There is a dark room present as the words ‘Mr. Ace presents Pack of Cards’ appears. Light suddenly floods trough, in the form of a spot-light to give the view of the room which happens to be an empty casino giving the possibility it is after hours. Mr Ace appears out of the shadows with a pack of cards in his hands. He is dressed in a smart black Armani suit with matching shoes and a shining Rolex watch. He shuffles the cards in a water-fall fashion as they jump across from one hand to the other. He finishes off as he slams the pack on a poker table. The Ace of spades happens to flip out to the top. Mr Ace gleams a smile at the camera.
::{~Antonio Corradi Esquire-||-Mr. Ace~}::
“Welcome all to Mr. Ace’s Pack of Cards. Those of you who know me, you know what I am all about and those who don’t you will soon find out. I’m an Italian business man with a passion for wrestling and I happen to be the previous chairman of ICW. Due to some unforeseeable circumstances, I was forced to drop this position however, thanks to my good friend Mr. Banks, ICW managed to find a home in EVPW.”
A closer look at the table shows a bottle of wine with a glass and a separate deck of cards. Antonio takes hold of the bottle and prises it open before letting it flow into his glass. He carefully lifts it upright again making sure not to let even a drip go to waste. A small sip is taken before Mr Ace continues to speak.
Mr Ace arranges a set of ten cards in a row across the table. Each represents a number ranging from 10 to 2 whilst the last one has a large ‘A’ in the middle. He takes a card from a separate pile already placed on the desk. A card representing a wrestler is taken out and places it beneath the number ten. The camera closes in to show a close-up.
^ Gnarfflinger the Butcher ^
“The butcher gets my admiration this week as not only did he take on two younger opponents but was left to do all the work without a partner. Gnarfflinger didn‘t let the slightest of not having a partner cross his mind as he went along doing what he does best, … kick ass. It was a disappointment to see him lose but it was a good effort non-the-less.”

Two cards are taken out of the pile this time and placed beneath number nine.
~::NUMBER NINE-||-#9::~
^ The Kure ^
“Moving on to card number nine we have ICW’s very own Tripp and Darnez as they have now combined themselves to form ‘The Kure’. Despite their agonizing efforts, The Kure found themselves at the losers end of the table. Darnez lost out in a close contest to the Demon whilst Tripp struggled to pick up the finish to capture the win against Metal Dragon. Their efforts of purging people have gone to waste, perhaps the coming Pay-per-view will bring them something better.”
Last time - N/A
Another two superstars are taken from the deck and placed at the number eight spot. Antonio takes a small sip of his wine before continuing.
~::NUMBER EIGHT-||-#8::~
^ Thomas Cathy and Ricky Masters ^
”The victors against the one man team of Gnarfflinger. Nothing much too be proud of but a win is a win and should be counted, even if it is nothing too special. Cathy is looking to have established a strong hold into the wrestling industry, but I‘m still sure he can keep himself at the top of his game. He defends his title against Demon. Can he survive?
Ricky himself needs to step up his game and challenge amongst the best to make a bigger name for himself. He has got a chance to capture some of his own gold as he is one of the six participants in the dictator’s rules match for the EVPW TV title. These two are potential risers for next week.”
Last time - N/A
A smile escapes Antonio’s lips as he places a familiar face beneath the number seven card.
~::NUMBER SEVEN-||-#7::~
^ Amanda Hallsworth ^
“The Chick with the Kick. Amanda faced off against Trix this week. Boy was it a good match to watch. I’m not just talking about the eye-candy but the wrestling ability they both possess can match most of the male superstars. Amanda came out on top and finds herself against Metal Dragon for the Dragon’s Rage title at Killing Grounds.”
Last time - N/A
Another card is taken from the pile and placed below number six.
~::NUMBER SIX-||-#6::~
^ Alex Stall ^
“The much awaited return of the ‘Insane Angel’ sent the fans in raptures as they witnessed Alex Stall defeat Desperado in an I quit match. This past week, Alex decided to depart the Kingdom and go separate ways from his cousin, Vladimir Strife. Vlad however, has a trick or two up his sleeve as his response involved a hook to the jaw. We need to wait and find out what is in store between these bickering cousins. At Killing Grounds, Alex will be representing The Coven as he teams up with King Bear to take on Tyson Gaines and Dereck Willings.”
Last time - NA
Mr. Ace looks through the pile of cards and shuffles through to find the one for the fifth position and places it at number five spot.
~::NUMBER FIVE-||-#5::~
^ Azumi ‘The Jade Dragon‘ Sakaguchi ^
”Azumi takes spot number five with her magnificent win over Corrin Cobain. With her gorgeous looks and deadly game, you don‘t know what to expect. I‘ll tell you what I expect, one hell of a performance against the alpha female, Angel Morgan. The two go head-to-head in a ‘Cat o' Nine Tails’ match.”
Last time - N/A
Antonio takes the glass to his lips again and this time swallows the rest of the contents of the glass before placing at the table where it was originally located. Another card is taken from the pile and placed at four.
~::NUMBER FOUR-||-#4::~
^ NVX ^
“The self proclaimed ‘Dark Prince of Xtreme‘ finds his place at number four. He picked up a sound victory against Terrance ‘The Game‘ Howard. That was the least we could have expected from a former ICW Heavyweight champion and leader of the XWO. Unfortunately for all the NVX fans, he wont be competing next week at the Pay-Per-View.”
Last time - N/A
Two more cards are taken from the superstar pile and placed at card three.
~::NUMBER THREE-||-#3::~
^ The Coven ^
”That brings us down to our final three. In third place we have ‘The Coven‘. Perhaps the greatest stable to grace the wrestling world. Papa Bear, … or should I say ‘The King‘ lead by example as he directed his team comprising of himself and El Cunajo Blanco to demolish The Fallen Angels. Chris Pyro and Brian Brooks put up a decent fight but proved no match for ECB and King Bear‘s experience. King Bear teams up with Alex Stall as they brace themselves for another tag-team bout.”
Last time - N/A
The runner-up card is put down and it is truly deserved.
~::NUMBER TWO-||-#2::~
^ Demon ^
“Demon was ranked second in my opinion after defeating the former SNK Knockout Champion and one half of ‘The Kure‘ Darnez FC. A tough contested match saw Demon come out on top and this has won him a chance at the Imperial Title as he battles it out with Thomas Cathy in a barb-wired cage match. Who the hell comes up with these things? Anyways, best of luck to him."
Last time - 3rd
The final attachment of the top ten is made as the top superstar is placed at the Ace.
~::NUMBER ONE-||-ACE::~
^ Metal Dragon ^
"Now for the top spot. The Ace of the pack. This position is reserved for the best of the lot. For myself the best of the lot was Metal Dragon. He expressed his passion as he took on the other half of ‘The Kure’. The Rated HXC superstar and ICW Original Tripp. Metal Dragon booked himself a spot for the vacant Dragon’s Rage title at Killing Grounds as he defeated Tripp. All that remains now between the him and the title is Amanda Hallsworth."

Antonio Corradi Esquire takes another four cards out from the original deck and places them in order from Jack to Queen to King. The Joker sits in a corner of its own.
“Lets have us move on to some prestigious awards that cannot be appreciated by the ranks of simple match winning. These happen to be those who I personally have taken a liking to through their works on the EVPW camera and their efforts.”
Mr Ace takes forth three cards from the wrestler pile and places one of them at the Jack spot.
~::Most Promising-||-JACK::~
Terrence ‘The Game‘ Howard
“First off, the jack of the pack. The individual who I found to have put in a lot of effort and deserved a mention. In this case it happens to be Terrence ‘The Game’ Howard. An impressive debut against the King of Xtreme and I swear he had the guy running for his money.”
Another card is taken up and put beneath the space for the Queen.
~::Most Influential Female-||-QUEEN::~
Angel Morgan
“Now this lass ain’t somebody to be messed with. She means business in this male dominated business. Not only is she going to face Azumi at Killing grounds, she got herself lined up with Desperado. Having an ally like Desperado can either make you or break you big time. She has decided to go with him, we’ll just have to see where it goes from here. But it doesn‘t end here for the new Wednesday Night Sensation. This deadly diva went one step further as she decided to crack Rhaps open with a chair. I reckon a stabbing could be coming along soon for miss heedless. But for this week, she was the bomb.”
The final card out of the three is placed down and a smirk appears on Antonio’s face.
~::Most Influential Male-||-KING::~
Nicholas Carson
“Now this fellah has been giving Devin Bozz all sorts of troubles these past few weeks and it only got worse this week. He drove Devin crazy up the wall when he sent him a tray of brownies from the so called ‘Family members of the roster‘. I still can‘t believe Devin fell for it but boy was that a laugh. He takes on Terrence Howard at Killing Grounds. That might be something to watch considering how wacky this guy is. The lunatic even went on to interrogate poor Lizzie in an attempt to loosen his foolish mind and set up a death-wish with a challenge to Vlad. And the ranting, … God he rants worse than Darnez. I feel sorry for poor Lizzie who had to deal with it. Not picking favourites, I just hope he gets the beating he truly deserves.”
Mr Ace takes another card from the cards deck and reveals it beneath the joker.
~::Joker of the Week-||-JOKER::~
Crash Barley
“I thought we’d finish up on a funny note, … Haha. I know Nicholas could have easily taken this award but something even funnier caught my eye as poor old Gnarff was left to take on two youthful opponents alone as his partner Crash Barley decided to show up on him. This is becoming beyond a joke now. Will Gnarff ever find someone who he can rely on? Crash is one of the six to be participating in the dictator rules match for the EVPW TV title. Lets see if he can show up when it matters to him.”
Mr Ace packs up all the cards on the desk and separates them back into the separate two piles he started with. He pushes his seat back and lets himself out of the seat. He begins to walk around the casino as the camera continues to follow him.
::{~Antonio Corradi Esquire-||-Mr. Ace~}::
“That‘s all there is from me for tonight. Catch me again in a fort-night as I continue this new show of mine where I compare contrast and rank the superstars of EVPW. I hope you had fun guys, I‘ll see you soon.”
Mr Ace sends a wink to a wink to he camera as the show goes of air.
