Slither
Slither was one of the first PCW Superstars that really helped put PCW on the map. Slither joined the company in 2005 and during his time became a 2x PCW World Champion; Well, really one-time if you want to be literal about it, but the record books shows two-time champion, so he was a two-time champion. Many regard Slither as being in the right place at the right time (he got his opportunities at a time when Landon Divine and Kyle Cross were both ready to exit the PCW), but no matter how you look at it, Slither found a way to win when it mattered. In-fact, Slither may be PCW’s Most Clutch Performer (<-- which will be a category in the next Iceys, remember it).
However, despite being clutch, Slither didn’t amount to much after his two PCW Championships reigns and, while popping up from time to time, has been pretty absent from PCW since his original departure in 2006. Slither’s record is the dreadful looking 10 wins, 21 losses, and 1 draw, though he did finish #23 in the PCW Power 100 rankings.

Ace Anderson
Where to even begin with Ace Anderson? Let’s see…Ace is probably the most respected, most established “homegrown” PCW talent in its history, and for very good reason- Ace has done it all in PCW. And that includes being the first (and at the time of this writing, only) true PCW Grandslam Champion- that is, winning every PCW championship that the promotion has to offer, including the PCW Championship. Heck, he even won The Icemann Invitational Tournament…twice (first defeating LoKi in 2005, which saw him become North American Champ in the process, and then defeating Kelli Starr 8 years later in the tournament final that he went into as Genesis Champion. Random note: Ace went on to win both matches, sorta, that he cashed the TIIT contract in).
Unfortunately, the former “Greatness in the Flesh” and “Beyond Greatness” grappler suffered a horrendous neck injury in 2013 during an International Championship title defense against MONROE. That injury not only cost Ace the belt, but resulted in a broken neck which ultimately caused Ace to retire. Despite the injury, Ace is a legend in the business and should be remembered as such. He finished his PCW career ranked #2 in the PCW Power 100 with a win/loss/draw record of 64 wins, 36 losses, and 7 draws.
