00:00And it's this one, right here.
00:04After two, one, years!
00:11Welcome back to the ring!
00:13From Sydney, Australia!
00:17Step the Lantern!
00:21Two years ago, Step the Lantern shot me a text message and said,
00:25I'm so sorry, I cannot perform going into a major show.
00:30And now, two years later, Megan finally, finally,
00:35after the road that she's been on,
00:37she finally gets to get back into the ring
00:39and compete for the ACW Women's Champion.
00:43In a great way, one of which against J-Rod,
00:46one of the strongest women out there.
00:48Speaking of strong women out there, the champ is here.
01:03And now, ladies and gentlemen, our champion,
01:11from Melbourne, Australia,
01:15the ACW Women's Champion,
01:26Indy Hartwell!
01:28Indy Hartwell, brand new!
01:33Over the course of the time she's been here,
01:35let me tell you something, she's made an impact,
01:37but with becoming the champion,
01:39it was something that was almost destined to happen.
01:43And she is here tonight,
01:45feeling fresh right now on the road with Steph Lantern and J-Rod.
01:48She's got a very better business out.
01:50She's got her work put out for me, let me tell you that, man.
01:53Big target on her back.
01:54Yeah.
01:54All over her back.
01:55These kinds of matches are very difficult for the champions.
01:59There is no championship advantage here.
02:01One fall to a finish, she might be kissing that goodbye.
02:05We shall see, but she's been on a tear here at ACW.
02:08You have to bleed.
02:18Did you notice every gallon that ring is bigger than the ref?
02:21That wasn't very nice, but here we go.
02:24Get out of the ring, man.
02:28Guys, 301 days ago I became your ACW Women's Champion.
02:33Hell yeah.
02:35On a tear here.
02:38Looking brand new every time.
02:39Honestly, every ACW show, it gets better and better.
02:42I just want to give a shout out to my best friend over here, Steph DeLanda.
02:48Wait, what?
02:49She's coming back after two years on the show, her first match back tonight.
02:56That's friend.
02:57Steph, I just want to let you know that nothing and no one is going to take this title from
03:06me.
03:06I just had to let you know.
03:08That's not a knife.
03:12Well, Indy, those are some fighting words.
03:18I haven't wrestled for almost two years.
03:23And it doesn't matter what company I'm at.
03:26It doesn't matter what three levels are on the mat.
03:29What matters is I'm a wrestler and I belong in this ring.
03:34Hell yeah.
03:37Indy.
03:38Here we go.
03:40I got something to say.
03:41I think it's pretty cute that you guys are all seeing over here.
03:45But guess what?
03:47You don't belong.
03:48Go back where you came from.
03:51Oh, whoa.
03:53That's it.
03:55I was going to say, what are they putting in the water in Australia?
03:58They keep providing such great talent.
04:02J-Rodbeck's different.
04:05Now, all-American.
04:07The Wonders need a filthy attack.
04:09Oh!
04:11Oof.
04:13So now, we have the two best friends about to do battle here.
04:16Let's see how long that lasts.
04:17Yeah, I was going to say, friendship's out the window here when it all comes to the richest prize
04:20in the women's division here at ACW.
04:24A strong welcome back champ for Steph the Lantern.
04:27Very warranted and deserved.
04:29Long, long road to get back to doing what she loves.
04:33We're going to watch the Marcus of Queensbury rules for the first five minutes of this.
04:37And then it goes to hair pulling and biting.
04:39Watch.
04:41Are you well?
04:42Is everything okay?
04:43What?
04:45You watch.
04:46Okay.
04:46Mark my words.
04:47All right.
04:48You've doubted me before.
04:49You've been wrong.
04:49I think you're wrong on this one.
04:51Because these women are about to deliver an absolute banger of a matchup.
04:54Here we go now.
04:59Trying to size her up.
05:00Swing and a miss by DeLander.
05:01Hartwell underneath again.
05:03Coming off with a big tackle by Steph DeLander.
05:06Look at that.
05:07Showing a little size.
05:08And you've got to think.
05:09These guys know each other.
05:10Whoa, whoa.
05:11Here's J-Rod.
05:12J-Rod is the wild card in this.
05:15These two know each other.
05:16They don't know what she's going to do.
05:21J-Rod on the outside now.
05:23Looking to make her way back in.
05:24But now cut off by Indy Hartwell.
05:27Pump kick there to the side of the head.
05:37Now a ball dog on the money.
05:40On the ACW logo.
05:42Middle of the ring.
05:42Cover count.
05:44Two count there by senior official Chris D'Antonio.
05:47In charge of this one.
05:51I don't think either of these girls out there can handle J-Rod's strength.
05:55Just saying.
05:56I'm putting that out there.
05:57Yeah, I mean, listen.
05:58Don't make no mistake about it.
05:59It looks like J-Rod has the strength advantage.
06:02Oh!
06:03Ex-German.
06:03And she released that one.
06:14Landed for her troubles.
06:15Yeah, nice shot there by J-Rod.
06:24Oh!
06:25Shot to the chest there.
06:26And now another one.
06:27A big chop.
06:30Swing and a miss.
06:31Oh!
06:31Here's one for ya.
06:33Oh, my mama.
06:34Good lord.
06:36That one hurt you.
06:37I saw you flinch.
06:38I'm dying over here.
06:38That one hurt you hard.
06:39Wow!
06:40Now, J-Rod using the count.
06:41There is no disqualifications here.
06:44She's trying to be a good soldier anyway.
06:48Oops.
06:48Wow.
06:49She wanted to make sure she could read the ACW logo.
06:51Oh.
06:53She's always trying to help.
06:54She's a nice kid.
06:56Covered count.
06:57Two there.
06:58A little lackadaisical cover there by J-Rod.
07:00Maybe showing a little extra confidence.
07:04Oh!
07:05All right.
07:06Yeah, I heard that one here.
07:07That was pretty devastating.
07:10She's seeing it.
07:11She could see it.
07:12Right around her waist.
07:13Off the ropes now.
07:14Coming back.
07:17Oh!
07:19Sidewalk slam.
07:21Just a two count there.
07:26The thing is, she's strong, but she's not expecting these guys to kick out.
07:29And now the lander come in.
07:31School girl!
07:34Two count there.
07:36Number one photo of finishing the unfortunate part for Indy.
07:38Heads up!
07:39And she does not have to be on the receiving end of a pinfall for this to be a title
07:43exchange.
07:44Oh, wait a minute!
07:45Small package!
07:47Still...
07:48She's still hurt from them chops.
07:50Yeah.
07:51Takes a lot out of you.
07:53I mean, imagine if you were in the ring, you'd do that.
07:57I've received a back chop from Dan Moff and didn't recover for three weeks.
08:00Trust me, I know what a chop feels like.
08:02Whatever you guys do on your Saturdays, I don't care.
08:04Oh!
08:04Out of the ring he goes.
08:07I knew I dropped that.
08:08It's a cold line there by the lander.
08:11Another one!
08:12House of Fire!
08:14She stays on her.
08:17Big splash in the corner now.
08:19Sending J-Rod off.
08:21Follows her up with another big splash in the corner.
08:24You've got to negate J-Rod's strength.
08:26Look at that.
08:26Broke right through!
08:28Big stiff boot to the face!
08:31Oh!
08:31She's had enough.
08:32Fugs her off.
08:33Elbow pat...
08:34Whatever that was.
08:35Whoa!
08:36Here we go.
08:36Uh-oh.
08:37What did I say?
08:38Trouble in paradise here.
08:40Hey, but listen.
08:41They know what's at stake here.
08:42They're going to put the friendship aside.
08:43It's the richest prize in this company.
08:46That's what I said, but you laughed at me.
08:48The women's division has gotten so much deeper and deeper as we've gone on.
08:52And it's gotten loaded with talent.
08:58To be in this match in general speaks for all use!
09:04Oh, she got all of that one.
09:06Whoa!
09:07Didn't look pretty, but she hit herself.
09:08I was going to say, she landed solid.
09:11I don't know about Indy on that one.
09:12That spine is...
09:14No words for wear.
09:15Yeah.
09:19Now Indy Hartwell going all the way!
09:24There you go.
09:26Side of the head.
09:28Wait, wait.
09:28What's happening here?
09:29J-Rod.
09:29Oh, boy.
09:33Oh, this is not...
09:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
09:37Oh, boy!
09:39Heads up!
09:40This is like that dream you had.
09:41Tower of...
09:42Oh, my goodness!
09:43It did not end like that!
09:45I promise you!
09:45Two seconds.
09:47Two seconds.
09:48No.
09:51All women down.
09:53How's that?
09:54Hold on, hold on, hold on.
09:55Guys, whoa.
09:55That was a good one.
09:56What the...
09:57Guys, get some security out of here.
09:59There's a fan.
10:00There's another fan.
10:00There's another fan.
10:01No, I did not.
10:02That's not a fan, guys.
10:03Hold on.
10:04I didn't know Paul was like this.
10:05Is that...
10:07No.
10:08Yes, it is.
10:08No, it's not.
10:10That is...
10:11I'm trying to get confirmation here.
10:13That's...
10:14That is indeed vicious Vicky Venuto.
10:16What is she doing here?
10:19Last time he saw...
10:20Oh!
10:21He fired her!
10:22Last time he saw her...
10:25One...
10:25Two...
10:26Oh, wait!
10:27What the...
10:28Oh!
10:29You gotta be kidding me!
10:32Maybe she's drunk.
10:33Drunk?
10:33No!
10:34No!
10:34Not even close.
10:35This is...
10:37Vicky has aired the grievances plenty of times.
10:41But she wants a piece of that title shot.
10:43She has not gotten it.
10:45She keeps getting passed over.
10:48Look at J-Rod.
10:49She knows.
10:50She's ready.
10:51She's stalking her.
10:52Here we go.
10:53Spear!
10:54Oh!
10:54The distraction of Vicky!
10:56One!
10:57Two!
10:59No!
11:00But now Vicky's being escorted back up to the ramp!
11:04Get out of here!
11:05They should've got more security from Vicky.
11:07Psycho Jaquina nutcase lead!
11:09Let's be fair.
11:14So now we're...
11:15What's happening inside the ring now?
11:17J-Rod was going for the title.
11:19Because she won, didn't she?
11:20She pinned it.
11:20No, she didn't win.
11:21It was too late.
11:21What's she doing now?
11:23She's doing what she's gotta do.
11:26American ingenuity.
11:27All of a sudden, championship on the line.
11:30All bets are off.
11:33Swing him!
11:33Oh, no!
11:35J-Rod crushed her!
11:39The lander up!
11:41No!
11:41Oh, my God!
11:43That backfired.
11:44After two years!
11:45Are you kidding?
11:46No!
11:48No!
11:58The new ATW
12:04wins champions!
12:07Step the lander!
12:15Step the lander, after nearly two years away, has come into ACW, made her debut, and is
12:26walking out ACW Women's Champion!
12:31There she is!
12:39An unfortunate turn of events for Indy Harwell.
12:42Wow!
12:43That's gotta be addressed, I mean, Vicky Benuto had no business being here.
12:47I mean, in the end, what did Vicky do?
12:49What did she do?
12:50I mean, she took Indy's eyes off the prize, and all of a sudden, the whole match gets thrown!
12:55Hey, it's nothing much of us didn't do!
12:59Yeah, wow!
13:00Good day!
13:00Good day!
13:01That's it.
13:02That's it.
13:03One, two, one, two, one.
13:06Go.
13:08J-Rod beside herself.
13:10The ladies and gentlemen, congratulations.
13:12The new champ.
13:12The step to land her new champ.
13:14Wow.
13:15What a night.
13:17Here we go.
13:17How about some power for your efforts?
13:21All hail the new champ.
13:23She's got a great job.
