Macklin: "There's the man who believes he's Impact Champion."

Askin: "People believe what they want, but Ace Hart's the man with the belt right now, andI don't think he wants to give it up anytime soon. Infact, people think James here would have the belt if it wasn't for Kenny Justice last week."

[ He has a mic as the music stops. ]

McKnight: "Now, I understand that you all had some sort of hand in all this- I mean after all it feels like the whole damned world is against me!"

Crowd: "BLOW A GOAT! BLOW A GOAT! BLOW A GOAT!"

McKnight: "I was screwed not once... but TWICE!"

Crowd: "BY A GOAT! BY A GOAT!"

McKnight: "First I'm denied my Impact Championship, and then the Twit of Diamonds messes me up and I get pinned by none other than the old has-been-but-never-was-in-W2K, Ace Hart."

[ Crowd pops hard for Ace Hart... a few chants... but McKnight holds his finger to his mouth. ]

McKnight: "SHHH! Shut up! It's not even the worst of it. The worst of it is I come into this hell hole today, ready to call out the Girl's Best friend and give him a beating and secure my spot as the next in line to hand Ace his ass, but then I catch windof Trunks Kenni on the phone with some other.... star. Some guy who obviously the W2K feels would be a great coup to have... I mean they're gonna let him keep the belt he had before this place was so rudely shut down in my face!"

[ More cheers. McKnight throws up his arms. ]

McKnight: "Yeah! Ain't it a bitch? I come to find out that while I don't even get a FAIR shot at the Impact Title, that doufus Dante Cross has the option of walking right in and picking up where he left off. WHAT ABOUT ME? WHAT ABOUT WHERE I LEFT OFF? I have to start over because a bunch of assholes in the back ran out of tampax? How is that fair? How can you run a business this way? How-"

[ "Deadly Game" comes on, and McKnight throws up his arms in distain again as Kenny Justice comes down halfway with his own mic. ]

Justice: "WAHHHHH WAHHH WAHHHH... James, I took the liberty of calling a support group. Their hours are between one and five... and since it's now around ten... I think it means cryin' time's over. It's time to roll the die, and do or die!"

[ He drops the mic and rushes into the ring- as James brings down a double axe to his back... the bell rings starting this match, Justice still gets the shoulder block and sends him back into the corner, and grabs the second rope with both hands, trapping James. Jame still brings up a knee, but Justice grunts it off, and hits another shoulder block to take some wind and force out of James... Justice backs up and runs into the corner with a back elbow, connecting on James' face... James recoils, dipping over the top corner, but blocks the next swing by Justice, and sends a kick to the stomach. Justice doubles over and James take shim by the hair and smashes him face first- twice, and a third time, then swings around with a lariat to cut Justice down. James shakes off the attack, and stomps Justice's head, then grabs the legs and goes for a sharpshooter- ]

Macklin: "I think McKnight wants a submission victory here!"

Askin: "I didn't even know this was going to be a match... does the winner get to be number one contender?"

Macklin: "I'm not hearing any word from the back, I just know that these two want to settle last week..."

[ Justice wriggles enough to get his hand around Jame's leg and trip him forward, and wrench the ankle. James calls out in surprise, and probably pain, as he grabs the ropes, and is released as per rules... He climbs up and Justice gets kicked again and James goes for a DDT... before he hits it, "Do you Call My Name" blasts halfway through... ]

Macklin: "And here comes the Impact Champion now!"

Askin: "He's got no authority, he needs to let these two hash it out..."

[ Ace comes out, holding the Impact Title way over his head, with a mic in his other hand. James is shoved away by Justice, who stops and looks, too, as Ace comes through the middle rope, and hits a corner, hand held high. he looks down at the two men scraping for the challenge, and hops down. ]

Ace: "I made an open challenge a few days ago to defend against anyone, any time, and instead all I got was Justice's wish list and McKnight's life story, and an excuse from Sean Locke. But I decided, hell, I'm standing back there, enjoying fine pastries, I might as well work off the calories, so in effect, you BOTH just accepted!"

Macklin: "LOOK OUT!"

[ The crowd explodes as Ace takes the mic and pops it right between McKnight's eyes, recioling him back- Justice comes at him but Ace sticks a foot up, kicking him back into the ropes and then smashes him with the Impact ITtle belt, knocking him up and over the top, tumbling to the floor!! ]

Askin: "... did Ace just accept his own challenge on behalf of these two?!"

Macklin: "I guess so... it is an OPEN challenge!"

[ Ace turns back to McKnight, attempting to blast him, too, but Mcknight ducks down to one knee and blasts Ace with a low blow! Ace Doubles over, and James rolls him up in a small package- ONE! TWO! NO!!! Ace Kicks, but in his surprise, kicked too hard and ends up halfway outside the ring... he climbs to his feet, beaten by James, and gets a high knee... He doubles over and James slings him for a suplex, but drops him stomach first onto the top rope!! Ace hangs there, and James backs up and goes to punt- he connects, and Ace flies up and backwards, tumbling down to where Justice is... Justice side steps the avalanche, and hops onto the apron and then sets sail with a guillotine leg drop, hitting Ace in the back of the neck as he tries to recover... Justice plucks him up and runs him into the guard rail, Ace bounces off, and James slides down and catches Justice, bringing him around, hitting him into the announcer table... ]

Askin: "Whoa, watch my water, jackasses."

Macklin: "We get no respect. Without us, who'd hype these matches?"

[ Justice bounces off that, and James holds on to bring him around into the ringpost. He hits, with a cong, and comes back as he's slung into a belly to back-, but he wrenches in a headlock, and when he comes up he kicks the ringpost and flips over James, to th ebehind and shoves him into the ring... James goes to get up but Justice grabs the top rope and slings himself feet first in, pummeling James in between the eyes!! James shoots back, holding his face. ]

Macklin: Free nose job, courtesy of Kenny Justice!"

[ Ace comes in, feigning a left, but stops himself as Justice blocks, throwing up both arms. Ace picks him up in a spinebuster, and Justice bounces out... Ace grabs the belt, and lays it on the canvas, picking up James and going for the "Paragon"... He goes, but James blocks it by doing a butterfly back drop, taking a step forward so Ace gets a backfull of gold! He rolls, and James goes to cover- ]

Macklin: "THIS COULD BE IT!"

Askin: "MCKNIGHT GETS HIS TITLE BACK!"

[ ONE- NO!! Justice pulls him off by the foot... James gets up, livid, but he's whipped into the corner, as he hits, Justice comes at him with a Handspring Elbow- connects, and James stumbles out into a facebuster to the knee James bounces and lands on his back, and Justice hops to the top for the "All Out"... he sets sail and Ace throws the belt on James Chest. ]

Askin: "I think Ace Hart has conceeded the belt to James McKnight."

[ Justice lands on the belt, and immediately shoots up, holding his chest, as James convulses... ]

Macklin: "A sick and twisted last minute offensive!! Ace may have knocked the bejesus out of both men!"

[ Justice stumbles around, sucking wind and is caught in the "Phenominal"... he's flattened, as James is out in the corner... Ace drops atop Justice- ONE! TWO! THREE! The bell rings, as "Do You Call My Name" plays, Ace Raising his arm and grabbing his Impact Title.... ]

Macklin: "Ace retains in his own acceptance of his own open challenge!"

Askin: "Does that even make any sense? All I know is once again, McKnight had this match won, and once again, Kenny Justice messes it up for him! I bet Justice lost on purpose, just to crap on McKnight's day."

Macklin: "Maybe so...."
