**SIGN-UPS ARE NOW CLOSED. EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE** **CARD WILL BE UN SUNDAY, JAN. 4TH**
If you would like to participate in a one-shot ACW reunion show to be held sometime early in '15 please sign up here. Please do not sign up if you are not 100% committed.
THE ROSTER THUS FAR:
Thunderkiss Jason Freeman Torak Thunder Train Dan White XS3 Rattlesnake 004 Mr. Red Jake Steele Danny Mainer Macho Man RDK Chris Phenomenal BK London Echo
FAQ:
When will this be?
- I am hoping for February at the earliest. Reason being is that we have all moved on and the last thing we are going to do is sit down for hours and write for our imaginary wrestler like we used to. We have jobs, lives, kids, etc. People will be given a period of 1-2 months to get their promos and matches in after the card will be booked. This will not be a fast process but a rewarding one when all the segments are in. Be that as it may, Jason Freeman will still turn in his segments 10 minutes before the show.
Who is booking the card?
- Hopefully, you. It is my hope that people self book their matches prior to the final roster being established or after. I hope to see some matches that were "dream" matches or "rekindle old feud" matches that will still be fun to see in 2015. It is my hope you know who you want to work with and everyone finds someone to tell a short story with. If someone does not, I and Dan White will book matches for those individuals because that is what we used to do.
What am I supposed to write? How can I do a storyline with one show?
- I think a decent idea for everyone would be to write up a promo, hopefully prior to the show, that explains what your character has been doing for all these years. I have done so myself and just posted it onto the ACW Talk board. If enough people do this we will probably collect them and put them in their own posting. After that, hopefully you and your match partner will work together like in the old days to come up with something short that can play out in one show. I know this is not ideal, but if anyone can do it, I know it is you guys.
What is the storyline thus far?
- ACW Island is barren since the closing of the federation. The arena is still standing but collecting dust. Gingerdude is still owner and makes money selling old merch and DVD's on a website. An investor has recently approached Gingerdude about selling the rights to ACW. However, before the deal is done, the investor wants to gage public interest by holding an anniversary show. This unknown individual has hired former ACW announcer Eddie Edison to travel the country to talk to old talent and see if they would like to participate. Remember this for your promos.
- Who is writing the matches?
Anyone is welcome to partake with the exception of Jason Freeman. It will never get done.
Will this be done every year?
- Depends on the interest.
Who will determine winners?
To be honest right now, no idea. It is my hope that a lot of matches are predetermined by the participants. If people want judges for their contest, I am sure that can be arranged.

We need the ACW Champion the Senator Yes we do, verses Rattlesnake for the ACW World Heavyweight Championship. Besides that, my wish list is: XS3, FSX, Zero, AK, Latino, Spade, and that cuck, Danny Mainer.

I have a few of those on FB. Could message them if you want me to. No idea about contacting Latino or AK though.

I have Latino's gmail address, but who knows whether he still uses it or not. If nobody else has a direct contact that they know he still uses I can try emailing him with that.
My wishlist (I'm aware that these might be older characters/alts for some already signed up): Atomic Kitsune Latino Rattlesnake RDK BK London Wyvern Hunter (Yeah, I'm not holding out any hope on this one) Kuda Santiago Lex De La Rocha Rena Scott Andrews Davey Marvel Yoko Jake Cheng Jonny Spade Mr. Red The Senator

I'd be down for it.
I wouldn't hold out too much hope for Senator though. Unless he's on GameFAQs, he hasn't logged in to Fire Pro Club since Sept. 2012 and hasn't posted here since the year prior. Hunter and Rena broke off all contact with any ACW friends they had, so they're out too.

I noticed that with the pair of them. Some people just didn't seem so keen to have ACW folk on their social network, which I can't blame I guess.
I however have like 30 former ACW guys on my FB >_>

It might be worth declaring how many characters each of us are planning on or could possibly utilize on the card so we know what the minimum amount of sign-ups we'd need. Also, we probably need to agree on what the minimum amount would actually be worthwhile? Somewhere between 5-9 Matches? That was pretty standard at our peak. So 12-20 wrestlers?
I'll probably be dusting off Cordelia, Cyda White, Chris LaBlanc, Jack Veracious and Justin Jehst for one night only, ranging between match-duty and segment fodder.
Dan, have you ever been on my facebook? I've had 313'ers come and go on mine (They never survive a purge) so can't really remember if you have been.
Anyone who wants to add me is quite welcome to. My user name is WhiteCyda (Real name: Carl Evans)

Well I've got Dan White and Sgt. Pilko, which I'm happy to polish off.
I'll add you, but won't be surprised to see you've deleted me one day haha

I'll just go with XS3, Hitman, and Ben Drinkin as far as matches *and* segments go. Run Away, Edgemaster, Ken Williams, Jason Daniels, and Kayla Stevens can be used for segment filler if anyone wishes as well.

Just got in touch with Jake Steele. He's down for a contribution.

Mark, Dan, thanks for helping. I no longer have any messengers and I doubt people still use them. If you or anyone reading this can contact Rattlesnake, or any of the names I listed above (forgot to add Macho Man RDK), I would appreciate it. I would really like those guys involved if possible. Put the Senator signal up. Despite his presence, he has something that is needed to make this event memorable. I
I am going to leave this up for a while since it make time for the news to reach people. This won't happen next week by any means.
It is my hope we can get 16 people for a card of 8 matches. However, it would be even nicer to have eight great matches that make sense and are booked by everyone instead of throwing together 8 matches randomly. There are still some matches that never happened, or feuds that never happened, or unfinished business with old feuds which would be great to see finally happen. That is my hope.
For myself, good ol' TK has three possible matches that would be fun to see, just waiting to see who comes to the party. I already have the stories in my mind. I would also love to have Entourage and Double Penetration reunion promos. I would hate to do this for perhaps the last time and not be able to spin a few lines of dialogue with you guys.
It is good to hear about Steele, Mark, but I am going to hold off adding names until they come to the board and reply themselves. This will be helpful to prevent no-shows.
I would also like to add three new names to the ACW HOF during this event, and would like to have a discussion about who we should determine to induct. There are some names that should be on that list that are not.

I've messaged a few people on Facebook, whether it sparks something positive is something I do not know. I've also messaged Senator via GameFAQS. To be honest I'm not expecting a response, although he logged in yesterday so at least he's active there. During the ill-fated Fallout project in Summer 2011 I messaged him but it just got ignored, so I'm not holding my breath but it would be great if he did come in.

So I got this message regarding a Reunion show for ACW and you know me...I'm in. Just let me know when it is. I'll whip up some material for it.
