"ACW Returns To Rocky Mt." Change of Venue - Moves to the Heart of Downtown Rocky Mt. to The Farmer's Market at Citizen Square
Unfortunately we will be leaving Franklin County High School and moving to different venues due to keeping the ticket prices down so everyone can afford old school wrestling and good family entertainment, plus because another wrestling group is using the High School trying to confuse the ACW fans, so ACW and our sponsor "WE CARE" thought it would be best to move from there so if it's at the Franklin County High School for now it will not be ACW, so don't be confused. We started with the National Guard Armory and we had a packed house, a bigger crowd that we ever hoped for, so to Thank all our fans we will have our next event in the heart of Rocky Mt. at the Farmer's Market at Ciizen Square following the Post Race Festivities of the Pigg River Ramble. Farmer's Market at Citizen Square Sat. June 7, Bell Time 8:15 pm Rocky Mount, Va "We Care" Proudly Sponsors American Championship Wrestling

American Championship Wrestling started back Aug. 1, 2006 under it's own banner and will be promoting their own shows again. We started in 1988 and have promoted our own shows til we tried to run under someone else the last couple of years, but now it was time to go back to the good old days of old school wrestling like it should be. However we have reached an agreement to also co-run some shows with Mid-Eastern Championship Wrestling and National Independent Championship Wrestling, MCW is an old-school wrestling group that was promoting in the 80's and has started back up and is run by Chief Navajo and we're looking forward to working with them, they will tun under the ACW banner, NICW is a group out of Floyd ,Va and has been running for a couple of years now and we also are looking forward to working with them. The matches from our first show back under our own banner on Sept. 30, 2006 in Roanoke, VA went very well!! We only had music in several, selective Matches. ACW is pleased to say ,no static from anyone and the crowd did not seem to care or notice much.We started at 8:15 sharp and only 6 matches,1 -15 min intermission and it was all over by 10:20pm. A solid two hour show just like old school was, Good Old Family Entertainment, We also started implementing the old great NWA,Mid Atlantic rules that night. We want to hear your comments and ideas, use the ACW forum button below to go to the ACW message board and let us know what you think. Also we have a mini-poll to the left if you want to answer "The Question on Everyone's Mind".
Sgt. Nelson wins Title and Weaver says It's Lights Out for Eclipso & Wentworth!
**ACW would like to say Special Thanks to Thom Brewer for this video**
Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Appeared at the ACW Wrestling show on Saturday 11/3/2007 Johnny Weaver • Sandy Scott • Don Kernodle • Jim Nelson Rocky Kernodle • Ric McCord To witness the Legendary Eclipso with Douglas J. Wentworth III, Esq. meet head-on with the Legend Johnny Weaver Eclipso and Wentworth couldn't help themselves from signing a contract when Johnny offered them the chance of a Life Time They thought they were signing to defend the Universal Heavyweight Title against Johnny Weaver but were studded when Weaver had tricked them, saying the name on the contract was Sgt. Jim Nelson's, after winning the title Johnny Weaver came to give Nelson his belt when Eclipso would try to sucker punch him only to hear Weaver's favorite song "Turn Out The Lights - The Party's Over" Saddly Johnny passed away Feb. of this year 2008, We were all so fortunate to have had this night with him, and as far as we know this was the last Sleeper Hold in the ring by Johnny Weaver, he is greatly missed!



In keeping with the old school - Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Rules, we thought the fans would like this " Tribute to Ric Flair"
Check out Boris Zhukov in the WWF's Saturday Nite's Main Event, when the video ends check the last frame at the bottom for the 1987 10 man Battle Royal.
OLD SCHOOL RULES ARE BACK! No Intentional Throwing Opponent Over The Top Rope Failing To Break An Illegal Hold Before The Referee's Five Count The "One Save Rule" in Tag Team Matches Some of the rules we all grew up with that actually made a little sense when enforced are back when you attend an ACW wrestling show.
***One rule that will be added to this list - The Universal TV Title must be won in a TV time limit of 15 minutes, unless stated otherwise... example would be if the TV Champion is in a 20 or 30 minute match, he can only lose the TV Title in the first 15 minutes of the match, so if he were to be pinned in say....18 minutes he would lose the match but not the Title.
It's back - Take a look into the past as we check though our old pictures of ACW SuperStars Past and Present, checkout FLASHBACK!
