Thats right we dont make it mandatory for you to write segments for shows. Whenever your able to write, then write.  |

Granted, if you're consistent, you'll do better, but it's not mandatory by any means.
Main event, as already stated, was excellent, ACW free tv match of the year.

Great show everyone, congratulations AJ I guess, thanks to Senator and BK for your kind words. On to SITH is all I can really say.  |

"Misinterpretation" is one of those segments that you dream about kicking off a show. You got big names with big egos running amock in the ring and doing really what they do best, playing dirty, playing personal, and not making any hint of an apology for it. It harkened me back to the Attitude days, when major in-ring confrontations on the mike were a staple of WWE programming, especially those between Triple H and Foley. Good work, dudes.
So, I did like "To be a Team - Part III" because it was a nice foreshadowing of a tension among Liber-Z, but I'm still not entirely sure why Zero's still operating under the pretense that Nick Durden hit him in the head with a camera. Nick hit Lib in the head, then caused Zero to chase him around the ring, which left Zero open to a Silver Bullet from AJ.
"Business Calls" was great because it was a return to the character of Jay Zero, the schemer. I really liked this side of him dating all the way back to his feud with Santiago Rivera, and I honestly feel this is where Zero shall excel. Needless to say, one could tell his antics would be one for the ages.
Everyone should keep an eye out for the "Back To My Roots" series. What Dan seems to be giving us is a sort of "This Is Your Life" kinda montage that has him looking back on his career and actually explaining how some major things have affected him in tangible ways. It's a good job of making the character's story come full circle, and it makes the past all that more meaningful.
RETURN OF G-UNIT! Maybe?
"Welcome to the World - Part 4" started promisingly enough. All of you should know by now I'm a sucker for such sentimental things about love. But then Kenny had to break out the Creed, and I broke out the facepalm. Though, I guess AJ is becoming an increasingly cheesy character as we go along, so I guess that works.
"The RDK Invitational Entertainment Tournament Round Four: Drunken Singing" takes the entire cake of the show. Any time you break out Weird Al, that's merit for instawin right there. Of course, it also didn't hurt that there were all kinds of twisted antics along the way, and it makes it all the more enjoyable.
If "Definition of Contender" didn't leave you unable to wait for SiH, then you should probably get your pulse checked for signs of life. The passion on display between Zero and FSX was absolutely unbridled. It's been a long time since either of these men have wanted something this badly and were willing to go to such extraordinary lengths to get it. It can only make you wonder what kinda stops they will pull once it's time to put up or shut up

Any time you break out Weird Al, that's merit for instawin right there. Totally irrelevant, but I stand by my notion that I must be the only person in the world who hates Weird Al. I can't stand him. >_> |

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. NEWS AND NOTES! Due to no questions gracing my inbox for this installment of the top five, “Q & A With AJ” has been replaced with a special announcement instead! With an increased roster size, it should come at no one’s surprise that the number of matches booked on each card will most likely increase as well. Due to this, we will most certainly need more people to pitch in to help get matches done. ACW is very unique in that we all come together to get this portion of each show done and it totally pays off by not only strengthening a community, but also promoting the longevity of the federation. Let me tell you as a former fed owner, nothing makes you want to throw in the towel more than writing 20 plus matches each week on your lonesome. We have a good thing going here and I hope if people do find the time they can pitch in and pick up a few matches here and there. I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m preaching because I hate it when people come off that way. I just know that with more welcomed editions to the roster, matches will need to increase and If we are having issues with not getting it all done right now, It goes without saying we need a new commitment to contributing. Finally, as many match writers will tell you, a typical non-PPV show match should take you less than 30 minutes. Some even get it done in 20. So if you can spare it, I can tell you it most definitely go appreciated. AJ'S PICKS! - “Sweet Revenge: Part 7: A Reason To Kill” by Jon Taylor & Scott Andrews. Earlier in the month I praised these two on their work together and I’m glad to see they are continuing to entertain. To keep the steam building in this feud I see they have decided to incorporate Jessie into the mix, which I definitely approve of. There is something so icky when a guy has to talk shit to someone else’s significant other. It gets you massive heel points if pulled off properly, and Taylor certainly did just that. Hiccups aside, I feel these two have done such a good job this month that their match at Spring into Hell may steal the show.
- “Shut the Smurf up!!” by Jonny Spade & Gooey Garth. It’s G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Unit! It was so nice for Mr. Spade to grace our presence once again with his writing. It has been so long since I’ve last read his work (excluding Fallout) that I almost forgot how fun his character can be. He most definitely adds a unique flavor to our shows and I hope he sticks around for a long time. As for the promo itself, I enjoyed the fact that Spade incorporated my events for Gingerdude (that was nice, thank you) and I can’t help but wonder if G-Unit might be arriving to ACW in a Trojan horse.
- “The RDK Invitational Entertainment Tournament Round Four: Drunken Singing.” by Train & Showtime. For this month the work you two have done easily surpasses anything else around in my honest opinion. This is entertainment. This is why we do this. This is pure unadulterated fun. Watch the Train sing! See Cooper crack funny jokes! Fit Finely cameo! I mean seriously, what’s not to like!
- “The Upper Echelon Awaits…” by Danny Mainer. I love a determined Danny Mainer. There is something about the power in his words that grabs my attention when he writes his character in a serious manner. It’s definitely one of his best strengths. Another positive of Danny’s writing is when he cuts a traditional wrestling type promo. When it comes to cutting this type of segment, Danny ranks right up there with BK as being the best. Since I’ve known Mr. Mainer, I can honestly say that he has improved greatly over the months and hell, even years now. Lord does time fly.
- “The Arrival” by James Murphy. Not a bad introduction promo at all! I am familiar with Mr. Murphy’s work, and if he can bring it like he brought it in his past fed, I have no doubts he’ll be part of the new class that is desisted to one day rule the main event. His first efforts here do well to establish his character and I implore all of you to read about his past in this promo.
Honorable Mentions: Before you read Spring into Hell this Saturday, you MUST read Ben’s and X’s post main event promos. Both had terrific moments in each and when it comes to advancing a feud even on this short of a notice, one can be confident in each man’s abilities to see it through. Mr. Chris Cooly, you asked for assistance and I’ll be glad to give you my opinion. I liked your contribution. What did I like about it? Well, I loved Cooly’s attitude and I think the concept you have going will work well in many feuds you can find here. My next bit of advice for you is to not hesitate in asking people if they can work with you because a good way to get noticed is coming up with a very entertaining clash. If you need help in doing so, don’t be afraid to ask. Durden showed up well once again, though I did feel his material was very similar to another’s. Finally, I loved “Misinterpretation” by Lord Dan White and Senator Steven Q. Phillips. Awesome chemistry between these two but more importantly, I have a feeling they are going to tear each into shreds when the opportunity finally arrives. Prepare yourself for a blood bath! Moment of the Show: Taken from “Pre-Debut Warm Up” by Dan and Snake Rattlesnake: Well, you make a good point, dude. Just make sure that that weird “Black and White” side doesn’t come up. I don’t want you going schizo on me, ok? Dan: Huh, like you’re one to talk. lawl, awesome! Well, that’s it for this installment of the top five! See you all on Saturday for what will be undoubtedly a very shocking ACW PPV. “Want’s Xanax, Vicodin and Oxycontin. Funky fill the form out so he can drop ‘em”Kenny.
