Anarchy Championship Wrestling (ACW) is a professional wrestling promotion based out of Austin, Texas, owned and operated by Darin Childs. They held their first official event on January 14, 2007 in San Antonio, Texas.[1] The promotion has developed a reputation over the years for featuring hardcore wrestling in music venues[2] and festivals,[3] as well as the pioneering women's division, the "Joshi Division."[4]

History[edit]

ACW was founded by Darin Childs, Rachel Summerlyn and Jacob Ladder in 2007 with the intention of reviving the central Texas independent wrestling scene.[1] They ran over 30 shows in the year 2007 in San Antonio, Austin, Seguin and other communities around Texas garnering notoriety for their intense work ethic. Promotion mainstays Childs, Summerlyn and Ladder wrestled other well-known Texas wrestlers such as Mike Dell, Scot Summers and Masada. They were soon joined by nationally known talents such as Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan), Jerry Lynn, Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black (Seth Rollins).[1] The first wrestler to bring national notoriety to the Anarchy Heavyweight Championship was Jerry Lynn.[5] Known as "The Godfather of Anarchy" in ACW,[6] Jerry's first notable feud in ACW was with Scot Summers, his first and last opponent in an ACW ring.[7] Eventually Scot and Jerry would team, defeating The Submission Squad in 2008 for the Anarchy Tag Team Championship.[8] Later Scot would name his daughter after Jerry.[9] Jerry Lynn wrestled Masada for the CZW World Championship in 2012 at ACW presents An Absence of Law.[10] At Guilty By Association 7 in 2013, shortly before his retirement, Jerry wrestled his last match in TX against Scot Summers.[11] Jerry would return to ACW in 2016 to be honored as the 1st member of "Anarchy's Elite" at Guilty by Association X.[12] In August 2010 Scot Summers and Mike Dell wrestled a career vs career match at Hooligans in San Antonio (Live Oak), TX in which Mike Dell lost, forcing him to leave ACW.[13] A documentary called "Squared Circle Dreams[14]" was produced which followed the promotion through its early years, providing interviews with the wrestlers and the fans about the impact of ACW on themselves and pro wrestling in Texas.[15]

In 2009 ACW held its first women's wrestling tournament featuring the "Joshi Division",[16] a departure from popular women's professional wrestling of the time that was dominated by the "Divas". The Joshi division offers athletically intense wrestling matches featuring wrestlers such as Daffney, Sara Del Rey, Portia Perez, Ms Chif, Athena (Ember Moon) well before some would make their mark on the "Women's wrestling revolution".[4]

In 2010 ACW began appearing at Fun Fun Fun Fest, a music, sports and comedy festival in Austin, TX. They became a staple of the yearly event.[3][17] At the 2013 festival, two ACW wrestlers (later identified as Paul London and A. C. H.[18]) were reported to have entered a mosh pit during the Cro-Mags performance.[19] In 2016 Graham Williams, former owner of Transmission Events (producers of Fun Fun Fun Fest) founded Margin Walker Presents and announced the informal successor to Fun Fun Fun Fest, Sound on Sound Fest.[20] Once again, ACW was present at the festival.[21]
