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. |

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. |

And that was me. [/QUOTE] 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? |
