aCe: A Dimension Divided...

[Vanimal]

- What We See -

The beaches of Castle Rose are packed again with friends and family of Avarice. The party seems to be well underway, so much so in the case of The New School that they hadn't realized that no one from the aCe crew are present. Neither are the wrestlers. In fact the only two aCe employees are a production assistant and a lone cameraman filming The New School. Nes is the first to realize something is up.

Kincade - Say guys...shouldn't the show have started by now? Where the hell is everyone?

Prompted by the question Aegis appears on the Holo-Tron.

Avarice - What is this, Aegis? Where is everyone?

Aegis - You failed to fill out the proper paperwork in time for another show at Castle Rock. We were unsure of your commitment so the decision was made to move the show to Paradiso Island. Everyone was informed about the move, didn't you get the memo?

Avarice - That is crap and you know it! I made my intentions known last week that the Party would continue! This is a deliberate attempt to embarrass us!

Aegis - I have no clue what you're talking about Avarice. All I can say is next time you want to play host make sure you have your ducks in a row. Also, since the show is minutes away from starting and you wont be able to attend the New School should expect to be levied with fines. Now if that is all I have to prepare for an announcement I'll be making later tonight, I think that's all I had to say here...

A production hand quickly whispers something in the ear of Aegis.

Aegis - Ah yes I almost forgot, Pendragon sends his regards.

The feed cuts on that note leaving a screaming mad Blackheart and New School.

Trouble in Paradiso
05.10.2123 from Paradise Palace Paradise Island, Tarkanian Sea 11,261

- What We See (part2) -

The white sandy beaches of Paradiso Island are beautiful in comparison to the rocky beaches of Castle Rock. Paradise Palace has retractable walls allowing fans to enjoy the action with an incredible views of beaches, Paradise Forrest, sailing ships and the ROC Barracks. When shows occur it's not uncommon to see fans watching from each of these areas!

Omni vs. Odyssey

Odyssey defeated Omni with a moonsault legdrop with chair at 15:39

Match Rating: 4.00

 Omni and Odyssey start trading palm strikes and claw strikes with Omni coming out on top shocking Odyssey with a superkick. Hoping to end it early Omni lays in CHRONOCHASM but Odyssey kicks out and rolls outside the ring. Odyssey wastes no time taking advantage of the lack of rules tossing a floating vid cam at Omni and taking over.

Both men traded moves and two counts, Odyssey kicking out of four CHRONOCHASM. It was during Omni's set up of the fifth that Odyssey got desperate hitting his partner with a low blow that took everything out of his Other. Climbing the turnbuckle with chair in hand, Odyssey jumps off with a moonsault legdrop with the chair underneath his legs getting the W.

The Others Series is tied 2-2.

- "We Expect Results" -

Earlier In The Week.

The Amazing Mann was summoned to Primus for a quarterly review at Syndicate Tech. He walks into a conference room completely dark save an aisle lit by dim floor lights. Once in the center several spotlights shine on him making it impossible to see the others present in the room.

Syndicate Tech P1 - Your performance in the aCe up until this point has been...sub par. You have a winning record, but hover dangerously close to the 500 mark.

Syndicate Tech P2 - We paid big money to get you here, then even more to make you leader of The Syndicate. What do we have to show for it? No essence, not even the Battlefield title!

Syndicate Tech P1 - Heck, you couldn't even win the third tier title.

Syndicate Tech P3 - The Unbreakable Tour thing is cute but where does it lead? We hoped titles, merch sales, and better PR for Syndicate Tech, we have yet to see returns. We have a suggestion.

The Amazing Mann seethes at the disrespect but chokes it down. "By all means, let's hear it."

Syndicate Tech P4 - We want you to attack Paganax.

The Amazing Mann - You what?

Syndicate Tech P5 - You heard us. His disrespect towards us and our property have reached a tipping point. Take him out.

Syndicate Tech P2 - We have word that Aegis is making an announcement about the next two super shows, Paganax is involved in one of them. The match at the upcoming card seems...interesting to say the least.

Syndicate Tech P1 - The match appears to be suited to your talents, as long as you don't fall out of contention. Now go, and remember, we expect results.

Mr. Bloat vs. Aspin Northstar

Mr. Bloat defeated Aspin Northstar with an Organ Grinder at 4:38

Match Rating: 1.50

 Mr. Bloat's decimation of The Six continues! Aspin starts off fast but eventually gets caught by the bigger Bloat. Mr. Bloat uses CRUEL AND UNUSUAL several times, each time letting Northstar escape. Eventually he gets bored and stands full force on Aspin's chest forcing him to tap out.

AFTERMATH

Bloat grabs his razorfork from the corner and mouths "That's four!" to the camera before making his way to Northstar. Lance At-Las runs out to protect his paartner but gets a face full of razor trying to stop the carnage about to go down. Peacemaker runs out next and stands over Northstar daring Bloat to attack. The Battlefield Champion grips his razorfork and readies to strike when his security detail enter the ring to take him away.

Pardon the Interruption

Paganax music hits and he's announced for the next match. Before Flatliner comes out we get a surprise appearance from Aegis on the Holo-Tron.

Aegis - Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the show! Last week I was interrupted from making my announcement so here I am again. The man in the ring made a bold statement after HOLY W4R, challenging Avarice to an aCe heavyweight champion match. The Board has reviewed the rankings and besides the men who hold other titles and Pendragon, the Lava King is worthy of a title shot. This match will take place at Syndicate Slam down the road!
Now onto my other announcement. We have an exciting match lined up for Centra Clash to determine who will challenge for the aCe Heavyweight title at Battle of Centra. It's called...

Avarice - Are we in? Nes are we in?

Avarice and Nes Kincade have been trying to break into the Holo-Tron feed the entire time Aegis made his announcement. With the help of the poor production assistant left behind at Castle Rock they succeeded.

Avarice - This is bull$#!+! How dare they make this match without my input! I knew Aegis had it out for me but this is a new low! Don't worry Paganax, I have a Black Rose with your name on it but that's besides the point!

Kincade - The paperwork has been filed, The Blackheart Beach Party returns next week and I got your main event! Regulators vs Donk, Rorus and Myself! (Nes rips off his neckbrace) see you bitches then!

Paganax vs. Flatliner

Paganax wins Flatliner via Disqualification at 15:02

Match Rating: 4.00

 Flatliner fared way better than his partner did a week earlier almost getting a shocking upset several times. Both men fought hard for the win wowing the fans and getting several standing ovations throughout. Cheers turned to boos when Holocaust got involved striking Paganax with a chair. Flatliner soon joined in and Shock Syndicate take turns wailing on the Heathen Chief. The Amazing Mann joins his metallic partners locking in the most impressive UNBREAKABLE to date. The Syndicate stand over the fallen Chief before exiting the ring.

- Totalis Promo -

Totalis comes to the ring to loud "THEY" chants throughout the Palace. He walks around the ringside area, takes it in, grabs a mic and gets in the ring.

Totalis - Oh man is this sweet. I stand here, the NEW Holovision champion! Granted I should have been the first, but I guess that doesn't matter. Which brings me to why I'm here.

Loud "THEY" chants from the crowd.

Totalis - That's right. I sat there at the Frontier Justice Press Conference with no title and no clear view of how to get into the title picture. Then it struck me. THEY are the key, THEY are the way. I can use "them" to get some juice, get the Board talking, get myself back into contention. And it worked, I earned a contender match off of that stupidity and I did the rest! All off the backs of morons, because THEY are YOU and you fell for it hook, line and sinker hahahahaha!

The fans slowly realized what was said and the cheers turned to boos.

Totalis - I used the fact that you are dumb morons who will chant anything to be involved in the show and got myself over and now I'm the hottest thing on Holovision.

The fans booed again then slowly started chanting "They! They! They!" again.

Totalis - No stop it! We're done with that! Stop it! KNOCK IT OFF!

The fans chanted louder until Hustler's music started bumping over the the PA

Hustler - Congrats, Totalis, on finally getting over...or should I congratulate the crowd? (Loud pop). I hope you didn't think I forgot about our thing. Revenge isn't a straight line but it's brought me back to you! At Centra Clash me and you are finally gonna throw down. I'll see you then.

Pendragon vs. Scud

Pendragon defeated Scud with a hard lariat at 6:15

Match Rating: 3.25

 Pendragon comes out to a hero's welcome. He grabs a mic and leans on the top rope, more relaxed then we have seen him yet.

Pendragon - Well, I was supposed to fight Avarice tonight, but the coward didn't show up! I'm here to fight so if anyone wants to fight let's go!

Scud takes him up on that offer and Pendragon nearly regrets it! Scud lands on his feet after a overhead belly-to-belly and attacks with Scud Missile. A rolling plancha and Kamikaze Dive follow and Pendragon is reeling! Scud keeps up the break neck speed even hitting CRASH AND BURN almost getting the pin! Scud's luck ran out when Pendragon caught a flying Scud with a single leg kick. A hard lariat put down a hurt Scud. Pendragon grabbed the mic after the match.

Pendragon - That was a hell of a fight, son! You got something special! As I was saying, Avarice and me were supposed to tango tonight, well I guess it can wait for one more week!

Primeval Destruction vs. The Archangels

Exodus defeated Hybrid with WRAITH OF GOD at 11:17

Match Rating: 3.25

What looked like a total squash by Primeval Destruction turned into snatching victory from the jaws of defeat by the Archangels. Gabriel took a brutal beating early (5 tokens within 4 minutes) to make the hot tag to Exodus. Exodus goes toe to toe with both giants trading fists with Warfare and even kicking out of EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT! This turned the momentum of the match, Warfare needed to save Hybrid after JUDGEMENT DAY but couldn't do anything as his partner fell to WRAITH OF GOD.

- Regulators -

Our roving reporter wanted to get a few words with The Regulators about their upcoming match with The New School. What she got was another closed door argument between the three.

Scorch -So you heard that we have a huge match next week and your first thought was to challenge Totalis?

Hustler - I ain't wrestling him next week! Besides, I'm the number one contender, use it or lose it!

Esperanto - I just hope your head is in the game! You two got mopped up last week against the Oakens, they want blood!

Hustler - Yeah? Well so do I! From them, from Nes and from Totalis!

Scorch - Whatever, all I know is if you leave me high and dry again, I'll be coming for blood! Yours!

Darkseed vs. Nightmare

Nightmare defeated Darkseed with MINDBENDER at 9:46

Match Rating: 3.00

 The Hellraisers explode!
In a violent match that took place outside the ring as much as inside the former tag team partners do everything in their power to take the other one out. Both men had their moments - Nightmare worked over Darkseed's leg while the beast used his brute strength - but in the end it would be their Dominion partner who would decide the fate of the match.
As Nightmare and Darkseed battled outside the ring, Godsend slithered ringside keeping a low profile. Grabbing Darkseed's spiked mace Godsend swung with all his might at Nightmare. Being quicker has it's advantages and Nightmare ducks before Godsend connects, the devil instead cracking the skull of Darkseed! Nightmare thanks Godsend with a face full of mist! Picking up his bloodied former partner Nightmare gets the easy win with MINDBENDER.

Blackheart's Bigger Better Beach Party

05.18.2123 from The Rose Garden, Tarkania, Centra Prime 15,555

- What We See -

The return to Castle Rose beach was met with a few reasonable demands from the Board of Directors.

First, accommodations for fans who were willing to pay for seats needed to be made.
"This is a business after all." was an oft repeated line.
Elevated bleachers were brought in to surround the ringside area leaving small gaps for the VIP cabana's to view the action.

Second, a tent like structure was brought in to keep the ring out of direct sun light.
"Last time here the ring got so hot getting slammed on the mat felt like you were wrestling on the Lava Run Peninsula of Primus!" Scorch would say to anyone who listened. This obstructed the view of many of the yacht crowd who decided to take off for other destinations.
This infuriated the champion, making his claim of "bigger" and "better" untrue for his friends before the show began.

Witchdoctor vs. Scud

Scud wins via Disqualification - DEATH'S SPECTRUM at 5:25

Match Rating: 1.50

 Witchdoctor was frustrated at Scud's non-stop offense so much that with the first glimpses of offense he threw DEATH'S SPECTRUM in full view of the ref.

- The Syndicate -

The Amazing Mann and Shock Syndicate stand in front of an advertisement banner that says "This promo brought to you by Syndicate Tech".
It is unsure if Shock Syndicate are powered up for the promo.

The Amazing Mann - Last week you saw first hand what The Syndicate can do, Paganax. You may have a win over Flatliner but let's be honest, that's a technicality. You looked like anything but a winner, on the ground, gasping for air, unable to escape UNBREAKABLE! The same fate awaits you at Centra Clash, if you can find two people who can stand to team with you that is. You see I have no real interest in going one on one with you, I have plans for later in the evening, but if you want to get your hands on us you better play nice with two others. Good luck, sir.

- Backstage -

Darkseed wields his Spiked Mace wildly looking for Godsend everywhere.

"I know you're here!!!! Come out come out wherever you are!!!!!

- Non-Title -

Totalis vs. Nemean

Totalis defeated Nemean with FINAL ROUND at 17:43

Match Rating: 3.75

 The crowd was in the head of Totalis from the start with alternating "THEY" and "US" chants. This allowed Nemean to stay in the match longer than he should have honestly. As in their previous encounter Nemean refused to go down without a fight - at one point scratching and clawing his way out of the ring while in an ankle lock only to be dragged all the way back to the center of the ring to do it again! Two top rope leg drops to the head followed by FINAL ROUND did the job as Totalis grabs his title, covers his ears with the straps and hastily leaves.

- Darkseed -

Darkseed's backstage search has yielded no result so he decides to check the VIP cabanas. The sight of the 6'6 purple demon send rich people screaming and running for cover. Even the New School weren't safe! Darkseed climbs through a hole ripped in the wall by his mace screaming "Where is he?! Are you hiding him?!"
Caught off guard and a little afraid Avarice quickly answers "Not here! I wouldn't hide him!" Even the normally loud and obnoxious Nes Kincade just threw his hands up saying "good luck with your search!" as Darkseed stomped off.

Aspin Northstar and Lance At-Las vs. Sycophant and Master

Sycophant the Deviant defeated Lance At-Las with THE TOURNIQUET at 18:02

Match Rating: 3.25

 Both teams brought the fans along for a ride with this match, starting with Aspin's crescent kick to Painmaster that almost led to an immediate pin. Both teams got their shots in, Painmaster looking better than he has in a long time trading moves and counters with At-Las. Sycophant received most of the heat in the match bringing the action to a stand still with sleepers and long drawn out submission moves. Aspin wowed hitting FLASH OF BRILLIANCE twice but unable to get the three. Sycophant wins it with TOURNIQUET.

- Godsend Backstage (?) Interview -

Our roving reporter is traversing underneath the elevated bleachers, what she's searching for she doesn't even know.

Reporter - I received a note asking me to be at this location at this time. So far no one is here, I'll give it a few minutes and then I'm leaving, it doesn't feel right down here.

From the darkness a faint pssssst is heard. She quickly turns to see the horned head and red eyes of Godsend. Normally this sight would frighten anyone coming out of the dark, but Godsend was the hunted not the hunter.

Reporter - Are you the one who summoned me here?

Godsend - Shhhhh! Keep it down!

Reporter - (whispering) - Why did you request this time and... wait, have you been under here the whole show?

Godsend - (just above a whisper) No! If you haven't noticed a mace wielding maniac is after me, I've been on the move! I summoned you to challenge that back stabber Nightmare! I expected this from Darkseed, but not you! I thought you were smart enough to see the plan! I guess I'll have to beat it into you...preferably in a match where outside interference is impossible! I await your answer Nightmare!

Godsend looks all around then slinks away again into the darkness.

- Darkseed -

On the other end of the Beach Party near the make shift locker rooms Darkseed continues his search. His search ends when he comes face to face with The Vagabond Priest!

Shepard - I hear you're looking for a fight. Well look no further, I'm looking for one too!

Darkseed smiles and heads to the ring.

Darkseed vs. Shepard

Shepard defeated Darkseed with a Nomad Knee Drop at 5:31

Match Rating: 3.00

Shepard makes his way to the ring cool and calm, seeing a pacing beast waiting for him. He answers the opening bell and a charging Darkseed with a superkick that puts him in the corner. From there a modified Turnbuckle Tabernacle (Ten elbows to the face of a downed Darkseed) led to a pin of two. Shepard maintained control until a caught spinning back fist ended with a screaming headbutt from Darkseed.
The Vagabond Priest no sells it!

Shepard hits a huge Silver Bullet (running dropkick) that puts Darkseed on the ground. A Nomad Knee Drop stops Darkseed from getting up. A second Nomad Knee Drop gets the win for Shepard.

- Aegis Announcement -

On the Holo-Tron we see Aegis sitting in a chair behind his desk at his home office. Avarice does the same in his cabana with one leg over the arm of the chair, holding a huge gimmick remote. Aegis says nothing as Avarice looks on like an immature kid, barely hiding his smug grin.

Avarice - Go ahead Aegis, we're all waiting.

Aegis - ....

Avarice - Cat got your tongue?

 Aegis - As soon as I begin something is going to happen, I know it, you know it, we all know it.

Avarice - No not at all! We're all DYING to know what will happen at Centra Clash.

Aegis - ... Alright then. At Centra Clash we wi-

Avarice uses his over-sized remote to cut the feed "Ohh so sorry we're out of time! Hahahaha!

Nes Kincade and The Brothers Oaken vs. The Regulators

 Double Disqualification at 13:08

Match Rating: 2.75

The match is nearly thrown out before the ref can ring the bell! All six men brawl outside the ring and through the bleachers. Once the match starts Esperanto takes a beating from The New School, surviving COUPE DE GRACE, THE BRUISING, and MTFO! Esperanto finally makes a tag to Hustler and he and Nes go at it! The action again spills outside and the ref throws the match out.

AFTERMATH

The fight continues after the bell with all six men brawling. The New School take the upper hand with the assist from Totalis who attacks Hustler.
Then Kincade takes things too far! He grabs a bottle of Elixir from the New School cabana, brings it back to the ring and starts pouring it down Esperanto's throat! Esperanto tries to spit it out but Nes continues eventually emptying the bottle all over the Sheriff.

- Paganax needs a Friend -

Back in the locker room the Brigade discuss their match and what went wrong. To both of their surprise Paganax walks in and surveys the scene. Lance stands ready to fight. Paganax only says "I came for him." nodding towards Aspin. Lance protested, but Northstar calms him down and says it's ok. Paganax waits until he has the room then talks.

Paganax - I need a partner. You are tough. Wouldn't ask if not needed.

Aspin Northstar - I'll do it. Because that's what we do in The Six. We help. You should reconsider joining. I'm sure Mr. At-Las would be willing -

Paganax - No I will find someone else...somehow.

As if he was waiting for the opportunity, Scud pops up out of no where. He just smiles widely and points at himself nodding yes. Paganax looks him up and down and finally agrees walking off!

- Non-Title -

Avarice vs. Pendragon

Pendragon defeated Avarice with OVERTHROW at 3:42

Match Rating: Squash!

Pendragon DESTROYS the aCe champion! Six moves was all it took for Pendragon to get the win and embarrass Avarice in front of family, friends and fans. Pendragon stood over Avarice, dedicated this to every employee of Castle Rock, and left as soon as he came to a MONSTEROUS applause.

[Vanimal]

- Aegis -

Aegis had requested a press conference in the days following Avarice's latest "party".

Aegis - Good evening, we are nearly set for the Centra Clash coming live from the Mecatoid Megadome! We will, however, be taking a detour and wrestling a show at the R.O.C Barracks. These matches will have huge ramifications for the main event at Centra Clash.

Reporter - You've been trying to make an announcement in recent weeks about the Centra Clash, do these matches have anything to with the card presented? Also would you like to make your announcement here?

Aegis - Yes I have tried. Several times. At this point I will not be making the announcement. Thanks to Avarice the hype around the announcement has been huge and the aCe Board is more than happy with that. It is what it is. Now the wrestlers and fans will have to wait until we're in the Megadome to hear what will happen in the main event.

Reporter - What about Godsend's challenge to Nightmare with no interference from Darkseed?

Aegis- Darkseed will not interfere in the match at Centra Clash because he will get his hands on Godsend at our next show.

The crowd is buzzing at the announcement of this match. Aegis gives them a minute then continues.

Aegis - There will be no outside interference or shenanigan's during these matches because the only wrestlers present will be the ones scheduled for matches. Anyone not scheduled that would like to say something about an upcoming match may film a pre-tape, we will review it and see if it's suitable for air.

Last thing I will say - These upcoming matches matter for the Clash main event! The matches that take place at Centra Clash matter for the main event, up until we let everyone know what's going on, they will matter. Thank you and see you at the Barracks!

[Vanimal]

Battle at the Barracks

05.23.2123 from R.O.C Barracks

- What We See -

We return to the Barracks a different place then when we left it. The ROC has once again began training there and the once desolate island rocks with life! Cadets and soldiers of all rank enjoy the show from the makeshift arena/hangar.

Omni vs. Hustler

Hustler defeated Omni with SKULL CAP at 6:15

Match Rating: 2.50

 Omni dazzles in the opening minutes with his speed and high impact moves; Hustler, however, isn't in the mood. The former Blue Steel member intercepts Omni on a tope suicida and executes a Street Soldier Suplex on the floor. A Curb Jaw nearly ends it before SKULL CAP does the job.

After the match Hustler grabs a floating vid-cam and talks directly into it.

"Espo! Keep your head up! We're here for you! Hey Nes! You though I whooped that ass, just wait til the Sheriff get you! Totalis - "They" think I can beat you and take that Holovision title and guess what? "They" right!

- Scorch Pre-Tape -

Place - Regulators training facility

More akin to an old boxing gym than a performance center. Scorch sits on a folding chair in the middle of the ring, all alone, chomping on a cigar.

"I've seen some pretty scummy things in my life but what Nes Kincade did after our match to Esperanto is by far the scummiest! It's one thing to take your pound of flesh during a match, hell I understand getting your kicks in even after the bell, but when a man is trying to better himself and you take that away..."

Scorch takes a long puff of his cigar letting his words trail off.

"I requested a tag match at Centra Clash. Me and Esperanto vs. Nes and Avarice. It's been signed. It's happening. I haven't talked to Esperanto since your disgusting act, I don't know if he'll even show up. What I do know, is I'm gonna take my pound of flesh. And if the sheriff does show up, he'll take his too."

Shepard vs. Scud

Shepard defeated Scud with EXORCISM at 5:15

Match Rating: Squash

 A few attempts at grappling found Scud on the painful end of a chicken wing. He manages to wiggle out and tries a high hip toss. Offended but impressed, Shepard hits Scud with a stiff elbow. Scud decides he wants to try strong style and slaps Shepard's chest. Shepard responds with a double palm strike that put's Scud in the corner for a modified Turnbuckle Tabernacle (Violence Party).

From there The Vagabond Priest tore Scud a new one inside and out of the ring before ending it with a pretty potent EXORCISM (4).

Shepard is back!

- Mr. Bloat Pre-Tape -

Place: Centrapolis Prison

When hearing Mr. Bloat requested to be let out of his cell to film a promo on Peacemaker the aCe Board of Directors jumped through hoops to make it happen. Turns out Bloat swapped one cell for another.

"Does this look familiar to you, Peacemaker? This is where you use to call home!

I heard you scream here!

I heard you whimper here!

I heard you CRY here!

Now you don't even visit your home...but that's ok! (raising his razor fork) I'm gonna bring a little 'slice' of home to you! 'Home, Slice, Home!' Hahahaha!"

Ventross vs. Nemean

Nemean defeated Ventross with a Showbiz Super Twister Press at 8:29

Match Rating: 2.75

 The match starts with a fist bump but Ventross looks angry and disgruntled. As the bell rings Ventross goes for a big boot but Nemean slides under popping up with a running clothesline that doesn't move Ventross and hurts Nemean's arm.

From there Ventross takes over hitting devastating moves inside and outside the ring - even chokeslamming Nemean on a chair! A Ventross Vivisection looks like a win for the older Ravager but Nemean kicks out!

Ventross picks up Nemean for a blindside lariat and hits the ropes. Exhausted, Nemean falls before contact but manages a windup right hand that puts Ventross on his heels! Shocked, Nemean follows up with a Showbiz Blast (flying lariat to the back of the head) and gets a 2 count out of it. Nemean rides the wave getting a two count with a Showbiz Gut Buster before getting the upset with the Showbiz Super Twister Press!

- Paganax Pre-Tape -

Location - Castle Rock Beach

In the background, the main event to the Blackheart's BIgger Better Beach Party is going on. Paganax, Aspin Northstar, and Scud stand on an empty beach as night falls.

Paganax - Syndicate! I have three! You have three! Now one of us is gonna kick your heads off! Guess what! It's not these two!

Lance At-Las vs. Odyssey

Odyssey defeated Lance At-Las with CHRONOCHASM at 7:39

Match Rating: 3.00

 Odyssey matches Lance At-Las in his style of catch wrestling, surviving a WANDERER'S CLUTCH, even kicking out of MARS MANHANDLER after telegraphing a back body drop.

Odyssey takes control with wheel kicks tiring At-Las and ending it with CHRONOCHASM.

- Avarice Pre-Tape -

Although Avarice was scheduled for a pre-taped segment it turned out to be his attorney.

Attorney - My client would like it to be known that on the date of the Blackheart's Bigger Better Beach Party he was suffering from heat exhaustion from too much time in the sun, thus his performance in the main event. The fact that medical staff didn't see the signs and allowed this match to go on is a travesty. We ask that this match be stricken from the record as we look into any and all legal actions we may still take.

Darkseed vs. Godsend

Godsend defeated Darkseed with HELL'S THRESHOLD at 7:37

Match Rating: 3.00

 Godsend tries to explain himself to his former friend, saying it was all misunderstanding. Darkseed answers crushing Godsend with a backbreaker rack. From there it's a murderer's Row of Darkseed punishment - Infernal Force and Spiked Mace get a two count, while a spinebuster slam leads Godsend out of the ring.

In this time, Godsend gets his shots in but Darkseed ends up back in control.

Agility would be the Demon's downfall; he misses a clothesline off the ropes and ends up in a double clothesline with his former partner. Godsend recovers first and locks in HELL'S THRESHOLD. He gets the win and falls backwards gasping for air himself.

AFTERMATH

As both men are laid out Nightmare decides to answer. He appears from under the ring and slides in, surveys his "partners", and walks over to Godsend who has yet to move.

Nightmare reaches in his jacket pocket and pulls out a staple gun. From his other pocket he pulls out a piece of paper and staples it to Godsend's chest. Godsend screams in pain as Nightmare walks off. The camera gets closer to read the note, the white paper turning red with blood.

- What We See -
The Mecatoid Megadome is part gothic architecture, part futuristic marvel, all glass dome. The outside of the Megadome was designed to look like an imposing gothic cathedral leaning into the King Moon's reputation of being cursed and haunted. Once in the arena concourse it's glass for as far as the eye can see -  you can't tell where the dome ends and the sky begins. Video replays are shown directly on the dome glass, a sight to see from anywhere in the arena!

Primeval Destruction vs. The Archangels vs. Sycophant and Master
Warfare pins PainMaster after EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT at 14:13
Match Rating: 2.75

 Centra Clash starts with the utter destruction of the Archangels and S&M! Primeval Destruction mow down all four men in devastating fashion even using their opponents as weapons against their other opponents! The match only lasted as long as it did because Sycophant kept breaking up pin attempts just to get beaten on more! By the time E.L.E was dished out Sycophant could barely move let alone save his partner. Primeval Destruction will get another shot at the Brothers Oaken.



- Got Your Six? -
Lance At-Las stood backstage preparing to be interviewed about the announcement of Aegis later tonight. Just as the first question was asked Ventross interrupted.

Ventross -You know it's funny, I was so worried about Aspin getting hurt in his match with Paganax and for what? Here he is teaming with him, all buddy buddy, cutting promos on the beach having a good ol' time.

Lance At-Las - I understand how you feel, but hear me out. He did what he thought you would do in that situation. What any of us in The Six would do if asked. He didn't come to this decision lightly. He respects you, Ventross.

Ventross - Yeah? Funny way to show it.

Before things get any tenser, Ventross' theme music began to play and the Ravager walks off.


Pendragon vs. Ventross
Ventross defeated Pendragon with MERCY KILLING at 13:27
Match Rating: 4.25

 With the exception of a big boot from Ventross to start the match, Pendragon was in control for the first five minutes. It wasn't until the action spilled to the floor that Ventross made his mark hitting Severed Ties on top of the announcers table out of desperation. The action continued both inside and outside the ring, both men taking extremely dangerous moves (Ventross taking a Pendragon Suplex on the exposed concrete; Pendragon being crushed by a leaping tombstone on the floor). The Vivisection wore down the former aCe champion until a Vicious Onslaught had Pendragon out on his feet. One MERCY KILLING later and Ventross deals Pendragon his second loss to date.

- Peacemaker's Promise -
Backstage Peacemaker is asked about the promo from Mr. Bloat at Battle of the Barracks.

Peacemaker -All Bloat has left is intimidation. He knows the hour is at hand where he must go toe to toe with me and that thought scares him to death. Tonight I take the Battlefield title and I promise this: Bloat will hear the Peacemaker's Oath before crashing down to the ring!



Paganax, Aspin Northstar, and Scud vs. The Amazing Mann and Shock Syndicate
Flatliner defeated Scud with SHOCK AND AWE at 18:03
Match Rating: 3.75

For a random team, Paganax, Aspin Northstar and Scud work really well together. Paganax starts the match with Holocaust and takes control early. Holocaust manages to tag in Flatliner who fares better against the Lava King forcing the Red Man to tag out at his earliest opportunity. Northstar and Flatliner have a fast and agile battle no one would have believed in 2121. Eventually the last two men see some action with The Amazing Mann bettering Scud at every turn. Paganax manages to tag back in and the crowd goes nuts for the Heathen Chief and Amazing Mann. Great back and forth action with Mann slipping out of Face Smothering and escaping what would have been a decimating chokeslam. Amazing! The action spills outside the ring with all six men getting involved, stereo tope suicidas from Aspin and Scud to Shock Syndicate get a "This is classic!" chant from the crowd.
Paganax takes punishment from all of the Syndicate before making the hot tag to Aspin Northstar. Northstar clears house before nearly decapitating Holocaust with double roundhouse kicks stopping to look at Paganax and yell "I kicked his f'n head off!"
Scud is back in connecting with a somersault dropkick before Holocaust blocks an arm drag takedown before hitting Shock to the System with Flatliner who quickly follows up with SHOCK AND AWE. The Syndicate block Paganax and Northstar from breaking up the pin and get the win.

AFTERMATH
The Syndicate decide celebrating in the aisle is wiser than in the ring. Aspin helps Scud to his feet as Paganax comes over grabs both their arms and raises them high, the fans giving this motley crew a standing ovation.



Godsend vs. Nightmare
Nightmare defeated Godsend with MINDBENDER at 5:21
Match Rating: 2.00

aCe Holovision Championship
Totalis vs. Hustler
 Totalis defeated Hustler with FINAL ROUND at 9:11
Match Rating: 3.50

 Totalis attacks Hustler before he can step foot into the ring but Hustler fights his way in. They exchange fists, elbows, and knees until Totalis tries to actually wrestle taking Hustler off his feet with a arm drag takedown. Hustler responds by getting up and bitch slapping Totalis! The fight rages on with Hustler getting a two count after a Street Soldier Suplex. Hustler debates Pistol Whipping the fool but reconsiders out of fear of a DQ. This cost him as Totalis takes over getting a two with FINAL ROUND.
From there Totalis is in charge until missing a running spear that ends with two curb jaws in a row! Taking a huge gamble outside the ring, Hustler puts Totalis on the announcers table and climbs to the top turnbuckle. He jumps off with an elbow but Totalis moves and Hustler crashes through! Totalis manages to get Hustler back in the ring, hits FINAL ROUND and gets the pin.



Scorch and Esperanto vs. Avarice and Nes Kincade
Esperanto defeated Avarice with DEAD MAN'S HAND at 13:05
Match Rating: 3.00

Scorch comes out alone ready to fight making Avarice and Nes double over in laughter. The Blackheart wouldn't be laughing for long, he gets popped in the nose just as the bell rings. Scorch takes it to Avarice and the champ is reeling. Kincade uses the two on one to his advantage superkicking Scorch and getting Avarice out of a gut wrench. It's all New School, making quick tags and punishing Scorch. Kincade throws Scorch to the outside when Esperanto's music hits! Fans go nuts as the sheriff saunters his way to the ring. Scorch pulls Nes out of the ring ramming him into a ring post. He crawls in the ring and makes the tag!
Esperanto immediately takes it to Kincade on the floor roughing him up good. A fan gives him a beverage that Espo takes a swig of and spits in Kincade's face before punching him with it. Sadly another fan gives Esperanto a drink that he just downs.
Avarice manages to tag in but The Regulators would not be denied! The Blackheart survives THE TRAILBLAZER thanks to Nes but Esperanto drops him with The Painkiller
(face-first uranage). Scorch and Espo hook up for a sloppy SPECIAL FORCES that Avarice kicks out of. Avarice takes his third finisher in a row and this time stays down.

PEACEMAKER IS GOING TO BATTLE OF CENTRA!

[Justin Case]

Peacemaker with the big win! Impressive! Little surprised Amazing Mann went out so quick, but that's how it goes sometimes! looking forward to more goodness to come!

[Vanimal]

I felt the same way about Amazing Mann. I had this plan where he would pull off incredible ways to remain in the match (the Kofi Kingston spot basically) but he ran into the Ravagers and that was the end of that. What can you do! Thanks for checking in!

[Vanimal]

- Post Centra Clash Interviews and Merch Movers -

Aegis - I'd like to begin by sending my congratulations out to Peacemaker on winning the Battlefield title and winning the Clash Rumble in dominant fashion. That was a hell of a showing. Also before taking questions I'd like to announce that regardless of what Peacemaker chooses as the Battlefield rules he will defend the title at Syndicate Slam against either Odyssey or Omni, the best of seven will conclude within the next three shows.

Media - According to the press release for the Clash Rumble there were supposed to be 10 wrestlers, how did it end up being 12?

Aegis - Win/Loss records were taken into account all the way up until the Rumble started. After the win tonight by Ventross I felt he should be included, he beat the man with the best record in aCe. I took my case to the Board. The only hiccup was Lance At-Las had the same record. The Board decided that partners facing off to start, especially partners with a little tension, would make for good entertainment. They weren't wrong.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Media - Aegis says you and Ventross were entered into the Rumble do to the tension growing in The Six, anything to say to that.

Lance At-Las - In a group like ours you're going to get a lot of personalities. Sometimes things may get said, things may get heated but we're together for the good of aCe and that hasn't changed. The Six are fine.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Media - Tough losses tonight, Totalis seems to have gotten the better of you twice.

Hustler - What can I say, it wasn't my night. I took some risks I shouldn't have. I bet it all on black, spun the wheel and it came up red. It happens. Me and Totalis ain't done. I'm gonna fight my way back.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scud - Wow this is so cool! I haven't been asked to do one of these yet! What are these things. (starts swatting at flying mics, vid cams, and recorders)

Media - That's our equipment.

Scud - Wicked!

Media - You didn't come away with the win but got acknowledgement from Paganax, how do you feel about that.

Scud - That was so cool. He's the man. I mean I know he'll probably kick my head off the next time I see him, but tonight was awesome.

Media - We hear you may be getting your own shirt soon

Scud - Yeah it was a good match. Wait what??

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Amazing Mann - After a dominating performance in the trios match, the fans get more than their money's worth getting to see me compete AGAIN. What happens? Ventross takes a cheap shot, hitting me from behind and eliminating me, robbing the galaxy of seeing The Amazing Mann in the main event of Battle of Centra! This disrespect will not stand! I know where my next stop on the UNBREAKABLE TOUR will be!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Media - You find yourself back as number one contenders to the aCe tag team titles. What do plan on doing differently to avoid ending up in the same situation as before?

Warfare - Falls:: gasp:: count ::gasp::anywhere!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Media - Great showing tonight for you two, and what had to be an emotional match for you, Esperanto.

Esperanto - I don't want to talk about what that coward Kincade did. Just know I ain't done with him.

Media - Does that mean you've fallen off the wagon?

Esperanto - What part of I ain't talkin about that don't you understand?

Media - You guys look pretty good as a team, any plans to continue to team?

Scorch looks at Esperanto slyly - Well I know that I'm up -

Before he could finish his thought he and Esperanto were blindsided by the Oakens! After immobilizing the Regulators, Donk picks up Scorch and powerbombs him through the media table while Rorus throws Esperanto into the concrete wall knocking him unconscious. Adding insult to injury, Rorus picks up a limp Esperanto and grinds his head into the concrete wall leaving smears of blood! The Oakens make some incoherent threats before leaving.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It takes thirty minutes to reset the media room for more interviews. Nightmare walks in and looks at the media personnel then goes off! He launches the aCe stationary mic off the table into the wall, then flips the media table. Next he starts plucking recorders out of the air hurling them at the wall. Nightmare looks menacingly at the media people before walking out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nes Kincade and the attorney of Avarice enter the media room. The attorney reads from a prepared statement.

"Mr. Avarice is contesting the finish of the match involving himself, Mr. Kincade and the two gentlemen from the Regulator team, Mr. Esperanto and Mr. Scorch. Mr. Esperanto failed to be present at the opening bell and thus should be disqualified from competition. We are looking into any legal action that may be taken."

The attorney walks out of the room on that note. Nes steps up to the table doesn't take any questions, just makes one comment.

Kincade - Funny how Aegis pleads to the Board for more schlubs to enter the rumble and one just so happens to be his best friend...wonder if he'd do that for us...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Media - That was an amazing performance tonight, congratulations on both your wins.

Peacemaker - Thank you I appreciate the kind words, but I'm just getting started. The Battlefield title is step one, the aCe title is step two but I'll focus on that when the time comes. I don't want anyone to think I'm disrespecting the Battlefield championship. Just the opposite. I plan to get to work right away!

Media - Any way you will let us know what the rules for your reign will be?

Peacemaker - Sorry, you'll have to tune in to Showtime! from Southern Sun to find out!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Showtime! at Southern Sun

06.04.2123 from Southern Sun Memorial Hall Centrapolis, Centra Prime 7,420

- What We See -

Southern Sun attracts the most loyal and hardcore fans from Centra Prime. They are a great gauge for what the fans want and they show that through banners and signs. Popular banners this time around are "THEY're here!", "I AM THE LAVA KING", and surprisingly "This is the New School". Paganax signs abound as do "Army of One", "Fork U" and "Welcome to your Nightmare!" are some of the more surprising.

Scud vs. Nemean

Scud defeated Nemean with CRASH AND BURN at 7:00

Match Rating: 2.50

 Scud dazzles Nemean early with his incredible speed and high impact moves. Nemean manages to turn a flying body scissors into an incredible spinning backbreaker and it looks like he swings the tide of the match. Scud gets shot into the ropes and bounces off with a flying shoulder tackle that takes down the bigger Ravager. Scud plays to the crowd who cheer wildly. Infuriated, Nemean charges Scud but gets taken down by a drop toe-hold into the turnbuckle with a somersault dropkick to boot! One CRASH AND BURN later and Scud gets a shocking win!

- Backstage -

Aspin Northstar confronts his partner Ventross.

Northstar - Ventross, sir? I just want to say I meant no disrespect doing what I did and teaming with Paganax at Centra Clash. I was just trying to uphold the ideas of The Six. I did what I thought you would do, sir.

Ventross - You're a grown man, Aspin, you don't owe me an explanation. I shouldn't have treated you like a kid. But know The Shock Syndicate have you in their sights, and Paganax doesn't give a damn about you. You're on your own.

Lance At-Las - No, he's not! He's got The Six! Let's go Aspin!

At-Las and Ventross exchange a look before The Brigade head to the ring.

Aspin Northstar and Lance At-Las vs. Shock Syndicate

Aspin Northstar defeated Holocaust via Count Out at 9:42

Match Rating: 3.25

 For not teaming a whole lot in 2123, The Brigade look like a solid unit. Aspin survives an early SHOCK AND AWE to make a comeback and tag in At-Las. He gets a two count from a Nomad Knee Drop and a MARS MANHANDLER. Flatliner sees the writing on the wall and breaks up the WANDERER'S CLUTCH. Undeterred, At-Las again hits MARS MANHANDLER but a loud smoke bomb goes off in the ring stunning everyone. In the smoke a commotion is going on - as it starts to clear we see Lance struggling in UNBREAKABLE! Ventross runs out into the ring and The Amazing Mann abandons the hold leaving the ring and seemingly running through the crowd, Ventross takes off after him as the smoke dissolves and the match continues.

The end has Northstar in charge sending Holocaust to the floor. In a daredevil high risk move, Aspin Northstar hits FLASH OF BRILLIANCE on the ringside floor! Holocaust can't meet the 20 count and The Brigade win!

AFTERMATH

As the ref rings the bell The Amazing Mann hops out from underneath the ring and yanks At-Las hard to the floor. Jumping in the ring he locks in UNBREAKABLE on Aspin Northstar synching it in deep. Officials finally pull The Amazing Mann off who is showered in boos.

Exodus vs. Godsend

Godsend defeated Exodus via Disqualification at 7:48

Match Rating: 2.00

 An early back and forth goes to Exodus who stays in control for most of the match. WRATH OF GOD and Heavenly Barrage get two counts but Godsend is in trouble. Godsend blocks a flipping lariat attempt with an elbow strike but Exodus absorbs it turning it into a Flight Kick. Some more back and forth ends with Godsend at the mercy of Exodus who looks ready to end it. Out of no where Nightmare slides in the ring and attacks Godsend!

AFTERMATH

The ref rings the bell for the DQ as Exodus pleads but it's too late! The ref awards the match to Godsend! When Nightmare finally comes up for air he's met by WRAITH OF GOD courtesy of Exodus. The announcement is made that Exodus has been disqualified through no fault of his own!

- You're Invited... -

A close up of Paganax sitting on a throne stationed near the base of Mt. Ragnarok, the last vestige of the kingdom once ruled by the Lava King. For the first time in years, Paganax looks regal, like the Heathen Chief he use to be. Two words are all he needs.

"I'm Waiting!"

The camera pans back to see an intimate arena carved out of rock below the throne area of Mt. Ragnarok!

- HEATSEEKERS -

The micro-drones fly in on their next target finding themselves outside the newly redone Thirsty Neighbor Pub. Getting in through open windows, doors and pipes the micro-drones find their person. Esperanto sits with a bandaged head from the Oaken assault, alone at the bar, bottle of Elixir and shot glass sitting in front of him. The HEATSEEKERS film him but keep their distance watching the man pour his own shots.

Hustler and Scorch vs. The Brothers Oaken

Donk Oaken defeated Scorch with THE BRUISING at 11:22

Match Rating: 3.00

 Hustler wants to start the match but Scorch isn't having it attacking Donk right away. Things quickly end up outside the ring with chair shots galore. Hustler gets his licks in too, Pistol Whipping Donk outside the ring. The brawl inevitably turns in favor of the tag champs with Donk beating Scorch with a second helping of THE BRUISING.

- Peacemaker sets the rules -

Peacemaker slaps hands with the fans as he makes his way to the ring to lay out the rules for the Battlefield title.

"This title will be defended at every opportunity I can defend it. I want this championship to be a beacon of hope for everyone in the aCe. An equal opportunity. If you think you have the stuff, then by all means, lets fight! You, the fans, will be my jury! When a challenger presents themselves I will give a thumbs up and a thumbs down. If you think they are deserving or you just want to see them take PEACEMAKER'S OATH, you let me know with cheers. To those in the back be warned, if you fail to take this title off of me, you go to the back of the line! So who will it be? Who's first to challenge for the Battlefield title?"

Peacemaker waited a few seconds until the heavy metal music hit. Darkseed comes out wildly wielding his mace! Peacemaker raises his fist in the air with his thumb perfectly in the middle. He tilts it up and the fans go nuts wanting to see these two collide! Darkseed wastes no time sprinting to the ring!

aCe Battlefield Title

Peacemaker vs. Darkseed

 Peacemaker defeated Darkseed with a Flying Body Splash at 15:48

Match Rating: 4.75

No one expected this hoss fight to bang as hard as it did but the boys delivered! Neither would let the other get the upper hand for long, each man unable to get more than two moves in at a time. Things went back and forth the majority of the match until Peacemaker changed course and climbed the turnbuckle, jumping off with a body splash for the win.

Peacemaker celebrates a hard fought win as we go off the air.
