Segment: They were funky China men from funky Chinatown Credit: Jon Taylor, Jason Freeman
We open with a shot of the Ascendancy stable locker room. Sitting inside on a bench in front of a high definition 52" television set is none other than Jon Taylor. He is in casual attire with a Playstation 3 controller in hand as he plays a game called Ratchet and Clank! He furiously taps the buttons on the controller and twiddles the analogue sticks as he concentrates on the game in front of him. Suddenly a look of rage comes over him and he presses the buttons with even more ferocity! We heard the locker room door slowly open but our attention stays with Taylor as he appears to be going mental for no reason...
Taylor: NO! MOTHERFUCKER! NO!
It is at this moment Taylor turns to the side facing the door without looking and launching the PS3 controller as hard as possible in frustration at being killed on his video game. We quickly look as the man who has just walked into the room - Jason Freeman - is forced to leap out of the way and onto the floor in front of him as the controller hits the wall that he was standing in front and smashes into smithereens!
Freeman: ...the hell, Taylor?!
Taylor breaks from his trance-like state and turns to Freeman whilst blinking and regaining his er "senses".
Taylor: THE COMPUTER CHEATED, MAN!
Freeman:...how so?
Taylor turns to look at the HDTV in disgust and then at his obliterated controller. He shakes head before looking at Freeman deadly serious
Taylor: It beat me! It's impossible Freeman...I don't know but it must have cheated - NO ONE beats Jon Taylor!
Freeman: *facepalm*. Apart from this outrageous injustice, may I ask why you're playing Video Games and still in your casual clothes when your match is up next?
A bemused Taylor raises an eyebrow.
Taylor: Match? I have no such thing tonight, Jason! You however? Yes, you have a match. You've been around the old man too much...going all senile!
Freeman: Taylor, stop messing around! You know as well as I do that you're scheduled to face TJ to defend your title next!
It hasn't taken long but already Taylor is doing a good job of infuriatating Freeman by...well being Taylor - how else!
Taylor: Scheduled and going to are two VERY different things, Jason! He's probably still tucked up bed drinking his food through a straw, you know? Poor chap, really should go visit him some time.
Freeman: I've seen him backstage tonight you arrogant fool!
Taylor: Your trippin', homie.
Gangsta Taylor's da' house yo'. A frustrated Freeman paces around the room looking furious and shaking his head
Freeman: Look Taylor, I'm NOT going to stand any bullshit from you tonight! Tonight is the night that our domination comes to fruitation and you're not going to spoil it all by being boneheaded!
Taylor: I prefer to look at it as standing by your principles. I stated that I'd had beaten TJ so badly he wouldn't be here earlier on tonight...if he does by some miracle show then well...I'D BE A LIAR FREEMAN! We can't have that now can we...
Freeman: Argh, I don't care Taylor! As long as you go out to that ring and make sure you defend your title, you can do whatever you want! Now, promise me that you're going to at least check TJ's not here tonight...
Taylor: I could do I guess...
A relieved sigh is heard from Freeman however a devilish smirk appears on the mouth of Taylor.
Taylor: ...or I could play BAND HEROOOOOOOOOO!
At that moment Taylor walks forward opens up his PS3 and switches the disks. As the PS3 loads up he magically produces a new controller! A Microphone...
Freeman: Taylor...
Taylor: Be quiet! Now, if you want me to comply with your demands you have to comply with mine.
Freeman: Which is?
At this stage the game has loaded up and Taylor has selected a song.
Taylor: Listen to a master at work! Ready? Ok, let's go! 1..2..
...EVERYBODY WAS KUNG-FU FIGHTING!
Carl Douglas' distinctive voice can be heard in the background as Freeman shakes his head as he continues to witness the atrocity COMPLETE with actions! It ends with a forced clap from Freeman as Taylor finally agrees to go out to his match after getting changed.
Fade.

Match 6 Entertainment Championship: Jon Taylor (c) vs 'The Soul of Philly' TJ (Credit: CP)
Returning to ringside, we do so to Maxwell McNally and Eddie Edison.
McNally: Eddie, so far we've seen a great night of wrestling. Thiago Gracie winning in seven seconds flat, Buddy Ghee continuing his role as of late by slipping past Ivan Boreanaz and Ryan Cole opening the night up with a big win for Ascendancy.
Edison: It's a great night of wrestling Max, the first five matches have been great but the home stretch is going to be incredible. Two title matches, House of Tortures, Senatorial Stipulations. This is Omega Effect, not Seven Deadly Sins.
McNally: It's why ACW always has been the place for wrestling that matters Eddie, there's not a single man in that locker room that is just here to collect a pay check. It is all about being at the top.
Edison: And speaking of being at the top, the Entertainment Title has launched the careers of so many men who have reached that apex, Dave Shadow and Chris Phenomenal as of late.
McNally: It's definitely a marker of who to watch soar up the ranks in ACW, but enough chatter, it looks like we're ready to go, take it away Phillip.
The camera swings to Phillip Jones in the ring.
Jones: Ladies and gentleman, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the ACW Entertainment Championship. This match will have a thirty minute time limit, at which point the match will be declared a draw.
The beginning to 'Wanted Man' by Rev Theory begins to play as the lights go out. Red, white, and gold lights flash as TJ rises up from beneath the stage.
Jones: Introducing first, from Philidelphia, Pennsylvania. He is 'The Soul of Philly' TJ!
TJ looks around at the roaring audience, a serious grin on his face before jumping as red, white, and gold fireworks go off and the lights come on and the pulsing melody rolls in. TJ walks down to the ring and slides in popping up to his feet as more fireworks explode around the ring. He goes to the corner and throws his arms in the air and then beats his chest with one arm before Revolution Begins by 'Arch Enemy' replaces 'Wanted Man' and Jon Taylor steps through the curtain.
Jones: And his opponent, from Hollywood, California. He is the reigning, ACW Entertainment Champion, Jon Taylor!
Taylor simply walks down to the ring, ignoring every cat call directed at him. Sliding into the ring, he immediately takes his title belt and shoves it into the face of TJ. The blatant act of disrespect doesn't go unpunished though as TJ gives him a shove and Carter Reynolds has to jump in between the two. Taylor smirks across at TJ before throwing his title into the air as the crowd jeers him.
McNally: There is little love lost between these two, especially considering what all has gone down between them over the past two months.
Edison: I can't wait for this one, it's going to be hard hitting, I can guarantee that.
In the ring, Carter Reynolds raises the title up in the air, before passing it off to Phillip Jones who exits the ring as the bell toll's. TJ and Taylor share a mutual menacing glare before spinning around the squared circle. Confident in his mat wrestling, Taylor looks to take TJ down with a double leg, but is stuffed with a sprawl as TJ goes immediately into a front facelock. Working back to his feet, he hits him with an inside knee lift, knocking some of the wind out of Taylor before hauling him closer to the corner. Throwing him into the turnbuckle, TJ goes to work with a set of stiff chops as Taylor grips his chest in pain. Carter Reynolds finally jumps in, trying to back TJ off but the giant from the 215 takes one last liberty with Taylor, grabbing him by the legs and flipping him out of the ring to the apron below.
McNally: And that Eddie, is why you don't get on the bad side of TJ.
Edison: Yeah, but that's a blatant disregard for the rules there. He's lucky he didn't get disqualified for that.
McNally: We've seen a lot worse in the ring though Eddie that's gone unpunished.
Edison: Yes, and thirteen wrongs don't make a right.
McNally: It does however make a nation however.
Back in the ring TJ looks down at Jon Taylor standing on the outside holding the back of his neck as he stares up at the giant towering over him. With the count at six, he simply shrugs his shoulders and heads towards the back. Realizing what is going on, TJ ducks out of the ring, interrupting the count and grabs hold of Taylor, trying to pull him back. Taylor however has played TJ as once he feels the hand on his shoulders, he pinwheels, hooking his leg and spinning so he has TJ's back in a waist lock. He smiles to himself as he looks down at the entrance ramp below his feet and lifts up TJ, the crowd in awe as Jon Taylor drops him with a german right onto the ramp.
McNally: That's incredible Eddie. Near three hundred pounds of TJ suplexed by Jon Taylor right onto the entrance ramp.
Edison: I don't know if we've seen TJ taken down like that before, but that just speaks to the skills of Jon Taylor.
Taylor looks down at TJ and smiles before putting his foot right onto his throat, choking him out as the referee's count in the ring reaches eight. Taylor however, is not content with the count out victory as he rolls into the ring, before rolling back out as the referee admonishes him. Taylor pays him lip service, grabbing hold of TJ trying to get to his feet and pulls him to his feet. Pulling him back to ringside, he slams him face first into the ring post as TJ drops down to one knee. Taylor smiles to himself and seeing the predicament of TJ, looks to connect with an enziguri and kick TJ's head back into the ring post. TJ however at the last moment ducks as instead Taylor cracks his foot into the steel ring post, the padding in his wrestling boots not enough to make the impact negligible. The count back at seven, TJ gets to his feet and pushes Taylor in before climbing in himself as the crowd cheers him on.
McNally: That would've been lights out for TJ had Taylor connected there. The dual impact of Taylor's foot and the ring post.
Edison: That's why Jon Taylor is Entertainment Champion and not that oaf. TJ pretends that he's back in that slum called Philadelphia and resorts to petulant thuggery while Taylor is a student of the game, knowing where he is and how to use what's available to him.
Picking Taylor up, TJ whips him across the ring and on the rebound, looks to hit him with a big boot, Taylor however as other ideas, diving at the lone standing leg of TJ and clipping him on the side, knocking the big man over onto his side, Taylor under one leg. Grabbing hold of it, he gets to his feet before leaping over TJ and snapping his leg to his shoulder with a jackknife leg whip. Getting to his feet, he spins around the leg as it's still near the shoulders of TJ and puts him into a step over toe hold as TJ grimaces in pain, Taylor looking to keep the match on the ground where he has the advantage. TJ tries to push the fulcrum leg of Taylor away, but as soon as he tries, Taylor drops down forcing the leg back into the same position as the jackknife leg whip as again TJ grabs his hamstring. Taylor stays in the seated position before rolling over the leg and pulling TJ into a single legged crab.
Edison: That is picture perfect mat wrestling from Jon Taylor. Focus on one part of the body and go right to work on it. The crab is designed to target the back but look at the way he has the ankle of TJ in that figure four grip with that Achilles hold. That could put the big man out of action for months.
McNally: I don't think anyone can deny the technical prowess of Jon Taylor but you can't also underestimate the heart of TJ. We've seen him a number of positions like this before and he's managed to find his way out.

Taylor is less focused on the crab but instead the standing Achilles hold as TJ tries to pull himself to the ring ropes. Taylor looks back for a moment and realizes he's got three feet left and ratchets his efforts up on TJ who's face is gritted, trying to hide the pain. He pulls himself to within a foot of the ropes and knowing that he's going to lose the hold soon, Taylor spins around and flips TJ over at the same time, grapevining the leg and twisting the foot back towards the shin. TJ yells in pain but it also feeds his adrenaline as he surges back and grabs a hold of the rope as the crowd cheers him on, Carter Reynolds counting Taylor out.
McNally: Exactly what I said, the heart and desire of TJ will not let him submit.
Edison: Yes, but think of the trouble he's going to have from here on out. That leg and ankle has to be injured to some degree, and without a solid base TJ's power game is all for not.
McNally: Again though, the heart of TJ. He will find a way past this obstacle.
Edison: And it still won't be enough to put Jon Taylor away.
Having let go of the hold, Taylor begins to stomp on the ankle of TJ causing Carter Reynolds to jump back into action, forcing Taylor off as TJ rolls out of the ring. Taking a moment to gather himself, TJ looks up at Taylor and tries to take a step before wincing, trying hard to stifle it but Taylor smiles. TJ shakes his head as the referee count reaches six, as he slides into the ring. Taylor goes right back to work on the ankle of TJ, pulling him into the ring before grabbing hold and locking the Achilles hold back in. TJ cries out as Carter Reynolds asks him if he's going to submit. TJ vehemently shakes his head in the negative though, before sinking into the canvas. With the ropes all the way across the ring, a rope break is out of the question. Pushing up though, TJ rolls through and sends Taylor flying, breaking the hold as the crowd roars. Pulling himself up to his feet using the ropes, TJ ducks a clothesline attempt from Taylor by pulling out the ropes, sending him tumbling to the floor again as the crowd roars.
McNally: And Jon Taylor goes flying, that could be the change in momentum that TJ needs.
Edison: He still needs to find a way to move around the ring though otherwise Taylor will eat him alive.
Taylor gets up and rolls into the ring as TJ gets to his feet and pulls Taylor into the corner before again scoring with a set of whips. On the break, TJ goes to whip Taylor across the ring before stopping, and pulling him back and sending him flying into the turnbuckle chest first. Taylor grips his sternum in pain as he comes out and TJ scores with an Aztec suplex and holds it for the pin
...1 ...2
Taylor throws the shoulder up as TJ wastes no time, knowing he must stay on top of the Entertainment Champion. Getting to his feet he presses Taylor into the ropes, before looking to whip him before stopping him again and pulling him back into a knee lift, flipping Taylor into the ropes, landing with his throat across the middle rope. Pushed to the limit over the past two months by Taylor, TJ puts a knee into his back before pulling up on the ropes, blatantly choking Taylor but the crowd cheers and even Carter Reynolds takes a moment before starting his five count.
Edison: Again, that oversized monkey should be disqualified. Jon Taylor is the Ultimate Competitor, respectful and mindful of the rules yet he has to deal with this.
McNally: Cool your jets there Eddie!
Edison: This is a bigger outrage than Levi Johnston dumping Bristol ... again!
McNally: I don't think anyone cares about Sarah Palin anymore, or her offspring.
Forced to break the hold, TJ grabs Taylor and flings him across the ring before scoring with a big back body drop on the rebound before covering him with a lateral press.
...1 ...2
NO! Taylor kicks out but the onslaught continues, TJ knowing he's got to keep his focus, pulls Taylor to his feet before whipping him into the ropes, on the rebound he spins him again, sending him off before looking for another knee lift to turn Taylor inside out. Taylor sees it coming tough and grabs the knee before taking TJ down once again, his limited mobility costing him once more. Taylor goes right back to the Achilles hold but TJ fights it off, trying to stack Taylor but makes a mistake in doing so, leaving his arm open as Taylor immediately transitions into the Triangle of Perfection as the crowd is in shock. Taylor pulls back on the hold as TJ flails desperately, refusing to submit but knows his air supply is rapidly draining. Having down little to test the leg, TJ knows it's know or never and locks his free hand on the one trapped in the triangle hold before lifting up.
McNally: We saw Laron Xavier go for a similar move two weeks ago.
Edison: And it didn't work then, it won't work here.
TJ's a lot stronger than the Compton kid and his leg appears to hold the weight, long enough to give Taylor pause. Knowing that if TJ slams him down the match is likely however, he lets go of the Triangle hold and rolls over the top, taking TJ down wtih a sunset flip, pinning him to the mat, and putting his feet up on the ropes.
...1 ...2 ...3
Edison: Jon Taylor retains!
Jon Taylor quickly exits the ring, TJ shocked as he looks at the ref. TJ is furious, obviously thinking that that was not a three count, but apparently the referee insists, it was! Taylor makes his way up the ramp the belt held high in the air, his ego inflating even more as he watches the furious TJ argue with the referee. Jon Taylor makes his way back stage. Still the Entertainment Champion

VOICE ABOVE THE SILENT Credit: Danny Mainer Outside the locker room of Microphone Siren Charlotte King, Danny Mainer is dressed in jeans and a white silk shirt as he raps his knuckles heavily on the wooden door. Last time we saw Danny Mainer knock at Charlotte King's locker room door he was wearing only a towel because his shower was bust. This in turn ruined his marriage. The time after when these two were together actually inside the locker room Danny Mainer left Charlotte tied up in a sound-proofed room with the door lock busted by Mainer's trusty meat cleaver that he affectionately dubbed “Sally”. Now Mainer returns to see his old lover and potential ex co-worker in a true clash of the microphone titans.Danny Mainer: ”Charlotte?”Charlotte King: “Who is it?” Danny Mainer: ”I see you got the sound-proofing removed. It's Mainer, come out for a second please?”There's a brief pause as Charlotte King inside her locker room contemplates whether this is a smart move or not. Eventually against her better judgement she caves in and opens the door.Danny Mainer: ”Can we talk just a second? I'm guilty of two of the seven sins right now and lust isn't one of them so make sure you're dressed.”Charlotte King: “Sure hun, what about?” Danny Mainer: ”Well y'see, Hawthorne wanted me to do one last interview before I go and I don't want to do it with that dweeb Anderson because he'll unquestionably ruin it in some way. You're the best interviewer ACW has got and I can understand if y'know after I left you starving and tied up for three days you'll be a little hesitant to even look at me but I need this. Just once for old times sake will you interview me?”Charlotte King: “I... I guess so.” Charlotte comes out of her locker room from behind her door and sees the shaved head of Danny Mainer, the smiling face waiting for him. Her heart flutters a little as she remembers the first time she ever saw him smile like that. Roughly half an hour before they slept together. With a microphone conveniently enough in hand she starts to conduct an interview. There's already a camera here so why not?Charlotte King: “Ladies and gentlemen as you join me at this time... I, for the first time in months stand here with the ACW World Heavyweight Champion Danny Mainer. Danny, tell me. You're going up against quite possibly your toughest challenge yet in a match you dubbed The Novgorod Enclosure. How do you feel about this?” Danny Mainer: ”How do I feel about it? Well. I don't really feel anything. You've known me all my life Charlie. I've always been overly confident at least on the outside but cold and contemplating on the inside. Tonight I see it as just another fight. Jason Freeman is a tough competitor but I'm going to give it my all and if that isn't good enough then well I guess I don't deserve to hold the title!”Charlotte King: “Do you have any strategies for handling the dangerous and bloody environment of the Novgorod Enclosure??” Danny Mainer: ”Actually no, I don't. Usually I have a million and one different ideas for brutality lined up for some unique form of cruelty and torture as is the Psycho Butcher way. However this time I have nothing. I have a lot of festering, pent-up rage from many weeks of beatdowns and attacks to the icing on the cake, the crown jewel of Jason Freeman ruining my wedding with the broken shower scheme. I'm just going to unleash myself mentally and when I wake up again back on the hinge I'll probably be soaked in blood, some of it my own but most of it Jason's and if I'm still alive by the end of it then great! I have nothing to lose and everything to gain from making Jason Freeman suffer for the things that he has done to me.”Charlotte King: “Nothing to lose? But Danny, your ACW career is on the line. If you don't beat Jason Freeman that's it, you're gone. Done with wrestling. Forever. Doesn't that scare you?” Danny Mainer: ”Scare me? No. No it doesn't Charlotte because frankly as soon as fear creeps into your mind in this industry it's over. Come whatever may I'm going to fight tooth and nail. I'm not fighting to stop me losing my career, I'm fighting to regaian that title. I'm trying to focus on gaining rather than losing otherwise doubt will eat away at my brain like little tiny spiders laying eggs inside my eyeballs and soon I'm covered in the vermin. You have to keep your eyes on the prize in this industry. Fear isn't an option and neither is the suffering that Jason Freeman is going to suffer tonight inside that closure. Win, Lose or Draw. It doesn't matter because I'm going to be taking years off of that man's career even if he systematically liquidates mine. I promise you that the Jason Freeman going into that cage will not be the same one coming out. He will suffer and Hell, he might even die. It doesn't matter the result to me so long as I get my sweet revenge. Yeah boy!”Charlotte King: “Finally, if THIS IS your final night here is there anything you'd like to say to all your fans?” Danny Mainer: ”Pfft. No. Preparing for failure only increases the chances. I'm not running that risk.”And with that Mainer leaves. The interview ends as the camera feed cuts and Mainer goes to prepare for his big match. The game is over and now as we head further into 7 Deadly Sins show we get closer and closer to the main event of Danny Mainer VS Jason Freeman. With everything to lose and everything to gain, against all odds with Danny Mainer keep the gold or will the scheming Jason Freeman end the career of one of the biggest sensations in wrestling and take the coveted golden prize that he has hungered for since the start of his career in ACW four years ago. Only time will tell, stay tuned. You're watching Seven Deadly Sins.

Match 7 Senatorial Stipulations Dan White vs. Senator Steve Phillips (Credit: Senator)
Maxwell McNally: This rematch between ACW's two longest tenured members on the active roster was a long time in coming. As Steve Phillips returned to full time competition in ACW, the two had a friendly competition, only for Dan White to viciously attack him afterwards. There were a number of altercations, mainly between their allies in the Capitalists and Royles, which eventually resulted in Phillips achieving the ability to name the stipulations.
"Fast" Eddie Edison: Now I dunno why he'd pick this sort of a match, but yep, we're gonna see Senatorial Stipulations tonight! The winner must win by pinfall, submission, throwing the opponent over the top to the floor, or flat out knocking them out, and doing so twice! You have to rack up two different falls in a row to get the ultimate win! There's no funny business, weapons, interference, all that good stuff is severely discouraged! Dan White is going to hate that, but at the same time, he's got a distinct advantage in the athleticism department, less years traveled, and less damaged incurred overall in his career.
McNally: Steve Phillips is not the Steve Phillips of a year ago, he's healed up, trained a good deal, and seems to have his mind back in a better place...
Edison: Pff, what are you talking about? Dan White's the one who nearly crippled him and took his title! Dan White's the guy who nearly ended his career on a friggin' soccer pitch, of all places! If ever someone had a fighter's number, it'd be Dan White, since he obliterates the Senator every time the two share the same ring, or pitch, or backstage area!
McNally: That is true, but the Senator has looked sharp as of late, and he is in his own territory with the match rules, no interference here, no weapons, not even the fabled smoke bomb will make an appearence here.
Edison: I don't care if it's a wrestling match or an arm wrestling contest, Senatorial Stipulations or a street ball game at Rucker Park, Dan White will injure the Senator yet again! Mark my words, I'll eat my hat if it doesn't happen again!
McNally: You aren't wearing a hat.
Edison: So?
McNally: And it does appear that we have talked through the introductions again...Chairman Hawthorne really will be giving us a speech one of these days about that, I think...
***BELL RINGS***
Dan White and Steve Phillips immediately start the match with a quick tieup. Phillips effortlessly ducks under into a hammerlock, which White counters, spinning around with a back elbow, and applying his own hammerlock. The Welsh Dragon wrenches up on the lock, only for Phillips to roll to the side, throwing him off. White rolls to his feet, leaping in with a swinging headscissors attempt, but this time, Phillips catches him in mid air, attempting to land an inverted powerbomb of sorts. Before he lands face first, Dan plants both hands on the mat, posting up for a moment, enough to change his trajectory into a modified victory roll...
...

...

...
...Steve Phillips kicks out!
Edison: I don't think I've ever seen that move before! Kinda reverting to his old high flying past there!
Dan White hardly lets his failed pin slow him down, and again goes for the win, this time with a quick horizontal cradle...
....
...1
...
...2
...The Senator kicks out again! Even so, Dan remains on the attack, keeping a hold on the leg, spinning to the side to apply a cross heel hook. Phillips attempts to slide towards the ropes, but cannot muster the traction to pull off the feat. Instead, feeling the increasing pressure on his leg, the Senator violently swings to the side and reverses the submission into one of his own!
McNally: Dan White is no slouch on the mat, but Senator Phillips is in a class of his own when it comes to these technical displays, and he's continued to add to his game even when not actively competing in ACW.
Even with the Senator's technical expertise, Dan still finds the opportunity to twist back to escape the immediate pressure, and then flips forward into a jackknife pin...
...
...1
...
...2
...
...3!
Phillip Jones: Dan White has earned the first fall of the match!
McNally: A very quick pinfall, but under these rules, it can even be advantageous to give up an early fall, after all, Phillips no longer has to worry about pinfalls until he gets a fall of his own, or loses the match outright.
Edison: Excuses, excuses, Dan just earned a really freakin' early pin on Old Man Phillips! That's an accomplishment!

The two are set back to the middle of the ring, and Dan walks up, lashing out with a big toe kick to the abdomen, but the Senator catches the strike, spinning his opponent back around, ducking the spinning crescent kick that follows, and counters with a big knife edge chop. The Welsh Dragon knocks the Senator back on response with a headbutt only to receive another big chop. The Senator backs his opponent against the ropes with a few more chops, setting up for a Washington Lariat over the ropes. Unfortunately for Phillips, Dan White kicks his leg up and catches him under the chin with a boot, and follows through with a flying tornado DDT. Somehow, the Senator rolls to his feet just as Dan does, responding by grabbing his opponent by the arm and throwing him through the ropes.
Edison: What the? Did he just get up like nothing happened? Guess there's some benefits to senility!
The Welsh Dragon attempts to kick over the top rope with an enzuigiri, but a quick parry blocks it aside, leaving Dan laying awkwardly over the top rope. Phillips takes full advantage of the opportunity, jumping back a step and leaping forward, lashing out with a devastating AIG Knee, sending his opponent tumbling to the outside!
Phillip: The Senator has earned his first fall via ringout!
McNally: Remember, that ringout not only negated Dan's earlier pinfall, but also sets the Senator up for a victory by pinfall, submission or knockout.
Dan re-enters the ring, and referee Cliff Mortimer starts the action up again. The Senator rushes in, going for a waistlock, switching behind with a backdrop suplex...but Dan flips back out of it, landing into a rear facelock. White lands a few clubbing blows to the chest, before dropping his opponent's neck over his extended knee with the Equalizer. A few stomps to the shoulder proceed from the maneuver, as does a short knee stamp onto the arm. The Senator rolls back to his feet, only to receive a roundhouse kick to the same left shoulder, and answers with a ferocious knife-edge chop. Another kick flies towards Phillips's shoulder, right into a waiting shoulder bump, setting up for a Capture Bomb. However, as the Senator explodes up to take White off his feet, the latter kicks his other leg up, and snaps Phillips down into a hurricanrana!
...
...1
...
...2
...
...The Senator escapes the pin, rolling his opponent into a pinfall attempt of his own!
...
...1
...
...Dan White escapes at the one count!
Edison: Lightning fast action here! They're fast as lighting and they're not even Kung Fu fighting!
McNally: There are times that I wonder about how that brain of yours works, Eddie.
The two get to their feet simultaneously, with the Senator lunging forward, going for the Filibuster, but Dan immediately elbows out of the uranage attempt, going behind for a full nelson. Before his hands clasp, the Welsh Dragon finds himself on the receiving end of the same hold, as Phillips slips out and behind, going for a Liberalizer full nelson bulldog. White blocks this by rolling forward, landing himself into a precarious pinning situation...
...
...1
...
...The Senator lets loose of the full nelson, and as such, escapes the pin! The two get to their feet, with Phillips giving his opponent no space. As such, the Senator has a tremendous setup for a Filibuster, going for it, and against most opponents, the move would be a cinch, but Dan White is no ordinary foe, posting off in midair, and hooking an arm, landing right into a devastating Fujiwara Armbar! Dan cranks back on his submission, and without an immediate escape presenting itself, the Senator taps out!
Phillip: Dan White has received a fall via submission!
McNally: Remember, this resets the score back in Dan's favor, and he now can get the win...
Edison: Yeah, yeah, we all heard that before, how's about we talk about how Old Man Phillips can't deal with a basic wakigatame? I mean really, I know Dan's good with the move and all, gotten wins with it in the past, but man, for someone so supposedly well versed in the submission arts, Steve Phillips can't deal with that one move!
McNally: Or perhaps he didn't want to risk injury when he got caught with such a deep armlock in a match like this where he can still win even after tapping out.
Edison: Whatever...

The two restart in the middle of the ring, and Dan White charges his opponent, going for an inside cradle. The Senator cuts back on the move, preventing it from going to the ground, but as he does so, the Welsh Dragon snaps up, taking the Senator back down with the Fujiwara! Phillips taps, and the hold is broken, but Cliff Mortimer allows the match to continue, as a submission for Dan would not count again. Phillips stands up, shaking his arm out, sidestepping a bull rush from his opponent. Likewise, a Partisan Kick from the Senator misses as Dan White rolls out of the way, standing up, and landing a perfect dropkick that sends his opponent into the ropes.
McNally: Remember, a ringout will win this match for the Welsh Dragon at this point!
Dan cockily strides over to the ropes, looking to finish the match, but instead is greeted with an elbow strike that resounds throughout the Arena. Phillips gets back into the ring, applying a cobra clutch, pulling his opponent's arm tightly across his throat, stepping methodically to the side as he adjusts his grip, lowering his stance...and exploding off the mat with a horrendous Stranglehold Filibuster!
Edison: Awww daaaannngrouuusssss! That's the move he used against Yoko Satoshi at Omega Effect this year!
Instead of covering for the easy pin, the Senator decides to roll White over, hooking the legs and crossing them over into a deathlock, bridging forward, and crossing both of his opponent's arms across the throat to complete the Victory Lock III! Dan tries to roll over to alleviate the pressure being placed on nearly all the joints in his body, but only ends up right back in the same position. Although he would typically accept injury or unconsciousness before surrendering, White's underrated technical acumen is on full display as he verbally submits to the hold.
Phillip: Senator Phillips has received a fall via submission!
McNally: That move ties you up so badly that a physical tap is impossible to pull off, it's no wonder that the Senator locked it in instead of trying for a pin that may or may not have succeeded.
The match is restarted, with an infuriated Welsh Dragon unleashing fire in his strikes, throwing a flurry of kicks that Phillips mostly evades. A few middle kicks inevitably slip through the Senator's defense, staggering the politician. Dan White lunges in, lifting a knee into the solar plexus, and setting up for a Stunt Bomb. Senator Phillips shoves the arm from across his shoulder line, slipping into a standing arm triangle hold, which Dan easily escapes, spinning back around, bridging right into a northern lights suplex...

...The Senator kicks out! Dan stands up first, whiffing on a short soccer kick, just as the Senator misses a point blank lariat attempt as he stands, right in range for the Welsh Dragon to go right back to the Fujiwara. However, this time, Phillips sees it coming, pulling his left arm away while he wraps the right over his opponent's shoulder from behind, catching him under the chin. The Senator completes his inverted Muay Thai clinch with the other arm, and taking a step back, he then pulls Dan's head down hard, meeting it halfway in the air with a raised knee to the base of the skull!
Edison: Nasty! Guess all that MMA training paid off!
Before White can fall down, the Senator hooks both arms, taking both his opponent and Cliff Mortimer off guard by swinging him around right into his favored backslide cradle...

...But a combination of Mortimer's hastily arrived at mat position and a crafty bit of maneuvering by the Senator mask the referee's view of that shoulder, and as such, Mortimer only sees the near shoulder, which is still pinned to the mat.
...3.
Dan jumps to his feet, and while he clearly favors his aching head, he still has the fortitude to take the Senator off guard and drill him into the mat with a ring-shaking Stunt Bomb! Unfortunatly, he does so just as Phillip receives the final decision from the referee.
Phillip Jones: Your winner, Senator Steve Phillips!
White is practically apoplectic upon the announcement, and harrasses Cliff Mortimer, shoving him into the ropes, and demanding an explanation, which he does receive in short notice, right before the referee exits the ring. Both the Capitalists and Royles run down to the ring, supporting their allies, who are in the middle of a staredown. Dan lunges forward before anyone can react, but instead of a violent attack, he raises his foe's hand in the air, shaking his head before rolling back out of the ring, Royles in tow.
Edison: Yeah, I have to hand it to the old man, nice little bit of trickery, not like he actually cheated, but it just feels dirty, you know? But hey, a win's a win in my book, and in the records!
McNally: That is true, but one has to remark that no matter how Dan White acted leading up to this match, he brought the fight to Phillips, and if the referee was in a better vantage point, he very well could have come back to win.
Back in the ring, Phillips shrugs his shoulders, but a slight smirk slowly spreads across his face, and the classic victory pose is struck, much to the appreciation of the fans, and the Capitalists at ringside. A win is a win, as Edison said...

Enter Seraphim (CP)
Last week the truth was revealed. The madness that had consumed Chris Phenomenal was not a result of the abandonment by Senator Steven Phillips, nor the loss of his ACW World Heavyweight Title. Instead, it was created by the arrival of Scorpion, and the awaking of the dormant Seraphim residing within. Now, with their House of Tortures match moments away, Chris Phenomenal is seen sitting in the back of the ACW Arena, surrounded by every object of torture he had used on The Scorpion. The steel chain and cross from last week, the studded whip and nails from last month as well as a shovel, a mound of dirt and the tombstone from their first encounter. It appears as if he hasn't slept since Monday, dark circles around his eyes and definitive signs of madness in his body, a twitch of his left eye, the unkempt hair and his right knee obviously shaking.
CP: “Scorpion. Tonight will be the end, for six months we have gone to battle ...”
Looking up at the camera the madness is gone, instead replaced by the celestial calm, the pale shadows of his face illuminated by radiant light. CP retreating into his body as Seraphim takes control.
Seraphim: “Yet tonight will be the last time we face off. Tonight you're not fighting some mere mortal, you're fighting an age old enemy. The damned see not what this battle is about, they see it as hatred about to settled, you and Chris Phenomenal proving once and for all who is better between the two of you. They understand that after tonight, there will be no more room for posturing, for excuses, a definitive better man will be declared. They fail to comprehend though that this battle transcends understanding. That the hatred between Chris Phenomenal and yourself never existed, that we were instead drawn together by fate and destiny. They are lucky, or unfortunate, depending on your disposition, witnesses to the conclusion of a battle that has waged since the beginning of time.”
Seraphim pauses for a moment before continuing on.
Seraphim: “The Mayans predicted the end would come in 2012, Pagans as they were failing to comprehend that the apocalypse was never to be defined, that it would be an aligning of a number of factors that the odds of it ever occurring were slim to none ... so slim, that without a heavenly deity, they would never occur. You will say it is through the grace of your father that I have been presented to you, but there has been no presentation. Presentation belies that you conceive that somehow you will defeat me, that you will accomplish the task you were created to do. Truly I tell you though, that tonight, your creation will be scorned, a waste of infinite flesh.”
He looks down at the dirt, before scooping up a handful.
Seraphim: “From dust you were created ...”
Immediately Seraphim departs as Chris Phenomenal retakes hold of his body.
CP: “And to dust, you will return.”
With that, he throws the dirt at the camera as our scene cuts away to the ring.

Segment: Clean Sweep Credit: Freeman/Taylor
Jason Freeman sits alone in his locker-room. He looks at the clock on the wall. Less than one hour left. His championship matchup was going to begin. It seemed to him that throughout the whole night he had been doing nothing but watching that clock. It was a peculiar thing. To wait for something for your whole career, and then to have that moment so close within your reach. It was a strange feeling to know that before the night was through, he would surely be world heavyweight champion. Providing, of course, that he was able to dispose of Danny Mainer. Freeman was not worried. He knew that he would pull through tonight. After all, as he had told his old trainer just one week before, he had to.
Freeman had trained for tonight, he had watched matches of Danny Mainer, he had done whatever a man could possibly do to prepare for a contest with another. There was nothing left to do now besides wait, think over strategies, and be patient. It is just at that moment, however, when the door of the locker-room busts open and a triumphant Jon Taylor enters the room. The Entertainment Championship rests on his shoulder, after his succesful title defense against "The Soul of Philly." It is obvious just from looking at his smug face that Taylor is in a very good mood tonight.
Taylor: Just like I told you, Freeman - there was no point in even going out there! May as well have had a nap while I was at it...
Freeman: You did a good job. I can’t deny that.
Taylor: I could have practised my high notes on Band Hero instead of that rubbish! Damn, tell me why I listened to you again?
Freeman rolls his eyes, but he is unable to worry about Taylor right now. There isn’t much Taylor could say that was going to break Freeman’s focus on more important issues. Freeman’s biggest match of his career was just moments away. For years he had dreamed of winning that world heavyweight championship belt, and he had his second shot at it. Danny Mainer had changed the match type on him. He hadn’t expected that. He had to admit it was a good move, and put the advantage in favor of Danny Mainer. But it didn’t matter. He was not going to lose tonight. That was all that was on his mind. He was just an hour or so away from becoming ACW champion. In fact, he’s so wrapped up in his thoughts he doesn’t even listen as Taylor continues ranting.
Taylor: The dude shouldn't have even turned up, you know? He should have known that The Standard of Excellence was just too excellent for him. Hey…Hey! Are you even listening to me? Pay attention!
Freeman: Hm?
Taylor: Hey dumbass, when I’m talking listen!
Freeman: I was ATTEMPTING to strategize for my match tonight. You know, my world championship match? I would rather you leave me now, so I can continue. We are just one win away from a clean sweep tonight. Ryan Cole defeated Wellington. The Senator defeated Dan White. You defended your championship. It’s time for me to complete the takeover by taking the world heavyweight championship from that imposter Danny Mainer, and end his career once and for all.
Taylor: Hmm...well I guess you're out of luck then aren't you, Freeman? After all, for BOTH the old man and the kid to win on one night it must be down to some late Christmas Miracle or some shit. Yep, coming up next - Jason Freeman screws up yet again!
Freeman: There’s no chance of that.
Taylor: Hahaha don't make me laugh! Oh wait, seems like you already did. I warned you Freeman, I told you not to be a pussy...but NO - Freeman knows best! Ha, yeah right! It's all your OWN fault that your in this situation, where you're stuck in some barb wire coated death cage. We couldn't even help your stupid ass out of this mess you've got yourself into if we wanted too!
Freeman: Frankly, Taylor, it doesn’t matter to me what match Mainer has chosen. I’ll defeat him regardless. While it is true that I didn't exactly anticipate this last act of his...I would hardly say he outsmarted me. After all, he'd have to defeat me first. While it was admittedly a nice plan on his part, it will just mean that I can make sure to give him some battlescars on his way out of ACW. No barbed wire steel cage is going to stand in the way of my goal.
Taylor: Blah, my goal this, blah, my goal that. You know Freeman, perhaps if YOU can't complete this clean sweep and walk out with the title maybe YOU shouldn't be in this group after all...
Freeman turns his head, and looks at Taylor, his face almost expressionless. Taylor shrugs, and Freeman narrows his eyes. Perhaps it is the championship that has recently inflated Taylor's ego, but this is not the first time he has called out Freeman. Perhaps Taylor may be getting slightly out of control. Freeman isn't sure that he likes it, but once again...it is not the time to worry about Jon Taylor.
Freeman: What’s your goal, Taylor? Are you trying to play mind games? What do you think you’re going to prove? You are a cunning competitor, and a worthy champion. Your addition to Ascendency has been the piece that has completed us. If you start to play mindgames with me, however, you may just find yourself out of your league. Do not test me.
Taylor: Ha! The only thing not out of your league is a 1/10 fat chick. Besides, it's all motivation for you not to screw up!
Freeman: I have more than enough motivation without your assistance.
Taylor: Still...imagine if even the old man lost his match and you lost to Danny freakin' Mainer! I gotta say Freeman that would look pretty bad...
Freeman: Taylor, I believe I said enough.
Taylor: Heeeey! Don't shoot the messenger, Freeman. I'm merely exploring a few different scenarios to get you prepared, you know!
Freeman once again reminds himself to merely ignore Jon Taylor right now, and get back to preparing for his title match.
Taylor: Besides, I'm out now anyway!
Freeman: Before the main event?
Taylor: It's time to celebrate my title defense in style of course!
Freeman: Do what you will. But just remember, show up on time for Warfare next Monday. That's when he real fun shall begin.
Taylor: As long you don't screw it up, it will.
Taylor then turns and walks out of the room, leaving Freeman once again on his own. Freeman forgets all about Jon Taylor for the moment. That is a problem for another day. He looks back to the clock on the wall. The time is drawing ever closer. The moment he's been waiting for. It was time to reach the top of the ladder.
