The Essential Fallout

[The Senator]

This originally started out as a Fallout DVD project. I will still put the DVD project together some day, as an "intro to Fallout" deal, showing the most important moments in Fallout history(all in Kayfabe), as a way for new people, and old vets to catch up on the good ol' days of Fallout. Now, this topic will now be considered the "Essential Fallout" project, showcasing what I see as the top matches in Fallout history.

Note: I grouped things into four and a half eras, the first "early era" is largely the time that Wyvern posted the show, the "expansion" is largely when Dan posted it/up to and including the first Supershow, the "middle" era starts after that, and is the time between the Supershow and the ACW/Fallout feud, while the "Crossover" era encompasses that time in Fallout history, with a short "Post Crossover" era also covered for completion's sake.

EARLY ERA

alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1108224946&page=1#1108225360
(This match got me some great early heat)

Match 5: Anthony Kalb vs. Beau James – SSW / ACW Junior Title match (Credit: Senator)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1111257331&page=1#1111257657
(Beau and Kalb both at their best, and one of my favorite finishing sequences ever)

Match 2: El Froggy Mask vs. Felix Santana Jr. (Credit: BK London)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1111850998&page=1#1111851354

Match 4: Wolf vs. El Froggy Mask (Credit: Yoko)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1112463013
(One of the strangest Fallout matches ever...and one of the most hilarious ones, too. This is the match that made Wolf a big time star.)

Match 5: Daredevil vs. Yoko Satoshi - ACW World Title Match (Credit: Senator)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1113683649

alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1114269951

Match 4: Hunter vs. FSX (Credit: RDK)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1116686740
(Yeah, it's an ACW matchup...but it's on Fallout!)

Match 3: Team Biff vs. Rebellion (6 on 6 elimination)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1119717020
(Same show, and perhaps the longest Fallout match at that time.)

Match 3: Street Fight - El Froggy Mask vs. Felix Santana Junior
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1126377003
(Another great contest between the two Luchadors)

Match 4: SSW Title - Beau James (c) vs. Anthony Kalb (Credit: RDK)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1131813135

Match 5: Beau James/Mystery Partner vs. Biff/Glamour Boy
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1133646685
(A very fun tag match that was the beginning of the BMW alliance)

Match: Cage Match – Biff Taylor & ‘Glamour Boy’ Jeffrey Janson vs. Wolf & Beau James (Credit: DD & Jake)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1134265927
(The best, and only match on the card delivered the goods.)

EXPANSION ERA

Match 3: The Royles vs. the Goodfellas (Credit: Senator, and WeDrag because Senator can’t spell ‘Royles’ >_>)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1136673086
(One of my favorite feuds in Fallout history had to be the triangle tag feud with the new teams of the Goodfellas/Royles(I spelled it right this time, WD!)/IF/IO, and it produced some really fun matches to write)

Match 5: Junior Tag Team Titles – Lost Boys vs. Beau James & Wolf
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1136673086
(The tag division was really on fire during this period, as this match clearly shows)

(As I said, this triangle feud really did rule.)

Match 4: Beau James vs. Biff Taylor
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1137279031
(Heck, not only the tag division, but Fallout period was putting on awesome matches during this period. Beau always brings the goods, and Biff can put out a great match if provoked)

Match 4: Royles vs. Irresistible Force/Immovable Object (Credit: Senator)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1137959873
(One more match from the triangle...)

Match 1: Felix Santana Sr. vs. Felix Santana Jr. (Credit: Senator)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1138476461

alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1138476461

Match 5: Holocaust vs. Sgt. Pilko (Wolf, Daniel Ness & Predator as Lumberjacks)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1142797643

Match #4: Anthony Kalb vs. Kevin Fitsharris: No Disqualifications
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1146527968
(The big blowoff match to their feud, vicious fight, but not the bloodiest match on the card...)

Match #5: Stan H. Johnston & The Everyman & Mark “The Axe” Miller vs. P-Dogg & Skullface Killah & Rampage: Philly High Rise BBQ
(Credit: Senator)
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1146527968&page=2

Match #5: Fallout Openweight Title Shot:
Colossus Rhodes vs. Beau James
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1155519145

alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=1159080876&page=1#1159081105

REBOOT ERA

Match: Stan H. Johnston vs. Daniel Ness: Fallout Openweight Title
alphacw.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=worldwide&action=display&thread=2381&page=2#28843
(The match that was over a year in the making...and I argue, delivered to satisfaction. One of the longer epics in Fallout history.)

(When a match doesn't entertain the Fallout crowd, they MAKE it entertaining...)

So true.

I may not be able to list off 15 but 'll give you my favorites off of that list.

- 2-on-4 Handicap Match (It was great writing it)
- Felix/Froggy (Sick El Santana Driver)
- Philly High Rise BBQ (Nothing wrong with fire)
- DNA/Ben Drinkin Supershow Match (Hardcore as hell)
- Skurai/Pilko (Quote of the match: "Here is your winner... god dammit... Skurai.")
- Iris/Lilly (Simply for the "Orton sucks" chants.
- Senator/Froggy (Whoever knew Senator could be a heel? )

[The Senator]

I'll likely have this done before the end of the year, complete with Senatorial Commentary on the selections.

[double]

best of fallout? waaa?

[The Senator]

Just wondering if anyone here'd like to help me out. It'd not require much work, all you'd have to do is look over my picks and make sure I'm not *too* biased, pretty much.

[Fallen Souls]

>.> I'll give you a hand with that Sennie..

[The Senator]

Just thought I'd bump this, with the possibility of perhaps adding onto it...in the least, it's a fun list of matches for people to read who have some extra time:)

[Jack Jefferson]

Just re-read the Senator vs. Tornado match, good memories!


I vote that you add the Jack Jefferson vs. Marcus Curtis: Rage in the Cage match


Just kidding, but I gotta say - very nice list Sennie, especially the earlier stuff, showing that Fallout does in fact have a proud history!

[The Senator]

Actually, if I expand it like I plan to do, I'll certainly add it.

[rosslambert]

I'm half tempted to do a "Worst of ACW/Fallout" DVD, primarily featuring people as opposed to matches, brief descriptions of their characters and then give them 2 matches to spotlight them... and be a serious lesson to never end up like those guys again.

Potential Candidates for the Worst Of DVD: Franchi$e, Ross Lambert, PJ Mills (the character, not the role-player), Libertines, and many more.

[Jack Jefferson]

Franchi$e FTW

[scrawn]

Reading some of them matches, I wish I was in charge of Fallout again.
