ACW's Franchise Has Returned!The Franchise of A.C.W has finally returned to ACW after a 10 month absence. Due to injuries and situations beyond his control, Brian Sire was sidelined Christmas week of 2003. A dislocated kneecap and torn muscles in both knees set The Franchise on the shelf and out of action for what seemed like forever. After months of rehab, The Franchise returned to ACW on September 18th at the V.F.W Hall on Bedford St., Fall River Massachusetts to a very surprised crowd, and a even more surprised Dave Oliveira, The owner of ACW. Mr. Oliveira, Owner and leader of The Youth had fired The Franchise back in December after The Franchise was unable to compete due to the injuries. Oliveira had The Youth, which consists of Michael Thorne and Scott Levesque, jump Sire as he was leaving the ring at the top of the show. After pummeling and choking out The Franchise, Sire was helped to the back by ACW Champion, Scottie Jive. Oliveira, figuring The Franchise was out of the way now, proceeded to turn on Havoc, The Portuguese bad boy of ACW with a short temper. As Havoc received a beat down from Oliveira and others, Sire reappeared from the locker room and cleared house delivering "The DisenFranchised", a modified RKO, to Oliveira and then pulled Havoc onto him, allowing Havoc the victory. Sire then reentered the ring with a sledgehammer to keep away Oliveira and his cohorts. An alliance has once again been made between Havoc and Sire, who used to be in a group known as Rated X, as Sire thru up the "X" along with Havoc. Also, The Franchise made a point to mention that if it wasn't for him, Mac Echo would not be where he is. Echo has claimed on many occasions that he has never needed anyones help to achieve anything, including the ACW Heavyweight title which Echo held back in June of 2001. Echo and Sire were best of friends and were the "founding fathers" of such stables as The N.B.A (New Born Alliance) and Rated: X. The Feud between these two superstars is sure to heat up. Sire even made it a point to ref Echo's match at the show, something Echo was not to happy about. Sire remained neutral throughout the match, but only time will tell before these two's egos collide.
