The following matches took place during the Explosive Pre-Game Show, hosted by Jeremy Borash, SoCal Val and “The Genius” Lanny Poffo, and available exclusively on the Mash-Up Wrestling Network:
First Match: Kaientai defeated the Cuban Assassins by pinfall at 6:03 after Funaki hit Cuban Assassin Jr. with the Crane Kick. After the match, the Assassins got revenge on their opponents by giving them a vicious beatdown that cut their victory celebration short.
Second Match: Dean Malenko defeated Sylvain by forcing him to submit to the Texas Cloverleaf at 4:45.

What better way to kick off the show than with the hometown girl and AGPW Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus, taking over the ring? She comes down to the ring accompanied, as always, by Awesome Kong. Trish is getting cheered by the people of her city, that is, until she emerges from the entrance wearing a Los Angeles Kings hockey jersey. This prompts a Go Leafs Go! chant. The self-proclaimed “Big Event” of professional wrestling reminds her hometown that she doesn’t make a permanent residence there anymore, having chosen to leave the city, its horrible winter weather and terrible hockey team – the Toronto Maple Leafs – behind for the warmer climate and its Stanley Cup winning hockey team – the Los Angeles Kings – for the bright lights and hot nights of beautiful L.A. – the city made for champions like “Superstar” Billy Graham, the Los Angeles Kings and the “Big Event” Trish Stratus! As she starts talking about the long list of Toronto’s problems, she is finally stopped by…
Gail Kim, another hometown girl, and she gets a huge pop for wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey as she comes out to stand up for the hometown – Canada’s largest city and the ‘Centre of the Universe’ (of Canada) – Toronto! Kim declares that Stratus is a disgraceful representative of Toronto and a disgraceful Women’s Champion and says that the people of Toronto deserve to have a hometown champion that will represent them with dignity and respect. She challenges Stratus to put her title on the line, right here, right now! Of course, Stratus refuses, but she doesn’t get out of this challenge so easily. Commissioner Billy Two Rivers arrives to remind her that if she doesn’t defend the title tonight, then she’ll have to forfeit it for violating the mandatory title defence terms for holding a championship.
w/ VS.
Women’s Championship Match
Trish Stratus w/ Awesome Kong vs. Gail Kim
Trish Stratus w/ Awesome Kong vs. Gail Kim
A highly competitive hot opener that harkens back to their battles in the spring. Gail Kim has the fans firmly behind her. They chant Go Leafs Go! and calls for Trish Stratus to Eat Defeat are loud and often. Stratus is overwhelmed by Kim’s quick attack, but after creating a distraction to allow Awesome Kong to shove Kim off of the top turnbuckle and crash into the guardrail, Stratus is able to take over on offense. She gets a tremendous amount of heel heat in her hometown. The fans let her hear it. The You Sold Out! chants are deafening. As the match grows in length, both wrestlers rapidly trade the advantage. Multiple high impact moves are executed, followed by pinfall attempts that are kicked out of at the count of two. The drama of the multiple nearfalls adds another layer of intensity to the match that gets the hot Toronto crowd to reach a fever pitch. The ending comes when Stratus goes for Stratusfaction, only to have Kim slip free of the headlock and throw Stratus to the mat. She executes Eat Defeat and goes for the pin. 1…2….3 but there is no referee! He is tied up with Awesome Kong, who has climbed onto the ring apron to distract him. Gail Kim should be the new Women’s Champion. Kim gets up goes to get into an argument with the much larger Kong. She grabs Kim by the hair and threatens to punch her out. As the referee tries to break it up, Stratus is able to recover and crawl back to her feet. The referee manages to get in between Kong and Kim and when Kong lets go of Kim’s hair, Stratus is there to give Kim a bridging German suplex. 1…2…3! Trish Stratus wins and gets pelted with trash as she takes her title and slips back into her LA Kings jersey.
Official Decision: Trish Stratus wins by pinfall at 12:08
*Commercial Break 1*
VS.
Redneck Wrecking Crew w/ Jimmy Hart vs. Brute Force w/ Maryse Ouellet
Three out of four of the participants in this match were featured in singles action last week. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch of Redneck Wrecking Crew, and Rusev of Brute Force were in separate matches. Cade and Murdoch were unlucky to find themselves on the losing end of their matches. However, Rusev was dominating in his victory. His tag team partner, Magnus, had the night off. Although they both lost matches last week, the Rednecks, maintain positive atittudes and act like consummate professional sportsmen in the ring. They have better luck on this evening. Although, they struggle to handle Rusev’s punishing attacks when he is in the ring, Cade and Murdoch take control of the match when Magnus is the legal man. They do everything they can to keep Magnus from making a tag and eventually finish him off with their double team finisher, Sweet ‘n Sour. It earns them a pinfall victory. Curiously, Rusev made no attempt to break it up and didn’t leave his spot on the ring apron.
Official Decision: Redneck Wrecking Crew wins by pinfall at 6:53
At the conclusion of the match, Maryse and Rusev enter the ring. Maryse tells Magnus that tonight was his last chance to prove his worth. She says that he’s been tanking it for far too long and even admits that she sided with the wrong man when the Magnus & Cesaro team imploded. Following that verbal low blow, Maryse tells Magnus that she doesn’t manage talentless losers and has chosen to end their contract. Then, Rusev drops Magnus with a big jumping side kick! He scoops him up, gives him a swinging side slam and places him in the Accolade for about 20 seconds before releasing him, literally and figuratively from Maryse’s clientele.
*Commercial Break 2*
VS.
Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Édouard Carpentier
Two weeks ago, both Rowdy Roddy Piper and Édouard Carpentier competed in a fatal fourway contest. Neither man won the match. Instead, they were brawling with one another outside of the ring when the contest ended. Brawling, of course, is not Carpentier’s strong suit rather it is Piper’s. As a consequence, Piper started to really lay into the Flying Frenchman. On this night, they would grapple one-on-one with Piper attempting to turn the match into a brawl. However, Carpentier would dictate the pacing of most of the match by continuously going for headlocks to ground the Hot Rod, and then transitioning from those to other mat-based submission maneuvers. Piper, a Scotsman with a typical hot Scottish temperament, was increasingly frustrated by Carpentier’s mat attacks, which denied him the opportunity to fight the style that he wanted to. As a consequence, Piper finally couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to bring a steel chair into the ring. However, Carpentier evaded Piper’s chair swings with some somersaults and cartwheels, and he eventually got Piper into a crucifix pin for the three count and the victory. The Flying Frenchman gets the win, but he also gets assaulted with a steel chair after the match. Piper gives Carpentier multiple chair shots until Dean Malenko enters the ring and tackles Piper. They would have a brief tussle before officials separated them. Choice words were exchanged between the Hot Rod and the Iceman as we cut to commercial.
Official Decision: Édouard Carpentier wins by pinfall at 5:13
“The Iceman” Dean Malenko shows Édouard Carpentier his respect by helping his most recent competitive rival escape an assault from “Hot Rod” Rowdy Roddy Piper!
*Commercial Break 3*
Jeremy Borash is standing in the ring and announces Commissioner Billy Two Rivers into the arena to make a very special announcement. Two Rivers comes to the ring and announces that AGPW plans on ending the year with bang by holding its next pay-per-view spectacular on Sunday, December 28, 2014. He says that there will be a WAR ON THE EAST COAST to close out the year!
Suddenly, Kevin Steen shows up in the ring and he’s carrying the BCCW Middleweight Championship Title with him. The fans are cheering him on, but Commissioner Two Rivers is unimpressed. He tells Steen that he can’t come out on AGPW television with a rival company’s stolen title belt. Steen tells the Commissioner to lighten up and makes an appeal to the fans to see if they are happy to see him in possession of one of the enemy’s most prized possessions. They give him their approval. Two Rivers tells him that AGPW doesn’t want to have an international incident leading to a full blown territory war that blows up in the face of the company and that what he has done will almost certainly lead to that. Steen defends his actions, saying that he did this in the name of AGPW and Canadian professional wrestling, which BCCW has gone great lengths to try to tarnish over the last several months. He talks about the roles of the Illuminati and Californiacation, the Trish Stratus impersonator at a BCCW co-promoted event that was held in this very city back in July, and the recent anti-Canadian propaganda that has begun to seep into BCCW television programming lately, and claiming that they are all interconnected. Accounting for all of that, he says that he was more than justified in taking this title in the names of Canada and Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling! Two Rivers tells him that theft is never justified and threatens to terminate his employment if he continues to refuse to return the title, which earns a chorus of boos from the fans. Steen tells Two Rivers that they don’t want him to give it back, so he’s can’t do it. He has to keep it.
Then, a group of Boston strongmen hop the guardrail from different sides of the ring. Two Rivers and Steen suddenly notice that they are surrounded. It looks like Frank Scarpa, Tommaso Ciampa and Frank Sexton are here. They encircle the ring and make a play to get at Steen. Steen manages to slip away after knocking Ciampa down with a shot from the Middleweight Title. Steen joins the fans in the crowd, where he raises the title as the fans shower him with cheers and chants of Grand Prix! Grand Prix! Grand Prix! Sexton checks on his fallen comrade while Scarpa tells Commissioner Two Rivers that his employee took something that ‘belongs to us’ and since they weren’t able to take it back, AGPW will have to pay. Two Rivers tries to explain that AGPW management had nothing to do with it, but Scarpa isn’t buying it and he gives Commissioner Two Rivers a KO Punch! The Boston strongmen leave the seen before officials and police officers can get to the ring. Two Rivers was hit so hard that a stretcher was needed to remove him from the ring. This is total chaos in Toronto, tonight!
*Commercial Break 4*
VS.
AJ Lee vs. Fabulous Moolah
AJ Lee and Fabulous Moolah face each other after a feud between the two of them began two weeks ago. Prior to that, Fabulous Moolah returned from a few months hiatus to backup AJ Lee in her pursuit of the AGPW Women’s Championship. However, after Lee failed to win the title, she suddenly began singing the praises of Trish Stratus and chose to defend her against anyone who would dare stand up to her, like Moolah. Last week, Moolah retaliated for Lee’s unprovoked attack against her one week earlier. The crowd seems evenly split between the two grapplers. Moolah really lays into Lee during this battle. She’s intent on teaching the Black Widow of wrestling a thing or two about messing with the matriarch of professional wrestling. Moolah slams and suplexes Lee with authority. She also makes her suffer with multiple Moolah whips. Moolah takes Lee outside of the ring and continues to make her suffer by throwing her into the guardrail and ringsteps. Moolah makes a miscalculation by charging at Lee as she stands in front of the ringsteps. Lee hops out of the way and Moolah smashes her knee into the hard steel ring steps. Then, Lee climbs the steps and gives Moolah a tornado DDT onto the floor! Lee returns to the ring and gets the lucky countout victory.
Official Decision: AJ Lee wins by countout at 6:36
*Commercial Break 5*
VS.
Christian Cage vs. Bo Dallas
This grudge match is the result of two weeks of Bo Dallas telling Christian Cage that he is a worthless loser in a way that only he could. Two weeks ago, a frustrated Captain Charisma didn’t take kindly to Dallas’ assertion that he doesn’t BOLIEVE in himself and made him pay for it with a spear and Unprettier. Last week, Cage was distracted by Bo Dallas walking down the entrance aisle during his match, which led to him losing to Killer Kowalski. This time, however, Dallas got the better of him and emphatically stated that he would make Cage BOLIEVE. The opening minutes of this match are all Captain Charisma. He is aggressive and he is out to show the ‘Inspirational’ one that he’s bit off more than he can chew. Dallas routinely tries to escape the ring and Cage’s onslaught of offense, giving the match a bit of a cat and mouse feel to it. However, Dallas finally rolls away to freedom when Cage goes to the top turnbuckle, perhaps to go for the frog splash. Dallas plays possum on the outside of the ring and Cage falls into his trap, as Dallas runs him over with a stiff running clothesline. From there, he pummels Cage with several short-arm clotheslines, some suplexes and a variety of knee lifts and drops. However, before too long, Cage rallies and mounts a huge comeback. But as what seems to have become common place in his matches, just as he appears to be headed into the end game, the tables are turned on him. Bad Influence gets involved in the match! Cage executes the Unprettier on Dallas, but Kazarian distracts the referee as Christopher Daniels enters the ring and gives Cage the Angel’s Wings! He puts Dallas on top of him. The members of Californiacation make their retreat as the referee counts the fall and awards the victory to Bo Dallas, who gets the biggest win of his AGPW career!
Official Decision: Bo Dallas wins by pinfall at 9:13
Why did Bad Influence attack Christian Cage? Maybe we’ll find out next week!
*Commercial Break 6*
Jeremy Borash is backstage with AGPW owner Emile Duprée who tells JB that he is so fed up with everything that has gone on this year that he has had enough of it. He’s tired of having his company under attack by a group of malevolent Californians; as well as his own maleficent son, René Duprée; and rival professional wrestling companies from the south. He says that the hospitalization of his gentle, peaceful Commissioner is the last straw and he won’t take things sitting down anymore! It’s time to go on the offensive and that’s why AGPW is bringing the WAR ON THE EAST COAST to BOSTON, MA!
SoCal Val is standing by with the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, who offers to take her to the Hyatt for a spin on Space Mountain! Woooo! Then, he delivers a message to Bret “The Hitman” Hart. To be the man, you’ve got to beat the man! And last week – Woooo! – the Hitman failed to beat the man! The Nature Boy says that his shoes cost more than the Hitman’s run down home in the foothills of Calgary and that’s why the dirtiest player in the game is also the best player in the game! There is nobody in Canada that can compare with his greatness! Woooo!
*Commercial Break 7*
w/ VS.
International Heavyweight Championship Match
“Superstar” Billy Graham w/ “Classy” Freddie Blassie vs. Chris Jericho
“Superstar” Billy Graham w/ “Classy” Freddie Blassie vs. Chris Jericho
This is a rematch of their title bout from October 12 at MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL, which was won by “Superstar” Billy Graham. Chris Jericho felt cheated in that match because of interference by “Classy” Freddie Blassie. He keeps a watchful eye on Blassie throughout the opening minutes of the match, suspicious of what he might try to do to help Graham retain the title. With Graham in the ring, there is a lot of stalling early on. Jericho eventually manages to get the action started with a successful knife-edge chop attack. He uses his speed to hit Graham with running clotheslines, kicks and a flying forearm. Graham rolls out of the ring to regroup, but it doesn’t help much, as when he climbs back onto the ring apron, Jericho hits him with a corner springboard dropkick. He follows that up with a springboard plancha! The match continues outside of the ring, where Graham is able to take control of the match, thanks in no small part to Blassie distracting Jericho long enough for Graham to recover and then run him over with a clothesline. After that, Graham does a fair of damage on the outside, before taking the match back into the ring, where he works over Jericho with a headlock that he occasionally breaks to execute a power move and attempt a pin. But he keeps going back to the headlock to wear him down. Jericho mounts a short comeback, but Graham stops it before his momentum gets out of control and he regains control of the match with a superplex! Graham decides to go for a camel clutch, but Jericho eventually breaks free and gives Graham an enzigurri kick! A back-and-forth exchange of fists is won by Graham and he puts Jericho in a full-nelson, but Jericho runs up the turnbuckle and lands on top of Graham for an unorthodox pin, forcing Graham to break the hold. Another quick exchange of blocks, ducks and counters ends with Jericho executing the Codebreaker! Just as he did the last time Jericho challenged Graham, Blassie pulls the champion out to the floor to avoid being pinned. However, unlike the last time, Blassie gets his comeuppance as Jericho takes him down with a springboard plancha!
And that’s when Bad Influence strikes again! While the referee is busy trying to get Christopher Daniels to go away, Kazarian smokes Jericho on the chin with a superkick! Christian Cage runs out now and he gets into a skirmish with Daniels, which keeps the referee distracted while Kazarian places Jericho on one of the ringside announce team’s table and then breaks the table by executing a springboard spinning leg drop on Jericho! When Graham recovers, he brings Jericho back into the ring, gives him a piledriver and pins him for the 3-count and the victory! “Superstar” Billy Graham retains the title and Bad Influence changes the outcome of another match, tonight, much to the displeasure and disapproval of the packed Air Canada Centre.
Official Decision: “Superstar” Billy Graham wins by pinfall at 13:47
