Seven Deadly Sins is almost upon us, and the ACW crowd for Warfare already know that it’s going to be quite the stellar event. ACW’s most Machiavellian PPV still has a few secrets to reveal and revel in…

Segment: 7 Heavenly Virtues
Credit: Wayde Russeller

Monday 7/28/08-Before Show



Wayde Russeller sits inside the empty arena thinking to himself. So many things to ponder about the last few weeks and the weeks ahead. He went to not having a match at Seven Deadly Sins, to having a match that could force him to retire. But there was no way he would give up. Come Saturday he would give more of himself then he ever has. He would put it all on the line. They will have to carry his dead body out of the arena before he would let himself lose. But how could he? After all the training? The hard work? And he had a partner. God. And how could he be so sure God was on his side and not Coolys? It was simple. Cooley could easily represent all 7 Sins by himself. While Wayde was the opposite. He represented the 7 Heavenly Virtues.

Truth - Truth is a term that implies honesty, accuracy, sincerity, integrity, and reality. He was all of that. He was sincere. He was honest, his first night back he told everyone the reason for his departure. The most honest thing one could do in front of strangers is let them into his personal life. Integrity? Wayde was chalk full of it. He stood for justice and order.

Love - A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection, devotion, and compassion toward a person. Love, probably his strongest Virtue. Wayde loved with all his heart. He loved Annabella. The southern beauty whose mere touch guided him back to ACW. Devotion? He was devoted to many things. Annabella, God, and ACW.

Wisdom - Knowledge, and the capacity to use the best means for attaining the best ends; good judgment. This one was simple. The wisdom he gained through getting sober. Good judgment was going to rehab, and he used every means he had to get the best result possible. This led to the success he has today, 100% sober

Segment: Who I Am
Credit: Zero

The scene begins to open up to the backstage area where we find Jay Zero pacing alongside a dark grey cement wall. The lighting is dim and the area seems isolated, but that is most likely to Jays liking. Up and down he walks as thoughts fly in and out of his mind. Within a few moments of the scene setting, Zero turns towards the camera briefly.

Zero :: Since March of last year, each and every one of you that watch ACW has been influenced. Each and every one of you backstage has, and everybody at home or at this arena has. Since March of last year, you've all been exposed to a drug. An addictive one. A strong one. [/color]

He looks down, continuing to pace.

Zero :: And since then, you've all been hooked. You've all wanted more. You became dependent on it...More! More! MORE! [/color]

His tone gets louder and louder.

Zero :: BUT THERE'S ONLY SO FAR YOU CAN TAKE IT! THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN HANDLE AT ONCE! [/color]

He swings towards the camera and stares with eyes wide open.

Zero :: .....There is only...so much Zero to go around! [/color]

He pauses.

Zero :: Since last year, Zero has influenced everybody and given you all knew ways to look at things! Whether it makes you think twice of how such a small man can pack such a punch -- or maybe it brings you pleasure. Because you like to think of yourself as Zero. For once in your miserable, sorry lives -- you're beautiful. [/color]

He smiles.

Zero :: For once -- you're on the top looking down! And it feels good! Real gooood! And when you look down you see the normal folk, just like yourself, staring up wondering "What if?" [/color]

He licks his upper lip, moistening it upon touch.

Zero :: Well let me tell you -- that used to be me. That used to be! Until Zero hit me! Until I pushed myself to new heights, I was JUST. LIKE. YOU! But now I'm sick of wondering what if! I'm sick of wondering what life could be like! I'm taking it by the throat and I'm choking the air out of it until I get what I want! Zero is a drug that makes you a new person! AN ENLIGHTENED ONE! And now -- that drug is being intensified! [/color]

He grits his teeth together.

Zero :: ....Because now this drug has a shot. It has an opportunity.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME BIGGER THAN LIFE ITSELF! BIGGER THAN ANY RELIGIOUS SAINT! BIGGER ---THAN ANYTHING THAT MAN CAN COMPREHEND!

....This drug now has a shot to become the very best of the best... This drug has a shot -- at World Championship Gold. [/color]

Jay stops pacing and looks into the camera, smiling wide.

Zero :: And all this drug needs to do -- is eliminated six other men. Beat them senseless until they can't get up! Piece of cake...right?

...Right.. Sure this will be tough, and sure it may be a bit painful, but any way you look at it -- there's no room for failure! And I bet you're asking "How are you so sure? How can you be so confident?!" WELL LET ME TELL YOU! THIS DRUG IS GUARANTEED TO COME OUT STRONGER, BECAUSE THIS DRUG IS ME! JAY ZERO IS A DEADLY VIRUS THAT HAS BEEN TAKING OVER YOUR LIVES AND YOUR THOUGHTS! JAY ZERO IS THE DRUG -- THAT MAKES YOU ALL TICK![/color]

....The Virus?

Zero :: AND THIS SATURDAY AT SEVEN DEADLY SINS, HE WILL STEP INTO THE RING WITH SIX OTHER MEN FOR THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS MATCH! AND HE WILL ABSOLUTELY DESTROY THE COMPETITION! HE WILL COME OUT ON TOP BECAUSE HE'S THE MOST DETERMINED! THE MOST DESERVING!

...And whether you like it or not... Jay Zero will win that Championship contract and go on to become the very best...of the best! See our Chairman -- Gingerdude made a fine, fine mistake when he called us all out to the ring last Thursday. He made a stupid move! He put Jay Zero into a match -- that totally benefits him! [/color]

He pauses, allowing the audience to think a little.

Zero :: Y'see -- It's called a Seven Deadly Sins match. Seven Men, Seven Sins. Wrong.

There are seven men, and Eight Deadly Sins. [/color]

A small, barely audible laugh comes out from him.

Zero :: Ginger made a mistake! Because Jay Zero isn't just gluttony! He's anger! He's pride! He's greed! He's lust! --In the ring since he is such a dominating force -- he slacks off, not giving his full. He already knows he has them beat --- in that case, he's sloth! And when you put those together, you get people envious of him!

YOU SEE! JAY ZERO IS THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS PEOPLE! JAY ZERO IS NOT ONLY A DRUG THAT WILL FORCE YOU BACK FOR MORE -- AND HE IS NOT ONLY THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS! BUT YOU SEE, WHEN YOU PUT IT ALL TOGETHER! WHEN YOU MIX THIS DRUG WITH THESE POWERFUL FORCES, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR ANSWER! THAT JAY ZERO IS NOT ONLY A VIRUS.....

....But that Jay Zero...

..Is...

...The Eighth. Deadly. Sin. [/color]

As he stares into the camera, his smile is wider than ever. Jay begins to lightly chuckle, thinking of his task this Saturday. His confidence is sure, and is mind is set on winning -- but does this drug really have what it takes to get there?

The scene fades out.

Facking BREELYUNT Revenge Scheme!
Danny Mainer/Jake Cheng

The scene starts in the parking lot where a black Nissan 350Z stands out from the row that camera focuses on. Not because of the white dragon painted on the sides, just because it is in the center of the shot. There’s nobody in sight as everyone is either in the locker room or in the arena. The black 350Z is reverse-packed for easy escape but with what one of ACW’s roster has planned there will be no escape, especially not with this vehicle. Waltzing out a set of double-doors into the parking lot is none other then Kirsten Carter who is looking as hot as ever in a black Topshop Denim Waistcoat and Skinny Side-Lace jeans.

With a huge glowing smile on her face, she appears to be fully content with her life and you can tell this from her happy swagger across the parking lot. Heading directly towards the Nissan 350Z she jangles a set of keys off of her index finger. Finally she makes it to the car and she unlocks the back right door and climbs in shutting it behind her. She starts to root around looking for something in the car that she’s misplaced but suddenly…

The sound of another vehicle can be heard. Kirsten at first ignores this too busy trying to find whatever she’s searching for but as the vehicle gets closer, the engine louder and she looks out the window JUST in the nick of time to see two large metal bars crash through the glass, literally inches away from touching her. She would’ve been skewered if she hadn’t ducked down into the foot-space ridge. All she can hear is a maniacal cackling, the sound of the engine and the sound of her own beating heart, which is nearly jumping out of her throat.

Rooted into the ground by fear, she does not capitalize on her chance to escape the battered 350Z as the tongs retract. We’re now given an outside view of this scene and it appears that a madman is driving a FORKLIFT. And trying to destroy Mr. Cheng’s car with it.

Dimitri: FACKING PIECE OF SHEET! Lower damn you, LOWER!

Dimitri yanks full power on the lever and the fork goes down as Dimitri reverses out of the car. Dimitri hasn’t noticed the fact there’s a PERSON in the car though. Hell, he was counting against it. But now, he’s about ready to destroy this car. The fork at floor level Dimitri drives forward slotting himself underneath the soon to be destroyed Mercedes. It takes all of the strength of the forklift to do it and a lot of Dimitri’s arm-strength but the car starts to hover off the ground.

Dimitri: YES! YES! YES! YES! YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS! FACK YES! EUROPOWER! And Danny said that this would be a bad idea. What a facking eedjit!

Of course, Kirsten can hear loud and clear what this man is saying but it’s not registering, Hell, it’s not even going in. She’s rooted by the fear instilled by the Russian Predator. As the forklift lifts the 350Z to its height Dimitri throws his arms up in celebration.

Dimitri: YES! EAT SHEET AND DIE! In this country, people pay YOU for fleeping cars with a forklift. WHAT A CANTRY!

However, a low creaking sound emerges, like the sound a boat makes when it moves through violent waters… the sound of it capsizing. Dimitri can feel the shift in gravity caused by the forklifts inability to lift the car. It’s only now when Kirsten feels the need to move, she springs up to the broken glass but realizes it’s too late and she can see the Eastern European maniac driving the forklift, causing her heart to go cold. Dimitri sees Kirsten inside the car and his idolization of American culture is the one to take this awkward situation.

Dimitri: You’ve uhh… been punked?!

That’s when the car finally goes, the forklift drops the Nissan 350Z and it rolls off onto it’s top where it lands with a heavy thud. The roof of the car is flattened slightly bending the doors very badly out of shape turning the windows into slits too narrow for Kirsten to crawl out of which she can’t anyways as she’s frozen with fear and knocked unconscious from the impact. Dimitri quickly climbs out of the forklift and runs to her aid.

Dimitri: OH FUCK! God help me.

Dimitri runs to the broken window slit and immediately drops to the floor to see the state of the girl trapped inside the car. She’s lying limp, back on the roof of the car with her arm hanging out from the rest of her body, wrist hanging loose and with a streak of blood down the side of her face. The sight sends Dimitri’s own blood to freezing point and he doesn’t quite know how to react. He reaches hiss skinny arm into the car and grabs Kirsten’s arm checking her pulse. She’s still alive, barely. Not wanting to get fingered for this Dimitri quickly pulls out of the car and bails into the night back to his hospital clutching his aching head from the injuries dealt by Cheng. Little does he know…those aren't the last of his injuries.

Dimitri: FACKIN’ BULLSHEET!

Match 1: Silencio vs. Chris Cooley (Credit: Wayde Russeller)

Iced Earth – Ten Thousand Strong comes on the loud speaker and the cocky Silencio makes his way down to the ring.

Announcer: The next match is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, he is SILENCIO!

Silencio catches some major heat as he stretches a little and gets ready for his match. Youth Gone Wild - Skid Row plays on the speaker and the crowd gives off even more heat.

Announcer: And his opponent....CHRIS COOLEY!

Chris Cooley strides to the ring and gets ready to fight. Before the bell sounds though Gingerdude comes out to the ramp to watch the match. After all Cooley is representing him in the big match against Wayde Russeller at SDS. The bell sounds and we are off.

Silencio is quick to start the match sling shotting himself off the ropes and nailing a clothesline. He hits a quick leg drop and then talks some trash. He picks up Cooley but Cooley counters into a spinebuster. Silencio jumps upand the two start exchanging blows. In the mist of their punching, Silencio knocks Cooley into the ref and thats when havoc ensues.

With the ref out everyone knows something is going to happen but what could it be? The fans explode as they turn and see Wayde Russeller on the stage. Gingerdude turns his head and looks at Wayde who flips him the finger and heads to the ring carrying a chair. At this point Silencio and Cooley have stopped fighting and are looking at Wayde. As he climbs in the ring he tells Silencio this isn't about him, he just wants Cooley. Silencio remembers a few weeks back when Wayde got involved in his business and he runs to attack Wayde levels him with a chair shot. Cooley now charges at Wayde but Wayde hits him in the stomach with the top of the chair! He repeats the blow two more time before he drops the chair on the mat and jumps for a hard Southern Justice (Fame Asser) onto the chair! He rolls Silencio on top and wakes the ref up who counts...

1......
2......
3!

Announcer: AND YOUR WINNER.....SILENCIO!

Ten Thousand Strong is on the loud speaker as Wayde walks up the ramp smiling. He points at Gingerdude as if to say thats your future. The camera goes to the ring where Silencio is up and has mixed reactions about what just happened while Cooley is still KOed in the middle of the ring.

Segment: Alone And Lonely
(Credit: Scott Andrews)

Sitting alone in his locker room for yet another show is Scott Andrews. He is training yet again, but this time it’s in the form of jump rope. Scott bounces up and down as the rope flies past his head then his feet, over and over again with blinding speed. After a few more cycles Scott puts the rope down and heads for his water bottle and towel.

He plonks himself down on a nearby chair and slumps over to catch his breath. Just as he gets comfortable his cell phone begins ringing and he gets up again in a huff.

Reaching over to grab the phone he notices something that changes his mood; Jessie’s calling. He immediately flicks it open and puts it to his ear.

Scott: Hey, babe, how are you? I tried to call last week but no-one picked up. How’s the modelling going today? Are they treating you well? They better be! - - -

Jessie: SCOTT!

Scott:...Sorry.

Jessie: It’s ok, I know you missed me.

Scott: I sure have. It’s so quiet in the locker room now; a big change from recent times. But anyway, how’s it going over there at the moment? Did you get those shots done you said you were gonna do? The one’s at the Eiffel Tower?

Jessie: Yeah, it was so much fun! We got to go all the around the tower, up and down, it’s an amazing view from the top, you’d really enjoy it!

The last two parts of that sentence metaphorically resonate with Scott and his recent position in ACW. It’s not fair to blame Jessie for Scott’s sudden solemn mood change as Jessie waits for Scott to reply.

Jessie: Scott? Are you there?

Scott: Yeah, sorry, I was just thinking about the match at Seven Deadly Sins.

Jessie: Oh, who are you facing off with this time?

Scott: Mr. Red, Jay Zero, A.C. Evans, Kudo, Senator, and Jake Steel.

Jessie: Wow. Good luck with that. I’m sure you’ll do well Scott, you’ve always been a fighter.

Another hit to the chest from Jessie, albeit inadvertently.

Scott: I’m confident. Only catch is it’s a Seven Deadly Sins match. Now I don’t know if you’ve ever watched the tape of the original match, but it was brutal.

Jessie: I don’t want you to get hurt, Scott. Be careful, ok. I really need to get back to work now, babe, I’ll see you at Seven Deadly Sins. Love you!

Scott: I love you too, hun.

He shuts the phone, puts it down then runs his hand through his hair. What has he been doing for the last couple of weeks? Why risk losing this woman over a few dumb and ditzy club whores. He didn’t do anything with them, but the thoughts about what he could do with them were bad enough. Scott sits and reflects on his past actions, passing the time in silence; alone and lonely.

Fade Out.

Segment: Why? Whyyy? WHHHHYYYYYY?! (Credit: Jonny Hughes, Dan White)

The camera opens up in the backstage area, with The Dynasty member Jonny Hughes walking through the hallway with a bottle of water in his hand. His appearance sparks a mixed reaction from the crowd. Some of the crowd are still confused as to why he chose to interfere during Whitesnake's encounter against G-Unit last Thursday night, and there are certainly questions to be answered. As Hughes turns the corner, he's greeted with the presence of Dan White, who is also greeted with a mixed reaction. Many are confused as to his actions over recent weeks, and he continues to have a somewhat glum look on his face, as he glares straight into Hughes' eyes. But he attempts to shake it off, as he addresses Hughes.

Dan: What kind of game do you think you're playing at, boy?

Hughes snorts with laughter.

Hughes: Hey, we were just sending you a gentle reminder that the tag team division doesn't just comprise of a washed-up team, and a couple of oddballs for champions.

Dan: Yeah? Well who in the right mind decided that you and TLB gets a title shot?

Hughes: Well, we decided that we get a title. I mean for a start, you two haven't even had a successful title defense. And what the hell does TLB stand for?

Dan: "The Lazy Bastard".

Hughes almost looks like he's going to smack Dan, but instead agrees with him.

Hughes: Yeah....you're probably right.

There's a bandage covering a cut over Dan's eye, where he was cut open at the hands of The Dynasty on Thursday.

Dan: Bloody hurts, what you did to me the other week. If I had my way, I'd kick your arse from here to Singapore....

Brief pop. The crowd would almost welcome a brawl to burst out.

Dan: ...But I'm not going to do that.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dan: Instead, I had a better idea. G-Unit weren’t unsuccessful in beating us last Thursday, but at the same time, they didn't lose. I'm guessing that with your interference, you lot want to get a shot at the titles too. Right?

Hughes stands firm. He isn't prepared to let his guard down in case of a potential attack from Dan.

Hughes: Bingo

Dan: Well, congratulations. I made you a match for 7 Deadly Sins. You'll be facing G-Unit one on one, and the winners get to face us two for the titles at Heatwave. You dig?

Hughes: Sounds like a plan. I guess we'll be seeing you there then.

Dan: Yeah....heheheh....

Hughes walks past him, rolling his eyes. Dan turns around, watching Hughes walk away, continuing to laugh as the segment fades out.

Segment: “A Second Look” (Credit: Kudo)

When cameras come back into picture, Kudo Yasuda is seen sitting down in his locker room on a surprisingly sturdy, blue steel chair while watching footage from the closing moments of Thursday night Meltdown. As the camera pans out, it shows Alan Albright standing over him in a beige suit and arms folded, watching the rewinded clip as well.

Gingerdude: You're standing over there at the back and that's quite fitting for what I have to tell you. Now Kudo, this may come as a shock to you, and I can see why it would! Kudo Yasuda -- you're known for your hard work ethic and disciplined training! But lately -- you've been just where you are right now, the back. You haven't been working or performing to your full potential! That's why Kudo...you are SLOTH!

…

Kudo Yasuda! The sloth in you has dragged you down to new lows! But now, this is your chance to live up to the expectations again! This is your shot to prove to everybody in the world, that you are no joke! This is your chance to win a shot at the World's Heavyweight Title - -and be one of the most dominant Light Heavyweights no less, to ever hold it!

As the film finishes replaying, Albright grabs the remote and turns off the TV himself.

Kudo: You think he’s right? Do you think I’ve just become a shadow of my former self?

Albright: Well now, I can’t answer that for you Kudo. When the time comes, only you’ll know.

Kudo: When the time comes? When is the time Albright? The time is now as far as I’m concerned. I’ve come back and I’ve been bested by former rivals, I’ve gotten a World Heavyweight title shot that I didn’t even earn by a freaking sweepstakes, and I’ve lost just about every one of the matches I’ve been in.

Albright: I thought wins and losses didn’t matter?

Kudo: What? …of course not, not to me. But like you said before, it isn’t just about me. It’s about everyone and everything I stand for, and if I can’t produce success, I’ll be failing for an entire army of supporters.

Albright: Well I’m glad you said that Kudo. I’d like to play another clip then.

Albright pops in an unmarked DVD in the player and presses a couple of buttons on the remote till it starts playing.

Kudo: …midget wrestling?

A compilation of footage of a dwarf in classic Kudo’s attire begins throwing several awkward, yet moderately impressive knees against opponents of all sizes to the excitement and delight to the Spanish commentators in the background.

Albright: Not just any midget wrestling. Midget lucha libre! And that’s not just any midget wrestler, that’s Kiddo Yasuda!

Kudo: And what possessed you to decide to show this to me now?

Albright: Don’t you see Kudo? There are other ways to influence supporters than wins. Kiddo here is a prime example. You talk about overcoming size discrimination, well think about how Kiddo has to deal with those things. But does he quit? No, now he’s a staple in this promotion in Mexico and guess what Kudo? He’s influenced by you. It isn’t about losing for guys like him, it isn’t about holding gold around your waist; it’s about working hard and overcoming.

Kudo turns off the TV.

Kudo: Albright, I was called a sloth and how can I truthfully disagree? On a personal level, I haven’t proved to myself that Gingerdude was even wrong! I would want so much to be able to say “you disgrace me and call me a sloth and you awaken a Kudo that will kick your ass. It’s like a forced reaction and if you want to deal with that in the ring then you’ve done the right thing by calling me out.” But the truth is I can’t even begin to say that. What have I done recently to refute that?!

Albright thinks for a bit.

Albright: Hmm, you’re right.

Kudo: I’m right? Isn’t this the part where you try to calm me down and say I’m missing the point?

Albright: …Now you and I both know you’re too smart for tricks like that. Besides, you’re absolutely right. You’ve got a lot to prove to Gingerdude, your coworkers and your fans. But the good news is that you can start tonight. You’ve got a Seven Deadly Sins match preview tag match.

Kudo scoffs.

Kudo: Oh it’ll definitely be a preview of what’s to come.

Kudo tightens the ARMADA headband around his knee and stands up, looking his friend in the eyes.

Kudo: Just watch.

Kudo leaves the locker room and Albright has one of his signature grins on his face as the camera fades out.

Priorities In Check
Credit: Jake Cheng and BK London

”Ugh, those tights look so ugly”, Jake thinks as he notices BK posing for himself in the mirror, in some detail. Meanwhile, on the other side of the spectrum, BK London is thinking to himself how awesome these new pair of tights that he ordered looks on him. With Top Draw on one side, and BK London on the other, these new tag team tights are possibly some of the best that he has ever wore. Jake rolls his eyes and goes back to stretching in a corner of his locker room that they're using to get prepared. Once the former ACW Heavyweight Champions finish their stretching/posing and take a seat at the small card table they have in the locker room, they get ready to talk business.

Jake: So I think for our strategy...we should do exactly what we did last time. I mean it worked for us before, why not again?

BK London gives the actual proposal from Jake Cheng a thought, but he has one major problem with the way his buddy is thinking.

BK London: I would agree with that, but that son of a bitch Ginger has switched it up on us. Before, it was normal singles match, but now its under Texas Tornado Streetfight rules. That changes up the entire landscape of the match, and our strategy should change as well.

Jake: True, true. Then we should probably -

Just then, the door to the locker room flies open and at the doorway stands…a nameless backstage worker. Both wrestlers look at him with an intensity that would have sent the man away if he did not have very important information.

Worker: Umm…Mr…..Mr. Cheng. Your um…your tow truck is here.

Jake: What tow truck?

Worker: The tow truck you ordered for your car.

Jake: I didn’t order a tow truck for my car.

Worker: You own a black 350Z…with the white dragon on the side, right?

Jake: Yes.

Worker: Well…it seems….it seems there has been an accident.

BK London: What KIND of accident? And it better be good, since we're trying to prepare for our match in here.

London raises his voice, which only further intimidates the man. After babbling words for fifteen seconds or so…

Jake: Spit it out!

Worker: Your car was crunched and flipped by a forklift while your girlfriend was in it!

The unthinkable. BK London and Jake Cheng are absolutely shocked by this news judging by their surprised expressions. But out of both of them, it appears Jake Cheng is the most taken back by such news. However the worker isn't finished..

Worker: But…but someone called 911 and Kirsten got to the hospital and is stable. Just some cuts and bruises.

The Asian Extraordinaire rises from his chair and goes into a backroom of the locker room. BK just stares at the man with so much intensity and hate that he backs out of the locker room and shuts the door so fast that you can barely hear him say “That’s all.” Jake comes out of the backroom now wearing a white t-shirt and sandels, putting his phone and wallet in his pockets. He grabs his keys from off a table near the door and like that, is off.

But he comes back not even three seconds later and puts his keys back on the doorside table.

Jake: Those won’t help will they? BK, let me borrow your car.

BK London: You know I don’t drive here.

Jake: Then let me take your fucking limousine! Come on!

BK London: And to go where exactly?

Jake: To go see Kirsten, what the hell do you think?

BK London: To go see Kirsten?! Listen fucker, we have a match! Tonight! I can't go do this alone against Danny Mainer and Fallen Souls. I'm pretty sure Mainer is still pissed about me kicking his lips off and Fallen-

Jake: - GIVE ME THE KEYS!

Jake calms down a bit.

Jake: ...listen, I will be back before the match starts. Just give me the keys!

BK London: No, I'm not letting you run out on our big match to go save that bitch. She will still be there when the night is over!

Jake: Excuse me!

It's a tone of voice BK has never heard from his tag team partner before, but he once again bites his tongue for his language. He understands how Jake Cheng truly loves Kirsten, and knows how it is to be in love with someone - or used to know. BK has no choice but to back down.

BK London: Fine, just go and be back in time. I don't have the keys, but I'll tell my chauffer to swing around and drive you to the hospital.

Without saying anything, the Chinese Phenom leaves the locker room, leaving his tag partner to discuss strategy with himself. Now alone, BK London puts his face in his palms, letting out a sigh.

But deep down, BK realizes there will be no strategy necessary for this match now. Jake will tap into this anger and unleash hell for the Extremely Weird Named duo. So I guess that sigh was one of relief.

Match 2: Henry McKaye vs. Jonny Hughes (Credit: AK)

The second match of the night brings with it a most interesting contest. McKaye, having already shaken the roster up considerably with his skills both inside and outside the ring, is held to be the favourite - but Hughes consistently plays his cards close to his chest and looks determined as he and his opponent lock up. In fact, Hughes controls most of the opening part of the match, giving a thorough demonstration of his talent for a variety of takedowns and working to frustrate McKaye by refusing to let him remain on his feet for long. McKaye was never going to make a “rookie” mistake, but the so-called God of War does have a temper capable of flaring, and as he lets loose with a searing sequence of chops, it looks as if Hughes has made a bad calculation error. McKaye’s zeal, however, can cut both ways, and Hughes makes it do just that by catching his opponent’s arm, twisting him around and then producing a sharp neckbreaker, earning just short of a 2 count in the process. McKaye kicks out strongly, but is seen to rub his neck on rising.

Hughes now opts to play things safe, withdrawing a little and trying to lure McKaye into making the first move. A brief standoff develops; the crowd watches with great intrigue as the two competitors somehow manage to “grapple” using only their eyes. Eventually Hughes decides that he’s only profiting his foe by granting him recovery time, and moves in quickly to lay down some more pain – but McKaye has reeled in other fish with just this method, and in an explosion of power he rains down blows on Hughes, before dashing past him and rebounding off of the ropes into a running High Knee. Hughes staggers, disorientated, and this lets McKaye get close enough to apply his Gory Special. Hughes struggles to free himself and certainly causes his opponent some trouble, but after 30 seconds or so the inevitable Gory Bomb follows, which deserves and gets a good pop. McKaye pins, and gets about 2.5 before Hughes kicks out.

The remainder of the match is fast paced, with strike and counter-strike being traded as the two men look for the decisive moment to act. McKaye seems to think he has it when he gets a chance to nail his corkscrew senton, the speed too great for Hughes to dodge – but Hughes once again demonstrates that ACW has toughened him up, and he smirks a little as he thrusts a shoulder up. McKaye seems to go on to the back foot just for the briefest time, and Hughes does his best to capitalize, thrilling the crowd with a wall of solid offence which culminates in the Shock and Awe (front slam to double stomp to running back Senton splash. Showing intelligence, rather than try and pin from this, Hughes hauls McKaye up and goes for the Coronation (Suplex lift to Brainbuster); McKaye has to summon all his considerable strength to break free, and elbows Hughes savagely in the sternum as he thrashes. Hughes staggers; McKaye lands, crouches, and then comes as if from a set of running blocks, accelerating with tremendous speed and connecting with a simple but exceptionally powerful clothesline. Hughes smashes backward to the mat, and in his fatigue and confusion makes the critical error of not watching his opponent in an attempt to rise quickly. McKaye accepts the “gift” and executes the Contrecoup (Wheelbarrow Driver) before Hughes can take any sort of defensive action, and the combined impact to the Shooter’s head and neck renders him incapable of kicking before the 3 count, allowing McKaye to secure the win.

Segment: Tag Team Tensions
Credit: Zero - Steele

Returning from commercial break, we quickly find ourselves alongside a geared up Jay Zero pacing down the hallway. He has a little hop in his step and a determined look on his face. His hair blows gently in the wind that passes him by, but that doesn't bother him enough to fix it. Just then, well known correspondent Kevin Anderson jumps on the scene with a microphone ready in hand as he slows down Zero looking for a moment of his time.

Kevin Anderson: Jay! Jay!

Zero *sighing*:: Hurry it up.... [/color]

Kevin Anderson: First off! Just like to ask you -- What exactly is the Eighth Deadly Sin?

Zero rolls his eyes, flustered at Kevin.

Zero :: Ugh. Did you listen to me at all?! [/color]

He stares at Kevin with a snarl on his face.

Zero :: Jay Zero is the Eighth Deadly Sin! He's a drug that takes over you like a virus and he breaks you down from inside to out Kev! He'll charm you! He'll be your friend! He'll be everything that a guy could wish to be! And he'll be everything that a girl could wish to have! But within a blink of the eye, the drug changes!

Suddenly when your guard is down everything becomes blurry! After he charms you and after you've been exposed Kevin! This drug called Zero attacks your body! It beats you down until NOTHING is left and you're forced to just lie still, staring up into the sky forever-- because you won't even have the strength to blink anymore!

Jay Zero is a deadly, sickening virus Kevin! He will tempt you! He will get you addicted! And then he -- will paralyze you with one Zero Darkness Kev!
[/color]

Kevin nods his head, as if he agrees or understands.

Zero :: So I GUESS what I'm trying to say is -- Zero is a disease that's incurable. And Kevin -- something like this just simply! Can't. Be. Stopped! [/color]

Zero smiles and he also nods his head. Kevin tilts his head to the side quickly and then pulls his microphone up again.

Kevin Anderson: Alright, well then let me ask you then about Seven Deadly Sins! What -- What do you think of this match? How do you feel about your opponents and whatnot?

Zero :: Oh and what are you now, a shrink? Jesus Christ, Kevin! How do I feel? I feel great! Like I said earlier, it doesn't matter because this match benefits me in every single way! [/color]

Kevin Anderson: But surely you can't underestimate guys like Scott Andrews!

Zero :: Well surely, I don't give a rats ass about Scott Andrews! It doesn't matter who it is, or where it is! Zero is going to use whatever he can, however he can to make sure that he's going to come out on top! Because there is no way in HELL that Zero is going to let one of those other ungrateful punks like A.C Evans win a World Championship title shot! That's MY contract and everybody knows it Kevi--- [/color]

But just then! He's interrupted as Jake Steele steps on the scene, pushing past Kevin Anderson! Zero scans him from head to toe and with a dirty look says:

Zero :: --...What the hell do you want? [/color]

Steele: A-yo... Ze-ro... I just happened to "overhear" what you just claimed about Seven Deadlah' Sins..

Kevin Anderson: Well! Speaking of Seven Deadly Sin opponents!

Steele: Yeah Zero! I heard... and I know dat' you mus' be buggin right now... when you know damn well dat' I'm gonna whoop yo ass, and everybody else's ass come Saturday!

Zero looks at him, and begins to smile. He laughs and shakes his head.

Zero :: Oh yeah. THAT'S gonna happen! And I'm going to be Vice President of the United States! [/color]

Steele: Aight whatever... Now, me and you are teaming tonight an-...

Zero *interrupting* :: What?! [/color]

Steele: What you deaf? Need a Q-tip my dude?

Kevin Anderson: You two are teaming up? Since when?

Zero :: Uhhh yeah, since when?! Last time I checked, I was a mirror image of perfection in every way, and you were a lousy, greedy, STUPID little punk that never got to learn the lesson that he had coming to him! So! Since when have we been teaming together?! [/color]

Steele: Damn... you really need to start payin' attention to the ring, and stop attendin' to your hair all the time. Ginga' announced it earlia' man.

Kevin Anderson: Who are your opponents?

Steele: Yasuda and Senator.

Kevins eyes open up wide while Zero buries his face within the palm of his right hand.

Zero :: Oh great! [/color]

Steele: Yeah man, so I was thinking... of dis' grand masta' plan, right, ayo check it. Match starts... right? Then as it goes on, I'm the one in da' spotlight, y'know, whoopin' Yasuda's ass, AND Old Man Phillips ass around too!

Zero throws his hand away from his face and stares at Steele as if he were going "What the?"

Steele: Dat' way we not only win... but uh, you don't have to mess up your hair or get in my way.

Zero :: Whoa whoa whoa, hold the phone Jack! I'm going to get in your way? [/color]

Steele: That's what I'm sayin!

Zero :: Um. No! Last time we met in the ring, I was ready to seriously put a HURTING on your sorry ass if Evans didn't decide to save you from me! If anything, you'll be getting in MY way tonight! [/color]

Steele: Me? Gettin' in yo' way!?

Kevin Anderson: This match seems excelle--

Zero :: AND! Once I'm done throwing Senator around and brutally beating down Kudo! I'll finish the business that got interrupted LAST Monday between you and I! [/color]

Steele: Ohfuhreal... is dat' right?

Zero :: Yeah! It is! [/color]

Kevin Anderson: Guys, I think--

Zero :: Somebody's got to teach your ghetto ass to learn to never mess with Jay Zero! [/color]

Steele: ...Excuse me... Ghetto!?

Zero :: Yeah! That's what I said! [/color]

Steele: Aw hell nah!

The two start getting up close and personal in each others faces like they are both ready to duke it out right here, right now to show whose the tougher man. Just then Kevin pries his body inbetween the two and pushes them away as they continue to exchange word.

Kevin Anderson: Guys! Guys!

Zero & Steele: WHAT?!

They both quickly turn and shout at him. Kevin is taken off guard and takes a moment to recoup.

Kevin Anderson: Uh...Uh -- right. Guys, I think you two should just worry about winning the match first! Then! Afterward you two can tear each others heads off! Or -- possibly just wait till Seven Deadly Sins!

Jake looks at Kevin and slowly moves his eyes over towards Zero, who is also thinking.

Steele: For once... dude got a point, we both know dat' we tryin to win tonight.

Zero :: Well you're with me, so of course you'll finally get to see how it feels for once. [/color]

Steele: Whatever... we a team tonight, but you betta' watch ya'self at SDS!

Zero :: Mhm....Yeah. [/color]

Zero shakes his head and walks past his temporary tag team partner.

Zero :: As long as you don't drag your ass tonight and pull your own weight--I'll consider waiting till the match is actually over before I put you into a World of hurt! [/color]

Steele: We'll see... about dat'!

Zero walks off the scene, leaving just Kevin Anderson and Steele. Kevin watches as Zero strolls off -- and then turns towards Steele who laughs for a second and looks at Kevin.

Steele: Is he for real?

Kevin sighs and shakes his head as he pulls his microphone away from his mouth. Can these two really work together to get the task at hand done? Or is this going to end up like the ending to last Thursday's Meltdown did: In a brawl? Hopefully for the well being of both these men, a little cooperation can be put to use.

The scene begins to fade out.

Segment: Laughing, all the way to the bank (Credit: BK London)

As the segment begins, its the moment of truth for both Chairman Gingerdude and his long time enemy, Stephan Russo. For a little more than a month now, Stephan Russo has been a thorn in the backside of Chairman Gingerdude since his return to wrestling television. For almost four years now, Stephan Russo has been plotting his return and a way to get back at Chairman Gingerdude for bankrupting his company and embarassing him in front of a worldwide audience.

Tonight, the announcement will be made to decide if Stephan Russo will rise to own 50% of Gingerdude's Chairman position, a position that has been held by him solely for the better part of four years.

Both Chairman Gingerdude and Stephan Russo are in the board room where they both met last week, staring at each other from opposite ends of the table. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. Chairman Gingerdude seems quite infuriated while Stephan Russo seems quite amused by Gingerdude's expression.

They're awaiting the arrival of Senior Board Member, Charles Anderson - father of Kevin Anderson, ACW interviewer. Within moments, Charles steps into the office and he takes his place at the center of the table between the other members of the board and more importantly, Gingerdude and Russo.

Charles Anderson: Excuse my lateness gentlemen, there was a little matter I had to attend to before I could show up this evening. Now I know you both have been waiting on the verdict from us board members, and we would like to give you both the floor for any final statements that could possibly persuade us to follow your way. Starting off, Mr. Jonathan Gingerdude...

All attention turns to Gingerdude, who stays seated.

Chairman Gingerdude: I have nothing else to follow up on sir. I believe my track record and four years of outstanding service speaks for itself. Four successful World Tours, countless high rated shows, PPV buys that are out of this world, all of these accolades contributed to by me and my sole ownership of ACW.

Russo, while not that impressed, continues to look professional while at the same time he wants to jump across the table and choke Gingerdude with his bare hands.

Charles Anderson: And Mr. Stephan Russo, would you like to follow up with any more statements?

Stephan Russo: No, I've said everything that I need to say.

Charles Anderson: Alright then, let's conclude this brief meeting with the announcement. It took 5 days of debating and arguing, but we all finally unanimously..

A brief cough, which strangely sounds like the word "queer", comes from far down, near Ginger's side of the table.

Charles Anderson: ...real mature Chuck...we all UNANIMOUSLY came to an agreement with the future of the Chairman spot..and we have decided that...

With that dramatic pause, the Chairman's heart begins beating furiously - but Russo seems strangely calm.

Charles Anderson: ..that Mr. Stephan Russo will serve as 50% Chairman of ACW...

It's a harsh blow to Chairman Gingerdude, and he attempts to keep a straight and professional demeanor - but he can't keep his rage in any further.

Charles Anderson: ...BUT, it will only be on a trial basis. From Seven Deadly Sins to Heatwave Mr. Russo, you WILL own 50% of ACW, but if you fail to keep the ratings up and produce fantastic shows - then your position WILL be stripped from you. That will be all, meeting adjourned.

And with that, Chairman Jonathan Gingerdude is the first to leave the board room - heading back to his office in a rage. He knocks over the trash receptacle while storming out of the room, and the other members of the board seem to feel for him - all but Mr. Russo and Charles Anderson.

The other members of the board clear out the office until Charles Anderson and Stephan Russo are left alone. Anderson begins placing his papers in his briefcase, and Stephan Russo approaches him. Anderson looks up at Russo and smiles at him, with a toothy grin.

Stephan Russo: So how much more did you want? Fifty thousand? A hundred thousand?

Charles Anderson: No, no, what you gave me was fine. It's just that, to make the situation more realistic - I had to implicate this trial basis thing. It also helped the rest of the members agree. It was hard to get Chuck on our side, being that he's good friends with Gingerdude, but we got it.

Stephan Russo: Chuck, huh? What's his last name?

Charles Anderson: Chuck Neverson.

Stephan Russo: Hmm, I don't think he'll be a problem to us anymore. Nice doing business with you Charles.

Charles Anderson: Same here, Chairman Russo.

A hearty laugh is shared between the two before Stephan Russo makes his exit from the locker room. Something dirty just went down in the board room, and it looks like we have a new Chairman because of it.

Segment: Bull At The Gates

(Credit: Scott Andrews)

After receiving a phone call from Jessie earlier, Scott was at ease and ready to take on six men at Seven Deadly Sins in one of the most brutal matches in ACW. With such a match on the card it was only natural that Kevin Anderson was on the trail to find one of the contestants to interview. He stalks the hallway; seeing a flutter of red pass by an open passage he gets a feeling he’s found someone. He directs his camera man to follow him as he rushes towards his target. He zips around the corner to see Scott Andrews in backstage attire making his way to the arena gym. Kevin approaches him and taps him lightly on the shoulder. Scott turns around to a camera man and “The Internet” in his face.

Scott:[/color] Whoa, Kevin, long time no see. Too bad I can’t stay and chat, I’ve got to head off to the gym. I’ve got a match tonight and an even more important match at the PPV this weekend, so if you don’t mind...

Kevin: Please, it’ll only take a minute!

Scott:[/color] Make it quick, Sherlock.

Kevin: Ok, first off, tonight, you face off against one of your opponents for your match at Seven Deadly Sins in Mr. Red; any strategies going into this match?

Scott: Mr. Red is a sucker punching little bitch; plain and simple. He wants to whine and moan about his place in ACW? Cry me a river. At least he can say he’s trying. But don’t complain about your situation, Red; do something about it. Even you wife’s doing better than you here. There’s no strategy here tonight, Kevin, I’m just going into this looking to put Red out before the pay per view.

Kevin: What about the other men in the match? What are your thoughts?

Scott: Kudo and Senator I respect, but as Ginger revealed last week, both have been acting up lately in their own way. I’ll have no problem taking them out if it means getting the opportunity to get the ACW Championship belt around my waist. Jay Zero’s just an asshole, that’s a given. He’s been winning lately, but he’s got to go through an assortment of opponents much tougher than what he’s been up against to rack up quick W’s. A.C. Evans and Steele are wildcards. I’ve never had the opportunity to go up against Evans at all in ACW, so it’ll be a new experience; breaking his skull and making him bleed will not. And I’ve tagged with Steele before, but never gone up against him. He showed me a good time, I’ll admit, but this Saturday, it’s about more than drinks and girls and money; it’s about the gold, the pinnacle of ACW. And Mr. Red? Well he’s been craving attention for weeks, and he gonna get it. Everyone’s eyes will be set on his motionless body as I do exactly what I’m gonna do tonight and that is take him out!

Kevin: Do you think Ginger was right when he said you’d gone from a lover to a fighter?

Scott: I’ve always been a bit of both, Kevin, but mostly I just kick your ass if you give me shit. What Ginger said struck a nerve because it made me truely realise what matters most, but also gave me the motivation to change back into what brought me to the dance; ruthless aggression, intensity, and more skill than you can shake a stick at! The Skill, Thrill and the Kill guaran-damn-tee’s that he will go into the Seven Deadly Sins match a fighter, slapping and kicking and slamming and jamming everybody in his way, and walk out with a contract covered in the blood of six other men signifying my moment of glory where I can get my opportunity to fight for ACW’s top prize. I know I can do it, Kevin, there’s no doubt in my mind. I’ve been drinking my water and doing my squats and I’m feeling good enough to run a marathon! So to my opponents at Seven Deadly Sins; this man you’re looking at at this very moment is hungry for victory and ready to eliminate every single one of you in order to obtain my prize. At Seven Deadly Sins I will walk out of there the winner!

Worked up and ready to punch a hole straight through a stone pillar, Scott turns and continues to his destination as Kevin turns to his camera man, satisfied with pulling an intense interview to hype the PPV and add to his portfolio.

Fade Out.

We begin in a dark room. Tension rising music starts playing. The camera seems to freak out, but then a giant explosion happens and the room is filled with food.
