A lot of the guys in the ACWF sucked.  Not much good talent.  The ACWF had guys like the Rock (now known as Octavian), Khan (Khan), Jeff Hardy (Mike Hardy), and others.  To be honest, none of us were that great. 

          I waited for the first card with great anticipation.  I was entered into a battle royal for the Hard*core title.  I had improved, and even thought I might win it.  I did well, but was tossed out by the guy that ended up winning the damn thing.  It was with disappointment that I skimmed the main event.

          I was surprised when I read as Steven Caldera walked down the ramp and interrupted the main event.  I nailed Dero with a chair and took off.  So began the biggest and only feud in the ACWF I would experience.

          A world title tournament would take place at the first PPV, Deadly Decisions.  To qualify, Caldera had to defeat Big Daddy Dero in a steel cage match.  I was worried to say the least, as it was obvious that Dero was carrying the company, so to speak.  But my psychology was developing, and I was quickly becoming the hottest heel in the ACWF.  That night, Steven Caldera defeated Dero in the cage match (with some help) and advanced to the world title tournament.

          Finally, the big night arrived.  Steven Caldera was going into the tournament undefeated (that’s right) and facing a mystery opponent in the first round.  Everyone anticipated the opponent to be Dero.  But no, Danger threw in a wild card, and Caldera faced. . . THE JHUB!  Caldera dispensed of the Jhub in the Jhub’s second ACWF match, and moved on.

          My second round opponent was the Heckler, another of Danger’s established heels.  It was a close match, but Caldera pulled it out.  He moved on to the main event.  The Lord Of Illusions was slated to face me in the finals, but Caldera took him out before the match (with some help) and had no opponent.  Or that’s what he thought.  Danger appointed a replacement. . . You guessed it.  Dero and I fought with great intensity, but in the end, Mr. Danger dropped Dero with a chair, made the three count, and handed Steven Caldera the ACWF world title.  We were heels, and loving it.  I had come from crap to World Champ in four weeks.  I was good.
