The Arrival credit: Criminal The scene opens up showing the inside of a huge penthouse. Crystal chandeliers, glass tables, marble floors, as well as the biggest flat screen television anyone has ever seen. You can hear someone approaching the door. The camera cycles towards the door, to see nothing more than Criminal walk into his home that he has not been at in a few weeks. He walks through the doorway dripping water from the ocean, while making his way to the counter. He slams down the mail and proceeds to the bathroom for a change of clothes. The camera continues to cycle in astonishment at how nice this crook keeps things. After a few minutes Criminal walks out of the bathroom and back to the counter. He begins going through the mail.[glow=red,2,300]Criminal:[/glow] Junk, Junk, Junk, subpeona...hmmmm...garbage. A letter from the landlord? Criminal proceeds to open the letter.[glow=red,2,300]Criminal:[/glow] He's moving, well congrats to him. He wants me to move too? Where the hell am I going to go? My jobs here, well, actually my job is everywhere. A slight laugh is heard.[glow=red,2,300]Criminal:[/glow] It looks as if Trent might have to wait for his revenge. I am needed back in the states for some more... wait this is being recorded isn't it. camera man: sir we are live right now! [glow=red,2,300]Criminal:[/glow] SHIT!! I hate these fucks, they follow me everywhere. Well I just have some you know, business. Another evil smirk is seen.[glow=red,2,300]Criminal:[/glow] The damn landlord is going to demolish this wonderful place, and didn't even give me that much notice. Then he asks for my help. What happened to people doing things on their own. Oh, wait, it's because they can't. Police have these people scared around here. Well, we are learning who is beginning to scare even the police. However, seems how we are live I just have one thing to say. Criminal drops the letter showing a minor taste of disgust. He walks towards the camera man and looks into the camera.Criminal: Before I kick this fuck out of my house, this message is again for Trent. Now Trent I have taken not one but two of you vehicles. Watched as YOU paid for the first one. Well I helped you pay for it. Criminal begins to chuckle a little.[glow=red,2,300]Criminal[/glow]: Once i make myself a little more time to train, I am sure to take that Entertainment Championship from you. Right now though, its time for me to go find myself something that you lack. A BITCH!! Criminal walks away laughing as the scene fades.OOC: not my best work, but I was in a bit of a rush. It gets the point across.

Segment: The Night He Came Home by Flamingo The ACW cameras cut backstage to a cramped, black hallway – presumably, it was towards the entrance of the arena's small boiler room. Despite the camera opening, it certainly wasn't by the cameraman's choice whose audible grunts of frustration could be heard as the camera shot id directed at the floor and is violently shaken and tossed. : Turn it on. I said turn on the f**king camera! The cameraman is shoved against the wall of the narrow hallways and the camera shot turns into an unfocused blur of a human being against the opposite wall. : FOCUS ON ME, DAMMIT! As the shot becomes clearer, a familiar face smiles into the camera. His shaggy blond hair was disheveled and his finger tips and forearms had traces of rapidly drying blood on them. Adrian Flamingo, ACW newest roster member, wasn't wasting any time getting back into the swing of things.Adrian Flamingo: That's much better. ACW, hello once again! I'm sorry I couldn't have come to the ring and said hello to you all once again after my good ol' pal, BK London announced that he resigned me, but I was already part way through a little mission of mine. See, I wasn't supposed to be here tonight, but the destruction of the ACW Arena and the general chaos of the company right now made it really easy to sneak back in. I've been driven to coming back here. Something in the back of my brain has been telling me to come back. Something has been making me want to leave my home and hurt somebody because I NEED it. See, I want to hurt every single one of you harmless little nobodies for the same reason that I'm going to maul this simple little cameraman... Immediately the cameraman bolted, dropping the camera in the process and making a mad run for help. He didn't get far though as the shot from the abandoned camera saw Adrian pouncing on the man's back and bringing him down with a series of blows to his back. After jerking the man up from his t-shirt, Adrian drug the dazed man back to his camera. Adrian Flamingo: No! NO NO! WE DISCUSSED THIS! You don't leave until I say you can! Now sit down and keep rolling you little worm. The cameraman complied and resumed his position of filming. Adrian Flamingo: Yeah, you see, I hurt those people just like I'm going to hurt this man for the simple fact that I can now. I wanna tell you a story, ACW. Gather round and listen to Big Poppa Flamingo as he tells you a little tale! I SAID GATHER ROUND! Adrian sat on the floor and pulled the cameraman down to a sitting position. Adrian Flamingo: There, isn't that better, ACW? When I was a little kid, there were these boys in the neighborhood who used to absolutely beat the crap out of me every day when I came home from school. I never did anything to provoke it, it just happened because I was from a wealthy, white family and they were a bunch of poor kids from across the tracks who couldn't be persuaded with. As it turns out, the company that my Dad was vice president of marketing for had just laid off most of the small town that we were living in for the time being and now their dads had no way of bringing home a paycheck – totally my fault, right? Well, one day, I came home from my daily pummeling with a fat lip and bloody nose and asked my Dad if he'd enroll me in martial arts or boxing so I could defend myself. Do you want to know what that son of a bitch told me? I swear to God, I'll never forget this. Hell, it was the very reason I wanted to stab that bastard in the face while he slept when I turned 16! He told me, with a straight face... “Adrian, violence is NOT the answer!” So I washed my face and iced my lip before retreating into a pile of comic books for the night. The next day, those kids were waiting for me outside of the gates of the private community my family lived in and I tried, I REALLY TRIED, to walk away and ignore them... but I couldn't. Before I knew what happened, one of those little pricks jumped me from behind and started smashing my face into the concrete before him and his buddies turned me over to start punching me in the face like they always did. So, ya wanna know what I did? I picked up the biggest rock that was close to me and BASHED that kid in the face! Adrian chuckled a little to himself as he retrieved a fork from the inside of his denim jacket. Without looking up at the camera, Flamingo ran his fingers over the top of his sharpened utensil and glared at it like he was in a trance. Adrian Flamingo: The cracking and crying noise that filled my little ears was so loud that it almost turned my stomach but I slowly opened my eyes to see how bad I hurt him. His face was swollen, bloody, and he was crying like the little coward he was. He and his friends ran straight home and I didn't find out what happened to him until the next day. Crushed orbital bone... three broken teeth. His parents didn't have the health insurance to pay for it and their lawsuit against my parents for it led them to bankruptcy because they didn't have the legal manpower to match up. My parents didn't believe what happened, saying that the kid hurt himself and was just trying to steal money from us... those boys never bothered me again... and the moral is this: violence is ALWAYS the answer! Adrian grabbed the front of the camera and pulled it towards his face in a forced close-up. Adrian Flamingo: See, ACW, I'm a pretty messed up guy. I like to get hurt. I like to bleed. I LOVE to hurt people because it makes me feel real good and I like to feel REALLY REALLY good. I just battered and bruised four people who have nothing of any value for me aside from the pure joy of massacring them. I know this and you all know it. If it weren't for Chairman Gingerdude giving me the boot, ACW would probably be a crater in the ground right now – but thanks to the good hearted BK London: I'm now a full-time member on this roster again. So, that begs the question... what next? Do I re-ignite the war between myself and BK? Nope. He simply doesn't have anything that I want anymore. I took his blood, I took his family, and, for a short period of time, I took his career. I'm done with him. Do I make a challenge at Dave Shadow's ACW World title? Nah, winning belts has never really been my thing. Besides, if I were an ACW champion, I'd be a coward little bitch like everyone who has ever held those titles who run away whenever someone wants to play. Do I choose a side in whatever war is going to go on between ACW and Tiki's group? Nope, can't say I care enough. ACW is a means to an end for me. I want to hurt people and you charming, sophisticated match makers just line up my victims for me and lead them straight into the slaughter. Hell, I'm sure if Tiki won this little beef, SLA would do your work just as well. Adrian stood up and scraped his fork against the red brick wall, further sharpening each jagged point at the tip of it. His speech pattern became more stabilized and his random shouting ceased. Instead he spoke calmly and confidently.Adrian Flamingo: Nah, see, I had an epiphany. I'm here to burn ACW or whatever name it wants to call itself. I'm an agent of chaos in a promotion that has turned into nothing but chaos. I will thrive, rise to the top, and make everything I touch look as ugly as I am. See, when I was here, I left little scars on all of my opponents. Nick Durden and BK London have the physical scars of what I'm capable of, while Tiki's initial inability to beat me formed a scar on his psyche for awhile. That's what I am as a person and as a member of ACW's roster – a big, old, discolored scar. I want to scar up ACW just like I've scarred my victims tonight. Before, I was just a ticking time bomb... now? I'm a cancer caused by the radiation of that bomb's detonation. What worries me is that I don't think anyone here can stop me. Your one gleaming hope is sitting fat, happy, and retired. Your loss... my gain. You can't win... you don't even know the rules to the game. Adrian stepped away from the wall and turned his attention to the camera once again.Adrian Flamingo: Now, for YOU. You are the first on the list of people who are going to burn. I know you better than ANYONE IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD! I'm going to gut you, pal! I'm going to scar you, buddy! I'm going to bite the lips off YOUR FACE! Every little bit of pain you EVER caused me is coming back on you ten fold. I'll be seeing you VERY soon. With his rant over, Adrian looked past the camera with a smile on his face. Adrian Flamingo: Now... as for you. You're looking a little pale, friend. How about we put a little more color on your face? Adrian quickly lunged towards the cameraman with his fork in hand and a wild look in his eyes. The camera fell to the ground with a bang but the audible sounds of struggle could still be heard. Cameraman: Flamingo... no! NO!! [ Static.]

“HOT TOPIC” Credit: Thunderkiss “As a celebrity, there is nothing worse than seeing something bearing your image thrusted upon a clearance rack in the back of the store. It is a cold, bitter message given to you that says “oh hello, nobody wants your stuff anymore, you’re becoming irrelevant.” It’s bad enough when it’s a second hand account; it’s even worse when you experience it first hand. I knew this morning the instant my feet hit the floor that I should have stayed in bed. It is times like this that I truly believe that humans are given a natural instinct to predict danger upon birth. If I was only smart enough to listen to mine then I would have not ventured to the mall. But no, I just had to go hunting for some tight groupie ass, something that is also becoming a rarity these days. I remember when all I had to do is shake my dick in some chick’s direction and she’d start salivating like a starved dog in front of a thick, juicy steak. Now I can’t even get this pudgy goth to look at me with lust filled eyes. I thought slipping a ring around my finger would entice the opposite sex even more. Instead, it repels them like an INS agent outside Home Depot. Thunderkiss: Pardon me, little lady. There seems to be a mistake on the price of his merchandise. Surely such quality threading should be priced higher.Hot Topic Clerk: No. That’s priced right. They have been sitting collecting dust ever sense we got them in. Nobody seems to want them. “Do not punch her, lawsuit. Do not punch her, lawsuit. Do not punch her, lawsuit.” Thunderkiss: Well, maybe you aren’t advertising enough! I mean, I don’t see any posters or banners saying that you sell Thunderkiss gear here.Hot Topic Clerk: We did when they first came out but nobody still picked them up. Wrestling stuff doesn’t sell like it used too. Except for that one black dude. We sold all of his shirts. Thunderkiss*with great hesitation*: Please don’t tell me he wears a singlet and a mouth guard? Hot Topic Clerk: Yeah him! He’s pretty popular with our customers. “Two more years and the world and all these idiots go boom. It couldn’t come sooner enough as far as I’m concerned. Maybe if I am lucky, it will come sooner. Helga looks like she just had an epiphany and that could cause a massive explosion in her head that will surely kill us all.” Hot Topic Clerk: Say, you sure look like the guy on the tee shirt. Thunderkiss *rolling eyes*: Wow you must be a physic because that’s exactly who I am!“Kill. Me. Now.” Hot Topic Clerk: Oh yeah! I remember you now. My younger brother used to have all your posters on his wall. Your action figures too. This was about 2 years ago, of course. “When it rains, it pours.” Thunderkiss *looking disenchanted*: Of course.Soccer Mom: Excuse me. “And now I have people reaching over me. I swear, I am going to lose it any seco- Oh wow. HELLLLLLLO NURSE!” Soccer Mom: May I please have one of those Twilight tee shirts on the top rack? “Wow, look at this MILF. Hey, maybe it’s time to accept that single girls do not want anything to do with married men. Maybe I need to stop looking past the women who are different than myself and more towards the ones I have something in common with, namely this ring.” Thunderkiss: Well aren’t you just a nice tall drink of sexy.Soccer Mom: Excuse me? Thunderkiss: Say, why don’t you forgo that little silly tee shirt and instead purchase this one? I mean, look at the hunk on this shirt!Soccer Mom: Give up this tee shirt? For that? You must be joking. Edward is so dreamy! Thunderkiss: That sissy? What does he have that I don’t have?!Soccer Mom: Look at his handsome face, his dreamy eyes. I could go on but we don’t have all day. Thunderkiss: You see, women like you are the reason that men all over are losing their testicles. A measure of a man used to be how he protected his gal, made a living bruising his knuckles and providing for his family. I can change the oil in my car, can that metro? No, but I bet he sure wouldn’t mind going to the spa with you to have his ball sack waxed. You’d like that, wouldn’t you, saggy tits. You and all your testosterone sucking kind!Soccer Mom: You are a bitter, bitter man! Hot Topic Clerk: Yeah, what a creeper. Thunderkiss: You’re damn right I am bitter, sister! I am tired of watching my brothers get passed by because they won’t paint their toe nails with you or cry with you after sex. Obviously you brood of boobs will not discover good taste so I am going to limit your choices. I am so enraged by this bullshit that I am going to go back home to Hollywood where I WILL have a nice face to face with the lady boy whose face is plastered all over this tee shirt! And when I am done, the next time a piece of ass like walks into a store like this, they will purchase something that will make them long for a strong, solid thrust and a slap on the ass!Hot Topic Clerk: Um. Yeah. I am going to have to ask you to like, leave. You are scaring away our customers. Thunderkiss: Believe me, Bouncing Betty, it would be my pleasure. I’ll be thinking of you both when I take this tee shirt and shove it straight up Robert Patterson’s ass so far that he’ll be able to floss his teeth with it.“Hey waitasecond. He just may like that. As much as I can’t stand looking at this guy, he is just playing the character off some twisted cunt bucket’s script. This is why women should be in the kitchen making us sandwiches instead of doings men’s work like writing. Well, I’ll put a stop to this!” Thunderkiss: You know, on second thought, I’d better try something else. Later, twat pockets![FADE]

School Yard Tactics. Chris Phenomenal and Freddy Maddox
Tonight to say the least has not gone Chris Phenomenal’s way, from the meeting with Thunderkiss, to the Christmas parcel and finally the rejection by BK London. With nothing left to do tonight one may as well get out of dodge before the show is over. With Senator still packing things up, Chris stands patiently waiting by the exit on the outside, hands in the pockets of his heavy winter coat trying to brave the elements. Soon however the door swings open and a breath of refreshing hot air hits Chris as he doesn’t look at the door.
Chris Phenomenal: ’bout fuckin’ time. It’s freezing out here, I mean, I could cut ice cubes with my nip…
Freddy Maddox: …Do I know you?
Chris turns around and seeing Freddy unexpectedly is taken a back, the new comer to Alpha Championship Wrestling still unfamiliar to Chris. Turning to look at him Chris just shakes his head, the long night growing even longer
Chris Phenomenal: Who the fuck are you?
Freddy Maddox: Well, uh, I'm Freddy Maddox. I was here hoping to get a contract and well-
Upon further study Chris recognizes the mop hair and the downcast eyes and smiles.
Chris Phenomenal: I remember now, you’re that kid. The one who earlier was fighting for a contract and came up just a little bit short.
Chris holds up his hand, his thumb and forefinger about an inch apart in a mocking gesture as Freddy Maddox looks on when Chris realizes he’s got an idea.
Chris Phenomenal: But hey, I’ve got an idea here that can make you apart of ACW.
Chris grins at his crafty ploy.
Chris Phenomenal: You see this bag here, it’s getting awfully heavy so why don’t you hold onto it. You can be like one of the guys we used to have that waited on our beck and call. Our lap dogs.
Chris shrugs the duffel bag off his shoulder and absent mindedly holds it out then drops it, presumably into the hands of Freddy Maddox. The sound of the bag falling into the light snow however turns Chris attention back the man beside him who looks down trodden at the bag.
Chris Phenomenal: What the fuck do you think you’re doing?
Freddy Maddox: U-uh sorry, it's just, I GOT-
Chris Phenomenal: You best be fuckin’ sorry.
With the night at hand Chris’ temper has finally reached the end of his string as he grabs Maddox by the scruff of his shirt and throws him against the closed door. Freddy lets out a help having barely recovered from beating Pilko inflicted on him earlier.
Chris Phenomenal: Why the fuck are you droppin’ my shit. You wanted to be apart of ACW and I gave you the chance and you drop my shit.
Freddy Maddox: B-but it wasn't my fault-
Chris Phenomenal: You best be bending down to pick that up.
Maddox tries calm the situation and bends over to pick up the bag but Chris doesn’t let him, instead grabbing him and throwing him into the snow drift beside the door just as it opens and Senator walks out.
Senator: Ready to go.
Chris Phenomenal: Yeah. Chicago here we come.
With that Senator takes the lead walking past the snow drift and the flailing Maddox as Chris walks up beside him.
Chris Phenomenal: Welcome to ACW kid.
Maddox pulls himself out of the snow drift, brushing off the snow and holding his back as Chris walks past and the scene fades out.

Out of Order Jack Jefferson / BK London BK London is probably starting to regret his decision to accept the offer of being “Chairman for the Evening” as he calls Jack Jefferson into his office. The “office” is little more than an equipment cupboard with a desk wedged into it but times are hard and BK is getting rewarded handsomely for this one night of work, so he doesn’t complain. He gestures for the sullen Jefferson to sit in the school-like plastic chair opposite him and while he doesn’t look happy about it he does, to be fair, comply. A stern look on his face, BK begins the dressing down.BK London: Whoa whoa whoa, I may only be the interim Chairman for the evening - but even I am against you attacking an official tonight. What in the HELL exactly were you thinking out there you -- Jefferson: I can do whatever the fuck I like. It’s the referee’s fault I don’t have my title anymore. They have it coming! BK London: They? So you're really gonna blame the referees for your loss at Winter's Discontent?! Jefferson: You’re damn skippy I’m blaming all of them. They’re all in it together so they can receive their punishment together! BK face palms at this flawed logic before taking a deep breath and setting his face to neutral, aggravating someone with such a legendarily short fuse isn’t going to help solve anything.BK London: Are you even understanding what the hell you just did out there? ACW has gone through a ton of changes in the past few weeks and everything and EVERYONE is currently in limbo. Jobs aren't guaranteed and we're not even sure if this company is goin to stay open longer! And because you're former ACW Champion, you decide that you're going to go out and start destroying referees left & right?! I run things tonight, I have half a mind to suspend or fine you! Jefferson: What the fuck would you know about it? You’re a washed-up old has-been who can’t cut it anymore and is on a one-week power trip! BK London: What the fuck would I know about it? I've lost the ACW Championship four times - and you didn't see me out there slugging referees and blaming them, you know what I did after each loss? I manned up and I won the title AGAIN! If you really think this is going to get you a title shot again then you're sorely mistaken... Jefferson: No, what’s going to get me my title back is beating down Dave Shadow out there in that ring, tonight! But, oh no, instead I’m facing schmucks like The Red Panther? Give me a fucking break! Whatever happened to my rematch clause? BK London: The way I understand it, your rematch clause don’t mean shit without Gingerdude around. It was his signature on that contract and now he’s gone. Your contract is only good for your guaranteed money but, as far as I know, it’s up to whoever takes over whether they want to honour your contract or not. So I’d keep my nose clean if I were you. You’re not champion anymore so you don’t have any immunity from simply being dropped! Jefferson: Fuck you, I don’t need a lecture because all of a sudden you’ve decided you’re Mr. Big Shot. You’re only in charge this week, you haven’t even got any power! BK: Oh no? I might only be in charge for one week but I damn sure do have power. So, you’re on an official ACW probation! Any more repeats of what just happened out there and you’ll no longer be eligible for a World Title shot in ACW ever again! Stunned, and evidently furious, Jefferson storms out and slams the door behind him, causing the solitary light bulb above BK’s head to wobble frantically. BK simply shakes his head at Jefferson, thinking about the stupidity of him potentially throwing all that talent away over an attitude problem.
Fade to Black.

Match 5: ACW World Championship Match Dave Shadow vs. Trace Birmingham (Credit: Shadow / Freeman) Here come the drums! Here come the drums! As the ever familiar music hits the arena’s sound system, Dave Shadow walks out through the curtains. Now in wrestling gear, he holds the title above his head, a big smile on his face. Dave closes his eyes for a few moments, allowing the cheers and chants of the fans to wash over him. For so long, he has dreamed about making his entrance as the ACW champion, and tonight, that dream finally becomes a reality. He walks down the ramp, slapping the fan’s hands, before hopping up onto the ring apron and climbing into the ring. He walks over to the corner and poses for the fans with the belt, triggering hundreds of flashing lights from cameras, eager to capture moments from his first title defence.
Dave holds the title, as his music dies down. His smile disappears, concentration washing over him, as Dave jumps up and down, warming up for the match.?: HOLD ON DAVE SHADOW! HOLD ON! Trace makes his way out from behind the back holding a microphone in hand. Greg walks behind him, and seems anxious, not knowing what Trace is going to say.Trace: YOU MAY HAVE COME INTO TODAY THINKING THAT YOU WERE THE WORLD CHAMPION, BUT YOU WILL COME OUT OF TODAY THINKING THAT YOU ARE NOT THE WORLD CHAMPION! FOR TODAY, TRACE BIRMINGHAM, THE GREATEST WRESTLER IN THE HISTORY OF TIME, SHALL BECOME THE ACW CHAMPION! He waits to hear a crowd reaction, and gets little.Trace: Er…I….All these fans out here are SPEECHLESS cause they know how awesome I really am, and YOU DAVE SHADOW, shall be my second victim! I have wrestled in 1300 cities, 500 countries and 15 towns! I have been undefeated in my whole career! NEVER ONCE HAVE THESE SHOULDERS BEEN PINNED TO THE MAT. AND TONIGHT I AM GOING TO WIN FOR ALL THESE FANS! He gets little reaction, and so resorts to other tactics…Trace: er…AND WIN THE TITLE RIGHT HERE IN…er…. He thinks. Where are they again?Trace: ER…um…I…er…win the title right here in…this…WONDERFUL PLACE THEY CALL…uh...OH THAT REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING. He says with a great segway to save face, and he recovers as best as he can as he makes his way up the steps.Trace: You may think you’re a good wrestler Shadow, but I know, and Greg knows, and you know, and these fans know that you are nothing more than some guy who thinks he’s a good wrestler! You don’t have the true talent that I do! And that was my awesome promo, so when you’re done shaking at my scary words then get ready to lose, Shadow, because it’s going to be the last time you do! Trace hands the microphone to the ref, seemingly not realizing the fact that his final words made little to no sense, as Dave reluctantly hands his championship belt over as well.Edison: Well, this is it, Dave’s first championship defence. Do you think he’s nervous? McNally: Knowing Dave, he’s not underestimating Trace. It would be very easy to write him off before the match began, but Dave knows how dangerous it can be to underestimate someone. The ref rings the bell, and the match is underway. Trace walks forward, getting ready to swing a punc.... BLINK! Dave grabs Trace by the head and drags him down to the canvas with a massive front lock bulldog. Trace eats the ground and lies flat out, as Dave rolls off him. Dave looks to the crowd, shrugs and rolls Trace back towards him. Shoulders down, Dave goes for the cover. 1... 2... 3!!! The bell rings again, as Dave clambers to his feet, and the ref raises his hands. Dave smiles to the crowd, as he successfully defends his championship belt for the very first time.

Shadow stands up victorious with his title in hand, as the small crowd cheers him on. Due to the number of people on their feet and the general noise level in the room, no one notices Vortex come in through the back door of the room. As Shadow basks in the cheers, Vortex brings a portable microphone to his mouth as he makes his way to the ring.
Vortex: Hey…Dave? Is that you?
The fans attention is immediately redirected to Vortex, and the atmosphere changes from happiness to bewilderment in a second. Shadow throws his title belt over his shoulder, and places his hands on his hips, as he looks towards Vortex.
Vortex: Oh, that IS you! Sorry, with the new hairdo and all I didn’t recognize you!
Shadow rolls his eyes and calls the ring attendant over and asks for a microphone.
Dave: Vortex, I'm just had a GRUELING match so please do excuse my bluntness here. But what the hell do you want?
Vortex makes his way to the barricade and steps over it.
Vortex: Now, that’s not a very nice way to greet someone! I simply want to have a conversation with you…about something very important!
A few obligatory yells of ‘get a room!’ emerge from the crowd as Vortex begins to make his way up the ring steps. Shadow simply stands in the ring with his arms folded glaring at Vortex, who now steps through the ropes and stands a few feet from Shadow.
Vortex: As you can see, I no longer have a title.
Dave: I fail to see how that's my problem....
As soon as Shadow finishes his sentence he can sense that something is definitely wrong here. Vortex’s joyous tone was nothing but a cover-up and as fast as lighting he crosses the ring. Shadow drops his title to the mat and tries his best to defend against Vortex, however Vortex is a bit too fast and nails a Whirlwind of Destruction (Tornado DDT) on the fallen title. Quite a bit of hostility comes from the crowd, who is more confused than ever at Vortex’s motives. Vortex simply rolls Shadow aside, picks up the title, looks at it, picks up Shadow’s fallen microphone, and looks down at Shadow before speaking once more.
Vortex: I guess it just became your problem.
Vortex drops the microphone and holds the title belt up, causing more boos from the crowd. While Vortex’s motives are largely unclear, one thing is for certain…ACW is becoming a very unpredictable place. Dave Shadow said that he wanted someone to step up and make an impact. It would appear as if Vortex just took him up on the challange. As the show fades, Vortex stands over Dave's body. Title high in the air. And a message sent quite clearly.
The crowd boos, sounding like 10,000 men. In amongst them, one is silent. He listens, and watches.
Tonight has been all about reconnaissance for him. Tomorrow, he will make himself known to the ACW Roster, and the whole wrestling world.
Samuel Hawthorne thinks that his most recent acquisition could turn out to be his most fascinating yet...
Fade to Black.
End of Show.

A quick note for everyone; there will be an "official letter" from the new owner of ACW circulated in the next day or so. This will give you some background for the character and a steer on how to present him in your segments. This will be a brand new character with no previous affilliations with any of the ACW roster, so that everyone is able to write on an equal footing. Once you've read the letter, please feel free to contact me with any queries.

Very good show, good to see us hitting 3 pages on a normal show again. A few select comments:
-As much as I hate to admit it I was amused by Freeman's segments. However, I realised this is because Trace is EXACTLY what I picture Freeman to be like in IRL
-I enjoyed Jefferson's segments as well, they all fitted in well together and it felt like each one had a purpose
-Good to see Mr. Red back. I'm interested to see what he's going to do now he's back as he's always been underrated
-It's also good to see Flamingo back. His return segment was very well written, as always. He's always been one of the best writers we've had in that style of promo and he didn't disappoint. He's sure to shake things up in the coming weeks.
Overall great job, if I didn't mention you it isn't because I didn't enjoy your writing, those were just the few that particulary caught my attention.

I really liked the way my match vs. TJ was written, strait up fight to the finish lol! That being said, I felt there should have been more competition to the match ups on this show, it all seemed less about them match ups on schedule and more about the "entertainment" stuff <_>. Maybe the PPV's are the big match up shows lol but hey, it was a great show and I was happy to read it! Good match TJ and nice win ^^!

^We started a while ago doing match summaries on the regular shows, and full matches on the PPVs. This was to encourage people to actually write, and plus, there was not much incentive to write a full great match on the shows because usually many wouldnt even read the show matches. Plus it saves you from being burned out of match writings on the PPVs. THe main event of the weekly shows are generally full though, though this one was short for obvious reasons.
Feedback coming tonight guys, but I am so happy that we got to the third page again, and am so happy to see all the old faces back. Nice work everyone!

YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT! ITS HERE! SOME TUESDAY NIGHT... Freeman Feedback Tonight we kick off a new year of ACW, with a show that is extremely important. But did everybody deliver? Let’s find out as we jump right in! Change (BK London) – Hm. I liked how it felt like a real opening promo. A good opener is good for the show, and this accomplished that. It did set up a lot for later on, and though we knew Flamingo was coming back it was nice to see BK lift the ban. That being said, I felt that this wasn’t given as much effort as I know BK is capable of giving, but all the same, it was still pretty good, if not sort of underwhelming. I just felt that it all happened a bit too quickly, and I didn’t like the “Oh, by the way, no more IN or tag titles lol” thing he did at the end. I would have liked a more fitting end for these belts somehow. Even if they had to go, I would have liked it to happen in a more important way than the ending line of a segment in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment. All that being said, this did set up the rest of the show well, and made me want to see what superstars are going to be interacting with BK throughout the night. They’re Everywhere You Turn (Taylor/Bryce/Robertson/Maddox) – It’s nice to see Taylor writing again, and I can’t wait to see how his new character turns out. My problem with this one is it answered next to nothing. What I mean is, while it was well written, there was nothing in there that really tells me what Maddox is like, and as of yet I am not able to tell what kind of character he is. As I figure you have more segments throughout the night, though, I won’t complain much. Just as I’m feedbacking as I read the show, I am commenting that at this point I would have liked to see a little more of exactly what this character is like. Oh, and I don’t like first person segments but that’s just personal preference <_< A New Era in ACW (Dave Shadow, TJ, Willaims – The epic blue and red text combo returns! I was happy to see Williams, because I wasn’t sure if he was still coming back or not. Now, this was another segment that while well written I did have some problems. I felt that the whole stable that Dave Shadow is starting is a bit…random? A face stable is not nearly as common as a heel one, and this one seems to be without much of a purpose. I mean I get what Dave was saying, but I just didn’t really buy it that much. It just seemed a little weird, how randomly this stable formed. But yeah, it was a good segment besides that. Future Imperfect (Thunderkiss) – Agh, more random first person. I told TK already that I didn’t like the new format, and miss the old one, as the bold contrasting with the regular is sorta tough on the eyes, and I really liked his blue text. All that aside, I was amused at the idea of TK greeting card. It’s nice having TK writing again. This wasn’t the most eventful segment but I have no real complaints. I want to see what’s going to happen with Thunderkiss once the new manager comes in. Merry Christmas Chris (CP and Senator) – I love Senator. Pretty good segment which did a good job of making me wonder what’s going to happen. I hope Senator mixes it up with some thugs. That’d be awesome. I didn’t like the first part of the Paige storyline, when it was like an action movie or something, but it has gotten better since then. I just wish there was a recap so I could refresh myself on what exactly happened. (Is there a recap?) 99 Problems But The Beach Ain’t One (Panther) – The title made me laugh. Is this a new Panther font? You’d be surprised what you can find on a proof-read, Panther. Trust me, I’ve found some really weird stuff. Anyways, since when was Panther so aggressive he sent people to the ER? <_< Either way pretty decent segment. And Panther should have a Jedward gimmick. Somehow. Recruiting (Michael Smart) – Q-spal FTW. This reminded me of the Office episode where Michael has the nicknames to remember everyone at the other branch. “Mole, Mexico, Baldy, sugar-boobs, black woman” Anyways, Michael Smart always has good segments, though he himself was not in this one. Where is this going? I have no idea. I will comment more when I see what this is leading to. January 4th - 2 Days ‘til Showtime (Jefferson) – I really liked this one! I loved the idea of a depressed Jefferson just completely letting himself go after losing his title. It’s nice to see him reacting to the fact that his world title is gone. I liked him destroying the TV when Shadow was on it. I talk about how much I hate opening italics, but I guess Jefferson is just amazingly good at them, because I wasn’t bored reading them, and in fact thought the opening paragraphs were the best part. Hm. Imagine that. Segment Name - Part 1 - Face to Face! (Origin Saga Chapter 1)/Mysterious Note! (Badger) – I am confused by that intro. Was that in a past segment? I don’t remember it, so unless it was from like Winter’s Discontent (I think I missed a segment or two) then I don’t know what that was. The ultra long title makes me feel that this is going to be a very long story, whatever it is, and so it’s hard to judge from this, which seemed to just be starting it. I will say, though, that Badger is obviously a very talented writer. Also this segment is much better if you picture it being Mr. Red and not Badger’s pet <_< A message to the Entertainment Champ (Criminal) – So Criminal and Panther have the same text now? Panther should change, Criminal had it first I just realized <_<. Anyways, pretty good segment. The idea of Criminal stealing Wheeler’s car, crashing it, and then stealing money to pay for the damages is kind of ridiculous and over-the-top, but eh. People said the Criminal name didn’t make much sense, so at least he’s doing Criminal things now, and in a way it’s kind of cool I suppose. I think the segment worked, even if it was a little dumb. Not contracted? Red/BK – Hey it’s the REAL Mr. Red. Nice to have him back. The explanation for his absence made sense, and I thought it was a good segment. WTF at random Jonny Spade though <_<. I think this sets a good potential storyline, which will be Red attempting to get his job back. Sounds interesting to me. I give my approval <_< Pep Talk (Badger) – Jefferson’s centered font is becoming more and more common and he didn’t even do it HIMSELF this show. Badger seems way different from his previous ACW run so Im assuming it was three month ruled. At least this time he doesn’t whine about hating ACW <_< (That was Badger right?) Pretty good segment that took a random match and made it seem interesting. That’s always good. Moving On (VorteX) – It’s too bad VorteX is no longer Entertainment Champion but he had a good run. So basically this was a standard promo about how he’s not the ET champ anymore, and plans to go on to bigger things. It was well written, though didn’t stand out too much. VorteX once again deserves more commending for his good title reign. Tease (Rena/TK) – Oh my…SLA storyline. I thought it was just a rumor thing but it seems like he’s actually doing this. I dunno…I feel like it hits too close to home, and is based TOO much in reality, considering the actual events that happened. Ive thought from the beginning it should have just been an ACW storyline, but it was a real thing…if it’s done without too much base in actual reality then it could be good, I am just worried how this will turn out, but for now I will go with it I suppose. Ill see what happens… January 5th – 1 Day ‘til Showtime (Jack Jefferson) – Loved this one. A lot. I like the crazy Jack Jefferson. As I said earlier it shows his reactions to the loss he suffered at Winter’s Discontent in a nice way. I especially liked him attacking the kid wearing the Dave Shadow shirt. I thought the segment showed Jefferson’s anger/pain/emotional stuff very well, and as I said, really really liked it. As I told him in IM, I think his writing this show is actually better than his writing during his title reign! Small Time Capital (Senator) – I like the Capitalists generally, but this segment not so much. Im not sure why, it wasn’t bad, it just didn’t really do that much for me. It sorta kinda seemed like just…there. I dunno. It just didn’t seem really necessary, but hey, it adds to show length! <_< In Too Deep Already? (BK, Maddox, Pilko) – Pretty basic segment, which served its purpose of setting up the match to follow, and setting the stage for getting these two guys hired. It didn’t do much more than that, but didn’t really have to. Evaluation (Pilko, BK, Maddox) – XD at shellshocked Pilko. I dunno. It’s kind of a weird character. But there is some interesting potential. My worry is that it is too gimmicky for much, but this segment worked. Poor Maddox just getting pushed around by everybody. Is this guy going to fight back? Why’s your character such a pushover, Taylor?!!? Step in a New Direction (TK/CP/Senator) – I don’t like the SLA thing, but I thought this was an awesome segment. TK’s lines about Senator especially I liked. I can’t remember whether CP and Thunderkiss have actually wrestled before like…in a feud. I know they’ve interacted and fought before, but have they ever led up to a big match? Probably, but either way, I’m interested to see if this will continue, and hoping it will. I thought everybody did their part to make this a great segment, so nice job. It’s nice to have TK writing again, if I didn’t say that earlier in this feedback. Back by Popular Demand (Michael Smart) – It seems there will be no Michael Smart this show, and just Daniel Smart. That’s cool, cause Daniel Smart is awesome, but at the same time I think his interactions with his cousin are what makes him so awesome, and that he doesn’t stand as well on his own. This segment was not great for me, although I did laugh a lot at the emo hair part because of the sheer randomness of it. This kind of reminded me of when I did the Freeman Fan Club two years ago, with the totally one-dimensional background characters, which can work a lot, and I feel that this did work on one level, but at the same time felt myself wondering where Michael Smart was. Though he did mention him at the end so maybe he’ll be here next time. As I said, it wasn’t that it was bad, or that it was unfunny, just that it felt a little weird to have Daniel as a standalone character especially because the relevance was stripped a bit as a result. Showtime! First up…The Red Panther (Jefferson) - Jefferson wants a rematch but can’t get one because TRACE BIRMINGHAM ALREADY HAS ONE! HA! I laughed at the end, but out of Jefferson’s segments, this one was my least favorite of the night. It was still good, just not overly impressive. The Chase (Criminal) – Okay, I accepted it before, but have to admit you officially went too far for me with this one. I dunno, just too over the top, but some people like that, so whatever. Empire State of Mind (BK/CP) – BK just can’t get a break. Every time he comes back people yell at him and make fun of him. CP’s been on a roll this show, he got to verbally berate both BK AND TK. But I refuse to believe CP knows the word “edification.” Where’d you look THAT one up? <_< Don’t lie…you used some thesaurus or something. Anyways, though, pretty good seg. By the way though, ITS TRACE BIRMINGHAM, NOT ARMSTRONG! CP SAID IT ONCE BY ACCIDENT AND NOW EVERYONE SAYS ARMSTRONG! The First Interview Seg with the Champ (Dave Shadow) – Nobody does interviews like Dave Shadow! <_< I like what Shadow says in his promos. Nobody is better to be champ in this transitional period than him, and I can say that with complete confidence. BUT MY GOD. ITS TRACE…BIRMINGHAM….NOT TRANCE ARMSTRONG. <_< Anyways, good interview seg, but Shadow seems to have a knack for those so that’s no surprise. The Arrival (Criminal) – It was alright, though I felt it was a little bit pointless-feeling. I dunno, maybe it’s because on page 3 I start getting a bit worn out! I don’t have too much to say on this one, I must admit <_< The Night he Came Home (Adrian Flamingo) – THE LONG AWAITED SEGMENT. I was eager to read this and marked out when I saw the segment title. Now, I must say, I don’t like the crazy character. I think it’s stupid. The I like inflicting pain, and Im gonna feel good, etc, etc. I don’t mean this specific one, but that type of character in general. I also don’t like the whole threatening people and beating up cameramen. I mean it’s a couple steps below becoming AC Evans and killing people on live TV <_<. But wait…I have to continue, and say, that I believe Adrian Flamingo is one of the best writers ACW has ever had and certainly the best to never become world champ. So therefore he of course pulled it off, and probably stole the night here, at least as far as solo segments go. Maybe Im clouded because Im so excited to see him back, but I love Flamingo, and think that he’ll be just as great this time as he was before, and can’t wait to see Mickey on Warfare! Hot Topic (TK) – My least favorite TK segment of the night. Its not exactly the kind of seg I love, but it was kinda amusing. I dunno, with TK you’re either going to love it or hate it, but hey, it is what it is. He’s great at what he does, the only thing is whether or not you always like what he chooses to do. School Yard Tactics (Maddox/CP) – Man Taylor, Maddox is such a loser! <_<. I mean come on, what a pushover. I hope this leads to him going frickin insane and just owning the people who have been putting him down. I feel like something like that has to be coming or else it’d be a pretty weird character choice, but hey whatever you can make work, ya know? Way to early to judge what I think of the character as Im sure this show was not really enough to judge by. Out of Order (Jefferson/BK) – I thought it was good, though the feuding with referees thing seems a bit cliché. But hey, whatever, Jefferson is good enough to make it work, and I like the post-WD Jefferson. I think the threat of no more title shots ever looming over Jefferson’s head could make an interesting story as he has to curb the anger and rage he wants to take out on people. Post-main event (Shadow/VorteX) – I didn’t see THAT coming. It’s a bit weird to see VorteX challenging for the world title but I refuse to judge until I see some more. And I hope VorteX does step up, and I hope he impresses. You better be on your best VorteX because people will be watching. Okay, so overall, amazing show! There were highs, and there were lows, but hey, I feel happy, because ACW seems to be back. This was a healthy show, and it was great to reach three pages again. Its nice to know we still have life in us yet, and I feel really good about the fed right now. Congratulations to all!

The first segment I kind of rushed through since I had to go somewhere and I REALLY didn't feel like writing it.
