The match starts with Van doing his usual shtick, gleaming off into the distance as his opponent takes a legitimate approach to the match. When the bell rings, Van jumps, startled, and drops out of the ring and rolls to the outside. After a few seconds the referee makes eye contact with Van as he's about to start his count. Van looks up with wonderment and says "Hey Stripe man, was that the fire drill?" ... The referee, fed up with Van already, commands he gets back into the ring. Van obliges. Van rolls in and laughs as he gets up from the mat. Ace starts approaching with his hands in the air asking for a strength challenge or a lock-up. Van puts his hands in front of his face and makes a T, asking for a time-out. Ace stops about six feet from Van, looking on puzzled. Van turns and looks at the referee and asks quickly "What is that dude doing?". Ace charges forward, knowing full well that he's seen enough of this before and throws his opponent into the corner turnbuckle where he starts throwing right hands. The referee intervenes and pulls Ace away. Ace puts his hands in the air in a protest of innocence, repeating over and over again that he had it coming but he'll be good.
Van wipes the spit from the edge of his mouth and his eyes grow wide as he looks on. Van comes out of the corner with a semi-serious emotional look and holds his hands in the air looking for a tie-up. Ace smirks and obliges, leaning in and throwing his hands into a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Ace quickly turns his opponent into a side headlock and begins to wrench at the side of Van's head, painfully pulling at his neck muscles. Van has his right arm hooked around Ace's left thigh as his left hand desperately claws at Ace's grip. Ace struggles to contain his laughter as he realizes just how inept his opponent is. The camera zooms in on Van as it looks like he fights back tears. The camera is close enough it catches Ace talking to his opponent, offering to just let him leave the ring and forfeit. Van replies that he doesn't know what forfeit means and his ignorance seems to infuriate Ace. Ace drops his left knee to the ground and shifts his momentum to throw his opponent over while maintaining his strong grip under Van's chin. The move leaves Van sitting down in the middle of the ring with Ace holding a chinlock.
Ace lets go and gets up in a sprint toward the rope, bouncing off the near rope and responding quickly with a swift kick to his opponent's back. Van falls down on one side and rolls forward to sell the kick. Van screams out in pain, exclaiming that he got hit by a truck and that someone should call an ambulance. He grabs the referee's pant leg and pulls him in, fighting back tears, and says "Stripe man... did you see what happened?!" The referee yanks his leg away from Van like his grip was AIDS infested and he didn't want to catch anything.
Ace picks up his pitiful opponent and connects with a Montecito Wildcard. (Skull-Crushing Finale) Van goes limp on impact. The referee slides into position as Ace goes for the pin. 1. 2. Kickout at 2 and 1/2. The referee, Ace, and the crowd share a collective gasp as the would-be-jobber kicked out of a signature maneuver. Ace looks onward puzzled from both knees as his opponent begins to stir. Van grabs the bottom rope to help him up. Ace waits patiently as Van takes ages to get to his feet. As he turns toward the middle of the ring, he takes a really confident backward step as he turns in Ace's direction and throws a wild hay maker that misses by a foot as Ace easily ducks. Ace catches Van and hits him with the Sin City Slam! (Rock Bottom). Van explodes off the mat as his limbs shoot off in different directions as if pulled by multiple gravity fields. His eyes open wide as he rolls out of the ring as Ace gets to his feet on the inside.
