Poughkeepsie Rumble to crown the first-ever ACW Champion
Richard Holiday and Wrecking Ball Legursky started out, drawing #1 and 2. They battled back and forth.
#3 was Tony Devito!
Devito and Legursky took turned pounding away on Holliday. Legursky had some stiff chops. Holliday was punished for a bit.
Mike Gallagher came out. He came out to Sade's Smooth Operator. He went right after Devito with an axe-handle but was crushed by Legursky. Everyone fought,
Leo Sparrow was next. Everyone battled. Rick Recon was next. Then Vargas. Everyone fought. Devito was attacking people on the floor. Keith Youngblood was next. Is he related to Mark and Jay? Legursky wiped out Vargas with a hip attack in the corner. They are both big men.
They have a countdown clock on the screen and the crowd is loving counting down on the entrances.
Landon Hale was next. He hit some nice offensive maneuvers.
The next competitor was Spoor. Yes, that's the name and how it's spelled. Dante Casanova was next. Holliday was choking Devito with his wrist tape.
The Monster Kerry was next. He decimated some of the competitors. Joe Ocasio was next out.
Next was, I kid you not, The Patriot (Tom Brandi!) Devito tried to tell him that he watched The Patriot on TV when he was a kid. He still got clobbered.
Fixx Vinyer and Andy Bivens were the next competitors. Traxx then made his way to the ring. Dominic Denaro was next.
#19 was TNA's Bryan Myers, a surprise. He began tossing competitors.
The final competitor was Brad Baylor.
Everyone battles.
It came down to Legursky, Myers, Holliday and Baylor. Myers and Baylor were tossed, leaving us right where we started...
They are now doing one fall for a conclusive finish - Holiday vs. Legursky.
The crowd chanted for Wrecking Ball. He shoulderblocked Holliday down several times. Holliday came back and scored the pin with a lariat.
The crowd really wanted Wrecking Ball to win, but it was not to be!
Your winner and first ACW Champion, Richard Holliday!
A video played with Matt Cardona saying he was the belt collector and is always ready. He announced he was coming to challenge Holliday for the ACW Championship on 5/17
TNA Champion Nic Nemeth vs. Matt Riddle for the first time ever.
Big reactions for each during their entrances and ring introductions. Lots of "Bro" chants. They had some good back and forth wrestling early on. Riddle tried to come off the ropes but was dropkicked in mid-air. Nemeth nailed some right hands and strikes in the corner and slid Riddle's face down the ropes. Riddle blocked a shot and fired back with his own. Nemeth took control and used his boot to smother Riddle in the corner.
Nemeth locked on a sleeper and tried to force Riddle out. They went down to the mat, where Nemeth scissored his body but Riddle forced his way to his feet and tossed Nemeth over. Nemeth rebounded with a big dropkick for a two count. Riddle came back to snatch him in an armbar but Nemeth made it to the ropes and when they faced off, drilled Riddle. Nemeth locked in a side headlock. Riddle fought back and drilled him with a kick to the chest and a leaping punch. Riddle came off the ropes with a twisting moonsault for a two count.
Riddle went back up for another but Nemeth moved and superkicked him for a close two count. Riddle came back with a leaping knee strike for a close two count. They exchanged strikes. Riddle nailed a powerbomb but Nemeth caught him with the ZigZag for a close two count. They battled back and forth. The crowd chanted, "This is awesome." Nemeth snatched Riddle in a forward roll for the pin.
Your winner and still TNA Champion Nic Nemeth!
