Wrestling Six Packs: ACH Dream Matches

ACH: The new hotness

ACH, the Super Saiyan of Texas, has busted onto the scene bigtime after he was brought to the East Coast by Beyond Wrestling. After becoming a regular for Absolute Intense Wrestling and appearing for Combat Zone Wrestling, I think it's safe to say that he's been properly introduced. Despite having an impressive honor roll of matches to date, he's still pretty much a rasa tabula in regards to the greater indie scene. There are still so many potential opponents for him, and here are six that I think would be the best.

1. El Generico

This is such a dream match that I booked it as the Rey de Voladores final in my King of Trios '12 fantasy slate. Generico doesn't have bad matches, especially with people who can bring spectacular fireworks the way that ACH can. I get the feeling this not only would main event any indie event it took place on, but that it will. Will it be when Generico visits Austin again? Will it be when ACH makes his headway into the Sapolsky promotions, PWG or Chikara? Either way, it's bound to happen.

2. PAC

Generico and PAC killed it in PWG. By transitive property, if Generico and ACH would be awesome, wouldn't the battle between the two men with the three-capital lettered names also rule? In fact, I'd say the last guy to come on the scene to drop the jaws the way ACH has was PAC. I get the feeling that if you gave these two a ring and no restrictions they'd literally burst through the roof. No, this isn't me misusing the word literally. I really think one of them would go through the roof.

3. Willie Mack

The two made their co-debut for CZW at the same time, and both were pretty chill with each other. That being said, while I'd love to see them tag together, I think they'd make great opponents as well. Not only does Mack have the size enough that would make an ACH bumpfest not only make sense but be imperative, Mack can actually go hold for hold with the Super Saiyan. Someone make this match happen.

4. Colt Cabana

ACH's theatrics are awesome at times. You know who else has great in-ring antics? Cabana. Not only would this be a great wrestling match, it would have a great comedic undertone to it as well. The common theme of this blog is that wrestling isn't just holds and holds and more holds (although the holds and how they work are important). It's about being a spectacle sometimes, and Cabana/ACH would be a goddamn spectacle.

5. Michael Elgin

ACH would bump for Willie Mack, but the match would be genial, sportsmanlike, fun. How about a match where the guy throwing him around the ring is a pissed off cannonball who looks like he wants to hurt him? Elgin has locomotive breath and stalactite limbs, and seeing him toss ACH around the ring would be just swell.

6. Evan Bourne/Matt Sydal

This is a match that could happen, y'know, if Bourne ever got healthy. Even if Bourne did stay with WWE, it's still nice to dream that this match could realistically happen at some point. Both just seem to have a sublime grasp of timing in addition to being human fireworks.
