Standing next to a large screen was ACW Interviewer Jason Slade, dressed in a casual sport coat over his usual jeans and button up shirt, and as he spoke behind him on the screen would be promotional photographs of every ACW Superstar, Star, and new-comer that he had questioned over the course of the week prior.::

Jason Slade: "Welcome to Five Second Interviews with me, your host Jason Slade. I've been talking with the ACW Superstars all week long to bring you their views on a single question. Who or what has been your biggest challenge since your debut in ACW. Here for the first time are their answers for you the ACW fans and fellow stars."

Snake: "My biggest challenge? Has been my complete and utter lack of a challenge."

"But I do have a question...what do Canadians and the French have in common? They are both useless, worthless, and the world should bomb them."

Aurora Matthews: "I'd have to say my biggest challenge thus far since my arrival in American Championship Wrestling has been making some of my competitors realize that I am deadly serious about everything I say leading up to a match. You'd really think that by now, having seen me say what I would do and then actually doing it that they would believe it when it came to be their turn, yet somehow its always a surprise. I don't make a habit of saying things I don't mean, even if the person I'm saying those things to really wishes I wasn't so brutally honest with them. Its just so simple, if I say I'm going to DDT you in a match, I will DDT you in a match, end of story. You'd think with so many vivid examples of this I wouldn't get the static I do, but then...look at the sources I suppose. That's the 'what', as far as the who, I'd say consistently that I've had the best matches withKaylyn Vaude and Alexa Rose, the most brutal matches with Jamison. I'm sure there will be more of both, once I regain the Women's Title."

Kaylyn Vaude: "To be honest with you, my biggest challenge since Debuting in American Championship Wrestling has been a combination of a few things. The fact that I don't want anyone to think they can walk all over me has me being completely hardcore, and due to that I have been bumping some heads here and there. As for people, There are three that have been big challenges for me. Aurora, Alexa, and Aurelei... triple A. Each one has their own strengths that are great weaknesses to me. Aurora seems to bring out the better side of me, and that leads to issues because I don't want to show that side. I have Alexa, that is a huge powerhouse and has crossed paths with me one too many times, then Aurelei... who is wanting what I hold... actually, they all are, but soon everyone will come to see... its not going anywhere anytime soon if I can help it."

Hyena: “What's been my biggest challenge? Hmph, don't expect a lasting answer. We all face even bigger challenges in the future.

If pressed to answer, however, I would have to say my biggest challenge was the Sanitarium match back in March. Not so much because I didn't win it but because I had never really stepped into such an environment with a canny and determined foe like Roric before. I don't think I will ever have a fight like that in my career that could match the Sanitarium fight for devastation. Unless it was another Sanitarium.”

Eric Donavan: “As Roric…coming over the railing at ACW’s second Shockwave to have it out with the World Heavyweight Champion? That’s pretty nerve-wracking. Even a few years of world-hopping in various international and independent promotions and competing against a wide range of talents doesn’t prepare you for a moment like that in a World-class promotion like ACW. A newcomer from nowhere throwing himself into the snake pit with one of the most dangerous men on the planet is the epitome of pressure.”

“As Eric…it would be dealing with the reputation that I built as Roric and meeting my own standards as something completely different than I once was. It’s a whole new set of pressures with everyone looking for me to match my previous levels and surpass them, with old and new enemies and allies taking their shots both figuratively and literally. If I didn’t revel in such things, it would be enough to drive me bonkers.”

Kyle Travis: "Getting the respect someone with my career, my legacy, my reputation deserves."

Aurelei Jamison: “Honestly? Nothing having to do with what goes on in the ring, the locker room or anywhere else the cameras go week in and week out. That’s not a shot at my peers mind you, just the honest truth. The greatest challenge for me is not having Monica around anymore. She was the person I sent my tapes to, the person I bounced ideas and thoughts off of and the person who trained me in the dojo before I took up with Hiashi. I wouldn’t be the caliber I am without her and without that pillar to lean on…the pressure is on me to make it on my own. It’s hard, but I’ll survive because that’s what I do.”

Medos: "Well, I have to say. That's a good question. However, there are two matches that stick in my mind since my debut here in ACW. One of them, would be the TV Title match I had against Travis, Cujo Williams and Bill Liden in a Ladder Match. That was one of my biggest challenges as an ladder stipulation really makes you more wary. I managed to get the win as you know, but that was one of the toughest matches. The only other match I can think of. Was my debut match against David Matthews, who was the Champ when I debuted. I tried my hardest, gave him everything I probably could of then, and came out of with the loss. Next time, should I ever face him. I expect a different result."

Megan Harris: "My biggest challenge has been to keep Tee Voland and my brother Brian off my -bleep- back about dating my boyfriend. No, seriously...its been people who think that just because I started in MMA that I can't also become a great wrestler. With what my trainer and Mike have shown me, I know I can be one of the top wrestlers of this company and I'll hold the Women's Title just like I know Mike will become World Heavyweight Champion."

Damon Cross: “Without a doubt trying to go up against Gryphon when he was carrying the World Title. The man had more years in the business than I had matches at that point…and he busted me up pretty good. That was the first time I’d really been put in my place and, looking back on it, I’m glad it happened. It taught me to watch what I say and how I act a little better.”

Yeh Ren: "The toughest match was the title match with La Envidia Mata. It's the only match in ACW so far that I've been pinned, so in that way it's a pretty easy answer. But Darren Moore is the opponent that brought the most out of me. He made me raise my game more than Mata, so I guess I'll go with him."

Ashley Davis: "My biggest challenge since being here is proving to everyone that I am not someone who will be walked all over on. Just because of my standards, most will think they can get the better of me, but I stay true to myself, and that in itself has been the biggest challenge thus far."

Shane Brooks: "Getting the courage to ask Cynthia to dinner?"

Alexa Rose: "You know Jason, that is easy to answer as it is hard. While the men and women that I have encountered in, and out, of the ring have definitely been a challenge. Most that I have fought in the women's division have made me work for where I am today, and I am happy they did. Now to get onto your question."

"Who was the biggest challenge since my debut? Well, myself. In all aspects of my career here in ACW it has always been myself. I imagine that it always will. No one is your worse critic like yourself."

Devon Mayhem: "Biggest challenge, are you kidding? That's an easy one. Trying to circumvent the smoke detectors in the hotel and locker rooms of course."

Logan Alexander: “My biggest challenge here? That would be an easy one to name, even with all the possible ones waiting in front of me. My big challenge here is living up to my reputation and meeting the expectations set for me by all the people around me.”

“With everything that I accomplished in the American Wrestling Alliance from late 2005 until they closed in 2008 has set the bar for what I am expected to accomplish here in ACW over the next year or next several years. Despite the extended layoff I’ve had due to injury, people still look at me like I’m the same guy who became AWA World Champion in 2008, but that reign ended in rather controversial fashion a year and a half ago. I know I’m not the same as I was then. I don’t know if I will accomplish the same things I did in the AWA, because this isn’t the AWA… and it’s not like the UWA, which felt like a carry over of the AWA with so much of the same talent.”

“I’m not sure of what I can accomplish here, but it feels like I already have a huge weight upon my shoulders. Unless I get to the top of ACW, I won’t have lived up to what is being expected of me… and those aren’t even my expectations. Those are the expectations of the people that make wrestlers into stars… the fans, and over the years I’ve seen that they are the hardest people to please. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if I’ll be up to the task.”

Michaelina Summers: "Tough question, since my debut wasn't long ago." 

"As of right now, I'd say finding an identity with my wrestling, and proving that I do belong here among the star wrestlers. Between the two competitors that I've faced so far,Kaylyn Vaude was more of the surprising match in terms of difficulty than Alexa."

"Well, I told her to show me in the ring how she won that belt. She got dirty. It was a dirty fight, and I threw my gloves off for it, which I didn't expect to do against a belt holder. I guess I just thought she was a wrestler, not a scavenger."

Sang Real:

Murphy: "Our biggest challenge since our debut?"

Krown: "How about either getting on Shockwave or getting our rematch with Razors Edge?"

Murphy: "Those do seem to be the most challenging."

The Gamer: "Well Mr. Slade, I'd say my biggest challenge in this federation has to be... winning!"

"But seriously, my biggest challenge here is adjusting to the work ethic that every awesome talent in the back. Trust me, a few weeks off has given me a lot of time to think and I AM coming for you!"

La Envidia Mata: "In ACW I have had different challenges. From a rough start, to getting under everyone's skin, to winning the Survivor Championship. But, the biggest challenge to date here was to wrestle my own partner Chris Wrestling. Not only because of his natural ability in that ring but because we have been friends and enemies for years. We love to compete and with the Survivor Title on the line we had to put it all on the line including risking The Corporation but that is all behind us and now our focus is on different people and different goals including Snake and the ACW World Heavyweight Title."

JS: “There you have it, back to you Robert and Mitchell.”
