Showtime! at Southern Sun
02.03.2123 from Southern Sun Memorial Hall Centrapolis, Centra Prime 7,420
- The Randomizer! -
Peacemaker and Pendragon will each compete in singles matches tonight. They won't know who their opponent is until they get in the ring. Peacemaker is first up. He reaches the ring as random wrestlers flash on the Holo-tron. The wrestlers are eliminated participants from the tag tournament with the exception of Gabriel (injured in last weeks match). Peacemaker waits as the Randomizer stops on Exodus!
Peacemaker vs. Exodus
Peacemaker defeated Exodus with the PEACEMAKER'S OATH at 24:01
Match Rating: 4.25
Peacemaker earned this one! Both men shake hands at the start of the match which gets a good response from the crowd. Exodus would attack with a more agility based offense getting a two count after a Flight Kick. Peacemaker would show off his power moves almost getting a win after a delayed vertical suplex. Exodus would nearly knock out the big guy with WRAITH OF GOD but somehow Peacemaker gets his shoulder up before the three. Exodus trys a flipping lariat but Peacemaker had it well scouted countering with a scoop slam. Repeated turnbuckle rams (from the top to the bottom) soften Exodus up for PEACEMAKER'S OATH and a huge win for Peacemaker.
- Shepard promo -
"It hasn't been a great start for me in the new aCe, I'll admit. A poor showing in the Centra Cup and tapping two weeks ago on Showtime! That all changes at Catch Fire! I'm entering BattleRok and I will scratch and claw my way out of Hell and in the end I will be declared the Battlefield champion!"
- Tag Title Tournament -
The Others vs. Sycophant and Master
PainMaster defeated Odyssey with THE TORTURE CHAMBER at 5:12
Match Rating: 1.75
The Others looked well on their way to victory executing tag moves in sync like The Others of old. Sycophant somehow managed to kick out of CHRONOCHASM, an imploding senton bomb, and a springboard somersault leg drop. Out of desperation the Deviant used one of his straps to hook Odyssey's leg and pull him off the top rope. Quickly he locks on THE TOURNIQUET but Odyssey gets to the ropes. PainMaster tags in and locks in THE TORTURE CHAMBER where he submits.
Omni doesn't attempt a pin save at all. He calmly jumps off the apron and walks to the back. An aCe interviewer catches up with him as he's walking asking why he didn't try to help Odyssey.
"I'd like to announce I'm entering the BattleRok as the tenth and final competitor!"

The crowd was shocked at Omni's underhandedness in getting a step closer to singles gold.
- The Amazing Mann Promo -
"10 men enter, 1 man leaves! Whoever escapes the Lava Pit is named the Battlefield champion and decides the rules to the game. Being the Ultimate Escape Artists means this will be a walk in the park! I am throwing my name into the hat and when it's all said and done I will be victorious. Looks like BattleRok just got AMAZING!
- Tag Title Tournament -
Primeval Destruction vs. The Brothers Oaken
Double Disqualification at 9:36
Match Rating: 2.25
Try as he might, the ref couldn't keep this match in the ring. All four men took the action outside any chance they could, around ringside and through the crowd. Knowing what was on the line the referee let it go on as long as he could. When Warfare brought in his Warhammers to counter Donk's chair, he had no choice but to disqualify both teams resulting in loud boos from the crowd.
Almost immediately S&M made their way to ringside trailed by the security meant to keep them captive. PainMaster grabbed a mic and demanded they give the tag titles to S&M.
"These Neanderthals had their chance and they blew it. S&M are the tag champs! Give us the essence!"
Officials came down to separate everyone. It was announced over the loud speaker the Board would have a ruling in the matter.

- Mr. Bloat Promo -
Mr. Bloat had filmed a promo from his prison cell. It was hard to see him in the dark but he was definitely heard.
"I'm entering the BattleRok! Be warned I do not plan to climb out and grab a title. No! I am there simply to inflict as much pain as possible to the nine other competitors! This is my playground and it is time to play!"
Godsend, Darkseed, and Nightmare vs. Hustler, Scorch, and Esperanto
Nightmare defeats Esperanto with MINDBENDER at 10:36
Match Rating: 3.00
Godsend and Hustler started the match giving us a good preview of what we'll see at Catch Fire. Both men got in a decent amount of offense making the one on one encounter all the more exciting.
Scorch took a tremendous beating from Darkseed ending up on the wrong side of a top rope powerbomb three times.

Esperanto and Nightmare went back and forth in the battle of lariats, surprisingly with Nightmare coming out on top. This was the prelude for MINDBENDER and a solid win for The Dominion.
- The NEMEAN Show -
Nemean doesn't do his normal opening shtick instead rolls the backstage promo from New School members Nes Kincade and Avarice after last Showtime!
He then brings out his guest Ventross.
He then brings out his guest Ventross.
Nemean - First things first big man, I had those guys right where I wanted them last week, they were about to be taken to pound town by me, but I thank you for your help nonetheless.
Ventross - I don't think that means what you thi--
Nemean - Now to the matter at hand. Those two fools have thrown down the challenge! They want it, these people want it, hell I'm even feeling nostalgic for it. They want to see the Ravagers back together again! (huge crowd pop)
Let's make it official with a fist bump and get to work on a game plan.
Let's make it official with a fist bump and get to work on a game plan.
Ventross - I'm sorry, no.
Nemean stood in shock as his fist was left hanging.
Ventross - I didn't help you because you are a Ravager, I did it because I'm part of the Six! I did it because the law needs to be laid down nice and early in the new aCe. Actions like that won't stand! I helped you, but that's as far as I go, I plan on entering the BattleRok!
The fans were sour after the comments from Ventross but didn't boo. That changed when Nes and Avarice made their way out onto the set.
Avarice - You dare reject a challenge from me?! Who the hell do you think you are? I know what it is! You're scared! You know our history and you know you'll end up underneath a Black Rose!
Ventross - Whatever, Blackheart. Wish I could say this has been fun but it hasn't. Nemean, good luck with everything.
Ventross turned to leave when Nes started to speak.
Nes - Listen you fopdoodle, you should be kissing the feet of Avarice! He was generous enough to make you famous by losing to him on a major show and you turn that down you simple bitch???
The crowd let out a collective "OOOOOOOOH" at that last statement. Ventross stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around. Avarice just stood wide-eyed. Even he knew Nes over-stepped his bounds. With the quickness of a cat Ventross pounced with a flying shoulder spear. Nemean extracted a measure of revenge by knocking Avarice out with Hunger Strike. Ventross reached down to grab Kincade's mic.
Ventross - You're finished. Both of you!
With that Ventross and Nemean pounded fists leaving the New School to recover.
- Tag Tournament Final -
Aegis appeared on the Holo-tron standing in front of an aCe banner.
Aegis - Good evening Southern Sun! Hope you are enjoying the action tonight! The fans deserve a great ending to the tag title tournament not a winner by default. After great deliberation it has been decided that the aCe tag championship final with be a three way battle between S&M, The Oakens, and Primeval Destruction - Sudden death rules. Also the Totalis situation will be addressed at Catch Fire as well, I will see you then!
- The Randomizer! -
The aCe champion Pendragon makes his way to the ring, fans a little louder than they have been in the past. He gets in the ring and expects The Randomizer to start. What he gets is Paganax on the Holo-tron. The Lava King, bathed in red light, speaks.
"I guess I wasn't clear last week. It seems that my warning has been ignored. I will say it again. If you don't cancel the show on Primus, you will answer to me!
STAY OFF PRIMUS!"
STAY OFF PRIMUS!"
The Holo-tron goes dark again before The Randomizer appears. It stops on Shock Syndicate member Holocaust! Both he and Flatliner make their way to the ring shooting tee shirts into the crowd.
Pendragon vs. Holocaust
Pendragon defeated Holocaust with OVERTHROW at 3:13
Match Rating: 0.50
Pendragon continues to steam roll the competition! Not even outside interference from Flatliner could stop Pendragon from putting Holocaust down in less than 4 minutes. Walking to the back Pendragon looks directly into the camera saying "See you at Catch Fire, Peacemaker!"
