There is a dark room present as the words ‘Mr. Ace presents Deck 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 the fifth episode of my show. Cant believe its been five already. Time sure flies. So tonight, I bring you another Pay-Per-View edition of Deck of Cards”
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.
“End of Innocence was a spectacular night indeed. I thought so and judging from the fans and ratings, I was right. So lets see who helped make this spectacular night, truly spectacular.”
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.
~::NUMBER TEN-||-#10::~
v Zombie v
“Zombie took part last week in the exceeding expectations over the top-rope battle royal. Although he was very impressive he managed to fall short on the win thanks to the remarkable performance from Phenomena thus dropping four places in the charts. Hopefully he‘ll be able to bounce back from this loss and go back on his winning run.”
Last time - 6th
A cards is taken out of the pile this time and placed beneath number nine.
*~~{--NEW ENTRY--}~~*
~::NUMBER NINE-||-#9::~
^ Darnez FC ^
“Darnez set himself up to a big win at End of Innocence defeating the returning AJ Scally. Darnez is a very impressive athlete in my opinion and I can see the potential in this one. I just hope the knock to the head from Tyler does not cause too much damage to him. Poor Darnez, I hope he doesn‘t get affected when he faces Daniel Throne and former Television Champion Crazy Boy.”
Last time - N/A
A smile escapes Antonio’s lips as he places a familiar face beneath the number eight card.
*~~{--NEW ENTRY--}~~*
~::NUMBER EIGHT-||-#8::~
^ Amanda Hallsworth ^
“Amanda impressed me this. She kept her cool although she was partnering one of her arch rivals. She kept clam and collected and used her strengths and tweaked Rhaps‘ weaknesses to give him the beating of a lifetime whilst adding in a whole lot of humiliation. The ‘Chick with the Kick’ will be transferring to the Wednesday Night Genesis roster to the disappointment of the SNK fans. This is all to form an exceptionally good women’s division on Genesis.”
Last time - N/A
Another superstar is taken from the deck and placed at the number seven spot. Antonio takes a small sip of his wine before continuing.
*~~{--NEW ENTRY--}~~*
~::NUMBER SEVEN-||-#7::~
^ Phenomena ^
“Phenomena showed that he is truly phenomenal as he grabbed an awesome victory against the likes of Nathan Drake, Nightmare, Zombie and the returning Asari Hakuto. This young superstar, member of the Locash Cowboys, was in sensational form as he beat a number of other superstars to win an over-the-top-rope battle royal. He will be taking on one of his opponents from the battle royal, … Nightmare.”
Last time - N/A
Another card is taken from the pile and placed below number six.
~::NUMBER SIX-||-#6::~
v Crazy Boy v
“This guy deserves a lot of praise for is effort but a month after he picked up the EVPW Television title he lost it out to the Saturday Night Knockout Champion, Metal Dragon. After a whole month of awesome matches and breath-taking performances, the one man who had a good chance of defeating Metal Dragon had a poor night. Perhaps the two could face off again and the results might be in his favour.”
Last time - 2nd
Mr. Ace looks through the pile of cards and shuffles through to find the one’s for the fifth position and places them at the number five spot.
~::NUMBER FIVE-||-#5::~
- XWO -
“Although NVX had a challenging match at hand, He remained strong and did very well and had it been another night, he might have grasped the win but it was not meant to be. Although he lost, Angel managed to defeat the master of evil himself, … Rhaps with the help of her new ally and old rival Amanda. The two will be hoping to get together the pieces of XWO that remain and pull the stable back together. After the death of Lachlan and the absence of Evan. They were the remaining two members of the XWO. Now with Evans return and Angel‘s reunion with old buddy Tyler Nathan Thomas, business will surely pick up again.”
Last time - 5th
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::~
^ Jake Diamond ^
“I am sorry to announce this will probably be the last time ‘The Future’ Jake Diamond will be part of the set-up of my show for your hero has announced his retirement from professional wrestling. He claims the fourth spot after a fantastic Pay-Per-View. Jake Diamond leaves EVPW on a high after defeating Dominik Santiago in what happened to be a breath-taking match. I do hope this is isn‘t the last we see of this amazing talent of a wrestler.”
Last time - 8th
Another card is carefully placed at third position.
~::NUMBER THREE-||-#3::~
v The Imperfects v
“That brings us down to our final three. Representing the Imperfects we have Demon and Nicholas Carson. Now this is an interesting one. As you know, Demon was involved in a cage of light-tubes match against the one and only Vladimir Strife in which he lost after a successful winning streak since defeating Thomas Cathy for the Imperial Title at the last PPV. The defeat cost the Imperfects the top spot of this chart but they remain in the top three thanks to the magnificent performance by the sadistic clown Nicholas Carson in the Imperial Championship Tournament finals which happened to be a ladder match. The Mauling Maniac went up against fellow Imperfect Desperado. XWO member and rival NVX as well as the man who hated him the most, Duke Taylor. Carson managed to defeat the odds and win the match which makes him the number one contender for Demon‘s title.”
Last time - Ace
The runner-up card is put down and a smile embraces Antonio‘s face.
~::NUMBER TWO-||-#2::~
^ Metal Dragon ^
“Many people doubted him when it came to this match but not me. I knew Metal Dragon could do it and make history becoming the first person in EVPW to become a double crown champion. His match against Crazy Boy was one to be remembered, a dragon’s dungeon match. That makes a lot of sense, Metal Dragon defends, the Dragon‘s Rage title in a Dragon’s Dungeon match. That sounds like a game of Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Dungeons and Dragon all fit into one. However, it was much more gruesome than any game involving cards or any board game. Metal Dragon is claiming his way to his spot at the top again. Only time will tell if he can become as great as the man who holds the number one spot."
Last time - 4th
The final attachment of the top ten is made as the top superstar is placed at the Ace.
~::NUMBER ONE-||-ACE::~
^ Vladimir Stife ^
And the Ace of the week is the rightful owner of the throne, Vladimir T. Strife, The King of Hardcore. Vladimir proved titles and high reputation doesn‘t mean a thing when you face the undefeated king of wrestling. Demon fought hard and well to protect his title but Vlad did what he does best and crushed his spirit and won the match. Will Vlad ever be beaten? Only time will tell?”

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.
“Moving onto the Royal Family. The following have really impressed me this past week with their presence both inside and outside the ring”
Mr Ace takes forth a few cards from the wrestler pile and places them at the Jack spot.
~::Most Promising-||-JACK::~
Locash Cowboys
“Now I‘m not too sure what they‘re meant to be or what they‘re out there to accomplish but these load of promising superstars have united together under the guidance of Old Papa Pure himself, The Purest. Now I see them like outlaws. A group of young superstars wishing to make they‘re way to the top of the hierarchy whilst making sure to have fun all the way along. So far they consist of Nathan Drake, The Purest, Alex Thunder and Phenomena. Many of them were part of the open invitation battle royal. Its no wonder, one of them came out as the winner. My thoughts are, … these kids are going to rock and knock the SNK roster all the way around the block.”
Another two cards are taken up and put beneath the space for the Queen.
~::Most Influential Female-||-QUEEN::~
Angel Morgan & Amanda Hallsworth
“Angel and Amanda are my queens for this week for not only beating Rhaps to sheer humiliation and giving him a lesson of embarrassment. They also worked as a perfect team looking past their differences to work on the mission at hand. They even had a surprise for Rhaps or should I say a prank as they made him comfortable at the hospital. I just wish we can see more of these two together. Now with the women’s division being enhanced, I am sure there will be a lot more competition for this position so ladies, enjoy it while it lasted. Who knows, who’ll keep their throne and who will drop their crown."
The final cards of the Royal Family are placed down and a smirk appears on Antonio’s face.
~::Most Influential Male-||-KING::~
The Fallen Angels
“I‘m not sure what it is about them that keeps catching my eyes but their lack of an appreciation of the Coven surely grabbed my attention. Apparently, they believe they‘re better off on their own. They‘ve formed their own coven of a sorts with a mysterious new member in the form of a woman. I wonder what surprises they hold for EVPW in the future. The first step to their new journey away from the Coven gained them the EVPW tag-titles via the most bizarre circumstance. I think luck is on their side cause not every day do you meet Rhaps and receive gold as a gift and I‘m not talking about a golden knife being plunged into your skin but gold as in championship gold. Chris Pyro and Brian Brooks have officially forced their way into the top half of the EVPW hierarchy. Now its their job to remain in the top half and continue climbing to ultimate success.”
Mr Ace takes another card from the cards deck and reveals it beneath the joker.
~::Joker of the Week-||-JOKER::~
Rhaps
“I‘ll probably have to watch my back for putting him on the Joker‘s list for this week but boy did Rhapsy make me laugh watching his performance at End of Innocence. First off, He took a right off beating at the hands of Amanda and Angel, so much that he was humiliated and angrier than hell itself. Now I'm not sure for what reason, he decided to drop his tag-title, which he thought were a waste of time and at burden to carry, to the first person he saw which happened to be Brian Brooks at the time. Now I‘m not sure if it was the fact that he gave away his tag-titles to one of his enemies, he decided to confront Desperado for no apparent reason and stabbed him for being part of his stable. I can‘t exactly figure out what this means but is Rhapsy finally losing it? Wait, … did he even have it to lose it in the first place? But the funniest thing happened to be the look on his face once he was done at the hospital and I literally mean the look on his face. My two favourite girls Amanda and Angel smeared his face with cosmetics such as bright red lipstick and pink eye-shadow to give him a whole makeover. I'm sure Rhaps was fuming under his new mask of feminism but I must admit, he could make a cute transexual. Haha, ...”
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 my new show.”
Mr Ace sends a wink to he camera as the show goes of air.
