HL: “The following is a women’s tag team match scheduled for one fall!”

 

::The lights begin to fade, going practically to nothing before the music, “Trip” by Tony M. Black, hits. Emerging from behind the curtain is none other then Kelsia Vector. The crowd is cheering, she is a favorite as of late. A smile across her blush colored lips as she starts walking down the ramp to the ring. Alternating sides her hand comes in contact with few that she walks past on either side. When only a short walk to the ring remains she runs the rest of the way jumping up onto the side of said area. A look to the left, then the right before bending over to enter the ring between the middle and top ropes. Once in the ring she goes to the right far corner, jumping onto the middle rope her hands come to her lips before raising in the air, as if sending her love to her fans. Jumping down she does the same with the adjacent corner before coming to stand, facing her opponent.::

 

HL: “Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and weighing in at 130 pounds…Kelsia Vector!”

 

RJ: “The newcomer still searching for her first win.  Maybe tonight the third time will be the charm.  She certainly has a good partner in her corner.”

 

MS: “Robin’s taking a turn if you ask me, Robbie.  But against the champion and number-one contender, you couldn’t ask for better backup.”

 

HL: “And her partner…”

 

::A distorted scream breaks out across the speaker system as the music, “Believe” by Breaking Benjamin, is pumped into the arena, Robin Mayfair stepping out from behind the curtain and looking out across the crowd with an impassive expression on her face. After a moment a grin cracks her lips and she lifts her arms above her head in a double wave, bumping her hips to the left and right briefly as the lyrics began to tumble from the wire mesh above. Dropping her arms, she walked slowly down the path to the ring with a bounce in her step, lips moving slightly to the lyrics of the first verse, a hand offering the occasional wave to anyone who reacted favorably to the woman before she got down to the ring.::

I don't care what you want, I just want mine! Shut up, smart little bitch, I don't need lies!
I don't care what you want, I just want mine! Get up, force it to fit, confined inside.

::Vaulting onto the apron, she pushed her hands against the turnbuckle and threw her lithe little body over the ropes and into the ring: skipping toward the centre where she would toss her head back and lift her arms: turning with a swirl of pleated skirt to double wave once, before settling back against the ropes and smiled, waiting.::

 

HL: “…from Tidworth, Britain and weighing in at 131 pounds…’Argent Dawn’ Robin Mayfair!”

 

RJ: “She and Kelsia have clashed, but seeing them on the same side of this match isn’t really a stretch.  Both have been rather sharp with their words and actions over the last week.”

 

MS: “Well, you heard Robin!  She’s bored!  Where’s her competition and something to make her show what she’s capable of?  She deserves that much!”

 

::Robin and Kelsia stood at the far corner of the ring for a few moments, eyes on the stage, perhaps going over last minute strategies while Heather Lee prepared to announce their opponents.::

 

HL: “And their opponents…”

 

::”Awake” by Godsmack pounded through the speakers as Alexa Rose and Aurelei Phoenix came from behind the curtain.  The former threw her arms up into the air, saluting the cheering fans as her partner raised the ACW Women’s Championship high into the air.  The scenes upon the ACW-Tron were a mixture of their respective logos and entrance videos with the word ‘Obsession’ flickering on an off amongst the scenes.  Both soaked in the cheers for a few moments before going face-to-face with one another.  Turning then and standing back-to-back, both pointed towards the ring, then lifted those same arms into the air to signal for an explosion of flames on both sides of the stage.  Heading down the ramp towards the ring, each one took a few moments to show a little love to the fans before breaking into a run and sliding into the ring, leaping up onto their feet.  Aurelei handed off her title to the referee and stepped back to her corner along with Alexa, keeping their eyes on their opponents while speaking in quiet tones to one another.::

 

HL: “At a combined weight of 306 pounds…first, from Danbury, Connecticut…Alexa Rose!  And from Monaro, California…the ACW Women’s Champion, Aurelei Phoenix!  They are…Obsession!”

 

MS: “Jumping the gun a little bit by slapping a name on themselves before even winning a match, aren’t they?  That’s pretty cocky as far as I’m concerned.”

 

RJ: “All the talent and potential is there for them to be a great team, Mitchell.  With their skills, proving it should be a formality.”

 

MS: “We’ll see…I’m not impressed yet.”

 

::The bell rang to start the match, and Alexa elected to start off for her team while Robin took the lead for her team.  Both of them met in the middle of the ring, Alexa wearing a determined expression while Robin had a hint of a smile upon her lips.  The lock-up commenced and Alexa easily muscled her smaller opponent into the corner.  But her attempt at a right hand was ducked and Robin was able to switch places, lacing into Alexa with a pair of chops before stepping back out of range of a rebuke.  Allowing a smirk to flicker across her face, Alexa locked up with Robin again…but instead of muscling her into the corner, she threw her into it and rushed in with a hard knee to the stomach while the ‘Argent Dawn’ was still stunned.::

 

::Following up with another knee, Alexa gave Robin a few chops of her own.  Reversing positions once again, Robin rocked her taller opponent with a stiff European uppercut.  Grabbing Alexa’s arm and giving it an overhead twist, Robin drew her over to her corner and tagged in Kelsia, who came in and landed a boot to the twisted arm of Alexa.  Taking hold of the arm herself, Kelsia gave it a twist of her own, followed by a second one.  Alexa managed to reverse the hold after a few moments, but a stiff kick from Kelsia to her stomach forced a break.  Kelsia quickly stepped in to her doubled-over opponent and went for a swinging neckbreaker, but Alexa was able to spin out of the attempt and drop Kelsia with a hard clothesline.::

 

RJ: “Looks like teamwork won’t be a problem for Robin and Kelsia, but that’s just one tag…and the pressures hardly on either side yet.”

 

MS: “I thought I sensed a bit of arrogance in Alexa, but those shots from both her opponents woke her up.”

 

::Aurelei cheered her opponent on from their side of the ring as Alexa brought Kelsia up to her feet and scooped her up for a hard body slam.  Driving her back-first to the mat, Alexa followed up with a snap leg drop and rolled into a cover.  ONE…TWO…KICKOUT!  As she brought Kelsia up to her feet to keep the attack going, the woman responded a chop and a standing dropkick that knocked Alexa into the ropes.  Rushing at the taller woman, Kelsia found herself airborne, but was able to shift her body to land on the apron.  Grabbing Alexa by the hair, she jerked her neck across the top rope, sending her crashing face-first to the mat.  A little trash-talk followed…along with an attempted thrust kick from Aurelei, though Kelsia dropped to the floor before the blow landed, giving Aurelei a smirk before sliding into the ring under the ropes.::

 

MS: “See?  What’s that about, going for a cheap shot already?”

 

RJ: “She’s looking out for her partner, Mitchell.  And since when have YOU ever worried about someone taking a cheap shot?!”

 

MS: “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

 

::After a few well-placed stomps, Kelsia pulled Alexa up to her feet, and found herself driven into Alexa’s corner out of desperation.  Aurelei made the tag and stepped in, joining Alexa in landing a few kicks to the cornered Kelsia before the latter stepped out onto the apron.  Aurelei quickly twisted Kelsia’s arm into a hammerlock and shoved her shoulder-first back into the corner.  On the rebound, Aurelei took Kelsia over with a release German suplex, but when she attempted a second one Kelsia reversed it and shoved Aurelei away, backing to her corner to tag in Robin.::

 

::A slight smile crossed both women’s lips as they came face to face in the middle of the ring, but neither lasted as they started trading stiff forearms.  Robin got the better of the exchange and whipped Aurelei into the ropes and nailed her with a hiptoss upon her return.  Aurelei was quick to rise, only to fall prey to a second hiptoss.  This time when Aurelei rose, Robin was already airborne with a spinning heel kick that nearly knocked the champion loopy.  Dropping down for a cover, Robin hooked the leg.  ONE…TWO…KICKOUT!  Not ready to be put away, Aurelei kicked out with authority, but found herself trapped in a headlock.::

 

RJ: “Hot start to this match, Mitchell.  None of these ladies are holding back.”

 

MS: “That’s just one reason ACW boasts the best Women’s Division in the world, Robbie…and the fact that they’re gorgeous doesn’t hurt matters, either.”

 

RJ: “Mind on the match, big boy.  Don’t make me get out the ice water.”

 

::Aurelei fought her way up to her feet, elbowing out of the headlock and driving a few forearms into Robin’s jaw to create some distance.  Bouncing off the ropes, she went for a flying forearm but ended up missing the move when Robin ducked, landing near the ropes on the far side.  Pulling herself up in the corner, she turned in time to see Robin rushing in, and quickly leapt up with the aid of the ropes to wrap her legs around her opponent’s neck, whipping her to the mat with a headscissors takedown.  The velocity nearly sent Robin across the ring, but she was up on her feet quickly.  Aurelei used the momentum to send Robin into the ropes, but missed a clothesline when she ducked.::

 

::Coming back around, Aurelei attempted a hiptoss, saw it blocked, and then had to block one from Robin.  Landing a knee to her stomach, Aurelei cinched Robin in for a DDT, but the ‘Argent Dawn’ spun out of the hold and tried to take Aurelei over with a backdrop suplex.  Landing on her feet behind Robin, Aurelei attempted a German suplex which saw Robin land on HER feet.  Rushing the champion into the ropes, she attempted a roll-up but was thrown off when Aurelei held on to the top strand.  Rushing in as Aurelei turned around, the champion finally got the better of the exchange, executing a gutwrench sit-out powerbomb on Robin and holding on for a pin.  ONE…TWO…TH…KICKOUT!::

 

MS: “Nice exchange, but that Ring of Fire by Aurelei almost spelled the end for Robin.”

 

RJ: “It just shows how evenly matched they are…and now it looks like Alexa’s about to get another turn.  What do you think is a key for victory for Obsession, Mitchell?”

 

::Drawing a groggy Robin towards the corner, Aurelei tagged in her partner.  Both took an arm and gave each a sharp twist, flipping Robin to the mat.  Maintaining their grip on each arm, both dropped a leg across them before Aurelei stepped out of the ring.  Alexa pulled Robin up to her feet and hoisted her up for a fall-away slam.::

 

MS: “Use Kelsia’s relative inexperience against her and keep Robin grounded.  It’s simple enough when you think about it.”

 

RJ: “And what about for Kelsia and Robin to take down Aurelei and Alexa?”

 

::Tossing Robin almost all the way across the ring, Alexa quickly pulled her away from the ropes and made a pin attempt.  ONE…TWO…only to see Kelsia come in and break up the pin.  The referee hustled her out of the ring and Robin took advantage of the distraction to roll Alexa up with a surprise inside cradle.  ONE…TWO…TH…KICKOUT!::

 

MS: “Just like that, Robbie, you’ve got your answer.  Rely on the element of surprise and distraction.  Robin and Kelsia have better luck when they use their speed and the suddenness of their execution.”

 

RJ: “Is that also factoring in the resilience of Alexa and Aurelei?”

MS: “If they take enough of those sudden blows and surprise moves, that won’t even be a factor anymore.”

 

::Alexa broke out of Robin’s grip just in time, but was taken back down to the mat with a drop toehold as soon as she regained her feet.  Floating over, Robin locked her into a single-leg Boston crab and immediately put on the pressure.  Kelsia taunted the trapped Alexa while Aurelei tried to get a chant going from her corner of the ring, trying to will Alexa out of the hold.  She did manage to make some headway towards the ropes, but Robin smartly stood and drew her away again, cinching down on the hold again.::

 

::Eventually, Aurelei had seen enough and she entered the ring in an attempt to break up the hold.  The referee caught her and hustled her back to her corner, but the act served its purpose.  Robin was momentarily distracted and loosened her grip enough for Alexa to use her free leg to push Robin away.  When Robin came in for the attack again, Alexa burst from a crouching position with a spear that leveled her.  The effort took its toll on Alexa, however, and both women were slow to get to their feet.  Alexa went for a tag, but Robin got to Kelsia first, and a running elbow drop drove Alexa to the mat mere inches away from her corner.::

 

RJ: “There’s that sudden force you talked about Mitchell.  Now Alexa has to hold out a bit longer and hope that Kelsia makes a mistake.”

 

MS: “If she’s smart, Kelsia will keep it simple…wear the bigger woman down until she or Robin can finish her off…and keep Aurelei out of the ring at all costs.”

 

::Kelsia was all about keeping Alexa grounded at this point, drawing her up to her feet only to slam her back down to the mat with a body slam.  She locked in a headlock on the mat to keep Alexa grounded, but found that her target still had some of her power to draw on.  Alexa lifted Kelsia up for what appeared to be a spinebuster, but Kelsia drove an elbow into the top of her head to force a release.  A kick to the gut and a powerbomb followed, leaving Alexa flat on her back in front of the turnbuckles.  Kelsia looked towards the corner, then to the crowd before letting a smile show and scurrying to the top rope.  Turning her back to the ring, she executed a flawless moonsault and hooked the leg after landing for a pin.::

 

::ONE…TWO…THR…Aurelei burst into the ring at the last moment and drove Kelsia off her partner with a boot to the face, but was quickly ordered out of the ring.  Kelsia took offense and nailed Aurelei with a forearm over the referee’s head, sending her down to the floor.  Turning her attention back to Alexa, she locked in a full-nelson and went for a Full Nelson Bomb.  Alexa managed to drop down and slide her arms out of Kelsia’s grip, however, and she rolled away from the attempted elbow drop that followed as well.  Fighting her way up to her feet, she halted Kelsia’s rush with a kick to the stomach and a belly-to-back suplex.::

 

MS: “Alexa bought herself some time, but how much?  She’s closer to her corner, but Aurelei is still on the floor.  Worse for them, Robin’s fresh and ready to go.”

 

RJ: “Willpower is something she has in her favor, but I agree…if Robin makes it in before Alexa makes a tag, it might be over.”

 

::Kelsia managed to make the tag to Robin as Alexa got to her feet, and she dove immediately for Alexa, snaring hold of the same leg she’d locked into the single-leg crab earlier.  That looked to be her intention now as well, but Alexa twisted out of it and shoved away from the hold as Aurelei got back onto the apron.  Robin came in for another attempt at blocking the tag, but darted back out of Aurelei’s range when the champion swiped at her.::

 

The brief pause in action allowed Alexa to make the tag, and Aurelei lunged over the ropes at Robin, taking her down with a clothesline.  Kelsia re-entered to take a shot but was clotheslined to the mat as well.  Aurelei quickly signaled that the match was over and cinched Robin in for an Aura Crusher, but a dropkick from Kelsia sent her into the ropes.  Robin and Kelsia proceeded to lay into the champion with chops and kicks while Alexa, still in the ring, pulled herself to her feet.  Whipping Aurelei into the ropes, Robin and Kelsia attempted a double-clothesline, which was ducked.  Aurelei went for a high cross body-block, but was caught by the two women.  Things looked bad until Alexa delivered a big boot to Aurelei’s back, sending her crashing down on top of their opponents.::

 

RJ: “It’s breaking down in there with all four women going at it.  The referee needs to get some control or something!”

 

MS: “Hell with that…let them fight!  One man isn’t going to make a difference between these four wildcats!  Even these peon fans are into it!”

 

::Alexa went for Robin while Aurelei went for Kelsia, both drawing their targets into opposing corners while laying chops and right hands.  They attempted to whip the two into one another, but the quick-thinking Robin leapfrogged Kelsia, who drove her shoulder into Alexa with a hard spear while Robin managed a stiff front dropkick to Aurelei.  Continuing to drive shoulders into the stomach of Alexa, Kelsia backed off and pasted the woman across the jaw with a hard slap.  Alexa grabbed Kelsia by the head in response and bounced it off the top turnbuckle, then sending Kelsia over the top rope and following her outside the ring.::

 

MS: “Aurelei’s in, but it’s still anyone’s ball game!  Robin and Kelsia have the talent to go head-to-head with these two any time, and they’re proving it!”

 

RJ: “The fans can’t decide which side they like more!  That can only pump these four up further, as if they needed more adrenaline!”

 

::Aurelei had at this point reversed positions with Robin and had driven a pair of hard knees into her stomach.  But when she backed off to charge Robin, the quicker woman leapt up onto the second rope, which caused Aurelei to crash into the turnbuckle full-force.  Staggered back by the blow, Aurelei was easy pickings for the top-rope-bound Robin, who came off with a picture-perfect missile dropkick.  She was quick to take the pinfall when the opportunity arrived.  ONE…TWO…THRE…KICKOUT!  For a moment, Robin thought that it was free, but the referee marked it as only two…a damn close two, though.::

 

::Only momentarily allowing frustration to get the better of her, Robin pulled Aurelei up and cinched her in for Falling from Grace, but a pair of elbows stunned her long enough for Aurelei to spin out of the hold and drive Robin to the mat with a DDT.::

 

RJ: “What a counter!   But Aurelei doesn’t have much time to recover here…Robin’s a match for her in the stamina department for sure.”

 

MS: “It’s up to those two now, with Alexa and Kelsia slamming each other every which way outside the ring!”

 

::True enough, Kelsia and Alexa were trading heavy shots outside the ring, only pausing to sling each other into the ring apron or ringside barrier.  The pain didn’t even seem to register, and neither seemed to be paying attention to what was happening in the ring.  Back up to her feet, Aurelei lifted Robin up to her feet, driving her face into a knee and then going for a discus lariat.  Robin ducked the second attack, though, and cinched Aurelei in for a uranage, but Aurelei elbowed her way out of it and hoisted Robin up for an Aura Driver that left her prone in front of the turnbuckles.::

 

::Wasting no time, Aurelei made a running leap at the second rope, hit the springboard to the top strand, and came off with a high, floating moonsault that took her down directly onto Robin’s knees, which lifted in response to the attack.::

 

RJ: “She blocked the Aurasault!  How in the hell did she pull that off?!”

 

MS: “Whatever the reason may be, Robin’s got the match in her hands now!”

 

::Perhaps seeking to make sure that her opponent was fully out of commission, Robin attempted another Falling from Grace, and managed to make Aurelei airborne before the champion on instinct shifted her weight to land behind her opponent, surprising her with a sudden schoolgirl roll-up.  ONE…TWO…THREE!  Kelsia had seen the shift and almost made it in to break up the pin, but Alexa managed to catch her by the leg in time.::

 

HL: “The winners of the match…Alexa Rose and the ACW Women’s Champion Aurelei Phoenix…Obsession!”

 

::Kelsia reached in now and drew the groggy Robin out of the ring as Alexa checked on her twice-groggy partner Aurelei.  The title belt was placed in the champion’s lap, but the pain in her ribs from Robin’s counter had most of her attention.  Backing up the ramp with their eyes on the ring, Robin and Kelsia looked like they had revenge in mind.  Alexa watched them from the ring, just letting the smile across her lips speak for her.  Aurelei locked eyes with them as well, letting them know that this wasn’t over.::

 

MS: “These girls, Robbie, I’m telling you…they just don’t know what quitting is!  These fans are on their feet for all of ‘em!”

 

RJ: “Hey, so am I!  That was an amazing match…and the show’s only just started!
