Anniversary Show
LIVE from the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center
Charleston, WV
Attendance: 13,500 SOLD OUT
“Hello and welcome to Appalachian Championship Wrestling’s 3rd anniversary show! I’m Gordon Solie and we have an amazing card for you tonight!! All 4 of ACW’s titles are on the line! Ranger Ross defends his newly won Television title against Val Venis. We’ll see Tina Moretti defend the Women’s title in a triple threat match against Sherri Martel and Melina. The Road Warriors defend the Tag team belts against the Russian team of Volkoff and Zhukov. Our main event will see the Russian leader, Ivan Koloff, with Alexis Smirnoff in his corner, challenge Magnum T.A. for the ACW Heavyweight title! Let’s go to the ring for our opening match.”
“Dirty” Dutch Mantel vs Tracy Smothers
Mantel vs Smothers ends in a time limit draw
(This match was better than I expected. Both men hit multiple finishers but couldn’t score the 3 count. 3.5 stars.)
“Our next match is a triple threat match for the ACW Women’s championship. Tina Moretti puts her belt up against two of the best in the business in Melina and Sherri Martel. Let’s go back down to the ring.”
ACW Women’s Championship
Melina vs Sherri Martel vs Tina Moretti(c)
Sherri Martel defeats Melina and Tina Moretti to become the NEW ACW Women’s champion after hitting her Top Rope Slash finisher on Moretti to score the pinfall. After the match, the Fabulous Moolah attacked Martel from behind beating her down.
“Moolah is here in ACW!! She just put Sherri Martel on notice that her sights are set on the ACW Women’s title.”
A Video of Ranger Ross’s upset TV title win over Alexis Smirnoff is shown.
“Up next Ranger Ross defends his newly won ACW Television title against Val Venis. Let’s go back down to the ring.”
ACW Television Championship
Val Venis vs Ranger Ross(c)
Ranger Ross defeats Val Venis by disqualification after Referee Joey Marella caught Venis hitting Ross with a steel chair.
“Up next the ACW Tag Titles are on line as The Road Warriors are set to defend the belts against the Russian team of Volkoff and Zhukov. A few weeks ago, the Russians attacked the Road Warriors, challenging them for the belts. Last week the Road Warriors retaliated by attacking the Russians, then giving their answer!! This one should be a pier six brawl!! Let’s go back down to the ring!!”
ACW Tag Team Championships
Road Warriors(c) with Paul Ellering vs The Russians (Volkoff and Zhukov)
Volkoff and Zhukov defeat the Road Warriors by disqualification when referee Dick Whorle disqualified Animal for body slamming Volkoff through the announcer’s table. (This match was a wild brawl throughout. Both teams had to roll DQ’s at different points.)
“Although the Russians won the match, ACW rules state that a title can not change hands on a disqualification.”
“Now it’s time for our main event of the night. Magnum T.A. defends his ACW Heavyweight Championship against the Russian Bear, Ivan Koloff with Alexis Smirnoff in his corner. Ivan has promised to bring the belt back to the Kremlin. Can Magnum stop the Russian’s assault, or will the ACW Heavyweight title fall under Russian control? Let’s go back to the ring and find out.”
ACW Heavyweight Championship
Magnum T.A.(c) vs Ivan Koloff with Alexis Smirnoff
Magnum T.A. defeats Ivan Koloff by pinfall after hitting his Belly to Belly Suplex finisher. (Magnum hit his finisher, and went for the pin. Smirnoff gets in the ring attempting a clothesline. Magnum ducks Smirnoff’s clothesline, and tosses Smirnoff out of the ring, then turns to see Ivan staggering to his feet. As Ivan gets up, he turns right into another Belly to Belly Suplex finisher by Magnum which scored the pinfall.
“What a way to top off an amazing night of ACW action!! We’ll see everyone back at the KFBE Channel 9 Studio next week!!”
