Official statement on the passing of Camron "Spiro" Bates:
As a wrestling promoter, you never expect to have to blog about something like this. Our business is based on the suspension of disbelief & quite frankly, none of us want to believe this. It’s all too real. We at Anarchy Championship Wrestling would like to offer condolences to the family, friends and fans of Camron “Spiro” Bates. He was with ACW off and on from day one. The entire roster will tell you; he was a great guy, a gentle soul & a helping hand. What many don’t know is Camron had a hand in training a large portion of the ACW roster. Camron’s contributions to the professional wrestling business will live on far into the future. Thank you. You’re already missed.

- Darin Childs

Spiro in the words of his fellow Anarchists:

“One Man” Mike Dell
Camron Bates (Spiro) has passed away. I will miss him dearly. We talked at least 2-3 times a week and always got together for road trips for wrestling. We tried out for TNA together. I can't believe this has happened. I will miss him so much. Please have him in your hearts.
I also want to say that Spiro was not just a fellow wrestler to me, but a great friend. One of my best! I miss him so much already. He was one of the best wrestlers in this state and 1 of my best friends!! I love you man. Please be at peace now...

Angel Blue
Wow such a sad day in indy wrestling today as we lost one of our wrestlers. RIP Spiro aka Camron Bates. You were a great guy and I was honored to get to meet you. You will truly be missed...

Matthew Palmer
Camron Bates/Spiro always tried to help me whenever he could. He was a kind man and I will always remember him as one. R.I.P. Spiro. Spiro always took me aside after every one of my matches to help me. He'd show me how to properly move about the ring and to hit harder. Sometimes we'd never mesh well in the ring, but it never stopped me from wanting to learn more from him. He was kind and polite. That's how I'll always remember him.

Killah Kash
I can't believe this R.I.P SPIRO The guy was the epitome of professional.
He was a part of Booker T's PWA in the early years. And ACW and many other companies. He has been all over the world and been seen on WWE TV. On a personal note he was a man that I had a lot of respect for. I watched him not just as a wrestler but also as a fan

Scot Summers
RIP~CAMRON BATES AKA *SPIRO~YOU WERE A TRUE GENTLEMAN & ONE HELL OF A PRO WRESTLER. YOU WILL BE MISSED. . .

Evan Gelistico
Lost an Anarchist today, goodbye Camron you were a great guy & I loved our random discussions. My prayers go out to your friends and family

Darin Childs
Terribly saddened by the passing of a friend. What is there to say? I wish I could have done more. I hope you're finally at peace. Much Love

Slim Sexy
Woke up this morning hoping it was a bad dream, but still reading about the passing of Spiro. To me this is really the sad day in Pro Wrestling. All the other loses are sad too but I’m guessing because it closer to home and because I called him my friend. Spiro, I will always remember the advice, the work ethics, the true professional in this crazy ass business! Rest in Peace My Friend and My brother.

JC Bravo
Spiro , glad to have known you as a fan and as a peer and will keep with me what u trained me forever , RIP brother, very sadden by news

Chingo del Santo
Just heard the sad news about Camron Bates aka Spiro. One of the very few who trained me about this business we love so much. No words can say what I feel right now. One of the best wrestlers and trainers that I ever knew. His passion for this business was beyond others. R.I.P. Spiro We will miss you dearly.

Draven
RIP Camron Bates aka Spiro, thank you so much for giving me advice in the ring in ways I could improve myself, you will be missed, and never forgotten. One thing I knew and learned about Spiro, he lived for this life, undoubtedly one of the best in Texas. He proved height didn't mean as much as everyone thinks in this business. His power and speed and technicality is what he used to over throw the competition, I'll never forget the talks and advice you gave me in and out of the ring, you will forever be in our hearts

Highroller Hayze
RIP Camron Bates better known as Spiro to us in the wrestling world. You will missed by all of us.

Pierre Abernathy
RIP to Spiro. Prayers to his family and friends in this horrible time.

Miss Maulie
The news about the loss of a personal friend & teacher is heartbreaking. I hope that there will be memorial services for Camron Bates in Texas. He will certainly not be forgotten here.

Sky de Lacrimosa
At a loss for words... I really don't know what to say..

Jr Garza Lunar Eclipse
To Camron Bates you were a great friend and taught me so much about the craft you love so much. God bless you and watch over us

JT LaMotta
Spiro you will be missed and I think you'd be surprised how many people are shouting out. I don't think I could think of one bad thing to say about the guy. Always was excited and wanted to do more than usual whenever we were paired up...rest peacefully.

Lillie Mae
I remember being scared of Spiro. Then one time before a show he wanted to chain with me. Without hesitation I jumped in the ring. I learned more in two hours with him than I had in the 6 months prior. I loved Spiro. God give him peace!

Franco D'Angelo
So yeah what I saw earlier was true...Spiro thanks for being u and being great bro! Time to TAKEOVER HEAVEN RIP brother!

Ricky Romida
After hearing the news today, I had a loss of words. I truly didn't want to believe it happened. Today everyone lost a great trainer, a great mentor, and a great friend. I looked up to Spiro. He was someone who had great mind for wrestling. I will always remember the workouts in Lytle, and the knowledge I gained from him. He is one of the few people that have helped me to improve and evolve in my wrestling career. Thank you for everything, and Good journey my friend.


Spiro was a phenomenal wrestler in every aspect. He had the look, the talent. Great ring psychology. I will never forget him as my best friend and one of the best wrestlers ever.

Other Titles Held: IHWE Tag Team Champ, WBW Tag Team Champ, TCW Womans Champ, TWF Womans Champ

Notable Feuds and Alliances: (In her own words)

In my illustrious career, few have had the opportunity to be in "alliance" with me. Most notably, in my early days at ACW, I was aligned with the Smurf Nation, though everybody knows it was me that made that group special. Since returning to ACW from a hiatus, I have aligned myself with Darin Childs.

As far as "feuds" go, I consider myself in an ongoing fued with the entire Joshi division, as I should be the rightful holder of the title and when I get it, all of the other Joshi's will want a piece of me. However, 2 people I have an extensive history with include Barbi Hayden and ACW Joshi Champion Athena.

Personal History: (In her own words)

So...you wanna know more about Angel Blue, eh? I was born in the eternal darkness known as Fairbanks Alaska, but even there, a bright light followed everywhere i go as, well, there's just something special about me. I moved to the DFW area and began my quest to take over womans wrestling by training under Lance Hoyt and Wally Darkmon. After completing the training, I began to travel around Texas making a name for myself, when a friend helped me get into ACW, and the rest they say, is history! Unfortunately, that history includes a short hiatus from ACW, but now i'm BACK to reclaim what is rightfully mine, The ACW Joshi Title! Anything else about my "history" can be documented on ACW dvd...so go buy one and watch The MegaStar!!!

Personal History: (In his own words) After a short career in football I didn’t want to waste my athletic ability and personality, and do some boring 9 to 5 job, so I thought that wrestling is the perfect balance of personality and athletic ability. I joined a school learned the ins and outs. I’ve been told that I am one of the most athletic big men in the sport, and there is nothing I love more then seeing the expression on peoples faces when I do something I’m not supposed to be physically able to do… my favorite thing to do is wait for ACH to do something new then when me and him workout together I do the same thing he did. He always throws a fit and I love it.

Notable Feuds and Alliances: (In his own words) "Gotta shout out to the Random Collection of Wrestlers. Jeff's cool, even though he kinda weirds me out at times, but Big Ricky is like my long lost big brother. He's carried me to the locker room more times than I care to share! Can't stand The Submission Squad though; especially [Evan] Gelistico. Despite their numerous accolades, there's nothing more annoying than a pack of rats who think themselves a pack of wolves. Let it be known that the day will come where I face him one on one and no Squad will stand in my way! And I want my tights back Gary [Jay]!"

Personal History: (In his own words) “I was kind of a late bloomer as far as the “wrestling bug” goes. I didn’t start watching until about the age of 12, but was head over heels in love after that. So the only logical thing was to actually DO it, right?! Right! I did the amateur thing in high school and did gymnastics as a kid, so that really helped me transition into the ring and create the style you see today.

Despite my athletic ability, when I was first starting out, I was a bit uh . . . well, boring to be quite honest. So for a “kick in the pants”, it became pre match tradition to slam an energy drink or two or three. Needless to say, the guy that came through those curtains was anything but boring, and on the competitive side, that volatility made for a stunning amount of victories, so it just kinda became the norm!

Anyhow, kicked around the indy scene and I guess I turned enough heads to wind up in ACW aaaaand here I am!”

Notable Feuds and Alliances: (In his own words)
I have pissed off my fair share of people in this business. I like to make things personal. When people insult me, it's cute and funny, and people laugh. But the moment I retaliate, suddenly it hits too close to home and the mood changes. So, to all the people I've pissed off, here's my list of apologies:

Phoenix Twins: We had epic battles and spilled blood. We could've been close like brothers, but instead you were selfish. So we took your mentor from you (one of my best friends in this business Joey Eastman). So I apologize that you are upset because Joey liked us more than you.

Children: To all the families who bring their kids, and to all the little binlids that heckle me. I know I've said you should be aborted, and said I would punch you in the face, but I want you to know...I've meant it everytime. So I apologize to them that their parents don't know how to raise them right and produced terrible offspring.

Midwest Ground and Air: For a long time in the Midwest no matter were the NSE went, we would always lock horns. We've had every kind of match you could imagine. In numerous states. But now, I have to apologize that we no longer get to do tags anymore...since I'm moving on. Singles time!!!

Gator McGraw:
Sorry you don't like slow-motion and think I'm the downfall of pro wrestling. And sorry that I will keep doing slow-motion and partake in pro wrestling events. Keep those video reviews coming.

However, I do have my fair share of friends:

For a long time, I was a member of the Northstar Express (I'm a natural tag wrestler) and Ryan Cruz and I raised hell and tickled funny bones all over the Midwest. Try and watch our stuff and not be entertained. If you can, I don't think you have a soul. And I know about not having a soul. I'm a ginger.

Robert Evans:
Some of you may remember this fine fellow from ACW. Robert has been serving as a mentor of sorts for me up in St Louis Anarchy. He's trying to show me how to be a moral, upstanding citizen. He's taught me the importance of not cursing, the dangers of promiscuous sex, and the evils of drugs and alcohol. But, to be honest, it's pretty fuckin' hard to not swear and do that shit.

Arik Cannon:
My trainer, my travel partner, and one of my closest friends. We have traveled the world together and been to numerous promotions. We leave our mark everywhere we go, and people like us cause we are Minnesota Nice. It's not just a saying, it's a fact.

Joey Eastman:
My manager, friend, and epic hug partner. I will be a member of JEWW for as long as I still put on a pair of exuberant tights.

Personal History: (In his own words)
"The past 7 and 1/2 years have been a constant learning experience and series of adaptations for me. Whenever I thought I was on the cusp of something big, things change and it's back to the drawing board. But being forced to evolve as a performer showed me that you can only do that upon constant self-evaluation. Nobody is going to show you how it's done, nobody is there to hold your hand, you have to go out and make it yourself. People come and go, friends come and go, but if you have the perseverance to stick around you will stand out from the pack. Just like I've done. My history in this business is me finding my own footing by myself, and finally people are starting to take notice. Whether you think I'm a comedy act, I'm not the epitome of your ideal wrestler, or you just can't stand the fact I get under your skin...I'm going to be around for a while. So onto the future and continuing to raise eyebrows and leaving memorable performances wherever I go."
