Yesterday, 1/28/2029, 11:37 PM.
The cameras are flashing in the moonlight night. A crowd of people stands outside a hotel room in Uniondale, NY. Security is all over the place. Some fans are around, waiting for autographs. It is late, yet all these people are out, waiting for someone. An all-black Mercedes-Benz SUV pulls up to the crowd as security immediately begin to push people back. The backseat door opens as the people erupt into a frenzy at the sight of the ACW World Heavyweight Champion, Jason Sabre. Jason looked off. Faking a smile as he tried to just walk to the hotel door and avoid contact with the large crowd. As he walked on the clear path to the door he could hear it.
"Was Giselle there?"
"I saw Giselle!"
"Jason, I love you and Giselle!"
Jason tried his best to not be phased in front of the public eye as he walked past everyone. Offering waves to the many people who showed up this late to see him, but he was bothered.
Jason finally reaches the door of the hotel.
Minutes later….
Jason opens the door to his hotel room. The lights are on. Jason walks deeper into the room, setting down his ACW World Heavyweight Championship on a seat. Jason glances at the mirror, noticing the reflection of his girlfriend, Natalia Rodriguez sitting up in the bed behind him, watching the stressed Ace.
"Is it true?" The multi-time women's World Champion asks Jason.
"I saw her." Jason Sabre doesn't turn around to face his significant other. "All three of us saw her. I don't know why…I don't even know how…"
"Jason, relax. Take a deep breath." Natalia advises upon hearing Jason's panicked tone.
"How the hell am I supposed to relax after tonight?" Jason finally turns around, to approach her. "I have to fight Freddy tomorrow night for the World Championship and all of a sudden, Giselle is back. No explanation. No words from her. Just her showing up in the crowd."
Natalia gets up from the bed, reaching up to put both of her hands on Jason's shoulders. She has a soft expression on her face causing Jason to lower his guard and tone.
"Sorry…" Jason takes a breath. "It's just… this doesn't make sense. Why now? Why does she show up when I finally reach the top of the mountain? Why does she show up when it seems like everything is finally working out for me?"
"I don't know, Ace." Natalia admits rubbing his shoulders. "Only she would know."
Her hands make their way from Jason's shoulders, down his arms until reaching his hands, holding them.
"I wish that things would be easy all the time for you and me. I wish that it just be us. No drama. No fear of our past haunting us. Just two people who can live a normal life. But here's the thing. That wouldn't be us. Because that's not you."
She continues as Jason listens intently.
"The guy I have been dating has faced danger after danger and still come out on top. No matter how much of a beating he takes. No matter how much of a burden he has to carry on his shoulders. No matter how much he questions himself about having to play 'hero' for everyone in the outside world who idolizes him. He still preserves with the pressure of the world on his shoulders because that's who he is. Giselle is up to something. But it's nothing that you can't overcome."
Jason nods his head.
"You're right," Jason said. "I should just focus on tomorrow's match. Whatever Giselle has planned- I can take."
"Are you just putting on a brave face or do you believe that?" Natalia asked.
"I think you know the answer to that," Jason replies, giving a small smile, whatever that is supposed to mean is left unanswered as we cut away to the intro.
(This is War by 30 Seconds to Mars begins 35 seconds in with a wide shot of a certain Ace of Pro Wrestling standing on a hill under a tree. His body is submerged by the shade of the tree. Then, it flashes to Jason Sabre looking out of the window of an airplane in the sky. Then Erin Frost looks upwards as a light shines over her. Ash Russo with his head down as he walks through the streets with people raising their fists behind him. Then Alexis Espinoza looks over at Sofia Reynoso from a balcony of what looks to be a mansion. Then a shot of Natalia Rodriguez closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. Followed by Freddy Escobar raising a beer bottle towards the camera while sitting at a bar. Followed by a jealous Detrick Cyrus walking in the subway, ripping a poster of Jason Sabre. Finally, the intro ends with Casper Russo sitting in a gothic throne style chair)
A warning to the people
(Azriel raises both his arms up slowly as a red light appears underneath him, forming his demonic logo beneath his feet)
The good and the evil
(Ash Russo walks with his head down through the street before Casper fades onto the screen for the second half on the screen smiling, back to back with the walking Ash)
This is war
(The camera moves into Detrick's eyes, using it to transition to Freddy raising his beer in the bar, where everyone else then follows in suit)
To the soldier, the civilian
(The Hounds of Justice, Raptor Reigns, Furno Moxley & Aiden Black stand side by side, before cutting to CJ Hawk making Mason Rivers tap to the Twisted Claw in a practice ring)
The martyr, the victim
(Angelica Rhodes, beaten and battered smiles, before a clip of a heavily bloody Alexis Espinoza from Final Destination 3 fades onto the screen)
This is war
(We see quick clips of Roman hitting a Silent Kill on Ash Russo, Erin Frost hitting Natalia Rodriguez with the Arctic Fury, and lastly, Alexis Guerrero hitting Air to the Throne on Lacey Alvarez)
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie
(Jason Sabre clutches his ACW World Heavyweight Championship in his hand on that hill as dawn breaks, before switching over to Aldo Montoya, Jasper Cage and Ares standing behind Roman McIntyre who sits on a chair, leaning forward with his hands clasped)
The moment to live and the moment to die
(Freddy raises the ACW Cup on top of the ladder from FD3. Followed by Roman doing a Burning Empire off the top turnbuckle on Detrick Cyrus through a glass table)
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
(Detrick Cyrus and Jason Sabre have a staredown, followed by Ash Russo and Casper Russo)
To fight, to fight, to fight
(Then Angelica Rhodes and Alexis Espinoza, followed by Detrick Cyrus and Freddy Escobar, followed by Jason Sabre and Roman McIntyre)
To the right, to the left
(Azriel chokeslams Nolan Garson on top of Chris Wolf, followed by Rayleen Barnett having Lacey Alvarez in the dis-ARM-her)
We will fight to the death
(Jason Sabre and Detrick Cyrus exchange hands at Final Destination 3)
To the edge of the earth
(Phoenix does a Burn Out before we see Rey Aguayo and Jesus Garza get their hands raised)
It's a brave new world
(Casper Russo stands as Chris Wolf, Rayleen Barnett, Katashi Suzuki, Malice and Nolan Garson kneel in a line behind him)
From the last to the first
(We see quick shots of Jason and Azriel's standing across from each other)
To the right, to the left
(Followed by Freddy Escobar glaring at Detrick Cyrus as he watches Jason with the World Heavyweight Championship on TV)
We will fight to the death
(Angelica Rhodes drives the spike into Alexis Espinoza's head)
To the edge of the earth
(Erin Frost and Natalia Rodriguez sit back to back underneath the tree where Jason was located earlier)
It's a brave new world
(Ash Russo stops on the streets as a mural of Casper Russo is plastered on a wall next to him with the word 'Change')
It's a brave new world
(As the intro comes to a close, Jason Sabre slings the ACW World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder, before cutting to Erin Frost doing the same. The Two World Champions then both walk out of their locker rooms at the same time as a light shines when they open the door and ACW Fight Night appears)
The Long Island crowd is on their feet, excited after almost two months of no mainline ACW content. The Nassau Coliseum is rocking as we pan through the crowd where signs are aplenty. They pan to the new ACW Fight Night Stage, where there is a large Rectangular screen raised ten feet above the ramp. It is twenty feet tall and stretches across forty feet wide. It comes to a stop at both sides with two, rectangular screens on the left and right side. They are as tall as the main screen, but are not wide and are placed at a bit of a curve to give the image that they are facing each other. Below the screen, there is another, smaller wall with the ACW Fight Night logo. This wall is pushed backward a few feet as it seems like the wrestlers will enter from either the left or right side with curtains hidden behind the two tall trons. Suddenly, from underneath the jumbo tron a flare shoots out towards the stage hitting the middle of the ramp. On cue, three bursts of fire shoot out from the side of the ramp as a red pyro shoots up from the middle of the ramp. The Middle screen shows the ACW Fight Night Logo, while the vertical screen shows ACW World Heavyweight Champion Jason Sabre raising his Championship, almost as if he's facing the screen on the right side where Freddy Escobar is pictured.
"Welcome everyone, for the first time ever, LIVE from the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York. Welcome to ACW Fight Night 46! We have a spectacular show planned for you that will not end until the main event finishes!" David Harkness says as the pyro dies down and the music keeps going as we pan through the crowd and over to the announce table.
"And best of all, the Neal Deal is back on commentary!" Evan Neal jumps out of his seat, expecting applause.
"Sit down!" David Harkness shouts at him before we transition to a match graphic. "Tonight, all eyes will be on our main event as Jason Sabre will make his second defense of the ACW World Heavyweight Championship against the ACW Cup winner, Freddy Escobar."
"Well, that's not the only piece of gold that will be defended tonight. My crew, Vindication will defend the ACW Factions Championships against La Rebelion. Chris Wolf and Rayleen Barnett are looking to keep Vindications hot streak alive against Alexis Espinoza and Phoenix. Casper Russo will be watching…" Evan Neal says.
"In addition to that, we will see a debut as Christopher Helmsley will wrestle for the first time against Anthony Dre. I heard that Dre requested this match after an incident had taken place during Final Destination with Helmsley's crew, Reckless Youth, and his daughter." David Harkness mentioned.
"I've heard that Anthony Dre has actually been seething. Very uncharacteristic of him. We'll actually be hearing from him after our opening match." Evan Neal said.
"Yes, that is correct. ACW will be introducing two new championships. The Queen's Crown and The King's Crown. The Queen's crown will be decided in a gauntlet-style tournament called the Superstar Series, which will begin tonight when the woman who drew number one, Mei Wu Long battles number two, Eliza Bourne. But the King's Crown will be decided in the first ever Race Against Time in 4 weeks at ACW: The Crown. The participants for that match will be decided over the next four weeks in qualifying matches. The first of those matches wil be…."
"Now!" Evan Neal cuts off David.
It takes one strike to light the match
It takes one match to light the flame
And it takes one flame to light the fire, defy
And set the world on fire
"The following contest is set for one fall and it is a King's Crown qualifying match. First, representing Defiance, ACW's Breakout Winner, Gregg Hart!" as Gregg Hart gets a very mild reaction (58/0)
"We have an announcer?! Where is he, I can't see him." Evan Neal is surprised.
"Yes, we do and he's actually announcing over the PA system in the arena. We also have a new member of the roster, Gregg Hart. He earned a large contract by winning the ACW Breakout competition last night. He is one hell of a technician, but with people like Natalia Rodriguez and Jason Sabre guiding him, he could be a prospect to watch here in ACW." David Harkness puts him over (As well as his faction).
"He's a very tall guy with a fantastic physique, but this is ACW David. He would be great if this was a minor league. But this is the big time. This is where professionals wrestle. As far as I am concerned he is not even middle of the pack in this world." Evan Neal says.
Had hit records on my demo
Did y'all boys not get the memo?
I do not stay at the Intercontinental
And anything I got is not a rental
"Now his opponent, representing Alpha Omega Psi, The Olympic Silver Medalist, Brandon Duke." He says as the crowd gives Duke some decent boos. (0/76)
"What if he beats a man like Brandon Duke? One of the finest grapplers we have here in ACW. A win over him would be big for Gregg Hart." David Harkness said.
"I can agree to that, but we both know that Brandon Duke isn't here to make the new kid look good. Brandon Duke is here to get the win and go on to the Race Against Time so he can be the King's Crown Champion. Remember, the person who holds that Championship will get to trade it in for the ACW World Heavyweight Championship match at Celebration in Cardiff, Wales. That's the big money here! And Duke loves the money as much as he loves the babes." Evan Neal said.
"You're absolutely right. At the end of the day, this is Gregg Hart's first match. But being in the same faction as two bonafide GOAT's and being a part of one of wrestling's greatest bloodlines does not mean you're going to walk over an athlete like Brandon Duke. Brandon Duke has an Alpha mentality. Gregg is in for a tough first match as a part of our main roster. Let's see if he can pull off the upset and advance to ACW: The Crown." David Harkness hypes up the match as Duke finishes his entrance.
The bell rings as the two men do not waste any time, before locking up. Duke, quickly drops to a knee, not because he's overpowered, but to keep a steady form as Gregg is now forced to hunch over on the lock-up, losing some leverage. Duke then moves his right arm away from the lock-up, using his left hand to clutch at Gregg's goatee and use it to force his head to face away from him, while using his right arm to wrap around the leg of Gregg Hart. In a second, Brandon moves his left hand and then wraps that arm around the right leg of Gregg Hart as well, attempting a takedown. It isn't pretty as Gregg doesn't initially go down for a few seconds, battling Duke's grapple. Eventually, Brandon can get him down on his ass. Brandon tries to let go and move towards his upper torso on the mat, attempting to get him flat on his back for a side mount. Brandon does get his arm around Gregg's head and get's in a perpendicular stance over his torso. The problem is that Gregg is refusing to fall onto his back and is moving too much, making it difficult for Brandon to get full control over his body. Gregg puts a hand in Duke's face and then uses it to try and push him off his torso. Gregg forces off Duke. Brandon rolls toward the bottom rope, failing to get Gregg in any sort of Guard or mount.
"There are a lot of people right now, watching this match and waiting to see how Gregg performs. Right now, he avoided the mat game with Brandon Duke, which may have been a very good thing for him." David Harkness said as Gregg reached his feet.
"Gregg Hart, the newest member of Defiance has a lot to prove to everyone in ACW. There's a lot of people that he only got the contract because he was on a team with Jason Sabre during Breakout." Evan Neal brings up while Brandon Duke has also pulled himself up to his feet by the ropes.
Gregg motions for Brandon to meet in the middle of the ring. Duke looks almost insulted at the challenge from the rookie and meets him there with a slap across the chest of Gregg Hart. Gregg takes it like a man and replies with a forearm across the face of Brandon Duke. Brandon takes it in the same way. Brandon Duke replies with his own forearm. Gregg Hart delivers a knife edge chop, aiming for the skin between the blue straps (with white accents) of Duke's singlet. Both men absorb these strikes as Brandon replies with another chop, only for Gregg to kick him in the gut and deliver a right hand over the cranium of the Olympic Silver Medalist. Duke finally reacts, grabbing his head, before Gregg runs off the ropes to build momentum. A Shoulder Block connects!
Brandon crawls around the ring as Gregg follows him. Gregg uses Brandon's singlet to pull him up and take him to a corner of the ring. Gregg delivers a shoulder block to the midsection of Duke. He then follows with a second one, before doing a third one and taking a step or two back, leaving Duke to stand in the corner. Gregg Hart delivers an impressive Standing Dropkick in the corner, catching Brandon Duke on the chest. The crowd finally applauds (74/0) a little bit for the show of athleticism. Brandon takes a couple of steps away from the corner, before dropping to all fours after that. Gregg delivers a Pointed Elbow Drop to the back of Brandon Duke's head, before rolling him over on his back to attempt a pinfall.

Kick out.
"Brandon Duke was able to kick out but notice how he's a little slower now than he was at the start of the match. Of course, getting an elbow from a 6'5, 239-pound man is never going to help in scenarios like this." David Harkness said noting the pace of Duke as he's trying to get to his feet.
"These are two Heavyweight grapplers. One is an Olympic athlete and the other survived the fabled Hart Dungeon. They'll both hit hard and stretch you out like you're Gumby." Evan Neal said.
Gregg walks over to Duke, helping him to his feet, only for Brandon to catch him with a surprise European Uppercut! Gregg reels backward, but Brandon stays close and delivers a second European Uppercut to take Gregg Hart down to the mat! Brandon showboats to the crowd with a Jack Swagger-esque smile and arms spread, to get some heat going as Gregg gets to his feet. Duke is quick as a cat to snatch him in a waistlock from behind. German Suplex! Brandon still has the waist lock in and rolls to his feet, before hitting a second one! But there's more as Brandon Duke rolls up to his feet one more time, forcing Gregg up to his feet with the waistlock still in. Brandon completes the Rolling German Suplex trifecta! Brandon Duke hooks a leg.

Kick out at 2.45!
Gregg lays on his side, showing the effects of that combination, while Brandon Duke has his back turned sitting beside him, upset that wasn't a three count. Duke turns around, to drag himself and Gregg Hart to their feet. Brandon Duke goes for his signature Silver Medal Slam (Olympic Slam). But when he tries to pick Gregg up off the mat, Gregg Hart elbows him right on the back of the head and neck area. He does a few more quick elbows to get Brandon to let go. Gregg then quickly delivers a Spinning Back Elbow to Duke, sending Brandon back down to the ring mat. Gregg takes a second to hunch over and catch his breath as Duke is still on the ring mat, having slid to the corner. Gregg walks over to pick Brandon Duke up. He forces the Olympian into the corner, before lifting him to a seated position on the top turnbuckle. Gregg Hart climbs up to Uncle Bret's rope, the middle and hooks Brandon Duke up for a Superplex. The Long Island crowd reaches their feet as Gregg powers Duke upside down in the air and then drops backward with a Superplex!
"With grit and determination to prove he belongs in Defiance and ACW, Gregg Hart connects with a ring-shaking Superplex!" David Harkness said as the crowd cheered as the two lay on the ring mat.
"Don't forget David. This match is also to determine who will be the first person in the Race Against Time match for the King's Crown at ACW: The Crown in four weeks." Evan Neal reminds everyone of the stakes.
"That's not lost either of these men as well." David follows.
Gregg Hart gets to his feet first as Brandon is following in suit. Gregg kicks Duke in the gut and puts him between his legs, grabbing him by the waist. He tries to lift him for a piledriver. But Duke is smart and drops to a single knee to make it tougher. Gregg still tries, but cannot pull Brandon up. This causes, the Golden Hart to pivot and club Duke over his upper back with his forearm. Gregg Hart then pulls Brandon to his feet and delivers a pair of right hands to the head. He tries to make it a Trio, but Duke blocks it and drives his knee into the breadbasket of Gregg Hart! Brandon then hooks Gregg's wrist and leg, before pulling him up into the air and connecting the Silver Medal Slam! The crowd pops for the out-of-nowhere nature of the move as Duke hooks the leg.

Kick out at 2.9!
The crowd starts a 'This is Awesome' chant (81/0), much more invested now than they were at the start. Meanwhile, Duke is pissed off that Gregg just kicked out. Brandon Duke gets to his feet and takes the straps down as Gregg is slow to get a Vertical base. Brandon Duke kicks Gregg in the midsection, before putting him in a Gutwrench position. He's going for the Alpha Bomb (Sitout Gutwrench Suplex)! But Gregg gets out of it with a Back Body Drop, before Duke can pick him up. Ten minutes have elapsed! Brandon gets to his feet only for Gregg Hart, to wrap his arms around his torso and deliver the Hart to Heart (Belly to Belly Suplex). Gregg immediately hooks the leg.

Duke kicks out at 2.25!
"We're seeing Gregg show some frustration in his face after the Hart to Heart did not pick up the win and send him into a Championship match at ACW: The Crown." David Harkness says as Gregg slaps the ring mat a couple of times after the kickout.
"Gregg should be happy that he was able to avoid the Alpha Bomb or else he wouldn't have a chance of making it to Atlanta in four weeks." Evan Neal follows.
Gregg gets to his feet, helping Brandon to his in the process to inflict more damage. Gregg scoops Brandon up so he is upside down, in perfect position for his signature, Hart Murmer (Tombstone Piledriver). But before, Gregg can drop him on his head, Brandon Duke slides his body downwards to escape Gregg's grip and wraps his arms around Gregg's ankle. Gregg is tripped up as Brandon Duke counters the Hart Murmer to lock in one of his finishers, The Alpha Lock (Ankle Lock). Brandon is on his feet, twisting the ankle of Gregg Hart who is using both his hands to keep his chest on the mat. Gregg rolls through the submission and Brandon Duke hits the ropes. Duke comes back at Gregg, the second he gets to his feet. Gregg goes for another Hart to Heart, but before he can, Duke headbutts him! Gregg lets go, and Duke follows with a European Uppercut and then a second Silver Medal Slam! Duke hooks a leg!

Somehow Gregg kicks out as the place is on their feet! They start a 'Gregg' chant, but Duke is not going to let that last any longer or grow at all. He lifts Gregg to his feet and kicks him in the gut. Alpha Bomb (Gutwrench Sitout Powerbomb) connects! Brandon hooks the leg.
"One heck of an effort by Gregg Hart, but this is game, set, match." Evan Neal chimes in.

"Here is your winner at 13:46 and advancing to ACW: The Crown, The Olympic Silver Medalist, Brandon Duke!" is heard as the crowd boos (0/78).
"Brandon Duke has earned his spot at ACW: The Crown. As you stated, Defiance's new member showed up tonight, but Duke was just a little better." David Harkness said.
"Better luck next time rookie. You're not beating an Olympic Silver Medalist and at this time, the current favorite to become the first King Crown Champion in the Race against Time match." Evan Neal claims
"He's the only one in the match so far." David Harkness brings up.
"My point still stands!" Evan replies as Brandon Duke gets his hand raised.
"Well, up next, we'll see if our next debutee can get a win as Christopher Helmsley battles Natalie's backstage guest, Anthony Dre." David Harkness segues over to backstage.
We cut back to the ACW Interview area where Natalie Gutierrez stands beside Anthony Dre.
"Thank you David. I am joined by Anthony Dre. Mr. Dre, you are a few minutes away from facing Christopher Helmsley. Everyone has been noticing that you're not your usual self tonight. What is it about Helmsley that has put you in this state of mind?" Asks Natalie.
"Let the Dre talk to ya for a second, mamacita. I know you're looking at the Dre. And I know what you're thinking. Damn, he is sexy when he's angry. Well here's a newsflash for ya, The Dre is sexy no matter what emotion is running through The Dre's mind. Now here's why The Dre is feeling a little red."
He raises his hand showing all five of his fingers to the camera.
"Five punks came to The Dre's party. Five Punks call themselves Reckless Youth. They came uninvited. The disrespected me. More importantly, they disrespected the product of the Dre's seed, my daughter. Christopher Helmsley. You're the leader of this group. So you are the first to learn that The Dre ain't gonna lay on his back like a paralyzed hooker and take it. You kids forget, that the Dre has been in this industry longer than you punks have been alive. And maybe it's been a while since the Dre has been more than a laugh in this industry."
Anthony stops, looking dead at the camera.
"Don't mistake the Ha-ha part of the act for being soft. The Dre is still kicking. The Dre is still punching. And it's about time that the 'ha ha' stops and people put some respect on the name. Forget about Dre? Nah-uh. Tonight, you remember the Og. You remember the D. R. E."
After spelling out his name, we can hear the crowd get riled up as we fade out on Anthony Dre.
(Ad Break)
We return, not to the ring in Long Island but elsewhere at a remote location. More specifically a nice suburban neighborhood. A moving truck is pulled up in front of an apartment building. We pan down to our favorite pair of opposite energies, Asher Darma and Yul Bannok with a box in each of their arms. The two men enter through the front door.
"Mon, you really didn't need to give your house to that con artist. We're stuck in a small apartment now." Yul chastises Asher.
"What are you talking about my friend? I donated the house so the kids that are orphans can have a nice roof over their head." Asher replies.
"Who cares about the orphans? They're used to misery. What about us? We could've used a nice big house. We could've had three bathrooms each!" Yul Bannok says as he presses the door to the elevator.
"Don't be the negative Yul. We still work for the number one wrestling and entertainment company. Plus, we still have the roof over the head." Asher said.
"Mon, we only really get paid when we win. Our record says that the checks aren't big. On top of that, Papa Hawk takes a percentage of our merch." Yul complains as the elevator opens and the two enter.
"Turn your frown upside from the downside. We do not need a large house. We have the joy of an apartment! Less space. Potential friends close bye. More intimate environments-" Asher said.
"Pause." Yul Bannok stops him. "Don't say intimate."
The elevator opens. The two men step out with their boxes, walking down the hall as Yul continues.
"There's nothing good about living here." Yul Bannok said.
Just as he said that, a slender Japanese woman with milky white skin walks in front of the two men with her own box. She has a round face with light brown eyes and high cheekbones. The woman with pink lipstick and blush notices the two guys walking her way with boxes. Yul is obviously looking the 5'3 girl up and down.
"...hi?" She speaks.
"Hello, new friend. My name is Asher Darma. This is Yul Bannok. We are both wrestlers with professional credentials." Asher excitedly speaks to her.
"Oh, that's nice." The woman says, a little put off by Asher's high energy. She tries to remain polite. "I am Saukra. Sakura Yuri."
"Oh….just like the flower. I am noticing that you are across the hallway from our apartment! Is that not exciting Yul?! We not only get to live together and do everything together, but we can have a third join us. We are going to have so much of the fun together!" Asher rubs his hands excitedly.
"Oh…no…" Sakura quickly shakes her head to decline as Asher is confused. "I'm happy that your relationship is adventurous, but I'm actually taken. I do love your guys relationship for you, it's very progressive. But I don't like doing things….like that"
"Aye, we're not in a relationship, we are just roommates." Yul tries to defend himself.
"Thank you for complimenting my relationship with Yul." Asher says.
"Brudda, you're not helping me get the Jamaican Jerk." Yul Bannok states only to be ignored
"But if you ever change your minds, you are invited to today's crocheting class with us!" Asher smiles.
The elevator opens again. The three turn their attention to see not one, but two familiar faces. Former ACW Factions Champions and brothers, Wei and Lee Wu Long.
"Hurry up Sakura. Wei has been waiting all week for Karaoke night." Lee Wu Long calls, not noticing his stone faced older brother's cold glance toward him.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little busy tonight." Sakura Yuri walks away from them. Asher and Yul Bannok watch as she reaches the elevator, giving Lee a peck on the lips. Meanwhile, as the elevator door closes, the cold stare of Wei Wu Long doesn't leave the sight of Asher Darma and Yul Bannok. The doors close, before Asher turns to Yul.
"What do you think Wei sings for Karaoke?" Asher asks.
"I don't have a good feeling about that stare." Yul Bannok comments.
"I am not familiar with that song." Asher Darma replies, clearly not getting it.
We cut back to Nassau Coliseum as the David Harkness's voice greets us.
"Welcome back to ACW Fight Night 46. I have just received word that Sofia Reynoso is in the building. She will be joining us later tonight, live, in the ring." David Harkness hypes up.
"Yeah, well I just got word, that the superior to La Rebelion, Angelica Rhodes is here. And she's not happy about Alexis Guerrero getting a World Championship match before her. She's currently meeting with Aldo Montoya as we speak. And good for you Angelica! You won Devil's Playground 3. You should get a title match!" Evan Neal tries to one up David and kiss up to the American Princess.
You call it a hobby, I call it a way of life
No way that you can stop me
You know that I've been trainin', right?
The more you try to block me, the more that I control the fight
"The following contest is set for one fall. First, from Greenwich, Connecticut, U.S. Representing, Reckless Youth. He is self-proclaimed 'New Game in Town', Christopher Helmsley." The anonymous announcer said to some mild boos for the newcomer (0/62)
"This man was born and bred to be a Professional Wrestler. However, there have been many reports that him and his group of hooligans are complete jackasses." David Harkness states.
"We have not met the other four members of Reckless Youth yet. Angel Espinoza, Raven Singh, Yazmin Darma and Juvia Yung are in line to make their debuts in ACW. In the meantime, the five of them got together and decided that it would be fun to be an absolute nuisance. Personally, I think they're misunderstood." Evan Neal states.
Hollywood Hills, pocket full of shells
Sunset drag and I haven't even slept all day
Zone in, something's gotta give
Might as well live it up until the fat lady sings
"And his opponent, representing Hope, Anthony 'Freakin' Dre!" He says to a good pop, possibly as an after-effect of his promo. (81/0)
"You always have to be the contrarian don't you? The first victim of these nuisances was Anthony Dre. Helmsley is making his debut tonight, but after hearing what Dre said before the break, this is a fired-up Anthony Dre." David Harkness said
"We have seen Anthony on ACW since its inception. He is a veteran of the sport and was disrespected personally by Reckless Youth. I don't think we've ever seen Anthony Dre like this before," Evan Neal notes the drastic change in Dre's demeanor.
The bell rings as Dre lunges toward Helmsley, beginning to deliver a series of right hands to the head. Christopher doesn't let him get too much of an edge, delivering a single solid right hand to the jaw of Anthony Dre. Dre is immediately shut down. Christopher Irish Whips Anthony towards the ropes. Dre comes back into a Clothesline! Helmsley then bounces off the ropes himself, coming back and jumping in the air. He connects with a Jumping Knee Drop to Dre's head! The Reckless Youth member then puts Dre in a chin lock while lying on the ground. Helmsley talks trash as he keeps Dre in the chinlock. We hear audibly 'Did you really think that you were going to act fired up and just magically become a good wrestler? You would only have a chance tonight if you could transfer your daughter's ability to suck dick into wrestling ability."
"Disgusting comments, did you hear that!?" David displays disgust.
"I'm very interested in her skills," Evan replies.
And with those words from Helmsley, a chant of 'D-R-E!' is heard. Anthony Dre has a look of anger on his face. Anthony begins to pull himself off the ring mat as Helmsley has the chin lock in. Christopher Helmsley is forced to get to his feet trying to keep Dre in the hold. Anthony Dre drives an elbow to the midsection of Hemsley! Then a second one! Then a third one! Helmsley lets go! Anthony Dre delivers a right hand to Helmsley. Then a second one. Anthony winds his hand back, spits in his hand and delivers one final right hand, causing Christopher Helmsley to fall to the mat. The crowd was into it (85/0) as Dre looked around at the cheering crowd. Anthony then does a LA Knight-style point as the crowd chants 'D-R-E' as he moves his finger. Anthony runs off the ropes and delivers a jumping elbow to Helmsley, before hooking his leg.

Kick out at 2.2!
Dre gets to his feet and shakes his head while wagging his feet. He steps into the corner and hunches over, shaking his leg, signaling for a Dre Kick (Sweet Chin Music). Helmsley gets to his feet as Dre lunges with the kick. Christopher catches his foot! Christopher then delivers a Dragon Screw Leg Whip! Anthony gets to his feet limping, before Christopher picks him up in a Torture Rack position. Anthony begins to struggle, which makes Christopher drop him off his shoulders. Anthony lands on his feet behind Helmsley. Helmsley turns around to a Dre Kick attempt. Christopher ducks underneath the kick and gets behind Anthony. Anthony almost hits the ref, but stops his foot. The ref flinches turning around. Anthony turns around into an eye poke. The ref gets back in a position where he can see both men. Helmsley kicks Anthony Dre in the gut, before delivering the Pedigree! Helmsley turns Dre onto his back and pins him.

"Here is your winner, at 3:58, Christopher Helmsley"
"What a debut! Helmsley wins! Helmsley wins!" Evan Neal cheers
"Stop that right now. You saw the eye poke." David Harkness said.
"I may have saw it, but the referee didn't." Evan Neal lets out a laugh as Anthony Dre rolls out of the ring sitting on the ring apron…
And immediately gets hit smacked across the head by a black trash bag full of something… The crowd is stunned as Dre falls over onto his, holding the side of the head. The camera pans to the side and upwards to reveal Raven Singh was the perpetrator of this. Raven drops his bag and reaches into it as we see Angel Espinoza, Yazmin Darma and Juvia Yung all in the aisle of the bottom level of the crowd, walking towards the ringside area.
"Come on! Helmsley already won. This does not need to turn into a gang beatdown." David Harkness rants as the other three jump the barrier as Helmsley grabs Dre's foot and arm from inside the ring to pull him back in.
"Dre is about to learn that they're not just a nuisance. They're dangerous." Evan Neal comments as Raven Singh pulls out a steel chain. Raven tosses one to Angel as he passes bye. Angel catches it with one hand and begins to swing it around as the crowd boo.
Yazmin Darma and Juvia Yung are on the otherside of the ring, looking under the ring skirt. All of a sudden, the girls pull out a table. There's, of course, a pop for it. In the ring Helmsley has mounted Anthony Dre and delivering a series of right hands to his head, keeping him down. He gets up as Angel Espinoza approaches. Angel whips the steel chair right into the torso of Anthony Dre as the two girls slide the table into the ring. The crowd starts a 'Dre' chant, but it's useless as Anthony Dre now has the chain wrapped around his neck as Helmsley sets up the table. Yazmin and Juvia get some cheap stomps in on Anthony as Angel chokes him with the chain. Dre, looks like all the oxygen has left his body. Raven is now perched on the top turnbuckle waiting. Angel lets go of the choke on Dre. Dre falls over. Helmsley picks Dre up and lays him on the table. Everyone turns their attention to Raven Singh on the top turnbuckle.
Sever every tie
Untangle every lie
Your words don't mean anything anymore, no
Never satisfied
"Looks like someone has Dre's back tonight." Evan Neal said.
There's a big pop as CJ Hawk makes his presence known. Helmsley sees CJ sprinting down the ramp. CJ slides in underneath the bottom rope, but immediately gets whipped in the back with Angel Espinoza's steel chain. Regardless, CJ fights through the stinging pain and gets to his feet. Angel swings the chain at his head, but CJ ducks underneath and kicks Angel in the gut. CJ Hawk turns around.
Raven jumps off the top rope at CJ with a crossbody, but CJ catches him…..
Yazmin low blow's CJ Hawk from behind!
"Well…that sucks for Erin." Evan Neal dryly comments.
CJ releases Raven and grabs his eggs. From behind, Helmsley delivers a running knee to the back, sending 'The Wrestler' tumbling to the ground. Angel and Raven stomp on him for a few second, before Helmsley picks up the chain and gives commands. Raven makes his way back up to the top turnbuckle as Christoper nails CJ over the head with a chain wrapped right hand. We can hear Hemsley audibly say…
"If Hope wants to play with us, we'll play. Erin. Caesar. This old bag of bones. We'll make all of your lives a living hell. We run this bitch now. We do what we want, when we want to who we want. Pick this bitch up!"
Helmsley commands Angel to pick Hawk up. Angel Espinoza follows orders. Christopher kicks him in the gut and delivers a Pedigree. Helmsley then yells 'Do it now!" at Raven Singh. Raven does the Heavy Explosion (Imploding 630 senton) on Anthony Dre through the table. The 'Holy Shit!' chants are loud as Helmsley stands over the two members of Hope peering out at the crowd. Aggression on his face. Meanwhile, behind him, the rest of the faction is smiling and having a good time. Juvia and Yazmin are kneeling over Anthony Dre's prone body, mocking him, while Angel helps Raven up.
"If you didn't know who they are before…you know them now. Reckless Youth just laid out Anthony Dre and CJ Hawk." David Harkness said as On Another Level plays.
"Did you hear what Helmsley said about making Hope's life a living hell? Oh boy, it's going to be great! Just like our main event tonight as Jason Sabre defends the ACW World Heavyweight Championship against Freddy Escobar" Evan Neal segues to a match graphic, before that transitions to another one.
"Yes, but that's not the only Championship match on deck for Long Island. Up next, Vindication's Chris Wolf and Rayleen Barnett will defend the ACW Faction's Championship against Alexis Espinoza and Phoeniz of La Rebelion. Will La Rebelion take home their third Factions title?" David Hakness question as we cut…
…to backstage, where our ACW World Heavyweight Champion, Jason Sabre is on his phone backstage, texting. Jason is casually sitting on a chair, staying out of the way of our hard-working backstage crew. Jason feels a nearbye presence and stands up, slipping his phone into the pocket of his leather jacket.
"Can I help you?" Jason greets him.
"My name is James Black. I was on Breakout. Was I interrupting something?" The Welshman asked the Ace.
"Don't worry about it. I was just texting Flynn. He's in Ireland right now. Other than that, I'm just focusing on beating Freddy again." Jason tells him. "Listen, I don't know what you're doing backstage. But I do know that you had issues with Gregg during Breakout. The bottom line is that the people voted him in to get the big contract. If you're looking to weasel your way into the company through me, then go back to the drawing board kid. I'm not here to play politics and give handouts to guys I just met one minute ago. I'm here to be the World Heavyweight Champion."
Jason grabs the World Heavyweight Championship and slings it across his shoulder. James eyes up the belt.
"You can take a picture of it if you want. It might be the only way you ever take a title home."
"Funny. I believe that one day I will hold gold in ACW. I did not come here to beg for a job. I came here to ask for you to consider something. Tonight, your ally, Gregg Hart had an opportunity to get into Race against Time and possibly win the King's Crown. It's a shame that he failed Defiance and lost. If i was in that spot it would've been a different story. I question how a man who sits under the learning tree of two greats in this industry can't manage a win in a high stakes match." James ponders before Jason raises his hand towards him to cut him off.
"Alright, Hiccup. I get it. He lost his debut and now Defiance isn't getting another Championship. I'm not going to lie, I expected him to win, so I am more than a bit disappointed. But I'm standing here and listening to you talk trash about Gregg. Let me ask you something. How are you going to hate on a guy when you're standing from outside the club? You don't have a contract. You probably snuck in through a backdoor to get back here."
"Please don't call security." James Black asks.
"I won't. I'm not a snitch. In fact I can respect the hustle of sneaking into the arena just so you can try and the World Champions attention. That's pretty bold of you. But that doesn't change the fact that you are not signed to ACW. It doesn't change the fact that you're bitter because Gregg Hart is on ACW while you have to watch from home. I could tell from the second I saw your face that you're envious of him." Jason calls James out.
"I'm not." James Black is quick to say.
"You're a bad liar. You wish you were him. You wish that you could wrestle in ACW. You wish that you are the one who's learning from two of the best in the industry. You probably wish that last name meant a damn thing and it eats you up that you aren't the one living your dream. You went into Breakout thinking that all the years you put into your craft was going to pay off! You thought that chasing the dream was over and living the dream started! But it didn't-"
James is quite as Jason analyzes his point of view.
"Gregg was born with wrestling in his blood. You weren't. The truth is that you had to work a little harder just to get on Breakout, because you're last name meant nothing. So it eats you up inside. Because in your head, your reasoning for being eliminated from Breakout while Gregg Hart won it, is not because he was more popular or a better wrestler than you. No, you think Gregg won because his last name means more than your entire existence."
That last line stung James Black.
"Let me give you some advice. Channel whatever hatred you have for Gregg. Channel any dislike you have for me for tearing you a new one. Hell channel your disdain for everyone who chose a Hart over the guy who grinded for years. Channel all of it! And keep going. Keep grinding. Find your opportunities and maybe one day, you'll be here."
Jason pats James Black on the shoulder.
"Maybe I'll see you around." Jason Sabre walks past James Black leaving him to ponder everything Jason just said.
(Ad Break)
We return to the office of Aldo Montoya. But Aldo is not there…other than a large bust of him. Instead, Roman McIntyre is sitting in a Relaxe Zero-Gravity Shiatsu Massage Chair. Roman is relaxing on the chair before Aldo Montoya enters the room. Roman looks up at Aldo from his chair.
"What did the board say?" Roman asks.
"You are on the shortlist of possible number-one contenders for the ACW World Heavyweight Championship. We'll have confirmation next week. They want to wait for tonight's main event." Aldo explains, before Roman gets up from the massage chair, loosening his joints, as he speaks
"I've been waiting a long time to get a rematch. It doesn't matter if it's Jason or Freddy, they won't be ducking my challenge like Detrick did. With Ash Russo focused on his big brother, everything's clear for me to take back what I never should've lost."
Clap. Clap. Clap. Roman McIntyre narrows towards behind Aldo. Aldo turns his head and smiles.
"That's right Roman. The title is coming home to the New Order." A man steps into the shot. The man is shorter than Roman at 6'2, but is not at all a small man. The three-piece suit-wearing man has a large grin on his face as he shakes hands with Aldo.
"Who in the hell are you supposed to be?" Roman McIntyre is unimpressed by this smug-looking dirty blonde. Roman sizes the guy up, fully showing his intimidating stature.
"Cálmate, big man. This is Tate Williams. The newest member of the New Order. Next week he's debuting in a Race Against Time qualifier." Aldo Montoya says.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I've seen your work and I have to say….very impressive. There's no doubt in my mind after what you did at Final Destination 3 that you're the only person who should be World Heavyweight Champion. It doesn't matter if it's that arrogant man who dares to call himself the Ace of this industry. Or if, by the grace of god, the intoxicated hobo. You will defeat them and take back what belongs to you. Meanwhile, myself and Lacey will hold down the Kings and Queen's Crown." Tate Williams claims.
"You do know that whoever the Kings Crown Champion is in June has to trade it in for a World Championship match at Celebration, right?" Roman continues to eye him down.
"Oh I know. I'll cross that bridge when I get there." Tate Williams said.
"You mean 'We'll' cross that bridge when 'We' get there." Roman McIntyre notes Tate's words. Tension is in the room as Tate looks to not be bothered and grinning his way through it as Roman is legiving him an icy introduction to the faction.
"My mistake." Tate Williams said, still grinning until we cut away.
"The following contest is set for one fall and it will be a tag team match for the ACW Factions Championship!" The anonymous announcer brings us back to the arena for more live action as the crowd is excited about a championship match.
Feel it coming in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the thrill
It's a dangerous love affair
"First, the challengers, representing La Rebelion, 'The Queen of the South' Alexis Espinoza and 'The Bird of War' Phoenix." He announces to a massive pop for the popular faction (97/0).
"At Final Destination 3, it was a tough night for all of La Rebelion as they lost the ACW Factions Championships to Vindication. In addition to that, Sofia Reynoso and Alexis Espinoza both suffered losses." David Harkness reminds everyone.
"Alexis has healed from her Devil's Playground match with Angelica Rhodes. Now that she has bowed to the American Princess, she's looking to bow down to Vindication tonight." Evan Neal takes shots at Alexis Espinoza.
Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls
"Now the ACW Factions Champions. Representing Vindication, 'The Alpha' Chris Wolf and 'The Warmaiden' Rayleen Barnett." He announces to some decent heat with light cheering. (28/78)
"Alexis Espinoza shed a lot of blood in Devil's Playground, but so did Angelica. That match was pure brutality but in the end, Angelica won. Tonight the entire faction is looking to bounce back by taking home their third ACW Factions Championship." David Harkness said.
"Yeah, well good luck with that. Chris Wolf and Rayleen Barnett are not the competitors they were when they debuted. This is a well-built team unified by our great savior, Casper Russo." Evan Neal says.
The bell rings as Alexis Espinoza elects to start things off with the much bigger Rayleen Barnett. The crowd begins a light 'Rebelion' chant as Alexis and Rayleen circle each other. Rayleen Barnett may have over half a foot on Alexis, but that does not stop the Queen of the South, from charging forward to lock up with her. Alexis tries her mightiest to push Rayleen back, but the Warmaiden does not budge. Instead, Rayleen, while still locked up with Alexis picks her up off her feet, getting a gasp from the crowd, before placing her back down onto her feet. The two women are still locked up, but Rayleen easily begins to back Alexis into the ropes. The ref begins to count for a clean break. One. Two. Three. Four. Rayleen breaks the lock-up after proving her strength advantage over Alexis Espinoza. But while Alexis is backed against the rope, Rayleen takes the opportunity to deliver a shoot kick to her chest.
"Rayleen has the strength and size advantage with a proficiency is stikes and submission. Alexis Espinoza is in for a rough night." David Harkness said.
"It was pretty dumb of La Rebelion to send in their two smaller members for this match." Evan Neal criticizes the faction.
Alexis hunches over as the ref admonishes Rayleen. Rayleen isn't too bothered though as she does a second shoot kick to the chest, the second Alexis straightens out her posture on the ropes. Alexis hunches over again, before Rayleen grabs her by the arm, forcing her torso upwards and pushing her back against the ropes again. Rayleen Irish Whips Alexis to the opposite set of ropes. Alexis comes back and ducks under the leg of Rayleen as the Warmaiden attempts a roundhouse kick. Alexis runs off the set of ropes behind Rayleen while she's distracted with adjusting her stance. Rayleen turns right around to see Alexis Espinoza jumped over the ropes and onto the ring apron. Rayleen steps forward, but Alexis springboards off the ropes with a Springboard Forearm Smash. But Rayleen catches her in the head with a Roundhouse kick to shut that down!
The crowd cringes as Rayleen shakes her head at them, denying them the high flying move. She touches her mouth guard as Alexis Espinoza is on the ground holding her head, trying to get to some soft of vertical base. Rayleen is clearly not feeling in danger as she waits for Alexis to begin getting to her feet as things have slowed down and the crowd waits for what's next. Rayleen Barnett comes over to Alexis, helping to drag her to her feet so she can put her in a Muay Thai Clinch. Rayleen takes a few seconds to keep her in the clinch, knowing that she isn't going to escape, despite her moving, then delivers a single Knee Strike to her skull while she's in the clinch. She then delivers a second and third Muay Thai Clinch Knee Strikes, before delivering a Snapmare to put her in a seated position. She follows with a brutal kick to the spine! Alexis unleashes a screech of agony as she falls onto her side, her back feeling the effects of that kick.
Rayleen circles around Alexis as the crowd begins a 'You Suck!" chant at her. Rayleen is feeling good right now and gives the crowd a look, almost welcoming the chants for her bullying Alexis in this match. Rayleen hunches down to grab Alexis by her hair and pull her up to her feet. Then she delivers a second snapmare, before following that with a second kick to the spine, rubbing her dominance in the faces of Long Island. While Alexis is on the ground in agony, Rayleen decides to have a little fun, by rubbing the bottom of her boot against the Queen of the South's face. Rayleen then pulls Alexis up, ignoring Alexis trying to claw at her waist, before putting her in the Muay Thai clinch again and delivering a pair of knee strikes. She then moves backwards, towards her teams corner, Chris Wolf tags himself in, using Rayleen's shoulder.
"Chris Wolf is in as Alexis Espinoza struggles to get things moving in her team's favor." David Harkness said.
"I told you. Vindication is going to get an easy victory tonight. In a few moments, you're about to witness Alexis get mauled by a Wolf….Chris Wolf that is." Evan Neal continues to rally against La Rebelion.
Rayleen backs herself in the corner with the clinch still holding Alexis Espinoza as Chris enters the ring. Chris quickly sprints across the ring and knocks Phoenix off with a strike before turning back to where Alexis Espinoza and Rayleen Barnett are. Rayleen still her in the Muay Thai Clinch, driving her knee into The Queen of the South's chest once in a while waiting for Chris. The 'You Suck' chants grow as Chris grabs Alexis from behind in a waistlock, while Rayleen has her head in a Muay Thai Clich. Then Rayleen lets go, after delivering another Knee Strike, catching in jawline/neck area, before Chris Wolf drives Alexis into the ring mat with a Snap German Suplex! The boos rain down as Alexis is folded over as Chris smiles and licks his lips. Rayleen finally exits the ring, enjoying what she's done and just seen with that combination of moves between the Vindication members. Chris looks down at Alexis who is using his torn jean gear to pull herself up, clearly rocked by the Knee Strike/German combo. Chris says "Come on. Just lay down". Alexis throws a slap at Chris to a pop, but Chris is barely affected. Alexis then kicks Chris on his right leg. She throws a second one. Third. Fourth. Fifth. But Chris is barely reacting to it.
But he does react to a surprise forearm to the head. The crowd is starting to come back around and cheer. Alexis runs off the ropes and does a Tilt a Whirl on Chris….Around the World (Tilt a Whirl Stunner) connects! Chris falls back to the ropes and drops to a knee as Alexis crawls toward Phoenix who is ten feet away. Seven feet. Five feet. 'Phoenix' chants grow. Chris Wolf is on his feet and makes his way toward Alexis…. Only for her to jump forward and make a hot tag to Phoenix!
"Phoenix is finally in!" David Harkness calls.
Phoenix enters the ring and meets Chris Wolf with a Shotgun Dropkick that sends him onto his back. Chris gets to his feet, holding his chest, before Phoenix jumps in his arms to deliver a Monkey Flip. But that's not all, as the second Chris's back hit the mat, Phoenix rolls backward straight onto his feet to deliver a Standing Moonsault Footstomp on Chris! Phoenix motions to the crowd, who are feeding him with cheers. Phoenix begins to scale a neutral turnbuckle, with his back facing Chris. Phoenix goes for Burnout (Twisting Phoenix Splash). Chris rolls out of the way. Phoenix hits the ground on his knees and pushes himself up off the mat with his hands, having not crashed and burned completely. Phoenix leaps at Chris with a Lariat that sends him moonsaulting straight onto the mat, crashing flat on his front side. Chris gets to his feet and howls 'Awoooga', signaling that he's looking to wrap things up. Rayleen yells 'Behind you!"
"It's Ash Russo!" David Harkness calls.
Ash Russo hits Chris Wolf in the back with a steel chair! The place goes insane at the sight of Russo! The ref signals for a DQ amongst the noise (probably to avoid turning the crowd on them).
"Here is your winners at 10:24 via disqualification and still the ACW Factions, Chris Wolf and Rayleen Barnett, Vindication!" is announced as the crowd boo the result, but it isn't for long as Ash Russo slams the chair over Chris's back again, sending him to the ground.
"Who invited this madman?!" Evan Neal shouts in anger as Rayleen enters the ring, only for Ash Russo to crack her over the skull with the steel chair. "That's a beautiful woman!"
"I don't think he cares." David Harkness said as Ash Russo turns back to Chris, who is getting to his feet. Ash stomps his feet, as the crowd claps along to the beat. Ash is going for Rebellion (Claymore Kick), but Ash stops as Alexis Espinoza gets right into Ash's face, looking up at the taller man.
"Estas Loco? This was our rematch, you selfish piece of-" Alexis shouts, before Ash Russo pushes her to the side and connects with Rebellion on Chris Wolf! The crowd cheer as the move connects! Alexis Espinoza falls onto the floor as a result of the push. Ash is kneeling over Chris. He mouths to him.
"Tell Casper that I'm not stopping until it's just me and him."
As he says this, in the background, Alexis Espinoza has a scornful look on her face. Ash Russo doesn't notice as Isolation by Alter Bridge begins to play. He takes this as his to roll out of the ring and jump the guard rail, making his exit through the crowd. In the ring, Alexis Espinoza is helped up by Phoenix and not happy with what just happened.
"I think Ash Russo just pissed off the Queen of the South." David Harkness said.
"That cockroach keeps causing problems! Chris and Rayleen were about to retain before he decided to show up. Ash Russo needs to learn that he needs to quit being a brat to his older, wiser and kinder brother." Evan Neal complains.
"Later tonight, we have a World Heavyweight Championship match between Jason Sabre and Freddy Escobar. But, after these commercial breaks, Sofia Reynoso will have a live mic. I wonder how she will react to what just happened." David Harkness as we changes gears and then transition to…..
Earlier today
Hotel in Uniondale, NY
8:50 AM
Freddy Escobar sits on the edge of his bed talking into the phone. Two beer cans on his dresser.
"Hey Caesar. It's Freddy. I haven't heard from you in a long time. Get back to me big man." Freddy Escobar said, before ending the voice message. He then stands out of bed and goes to the miniature fridge. He opens it and grabs another can of beer. "Nothing like a nice cold one in the morning before winning the World Heavyweight Championship"
Freddy hears a knock on the door. Freddy cracks his drink open.
"I'm coming," Freddy says as the rapid-fire knocks continue. "Chill out with the knocking. I said I'm coming."
Freddy Escobar makes his way to the door after taking a sip of his beer. He opens it and frowns instantly…
"Hello, brother!" Detrick Cyrus greets him while extending his arms, almost as if he's going for a hug. "What? No love for your brother from another mother?"
"Last night, you publicly decided to get in my business. On top of that, you had the nerve to go up and try to convince Jason to change tonights World Championship match so you could face him instead of me. And on top of that is even more bullshit. You gave Jason ammo to rip me to shreds by looking past me as his challenger. So I'm sorry if I don't want to hug you right now." Freddy Escobar explains, quite loudly. Detrick puts his hands on his hips, nodding. Almost in a cartoonish manner.
"I get it. But Freddy….that's the past."
"That was literally yesterday." Freddy Escobar replies.
"Which is in the past. So I am correct as I usually am. Listen, you can't get mad at me for not believing in you. I mean look at you. It's the day of your World Heavyweight Championship match and you smell like beer. I was getting breakfast and there was a guy who worked at a local gym. He told me that Jason had been training since 6 AM." Detrick said.
Freddy Escobar's face sinks at the sound of Jason's early morning compared to his.
"So I got to thinking. You have no chance. Unless you get help." Detrick Cyrus said, before sounding like a preacher. "And praise the almighty lord, your salvation has arrived in the form of me."
"Detrick, respectfully, I need to do this on my own. I don't want shortcuts." Freddy Escobar said.
"Come on Freddy. Be realistic here. You're a Guerrero. We cheat. Imagine this. We stand side by side tonight. I help you finally beat Jason Sabre. Then you can celebrate. You can be the World Heavyweight Champion. Think about that. The crowd is going to boo you over Jason anyways. Might as well give them a reason to." Detrick paints a picture for Freddy, hoping that he buys it.
"Detrick, what are you up to? I know that you wouldn't change your tune unless it benefits you in some way." Freddy Escobar calls his own brother out.
"It's simple. I'm a kind guy. I want to see my brother do something that absolutely no one, including himself, thinks is possible. Win the ACW World Heavyweight Champion. And in return for me helping you etch your name into history…. We will then achieve our childhood dream of main eventing a Pay-Per-View together at ACW: The Crown. And on that night, I will defeat you to become the first two time ACW World Heavyweight Champion! What do you think?" The excited and smiling Detrick explains.
"What do I think?" Freddy says a little slowly. "I think that you should stay away from tonight's main event. I don't need anyone to beat Jason. I can do it alone."
Freddy slams the door shut on Detrick and walks away from the door, chugging his cold one.
"That's rude! I'm just trying to save you from a life as a complete failure." Detrick shouts from the other side of the door as Freddy ignores it.
(Ad break)
Yo, look, I woke up with my attitude, Kanye
I don't give a fuck what my mom say
Okay, maybe a little bit, but only cause I'm really not tryna start up any beef with my madre
But in my mind, today I'm Beyoncé
The fans are sent into a wild frenzy (101/0) . The theme played for a while before Sofia Reynoso came strutting out with her arms spread out and a grin cracking at the corner of her mouth. She stops at the start of the aisle, cupping her ears to the left side and then the right side to gauge each sides reactions. Sofia nods as she struts down the ramp, always confident, as she slaps hands with some young girls in the front row. She turns to the steel staircase, walking up them and then on to the apron. She wipes her feet before stepping between the middle and top ropes. Sofia is tossed a microphone as her music starts to fade out, but the chants down.
"SO-FI-A! SO-FI-A! SO-FI-A!"
"I don't want to speak for my girl Alexis. So I'm not going to speak for what just happened. I just want Ash Russo to know, that we were on the same side at Final Destination 3, but we're not on the same side anymore."
The crowd 'Ooh's' at the warning to the Anarchist.
"But I'll let my girl and the boys handle him. See, Alexis told me that I need stand on my business. You see, I was the Women's World Champion until Erin Frost cashed in before my match with Natalia. I showed my respect to Erin, because I'm not going to cry about that. She earned that title win. But here's the thing. I'm not sitting on the sidelines. I want my World Championship back. The Erin/Nattie drama is over. I don't care if Alexis Guerrero walks out Womens World Champion at ACW: The Crown. I'll bust her nose again. I don't care if Erin Frost retains in Atlanta. I beat her before too. Whichever one of you two wins. Just know, that I got next."
Sofia Reynoso warns the two people who will face off for the Womens World Championship in four weeks. The crowd is behind Sofia as she lowers her mic after her declaration.
Okay
I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling myself
Fuck everyone else
Gotta remember that nobody is better than anyone else, here
It's quite the surprise to hear My Name is Human by the Usual Suspects. Even Sofia Reynoso is a bit confused as Jasper Cage struts out with a microphone in his hand. Sofia stays in the ring, probably knowing that his appearance relates to her. Jasper has a shit eating grin on his face as people are booing him during his entrance. He gets on the ring apron and enters the ring. Sofia's eyes never leave Jasper. Jasper looks at someone offscreen, signaling with his hands to lower the music.
"I take it by the looks of surprise on everyone's face, including your pretty little face, Sofia, that I wasn't expected to be out here with you. But I have something to announce. Something exciting. You see, the episode of ACW Fight Night after the Crown will be our 50th episode. Now Aldo wants to make this a massive episode on the scale of….well, tonight."
The crowd cheers.
"Oh, you guys like that I called tonight a big event, right?"
There's another round of cheers.
"Well I guess you have nothing better to cheer for when you live in America's toilet bowl."
And on cue…there's the loud boos.
"But since you guys want to cheer. I'll give something else to cheer. Alexis Guerrero and Erin Frost will face off for the ACW Womens World Championship at ACW: The Crown. On Fight Night 50, the winner of that match will defend the ACW Womens World Championship against…"
Jasper points at Sofia, which gets a big pop. Sofia nods, ready to celebrate the announcement.
"Not you!"
And just like that, the place is deflated. Sofia Reynoso frowns and gets right in Jasper's face.
"Give me a reason why I shouldn't beat you scrawny ass right now?" Sofia is pissed at the troll job and so is the crowd.
"You clearly must have mistaken me for someone who would fear you. I'm not one of these room temperature IQ ingrates who would pay for your bath water. Allow me to reintroduce myself and put you in your place woman-"
Sofia did not like the sound of that at all and neither did the crowd as they boo Jasper relentlessly. Jasper is forced to speak over them loudly.
"I am a man of political power. If you touch me, I will have you suspended. I am not doing anything wrong that would warrant assault. I am simply announcing that you are not qualified to be the next World Championship challenger. Therefore, you will not lay your Taki fingers on me. You will not intimidate me with your wide physique and threaten me with suffocating on your oversized flesh melons. My name is Jasper Cage. Your name doesn't matter. I will not be disrespected by you or anyone here. Mensa-level humans worship me and I expect the same from a commoner like you. Do you understand me woman?"
After Jasper's intense and inappropriate rant, Sofia looks towards the crowd and camera. The heat is high in the arena at this point (0/103)
"I asked you a question. I assume that even with your lack of education, you are aware that the proper response is to answer the question." Jasper is hunched over so his face and the microphone is right next to Sofia's ear. "I am going to ask you again, senorita. Do you understand?"
Sofia raises her microphone to her lips.
"Nope!"
And then Sofia jacks Jasper's jaw with a right hand! The crowd goes wild as Jasper drops to the ring mat, holding his jaw. Sofia Reynoso walks right past his carcass as her theme song plays and exits the ring.
"Good! That disgusting bastard got what he deserved!" David Harkness cheers Sofia's actions, while an embarrassed and upset Jasper Cage sits up, holding his jaw.
"Suspend her! Suspend her right now! She assaulted an innocent bystander!" Evan Neal is on his feet, also upset at this.
"Sit down, you clown. Jasper did say something of note. On Fight Night 50, one day after ACW:The Crown, Erin Frost or Alexis Guerrero will defend the ACW Womens World Championship against someone. Who is it?" David questions.
"I don't know. I'm being told that Natalie Guiterrez will have an interview with Erin Frost after our commercial break. But up next, we will find out who will advance in the Superstar Series for the Queen's Crown as Eliza Bourne will battle Mei Wu Long." Evan Neal segues as we cut.
We cut to a video of an office. In the office, we can see multiple trophies for football achievements in a trophy case. We pan down to a desk when former Breakout competitor, Deon Blade is seen sitting in the office chair. Picutres of Deon Blade are facing the camera. As is a ridiculous center piece that says 'Mr. Primetime' in gold and diamonds.
"What? Are you all surprised to see me. Did you really think ACW was going to let a guy like me go? Man, they all knew that I should've won Breakout. The big money contract should be mine. But it ain't! Y'all were on X last night. You nerds saw the social media reaction. Deon Blade should've won Breakout. Everyone knows I am a big deal."
We hear footsteps.
"You damn right you're a big deal. That's why we scooped you up, the first chance we got after last night."
Ced suddenly walks into the shot. He is carrying what looks to be a light blue and amber lettermen-style jacket, similar to the one he wears.
"Alpha Omega Psi is proud to announce that we have officially signed Deon Blade to our faction and ACW." Ced announces. Deon Blade stands up from his seat, before Ced hands him the jacket.
"If you thought I was done for good. Think again. Alpha Omega Psi and Mr. Primetime Deon Blade are about to run this game. There ain't no one better than us. Y'all better recognize who the top players are." Deon Blade warns as he puts the jacket on. We fade away as Ced and Deon Blade stand side to side.
(Ad Break)
We return to our interview area, where Erin Frost stands with Natalie Gutierrez.
"Welcome back to ACW Fight Night 46. Later tonight, Freddy Escobar will challenge Jason Sabre for the ACW World Heavyweight Championship. And in a few moments, Eliza Bourne will face Mei Wu Long in our first Superstar Series match for the Queens Crown. But before we get to that, I am joined by the current ACW Womens World Champion, Erin Frost."
Natalie motions over to the always-positive Erin.
"Hello." Erin playfully waves at the camera.
"Erin, thank you for joining me on such short notice. A few minutes ago, we heard Jasper Cage announce the ACW Women World Championship match will be on the line at Fight Night 50. I was wondering if you know, who is challenging for the Championship on that night?" Natalie asked.
"Hey, mind if I cut in?" The voice of Alexis Guerrero is heard, before she steps into the shot.
"Hey Alexis. I'm doing an interview with-" Natalie tries to explain.
"It's okay. I don't mind her being interviewed too." Erin Frost said.
"Thanks. I didn't want to be rude, but the match at Fight Night 50 is after The Crown. I'm just a little confused on why only Erin is getting an interviewed about it. I'm the one who's challenging her for the World Championship at The Crown. I could be the one defending on Fight Night 50." Alexa Guerrero asked Natalie.
"Alexis, I don't think Natalie or anyone of the staff in ACW was trying to slight you." Erin Frost interrupts trying to defuse Alexis.
"I know. I'm not saying that they did, but it kind of sounds like that they're thinking too far ahead. Like they're skipping over the idea that I can win the ACW Women's World Championship from you." Alexis explains.
"That's because they are."
The three ladies turn their attention to where the voice is coming from. The camera pans to the side where Jade Wu Long and Angelica Rhodes are approaching. The voice had belonged to Angelica.
"Who the hell invited you two here?" Alexis Guerrero looks bothered by their presence. She looks like she's ready to square up, but Erin puts a hand on her shoulder and gives her a look to 'calm down'.
"I have more of a right to be here than you do." Angelica Rhodes looks down on Alexis. "And Jade goes where I go"
"Bitch, I'm the number one contender." Alexis Guerrero brings up.
"That's all you'll ever be. I came here to talk to Erin. After you're done beating you pet hamster at the Crown-" Angelica says before Erin has to put out her arm to block Alexis from attacking her.
"I'm about to mess you up." Alexis Guerrero is held back by Erin as Angelica Rhodes and Jade Wu Long look amused.
"Please calm down. Don't let her get to you." Erin advises.
"Anyways, before the dog starts barking again. I wanted to tell you that I'm going to be the one that takes the Women's World Championship from you at Fight Night 50." Angelica announces.
"I believe it's time to watch Mei fight Erin's other pet." Jade looks at her Apple watch.
"We'll be in touch, Erin." Angelica Rhodes said, leaving with Jade. But not before scoffing at Alexis.
"So much for my interview," Natalie said. "Back to you guys for the first Superstar Series match for the Queen's Crown"
"There is no lack of tension backstage right now." David Harkness comments.
"Angelica Rhodes just swooped in, revealed herself as the challenger for Fight Night 50 and completely disrespected Alexis Guerrero to her face. We call that a boss move in the streets." Evan Neal puts Angelica over, before the voice of our anonymous ring announcer is heard.
"The following contest is the first match in the Superstar Series for the Queens Crown Championship."
Aishiteyo, watashi wo daite yo ne, soba ni oideyo
Watashi no saigo no kioku ni kimi no ai wo nokoshitai
Polo to the floor though, you already know doe
It's Adamsville forreal, you see it hoe, just take a photo
"First, the woman who drew number one, representing the Triad, 'The Jade Princess' Mei Wu Long." The announcer says to a surprisingly louder than expected positive reaction mixed in with some decent boos (58/74)
"The baby of the Wu Long family is boujee, but she is also a little dangerous from what I have heard. We haven't seen much of her, but she is a heck of an athlete with very innovative holds in her arsenal." David Harkness puts over her moveset.
"She's also quick. I saw her at a club last night with some loser wearing a mask. I was about to go over and save her like the hero I am, before taking her to my place. But by the time I got to where she was, she was gone." Evan Neal said.
"That tends to happen more often than not to you." David Harkness pokes fun at him.
"All I'm saying is that the masked guy was lucky she left before I got to them. Because he would've been on the ground while she was all over the Neal Deal." Evan Neal claims with absolute seriousness.
Just stop, can't stop these static voices
Just noises to me
I'm done, I'm through with your toxic world
I watch it burn to ashes
"And her opponent. The young woman who drew number two, representing Hope, 'The Canadian Light' Eliza Bourne!" He announces to a pretty good reaction as well. (75/0)
"And here comes a burst of joy!" David Harkness says happily
"Oh god! She's so unbearable! Who smiles that much! You're about to wrestle not play patty cake!" Evan Neal complains.
"I do not believe match will resemble anything similar to patty cake. Both of these young women understand what is at stake. The winner will get to take their first step towards the Queen's Crown. Both of these girls- and I mean this with no disrespect- have been lower card wrestlers. This is their chance to move up in the pecking order. But only one of them will advance tonight!" David Harkness puts over the importance of this match for both women.
The bell rings as the crowd is mixed but relatively loud for the lower card acts (73/0). A sizable 'Mei' chant is heard as the two-step out of their respective corners to walk around the perimeter of the ring, not anywhere close to the other. Eliza looks at the crowd briefly upon hearing 'Mei' chants, which somehow causes a tiny 'Eliza' chant to break out. She claps and nods her head, happy to hear the support before turning her head back to Mei. The two women finally meet in the center of the ring and lock up! Mei has the height advantage, but Eliza does not let up. Eliza ends up dropping to one knee for a couple of seconds but quickly pops back up to her feet. The two women are still locked up. You can see Mei's reach advantage on display as her arms have caused Eliza's arms to slide down from Mei's shoulder toward the bicep area. This weak form on Eliza's part is due to Mei pushing her back while staying locked up with her. Eliza's lack of hold on Mei, opens up the opportunity for the youngest Wu Long, to switch her stance to behind Eliza, putting her in a waistlock. Eliza barely has two seconds to react, before Mei forces both of them down onto the mat in a sitting position while wrapping her legs around Eliza's waist in a Body Sisscors. Mei is quick to lean back before rolling over onto her stomach. This forces Eliza to be upside down with her feet kicking in the air and her shoulders pinned to the mat. The ref is about to count the pinfall, but Eliza is out before the one count.
Mei is quick to her feet and takes a few steps back, proud of herself, while Eliza slides back a few inches while on the ring mat, taking the lower ground, but not keeping her eyes off of Mei. Eliza gets to her feet as Mei is feeling herself after that. Then she feels a kick straight to the midsection from Eliza Bourne. Eliza runs off the ropes behind Mei, but Mei turns around. Mei dips down and attempts a sweep kick to trip up Eliza, but the Candian Light jumps over her foot and keeps running to the opposite set of ropes. Mei turns around and tries to walk forward towards Eliza, only for Eliza to catch her with a Running Dropkick! Mei falls to the mat, before getting back to her feet almost instantly….and she receives a second Running Dropkick that is much more effective in keeping her down. The crowd cheers for the fast sequence (75/0) as Eliza smiles while motioning with her hands for the crowd to get pumped up.
"Mei Wu Long may have gotten a little overconfident in the early minutes of this Superstar Series match." David Harkness says as Eliza Bourne plays to the crowd, to some cheers as Mei is on the floor, rubbing her face.
"Those two Dropkicks in a row were pretty good, but if we're being honest, Eliza has a long way before she even comes close to winning this match and possibly the Queen's Crown." Evan Neal chimes in.
Eliza walks back over to Mei as she is propping herself up off the ring mat with her arms. Eliza reached down, and grabbed her by the hair, picking her up off the mat and onto her feet. Mei pushes Eliza back, making her let go. Mei goes for a Roundhouse kick, but Eliza ducks under her foot and drops to the mat. Eliza reaches for Mei's foot, possibly trying to sweep it to trip her up. But before she can do whatever she's planning, Mei Wu Long cartwheels over her body to evade it and plants her on the side of the head and shoulder area with a dropkick! As the crowd applauds, Mei begins an attempt to slow Eliza down by sitting her up in the ring and then putting her in a Bodysiccors. Mei's legs are wrapped around the midsection of Eliza Bourne, trying to squeeze the air out of her with her thighs. Mei is using her arms to keep her body above the ring mat and also providing some leverage. Eliza has a look of pain as Mei squeezes around her midsection. The crowd eventually starts to clap, trying to will Eliza on. Upon the sound of the ACW fans's rally, Eliza begins to slide towards the ropes, forcing Mei to walk on her hands. Mei is desperately trying to keep her at bay. Seven feet from the ropes. She then gets five feet away. Mei's arms give out and she drops flat on her back but still has the Body Scissors in. Eliza moves a little closer after about 10 seconds of no movement as the clapping dies down. Then Mei lets go before she gets to the ropes and gets to her feet. Mei kicks Eliza right in between the Shoulder Blades! Eliza drops down from her seated position and back onto the mat before Mei goes for another pinfall. This time she gets a one count.
"That was a brilliant move by Mei Wu Long. She read the room and knew Eliza was about to get a rope break. Instead, she pivoted and delivered a strong kick to the back." David Harkness said.
"Beauty and brains. What a women!" Evan comments.
"Will you stop!" David Harkness shouts at him
Eliza Bourne is right underneath the bottom rope when Mei Wu Long decides to put the bottom of her white boots on Eliza's face and begin to put all her weight down on her, using the top rope for assistance. The crowd boos this, turning on her, as the ref administers the standard five count for a rope break. Mei lets go of the ropes and steps off Eliza's face, stepping back to the ref to check on Eliza as she clutches the side of her jaw, where most of the pressure was felt. The crowd tries to start an 'E-li-Za' chant (82/0) as she pulls herself to her feet. But Mei Wu Long is right there to grab her by the hair and drag her to the nearest corner to smash her face against the top turnbuckle to shut that down. Eliza slumps over the middle turnbuckle before Mei Wu Long picks her up and Irish whips her to the opposite turnbuckle. Eliza goes chest first into it. Eliza turns around, hurting. Sadly, that would only continue as Mei Wu Long would deliver a running sweep kick to make Eliza trip forward onto all fours, before delivering a Soccer Kick to the arm!
Eliza goes over to the ropes near the hard camera. Mei notices that the arm she just kicked is leaning against the middle ropes. So she then decides to deliver a second Soccer kick while it's against that rope. Eliza rolls out of the ring, holding her arm as Mei exits through the middle and bottom rope, keeping an eye on Eliza, who has her back to Mei. Eliza gets to her feet and Mei notices that the arm is now propped against the ring apron. Mei runs across, towards the middle apron, looking for a third Soccer Kick to the arm. Eliza sees it coming and moves her arm out of the way! Mei stops herself from hitting the steel post. She turns around to see Eliza Bourne is now on the ring apron as ten minutes officially have elapsed. Mei can't do anything quick enough as Eliza charges at her and jumps onto her shoulders. Eliza delivers a Hurricanrana that sends both women over the top rope and back into the ring. The place comes alive as Eliza gets to her feet first and hops over the top rope and back to the ring apron. Mei Wu Long is getting to her feet, less than a foot away. When she's in perfect position, Eliza delivers a Slingshot X-Factor! Eliza Bourne flips Mei onto her back.
"That might be what Eliza needed to advance!" David Harkness exclaims

Kick out!
"Looks like it wasn't what she needed." Evan Neal smugly mocks David's commentary.
Eliza lets out a deep sigh while sitting up and holding her hurt left arm. Eliza gets to her feet, being willed on by the Long Island crowd chanting her name. Eliza notices that Mei is also starting to get to her feet. Eliza puts her arms around the head and neck of Mei Wu Long, putting her in a three-quarter facelock position. Eliza points to the crowd, signaling for her signature Reach of the Sun (Standing Shiranui). She leaps backward for it, but Mei Wu Long escapes by pushing Eliza off behind her. Eliza Bourne lands on her feet behind Mei Wu Long, but the second she does, Mei meets her with a Roundhouse Kick to the head! Eliza goes down! Eliza is flat on her stomach. Mei drops down over Eliza's back, placing weight on it, before grabbing both her arms and placing Eliza in the Jaded Inferno (Double Scissored Fujiwara Arm Bar)! Eliza has no choice but to admit to submission!
"Here is your at 12:12 and advancing in the Superstar Series, Mei Wu Long!"
"After a terrific performance, it's lights out for Eliza Bourne as she submits to the Jaded Inferno. This means that Mei Wu Long will advance to next week's Superstar Series match against the debuting Yazmin Darma." David Harkness announces
"That Jaded Inferno had Eliza tapping seconds. If I was Yazmin Darma, I'd be looking out for that in the next match. Angelica Rhodes and her family have to be elated. Angelica is going to be the Womens World Champion and Mei could be the Queens Crown Champion." Evan says.
"So what happens in Wales when Mei Wu Long has to give up the Queens Crown for the World Championship match with Angelica?" David brings up to throw Evan off.
"You need to stop stirring the pot! We all know that Mei knows her place in the Triad!" Evan shouts at David.
"Well with that match completed, there is only one match left. The Main Event! Jason Sabre will defend the ACW World Heavyweight Championship against the ACW Cup Winner, Freddy Escobar right after this break!" David Harkness said before the light's go out. "What the…"
We cut to a scene on the tron. It opens it a dark area. Cait Murphy standing behind Casper Russo. Almost like she's a mannequin. She doesn't blink at all. Meanwhile, Casper Russo sits on a well furbished chair. He begins to speak.
"I'm watching you baby brother. My eyes are not only on you, but also on the alleged Queen of the South and her group. There's no doubt in my mind, that you have earned the scorn of that woman tonight in your pursuit of trying to get to me. All you had to do was wait until Chris and Rayleen defeated La Rebelion fairly. But patience isn't your strong suit, is it? So now, my group must suffer as La Rebelion will have a claim for the ACW Factions Championship. You made a mistake. Unfortunately that mistake will cost my people valuable time. They will now have to fight battles that they shouldn't have to fight. All because of you."
Casper shakes his head in disapproval.
"I will not fight you Ash. However, I have someone who wishes to fight you. Not on my behalf, but on the behalf of his friends, Chris and Rayleen, whom you harmed in your fruitless quest. Next week, you will have the opportunity to fight Nolan Garson. This will be considered a receipt to Vindiction for your actions tonight. Please. After next week. Do not continue this Ash."
He begs his little brother, but you can see the sinister warning behind his soft words.
"I do not wish you any harm."
And with those words, we cut to black, our main event is next!
(Ad Break)
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to ACW Fight Night 46. The Nassau Coliseum has been great all night long and we're hoping for the same thing, next week as ACW head to the DCU Center in Worchester, Massachusetts." David Harkness said as graphic begin to appear.
"It's a going to be a good card for our first time in Massachusetts. The Main event will feature Ash Russo taking on Nolan Garson! Also we will find out the next challenger for the ACW World Heavyweight Championship." Evan Neal announces.
"On top of that, the qualifying match for the Race Against Time continue as CJ Hawk battle a debuting Tate Williams. One man will have a chance to win the King's Crown. I wonder how CJ will fair as we heard Helmsley claim that he's going to make things tough for Hope." David Harkness said.
"I'm excited for Tate's debut. But there's another debut on the Queens Crown side of things. Mei Wu Long will take on Yazmin Darma to see who advances in the Superstar Series. And if that's not enough, then how about Deon Blade debuting with Ced to face off against Mason Rivers and Rey Pantera Jr." Evan Neal said
"Also on the card, we will see Yul Bannok fight Wei Wu Long in one on one action. ACW is back and Worchester better get ready for next weeks Fight Night." David Harkness hypes.
"David, I am being told that it is time for the main event! Freddy Escobar vs Jason Sabre. Freddy is the heavy underdog going into this match." Evan Neal said
"Do not count Freddy out just yet. Jason might be on the top of his game right now, but all it takes is one opportunity. I heard rumors of Freddy telling Detrick Cyrus to stay away because he wants a clean match and win fairly." David Harkness said.
"Commendable but stupid. I personally would love to see Jason Sabre knocked down a peg, but even I have to admit that it's easier said than done." Evan Neal said. "With that being said. There was a big rumor coming out of last nights press conference."
"I heard. I can't confirm or deny if they were true. But I do know that Jason has said that he is not focused on anyone else other than Freddy Escobar tonight. Ladies and gentlemen. It's been a long night, but we have finally reached the point where I can see…IT IS TIME FOR YOUR MAAAAAIIIIINNNNN EVENT!" David Harkness segues
Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
Keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart?
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
45 by Shinedown's opening notes sends the crowd up to their feet as Freddy Escobar steps out onto the stage. For the moment it's an insanely super pop (97/0) for the challenger. Freddy Escobar is wearing Red trunks with a gold broken crown on the back. He has kneepads and elbow pads as well. Freddy also has a long black trenchcoat that says '0% fear, 100% Drinking Beer'. Freddy, although not completely in his own head, is a bit apprehensive. There's no beer with him at this moment as he approaches the ring for his big match. Freddy forgets to taunt or interact with the crowd on his way down the ramp, possibly more focused on the match against a man he never beat instead of audience participation tonight. Freddy enters the ring and gets in the challengers corner, removing his jacket. His music fades as he hears the booming sounds of 'Go Ace!" reverbirate around the arena as he awaits the arrival of Jason Sabre.
Rain's falling down and just darkens the ground
A sound that I've heard before but I'm not sure
You keep me away from the place where you've been
But now I remember why you stay away from there
When you're falling to the ground
What do you see?
Your pride is going down with reality
You may try to stand up
But you'll realize your dreams are gone
The second the opening cords hit, the place become deafening (110/0) as a orange, dark blue and white lasers begin to flash on stage to matching lighting. Smoke rises from the sides and middle of the ramp as Jason Sabre emerges from the smoke, excited and full of energy. Jason has the ACW World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. He was wearing a dark blue (Main color), White (the colors of design) and Orange (the secondary color design) version of his Tanahashi-esque jacket and tights. Jason runs over to the left side of the ramp and then the right side, interacting with the audience, unlike Freddy. Jason comes back to the center of the ramp, watching a sold out attendance of 14,000 plus people on their feet. 'It's time to get another win', Jason says to the camera as he makes his way down the ramp. Slapping hands as people rush towards the front to interact with Jason. Jason gets on the ring apron, before walking over to the turnbuckles. The spotlight is now on Jason as the arena lights dim while he scales to the second turnbuckle from the outside. With his right foot on the top turnbuckle, he unstraps his belt with his left hand and raises his while doing a finger gun pose towards Freddy with his right. Freddy is focused on Jason. Jason gets in the ring by climbing down the other side of the turnbuckles. Jason removes his jacket and hands the belt to the referee. The music fades out as the spotlight is on the ring and ring only for our introductions.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to the main event of ACW Fight Night 46. The following contest is a traditional match, set for one fall. This match will be for the ACW World Heavyweight Championship!"
It is a hot crowd as the announcer continues after a brief pause.
"First, the challenger. He stands tonight at Six feet tall. He weighs in tonight at a grand total of 237 pounds. He hails from El Paso, Texas and at Final Destination 3, he earned this match by winning the ACW Cup. I present to you, a former Prince seeking redemption against a man he never beat. A man who is coming into this contest with the whole world against him. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, "Mr. 2:12" Freddy Escobar!"
There's a good amount of cheering, but you can clearly hear Jason loyalists in the crowd tonight attempting to boo Freddy Escobar. (90/33)
"Now his opponent. The Champion of 51 days. He hails from Los Angeles California. Tonight he weighed in at 239 pounds. He stands at Six feet and one inch. He comes into this match, making his second title defense. He has won his last 12 traditional matches. Ladies and gentlemen, this man is considered the favorite in any match he is in. A man that has earned himself the position as the face of this company and industry that we all hold dear to our hear. Ladies and Gentlemen! Please welcome the fourth ACW World Heavyweight Champion. This is 'The Ace of Professional Wrestling' Jason Sabre!"
The ring announcer announces as he gives a wink and finger to the camera on his close up as the place is going wild for the champ (104/0). A few moments pass as the referee raises the ACW World Heavyweight Championship. Both men are in their respective corners waiting for the bell to ring.
The bell rings as the crowd is hot as hell for the first main event of the season. Freddy Escobar steps out of the corner walking toward the middle of the ring. Meanwhile, Jason doesn't follow in suit, instead using the top rope to pull on and stretch out his arms. Freddy stops at the midpoint of the ring as Jason is still in the corner, loosening himself up, not moving toward the middle of the ring. "You're on the Ace's time. Your ass can wait" Jason says to Freddy, who puts his hands on his hips, a little annoyed by Jason Sabre's antics. The Ace finally takes one step forward to a big pop, before shaking his head no and leaving the ring. Freddy yells 'get the hell back in here!' at him, walking towards the ropes. Sabre isn't going to follow orders from Freddy, deciding instead to high-five a young fan and give a hug to another child in the front row, endearing himself to Long Island, but not his opponent in the ring. Freddy backs away from the ropes audibly yelling at Jason to get his ass in the ring, feeling insulted at this stalling. The Ace looks at some guy in a Jason Sabre T-Shirt and tells him to get in the ring. The fan plays along and takes his shirt off, not having the physique of Jason or Freddy and security has to stop him from actually jumping the guardrail.
"Will Jason Sabre quit giggledicking around!" Evan Neal shouts.
"Giggledicking?" The flabbergasted David Harkness repeats as Jason slaps some hands while the ref has joined Freddy in yelling at Jason Sabre over not getting in the ring and starting the damn match.
"How is this showing that he's the best in the world?" Evan rightfully questions as Jason walks by, grinning at his comment, almost as if he knows what he's doing.
"If there's one thing I know about Jason. It's that everything he does in a match matters." David Harkness says.
'We got all night.' Jason says. 'They told me that the show doesn't end until the match is over.' Jason slaps some more hands, taking a lap as Freddy paces around in the ring, his patience gone from Jason's antics. The crowd encouraged him with chants of 'Go Ace'. Jason claps twice with the crowd before they repeat the chant. Over and over, they do this. Freddy has had enough of the playing around and makes his way out of the ring to catch Jason. And as a result, he is lured into Sabre's trap. The second a foot touches the ring apron, Jason's hand sweeps it, causing Freddy to trip and land back first on the ring apron. Jason then starts to lay into Freddy with a series of right hands as he's on the ring apron, before pulling Mr. 2:12 off of the ring apron, and standing him up. Jason then hooks Freddy's arm around his head and lifts him up, before dropping him with a back suplex onto the edge of the ring apron.
"Like I said, everything he does matters." David Harkness reminds everyone as Freddy's lower back drops against the thinly covered metal part of the apron. Freddy falls to the floor, dropping to both knees before Jason chops him right in the lower back. Freddy screeches as Sabre chops him again in the lower back for good measure, before pulling him up and rolling him back into the ring. Jason gets on the ring apron, before entering the ring himself, kicking Freddy in the lower part of his back as he tries to pull himself up. Jason then reaches down and grabs Freddy by the hair to drag him up. Jason pushes Freddy into the nearby corner, causing him to hit his chest in the corner. Jason Sabre then delivers another chop to the lower back of Freddy Escobar. The camera gets a close-up of Freddy Escobar's back where we see that the chops have cut skin on the former 'Princes' back. Jason winds his arm back and delivers yet another chop to the lower back. Freddy winces as do some fans in the audience. Freddy turns around, but Jason is right there to deliver another knife edge chop to him!
Jason then Irish Whips Freddy to the opposite corner. Freddy hits his back against the corner, before walking out, gingerly walking forward into the best Dropkick in the Business! Jason gets to his feet as the crowd is behind him with chants of 'Jason Sabre'. The World Champion is grinning ear to ear as he walks around the ring, so he can be at a spot where he's behind Freddy when he stands up. Jason chops Freddy in the lower back! Freddy grabs his lower back, before Jason turns him around and throws him toward the corner. Freddy runs into the turnbuckle as Sabre walks over to the opposite corner. Jason runs toward Freddy, but Escobar quickly lifts Sabre in the air with both his hands and dumps him over the turnbuckle. The Ace is able to shift position in the air as Freddy lets go of him, landing to the side of the turnbuckle and post, on the ring apron. Freddy turns around, but Jason goes for a right. Freddy ducks underneath Sabre's hand, before jabbing Jason in the face. Freddy then runs off the ropes, before trying to boot Jason off the ring apron. Sabre, drops down to the ring apron while pulling down the top rope. Freddy falls over the ropes onto the ring apron. Jason and Freddy both get to their feet. Freddy and Jason start to go at it with rights and lefts right to their head as Long Island is on their feet for a fight.
"It's looking like it's Fight Night!" David Harkness calls as Jason starts to get the edge dropping Freddy to a knee. Jason backs off. Jason then runs toward Freddy, but Escobar leaps over his head. Jason turns around into a Superkick that sends Jason falling over the middle rope and back into the ring.
"Freddy just turned the match into his favor…Why are you scaling the turnbuckles? Get in the ring!" Evan calls as Freddy starts to climb up to the top turnbuckle as Jason is laid out, not too far from him.
Freddy is standing on the top turnbuckle with his back to what's going on inside of the ring. The crowd is on their feet. Freddy flies backward going for a Moonsault! Jason rolls away, but Freddy Escobar lands on his feet. Jason gets to his feet, but eats Checkmate (Bicycle Knee Strike) once he gets there! Freddy refused to let Sabre have a chance to take advantage of his miss. Freddy drops down as soon as possible and hooks the leg.

Jason gets his shoulder up at 2.5. The crowd claps as Freddy gets to his feet, delivering a series of stomps to Jason, before dropping back down and grabbing the Ace by his hair. Freddy delivers a few rights straight to Jason's head, before getting back on his feet and slapping his chest as the crowd delivers a mostly negative reaction, although some cheers were heard. Jason gets to all fours, but Freddy kneels, putting Jason in a hammerlock, while Jason attempts to get up. Jason gets to a single knee, before swinging his free arm back, catching Freddy in the stomach with an elbow. He does two more, causing Freddy to loosen his grip. Jason starts to get his feet, but Freddy delivers a forearm to the back of Sabre with his free arm. Jason falls flat on his front. Freddy then lets go of his Hammerlock and turns Sabre around, before plucking him off the ring mat. Freddy is going for a Tilt a Whirl, but Jason gets out of it after one rotation and lands on his feet. Jason delivers a European Uppercut that causes Freddy to reel back. Ten minutes have elapsed. Jason then runs off the set of ropes behind him to build momentum to deliver a Slingblade!
'Go Ace'! *clap clap* "Go Ace!" goes Long Island as Sabre pumps himself up. Freddy starts to get to his feet, before eating a forearm smash to the face. Freddy backs up a little but comes right back with his of own one. Jason backs up but then catches Freddy with a kick to the gut. Jason then turns around before delivering a Pele Kick, his foot catching Freddy on top of the head. Freddy goes down. Jason Sabre gets to his feet and gets onto the ring apron, before making his way to start scaling the turnbuckles. But Freddy was getting to his feet already. Sabre reaches the top turnbuckle while Freddy reaches his feet. Jason jumps off, going for the Final Hour (High Fly Flow) on the standing Freddy. It connects but Jason rolls off Freddy's body after both hit the ground. Jason backs into a corner and prepares his gun taunt. Freddy takes his time, slowly pushing himself up to a knee. Jason pretends to fire the gun and runs at Freddy, going for the Final Resolution (Kinsasha). Freddy gets caught right on the side of the head with Jason's kneecap! Freddy is down as Sabre slides an inch or two ahead as a result of the move's momentum. Jason quickly crawls over to Freddy, hooking one of his legs.

Freddy kicks out!
"It wasn't enough! Freddy Escobar is not going down! Sabre looks like he's taking this match seriously now, that arrogant jerk." Evan Neal criticizes him while Sabre looks up at the ref to confirm the count.
"If I know Jason, he already knows what he's going to do next. Freddy survived Final Resolution, but can he turn the momentum in his favor?" David Harkness questions as "Let's Go Sabre' battles "Let's go Freddy".
In the middle of this serenade of dueling chants, Jason Sabre is hunched over, watching a few inches away from Freddy. He watches as Freddy attempts to get to his feet, his head rocking after Final Resolution. Freddy struggles as his equilibrium is off so he can't stand straight. Freddy's wobbly self doesn't know what's behind him. And that happens to be Jason Sabre waiting to strike. Sabre reaches over and grabs the wrist of Freddy. Sabre is going for the Final Strike (Rainmaker)! He does the ripcord and pulls Freddy in, but Escobar barely ducks his arm. Sabre accidentally lets Freddy go and turns around into Checkmate! Jason lands flat on his back as Freddy falls to the side of his body. Nassau Coliseum starts to chant "A-C-W" in respect (99/0). But that soon changed to boos (0/99)…
"Why is Detrick Cyrus here?! You lost at Final Destination 3! This is Freddy's Championship match! Where in the bloody is security to get him out of here?! Jason already beat him!" David Harkness roars in rage as The Ultimate Hope comes down the ramp.
"Jason isn't the real World Champion. Detrick should've won that match by disqualification. The least that we can do is let this poor victim out here to remind the world that he deserves a rematch if not a complete reversal of decision from Final Destination 3." Evan Neal argues
"Evan, you and I both know that Detrick Cyrus did not qualify for a Championship rematch. He has no reason to be here, right now, even if he is campaigning for a World Title match. Besides that, literally no one breathing wants him out here." David Harkness says as Detrick walks around the ring to the timekeeper's area.
"Go Away Detrick!" booms across Long Island as Cyrus stops in front of the table where the ACW World Heavyweight Championship sits on its pedestal. Detrick puts his hands on the World Heavyweight Championship, pulling it towards him. In the ring, Freddy is sitting up at this point. Maybe it was the negative energy of the crowd, but he directed his head to Detrick, not knowing what his brother was doing. Detrick turns to his brother, walking towards the ring. The referee starts to yell at Detrick to go backstage. Detrick ignores him, staring his brother in the face from the floor with the World Championship that he lost, across his shoulders. Detrick tells Freddy. "You're winning this Championship tonight." while patting the title. "This is ours!"
"Go backstage Detrick. This isn't your match!" Freddy says to his brother, getting to his feet, and looking out to him. "I'm here to support you. Quit being ungrateful." Detrick screams, outraged at his brother's request. Freddy decides to walk away from his brother and turns around, walking two steps forward into a Rolling Kick from Jason Sabre! Jason looks over at Detrick with his Championship but doesn't bother to give him much more acknowledgment, instead picking Freddy up and Irish Whipping him towards the ropes, farthest from Detrick. Jason catches Freddy on the rebound with the Slingblade! " Come on Freddy!" cheers Detrick (albeit condescendingly). Jason starts to climb up the top turnbuckle as we quickly cut back to Cyrus looking at his brother being down and Jason on the top turnbuckle. Detrick can see the doom incoming for his brother. Jason soars through the sky with another Final Hour!
"What the hell!?" David Harkness as the ACW World Championship lands on the chest of Freddy Escobar. Jason's torso lands right on the Golden Plate of the title!
"Detrick just tossed the World Championship on top of Freddy!" Evan Neal says as Jason rolls away from Freddy, holding his rib. The referee, Jonathan Cone, immediately goes to Detrick Cyrus and leaves the ring, yelling at him.
"You didn't see me fling that title in! Anyone could've done it!" Detrick Cyrus says.
"You're done. This is a World Championship match. You're out of here!" Cone yells at Detrick, before waving his hands. Suddenly, several security guards come up from behind Detrick. Long Island goes crazy as the red watches the security team grab Detrick by the arms and start to force him up the ramp. The crowd sings 'Na Na Na Na Na Na Hey hey Hey. Goooodddbyyyee!" (0/101) as Detrick is forced to walk up the ramp.
"Finally! Get him out of here! He's ruining the main event!" David Harkness screams.
"David! Look in the ring! Look at Freddy!" Evan turns his attention to the match
As our ref is distracted by Detrick being led backstage while the former Champion argues with him, the attention suddenly goes back to where it should be. The ring. The ring where Freddy Escobar is on his feet with the ACW World Heavyweight Championship in both of his hands. The crowd starts to boo with some begin to chant 'No' as Freddy looks at the Championship while watching Jason Sabre start to get up holding his ribcage.
"Is Freddy about to live up to his family name?" Evan Neal questions as temptation is clearly in his eyes!
"No, he's not!" David Harkness said as Freddy drops the belt to a massive pop (97/0). "Freddy's temptation does not trump his morality."
"Since when did Freddy have that?!" Evan Neal responds,
Freddy instead charges at Jason as he's bent over and goes for 2:12 (Curb Stomp)! He connects! We cut to Detrick finally leaving, but not without seeing a smile on his face. Our ref turns turns around and begins to sprint down the ramp as Freddy Escobar hooks the leg! He waits…and waits…. The ref slides under the bottom rope! He starts to count the pin.

Jason Sabre barely kicks out! Freddy is crushed! The thought of how he should be the new World Champion overcomes him as he sits up on both knees. His face sank. This gives Jason a chance to slide away from Freddy. Freddy Escobar starts to get to his feet as Sabre is trying to pull himself up, using the ropes. Jason's eyes tell the story of someone who has just had their head stomped in. Unaware of what is only a few feet away from him. Jason is trying to regain himself but is spun around by Escobar, getting caught with a right hook to the jaw. Jason is up against the ropes. Freddy backs up so he can build momentum when he charges forward. Jason lifts his foot up into the air. Freddy runs face-first into it. Freddy Escobar turns around, holding his face as Sabre wakes up a little bit for when Freddy turns around. The Ace chops Escobar! He follows with a second one and then a third one, backing Escobar towards the middle of the ring. Jason kicks Freddy in the midsection. Jason hooks Freddy up for what looks to be a Suplex. He lifts him up, but Escobar drops behind Jason on his feet, with the Ace in a Reverse three-quarters Facelock. He lifts Jason off his feet for an Inverted Suplex, but Jason lands on his feet! Jason chops Freddy in the lower back again. Freddy winces, before Sabre connects with a Headlock Backbreaker!
"Freddy is down! Sabre is up!" David Harkness states.
"And he's trying to climb up the top turnbuckle again!" Evan Neal says as Sabre scales to the top, slower than he usually moves.
But Sabre gets hit in the midsection with a right hand once he is on the top turnbuckle. Freddy is up. Freddy pulls Sabre's head down a little, so he can deliver two more strikes to the top of the head before he starts to climb up to the middle turnbuckle. Twenty minutes have elapsed. Sabre chops him across the chest, causing Freddy to fall back. But he hangs on tight to the ropes before he meets a cruel fate. Freddy swings another right, catching Jason over the head. This move helps give him enough time to get to the turnbuckle and starts to hook Jason up for a superplex. Freddy tries to pull Jason, up into the air, but audibly groans loudly, before letting go and wincing in pain. He couldn't lift Sabre! Freddy grabs his back, not being able to lift Sabre because of it. Jason takes advantage and slips off of the top turnbuckle, between Freddy's legs. Jason grabs Freddy's left foot and sweeps it, taking him off the turnbuckles and falling right into a Final Blow (RKO)! Freddy lands head and neck first with legs and back curving to resemble a human scorpion. The crowd chants 'Holy Shit!' as Jason rolls Freddy onto his back and hooks a leg.
"I think Freddy just had the worst type of replayable moment." Evan Neal comments.

"Wait a minute, look at his leg!" Evan Neal points out Freddy Escobar's foot is turned to the side. As a result, it's looking like the tip of his shoes are touching the ropes.
…..
3!
"Here is your winner 21:24 and still the ACW World Heavyweight Champion, Jason Sabre!"
"The ref didn't notice! Jason Sabre has retained the ACW World Heavyweight Championship. In fact, was Freddy's foot even touching the bottom rope?!" David Harkness said as the crowd pops loudly as Weight of my Pride begins to play. He feels like only the commentators notices as Sabre pats Freddy on the chest, before getting to his feet.
"I can't believe Jason Sabre, not only cheated against Detrick, but also his brother. Freddy Escobar had the match won earlier and there was a rope break right there." Evan Neal jumps on the Anti-Sabre rhetoric as we see replays of what he's talking about.
"The angle of the tip of the boot makes it look like it's touching the ropes, but maybe it wasn't. It also doesn't seem like Sabre knew about it." David Harkness says as we replay the final moments of the match, including the Final Blow and pinfall, before cutting back to Jason Sabre being handed his ACW World Heavyweight Championship.
"All I'm saying is that Jason didn't have a clean victory tonight." Evan Neal puts out there as Freddy is now on the floor as his face displays a solemn realization that he lost the title match tonight.
"Freddy Escobar could be World Champion right now, but his brother's interference in the match and attempt to 'help' Freddy, was the issue." David Harkness shifts the blame to Detrick Cyrus.
"Of course, it's Detrick's fault." You could hear Evan Neal's sarcasm from a mile away as Jason Sabre stands on the top turnbuckle raising the World title with one hand and doing his finger gun taunt with the other.
"Well as we can tonight with some controversy. I want to thank everyone for joining us tonight. Good night and we'll see you at the next fight!" David Harkness ends the show as we fade away on Jason Sabre posing in the ring with his title
But wait viewers…. There's more
Dublin, Ireland
We cut to a bar where a bunch of people are celebrating as the sounds of Weight of My Pride by Pay Money To My Pain can be heard coming from a television off screen. The camera pulls back to reveal Flynn Horde watching from a bar. He has a smile on his face watching everyone celebrate
Until he notices someone in the crowd
Giselle…
She stands in the middle of everyone, looking right at Flynn Horde. People celebrating, dancing and drinking around her. They don't the dark aura or look give her any mind. Almost like she's a ghost that only Flynn could see.
