10. Gary Jay vs Thomas Shire (Guilty by Association) - For a
wrestler that trained by a Funk and a dojo Thomas Shire spent 2013 more of
henchman/bodyguard to The Business than individual wrestler. He works hard but
was just there. That changed that night when he took on Submission Squad's Gary
Jay, accomplished wrestler who been around the nation with his group of
bandits. A bounced check to The Business and missing Bolt Brady put Shire in
this match. Match started out with basics before kicking it in high gear. Both
fought hard with Shire over powering Jay at times that crowd got behind him.
Each would attempt to finish each other off with their finisher only to kick
out and fight back some more. A second Fly by Night scored Gary Jay the
victory. Jay, being dastardly guy, gave Shire a handshake and a hug before
kicking him in the groin in the post match. This match made Thomas Shire stood
out on his own. The way he manhandle and overpower Gary Jay at times got the
fans backing him. He went from looking goofy to mad serious in the ring. It
took underrated and accomplished Gary Jay bring that side to the fans.

9. Matthew Palmer vs Darin Childs (Guilty by Association) -
thinking outside the box made this match. Remember Simpson episode where Homer
and Bart's Big Brother fought each other throughout Springfield? This what happened as this
started before the show brawling outside the Mohawk and into the streets. Then
later appeared during Miss Dislexia and Johnny Axle match factoring in the
finish of the match to battling all the way to the back. Then pop back up
during intermission and fought to destruction and plunder all over the ring
with Palmer taking the match. Now the question after the match did Childs
succeed in his mission to bring Son of Anarchy out of Palmer? Not likely at
this moment, but time will tell.

| Look who won the rubber match and made you my bitch |
8. Shawn Vexx vs Davey Vega (Absence of Law) - on and off
feud between Vexx and Vega now stretch heavyweight title match. Vexx walks in
the match as champion while Vega wanting put the belt back on Submission Squad
side. A rubber match between the two as both has one win on each other. Vega
showed his vicious streak from the start pounding on Vexx all over the ring. Vexx
fought back valiantly as both battle back and forth. At the end Vexx got Vega
pin to retain heavyweight title. Despite the loss Vega gets his revenge kicking
him below after the match and stealing the belt which was never seen til seven
months later.

| Going out to a big bang |
7. Masada vs Shawn Vexx
(From Innocence to Insanity) - Shawn Vexx enter the event as heavyweight
champion. His challenger is Masada, a
hybrid-style wrestler that has traveled around the world piling his trade. The
only time he held ACW title when he was hardcore champion for two years. These
two went at it hard as they mat and power wrestle each other using surrounding
chairs at their personal playground. Masada
would stick his trademark skewers on Vexx and dropping him down the mat.
Despite it all Vexx continue fight back like a champion he is using remaining
strength and power left. Masada was too much
for Vexx making submit to a crossface to win heavyweight title. New reign
emerges with Masada leading the company. It
was end for Vexx as he called it quits after the match. It was short-lived
retirement as he returned back to the ring and recharged five months later to
help Darin Childs out in his feud with Paul London and the Swarm.

| Pfft! I need no motivation! |
6. Masada vs Cherry Ramons vs A.C.H. (Lone Star Classic) -
ACW heavyweight Masada competing in his first
Lone Star Classic with long odds to retain the belt. No wrestler enter and left
Lone Star Classic as champion. One of his opponents is 2011 LSC winner A.C.H.
who happen to won heavyweight title at this same event. Third wrestler is
Cherry Ramons in, not only first LCS, but second ACW appearance. Ramons went in
the match as x-factor with a question can he hang with both wrestlers. Match
started with both wrestlers not taking Ramons seriously even with A.C.H. giving
him encouragement. Despite the mocking it took minutes for Ramons showed he can
hang with both of them. The trio had impressive match with Ramons shockingly
stole a pin on A.C.H. after Masada gave him
Masada-mizer. Masada and Ramons battled all over the ring with Masada taking the win retaining heavyweight title and
putting himself in semifinals. For Ramons this was coming out party and getting
pin on A.C.H. got one-on-one match at Delusions of Our Childish Days.

| The fall of a champion |
5. Shawn Vexx vs Evan Gelistico (Guilty by Association) -
Evan Gelistico spent a year as heavyweight champion disrespecting the belt the
entire time only using it as his power play. Shawn Vexx, once a former
heavyweight champion, has battled back from hell with a burning desire. When
Gelistico wanted give him the belt Vexx found it disrespectful and would rather
fight for it. Their first battle ended with Submission Squad interfering and
Gelistico keeping the belt. Cue six months down the line at Lone Star Classic
finals when Vexx had Davey Vega beat only to have the Squad interfere with Vega
winning it. Tired of Submission Squad interfering Vexx put his career on the
line to face Gelistico for heavyweight title in a cage match, a first in ACW
history. Big time feel as both came out to epic entrances. Both of them brawled
and used elements of the cage slamming and throwing each other on it. Gelistico
trying to escape only get slammed of top of the cage. Gelistico realize to end
Vexx career he must put him out with two tombstones. Only problem Vexx refuse
to die and fought back with vengeance hitting Gelistico with his own tombstone.
Just as Squad try interfere The Business stopped them before any of them got
inside the cage. Once Vexx hooked Gelistco in MMA style armbar submission
Gelistico couldn't do anything but to tap out. Shawn Vexx leaves the cage as
heavyweight champion ending Gelistico year reign.

| The loss of innocence after the insanity |
4. Scot Summers vs Jack Jameson (From Innocence to Insanity)
- billed as "most violent night" in wrestling this match pushed the
envelope as these two fought in no rope barbwire match. While this match is no
stranger to Summer this is Jameson first foray into it. He spent early part of
the match get in mad mind of Summers using his ring mannerism. Then these two
tease then lay and beat each other in this dangerous match as they gouge, cut,
slam, and threw each other in barbwire. Summers wrapped himself in it splashing
on Jameson with no regards. A chairs came into play as it gets wrapped in
barbwire and used on each other. The match ended at insane level when Summers set
the chairs on fire and death valley drivers Jameson onto for the win. After the
match painful reminder for Jack Jameson as his innocence was lost on that night
leaving scars on his back. Yet it made him stronger and insane seeking revenge
on Scot Summers costing him his matches.

| Good job! You done well, but I'm still the champ |
3. Masada vs A.C.H. (Distrust, Dismay, and Antisocial
Behavior) - two of Texas
indy greats collide for second time ever in ACW. First time was in 2010 when
Masada defeated young A.C.H. Cue four years now with heavily traveled and more
experienced A.C.H. ready to wrestle heavyweight title from Masada.
In contrast of style these two mesh well. A.C.H. goes to the air and Masada keeping him grounded. These two would trade chops,
holds, submissions, and slams throughout the match. A.C.H. reliance on the air
cost when he went for 450 only for Masada gets
his knee up and pinned him to retain the title. The grizzled veteran still
reign supreme over budding young star.

| With this handshake we will steal the show |
2. Gregory James vs Jason Silver (Distrust, Dismay, and
Antisocial Behavior) - Silver coming out on his own as singles wrestler. After
year and half away Gregory James returns to the fed transformed from "Too
Much Metal" to "Unholy" While they fought in tag matches, I
believe this is first time they tangled one-on-one. Once the match started everything
clicked all together. They laid on each other matching move-for-move and
beating-for-beating punishing each other. A well time kick to Silver made
Unholy the winner in a show stealing performance. This match elevated these two
as they were rewarded a title shot against Masada
at Beyond Good and Evil.

| The Prodigical reign begins |
1. Barrett Brown vs Matthew Palmer (Peace, Love, and
Anarchy) - for 826 days Matthew Palmer held Hardcore title fighting wrestlers
such as Rachel Summerlyn, Arik Cannon, A.C.H., Jerry Lynn, Davey Vega, and
Darin Childs. During his reign Barrett Brown enter the fed and slowly worked
his way up where he became Texas Prodigy. Now its Brown turn as he face The
Centerfold for hardcore title. These two put on straight-up wrestling match
under "hardcore" rules. They took each other in the air and on the
mat technical and power wise. These two punishing each other especially Palmer
with a tiger driver only for Brown to barrage him with kicks then using his AND
one of Palmer's finisher on him. After numerous false finishes Brown got Palmer
down with a crossface submission making him tap ending one of longest title
reigns and making of brand new one. It also add more to Brown's prodigy
character. A small knock for lack of "hardcore" he interjected
himself in a match against Masada and Scot
Summers to show he is hardcore and won. When he lost the belt he immediately
interject himself in a tournament to prove he is the prodigy. He knows being
gifted in the ring he will have a target on his back for critics over small
flaws. Best way to silence those critics is to tear down the house and prove
why is the prodigy.
