  OCTOPUS vs. STORM  
    Octopus came out to the ring accompanied by his brother, Squid, who had his arm in a sling.  Squid kept trying to distract Storm, but eventually got dragged off the ring apron by Tanker.  Storm finished Octopus off with his finisher and got the win.

Winner: Storm

 

  
  DIAMOND vs. BRYAN DAVIS vs. MAX ALTITUDE  
    This was a hard-fought contest between Diamond and Bryan Davis.  The same cannot be said for Max Altitude, who had another terrible night.  Max missed another high-risk maneuver.  Bryan Davis went for the pin, but Diamond broke it.  From then on, it turned into a contest to see who could pin Altitude first.  Eventually, things got out of hand and the ring was filled with foreign objects.  Diamond and Davis were fencing with chairs until Diamond nailed Davis with a nasty shot to the head, sending him flipping over the top rope.  She turned around and nailed a recovering Max Altitude with a chair-shot too and got the three-count.

Winner: Diamond

 

  
  THE McBAGGINSES vs. THE SACRED AND PROFANE  
    This rematch from AWE: No Excuses went on for quite a while.  Both teams used some impressive double-team moves, but in the end it was the McBagginses who proved they're still Tag Team Champion material.  Sally McBaggins pinned Sage with a Sunset Flip.

Winners: The McBagginses

 

  
  STEVE MESSIER/CYBORG vs. THE DARK LEGION  
    Messier and the Dark Legion (Monger and Seth) were already in the ring waiting for Cyborg's appearance.  Cyborg's theme song played and the crowd cheered until they saw a much different Cyborg from the one they saw last week.  He was shorter, rounder, and his right arm was in a sling.  The bell rang and it wasn't long before Seth put Cyborg through a table and de-masked him, revealing that Cyborg was actually Squid.  Seth turned and yelled to Monger, "Please tell me you didn't get schooled by this guy last week?"

Messier seemed to have Seth's number, but Seth tagged out to Hate Monger and Messier's stamina became an issue without someone for him to tag out to.  Still, Messier held his own for a while until Hate Monger locked him in a Sleeperhold.  It seemed as if all was lost until another Cyborg rushed to the ring from the back.  This Cyborg, similar in stature to Squid, jumped into the ring and broke the hold.  The crowd cheered until Seth entered the ring and tossed him out easily.  Seth and the new Cyborg battled up the ramp and into the backstage area, leaving Messier and Monger alone to finish the match as a one-on-one contest.

Without any stamina left, Messier was no match for Hate Monger.  It seemed as if this match was over until Monger whipped Messier into the corner.  What the Dark Legionnaire didn't see was a third Cyborg, who looked just like the one from last week, slide out from under the ring.  This Cyborg climbed onto the ring apron and forced a tag from Messier just before Monger nailed Messier with a big boot.

Now the legal man, Cyborg entered the ring and took advantage of Hate Monger's fatigue.  He finally executed a familiar move once known as The Rolling Thunder, and got the three count on Monger.  As he got to his feet, with the crowd cheering, he removed the mask and revealed himself to be THUNDERSTRIKE KID!

TSK grabbed a microphone.

TSK: "Did you truly think ACWL's 10th Anniversary WOULDN'T have me participating in some fashion? And I know what you're thinking... why help Steve Messier, one of my greatest rivals? Why dress up in that ridiculous Cyborg getup? Why, you wonder?"

"Because I damn sure can get away with it. And what's better than helping one of my greatest rivals... in taking down one of my least threatening... Mr. Hash Omelet. Err... Hobgoblin. Wait, that's not right, either."

As Hate Monger starts to get up, TSK kicks him in the head.

"The point being, Wolfmother, it seems you like to steal. I mean... at the end of ACWL, you, oh great visionary, steal the ACWL's top title, the Action Championship. And, quite frankly... if you like to steal... then let's have it out with steel. At IronMania, how about you and I tangle in a match we'll dub SteelMania. Just you, "The Body Odor Ogre" Have Mercy, against me, "The Technical Prodigy"... ACWL's Greatest Treasure... Thunderstrike Kid. Two competitors locked in a Steel Cage, which inside will contain Steel Chairs, Steel Chains... I think you get the picture. Basically, if it's steel, it'll get to join us in the cage."

Hate Monger tries to get up again, and TSK whacks him in the forehead with the mic.

"The rules are simple, Hong Kong Phooey. Winner will be the one who isn't left laying in a heap, basically."

 

  
  DIAMOND'S INDUCTION INTO THE ACWL HALL OF FAME  
    Diamond's induction began with Alex Foreman lining the entire ramp and stage with security personnel, led by The Fork.  Foreman took a microphone and began to speak.

ALEX: "Dark Legion, I just wanted you to know that you may have ruined last week's induction, but this week, we're better prepared.  I've got the new ACWL head of security, The Fork, ready to keep you at bay if need be.  But that's not all...I still have to punish you for last week.  So, I've decided to sign you in a match against Thunderstrike Kid and his buddies Octopus and Squid.  Don't worry.  You and Seth won't be alone.  You'll get to team up with an old friend of yours.  It'll be the Dark Legion and STORM!  Hope you guys can get along..."

Alex Foreman laughed maniacally until he became aware that it was inappropriate and he stopped. 

Then, Steve Wujcik took the mic and began announcing Diamond.  He brought up her feuds and alliances with Thunderstrike Kid, Brian Justice, Steve Messier, and of course Sapphire too.  Her greatest achievement, becoming the first female Action Champion and also one of the few Grand Slam winners in ACWL history, was also mentioned and met with great applause as Diamond was brought out on stage.  After waiting for the crowd to die down, Wujcik handed Diamond the microphone.

DIAMOND: "Who would have thought that so many years ago when I joined ACWL I would become a Grand Slam Champion and now be inducted into the ACWL Hall of Fame?  It is only fitting, too, that I be inducted after Steve Messier.  I remember going back and forth with him and his sister, Sapphire.  God, I so hated her.  Still, though, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have made it as far as I did in ACWL.  In the end, though, I showed exactly that women can do anything that men can do.  I showed that women can be extreme, risk-taking, and even raise kids at the same time.  It is an honor for me to be inducted and I hope to make everyone proud of me again, and show why I was inducted."

After her speech, Diamond rushed around the ramp, working the crowd and high-fiving fans in the front row.

  
  BACKSTAGE EPILOGUE  
    Seth and the second Cyborg were still battling backstage after the Hall of Fame Induction.  Seth slammed Cyborg into a row of garbage barrels and then removed his mask, revealing Octopus.  As Squid shook his head, he was attacked from behind with a barbwire baseball bat.  The camera panned out and Bryan Davis was standing over Seth, jamming the end of the bat into his lower back.  Davis smiled then handed the bat off-screen.  The camera panned to the side and showed Max Altitude, who took the bat from Davis.  Davis pointed at Seth and Max began to hit the Legonnaire while he was down.  Davis smiled and nodded.  Altitude continued the barrage until Davis pulled the bat from his hands, saying: "Whoa!  Don't over-do it."

As the two men left Seth bloodied and bruised, Davis was heard saying, "See...you gotta quit with the high-risk stuff.  Getting a knee up won't help anyone when you're bringing a baseball bat down on'em!"

The camera faded out..
