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.

Justin Michaels
Justin Michaels, who is known as “Stormm” by his fans and colleagues, is currently on leave from PCW, but is still considered a part of the roster. Stormm started his PCW career in 2005 at Trauma 31 and has been a force to be reckoned with ever since. Stormm’s first PCW Championship opportunity came at Mass Destruction I against PCW Hall of Famer Ace Anderson, which he was unsuccessful at capturing.
Despite winning The Icemann Invitational Tournament in the later half of 2006 and also trading the Genesis Championship with Rodney Phoenix, it wasn’t until Return to Glory 3 in 2011 that Stormm finally got his chance to be called PCW Champion after he defeated a different PCW Hall of Famer, LoKi, for the title in a Cage Match. Unfortunately, Stormm was unable to retain the title for long, losing it back to LoKi a few weeks later at Trauma 100. Stormm’s current PCW record sits at 32 wins, 34 losses, and 12 draws; He holds the #11 spot on the PCW Power Rankings 100.
