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.
[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.
