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~}::
“EVPW I bring tonight another episode of Deck of Cards that covers the last two weeks.”
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.
“With the PPV just around the corner, lets see who's been performing well.”
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.
*~~{--NEW ENTRY--}~~*
~::NUMBER TEN-||-#10::~
^ Desperado ^
“Making the number ten spot on the Deck of Cards is the leader of the Revolution himself, Desperado. Having defeated Cameron Massey, the former Imperial Champion took on Vladimir Strife in one hell of a contest.”
Last time - N/A
A card is taken out of the pile this time and placed beneath number nine.
~::NUMBER NINE-||-#9::~
v Dave Carter v
“Dropping many a places on the Deck of Cards is last time fourth place, Dave Carter. First losing out to Heavy Groove, partnering his former team-mate Ryan Hughes, Dave then challenged the T.V. Champion Wolverina but after a tough contest, Dave Carter fell short to his first EVPW title. What awaits his EVPW career, only time will tell.”
Last time - NA
Mr Ace continues with the number eight card.
~::NUMBER EIGHT-||-#8::~
^ TPK ^
“Moving up a spot, The Psycho Kid. This guy has been having quite a few ups and downs. First lost to Brad Beauchamp in the Dragon's Rage tournament but put up a good fight before defeating Alex Night in a one on one competition. Now that the Breakfast boys have reformed, we can expect great things from the two.”
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::~
^ AJ Scally ^
“New Entry at number seven, AJ Scally. This ICW original has found his way onto the Deck of Cards after inspiring performances on WNG. First defeating James Williams with the victory being followed by another against CAW and Stan Dreamer for the first round of the United Glory Tournament.”
Last time - NA
Another card is taken from the pile and placed below number six.
*~~{--NEW ENTRY--}~~*
~::NUMBER SIX-||-#6::~
^ Cameron Massey ^
“Another new entry. The young and exciting Cameron Massey. After suffering a loss at the hands of Desperado, Cameron Massey has decided to step his game up and thus has advanced to the finals of the Dragon's Rage Tourny, defeating the likes of Khan and Steve O' on his way up. Can he pick up an upset victory at End of Innocence and grab some gold?”
Last time - NA
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.
*~~{--NEW ENTRY--}~~*
~::NUMBER FIVE-||-#5::~
^ Winthorp Darkrites ^
“At number fice we have the Dragon's Rage Champion who has entered the charts for the first time. Having at first lost out to Dominik Santiago in a triple threat match also involving Steve O', he decided to act like a champion and thus defeated Chris Pederoso, his long term rival as well as Shawn Dreamer and Cosmos at last weeks SNK. Has to defend his title in a fatal four-way at the PPV.
Last time - NA
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.
*~~{--NEW ENTRY--}~~*
~::NUMBER FOUR-||-#4::~
^ Brad Beauchamp ^
“Making his first appearance on the deck of cards, this fairly newcomer who has been crying for a title shot has taken the Dragon's Rage Tournament by storm. First he defeated the highly rated TPK before winning Kay Jay Barackus in the second round of the tournament. He becomes the third superstar to go on to face the champion in the finals at End of Innocence.”
Last time - NA
Another card is carefully placed at third position.
~::NUMBER THREE-||-#3::~
^ Vladimir Strife ^
“He climbs right back up, the Imperial Champion and King of EVPW. Taking on the Leader of the Revolution, Vladimir came out victorious in one spectacular match that the Genesis fans thoroughly enjoyed. The title is on the line at End of Innocence where Vladimir takes on the 'Chief Batmanite' Ryan Hughes.”
Last time - 7th
The runner-up card is put down and a smile embraces Antonio‘s face.
~::NUMBER TWO-||-#2::~
^ Wolverina ^
“Now this is one kick-ass chick and she's proved to those watching that girls can be just as tough as the guys. Wolverina has become the first female to win the Television Championship as well as the one of the only one's ever to hold a title. Her ongoing feud with the other leading female of Genesis, 'Little K' Kahlan leads to a PPV match between the two. Will she make it two title defences in a row? She's already defeated Chris Pyro for the title and last week she defeated the GHW Legend in Dave Carter."
Last time - 3rd
The final attachment of the top ten is made as the top superstar is placed at the Ace.
~::NUMBER ONE-||-ACE::~
^ Dominik Santiago ^
"Another two weeks of back to back wins. This guy is reigning like a King at SNK. Week in week out, he defeats one opponent after another. It's no wonder he's the Solid Core Champion and he'll be looking to add the Dragon's Rage title to his collection after winning both his matches in the Dragon's Rage Tournament defeating Alex Night and Jaggeroth on his way there.”

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.

“That‘s all there is from me for tonight I'm afraid. Catch me again in a next week for another show.”
Mr Ace sends a wink to he camera as the show goes of air.
