Match of the year-
Stairway to Hell
World Heavyweight Championship
Snake Vs Gryphon (c)

This is the single most brutal match i have ever written let alone read. These two damn near killed one another. You take the ending off the match and you still end up with a amazing PPV main event.

Heel of the Year-
Gryphon
Since he came back just before Revolution Gryphon has been just this side of unstoppable.Beating David Matthews and 7 other men in the struggle for supremacy tournament. His obsession with David's girlfriend Raven and attack on his daugther Jasmine have to cement him for this award.

Auralei Jamison-

Match of the year-
PPV Hallow-Havok
Stairway to Hell / World Heavyweight Championship
Snake Vs Gryphon (c)

Just when I was thinking that we'd seen it all this match came out of nowhere and dominated. There were so many intense moments throughout, including Gryphon being crucified by his own weight on the razor mesh and a fifteen foot chokeslam by Snake off the ladder, to them popping the wall off the cage with the sheer force they were using fighting. Even without the almost fatal 'after' portion of the match this one stands up against any prior match of the year entrants.

So, it's the end of the month (february). Where do you all feel the honors of recognition should go?
If we do this once a month, as the plan apparently is, it will be easier for ACW management to figure it all out at the end of the year.

[Eric Donavan]

Got a few votes of my own...

Face of the Year
Hyena
Turning face is one thing, but then going on a tear and collecting the United States and World Heavyweight titles adds to the luster. On top of that, he was a constant thorn in the sides of Snake and Mike Voland among others and earned some potent crowd reactions.

Logan Alexander
A constant foil for some rough heels and despite his rebellious side he stays on the good side no matter what. Being the longest reigning Survivor Champion in ACW thus far is also impressive.


Heel of the Year
Snake
Snake is a constant presence at the top of the card as one of the most heinous heels in the company. He reformed Toxic Melody and held the World Heavyweight Title for a good long time, turning back almost everyone in sight until Hyena came calling. Almost murding Gryphon and forcing a marriage with Aurora Jansen (now Matthews) only adds to the dark luster.

Eric Donavan
Last year's Face of the Year as this year's Heel of the Year? It could very well happen. He returned as himself, assaulted both Snake and Aurora Matthews and scrapped with former respectful-turned-again-bitter-enemy Hyena...and then took a turn. Fighting against former mentor Hiashi Shinsuma while assaulting and seriously injuring both Damon Cross and Shane Brooks and turning against Sarah D'Angelo and ACW as a whole by joining Snake in Toxic Melody makes him a top pick.

Aurelei Jamison
A vicious feud against Sarah D'Angelo saw Aurelei turn the owner's sister against her and draw Sarah into the ring for a brutal match. Injuring preliminary talents and menacing her peers in the Women's Division, she also stepped into 2010, along with Eric, as part of Toxic Melody and has continued to be a threat to anyone in her way. The death of her sister warped her in dangerous ways.


Tag Team of the Year
Razors Edge
Separate now, they were World Tag Team Champions for most of '09 and turned back challenges from Sang Real, the Exemplar and other teams.

Sang Real
Sang Real has been a constant presence and a threat to any team holding tag gold in ACW.

AntiMatter
They formed late in the voting period but have turned heads as a dominant team, fighting off any and all opponents despite obvious tensions.


Woman of the Year
Kelsia Vector/Kaylyn Vaude
She won her first ACW World Women's Title and defended with a reign exactly as long as that of Aurelei Jamison before dropping it to Aurora Matthews. She proved that she had the goods, weathering a stream of opponents.

Aurora Matthews
Became the first two-time World Women's Champion, ended up married to Snake and became part of Toxic Melody. Feuded heavily with Kaylyn Vaude and Aurelei Jamison through the year until joining up with the latter in Toxic Melody.


Rookie of the Year
Kyle Travis
First-ever Television/Survivor Champion and a former U.S. Champion all within a few months of his debut. He's a challenge for anyone who steps into the ring with him. Starting up his own group is also notable.

Devon Mayhem
Earned the U.S. Title and held it tight until being taken down by Mike Voland. Though he had Hyena down and could have taken the World Heavyweight Title, he turned it down. Joining Toxic Melody with Alexa Rose shows that those on top know well how effective he can be.

Logan Alexander
The longest-reigning Survivor Champion has been on a streak since arriving and doesn't look ready to stop yet. His defeats are far and few between.


Feud of the Year
Mike Voland vs. Hyena
The former Frenzy battled one another through out the year for the World Heavyweight and U.S. Titles as well as just for the hell of it. They are what Eric and Snake once were.

Aurelei Jamison vs. Sarah D'Angelo
Constantly stymied in her quest to regain the World Women's Championship by the ACW Owner, Lady Death sought to bring family into things and even drew Sarah into the ring for a match. Despite punishment matches and on-the-fly stipulations, Aurelei flaunted her prowess and took the Owner down a notch.
