ACH vs Robert Evans for the U30 title would be good to see.

Good show from pre-show to main event. I agree with the assessment of the Spiro/Masada match. I also was awed by the Summers/Castagnoli match. I too would love to see ACH continue to climb the ladder. Angel Blue continues to impress. No wrestler on the roster has improved more from their first ACW match to present. Rachel vs. Sara blew me away.
I am sure there are a couple of people who are very sore this morning.

Throwing in my 2 cents, the quality of the matches was excellent from top to bottom. Having 3 refs working, I was able to watch several of the matches that I wasn't working, and was thoroughly impressed with all that I saw. Masada and Spiro takes match of the night IMHO, and Rachel and Sara did great as well. And Palmer's dive from the wall was the "holy shit" spot of the evening.
I also sensed that the fans appreciated the quick pace of moving through the card that was kept up throughout the evening with no dead time in between matches.

Spiro/Masada was great on many levels; it had a depth to it that not many matches possess, like when they were in what many might call "rest holds" (headlocks, etc.), the physicality and drama was intense. I've only been watching ACW since the Joshi tournament, but I'll go so far as to say Spiro/Masada was the best match I've seen so far in ACW, and the best match I've seen anywhere, for a long time. I say "Match Of The Year", and it's unlikely I'll change that view much. r k

Rachel vs. Sara blew me away. I am sure there are a couple of people who are very sore this morning. Angel Blue is a very good and confident performer, especially for someone so young. I like the idea of Claudia being a monster heel. Took some getting used to, but it was great seeing her stepping up like she did last night; I think she's very close to the point I predicted where she will surprise the audience with her ability. Lady Poison is turning into a much stronger character with each show too (wasn't completely sold on her at first). That wrestler named "Wolf" in the opener performed well too; big improvement over last time. Hope he continues appearing. r k

As I watched him this time I thought ACH would make a great U30 champion.
He may need to tone down the theatrics just a little bit, though.

Garza has the belt, and HE'S going to issue a challenge for it? That IS badass. I dig Garza. Wonder who'll step up? r k Apparantly, you aren't aware of the lesson everyone has learned in ACW: Never issue an open challenge in ACW. Yep...I told you so... And I really enjoyed seeing the skank get killed too. Remember: Star spelled backwards is Rats. I'm really looking forward to Masada vs. Jacobs....especially now that Masada holds the hardcore gold.

The Masada vs Spiro match was exactly what "Texas Style" is all about. alot of places toss around the term Strong Style in reference to 92' all japan but if you look at the history that style was born from those guys watching texas guys in Japan, Funks, Brody, Abby. all using the Dallas territory Texas Style.
Its a Style alot of guys on the ACW roster respect and are bringing back, Showtime, Masada, Lamotta,Vexx, Darin and im sure im missing afew others.

The other stuff is cool and has its place but man, it's been YEARS since I've seen a match like that. I haven't been a Masada fan up to now, but he earned respect with that one. r k

Not to sound callous, but Erin stepped into the ring.
From talking to her after the show, I would say she'll back soon, She's tougher than she looks.

That's what I'm sayin'; You gotta LOVE a girl who'll jump in for her man like that. And against a guy like Masada? In the kind of mood HE was in?!? Say what ya'll want, but much respect here. r k

Must mention also - Great respect for Claudio Castagnoli, hope he comes again.
I like Scot Summers, but I always like rooting for heels. Castagnoli was a fun heel to cheer for. I'm thinking of trying some of that at work: "No, no, no; It must be CLEAN! Please, get a towel, clean this up or I cannot work." ;D
HOPE HE COMES BACK!
