam Stone Cold style before landing a SHARP Pointed Elbow Drop to the face of Shay!

"Look at Allison Wilson go! She's on fire tonight! I've never seen her this energized before!" Kenji shouts.

"She's go the cover now! One! Two! Thre—Sam breaks up the pinfall in the nick of time and she's hammering away on the Anaconda! She did like not the insult from Allison!" Zack witnesses.

"No sh*t, Einstein!" Barney says.

Allison is blocking the punches as best she can from a raging Sam, who shouts in her face, "You wanna mock me like that, ya stinking wh*re?! Huh?!" Then, she would be shoved off by Eliza Hart with a Big Boot to the skull! As both powerhouses take care of their own business, Wilson is straining to stand at her vertical base while at the same time, Carly Shay is measuring her up from behind. Once The Anaconda stood, Carly suddenly grabs her and goes for the 8-C Driver (Over the shoulder Back-to-Belly Piledriver)...and Allison counters with an Arm Drag, taking Shay to the outside! Eliza slides back in the ring after taking care of Sam and she and Allison look at Kendra for an idea...and only motions with her finger, pointing at her teammates, then up...and right at iGeneration, who are currently regrouping. Allison and Eliza receive her message well with smirks as the former bounces off the ropes and the latter boosts her up in a Military Press Lift; Carly and Sam return to each other as they are looking to regroup in hopes of winning this match...but suddenly have Allison landing on top of them from Eliza dropping her from the ring! The Anaconda gradually rolls off the girls holding her abdomen, but lets out a determined scream as half the arena is on her side.

"Eliza Hart with the Military Press Drop to Allison Wilson on top of iGeneration and that's got The Anaconda fired up even more!" Markiplier shouts. "This is a side we've never seen out of Evil Beauty before; this goes to show how much they want iGeneration and rest of the Horsewomen out of their way!"

"Oh, this is looking bad for iGeneration! They must have something up their sleeve to counteract, right, Freddie?!" Barney asks...as the iCarly technician didn't respond...yet he's secretly smirking.

Carly gets picked up by Allison as she is thrown into the ring and the latter follows. Allison has her on her feet and sticks her head between her legs as she looks for the Package Piledriver, hooking the legs and arms together...but the brunette wiggles her limbs to escape the dangerous finisher, in which she does with a Back Body Drop. Carly then ducks a Clothesline and looks for the O'Connor Roll off the ropes and Allison holds onto the ropes as the iCarly co-host rolls away up on her feet. Allison swiftly kicks her in the abdomen and whips her to the ropes, then Carly executes the Handspring Back Elbow and it is INCOMPLETE when Allison Savate Kicks her spine. She grabs her and looks for the Package Piledriver—Sam Puckett bashes her with the Jobber Clobber! Reason for that is Sam tagged herself in as referee Jackson saw it and Puckett roughly sticks her head between her legs for the Puck It (Double Underhook Piledriver) and lifts her to execute it...and Allison lands on her feet instead and flips her over, having both shoulders down: 1, 2—Sam kicks out at 2.82! Sam grabs onto Allison's leg to prevent her from making a tag to Eliza, but eats a Dropkick, sending her flying back and The Anaconda tags in the Black Widow!

"Allison gets the tag to her partner, Eliza! Here comes the Black Widow!" Kenji states as Hart enters the ring and Clotheslines both Carly and Sam down! "Big Double-Clothesline from Eliza!"

"The tide is all on Evil Beauty now!" Markiplier comments.

As Carly is out of the ring, Eliza brings Sam up and receives a hard right hook, but fires one right back to her, and the trading session of fisticuffs is set on! The brawl continues on before Eliza ducked a right haymaker and runs to the ropes; she bounces off towards Sam, who suddenly lifts the Black Widow up with her own arms with all her might! (Zack: HOLY FUDGEBALLS! ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I'M SEEING, GUYS?! ; Markiplier: S-SAMANTHA PUCKETT IS CARRYING TWO-HUNDRED AND NINETEEN POUND ELIZA HART WITH PURE POWER! I can't believe my own eyes! ; Freddie: The tide is now turning for the future, gentlemen! ; Barney: I'm seeing it clearly, Freddie, ha-ha!) Puckett, grinning, press lifts Hart up to five times before slamming her down with an Oklahoma Slam! Sam turns around and eats a Springboard Clothesline—NO! Sam catches Allison in her arms and tosses her through the ropes via Fallaway Slam, sending her crashing into Kendra Daniels! Cracking her neck as Carly stands on the apron, Sam lifts Eliza again, but on her shoulders in an Argentine Rack, then Carly springboards off the ropes and iGeneration executes iDestruction to the Black Widow!

"iDestruction by iGeneration—the same tag team maneuver used to help them win on their debut! Flawless and deadly as usual!" Barney grins.

"Carly and Sam will appreciate that comment very much once they hear it, Mr. Stinson," Freddie chuckles.

Sam turns Eliza on her back as she roughly hooks the leg and Carly places her feet on her opponent's face with a sneer, showing complete disrespect as referee Jackson drops for the pinfall: 1!

"Bada Bing!"

2!

"Bada Boom!"

3!

"Forget About It!" Barney completes the bell rings.

"iGeneration takes the pinfall!" Markiplier calls.

"Thank you for your time, gentlemen," Freddie grins as he leaves the announce table.

("Popularity" by Jonezetta)

Maria attempted to make the revelation, but sees Freddie coming for the microphone and she could do nothing but pass it to him; Freddie declares with such bias and pride in his voice, "Here are your obvious winners of this match...Carly Shay and Sam Puckett, iGeneratioooooooooooooooon!"

He drops the microphone to slide in the ring and raise both arms of iGeneration, who are on cloud nine for this win as Kendra, while favoring her head and sitting against the barricade, was seething along with Allison. Freddie proclaims to the audience off-mic, "No matter what, whether you like it or not, these two are your future ACW Women's Tag Team Champions and you know it is the truth!" The iCarly trio depart from the ring just as Kendra and Allison entered at the same time and checked on Eliza. iGeneration back up on the ramps as Kendra glared at them from the ring, stating, "This is far...from over... We're not out just yet, damn it...!" Carly smirks with arms folded as she replies, "It was over before it even began, haggy. Learn your place." All the while, the camera had changed to the upper area as Mai Valentine, Aelita Schaeffer, and Zoey Brooks are at a luxury box appearing to be drinking some fine wine with smug smirks, tipping themselves to a drink for iGeneration's victory.

"While iGeneration are celebrating their triumphed match, we are seeing the other two of the Four Horsewomen along with our backstage interviewer, Zoey Brooks, members of the Queendom... They're just enjoying the luxury life, aren't they?" Kenji queries.

"Of course they are, Quinsy! They're the Four Horsewomen! They deserve to live the life of extravagance because they just do and everyone only boos at them out of jealousy considering these women get to live the good life while others don't," Barney implies smugly.

"Well, I don't think Evil Beauty is jealous of the luxury—they are jealous and angry considering The Four Horsewomen are taking over this division when they were here to do that...but it seems the Horsewomen are looking to do that themselves," Markiplier states.

"This division sure just isn't big enough for two female heel factions," Zack muses as the camera switches to the Titantron, which had the main event match card onscreen. "But, for right now, guys, we're switching to the opposite gender because coming up next, it is the HUGE tag team main event featuring 'The Deathmatch Icon' Spin the Hedgehog, 'The Beast of Geats' Beowulf, 'The Rated-R Reaper' Ichigo Kurosaki, and the ACW Undisputed Champion, 'The Orange Spark' Naruto Uzumaki going against Hattori Hanzo, 'The Billion Dollar King' Kurt Hudson, the ACW Hardcore Champion, 'The Gore Machine' Jason Krueger, and 'The Lone Uchiha' Sasuke Uchiha! ...Well, that was a mouthful."

"That is certainly what she said, Zack...and it is what brunette girl said to me last night. Self-five!" Barney says as he high fives himself. "But, yes, it is a HUGE main event and this is one you cannot miss, people!"

"People proclaim we always have the best action with tag team action...and we're gonna show them why once we come back from commercial," Markiplier states.

[Commercial Break]


After reappearing from the break, the camera shows Sasuke Uchiha standing alone as he wraps his wrists up in black wrestling tape respectively, preparing for the main event match. Finishing it up, he puts the tape aside and proceeds to walk to the Gorilla Position...but stops as "The Gore Machine" Jason Krueger steps in front of him. Needless to say, Sasuke wasn't in the mood to talk, much less to someone like Krueger.

"...Whatever you have to say...get it over with... We have a match to compete in soon and I'd rather not waste my time unless you want your skull punted," Sasuke states with a dark scowl.

"Cute threat...but even so, I will Gore you before you can even blink... What I'm here for is different. I'm only here to tell you...that no one...not you, that arrogant greedy asshole, Hudson, or that mercenary, Hattori...lays a finger on Ichigo Kurosaki because that orange-haired bastard is MINE. He is my business...no one else's... You got it? I don't give a damn about you three nor my opponents. Ichigo is on my list to DESTROY...and the second you or anyone else gets in my way...I won't hesitate to strike them down with...a...GORE...GORE...GORE...!" Jason snarls.

Sasuke stares coldly into the hazel eyes of the ACW Hardcore Champion, who glares right back to Uchiha's onyx's eyes as he snarls silently with his razor sharp-like teeth showing...and the Uchiha's only response is a smirk as he says, "I have no problem with that... Ichigo is none of my business anyway...neither is Beowulf or that idiot, Spin...but I am going to say the same warning to you, Krueger... You try to get in my way...I won't hesitate myself to annihilate YOU... I'm always...going to be a step ahead of someone, even a monster like you... Now, come on...we have a match to get to. I suggest you move NOW."

The Undisputed Championship Contender walks past the Hardcore Titleholder as he heads for the Gorilla Position. Krueger could only glare at Uchiha leaving before following him.


"Jason Krueger and Sasuke Uchiha as a cohesive unit...yeah, that's a team bound to go bad for these two and us," Barney states. "You got two psychopaths bent on destroying their opponents and they would rather kill each other than work together."

"...Why does that sound familiar?" Zack asks himself.

"You know, Stinson, that's the first logical sentence you've spoke since you came here," Kenji says, earning a glare from Barney.

"Oh, ha-ha. Doesn't mean you have the right to be a smartass," Barney implies.

"Okay, moving on, guys, while we are moments away from the main event, let's take a quick peek at our match card for tomorrow's Saturday Night RAMPAGE," Markiplier says as the camera changes to the Titantron and "Cross the Line" by AD/AM plays from the loudspeakers. "Tomorrow, we have three scheduled matches for our event and the first match we show you now is a female tag team match featuring Highschool of the Dead's Saeko Busujima and Saya Takagi versus 'The Billion Dollar Queen' Alyssa Parker and Ashley Storm!"

"These girls have been looking for a rematch since last week and they're finally going to get it this Saturday on RAMPAGE III. Rei evened up the numbers with Trish Warrington in our opening match; can her teammates do the same against Ashley and Alyssa?" Zack queries. "Next, for the first time since Reign in Blood, 'The Whole Damn Show' Duke Devlin returns to action as he goes one-on-one against 'The Spirit of Darkness' Ryo Bakura! And I don't mean the original, nice Ryo Bakura, ladies and gents; I mean the dark, vile, cruel, and twisted Yami Bakura—the same mean demon who makes you wet your pants in his promos and who Takashi will face in Monster's Ball come Retribution! ...He's dead."

Kenji only rolls his eyes before announcing, "And for our third match, the ACW Television Championship will be on the line as 'Cunning Wolf' Luke Smit defends it against...whoever may accept this challenge. We don't exactly know who is facing Smith in nearly twenty-four hours, but soon enough, we will."

"And now, the matches as recently announced from tonight, it is Dante versus James Griffin for the first time!" Barney publicizes. "The Crimson Showstopper versus The Bully of ACW! The United States Champion versus the Intercontinental Champion once again, but with Griffin being the latter! A match I will look forward to see Griffin break Dante's back."

"Only you, Barney. And finally, for the first time as well, it is Carter Young and Stan Terra, Alpha & Omega, facing Venom and Carnage—Eddie Brock Jr. and Cletus Kasady—The Symbiotes!" Markiplier declares. "Alpha & Omega said they made their statement against the most insane, cruel and psychopathic team tonight shockingly and there is no doubt in my mind that The Symbiotes are PISSED and you can't blame them for being in that mood."

"Let's see, with a pair of rookies disrupting a match and making The Symbiotes look weak in the ring...yeah, you can't say you blame them," Kenji says.

"This match is just going to be nothing but trouble... Oh, I feel so bad for Ned and Logan should they get in the crossfires of Venom and Carnage...especially Logan," Barney utters.

The bell rings three times as Maria announces the match, "The following main event is an Eight-Man Tag Team Match and it is set for one fall to the finish!"

("I Come from Money" by S-Preme)

[I come from money

I come from class

These ladies love me for all my cash

Won't let nobody spoil my dream

'Cause I got money

And I can do anything]

The crowd goes into a booing reaction as green lights surrounds the arena and Kurt Hudson walks out through the curtain with his bodyguard Hattori Hanzo walking alongside. Hudson walks down the ramp as Hattori follows with a smug grin. The two make at the apron as Kurt slides in the ring and Hattori enters the ring from the steps. By then, Kurt spreads his arms out wide with an arrogant grin as he proclaims proudly, "I! AM! MONEY!" and the fans that boo lay the absolute hate to him, and he proudly takes it in, not giving a damn about what they have to say.

"Introducing first: from New York City, New York and Los Angeles, California respectively, at a combined weight of 457 pounds, Hattori Hanzo and 'The Billion Dollar King' Kurt Hudson!" Maria announces.

"Kurt has had a huge problem with Beowulf since the Playground of Blood and when the Beast of Geats won the crown when Hudson proclaimed that he should've been king," Zack informs. "We've seen that jealousy happen when Hudson and Hanzo attacked Beowulf and the debuting Spin."

"He should have been king, Zack! Hudson has the right to take out Beowulf and take the crown away because it was stolen from him!" Barney states. "What happened at Reign in Blood was a complete tragedy! By the time they will face each other at Rebellion—which was confirmed official by the board early tonight, by the way—Hudson will be the first man to kill the streak that is Beowulf's."

The crowd gives a mixed reaction with boos being overheard mostly as Jason Krueger walks out moments later to the music in gray lights. He holds the ACW Hardcore Championship belt in one hand as he has a vicious scowl on his face, his maniacal hazel eyes staring at the ring. He raises his title and a fist into the air, then walks down the ramp, placing the title on his shoulder, and gets on the apron to enter the ring. Once then, Krueger stands at the corner and raises up his Hardcore Championship as he stares at the gold, clinging onto it in his hand like it was his child.

"Next, their partner: representing the Rookie Revolution, from Newark, New Jersey, weighing in at 233 pounds, he is the ACW Hardcore Champion, 'The Gore Machine' Jason Krueger!" Maria announces.

"Out of everyone in the ACW RR District, Jason Krueger is the only one to hold an ACW title in the main roster. He is determined to beat Ichigo to a bloody pulp and keep the Hardcore Championship in his hands come Rebellion," Kenji states.

"If that doesn't spell insanity, I don't know what does," Zack adds.

"It may be insanity, but you know this is Jason Krueger we're talking here and whenever he gets in the ring or is being interviewed or is cutting a promo, you know sh*t is going to hit the fan," Barney states. "We've seen him and Ichigo fight each other to near death three weeks ago and I believe Krueger is looking to do it again in just two weeks."

The crowd bursts into a HUGE negative reaction as Sasuke Uchiha walks out to the stage with the stoic expression upon his face. Sasuke begins his slow walk down the ramps on the way to the ring, looking intimidating at the moment, while fans jeer at him along the way. As he makes it at ringside, he stops and slowly looks around the arena from left to right, clearly not caring for Oklahoma City's reaction to him. He then turns to his left to the steel steps where he walks up and enters the ring. By the time he reaches the corner he walks forward to, he stands on the second turnbuckle, scanning throughout the booing crowd before splaying his arms in a Legend Killer-pose.

[I am in control, I haven't lost my mind

I'm picking up the pieces of the past you left behind

I don't need your condescending

Words about me looking lonely

I don't need your arms to hold me

'Cause misery is waiting on me!

I am not alone—not beaten down just yet!

I am not afraid of the voices in my head!

Down the darkest road, something follows me!

I am not alone 'cause misery loves my company!

...

(Misery loves my company!)]

"And finally: formerly residing from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, weighing in at 225 pounds, Sasuke Uchiha!" Maria announces.

"Two weeks ago on Ignition I, everyone—the fans in the arena and around the FWM, us commentators, our main roster—EVERYONE witnessed the most disturbing moment with Sasuke putting Naruto in the brink of destruction as he could've ended him...and Sakura Haruno appeared to stop and tame the beast..." Markiplier halts his sentence for the moment before sighing, "...but it was for nothing as Sasuke attacked Sakura with the Sharingan Impact."

"It was a moment that cannot be unseen nor forgotten...nor forgiven," Kenji implies, a slightly cold tone in his voice with that last word. "It was the absolute true beginning of the destruction of Sasuke's mentality... You gotta ask yourself this, if Sasuke doesn't win and if he can't challenge Naruto anymore for the Undisputed Championship...what can he do then?"

"...Kenny, that's a question not even I can answer, even if I want to," Barney admits. "Who knows what Sasuke can do if he loses at Rebellion? Honest to the Big Bro upstairs...I'm really hoping he wins it 'cause I'd rather not get in his path if the loss happens."

("Endless Possibility" by Jaret Reddick)

[This is my escape

I'm running through this world and I'm not looking back

And I know I can go where no one's ever gone

And I'm not looking back

But how will I know when I get there?

And how will I know when to leave?

We've all gotta start from somewhere

It's right there for me

The possibilities are never ending!]

Crowds stood on their feet in a rowdy response (mostly the UWE fans who were in attendance) as a rodent covered in black and purple fur, unique feature of a ripped-off left ear, and shown with a huge smile on his face recognized as the one and only Spin the Hedgehog. The Deathmatch Icon chuckles to the cheering fans before looking to the camera and says, "Oh, I'm looking forward to kick some butt, especially Kurt's... Hi, Tammy!" He waves to the camera, then turns his attention to the ring and walks his way there while passing high-fives to his fellow and devoted fans. He makes it to ringside and slides under the bottom rope, then stands on his feet to raise two fists in the air and garners cheers from the crowd.

[I see it, I see it

And now it's all within my reach!

Endless possibility!

I see it, I see it now

It's always been inside of me!

(And now I feel so free!)

Endless possibility!]

"Introducing their opponent first: from Southern Island, Mobius, weighing in at 268 pounds, 'The Deathmatch Icon' Spin the Hedgehog!" Maria announces.

"This insane and lovable hedgehog debuted for the first time on ACW when he face Beowulf in an excellent match to a loss, but he still holds great respect for his friend despite losing," Zack informs. "After the match, however, well, we've already explained it to you."

"Honestly, I'm still wondering why the hell our bosses would buy this moron's contract from IWF. They should've just let someone else take him or let him rot in UWE without a single Omega Championship win forever," Barney says. "What I will look forward as well is seeing either Hanzo or Kurt break down Spin to pieces."

("Who's Next?" by Jim Johnston)

The crowd explodes into cheers as the lights turn gold and after nearly a minute has passed, the yellow pyro sparks shower left and right, and Beowulf walks out to the stage with his head lowered, and then golden sparks shower at him from both sides as the crowd roars even louder in cheers. Moments later, the shower stops and Beowulf looks up with great intensity at the ring as he breathes out smoke from the fireworks like a dragon. He never took his eyes off the squared circle as he stares at it before walking down the ramps despite his injured left leg. Arriving at ringside, the King of Blood climbs onto the apron and stares throughout the whole arena before entering the ring and walks to the ropes, where he faces the fans bellows with intensity by hanging off the ropes and fans react back with their cheers.

"From the Land of Geats, weighing in at 275 pounds, 'The Beast of Geats' Beowulf!" Maria announces.

"Beowulf is at a record of 9-0 and it is amazing he's still wanting to be in this match despite the nearly injured leg caused by Kurt Hudson," Kenji states.

"He's the Beast of Geats for a good reason, Kenji. You know the legend of all the deeds he's done: he's fought Grendel and ripped off its arm, killed its mother, and fought off the Fire Drake before dying in battle as a king," Markiplier notes. "To Beowulf, an injure leg apparently just means a flesh wound."

"Oh, just stop the crappy praising and realize the facts, you guys. I mean, yes, Beowulf is young in FWM time, but in reality, he's at least over two-thousand years old, and that is OLD. Kurt is only doing Beowulf a favor by putting the old king out of his misery so he can take the crown and take over the kingdom with a new and better ruling," Barney states.

[You think you know me...]

("Metalingus" by Alter Bridge)

The fans instantly cheers loudly as the strobe lights flash red, white, and black all over the arena on and off as the guitars pick up and over the Titantron, a thick grey fog begins to form on the stage.

[On this day, I see clearly

Everything has come to life

A bitter place and a broken dream

And we'll leave it all behind

On this day, it's so real to me

Everything has come to life

Another chance to chase a dream

Another chance to feel...

Chance to feel aliiiiiiiiiive!]

Once the lyrics were spoken, Ichigo Kurosaki runs out of the fog and, despite his injured ribs, is gesturing people to get pumped up on one side of the stage and runs to the other side to do the same. He starts walking down the ramps before stopping himself and takes two steps back with a grin, staying in the middle of the ramps. He lowers his head with a stance before breathing deeply and throws his arms up in rock signs as fireworks shoot like a machine gun from the stage with the colors of red, white and black. Once done, Ichigo looks at the ring and walks his way. The Rated-R Reaper then slides into the ring and walks over to the corner, where he stands on the second rope (while glaring at Jason, who glares back) and has his hands up in rock horns.

"From Karakura Town, Japan, weighing in at 145 pounds, "The Rated-R Reaper" Ichigo Kurosaki!" Maria announces.

"Surprisingly on Ignition I, Ichigo Kurosaki arrived to challenge Jason Krueger into a rematch for the ACW Hardcore Championship and the champion accepted the challenge to make sure Ichigo never challenges him again," Zack summarizes.

"And I know people like me are wanting to see that. Seriously, what is gonna take to get Strawberry off Jason's back?! Give the guy a break already!" Barney growls in irritation. "The second Ichigo loses at Rebellion, I'm expecting him to move on to another title or just stay at the hospital. Hopefully the latter!"

("I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin)

[FALL!]

Yellow pyrotechnics explodes from the stage and Naruto Uzumaki walks out to a cheering crowd with a smirk on his face. He looks all around the arena as he drapes his Undisputed Championship belt over his shoulder and gives the fans his signature two-finger salute before running past the crowd to the ring and sliding inside. He stands up to stare at the crowd, scanning the whole arena, then picks up his belt to raise it high with both hands above his head, earning louder cheers from the crowd while slowly glaring at Sasuke, who stands outside the ring with the same stare to his rival.

[Now the dark begins to rise; save your breath, it's far from over

Leave the lost and dead behind; now's your chance to run for cover

I don't want to change the world; I just wanna leave it colder

Light the fuse and burn it up; take the path that leads to nowhere

All is lost again...

But I'm not giving in...!

I will not bow! I will not break!

I will shut the world away...

I will not fall, I will not fade!

I will take your breath away!

...

FALL!]

"And their final partner: from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, weighing in at 228 pounds, he is the ACW Undisputed Champion, 'The Orange Spark' Naruto Uzumaki!" Maria announces.

"Ladies and gents, the ACW Undisputed Champion...has arrived!" Zack declares.

"We saw Naruto last week calling out his former best friend / eternal rival after what we witnessed two weeks ago and wanted a match with him to settle the score once and for all. In just sixteen days, we will witness Naruto and Sasuke go to WAR at Rebellion...in a Do or Die Three Stages of Hell Match for the ACW Undisputed Championship," Markiplier clarifies. "If Sasuke does not win, he will never challenge Naruto for as long he's champion."

"I already said my piece, so I'm not going to repeat myself...but I will say this: if Sasuke doesn't win, I'm certainly hoping that Naruto feels guilty for even thinking this absurd stipulation," Barney says.

"And may I add to that, Stinson, the board and ACW had no other choice but to do this because of what happened on Ignition I. No one would want that to repeat itself once again," Kenji affirms. "This is the only way to stop this rivalry from spilling out much worse and hurting others...at least in ACW... Others...I wish them luck."

When the introductions were finally over and after the teams settled in their corners, it was decided that Spin and Sasuke would be the first ones to begin the match. Referee Marshall Eriksen checks if both men ready and with their nods, he calls for the bell to ring. At the sound of the bell, Sasuke and Spin circle the ring for the moment...and suddenly, Sasuke nails Naruto with a Forearm Smash that sends him crashing down the floor! (Kenji: What the hell was that?! Spin's the one Sasuke's wrestling in the ring, not Naruto! ; Barney: Senji, that's just a reminder to Naruto that there'll be more where that came from at Rebellion.) As Marshall scolds Sasuke, he swiftly turns his attention to Spin as he kicks him in the midsection and throws him flying between the turnbuckles and crashing shoulder-first into the turnbuckle post. After pulling him out of the corner, Sasuke lifts Spin on his shoulders with Elevated Gutwrench Neckbreaker and executes it with authority. He gets on top of Spin for the pin: 1—Spin kicks out at 1.2. Sasuke then jumps high and hits a Leaping Knee Drop to the skull of the hedgehog; he sits him up with a tight headlock as is just firing his right fist down on Spin's forehead mercilessly. He finishes it with a harsh Knee Strike to the spine, hits the ropes, and rebounds with a Running Low-angle Dropkick to the face of Spin.

"Sasuke is currently dominating Spin as of now and he's not even giving him a chance to recover or fight back," Zack detects.

"That would be the point here in this contest because the second Spin is given a chance to gain the momentum, that rat is going to take it and make sure his team comes out on top," Barney states. "Sasuke is playing the smart strategy of keeping Spin away from his team and making sure the tide is all on his own."

Sasuke drags the Deathmatch Icon over to his corner and tags in Kurt, who enters the ring and begins a series of mudhole stomps to the midsection of his opponent. Kurt stands Spin against the corner and says in his face, "You should've stayed in that trash heap known as UWE, rat!" Hudson then brings him out of the corner with an Irish Whip to the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a Money $lam (Legsweep STO). Spin gradually stands on his feet before getting caught for the Hudson $treet, but he counters with elbows to the kidneys and escapes it, then hits his Fate Changer. The Deathmatch Icon forces Hudson for an attempted Powerbomb, going for the Pain Bringer, but comes crashing down on the mat when Kurt shifted his weight on the shoulders. Quickly, Kurt went over to his corner and tags in Hattori Hanzo. The mercenary of the Billion Dollar King comes into the ring measuring Spin before landing a series of various Forearm Smashes and elbows to the skull followed by a Hammer Throw. Spin bounces off the ropes and eats a stiff Back Elbow from Hanzo, who trails the maneuver with a vast Leg Drop across the head.

"So far, it has been nothing but Hattori and his team keeping the momentum on their side and keeping Spin down. This guy really knows what he's doing and I like how merciless he is towards his opponent," Barney smirks.

"As Spin takes all this damage, his teammates are just begging to be tagged in to enter this match," Kenji observes. "They know Spin is in trouble right now and one of them needs to get the tag in immediately."

Hanzo was then grinding his forearm across the forehead of Spin, who is letting out brief groans and shouts of pain. By then, he drags him to the ropes and drapes his body over the second rope, then heads to the ropes, bounces off, and Leapfrog Body Guillotines NOTHING as Spin moved away! Hanzo favors his lower regions after they landed on the ropes and Spin picks him up with a Knife Edge Chop to the chest and Hammer Throws him right in his corner. As Hattori nurses his back, Spin tags in Beowulf and the Deathmatch Icon ascends the mercenary on the top turnbuckle while Beowulf stands ready behind them. Once both men were on top, Spin leaps on the shoulders and flips Hanzo with a Super Hurricanrana and Beowulf catches him with a Powerbomb! Beowulf keeps the hold in for the pin: 1, 2—Hanzo kicks out at 2.5! Beowulf seizes Hattori on his feet and lifts him in his shoulder for an Oklahoma Ram to the turnbuckles, but Hanzo slips and Beowulf hits chest-first to the corner. Then, Hattori hoists him on his shoulders with an Argentine Rack and goes for the Inverted Death Valley Driver, but Beowulf lands on his feet! However, the landing may have tweaked his injured leg a moment and swings his right arm for a Clothesline, but Hanzo ducked it and hits a Clothesline/Chop Block combo to the bad leg!

"And Hanzo changes the momentum back to his side with that Clothesline to the injured leg of the King of Blood!" Markiplier states. "The adrenaline nearly changed for Beowulf's side, but Hanzo took it away as he knocks down the Beast of Geats by the leg."

"The mercenary performed a smart strategy right there as he targets the opponent's weakest point and the more he can damage it, the more Beowulf is down and can't fight back," Barney implies. "Oh, Kurt's wanting in now. He wants to make Beowulf suffer."

Kurt ordered Hanzo to tag him in and without a care, the mercenary tags in his boss as he pins his arms behind him and said King of Money started beating down Beowulf with raining fists to the temple. The two then set Beowulf up for a tag team maneuver and plant him with a Double Suplex. Kurt sits Beowulf up to smack him around the head disrespectfully while talking trash to him. He pushes his face down and stomps on it, causing the King of Blood to thrash in pain while nursing his face. He grabs onto the damaged leg and hits a Snap DDT to the limb, then turns Beowulf over for the Single Leg Boston Crab, trapping him in the middle of the ring as he screams in pain. Marshall checks on the Beast of Geats to see if he wants to surrender, but he refuses to do so. Hudson stretches the leg far back to make Beowulf shout in utter agony, the Geatish Warrior clinging onto the canvas as he struggles to keep fighting the hold. He was told to out by Kurt and he shakes his head as he growls and crawls to the ropes. With all his might, Beowulf is dragging his whole body to the edge of the ring as he goes for the rope break while Hudson is using all his power to stay in his spot, but his opponent deemed too powerful for him. However, he shifts the Half Boston Crab up into an STF to have all his weight on top of the epic hero...but Beowulf slowly overpowers the STF and grabs onto the bottom rope!

"Hudson is doing all he can to make Beowulf surrender his will, but it seems the king still has some fire within him as he grabs the ropes!" Kenji says.

"Is that enough to take the momentum away from our REAL king? Methinks not!" Barney believes.

The Billion Dollar King scowls at Beowulf's willpower as he yanks him away from the ropes and roughly picks him up with a Shin Breaker—Beowulf slips and lands behind Hudson, then strikes him down with the Snap Swinging Neckbreaker! Both Hudson and Beowulf were flat on the mat, but the Geatish Warrior had enough energy to scuttle over to his corner as his teammates had their hands extended out for the tag, mostly Spin's, though. Hudson lifts his head up and now begins heading to his team's corner just as Beowulf tags in Ichigo; the Rated-R Reaper charges in and Hudson tags out in time to Jason Krueger, who was more than happy to enter the ring and start a massive trading of fists to his challenger! (Barney: Rebellion seems to have come early, guys! Look at Jason and Ichigo go at it in the ring! ; Markiplier: If anything, this just may be a preview of what will happen come in just two weeks! These two absolutely hate each other!) During that fistfight, Jason misses the shot as Ichigo bounces off the ropes and goes for the Spear—nope! Jason sidesteps him and goes for an attempted Gore himself and MISSES it as he flies through the ropes, but hangs on for dear life! Krueger slowly gets back on the apron and gets knocked off by Ichigo's Spear-like maneuver as he lands gut-first onto the barricade! As the fans are cheering for the momentum changing to the faces' side, Ichigo smirks and raises rock horns in the air, taunting Jason, who is favoring his abdomen in the crowd.

"In that quick moment, Ichigo has suddenly switched the odds against his team and is now on top as the Hardcore Champion is outside! Unbelievable!" Markiplier exclaims. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have to take quick break for commercial, but do not go away! The action will be seen again when Friday Night Ignition returns!"

[Commercial Break]


We return to the main event match as Jason is nailing multiple Shoulder Thrusts to Ichigo in a neutral corner before proceeding in kneeing him right in the midsection and nailing a Gutwrench Suplex.

"Evening, everyone, we are back on Friday Night Ignition and as you can see, Krueger is overpowering his challenger for Rebellion and how that happen was during the break," Kenji says as a replay is shown. "Ichigo had brought Jason out of the crowd and attempted a Suplex onto the barricade, but the champion had reversed it into his own modified Powerbomb to Ichigo on the apron."

"Always a step ahead, Jason is. He may not always be there due to his mentality, but he knows how to counteract his opponents in the ring," Barney states.

Ichigo is sat up by the Gore Machine as he lands stiff elbows down on the top of his skull to give him a major headache. Once through with that, Krueger pulls him by the hair and hits a Hair-pull Backbreaker to the Shinigami. He sees his hands seem to have actually hold onto small pieces of orange hair and chuckles darkly as he traces it all over the mat with a vile grin. Krueger drags Ichigo onto the second rope and stands on top of him with both feet as he pulls back the top rope, going to great measures in choking him out as Eriksen is starting the 5-count: 1...2...3...4...4.9 Jason releases the hold and kicks Ichigo away from the ropes. The Gore Machine roughly stands him up and tosses him against his corner as Sasuke tags himself in, confusing and angering his partner. Krueger demanded to know what is he doing and Sasuke only responded that he's had his fun. This made Jason scowl heavily and enter the apron as Sasuke hammers away on the Rated-R Reaper.

"It doesn't look like Sasuke and Jason are on equal terms for tonight since the challenger for the Undisputed Title tagged himself in. This immediately spells trouble for the team," Zack notes.

"Don't you jinx it, Zachery! Nope! Not gonna happen!" Barney says.

Sasuke brings Ichigo to the ropes and Irish Whips him, looking for a Body Back Drop, but is kicked in the chest. Kurosaki looks for the Clothesline and Sasuke suddenly counters with a Snap Scoop Powerslam! Sasuke dusts his hands off with a smirk and hooks the leg: 1, 2—Ichigo kicks out at 2.49. Sasuke's scowl returned on his face as he mounts Ichigo and rains fists to the temple before crudely standing him up and nailing a hard Side Mat Slam. Sasuke then begins his series of stomping to the left arm and leg...then the right leg...right arm...and hits a Leaping Knee Drop to the head. Sasuke drags Ichigo over and tags in Kurt as the Billion Dollar King slingshots himself and lands the elbow on Ichigo's sternum. He pins him, but Ichigo gets the kick out again at two. By the time Hudson brings Ichigo to the center, he proceeds to set him up...for the Wulfhammer. (Markiplier: Oh, you gotta be kidding me; no way is Kurt going for the Wulfhammer! ; Barney: This is adding insult to injury...and I am liking it. Do it, Hudson! End Ichigo right here!) The Fortune Monarch gets the arm over his neck and lifts Ichigo over...and he lands on his feet behind Kurt, then shoves him right into Jason! Kurt stumbles back for a Clothesline, but Ichigo twists it around into a Reapercution, drilling his head on the canvas!

"Reapercution executed!" Zack shouts. "This is the opening Ichigo needs! Can he take advantage?!"

"I'm hoping not!" Barney pleads.

Ichigo rolls over up to his corner as Kurt sits up and tries to stop him...but he makes the tag to Naruto! The Orange Spark rushes inside the ring and Clothesline Kurt and another to the incoming Hanzo, then hits a Dropkick to Sasuke, sending him flying to the padded floor! Naruto looks to land a few punches to the temple then go for an Irish Whip, but is countered and pulled into a kick to the midsection. Kurt bounces off the ropes with a Clothesline and gets knocked down with a Back Elbow! Naruto kicks him in the gut when he stood up, then hits the ropes and hops over with a Throwback to the Billion Dollar King as he plants his face. Kurt stands one more time and Naruto kicks him in the gut followed by a vast Fisherman Suplex. The Undisputed Champ is beginning to feel fired up as he pounds his chest...and gets GORED by Krueger as if from out of thin air! Anarchy commences as Ichigo just charged in and takes down Jason on the canvas, both men taking care of business while Beowulf and Spin take their fight to Hudson and Hanzo!

"Goodness gravy, Jason wasn't going to take Naruto gaining momentum and took the chance to ruin it, but instead has caused possibly bedlam around here as both teams are settling their differences right now!" Markiplier exclaims.

"I already don't like where this may head to!" Barney shouts.

The Beast of Geats flies his right hand fists into Kurt's temple to make him pay for the attack last week and attempts and Irish Whip, but is counteracted with a Short-arm Lariat! He then attacks Spin from behind as he was fighting Hattori and both men were stomping him down; after that, Hanzo picked up the hedgehog with his arms folded back and Hudson went for the kill with a Discus Elbow Smash, adding insult to injury...and hits it to Hattori instead when Spin evaded it! The Deathmatch Icon bounces off the ropes and hits a mean Running Single Leg Dropkick to the face of the Billion Dollar King! As he rolls out, Spin prepares to take out Hattori with his KO Elbow...swivels forward...and nails NOTHING as Hanzo twists him around, kicks him in the gut and nails—Spin turns around with a shove and grabs Hattori for the Pain Bringer...and finally hits it! The mercenary had rolled away in pain as Spin gave a simple thumbs up with a goofy smile to the crowd...until being GORED by The Gore Machine! Spin rolls out of the ring nursing his head as Jason bellows with fists raised and—SPEAR! Spear from "The Rated-R Reaper" Ichigo Kurosaki! Ichigo raises his hands up in rock horns as he stands triumph in the ring over Jason...until being planted with a Sharingan Impact by Sasuke! The Lone Uchiha stomps his fists on the canvas like a venomous snake before standing up to raise his arms à la Legend Killer and turns around into a lift on Naruto's shoulders followed by a Ninja's Way! The Orange Spark hollers loudly to the audience with fists clenched and the fire still burns within him as he picks up Kurt to finish him off with another Ninja's Way...and flips him—Kurt lands behind him and pokes him right in the eye!

"Another Ninja's Way about to execute—no, Kurt takes a step ahead! Hell yes!" Barney encourages.

"All he did was poke Naruto's eye out! That was a cheap shot!" Kenji calls.

"Cheap shot, blah, blah! Whatever crap you can call it, it WORKED for Hudson!" Barney retorts.

Eriksen saw the shortcut Hudson made and scolded him, yet he didn't care as he shoved him out of the way and grabs Naruto for his Hudson $treet and connects it! The arrogant King of Money takes the pin: 1...2...Naruto gets his foot on the rope! However, Kurt thinks he got the three-count and celebrates, but Marshall denied his "winnings" when Naruto got the foot on the rope. Both men argued and Hudson was close to punching out Eriksen, but brushed him off. Kurt brings Naruto on his knees before being lifted up and RAKES his eyes out to escape the Ninja's Way. After that cheap getaway, Hudson prepares the Hudson $treet once more and BEOWULF SPEARS HIM DOWN WITH BRUTAL FORCE! The King of Blood leaps up and bellows at the top of his lungs before nursing his leg, but kicks the pain as he brings Kurt on his feet, drapes the arm over, lifts him off his feet, and plants the Wulfhammer!

"Wulfhammer! Beowulf hits the Spear and a Wulfhammer afterwards!" Markiplier shouts. "He's going for the pin!"

"What?! No! That can't be legal! He can't be the legal man! Marshall, do something about this, damn it!" Barney yells.

Beowulf gets the leg hooked on Kurt...and Marshall drops down for the pin: 1! (Anata!) 2! (Desu!) 3! (Kansei!)

"HABUSKI! That's all she wrote for this main event!" Markiplier calls.

"Are you kidding me?!" Barney shouts.

("Who's Next?" by Jim Johnston)

"The winners of this match: Ichigo Kurosaki, Spin the Hedgehog, Naruto Uzumaki and Beowulf!" Maria declares.

"No! N-No way that just happened! Naruto was the legal man! I know he was!" Barney says. "What the hell was that?!

"I think Marshall saw something we didn't, Stinson..." Kenji implies as a replay shows Naruto in his corner and Beowulf had tagged himself in, in which Marshall managed to see while arguing with Hudson. "Talk about being a step ahead."

"How underhanded that bastard, Beowulf, is! This is a prime example why Kurt doesn't want him as king!" Barney rants. "You all say Kurt is the bad guy when the real one is Beowulf himself! Hypocrites! Hypocrites, I tell you! Damn it, Marshall!"

In the ring, Beowulf stands with a fist raised and favoring his leg while Naruto helps him out and also raises a fist in victory, Marshall declaring them and Ichigo and Spin the winners. All the while, Jason had disappeared into the crowd with the Hardcore Championship as he looks to take his anger out on something, Kurt is seething on the outside as Hattori aids him, and Sasuke...apparently is nowhere to be seen.

"I believe it is time to bring this show to a close, my friends. Everyone, thank you for watching this third edition of Friday Night Ignition and we hope to see you next week when on that even, the Battle Royale begins!" Kenji says. "I'm Kenji Matsuo."

"'That Guy' Zack Carver," Zack says.

"'The Legen—wait for it—dary Commentator' Barney Stinson," Barney says.

"And Markiplier saying farewell for the night. We will see YOU in the next episode...BUH-BYE!" Markiplier waves, concluding the outros.

Ignition ends with all four men standing the ring together in victory as the screen fades out in black...

FRICKING FINALLY! DX For nearly seven weeks, this thing has been killing me! ToT But I don't care; I finally got it done! XD I won't lie, but I hate how I wrote the main event...it feels sloppy and inconclusive along with some other matches to me. DX I don't know why. Maybe you decide? Tell me in the reviews, don't be afraid to be a critic...but don't be a harsh flamer either. ._.

Anyways, I hope you guys like the chapter and really hope you do put in a review. They really help me out with my future chapters. They make me a happy, happy, happy A1. :3

Until then, my awesome friends...LATER! :D
