The Pinnacle Showcase

July 2, 2011
Crossroads has always been the "Pinnacle Showcase" of American Championship Entertainment. Ever since the first show in 2004, so many memories have been made and a lot of big names have participated on this spectacular event. And at Crossroads VII, it will be no different.
The list of names that have wrestled at previous Crossroads shows have been unprecedented. Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt, Alex Shelley, Rhino, Kenny Omega and Raven have wrestled and shined on the grandest stage in all 3 installments of the ACE Arena. However, one name in particular is actually making his debut at a Crossroads this year on July 9. A man who personifies himself with ACE, Jay Lethal, will be making his debut at "the Pinnacle Showcase" in a match against "the Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer, who was successful in last year's Crossroads in the match "10 Years in the Making" against Raven. To finally see Lethal at Crossroads is indeed an honor and a privilege to see on July 9th.
Furthermore, some impressive moments have taken place at Crossroads past. At the 4th Crossroads back in 2008, the company ventured out for the first time ever to the Soccer Domain in Montclair, NJ, where the fans saw former WWE Superstar Scotty 2 Hotty perform the Worm to the fans delight, as well as "Hollywood" Joe Hardway becoming a two-time ACE Heavyweight champion by defeating Mo Sexton and Rhino in a 3-way match. At the 3rd Crossroads, Mike Morgan lost control of his company in 2007 when Envy lost the ACE Heavyweight championship to Hollywood Inc.'s hired gun, Alex Shelley. Hell, at the 6th Crossroads, the Midnight Sensations and R8D X tore down the house in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. So many awesome matches and moments at Crossroads past, but this year's show will be unprecedented, to say the very least.
For the first time in ACE history, a Steel Cage will invade the ACE Arena, as Danny Maff will defend the ACE Heavyweight championship against the number 1 contender Jorge Luis Rivera. Also, Middle Village Wrestling, ACE's sister promotion, will have some of their talents participate on the card. Furthermore, there is a bit of independent flavor on the card, as Tony Nese, Bobby Fish, and former Diamond Division champion Eddie Kingston will be making their Crossroads debuts, while the ACE Tag Team champions D.R.S, the Midnight Sensations, ACE Diamond Division champion Stockade, and "the Good Guy" Azrieal will be looking to stake their claim deeper in the company with important performances. Needless to say, ACE will bring the "A-game" on July 9th.
Folks, July 9th at the ACE Arena will be a huge show. Crossroads VII is coming to make an impact on the independent scene. The "best kept secret" will be unleashed at the state-of-the-art ACE Arena in Union City. "The Pinnacle Showcase" Crossroads VII is going to be awesome. See you on the 9th.
