Notes: Simply put, this was the biggest and best independent wrestling show to run in San Antonio since the late 1970's as the most dynamic promotion in independent wrestling teamed up with the promotion which is revolutionizing Texas wrestling. Prior to the show Ian Rotten came out and greeted the crowd. He also made the sad announcement that Homicide's mother had suffered a stroke this morning; therefore the announced match against Necro Butcher would be changed. Necro's new opponent was to be Masada. [The Scene would like to extend our thoughts & prayers to Homicide and his family and to wish his mother well on behalf of the fans in San Antonio.]

San Antonio wrestlers appearing on the card stepped up to show that they deserved to receive national respect and were clearly motivated to deliver a good performance. When the DVD release from SmartMark Video comes out soon, the wrestlers of Anarchy Championship Wrestling will be receive national exposure.

In the first match, One Man Mike Dell was pressed to the limit by xOMGx, clearly underestimating the masked man who was trained by American Kickboxer at the R.A.A.G.E Dojo. Fans supported xOMGx in this match, but when Dell hit his finisher "The One Timer," that was the end of the match.

In the next match, Joey Ryan was set to face former IWA light heavyweight champion Josh Abercrombie, however Abercrombie missed a connecting flight from Colorado. Ryan instead earned a shot at ACW Heavyweight Champions "Showtime" Summers' title. The crowd was mixed in their support of these two charismatic competitors. Ryan pressed Summers, but Showtime, who has beaten a stellar list of challengers since winning the ACW belt in January, proved up to the challenge.

The women's title match came damn close to stealing the show as "The Scream Queen" Daffney Unger showed that she was not just a hot babe in her challenge against Champion Mickie Knuckles. On a show entitled "Sunday Bloody Sunday", it was Knuckles who was first to bleed when she hit a ringpost outside the ring. In perhaps the most unusual submission attempts ever, Daffney almost smothered Knuckles between her breasts. When Mickie escaped, she responded with double clawholds to Daffney's breasts. Following a vicious head but, Daffney ducked a shining wizard kick but Mickie's momentum allowed her to roll up Daffney for the pin. Ian Rotten came out afterward and praised Daffney for her wrestling, prompting the first chant of "Please come back!" of the evening from the appreciative crowd.

Next on the card, Roderick Strong had been scheduled to face Davey Richards, however the promotion in Europe where Richards had been wrestling failed to get Richards the correct ticket, delaying his return to the US and forcing Richards to miss this show. ACW's Bio-Hazard Jaykus Plisken was more than willing to step in and face Strong. Roderick Strong, who is known as "the messiah of the backbreaker" and who is well known for his powerful chops came after Bio-Hazard hard, but Plisken did a good job of avoiding the chops and the devastating back breakers for the majority of the match. Plisken's power wore on Roderick throughout the match and appeared set to hit the "Pray for Death" finisher when Strong was able to deflect the move and hit the only backbreaker of the night. It was enough to put Bio-Hazard down for the 3 count and Strong left with the victory.

Following the intermission, the two largest men in Anarchy Championship Wrestling got the opportunity to show their skills to the fans in attendance and those who will view the show later on DVD. Massive and Rexx Reed, who had almost teamed up to win the ACW belts the previous night put their friendship aside for the sake of this match. Rarely does one find super-heavyweights like these men with the agility and skills of men half their size, so the action was faster and more impactful than a typical super-heavyweight match. In an amazing moment, The Xtreme Bulldawg Rexx Reed lifted the aptly named Massive high up for a powerslam that rattled the building and resulted in the pin and victory for Reed.

While what had come up to this point would have been considered an outstanding show from any promotion, the next three matches took the action to a level higher than anyone could have imagined. It was these 3 matches that raised this show to epic proportions as only IWA Mid-South and Anarchy Championship Wrestling could.

In what would be a main event on any card anywhere in the world, the next match featured Hotstuff Hernandez facing Low Ki. Although considerably smaller than the "300 lb Tex-Mex T-Rex," Low Ki was not about to back down from any man. It is doubtful however, that Low Ki has faced many men who were able to absorb more of his high impact offense than did Hernandez. Hotstuff dominated much of the match, but Low Ki continued to come back, prompting the first of several "This is Awesome!" chants from the enthusiastic crowd. Eventually, Low Ki hit some amazing kicks to Hernandez's head and body stunning the big man and gaining the victory. The crowd went wild, rarely having seen local favorite Hernandez beaten in any manner.

Next up was the anticipated match-up between Necro Butcher and Masada. These two men have had a hatred for close to 6 years which had come to a head in Japan in 2005. With Necro Butcher moving back to Texas last year and Masada spending half of his time in Texas it was only a matter of time before these men met up again. The two men wasted little time in unleashing on one another with a ferocity that stunned the crowd. The crowd was strongly behind Masada and cheered enthusiastically as the action spilled out of the ring to the floor and Masada began to assert his dominance over the Butcher. Necro Butcher however has a tolerance for pain and abuse that defies all logic. Such violence as contained in this match does not always translate to the written word, so no such attempt will be made here, but when Masada hit the Masadamizer from the ring apron through several chairs set up on the floor, the match appeared all but over. Still, after it took 4 men to lift and roll Necro into the ring, Masada just couldn't get the pin as no matter what he did, Necro managed to kick out. Therefore, when Necro was able to recover enough to mount an offense of his own, it was a shock to everyone in the building and when Hotstuff Hernandez came to the ring distracting both men, Necro managed a quick roll up on Masada and grab the pin the crowd erupted in amazed cheers. But the celebration didn't last as Hernandez rushed the ring attacking Necro Butcher. Before Hernandez could position Necro for a border toss, Low Ki rushed in, apparently to make the save. Instead, Low Ki kicked Necro in the face and Hernandez and Low Ki started to double team the fallen Necro Butcher until Masada of all people chased them off. In one of the high points of the night, Masada and Necro Butcher showed each other the respect and the appeared to have settled their differences. The two then headed, not to the locker room but to the bar.

The only match which could have followed this was the main event, a four team battle for the ACW tag team titles. The first team to enter the ring, Chuey Martinez with Sexy Stevi Koi and Homeless Hugh Rogue has hade issues with each other over the last few months and had battled in some incredibly violent matches recently. They did not seem to have their differences fully settled as both men appeared to be threatening the other to not screw up in this match. The next team to enter was the Naptown Dragons, Diehard Dustin Lee and Vortekz. Third out was the team of Ian Rotten and Drake Younger. Finally the ACW Tag Champs, The Children of Pain came out. The crowd responded enthusiastically to Jacob Ladder and Darin Childs who were accompanied to the ring by Rachel Summerlyn. Action exploded immediately as four separate battles erupted and spread throughout the building. Nearly every manner of weapon imaginable was used in this match as light tubes, thumbtacks, baseball bats, dozens of yards of barb wires, steal chairs, tables, kendo sticks and kendo sticks wrapped in barbwire with thumbtacks and light tubes came into play. Plainly put it was impossible to keep up with all the action. The match appeared to be over when Ian Rotten pinned Vortekz. Rotten and Younger were announced as the new champions, but Drake Younger was so caught up in the moment that he stated that the match should continue with elimination rules. Rotten was shocked at his partner's impetuous statement, but before he could object the referee sanctioned the stipulation and the match continued with the three remaining teams. Moments later, Darin Childs and Chuey Martinez climbed the balcony and fought for position over the makeshift tables set up 12 feet below them. When Childs gained the advantage he hit an Ace Cutter from the balcony through the tables and Chuey was quickly eliminated. This left two teams, the defending champions Childs and Ladder and the two men who had seemed to have already won the belts, Ian Rotten and Drake Younger. More light tubes appeared as if by magic and the violence continued without letup. When Jacob Ladder hit a tombstone piledriver on Ian Rotten onto a box of light tubes, the final pinfall was counted and the Children of Pain were once again the Anarchy Championship Wrestling Tag Team Title Holders.

After the match, the ring area was cleared and fans were invited back into the bar to party into the night with the wrestlers. Any attempt to document the activities from the after party would be ill-advised. Suffice to say that the action did not end with the final bell.

Fans in San Antonio would like to thank Ian Rotten, Jim Fannin, and all of the people from IWA Mid-South for helping to bring this event to Texas. We would like to thank all of the talent who performed for our entertainment. Most of all, we would like to thank Anarchy Championship Wrestling for changing the way we think about what indy wrestling can be. Check out these web pages for information on this and other shows -
