Yay for an ownership change....
I kept Mainer's "Impact Meter" name though!
So yeah. I dont really know how I'm going to do this. For now, Im doing it the way I used to. I may or may not add graphics and stuff, IF you guys say you want it.
I decided to first try a monthly format...why?
Pros: More weight to the list...positions count more.
Cons: Harder to do, and less frequent lists.
I really never got opinions on how much you guys wanted it...so Im going to ask again. Right now, Im thinking maybe Im gonna try a monthly, then a bi-monthly, then a weekly, and then another poll? I dunno...but AS FOR NOW, here is the ACW Power 10...er...Impact Meter from the beginning to the end of this month.
Read/Respond plzkthx
I also rushed these descriptions and didnt proofread <_<
10. Jonny Hughes
Starting off our list, is a man who we won’t be seeing again in ACW apparently. While losing his match at Emperor of the Ring, and only defeating Bryce this month, Hughes did have a big presence which saves him. It’s too bad we won’t be seeing him, because he was really starting to make a bit of an impact this month. After NUE broke up, it seemed Hughes would be ready to rise up the ranks. Jake Steele felt his wrath numerous times this month, but alas, in the end, he was unable to pull it off where it counted. His success out of the ring is what puts him above potential candidates for the list such as Train, and secures him at least a spot on the list.
9. Mr. Red
Another man we won’t be seeing again…(God rest his soul). However, unlike other wrestling companies, death does not instantly elevate you to honors you otherwise wouldn’t have received, and Mrs. Red is not going to become the co-chairman. No, Red still gets the same spot he would have gotten while alive, which in this case, is number 9. Now Red started the month out suspended, but his altercations with Wayde Russeler…(Rusller?) managed to get him his job back. He certainly made an impact on the Entertainment Champion, and was able to defeat him in a street fight, as well as take him out a couple of times. However…when it counted, like Hughes, Red did not pull it off. Surely an Entertainment Title win may have moved him up a spot, maybe even two. As for now, however, he takes nine.
8. Wayde Russler/Russeler
And number 8, is our current Entertainment Champion…I think…since he seems to have quit or something. Either way, the breakup of the New Upper Echelon may have had the best effects on this man. Now he may be able to come into his own, and surely this month helped that. He had an overall very strong month, defending his title two times, although he had trouble with Red. He may not have qualified for EOTR, but now he has another year to really show us what he may be capable of. This month he really shined more than any other, and he secures a spot at number 8…however, a lackluster win/loss does not allow him to ascend higher.
7. Jake Steele
Although he secured the number 7 spot on the list, Jake Steele personally didn’t have the best month. After being taken out numerous times by Jonny Hughes, something seems to have snapped within him. Is this new Jake Steele going to hinder or help him rise up in the company? That remains to be seen. Hughes cost him his shot at EOTR, but he more than made up for it in an absolutely BRUTAL barbed wire brutality match at the PPV, in which Jake Steele managed to end Hughes’s career once and for all. That’s quite the accomplishment, and that manages to get him a spot on the list, despite…like Wayde, a relatively lackluster win/loss record
6. Dan White
Dan being at this spot may come off as a bit of a surprise, being that he did indeed end up as an EOTR finalist. The reason, however, that that didn’t get him higher, is because all and all, this list is made from the whole month…and over the whole month, Dan’s presence was severely lacking. Only towards the middle did we start to see his face…and although he had a big win over Thunderkiss, it could be said that he had one of the easier EOTR paths to conquer. It is not to be said that he has a bad spot…the top 6 on this list all had amazing months…in fact, Dan managed to defeat XS3 at the PPV, not an easy feat at all. Dan certainly had a GOOD month, but as is the problem sometimes, he is eclipsed by people with even better ones. Now that he appears to be sticking around however, maybe next month he can have a bit of a stronger showing, and we’ll get to see the impact of the man who declares himself the “Real ACW world champion.”
5. Henry McKaye
The top 5 starts with the man who, while he did not make the finals of EOTR, certainly was one of the favorites for it. Getting thrown against Jay Zero in the semi finals was what ended him, though in the month before, he had had a very good record, having a 4 win, 1 loss streak. He also this month managed, at the end of the day, to pin two ACW legends in Kudo and the Senator (albeit the latter off of Starkweather’s move). Certainly McKaye has a bright future ahead of him in this company, and maybe OCW will help give him the success he needs. One has to wonder though, how long OCW can give him what he needs, and when it might be time to part ways and try his luck by himself. By this time next year, this man may very well be a main eventer, and I’m sure that he isn’t going to let Zero’s win against him go unpunished.
4. XS3
XS3 may not have made the finals of EOTR, but he was extremely close. In fact, Dan vs XS3 may have been one of the hardest matches to predict of the tournament. The point with XS3 may not have been the win/loss record himself, but the showing he had against strong opponents. He defeated Dan earlier in the month, but unfortunately was unable to do it where it counts. In the middle of the month, he really had the match that secured his position on this list. After accepting BK London’s title challenge, he managed to Shadow Step him not once, but twice that night. Then he went on the next show to have an amazingly close match with the champion…in which, while he lost, he certainly won. He gained a lot of respect that some people might not have given him before, and a great showing this month puts him into number 4
3. Scott Andrews
By far the hardest decision this month was the placing of BK and Scott. Scott had probably the best month of his life. While he has had a title shot before against Chance Emmerson, that was over a year ago, and this was his first shot in a LONG time. He won the Seven Deadly Sins #1 contenders match to get it and he finally picked the place and time. Most people wondered whether Scott could prove himself on equal footing with BK London, but by god, he did. He stood up to all of Russo’s challenges, he had BK’s number on MORE than one occasion…he almost pinned him in their non-title match, and he headshott’d him more than once. Unfortunately, when push came to shove, at the end of the month, he was not the ACW champion. Despite his amazing showing, BK London managed to survive yet again, and that puts him on top…
2. BK London
It’s an arguable decision, but BK won the match. He survived against XS3, and he survived against Scott. No matter who has his number, and how close they come…he always prevails, and once again, that puts him at number 2, by still remaining the ACW champion. But can he survive against Yoko? We’ll have to see….
1. Jay Zero
Easiest decision ever. Six wins, International Championship won, AND Emperor of the Ring? …Yeah…Congratulations on finally solidifying yourself as a main player
