Vic Delicious smiles as the crowd chants 'This Is Awesome' during his brutal tables match at ACW's first show.
The episode features an interview with Vic Delicious, co-founder of Awesome Championship Wrestling (ACW), on the Brotherly Love Wrestling podcast. Hosts Larry Hall and Joe Corrado welcome Vic back to discuss ACW's first event, the Poughkeepsie Rumble, which took place on January 4th. Vic details the post-production process, revealing they had to re-edit the show to include better camera angles and fix audio issues where commentators and the ring announcer talked over each other. He shares that the event will air on Triller TV on February 2nd. Vic emotionally recounts the crowd's genuine 'This Is Awesome' chant during his violent tables match, describing it as a highlight that fulfilled their creative vision. He praises his opponents, including Danny Moff taking a dangerous bump through a table. Vic announces ACW's next event, Aftershock, on May 17th, with Matt Cardona challenging Richard Holliday for the ACW Championship, a match set up via a surprise video at the first show. He teases that this feud will continue and that multiple new championships will be crowned at the May event. Vic explains ACW's financial model, stating they have no billionaire investors or angel funding, relying instead on personal relationships and reinvesting all profits. He discusses the challenges of booking talent in the current wrestling landscape, where WWE, AEW, and TNA contracts limit availability. The conversation shifts to broader wrestling topics, including predictions for the WWE Royal Rumble, with Vic favoring John Cena and the hosts debating CM Punk. They touch on positive aspects of AEW, TNA's resurgence, and the NXT-TNA partnership. The episode concludes with Vic promoting ACW ticket sales starting Friday at thisisacw.com and a teaser for next week's guest, Dominic Diakovich (Die Jack).
