Stiff body slam
Ace Tanke has wrestled approximately twenty-five years in independents, including a few run by former BSW/SCCW star Stan Grubb. In fact, it was under Grubb that he made his first break from regional promotion Golden Wrestling, onto a more active roster. He quickly became one of the top stars while simultaneously establishing what would be an extremely long running feud with a monster known as Security, a member of a nWo inspired gang, with the same name. Ace Tanke, his nephew Wilde, niece Rebecca, and their friends, Jeff Duane and Shelly Hollins, formed Aceside in IWCW, and allied with another group dubbed "the Dungeon" by fans, along with an extreme tag team known as Menace 2 Society, a wrestler known as Sting, Scorpion, and later Dark Scorpion, and a wrestler known only as a "giant." The three cliques established themselves in the upper echelon, as they suffered through a painful split that divided IWCW into two separate federations, NAWA, and IWCW (which soon after merged with an older dying federation, NWW, and became known as NWICW). The first NAWA card with the crossover federations feuding turned out to be one of the last NAWA cards before the federation shut down. On it, Ace and the giant (known as Walking Doomsday) won the NAWA US tag team titles from Stan Grubb allies Power Express. After they had, though, Wilde Tanke, his sister Rebecca, Menace II Society, and Wilde allies Maximus_Ordicus and Gangsta destroyed Ace and the big man. Walking Doomsday had won the title only to have their friends and family turn on them. Wilde and his sister had chosen loyalties to Ordicus and the AFW over their own relative. The bad blood lasted for months and years to come. NWICW, dead at the time, revived itself magically, to take NAWA's place in the feud with AFW. For a while, AFW was clearly carrying the feud, until a French manager took over the NWICW, saving it from total boredom. AFW merged with a federation known as SIW, resulting in SAFW. Not long after, it shut down and was absorbed into NWICW, although the feud continued until the French president was replaced by Bill Neno, resulting in a return to suckiness. Wilde moved on, but Ace retired, and for the most part, stayed out of the limelight, aside from a handful of SCCW appearances and a run as SCCW vice president. Now, despite being in his fifties, he's finally decided to really make one last go at being in the NWC, despite previous fall through with a proposed MWA revival and other regions. |

He's also got a bit of a militant edge to him, influence by his brother, Wilde and Rebecca Tanke's dad. He started to lose his marbles a little as SCCW vp, but is a *little* better now. |
