Alright, I've got this list made up. I've so far only gone through PPVs, because it's so fucking hard to go through all the shows. But that'll eventually be done. I've also done examples of some matches, so take a look through if you want. Also, there's a wee code to follow: ACW - means this match, to my knowledge, is an ACW-only match Character Exclusive - this means the match is exclusive to a particular character, and that you must get their permission before using this match I've split it up into categories, and thus different pages, so it's easier to follow: -Standard Matches -Tag Matches / Handicap Matches -Cage Matches -Hell in a Cell Matches -Strap Matches -Ladder Matches -Area-Based Matches -Deathmatches (NOT including matches seen in the King of the Death Match tournaments) -Other Matches STANDARD MATCHES There are several variations of singles matches. Many of them just revolve around two competitors, but it's not uncommon to see more than one people compete Standard One on OneIn this event, this is a standard wrestling match between two people. There are slight variations to the rules, such as whether there are rope breaks, countouts, or disqualifications. The match normally ends via pinfall, submission, or referee stoppage. Multi Man Singles MatchesThese matches can pair three, four, five, six or however amount of people with each other. The norm is that it finishes after one fall, but on occasions these matches may be elimination. 2/3 Falls MatchThe name's in the title. There are a minimum of 2, and a maximum of 3 falls to win in this match. First person to win two wins the match. In an added twist, each fall may contain a separate gimmick. Matches can be either singles matches, or tag matches. 3 Strikes Match (ACW) A 3 Strikes match is when you pin your opponent, make your opponent submit, and knock your opponent out in succession. The chain is broken if the order isn't right, although the chain doesn't break if the opponent is building his/her run Examples: -BK London def. Macho Man RDK (World Title, Bloody Valentine's 2005) -BK London def. Latino (World Title, EOTR 2006) Battle RoyaleBattle Royales normally carry one rule: you're only eliminated by being thrown over the top rope, and you're only eliminated if both feet touch the floor. Apart from this, pretty much anything goes. Examples: -Lightweight Title Number One Contender's Battle Royale (Heatwave 2004) -International Title Number One Contender's Battle Royale (Bloody Valentine's 2005) -World Title Battle Royale (Spring Into Hell 2006) -World Title Number One Contender's Battle Royale (Omega Effect II 2006) -Entertainment Title Battle Royale (7 Deadly Sins 2007) Fallen Heroes Battle RoyaleVery similar rules to the Royal Rumble in WWE. Two people start, and every 2 minutes another entrant enters the match. The match is played out in top-rope elimination format, with the winner being the last person standing. Examples: -Wyvern wins the 2005 Fallen Heroes Battle Royale -Latino and Hunter win the 2006 Fallen Heroes Battle Royale -BK London wins the 2007 Fallen Heroes Battle Royale -Senator wins the 2008 Fallen Heroes Battle Royale -Thunderkiss wins the 2009 Fallen Heroes Battle Royale Gauntlet MatchThis match will start with two or more people starting in the ring. Once a person is eliminated (via pinfall or submission), a new person comes down to the ring. The match continues until there's one person left standing. Ironman MatchAn Ironman match is when there is a set amount of time, and the winner of the match is the person who gains the most falls in the match. Falls can be gained via pinfall, submission, and depending on rules DQ and count out. Examples: -TNT def. Latino 3-2 (60 Minutes, International Title, Ragnarok 2005) -Angelo Giovanni and Alicia Kitsune draw 2-2 (20 Minutes, Spring Into Hell 2005) -BK London def. Kudo Yasuda 3-2 (30 Minutes, Samhain 2005) -Tornado def. Rawt 4-3 (20 Minutes, Junior Title, Winter Discontent 2005) -Tornado def. Jonny Hughes 2-1 (30 Minutes, Entertainment Title, Genocide 2006) -Rattlesnake def. Santiago Rivera 2-1 (45 Minutes, International Title, Heatwave 2006) -MASAKI def. Jason Freeman and Chris Bryant 1-0-0 (30 Mins, Entertainment Title, Winter Discontent 2008) -Nick Durden def. Adrian Flamingo 1-0 in sudden death (60 Minutes, Spring Into Hell 2007) -Nick Durden and Kudo Yasuda draw 1-1 (30 Minutes, Omega Effect III 2007) Knock Out or Tap Out Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Kudo) This match comprises of a stipulation where Kudo can only knock his opponent out, and they can only make him tap out Examples: -Senator def. The Great KUDA (Spring Into Hell 2006) -BK London def. Kudo Yasuda (World Title, Samhain 2008) No Holds BarredSimilar to a standard match, the difference being that there are no rope breaks, and no holds which are deemed illegal. Pure RulesA Pure Rules match is one where the wrestlers get 3 rope breaks and 3 only, there's a 20-count instead of a 10 count, and probably more rules that I cannot recall. Senatorial Stipulations Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to The Senator) “The match is based on an MMA format; there are three judges whom will assess the competitors performance, and if the match does not conclude within its half hour time limit, they will have the task of determining the winner. Leaving the ring is forbidden and will be classed as a fall; any interference or use of weapons will result in immediate disqualification. The match can only be won within the time limit by securing two consecutive falls against the opponent, and each must be different; falls are awarded for pins, submission, Ringouts or KO.” Examples: -Hunter def. Senator (EOTR 2005) -Senator def. Hunter (7 Deadly Sins 2006) -Senator def. Hunter and Rattlesnake (International Title, Heatwave 2007) -- On A Pole MatchThere is a small pole in a corner, with an object on it. Often, whoever claims the object then gets to make a pinfall or a submission. Examples: -JonnyG def. Gooey Garth (Pink Slip on a Pole, Omega Effect I 2005) xxx Rules MatchThese matches comprise of one person holding the overwhelming advantage over the other, as he can change the rules whenever he/she wants. Example: -BK London def. Fallen Souls (Russo's Rules, World Title, Seven Deadly Sins 2008)

TAG TEAM MATCHES Like Singles matches, there are many variations of tag team matches. Some are basic, but others can become more intense. Standard Tag Team MatchThis type of match comprises of two teams of two competitors fighting against each other. The rules are similar to a standard one on one match, with the added stipulation that the tag team partner must remain on the outside of the ring, standing on the apron. Seven Deadly Sins Tag Match (ACW) This match was a one-off, and had interesting rules. It was a scramble tag team 5-on-5 elimination match. People could be eliminated via pinfall, submission, or over the top rope. Example: -AK, Latino, 004, Gingerdude & Bladeshadow def. Kain, Rose, Ridley, WCW 98 and RDK (Seven Deadly Sins 2004) Tag Team TurmoilIn these matches, you begin with two or three teams starting out. Every time a team is eliminated, a new team enters under gauntlet rules, until we have a final tag team lasting out. Examples: -Heatwave 5-Team Tag Team Turmoil (Heatwave 2004) -Ragnarok 9-Team Tag Team Turmoil (Ragnarok 2005) # vs. # Elimination MatchesYou have two teams, usually of the same number of competitors, and the winning team is the team who survives. HANDICAP MATCHES Handicap matches can come in all sizes. There's 1 on 2 matches, 2 on 3 matches, and so on. Here's a list of all the ones we've seen in ACW. 1 on 2 HandicapIt's all in the title. One man has to fight against two other competitors. There may be several different variations to this match, such as the following: -The handicapped person can only pin one of his/her two opponents -The handicapped person must pin both of his/her opponents -Only one particular member of the team with the advantage can pin their opponent 2 on 3 HandicapSimilar to the 1-on-2 rules, but normally also under tag team rules.

HARDCORE MATCHES There have been a large number of different hardcore matches in ACW, from the basic Hardcore Rules match to very specific matches. Included here are matches that could only be described as “of hardcore essence” Hardcore RulesThis match comprises of two or more people fighting in a match where all weapons are available to use. These matches cannot usually finish anywhere other than the ring. If the match is a tag team match, then the rules are normally Tornado Tag. In multi-man matches, it may either be elimination or first pinfall/submission to win the match. First Blood MatchA match with only one rule: The first person to make their opponent bleed wins the match. Other than that, it's anything goes. Examples: -Davey Marvel def. Hunter (Samhain 2005) -Leon Chase and Jason Freeman drew (EOTR 2006) -Hitman & Serenity def. Draco & Magnum Steele (Samhain 2006) -Jon Taylor def. Shikari (BEST. PPV. EVER. 2007) -Lucrezia def. Wolf (Bloody Valentine's 2008) I-Quit MatchOne of ACW's most brutal matches. The match cumulates when you batter your opponent to within an inch of his/her life, but not so far as to knock them out, as you have to get them to utter the words “I quit” into a microphone. Examples: -Dan White def. Tornado (Macho Mania 2005) -DiaVolo def. Rena (Samhain 2007) Japanese Elements Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Bladeshadow) In this match, all sides of the ropes had a gimmick to them, in the style of the culture of Japan. The match was won via pinfall or submission. Example: -Davey Marvel def. Bladeshadow (Spring Into Hell 2005) Last Man StandingA match where hardcore ideals are advised. The goal of the match is to hurt your opponent until he/she is unable to answer a “10-count” (or other numbers, although 10 is the norm) from the referee. This count can occur anywhere in the arena. Examples: -White Rose def. Skurai (World Title, Samhain 2004) -Dave Marvel and RDK draw (Genocide 2005) -Hunter def. Macho Man RDK (World Title, Winter Discontent 2005) -BK London def. Jake Cheng (7 Deadly Sins 2007) -DiaVolo def. Irie (Heatwave 2007) Scaffold MatchThese matches take place on a scaffolding platform high above the ring. The goal is to throw your opponent off of this scaffolrding. Example: -Thunderkiss def. Rena (Entertainment Title, Spring Into Hell 2007) Seven Deadly Sins Match (ACW) The singles version of this match. The match is a falls count anywhere elimination match, comprising of seven competitors. The winner is the last person remaining. Examples: -Wyvern wins the 2005 Seven Deadly Sins Match -Scott Andrews wins the 2008 Seven Deadly Sins Match Steel Chair Symphony (ACW – Character Exclusive to TNT) Basically, there's no DQs, and no count outs. And there's a lot of chairs on the outside of the ring. It sounds simple enough, and, well, it is. Examples: -Latino def. TNT (International Title, Winter's Discontent 2004) -TNT def. Macho Man RDK (Omega Effect I 2005) -Ricky Falco def. Skynyrd (Spring Into Hell 2007) Street FightThese matches are similar in rules to a Hardcore match, but with varying weaponry. The objects seen are normally those you see on the street, and there is added influence on hurting your opponent. Examples: -Latino def. BK London (Samhain 2004) -Hunter def. Dan White (Omega Effect II 2006) -Leon Chase def. Nick Durden (Super Happy Fun Vagina Day Extravaganza 2006) -XS3 def. Danny Mainer (Omega Effect III 2007) -Jin def. Silencio (Ragnarok 2008) -XS3 def. Hatchet (Heatwave 2008) -Thunder Train def. Jonny Spade (EOTR 2008) -Jason Freeman def. Mr. Red (Ragnarok 2009) -Fallen Souls def. AC Evans (Bloody Valentine's 2009) Street Fight (Real)Similar to a standard Street Fight, but the difference being that this match is fought on the actual street! Examples: -Latino def. Torak (Spring Into Hell 2006) -MASAKI def. Jonny Spade (Entertainment Title, Samhain 2006) -Danny Mainer def. Silencio (Mexican Street Fight, Heatwave 2008) Weapon of Choice MatchThese matches give everyone in a match one weapon to use in the match, which otherwise is won via pinfall or submission Examples: -Mr. Red def. Leon Chase (Entertainment Title, Omega Effect II 2006) -Scott Andrews def. Jake Cheng and Santiago (Light-Heavyweight Title, Omega Effect II 2006) -Danny Mainer and Chris Phenomenal draw (Genocide 2009)

CAGE MATCHES The ACW wrestlers have come up with many different innovative ways to change the cage match. But are there any better alternatives than the classic steel cage match? Steel Cage MatchIn the style of a WWE steel cage match, the walls are made of steel mesh. There are many different ways of winning this classic match, such as the following: -Climb over the top of the cage/get through the door -Pinfall or submission -First team to escape (in event of a tag team match) Examples: -Rey McFoley def. Venom, Jake Cheng and Mr. Red (Lightweight Title, Seven Deadly Sins 2004) -Bob & Rena def. Dan White (EOTR 2004) -TNT def. Jake Cheng (Hellbound Heart 2004) -Torak and Angelus Kincaird def. Dan White and Cold-Blooded Killers (Genocide 2006) -Dan White def. Jonny Hughes (7 Deadly Sins 2006) -Thunderkiss def. Exemplar (BEST. PPV. EVER. 2007) -Adrian Flamingo def. Senator (Winter Discontent 2007) -Wayde Russeller def. Chris Cooley (Seven Deadly Sins 2008) -Chris Williams def. Daniel Ness (Hello Goodbye 2008) -AC Evans def. Jonny Hughes (Ragnarok 2009) The Abattoir (ACW – Character Exclusive to Danny Mainer) There are a number of versions of this, but the ACW version comprised of a steel cage set up in an abandoned warehouse, with a solid concrete floor. To win, you must first have your opponent unable to answer a 20-count, and then you can walk out the door. Example: -Thunderkiss and Danny Mainer draw (Bloody Valentine's 2009) Barbed Wire Cage MatchThis match is a standard steel cage match, but with the twist of barbed wire all across the top of the cell. This gives the match an added essence. Example: -Rena def. Bre Double T and Santiago Rivera (Samhain 2005) -The Great KUDA def. Tornado (Fallen Heroes 2006) -Jason Freeman def. Jay Zero and Santiago Rivera (International Title, Omega Effect III 2007) -Jake Steele def. Jonny Hughes (EOTR 2008) Doomsday Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Dan White) The Doomsday Match was a large octagon structure with an 8-sided steel cage around it. In the middle is a standard steel cage, and the winner of the match was the team who managed to take the titles from a wire above the standard steel cage. Example: -G-Unit def. Mestarruus (Bloody Valentine's 2005) Hardcore Haven (ACW) LOL. Okay, seriously, it was a match that was similar to the Triple Cage match. It was pretty terrible. The winner of the match got a title shot whenever they wanted to cash it in. Example: -Hunter def. TNT (Spring Into Hell 2005) Heavy Metal Mayhem MatchTo my understanding this is a steel cage match with a lot of weapons dotted around. I wouldn't know. Like a normal person I don't watch TNA. Example: -Alicia Kitsune & Nick Durden def. The Rioters (Bloody Valentine's 2007) House of Mirrors Match (ACW) A Steel Cage has one-way mirrors attached to the inside of the cage, meaning that the wrestlers can only see their reflections. The winner occurs when somebody escapes, usually following the breaking of the glass. Examples: -Yoko Satoshi def. Amo the Great (Samhain 2004) -Chance Emmerson def. Starkweather (World Title, Winter Discontent 2006) -Hunter def. Starkweather (World Title, Samhain 2007) Iron Fortress Match (ACW) Basically, a steel cage inside a Hell in a Cell with a lot of barbed wire Example: -Scott Andrews def. Nick Durden (Omega Effect IV 2008) Panopticon Match (ACW) Similar to a cage match, but instead of steel mesh, the 'cage' is made up out of brick wall! The only way to win is by climbing up a ladder through a small hole in the top Example: -Brimstone def. Jake Cheng (Winter Discontent 2006) Poco Loco Extreme (ACW - Character Exclusive to El Loco and Rey McFoley) There were many stipulations to this match, as explained in bullet points. -The match would start with the cage down, and a metal baseball bat above the ring -First person to grab the baseball bat got the rights to use it -Once the bat has been retrieved, first person to throw their opponent through a side of the cage wins Examples: -Edge def. Flea (Uncensored 2004) Skyscraper of Hell Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to PDogg) Basically, it was similar to WCW's triple tiered cage match, but with a 20-foot pole added on top of it, with the World Title wrapped around Bladeshadow's fiancee. Probably a one-off match, as it was pretty lame in my opinion. Example: -Bladeshadow def. PDogg (World Title, Heatwave 2004) Snakepit Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Rattlesnake) There's a large octagon-shaped pexiglass enclosure, with weapons, a ladder, and all sorts inside. There are no rules, other than the first person to leave wins the match Example: -Rattlesnake def. Alicia Kitsune and Jake Cheng (Samhain 2006) -Thunderkiss def. Rattlesnake (Ragnarok 2008) Ultimate Massacre Match (ACW) This match was similar to a Hell in a Cell match, only without a roof. There are weapons dotted around the vicinity, and the winner is the first person to gain a submission/pinfall. Example: -Jake Cheng def. Bre Double T (Light-Heavyweight Title, Ragnarok 2006) Washington Rules (ACW – Character Exclusive to Senator) This match is a classic blue steel cage match, but with a twist! If you leave the cage, you automatically lose the match. You win via pinfall or submission Examples: -Wyvern def. Senator (World Title, Spring Into Hell 2007) -Senator def. Thunderkiss (International Title, Seven Deadly Sins 2007)

HELL IN A CELL MATCHES The Hell in a Cell match is one of the most gruesome matches in wrestling history. And yet in true ACW style, people have come up with their own innovative ways to alter it. Hell in a CellThe classic match. Basically, it's a huge cage which extends about 4 feet around all four sides of the ring, and has a roof over it. There is a door, but there are means of escaping it, and most HIAC matches normally end up on the outside anyways. Examples: -Macho Man RDK def. V-3 (International Title, EOTR 2004) -Macho Man RDK def. TNT and BK London (7 Deadly Sins 2005) -Dan White def. Macho Man RDK (Spring Into Hell 2006) -Alicia Kitsune def. Starkweather (Heatwave 2007) Asylum Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Hunter) This match comprises of several chambers, each ones connected with corridors. Everyone is paired off against one other person, and once they have pinned their opponent, they get to enter a new chamber. Once all original chambers have encountered a fall, the main chamber opens up. Whoever wins the stipulation in this head chamber wins the match. The entire match is surrounded by a huge steel structure. Examples: -Hunter & Cage def. G-Unit and Bladeshadow & V-3 (Tag Team Titles, Hellbound Heart 2004) Hell in a Cell Evolved / Wargames From Hell (ACW) Goes under both these names, but either can do. Basically, it's similar to the Wargames cell structure, but the same height as a Hell in a Cell from WWE. The only match pitted 6 people against each other, with the first person to gain a pinfall winning the match Example: -White Rose def. Yoko Satoshi, BK London, RDK, Bladeshadow and Surion (World Title, Winter Discontent 2004) Hell in a Cell Scramble (ACW) This combines the elements of a Hell in a Cell match and an Elimination Chamber match. Two men start, and at certain intervals, people enter the match. Once everyone is in the match, pinfall and/or submissions count, and the first person to make a fall wins Example: -Dan White def. Steele, Scott Andrews, Jonny Hughes, RDK and Freeman (International Title, Winter Discontent 2008) Hell's Kitchen Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Chef/Train) This match comprises of the original Hell in a Cell structure, but with a number of kitchen-related weaponry at the fighters' disposal. Traditionally, this match occurs every year at Ragnarok. Example: -Leon Chase def. Thunderkiss (Ragnarok 2007) -Leon Chase def. Alicia Kitsune (Ragnarok 2008) -Thunder Train def. Leon Chase (Ragnarok 2009) Industrial Revolution (ACW – Character Exclusive to Ridley and White Rose) Basically you have a Hell in a Cell, but with a twist. The match is laced with numerous different tools that you would find more suited in a factory. But not just that, the cell walls are wired with an electrical current, and there are scalding hot pipes snaking their way around these walls, letting off red-hot steam. Example: -Ridley def. White Rose and Skurai (TV Title, Uncensored 2004) -AK def. BK, Hunter, TNT, Senator, Jonny Spade, Predator & Holocaust (World Title, Genocide 2006) Pyramid From Hell (ACW) Okay, it's not a HIAC structure as such, but its principles are the same. Two (or more) men are in a pyramid-shaped structure, with a belt in the top (20 feet). There is a platform half way up (10 feet), giving the fighters a chance to climb up Example -Thunderkiss def. Dan White (Fallen Heroes 2008) War GamesThe rules of War Games are that there is (in most cases), a large steel structure surrounding the ring. Then in certain intervals, members of each team come out. Once everyone is it, the first team to score a pinfall or submission wins the match. Example: -Top Draw & Kudo def. Latino, AK & Rattlesnake (Ragnarok 2007) -Team ACW def. Team OCW (Hello Goodbye 2008)

STRAP MATCHES Strap matches, basically, are matches where two or more people are attached to each other by a strap of sorts. There are several different stipulations though depending on the strap, hence the category. Dog Collar MatchThis match pits two opponents with a dog collar and an 18-foot steel chain, in a Falls Count Anywhere match. The winner is the first man to make his opponent submit, or to pin him/her. Example: -Adrian Flamingo def. Scott Andrews (Heatwave 2007) Hardcore Chain Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Yoko Satoshi) A Yoko speciality. The rules of this match are that you are chained to your opponent via a wrist cuff, and in between the two opponents is another chain, with a mace attached to it. The first person to gain a pinfall or submission is the winner. Examples: -Yoko Satoshi def. GWD (Seven Deadly Sins 2004) -Yoko Satoshi def. Rey McFoley (Lightweight Title, Heatwave 2004) -Yoko Satoshi def. Wyvern (World Title, Omega Effect I 2005) Russian Chain MatchThe opponents are attached at the wrist with a steel chain. The match is won when, in succession, all four turnbuckle pads are touched. Examples: -Wyvern def. White Rose (Genocide 2005) -BK London and Hitman draw (Macho Mania 2005) -BK London def. Adrian Flamingo (Spring Into Hell 2008) St Elmo's Strap Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Torak) The two competitors are attached by a steel chain, which is connected to a steel belt fastened around their waist. There are no DQs, and the match ends via pinfall or submission. Example: -Latino def. Torak (Bloody Valentine's 2005)

LADDER MATCHES The ladder match is a simple concept. You have to try and beat your opponent and grab the title held above the ring. The stipulations around the match aren't so simple, however. Ladder MatchThis match comprises of one of the classic wrestling gimmick matches. There's a belt, or object hanging above the ring. The only way of getting it is by climbing up a ladder. How you get there is your duty. Examples: -V-3 def. Venom (International Title, Heatwave 2004) -Daredevil def. Kain (Entertainment Title, Hellbound Heart 2004) -Hunter def. Vinnie Dulario ($250k, Omega Effect I 2005) -Macho Man def. Dan White (World Title, EOTR 2005) -Vladimir Rasputin def. El Rey de la Mascara (Macho Mania 2005) -Kudo Yasuda def. Dan White (Entertainment Title, Bloody Valentine's 2006) -Logan Locke def. Elvir (Spring Into Hell 2006) -Santiago Rivera def. Jake Cheng (Light-Heavyweight Title, Spring Into Hell 2006) -Rattlesnake def. Macho Man RDK (International Title, 7 Deadly Sins 2006) -Latino def. BK London (World Title, Heatwave 2006) -Nick Durden def. Leon Chase (Winter Discontent 2006) -Thunderkiss def. Jason Freeman (Entertainment Title, Genocide 2007) -Kudo Yasuda def. Scott Andrews (7 Deadly Sins 2007) -Jay Zero def. Latino (Light-Heavyweight Title, BEST. PPV. EVER. 2007) -Thunder Train def. AC Evans (Entertainment Title, Omega Effect IV 2008) -Jake Steele def. Henry McKaye and Jay Zero (International Title, Samhain 2008) -Dave Shadow def. Chris Williams (Entertainment Title, Ragnarok 2009) TLC MatchTables, Ladders, and Chairs – oh my! It's all in the name, really. You have tables, ladders and chairs at your mercy. The match normally ends when the first person/team grabs the belt/other object, but on rare occasions it may come down to the first pinfall/submission. Examples: -Pain Inc. def. Poco Locos and Monkeybaal & Tyd (Tag Titles, Seven Deadly Sins 2004) -Jade def. Rena (Diva's Title, Omega Effect I 2005) -Flower Power def. Kings of Satire (Tag Titles, Spring Into Hell 2006) -Jake Cheng def. Nick Durden, Dan White and VorteX (Light-Heavyweight Title, Heatwave 2007) -Road Steelers def. Whitesnake and G-Unit (Tag Titles, Heatwave 2008) TXC Match (ACW) This match combined the TLC match and the Ultimate X match. The only difference that instead of ladders, there is the large X crossing the ring, as seen in the Ultimate X match. Example: -Hunter def. Jake Cheng and Jenero (Lightweight Title, Bloody Valentine's 2005) Ultimate X MatchDerived from TNA, this match pits four large metal pillars at each turnbuckle, with each one carrying a diagonal rope, making an X above the ring. In the middle of the X there's an object, often a title but sometimes a different object. Examples: -Bladeshadow & V-3 def. The Italian Mafia (Tag Titles, Samhain 2004) -Davey Marvel def. Jack Fury (Bloody Valentine's 2005) -Santiago Rivera and RDK draw (International Title, Genocide 2006) -Scott Andrews def. Vince Hall (Light-Heavyweight Title, EOTR 2006) -Fallen Souls def. XS3 (The right to the letter X, Heatwave 2007)

AREA-BASED MATCHES These matches normally happen in a certain area, and are often comedic encounters. Falls Count AnywhereDoes exactly what it says on the tin. The match can finish anywhere. The ring, the roof, the street, absolutely anywhere! Alcatraz Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Hunter) This match was fought on the prison island of Alcatraz. The winner of the match was the first person who was able to throw their opponent into a prison cell, and lock the door. Example: -Hunter def. Latino (Heatwave 2005) Block Buster Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to Hunter) Basically, a match fought out in a blockbuster video store. The winner was Hunter, because he's Jewish, or something. Example: -Hunter def. Davey Marvel (Macho Mania 2005) Boiler Room BrawlA match in a boiler room. The only way to escape is to leave the boiler room and shut the door behind you Example: -Dan White def. Black & White (Seven Deadly Sins 2008) Escape the House (ACW) Played between Latino and BK. Fighting around the house, the first person to escape and shut the door won the match. Example: -BK London and Latino draw (Spring Into Hell 2005) Locker Room BrawlThe winner of the match isn't decided by pinfall or submission. Instead, the winner was decided by throwing the opponent out of the room, then shutting the door. Example: -Bre Double T def. Scott Andrews (7 Deadly Sins 2005) Mayhem at the Mall (ACW) The classic match, competed in between Kain and Skurai. Basically it was first person to secure a win in a Mall. You're best off reading the match to paint a clearer picture. Example: -Skurai def. Kain (Heatwave 2004) Terror at the Zoo (ACW) Similar rules to Mayhem at the Mall, and in the same jest. The first person to secure a fall in the zoo wins the match. Example: -Predator def. Wolf (Omega Effect I 2005) Tomb of Pain (ACW) Basically, the two opponents are in an enclosed “tomb”. The rule is to basically escape the match from a hole at the roof of the tomb. Example: -Jack McCarty def. Daredevil (Spring Into Hell 2005)

KING OF THE DEATHMATCH STYLE MATCHES These matches truly take your body to the limit. They're often used to end major feuds. 4 Corners of Pain MatchIn this match, there are four different setups lying in each corner. In one match, there was a tank of lobsters, cacti, a pane of glass, and some stapleguns. Example: -Yoko Satoshi def. Bob Di'Las (Bloody Valentine's 2005) Barbed Wire Ropes MatchTwo variations of this match: Either the ropes have barbed wire wrapped around them, or the ropes are completely replaced by barbed wire. Either way, things get prickly. Examples: -BK London def. Spider (Heatwave 2004) Barbed Wire Tables MatchThe same rules as a standard Tables match applies here, but with the added bonus that the tables are wrapped with barbed wire! Example: -Hunter def. Jake Cheng (Lightweight Title, Genocide 2005) Bed of Roses MatchThe rules to this match are that you mus make your opponent tap out, on pin them to win. There's also a barbed wire board on the outside of the ring to keep the wrestlers happy Example: -Starkweather def. Scott Andrews (Bloody Valentine's 2007) Devil's Night Wonder Crush Steel City Flying Nimbus Caribbean Glass Fans Bring the Weapons Hellspawn's Goblet 2/3 Falls Deathmatch (ACW – Character Exclusive to Ridley) Read this... alphacw.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=PPV&action=display&thread=8681&page=3#97618Example: -Ridley def. Skurai (Hellbound Heart 2004) Elements of Power Match (ACW – Character Exclusive to AK and Ridley) Okay, a little bit confusing, here. Basically, there are four large platforms that spiral above the ring. On each platform are switches, when switched they do something different. The match can only finished once all the switches are switched, and then a pinfall/submission can be made. Read this match (the only match of this kind) for further details: alphacw.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=PPV&action=display&thread=8680&page=3#97551Example: -Ridley def. Alicia Kitsune (Samhain 2004) Leather & Lace MatchThere are several variations to this match. In the original match, it was all about Ridley pinning Rose, and Rose trying to make Ridley submit. But the general theme is very sadomasochistic, and not one for the vanilla-hearted. Examples: -Ridley def. White Rose (Fallen Heroes 2005) -Thunderkiss def. Alicia Kitsune (Samhain 2007) -Sarin Rossi def. Thunderkiss (World Title, Spring Into Hell 2008) Legalized Murder MatchThe rules here are to kill your opponent. There's nothing more to it. Examples: -Ridley def. Anthem (Genocide 2005) -Scott Andrews def. Angelus Kincaid (Genocide 2009) Lighttube DeathmatchThe rules of this match are that you must win via pinfall or submission, and it's Falls Count Anywhere. Oh, and there's lighttubes scattered all over the place. Example: -Scott Andrews def. Wayde Russeller (Bloody Valentine's 2009) Ridley's Rules (ACW – Character Exclusive to Ridley) An interesting match, to say the least. Basically, it was whatever Ridley decided, went. And Ridley was pretty creative in what rules he decided. Example: -Pain Inc. def. Opener Army (EOTR 2004)

OTHER These matches do not fall under any of the previous categories. Asgard Ice Coffin Match (ACW) The goal of this match is to render your opponent useless, and then place him into an ice coffin, shutting the lid on him Example: -Adrian Flamingo def. Nick Durden (Genocide 2007) Hard 10 Tables MatchThis Hardcore rule adds the element of scoring. Basically weapons are worth certain points, with a table being 5. The first team to reach or hit over 10 points wins the match Example: -The Rioters def. Nick Durden & Michael Ghail (Ragnarok 2007) Hollywood Boulevard Hell's Highway Match (ACW) This match, fought in the backstage, has one rule: the first person to throw your opponent into a limousine and shut the door wins the match Example: -Thunder Train def. Hollywood Match (International Title, Genocide 2009) Seek and Destroy Match (ACW) The rules to this match are that the match starts with a belt hidden somewhere in the arena. Once the belt in found, you may only win the match via pinfall or submission, IF you are wearing the belt. Example: -Jake Cheng def. Hunter (World Title, Ragnarok 2008) Strait Jacket Match (ACW) The goal of this match is to beat your opponent down so badly that you can put him in a straitjacket, thus giving the implication that he is the more “mentally disturbed” of the two Example: -Starkweather def. Brimstone (Ragnarok 2007) Tables MatchAh, the classic. The winner(s) of this match are the person/team who eliminates all of his/their opponents, via putting them through a table. Examples: -Jake Cheng def. Rookie Monster (Omega Effect I 2005) -Jake Cheng def. Chris Bryant (EOTR 2006) -Top Draw and G-Unit draw (Genocide 2007) -Lucrezia def. Alex Richmond (Bloody Valentine's 2008) -The Empire def. Jonny Spade, Dave Shadow and Jason Freeman (Elimination, Genocide 2009)

And we're done. Like I said, I'll go through TV shows and update accordingly, but it will take me time. 5 years of shows is no cakewalk. By all means praise me with words of gold, and criticise it with scowls of mud. And if I've made any mistakes/omissions, tell me.

Awesome, awesome job Dan. One thing I'd like to throw in (but will probably be lol'd at) was the 2/3 Tables match that (I think) I brought into ACW from my previous fed, KWA. Logan Locke and I dueled in that match to settle our feud on 6/19/2006.

Matches like that aren't included since they're basically 2/3 matches with a gimmick. It's why I haven't listed all the "three stages of hell" matches ACW has had.

Fair enough. It's still a great list and it's very detailed, leading me to believe that when you say you go out for partys/shagging/et all, you're really reading these boards to know everything about ACW >_>
