“ACW Live!”
Allen County War Memorial
Ft. Wayne, IN
1/3/12
Craig Johnson opens the show.
Johnson, “Welcome to Ft. Wayne, IN, one of the original ACW cities! What a show we have for you tonight. We will have fallout from the New Year’s Eve show, the Steiners will defend the tag team titles against a new tag team, and we have a six man main event, we think. I’ll talk to Harley Race about that later. First let’s bring out ‘The Franchise’ and both of his ladies.”
Shane Douglas comes out with Kimberly on one arm and Francine on the other.
Johnson, “Well let’s get to the big question, Francine, why?”
Francine, “Why? Why I left that ‘boy’ Mikey and joined ‘Team Franchise’, you can’t be that stupid. Sure I started out with Mikey, I felt sorry for him, but he didn’t live up to my standards, in the ring and out. Now I’m with a real man.”
Johnson, “Kimberly what do you think of this?”
Douglas, “What’s the difference what she thinks? The ‘Franchise’ is headed to the top, and these two ladies are going to be with me when I beat Scorpio and win the American Heavyweight Championship!”
Johnson, “Well it’s interesting you should say that. I think we will have some news, later in the program that will interest you.”
Douglas, “What, what have you heard?”
Johnson, “I’m not sure, but we have a big announcement later in the program. Now let’s see the ‘Franchise’ in action.”
Match #1
Shane Douglas w/Kimberly and Francine def. J.T. Smith, w/Pittsburgh plunge
Match #2
Johnny Smith def. The Masked Avenger, w/missile dropkick
Todd Pettengill is with Harley Race.
Pettengill, “There seems to be some dissent in your organization.”
Race, “Who are you Geraldo Rivera? Don’t worry about my men.”
Pettengill, “Let’s see what happened in Saginaw, MI, at the Civic Center, this week.”
We see highlights of Demolition Ax wrestling Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer catches Ax in the sleeper. Race enters the ring and hits Dreamer. Referee Jack Doane disqualifies Ax, who then argues with Race and finally decks him.
Pettengill, “The word I have is Ax packed his bags and left ACW after this incident. That leaves your team one man short for the six man tag team match tonight. I have also heard that Gary Albright is not here tonight, so he can’t take Ax’s place.”
Race, “Aren’t you just full of information tonight. Pettengill write this down, I will have three men tonight and the third man I am adding will shock the wrestling world how’s that for a scoop?”
Pettengill, “That is big news. I can’t wait to see who it is. Now let’s go to the ring and see the Steiner Brothers defend the American Tag Team Titles against the new team of Adam Bomb and Maxx Payne.”
Match #3
American Tag Team Championship
The Steiner Brothers (Champions) def. Adam Bomb and Maxx Payne, w/Steinerizer vs. Payne
Match #4
The Sandman def. Charlie Norris, w/Russian leg sweep
Pettengill is with Inspector Whippleman and his men and woman.
Pettengill, “Inspector Whippleman the addition of Akira Hokuto and Kensuke Sasaki has made your group even stronger. The wrestling world is talking about it.”
Whippleman, “You mean they’re quaking in fear. The ‘Dangerous Queen’ is the greatest womens wrestler of all time, and she works for me, Masahiro Chono are the greatest Japanese imports since the transistor, and they work for me, the Quebecers are the next American Tag Team Champions, and they work for me. That’s why everyone fears me!”
Pettengill, “You mentioned the Quebecers and the American Tag Team Title. We will have some information later in the program that will interest you.”
Whippleman, “What are you talking about Pettengill? Don’t be coy with me.”
Pettengill, “Later Inspector, later.”
Whippleman, “Pettengill I’ve had about enough of you. My men are are going to the ring and when they finish, they may come after you.”
Match #5
Kensuke Sasaki w/Akira Hokuto and Inspector Whippleman def. Scott D’Amore, w/Northern Lights bomb
Match #6
The Quebecers w/Inspector Whippleman def. Duane Gill and Barry Hardy, Jacques w/Quebec crab vs. Gill
Pettengill is with Tommy Dreamer and the Gangstas.
Pettengill, “Gentlemen you were scheduled to meet Harley Race’s threesome of 911, One Man Gang and Demolition Ax. We know, now, that Ax is gone. Race says he has a replacement, and it’s not Gary Albright. What’s going on?”
Dreamer, “Race is up to something, we know that. It doesn’t matter what he does, or who he brings in. New Jack, Mustafa and I are ready for anything he throws at us.”
New Jack, “That fool Race, Ax knocked him on his butt and left him. Now he thinks he’s got some secret weapon, it don’t matter. Like Dreamer said, we ready for anyone at any time!”
Pettengill, “Let’s go to the ring.”
Match #7
Six Man Tag Team Match
Tommy Dreamer and the Gangstas vs. One Man Gang, 911, and ? w/Harley Race
Dreamer and the Gangstas wait in the ring. Race, One Man Gang and 911 come to the ring. Race takes the mike.
Race, “Look, Gang and 911 could beat these three idiots without any help, but just to make it interesting, I have someone to team with them. Ax thought he was important, I replaced him with a legend…Abdullah the Butcher!”
Abdullah comes down the ramp and joins Race and his men.
The match is a brawl. The Gangstas fight fire with fire and the “never say die” Dreamer fights as well. The Butcher stays on the apron for much of the match, but when he tags in, he is his usual vicious self. Referee Jim Molineaux is distracted by the others allowing Abdullah to pull out a foreign object and K.O. New Jack. The Butcher covers him and Molineaux turns to count the fall. Harley Race has not missed a beat!
Winners-One Man Gang, 911 and Abdullah the Butcher
Johnson and Pettengill are seated in front over a covered sign.
Johnson, “Oh my! Abdullah the Butcher with Harley Race, what a coup for the former seven time World Champion. Now you are probably wondering what this is behind us. Todd and I are about to tell you. ACW ran its first Pay Per View in October and it was a huge success. Well if one is great, two is twice as nice.”
Pettengill removes the covering to reveal a logo which reads “February Fury”.
Johnson, “’February Fury’, even the name sounds exciting. Now February for most people in the North is furious because of the weather. February for ACW is going to be furious because of the action, but the weather may not be a problem. We will be at the beautiful Sundome on the campus of the University of South Florida in Tampa, on Sunday night, February 11. Now many times wrestling organizations make you wait weeks to know the main event of a big event, not us, Todd Pettengill will announce three big matches for ‘February Fury’.”
Pettengill, “Thank you Craig. We are dropping three big bombshells tonight. We have three big matches signed. First of all, in a rematch from last week, Akira Hokuto will defend the ‘Red Belt’ against Alundra Blayze. We know that Alundra will have to contend with not only one of the best female wrestlers in history, but also Inspector Whippleman and Kensuke Sasaki. We have another title up for grabs, and Inspector Whippleman has his fingers in this one, as well. The Quebecers will challenge the Steiner Brothers for the American Tag Team Championship. If that’s not enough, the ‘Big One’ in one the line. 2 Cold Scorpio will defend the American Heavyweight Title against the ‘Franchise’ Shane Douglas and his two lovely ladies. What a night.”
Johnson, “That’s three great matches right there and more will be added in the coming weeks. Mark February 11 on your calendars. Don’t forget to join us next week from our Nation’s capital. ACW comes to Washington D.C.!”
