In the squared circle, they don't come better than Albert Christian Hardie Jr., aka professional wrestler ACH. The globe-trotting, high-flying, hard-hitting, broad-smiling Austin hero has put the hurt on his opponents in every major promotion, from New Japan Pro-Wrestling to Ring of Honor. Now, wrestling as Jordan Myles for the WWE's NXT brand, the man they call the King of Texas is bringing his skills to a national audience. But it's as the man behind wrestling stable Team Super Academia, and as a mentor to many, that we celebrate his impact.
