Magnum’s Thoughts on the Upcoming ECWA Show
The ECWA’s October 25, 2008 show is Super 8 Tournament night. If each event in professional wrestling was a holiday, the Super 8 would be pro wrestling’s Christmas. Every year enthusiastic wrestling fans wait and wait until the big night arrives. In addition to the big dance, there’s also a Tag Team Summit over-the-top-rope match plus the retirement of Indy Icon, Ace Darling. So, where should Magnum begin?
Let’s start with the Super 8 Tournament. Once again Jim Kettner has put together a great mix of talent, charisma, and entertainment. The local boys – Aden Chambers, Chase Del Monte, and Loca Vida – welcome Alex Koslov, Maverick, Frankie Arion, Scott Reed, and Shannon Moore into the hallowed halls of the ECWA. Magnum admits it – he’s looking forward to watching who will reign supreme this year. The action should be non-stop and uber entertaining.
And oh yes, the Tag Team Summit. Remember back, if you will, to May 10, 2008. The ECWA debut of your favorite entertainer, the magnificent one, the awesome entity, MAGNUM. On that historic night, Commissioner Naegele thought he was getting the better of Magnum by inserting his awesomeness into the Olympiad rumble match. And what happened? Magnum won!! Now, although Magnum is a MANAGER and would normally put his lawyers to work about being forced to wrestle, we can never forget that there is no limit to Magnum’s awesomeness. Paired with Frederick of Hollywood as a partner, I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more confident. And once the fans see Magnum’s brand new, couture in-ring ensemble, they’ll realize that there has never before been anything so fantastic in all of pro wrestling.
Ace Darling. “Indy Icon” is not just a nickname. It’s a fact. Inside the ring his talent is hard to match; on the mic he cuts compelling and entertaining promos that everyone should learn from; and in the locker room he is a coach, a friend, and an inspiration. The ECWA, the fans, and professional wrestling are losing a hero. Good luck, Ace.
And how could I forget – the pre-show Halloween Costume Contest! Forgive me while I pause to laugh…
OK.
When I think of a Halloween costume, I think of something creepy, scary, or funny. But the ECWA fans are already creepy, scary, and funny!!! So what will their costumes have to offer? I don’t know if I should be afraid, or relieved that many of their ugly mugs will be behind a mask. We shall see!
Come one, come all to a great night of athleticism, entertainment, and awesomeness!

Thank you, Ace.
It hasn't even been a month yet and the ECWA already feels far too empty for my tastes. It hasn't even been official yet, but somehow it already seems you have been gone too long. The locker room is a little quieter and I don't like it one bit. The ECWA just isn't the same without Ace Darling in it.
Just about 13 years ago, I walked into my first ECWA show as a fan and Ace Darling was there. Ace was flying higher than I thought possible, telling a grand story, sucking me in completely with his match. A few months later, as I became a part of the ECWA, a part of the ring crew whilst I trained at Wrestle Tech, Ace proved to be what I thought of him was true, Ace Darling is one heck of a nice guy. A class act who always had not just a handshake for the boys, but for everyone who worked on the show. When I became a part of the show, Ace taught me a lot. He taught me about storytelling, how to suck the crowd in and most importantly, a lesson I share today with the kids who come through, to be selfless with your knowledge and use it to get the next generation ready.
I have shared the spotlight with Ace Darling for 10 years and I was completely blessed to be able to do so. Ace is and always will be the definition of professional when I think of Professional Wresting. He arrived early, gave of himself completely in his match, holding nothing back and made sure that the fans got their money's worth.
Ace came to see me as an equal in the locker room, a fellow veteran who followed the old rules, but I will never be an equal to Ace Darling. Ace is the level I hold myself to in front of the curtain and behind and I still have a long road ahead of me before I can think I am an equal to Ace Darling in any way. I can only hope I'm able to leave a mark on the ECWA like Ace did when I finally walk away.
Ace, you are and always will be one of the greats. I thank you for everything you have taught me and I promise to try to do the ECWA justice like you have throughout your career. You will be missed and remember, if you miss it too much, just grab a mask and come have fun with us as El Darling.

Aden Chambers Wishes Ace Darling Well
Mike Tobin hit the nail on the head friends. Ace Darling is a once in a lifetime performer and person. It is unheard of for someone like him to extend the olive branch of friendship and knowledge to so many people. To be privileged enough to get to know Ace on a one on one basis is just awesome, and to learn from him is an honor because you are going to get the honest truth which in life today is hard to receive about anything. Ace is a genuinely great human being and I cannot praise him enough for the good he has done for myself and my peers.
Jim Kettner got himself a diamond in the rough when Ace Darling came to his organization (I know you like that pun Ace). We should all strive to be able to pattern our career's after his, one can only hope to get a send off like his... but we all know with this business, Never Say Never.

Thank You Ace Darling
I want to say a few words about the retirement of Ace Darling. For the past 17 years Ace has set the standard for all of us who tried to follow him. His track record for having some of the most memorable matches we have ever seen is a mile long. I can spend all day talking about his accomplishments. So can he (just kidding). What I want to talk about is the guy who for the past few years did what most people in our business don't. HE GAVE BACK!! The man did it all in the ECWA and spent many years giving back to the company that he took to another level. Every one of us in that locker room owe him a debt of gratitude. He was always there to offer advice, help you out and if you had the privilege to wrestle him you know you left the ring that night a better wrestler. Just take a look at this year’s Super 8 lineup. Ask Aden Chambers and Chase Del Monte how much being mentored by and wrestling Ace made them better over the years. What I am trying to say is THANK YOU!
Veterans like Ace, Glen Osborne, and all the other people who have passed through the ECWA the last 41 years coming back to help the young talent evolve have made ECWA one of the most respected promotions in the history of wrestling.
I can say that getting to know Ace for the past five years has been a true honor. Any time you wanted real advice, feedback or a good Vince McMahon impersonation Ace Darling was the man. A true locker room leader and a true friend. This last few months being away from the ECWA injured it was conversations with Ace and his words that made that time a lot easier. So to the man who put the Super 8 on the map I want to say Thank You!
I think I speak for the entire ECWA roster when I say you will be missed and when you get tired of being a civilian and want to lace them up one more time we will be waiting!!!
Good Luck and God Bless!
