A little more national respect in terms of acknowledgement that ACW is far and away the best thing going in this part of the country and is totally rebuilding that part of Texas Wrestling that was broken by people who kept trying to live in the past.
Oh, and a pet monkey that our trainees can take care of, like in Dragon Gate.

Oh, and a pet monkey that our trainees can take care of, like in Dragon Gate. At the first part, a great goal. I agree and if there is something the fans can do to help I am sure we will. Not sure how to help with a national respect but...
A monkey huh? Thats seems eaiser.

Hoping to see in 2010? Mercedes Martinez vs Rachel Summerlyn.
Lady Poison becoming a major dominating force in the promotion.
I wouldn't be upset if Sarita from TNA made an appearance or two.
Perez & Matthews.

The end of the bullshit drama that goes on. And MORE shows in San Antonio The drama is dead in ACW, and has been for a long time. The only battle we choose to fight is the battle to get better every event. as far as the other companies fighting at a breakneck pace, I sadly doubt that will ever end. it is really sad to watch the way these companies deface indy wrestling, it is what is it; The Cartoon world of pro wrestling. look at TNA/WWE & ROH/DGUSA & Evolve/JAPW, it exists on every level. I promise to do my part to continue to run ACW as drama free as possible.

Dingo, Problems, and of course, Rexx Reed's return to Austin

Dingo, Problems, and of course, Rexx Reed's return to Austin Its been a long week and there is no need to pussy foot around topics, soooo....Back stories and truthful answers on returns/debuts: Mercedes Martinez is always a possibility, her career and personal life makes scheduling a bit tricky, we are definitely trying. Sarita/Sarah Stock is a TNA talent and TNA is not a fun company to deal with so I try not to. not out of the question by any stretch of the imagination as she is one of the ACW office's favorite wrestlers to watch. Julio Garza popped up on the MB earlier today, he hasn't been seen or heard from since his brother forced him out of ACW on May 17th, 2009 and he isn't allowed reentry into the company until May 17th, 2010. Portia Perez will be back on April 18th, 2010. Portia Perez will always be the first American (Canadian) Joshi Champion in ACW history, she is a HUGE part of ACW's legacy. No return date has been signed for Nicole Matthews, but it is inevitable. Dingo retired and threw his student Davey Vega under the bus by saying Davey Vega broke Dingo's neck causing the retirement when EVERYONE including Dingo knew he hurt himself and the neck was never broken (it was a minor stinger), just used as a tool to get sympathy (and used as a fundraiser), which is a dick thing to do. as odd as Davey Vega is, he didn't deserve that. If Dingo returns to the business (not likely) with a clear head than we will cross that bridge when/if we get there. never say never in Dingo's case (at least from our end). Problems has a broken arm and will return when he's ready, he he wants to. Rexx Reed's personal demons and unethical choices have essentially guaranteed that he will never return to ACW. We have to protect our locker room from some of the darker sides of the industry. Anarchy is respected lack of personal responsibility is not.

Thank you for the update, seems while in many ways, wrestling is hotter then ever and its great to be a fan, it seems lots of wrestlers are having problems. Sad to hear, with the "E" cutting several FCW guys and Booker taking gigs through his agent as he burned bridges at both "E" and TNA some are having trouble.
Sorry to hear about what happened to Vega, pretty crappy but its good to hear you are looking out for your ACW family with the Rexx thing.

Booker T in ACW... no Sharmell though. Maybe an appearance by a retired veteran. Oh yeah and more matches where Darin almost kills himself. If you havent seen the flaming hoodie senton splash, check out the Best of Darin Childs vol. 3. Not the smartest move but I respect the balls it took to do it. Darin is our Paul Heyman and our New Jack, so start showin some respect.

Thanks for the update Darin - It's good to know efforts are being made for Mercedes coming in, as I think she'd fit into the ACW style in a big, big way.
As for TNA - I can understand not going overboard with a big corporate like them to get the male talent, as ACW has plenty of that already and there's plenty more on the circuit to choose from who need opportunities as well...but when it comes to the ladies TNA has lots of great women and seems to be scooping them up as they go. Since they seem to have a more liberal attitude about their people working indies than WWE I would encourage ACW to hold our nose, at least when it comes to bringing in some of the ladies. For all its faults TNA is doing the best job of the "big two": when it comes to the women, but ACW is doing even BETTER. We really need more influx of talent though. And Sarah/Sarita would bring an ACW house DOWN!
As for Darin being New Jack/Heyman - Darin is definitely like a Paul Heyman; I remember being at early ECW shows in Fla when Paul would come out and address the crowd. I'm not going so far as New Jack though....I think Shawn Vexx is well on his way to taking that role.
And as for respect - What fun is it if you can't bash the boss? We used to do that to Heyman too, and so whenever Darin's in the ring I'll probably be cheering "the other guy" to do dastardly things, and booing the hell out of Darin. It was GREAT fun doing that last Sunday. In wrestling that IS respect.

Darin is our Paul Heyman and our New Jack, so start showin some respect. If Booker is totally out of the big corporate scene and is fully engaged in running his own school and indy, I wonder if it would be indeed possible to work a deal of using some of his students, with him making appearances as well? Darin?
Booker T might be fun and would help raise interest, but I would caution folks on wishing too much for "big national stars" like that to come. Oftentimes those guys bring the same match they wrestled on Pay Per View, and it's not always what you want at one of these shows.
But sometimes, and for a once in a while thing. And if they're willing to play ball...
I could see a really cool (nontitle) match with Booker and Shawn Vexx happening. Lots of possibilites there.

If any modern wrestler is a symbol of coming up through the ranks of post-80's Texas wrestling it's definitely him.

By the way Biss, I really liked your comments about Gordon Solie on the interview posted by another board member.
When I was a kid in middle school I "job-shadowed" Gordon for a day. I got red carpet treatment at the Tampa studio they taped at, and got to interview Gordon on tape (long since lost, unfortunately). I even got to meet Barbara Clary!
He was a great guy, and a great figure in professional wrestling. I'll never forget that day when as a kid I took a shot in the dark calling the number that came onscreen at the end of the CWF show and telling whoever answered what I wanted to do ("O.K., we'll let Gordon know.").
Then about an hour later the phone rings - It's Gordon himself, asking for this kid by name, and: "When do you want to do this?"
Man, wrestling was great in those days!

Vexx is definately alot like New Jack.
I agree booing a heel is showing respect but come on, dont say Darin cant wrestle. Not that you said it but there was a short lived "you cant wrestle" chant towards Darin on Sunday. I boo the hell outta "One Nut" Mike Dell, but I never once say he cant wrestle.

No, I wouldn't say Darin can't wrestle but even if some did...it's wrestling; let them chant. It's not something I remember, with all that happened on Sunday. Even though I booed on Darin I will point out that he's obviously dropped some weight and looked in good shape Sunday.
New Jack was more than a guy who took crazy bumps. New Jack was about embodying every frustration that anyone who ever gave their all but never got their due and wasn't "o.k." with it ever felt; the anger and despair of that. New Jack was a guy who was never the boss.
Darin's a boss; Darin can't be New Jack. Shawn Vexx is on his way there, even if he never took that dive off the balcony.

There are very few things that a fan can say to a wrestler that "cross the line." Chanting "you can't wrestle" to anyone is rather tame compared to some things I have heard or even yelled out myself.
The two or three areas that I tend to get a little upset about are: * Comments that break the suspension of disbelief - Yelling out a wrestler's real name or pointing out things the fans are not supposed to see. * Comments that are more designed to draw attention to the fan than the wrestler - A fan at another show brings a megaphone so he can be "part of the show" * Behavior that clearly upsets the other fans such as excessive obscenity or ruining a good women's match by becoming too sexist.
In each of these cases there is a fine line that will sometimes get crossed. Since I have been allowed to take one small step behind the scenes, I have learned that most of the wrestlers do not get nearly as upset as I do at transgressions. And lets face it, some shows and some matches deserve to have the crowd show a little criticism. In general though, if the fans intention is to have a good time, they probably aren't crossing the line assuming they realize that at any show, The fans are part of the Event, but not part of the Show.
Ok, I'm off my soap box.

When I missed Summers hot-tagging Lynn, or vice versa, can't recall, I heard some lady repeatedly saying that someone needed to kill me, and she hated my f'ing guts. Took it as a compliment more-so than her crossing the line on saying anything out-of-line! Thank you ma'am!

Ok, I'm off my soap box. Fair enough, the megaphone one sorta surpises me,thats going a bit far. I have not yet had anyone near me complain about obsessive cursing or sexisism so I don't know if thats a huge problem or not.
Drawing more attention to yourself seems to be a big issue at ATX shows...with that crowd thats always on the wooden stage..lol. Well thats not fully fair, there is one or two guys that are really REALLY bad about it, the rest are just having fun it would seem.
