This edition of Meltdown was a particularly special one because of a tonne of new alliances being forged. With the most notable being Top Draw, Stephan Russo, A.C. Evans and Henry McKaye (The Debasers) forming "Omega Championship Wrestling". Jake Steele and Thunder Train became "The Road Steelers" and Wayde Russeller & G-Unit became "The Upper Echelon 2.0". As well as the existing teams around like The Senatorial Stable and Whitesnake then there's everyone left who hasn't piled into groups. ACW is turning into No Mans Land and between OCW, Upper Echelon, Senatorial Stable, Road Steelers and White Snake, all those in between are in direct firing line as these units battle for supremacy. So now, back to my original point, here is The Top 10 Superstars for this week.
Goodnight Flight
Wayde Russeller - While Wayde had quite a night as new chairman, his lack of a match or any real physical confrontation cost him a place this week. Maybe next week he will rise again and return bursting into the Impact Meter scene.
In Line of Sight
Mr. Red - Picking up a highly impressive win against Jonny Hughes, if the Entertainment Champion can pull off victories and not repeat the flop that was his survival in The 7 Deadly Sins Match we may just see Mr. Red move up in the world, especially on The Impact Meter.
The Debasers (Henry McKaye & A.C. Evans) - The highly impressive duo that have been sending shockwaves across ACW, Henry McKaye if he had beaten Senator would've made Number 6 at least for the shock victory, however he did not and didn't get a place but he DID impress somewhat and may have a future if he keeps up what he's doing well.
Bryce - The Epitome of Athleticism made his on-screen debut this past show and although he has yet to debut in the ring, his mouth made quite the first impression. Clearly obsessed with himself, the young up and comer Bryce claims he can beat anyone but his first big challenge lies ahead of him. He has not been booked in a match yet but sources say he'll debut within the next two weeks. If he wins, naturally he'll be in contention for a Impact Meter Spot.
Number 10: XS3
Last Week: 10.
Movement: None.
Last Week: 10.
Movement: None.
This week, the former Exemplar had a big match with Jake Steele. The two went to a ball-busting finish which could've gone either way but Seymour McFadden decided to rear his ugly head once again with the killer of X's first wife, Hatchett. After Hatchett attacked X and laid him out on the floor looking to deal out the finishing shot, Steele offered to finish it for him appearing to align with McFadden and Hatchett but the tables turned as XS3 and Steele subdued the killer Hatchett and McFadden. XS3 went ballistic after the whole ordeal and is now on the warpath to put away McFadden and Hatchett... for once and for all.
Number 9: Jay Zero
Last Week: 5.
Movement: -4.
Last Week: 5.
Movement: -4.
Jay Zero plummets down the ladder as an inactive week is out-trumped by a highly active, world-shaking week from the rest of the Power 10. Jay although having completely lost his mind and having shaven his hair having a new obsession with the fans, he did not compete. This Thursday, Zero is doing an open challenge to try and get a win and some momentum rolling but how that will play out is anyone's guess.
Number 8: G-Unit
Last Week: N/R
Movement: +3.
Last Week: N/R
Movement: +3.
G-Unit had a Hell of a week, defeating Alex Gonzales and Jason Cage and then aligning with Wayde Russeller to form "The Upper Echelon V2" in a counter-bid to OCW trying to take over and call the shots. G-Unit won decisively and then rocked the world revealing that alot of coded messages appearing recently was caused by them. On the next show, The Upper Echelon takes on Jake Cheng & The Debasers of OCW to try and garner some more momentum in the tag division as well as lower OCW's morale. If they prevail, expect a big leap in The Power 10 for both of them.
Number 7: "Senator" Steve Phillips
Last Week: 9.
Movement: +2.
Last Week: 9.
Movement: +2.
After a brutal and epic match with Henry McKaye on the main event of Monday Night Warfare, Philips triumphed even with the heavy burden of the eyes and mouths of Jake Cheng and BK London at the commentary desk who had "commandeered it" against McNally and Edison's will. Senator doled out the final blow to McKaye with a vicious Partisan Kick for the 123. However, afterwards he was attacked by The Newly Formed OCW where they then announced a new era in which ACW would become OCW and that things would be changing, drastically. After the brutal attack it is no doubt Steve will have something to say about the situation.
Number 6: Jake Steele
Last Week: 8.
Movement: +2.
Last Week: 8.
Movement: +2.
This week, Jake Steele takes a leap after saving XS3 from a vicious attack from a murderer called Hatchett. Jake, assumedly about to finish off XS3 as Seymour McFadden and Hatchett beat him down like a dog turned on Hatchett destroying him with the chair sending the monster flying out of the ring while Seymour ran for the hills, Jake also pretended to be Chef. On Thursday, Jake Steele takes on Dan White with Thunder Train and Rattlesnake in their corners respectively. If Jake can get a win over one half of the tag team champions just like Thunder Train did this week it could mean big things for The Road Steelers. Tune in Thursday to see how that develops.
Number 5: Thunder Train
Last Week: 6.
Movement: +1.
Last Week: 6.
Movement: +1.
Thunder Train sorely impressed the audiences as he put away Rattlesnake for the 3-count with his new finishing move, The Om Nom Bomb in a hard-fought battle. With a victory over one half of the tag team champions, the ball is now in Steele's court to get them each singles victories over both the champs then they will be almost guaranteed a title shot. Thunder Train is coming off strong with a win against Jason Freeman and Rattlesnake and it can be only a matter of time before The Train's never ending appetite is dealt with by the taste of championship gold.
Number 4: Dan White
Last Week: 4.
Movement: None.
Last Week: 4.
Movement: None.
Dan doesn't move up nor down, he spent most of the show getting up in BK London's face wherever possible, irritating him to the maxium extreme with his unique brand of English Trash-Talk. After that, BK and Dan went their seperate ways and Dan reappeared later in the night to address the fans about how great his tag title reign is when Upper Echelon came out. The two exchanged smack talk but Wayde Russeller threatened to fire Dan if he did not leave the ring so Dan left without any fussy. Next week, Dan faces off against Jake Steele, if Dan loses it'll practically gurantee a title shot for The Road Steeler at some time in the future. Dan is becoming highly dangerous lately and not to be trifled with though. Where does he go from here?
Number 3: Jake Cheng
Last Week: 3.
Movement: None.
Last Week: 3.
Movement: None.
Jake Cheng had a week off this week but keeps his place because of his stable formation wtih BK London, The Debasers and Stephan Russo this week as OCW came to full, delicious fruition. The power those 5 have is hefty and are definitely a force to avoid in OCW, oh and if that wasn't enough. He also inducted himself into the Hall of Fame alongside BK London and took over the commentary table by force... alongside BK London.
Number 2: Scott Andrews
Last Week: 1.
Movement: -1.
Last Week: 1.
Movement: -1.
Scott Andrews while not active in the ring got up to alot. He had a nice friendly discussion with Chairman Gingerdude about his future, he then conducted an interview with Kevin Anderson. Now, next week he faces off against The Six-String Shogun Danny Mainer, who while in a bit of a rough patch as of late with his Win/Loss, has never lost to Scott Andrews in the past 2 times they've fought. Will that remain the same though with Scott's new filled confidence after winning The 7 Deadly Sins match with Danny seemingly on a downhill slope? If Scott wins on Monday he will be straight back to 1 but if Danny wins he will no doubt be making his first apperance on The Impact Meter. Only time will tell what happens on that outcome.
Number 1: BK London
Last Week: 2.
Movement: +1.
Last Week: 2.
Movement: +1.
Although he did not compete today, he laid the smackdown on Senator, took hostage of the commentary table, inducted himself into the Hall of Fame, traded smacktalk with Dan White and rocked the world with the revolution of drawing Top Draw, Stephan Russo and The Debasers into one stable collectively known as "OCW". As the World Heavyweight Champ, he is surrounded by 3 of the finest fighters in the industry protecting him and he Stephan Russo on his side. This of course, leads him to be quite possibly the most powerful man in ACW currently.
