One word to describe ICU: intense. At first it put the ACW faithful on edge and they didn't know how to react as the main man responsible for keeping the intensive care unit employed began his reign of terror. Initially, ICU went head-to-head with SilverHAWK to hold on to the ACW United States Title. ICU was beaten, but soon found himself picking up the ACW Television Title, as Ethan Winters attempted to keep ICU in his group. Alas, Ethan's plan crumbled and ICU thereafter found himself fighting by HAWK's side for ACW's valour, on the heels of ICU managing to dethrone Osyrus for the ACW World Championship in a match that'll be remembered for many years to come.

Having retired with his head held high following representing Team ACW at LEGENDS I, Ivan has recently returned to the fold, wrestling for the final time against SilverHAWK at ACW's comeback show in March of 2009. After his induction into the ACW Hall of Fame, ICU delivered yet another surprise by agreeing to become the Chief of ACW's burgeoning All-Star Academy; this appointment began in February of 2010, with the second season of SHOWCASE.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
* ACW's Innovator Of The Year [2003]
* An integral member of Team ACW at LEGENDS I

The Nearly Man. His list of accolades are a list of 'almost-did-it' moments but the legacy that he left behind in ACW is one of innovation that helped change the federation into one of the more notorious of the new millennium. Hell's Gate? Best Of Se7en? Exactly.

After saving Jade from the hand's of Dante Inferno in the Hell's Gate Match, Jason Kain would put aside his lone wolf predilections and fight along side the likes of Alias, ICU and Geo Vaction as part of the team that would save ACW at LEGENDS I. Jason Kain would then battle with Osyrus, taking the man that was even then known as an ACW legend to a draw in an innovative three match series that started with a standard singles match, continued with a Parking Lot Brawl that Kain won, before ending in a Last Man Standing Match. After drawing with Osyrus, Kain would go on to fight Alias in the Best Of Se7en for the ACW World Title.

Though he would nearly win the World Championship and be unsuccessful by the thinnest of margins, Kain would propose to the woman he saved from Inferno and almost lost to the machinations of Osyrus... and Jade... would say yes. It is arguably the most heartwarming moment in ACW history, and it involved one of its violently innovative stars. Who woulda guessed it?

* ACW World Champion [x2]

* ACW's Innovator Of The Year [2002]
* ACW's All-Star Of The Year [2002]

No one better epitomized the cut-throat, smash-mouth appeal of the first two years of ACW's television age more then the main man of pain himself, Osyrus. Not only was Osyrus the first World Champion and the first two-time World Champion of the new era of ACW which began in September of 2002; but his feud with SilverHAWK for that very World Title was almost unmatched in scope and strength, involving gut-wrenching fights inside of a steel cage as well as some of the most scientific contests you could ever hope to see from a big man.

Osyrus was also, to the dismay of many of ACW's faithful, the physical force behind Winters Inc. which just so happened to be the political power of ACW for a short time. He was the Champion of the greatest evil in ACW's history... and he did it because he believed he was better then you. After losing his World Championship to ICU, and the power that Winters Inc. held in ACW to Alias, Osyrus would still go on to have some of the best matches in ACW history with the likes of Quinton May, Jason Kain and 'Superstar' Vince Jacobs; before being retired by that very Superstar.

The man who holds the distinction of wrestling in the most number of ACW events, by a wide margin, ACW's Heart and Soul has done it all. Well almost. Alias first came to ACW in 1993, debuting as 'The Tin Angel' Chris Phoenix. Not holding the best reputation as a second generation star, Phoenix was known as l'enfant terrible to those he fought against (SilverHAWK who he usurped for the ACW United States title) and those he fought with (Vintage Advantage partner and soon-to-be-storied-rival 'Superstar' Vince Jacobs). Chris Phoenix would disappear from ACW in late 1997, only to return in the closing months of 2002 as 'The Original Pulp Hero' Alias.

Alias was now a changed man, holding the scars that he had procured in the years away from ACW, on his sleeve. He was yet another new face in the glut of a major roster shake-up that had been caused by Ethan Winters, who was by then the owner with the majority of stock and veritable dictator of ACW. What Winters would never expect however, was that Alias would be the man responsible for Winters losing his grip on ACW... when Alias, as part of Team ACW, defeated Osyrus in the highly-lauded main event at LEGENDS I. Since saving ACW, Alias has been a part of numerous memorable feuds, which also led to the Original Pulp Hero accruing several different title reigns through the years. Chief among those his feud with the returning 'Superstar' Vince Jacobs, who explicitly set-up a series of challengers from throughout the wrestling world to weaken the Hero, before finally revealing himself... in a feud that roared for four years and finally ended in the 13th and final match between the two men, at LEGENDS II. The match was called The Legends Match, and it was not only the match were Alias procured the jagged scar across his right eye, but the match also retired both Alias and Jacobs. For a time.

Since his induction into the ACW Hall Of Fame, Alias has bagged another reign as the ACW World Champion, as well as a reign as ACW Tag Team Champion with his trusted tag-team partner Karina Wolfenden. Now, all that remains for Alias is to claim the Spirit Of ACW Championship to complete the impossible ACW Titles Grand Slam. Think he can do it?

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
* Responsible for making the ACW Championship to a World Championship * ACW World Champion [x3]
* ACW United States Champion [x4]
* Owner of ACW [Nov. 2004 - Jul. 2006]
* General Manager of ACW [Mar. 2009 - Dec. 2010]

Aaron 'SilverHAWK' Jones is the first, and maybe the only member of the ACW family, that will ever be inducted as both a superstar and an architect of this great federation. And he wasn't even on the opening roster. ACW's first major signing during its inaugural year of existence, the man who would be ACW's Golden Boy immediately went about chasing arguably ACW's greatest bad guy in 'The One' Jimmy Reid. SilverHAWK would go on to see the men he fought along side, J. Gonz and another major signing in those early years of ACW in Henry 'Captain Ironsides' Irwonsen, and then men he fought against, such as Joe Bishop, win the ACW Championship before him (save for Ironsides who instead became the Spirit Of ACW).... and yet HAWK's war for the honour of ACW never wavered.

Eventually his noble path was rewarded, winning the ACW Championship from Jimmy Reid with the help from Ironsides and the Spirit Of ACW. HAWK would go on to hold the ACW Championship for an unprecedented amount of time, in the process helping make the Championship a World Championship while defending it in Barcelona, Spain. Even when he lost the World title and watched as ACW slipped into a dark age years later, HAWK held true and instead cemented himself as one of the most storied contenders for the United States Title.

Eventually ACW would return to prominence, garnering a TV deal as well as a certain amount of controversy after half the roster was cut and new blood was brought in. HAWK stayed on the roster, eventually clashing with Osyrus in a memorable feud that would help cement ACW as promotion on the rise. HAWK would once more win the United States Title (his fourth) and also the World Title (his second); the latter would be lost almost alongside his career when he tumbled from the top of a triple cage. HAWK would fight back however, helping to save ACW from Ethan Winters and Winters Inc. at LEGENDS I before becoming embroiled in a war of the words with a debuting Khristian Keller as HAWK took his first steps in becoming the GM for ACW that he was today, as part of a new ownership group taking over responsibilities of the company in the name of Boyd and Dunn.

HAWK however also had something left in him, in terms of in-ring work, once again defeating Osyrus for the World Championship in April of 2004 after ACW came back from a short closure. HAWK would then become embroiled in a feud with an old friend and new enemy; ACW's World Champion before the closure, Alias. In the end though Alias would regain the title, and HAWK would lose his sight. Though as ACW always fought to return, so too did SilverHAWK as he shockingly became the owner in November of 2004. Even when he was put into a coma after being attacked by Lowell Dot Com, Jimmy Cain and Sars the Clown... the fans knew HAWK would be back. As ACW burned to the ground in the hands of Lowell (at the time going by of Lord Lowell -- supreme ruler of ACW), SilverHAWK would awaken from his coma. Within three years, ACW would also return and naturally HAWK would there with it in his new capacity as General Manager... from then on, to the end of the world.

* Co-Owners of ACW [Jan. 2001 - Dec. 2003]

There wouldn't be an ACW if not for these two men. Even with the untimely passing of Charles Dunn, it is there legacy with the federation, helping establish a strong base built on the right signings and homegrown talent, that will allow ACW to last for years into the future.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
* ACW World Champion

Infamy, thy name is Vince Jacobs.

Since debuting in All-Star Championship Wrestling in late-1992, Vince Jacobs has not only changed the very defition of what a 'Superstar' can be, but he's also changed the very course of the wrestling world. Never without controversy, Superstar Vince Jacobs has rarely been without a World Championship as well, wherever he may land, but it was the place that started his career that also changed it forever. In 1993, after discovering and then teaming with a young Christopher Sheffield, the two friends would go on to take ACW by storm while ultimately threatening to create a new world order within ACW as the epidomous Vintage Advancement, which at the time featured the Superstar, Chris Phoenix and Joe Bishop. It was not to be however, as by 1997 jealousy tore apart the potential of the group as Chris Phoenix (one day to become Alias) attacked SVJ during his first World Championship match and not only ruined his chances at the Championship but seemingly ended his career. It would be a long hard road back to the ring, but Vince Jacobs would find his way threre through the valley of other storied federations and the fame that they brought, before he finally made waves in returning to ACW in his quest for not only revenge against Alias, but also in his quest for the ACW World Championship that had eluded him for so long. Thirteen years later, give or take a few years, and Vince Jacobs had finally ended both... he had won the World Championship in a fittingly controversial fashion, but not as controversial as how he had lost it. Then... at LEGENDS II his rivalry with Alias would finally come to an end. Until then, and since, Superstar Vince Jacobs has faced the best in the world and defeated them in combat. No will ever earn that name more... Superstar.

* The FIRST Champion in ACW's history
* ACW World Champion [x4]
* Color-Commentator for ACW's Courage broadcast [2009-2010]

It's easy to say that any one institution wouldn't be the same if not for a certain someones involvement. It's almost cliche at this point. That doesn't matter, because ACW would not be ACW if not for 'The One' Jimmy Reid. From the start, ACW's original villain was the man that all others chases, and though the pre-Courage Age of ACW, prior to 2002 isn't recognized in the same way that ACW's televised history is... it still has to be said that Reid's four seperate title reigns will be difficult for anyone to ever match. No one has ever been more evil or more manipulative, no one has ever gotten more glee out of the suffereing of others... and even when a quiet and well mannered Reid came back to ACW in 2009 to do color commentary for Courage, many should have realized the pure evil that lurked underneath. Not only did he inspire fellow Hall of Famers like SilverHAWK and Ironsides to chase him, but he also PURELY inspired other World Champions and Hall of Famers such as Joe Bishop (who he originally mentored, in the bassest form of the word), as well as Superstar Vince Jacobs and even currently Z.

* ACW World Champion [x3]
* Owner of ACW [Nov. 2004 - Jan. 2005]
* Head Road Agent [Mar. 2005 - 2007] * Production Manager of ACW [Mar. 2009 - Current]

The Inside Man is not a name that came lightly to Joe Bishop. Originally the muscle behind the mastermind of Jimmy Reid, no one really took Bishop seriously. A lumbering individual, already past his prime in 1992, Joe was never given alot of respect by The One himself or the fans in general. What no one could have expected at the time, was the managerial mind or the accumen for the business that lay beneath. Joe Bishop's biggest weapon has never been his impressive strength and imposing physque. Oh no, his greatest weapon will always be his keen mind and watchful eyes. That is the reason why Joe Bishop is an ACW World Champion three times over, including his first coming directly from a win over Jimmy Reid himself. Not only had Bishop seconded 'The One' Jimmy Reid however, but he also played the mentoring position within Vintage Advancement to Chris Phoenix and Vince Jacobs, and eventually Joe Bishop would be known as the most trusted confidant of SilverHAWK, Aaron Jones Sr. Not only in the ring, but out of it, Bishop would use his supreme knowledge of the business as a whole and ACW specifically... as a road agent for All-Star Championship Wrestling for years, and eventually being the driving force behind Courage each week. If Bishop ever wanted to be on camera more often, he could have had it... but he never wanted it that way. Joe Bishop simply wanted to watch, and learn... and continue to know ACW inside and out.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AT THE TIME OF INDUCTION
* Spirit of ACW [x2]
* Record for Longest Combined Reign; his two reigns combining to 364 days
* Senior Referee [Mar. 2009 - Current]

When asked why he had his Hall of Fame bust cast in his current visage, that of ACW's current Senior Referee and not as something more to his legend as the youthful face who put the Spirit of ACW on the map, Henry Irwonsen simply replied, "I never want to be remembered as something I'm not."

It showed why the man who was once all but forgotten in ACW's lore would be the only man who could be ACW's most trusted referee, the man is an open book and even that should be struck into cast iron. Seen as ACW's first big signing, the man once known as Captain Ironsides entered ACW with infamy at his back due to the way that he had exited CWL. It was not until a series of awe-inspiring match-ups with J. Gonze that Ironsides could truly relax, even if he still had to chase Gonz for the Spirit of ACW for a time. Once becoming the Spirit of ACW however, Ironsides would potential the very potential that ACW held and gave birth to a thousand wrestling careers in the hearts and minds of children who saw his exploits in person. Transpose that famous Brian Eno quote about the Velvet Undergroud, and you've Ironsides effect on wrestling. He even used his Spirit of ACW for something truly memorable, helping SilverHAWK garner his first ACW Championship reign. Eventually the political backstage of ACW proved to be Ironsides downfall, much like it had been in CWL, but Ethan Winters Sr. played with much harsher rules. Going into hiding for more then a decade, Ironsides would not be seen in ACW again until the federations return in 2009... when Ironsides can truly get the recognition that his supremely talented and yet ever humble heart deserves.
