Alamo Championship Wrestling: Rebirth!
May 1st, 2010

ACW's return is finally here, more than a year after it's last live event
the little regional that could is finally back on the scene. A lot of
reasons have been thrown around for ACW dissapearing for so long; the
career resurgence of owners Tom Landis and Tara Marshall for starters;
the sale of the UWF to Kyle Lee from the Scott Corporation throwing the
entire organization into chaos; a rumored takeover by the nearby AWA that
didn't end up taking place; even the economy played a part. But whatever
the reason, ACW is finally at long last back. Flyers blanketed the
greater San Antonio area for the last couple of months promising the
return, and we got a great turnout all things considered.

The Municipal Auditorium, nicknamed ACW Arena by the promotion's faithful
fans, was around 800 people strong for tonight's return show.
"Hellraiser" Tom Landis came out before the show officially began, as
he's known to do. The owner of ACW apologized for the long delay between
cards, joking that the city would never let him run the Rose Palace again
if it means a year between events. He promised that Alamo Championship
Wrestling would continue to bring the best young talent in wrestling to
Texas, and finished off with ACW's slogan, promising "You WILL remember
the Alamo."

At that point the lights went out, and the ACWTron (nowhere near as
glamourous as it sounds, basically a couple of projector screens) came to
life with a video montage of past ACW action. In fact, I think it was
mostly the same history montage that they showed back at the Big Event,
but updated with some footage of that night as well, set to "White Hot"
by Tom Cochrane and Red Rider. Sort of a primer for any new fans as well
as a refresher for everyone else (Jerry Titus was in ACW?!?) who came
out.

"I Want It All" by Queen started up and out from the back came
"Hollywood" Cody Jones and the Players Club. Lots of boos from the
audience, some of who hate the guy for what he's done and others simply
for hogging the spotlight so much. Jones got on the mic and started
griping about the loss of the Southwest Heavyweight Championship at Gold
Rush 2009 to James St. George and how it shouldn't have counted because
it didn't happen in San Antonio, it happened in Detroit. St. George
interrupted the bitchfest to a lot of love from the crowd, and rubbed
Cody's face in in the fact that he's now an ex-champion. Jones demanded
a title shot here and tonight, which led to a lot of groans from the
audience, but the champ shot him down and said he wanted some fresh
competition instead. At this point the three members of the Players Club
tried to advance on St. George, but help arrived quickly in the form of
Adam "The Dragon" Drake and Southwest Tag Team Champions Jamie Kidd and
"Overkill" Joey Malone. As the fan favorites cleared the ring, Landis
re-emerged and quickly announced that tonight it'd be the Players Club
against the tag champs and Drake, while James St. George would face
Cornelius Gore for the heavyweight title.

Zero-G came out for the first match on the night, the plucky young
highflyer garnering a loud pop from the crowd. His opponent, Genya
Okutsu arrived minus his wife, who famously walked off on both Genya and
Johnny Sunshine way back at the Big Event. Genya, ever the braggart,
told his opponent to go back to the locker rooms or suffer the greatest
defeat of his career. Zero-G then proceeded to beat the loudmouth at his
own game, countering the top rope brainbuster suplex with a sunset flip
superbomb and gaining the upset win over the former Southwest Champion.

Up next was a double tag team debut, as Mark II took on the Gunslingers.
The Gunslingers were dressed in standard cowboy ring gear, stetsons and
bullwhips included and were a bruising and brawling team. Their
opponents, who gained a little bit of fame with a cameo in PVW not that
long ago, were Mark Carney and Mark Workman. It was a decent tag match
with lots of brawling, as the 'Slingers don't seem to know how to do much
else but at least they do it well enough. Workman was more of the high
energy guy, whereas Carney seemed more laidback and happy to trade
punches. After about ten minutes or so of back and forth action, finally
the Beckbreaker came to ACW, as Mark II were victorious over the
Gunslingers when Workman pinned Tex Thomas after the neckbreaker-
backbreaker combination. The fans gave the Marks a good reception, and
in return Workman and Carney seemed genuinely surprised by it.

Another debut came next, as Johnny Sunshine battled a competitor by the
name of Danny Holden. And when I say competitor, that's exactly what
Holden was. He came out without music of any sort, wore basic black
shorts and wrestling boots, and no fanfare of any sort. But when the
bell rang, Holden unleashed a deadly accurate wrestling repetoire on
Sunshine. Holden picked Sunshine apart with legwhips and takedowns,
battered him incessantly with knee strikes and then started to fold him
up with three straight overhead suplexes. Sunshine stopped his momentum
once by ducking a superkick and spearing Holden to the mat, but it was a
shortlived break thanks to Holden countering a bulldog with a hammerlock
slam. After working the arm for a few minutes finally he locked on a
cross armbar submission hold that instantly had Sunshine screaming in
pain and tapping out. As soon as the match was done Holden raised his
hand in victory and walked out, not even waiting for the decision by the
ring announcer.

A women's tag match was the final match before intermission, as the teams
of Skull N' Bones and Lightning Quick came to the ring. Then came "Main
Event" Megan Affleck, late of We 4 Girls, promising a special tag team
partner for the night. And in a real surprise, "Force Ten" hit as MBC
competitor Taylor MacKenzie came out to a huge pop! The crowd was
dazzled by a fastpaced match by all three teams, with several quick tags
all around. Affleck and MacKenzie were able to hang with the other
tandems despite this being their first match together, and wrestled a
more technical style than their highflying opponents. The end of the
match came when Taylor rolled away from a 450 splash from Rachel "Arcee"
Carlisle, and a lung blower from Affleck followed by the Savage Grace by
Taylor. Following the match all three teams shook hands to a loud round
of applause by the crowd.

Keith Marshall came to the ring just before intermission, announcing that
ACW's weekly television show was coming back next week as well, redubbed
ACW TV instead of Overload. And because Sam Steeley returned to the UWF
and was unavailable to return as the color commentator, Keith brought out
his new partner for the show, Rhett Connors. I'm not sure what to make
of Connors at this point, he seemed well spoken enough and judging by his
size probably has some experience in the ring. Connors introduced
himself, and apparently uses "Retcon" as a nickname. I take it back...
this guy could be fun.

"Wild Animal" Sarah Mayson strutted down to the ring with the Southwest
Women's Championship over her shoulder and proclaimed herself the
greatest woman to ever wrestle in San Antonio. Moments later, the
hometown girl herself Rosalee Perez emerged from the back to take offense
to that statement, and began to throttle the champion to the delight of
the crowd. Perez locked on an octopus stretch hold as Mayson screamed in
pain, until Jayde Griffen ran in for the save, attacking Perez and DDTing
her into the mat. Unfortunately for Mayson, her alliance with Jayde was
coming to an end as in from the other side of the ring slid "Spitfire"
Kyra Braddock, who spun Mayson around and dropped HER with a DDT as well.
Braddock and Griffen grabbed the Southwest Women's Title and each held up
an end, posing for the hostile crowd before leaving their victims
unconscious.

In the second surprise appearance of the night, Damien "The Omen"
Williams answered an open challenge from "Highspot" Heath Chambers after
the MWA insurgent demanded one of the "inferior ACW a-holes" come out to
face him. Omen caught him early with some neckbreakingly fast maneuvers,
but the tide turned after Heath broke out the Best. Rana. Ever~!
complete with cocky pose and attempted pinfall. But the attitude wound
up biting him in the ass as a short time later Chambers went for the
First Class Ticket DDT and the Omen impressively was able to hit a
rolling legsweep out of the move and without breaking his grasp struck
hard and fast with the Mark of the Beast, his devastating curb stomp for
the pinfall.

The six man tag match came up next, with Cody Jones leading No Fat Chicks
out to the ring to a shower of boos. The energetic trio of Joey Malone,
Jamie Kidd and Adam Drake were out next and cleared the ring quickly of
the PC, then added insult to injury with a simultaneous triple plancha
out to three sides of the floor. Kidd and Malone combined for a wicked
stacked superplex all the way to the floor to take Reno out of the match,
but as the Dragon battled Romeo Richards in the aisleway Jones took
advantage of the referee's lack of attention, blasted Kidd in the face
with his own tag title belt and pinned him in the middle of the ring.
After the match Cody's celebration was cut off by Quinn Murray jumping
out of the crowd and trying to lay him out. NFC managed to hold Murray
and his fellow MWA insurgent at bay as Jones got on the microphone again
(does this guy ever shut up?) and addressed Murray, calling him a loser
for continuing to carry the banner for a "stillborn company that died
almost two years ago". He then told Murray that even though people might
not like him, he's still the heart and soul of ACW and "we're gonna
finish this once and for all. In about a month and a half, ACW's fourth
anniversary show is coming up. You pick four partners, I'll pick four
partners. CAGE... OF... DEATH." Murray quickly accepted the challenge,
and then headed out through the crowd with Tyler Mason right behind him.
The crowd kept booing Jones, however until he and the Players Club left.

And then James St. George and Cornelius Gore tore down the house in the
main event, as the barefoot madman tried to take the new champion apart
in a wild brawl. Gore attacked his opponent during James' prematch
ritual of crossing himself before stepping into the ring, trying to stomp
him out on the floor and laying in with vicious kicks to the upper chest.
St. George regained the advantage by sidestepping a Rusty Knife kick and
went to work on Gore's back with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker before
utilizing his strength and tossing the much smaller opponent around. A
lariat set up for the Templar's Spear in the end, as St. George
dispatched Gore for the three count. After the show, the ACW Champion
posed for pictures and signed autographs for a happy crowd.

the Beckbreaker came to ACW, as Mark II were victorious over the
Gunslingers when Workman pinned Tex Thomas after the neckbreaker-
backbreaker combination.

It is now a legal entrant for Maneuver Of The Half-Year/Year.


Just sayin'. :evil:

NFC were in RCW for like a month back in 2005. I'm going to go with the theory they're on drugs and no one wants to take a chance on them.

As long as it's not Viagra, the gimmick still stands.

... although Richards losing his mojo might be amusing. Mike, book it.

I've known all this time... It just dawned on me how in the real world, no team would be left in developmental that long. Someone would have cut the strings long ago. Poor guys though... To go from being Pride Associates on the main roster to years in development... I wonder if they still dream of getting the call up?

Now I think you're just mocking me.

And I like to think of NFC like Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. Popular, but nobody you'd ever put the titles on at this point.

Right TNA?
