Segment: A new idea! (Credit: Freeman)
The segment opens up to show everybody’s favorite – er, at least somebody’s favorite…probably – Trace Birmingham! He stands with his manager Greg, and doesn’t sound so happy.
Trace: Aren’t you gonna ask me how Im feeling Greg?
Greg: Hm? Well, to be honest, I wasn’t planning on it.
Trace: Hmph. Well maybe you should have been. You know I didn’t hire you to NOT ASK ME HOW IM FEELING GREG?!
Greg: What DID you hire me to do? I’ve never been quite clear on that, considering how it seems like I just end up following you around as you---
Trace: I WON’T HEAR IT GREG! I WON’T!
Greg: …
Trace: …
Greg: …Fine.
Silence.
Trace: I’m still waiting…
Greg: Are you going to just annoy me until I ask how you’re feeling?
Trace: Um…probably.
Greg: Fine…may I ask WHY Im asking that question to you?
Trace: BECAUSE OF THE TRAGESTY AT SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF COURSE! GOD GREG! GOD!
Greg: Tragest---er…um…I mean, Travesty? What travesty?
Trace: THE FACT THAT THEY FORGOT ALL ABOUT MY MATCH! Remember? I was very depressed about it!
Greg isn’t so sure Trace was so depressed about it, but it’s no use asking…He won’t get a straight answer
Trace: I was SO depressed I couldn’t even get up in the morning to eat breakfast! I HAD NO BREAKFAST ALL WEEK!
Greg: But you ate the other two meals, right?
Trace: BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY GREG! And besides, what’s the one thing I’ve wanted since joining ACW?
Greg: To win a match?
Trace: RESPECT, GREG! Respect…and titles. Respect and titles. And I guess…well…winning a match is part of that, but like…you know I figured….that’d be coming any day now.
Greg: Well, what do you want to do about it then?
Trace: …Hm?
Greg: What do you want to do about it?
Trace: Er….well….I mean I wanted to complain about it.
Greg: That’s it?
Trace: Er…yup!
Greg: I figured you wanted revenge or something.
Trace thinks about it.
Trace: Hm…well I guess that works too. But I mean like, how can I get revenge? Thiago’s in a tag team now or something…unless…HEY! I’ve got it Greg! I HAVE THE PERFECT PLAN!
Greg: What?
Trace: ILL FORM A TAG TEAM! AND THEN I’LL FACE THIAGO AND LARON!
Greg: Ah…I get it. Not a bad plan. Since they’re teaming up in a tag team match you’d probably get to face them, since Hawthorne is booking them in tag matches. Right?
Trace: Well actually…I was kinda thinking that way I could have my tag team partner beat up Thiago really bad, and then he can tag me in and I’ll finish him off!
Greg: When…he’s completely incapacitated?
Trace: Er…well, I mean you COULD say it like that, but um…well…did I say my tag partner? Um…I meant um…IN CASE MY TAG PARTNER NEEDS HELP I’LL BE THERE TO STEP IN!
Greg: Okay, but you’re overlooking something.
Trace: Like what?!
Greg: Like a tag partner. Who in God’s name would ever team up in a tag team match with you?
Trace: …
Greg: …
Trace: …
Greg: …
Trace: …
Greg: …
Trace: …
Greg: …What? Why are you---
Trace is looking right at Greg
Trace: ^_^
Greg: …No. No way. No chance. That is NOT happening.
Trace: COME ON! I bet you’d be really good in the ring! You taught me everything I know!
Greg: I haven’t taught you anything! YOUTUBE taught you everything you know, which by the way, is absolutely nothing!
Trace: But it’d be fun! It’d be like hanging out like we do all the time but this time in a ring!
Greg: We don’t hang out, Trace. How many times do I have to tell you that?!
Trace: But…but….but…FINE!
Trace turns away and then looks back, expecting to be stopped.
Greg: Still no.
Trace: Well I’ll find somebody else. An even BETTER tag team partner. And then we’ll beat Thiago and that other guy!
Greg: Well, when you find one, let me know, and I’ll be sure to tell Hawthorne that you’ve formed a tag team.
Trace: FINE! BUT DON’T COME CRAWLING TO ME WHEN YOU REALIZE HOW FUN IT IS TO BE IN A TAG TEAM! ITS LIKE HAVING A BEST FRIEND ALL THE TIME! THAT’S WHAT MAKES IT SO GREAT!
Greg: I think I’ll be fine with being the manager, but don’t you worry about me. Go find a tag partner!
Trace: Well…..not tonight. Maybe next week. I don’t really feel like it right now.
Greg: …*Facepalm.*
Trace: But next week for sure!
And Greg rolls his eyes as the two walk down the hallway as the camera fades.

Segment: PSArmbar (Credit: Thiago Gracie)
Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammadi is not a fool, as he will tell you, and as such, he is in the middle of reminding the person in front of him:
Nigerian Ali: No, I no tell you that Thiago Gracie going to be good for speaking the English! I tell you Thiago Gracie is good man for deliver message!
Ali's words seem to roll over the back of the director standing in front of him, an exasperated looking man in his late 30s with a dark comb over hair style and a goatee. The director, last name Wilson adorning his chair, motions to his camera man to stop filming the black gi clad individual standing in front of the green screen.
Thiago Gracie: Hey, why does camera person stop filming Thiago Gracie?
"Director" Wilson: I stopped filming because you can't speak a-single-freakin-word-of-the-English-language properly!
Thiago: What, you not have problem calling Thiago Gracie to film message, Thiago says you should let Ali and Thiago give message to people without worry about perfect talk.
Wilson: Whatever, you know what, I'll let you two say whatever you want for thirty seconds.
Ali: We can talk tirty second?
Wilson: Sure, if you say so, I don't care one iota, Hawthorne said you two were going to do this message, well, it's not my fault that you guys are as...
Thiago: Thiago Gracie not liking where you going with your current line talking...
Wilson: Go! Just go, right there, in front of the green screen!
The two walk back over to the screen and the cameraman steadies the zoom, the director stands up, and claps the clipboard at the conclusion of his words:
"3...2...1..."
Ali: Hello ACW peoples, mayne Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammadi, and this Thiago Gracie!
Thiago: We're here to talk you about bad thing that people do stupidly.
Ali: Yes, we here to tell you to no smoke the wing! No do drug like coca cane, errol flynn, mess and beta me!
Thiago: Don't armbar your brain, ok? It not good for you, understand? I win jiu-jitsu match with armbar, not drugging!
Ali: Yes, peoples, drugging no good for you, or you not be seeing glory like Tag Team of Gloriousness! You lose bad in life like people who lose to Tag Team of Gloriousness lose!
Awkward silence ensures for the next fifteen seconds
Fade Out
(off camera)
Wilson: I quit...

Match: Senator Steve Phillips vs. The Soul of Philly TJ (Credit: Senator)
Maxwell McNally: As we begin this main event contest, we see Senator Steve Phillips coming fresh off his controversial victory over Dan White facing off against one of the true big man athletes in the industry in TJ.
"Fast" Eddie Edison: Yeah, Maxie, the old man proved he's still as tricky as Nixon, but he's gonna have some trouble facing the likes of TJ, the guy's the future of ACW, I tell ya!
BOTH GUYS ENTER: (You know the drill here, TJ jumps around a bit and postures for the camera, Senator does the victory pose and appropriates the Presidential music as always.)
The two competitors face off in the middle of the ring, a bit of an awkward situation, as Phillips cranes his neck up at an angle while TJ looks downward at his comparatively minute, older opponent. Referee Raymond Allen Fleming steps between the two, and after a quick check, calls for the bell.
***Bell Rings***
Steve Phillips wastes no time in initiating hostilities, landing a series of leg kicks and side knees to the thigh of the Philly Giant. The seemingly ferocious assault generates little response from the recipient, and TJ responds with a swinging clothesline. Phillips ducks the attack, and this time answers with his infamous knife-edge chops, substituting quality for quantity as he unleashes in volume, an approach that actually knocks the much larger man back a step.
McNally: Senator Phillips has surprised many an opponent with the damage output of those chops, often leaving visible welts, or even bruises, and on rare occasion, abrasions.
The Senator walks forward, throwing his chops again, but this time, TJ takes one sacrificial strike, all the better to close in, and drive his opponent straight into the mat with a deadly lifting spinebuster! TJ covers for the pin...
...

...
...The Senator kicks out!
Edison: Not surprising that Phillips kicked out, or that TJ adjusted his gameplan to turn things to his own favor!
TJ jumps to his feet, setting up for a quick jumping knee, only for the Senator to roll out of the way. However, the Pride of Philly anticipated the evasion, tucking his chin in midair, and rolling through without impacting his knees on the mat, standing straight up, running off the ropes, and returning with a massive leaping calf kick that nearly annihilates the Senator!
Edison: Aww, daaaannnnngrouuussssss! What a sick display of agility from the near seven footer! The guy just flew through the air like Danny Mainer or OLYMPIA would! And that much mass with that much velocity hitting that hard, it makes MY head hurt!
The Senator rolls out of the ring, collecting his senses, but TJ is not about to let him do so, again rebounding off the ropes, and sliding right above the lowest rope, using the middle rope to vault to the outside, landing right next to his opponent. Without warning, Phillips finds himself hoisted up and military pressed straight on top of the ring apron. TJ lands a big straight right to the ribcage, before shoving the Senator further back into the ring, and following him in. Phillips attempts to scoot back on his rear, but cannot escape the impending threat of his opponent, taking a big boot to the abdominals. TJ goes for a second stomp, but pays for his redundancy, as the Senator hooks his feet on the inside of his foe's knees, grabbing both ankles, and pulling back quickly, putting the Soul of Philly on his back.
McNally: We always see new moves out of the Senator, even after all these years...
The Senator pulls himself up, landing a few roundhouse kicks to TJ's leg. Phillips throws a few more leg kicks, until TJ rolls over, at which point, he stomps on the back of the knee, pulling the leg up by the toe, and stomping the knee straight back into the mat with emphatic force. TJ kicks his legs back under his chest, exploding up, but with noticeably less speed than before, and as such, goes right back down to the mat, as Phillips lands a brutal knee clip.
Edison: Some call it strategy, other call it a reluctance to engage upright, I report, you decide!
McNally: Since when did you not make your own opinions, Eddie? I for one will say that it is a beautiful thing to behold a technician breaking his opponent down.
Edison: And I might call it boring as hell to watch some guy do nothing but keep his opponent down, but if I did, I'd be calling an ACW match boring, and Samuel Hawthorne would be chewing me out!
Back in the ring, Steve Phillips has applied a stepover toe hold to his opponent, and has dropped back down to the mat, bridging over with a far side straight armlock to add to the pressure. TJ does not last long in this submission, however, as he roughly shucks off the armlock, and again stands up, even while the Senator remains in his submission. Phillips tries one last time to switch to a drop toe hold, but cannot pull the move off, and quickly lets go and retreats to a neutral corner. TJ does not allow him to savor the pleasure of a break for long, cutting off the ring. The Senator lashes out with a slowly executed low dropkick, which misses, but also allows him to roll out of the corner, reversing the situation by lunging in and hooking a single leg lift that drives TJ back into the turnbuckle. Phillips hooks the leg into the ropes, and launches side knee strikes into the ribs. TJ shoves his opponent back a few times, but the Senator keeps returning, mixing in elbows to the jaw and kicks to the midsection. Finally, TJ gets his leg unhooked, but now faces a new problem, as Phillips hooks in a Muay Thai clinch around his neck, throwing in knees, transitioning into a front facelock, while the endless knees keep lifting into the head, staggering the big man.
McNally: Sheer ferocity, it's often said that it's not about the size of the dog in the fight, but...
Edison: That's rarely true Maxie, sure, you have your Yoko Satoshi types, but for the most part, it's the big men like Thunderkiss, Thunder Train, and TJ that steamroll their opposition!
The Soul of Philly, for his part, attempts to drive forward, and shove out of the facelock, but only ends up on his knees as Phillips sprawls back, now lifting his leg straight up in the air, and bringing the knee right back down on the back of the head. After a few of these, the Senator rolls his opponent over, looking for the pin...

...TJ kicks out with emphasis!
Edison: So yeah, Maxie, you're doubting TJ's toughness?
McNally: Surely not, I was only noting the Senator's own ferocity.
Edison: Yeah sure...and the Cubs will win the World Series this year!
The Philly Giant slowly gets up to one knee, shaking his head, surely to clear the cobwebs, but as he does so, he remains ignorant to the impending threat of the Senator's running Partisan Kick, right up to the point where the outstretched boot collides with his temple, knocking the big man flat. Phillips collapses into another pin...
...
...1
...

...
...TJ kicks out yet again!
McNally: Not often that you see someone get up from the Partisan Kick, but TJ is not about to give in here.
Steve Phillips, noticeably frustrated, stalks his opponent, lining him up as he steps over to remain directly behind the Soul of Philly, allowing him to stumble up to a shaky legged stance. As soon as he is standing, TJ receives a quick elbow to the small of the back, involuntarily arching backwards for just a moment, but that moment is all the Senator needs to reach up and clasp both hands around the front of his opponent's chin. With a vicious inverted Muay Thai clinch, the Senator yanks down, leaping up with a rising knee at the same time, connecting with the back of the head with a sickening thud.
Right as the knee connects, a crazed looking group of four fans jump out from their front row seats, all wearing the classic facepaint schemes made famous by the band KISS. The four vary in builds and height, but all jump up to the apron before the notoriously inept ACW security can intervene. As they do, their Kiss Army: Operation Obama t-shirts are made quite visible to both the audience and an unbelievably peeved competitor.
Fan #1: Hey yo, stick it!
Fan #2: You're what's wrong with this world!
Fan #3: You kill the environment with your oil rigs!
Fan #4: Hey guys, I'm on TV!
Raymond Allen Fleming is the first to make it to the apron, and the former British military officer is quick to punch the fourth (and heftiest) fan, dropping him to the outside. Steve Phillips wastes no time in running over, clobbering the first with an elbow shot, and the other two are pulled down by Phillip Jones, who proudly dusts his hands off as security approaches to take the miscreants away. Phillips shouts a few choice words at the intruders, and even takes a few shots at the quality of the security crew as they depart in a hurry. Aggravated beyond belief, the Senator shakes his head at the scene, turning around...
...right into a double choke lift, as a semi-recovered TJ hoists him up over eight feet in the air, before drilling him right back down into the mat with the Soulbuster! TJ lands right into the pin...
...
...1
...
...2
...
...3!
Phillip Jones: And your winner, The Soul of Philly, TJ!
TJ rubs his head; it was a tough fight, fiercely fought on both sides, and while the end results were a bit skewed by outside interference, he can proudly claim a win over a former two time ACW champion, and a member of the fed's strongest group. For his part, Phillips pulls himself up along the ropes, giving a small salute to his victorious opponent, but his features do not mask the inner anger that the intrusion has sparked. For some, victory, for others, defeat, and still others, a short stay in the jailhouse on the island, but for all, it can be said, that the premonitions of future conflicts have surely been felt tonight.

And so ends the show. This obviously wasn't one of our better shows. seems everybody got busy at the same time unfortunately. But hey, a lot of what's actually there is really good. I havent read it all yet, but out of the ones i did, I highly reccomend people read the Taylor/Cole segment, as it was great! As for my seg with Cole, he hasnt edited it yet as he was not online and I got the outline up very late without telling him about it, so that seg should get better once he adds his own personal flair to it.
Anyways, full feedback will be up this week when I read all the segments on the show.
(And BTW: Match card will be up tomorrow)

It was okay, there was a lot of segments which helpped me to get to know everyone a little more. Still kind of "marking" for Thiago Gracie and "Victory by Armbar". I'm lovin' that. For some reason, whenever I read his lines, I always read it as though he was Jamaican. Don't know why, lol. Just do.
