Fireworks went off and a capacity crowd was roaring as "Hand Of Blood" by Bullet For My Valentine played over the loudspeakers and the show began.

[Voiceover] "The fallout from August And Everything After begins tonight and the road to Wicked Game starts here in Miami. Commissioner Andrew Bootman is in the ring now..."

The crowd offered a polite response to Commissioner Bootman as he spoke.

[BOOTMAN] "Last night was another black mark on American Championship Entertainment. John Capone has decided to use my father to his advantage and last night, they teamed up to cost Mike Harvey the American Heavyweight Championship." (crowd boos) "But that is the past. On September 18, ACE Wrestling will hold its next PPV at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY entitled Wicked Game in which participants must put something on the line. I have an offer to you, Mr. Capone. First, let me bring out Mike and Doug Harvey." (crowd cheers)

Mike and Doug Harvey came to the ring with meaningful looks on their faces.

[BOOTMAN] "Mr. Capone, here is my proposed main event match at Wicked Game. Mike Harvey and Doug Harvey against you and Steve Bootman...IN A STEEL CAGE..." (crowd roars) "...and if the Harveys win, Mike will receive another title shot!" (crowd cheers)

"New Divide" interrupted and John Capone walked out with Steve Bootman. The crowd booed. Capone held a mic in his hand and both stopped in the aisle while Capone spoke.

[CAPONE] (smug) "Let me get this straight. I put up a title shot for Mikey boy and what do you put up?"

[ANDREW] "I will put..."

[CAPONE] (interrupting) "HERE'S what you will put up." (smiles at Bootman) "You will put up control of ACE Wrestling!" (crowd boos)

Andrew shook his head, arguing the idea.

[CAPONE] "Yeah, if I were you, I wouldn't have faith in Mike & Doug Harvey either..."

Mike and Doug got in the face of Andrew. The crowd chanted mixed reactions.

[CAPONE] "C'mon boys, the champ doesn't have all night."

[ANDREW] (authoritative) "DEAL." (crowd cheers) "At Wicked Game on September 18, the Harveys will take on John Capone and Steve Bootman inside of a steel cage!" (crowd roars) "John, you will put up a title shot and through the Harveys, I will put up control of ACE Wrestling!" (crowd cheers) "Tonight, however, Doug Harvey will be taking on Steve Bootman!" (crowd roars)

Steve smiled.

Backstage, a cameraman snuck up on a conversation between Natasha Malone and Valerie but both quieted up and separated once noticed. In another area, Hair Metal was discussing an eight-man tag team match taking place later tonight.

[MELROSE] "Hey, you ready for that eight-man tag tonight?"

[STEELE] "It's gonna be awesome teaming with the champs but when do we get our shot?"

[MELROSE] "Let's go ask them."

Melrose and Steele walked off.

Euphoria vs. Valerie

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Justin Ball

Valerie gave a valiant effort but Euphoria was lightning fast and a lot stronger. Euphoria made Valerie tap quickly to the Purple Haze.

RESULT: Euphoria def. Valerie (1:03)

Euphoria was cheered selectively afterward.

Backstage, former American Tag Team Champions Dante Monaco and Dorian Morcello of the Danteourage were caught scolding their fellow members, David Scarth and Green Lantern Fan.

[MONACO] "You guys haven't done a damn thing!"

[MORCELLO] "Not a damn thing!"

Monaco looked back at Morcello, noticing his ape skills, before looking at GLF and Scarth again.

[MONACO] "You are responsible for The Iron Maiden fuck-up, us losing the titles and pretty much everything else bad. Lemme put it this way, do something tonight to prove your worth or you're outta this group."

[SCARTH] "But..."

[MORCELLO] "No 'buts'!"

[MONACO] "But nothing. Tonight, it is 'do or die' for you guys."

Commercial Break

The show returned with Bucky Talbot & Sandy Horseshoe standing in the ring in front of a positive crowd. 

[TALBOT] "Me and Sandy here are sooooo thrilled to be together that we come up with a greeeat idea'r. Tell 'em, Sandy!"

[HORSESHOE] "Thanks, baby! We decided that ACE Wrestling needs an Intergender division! Man and woman versus man and woman!" (crowd cheers) "And we are looking for a lady and a fella to take on rawt now!"

[TALBOT] "C'mon back there, any takers?"

Seconds later, Trick and a more attentive Lindsey Fontaine came to the ring. Trick took the mic from Talbot and started to speak but instead bashed him over the head with it as Fontaine dove on top of Horseshoe. The men brawled and the women pulled hair for a while until ACE officials broke it up and set up the first Intergender Division match for next week.

Backstage, Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) went up to The Iron Maiden and the Jersey Assassins (#1 and #2) to congratulate them with a handshake.

[MELROSE] "Look forward to teaming up with you guys tonight and congrats on the win."

[MAIDEN] "Thank you."

[STEELE] "When do you think we will get a shot at that gold, though?"

[MAIDEN] "I tell ya what..."

Before she could continue, backstage reporter Carrie Lopez caught up with the group.

[LOPEZ] (to Maiden) "Iron Maiden, what in the hell happened at August And Everything After? It looked for sure like you were turning on the Assassins!"

[MAIDEN] (smiling) "Carrie, this plan had been in the works for about a month. The imbecilic Danteourage approached me backstage with a wad of cash and promises, promises, promises. I pretended to go along with it right up until the last second when I sprayed them with the mace of doom!"

[LOPEZ] "Tonight, are you scared of any kind of revenge attack?"

[MAIDEN] "I have the two strongest men in wrestling by my side and another great tag team in Hair Metal. I'll be fine."

Hair Metal, The Iron Maiden and the Jersey Assassins headed to the ring.

Danteourage (Dante Monaco, Dorian Morcello, David Scarth & Green Lantern Fan) vs. Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) & Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) w/The Iron Maiden

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Justin Ball

This was the epitome of chaos. Before the bell, Monaco and Morcello brawled with the Assassins outside of the ring and shouted obscenities at Iron Maiden. Inside the ring, Melrose and Steele dominated Scarth and GLF for a second straight match. Back outside of the ring, referee Jason Charles came out and assisted to restore order. The match went back and forth, with the former tag champs Monaco and Morcello looking good against the opposition and vice versa. The match climaxed when Morcello and Monaco had Steele (who had been taking quite a beating for the last few minutes) in their corner and went for a double dropkick but Steele moved and crawled across the ring to tag in JA #2, who burst into the ring and clotheslined Morcello and Monaco simultaneously to delight the crowd. JA #1 came in and prevented Scarth and GLF from interfering. #2 knocked around Morcello and Monaco with ease a bit. #1 followed by hitting the Parkway Power Bomb on Monaco while #2 hit the Homicide Dive on Morcello and covered him for the win. The crowd roared.

RESULT: Hair Metal & Jersey Assassins def. Danteourage (6:12)

After the match, Hair Metal and The Assassins (with Maiden) congratulated one another before having an impromptu staredown over the JA's American Tag Team Championship belts. The crowd "oooh"ed. This gave all four members of the Danteourage time to grab chairs and knock down all four members of JA and HM. The crowd booed this. The Danteourage threw the opposing four outside of the ring, leaving Maiden alone in the center of the ring where Scarth had also brought in a wooden table and was now setting up. The crowd, sensing what was happening, went crazy. Members of JA and HM tried to get back into the ring but Monaco and Morcello prevented them each time. Inside of the ring, GLF grabbed Maiden by the hair and set her up for the power bomb (the crowd holding its breath the entire time) and completed the maneuver, sending Maiden hard through the table and knocking her out. Scarth and GLF high-fived and the crowd booed profusely. Eventually, the Assassins and Hair Metal made it into the ring and sent the Danteourage fleeing. While JA attended to their manager, Hair Metal chased the Danteourage to the back. ACE medical crews came out and ended up taking Maiden to the back on a stretcher while JA spazzed out.

Commercial Break

The Iron Maiden was seen being loaded into an ambulance while the Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) stood in shock.

Mother Mary vs. Karra LaRue

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Justin Ball

After a back and forth brawl, Mary got the upper hand after a sneaky eye rake. The nun worked over LaRue for a couple minutes before missing a flying bodypress. LaRue followed immediately with an attempted Karrarizer but Mary moved out of the way and bulldogged LaRue to the mat. The pro-LaRue crowd booed. Mary followed by heading to the top rope and hitting the Holy Roller to win.

RESULT: Mother Mary def. Karra LaRue (4:53)

Mary faked a handshake to LaRue afterward, instead shoving her hard to the mat. The crowd booed this display of awful sportsmanship.

A promo aired for the Wicked Game PPV on September 18th. When the show returned, Dios was in the ring on crutches. The crowd was applauding.

[DIOS] "Don't let the crutches fool you. I twisted an ankle on Sunday but I'll live." (crowd cheers) "I can't compete tonight but I am out here for a reason. Mr. Canada, could you please make yourself present.."

Seconds later, "Oh Canada" began playing and Mr. Canada strutted out. The crowd booed him.

[DIOS] "Mr. C, Commissioner Bootman announced the dealio with Wicked Game on September 18th and I would like to take advantage of that." (crowd cheers) "I know I can beat you." (crowd roars, Canada shakes his head) "I know I can and I will beat you if you face me at Wicked Game in a mask versus mask match!" (crowd cheers)

[CANADA] (cocky) "No thanks."

Canada turned to walk away. The crowd booed.

[DIOS] "Well if you wanna let all those Canadians down, keep walking away...."

Canada stopped.

[DIOS] "Mask versus mask. You have a chance to claim my most prized possession. You could never do it, but you would have the chance."

[CANADA] (changing his mind) "Okay, okay...let's make this happen." (starts walking toward the ring) "I beat you senseless on Sunday. I'll do it again at Wicked Game. Just like I beat Travis Hafner onto the disabled list! I will beat you!" (crowd boos, enters ring) "I will beat you for Canada! Hail Canada!" 

The crowd booed and Canada dropped the mic and kicked the crutches away from Dios before clotheslining him to the mat. Canada followed with the Maple Leaf Blower to silence Dios. The crowd booed profusely. Canada started to take the mask of Dios but referees and officials came out to stop him. The match between the two was signed.

Commercial Break

An limping Valerie (following her match with Euphoria) offered Natasha Malone a good luck hug prior to her match. The hug lasted longer than a normal one was.

American Female Championship Match 

(C) Sarahcuda vs. Natasha Malone

Time Limit: 15:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Malone went at Sarahcuda hardcore at first, backing her into a corner and delivering a series of elbows, but Sarahcuda shoved the challenger back and hit a quick Trust Buster that shocked the crowd. Malone was flattened. The crowd was in awe. Sarah made a cover but Malone miraculously reached her foot to the rope to break the count before 3. The crowd cheered. Sarah proceeded to beat Malone around the ring a bit more before putting her in a bear hug that seemed to suck what little life was left out of Malone. Somehow, Malone held on, and was able to maneuver an arm to the rope to force a break. At this point, Sarah went for another Trust Buster but Malone amazingly jumped and Sarahcuda flew across the ring and slid under the bottom rope and out of the ring. The crowd roared. Malone capitalized by springboarding off the top rope and hitting a perfect Natty By Nature to the face of Sarahcuda, knocking her into the guard rail. The crowd roared. At this point, Mother Mary came out and started taunting Malone which was an attempt to give time to Sarahcuda to recuperate. Valerie decided to come out on behalf of Malone and take down Mary from behind with a knee to the back. Unfortunately, when Malone turned around to Sarahcuda again, she was met with a Trust Buster that knocked the back of her head hard on the arena floor. Referee Charles had been counting both women out but Sarahcuda made it under the ropes and into the ring before he reached 10. The crowd booed as Malone was counted out.

RESULT: Sarahcuda def. Natasha Malone (8:11, CO)

Sarahcuda helped Mary out and leveled Valerie with a Trust Buster outside of the ring as well. Sarahcuda (with her title belt) and Mary walked to the back, where Sarahcuda was chained up again by her police escorts.

Back in the office of Commissioner Andrew Bootman, the American Tag Team Champion Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) were shown slamming their fists on the Commissioner's desk.

[#1] "WE DON'T TALK A LOT BUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED WAS DESPICABLE EVEN BY OUR TASTES!"

[BOOTMAN] "Have you heard any word on her?"

[#2] "She will be assessed further but right now, they are thinking broken neck..."

[#1] "WE WANT THE DANTEOURAGE RIGHT NOW!"

[BOOTMAN] "They left the building..."

[#2] "Big surprise."

[BOOTMAN] "But before they left, they got word to me...they want a rematch for the tag titles at Wicked Game."

[#1] "I WANT THEM NOW!"

[#2] (to #1) "We need to do this calmly."

[BOOTMAN] "You guys think about it and get to the hospital. We can talk more next week..."

[#1] "WE DON'T NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT. WE ACCEPT THE MATCH BUT THEY GOTTA PUT UP SOMETHING TOOO..."

[BOOTMAN] "Like what?"

[#2] "Their lives, specifically those of David Scarth and Green Lantern Fan."

[#1] "KILL 'EM ALL!"

[BOOTMAN] "Obviously, we cannot allow murder. What I could allow is for you to get five minutes alone with GLF and Scarth, should you win the match..."

[#1] "WE'LL TAKE IT!"

[BOOTMAN] "Now, I've actually had you guys on speaker phone with a representative from the Danteourage and..." (clicks a button to deactivate speakerphone, picks up the receiver) "Whadda they saying?" (pauses to listen) "Mmmm hmmm, uh huh. Got it."

[#1] "WELL?"

[BOOTMAN] "The match is set. The titles versus five minutes alone with Scarth and GLF. Now, get to the hospital!"

#1 and #2 exit the office and the arena and head to the hospital to visit The Iron Maiden.

Commercial Break

Doug Harvey is shown very animated, with Mike Harvey next to him giving him a few pointers.

Doug Harvey w/Mike Harvey vs. Steve Bootman w/John Capone

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Justin Ball

Bootman started the match by repeatedly shoving Doug to the mat several times before Doug got fed up and took out the legs of Bootman, knocking him to the mat. Doug followed up with a flurry of kicks to the gut before putting on a full nelson and attempting a full nelson slam but Bootman blocked it and elbowed Doug in the face. Doug broke the hold but lifted Bootman up for a power slam. The crowd roared. At this point, the crowd went into a frenzy for some reason. Suddenly, the camera panned to ringside where the recently removed Benjamin Hammer and former referee Bernard LaChance were attacking Mike Harvey. Capone, in on it, watched and smiled. This distracted Doug enough to allow Bootman to drop him with a chokeslam for the win. The crowd verbally frowned.

RESULT: Steve Bootman def. Doug Harvey (4:30)

Back outside of the ring, Capone joined Hammer and LaChance to make it 3-on-1 on Mike. Bootman made it four. Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) came out with chairs to help even the sides. The crowd cheered. Hammer and LaChance fled the scene, leaving through the crowd. Mike was left a bruised, battered, pile of flesh. Commissioner Andrew Bootman came out and Capone once again held the belt to the Commissioner's face and walked to the back with Steve Bootman to end the show.

Fireworks went off and a capacity stadium crowd was popping as "Hand Of Blood" by Bullet For My Valentine played over the loudspeakers and the show began.

[Voiceover] "We are live at the biggest show in ACE Wrestling history, August And Everything After, live at Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland. Tonight, scores will be settled and fans will witness more action than any Indians game ever. Tribe designated hitter Travis Hafner is in attendance! We go now to the opening contest..."

Before the first match, Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) played an impromptu concert with some friends inside the ring. The crowd of 60,000+ was rocking out when the Danteourage (Green Lantern Fan & David Scarth) interrupted and began the match.

Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) vs. Danteourage (Green Lantern Fan & David Scarth)

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

GLF and Scarth caught Melrose and Steele by surprise but quickly found themselves on the receiving end. Scarth succumbed to Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow in under a minute to close out the first contest.

RESULT: Hair Metal def. Danteourage (0:53)

The crowd roared and Hair Metal continued their concert while GLF and Scarth licked their wounds.

Backstage (aka the clubhouse), Mike Harvey was interviewed by Carrie Lopez.

[LOPEZ] "Mike, tonight you finally get your rematch for the American Heavyweight Championship against John Capone. You will have Doug Harvey at ringside with you, is he enough to counter Steve Bootman at ringside with the champion?"

[HARVEY] "Carrie, I wish I could say we will not have to worry about anyone at ringside but with John Capone involved...you know something is gonna go down. To answer your question, Doug Harvey can stand up to the biggest and baddest."

[LOPEZ] "Are you going to try and wear down Capone or attack him early and try to win the bet quickly?"

[HARVEY] "I plan on finishing the job before Johnny Capone knows what hit him." (looking into the camera) "I had a dream last night that I was in the crowd here at Jacobs Field watching the main event. Capone was in one corner, me in the other. I woke up before the match finished but I don't need a dream to tell me who is walking out of Cleveland with the title tonight. You're looking at him."

Harvey walked off.

Sandy Horseshoe Will Shack Up With The Winner

Bucky Talbot vs. Trick

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Justin Ball

Sandy Horseshoe sat at ringside but did not join Talbot nor Trick in coming down the aisle. Talbot was more focused on winning the match but Trick was too caught up in trying to impress Horseshoe. At 2:32, Talbot went for a flying bodypress but Trick moved at the right time and Bucky went face-first into the mat. Trick used this as an opportunity to call Sandy up to the ring. She stood on the ring apron and smiled at him, letting Bucky get to his feet. Just as Trick went in for a kiss, Sandy backed off the ring apron. Talbot tapped Trick on the shoulder, prompting him to turn around and meet Bucky's Ball Buster right in the pit of the groin. The crowd roared. Unfortunately, this resulted in a disqualification.

RESULT: Trick def. Bucky Talbot (3:12, DQ)

The crowd booed the referee's decision. Trick grimaced as his hand was raised. Sandy grabbed a microphone and stepped into the ring.

[HORSESHOE] "Trick, you may've won this here match but you are still a loser!" (crowd cheers) "I'm shackin' up with my Bucky and we're gonna go home and make sweet loooove!"

The crowd roared as Trick started shouting at Horseshoe and acted as if he was going to hit her before Talbot delivered another Ball Buster kick to the groin and sent Trick down and out. The crowd cheered as Bucky and Sandy made out in the ring.

Backstage, the Danteourage (Dante Monaco, Dorian Morcello, Green Lantern Fan & David Scarth) were caught in an argument of some sort. Monaco stepped away to speak on his cell phone. When the camera got closer to the group, they all went behind a closed door.

A promo video aired for Euphoria, a new female wrestler debuting Wednesday on Ace Across America.

American Tag Team Championship Match

(C) Danteourage (Dante Monaco & Dorian Morcello) w/Green Lantern Fan & David Scarth vs. Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) w/The Iron Maiden

Time Limit: 15:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Danteourage came out first and were booed profusely by the fans on the field and in the stands. When the Assassins came out, they stormed the ring and took on all four members of the Danteourage before referee Charles got it straightened out. The fans roared. The Assassins had the match in control for the first five minutes, mostly taking turns on Morcello. At one point, they let Morcello tag in Monaco but he wanted no part of it. JA #2 brought Monaco in anyway and received the same treatment. Due to some distractions later on by GLF and Scarth, the champions caught a break and were able to take #1 to the mat. Over the next few moments, they subdued the masked man and kept him in their corner. At one point, he overpowered Morcello and stumbled across the ring to make a hot tag to #2 but GLF distracted referee Charles and the tag did not count. The fans booed profusely. Later, Monaco got a little cocky and attempted to lift #1 up for The Inferno but #1 blocked it and collapsed onto Monaco. The crowd rose to their feet and #1 was able to finally make a hot tag to #2, who drilled Monaco with a flurry of fists and kicks. Morcello illegally entered the match and was met with a clothesline from #2 that knocked him through the ropes and out of the ring. #2 dragged Monaco to the center of the ring and were prepared to set up their Welcome To The Garden State, Mother Fucker finisher but Morcello was able to pull Monaco out of the ring and to safety. At this point, GLF and Scarth gave some sort of hand gesture to Iron Maiden outside of the ring. GLF followed by hopping up on the ring apron and distracting referee Charles. Maiden hopped up on the ring apron on the opposite side and called #1 and #2 to her. Behind #2, Monaco and Morcello prepared for some kind of maneuver but were waiting for Maiden to do something. The crowd rose to its feet. Maiden pulled what was apparently a can of mace out of her breast area and winked at #1 and #2, who both ducked and allowed Maiden to spray the mace in the eyes of Morcello and Monaco. The crowd roared. #1 tossed Morcello out of the ring and Monaco fell victim to WTTGSMF just as referee Charles started paying attention again. #2 covered Monaco for the win and the biggest pop of the night thus far.

RESULT: Jersey Assassins def. Danteourage (7:02)

The Assassins and Maiden celebrated in the center of the ring. GLF and Scarth came in and were tossed out by the new champions.

Backstage, American Female Champion Sarahcuda was in her prison chains while her tag team partner for the night, Mother Mary, attempted to discuss strategy with her.

[SARAHCUDA] "STOP!"

[MARY] (shocked) "Pardon?"

[SARAHCUDA] "Stop running your goddamn mouth. All we need to do is destroy the enemies, tonight! SIMPLE! DESTROY!"

Sarahcuda started shaking insanely, freaking out her tag team partner.

Mr. Canada vs. Dios

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Justin Ball

The fans were clearly behind Dios in this one and it seemed to fuel him early on, wearing out Canada with high-flying and fast-paced moves. Early on, Canada tried to take a rest outside of the ring but Dios springboarded off the top rope and smothered Canada with a corkscrew press that sent them both into the guard rail. It prompted the first "DI-OS! DI-OS!" chant of the evening. When both returned to the ring, Dios was still in control but tried one high spot too many. With Canada wobbly and standing in the center of the ring, Dios went for a missile dropkick but Canada moved away and Dios landed awkwardly on the canvas, injuring his left leg. Canada proceeded to work over said leg for the next few moments, keeping Dios grounded. The fans seemed to feel Dios' pain but willed him on anyway. Canada attempted to pin Dios several times but the Peruvian kicked out each time. After a series of chops to the chest of Dios, Canada threw him in the north corner of the ring. Canada went to the opposite side and came running toward Dios but in an amazing use of speed, Dios turned around and hopped onto the top rope and attempted to hit the Oh Dios Mio! finisher but Canada caught him trying to do the hurricanrana part of the move and power bombed him to the mat. The crowd "ooohed" and then "awwwed" as Dios was crushed into the canvas. Canada followed with the Maple Leaf Blower for the win.

RESULT: Mr. Canada def. Dios (6:53)

After the match, Canada celebrated way too much and the crowd booed him. He started to help Dios to his feet in a seemingly moment of good grace but ended up kicking his bad leg out from under him and laughing it off. He pulled a Canadian flag out from under the ring and ran all over Progressive Field with it. In the second row of the field seats, he shoved it in the face of Cleveland Indians DH Travis Hafner, who ripped the flag away from Canada and wiped his ass with it. Canada shoved Hafner and Hafner shoved Canada to the ground. ACE officials and security stopped anything further.

Backstage, Natasha Malone and Karra LaRue were chatting with Hair Metal (Irwin Steele & Christian Melrose) in one area while Carrie Lopez talked to American Heavyweight Champion John Capone (with Steve Bootman by his side) in another area.

[LOPEZ] "John Capone, tonight is the night. What will you do to keep that title around your waist?"

[CAPONE] (looking into the camera) "Carrie, I am the Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end. I was the first champion and I will be the last. The only way Mike Harvey will take this title from me is if he literally killed me. Even then, he would still have to get past Steve Bootman."

[LOPEZ] "Some might feel you constantly underestimate Mike Harvey..."

[CAPONE] "Some might feel a lot of things but Mike Harvey is going to feel the wrath of the Whiplash, tonight!"

Capone held the title up in front of the camera and walked off with Bootman.

Elimination Tag Team Match

Sarahcuda & Mother Mary vs. Natasha Malone & Karra LaRue vs. Lindsey Fontaine & Valerie

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Justin Ball

Valerie and Sarahcuda started the match but while Valerie was talking strategy with Fontaine, Sarah hit her with the Trust Buster and got the pin in under 10 seconds for the first elimination. The crowd was stunned. In disgust, Fontaine walked off without assisting her partner. Sarah tossed Valerie out of the ring and Malone came in and belted the champion with a clothesline that sent her staggering back into the corner. The crowd cheered as Malone dropkicked Sarahcuda while she was in the corner. Caught up in the adrenaline, Malone went for the Natty By Nature too early and Sarah caught her and flung her across the ring. Sarah tagged in Mary and the nun went flying across the ring and lit up Malone. Malone ended up fighting her off and tagging in LaRue but Mary was able to trip up LaRue and tag in Sarahcuda. Sarah and Mary worked over LaRue for the next few minutes until LaRue moved out of the way of a Trust Buster and hot tagged Malone to the delight of Cleveland fans. Malone took down Sarah with a Thesz Press and bashed her face a bit. Mary interfered but Malone shoved her and took her down with a DDT. The slight delay gave Sarah a chance to lock a sleeperhold on Malone but miraculously, Malone hoisted Sarah on her back and flipped her across the ring. The crowd rose to their feet as Malone hopped up to the top rope (with LaRue chasing Mary away in the background) and springboarded off for the Natty By Nature hard into the face of Sarahcuda, who was knocked out by the move. Malone covered for the win and the crowd roared.

RESULT: Natasha Malone & Karra LaRue def. Sarahcuda & Mother Mary (5:59), Lindsey Fontaine & Valerie (0:09)

The winning team dove into the crowd and celebrated the victory.

Backstage, the Danteourage were caught throwing things around and arguing with one another before Commissioner Andrew Bootman and ACE officials booted them out of the building.

American Heavyweight Championship Match

(C) John Capone w/Steve Bootman vs. Mike Harvey w/Doug Harvey

Time Limit: 20:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Capone used an extended entrance theme remix, waiting nearly a minute before coming out. The match started off slowly, with Capone repeatedly leaving the ring and trying to psych out the challenger. On the last exit of the ring, Capone randomly shoved Doug which prompted him to try and take a swing at the champion. This forced referee Charles to throw Doug out and make him leave ringside. The crowd booed, Mike argued and Capone high-fived Bootman. Capone took advantage of Mike's pissed-off state and sucker punched him before working over his arms and legs, in hopes of avoiding the Southern Justice. Capone used every short cut imaginable to keep Mike from any offense. Later on, Capone threw Harvey into the ropes and thought he would catch him off guard with the Whiplash but Harvey ducked and came back off the opposite ropes with a flying forearm. The crowd roared and began to rise, appropriately sensing a changing of control. Harvey followed with a power bomb and went for a cover but Capone kicked out. Harvey followed by attempting to lock in the Southern Justice but Steve Bootman jumped up onto the ring apron which prompted the challenger to stop what he was doing (knowing that a disqualification would result in him not being able to win the title) and superkicked Bootman off the apron. The crowd popped huge. When Harvey went back to try to re-apply the Southern Justice (with referee Charles still looking toward a flailing Bootman), Capone threw powder in the eyes of Harvey. The crowd booed heavily. The challenger went blind immediately and fell victim to the Whiplash. Capone covered as Charles returned focus to the match and counted the 1-2-3.

RESULT: John Capone def. Mike Harvey (9:14)

Capone and Bootman celebrated as the ringside fans pelted the ring with garbage. Commissioner Andrew Bootman came out as Capone and Steve headed back toward the locker room. Andrew stared down the champion and his father. Capone held up the title in the Commissioner's face and walked to the back, still having trash thrown at him.

Fireworks went off and the capacity crowd was popping as "Hand Of Blood" by Bullet For My Valentine played and the show began.

[Voiceover] "With four days until August And Everything After, the ACE Wrestling world is kicking at full speed tonight! We now join Mike Harvey inside the ring..."

Harvey was sitting on a stool inside of the ring with a serious look on his face. The crowd cheered for him before he spoke.

[HARVEY] "I am a simple man. I like to have a couple beers when I get home." (crowd cheers) "I can kick ass with the best of them. I am honest. I have a wife named Alice and two great kids named Sean and Paula." (crowd applauds)

At this point, Harvey stood up and kicked the stool out of the ring. The crowd roared and stood up.

[HARVEY] "SO I'LL BE DAMNED IF JOHN CAPONE IS GOING TO TRY AND SHOW ME UP!" (crowd hoots) "AND STEVE BOOTMAN?  YOU WANNA STICK YOUR NOSE INTO THIS? WELL, I HAVE THE PERFECT MAN TO EVEN UP THE SIDES!" (crowd cheers)

A rough-looking blond man with a light beard walked down the aisle at this point.

[MIKE] "MY BROTHER AND BEST FRIEND, DOUG HARVEY!"

Doug entered the ring and shook the hand of Mike.

[MIKE] "Tonight, Commissioner Andrew has already set the main event. Johnny Capone and Steve Bootman against me and a partner. Well, this is my partner and SHIT IS GONNA GET KICKED TONIGHT!" (crowd roars) "AND ON SUNDAY AT August And Everything After...I'm walking out of Jacobs Field with the American Heavyweight Championship!" (crowd cheers)

Mike threw down the mic and walked to the back with Doug.

Backstage, a camera captured The Iron Maiden reuniting with the Jersey Assassins. New backstage reporter, Carrie Lopez, went up to the group to find out what was going on.

[CARRIE] "Guys, this is kind of a big deal. Maiden, where..."

Maiden took the mic from Carrie and looked into the camera.

[MAIDEN] "I just want to forget about all of this. Yes, I was taken by the Danteourage a couple weeks ago against my will. They made me watch Jersey Shore reruns and were generally annoying. I was not harmed physically and that is all I will say on this."

Behind this, all four members of the Danteourage (American Tag Team Champions Dante Monaco & Dorian Morcello and Green Lantern Fan & David Scarth) were seen trying to sneak away. Just as Maiden handed the mic back to Carrie, Jersey Assassins #1 and #2 spot the Danteourage and go after them. Maiden and Carrie scream as JA bulldoze all four into oblivion. Quickly, ACE officials came out and separated the mess but the Danteourage were left in shambles.

Commercial Break

Backstage, Natasha Malone was caught by a camera stretching before the battle royal when Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) came up to her. This week, Steele got the first word in by stepping in front of Melrose.

[STEELE] (schoolboyish) "Hey, Natasha, good luck tonight!"

[MALONE] (smiling) "Thanks!"

Before Melrose could add something, Mother Mary interrupted.

[MARY] "You're gonna need it tonight, you heathen. Stretching in front of everyone like a harlot! Ugh!"

Mary started to walk off but Malone nailed her from behind with a clothesline and both brawled to the ring to begin the battle royal.

Battle Royal

Mother Mary vs. Sarahcuda vs. Natasha Malone vs. Karra LaRue vs. Lindsey Fontaine vs. Valerie

Time Limit: None • Referee: Jason Charles

Mary and Malone were the first two in the ring, going at it while the others entered and the bell sounded in front of a frenzied crowd.Valerie went right after Sarahcuda but the American Female Champion hoisted up the former backstage reporter and threw her over the top rope for the first elimination. Fontaine was tossed by Sarahcuda immediately afterward. At this point, LaRue and Malone teamed up against Sarah and Mary. All four brawled a bit before Mary went for a Holy Roller on LaRue but she blocked it and tossed Mary over the top rope and to the arena floor for the next elimination. The crowd cheered on LaRue and Malone against Sarahcuda but the double-team did not last long as Sarah ended up defending herself well. At the 5:02 mark, Sarah hit the Trust Buster on Malone and knocked her out of the ring under the bottom rope to the arena floor (not an elimination). LaRue tried to sneak attack Sarah afterward by slapping on a sleeperhold but Sarah lifted her up and backed LaRue into the corner before delivering a series of head butts and hip tossing LaRue over the top rope and out of the ring. The crowd booed. Sarahcuda raised her hands in the air, forgetting about Malone who slowly made her way into the ring and dropkicked Sarahcuda from behind. Sarah fell forward and choked herself across the top rope. The crowd cheered. Malone followed with a Natty By Nature that blasted Sarah in the face. The crowd popped and rose to their feet as Malone grabbed Sarah by the hair and tossed her over the top rope to the arena floor to win.

RESULT: Natasha Malone def. Sarahcuda (6:22), Karra LaRue (5:20), Mother Mary (1:50), Lindsey Fontaine (0:28), Valerie (0:21)

The crowd rejoiced as Malone stood on the middle rope in the east corner of the ring with her arms in the air. LaRue came into the ring and congratulated her. Soon after, Mary came back out and helped Sarahcuda to her feet. Both climbed into the ring and went after LaRue and Malone in a preview of the three-way tag team elimination match this Sunday. Fontaine and Valerie came out and joined in the fracas before it was broken up by ACE officials. Sarahcuda held up the title before being chained up by her police escorts and taken back to prison. It was also announced that Sarahcuda would face Malone in a title rematch next week on ACE Across America.

Backstage, Sandy Horseshoe and Bucky Talbot were caught in an argument.

[HORSESHOE] "No, I did nawt go home with Trick last week!"

[TALBOT] "Well, ya sure as pig shit didn't go home with me!"

[HORSESHOE] "I'm nawt your wife, Bucky! I'm your special friend and manager!"

Horseshoe walked off in a huff.

Commercial Break

Backstage, The Iron Maiden was calming down the Jersey Assassins.

[MAIDEN] "Guys. I'm all right. Let's focus on this match and then winning the belts on Sunday."

#1 threw his fist into a wall and grunted.

[MAIDEN] "Trust me, guys. I was not harmed. It was merely a sophomoric prank by an immature group of heathens who were just trying to get under your skin."

Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) w/The Iron Maiden vs. Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele)

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Justin Ball

Melrose and Steele put up a better fight against the Assassins than they did a few weeks back. Just as things were heating up, the entire Danteourage (Dante Monaco, Dorian Morcello, David Scarth and Green Lantern Fan) hit the ring and went after both teams to cause an immediate No Contest.

RESULT: Jersey Assassins drew Hair Metal (No Contest)

The Iron Maiden fled the scene through the crowd, apparently scared of being abducted once again. Inside the ring, Monaco and Morcello squared off with their PPV opponents (Assassins) while the Scarth and GLF went after Hair Metal. The Assassins and the tag champs went outside of the ring and brawled while the others stayed inside. The crowd was heated for this. After #1 threw Morcello over the top rope, he delivered a Parkway Power Bomb on Monaco hard to the arena floor which popped the crowd significantly. #2 followed with a modified Homicide Dive from the ring apron before ACE officials finally came up to break things up.


A recap video aired for the John Capone/Mike Harvey feud, which included clips from: 1) Capone using an illegal object to beat Harvey for the title at Title Wave on July 24, 2) Steve Bootman attacking Harvey on Ace Across America on August 3 and 3) Capone and Harvey brawling on Ace Across America on August 14 and 4) Capone interfering in a match between Harvey and Bootman later that same show.

Dios & Bucky Talbot w/Sandy Horseshoe vs. Mr. Canada & Trick

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Justin Ball

Canada and Dios started the match and took their time feeling one another out in preparation for their match on Sunday. Neither could gain an advantage on the other and tagged in their partners. Trick repeatedly gawked at Horseshoe outside of the ring, which eventually prompted Talbot to lose his cool and start clawing and biting Trick in some sort of hillbilly frenzy. Trick escaped and tagged Canada back in and he laid into Talbot. Canada and Trick took turns working over Talbot for the next few moments while the crowd rooted Talbot on, hopeful for a hot tag to Dios. At 5:31, Trick had Talbot on the top rope and was starting a superplex but got distracted winking at Horseshoe. This allowed Talbot to shove him back-first off the ropes which popped the crowd. Trick landed on his feet, however, and tried to climb back up but Talbot met him with a hard elbow. Canada tried to get involved but Talbot met him with a kick to the face and sent him off the apron to the arena floor. Talbot made the crowd-pleasing hot tag to Dios, who stormed into the ring with a flurry of punches to Trick. Just as Dios was setting up the Oh Dios Mio!, Canada (from outside of the ring) tripped him up and pulled Dios outside of the ring. Both men brawled and Dios was counted out.

RESULT: Mr. Canada & Trick def. Dios & Bucky Talbot (6:22)

The crowd booed profusely at this result. While Dios and Canada continued trading punches outside of the ring, Horseshoe climbed into the ring and checked on Talbot. Trick came up to her and pulled her in for a kiss but Talbot cold-cocked him with a fist to the face that sent him to the mat. The crowd "oooh"ed. Horeshoe shoved Talbot and checked on Trick. Talbot shook his head and left the ring. It was later set up that Talbot would face Trick on Sunday, with Sandy Horseshoe shacking up with the winner.

Meanwhile, the Canada and Dios brawl went backstage. Dios tried to tear off the mask of Canada but failed and Canada shoved Dios hard into a set of lockers. The fight was finally broken up by ACE officials and referees.

Commercial Break

Backstage, Mike and Doug Harvey were shown together discussing strategy. They paused and knocked the cameraman away, fading the screen to black.

John Capone & Steve Bootman vs. Mike Harvey & Doug Harvey

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Bootman started the match with Mike, who asked for Capone but was denied. Bootman overpowered Mike for a couple minutes before Mike broke free and made a tag to Doug, who debuted with a spear that knocked Bootman clear across the ring. The crowd roared at the outspoken, loud and wild Doug. Doug knocked Bootman into Capone, knocking the champion off the apron and to the arena floor in an embarrassing moment. The crowd scoffed. The Harveys took turns working over Bootman but Capone kept refusing to tag in. Finally, Mike took the hand of Bootman and forced a slap on Capone to bring him into the match. The crowd popped. Mike and Capone stared at one another in the center of the ring for a few moments before finally coming to blows. Mike got the better of the exchange and took Capone down to lure him into the Southern Justice but Bootman came in and broke it up. This prompted Doug to make the sides even. Doug clotheslined Bootman over the top rope and both fell out of the ring. The fans rose to their feet. Back in the ring, Harvey regained composure and went for a clothesline on Capone but Capone ducked and hit Harvey with the Whiplash to win.

RESULT: John Capone & Steve Bootman def. Mike Harvey & Doug Harvey (6:30)

The crowd booed the result, knowing Mike would have made Capone tap had Bootman not interfered. Outside of the ring, Bootman and Doug continued fighting until Bootman silenced Doug with a chokeslam on the ground. Bootman joined Capone in the ring to celebrate. Capone grabbed a mic and spoke while looking down at Mike.

[CAPONE] "That was the appetizer, Mike Harvey. Sunday night at August And Everything After, you will get the main course!"

Capone threw the mic at Mike. Bootman picked Mike up off the mat and allowed Capone to deliver a second Whiplash as the crowd booed. Mike fell hard to the mat. The show ended with Capone standing on the ropes and screaming at the fans.

Fireworks went off and the capacity crowd was ecstatic as "Hand Of Blood" by Bullet For My Valentine played and the show began.

[Voiceover] "Tonight...the road to August And Everything After goes through Louisiana! We now go backstage where all hell has broken loose..."

Inside the office of Commissioner Andrew Bootman, the Commish is in a heated discussion with American Female Champion Sarahcuda (chained by the hands and by the legs, with two police escorts).

[BOOTMAN] "Why should I not suspend you? You attacked a defenseless reporter!"

[SARAHCUDA] "DO NOT...THREATEN...ME! I AM..."

[BOOTMAN] (interrupting) "Stop it right there, Sarah. You are a tough son of a bitch, I'll give you that. But don't forget who runs this show. Me. Tonight, you will defend the title against Natasha Malone or you will be stripped of the title and suspended for 30 days."

Sarahcuda freaked out and tried to escape her chains. The police escorts held her back and escorted her and her screaming vocal chords out of the office.

In another part of the arena, the Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) were screaming and dumping over equipment while looking for either The Iron Maiden or someone from the Danterourage.

Back in the center of the arena, American Heavyweight John Capone (with mic in hand) and new friend Steve Bootman had just entered the ring and the crowd was booing them profusely.

[CAPONE] "Lick me. All of you." (crowd boos) "I suppose you're all sad that precious Mike Harvey didn't get his title shot last week and will have to wait until August And Everything After like he is supposed to." (crowd boos) "Well, boo hoo. Last week wasn't about Mike Harvey. It was about teaching Mike Harvey a lesson: JOHN CAPONE RUNS THIS SHIT!" (crowd boos, Capone stands on middle rope and looks menacingly toward camera/crowd) "And with my new buddy Steve Bootman here, nothing is gonna stop me from keeping the American Heavyweight Championship forever!" (crowd boos) "Forever!" (crowd boos louder) "FOREVER!" (crowd boos even louder) "Yeah, like booing me is going to make me give a shit. When I look at the faces in this crowd tonight, I am reminded at what a poor job Hurricane Katrina did removing the trash from New Orleans." (crowd booes louder than ever and hurls garbage into the ring while Capone smiles) "Yeah, I thought that might do it."

Capone handed the mic to Steve. The crowd booed him.

[STEVE BOOTMAN] "My son wondered what my reasons were for aligning with John Capone last week and it's very simple: John Capone is a winner. My son is, was and always will be a loser!" (crowd boos)

Andrew Bootman came out with his own mic at this point. The crowd stood up and cheered. Andrew climbed into the ring and responded.

[ANDREW BOOTMAN] "Thanks, Dad." (crowd scoffs) "Unfortunately, I don't believe a word you're saying."

Capone took the mic from Steve and got in the face of Andrew.

[CAPONE] "You better believe it, little Andy." (to Steve) "Why don't you take care of this little pipsqueak right now and beat his ass like you should have years ago!"

Steve refused at the same time the crowd popped for Mike Harvey coming out of the back and sliding into the ring. Harvey thought about taking the mic from Andrew and speaking but instead shoved Capone down and kicked Steve in the gut before delivering a cutter. The crowd roared. Andrew backed out of the ring and watched Harvey lock the Southern Justice on Capone, who started tapping out immediately in front of the cheering crowd. Unfortunately, Steve regained composure and had obtained a steel chair which he used to attack Harvey and force him to break the hold. The crowd booed. Andrew called for help from the back, which came in the form of ACE referees and officials who cleared Capone and Steve from the ring. At one point, Andrew and Steve had an uncomfortable staredown. A match was set up for later in the show between Steve and Harvey.

Commercial Break

Backstage, Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) were caught speaking to Natasha Malone.

[MELROSE] "Good luck tonight, Tash."

Steele started to offer good luck to her as well but Melrose stood in front of him and faced Malone.

[MALONE] "Thanks. It's gonna be tough but I think I can get it done tonight."

[MELROSE] (staring blankly at her) "You will, you will."

[MALONE] "All right, well I'm gonna head to the ring now..."

Malone waved at both of them and headed off. Steele got in the face of Melrose.

[STEELE] "Dude..."

[MELROSE] (still staring at Malone) "...yes?"

In another area of backstage, Valerie was walking gingerly. She passed a couple officials who inquired about her condition and she mumbled something about looking for revenge on Sarahcuda.

American Female Championship Match 

(C) Sarahcuda vs. Natasha Malone

Time Limit: 15:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Malone waited at ringside for Sarahcuda and as soon as the police escorts unchained the champion, Malone came at her firing with fists of fury. The crowd cheered. Referee Charles was able to bring the match into the ring and the bell sounded to officially begin the match. Malone wore Sarahcuda out but could not knock her down. At 2:09, Malone went for a standing dropkick but Sarah brushed her aside and Malone landed awkwardly on the mat, giving the champion a chance to capitalize. Sarah overpowered Malone and beat her around like a rag doll for a few minutes while the crowd urged the challenger to make a comeback. After a power slam on Malone, Sarah tossed her into the corner and hit a running splash that nearly flattened Malone. The crowd "ooohed" and Sarah returned to the opposite side of the ring to set up the Trust Buster but Malone was miraculously able to move left and fall face-first onto the mat, forcing Sarah to miss and hit the ring post shoulder first. The crowd cheered. Malone got to her feet just as Mother Mary made an appearance at ringside (the crowd booing her all the way). Malone was distracted by Mary enough to allow Sarahcuda to get back to her feet and regain composure. Mary hopped onto the ring apron and was arguing with Malone while referee Charles got in between. Sarahcuda grabbed Malone by the hair and turned her around for another power slam but Malone escaped and shoved Sarahcuda into Mary, knocking her off the ring apron and getting a nice pop from the crowd. Karra LaRue came out and brawled with Mary to keep her out of the match. Malone followed by springboarding off the top rope and hitting the Natty By Nature on Sarahcuda. Huge pop. Unfortunately, the referee was focused on Mary and Karra fighting outside of the ring. Malone covered but there was no ref to count. The crowd booed. Malone got up and pulled the referee around to count but when Malone went to cover, she was met with a boot to the face from the champion. At this point, Valerie (with a menacing face) came from out of the back to obviously seek revenge on Sarahcuda. Lindsey Fontaine chased behind and tried to stop her but Valerie came toward the ring anyway. Inside the ring, Sarah got to her feet and head butted Malone before attempting the Trust Buster again. Just as she started to charge across the ring, Valerie slid under the bottom rope and tripped up Sarah. Referee Charles called for the immediate disqualification. The crowd booed.

RESULT: Sarahcuda def. Natasha Malone (9:02, DQ)

It did not take long for it to be come a six-woman brawl, with three teams (Valerie & Fontaine, Mary & Sarahcuda and LaRue & Malone) coming together in the midst of it all. ACE officials broke up the melee and it was later announced that a three-team elimination match would take place at the August And Everything After PPV.

Backstage, Bucky Talbot and Sandy Horseshoe are found in an argument near an RC machine.

[HORSESHOE] "Buh-kee, y'all need to win me a match or else..."

Trick walked past the arguing two, causing Horseshoe to whistle and lose her train of thought.

[TALBOT] "Izzat whatchu like, girly? That young buck?"

[HORSESHOE] "I wouldn't kick him outta bed, that's fur sure!"

Talbot walked up to Trick and challenged him to a match, which was accepted.

Commercial Break

Bucky Talbot w/Sandy Horseshoe vs. Trick

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Talbot tried his best but the young Trick managed to get the better of him at the end of every turn. Trick winked at Horseshoe, prompting her to visibly melt. Talbot went for a hard clothesline but Truck ducked, superkicked Talbot and hit a standing moonsault to win.

RESULT: Trick def. Bucky Talbot (3:20)

The crowd seemed indifferent to the result but a few whistles were heard when Trick walked past Horseshoe and back to the locker room. Horeshoe started to go into the ring and see after Talbot but shook her head in disgust and ran back to the locker room, possibly toward Trick.

Separate taped promos aired from Mr. Canada in Saskatchewan (with thousands of Canadians surrounding him) and Dios in Peru with thousands of his homeland people chanting his name. Both dealt with how they were not just fighting for themselves but their country as well.

Christian Melrose w/Irwin Steele vs. Green Lantern Fan w/Scarth

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Before this match reached the 30-second mark, the Jersey Assassins came out and attacked all four men. After Melrose and Steele were disposed off, they choked out GLF and Scarth until they told them where The Iron Maiden was. Both pointed to the jumbotron where American Tag Team Champions Dante Monaco & Dorian Morcello were laughing while holding up The Iron Maiden's outfit. The crowd was intrigued.

[MONACO] "Come find us, boys! We're in the building..."

The screen went blank and both Assassins darted to the back with a camera following them. Both grunted, groaned and tore stuff up on the way to opening each door to see where the tag champs were. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Monaco and Morcello attacked the Assassins with chairs. They hurt the Assassins but did not knock them down, much to the chagrin of the champs. This led to one of the most hellacious backstage brawls ever that was stopped short when GLF and Scarth made it backstage to make it a 4-on-2 Danteourage advantage. After hurling the Assassins through a plate glass window, the Danteourage fled the scene.

RESULT: Christian Melrose drew Green Lantern Fan (0:22, NC)

Commercial Break

Backstage, the Jersey Assassins are assisted to their feet by ACE Medical crews. Both men are bleeding through their masks and are gingerly walking around aimlessly to look for Danteourage members.

Mike Harvey vs. Steve Bootman w/John Capone

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Harvey shoved Bootman and Bootman shoved back to open the contest. Harvey fired at Bootman with laser-quick fists to the gut but Bootman retaliated with a hard elbow to the face that sent Harvey to the mat. Over the next couple minutes, Bootman easily manhandled Harvey but seemed to get worn out at the 4:09 point. Harvey took advantage by taking out the legs of Bootman and knocking him to his knees. The crowd roared. Harvey hit a shining wizard and looked as if he was going to lock in the Southern Justice when Capone jumped into the ring and nailed Harvey from behind with a series of elbows and fists. Referee Charles called for a disqualification and the crowd booed.

RESULT: Mike Harvey def. Steve Bootman (4:31, DQ)

Capone and Bootman double-teamed Harvey for several moments until Commissioner Andrew Bootman came out with officials and security who broke it up. Capone grabbed a mic.

[CAPONE] "Andrew, you can try to protect your precious Mike Harvey all you want but he is my bitch!"

Capone threw down the mic and stormed out through the crowd with Steve towing behind. The crowd booed.

Fireworks went off and a crowd of 11,500 fans go spastic as "Hand Of Blood" by Bullet For My Valentine played and the show began.

[Voiceover] "Tonight...the road to August And Everything After goes through Oklahoma. Earlier today, American Heavyweight Champion John Capone attempted a sneak attack on #1 Contender Mike Harvey. The following is fan footage..."

[From 3:07 PM] Capone is shown standing next to a fan with a camera behind a cement post in front of the building.

[CAPONE] (to camera/fan) "Just keep the fucking camera rolling because what happens next is going to be historic."

Capone got jumpy as a red Pontiac Vibe entered the parking lot.

[CAPONE] "Is that him? I think so...get ready..."

An ACE official exited the Vibe.

[CAPONE] "Damn it. Not him."

The camera began to shake and Capone was assaulted from behind by someone in a hoodie that turned out to be Mike Harvey. Harvey took Capone and rammed him head-first into the post he was standing by, before DDT'd him onto the ground. Harvey closed out the scene by high-fiving the guy who was holding the camera and looking seriously into said camera to speak.

[HARVEY] "No one outsmarts Mike Harvey."

Present time. Benjamin Hammer and referee Bernard LaChance are caught by a cameraman talking about something incoherent in a corner. ACE Commissioner Andrew Bootman walked toward them, tapped both on the shoulder and shouted (as the camera drew in).

[BOOTMAN] "Both of you are done."

[HAMMER] "Done...what?"

[LACHANCE] "Yeah, what?"

[BOOTMAN] "I don't know what you're up to. I don't care what you're up to. But you're both annoying, so take a hike."

Hammer and LaChance looked dumbfounded as Bootman strutted away.

In another part of the building, Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) were talking to The Iron Maiden and her Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) about the American Tag Team Championship.

[MELROSE] (to Maiden) "I am not trying to start anything or be aggressive but I think we deserve the shot at those tag titles."

[MAIDEN] "What the hell have you done?"

[STEELE] "What the HELL have you done? Do you ever let those two masked behemoths speak?"

[MAIDEN] "As I recall, we beat you guys in 90 seconds at Title Wave. If you wanna try again, go for it. If we we win the titles at August and Everything After, you guys will be first in line for a title shot."

[STEELE] (gets in the face of Maiden) "Deal!"

[MAIDEN] (shoves Steele) "Deal."

The Assassins and Hair Metal go nose-to-nose but are able to hold back. Moments later, all four members of the Danteourage (Dante Monaco, Dorian Morcello, Green Lantern Fan & David Scarth) show up.

[MONACO] "Me and DoMo are the champs, we call the shots. You fools can make all the matches you want after the pay-per-view but the titles are staying with the Danteourage."

The Assassins and Hair Metal turn away from each other and toward the Danteourage.

[MELROSE] "You cockwaffles sure have big mouths for a group of misfit guido wannabes..."

That was the verbal grenade that started an eight-man scuffle. Each member of the Danteourage went at it with an Assassin or Hair Metal member while Maiden screamed for blood. The fracas lasted several minutes and went throughout backstage, knocking down ACE employees and equipment left and right until it was broken up by fellow wrestlers and ACE officials. An eight-man tag team main event was set for later in the show.

Commercial Break

Backstage, Natasha Malone was checking on her friends Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) after their scuffle when Mother Mary confronted her.

[MARY] "You think you're so entitled, Natasha. That everything should be yours. Look at how you're working Christian and Irwin. You're just a skank."

Malone jumped onto Mary with a Thesz Press backstage but the battle was quickly stopped by nearby ACE officials, who sent both women to the ring to begin the elimination match.

American Female Championship #1 Contender Elimination Match 

Karra LaRue vs. Natasha Malone vs. Lindsey Fontaine vs. Mother Mary

Time Limit: None • Referee: Jason Charles

Malone went right after Mary to start the match, leaving LaRue and Fontaine to face off. In ACE elimination matches, all participants are "legal" at the same time. Fontaine was quickly eliminated at 2:03 by LaRue following a Karrarizer. LaRue and Malone double-teamed Mary until it was too much for the nun to handle and she slid out of the ring, forcing LaRue and Malone to go at it. After LaRue and Malone traded holds and flash maneuvers to excite the crowd a bit, Mary saw an opportunity to come off the top rope at the same time Malone shoved LaRue into the ropes which crotched Mary on the top turnbuckle. The crowd cheered. Malone followed by superplexing Mary off the top rope of the east corner, allowing LaRue to hit the Karrarizer from the opposite corner on Mary for the next elimination. With the pleased crowd on their feet, LaRue and Malone went at it solidly again for a few more minutes until LaRue took Malone down hard with a clothesline. Thinking it was time to end it, LaRue went to the top rope again. At the same time, Malone was able to rise up just in time to springboard off the top rope and nail LaRue (standing on the turnbuckle) in the face with the Natty By Nature. The crowd was ecstatic. Both women fell to the center of the ring, with Malone rolling on top of LaRue for the cover and win.

RESULT: Natasha Malone def. Karra LaRue (8:09), Mother Mary (4:58), Lindsey Fontaine (2:03) to earn title match

Immediately after the bell, American Female Champion Sarahcuda was escorted to the entrance aisle by two policemen who unchained her and warned her not to do anything. Sarahcuda walked calmly to the ring before abruptly taking her belt off and storming into the ring to attack Malone and LaRue, Both fell victim to a Trust Buster. The crowd booed as Sarahcuda stood tall. Before her cops could chain her up again, Valerie came from the back and climbed into the ring to interview the champion. Sarahcuda looked at Valerie, tilted her head demonically and stormed into her gut with the Trust Buster. The cops tended to Valerie while Sarahcuda took the chains and went ballistic until ACE officials sedated her.

Commercial Break

Dios was in the ring alone (with a microphone in hand) when the show returned.

[DIOS] (pacing) "Well, I was supposed to face Benjamin Hammer tonight in a warm-up match...to prepare for August And Everything After where I destroy Mr. Canada!" (crowd cheers) "And we all saw what happened to Benji backstage. Anyway, I need an opponent tonight and I understand we have some folks from the ACE training camp backstage. So why don't one of you young bucks get out here and step into the ring!"

A skinny, red-haired punk identified as Trick began strolling down to the ring. The crowd booed and he sneered back at them with conceitedness.

[DIOS] "We have a winner!"

Dios threw down the mic and prepared for his opponent.

Dios vs. Trick

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Trick held is own early on but it seemed like Dios was toying with him a bit to test the waters. When Trick went for a hurricanrana at 3:02, Dios blocked it and power bombed Trick in the center of the ring. The crowd "ooohed." Dios waited for Trick to get back to his feet before hitting the Oh Dios Mio! to win.

RESULT: Dios def. Trick (3:50)

Dios and Trick shook hands afterward and the fans applauded both competitors. Into the camera, Dios said "Mr. Canada, your days are numbered."

Backstage, American Heavyweight Champion John Capone was seen stewing about the attack before the show. He hurled a cooler at an ACE lackey and threw other random junk around before pausing a second, as if contemplating something, and placing a call on his cell phone to someone.

Mr. Canada vs. Bucky Talbot w/Sandy Horseshoe

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Horseshoe tried to lure Canada into a distraction by playing with her breasts but Canada caught Talbot trying to sneak attack him from behind. Canada clocked Talbot with a hard elbow to the face to begin the match. Canada beat the hell out of Talbot with ease, winning with the Maple Leaf Blower.

RESULT: Mr. Canada def. Bucky Talbot (3:53)

The crowd booed Canada, who followed the win by heading outside of the ring and pulling a Peruvian flag he had hidden underneath. After tossing Talbot through the ropes toward Horseshoe, Canada proceeded to mimic wiping his ass with the flag, prompting a chorus of boos. It did not take long for Dios to come out of the locker room and chase Canada from the ring. Canada leaped over the guard rail and Dios followed him through the crowd and out the back door of the arena.

Commercial Break

Dios was outside of the arena still searching for Canada when a camera got in his face. He used the opportunity to speak on what just happened.

[DIOS] "CANADA...THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND I! I AM NOT AN ELITIST! I RESPECT THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA! YOU RESPECT NO ONE EXCEPT THE CANADIANS YOU CLAIM TO REPRESENT! I WILL TEACH YOU A LESSON IN RESPECT AT AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER IF I HAVE TO CHOKE YOU WITH YOUR OWN EGO!"

The next thing viewers saw was American Heavyweight Champion John Capone frustratedly entering the ring with a microphone, greeted by a negative reaction from the crowd.

[CAPONE] "Did you jackasses see how I was jumped earlier today?" (crowd cheers) "To hell with all of you. You wake up every day in your miserable homes, feed your nagging kids, go to your meaningless jobs, come home and sit on your broken-down furniture, lay down in your worn out beds and pray to a God that I know for a fact doesn't exist!" (crowd boos) "I'm out here to crush even more of your dreams by letting your precious Mike Harvey know that I want his ass in a fight right now! Title on the line!" (crowd cheers) "Get out here, you redneck reject!"

The crowd roared as Mike Harvey slowly came out of the locker room with a smile on his face.

[CAPONE] "Wipe that grin off your face and get your ass in the ring."

Capone dropped the belt and laid it across the mat in front of him. Harvey responded by starting a jog to the ring but out of nowhere, a large man in a black suit attacked Harvey with a chair.

[CAPONE] "Ahahahahaha! Yes! Destroy him!"

The crowd booed as the man in the suit choked out Harvey with the throat and followed by hurling him into the guard rail head first, busting him open across the forehead.

[CAPONE] (to the jeering crowd) "I suppose you are all wondering who my new best friend here is. I present to you, the father of our Commissioner...STEVE BOOTMAN!"

The crowd booed. Commissioner Andrew Bootman came out and separated his father from Harvey and asked what the hell was going on. Steve brushed his son off and joined Capone in the ring.

[CAPONE] "Worry not, Andrew. Your father is now partaking in the breakfast of champions!"

Capone and Steve high-fived while Andrew stared in shock. Eventually, ACE medical crew members came out to assist Harvey onto a stretcher and take him to the back.

Commercial Break

An incoherent verbal fracas was shown from afar in front of Commissioner Andrew Bootman's office involving himself, John Capone and Steve Bootman.

Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) & Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) w/The Iron Maiden vs. Danteourage (Dante Monaco, Dorian Morcello, David Scarth & Green Lantern Fan)

Time Limit: 15:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

This match started out surprisingly calm, with all eight participants seeing time in the first few minutes. Things began to lean toward the Danteourage when Monaco and Morcello double-teamed Melrose and kept him in the Danteourage corner. While the crowd tried to will Melrose to safety, all four members of Danteourage took their tun with him. Scarth was the first one to get a bit cocky, parading around the ring and imitating Melrose's hair-swinging ways. This led to him attempting a dropkick and missing when Melrose moved. The crowd cheered as Melrose made a hot tag to #1, who stormed into the ring and head-butted Scarth across the ring. #1 went after Monaco and Morcello as well but both hopped off the ring apron and declined. GLF tagged himself in and attempted to surprise #1 with a top rope dive but #1 caught him and power slammed him into the ring, much to the delight of the crowd. #1 tagged in #2 and they started to set up Welcome To The Garden State, Mother Fucker when Monaco and Morcello rolled under the ropes and broke it up. This led to all eight participants going at it inside the ring in front of the raucous crowd. GLF eventually made Monaco the legal man with #2 when things settled down again. Soon after, Scarth grabbed The Iron Maiden from behind and dragged her to the back. #1 saw this and started toward the back but Steele and Melrose argued with him to stay for the match. While referee Charles was watching this melee, Monaco delivered a low blow to #2 and Morcello hit the DoMotion. The crowd booed hysterically. Monaco covered #2 just as Charles turned around and counted to 1-2-3.

RESULT: Danteourage def. Jersey Assassins & Hair Metal (9:19)

#1 stopped midway to the back after hearing the bell sound and turned around to figure out if he should help his partner or look for the Maiden. In the ring, the remaining Danteourage members fought with Hair Metal while #2 laid in pain. #1 decided to head to the back, screaming in front of the camera something incoherent. Back in the ring, the Danteourage got the best of Hair Metal and kicked #2 out of the ring. A celebration of poses ensued while the crowd pelted them with insults and boos.

Backstage, #1 searched frantically for Scarth and Maiden but to no avail as the show ended.

ACE Across America #1

Fifth Third Arena
Cincinnati, OH

Fireworks went off and a crowd of 12,000 fans go spastic as "Hand Of Blood" by Bullet For My Valentine played and the show began.

[Voiceover] "Tonight...the road to August And Everything After begins as we welcome you to the first episode of Ace Across America! Now, we go to ACE Wrestling Comissioner Andrew Bootman."

In the backstage locker room, Commissioner Bootman stands beside Mike Harvey (who lost a controversial American Heavyweight Championship gauntlet final match to John Capone). Bootman looks at the camera and speaks.

[BOOTMAN] "Sunday night, Mike Harvey was literally screwed out of the American Heavyweight Championship. On August 21 at the August And Everything After PPV, Mike will receive restitution in the form of a rematch for that same title against champion, John Capone...."

Capone, stitched and bandaged at the back of his head and with the title draped over his right shoulder, came out to argue.

[CAPONE] "Are you kidding me?"

Bootman stopped Harvey from going after Capone.

[CAPONE] "Yeah, you better hold ol' Harv back."

[BOOTMAN] "The match is happening and there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it."

[CAPONE] (laughing) "Well, I could just not show up!"

[BOOTMAN] "Yeah and you would forfeit the title!"

[CAPONE] "I wrestle WHO I want, WHEN I want. I am The Franchise!"

[BOOTMAN] "Let me put it this way, if you don't plan on showing up to the match on August 21...I'LL TAKE THE TITLE FROM YOU TONIGHT!"

[HARVEY] "You chickenshit heel, get in the fucking ring right now!"

Bootman continued to hold Harvey back.

[BOOTMAN] "Not tonight, boys. I have other plans for you."

Harvey and Capone stopped bickering and listened.

[BOOTMAN] "I have also scheduled another match for the August And Everything After PPV. Due to their frequent interaction on Sunday, Mr. Canada will take on Dios in a battle of the masked men. And tonight, you guys will be involved in a tag team match. Mike, you and Dios will take on Mr. Capone and Mr. Canada in our main event. NOW GET TO YOUR LOCKER ROOMS!"

Harvey and Capone stood nose-to-nose before being separated by Bootman and ACE officials.

Hair Metal (Christian Melrose & Irwin Steele) vs. Benjamin Hammer & Bucky Talbot w/Sandy Horseshoe

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

Hammer stumbled around aloof coming down the aisle and spent the entire match trying to hit on Horseshoe outside of the ring, leaving Talbot to battle both Melrose and Steele. It ended abruptly just minutes into the match when Melrose and Steele hit the Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow for the win.

RESULT: Hair Metal def. Benjamin Hammer & Bucky Talbot (2:31)

After the match, Hammer fell over the guard rail into the laps of fans in the front row and passed out. Talbot ended up dragging him into the ring and smacking him around a bit until Hammer was left face-first in a pool of his own vomit.

Backstage, a camera captures Hair Metal celebrating their win before running into a stitch-faced Natasha Malone.

[MELROSE] "Whoa, you should be resting! What are you doin' here?"

[MALONE] "I'm a little sore but I'll live." (looking around) "Tonight, I gotta find Sarahcuda and..."

[STEELE] "No...no...bad idea."

[MALONE] "Look, you guys were nice to check on me on Sunday and all but you're not gonna tell me what to do. I CAAAAN...and WILLLLL...find Sarahcuda and show her I'm still ticking."

Malone walked away, leaving Hair Metal in a confused state.

Commercial Break

Karra LaRue vs. Mother Mary

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Bernard LaChance

The debuting LaRue held her own against Mary and was starting to gain control when Natasha Malone walked down the aisle, grabbed a mic and began to speak.

The crowd cheered as Natasha Malone walked down the aisle, grabbed a mic and walked into the center of the ring to speak. Referee LaChance tried to stop her as LaRue and Mary sported dumbfounded looks.

[MALONE] "These scratches, bruises and welts all over my face are temporary but the anger inside me will not go away until Sarahcuda comes out here and defends that title." (crowd cheers, Malone looks at LaRue and Mary) "I apologize for interrupting your match, ladies but this could not wait."

A frustrated Mary grabbed the mic from Malone.

[MARY] "You think just because you made it to the final of the gauntlet on Sunday that you are somehow entitled to do whatever you want! Where is my title shot?" (crowd boos) "Get out of the ring, you heathen!" (crowd boos)

Lindsey Fontaine ran to the ring and all four women started shoving each other around until they turned to the ACETron and saw backstage footage where Sarahcuda (title belt around waist) was being unchained and led to the ring by police escorts. The crowd booed lightly and even louder when Sarahcuda and the police entered the arena. Back in the ring, all four women started scuffling again until Sarahcuda dropped the belt and stormed into the ring. The champion head butted Fontaine and threw her out of the ring. The crowd was raucous. Mary dropkicked Sarahcuda to no avail. Sarahcuda picked Mary up and threw her over the top rope and onto Fontaine outside of the ring. A staredown followed with Sarahcuda on one side and Malone and LaRue on the other. Before anything further could happen, the police stormed into the ring and chained Sarahcuda back up. The crowd booed.

RESULT: Karra LaRue drew Mother Mary (4:15, No Contest)

Malone and LaRue stared one another down as Sarahcuda was escorted to the back. A four-way #1 contender match was scheduled for next week between Malone, LaRue, Mary and Fontaine with the winner receiving a title shot against Sarahcuda.

Backstage, Mr. Canada was shown arriving in a red limousine with a white maple leaf on the hood. Behind that vehicle, a black Fiat Multipla arrived with the Danteourage (Dante Monaco, Dorian Morcello, David Scarth & Green Lantern Fan) in tow.

Commercial Break

Back from commercial, the Danteourage were headed to the ring and jawing with fans. Monaco grabbed a mic as they entered the ring and spoke. The crowd booed throughout.

[MONACO] (cocky) "Shut it. All of you." (crowd boos louder) "You're in the presence of the God quad..." (introduces the group) "Starting from the bottom, you got the Ginger Grappler...DAVID...SCARTH!" (crowd boos) "Next we have the man who will remain a kid forever...GREEN...LANTERN...FAN!" (crowd boos) "And now...introducing the sexiest tag team in wrestling history...your American Tag Team Champions...DoMo...DORIAN...MORCELLO!" (crowd boos, Morcello stands on the middle rope and poses) "AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST..." (crowd boos) "THE BELOVED ICON...D-MONEY...THE GREATEST PHYSICAL SPECIMEN WALKING THE EARTH...MYSELF...DANTE...MONACOOOO!" (crowd boos) "Drop dead, you worthless hillbillies." (crowd boos and swear at Monaco) "Yeah, what are you gonna do? YOU ARE REPRESENTING SOMETHING CALLED THE 'QUEEN CITY,' SO HOW TOUGH CAN YOU BE?" (crowd boos, a few fans threaten to get physical) "Jump the rail! I'M BEGGING YOU!"

Suddenly, the fans started screaming and cheering as the Jersey Assassins came out of the locker room and stormed the ring with The Iron Maiden trailing behind. All four Danteourage members left the ring. Monaco, still on the mic, spoke from outside the ring.

[MONACO] "How dare you! How dare you interrupt me! You masked losers!"

Maiden grabbed a mic and stepped into the ring.

[MAIDEN] "These fans in Cincinnati know damn well who the American Tag Team Champions should be..." (crowd chants "ASS-ASS-INS! ASS-ASS-INS!") "If your little group of circle-jerking metrosexuals weren't outnumbering us on Sunday night, the Jersey Assassins would be wearing the gold. I'm not going to ask for a rematch, I am TELLING YOU WE'RE GETTING A REMATCH!" (crowd cheers)

[MONACO] "Never!" (crowd boos) "But I'll tell you what. If you can beat Scarth and GLF tonight, we'll consider it..."

[MAIDEN] "I'll tell YOU what. After we beat those two hosers, you give us a title shot or we dismantle them bone-by-bone!" (crowd roars)

GLF and Scarth pleaded with Monaco.

[MONACO] "Fine, fine fine! You beat them, you face us for the titles at August And Everything After. Roll with it."

Seconds later, the match began.

Jersey Assassins (#1 & #2) w/The Iron Maiden vs. Danteourage (David Scarth & Green Lantern Fan) w/Dante Monaco & Dorian Morcello

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Jason Charles

#1 and Scarth started the match but the overpowered Scarth quickly tagged out to GLF, who had no luck either. Monaco and Morcello, sensing defeat for their mates, jumped onto the ring apron to try and cause a distraction but #2 knocked both of them off with hard elbow smashes to the face. The crowd cheered. GLF was then quickly disposed of by the double-team Welcome To The Garden State, Mother Fucker finisher to give the Assassins a shot at the titles.

RESULT: Jersey Assassins def. Danteourage (1:27)

The Iron Maiden got the crowd amped and high-fived her Jersey Assassins after the win. She grabbed a mic soon after and stared at the four members of the Danteourage, pouting and such outside of the ring.

[MAIDEN] "Sleep tight while you can with those gold belts, boys, because on August 21 they are going around the ASSASSINS' WAISTS!" (crowd cheers)

Commercial Break

Backstage, a camera caught American Heavyweight Champion John Capone going over things with teammate-for-the-night Mr. Canada.

[CAPONE] "...Harvey has that freaky farmer strength that can catch you off guard so when in doubt, go for the ropes. I'll be there to stir things up with the referee."

[CANADA] "We'll be fine but leave the Peruvian to me. I'm going to teach that little spic a lesson!"

John Capone & Mr. Canada vs. Mike Harvey & Dios

Time Limit: 10:00 • Referee: Bernard LaChance

A dual staredown ensued after the bell sounded before Harvey took a swing at Capone and Dios followed with Canada. The crowd roared as Harvey and Dios chased their opponents out of the ring and brawled. Dios threw Canada over the guard rail, hopped onto the ring apron and hit an Asai moonsault that landed perfectly on Canada in the laps of front row fans. A loud "DI-OS! DI-OS!" chant followed. Harvey and Capone ended up being the first "legal" men of the match. They went at it evenly until Capone accidentally on purpose elbowed referee LaChance in the eye causing enough of a distraction that he was able to deliver a low-blow and put control of the match on the Canada/Capone side. Both heels double-teamed Harvey for the next few minutes, just as they had planned. At 6:03, Harvey toughed his way out of a Mr. Canada bear hug and made a hot tag to Dios. The crowd roared as Dios delivered a dropkick that knocked Canada into Capone, sending Capone flying off the ring apron and onto the arena floor. Dios monkey-flipped Canada across the ring to the west corner and followed with a flying splash onto Canada. The rested Harvey tagged back in and helped Dios double-suplex Canada. Harvey followed by slapping the Southern Justice on Canada and the crowd lit up. Capone got to his feet outside of the ring and started to climb under the bottom rope to make a save but visibly said "fuck it" and brushed Canada off. Seconds later, Canada tapped out and the crowd popped.

RESULT: Mike Harvey & Dios def. John Capone & Mr. Canada (8:11)

As LaChance held the hands up of winners Harvey and Dios, Capone took his title belt and attempted to sneak into the ring and attack Harvey but the southerner caught wind of it and superkicked Capone through the ropes and out of the ring. Dios rolled Canada under the bottom rope and out of the ring as well. The ecstatic crowd applauded the victors as the show closed.
