ACW Saturday Night RAMPAGE: July 20th, Week 3 (Recap Edition)

TV-14

("Cross The Line" by AD/AM starts off as RAMPAGE punches in onscreen before spinning to show Zeke Cage posing Miz-style at the turnbuckles with a cocky grin; Ichigo Kurosaki poses at the stage himself, holding rock horn hands as fireworks go off behind him.)

It is my destiny, it is a truth I see

(The Second City Saints get into their signature pose at the corners in their entrance; Trish Warrington attacks Rei Miyamoto with her Beauty and the Knee; Alex Loredo strikes Jason Krueger with an Extreme Twist.)

In this world I find

(Vergil stares throughout the crowd in the ring, then shows him nailing the Force Edge to a Dante; Hart of Hyuga execute a Diving Headbutt / Shooting Star Leg Drop combo to Eliza Hart.)

A way to cross the line

(The Wolves stand under the rain with Ambrose grinning sadistically while rubbing his hands together, Rollins' arms splayed, Reigns flexing his muscles with a beast-like roar, and Smith smirking with his Television Championship raised, then they are seeing attacking Naruto with Devour of the Wolves.)

Everybody's doing what everybody's doing

(Yugi Mutou gives a shout to the camera as he's being rained on; Dax Din hits the End of Days to Sasuke; Joey Wheeler nails the In Your Face! to Seto Kaiba; RC Bane plants a Gutwrench Powerbomb to Marcus King.)

Everybody's doing the same thing

(Ed debuts in his new gimmick with a growl prepares and executes his finisher, From the Belly of Hades, to a local jobber while Eddy grins evilly from outside the ring; Jason Krueger is shown bellowing under the rain as an echoing growl is heard.)

I'll be doing what I'll be doing

(Sakura Haruno pounds her fist down on the floor, cracking it completely and looks at the camera with a grin; Hernan Ortiz hops off with a high Shooting Star Press, sounds of a jet flying through is heard; Godzilla himself appears and growls at the camera, breathing out a blue fiery breath under the rain.)

I'll be doing my thing

(Dante throws a fist at the camera as fire explodes from behind during his entrance; The Gods of Darkness drive Kohta Hirano through the flaming table; Mason Stone strikes a ladder into Sasuke's abdomen before landing a Frog Splash.)

The world spins round, to the right they say

(The Blake Bros. 2.0 hit the Neckbreaka' to Daniel Kent; Nathan Drake leaps over the top rope at Kurt Hudson and Ash Ketchum; Duke Devlin dives high for the Five-Star Frog Splash.)

I'll be spinning the other way

(Zeke Cage is pointing at the camera with a cocky smirk and then shows him planting Kenshin Himura with the Cage-Breaking Finale; Takashi Komuro and Kohta Hirano plants Ryo Bakura through the table via Drop Dead!.)

Doing what I can, doing what I know

(iGeneration stand in the ring together with Carly arrogantly smirking, Sam scowling, and Freddy raising their arms as the iCarly gals perform the iDestruction to Lady; Isaac Clarke beats his chest at the second turnbuckle.)

The world's my stage and I'm the show!

(The Symbiotes appear on their entrance and demolish Yugi Mutou with the Venomous Carnage, alternating clips through the drums with them in their pose while their tongues are sticking out; Atem is the last seen with eyes shut and suddenly snaps them open and the Eye of Anubis appears, closing with the logo of RAMPAGE punches in with impact.)


"Cross the Line" by AD/AM plays as the camera moves to a room with multiple TVs in the background (think RAW Pre-show) and Ned Bigby and Logan Reese step in to the area.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the recap edition of Saturday Night RAMPAGE! I'm Ned Bigby," Ned introduces himself.

"And you all know me as 'Gorgeous' Logan Reese," Logan grins. "Well, Bigby, it looks like we're stuck doing another frigging recap...joy."

"Now, I understand you're upset, Reese, but there's no need for that. Our author is already dealing with life as of lately due to issues with college, trying to find a job and the fact he doesn't have internet at home, which has actually been going on since the beginning of his summer semester in June, so it makes it difficult for him to try and update this story. How else are we going to move forward to Rebellion quickly?" Ned queries.

"Time skip? Seriously, can't we take a page from Chaos's playbook and just skip all the way to the Imperial Rumble pay-per-view?"

"That would require a long recap, Reese...and I don't think our author wants to go through that," Ned says. "He's got so much planned for ACW, he doesn't want to let them go to utter waste."

"Lazy ass..." Logan mutters. "Can we just get this over with?"

"If it'll shut you up, yes," Ned answer, earning a glare from Logan. "This third episode of RAMPAGE took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma and the event broadcasted from the Bank of Oklahoma Center—or BOK Center for short—with over 15,300 attendance members. Our first match that took place was a championship match between the ACW Television Champion, Luke Smith, and a random challenger."

"The Sly Wolf has held this title for nearly three weeks and this is the first time he's ever defended it. Last time we saw him in the ring was with The Wolves as they beat the ever living hell out of the Undisputed Champion...oh, that was glorious," Logan chuckles. "And we saw his thoughts on the tourney last week and he certainly did not like the fact he had to defend his belt and possibly lose it to some non-deserving titleholder on RAMPAGE or at Rebellion. He calls it Injustice and I agree a lot to his point of view."

"Well, if he doesn't like how things are with this tournament, then what's the point of him having a title in the first place?" Ned bluntly asks. "This does not sound like an ideal champion to me."

"No duh since you prefer a cookie-cutter babyface, Bigby," Logan glares.

"Yeah, you keep thinking that, Reese. Anyway, for the viewers watching this, we are going to show you what went down in this title match. Enjoy," Ned tells.


Before the match...

After making his entrance through the crowd to "Special Op" by Adam Massacre, Luke Smith stands in the ring with his Television Championship draped over his shoulder...and a microphone in his hand. He demanded his music to cut off as he prepares to speak.

"Such Injustice spreading around this damn company now...as if Devlin, Bane, and Parker being in the Battle Royale without having to actually fight in the tourney wasn't bad enough...now we have a YouTuber joining along because of his cry to his pathetic fan base. It is...just absolutely disgusting, the fact that Alvarez is actually letting this happen!" Luke states. "I will not stand to let this go...but you know what? That doesn't matter right now...because by the time the Fatal 4-Way Match begins...Justice will begin to serve at Rebellion...and you will see me stand alone as the inaugural International Champion of ACW. I will make sure of that myself. If you don't believe me...watch me as I defend and retain my TV Title with ease."

Smith waited in the ring for a while for his mysterious challenger to appear...and he revealed himself when "Fake It" by Seether played from the stage as "The Uncharted Thief" Nathan Drake walks out to a positive reception from the audience.

ACW Television Championship — "The Sly Wolf" Luke Smith (c) vs. "The Uncharted Thief" Nathan Drake

This would be all Smith so far into the beginning of the match. The Sly Wolf had always been one step ahead of the veteran with countering a Hip Toss into a Judo Toss, nailing a Float-over DDT off the ropes, a Somersault Neckbreaker from the skies, and a Bulldog. Luke trapped Drake in the corner with a series of Forearm Smashes to the skull, then heads to the opposite corner to prepare for an attack. And when he went for a Stinger Splash, Nathan raised his foot up to strike him at the jaw. By then, the Uncharted Thief retaliated with a Swinging Neckbreaker. The tide completely turned for the protagonist of Uncharted as he got one Elbow Drop down to the sternum off the top rope, another moment with him performing the Conqueror (Sliced Bread #2) after countering and twisting around an Inverted Suplex, and after knocking Smith to the outside, he would execute a Suicide Dive on the TV Champion.

For a mere moment, it seemed Drake had the chance to break his losing streak for good as he prepared to prepared for The Adventurer's Welcome (Lifting Falling Inverted DDT), but somehow Luke managed to turn it around by flipping on his feet behind the thief and Chop Blocks his leg—the BAD leg in fact! What's even worse is the leg just cleared for Nate to wrestle. Luke took complete advantage of the leg with a Snap DDT to the limb, a few Leg Drops, using the ropes to damage it further, and even went as far to use the Stretch Muffler, but Nathan would reach the ropes since he was close to them.

Although, Nathan did manage to make a quick comeback and nearly ended the match with El Dorado (LeBell Lock) after pulling the Sly Wolf in, but he rolls forward, uses his quick agility to trap the legs of his opponent in what appears to be an Inverted Figure Four and locks in The Locksmith (Jamie Noble's Trailer Hitch)! The Uncharted Thief had shown strength to stay in the maneuver for a while as he attempted to escape the hold or grab the ropes to no avail as his fans cheer him on to keep fighting. Despite his best efforts, Nathan eventually had to tap out due to the bad leg that has taken so much damage, a bit of déjà vu from his Playground of Blood match.

Post-match...

Even though it was over, Luke did not release the hold for a damn good while until he decided he was through making his former challenger suffer. The Sly Wolf had received his belt back and raised it high for the booing audience to see before leaving. Meanwhile, the Uncharted Thief managed to stand on his good leg and received a well-received applause from the audience that still respect him despite his loss. For a moment, Drake felt real happy that despite his loss, he feels like a winner to his fans...

...but it all came crashing down when Luke nailed him with a Russian Leg Sweep followed by a Forward Russian Leg Sweep, smashing his face on the mat with the Blacksmith! The crowd gave a loud negative reaction to the disrespect by the Television Champion, but he didn't give a damn what they thought as he raises his title up high and states off-mic, "Who says you get to feel like a winner, Drake? I'm still the champion here...not you." By then, "Special Op" played out for the champion as he makes his official departure from the ring, leaving behind an angry crowd and a dejected treasure hunter.


"While I'm visibly disgusted of Luke's total disrespect and adding insult to injury with Drake's loss, he did retain his Television Championship and is eligible enough to join the Fatal 4-Way Match at Rebellion," Ned says.

"Who says you have to respect anyone? When you're a champion, EVERYONE should be respecting them; the champion chooses who he has to respect and Smith isn't going to do that for some treasure hunter who has become completely irrelevant these days," Logan states smugly.

"Why am I not surprised you'd say a sentence like that, Reese?" Ned deadpans. "Nathan may have not won, but he still has a chance to join the Fatal 4-Way himself if he wins the Battle Royale next week on Friday Night Ignition."

"Like he has a chance of winning it. While I bet my money on Hernan getting his ass eliminated first, I'm believing Nathan Drake is gonna be the first one out in just mere seconds," the Zoey 101 character chuckles conceitedly. "Along with that, whether James or Smith win that Fatal 4-Way match, I'll be a happy man to see the right person become the inaugural International Champion."

"And since we're still on that topic, there was an interview that happened with Duke Devlin after the Television Championship Match. He let in a few words of his proclamation of his winnings at the Battle Royale come Ignition IV, but not without a small disturbance in this one. You'll see what I mean," Ned affirms.


Interview Segment — "The Whole Damn Show" Duke Devlin w/"Violet" Clarissa Rivera

"Well, Duke, we've just perceived that Smith retained the Television Championship and Nathan Drake will be joining you and the rest in the Battle Royale next Friday. Do you have any thoughts of what you believe will happen?" Clarissa asks.

"Heh, my pretty lady, Rivera," Duke begins with a grin, making Clarissa blush at the comment, "there probably isn't any need to ask since you're going to watch The Whole Damn Show walk in to that Over-the-top-rope Battle Royale Match and walk out the winner of it. And by the time I make my appearance in the Fatal 4-Way Match, I'm going to make sure neither Dante, Griffin nor especially Smith leave Rebellion the first-ever ACW International Champion. Look at me, I was the first-ever Television Champion on my debut; that was certainly impressive enough for me to be in the Battle Royale automatically. And I know for damn sure I'll be winning this whole tourney easily."

"Lot of words coming from someone who talks a big game..."

Duke's ears perk at that voice as he turns around to see RC Bane walk in with a cold stare and folded arms.

"Not only that, that statement you made there was...pretty damn weak. If you think your little accomplishments are what's going to help you win, you are dead wrong, pretty boy. You can be a big talker all you like, but what matters is you back it up in the ring...can you do that, Devlin? Hm? ...Think you can with that arrogance you spew out of your mouth?" Bane asks.

The Dungeon Dice Master flicks his nose with a thumb as he cracks a sneer, "Nah...I know I can. And while you say it's arrogance, I can admit I am...but there's more likely a mix of confidence dashed in that voice of mine. I'll be sure to do that when I step in the ring with that freak, Bakura. If you don't believe me...just watch me, Bane. Watch me own this match as (thumbs to self à la RVD) the Whole...Damn...Show."

Devlin gives a wink as he walks by The Virus, taking his leave while RC only glares at him off-screen.


"The Whole Damn Show is looking to prove he is the man to win it all by the Battle Royale and Rebellion, but can he back it up in the ring against Bakura in his match? RC Bane thinks not as he sees his confidence as arrogance," Ned states.

"It's arrogance and you know it, Bigby," Logan deadpans.

"Okay, we all know Duke is arrogant at one point; that I'll admit at least."

"Glad to see you're being a smart man. (Ned rolls his eyes) So, moving on, we get into the business of what I like to call our division, the sexiest women's division alive with a few such as the Four Horsewomen, Evil Beauty, Trish Warrington, Alyssa Parker, Ashley Storm and so on," Logan grins.

"Now that you've mentioned Alyssa and Ashley, they were scheduled in an all-female Tag Team Match against Highschool of the Dead's Saeko Busujima and Saya Takagi. This was pretty much due to what has been going on between Rei and Trish since the first episode of RAMPAGE," Ned informs. "As of last night, Miyamoto did manage to get one over her in the Six-Person Tag Team Match at the opening of Ignition. Question was, could her friends do the same in this edition of RAMAPGE? We're about to find out right now."


Females Tag Team Match — Highschool of the Dead (Saeko Busujima and Saya Takagi) vs. "The Billion Dollar Queen" Alyssa Parker and Ashley Storm

The match had Saya and Ashley begin the match since Alyssa "didn't want to get her hands filthy" by making contact with her opponents. Storm had no problem with this since she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. At first, Ashley would only mess with Saya in the first part of the match before slapping her across the face against the corner, grinning arrogantly...and suddenly receives a straight right jab into her face that knocked her down! This certainly pissed off Takagi with the disrespect given to her by her opponent as she mounts Ashley and rains a fury of fists down on her face. By then, Saya took control of the match as she landed a Hip Toss, a rope-aided Gamengiri, and a Float-over amazingly transitioned into a Leveled Intelligence (Full Nelson Facebuster). Takagi gladly tagged in Saeko as the swordswoman measured from the top rope as Saya had Ashley on her shoulders and the two execute a Doomsday Crossbody.

Both high school girls would have the momentum all to themselves until Alyssa decides to wreck it when she pulled down the top rope just as Saeko was about to rebound and falls to the outside. The Billion Dollar Queen now decides she wants a piece on the action as Ashley tags her in and Parker hops off the apron, then would Irish Whip Saeko straight against the ringside, nailing her kidneys against it as she screams in pain! Alyssa and Ashley used this as their advantage with damaging the sides of Saeko and making quick tags.

It seemed like Saeko wouldn't make it through as she was put in a Bow & Arrow submission by Alyssa...but the swordswoman will be damned if she's just going to let her opponents win by making Saeko look like the weak link if she taps out. As soon as she managed to reach for the ropes, Parker roughly brings Busujima to her feet and receives a Throat Thrust that catches her off-guard, then with her back turned on Saeko, she grabs her head from behind and nails the Shattered Mentality (Snap Falling Neckbreaker).

Thanks to this, Saeko had a comeback as she takes it to the Billion Dollar Queen with stiff forearms to the temple, then pulling her to the ropes, and catching her with a Leg-hook Exploder Suplex! Having enough, Alyssa tagged out to Ashley and she hops in to stop the adrenaline, but was taken down with a Running Arched Big Boot followed by a Leaping Leg Drop from Saeko. After Saeko would land her Violet Finale (Diving Somersault Front Dropkick), she makes a tag to Saya and the Takagi Heir steps on her friend's shoulders for extra height as she falls forward and lands a Body Splash on Storm. This would've gotten them the win...if Alyssa hadn't broken up the pinfall at the count of two.

This resulted in a brawl between the swordswoman and the rich woman before Saeko's eyes got scratched out by Alyssa and would receive the Money Maker (Reverse Roundhouse Kick). Then, she rudely throws Saeko out of the ring and flaunts herself to the crowd that boo her with an arrogant smirk before getting a Leveled Intelligence from Takagi! The Genius of H.O.T.D. quickly returned her attention to Ashley as she brings her up for another Leveled Intelligence, but gets flipped over on her backside. When she stood, Ashley kicks her gut and goes for the Storm Blackout (Curb Stomp), her foot smashing down on THE MAT as Takagi dodged her fate! Catching her off-guard, Saya counters the Clothesline from Storm and drives her down with the Stupidity Denied (Crucifix Driver), which gives the HotD girls the 1-2-3!

Post-match...

"Welcome to the Family" by Avenged Sevenfold plays out for the HotD representatives as Saya rolls out of the ring and celebrates her winnings with Saeko, who wraps an arm around her shoulder with a fist held high in victory. Meanwhile in the ring, all Ashley can do was hold her head while seething at her loss as Alyssa was scowling heavily and said to herself, "I need a better partner next time..."


"With that win for Saeko and Saya, they managed to answer that question and from the looks of it, Ashley and Alyssa don't look too happy about it," Ned implies. "I think I heard Alyssa wanting a new partner next time."

"Okay, so they had a little disagreement afterwards from their loss, but I'm sure they'll work things out," Logan says.

"Yeah, we'll see. So, with that out of the way, we did mention Duke Devlin had an interview earlier and has told RC Bane to watch him prove he'll own the match as the Whole Damn Show," Ned states.

"Yet, he has to go through one of the most menacing characters within our roster and that's Ryo Bakura aka Yami Bakura, the same sick f*ck that haunts your dreams worse than Freddy Krueger himself," Logan muses. "Also the same guy to face Komuro in a Monster's Ball Match at Rebellion. Both these Bakura and Devlin were part of ACW since the beginning and it looks like we get to see them square off in the ring for the first time."

"People wondered if Duke would even survive someone like Yami Bakura. From the result of it, most say he didn't have a chance considering how dangerous we saw Bakura was at Reign in Blood. In this match, both men gave their all to prove themselves and Bakura got a little surprise during the contest. What would that be? We're going to show you right now," Ned says.


Singles Match — "The Whole Damn Show" Duke Devlin vs. "The Spirit of Darkness" Ryo Bakura

By the start of the match, Bakura has tried to intimidate Devlin with his nature of horror, but the Whole Damn Show wasn't going let that get to him so easily. Both were evenly matched as Duke landed a Slingshot Plancha after Monkey Flipping Bakura to the outside, the Spirit of Darkness nailing a vicious Swift Spirits to a cornered Devlin, the Whole Damn Show thinking quickly on his feet as his foot was caught and faking an Enzuigiri, then spun into a Rolling Mule Kick, and then one-half of The Gods of Darkness catching Devlin in midair and planting a Michinoku Driver II.

At one point, the tide completely changed to Bakura's favor as he counteracted a running Duke with a Drop Toe Hold, hitting Duke face-first into the turnbuckle pads. By then, Bakura dominated the match thus far from there; he would drill Duke's head with a Brainbuster, nail an elevated variation of the Rapture, and bring Duke outside the ring as he Hammer Throws him crashing against and over the steel steps. It was as if Duke was in an utter car wreck.

Soon, after conveying Duke back in the ring, Ryo was now just toying with his opponent as he nudged his foot against his head and hits a vicious kick to the ribs, making Devlin scream in pain. He drapes the Dudgeon Dice Master over the middle rope and pulls back on the top rope as he presses his feet against his back, trying to put pressure on his ribs. And if that wasn't bad enough, he hops off and drags Duke to a corner, having him placed under the bottom turnbuckle and near the steel post, then pulls back on his arm and leg as the steel post is pressing against Duke's ribs. As The Whole Damn Show was screaming in pain, Bakura cackles at the top of his longs and grins manically to the camera, "You see this, Komuro?! What I'm doing to young Devlin tonight will be TAME to what I will do to you at Rebellion, you fool!" Eventually, Bakura "got bored" of torturing the poor soul and grabs Duke for the Death Penalty (Swinging Reverse STO)...

...but as a last minute of despair, Duke slipped away from the maneuver and shoves Bakura away from him and accidentally knocks referee Daniel Parker down! Seething, Ryo charged after Duke, who nailed him down on the mat with a Dice Shot (Van Daminator) to the face! Devlin made sure to keep Bakura down with Snake Eyes (Sitout Gordbuster) and ascends the top turnbuckle for his Five Star Frog Splash...only to have miss it at the last second and his whole body lands on the mat, the windpipe blowing out of him from the impact. Yami took perfect advantage of that with the Death Penalty, planting his face on the canvas and goes for the pin, but sees Daniel was still out.

Irritated, Ryo roughly nudges the official to awake him...then the crowd suddenly explodes in cheers...as Takashi Komuro slides in the ring and grabs his opponent for Rebellion by the waistline with a vast German Suplex...then hits a second one...followed by a third that lands him right on the back of his head, completing the Infecta Trifecta (Triple Rolling German Suplex combination)! The Tokonosu City survivor rolls out of the ring to bring out a steel chair and plants it on the mat; once then, he brings Bakura on his feet and drives his face down on the chair with the Deadswitch!

The leader of HotD takes his departure with the chair as Duke slowly wakes up and sees his opponent down on the mat. He was dazed as he had no idea what happened, but he didn't care as he flips Bakura on his back and climbs up the top rope once again. Duke would dive with the Five Star Frog Splash, complete it as his body crashes onto Bakura's and feels excruciating pain. Despite so, he hooks the leg just as Parker sees the pinfall and makes the count, giving Duke the win.

Post-match...

"One of a Kind" by Breaking Point sounds off as Duke stands on both feet with one hand favoring his ribs and the other raised up by the referee to declare him as the winner. Devlin takes his leave in victory while Komuro was in the crowd and grinned at Bakura's loss. Along with that...well, the only reaction we see from the Spirit of Darkness was seething. This...spelled nothing but strife for Komuro. Backstage, RC Bane has seen the match himself...but it's obvious he isn't impressed as he scoffed and walked away.


"And so, the Whole Damn Show walks off with a victory in his track record after defeating Bakura, but not without the help of Takashi. It isn't surprising Bane felt no impression from this," Ned says.

"Duke got this ass handed to him by Bakura throughout the match and he only won because of Komuro interfering. Of course Bane isn't impressed by this; he saw Duke earning this win through a fricking shortcut," Reese states. "I don't see Devlin winning this Battle Royale."

"Everyone's got their own opinion on who may win this Battle Royale, Reese, especially the fans. Speaking of the fans, as of recent news, thanks to the huge support by Felix's fan Bro Army along with his allies in the FWM, Jesse Alvarez has finally decided to allow PewDiePie in the tourney for one more match that may allow him to enter the Battle Royale should he win."

"There are some stipulations to his wins and losses, however. If he loses his Battle Royale qualification match or gets eliminated from the Battle Royale should he win the qualification match, he will immediately return to his job as a backstage interviewer; but, if he wins through all that and the Fatal 4-Way...he will be an official member of our main roster," Logan informs...before shuddering. "...God forbid that happening—we already got Smosh here; don't need another irrelevant YouTuber hanging around the wrestling ring..."

"Even if he doesn't win the Fatal 4-Way Match, he still has a chance to compete in the ring as part of AIW. So it's best you deal with it, Reese," Ned says. "Now that PewDiePie is in the tourney, he's got one match that will happen at the opening of Ignition in order to enter the Battle Royale. Since receiving this news, he has been exhilarated since. In case you don't believe me, take a look at what he said."


Promo Segment — PewDiePie Thanks His Bro Army

Felix Kjellberg aka PewDiePie stands alone with a backdrop lit up in blue with a huge an elated smile on his face.

"Heh-heh—how's it going, Bros? My name is PEWDIEPIE! You see this smile on my face? It's like this because of you guys—thanks to you Bros, I'm now a part of the tourney and finally have a chance to wrestle once again! You got no idea how happy I am about this...because to be honest here, Bros, if I were to lose this tourney whether in my qualification match or the Battle Royale and go back as an interviewer...I don't know what I would do... I guess would die a little inside... Okay, no lie, it was fun while it lasted as an interviewer...but seeing all those wrestlers go at it in the ring, especially my fellow YouTube Bros, Smosh...it kinda broke my heart that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing like I did back in FWE...wrestle. I realized that...this interviewing sh*t just isn't me at all, Bros. It never was! So I took the chance to make my boss enter me in the tourney...and thanks to you, Bros, I get to do so again as I have—not one...but two—I have two wrestling matches opening and ending Ignition IV respectively. So you Bros can bet your sweet asses that I will open and end Friday Night Ignition (forms a fist) with a Bro Fist. Don't matter who mah opponent is 'cause I'm-a Bro Fist his face in along with everybody else in that Battle Royale! I leave you all with my famous words of inspiration...'Don't be a salad...be the best Goddamn broccoli you can ever be'," PewDiePie quotes before giving a thumbs up with a large smile. "Hah...I'll see ya next time, Bros. Watch me win it all by next weekend…here comes the Bro Fist. MMM-BYEEEEEEEEEEEEE..."

PewDiePie extends his fist out to the camera, blacking it out completely as he concludes his promo.


"Felix is determined to make sure he is a champion by the end of it all. You can feel the emotion from him when he mentioned he was heartbroken about seeing others wrestle while he stands in the back with a microphone in hand," Ned states. "He wants that experience once again."

"Oh, wah-wah! PewDiePie is already the #1 most subscribed YouTuber—SOMEHOW. He's just being a spoiled brat that wants attention; you know that, Bigby," Logan sneers. "He's just playing the bull crap 'ultimate underdog' card when it's completely irrelevant. Think of this, Ned: Felix is as overrated as JOHN CENA and ROMAN F*CKING REIGNS."

"Think that however you like, but you can't deny the respect and the support he has from his fan-base that helped him enter the tournament," Ned replies.

"His fan base consists of snotty, foul-mouthed and stupid little kids with irresponsible parents!" Logan retorts. "This support is as rigged as his number of subscribers."

Ned rolls his eyes and turns to the camera, moving on from the subject, "Anyway, since we're done talking about the tourney for now, we move on to another piece of tag team action with the male division, featuring The Symbiotes and Alpha & Omega."

"Oh, man, I did not envy A&O in this matchup at all. We've witnessed what is unthinkable with these guys—last night on Ignition 3, they showed up to interfere the match between Atem and Venom and made their full-on assault on The Symbiotes. And dude...they succeeded," Logan summarizes.

"Probably a shocker of the night for those fans who actually LOVE Venom and Carnage. Seeing that got them livid...but The Symbiotes were BEYOND livid...I don't think I can come up with a word to describe that," Ned says. "Since their succession, Carter Young and Stan Terra stated they were here first long before Venom and Carnage and they want them to get in the back of the line for the tag titles."

"While I can support them on that fact, this is VENOM AND CARNAGE we're talking, man. You saw them DESTROY Altered Egos in ONE MATCH on their fricking DEBUT. You have any idea how bad a PISSED OFF Venom and Carnage would be?" Logan questions.

"No...err, at least I hope I didn't...but thanks to what happened last night, we've witnessed it front row and...well, action speaks louder than words, so...here's what happened in this tag match," Ned says.


Tag Team Match — Alpha & Omega (Carter Young and Stan Terra) vs. The Symbiotes (Venom and Carnage)

Right out of the gate, Venom brutality smashed Carter with a Corner Clothesline and knocked Stan off the apron during so. From there and throughout this bout...The Symbiotes DOMINATED. Reason for that is obvious: Alpha & Omega pissed them off with their interference and making them look weak on Ignition III. No matter how many times Carter or Stan had tried to counter them and steal the momentum back, Venom and Carnage are always a step ahead.

Venom and Carnage decided to end this massacre early with a Venomous Carnage to Terra as he stands up on his feet, albeit wobbly, and The Symbiotes charged from both sides...and The Omega grins suddenly when he sidesteps and pushes Kasady into nailing a Gore into his "father"! A&O had played POSSUM with their opponents as Carnage barks maliciously, "YOU MOTHER—" and Carter strikes the red Symbiote down with a Big Boot! "We aren't going to be your feed for your egos, you old bastards! Not this time!" Young shouts.

The momentum was now on Alpha & Omega's side as Carter was roughly raking his foot across Carnage's face while the Symbiote was being hung upside-down in a Tree-of-Woe before heading to the opposite corner and coming right back with a Running Low-angle Dropkick to the skull. And if that wasn't bad enough, after tagging out to Stan, The Omega ascends to the top and hops off to nail a Diving Double Foot Stomp to the hanging Cletus Kasady! After getting Carnage sitting down on the mat, Stan lands Shoot Kicks to the chest and back respectively before he ran to the ropes and nail a Dropkick right in his face. Later, after tagging in Carter, he climbs up on the top turnbuckle as The Alpha catches Kasady with a Pendulum Backbreaker and stands up for The Omega to land a Diving Leg Drop on Carnage's head...

...but Stan stops and shouts for Carter to watch out...when Venom stormed in on Young with a vicious Running Lariat, turning him inside out! Stan thinks quickly to stop their momentum with a Diving Clothesline, but gets caught in Venom's arms and tosses him over with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Gaining his energy back, Carnage rushes right at a cornered Terra and hits a mean Shoulder Thrust into the turnbuckles followed by a Corner Clothesline from Venom. Simultaneously, Venom and Carnage raised Carter and Stan respectively into a Venomous Termination and a Gutwrench Falling Powerbomb. In the end, The Symbiotes went ahead for the Venomous Carnage on a stumbling Carter, both hosts for the aliens sprinting at him from both flanks...and successfully execute it with BRUTAL authority! Venom stomps his foot on Carter's chest as Carnage laughs manically in his face and they get the pinfall for this match.

Post-match...

"Rebellion" by CFO$ sounds off for The Symbiotes' win as they give out a loud screeching roar in victory. Venom grows a shit-eating grin as he grinds his foot in the face of Carter and Carnage rolls out of the ring to grab two microphones from the ring crew after scaring them away. Kasady enters back inside and tosses a mic to Venom, who still presses his foot down in Young's face, and then Carnage pulls off the RR armband from his arm and just stares at it.

"RR...Rookie Revolution... Rookie Revolution this...Rookie Revolution that... Oh, am I sick of them spreading their disease around the FWM...! You boys...Alpha & Omega...Carter Young and Stan Terra...just prime examples of WHINY LITTLE BITCHES the Revolution actually represent, HAHAHAAHAHA!" Carnage cackles insanely as he bites off a piece of the armband. "When you attacked me and dear old 'dad', ooh, that really PISSED us off... And when you explained your reason for attacking us...I felt nothing but PITY for you."

"You two and the rest of the Revolution are just nothing but whiny and spoiled f*cking brats that want attention and you two made perfect examples of that last night on Ignition. You can go ahead and bitch and moan about us 'stealing' your spot all you want...but you're not going to get it back," Venom snarls. "You've had your chance to take the titles from those scrawny little sh*ts known as Altered Egos at Reign in Blood and it's OUR turn to do what you failed to do, boys. We've made our impact a week ago...and at Rebellion, we're going to do it again by winning the ACW World Tag Team Championships while you two can whine in the BACK of the line..." Then, Carnage would question if A&O were to interfere their match like before...and that got Venom thinking before grinning. "You're right, 'son'... On second thought, boys...you may join us and Altered Egos...in a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH for those belts... You want another chance? This is it right here...take it or leave it...after we give a second dose of Venomous Carnage."

The Symbiotes drop their mics and wait for Carter to stand up once again with sadistic grins on their faces. The second Carter rises to his feet in a groggy stance...they went for the Northern Lariat / Gore combination...AND STAN TERRA SAVES HIS FRIEND WITH A FLYING STEEL CHAIR SHOT TO THE SKULL OF VENOM, SHANE MCMAHON STYLE! Carnage quickly rolls out of the ring as Venom joins and Stan threatens them to come into the ring, smashing the chair around on the mat in anger.

Soon, Carter receives his consciousness and grabs a microphone they dropped before. He stands by his tag partner and speaks, "Venom...Carnage...we accept your invitation, assholes... Rebellion is just another word for Revolution—that place is destined the RR members like us, Kendra, and Jason to WIN! And by the end of our Triple Threat...The Symbiotes and Altered Egos...will feel the Beginning of the End as Stan and I will stand...as the NEW World Tag Team Champions!" Stratovarius' "Alpha & Omega" plays from the loudspeakers as A&O and the grinning Symbiotes glare at each other from the ring and the ramps...and Yugi Mutou and Atem were seen in their locker room with their tag team belts draped over their shoulders as they just saw the events between both title contenders.


"Things are only going to get personal from there, Logan. And since the board is with this idea, Alvarez has officially declared a Triple Threat Match to happen between Altered Egos, The Symbiotes and Alpha & Omega for the ACW World Tag Team Championships at ACW Rebellion!" Ned announces. "Plus, this is the first time that these tag belts will on the line in a Triple Threat Match!"

"Ooh, this is going to be REAL interesting here in this match, Bigby. I can just tell already," Logan grins, rubbing his hands together.

"Yugi and Atem, Venom and Carnage, Carter and Stan all in the ring at the same time for those titles; yeah, you tell me it won't be interesting," Ned chuckles. "Since this is big for the tag division, the International Championship Tourney is still big for us right now...and we managed to get an interview with a Battle Royale member. Who other than the first man to enter the Battle Royale such as Hernan Ortiz?"

"And after that, there's a clip that shows Saul Linklater cutting a promo for his proclamations to win the Battle Royale. Take a look," Logan says.


Interview Segment — Hernan Ortiz w/Jeff Dunham & José Jalapeño...on a Stick

Jeff Dunham stands in the interview zone with José Jalapeño...on a Stick and a microphone in his hand.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jeff Dunham and I happen be your final interviewer of the night," Jeff introduces before turning to José. "Would you like to introduce yourself?"

"Si," José answers. "My name is José..."

"José what?"

"José Jalapeño."

"Ah, okay..."

"…on a Stick!" José finishes as a few crowd members were heard chuckling in the background.

"Heh... Anyways, my guest at this time is known to be a former UWE Omega Champion and a member of the Battle Royale this Friday on Ignition IV...'The New Enigma' Hernan Ortiz!" Jeff introduces as Hernan walks onscreen with a small smirk on his face. "Hernan, in just under a week, in six days, you will be in the Battle Royale with thirteen other men for a chance to enter the Fatal 4-Way Match for the vacant ACW International Championship at Rebellion. Do you have any thoughts going into the Battle Royale on Ignition IV? Perhaps what you will do if you'll be eliminated from the Battle Royale?"

"Jeff, you can say this is a disadvantage for me since there's thirteen competitors in the ring and they all have the same goal like I do: winning the Battle Royale, go into the Fatal 4-Way Match and become the first-ever International Champion. There's even a tag team in the tourney and they have a better advantage on all of us before they try to eliminate each other. A former Omega Champion like me in this Battle Royale...then winning it to enter the Fatal 4-Way Match...and winning the International Championship will make me feel like I'm on top of the world once again, even if it's a midcard title. I was certainly arrogant since my Omega Title win...and I became irrelevant since...but I am changing all of that by the time I enter this Battle Royale. I will do whatever it takes to get into that International Title Match and make sure my goal is complete," Hernan says with determination. "And when I get into that Fatal 4-Way, you can expect me to kick a lot of ass; you can expect me to kick Smith's ass, you can expect me to kick Dante's ass—no offense, Dante, if you're watching this—and you can especially expect me to kick Griffin's FAT ASS! (crowd cheers) Once all that is done...you'll be looking at the first-ever ACW International Champion of the World...and a brand new Hernan Ortiz."

The New Enigma grins widely...then quickly turned into a heavy scowl as James Griffin walks in with a smug expression on his face, having the ACW Intercontinental Championship draped over his shoulder.

"'Brand new', eh, Ortiz? Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. Oh, wait...we won't since I can easily see you getting your ass eliminated first. After all, you're the first guy to join the Battle Royale...might as well be the first one out, right?" Griffin sneers, Ortiz stepping up to his old rival as they glare at each other...

...

"...I want to go back in the box," José pleads, fearing for what may happen as the audience chuckles at the comedy relief.

Hernan and James turned their attention to the puppet with raised eyebrows for a moment before looking back at each other.

"I'm wasting my time here, anyway... Dante is a friend of yours, right, Ortiz? ...Hope you can bear the sight of me breaking him down before he can even compete at Rebellion," James grins once more before leaving, bumping shoulders with purpose to Hernan, who glares at the Intercontinental Champion.


Promo Segment — Saul Linklater Proclaims his Conquest to Happen at Ignition IV

Somewhere backstage, Saul Linklater stands in front of a backdrop lit up in purple with arms folded and an arrogant grin on his face.

"It's pretty funny that throughout this whole tourney, I appear to be the only AIW wrestler in this Battle Royale. How lucky am I while everyone else down in AIW failed miserably? This is a sign that I am DESTINED to win this Battle Royale, go into the Fatal 4-Way Match, and become the first-ever ACW International Champion. No matter the circumstances or the public opinion...I won my match against the so-called 'Very Best' Ash Ketchum, a FORMER World Champion, a LEGEND around the whole FWM, but people say, 'Oh, only reason you're in the Battle Royale was because of Kaiba!' Yeah, like I give a damn. A win is a WIN; I seized the opportunity when I saw Ketchum was down and took it. I pinned him 1...2...3. So, no matter how much the biased moronic fans can deny it...I am the man who defeated Ash Ketchum on his ACW debut... Count on your fingers on how many people did that. Oh? No one? Yeah, that's what I thought... Let me say this as well...anyone who tweeted #LetPewdsJoinTheInternationalTourney...y'all need one hell of a reality check. No matter how successful he is within YouTube and everything else, I'm pretty sure there's a good reason why he's hired as a backstage interviewer and nothing else. Just pathetic he needed to call out to his 'Bros' to become relevant again by joining this tourney at the last second. Now what to get out...? Ah, yes; since me and my boss's debut, The Praetorians will surely and slowly be securing AIW as a safe haven once we beat the Mighty Morphers within an inch of their lives for the second time at AIW Allegiance to the Ring. Although, if by some miracle, the spandex-wearing ass clowns won, they would probably be one of the greatest tag teams around AIW...if it wasn't for us, The Praetorians, themselves, so you're fricking welcome, DeSantos and Park... I now conclude with this...the second I win this whole damn tournament...I will prove to everyone that The Praetorians are truly a FORCE to be reckon with...with the Enforcer himself, Kaspar Danko, and this handsome 'Ass Kicking and Name Taking' Saul F'n Linklater, baby," Saul concludes with a cocky grin still on his face and adjusting his sunglasses.


"The Battle Royale is getting closer and closer as time flies and these guys are wanting to prove their words into action when Ignition IV arrives. Wonder who else will say their thoughts before the match happens?" Logan asks.

"We may never know until then. Well, guys, we're almost at the end of this recap and we only have one more thing left to show you: the main event, which happens to be a Champion vs. Champion Match between Intercontinental Champion, James Griffin, and United States Champion, Dante," Ned says. "How this match came to be was Griffin stating his match with Mason Stone, former and inaugural Intercontinental Champion, was 'too easy.' Dante, however, didn't think so since he did fight with Stone before and he was a challenge and James knows it."

"Pff, like Stone was a challenge! James had the match with ease and he deserved that win so much after the crap he's gone through," Logan retorts. "Only reason Dante said Stone was a 'challenge' because his age is catching up to him. The old man is no longer in his prime while James is definitely in his."

"Whatever the case anyone else thinks, this main event an interesting contest for the fans and us by the announce table...and took a quick turn of events by the end of it," Ned says. "You'll see what I mean when this clip rolls, so...enjoy."


Champion vs. Champion Match, Main Event — "The Crimson Showstopper" Dante vs. "The Bully" James Griffin

What began as a collar-and-elbow lockup turned into a demonstration for the Fatal 4-Way Match at Rebellion as the two traded fists in the ring. Right into it, James had overpowered and dominated Dante with a few Forearm Clubs to the back, Hammer Throwing him from one corner to another as Dante hits chest-first, dead-lifting Dante off the mat and hits a Gutwrench Suplex, and after being countered from the Back Body Drop with a kick to the chest, catches Dante and slams him with a Spinebuster.

After Clothesline Dante over the top rope, James seemed to be in control of this match, but got too arrogant as he boasts he's the better champ and proclaims he'll be the first-ever International Champion just as Dante flips himself back in the ring, Skinning the Cat! Griffin sees him and his grin goes away as Dante leaned back on the ropes and mockingly waves at his opponent, who charged at the U.S. Champion and gets thrown over the top! But, Dante wasn't through as he grabs the top rope, slingshots himself over and lands on a standing James Griffin with a Plancha!

Dante was now the one with the momentum in this contest as he springboards off the ropes with a Flash of the Blade, hits a Baseball Slide to Griffin outside followed by a Moonsault from the top rope, nails a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors Takedown after many Tilt-a-Whirls to make James dizzy, counters a Pop-up Tyrant Shellshock into a Hurricanrana, and spins out of an Inverted DDT and reverses it into a Swinging Falling Neckbreaker.

Dante went ahead for a version of his own Sweet Chin Music—or as he likes to call it, his Stylin' Chin Music—as he stomps the mat once...twice...thrice...four times...five times...and keeps stomping as a few Oklahoma natives were doing the same, waiting for James to stand up. Soon, the Intercontinental Champion reached his feet and turned around as Dante went for the Superkick...and James ducks his fate! Griffin then kicks him in the gut and executes Dante with the Tyrant Shellshock! He went for the pin as he hooks his leg and referee Marshall Eriksen drops down: 1...2...Dante kicks out at 2.89 and James is in disbelief!

Griffin pins Dante again and he still kicks out before the three-count! He gets into an argument with Marshall to count faster, but the How I Met Your Mother character stood his ground and warns him not to pick a fight with him. The bully simply flipped Marshall off and turned around—STYLIN' CHIN MUSIC TO THE JAW...OF MARSHALL! James somehow evaded the kick again and had Dante knock the referee down by accident! He takes advantage with a kick to the groin and prepares for another Tyrant Shellshock, but despite the pain, Dante fights his way out of it with raining fists to the head. This eventually makes James loses his grip and helps Dante lands back on the mat; he grabs James and Irish Whips him to a corner, only to be reversed and head towards the turnbuckles...then performs a Stylin' Moonsault to his opponent...who evades it and Dante lands on his feet! James knees him and Irish Whips him to the ropes once more, looking for a Pop-up Sitout Powerbomb...but receives a Flying Forearm Smash from Dante, both men now on the canvas...until Dante kips up on his feet, HBK-style!

Into the match...

"Dante on his feet after hitting the Forearm! He's on fire tonight now along with this crowd!" Ned exclaims.

"This is a bad sign for Griffin, man! Bad sign! C'mon, Champ, make a comeback!" Logan pleads.

"Hey, didn't think you'd be cheering for Dante, Reese," Ned comments cheekily.

"Oh, go screw yourself with your damn ego, smartass!" Logan snaps.

Dante gestures for James to stand up with a grin and once he did, he went for a Clothesline and Dante ducked and reversed it into an Inverted Atomic Drop followed by a Scoop Slam! Dante points at the crowd as he grins and winks before climbing to the top rope, looking to make his mark as he scales his opponent from the skies. The Crimson Showstopper then hops off, elbow pointing down...and hits the Devil Trigger to the sternum of James!

"Devil Trigger connects! That Diving Elbow Drop from the Crimson Showstopper makes the mark to the chest of the Intercontinental Champion!" Ned states. "The United States Champion is on the verge of winning this match!"

"What are you doing, Griffin?! You're gonna let this old man beat your ass?!" Logan shouts.

Feeling the adrenaline pumping through his veins, Dante went to his corner and began his stomping session once again as the fans soon join along. After six stomps, James eventually rises up and Dante speeds up his stomps, wanting his opponent to stand on his feet already. At twelve stomps, the Intercontinental Champion finally reaches his feet and turns around for Dante to rush for his Stylin' Chin Music...and his foot GETS CAUGHT by Griffin! The Bully chortles, "You're too damn predictable, old man..." then swivels around to kick him in the gut, put his head in a Standing Scissors, flip him onto his shoulders for a Tyrant Shellshock...

...

...

...

"Ha-ha, Tyrant Shellshock coming through! This is the end for you, Dante!" Logan sneers.

"James outsmarts Dante again and is looking for his Sitout Powerbomb!" Ned states.

...

...

...

...

...and Dante slips off the shoulders, making James turn around—SUPERKICK! STYLIN' CHIN MUSIC FINALLY CONNECTS TO THE RIGHT MAN!

"SUPERKICK! DANTE FINALLY NAILS THE SUPERKICK! HIS STYLIN' CHIN MUSIC KNOCKS GRIFFIN OFF HIS SHOES!" Ned exclaims.

"YOU GOTTA BE FRICKIN' KIDDING ME!" Logan whines, pulling at his hair.

Dante drops on his knees and smirks down at the KO'd Griffin, "Don't seem so predicable now, huh, kid?" as he hooks the leg. During then, Marshal had awaken and sees the pinfall, then crawls over to make the count official.

"This can't end like this!" Logan panics. "Please kick out, James! You're tougher than this; this is just nothing!"

"I think it's a little too late for that, Reese, because James is out of it," Ned says.

1!

2!

MARSHALL GETS PULLED OUT OF THE RING...BY LUKE SMITH!

"What the heck—who pulled the referee out?! ...Wait, that's Luke Smith!" Ned exclaims, observing what's happening. "What's he doing out here?!"

"Oh, YES! Thank you for appearing in time to create JUSTICE here, Luke!" Logan grins, giving the TV Champion a thumbs up.

Dante manages to notice Luke drag Marshall out of the ring and attempts to Baseball Slide him away, but misses him and runs right into a Television Championship belt to the skull! The crowd were booing at the Sly Wolf as he glare down towards Dante with a heavy scowl and forcefully throws him into the ring, then slides inside after him with the U.S. Title in hand. As Dante was using the ropes to help him stand, Luke places the belt down in the middle of the ring and measures his one of his opponents for Rebellion from behind. Then, the United States Champion staggers back, unaware of Luke, who grabs him and hits a Russian Legsweep, Dante's head hitting the belt...then he rolls back on his feet with Dante in tow and drills him face-first into the title with a Forward Russian Legsweep, completing the Blacksmith!

"Not once, but TWICE has Luke hit Dante with a title! First his TV Championship and now nailing Dante's head with his own United States Championship!" Ned shouts. "What point is he supposed to make here?!"

"It's called making a statement, Bigby, and those three words have been around since the beginning of time!" Logan retorts. "Luke is stating to Dante that he won't be walking out of Rebellion with the title around his waist because it will be Luke Smith HIMSELF!"

"...Funny you say that because he's giving a look to Griffin," Ned comments, noticing Smith glaring at a groggy James, who is slowly and attempting to stand.

"Uh...Luke...please don't be doing what I think you're going to do..." Logan gulps.

As Griffin reached a knee, Luke quickly rolled out of the ring and snatched the ACW Intercontinental Championship from the ring crew. He enters back inside, kicks away the U.S. Title and places the IC belt on the mat, now waiting for Griffin to stand. Eventually, James does stand up with a headache after the Superkick and turns around to get a straight-up kick to the groin from Luke; then, he sets him up with a Vertical Suplex stance...turned into a Spike Brainbuster, drilling his head with the Silversmith on the Intercontinental Championship!

"And now GRIFFIN gets the same receiving end as Dante did, but with his own Intercontinental Championship!" Ned states. "The irony of both men's heads hitting their own titles!"

"Aw, come on, Luke! The hell?!" Logan complains.

The BOK attendance members then rain down a booing reaction to the current ACW Television Champion as Luke grabs his title and wraps it around his waist...then grabs the United States and Intercontinental Titles and raises them up high, proclaiming himself as the winner of the Fatal 4-Way Match come Rebellion. The last thing the crowd and the color commentators see is Luke Smith standing tall with the belts as James and Dante were out of it with blood running down from their foreheads.


"Way to make a statement for the Television Champion; while I'm upset he attacked Griffin to do that, I'll just be happy whether he or James win the Fatal 4-Way," Logan says.

"Not at all surprised by that kind of support, Reese. Anyway, this recap has now come to a close and we'll be gone for now, but you guys will surely see us again around AIW when we broadcast our first AIW special, Allegiance to the Ring!" Ned announces. "It'll be a hell of a night with all those matches coming by!"

"And once that is through, we got Ignition IV right around the corner with some awesome matches to look forward to," Logan grins as "Ignition" by TobyMac plays in the background. "In our go-home show before Rebellion, we'll begin the match with PewDiePie getting his opportunity to be in the Battle Royale against an unknown opponent. If he loses that or if he wins and makes it into the Battle Royale, but loses, he will return to his job as a mere interviewer...which I hope happens 'cause that'll be the only thing he's good at in this company."

"Speak like that more often and he'll defy the odds," Ned quips. "Then, we got another match heading our way as Spin the Hedgehog and Hattori Hanzo will square off in the ring with their respective allies at ringside! But, this one is different; see, what we received from ACW is Beowulf versus Kurt Hudson has been official, but both Spin and Hattori are going to decide the stipulation of their match should one of them win. If Spin wins, the match stays normal; if Hanzo wins...well, I have a feeling what Kurt will put up."

"And it'll be a good one to see Hudson's mercenary win on Ignition IV and himself at Rebellion," Logan smirks. "Next, we have Seto Kaiba facing off with the returning loser, Alex Loredo—a guy who was only relevant as f*ck when he fought Jason Krueger for the ACW Hardcore Championship. It's obvious who'll be winning this one."

"Another we got is some female action from the Women's Division as Mai Valentine and Sakura Haruno collide once again, but with Aelita Schaeffer by her fellow Horsewoman's side. Considering Sakura and Aelita were former tag partners before the latter's betrayal, it's obvious the pink-haired tsunadre is upset with her actions," Ned states.

"Ugh, we got it already! Just move on, you depressing bitch!" Logan groans as he rolls his eyes. "Anyway...since we've seen The Symbiotes and Alpha & Omega fight earlier tonight in the recap, we'll be seeing them once again, but with the returning Yugi Mutou included in a Triple Threat Match featuring Yugi, Stan Terra and Cletus Kasady aka Carnage—pretty much a quick preview of what's to happen come Rebellion for the ACW World Tag Team Championship."

"With The Symbiotes involved, no one is definitely safe. Next, we have another Champion vs. Champion Match, which features the ACW Undisputed Champion, Naruto Uzumaki, and the ACW Hardcore Champion, Jason Krueger! We've known that these two fought before in UCA, but this will be the first time they've meet each other again, but in the ACW ring. Gotta wonder how that'll go," Ned says.

"Oh, I don't think we need to for our sake. I'm just glad we're not there on Ignition... And finally, our MAIN EVENT, everybody! The Battle Royale, the final round of the ACW International Championship Tourney, will be decided with fourteen men in this match!"

"Indeed, Reese, because whoever wins this match will go on to fill the spot as the fourth member for the Fatal 4-Way Match against Dante, James Griffin, and Luke Smith at Rebellion. Not only that, the winner of that Fatal 4-Way will have the belts unified into one as the brand new ACW International Championship of the World and become said titleholder of that belt!" Ned concludes. "And it looks like that'll be all for this recap. We'll see you guys next time at AIW Allegiance to the Ring this Thursday and next week's go-home show of RAMPAGE IV. I'm the 'Creator of the Guide' Ned Bigby."

"And I'm 'The Gorgeous' Logan Reese. See ya next time, ladies," Logan winks to the camera.

The recap concludes with Ned and Logan taking their separate ways as "Cross the Line" by AD/AM plays in the background, the screen fading out to black...

YEEEE-HAAA! XO RAMPAGE III is finished, baby! :D This did took two and a half weeks to finish; I blame my inspiration for not being there some of the time. ._. Regardless, I finished this chapter in time. XP Man, I'm getting real close to ACW Rebellion! And I want to get closer by making this choice...*takes a DEEP breath*...I may put Ignition IV in a showcap. ._. Don't panic! While it'll be capped, I'll make sure you'll get the entertainment you crave from Awesome Championship Wrestling in full once I get through Ignition and RAMPAGE and head into Rebellion! :D

Ignition IV is around the corner and PewDiePie has one chance to get himself back on his wrestling boots once again, but in ACW. Can he do that or will he be stuck as a backstage interviewer forever? What stipulation does Kurt have in mind? Who will win the Battle Royale? Why am I asking stupid questions? ._. I don't know and I don't really give a sh*t, sucka! :O Anyways, I wanna thank fellow author, Dusty Ol' Gear, for helping me approve the promo segment with Saul Linklater for...uh...I forgot. ._. But yeah, thanks for helping, Gear. :P

While I am doing these recaps to get to Rebellion faster, life is another reason why I can't get around with ACW sometimes; despite that, however, I'll do what I can to keep this story going. :P Be sure to leave a review once you're through reading, please. They make me a happy, happy A1. :3

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