(Hope Locker Room, before the show)
"So you're the infamous Jason Sabre that I've heard so many things about. I'm not going to lie, I've been impressed with what I've seen from you." Rey said as he sits in a chair in front of the standing Jason and Detrick.
"Thanks. I really needed approval from you." Jason said, rolling his eyes, before Detrick nudges him. "I totally didn't mean that in a sarcastic way in case you were wondering."
"Yeah, he'll totally believe that." Detrick sighs.
"Right." Rey said, before getting up from his chair. "I don't mind the attitude. I can see that you're a good person. Detrick wouldn't have recommended you if you weren't."
"Recommended me for what? I already told him that I'm not joining Hope." Jason said as he turns his head to Detrick.
"I am aware of that. But you are a great Professional Wrestler and I think that you are better as an ally than our enemy." Rey said.
"Listen, Detrick knows me better than anyone. He'll bet his own life that I would never join Despair. I have way to much of a personal grudge to do so." Jason said
"Did something happen?" Rey asked
"I don't talk about it and you shouldn't ask about it." Jason said, before Rey nods, understanding.
"What is going on here?" Came the voice of Will Ralston as he walks into the locker room and storms up to Jason and Detrick.
Sin #1: And Just like that, Hope's gonna loose Jason because Will opened his mouth.
"Oh no." Detrick said as Ralston gets in his face.
"What is wrong with you Detrick? What type of betrayal is this?" Will said
"Betrayal?" Detrick questions.
"Yes betrayal. I know what betrayal is. My Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather betrayed America during a war.
Sin #2: Why would you brag about that?
What is this criminal scum doing in my locker room." Will said, before pointing at Jason.
"Why would you say that your ancestors betrayed America?" Detrick questions
"Also, aren't you from Scotland?" Jason points out.
"That's not the point. The point is this. Why are we associating ourselves with scum like him? Especially when I'm going to beat him later tonight. He has no use to us. He is no hero. He's-" WIll said.
"I'd watch what you say before Jason rips your head off." Detrick warns as Will, notices the cold stare coming from Jason.
"Of course you'd resort to such barbaric means such as attacking someone when they speak the truth. I would never do such a thing. Instead, I will wait until our match tonight to fight, because I am a gentleman." Ralston said, before Rey gets in the way of Jason and Ralston.
Sin #3: I'm starting to get the point where I'll just add a sin every time I see Will Ralston, because he's an egotistical ass. How is he not the main antagonist?
"Jason, it was nice meeting you, but you need to leave." Rey said
"You want me to leave and this jackass to stay?" Jason asked
"He is a member of Hope. You are not. You need to leave before this breaks down into something bad." Rey said.
"Too late old man. It's already broken down and later tonight is going to be the end result of it, because I'm about to break this idiots teeth. Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go to the president's office and make him add a stipulation to our match so I don't get disqualified when I murder the skidmark on the underwear known as planet earth." Jason threatens, looking straight at Will, before leaving. Will turns to Detrick.
"People like him shouldn't be allowed here. You better not bring him here again." Will demands
"Or what?" Detrick challenges
"Or else." Will threatens
Sin #4: Empty threats, Will. So, please, do everyone a favor, and shut up.
Despair HQ
In Azriel's throne room, he sits on his metallic throne. The hood of his robe up. His eyes closed. The room filled with pure darkness with only the illumination of candles surrounding him and providing a light source.
"Are you in deep thought, my lord." Giselle said, causing Azriel's eyes to open.
"What is your business?" Asked Azriel.
"In my spare time I have been researching the other four men who might oppose you at Glory Bound." Giselle said.
"Have you been following them around?" Azriel asked.
"I lurked in the shadows and none of those men noticed. I do not doubt that you can take on any of the four by themselves, but if they team up then I can see you not winning the match and the Championship." Giselle said
Sin #5: Sooo...you've been stalking them. Yeah. great.
"They won't. They have their own selfish desires. Those desires will cloud their minds and cause them to have a 'one versus all' mentality." Azriel said.
"Not quite. Will Ralston is overconfident and obsessed with the notion of being a hero to the world. Furno Moxley is selfish and only cares about his own desires. Those two will adopt that mentality in the match if they make it. But, Jason Sabre and Detrick Cyrus are completely different." Giselle said
"Elaborate." Azriel demands.
"Detrick Cyrus and Jason Sabre share a bond that goes beyond family ties. It goes beyond bloodlines. It's pure. Neither would ever turn on the other. It's very similar to how you were in your past life." Giselle said, before the hand of Azriel shoots up and grabs her throat. Azriel stands up as Giselle drops to both her knees, holding onto his hand. She gasps for air.
Sin #6: Uh...isn't that your queen?
"Azriel, let go of your queen." Commands Micah Hyde as he enters the candle lit room. Azriel lets go of Giselle, causing her to instantly start breathing heavily.
"No bond is pure. No bond is unbreakable." Azriel said, looking down at Giselle. Micah approached the two. "Your words are a falsehood. Even in my past life, my bonds could be shattered."
"But your bonds will be fixed Azriel when we induct your baby brother into True Despair." Micah said as Giselle got to her feet, holding her throat. "As for the bond of Jason Sabre and Detrick Cyrus, we need to break it. The two together is too powerful even if one chooses not to walk on the same side as the other. Long term, both of them will become a threat to you, my Lord."
"What do you recommend?" Azriel asked
"We can do one of two things. We could simply kill one of them, but that would be very difficult for us in the long run.
Sin #7: If you don't like someone, just kill them.
Or we could have one of them join us. Detrick is who I'd prefer as taking him would be a massive blow to Hope." Micah Guy said
"Impossible." Giselle spoke up, getting the attention of Micah. She stayed quiet for a little bit as Micah observed her and then began to speak again. "Jason Sabre is the one."
"How do you know?" Azriel asked, looking down at Giselle, who stayed silent after hearing the cold tone in his voice.
"Yes Giselle. How do you know?" Micah asked with a great interest
"Detrick's heart lies with Hope. Jason's heart lies with the pain of loss. He has felt Despair. His will is not as strong as Detrick. His life is not as successful as Detrick's. He is the one that teeters between good and evil." Giselle explains.
"So he is the weaker minded of the two. If that's the case, then he would be the easier target and the lesser challenger to my position. Micah, I am entrusting you to convince Jason to join us." Azriel said.
"Why him?" Asked Giselle
Sin #8: Because you clearly have the hots for him.
"This matter doesn't concern you. I'd rather have my advisor recruit him than my Queen. However, I need you to do something important tonight." Azriel said
"And what is that, my lord?" Giselle asked
"I want you...to lose." Azriel said "It is not a choice...it is an order."
"Azriel-" Giselle said, before Azriel got close to her face, scaring the much smaller women
"I cannot afford you two making us look bad over a squabble. Tonight, you will show the world that Despair is united and that this was a plan to get us a spot in the next round. Or I will have both of you sent to Sara Lewis for a unspeakable punishment." Azriel threatens. Giselle simply nods as her body shakes.
Sin #9: or, you know, you could just have Adela lose willingly. Not make your queen look weak. Cause the drama is Adela's fault.
"Welcome everyone to ACW! Tonight we have another great card lined up for you and it is main evented by Will Ralston vs Jason Sabre. The winner will advance to Glory Road where they will be one of three men in the ACW World Championship match." David said.
"My sources have told me that Will Ralston does not like Jason Sabre and has called him 'Nomadic Scum' in the past. Meanwhile, Jason is not a fan of The Avenger either. He really wants to hurt him. In fact, he went to Richard Montoya and got this match turned into a Fight without Honor. No Dqs, No Count Outs, No ref stoppage. Anything goes and it's going to be a bloody good horror scene." Evan said
Sin #10: When did Evan get so boring?
"Also the Womens Championship tournament will continue as Adela Harroway takes on Giselle. Both are members of Despair and Adela personally chose Giselle." David said
"Despair's girls could explode. Or they could have orchestrated a plan to guarantee a spot in the Semi-Finals. Only time will tell what is going on between these two ladies as they fight to see who will face Natalia Rodriguez in three weeks." Evan said
"Speaking of the Womens Championship tournament, we have a tag team match that will determine what happens to next weeks first round match that begins…..now!" David said
I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
"Mason Locke and Kyle Stevens have a couple things in common, including their dedication to Hope." Evan said
"Both men have been called upon to assist Richard Montoya in his deal with Freddy Escobar and Jacob Brooks the Third. You see, Jacob's sister and Freddy's fiancee, Talia Brooks wishes to be apart of the ACW Womens Championship tournament." David explains
"So if Freddy and Jacob win, Talia will be added to next weeks Erin Frost vs Rayleen Barnette match." Evan interjects.
"Thanks for interrupting." David said
"Anytime." Evan replies
Ladies and Gentlemen
J...B...3
Sin #11: Where are JB1 and JB2?
"They're coming out Jacob Brooks theme." David notes
"A billionaire is better than a millionaire." Evan said
"I wish I was a millionaire." David admits
Sin #12: everyone does.
"I wish you weren't on the announce team." Evan quips
"I'd tell you something else I'd wish for, but there's children watching this show." David said.
Sin #13: Whoa, David, keep it in your pants!
The bell rings. Jacob and Kyle circle each other, before Kyle does a double leg takedown on the billionaire. Kyle then follows it up by putting him in a side headlock. Jacob gets to his feet and pushes Kyle to the ropes. Kyle comes back with a crossbody to knock him down. Kyle picks Jacob up and delivers a body kick, that sends him into Hope's corner. Kyle makes a quick tag to Mason. The 6'2 lean and muscled man enters. Mason connects with a couple of quick jabs to the face, before he pulls Jacob out of the corner. Mason quickly hits a standing dropkick on Jacob, before he connects with a knee drop. Mason then picks Jacob up, but Jacob catches him with a body blow to the gut. After creating a couple inches of distance, he catches him with a big elbow smash! Mason falls to the floor as Jacob scowls at him, before forcefully slapping Freddy's hand and tagging him in.
"Freddy was tagged in. I don't know if he was expecting it though." David said
Sin #14: It's a tag match. He should be prepared to do some work. It's not like he can have Ceaser do it for him
"It doesn't matter. Jacob was smart enough to know that he needed to tag out or else his sister's hopes of being Womens Champion could've been dashed." Evan said
Freddy looks at Jacob, before entering the ring. Freddy charges toward the calm Mason Locke, only for Mason to catch him with a Drop Toe Hold. Mason follows up by mounting Freddy's back and delivering a couple blows to the side of the head, before getting off of him. Mason runs off the ropes as Freddy gets up and then clobbers the Prince with a stiff clothesline that sends Freddy back to the ground. Mason picks Freddy up and tries to Irish whip him, only for it to get reversed. Mason comes back into a Superkick! Mason falls to the mat, before Freddy grabs his arm and drops down into a Cross Armbreaker. However, Mason isn't too far from the ropes and grabs the bottom one, before much damage can be done.
Freddy gets his feet and tries to pick up Mason, only to be met with an elbow to the gut. Freddy back and Mason lunges toward his partner and tags in Kyle Stevens. Kyle quickly climbs up to the top turnbuckle, but by the time he gets there, he sees Freddy running at him. Kyle flies over Freddy's head and lands on his feet. Freddy stops and turns around into a double knee facebuster. Freddy falls back into the ropes and bounces off them, only for Kyle to catch him with a spinning heel kick. Kyle decides to ascend to the top turnbuckle that is near his partner, before diving off with a Diving Leg Drop. But Freddy rolls out of the way and causes Kyle to crash. Freddy gets to his feet after about twenty seconds, shaking off the previous flurry. However, he is caught by an inside Cradle when he turns around.

Kick out at 2.12
Freddy gets to his feet and is almost immediately kicked in the gut. Kyle then Irish whips Freddy into his teams corner and tags in Mason. Mason enters the ring and it's a couple quick strikes to the body of Freddy. He then drags Freddy out of the corner and connects with a vertical suplex. Mason then tags Kyle back in, which leads to Kyle ascending to the top.
"Kyle might be looking for a 450 or Spiral tap. If he connects with either, then it's game over for the rich guys." David said
"Do you think he's even done enough damage to even attempt one of his finishers?" Questions Evan Neal
Kyle jumps off with a 450 Splash, but his finisher is avoided by Freddy!
Sin #15: Well, that answers Evan's question.
Freddy rolls out of the way which causes Kyle to crash and burn. Freddy gets up and knocks Mason off the apron with a punch to the face. Freddy quickly capitalizes by attempting a Kingslayer (Curb Stomp) and it is Freddy's finisher that connects! However, Jacob Brooks immediately yells at Freddy to tag him in.
"Why's Freddy just standing there? He should go for the pin." David said
Freddy looks straight at Jacob, before walking over and tagging him in.
"It looks like he's trying to suck up to his future Brother in Law." Evan Neal comments
Jacob arrogantly walks toward Kyle Stevens, however he gets distracted when Freddy is pulled off the ring apron by Mason! Jacob turns his attention to the fuss and sees Mason punch Freddy in the face. Then, from behind, Kyle Stevens schoolboys Jacob!

"Kyle and Mason have defeated Jacob Brooks & Freddy Escobar!" David exclaims.
"This is a massive upset! They snuck a win past these two millionaires. Freddy should've just went for the pin instead of trying to kiss Jacob's billion dollar backside. Freddy's future wife is not going to be happy with this result, because now, next weeks Rayleen Barnett vs Erin Frost match will stay one on one." Evan said
Sin #16: So Freddy's not gonna get to marry Talia now? Even though it was clearly Jacob's fault that they lost?
"I guess he's sleeping on the couch tonight." David said
"Well their couch is probably better than your bed." Evan said
"I hate you with a burning passion." David comments.
(Richard Montoya's office)
Ray Kiran sits in the office of Richard Montoya with a Cheesy White suit and a puffy button up shirt. His tie has puppies on it. In his hand was a wrapped gift. Richard Montoya walks in from behind.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I was busy in the bathroom." Richard said as he walked toward his desk. "Would you like a drink?"
"Do you have any Caprisun?" Kiran asked, getting a look of disgust from Richard.
"No. I'm a grown man, not a five year old." Richard said, before sitting in his seat, across from Ray.
Sin #17: Caprisun? Capri-? Are you-what-I-OH FOR GODS SAKE!
"Firstly, it is an honor to finally meet you and get a job interview to work for ACW." Ray Kiran said, before extending his hand.
"This is not a job interview." Richard said as Ray Kiran continued to extend his hand. "I'm not shaking that. It's very sweaty."
"I'm sorry." Ray apologized before putting his hand down.
"Now, tell me why you're here." Richard asked
"Sir, for the last two weeks there has been a band of meanies beating me up-" Kiran said
"That sounds like a job for your elementary school to handle. Not me." Richard said
"No, sir, you have to listen. They've been doing it while I attend ACW and they are a big threat to your company. They could destroy whatever ACW stands for." Kiran threats, before Richard chuckles
Sin #18: Right. Just because you're easy to beat up, they could completely destroy ACW. Here's a question: Why would they want to destroy ACW?
"Nothing is a threat to ACW, but I do kinda like you. Not in a 'I support you way'. More like in a 'I want to see your chubby face get bloodied' way. So let's cut a deal." Richard said
Sin #19: I was gonna sin the sentence, but we all wanna see Ray get hurt. But, sin for misleading sentence.
"I can't cut anything. My mom doesn't let me use knives." Kiran said
"Shut up and let me finish, Kiran Two necks. I want you to keep quiet about you being attacked at my shows, so I will give you a job here. In fact, next week, you will have your debut match against-"
"Can I pick my opponent?" Kiran asked
"No and the next time you interrupt me, I'm going to knock the candy out you. You stupid walking pinata. Anyways, you will face Casey Harris. If you win, I'll buy you lunch."
Sin #20: We all know he's gonna loose, right?
"It's a deal!" Ray Kiran said, before getting out of his seat and offering a handshake.
"I'm still not shaking it." Richard said
"That's okay." Kiran said, before putting it down. "I'm going to wrestle in ACW. I'm totally getting a girlfriend now!"
Sin #21: Look at it this way. God intended everyone to have a romantic partner. The problem is, you don't qualify when I say, everyone.
Kiran then ran toward the door, but stopped before opening it to breath heavily
"Oh my god...I'm so tired." Kiran said, before opening the door and leaving.
"That kid is going to die." Richard said
Sin #22: And the world will breath a sigh of relief as his footsteps will stop causing Tsunamis in Japan.
(Ad break)
(Jason's locker room)
Jason Sabre puts his half red and half black jacket on before pulling up the zipper. He looks at the mirror in the locker, looking at his reflection. Then in a second, the reflection of Giselle appeared in the mirror. Jason wasn't even startled. Instead, a grin formed across his face.
"Are you here for another round after last week?" Jason said, before turning around to face the Rose of Sin.
"I am not here for sexual pleasures Jason." Giselle said
Sin #23: Hahahahahahaha, Bullshit.
"Maybe after the show when we win our matches, then. We can call it a celebration. This time we can go to my place, instead of doing it in my car." Jason suggests.
"No. There will be no reason for me to celebrate. I have been commanded by Azriel to lose tonight." Giselle said.
"Why?" Jason said.
"It is my Lord's will, so I have no choice but to do it." Giselle explains.
"That's a load of crap. You don't have to do anything he says. You choose to. If I were you, then I'd say fuck you to that giant jackass and go for the win." Jason said
"If you were me and you attempted that, then you will be dead minutes after the match." Giselle said.
"Aren't you supposed to be his Queen?" Jason questions
"I am." Giselle agrees.
"How can you be someone's Queen, yet live in the fear of him murdering you? It just doesn't make sense. Why would he even choose you for that role if he doesn't even trust you." Jason said.
"He didn't choose me. Azriel & I were brought together by destiny. A sick and twisted destiny where I would serve him and be abused by him. But destiny has also led me to you." Giselle said.
"Are we about to get into that bullshit about me being the King of Despair again?" Jason questions
"It is your birthright to dethrone Azriel and stand beside me as King." Giselle said.
"I'm not going to join Despair. I'm not going to cause a coup d'etat on Azriel. I can't live a life in Despair." Jason said.
"But you've been living a life in Despair for years Jason." Giselle said, causing Jason to tense up a bit. "Your best friends left you. Both of them. One to become a millionaire. The other to become a worldwide symbol of Hope. Meanwhile, you were left behind to become nothing. Your ex wife and your child left you alone. You know what Despair feels like. But if you embrace it, Despair will stop hurting you and instead, it will heal your wouds through the Despair of others."
"Shut your mouth right now, before I shut it for you." Jason threatens slowly.
"I see it your eyes right now." Giselle said. "A scared little boy, who thought that he had his entire life all figured out. That was until it all came crashing down."
Jason turns around and faces his own reflection with Giselle staring straight at him through the mirror.
"Just leave." Jason said
"I will, because my match is next. But one day you will accept your destiny." Giselle said, before starting to walk away.
"Yeah right." Jason said, before sitting down in a chair
"Oh and Jason, I have to warn you…" Giselle said. "Very soon, you'll meet a man who will try to bring you to Despair. You have to stop fighting the truth and start listening to those who will help you overcome your biggest demon."
"Biggest demon?" Jason questions as he looks in the mirror
"Detrick Cyrus." Giselle speaks, before stepping out the door, leaving Jason in a state of deep thought.
(In the Arena)
"What a opening contest to kick off tonight's action. We still got more though as Will Ralston will battle Jason Sabre in a Fight Without Honor match to determine the man who will join Azriel in the ACW World Championship finals at Glory Road." David said
"My sources are saying that no children should be allowed to watch what will happen.
Sin #24: But they need to learn what happens when you act like a dick for no good reason.
Will Ralston has made it public knowledge that he despises Nomad's such as Jason. But Jason Sabre happens to be best friends with Detrick Cyrus, who is well known as the Ultimate Hope." Evan said
"It's certainly an intense situation between those two and Detrick, who will be competing in a tournament match next week against Furno Moxley. But up next, we shift our focus to the ACW Womens Championship."
Things felt so perfect
Was it worth it?
People talk and they talk I'm so sick of it
I've made a monster
"Here comes Adela Harroway, who personally chose her opponent for tonights tournament by getting the pinfall in a eight women tag match, two weeks ago." David said
"But who did she choose?" Evan sets up
Sin #25: How do you not know?
"She chose Giselle. You know, a fellow member of Despair and Azriel's Queen." David said
"This is either a ruse or the boiling point of heat between these two women. I don't even know what's going on and I'm the smartest man in the world." Evan said
"Are you willing to take a IQ test to prove that?" David said
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
"Here comes Giselle and she looks like she's ready to tear into Adela." Evan said, ignoring David.
"Hmph. Anyways, it looks like this was bad blood and not a plan that Despair hatched up." David said
"Ring the bell, so we can see these two-"
Giselle asks for a microphone, causing Evan to thankfully shut his mouth. Giselle gets one in seconds as she looks at Adela.
"You win." Giselle said, before dropping the mic. Adela smiles as Giselle storms out of the ring and starts to walk up the ramp, not even making eye contact with Adela.
"Are you kidding me!? The match didn't even start and Giselle gave up." An outraged David ranted
"I knew it! Despair planned this all out. It was all a brillant plan by them to secure a spot in the Semi-Finals." Evan said.
"You didn't know anything! Hell, you don't even know how to tie your shoes!" David shouts
"Why do I need to know how to tie my shoes when I have people to do it for me?" Evan said
Sin #26: I-what-but...Goddammit.
"Shut up! This is bullshit!" David yells as the crowd boos Adela and the result of the 'match' out of the building.
"It doesn't matter. Adela Harroway has advanced and she will face Natalia Rodriguez in 3 weeks." Evan announces
(Hope HQ)
"How the hell can you two bend this way?!" CJ Hawk exclaims as he watches Natalia and Erin Frost sitting on a pair of yoga mats with their legs bent backwards over their head.
Sin #27: CJ Hawk watching girls in yoga pants doing yoga. If this wasn't ACW, this would be the beginning of a porn threesome.
"This is what the power of yoga can do for you." Erin said. "Feel the power of the Yoga Gods go through you, Natalia."
"I feel them. I really feel them." Natalia said, proudly.
"Yoga gods?!" CJ exclaims. "How are you buying any of this Natalia?"
"What do you mean?" Natalia says as she and Erin remove their legs from the back of their heads and get back up to a vertical base.
"There's no such thing as a Yoga God." CJ Said
"Yes there is. There's a god of everything. Even a god of the urine." Erin said
Sin #28: ...I don't even know what to say to this.
"Wow." Natalia said, absolutely amazed.
"This is ridiculous." CJ said
"Come on CJ, give it a try. I even bought you yoga pants for it." Natalia said, before holding up hot pink yoga pants.
"For the last time, I'm not putting those on. Also, I'm not into yoga. I'm a wrestler. All I do is wrestle." CJ explains.
Sin #29: Sure, why the hell not?
"I know, but last week didn't work out for you, so maybe yoga will help for next time." Natalia said
"No." CJ said, before Raptor Reigns barged through the door with a envelope. "Thank you for saving me."
"You have a letter." Raptor said.
Sin #30: Wait, so Furno's a Nomad but Raptor's a member of Hope? What about Ajax?
"Thank you Dinosaur man." Erin said, before snatching the envelope from his hands. But Raptor snatches it back.
"Not for you. It's for Natalia." Raptor said, before handing it to her.
"What could it be?" Natalia asked before opening the envelope and having Silver glitter explode out of it onto all four. CJ Hawk coughs, before spitting some out of his mouth.
Sin #31: Stardust! I mean, Goldust! I mean, Silverdust! … please don't tell me Angelica decided to takeover Cody's final WWE gimmick.
"That's digusting." CJ Said as Natalia then pulled out a nicely decorated letter.
"It's an invitation to a hotel room next week." Natalia said.
"You were invited to a hotel room? That sounds fishy to me." CJ said
"Or maybe it could lead you to falling in love with this stranger." Erin said.
"Don't encourage her to go." CJ said.
"Hm….they did send a nice invitation though." Natalia said
"That invitation nearly killed me with glitter." CJ said.
"But you lived. I say that you should always go with the flow and go to the hotel room next week." Erin said.
"Yeah you're right." Natalia said.
"No, she's wrong." Protested CJ. "You're going to lose your kidney or something."
"Hmm….CJ does bring up a good point. Who do I listen to?" Natalia said, before raising both hands slightly
"Erin."
She raises her right hand.
"...Or CJ"
She raises her left.
"Pick the left." CJ said
"But the right hand has to be right. I mean, right is in the name, right?" Erin said
"Oh wait! I know who to listen to." Natalia said
"Please tell me you're following my advice." CJ begs
"No, I'm not. I'm going to call Detrick!" Natalia said, before quickly leaving the room with a smile. CJ sighs
"Why do I even try?"
Sin #32: Because you're a wrestler?
(Ad Break)
(Hallway)
"No, Natalia." Detrick says into his phone. "You should never go and meet a stranger in a hotel room. Don't go anywhere next week, do you understand? Good. I don't want you getting hurt, Okay? Bye."
Sin #33: This sounds like the talk give to children about not taking candy from strangers. No, wait, this is that talk.
Detrick then hangs up.
"That girl is too much sometimes."
Then from behind, Detrick is caught by an arm around his throat. Detrick gasps for breath in the chokehold as he turns his head to see Furno Moxley behind him. Detrick quickly tries to run backwards into the wall, knocking Furno into it and causing him to lose his grip on Detrick. Detrick quickly tries to punch Furno, but stops when Nyx gets in the way. Detrick's fist is an inch away from her face.
"You wouldn't hit a girl, would you?" Nyx taunts. Detrick groans and puts his fist down
"Why the hell are you trying to jump me?" Detrick questions
"There's no honor among thieves. I saw an opportunity and I took it. I didn't count on you countering anything though." Furno said.
"Don't underestimate me." Detrick said.
Sin #34: Don't underestimate me cliche.
"I won't." Furno said. "But you ain't getting past me next week. I'm stealing this whole tournament and me and my girl are going to ride in ACW as champions."
"False." Came another voice. The three turned their attention to see Giselle walking down the hall.
"Look who it is. The girl who quit tonight." Nyx said
"Keep your lips shut, before I rip them off. My forfeit was for Despair's benefit. But I didn't decide to insert myself into your situation to explain my actions. It was to warn you three of what will happen. Only one of two men will enter the ACW World Championship match and win it. And it will be neither of you. It will be the King of Despair." Giselle said
"Two? But there's only one King of Despair." Detrick said
"And there always will be one king. But a King can be overthrown." Giselle foreshadows, before looking at the two men. "You two are fighting next week to see who fails at Glory Road. Let that sentence sink in. Your destinies have been decided already. The Destiny of a criminal does not end in a Championship victory. The Destiny of the Ultimate Hope will not result in one either. The only destiny for Furno Moxley is failure. And the only destiny for Detrick Cyrus is heartbreak."
"Failure?" Furno says, a little ticked off
"Heartbreak?" Detrick questions before seeing Furno's fist swing toward Giselle. Detrick quickly forgets the comment of Giselle and reaches out to stop Furno, but stops dead in his tracks and when he sees Giselle duck. Furno is caught off guard. Nyx tries to go after Giselle, but the Rose of Sin grabs the much taller woman by the throat.
"Don't even try it." Giselle said, before letting go. "I'll spare all of you today, but next time I will not be so kind."
Giselle then walks down the hallway as Detrick watches in awe. Furno and Nyx, look absolutely flabbergasted at what just happened.
"What is that woman?" Nyx said
"A demon in the form of a hot 5'5 chick." Furno said.
Sin #35: Even in ACW, Furno and Nyx chase after other people while simultaneously fucking each others brains out. And I know they're not actually married anymore, but, come on.
(In the arena)
"It is Main Event time in ACW and it will be a Fight without Honor match. There are No Dq's, No Count Out and No Ref Stoppages. Weapons are legal and the only way to win is by pin or submission, anywhere near the ringside area or in the ring." David explains
"This will be very violent and very entertaining for us to watch. I don't think the two wrestlers will be entertained though." Evan said.
I am a nation, I am a million faces
Formed together, made for elevation
I am a soldier, I won't surrender
Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers
(Who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?)
"I've never seen a member of Hope be hated so much." David said
"Will Ralston is very...very...very controversial. He wrote a book called the Lion's Cub which was number 227 in the Pakistan Times Best Sellers list. It was not popular among anyone." Evan said.
"What was it about?" David said
"Imagine a giving yourself a eight hundred blowjob, then ending it with you claiming that Hope couldn't survive without you, then following that with a copy and paste job of lyrics from a nu-Metal band." Evan explains
Sin #36: That's the most accurate description of that book I've ever heard, which is just sad.
Rain's falling down and just darkens the ground
A sound that I've heard before but I'm not sure
You keep me away from the place where you've been
But now I remember why you stay away from there
"This man looks absolutely pissed off." David notes
"Jason Sabre put on a technical classic against Freddy Escobar a couple weeks ago. This is not going to be that type of match. This is going to be violent. These two men have a strong distaste of each other." Evan said.
"I've heard that Will Ralston has a very low opinion of Jason Sabre, while Jason Sabre hates Will's high opinion of himself." David said
"You'd be correct and-"
For the second time tonight, Evan gets interrupted when Jason and Will Ralston begin to brawl. Jason hasn't even taken his jacket off as the bell rings. Both of their fist nails the other's skull. The slightly taller Ralston gets the edge for a few hits, before Sabre ducks and knee strikes Ralston's gut to bend him over. The Ace follows up by clubbing his back with a right hand and throwing him through the middle ropes to the outside floor. Will Ralston gets to his feet on the outside, but Jason Sabre is already running across the ring and dives over the middle rope with a Tope Suicida! Jason's head hits Will right in the gut and forces him to stumble back into the barricade. Will rests there for a little bit, before Jason Sabre runs toward him. Ralston sees him coming and back body drops him over the guardrail and the laps of the fans in the Staples Center. Will then climbs onto the barricade as Jason gets up, while fans around him depart. Will Ralston connects with a diving Axe Handle onto Jason off the Barricade.
Jason Sabre falls backwards and ends up sitting in a chair. Ralston stays on him with a barrage of punches. But Jason pushes him off and gets to his feet. Will lunges at Jason to punch him some more, but the Ace fights back, refusing to give in. The two brawl in the front row, trading shots to the head and body. Will Ralston throws a huge haymaker to swing momentum in his favor, but Jason quickly decides to ram Will Ralston back first into the guard rail. Jason then puts Will in a front facelock, before turning his back toward the barrier. Jason then hits a Release Vertical Suplex over the guard rail and onto the ringside floor, where Will Ralston now lays.
The Avenger writhes in pain as he holds onto his back, while Jason hops over the barricade. Jason picks him up and sends him straight into the steel steps. Will's pounds against them as Sabre stalks that man who has taunted and irritated him to no end. Will is seated against the steel steps, which causes Jason to get a sick idea. Jason backs up a few steps, before charging forward. Jason connects with a sharp knee… to the steel steps, because Will avoided it. Jason screams in agony as Will Ralston crawls away and reaches under the ring. Will then pulls himself up to his feet with a kendo stick in hand, gripping it tightly. Will then clutches it tightly as he whips Jason's leg with it, slamming it over his back twice. Will then follows that up with one last hard strike to the end to take Sabre down. Will drops the Kendo stick and begins to drag Jason's body toward the ramp. Once they reach the steel ramp, Will pulls him up to a vertical base, before dropping him back down with a Regal Cutter.
"Dear god, this might be it already for Sabre." Evan said as Will goes for the pin.

"It's going to take more than that for Will to escape this match." David comments
Will pulls Sabre up by his messy black hair, but is caught by surprise when the latter hits him with a European Uppercut. Ralston backs and Jason takes advantage with a Slingblade on the ramp. The Ace of Pro Wrestling then forces Ralston back to his feet by his long bangs. Jason hits a snap Suplex on the ramp, before floating over into a pin. Only getting a 2 count in the process, before cursing towards the ref. Jason picks Will up and drags him toward the ring, before hitting a forearm to the face, causing Will to stagger towards the steel post. Jason then runs up from behind and runs Will's entire body straight into the Guard Rail! Will falls to the floor and Jason delivers a couple stomps as he holds on to the top of the guard rail. Jason picks Will up and says 'You fucked up when you met me.' before delivering a headbutt straight to Ralston's head. He then slides him into the ring, before looking under the ring apron. Jason pulls out a lovely Black Steel chair as the crowd is blood thirsty and enjoying the beatdown of Will. Jason throws it inside, before looking underneath and pulling out another chair. Jason slides into the ring. But, unbeknownst to Jason Sabre, Will had grabbed the chair that Jason previously threw in. Before Jason can do anything with his chair, Will jabs him in the stomach with his. Will then gets up and swings his chair toward Jason, but Sabre fights fire with fire by swinging his chair. Both chairs hit each other and both men feel the vibrations and back up a step, before stepping forward and doing it again.
"We got a steel chair battle going on!" David said
"You can feel every ounce of hatred spilling between these two men." Evan said
The chair battle continues as both chairs clash again. Then again. And again. But during the last time, it becomes obvious that Will Ralston's hands can't handle the vibrations of two chairs smashing against each other anymore. Jason swings the chair again and this time, Will doesn't defend and takes a shot to the hip. Ralston falls to one knee, but quickly aims low, but low blowing Sabre! The crowd instantly boos the Hope member as Jason bends over, holding his precious privates. Will stands up, raises the chair over his head and slams it down onto Jason's back. Jason goes down to all fours and Will does the same thing, sending Sabre to the ground, rolling around in pain. Will throws the chair down at Sabre, before going for the pin.

Kick out at 2.29!
With a scowl on his Scottish face, Will mounts Jason Sabre and throws a few punches to the head. Ralston stands on his feet then grabs the chair, before placing it between the top and middle turnbuckles. Will Ralston sees Jason starting to get up and walks over to nail him with a right hand to the side of the face. Will then tries to Irish Whip Jason into the corner, but Jason purposely falls down to the mat and uses the momentum to send Will into the chair! Will dents the chair with his head. Jason Sabre grabs him from behind and pulls him out, before pushing him to the ring mat. Jason then pulls the dented chair out, before throwing it out of the ring, deciding it was useless. Jason leaves the ring and looks under the ring apron. He pulls something out that elicits a massive response from fans near him. It's a Barbed Wire Steel Chair!
"Remember when I said this would be a bloody good horror scene? I think we might see the bloody part come true right now." Evan said
Jason slides it into the ring, but doesn't stop. He pulls something else out from under the ring. It was a large wooden board that was covered in barbed wire! The crowd explodes with 'Holy Shit!" at the sight of the weapon. Jason slides it in, before rolling in himself and picking up the barbed wire chair with him as Will Ralston is getting up, dizzy and confused. Jason smacks him over the head with the barbed wire chair! Will Ralston falls back down to the ring mat. After a few seconds Ralston sits up, before his eyes pop in horror as he sees his own blood pour down his face. Jason enjoys the reaction before smashing the chair against the seated Will Ralston's head. The crowd is behind the blood of Ralston as Jason stands over Will Ralston's lifeless body. You can see some of Ralston's hair on the barbed wire chair. A loud "He Deserves It!" Chant explodes as the ever popular Jason Sabre grins at the chant. Jason then grabs the chair and purposely puts the barbed wire wrapped chair on Ralston's hair, making sure it gets stuck. Jason then puts one boot on Will's chest and flips him the bird, before pulling on the barbed wire chair and ripping the roots out of Ralston's head.
"Holy motherfuvking shit! Jason Sabre is One sick motherfucker!" David shouts as Will is in the ring convulsing from having a lot of his hair pulled from his roots. You can clearly see bloody begin to cover his scalp
"Look at the Despair in Will's eyes. Jason is enjoying every second of this sick and twisted moment. I know this crowd loves him, but he might be crossing into pure evil territory." Evan said
Jason lands one last barbed wire chair shot to the spine, before tossing it to the side. Will's back is carved up. Part of his hair is missing and replaced with blood. His face is covered in red. He is a mess as Jason Sabre pulls the large wooden board covered in barbed wire near the head of the lifeless Ralston. Jason drags him up by his head and signals for the Final Blow. He goes for his version of the Jumping Cutter/RKO, but Will surprises him when he leaps up, by catching him in a reverse facelock. Will drops Jason with a Reverse 1916 onto the Barbed Wire Board. You can hear females in the audience scream in horror as Jason's entire body (And jacket that he still has on) is stuck in barbed wire. Will then gets up, scowling at the nomad. He spits right in Sabre's face, before picking up the barbed wire chair and slamming it down onto Jason's face. You could hear the audience cringe as Jason begins to bleed while stuck against the barbed wire. Will does is again. And again. And again. The silver colored wire has been stained red from the back and head of Jason Sabre as his entire body is stuck.
"This is sick! These two sick fucks are going too far." David said
"This is a Fight without Honor. We should've known that this wouldn't be just some regular Hardcore match. These two men hate each other." Evan said
"This hatred is going too far. It isn't worth all this damage. All this blood. There's children and women crying and covering their eyes right now." David said
"I gave them the warning before the match. Now we're witnessing a bloody massacre of two men's bodies. This is gross. This is twisted. But there's nothing we can do. The ref is not allowed to stop the match, even if one of them dies in the ring." Evan states
Will Ralston then starts to slam the chair over the body of Jason Sabre, cutting holes into his jacket and cuts onto his arms and chest. Will then drops the chair and kicks it outside, before he yells 'I'm the hero. You're the scumbag'. He then spits in Jason's face again. Will then rolls Sabre off the barbed wire board and places it in the corner. Will looks at the bloody Jason getting to his feet. Jason finally takes off his jacket and tells Ralston to bring it, not backing down. Ralston charges at Sabre connects with a clothesline. Will falls to all fours as he connects, feeling the effects of the grueling match and the blood loss that comes with it. Will then drags Jason up by his arm and tries to irish whip him into the board. But Sabre stops his tracks and turns around to see Will running at him with a Spear. But Jason leaps in the air as Will gets close and comes down with a Double Foot Stomp to Will's back. Will falls flat on the mat, while Sabre collapses shortly after his feet touch the ground. The crowd give the two standing ovation for their effort.
"A-C-W! A-C-W! A-C-W!"
As the chants of the company are sung, the two bloody warriors lay in the ring. Neither moves much, but then Jason ends up rolling outside of the ring and falling to the floor. Jason gets on his knees and pulls on the apron, using it as leverage to get up. Meanwhile Ralston begins to stir as well, panting heavily.
"Both men are torn apart. Both are bleeding badly. Jason can hardly stand. Will Ralston is a bloody mess. Jesus Christ, how much longer can these two go? How much more will one have to endure, before the other one finally gives up in this war." David said
"You said it David. Even I'm speechless at what we're witnessing tonight." Evan said before noticing Jason grab something from under the ring. "What's that?"
It's a black bag! Jason pulled out a black bag from under the ring. Jason slowly rolls inside as Will groggily gets to his feet. Jason stares right at his opponent, before opening the bag and droppings multiple thumbtacks on the ring mat. The crowd cheers as they can sense the end approaching. Jason softly kicks them around, making sure they're all out like a blanket that will hurt you. Jason stands behind Will, waiting for him to turn around. Will finally turns around and Jason kicks him in the gut, before picking him up for the Sitout Tombstone Piledriver that he dubbed 'Hollow Point'. But Will shifts his weight toward the left side to get out of Jason's grip. Will then lightly pushes Jason Sabre back and connects with a Spear right onto the thumbtacks! Will lays on Jason's body.

"He kicked out! He kicked out! That tough motherfucker kicked out!" David shouts in disbelief
"You're cursing a lot, but I don't blame you. What the hell is it going to take? Tonight, there is no honor. But there is a lot of fight in both guys." Evan praised
Will stares up at the ceiling, breathing heavily and wondering what to do. Jason rolls away from the thumbtacks, although he has a lot of them attached to his back. Jason sits against the bottom turnbuckle. Hurt, bleeding and tired, just like Will. A booming "Let's Go Sabre!" chant takes over as Will sits up and looks at the audience, realizing that they've made their choice. He just rolls his eyes and slowly gets to his feet, while Sabre gets up near the turnbuckles. Will looks over and notices the wooden board made of barbed wire and walks over to grab it. Will then charge at Jason with the wooden board in hand. The barbed wire faced Jason. Will rams it straight into Jason's body. Will backs up and throws the board to the outside as Jason falls to the ring mat in a heat, as the stains of blood dry around him. Will turns him over onto his back, before ascending to the top turnbuckle. Will can barely stand straight as his legs are jello at this point. However, he finds his balance for two seconds and jumps off with a Corkscrew Dive, but Jason Sabre rolls out of the way. Will crashes and Jason slowly crawls over, desperately going for the pin.

Jason sits up, not even wanting to argue at this point. Instead he rolls out of the ring and looks underneath it again. This time, Jason pulls out a table. The crowd pops at the site as Sabre slides it in, before looking under the ring again. Jason then pulls out a ladder. Jason puts the ladder on the ring apron, only for Will Ralston to baseball slide it into his face. Will notices the table in the ring and sets it up as Jason uses the ring apron to get up. Will drags Jason by the hair and slaps him across the face. Jason fires back with a headbutt, but Ralston fires back with a jumping knee to the chin, causing him to collapse. The Avenger then picks the Ace up and places him onto the table, before climbing up to the top again. Ralston then dives off one more time with a Corkscrew Splash, but Jason kips up while on the table and catches Will Ralston with a Final Blow through it! The crowd explodes as both commentators stand up
"Lord have mercy on their souls!" David said
"What did we just see!" Evan said as Jason uses any remaining power to turn Will over and pin him

Sin #30: 6 sins off for ACW's best match so far.
"Yes it is! Jason Sabre is going to Glory Road!" David said
"What did we just witness?" Evan said
"That was a Fight without Honor. That was a disgusting display of what humans can do to each other. Give both men credit for they did tonight." David said
"I've never seen something like this in my life. Azriel may look like a monster, but Jason Sabre has the heart of a demon." Evan said
Sin #31: Is everyone in ACW obsessed with demons or something. Jesus, just go watch The Exorcist on repeat.
"Neither men are standing as the medical team has arrived to help. Thank you for joining us. See you next week." David said "God damn, what a fight!"
(Azriels Throne Room)
"You want me to get this Casey Harris guy for you." a Ripped Caucasian Male with long unkempt brown hair, thick beard and multiple burn marks said.
"Yes, Brutus. I demand it." Azriel said.
"I don't take orders from anyone." Brutus said as the 6'10 man goes nose to nose with the 7 foot Azriel.
"Know your role, before I make you learn what your role is." Azriel said. "Bring me his body."
"Only on one condition." Brutus Said "When you win the ACW World Championship, I get the first shot.
"Is that all you want? A chance to be a victim against me. I'll grant you, your wish, if you bring me Casey Harris." Azriel said, getting Brutus to grin.
"It's a deal and I will not be a victim." Brutus said, before offering his hand. Azriel looks at it, before uppercutting him and wrapping his hand around his throat. Azriel pulls him closer.
"If you and I meet for the ACW World Championship, I will make you a victim. If you do not bring Casey Harris, I will make you a victim. If you overstep your bounds again, I will make sure that you are a victim." Azriel threatens before letting go of his throat. "Do your job and I'll give you what you want."
Brutus looks angrily at Azriel while rubbing his throat.
Ash Russo is seen watching Jason Sabre and Will Ralston lay in the ring as the crowd give them a standing ovation after the match. Roman, Lacey and Jasper were near him as he watches both men. He then turns his head toward Jasper.
"Next week?" Ash asked
"Yes." Jasper said, making Ash smile.
"Now, Anarchy will Reign." Ash said
