Rumor: Goku vs. Vegeta
The match between Goku and Vegeta was rumored at Animania I but was never made. However, the rumors have now been risen again to happen at Animania II. Some say the match will be a "Retirement Match", which will mean one retires from ACW and the Anime world, also their GM spot. Others say it will be a "Final Match", to decide who was the better person. Even others are saying it could be an "Interpromotional Match" with an Impulse star representing Goku and an Excel star representing Vegeta after months of Excel and Impulse stars "invading" one's brand.

ACW Animania II will be held at the Madison Square Garden in New York, New York.
