Alliance Championship Wrestling
"Benefit for Brandon"
Friday night 7/11/08
Bank Street Armory
Fall River, Massachusetts

Several promotions came together for a 16-match wrestling event to benefit 5-year-old Fall River resident Brandon Cusick, who has lukemia. The promotions represented were Alliance Championship Wrestling, Northeast Championship Wrestling, Eastern Pro Wrestling, Showcase Pro Wrestling, No Limit Pro Wrestling, Front Row Wrestling, Eastern Wrestling Alliance, Real Deal Wrestling, New England Championship Wrestling, Power & Glory Wrestling, and Big Time Wrestling.

1. NCW: Heavyweight Champ Doug Summers beat "The Showoff" Mike Paiva (with J.C. Marx) to retain the championship.

2. SPW vs. NLP vs. ACW: Mr. Christopher Blackheart & "The Punisher" Don Vega (SPW) beat "Rapid Fire" Craig Trace & Loco (with Mr. Brian Reese--NLP) and Matt Magnum & Mike Stryker (ACW) in a three-way tag team match (Blackheart pinned Loco).

3. EPW vs. NCW: Sid Reeves (EPW) beat Jon Thornhill (NCW).

4. FRW and EWA: Chunky But Funky (Sonny Goodspeed & D.J. Baron) and Shane Sharpe beat Panther Martin and EWA Tag Team Champs Dr. Reginald Heresy & Kid Krazy.

5. EPW: Dan Freitas (with Amber Rae) beat Nick Westgate to become the Number One Contender for the EPW Heavyweight Championship.

6. PGW: "East Coast Intensity" Jose Perez & Len Oddity (with an unannounced valet) beat Andy Sweet & Lukas Sharp.

7. NECW: Makua the Hawaiian Warrior beat "The Natural" Scott Osbourne to become the Number One Contender for the Television Championship.

8. BTW: Sweet Scott Ashworth beat Mr. T.A. to win the BTW Dog Collar Championship. This match featured brawling in the bleachers, hard shots with the dog collar chain, trash cans, bathroom/kitchen cabinetry, and other choice weapons.

9. ACW "Gold vs. Greed" Ladder Match: Interstate Champion Iraqnid vs. "Hilite" Davey Cash vs. "The Heat" Kris Pyro vs. Vinnie Nero (with Kevin Castro). At one point, Davey Cash dove off the top of a basketball backboard onto Iraqnid through a table on the hard wood floor. Kris Pyro and Vinnie Nero also fell from the top of a ladder through a table in the ring. I was confused as to who was declared the winner because Iraqnid grabbed the championship belt from the rope hanging over the ring at the same time Kris Pyro grabbed a briefcase from the same rope. I guess both Iraqnid and Pyro were co-winners!?!?

10. SPW: Heavyweight Champion "Narcisstic" Nicholas Night beat "The Boston Bad Boy" Jason Rumble to retain the championship.

11. ACW: Redemption, Tex McCoy, & "The Thunder from Down Under" Michael Foster (with Julius Sweet) beat Sensational Scott Lesveque, "The Franchise" Brian Sire, & White Trash Chris in Lesveque's Open Challenge match.

12. Matt Taven won the two-ring over-the-top-rope battle royal. I don't have a list of who was in the battle royal. Most of the guys in this match I didn't know anyway.

13. NLP: Judomaster Benny Juxx (with Mr. Brian Reese) beat Pizzazz to win the Heavyweight Championship.

14. ACW: "The Reflex" Eric Dylan (with Nicky Valentine) beat "Blockbuster" Rob Hagan (with Gene Joseph) in a Haircut match.

15. RDW: Thorne & Mark Quinn beat Bloodstone & The Messiah.

16. ACW: Heavyweight Champion Brickhouse Baker beat G.Q. Smooth (with Kevin Castro) to retain the championship. Both brawled all over the Bank Street Armory. The end featured a surprise appearance by Gorgeous Gino Giovanni. He tried to hit Baker with a chair but hit Smooth instead...which allowed Baker to score the pin.

They drew raffle tickets pretty much after every match (first raffle prize was given away after the second match). They spent alot of time in between the first four or five matches drawing raffle tickets and trying to hang the rope over the ring for the Ladder match. The show started around 7:30 p.m. and ended around Midnight. Everyone seemed to enjoy the show, while helping out a worthwhile cause. It was great to see Brandon and his family recognized by Mr. Fabulous, Gene Joseph and the crowd. In my opinion, ACW did it right this time...a show for the right reasons and running in the right building.
