Valour's aCe

[Fringe]

For the last week posters have been spotted around the tent camp set up for the Survivors of Centra. The posters announce that a gathering is scheduled, organized by The Amazing Mann and Nemean, and will relate to All Centra Entertainment wrestling.....


Present time....

The Survivors of Centra have all come together. The Amazing Mann and Nemean stand before the gathering. On each side of them stand the remaining members of what was once the popular wrestling federation....


Nemean "A lot has gone down in the last few months. There's a couple different views on where we go from here. While I respect those who are searching for answers and are trying to figure out a way to fight back against Neuromancer and the SYNboT's, it may be a long time before that is possible. At some point, we have to move on. Now think what you want about what we should do, but look around us also. How long are we going to live in these tents? How long until we run out of food? How long do we sit and wait? I say we start over. Right here today!"

Amazing Mann "Look people, we're not saying we won't ever be able to make it back to our homes, but we cannot keep living like this either. Let's rebuild and if there comes a time in the future when the ROC and the Ravagers figure out a way to defeat the SYNboT's, then we will fight and reclaim our homes."

Peacemaker, finally stepping forward, "I thought you two said this was going to be about All Centra Entertainment."

Nemean "Yes, it is. You see as we rebuild, the Amazing Mann and myself have been talking and we don't want aCe to die. We want to provide all of you with entertainment. We want to give everyone something to help us all keep going."

Amazing Mann "Nemean and I are willing to organize events and keep aCe alive. And all shows will be free and open to everybody here that left behind Centra for the safety of Primus. It may not be as flashy as before right off the back, but we're confident that we can make it here on our new home. Rebuild and start over with our lives. I can look ahead and see a time when a city stands here and it's prosperous. There will be jobs and money flowing again and an aCe show, with it's pyro back and lighting and grand entrances, will be the place to be."

Man in the crowd "I could use a good night of wrestling!"

Another man speaks up "It'd be a good way to get our minds off all the chaos!"

Nemean "That's what we're talking about. Who else?"

A woman "My son loves you guys. He's missed watching the wrestlers!"

The few voices then begin to turn into a rumbling....

Peacemaker "Ok, you two have convinced me. I hereby put you two in charge of aCe for the time being. It would be something positive with so much going on lately. I just want everyone to know that the ROC, the Ravagers, the Regulators, myself, we won't give up finding a way to counter Neuromancer and the SYNboT's. While we figure that out though, I think I speak for us all, we'd love to entertain you people."


From behind the crowd, another man speaks up....

Avarice "Well look here. So plans to start back up aCe are underway. Let me remind you all, that I was champion when the fed got shutdown. You can't start aCe back up without your champion."

Peacemaker "You have some nerve showing up here. We know you've aligned yourselves with the Neuromancer."

Avarice "I have. While all you filthy rats are living in these tents fearful of the SYNboT's, I line my pockets with cash and go where I please and do what I want. I've been sent here to finish you losers off."

Peacemaker "That's going to be hard seeing you're by yourself."

Avarice "Hardly."

The rest of the New School as well as the Syndicate team pop around some tents.

Avarice "Now we could draw weapons and let panic ensue between these mere common folk or we could do this in the ring. You want your hands on us and we've been sent to get our hands on you. Your call."

Nemean, bouncing forward, "The battle lines are drawn! The return of aCe coming forward! See your favorites such as the Peacemaker and the rest of the ROC as well as the Ravagers step into the ring with the evil Syndicate and the greedy New School. aCe is STARTING OVER! Do not miss it!"

Peacemaker "So be it. We'll see you in the ring soon."








Coming Up! The first aCe card in 10 months!

Forget the bright lights, forget the flashy pyro, forget the loud music!

This is the new reality.

Either do nothing or begin STARTING OVER!

[Biggin]

You are a hype-machine, bro. The intro to your aCe restart has got me on the edge of my seat. Bring on the matches!

[glow=beige,3,300]STARTING OVER[/glow]
From the Primus Stadium (formerly the Syndicate Stadium)
3/21/2125





aCe CHAMPIONSHIP
(C) AVARICE vs. THE AMAZING MANN
Avarice was champion when aCe was shut down and with the restart will still be recognized as the current champion. While Amazing Mann has beaten Avarice in the past, he has still yet to beat Avarice with the famous UNBREAKABLE finisher. The two have had epic encounters in the past. You won't want to miss this match, the first aCe Championship match in 10 months.



PRIMUS DEATH MATCH
PEACEMAKER vs. SYCOPHANT
You used to know the match as the Centra Death Match. Same match, new name. Anything goes as Peacemaker makes his return to a wrestling ring for the first time since the attempted assassination. His opponent is the man who tried to murder him and the head of the Syndicate wrestling team, Sycophant.



TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
PAGANAX vs. GODSEND vs. VALOUR
Godsend and Valour both come after Paganax for the Power of Primus for their own reasons. This fact also put them at odds with each other though. Which one of these three wrestlers will walk away victorious?



TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
(C) ARCHANGELS vs. PRIMEVAL DESTRUCTION
The ArchAngels are still being recognized as the champions. Their first time defnding the titles in the restart of aCe won't be easy though as they take on the brutal team of Primeval Destruction in a match that's sure to entertain.



NES KINCADE vs. VENTROSS
The New School has been sent to take care of the Ravagers. With Avarice having to defend the aCe Championship, this puts Nes Kincade in charge of taking on Ravager leader Ventross.



REGULATOR vs. BLUE STEEL
The Regulators get their hands on the Blue Steel and they plan to make them pay for not only ending Esperanto's career but for stealing food from the Survivors of Centra after the SYNboT attacks. How will new Regulator, Twist, fare in his debut match?



NEMEAN vs. SCUD
Former teammates go head to head. Nemean was the last Holovision Champion, while Scud seems to be controlled by his armor now. Look for a fast paced match with these two superstars.



ZETA GREY vs. FRINGE
While Zeta Grey doesn't talk, he seems to be thrilled that the Ravagers asked him to join their team and is willing to help however he can. Can he use his powers to get inside the head of Fringe? The conspiracy theorist, Fringe, makes his wrestling debut. What can we expect to see from this new star?



TABLES MATCH
SOLDIERS OF PROPHECY vs. SHOCK SYNDICATE
The show will kick off with a bang in a Syndicate vs. ROC battle. Pendragon and Aspin Northstar couldn't wait and neither could we. Be at the Stadium early because you won't want to miss this Tables match!

[du5tin]

All I can say is... SOLID!

[glow=beige,3,300]STARTING OVER[/glow]
From the Primus Stadium (formerly the Syndicate Stadium)
3/21/2125

Nemean heads out to the ring...

Nemean "Thank you for showing up for a great night of wrestling and entertainment! It's been a long time since the last show but now with the Showmen running things, this first show is only the beginning of the full-time return of ALL CENTRA ENTERTAINMNET! We are STARTING OVER! Enjoy, everyone!"


Meanwhile backstage Corporal Aegis and Ventross are meeting...

Aegis "Can you believe Nemean out there. If only he knew. Anyways, what's the damage?"

Ventross "The ship took a heavy blow. It's going to take some time. It may be awhile before we can get it back up and running. Thankfully, everyone bought the turbulence story. No one is questioning it. The problem is with communications down, I can't contact the Ravager Mothership. They are scheduled to meet us here coming up. However, the problem is they don't know he's back. They could be facing an ambush when they come."

Aegis "And you're sure it was....him."

Ventross "Yeah it was him. We're safe here now though. He knows he hit us and that we're not going anywhere. Like I said, the ambush on the Mothership is the problem. He can't face the ship head on, but when they land he could scoop in and board the ship overtaking all those on board that way. As long as the Survivors of Centra stay here they'll be fine at the Stadium. Our forces will go out and fend off the ambush"

Aegis "What about Neuromancer? Do you think they're working together?"

Ventross "Unsure right now. If so, I'd imagine he intends to bring us back to Centra Prime where we'd be enslaved by the SYNboT's. If not, well, then we have two problems. Him and Neuromancer."

Aegis "Just great. Alright, I'll let my team know. We'll meet back up soon."

-----

TABLES MATCH
SHOCK SYNDICATE def. SOLDIERS OF PROPHECY
Pendragon was the first to go through a table. Holocaust rams him head-first through the wood which busts Pendragon open. Another attempt to send Pendragon through a table is reversed and Holocaust is whipped through a table instead. Flatliner takes the two flourescent light bulb covered tables that Shock Syndicate brought with them and stacks them on top of one another inside the ring. Flatliner splashes Aspin Northstar through the two tables. Holocaust then uses SHOCKWAVE (+4) on Aspin Northstar and makes the cover.

-----

ZETA GREY def. FRINGE
Fringe makes his first in-ring appearance, but not much is seen from him this match as Zeta Grey takes the decisive victory after using SHADES OF GREY.

-----

Nemean is out for his match but it looks like he's going to say something first...

Nemean "Now before we start the next match involving Scud and myself, I have a surprise for the fans. Yes, the return of.....THE NEMEAN SHOW! I am your host with the upmost.....your ray of hope when you can't cope....the heart of All Centra Entertainment's new start......Nemean! And on this return of the Nemean Show I'm going to interview none other than my opponent for tonight....Scud!"

Scud makes his way to the ring. He enters and stares at Nemean with seemingly no emotion at all...

Nemean "Hello, McFly! Anybody home? Scud, can you hear me or are you completely being run by that suit of armor?"

No answer...

Nemean "Nothing fans. It's almost sad really, because I'm going to have to give him a beating and it's not even him really defending himse...."

Scud "Wait."

Nemean looks at Scud with confusion...

Scud "Nemean, I have something to tell you. I haven't been being controlled by this suit. Not at all. This is me, Scud. I was behind getting Amazing Mann captured on Centrapolis. I made a deal with Neuromancer. And I plan on bringing the both of you back to Centra Prime to him. This time though, the Amazing Mann won't escape."

Nemean "Wait, what? Scud?"

Scud "Oh you cocky arrogant jerk. Don't act so surprised. Back when aCe was still running and the Showmen were still the four us - Amazing Mann, Nemean, Totalis, and me - Totalis and myself had been plotting to turn our backs on Amazing Mann and you. Totalis knew you two were going to stab us in the backs first. It was obvious to me too. You always left us behind while Mann and you went out to some big A-list party. Driving in your limos with models and drinking your fine wines. Never once did you ask me to join you guys. No, you guys left us behind. You put us in an embarassing team named Double Penetration and made us go to the ring and make complete fools of ourselves. Well, Totalis left when the fed shut down and never got his revenge. Not me though. I've waited for the chance and then Neuromancer gave it to me. Now it's my time to get my revenge. Once I bring you two back to Neuromancer, I'll be the famous one. The one drinking the wines, driving in the cars, and making out with the ladies, while the two of you work the slave fields of the New Centrapolis!"

Nemean "You son of a....."

Scud dropkicks Nemean out of the blue and the match is on...





NEMEAN def. SCUD
The huge revelation is made by Scud but it's Nemean that, in an anger, dominates the match. Nemean hits the SEASON FINALE and gets the pinfall. Immediately after, Nemean mounts Scud and begins choking him. The Shock Syndicate run to the ring and pull Scud out of the ring by his feet though. Nemean watches on as the Shock Syndicate then carry off Scud.

-----

BLUE STEEL def. REGULATORS
We see the first of new Regulator, Twist, in this match. However, Twist and Scorch aren't able to defeat the Blue Steel. Mack Calibur gets the win for his team after a legdrop to the groin of Twist.

After the match, Hustler holds Twist while Calibur attempts to hit him with Glass Knucks. Scorch enters the ring and nails Calibur with a TRAILBLAZER while Hustler bails out of the ring.

-----

VENTROSS def. NES KINCADE
Ventross gets the upper hand on the New School's Nes Kincade. Kincade kicks out of one MERCY KILLING but then Ventross hits Severed Ties and uses the MERCY KILLING again.

-----

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
(C) ARCHANGELS def. PRIMEVAL DESTRUCTION
The two sides take turns controlling the match. A powerbomb on Exodus by Warfare at ringside almost gets the Angels counted out. Then a little later, it's the PD team that almost loses by count out after Gabriel flips over the top rope and lands on Warfare outside of the ring. Hybrid saves Warfare from being pinned next after the ArchAngel's JUDGEMENT DAY finisher. Soon after, Gabriel makes the pin on Warfare after Kingdom Come.

-----

TRIPLE THREAT
VALOUR def. PAGANAX and GODSEND
Valour and Godsend battle for who gets the offense on Paganax during much of this 5 star match. Everytime Godsend goes for his finishers on Paganax, Valour is there to attack Godsend while every time Valour executes a finisher, Godsend is there to attack Valour. The constant battling for supremacy between the two allows Paganax to take control at one point and he clears the ring. PAGAN VOID on Valour. Godsend with the save. Paganax takes care of Godsend but when he turns back around he runs right into a Valour Thrust.

-----

PRIMUS DEATH MATCH
PEACEMAKER def. SYCOPHANT
Peacemaker goes right for Sycophant. The action spills outside the ring where Peacemaker is completely whooping Sycophant. Sycophant finally makes his move and is able to escape Peacemaker for a second. Sycophant's breather doesn't last long as Peacemaker is right back on him. Peacemaker drills Sycophant with the PEACEMAKER'S POWERBOMB (Peacemaker is no longer saying his OATH) outside of the ring and then tosses him back in for the pin.

Peacemaker is announced as the winner. At hearing his name announced, Peacemaker asks for the mic...

Peacemaker "It's been a long time since I had a match and it felt good being out here tonight. Next time though, announce me with my real name, Tiber Callisto. The reason is because there is NO TIME FOR PEACE right now. I'm here for war. War against the man who tried to kill me, Sycophant, like I showed tonight. War against the man that sent him the orders, Neuromancer. War against the rest of the Syndicate team and the greedy New School. It's time to fight! It wouldn't be right for me to continue to use my former ring name at this time, not until business is taken care of and order restored on Centra Prime. And to my teammate, Painmaster, I know you wanted to be the one to get your hands on Sycophant tonight. Don't worry though, I took it easy on him and there's plenty more left of him for next time."

Out comes Nemean....

Nemean "Tiber Callisto, I like it. It's very fitting given the current times. And no time for peace, you say? I like that too. In fact, in two weeks, that will be the name of our next event. NO TIME FOR PEACE! And after talking with Amazing Mann, we've agreed that you should get the next title shot. Whether it be against Avarice or Amazing Mann should he win tonight, Tiber Callisto will wrestle the winner for the aCe Championship!"

-----

aCe CHAMPIONSHIP
(C) AVARICE def. THE AMAZING MANN
Just as in the past, we get a classic encounter between Avarice and The Amazing Mann. Amazing Mann tries to work Avarice into a submission but Avarice is able to walk out still champion after executing the 7TH SIN. The fans are booing pretty heavily, and the Oaken Brothers come out to guard Avarice as they exit.

Amazing Mann takes a mic while the fans give him an standing ovation...

Amazing Mann "Guys, don't worry. I may not have been able to take the aCe Championship from Avarice tonight, but his time is coming. As Nemean already announced, the two of us have decided that Tiber Callisto will get the next title shot. Since Avarice slimed his way out of here with the win tonight, in two weeks you'll see Avarice vs. Tiber Callisto for the aCe Championship at NO TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you all for joining us! Goodnight!

[Mr. Beefy]

Nice to see some aCe action!

[Fringe]

One week later...



With the Survivors of Centra now making home at the Primus Stadium, the RoC and the Ravagers make their way back to the original location of the tent city. Finding cover, they wait for the Ravager Mothership and the anticipated ambush by "Him". After several hours of waiting, a black dot appears in the far distance. The dot grows larger as the Mothership approaches. Arriving as Ventross had expected, the Mothership prepares to make it's landing. Then more ships are seen quickly approaching to the area. Again as Ventross had planned, they are rogue Ravager Fighterships...


Ventross "Here He comes. It looks like he has 12 or 13 others with him!"

Aegis "Hold steady troops! Wait for my command!"


The Ravager Mothership lands and the loading ramp begins to lower. In swoops the Fighterships. With rapid speed, they land right near the loading ramp of the Mothership. Out jumps Nicodemus and his troops from the ships...


Aegis "Now!"

Nicodemus "Dammit! They've been waiting!"


Nicodemus' troops commence fire with the RoC/Ravager force. Nicodemus jumps back into his fighter and zooms off in the direction of Centra Prime...


Painmaster "He's getting away!"

Ventross "There's nothing we can do! We have to fight off his troops!"


After several minutes of battle, the troops of Nicodemus bail out. They head to their Fighters and quickly make their exit.

Applause reigns among the Roc/Ravager force...


Aspin Northstar "We did it!"

Ventross "Alright, alright! Everybody calm down! We've protected the Mothership, but Nicodemus will be back. Next time, he'll be ready for us also."

Peacemaker "Do we tell the others back at the stadium?"

Ventross "For right now....no. But soon enough, we will have no choice."

From the Primus Stadium
04/04/2125





aCe CHAMPIONSHIP
(C) AVARICE vs. TIBER CALLISTO
Tiber Callisto is no longer willing to make peace. Callisto is ready for war. Returning to the ring, winning the aCe Championship would go a long way to proving that he is once again ready to lead not only the aCe but those ready to fight against Neuromancer.



VALOUR vs. PAGANAX
In his wrestling debut from Dimension Y, Valour defeated Paganax and Godsend in a Triple Threat. With a one on one scheduled, how will he fare against Paganax when he's completely focused on the one man that he's convinced himself is the way back to the Second Realm? And how will Paganax fare now that he's not facing two different opponents?



Tag Team Championship
(C) ARCHANGELS vs. SHOCK SYNDICATE
The Archangels had a difficult first challenge defending the titles against Primeval Destruction. Now, the champions must put the titles on the line against Neuromancer's Syndicate tag team, the Shock Syndicate.



STRAP MATCH
SYCOPHANT vs. PAINMASTER
Painmaster wants his hands on Sycophant, plain and simple. Sycophant came face to face with Peacemaker, the man he attempted to murder, on the last show, and now he has to look in the eyes of the man he tried to frame for said assassination. Will either man be the same after these two strap the living heck out of each other?



SCUD vs. THE AMAZING MANN
On the last show, we found out that Scud is not being controlled by his armor, but rather was tired of playing second fiddle to his teammates in the Showmen. Both men look for revenge. Scud, for being left out of the Showmen's activities and Amazing Mann, for being captured by the SYNboT's thanks to Scud.



OAKEN BROTHERS vs. THE OTHERS
These two teams step back into the ring in two weeks in a New School vs. Ravager feud match. The New School have been charged with foiling any Ravager plans, but The Others feel they can handle the New School.



MACK CALIBUR vs. TWIST
Twist is the newest member of the Regulators. After a tag match pitting the Regulators vs. the Blue Steel on the last show, Mack Calibur attempted to scar Twist for life much like Esperanto had been scarred. Thankfully, Scorch was able to make the save. Now Mack Calibur and Twist step into the ring in singles action.



NEMEAN vs. FRINGE
With Amazing Mann getting his hands on Scud this week, Nemean looks to show the newcomer Fringe that Fringe's conspiracies are just fairy tales. Will Fringe see his SEASON FINALE or will Nemean be victim to a CONSPIRACY THEORY?



HELLRAISERS vs. THE FALLEN
If the past has proved anything when it comes to these two teams, one can expect a war in the ring come NO TIME FOR PEACE. Dominion vs. Tribes of Primus, who comes out victorious?



NES KINCADE vs. VENTROSS
Nes Kincade isn't taking his loss against Ventross from STARTING OVER laying down. He's asked for this rematch and feels he has a lot to prove to Neuromancer and the New School by taking out the Ravager leader.

[Avarice]

Great card, loved the attack before that. I don't think Callisto has a chance vs. Avarice, but we'll see. Nes vs. Ventross is interesting, but Ventross is too strong for him. The card is very solid, can't wait to see how it plays out.

[Fringe]

All Centra Entertainment presents...



[glow=beige,3,300]NO TIME FOR PEACE[/glow]
From the Primus Stadium
04/04/2125

Nes Kincade, cigarette in mouth, comes down to the ring...

Kincade "Everybody on the Syndicate side of things have been asking me, and I'm sure you people here have been wondering to, when I am going to bring back the The New School Yard. Well, after watching Nemean's abomination of the Nemean Show, I've decided that tonight is the night. My guest is none other than my opponent for tonight....Ventross."


Ventross heads to the ring...

Ventross "I'm not doing this. Let's get to our match so I can give you another MERCY KILLING."

Nes Kincade "Sorry Ventross but one, the show is happening, and two, tonight you're going to feel the MTFO!"

Ventross "Well then, let's see you do it. Come on, let's get on with it."

Nes Kincade ashes his cigarette at Ventross' chest...

Nes Kincade "I said chill. This is my show."

Ventross "Don't you dare flick your nasty ashes at me again you little punk."

Nes Kincade "Getting riled up are we? Here, let this calm you down."

Nes Kincade takes a deep drag of his cigarette and then blows the smoke directly into Ventross' face...

Nes Kincade "How about that? Nice, calming, aromatic smoke."

Ventross grabs Nes Kincade by the throat, takes his cigarette, and puts it out on his forehead....



VENTROSS def. NES KINCADE
Ventross begins pounding on Nes Kincade. Nes goes on to make a comeback but misses a MTFO!, putting Ventross back in control. Ventross then puts Nes Kincade away with a MERCY KILLING.

-----

THE FALLEN def. HELLRAISERS
The Hellraisers take the early lead in the match, but The Fallen begin dominating after a BLOOD MOON. They then earn the victory after the For The Chief tag maneuver. Jakyll pins Darkseed.

-----

NEMEAN wins by DQ vs. FRINGE
A lot more is seen from Fringe on this show as he dominates Nemean. Fringe uses his finisher, CONSPIRACY THEORY, but Nemean kicks out. Fringe goes ballistic and begins blaming the ref. Screaming, "You're out to get me! This is a conspiracy against me!", Fringe loses it and begins attacking the referee. Nemean is to his knees and begins signaling for the timekeeper to ring the bell. Amazing Mann runs out and Fringe escapes through the crowd.


Amazing Mann grabs a mic...

Amazing Mann "This behavior here is not going to be allowed. There will be order in this fed and there will be consequences for wrestlers putting their hands on the officials. We believe in hard justice though. On the next show, Fringe, you and your friend the WitchDoctor will face Nemean and me in tag team action. Misinformation versus the Showmen! You freaking lunatic!"

-----

OAKEN BROTHERS def. THE OTHERS
The Oaken Brothers pull out the win. After being on the receiving end of The Other's punishment for much of the match, the Oaken's pull off the COUP DE GRACE and leave the winners. Donk Oaken pins Omni.

-----

TWIST wins by DQ versus MACK CALIBUR
Twist is on fire as his exciting offense brings the crowd to their feet. Twist hits DON'T GET IT TWISTED but Calibur gets his shoulder up off the mat just before the ref's three count. Calibur rebounds after a big left hook and uses Glass Knucks. The action then heads outside the ring where Mack Calibur begins an onslaught and is DQ'd.

Hustler runs to ringside, and the Blue Steel proceed to beat down Twist.

Scorch then runs down for the save. The Blue Steel bail to the other side of the ring and leave.

Scorch "Blue Steel, that's twice that you've tried to attack Twist after a match. And Hustler, that's twice you've ran off just before I could get my hands on you. It won't happen a third time. I want a match. Amazing Mann, Nemean, if you're listening make it happen! I want Hustler one on one!"

-----

AMAZING MANN def. SCUD
Amazing Mann may have a lot on his brain with co-running the fed, but he needs to focus once he steps into the ring or he's going to lose just like he almost did against Scud here. Scud flew straight at Amazing Mann from the start. With his dare devil style, Scud had both Mann and himself seeing stars after a Kamikaze Dive and CRASH AND BURN. Once back in the ring, Mann capitalized on an opening and slipped Scud into a guillotine choke. Scud is trapped and the ref calls the match when Scud loses consciousness.

-----

STRAP MATCH
SYCOPHANT def. PAINMASTER
Once fighting on the same side, these two are now beating the living hell out of each other. Both men strike one another with the strap that is attached to each thier wrists and connects the two men. Both men also use the strap to hang each other across the top rope in an attempt to choke the other out. Sycophant gets the break when he is able to use the strap effectively for his finisher THE TOURNIQUET and Painmaster reluctantly submits.

-----

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
SHOCK SYNDICATE def. (C) ARCHANGELS
There are new Tag Team Champions after an outstanding match! Exodus tries for an early victory with WRATH OF GOD, but the Shock Syndicate fight back with SHOCK AND AWE and SHOCKWAVE (+5). Both sides are exhausted. Exodus whips Flatliner into the Shock Syndicate corner and tries rushing in after him. Flatliner dodges and Exodus runs right into a knock out blow by Holocaust. Flatliner makes the pin.

-----

PAGANAX wins by DQ vs. VALOUR
These two big names trade offense in the ring but eventually the ring becomes too small for the both of them. The struggle heads to the outside area. Paganax comes out on top and then tosses Valour back in the ring where Paganax hits the PAGAN VOID. Valour just barely kicks out and rolls back outside of the ring. As Paganax follows after him, Valour has grabbed a chair and belts Paganax as he approaches. The ref DQ's Valour.

-----

aCe CHAMPIONSHIP
(C) AVARICE def. TIBER CALLISTO
The main event starts and Avarice and Tiber Callisto go back and forth. Callisto is over-powering Avarice but Avarice looks to put an end to it with a Crown of Thorns. The two then battle outside of the ring for awhile. Callisto ends up the winner of the exchange and rolls Avarice in the ring, looking to finish him off. Avarice catches Callisto upon re-entering though and is back in control. Avarice runs at Tiber Callisto full force and knocks him out with a devastating Shining Wizard. Avarice retains the aCe Championship!

Avarice drops a black rose onto the chest of Callisto and then speaks...

Avarice "None of you stand a chance. The Syndicate and the New School will fall you all. NO TIME FOR PEACE? I hope you all know what you are asking for because next time we will show NO MERCY!

Ventross' music suddenly plays and he steps out to the entrance stage...

Ventross "Avarice, now that I shut up your lackey Nes Kincade, I'm coming for you next. Everybody on your side, everybody on the ROC and Ravager side and even all these fans need to know that this is indeed a war. I don't want mercy and I will show NO MERCY on you!
