Seems like yesterday. Thanks for sharing this info, Mr. Hall. I'd be interested in seeing more results from Nelson Royal's Atlantic Coast promotion.

A recap of the initial champions of Atlantic Coast Wrestling.

World Jr. Heavyweight Champion: Nelson Royal

ACW Heavyweight Champion: Doug Sommers

ACW Tag Team Champions: Mod Squad Spike and The D.I.

ACW Television Champion: Tommy Angel (Colt Steel was the second TV Champion)

Nelson Royal did not use the NWA Jr. Heavyweight belt he previously held. The Jr. Heavyweight, Heavyweight and Tag Team belts used in the ACW were all very similar. The plates were silver mounted on black leather. The TV title was a pretty nice looking trophy.

cwh47 Global Moderator Posts: 352 Gender:	Re: Atlantic Coast Wrestling Reply #11 - Jan 19^th, 2009, 5:28am Well they got two to three TV shows at each taping. When ACW was doing a taping, the advertised starting time was 7:00 p.m. Each show listed here was around 48 minutes after subtracting 12 minutes for commercial time. Very similar to Crockett shows after JCP started taping in arenas instead of a studio.
