This is my hometown promotion here in the San Antonio/Austin area. I've been to every one of their shows since early 2007 (they're probably best remembered for their show with IWA-MS "Sunday, bloody sunday" with MASADA vs. Necro) They're a great, underrated little company that you'll be seeing me do some reviews of their bigger shows. Their shows are on smart mark video, too.

What an awesome show this was. If you're gonna buy one IWA:Texas/ACW show, make it this one. I'm not lying when I say that the best Joey Ryan Vs. Human Tornado match to have occurred happened in San Antonio, Texas. They went all out ! The triple threat with hero, jacobs and cannon was all kinds of awesome. And finally, JT Lamotta (ACW's "WRK RATE" guy) vs Tornado was all kinds of great. Awesome DVD, really.

No Rope Barbed Wire: Eddie Kingston vs. Drake Younger - ***1/2
I'm a huge, HUGE Eddie Kingston mark, so naturally, I had to get this. It's a well, decent show I suppose. There are some good matches scattered around here and there. Drew Blood Vs. Pinkie Sanchez really surprised me. I liked that Lord Everett Devore was the mystery guy. Anyway, Eddie Kingston Vs. Drake Younger was a great NRBW contest. Some awesome near falls ! Back drop on the barbed wire board ! A barbed wire wrapped back fist ! Good stuff. Not an excellent match or anything, but pretty good. OK show. Don't be afraid of the skip button though, because when something looks bad, it's more than likely .. pretty bad.
