Disclaimer: These picks are of course my opinion. My opinion is neither right or wrong its just what I think. So if you don’t make the list, please do not feel that I don’t like you, what you wrote or that your promos were not as good as the one’s I have listed. I really don’t want people to get discouraged over things like these. Please, please realize that with the amount of talented writers that we have it’s a super tough job picking out just five promos. Also, I do not pick my own segments. As much as marking for one’s self can do wonders for one’s self esteem, there is not a place for it here.YEAAAAAAAAAH! Guess who’s back?! That’s right, the voice of ACW is ready for round two so sit back, grab a cold beverage and enjoy the best of what your peers have to offer! Onto the countdown! THUNDERKISS’ EPIC WINS! - “Talkin’ ‘Bout An Expose Theater - All Parts” by Lee Homicide. Wow, you guys have no idea how hard it is for me not to type the name “Durden.” Its embedded into my head, and here Mike comes back with a new guy and I’m supposed to forget Durden just like that? I think not! Anyway, I LOVED this entire series where Lee goes to TK’s old childhood digs and exposes him as being nothing more than a bullied, tiny man kid! While this is not a revelation by any means, the writing was superb and the flow maintained my interest.
- “One Tasty Burrito” by Dan White. First, Dan writes a mean Gingerdude. Second, clever way he sets up his title shot for Monday’s show. Third, Dan threatening to blow up the arena was great, but next time, do it. Do you hear the voices whispering to you, Dan? Listen to them!
- “I know what you did three days ago last summer-ish” by A.C. Evans & XS3. Ahh, the Exemplar and the head of the Faith’s snake. Gotta love it. I am fond of Mark’s Exemplar, he’s so neat and all he wants to do is make the world a better place. I am also a fan of Evans’ twisted insane creation. All he wants to do is make the world an evil place. See where I am going here? Put them together and you have Peanut Butter and Jelly in promo form.
- “Hospital Visit” by Rena. Alex Trixer has been involved in a storyline. Who would have ever guessed? Alright, what do we have in this promo that I like? It has mystery, that’s always good. We have a solid third person narravtie. Can’t beat that. We also have an electric chip that’s causing all sorts of static. That’s new. Put them together and you have a winner, folks.
- “On the First Flight from hell” by Jake Steele & Jack Jefferson. This promo was very reminiscent of the Austin/Rock fueds from yesteryear. Consider that I, and many others, still remember them, that’s a good thing. First, these two utilize the island back drop. That’s a strong positive, because once and a while the action DOES have to get out of the arena or things just get stale. I also loved the tone of Jake in this promo. He’s serious, pissed off and it comes across strong. On the other end, Jefferson did a good job showing his nervousness. Good job, guys.
Moment of the Show: From “Face to Face Confrontation” by Rattlesnake Rattlesnake: I...knew it. Damn you...The masked man pulls off his black mask to reveal a green mask. The same green mask that has plagued Rattlesnake for the last week.Rattlesnake: ...Torak. I am a man of the people, and since the people marked for this, it earns the moment of the show. Sure, we would all love to have a REAL Torak return but I guess this will do. Until next show, stay classy, ACW.

MORE (VERY) LATE SCOTT ANDREWS PROMO'S! HE DISAPPEARS THEN REAPPEARS WHEN HE'S NOT BUSY! HERE WE GO! WHY AM I STILL IN CAPS?: ------------------------------------
Segment: Answers
(Credit: Scott Andrews)
Some people want answers.
I can’t give answers when the question is so fucked up that even Einstein couldn’t figure it out. How the hell am I supposed to find out who the Goblin is? Beat him up and take off his mask? Nah; too easy. I’ve got my suspicions, but who doesn’t? Everybody who saw that go down has an answer but me. Things are too fucked up to come to any conclusions.
It could be the White Lion, Lex De La Rocha; my old tag team partner who still has beef, but is loyal when it serves him best. It could be Jackalope; I mean, he was the craziest thing for a while there, plus Goblin is completely absurd. It could be anyone really… Gah, whatever. I’ll find out when everyone else does.
As for Angelus, I know damn well it’s him. He’s gonna get what’s coming to him; a murder sentence and an ass whoopin’ from ACW’s most dangerous. He can’t escape now that the feds are after him; maybe they’ll do their job right for once and actually catch him…then again, who am I to trust the cops.
Better get off my ass and try to suss this out.
FADE OUT.
-----------------------------------------------------
Segment: I Am The Law
(Credit: Scott Andrews)
The scene opens up at Gingerdude’s office door. Scott waits outside patiently before knocking. With his jeans and leather jacket, he’d prefer not to have to use force to open the door…this time.
The call is eventually yelled out.
Gingerdude:[/color] Come in!
Scott turns the handle and pushes free the boss’ barricade. He steps into the office with a cheeky smile on his face.
Gingerdude:[/color] I know why you’re here Mr. Andrews - - -
Scott: - - - and hello to you too, Ginge.
Gingerdude:[/color] - - - listen to me. I saw what happened last week, but you have to leave it to the professionals; they’ll catch him and bring him in.
Scott: Oh yeah? Like they caught the Goblin when he was the suspect? Like they did a great job trying to find out who the killer was in the first place? I had to bait him to come out, and that’s all it took. He was so big headed he gave up his innocence for glory. It’s funny what some will do when emotions pull them one way, and power, glory and money pull them the other. It’s when you find out who’s real and who’s a pussy bitch. Have you had someone in your family murdered?
Gingerdude:[/color] No, I can’t say I have. But it’s no reason for you to go on some bounty hunting rampage through the island.
Scott: A bounty hunting rampage; why didn’t I think of that? Thanks for the idea, Ginge.
Gingerdude: Don’t take me literally, Scott, you know what I mean. You can’t take the law into your own hands in these kind of situations; it’s for the police to sort out.
Scott: Fuck the law; I am the law!
Gingerdude: I’m warning you, Scott, you let me and the police deal with it or you’ll be fired!
Scott looks away, huffing and puffing before looking back at Ginger with a glint of pure inner anger, not quite allowing itself to surface; for Scott’s sake.
Scott: You better make DAMN SURE you sort this out! Cos if you don’t, you know I will…
Scott storms out of the room as Ginger brushes his blazer free from any projectiles that may have been launched from Scott’s mouth in the heat of the moment. He picks up the phone and dials a three digit number.
Gingerdude:[/color] Hello, yes I’d like to get in touch with Detective Bronson…
FADE OUT.
-----------------------------------------
I feel real shit always handing this stuff in so late, but I'm trying real hard with my current workload. ACW always comes second to my Uni work, but I'm so keen to keep this story going until it's finished. I'll be around till Genocide at least. I want to keep going to OE but we'll see.

I would rather have late work from you than no work at all. Just don't let the balance between life and ACW overwhelm you though.
