Chairman Stephan Russo
Position: Co-Chairman of the Board/Owner of ACW
Height: 6'0
Weight: 190lbs
Age: 43
Hometown: Portland, Maine
Appearance: Not exactly as built as Gingerdude, but his suit would have you believe so. Always sporting the finest tailored suits, with broad shoulders to look more intimidating is just one of Russo's trademarks. With the stress over the years, he has a full hair of gray hair before even reaching old age.
History: He's most known for his run as owner of GFWWE before it was shut down in mid-2004 due to going bankrupt. Previous to that however, Stephan Russo is a Princeton graduate in the major of marketing. During his 6 year tenure at the school, on the side he took wrestling lessons but quit once it interfered with his studies. Like in ACW, Russo wasn't exactly the most popular student at his University.
After graduating, he had a dream to become the head of a wrestling company - big enough to compete with the WWE, so he made a worldwide call to wrestlers to join the next big wrestling federation that would be sponsored by quite a few high rollers. This would be the start of GFWWE.
During GFWWE, he was accused several times of booking the matches so that his friends and favorite stars won - as opposed to who was more over in the company. This started an uprising which is noted as "The Great Migration of 2004" in which many of Russo's talent made their way over to GFWCW - now ACW.
With the end of GFWWE, Russo spent the last four years planning his revenge while also working behind the scenes producing reality television shows. In 2008, he would make an appearance in ACW as the agent of BK London. Within the following months, he would manage to become Co-Chairman of ACW.
