HL:  “Our next match is a Four Way Elimination Match for the World Women's Title!  Elimination must be made via submission or pinfall within the ring and the match will continue until there is one winner!”

 

::The opening drums of "Discipline" by Nine Inch Nails start up as the lights go down and the blue and neon green strobes illuminate the fog that begins pouring in. A quick flash of white strobe momentarily blinds all vision for a brief moment and once it clears Tee is standing in front of the curtain, arms raised wide and head tilted back as if in defiance to the world in general. After a few seconds she confidently stalks down to the ring, randomly pointing at nearby members of the crowd and making various decidedly unladylike gestures.::

 

HL:  “Introducing first at a height of 5'10” and weighing in at 146 pounds from Erie, PA she is TEE VOLAND!”

 

"Am I
Am I still tough enough?
Feels like I'm wearing down, down, down, down, down
Is my viciousness
Losing ground, ground, ground, ground ground?
Am I taking too much
Did I cross a line, line, line?"

 

RJ: “Tee Voland seems to have surely stepped up quickly in ACW, but there are some that say she's simply not yet ready.”

 

MS:  “Funny you'd say that as your favorite little wrestler Aurora seemed pretty clear that she'd hand picked Tee as someone she thought could go the distance.”

 

::Reaching the ring, Tee takes her time mounting the stairs.::

 

"I need my role in this
Very clearly defined."

 

::Stepping between the top and middle ropes, she slowly turns as she crosses the ring to climb the opposite post as the chorus kicks in to taunt the crowd before doing a backflip from the second turnbuckle at the last line.::

 

RJ:  “Hand picked or not, I have to admit that despite her propensity for antagonism the crowds. Tee certainly has a flair for violence.”

 

MS:  “That's about the most intelligent thing you've said all night Robbie.”

 

"I need your discipline
I need your help
I need your discipline
You know once I start I cannot help myself."

 

::Her pleated black skirt moved around her legs as she stuck the landing of that backflip perfectly, her blue eyes blazing as she moved to clear the ring for the next woman to arrive to the ring.::

 

HL:  “Our next competitor is now approaching the ring is a former ACW Women's Champion...”

 

::The arena blackens to the first guitar rifts of “Brackish” by Kittie. The strobes light the arena with each passing incline of notes in the rifts and clangs of the symbols. Images of the female wrestler played along the ACW-Tron of her various matches, the last being her battle with Kelsia for the title. Her name flashed. A growl from the lead singer begins the quick tempo song and was the signal for the pyrotechnics to blast illuminating Alexa as her arms raised up to the ceiling. Alexa stood there, her shorter golden brown waves reached just below her shoulder blades. Her upper strands that frames her face swooped back into a ponytail as the rest fell free. A long sleeve, V neck, black mesh top fit snug around her bosom, which was covered in an tight emerald thick strapped bikini top. The mesh material stopped around an inch under the emerald material to show off the newly formed ridges of her abdomen to her waist. Emerald straps, fitted along her hips, peeked over the low rise black shorts which stopped under the cup of her bottom. Smooth muscle bound thighs stood bare, the swell of her calves well hidden by the black combat style wrestling boots. Between the black materials shown the ridges and toned muscles of her abdomen.::

 

HL:  “Standing at 5'8” and weighing in at 166 pounds she hails from Danbury, CT...ALEXA ROSE!”

 

“She is not scared to die….
The best things in life drive her to cry.
Crucify then learn!”

 

RJ:  “Alexa seems to have gotten an infusion of strength this week, she looks confident and ready to fight!”

 

MS:  “She is the strongest woman on the ACW roster, but I wonder if she can really back up the things she said this week.”

 

::Alexa took a moment to motion for everyone to rock out with her. She made her way down the ramp with a smile, interacting with the fans all the way down as they were on their feet in appreciation. She offered high fives and an occasional hug to a child fan. About half way down the ramp she took off to the ring. Sliding in under the bottom rope she was to her knees.::

 

“Sit and watch me burn..
I'll take you down, and show you deep inside,
my life, my inner workin’…”

 

RJ:  “I'm going to guess her challenge to Tee Voland about the Twilight?”

 

MS:  “Bingo, Robbie-o.  That's a pretty bold contention that she can survive the move slapped on by someone taught at the source.”

 

::Now up to her feet she made her way to each turnbuckle. Raising her hands and motioning to the crowd, clapping her hands for them on each ring post. Hopping out of her last corner she smiled, she raised her arms to the crowd before hoping down to the middle of the ring. The smile faded slightly as Alexa too cleared the ring momentarily::

 

HL:  “Introducing our third and final challenger...”

 

::For a moment there is silence, then what sounds like a static hiss before the first swell of her first theme with ACW comes up. The lights dim except for two strong white lights towards the ACW-Tron, and the bass line of her theme has obviously been augmented to seem more like an arena-wide heartbeat, a pulse of energy to flow across the audience.::

 

"We kiss...the stars.
We writhe..."

 

HL: “Now entering the ring from Dayton, OH, wrestling out of Asheville, NC...standing 5'8" and weighing in at 145 pounds, she is also a former ACW Women's Champion...the Ghost...Aurora Jansen!”

 

::Aurora Jansen appears at the top of the ramp, and the vid behind her on the tron shows several of her more high impact spots and counters along with all of her finishers on display, ending with the Killswitch. Pure white crisp strobes flash over her, lighting her up from her boots to the hood of her ring jacket.  A soft voice breaks through the music, the breathy whisper of Aurora Jansen.::

 

Voice: "We are..."

 

::The white lights on the ACW-Tron go black, and for a moment there is silence again, then the music swells up louder than before on the down beat of the chorus, when the word "Cold" is sung she then sprints towards the ring, her hands up to sweep back the white hood and revealing her long black hair in a tight pony-tail which streamed behind her as she ran towards the ring.::

 

"Cold, we're so cold.
We are...so cold, we're so cold.
Cold, we're so cold.
We are...so cold, we're so cold."

 

RJ:  “She wasn't kidding when she said she was going to do it, Aurora with her old music, as the Ghost.”

 

MS:  “I'm actually excited, do you think this heralds a return to Aurora's darker side?”

 

::When she hits the ring apron she jumps to grab the middle rope, using her momentum to bring her right up on the apron and then she turns to face the ramp, arms going up over her head. A slow backflip into the ring and she slips out of the jacket and flings it at one of the ring-handlers, moving to the center of the ring she strikes a classic strong-man style pose to show off her toned arms, the white strobes lighting up above her to wash over her once more.::

 

RJ:  “What...?  That's...that's just crazy talk Mitchell.”

 

MS:  “The argument can be made that Aurora was far more effective in the ring under that darker persona of the Ghost than she has been as the Valkyrie, Robbie, your crush on her or not.”

 

::Aurora took a few moments to acknowledge the fans who are there for her, especially children or people with signs made to support her before turning her attention to the referee, and joining Alexa and Tee to the side to await on Kelsia.::

 

HL:  “Our final opponent in this match is the current World Women's Champion...”

 

::The lights dim and pyrotechnic explosions burst, sending the crowd into a frenzy as the classic Judas Priest song “You've Got Another Thing Coming” begins to play over the arena’s PA System. Kelsia Vector comes walking from behind the curtain and the fans begin to boo immediately, though not quite all of them. More than a few cheers were in the mix as the black-and-white clad woman comes to stand in the middle of the stage for a moment before making her way down the ramp. That World Women's Championship title around her waist proudly.::

 

HL:  “Standing at 5'6” tall and weighing in at 130 pounds, hailing from Philadelphia, PA she is... KELSIA VECTOR!”

 

“One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight I said I'll never get enough
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud

 

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'!”

 

RJ:  “Someone better check her boots, this wily woman has been known to take any advantage she can, and she's proven she will do so!”

 

MS:  “Hey there's nothing wrong with how Hot Chocolate does things!  She's proven that in my eyes!”

 

::Kelsia casts her eyes from side to side, offering smirking expressions to her detractors an incline of the head towards the few that sung her praises, pausing half-way to the ring to soak in more of the reactions.::

 

“That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks!”

 

::Kelsia walks to the apron and pulls herself up onto it via the middle rope. Posing briefly just to get a rise out of the crowd, she hooks her arms around the top rope and flips gracefully back into the ring, taking a moment to toss her head back, clearing her hair out of the way. Stepping towards the corner and turnbuckles, she climbs up onto the middle rope and takes one last look at the audience as she takes her title from around her waist and raises it into the air.::

 

RJ:  “You amaze me Mitchell, really.  Kelsia is a strong competitor, but if she continues to cheat to win, the only thing she'll prove is that she knows how to cheat!”

 

MS:  “You say cheat, I say: Tactics of a Winner, Robbie.  That's the difference between you and me, I see how things really are!”

 

“Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah"

 

::Jumping down she stood there waiting for the match to get underway, after handing the title to the referee...::

::The bell rings and all four women square off in the ring, looks flicking back and forth from one opponent to the next. Alexa Rose breaks the standoff by going straight for Tee Voland, but the upstart slips aside from Alexa's attempted lockup and quickly transitions it into an arm drag, pulling the Amazon down to the mat. Tee immediately tries to follow up with a quick leg drop but Alexa rolls out of the way and springs back to her feet. Meanwhile Aurora and Kelsia lock up on the other side of the ring, Aurora making the best of her slight height and weight advantage to push the defending champion back towards a corner only to have Kelsia reverse the momentum and swing Aurora into the turnbuckles instead. Kelsia immediately lights up Jansen's chest with a pair of backhand chops but Aurora ducks under a third chop and answers back with a European uppercut that knocks the champion back on her heels and buys Aurora some breathing room.::

MS: “And the ladies of ACW not wasting any time getting down to business! I love this job!”

RJ: “Really?”

MS: “Except for my partner, Robbie, he's annoying.”

RJ: “You know, the same thing goes for me too.”

::Alexa comes at Tee with a short arm clothesline as soon as both women regain their vertical bases, but the spiky haired woman ducks and whips around with a spinning heel kick which Alexa turns and sees just in time to duck away from. Quickly stepping in before the younger Voland can fully regain her balance, Alexa grabs Tee around the torso and heaves her over backwards with a release belly to belly suplex that lands her on her back several feet behind the Amazon.::

RJ: “Alexa Rose demonstrating her power on the upstart Tee Voland.”

MS: “Bah, lucky shot Robbie, I'm sure Tee's just letting her think she has an advantage. But look at Hot Chocolate!”

::Meanwhile, across the ring, Aurora has gone for a lockup with Kelsia again but Kelsia decided instead to step in and drive a knee into Aurora's stomach, then slip around her and reach down to apply a rear naked choke, roughly pulling Aurora upright and back once the hold is locked in. Aurora fights to break free, twisting side to side and throwing reverse elbow strikes into Kelsia's sides. Before she can break free, however, Kelsia turns half sideways and drops to one knee to yank Aurora down into a hard back breaker, releasing the hold as she does so.::

MS: “That's what I'm talking about! Show 'em why you're the champion, Kelsia!”

::Meanwhile, Alexa and Tee are busy on the other side of the ring. Both have regained their feet and come in trading swings with each other, Alexa's backhand chops being answered with big wide roundhouse rights from Tee. Alexa gets the better of the back and forth, with Tee stumbling back a few steps after a few exchanges, and Alexa moves in to go for a hold but Tee dodges and hits a quick drop toe hold, planting the Amazon face first into the mat. Tee wastes no time in clamoring over and on top of Alexa's back, shooting her arm forward to apply a half nelson on the former champion and reaching her other arm around for a choke hold, but Alexa catches her wrist and rolls up to her knees with the snarling Tee still holding on to the back of her head and struggling to free her other arm. Tee gets her feet under her and stands up, leaning forward to push Alexa's head down but Alexa reaches back with her arm caught in the half nelson hold and manages to grab the back of Tee's neck and, leaning forward, flips her over her shoulders and slams her onto her back on the mat in front of her.::

RJ: “Tee's aggressiveness gets the better of her there as she overbalanced and allowed Alexa Rose to use her power game again.”

:: Back on the other side of the ring, Kelsia pulls Aurora back to her feet and quickly scooped her up into a body slam that sent her right back down to the mat. Kelsia picks her up again but this time Aurora shoves her back as she stands and fires off a quick kick to the champion's side, then another in the same exact place, followed by a third, straight kick to the stomach that doubles her over. Aurora steps in close and executes a swinging neck breaker, dropping them both to the mat.::

::Meanwhile, Alexa underhooks Tee's arms from behind as the other woman sits up, and heaves her up to her feet and drops her arms to lock around her waist and throw her up and over with a bridging German Suplex that slams her shoulders into the mat at a near vertical angle. Alexa maintains the hold and keeps Tee's shoulders pressed to the mat, and the referee drops to make the count.::

ONE...TW-

RJ: “Short two count for Alexa Rose before Tee kicks out!”

MS: “It'll take more than that to put down Tee Voland, Robbie!”

::Back on the other side of the ring, Aurora is slow to get up, still shaking off the effects of Kelsia's assault, but does get up before the champion and goes for a front facelock as soon as Kelsia begins to rise. Kelsia slips out of the hold and connects with a quick uppercut that rocks Aurora back a bit and then moves in and grabs her arm to whip her into the ropes but Jansen counters the whip and swings Kelsia around three quarters of a full circle to send her careening directly towards Alexa and Tee, whom are now back up and again tying up. Tee sees Kelsia coming and twists out of the Amazons grip and drops down to her hands and knees beside Alexa just as a shout from Kelsia draws Alexa's attention to the onrushing Hot Chocolate, but not in time to react to avoid or counter the diving clothesline that sends the Amazon toppling over backwards with her legs tripped up by Tee. Kelsia follows through with her momentum and catches herself on the ropes, and Tee stands up just in time to see Aurora coming in behind with a running dropkick that knocks Voland right back down to the mat.::

MS: “Now that's reflexes for Kelsia and Tee!”

RJ: “Unfortunately, Tee's reflexes weren't quite fast enough to dodge Aurora!”

::Kelsia switches her attention to the downed Alexa, pulling her up to her knees and laying into her with a series of forearm smashes. Alexa partially blocks a few, but is still dazed from the impact of the double team clothesline to prevent Kelsia from stepping around behind her and applying a camel clutch, pressing a knee in between Alexa's shoulder blades for extra leverage. Alexa struggles against the hold but doesn't seem about to break it just yet. The referee leans in and asks if she wants to give up and is answered with a loud snarl that is clearly a negative response as she struggles against the hold. After a few moments Alexa manages to pull her feet beneath her and stand up, turning into Kelsia and slipping out of the hold and shoving her back into the near corner. Kelsia slams an elbow into Alexa's back but that doesn't stop the Amazon from grabbing the ropes to either side of the corner and slamming a hard shoulder thrust into the champion's stomach, then a second, then a third.::

RJ: “And the combatants have switched around in this match and Alexa Rose is taking it to the defending champion!”

MS: “And Aurora and Tee look like they're picking up right where they left off in their last confrontation a month and a half ago!”

::Tee has regained her vertical base and tied up with Aurora. Both women are similarly matched physically, and the struggle goes back and forth several times before Tee manages to use her slight height advantage to leverage Aurora around into a hammerlock. Tee torques the hold and starts to shove the Ghost towards the corner, but Auroratwists out of the hold and reverses it, locking Tee's arm behind her back instead. Unwilling to accept this situation, the younger Voland sibling works her legs in quick short steps to push Aurora backwards into the corner. The impact succeeds in making Aurora release her hold on Tee's arm, but she quickly pushes forward and past her antagonist, grabbing the back of Tee's head along the way and bringing her down face first to the mat with a running bulldog. Aurora quickly recovers and picks Tee up and delivers a quick kick to the stomach before shoving Tee's head between her own legs and reaching down around her torso to heave the other woman up onto her shoulders. The move doesn't quite go as planned, however, as Tee leans in hard into the move, throwing Aurora's balance off for a moment and causing her to briefly stagger and lose her grip on her elevated opponent. With a shriek of rage, triumph, or possibly both, Tee leans hard back and to the side, throwing her weight around with a tilt-a-whirl head scissors that sends Auroratumbling away and flipping forward and hard onto her back.::

MS: “Big counter by Tee! Mike's not the only Voland that can fly!”

RJ: “Impressive move indeed, but can she capitalize?”

MS: “She's going up high!”

::Tee wastes no time kipping up to her feet and going straight for the corner, climbing up to the top turnbuckle and shooting off a pair of upraised middle fingers to the crowd before launching herself forward into a three sixty somersault cannonball knee drop onto Aurora.::

MS: “Downfall!”

RJ: “She's going for the cover! This could be the first elimination of the match!”

ONE...TWO..THR-

RJ: “Kickout! Aurora Jansen kicked out just before the three count!”

::On the other side of the ring, Alexa locks her arms around Kelsia's waist and lifts her up and turns away from the corner before slamming her down hard to the mat with a hard spinebuster and hooking a leg for a cover of her own. The referee sees this and runs across the ring, sliding down next to the second pair of female gladiators to make anothercount.::

RJ: “Now Alexa is going for the pin on Kelsia!”

MS: “Oh no! Come on, Hot Chocolate! Don't let her get it!”

ONE...TWO..T-

MS: “Yes! Hot Chocolate kicked out! The champion is still in this!”

::Alexa sits up and looks to the referee in question, but doesn't argue when he indicates a two count instead of three. Looking around briefly, Alexa hops up to her feet and bounces off of the near ropes to charge across the ring at Tee as the latter is starting to pull Aurora back up to her feet. The younger Voland sees her coming just in time to catch a hard shoulder to her stomach.::

RJ: “Spear! It looked like she almost broke Tee Voland in half with that hit!”

MS: “That certainly didn't look pleasant for Tee!”

RJ: “Alexa is going for the cover on Tee! She has a leg hooked!”

ONE...TWO...THR-

MS: “Tee kicked out!”

RJ: “I'm beginning to wonder what it's going to take to keep any of these women down for a three count, Mitch!”

MS: “They all want that World Women's Championship, and I say let them fight! This is great!”

::Looking frustrated but still determined, Alexa stands up and pulls Tee after her, applying a front facelock and hooking a leg to heave Tee up to her shoulders but Tee kicks her leg loose on the way up and twists around in Alexa's grip, folding her long and wiry legs around the Amazon's neck as she comes up onto her shoulders and leaning back, dropping her body behind Alexa's and arching her back with her hands braced on the heavier woman's waist.::

MS: “Twilight! Alexa Rose was going for the Alexinator but Tee countered it into Twilight!”

RJ: “She has that triangle choke locked in, but the Amazon Warrios is still standing!”

::Alexa claws at Tee's legs with both hands, but is unable to break the hold. She drops down to her knees and the impact jars Tee's grip on her waist loose, but she still manages to keep her legs locked around Alexa's neck. Alexa leans forward and half carries, half drags the snarling Voland forward, but has to stop and lean back to try to pull Tee's legs off of her neck. She is unsuccessful in doing so, but the referee notices that the movement has shifted Tee's position so that her shoulders are now down against the mat. The ref drops down and slaps the mat once, glancing back to the struggling Alexa, then slaps the mat a second time. Alexa's flushed features give no obvious sign that she is even aware of the count, however, and just as the referee's hand comes down for the three count she rapidly taps her hand against Tee's legs. The referee gets up and waves for the bell before pushing them apart.::

RJ: “Wait a sec, Mitch, was that a pin by Alexa or a submission by Tee?”

MS: “What? The referee is telling them they're both eliminated! How can that be?”

RJ: “I don't know, but the official is at the side of the ring speaking with ring announcer heather Lee-”

HL: “Ladies and gentlemen, the official has ruled that Alexa Rose tapped out at the same time that Tee Voland was counted down for three seconds, and both competitors are officially eliminated!”

::Tee clearly dislikes this announcement and begins arguing with the referee but doesn't notice that Alexa has caught her breath until the Amazon shoves her into the ropes and hits her with a hard clothesline that sends both women tumbling over the ropes and out of the ring.::

RJ: “Well there's one way to get them out of the ring! And a couple of security guards are going over to make sure they both stay out of the remainder of this match!”

MS: “Amazing as that was, Robbie, we're now down to just Aurora and Kelsia all of the sudden!”

::Both remaining competitors in the match have regained their feet and had been watching the struggle between Alexa and Tee from opposite corners. Now that both of them had been eliminated, Aurora and Kelsia step forward and circle each other in the center of the ring.::

MS: Just a minute ago both of these two were half out of it, but now one of them is definitely going to win it!”

RJ: “Matches like this are unpredictable, Mitch. Let's see how this turns out.”

::Kelsia rushes in and goes for a clothesline but Aurora ducks it. Kelsia keeps going and comes back at Aurora and dives for a spear attempt, but Aurora displays her agility by jumping into an aerial split and Vector sails beneath her legs. Kelsia rolls back up to her feet and turns around only to catch both of Jansen's feet in her chest as Aurora hits a standing dropkick. Aurora jumps to her feet and hits a quick elbow drop to the downed champion, then springs to her feet and hits another elbow drop, then a third. Aurora steps behind Kelsia and picks her up from behind, applies an inverted facelock and drops her down with an inverted DDT and goes for the cover.::

ONE...TWO...TH-

MS: “Kelsia kicked out!”

RJ: “The champion stays alive, but I've got to wonder if those hits didn't take too much out of her.”

::Aurora gets up and pulls Kelsia to her feet only to stagger back from a rake to the eyes. Kelsia takes full advantage of this with a quick uppercut followed by a knee to the stomach and a snapmare take down followed by a hard kick to Aurora's back. Aurora starts to get up to one knee but Kelsia runs by her, rebounds off of the ropes and hits her hard with a shining wizard.::

RJ: “Holy crap that almost took her head off!”

MS: “Whatever gets the job done, Robbie! This could be it!”

::Kelsia hooks a leg and goes for the cover.::

ONE...TWO...THR-

:Aurora kicks out, and Kelsia argues with the referee, who stands firm at two and a half. Kelsia finally relents and turns back to pull Aurora up to her feet but receives a few hard punches to the stomach that stall her. Aurora stands up and quickly applies a front facelock and lifts Kelsia up partially before falling back to drive her head to the mat with a spike DDT. Not relenting, she pulls Kelsia back up without going for a cover and steps behind her, pulling her arms out straight and twisting around. The crowd erupts in cheers as the Valkyrie goes for the her finishing move but Kelsia slips out at the last possible second and hooks Jansen's arms into a full nelson hold and heaves her up and around.::

MS: “KV Bomb! Hot Chocolate countered the Killswitch into a KV Bomb!

RJ: “She's going for the cover, hooking the leg-”

ONE...TWO...THREE!

::The bell rings and Heather Lee's voice comes in over the mixed cheers and boos from the crowd.::

HL: “Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by pin fall and STILL the ACW World Women's Champion, KELSIA VECTOR!”

MS: “I knew it! I knew Hot Chocolate would put all those challengers in their places!”

RJ: “A hard fought defense, that can't be argued. It looks like Kelsia is still our World Women's Champion.”
