::Back at ringside, 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 image shown comprised of her win over Aurora for the title. Her name flashes as 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 lifted up to the ceiling. She wore black tuxedo style vest that pressed hard to her form, looping around her neck. The material of her top stopped right under her bosom to accentuate the lines of her abdomen. Her black flair pants covered black boots. Between the black materials laid the ACW Women's Championship Belt, hooked around her waist. Golden brown strands held back in a French braid. She learned to keep it back.::

 

“She is not scared to die…

The best things in life drive her to cry.

Crucify then learn!”

 

::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.::

 

MS: “Is it me or does she look a little nervous out there?”

 

“Sit and watch me burn…

I’ll take you down, and show you deep inside,

My life, my inner workin’…”

 

::Now up to her feet she made her way to each turnbuckle, unclasping the belt securing it to her shoulder. Raising her hands and motioning to the crowd, clapping her hands for them on each ring post. Hoping out of her last corner she smiled, she raised the belt to the crowd before securing it with the official. The smile fading slightly as she waited for the bell to signal her start.::

 

HL: “Our next match is a women’s tag match set for one fall!  Now entering the ring from Danbury, Connecticut, the ACW Women’s Champion…Alexa Rose!”

 

RJ: “Alexa is a professional, Mitchell…she knows it was a silly little mind trick.”

 

MS: “Little?  That assault was nothing less than an attempt to shake her focus on this tag team match against Vector and Mayfair.”

 

RJ: “What are you are trying to say there?

 

HL: “And her partner…”

 

::First the dancing notes of the piano, then the fluttering of great wings before thundering guitars add themselves to the mix as “Phoenix” by Vanden Plas sounds throughout the arena. The lights go out and rise again with a fiery orange tint. The ACW-Tron comes alive with scenes of Aurelei Phoenix in action in the ring as well as outside of it, with a few of her promo spots shown as well. As she walks out on the stage, she takes a moment to look back and forth at the crowd before raising her hands into the air to prompt twin burst of flame to rise on either side of her. The yellow and red lights flash in time with the music and against the orange tint filling the arena they give a flickering flame effect.::

 

RJ: “Somebody is playing games…security almost didn’t let Phoenix in at the front after she was locked out and had to walk all the way around from the back of the Alltel Arena .”

 

MS: “Hah!  I bet she made a sight for the public in that get up.”

 

::She makes her way down the ramp at a subdued pace, rolling her shoulders and neck as she makes her way towards the ring obviously trying to regain a little composure after being locked out in to the loading bay area of the venue.::

 

HL: “…now entering the ring, residing in Santa Maria, California…Aurelei Phoenix!”

 

::Reaching the ring, she stretches her arms out wide at her sides then makes a flat-footed leap up onto the apron. Stepping between the ropes, she walks over to the far turnbuckles and steps up onto the middle strands, looking out at the crowd again briefly before spreading her arms in the manner that a bird would spread its wings. Turning as she leaps off the turnbuckle and down to the mat, she continues her stretches and loosening up in the corner while awaiting the bell. Her gaze and expression from start to finish are continuously intense, though she flashes a smirk or two from time to time.::

 

RJ: “But if you are trying to point fingers there, Mitchell, you can’t point them at this lady, she was as much a target as Aurelei and Alexa.”

 

::The music gradually ebbs from the speaker system, the vocals dropping to a croon, the guitars weave effortlessly throughout as Robin walks out onto the ramp and remains stationary for a moment: her eyes spanning the breadth of the arena, then back to her two opponents waiting over on the other side of the ring from her.::

 

MS: “Save that speech for somebody who needs to hear it, Robert. It looks like Robin Mayfair may have made her mind up about who chased her through the corridor backstage!”

 

::The music washes over her body, over the crowd as ‘Shame’ by Drowning Pool picks up the pace, vibrating through the arena floor and up through the spines of both fan and officials alike. Her face is impassive, save for the smallest curl of her lip and an undeniable sparkle in her eye, movement tossing auburn waves behind her shoulder as she suddenly moved and progressed down the ramp.::

 

“I, I turn my back on you and I will, I will, I will shame you, shame you.

I, I've got no time for you and I will, I will, I will shame you, shame you.”

 

::Hips sway in time with the beat, a bounce in her step that speaks of the boundless energy still contained within each curl of a limb that explodes into action when within the ring, a rarely seen confidence emanating from the small toss of her head. Fingers coiled against her palm; a small wave to anyone who thought to acknowledge her, touch of lashes against cheek as a wink was tossed out to the crowd regardless as she made her way to the ring.::

 

“I burn, I burn

Let me touch you, let me get inside you. All I feel, I can make it feel all so real.

You know I'll lie again, you know I'll try again: my words, ripping, tearing, straight through you!”

 

::Fingers curling across the turnbuckle, she vaulted over the ropes and spun: soles of her feet connecting with the barrier and holding her upright as she took a stance up high in the corner and thrust her arms into the air: eyes closing and head lolling back against her shoulders as if drunk, her body as rigid as marble before she fell back with a little turn and crossed to the other side of the ring to repeat the gesture - arms up wide, head back, offering herself up as a sacrifice. Smirking, she dropped down and leaned against the support, her expression serious as hungry eyes waited for it to begin.::

 

“No, don't you speak my name

Don't you speak my name…I'm pain!”

 

RJ: “Maybe Mayfair needs to be looking a little closer to home, Mitchell!”

 

MS: “You may have a point there…for once!”

 

::The lights begin to fade, going practically to nothing. The song 'Down with the Sickness' by Disturbed hits over the PA system.  The instrumentals and foreboding lyrics continue as Kelsia Vector comes from behind the black curtain to look out at the now-booing fans. She laughs looking around at them all…and that is where reality ends for Kelsia.::

 

::The grating vocals of Disturbed’s front-man a silenced and the jarring melody is replaced by a heavy reverberating note struck from a bass guitar and the effect is almost magical as the face of Kelsia suddenly freezes, a voice declaring over the ACW-Tron.::

 

“I will always be here!”

 

::Down in the ring, Robin Mayfair is struck by the same spell.  Aurelei Phoenix backs up into corner as she turns her gaze to look up at Kelsia Vector still on the stage.  Meanwhile then words on the lips of Alexa Rose voice what the other two are thinking…that the mind author of the minds games from earlier tonight is right in front of them all, and the voice shouts out over the rising cheer of the Little Rock fans.::

 

“I will always look out from behind these eyes!!”

 

::The lights go out, and spot lights hit the ring illuminating each of the three women already in the ring, one for each of them in turn.::

 

”It's only a lifetime!”

 

::Spotlights hit Kelsia next and like her opponents down in the ring she seems frozen as if realizing she just got punked into being somebody else’s fall guy.::

 

“It's only a lifetime.”

 

::Now the voice is almost whispering as a soft red glow builds up behind Kelsia. The fans in the Alltel Arena can see and their response alerts Kelsia that something wicked this ways comes. The looks on the faces of Aurelei, Mayfair and Rose are a peach as they realize that maybe, just maybe Vector is not to blame.  Maybe there is a new player in the game.::

 

::Kelsia turns to see a silhouette.::

 

”It's only a lifetime…”

 

::The figure stands more than seven and half feet tall. The breadth of the shoulders is beyond belief and the build of the imposing shadow is only enhanced as the music changes from just the simple and threatening base to the heavy chords of ‘Sorrow’ by Pink Floyd.  But Kelsia has had enough and tears towards the shadow.  Tearing down a paper curtain the lights go out again dropping the Alltel Arena in to darkness filled only with the flash photography of several hundred fans and the cheers and chanting of several thousand more besides after that display of theatrics.::

 

::It is left then to Mitchell Summerville and his partner Robert Jones to bring this match back from the brink.  From out of that darkness at venue Robert Jones cuts clear across the broadcast.::

 

RJ: “I don’t know what exactly has been happening, and I don’t know what is happening now but I’ve received word that the back-up generators are going to kick on…”

 

::Suddenly the lights go on all over the Alltel Arena and the cheers from the Little Rock fans is thunderous ovation and chanting from the mob call out for the match to start.  With Kelsia Vector finally in the ring and standing next to her tag partner Robin Mayfair they exchange words as do their opponents Aurelei Phoenix and Alexa Rose in the far off corner. The referee does the rounds amongst the four women and clears all of them before call for the bell and the start of this tag team match.::

 

MS: ‘Strange goings on here in Arkansas tonight!”

 

::Kelsia steps up and faces off against Aurelei and the two women circle each other very, very warily.::

 

RJ: “It looks like whatever the game was it has managed to put the frighteners on these two!”

 

::A two-handed choke lift from Kelsia is countered by Aurelei who slams her fists down into Kelsia’s elbow and answers back by driving forearm smashes and uppercuts; Kelsia draws a line in the sand and halts Aurelei’s advance with a Bionic elbow to the taller women’s forehead; Kelsia takes advantage of the stunned Aurelei Phoenix and whips her to the far ropes catching her on the rebound with a dropkick.::

 

RJ: “A pin by Kelsia Vector, but Aurelei gets her shoulder clear just at two!”

 

MS: ‘Kelsia looking to close this match quick but Aurelei was not about to lie down and take it from Vector!”

 

::Vector pulls Aurelei to her feet and takes a jab from Phoenix’s elbow to her midsection,; Aurelei frees herself from Vectors grips and shifts around to face off with Vector and hammers home a spinning back fist before grabbing Vector around the waist and hauled in to a belly-to-belly suplex.  She compounds the assault with a Northern Lights suplex.::

 

MS: “A pin via suplex from Aurelei Phoenix gets her a two-count of the ref!”

 

MS: “Aurelei showing incredible resilience after what happened earlier tonight, but after the shock during Kelsia’s entrance I have to give to both women being able to focus on this match despite the events of earlier this evening!”

 

::Aurelei picks herself up in time to grab a hold of Vector by her hair and send her to across the ring hard to the post next to Alexa Rose, with ref distracted as he watches for any interference from Alexa Rose, Aurelei charges into the other corner and hammers her elbow into Robin Mayfair’s face knocking her clear of the apron.::

 

::Aurelei charges as Vector staggers and throws out a clothesline, Kelsia ducks the arm and come up behind Aurelei then flips herself head over heels just as Aurelei turns to find but is distracted for a second by Rose’s warning and takes a shot to her face from Vector’s back flip kick. Vector tries to shake off the posting and grabs Aurelei and the two tussle back and forth for a moment while Alexa Rose desperately tries to reach out to her tag partner but is denied as Vector woman-handles Phoenix away from her corner and drops Aurelei with a quick chokeslam; making as if to spit on the fallen Phoenix, Vector backs off before picking Aurelei up and twisting her into a full nelson.::

 

RJ: “KV Bomb from Kelsia…no, Aurelei Phoenix has hooked her foot around Vector calf like a vine, Vector’s is trying to pull her into that power bomb but she has to pull against her on weight as well and that may be more than she is capable of!”

 

::Frustrated, Vector shoves Aurelei away and hard causing her to slam back in to the turnbuckle but face first, Alexa Rose takes matters in to her own hands and tags herself in; stepping up she strike a back-handed slap across Vector’s face, Vector drops Rose with a short-arm clothesline, picking Rose back up she whips her across the ring and goes for the dropkick on the return only to find air as Alexa hangs herself up on the ropes; coming free Alexa struts over to the fallen Vector then drops like a falling tree to drive a headbutt into the bridge of Vectors nose; Vector tries to roll free nursing her face but Alexa pulls her back and pins her for a one-count from the referee; this time it is Vector being picked up to vertical base but before Alexa can make something of it Vector snags Rose in to a belly-to-belly suplex. Kelsia picks herself up still nursing her face and staggers over to her waiting partner and tags Robin Mayfair in to the match.::

 

MS: “Robin’s wasting no time and goes for the pin on Alexa Rose courtesy of Vector’s suplex, but gets a count of two for the effort!”

 

::Alexa Rose is brought to her feet and blocks a punch fro Robin Mayfair, the two ladies lock up and try to wrestle out for a few seconds before break and coming back in at each other; Alexa goes for a leg sweep on Robin who skips over it with a diving forearm which knocks both of them to the mat, and again both ladies come up fast. Robin seems to consider tagging in Vector but Rose is too close and she barely dodges a back flip kick from Alexa who gingerly falls against the ropes the right way up just in time to see Robin Mayfair closing the gap on her with spinning heel kick, using the top rope Alex back flips again and Robin’s heel passes just over her as she come to land on the apron; Robin follows through and lunges at Alexa with a knife-edge chop only to have Alexa duck and shove her shoulder into her midsection; seeing Robin winded Alexa steps back through the ropes and drops Robin in the center of the ring with a power bomb. The referee checks the pin and counts it out.::

 

RJ: “One…two…thr…no!  Robin gets a shoulder free and takes a stiff one from Alexa and another pin but the referee is having her back off with warning about her conduct.”

 

MS: “Tensions are building there Rob, these four women have already been through an ordeal but the way this match is running they are showing a little more edge than we are used too in there!!”

 

::Alexa picks Robin up by her hair and leads her back to her own corner where she tags Aurelei back in to the match.::

 

::Aurelei snags Robin and drops her in to an inverted atomic drop before climbing the turnbuckle; without a second thought Aurelei leaps from the top of the post and slams into Robin Mayfair with a flying clothesline. Aurelei manages to shake it off and hooks Robin for the pin. The referee slides in and counts out the pin.::

 

One…two…thr…

 

RJ: ”Intervention by Kelsia Vector saves Mayfair from taking a fall!!”

 

::Aurelei is up on her feet in a flash and in Vector’s face despite the best efforts of the referee to separate the two of them. A shoving match ensues between Vector and Phoenix.

 

RJ: “I…”

 

MS: “No Robbie, no don’t say a thing…please.”

 

::Caught between the two amazons the ref seems to stall for just a second or two and maybe there is a smile(?) on his lips before he shove the two women apart; as he corrals Kelsia Vector back to her corner from the other side of the ring Alexa Rose steps in and Vector sees the danger and starts to fight past the referee who is not interested in what she is saying; Robin Mayfair hooks the waist of Aurelei’s outfit and pulls her over into pin and the fans in Little Rock go ballistic counting out the pin themselves but Robin realizes it’s no use with Vector in the referee’s face and Alexa Rose taunting Kelsia from the other side so she drops Phoenix and charges at Alexa who is not about to let herself be run out of the ring; Mayfair and Rose meet head on trading blows much the fans delight, Robin pounds on Alexa Rose forcing her up against the post in her corner but not for long when Alexa manages to slip to one side and drives a combination of uppercuts and knees in to Mayfair’s sides, Robin is far from being winded yet and turns the tide again fighting her way free with a devastating set of knife-edge chops Robin bring Alexa to the canvas with a headlock takedown but see Aurelei has more than recovered and leaves Alexa simply to regain her feet and step back through the ropes just as Vector finally cows to the refs demands as he starts a fast five count threatening not hers but Robins disqualification from the match.::

 

::Robin locks up with Aurelei Phoenix but the grapple is short-lived as Robin breaks it with one more knife-edge chop; Phoenix hurts but is not out and she steps back in and twist both Mayfair’s arms in to a double-underhook and again Mayfair finds her midsection under assault from a brutal set of knee strikes this time from Aurelei Phoenix; Robin’s opponent releases her but only so as she can transition from the underhook hold into Kata Guruma, Robin screams out as she it taken over Aurelei knee backward causing her spine to arc painfully before being forced to the canvas; Aurelei maintains the wristlock on Robin and walks around her tightening in the lock before dropping a knee on her chest; Robin tries to roll out of it but Aurelei maintains the grip, Robin rolls again and is able to come to a vertical base but Phoenix is still working that wristlock and jerks Mayfair off balance then sets about her with first a crescent kick quickly followed by a hammer kick that again forces Robin to double over, a leg sweep from behind drops Mayfair to her back and Aurelei Phoenix goes for the pin on Mayfair.::

 

MS: “This is it…NO!”

 

::Robin powers out of the of the pin at two and the look on Phoenix’s face tells it all as Mayfair rolls holding her gut almost folded in to fetal position. Aurelei teases Mayfair back to a vertical base and backs her in to the ropes where she hammers home an uppercut before whipping Robin across the ring but Robin switches out her grips and usurps the whips ands sends Aurelei to the ropes instead and follows sharply after her; catching Phoenix on the rebound dropping her hard with a sit-out face slam.::

 

RJ: “Robin has taken a beating but can she capitalize after putting the breaks on Phoenix’s control over this match!!”

 

::Robin tries to get to her feet, staggers and the falls on to her knees so she crawls and at the last second as she falls she reaches out and tags in Kelsia Vector; seeing her partner vulnerable Alexa Rose sees no choice and charges in and in spite of the referee’s protests she collides with Vector lifting her up and over in to a back body drop, then ref steps in quickly and backs Rose off having given Vector the same chance earlier herself.::

 

::Kelsia comes to her knees smiling wickedly at Alexa as she steps back on the apron of her corner but it is back to business as Aurelei takes advantage of Vector’s prone state by diving on her and delivering a rain of mounted punches and again the referee has to intercede before any real damage is done; Aurelei does step off and waits just long enough to let Kelsia regain her feet then the fight is on again between the two and Phoenix steps around the referee and commits Okuriashi Harai sending Vector flying head over heels again and hard on to her back; grabbing Vector by her arm Phoenix brings her in to her corner where Alexa waits and is tagged in; Aurelei drops a knee in parting and Alexa Rose takes a little time to adjust where Vector is lying before lifting both of her ankles to her waist; Alexa falls back pulling Vector through a catapult straight into the post; Alexa hooks a leg and the referee slide in for the count but halts after counting one as he points at Kelsia’s boot on the rope negating the pin. Alexa kicks Vector’s leg from the rope and tags Aurelei back in; Phoenix stomps in Vector forcing her away from the edge of the ring until again she drops down on Vector to hammer home another barrage of mounted punches but breaks off quickly before the ref can say anything; again a tag between Aurelei and Alexa is made and Alexa steps into the ring and hunkers down in to a sprinter’s start position signaling for Vector get up; Robin Mayfair shouts warnings to her partner but they seem unheeded as she stands on shaky legs and Alexa charges; Vector has been playing possum and side steps sending Alexa into the ropes, still staggering Vector grabs Rose from the ropes and drops her in to a backbreaker, Vector goes for pin on Alexa Rose and once again the referee moves in to tap out the count.::

 

MS: “Kelsia gets the pin on Alexa Rose!  One…two…how did Alexa kick out of that?!’

 

RJ: “An incredible show of fortitude by Alexa Rose, incredible determination, but she may not have done herself any favors as Kelsia brings her back up to her feet. Some harsh backhand chops by Kelsia almost rock Alexa off her heels, and she is going for the KV Bomb again…Alexa is fighting but Kelsia has one arm hooking in the half nelson but Alexa is refusing to give up the other as she tries to grab a hold of the ropes!”

 

::Suddenly, and through obvious frustration Kelsia whips Alexa around and into a sharp belly-to-belly suplex. Another pin attempt brings Aurelei out of her corner slamming the heel of her boot between Kelsia’s shoulder blades breaking the count; Robin answers Aurelei’s intervention by charging from the top ropes of her corner and hooking Aurelei into a diving hurricanrana sending her back across the ring; Kelsia shakes off the attack from Phoenix and returns her attentions to Alexa Rose as her own tag partner slips from the ring before the ref can say anything about it; Kelsia looks for the Shining Wizard just as Alexa pulls herself to her knees but rolls clear leaving only air for Vector to hit; Alexa comes to her feet and goes for the big boot against the over-balanced Kelsia but she bobs away and actually catches the offending leg and drops to a knee almost breaking Alexa’s over it; Rose screams out and rolls away as Kelsia stalks after slamming her boot down on empty canvas laughing as she stalks Alexa all the way back to hr corner but again Kelsia is playing mind games and all of a sudden she shifts attention to Aurelei and charges only to strike out at empty air while Alexa sneaks the tag literally under Kelsia’s nose.::

 

::Vector reaches over grabbing Aurelei by her hair and yanks her up and over the top rope and in to the ring; grabbing Aurelei by the hair Vector plants her face in to the canvas before coming to her feet and dropping a knee across the small of Phoenix’s back; pulling Aurelei back to her feet Vector brings her to Robin where another tag is made and Kelsia leaves Aurelei with a wristlock and lifting her arm exposing her midsection allowing Robin to drive home a hard boot that double her over; Robin combos knife-edged chops with European uppercuts that rock Aurelei to almost senselessness before DDT-ing her to the mat. Climbing the corner post again Robin see Phoenix is already recovering and aborts the missile dropkick and instead uses the momentum from coming off the post behind a clothesline which Aurelei ducks, Robin turn swiftly and is taken down by a sweep kick from Aurelei who grabs her legs and turns her looking for a Boston crab but Robin pulls a leg free and shoves her opponent clear of her allowing her time top regain her own feet; Robin catches Phoenix as she turns and she slams her boot into Aurelei midsection; draping her opponent over her shoulders in a fireman's carry position, Robin then takes hold of Phoenix and pulls her over and down to the mat. As she falls to a sitting position she forces Aurelei to land on her upper back with her neck between Robin’s legs forcing her shoulders to the canvas.::

 

RJ: “This has to be it…Robin just nailed Phoenix with Falling from Grace!”

 

::The referee counts it out as do the commentators and the fans.::

 

MS: “One!”

 

RJ: ‘Two!”

 

“Three!”

 

::Alexa attempts to make the save at the last moment, but Kelsia heads her off at the pass, both her and Robin rolling from the ring after the fact as the referee calls for the bell, prompting the official announcement from Heather Lee.::

HL: “Your winners…Robin Mayfair and Kelsia Vector!”

 

::Aurelei, still a bit shaken from Robin’s finisher, narrows her eyes at the woman as well as Kelsia, a slight smirk flickering over her features.  Her opponents return the look with expressions of their own, then turn and walk up the ramp.
