It’s time for another show-opening promo from Californiacation, the group bankrolled by René Duprée, the son of AGPW owner Emile Duprée, who seeks to destroy everything his father has worked so hard to achieve (he’s out here, too). AGPW is in hostile territory. The crowd is smaller than usual, but very passionate and vocal. And they are cheering for Californiacation. The group brags about how “Superstar” Billy Graham continues to hold the International Heavyweight Championship and how AGPW’s favourite Canadian wrestling heroes – Christian Cage and Chris Jericho – were laid to ruin last week. They receive a chorus of cheers for this. Californiacation says that it is moving into the next phase of its plan and instead of worrying about where the championship gold is, the group is getting ready to exterminate certain Canadian fan favourites from the active roster, which is why long-time Californiacation foes Cage and Jericho were attacked last week.
Emile Duprée has heard enough. He comes out to a rather unfriendly reception, but he doesn’t care. He hears the fans and incites them to jeer him even more by saying that he brought DSN to Manchester to show these people that AGPW’s best Canadian wrestlers can put any New Englander to shame in the ring. Getting back on topic, he says that he’s tired of all of the crap that he’s had to put up with them over the last year. So he’s ready to lay it all on the line – including control of his very company. He wants the International Heavyweight Championship title back and he wants Californiacation to be out of his hair once and for all. Therefore, at WAR ON THE EAST COAST, in Boston, MA, in the main event, it will be “Superstar” Billy Graham defending the International Heavyweight Championship against Bret “The Hitman” Hart. But this won’t just be any normal title match. It’ll also be fought for control of AGPW. If Graham wins, he keeps the title and René Duprée will become the principal owner of AGPW. However, if Hart wins, he becomes the champion and Emile’s son will be legally banished from AGPW forever!
Hold on just a moment. It’s the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair! Wooooo! The fans are decidedly pro-Flair. He has a problem with this announcement because Duprée brought Hart in to beat the man, but he hasn’t beaten the man. No, the man still stands tall. Hart failed to beat the “Nature Boy” when they wrestled for 60-minutes in an Iron Man match at MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL 2014, and he also failed to beat the “Nature Boy” when they fought two weeks ago. So if anyone should be getting a shot at the International Heavyweight Champion it should be Flair, so he says. Duprée hears him out and says that he brought Hart to AGPW to prevent outsiders like Californiacation and Ric Flair and from embarrassing the company. After Hart stopped Flair from winning the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Championship at an AGPW sanctioned event, Emile entrusts “The Hitman” to take on the toughest assignments in defence of his company. He knows deep down that Hart will defeat Graham and help him banish his son René from AGPW and he knows that there is no way that Flair can stop him, which is why he has no qualms about giving Flair what he wants – tonight “Nature Boy” Ric Flair will face Bret “The Hitman” Hart with the winner to face “Superstar” Billy Graham at WAR ON THE EAST COAST!
*Commercial Break 1*
VS.
Tazaro vs. Cuban Assassins
Taz and Cesaro are the North American Tag Team Champions. They last wrestled three weeks ago when they successfully defended the titles against former champions Bad Influence. Tonight, they take on the Cuban Assassins. The Assassins don’t win often, but they always give their opponents a tough fight. They really enjoy brawling and they engage the champions in a ringside brawl, but it doesn’t do them any good on this particular occasion. Taz and Cesaro are more than up for the romp around ringside. When they bring the battle back into the ring, both Taz and Cesaro suplex the crap out of the Cuban Assassins on their way towards victory. The match ends when Cesaro gives Cuban Assassin Jr. the Neutralizer and covers him for the 3-count.
Official Decision: Tazaro wins by pinfall at 5:52
*Commercial Break 2*
VS.
Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Dean Malenko
Last week, Rowdy Roddy Piper was a poor sport and attacked Édouard Carpentier after losing a match to him. Dean Malenko, who recently fought Carpentier tooth and nail and a series of competitive matches, came to Carpentier’s aid. It wasn’t the second time that Malenko came to bail out Carpentier from attacks by Piper. Thus, Piper demanded a match against Malenko. Piper attacks Malenko before the bell, jumping him in the entrance aisle. Piper does what he does best and that’s put Malenko through a barroom brawl all around ringside. Piper sends Malenko crashing into ringsteps and drives his head into the ringpost. He does quite a number on “The Iceman” until he tries to assault him with a chair, but it is pulled out of his hands by Carpentier! Piper tries to slug him out, but Carpentier blocks and gives him some punches and chops before tossing him into the ring. The match officially begins several minutes after the fight started. The Man of 1000 Holds starts to go to work on Piper with a variety of suplexes. He builds a ton of momentum, but gets stalled setting up for a double underhook suplex. Piper counters it and charges back into the match with a scoop bodyslam and a running bulldog. Later, he goes for a figure four leglock. Malenko eventually turns it over on Piper, forcing him to crawl to the ropes for a break. The battle goes back-and-forth until Malenko decides to climb the turnbuckle. Piper lunges into the ropes to crotch him on the top turnbuckle. Then, he sets up for a superplex, but Malenko blocks it and knocks Piper to the mat. He follows it up with a diving hurricanrana with a cradle pin, but only gets two! After another short exchange, Malenko executes a release German suplex and then slaps on the Texas cloverleaf, which forces Piper to submit after he tries but fails to get to the ropes. After the match, Carpentier joins Malenko in the ring to celebrate.
Official Decision: Dean Malenko wins by submission at 7:10 (time doesn’t count pre-bell brawling time)
*Commercial Break 3*
SoCal Val is joined by “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage and “Y2J” Chris Jericho, who were both victims of attacks by Bad Influence, last week. Val asks them about this and the comments made earlier in the show by Californiacation that they have targeted Cage and Jericho as the first members of AGPW to be ‘exterminated.’ Cage and Jericho tell her that Christopher Daniels and Kazarian made huge mistakes by attacking them last week because they will get their revenge. They say that it isn’t much of a surprise that Californiacation wants to eliminate them from AGPW since they’ve been enemies for an eternity. However, inspired by Emile Duprée’s bold decision to put his company on the line, they’ve decided to do the same thing. They hereby challenge Bad Influence to a match that favours the former TNA X division stalwarts – they offer to give Californiacation the opportunity to make them go away, provided Bad Influence puts their contracts on the line, too, in a Losers Leave Town Ultimate X Match! The challenge has been made. But will Bad Influence accept?
Our cameras capture a backstage encounter/meeting between the two Hart brothers. Owen is stretching to get ready for his fatal fourway match, coming up after the next commercial break, and Bret shows up to have a few words with him. He tells Owen that he doesn’t know why nor does it matter to him why Owen has been at odds with his fellow Calgarians, including family like Tyson Kidd. He tells him that he believes that his brother is a better man than he has allowed himself to be portrayed over the past year and thinks he should come home and make amends with the city where he was born and raised – Calgary. Owen hears him out, but tells his brother that he is Calgary’s favourite pariah and everyone is against him. Bret tells him that isn’t the case and says that he’d be welcomed home with open arms, reminding him that Stampede roots run deep. He tells Owen to think about it and to call him anytime if he wants to talk.
*Commercial Break 4*
VS. VS. VS.
Bo Dallas vs. Samoa Joe vs. Owen Hart vs Tyson Kidd
This fatal fourway match almost seems like a foregone conclusion with Samoa Joe competing in it. It has been a year since he joined AGPW and, in that time, he has only suffered one loss inside of the ring (to the current International Heavyweight Champion). Bo Dallas is coming off of the biggest victory of his career, having defeated Christian Cage last week, albeit with an assist from Bad Influence, and he is looking to gain momentum with another victory here. Meanwhile, there are a pair of Calgarians in Owen Hart and Tyson Kidd. Family members through marriage, but enemies thanks to Owen’s crusade earlier in the year against anyone other than himself who uses the sharpshooter. Hart and Kidd pick up their hostilities in this match. Dallas also looks very good while pairing off with Hart or Kidd, but he’s overwhelmed when squaring off against the Samoan Submission Machine, who just seems to be on a whole other level than everyone else in this match. He looks damn near unshakable until he takes a vicious enziguiri kick from Hart. He manages to kick out of the follow up pinfall, but then has to roll out to the floor to recover. Dallas executes the Bo-Dog on Kidd and goes for the pin, but Hart makes the save.
Kidd rolls out to the floor, where he is jumped by the Boston strongmen – Frank Scarpa, Tommaso Ciampa and Frank Sexton – much to the delight of this partisan New England crowd! This brings Lance Storm out, but a 3-on-2 is too much for them. Hart has just put Dallas in the sharpshooter when he notices the battle going on outside of the ring. Perhaps, taking his brother’s words to heart, he releases Dallas and runs over to take out the enemies with a slingshot plancha! Hart helps to even the score and the trio of Calgarians battle back, making a fight of it. Meanwhile, Joe and Dallas resume the battle inside of the ring, but not for long, as Joe makes Dallas submit to the Coquina Clutch!
Official Decision: Samoa Joe wins by submission at 10:38
*Commercial Break 5*
VS. w/
Magnus vs. Rusev w/ Maryse
The former tag team members of Brute Force face off in this one. It was just last week when they were still teaming together. Brute Force lost to the Redneck Wrecking Crew. Magnus took the pinfall loss. Considered the weak link to the team, Maryse decided to dismiss him as a client and Rusev put a beating in on him. Magnus looks for revenge and also to prove that Maryse made a mistake by letting him go. He has a hard go of it early on, but has a mid-match rally. However, Rusev snuffs it out pretty quickly by giving Magnus a body block after he runs to the ropes. When Magnus tries to get up, Rusev gives him a spinning heel kick and follows it up with a swinging side slam and The Accolade for the win. Rusev is clearly the superior wrestler and super athlete!
Official Decision: Rusev wins by submission at 4:48
SoCal Val is standing by with the Bad Influence of AGPW – Christopher Daniels and François Kazarian to find out what their response is to the challenge issued to them by Vitamin C – Christian Cage and Chris Jericho. While both Daniels and Kazarian feel that a challenge for an Ultimate X match is very favourable for them, they ultimately choose to decline the challenge and give a convoluted excuse about how competing in a Losers Leave Town match is not the best way to ‘exterminate’ Cage and Jericho, even though ridding them of AGPW is their goal.
Emile Duprée enters the scene to disagree with them. He thinks it is the perfect platform for them to achieve their goal of forcing Cage and Jericho out of AGPW. And he was so moved by Vitamin C’s willingness to take huge risks for his company, and expresses a great deal of faith in them, that he decided to sign the match. There is no way out of it for Daniels and Kazarian. It’s a done deal. Vitamin C vs. Bad Influence in a Losers Leave Town Ultimate X match at WAR ON THE EAST COAST (on December 28 in Boston, MA, USA)! The first team to retrieve their contracts from about the ring will be the winner and the other team will be forced to leave AGPW!
*Commercial Break 6*
VS.
Ivelisse Vélez vs. Jazz
This is a contest between Jazz, a powerful brawler with a vicious submission hold finisher, and Ivelisse Vélez, a Latina who hails from Puerto Rico and who was trained in the lucha libre style. Jazz hits Ivelisse hard with suplexes and bodyslams. Jazz is also deceptively fast and she uses her speed to hammer Ivelisse with some punishing clotheslines. However, Ivelisse turns the match around in her favour when Jazz goes for the Bitch Clamp. She isn’t able to lock in and Ivelisse counters with a sort of victory roll pinfall attempt that nearly wins the match. After that, she rallies with a variety of dropkicks, spin kicks, hurricanranas and headscissor takedowns. Ivelisse uses the ropes to springboard a lot. She keeps the moves coming one after another, giving Jazz no chance to get a break. Following a Flaming Arrow slingshot DDT that nearly wins the match, Ivelisse decides to go to the top rope and appears to go for a diving hurricanrana, but Jazz counters with a powerbomb! She holds it and shows off her impressive strength by giving her another one! After that, Jazz is able to apply the Bitch Clamp and wins the match by submission.
Official Decision: Jazz wins by pinfall at 7:19
After the match, Paige rushes to the ring and attacks Jazz. She gives her multiple headbutts, a Ram-Paige DDT and then stomps the crap out of her before putting her in the Scorpion Crosslock. Although it isn’t a match, Jazz is tapping out, but she doesn’t get her freedom back until several officials are able to pry Paige off of her.
*Commercial Break 7*
VS.
Bret “The Hitman” Hart vs. “Nature Boy” Ric Flair
The winner of this match will go on to challenge “Superstar” Billy Graham for the International Heavyweight Championship at WAR ON THE EAST COAST in Boston, MA, USA! Ric Flair isn’t really going after the International Heavyweight Championship so much as he wants to thwart Bret Hart’s opportunity to challenge for the title. Flair was brought into AGPW by René Duprée and remains friendly with him and Californiacation. However, he has developed a feud with Bret Hart since he was brought into AGPW by Emile Duprée to prevent Flair from embarrassing AGPW by winning the Mash-Up World Championship on behalf of René and Californiacation. Hart, who considers himself the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be, is arguably the best foot soldier fighting in honour of AGPW and Canadian professional wrestling. However, here he competes south of the border, and is universally panned by the New England faithful, who are mad about the “Nature Boy”. This is a classic battle between two of the greatest competitors of their generation and of all-time. It’s a long affair that causes our broadcast to run long. There is a big fight feel to this match, which is a main event worthy of a Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Starrcade or Great American Bash. There is a long, slow build in the opening minutes with both men showing off their mat wrestling skills. Chain wrestling rules the day, and through it all, chants of ‘USA! USA! USA!’ ‘Let’s go Flair!’ ‘Someone screw Bret!’ and the initials of a rival local wrestling company’s name fill the arena. Eventually, the pace picks up after Flair thumbs Hart in the eye, much to the delight of the fans, only to have Hart respond by spitting in Flair’s face and giving him a hard slap across the face! Suddenly, the match turns into a brawl and it quickly spills to the outside. Flair wants to introduce weapons into the match, but the referee won’t let him. However, when the referee turns his back to the action, Flair kicks Hart in the crotch and rams his head into the ring post. More brawling ensues until Flair puts Hart on top of the English play-by-play table and gives Hart a vertical suplex through the French play-by-play table! Back in the ring, Flair works over Hart’s knees for a little while, but he eventually fights back and starts to target Flair’s back. Hart plays to the crowd’s negativity and acts increasingly like a heel throughout the bout (as he did with the earlier spit). He gets plenty of heel heat by trading barbs with the ringside fans, shouting at them about how crappy their country is and singing lines from “Oh, Canada.” Hart also plays the heel by putting Flair in a figure four leg lock around the ring post! As the match progresses, both men put the other in their finishing submission holds, but fail to secure a victory as Hart an Flair are both able to make rope breaks, but only after being in each other’s finishers for about a minute each, respectively. A late match exchange of several 2-count pinfalls – cradles, backslides, bridges, small packages, victory rolls – keeps the crowd in a frenzy. Hart executes a superplex and pins for a really long 2-count! After that, Flair turns a school-boy roll-up over and grabs a handful of tights, but Hart still manages to kick out! An Irish whip by Flair gets reversed 180 degrees and the referee gets knocked down. Flair takes advantage with a low blow and then he leaves the ring to grab the ring bell. Flair clocks Hart with the bell and the arena erupts in cheers. However, the referee is out and Flair can’t win the match. He has to revive the referee. Finally, he gets him in position. 1…2… shoulder up! Flair can’t believe it! He spends way too much time arguing the count with the referee, allowing Hart to grab him from behind and execute a Russian legsweep! Hart goes up to the second rope and drives an elbow down into Flair’s sternum. He goes to apply the Sharpshooter, but Flair manages to yank Hart by the hair and pull him into a small package. 1…2… Hart flips it over. 1…2…3! The fans boo at Hart, disapprovingly. Hart is joined in the ring by his brother Owen as well as Lance Storm and Tyson Kidd to celebrate his victory. Hart responds to audience by waving the Canadian flag high and proud while some fans toss trash at the ring. Bret “The Hitman” Hart proved that Emile Duprée didn’t misplace his faith in him. He wins and will go on to challenge “Superstar” Billy Graham for the International Heavyweight Championship and to try to banish René Duprée from AGPW forever!
Official Decision: Bret “The Hitman” Hart wins by submission at 26:10
