NOTES
*1 - Vincent Pembridge defeated 006.392, Jason Reaves, Ron Williams, General David Sanders (thReat), and Jason Semps (thReat) in a 6-PERSON FIGHT to induct the Scorpion Fighting Title into ACW's way of life, as promised to Vincent Pembridge by SilverHAWK (the de facto Boss at the time). Also, the show only ended up being aired on 18 May 2003 due to the network's crappy management. How's that relevant? You decide.

*2 - Keegan won the Scorpion Fighting Title from Quinton May in the second fall of a complex HIGH STAKES SHOWDOWN, where the Television Title and Quinton's son (Dylan) were also on the line. Footage of this TRIBUTE 2003 event has been described as being extremely rare due to the event's highly violent theme and sensitive eventual outcome.

*3 - The television deal that ACW had fell through. Coupled with numerous other problems, this meant ACW folded and Keegan was more or less forced to vacate the Scorpion Fighting Title.

*4 - Having been revived with an all-new television deal, ACW's first show back on the air saw Quinton May defeat Devin Bastian to claim the vacated Scorpion Fighting Title.

*5 - Chris Messiah won the Scorpion Fighting Title from Phil Atken in the first decision of an ULTIMATE SUBMISSIONS MATCH, that also featured Quinton May and the Television Title.

*6 - In a truly wonderful STEEL CAGE MATCH where the loser would have actually have to give up wrestling as a career, Chris Messiah and Phil Atken ended up hitting the arena floor at the exact same moment. After much debate, William Laguna (the Boss at the time) ruled the match a draw and decreed that both men would have to forfeit their careers as a result. That meant the Scorpion Fighting Title was once again vacated and without an owner.

*7 - William Laguna (the Boss at the time) decided to have the Scorpion Fighting Title put up for grabs in one of the first KING OF AGES 2004 QUALIFYING MATCH, which would feature Azrael Asesino squaring off against Natalie Quinston. In the end, Azrael Asesino triumphed over Natalie Quinston and took ownership of the Scorpion Fighting Title.

*8 - Due to the dearth of competition, Fejona Min stopped defending the Scorpion Fighting Title and even resorted to keeping the title belt in her residence as a souvenir. After losing the Television Title to Seymour Almasy at BREAKOUT 2005, Fejona Min left ACW due to unexplained reasons. The following week, SilverHAWK (the Boss at the time) decreed that the Scorpion Fighting Title and the Television Title went hand-in-hand, which meant that Seymour Almasy had also won the Scorpion Fightling Title at BREAKOUT 2005. SilverHAWK gave Seymour Almasy the option of retiring the title belt and having its history be absorbed by the Television Title... or defend it as a seperate entity. Seymour Almasy finally decided that the Scorpion Fighting Title would remain as a standalone title belt. Contrived? Yes. A wee bit retroactive? Yes. Accept it and move on.

*9 - Seymour Almasy put up both his Scorpion Fighting Title and his Television Title on the line in a FIVE-WAY ELIMINATION MATCH; Max Danger, Lowell Dot Com, Violence Jack and Andy Sharp were the other participants. The first person to gain a fall over Seymour Almasy would win the Scorpion Fighting Title. Lowell Dot Com ended up being the one who walked away with the Scorpion Fighting Title.

*10 - Nothing actually complicated here. Just thought something as momentous as the Scorpion Fighting Title changing hands during GIMMICK HELL deserved some recognition.

*11 - Mounting issues within ACW essentially meant that the federation once again had to face the reality of closure. Hence the Scorpion Fighting Title was yet again vacated, although Jimmy Cain continued to hold on to the Scorpion Fighting Title as a parting souvenir.

*12 - A week after ACW's triumphant return, Alias survived the inaugural SCORPION FIGHT NIGHT CHALLENGE to claim the vacated Scorpion Fighting Title.

NOTES
*1 - El Janitors bested The Kole Brothers and .vindication in the much-lauded HOMICIDAL TENDENCIES SHOWDOWN to become the very first holders of the Tag Team Titles.

*2 - The television deal that ACW had fell through. Coupled with numerous other problems, this meant ACW folded and El Janitors were more or less forced to vacate the Tag Team Titles.

*3 - Desperate for some extra value to the product, William Laguna (the Boss at the time) decided that the only two tag teams on the roster would fight to claim the vacated Tag Team Titles. In the end, The Normans triumphed over Splink to become the second holders of the Tag Team Titles.

*4 - Splink had been missing in action for months, after realising that there weren't many tag teams coming into ACW to challenge for the Tag Team Titles. It was then decided during the END GAME 2005 pay-per-view that the Tag Team Titles would be officially retired since nobody could get the title belts back from Splink, who were reportedly in Mexico getting into all sorts of trouble.

*5 - SilverHAWK ascertained that the tag team division was facing an unprecedented resurgence, and as such, decreed that there would be an ELIMINATION CHASE type of tournament encompassing four of the existing tag teams to claim the vacated Tag Team Titles After weeks of competition, the final match in the ELIMINATION CHASE saw The First Airbourne do battle with the Heirs of Wrestling at THE WAKE 2009 SuperShow. After an absolutely gruelling contest, it was the Heirs of Wrestling that walked away with the Tag Team Titles.

*6 - SilverHAWK and Alias reached an agreement; since Karina Wolfenden, the fairer half of Vox Nihili, had not yet signed an official contract with ACW, Alias would defend the Tag Team Titles on his own until Karina decided to commit herself to ACW. Alias unfortunately had the misfortune of defending the Tag Team Titles by himself that very night against The SOBs and the Pop Culture Phenoms. It was eventually the Pop Culture Phenoms who prevailed to win the Tag Team Titles.

NOTES
*1 - SilverHAWK defeated Dustin Jacobs to win the United States Title, thereby becoming the first holder of the title belt in the new modern era of ACW.

*2 - Ethan Winters (the Boss at the time) was not pleased with Ethan Ryan Alexander's constant excuses and no-shows which saw the United States Title being undefended. Ethan Winter thereby decided to strip stripped Ethan Ryan Alexander of the title belt in a show of power, leaving the United States Title without a holder.

*3 - Geo Vacton defeated Jay Smash in the UNITED STATES TITLE TOURNAMENT FINAL to claim the vacated United States Title.

*4 - The television deal that ACW had fell through. Coupled with numerous other problems, this meant ACW folded and Dante Inferno was more or less forced to vacate the United States Title.

*5 - Geo Vacton outlasted Phoenix Rose, Marshall and The Mammoth in a FATAL 4-WAY MATCH to claim the vacated United States Title; in the process, Geo Vacton famously become the first two-time holder of the title belt in the modern era of ACW.

*6 - Geo Vacton vacated the United States Title after announcing he was leaving to join a rival promotion (one that did not even open). Once again, the United States Title was without an owner.

*7 - God's Forgotten Son and Quinton May were scheduled to face each other in the KING OF AGES 2004 FINALE. William Laguna (the Boss at the time) decided to have the United States Title awarded to the winner of the GFS/Quinton battle. God's Forgotten Son eventually won out over Quinton May to claim the vacated United States Title.

*8 - SilverHAWK (the Boss at the time) was fed up with the inactivity of God's Forgotten Son and in an effort to embrace a new era in ACW, stripped the title belt from GFS. This left the United States Title yet again without a holder.

*9 - Kelly Flawless won a 11-PERSON BATTLE ROYALE to claim the vacated United States Title. The other 10 challengers were: The Loser, 'Magnificent' Mark Morris, Lady Avalon, Lowell Dot Com, Andy Sharp, Sars the Clown, Slapnutz, TMM, Seymour Almasy and Khristian Keller.

*10 - At the beginning of the LEGENDS II pay-per-view, Joe Bishop (standing in for SilverHAWK as Interim Boss at the time) ruled that the United States Title would be retired and Alias would keep the title belt as a memento. Both the United States Title and the Television Title were retired with the re-emergence of the Spirit of ACW Title, which they had once been created to replace way back when. An interesting thing to note is that the United States Title, at that time, was supposed to be put on the line by Alias in his match against Vince Jacobs. Alias and Vince Jacobs were both wrestling in what was believed to be each man's respective retirement match on that night (it turned out not to be the case but the two men have never fought each other ever since).
