This could be a fun little discussion, I think.
ACW: A bit more casual oriented than Fallout, ACW reaches out more to a broad based audience, for example, with the recording contracts of BK London, and the greater emphasis on more extravagant storylines. They have a good amount of female fans, due to the likes of Alicia Kitsune, Yoko Satoshi, and previously, Alexandra Kaesar. ACW fans have an inherent bloodlust, or at least, there's a subportion of the crowd that highly enjoys deathmatches. A decent sized subportion is the Divas crowd, almost exclusively brought in by Rena Matheson, and are an equal mix of women who prefer a more "feminine" in ring style, and guys looking for hot in ring action. ACW's fan base is worldwide, with the US, Canada, the UK, and to a lesser degree, Japan and the Pacific being target areas(New Zealand and Australia both have diehard ACW fanbases).
Fallout: Of course, there's some overlap here. Fallout Fanatics are to a T, quite vocal and supportive of their product. Heck, since it's often pre-empted and aired at late hours, they have to be, to follow it. They have a good grasp of the independant circuit, which Biff caters to, by booking top talent from the better groups. They prefer stiff brawls and mat wrestling, but can appreciate quirky and charismatic wrestlers, as well. There's a bit of a subfollowing that loves the crazy gimmicks, and some that like dark, supernatural style gimmicks, leading to the high popularity of Mina von Pathos, the repeated booking of Reaper/Cremator/Angelus, and the aquisition of Byron Lockwood. The largest subsection likely would be an older age group that appreciates the likes of the Texans, the well developed tag division, and the credibility of the belts.
