JOURNEY TO GREATNESS 2015 PRE-SHOW Sunday, June 21, 2015 From Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario Live Attendance: 60 000 Tonight’s Journey to Greatness Pre-Show Panel Features Jeremy Borash, Vampiro and Gail Kim With Interviews Conducted By SoCal Val *** 6-Man Tag Team Match Ultimo Dragon, Tyson Kidd & Rhino vs. “Killer” Karl Krupp, Kurrgan & Killer Kowalski This is the opening match of today’s very lengthy event. Rogers Centre is still maybe only half full as fans as still arriving on site to attend the biggest show of AGPW’s calendar year. Ultimo Dragon and Tyson Kidd have had a minor feud with some of the biggest men in the company – “Killer” Karl Krupp and Kurrgan. Rhino and Killer Kowalski recently brawled their way to a double countout and they were thrown into this match as way to get everyone onto the card. Ultimo Dragon, Tyson Kidd and Rhino get out to a hot start, angering the large, slow, “Acadian Giant” Kurrgan with quick offense. After Dragon and Kidd give Kurrgan a double standing dropkick, the action spills out to the outside, where Dragon pops the crowd with an Asai moonsault on Kurrgan. Krupp attacks, but then Kidd takes him, Kurrgan and Dragon down with a slingshot corkscrew plancha! Kowalski joins the fray, but as soon as everyone is on their feet, Rhino takes them all down with a running cannonball dive from the ring apron. At the conclusion of the ringside brawl, Kurrgan ends up back in the ring and Kidd climbs the turnbuckle to try to take him down with a diving cross body block. Kurrgan catches him and gives him a series of rib breakers and then tosses him across the ring with a military press slam. Now, the giants take control of the match. They make frequent tags and wear Kidd down, but they can’t get him to lose the match. Later on, Kidd is able to make a hot tag to Rhino, who goes on a tear, hammering away at and knocking down everyone in sight. When the giants try to gang up on Rhino, Dragon and Kidd come to his aid by flying into the ring with springboard hurricanranas for Krupp and Kowalski. However, Kurrgan grabs both of them around the neck to set up for a double chokeslam, but before he can get them off of the ground, Rhino plows through him with the GORE! GORE! GORE! Krupp stops the pinfall from reaching a 3-count, but he can’t stop his opponents from winning the match. Ultimo Dragon makes a blind tag and takes Krupp out with a springboard tornado DDT. Then, he executes the Asai DDT on Kowalski and tags in Kidd who takes Kurrgan back off of his feet with a blockbuster and then pins him for the win. Official Decision: Ultimo Dragon, Tyson Kidd & Rhino win at 8:22 *** VS. Owen Hart vs. Test This is the second of two pre-show matches scheduled for this evening. A last minute add-on to the card, Owen Hart and Test enter this match as opposing supporting players in the feud between Bret “The Hitman” Hart and Christian Cage. Obvious, Bret and Owen are brothers, and Test is Christian Cage’s problem solver. There is a good chance that both men will resurface later in the evening to accompany The Hitman and The Instant Classic to the ring during tonight’s semi-main event, where they will battle over the International Heavyweight Championship. Here, both men come to the ring with no one joining them at ringside. This situation bodes well for Hart, as it forces Test to fend for himself. Test does alright for himself for a while, but after getting pummeled early on, Hart gains control of the match by reversing an Irish whip into the corner and then giving Test an overhead belly-to-belly suplex after hitting the turnbuckle hard. Hart follows that up with a few more suplexes, but his moonsault attempt misses, and Test regains the advantage. Test hits Hart with a diving elbow drop, but unlike either of the men in tonight’s main event – CM Punk and “Macho Man” Randy Savage – his is not good enough to secure a pinfall victory. When Test goes for a pumphandle slam, Hart slides down behind him and then gives him a leg-feed enzuigiri kick! Both men are down until the count of nine, at which point they reach their feet and trade blows. Test gets the better of the exchange and whips Hart into the ropes. He clings to the ropes, but Test clotheslines him over. Hart holds on and lifts himself back into the ring. With Test looking the other way, he sneaks up from behind and gives him a victory roll. 1…2… kick out! Test goes for the running big boot, but Hart ducks it and then takes him down with a spinning heel kick. Next, he runs to the ropes and takes Test down again with a Tito Santana-like forearm smash before finally putting Test in the sharpshooter to win the match. Official Decision: Owen Hart wins by submission at 7:36 ***

JOURNEY TO GREATNESS 2015 Sunday, June 21, 2015 From Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario Live Attendance: 60 000
Part 1 of 3
“Gimme Sympathy” by Metric (of Toronto, Ontario) Tonight’s Broadcast Features the Ringside Commentary Teams of Ed Whalen and Lord Alfred Hayes (English) Marc Blondin and René Goulet (Français) Tonight’s Journey to Greatness Pre-Show Panel Features Jeremy Borash, Vampiro and Gail Kim With Backstage Interviews Conducted By SoCal Val *** Welcome inside of Rogers Centre, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada! *** VS. Dean Malenko vs. Bo Dallas Dean Malenko has been antagonized by Bo Dallas for a number of weeks. Dallas claims to be trying to inspire Malenko to rediscover his winning form, but berated Malenko for being a loser after his most recent match. Malenko was the first International Heavyweight Champion in AGPW history. After having a fairly successful first year in AGPW, his second year was less than stellar and he slowly moved down the card. Always competitive, but not picking up the wins to show for it, Malenko has recently put up valiant efforts against the likes of Bret “The Hitman” Hart and Rusev, only to come up on the losing end. After being attacked and berated by Dallas following his most recent match, Malenko challenged the inspirational one to prove he is a loser by beating him in a match. Malenko starts out strong. He has the experience advantage and his expertise in a wrestling ring is unmatched by nearly everyone who has ever entered the ring. He lets Dallas come to him and simply counters each of his attacks into a hold. Dallas repeatedly fails to get anything going despite many attempts, which culminates in him getting placed in an Indian deathlock that, which forces him to scramble to the ropes to escape from the hold. Dallas decides that he has had enough and leaves the ring. He calls for a timeout, but there are none, as we all know. He enters the ring to break the count and immediately slides back out to stall some more. Before the count of ten he rushes in and tries to overwhelm Malenko with a charging clothesline, but misses and then gets a leg lariat followed by a dropkick that knocks him through the ropes and onto the floor. Dallas tries to crawl away, but Malenko comes out to stay on the attack. Dallas tries to crawl under the ring to get away, but Malenko gets down to drag him out from under there. Then, Malenko falls over line a ton of breaks. Video replays appear to show him getting hit in the temple by a small hammer. Dallas rolls Malenko back into the ring and covers him. 1…2… shoulder up! Dallas can’t believe it. He hooks the leg. 1…2… kick out! Now, Dallas brings the aggression. He executes a series of suplexes and nails Malenko repeatedly with short-arm rear elbows to the face, and then a stiff short-arm clothesline that turns Malenko inside out. However, Dallas can’t put him away with his pinfall attempts. When he whips Malenko into the corner and charges in, he gets a boot to the face, but quickly rebounds with several kicks to the abdomen. Dallas lifts Malenko onto the top rope and climbs up to go for a superplex, but Malenko blocks, fires several punches at him, and then flips over Dallas and takes him out of the corner with a sunset flip powerbomb! He can’t capitalize, but it buys him time to recover. When both men get up, they trade punches. Then, Dallas kicks Malenko and tries to pull him in for a double-underhook DDT, but Malenko breaks loose and gives Dallas some rolling German suplexes! Malenko parlays that into some more offense. His comeback starts to bring the crowd alive. Malenko nearly wins the match on a bridging northern lights suplex, but Dallas kicks out at the last moment. Malenko goes for the Texas cloverleaf, but Dallas thumbs him in the eye to block. He gets up and immediately goes for and nails the Bo-Dog! It’s all over. 1…2… shoulder up! Dallas can’t believe. He flips out at the referee, but then looks to be calming himself down. As the referee checks on Malenko, Dallas goes to the corner and takes the top turnbuckle pad off. He grabs Malenko, drags him into position and goes for a catapult, but Malenko grabs the top rope and lands his feet on the middle rope. When Dallas gets up, he charges at him, but Malenko goes up and over him. Dallas hits the exposed turnbuckle! Dazed and confused, he stumbles right into a gutwrench powerbomb! Then, Malenko applies the Texas cloverleaf and forces Dallas to tap out in a matter of seconds. The losing streak is over! The Iceman puts his name back in the win column! Official Decision: Dean Malenko wins by submission at 10:35 *** VS. Havana Street Fight Cuban Assassin vs. Leo Burke Here, we have a classic matchup between two of the biggest mainstays in the original AGPW. In fact, Cuban Assassin and Leo Burke twice held the North American Tag Team Championship Titles together as a team in real life, in addition to having faced each other countless times over the years. In this fantasy version of AGPW, they have not yet crossed paths. What sparked their feud? Leo Burke entered the Rocky Mountain Warfare match (to determine who would headline tonight’s event with a shot at winning the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk) and started decking guys with his favourite weapon: a right fist adorned with brass knuckles. Cuban Assassin was eliminated from the match because he fell victim to Burke and his knucks, which prompted the Cuban Assassin to attack Burke, turning him into a face in the process. Hostilities between the two have increased ever since. Cuban Assassin wanted to settle things once and for all, so he requested and was granted a match against Burke. But not just any match: a Havana Street Fight! Just before this match is about to begin, Leo Burke stops at the end of the entrance aisle and pulls some brass knuckles out from his trunks and slips them onto his knuckles. Forming a fist and raising it into the air, he starts shouting at the nearby fans who are heckling him. This gives Cuban Assassin the opportunity to leave the ring and catch him by surprise with a chair shot to his left arm and shoulder. After knocking Burke down with a chair, Cuban Assassin rips Burke’s treasured brass knuckles off of his hand and tosses them some 20 or so rows deep into the crowd. Burke’s favourite weapon is gone. Now, Cuban Assassin throws Burke into the ring and the bell rings to mark the beginning of the match. Burke is still somewhat reeling from the chair shot, allowing Cuban Assassin to hammer away at him with some brawling offense, as well as to choke him out on the ropes and give him a hard kick to crotch. Cuban Assassin tosses Burke out to the floor, where there are no countouts and anything goes. He comes out and tries to whip Burke into the guardrail, but he reverses it and then runs over and clotheslines him over it. There is a brief brawl through the ringside seats, on the Rogers Centre floor. They bring the fight back to ringside, where Cuban Assassin launches Burke over the guardrail, between Ed Whalen and Lord Alfred Hayes and clear over their play-by-play table. Cuban Assassin gets up on the guardrail and then tries to jump over the table with an attack move, but Burke catches him, spins around and drives his back into the side of the ring apron. Now, Burke takes a chair from the timekeeper and hammers away at Cuban Assassin with it. He slides the table into the ring and then goes back to punching, kicking and stomping on the Cuban Assassin while he’s down. Burke also drives Cuban Assassin’s head into the turnbuckle post, opening a small cut on his forehead. Burke finally rolls him back into the ring and he brings a draw-string bag and another table out from under the ring and puts them in the ring. Back inside the ring, Burke gives Cuban Assassin a snap suplex and then opens up a table and places Cuban Assassin on it. Burke decides to go out and climb the turnbuckle. It seems he has decided to do something we’ve never seen him do before, like maybe go for a frog splash. However, Cuban Assassin gets down from the table and lunges into the ropes, causing Burke to get crotched on the top turnbuckle. Cuban Assassin climbs the top turnbuckle and sends Burke crashing through the table with a superplex! Cuban Assassin recovers and makes the pin. 1…2… kick out! Cuban Assassin sees the bag that Burke placed in the ring. He takes a look inside, then empties it out in the middle of the ring. It’s nothing but thumbtacks! He picks up Burke and lifts him onto his shoulders. Burke hits him with some elbows to the side of the head, gets down to his feet and gives Cuban Assassin a DDT into the thumbtacks! He pins. 1…2... kick out! Burke can’t believe it. He grabs the other table and props it up in the corner. Burke picks up Cuban Assassin, backs him into a corner with some right hands and then chokes him out with his boot for a few seconds. Burke goes for a cross-corner whip towards the table. Cuban Assassin reverses it, but Burke stops by putting a foot up on the table. However, when he spins around, he gets put through the table with a spear! Cuban Assassin pulls Burke out from the wreckage in the corner and pins him. 1…2…3! Official Decision: Cuban Assassin wins by pinfall at 12:14 *** North American Tag Team Championship Fatal Fourway Elimination Match IMF: Ted DiBiase & Alberto El Patron vs. Tazaro vs. British Bulldogs vs. Fabulous Rougeau Brothers Four tag team will square off for the North American Tag Team Championship Titles. Three teams will be eliminated from the match, leaving the final team standing to claim the titles. The incumbents, “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase and Alberto El Patron, took the titles from former champions Taz and Cesaro. The decisions in both their title win and rematch were suspect, fueling fire to the rumours that the IMF may have bought influence within the referee ranks of AGPW. However, no proof has been found. Still, Commissioner Billy Two Rivers decided to get tough by employing local wrestling legend “Whipper” Billy Watson to act as the special guest referee to officiate this match, here in his hometown. The British Bulldogs and Fabulous Rougeaus are also competing in this match as they’ve traded wins and losses between each other and Tazaro, making no clear number one contender for the match. As a consequence, each team was granted a shot at the titles, much to the dismay of the International Ministry of Finance, which is sure to appeal the decision to force them into action against three teams instead of one in the event that DiBiase and El Patron do not successfully retain the titles, tonight. “Whipper” Billy Watson has been tapped by Commission Billy Two Rivers to ensure a fair result in this match. The pace of this match is very quick from the moment the opening bell rings. All of the challengers make frequent tags, some of which are blind, to try to get into the match. Meanwhile, the champions, make no effort to enter the match, conserving their energy for later and trying to secure their spot in the final two. The match eventually settles into Cesaro and Taz making frequent tags as they work over the Dynamite Kid. They eventually give way to the Rougeaus, who continue the assault on the Kid. However, he gets a break when he manages to counter a Rougeau double suplex into a double jumping DDT! When Dynamite Kid gets to his feet, he’s near the champions’ corner and he tries to make a tag, but DiBiase and El Patron jump down from the ring apron to avoid getting tagged in. The “Whipper” gets angry and starts jawing with them. Meanwhile, Dynamite Kid puts the boots to both Rougeaus and gives them both German suplexes before tagging in his cousin. Smith comes in and hits both Rougeaus with running forearm smashes. Then, he lifts Raymond high into the air and throws him over the top rope with a military press toss, down onto DiBiase, El Patron and Virgil! Then, he’s taking out with a beautiful dropkick from Jacques, who tags in Cesaro and they work together to give Smith a Cesaro Swing that ends with a dropkick from Jacques! Cesaro covers, but Dynamite Kid breaks it up with a diving headbutt to Cesaro’s ribs. Taz rushes in and the fight is on. In the middle of the brawl, Jacques makes a blind tag on Cesaro to become the legal man. Then, one by one, Taz, Dynamite Kid and Cesaro get dumped out of the ring. Smith thinks he’s alone, but as soon as he turns around, Jacques grabs him by the neck and executes a two-handed sit-out chokeslam. 1…2… kick out. Jacques lifts him onto the top turnbuckle and tries to go for a superplex, but Smith knocks him down to the mat and then gives him a diving shoulderblock. Smith picks up Jacques and executes the running powerslam. He covers, but the pinfall is interrupted by DiBiase and El Patron, who vicious attack him until El Patron executes a backstabber on him. Dynamite Kid comes in, but they fend him off. Meanwhile, Jacques tags in Raymond and they give Smith la Bombe de Rougeau! 1…2…3! The British Bulldogs have been eliminated. Now, the Whipper orders one of the champions to enter the match, but they refuse. While they argue, from behind the Whipper’s back, we see the Rougeaus knock Cesaro off of the ring apron and pull Taz into the ring to double team him. They take the clear advantage on him when Raymond gives him an eye rake and Jacques kicks him in the crotch. The champions tell Whipper to turn his attention back to the action and he does. The Rougeaus make frequent tags to get plenty of double team moves in on Taz. They keep this up until Raymond slows things down with a bearhuge that Taz eventually escapes from. He then gets into Human Suplex Machine mode, giving each of the Rougeaus suplex after suplex after suplex. He delivers Germans, head-and-arms, northern lights, T-bones, dragons and tigers! Taz makes the tag to Cesaro, who comes in and continues the quick pace with a variety of European uppercut attacks, with several running ones, but also a springboard and a Very European uppercut (pop-up Euroean uppercut). Cesaro executes the Neutralizer on Raymond and makes the pin. 1…2…3! The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers have been eliminated. Finally, the tag team champions are forced to enter the match. El Patron rushes into the ring and begins to take it to Cesaro. He gives him a few kicks and then a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and covers. Cesaro kicks out. El Patron picks him up and executes a belly-to-back suplex and then goes for a moonsault, but Cesaro rolls out of the way. Cesaro makes the tag and now Taz comes in and runs over El Patron with a few clotheslines. He whips El Patron into the corner and charges in, but gets a boot to the face and a double knee armbreaker. El Patron has his sights set on finishing him with the cross armbreaker, but Taz counters it into a Tazmission! DiBiase jumps into the ring to try to break it up, but Watson cuts him off. Virgil runs around the ring and climbs onto the ring apron. Cesaro enters the ring and runs over to knock him off, but he receives a hangman on the top rope and then gets pulled out of the ring and dropped with a hard short-arm clothesline. Taz breaks the submission hold and chases Virgil around the ring. When he gives up the chase and starts climbing back into the ring, DiBiase grabs him and gives him Randy Orton’s signature rope-hung DDT! DiBiase goes back to the ring apron, again getting an earful from the Whipper, who then starts counting both men down. When they get up, they exchange blows until El Patron does a somersault roll to avoid a wild haymaker and makes the tag. DiBiase comes in but gets an overhead belly-to-belly suplex and then a fisherman’s suplex. 1…2.. kick out! Taz gives him a bridging German suplex for another 2-count and then a bridging dragon suplex for two. Next, he executes a bridging northern lights for another long 2-count. DiBiase manages to block a suplex attempt and execute an inverted atomic drop and then a clothesline. He goes up to the second rope, but Taz jumps up and sends him flying with an overhead belly-to-belly off of the turnbuckle! He pins, but DiBiase manages to get a shoulder up. Then, Taz executes a bridging tiger suplex! 1…2… Virgil pulls the Whipper out to the floor! The Whipper has had enough. He tosses Virgil from ringside. After throwing a fit, Virgil decides to throw a punch at him – after all, there’s no harm in taking a DQ – but the Whipper blocks it and hammers Virgil with a few shots before giving him a bodyslam. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Taz gets blindsided by a backstabber and step-up enzuigiri combo from El Patron! Whipper returns to the ring and Taz and DiBiase both head for their corners to make the tag. DiBiase makes the tag. Taz has no one to tag. Cesaro is still down and out from when Virgil took him out. He’s been out for a long time. Taz tries to fend off El Patron, but he receives a superkick and then five double knee armbreakers in a row before getting put in the cross armbreaker. Taz is forced to submit, while his partner is still down and out. DiBiase and El Patron retain the North American Tag Team Titles, even with a referee whom they could not bribe officiating the match. Official Decision: International Ministry of Finance wins by submission at 16:46 ***

JOURNEY TO GREATNESS 2015 Sunday, June 21, 2015 From Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario Live Attendance: 60 000
Part 2 of 3
“Gold Guns Girls” by Metric (of Toronto, Ontario) Tonight’s Broadcast Features the Ringside Commentary Teams of Ed Whalen and Lord Alfred Hayes (English) Marc Blondin and René Goulet (Français) Tonight’s Journey to Greatness Pre-Show Panel Features Jeremy Borash, Vampiro and Gail Kim With Backstage Interviews Conducted By SoCal Val *** VS. Samoa Joe vs. Rusev w/ Prince Nana This fantasy wrestling dream match pits two of the most unstoppable big men in the game today against each other for an epic encounter. Both Samoa Joe and Rusev and intimidating and dangerous wrestlers. They are both powerful and more athletic than anyone in weight class has any right to be. Plus, they both know how to make someone submit. Samoa Joe uses his Coquina Clutch chokehold to force his opponents to tap, while Rusev uses the spine-bending Accolade to make his opponents beg for mercy. The backstory for this match is simple. During AGPW’s special Rocky Mountain Warfare edition of the Titans of Grand Prix, in the match to determine who would challenge the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Champion in tonight’s main event, Rusev scored a shocking pinfall elimination on Samoa Joe by giving him a splash off of the top rope (following a knockout blow from Leo Burke and his infamous brass knuckles). For several weeks after that, Rusev and Prince Nana boasted about Rusev conquered Samoa Joe, until finally Joe chose to confront Rusev and offer him a chance to fight him. The offer was declined, but then Rusev immediately attacked Joe when his back was turned and made him pass out in the Accolade. Two weeks later, Rusev and Prince Nana once again took the time to belittle Joe, but this time Joe made Rusev pass out in the Coquina Clutch after telling him that he was going to kill him. Which of these two unbeatable forces of nature will suffer defeat at the hands of their rival? Let’s find out! Samoa Joe and Rusev have an intense stare down. A lot of words are exchanged between the two. Prince Nana urges Rusev to stop barking and start biting, so he fires a right hand, but Joe blocks it and hits him with several of his own. Joe goes for the Irish whip, but Rusev reverses it and he stands put with a standing body block, but he doesn’t knock Joe down. Rusev shouts at him to try it again. Joe runs to the ropes and receives another, but again, he doesn’t go down. Joe laughs him off. Rusev runs to the ropes and tries to knock him down with a running shoulder block, but this time Joe hammers with with a body block. Rusev doesn’t go down. He goes again, but this time, Joe steps forward and drops him with a lariat. As Rusev gets up, Joe throws chops at him and gets him trapped in the corner where he starts throwing jabs and chops, one after the other. Then, Joe goes for a whip, but Rusev counters it. Rusev charges at him and gets a back elbow to the face, which stuns him. Then, Joe gives him an inverted atomic drop, followed by a running single leg dropkick and then a running senton bomb. Joe goes for the pinfall, but Rusev kicks out very quickly after the two count. Joe tries to apply a rest hold, but Rusev quickly scrambles to the ropes and then exits the ring to get a breather. However, it doesn’t work because Samoa Joe keeps up the attack with a suicide dive! Joe rolls him back into the ring and goes for the pin, but Rusev kicks out. Now, Joe applies a rear chinlock. Rusev eventually gets to his feet and breaks it with some elbows to the mid-section. He runs to the ropes. Joe tries to give him a flapjack, but Rusev lands on his hands, then pops up and drops Joe with a hard lariat. Rusev grabs Joe and gives him a vertical suplex. As Joe gets to his feet, Rusev charges at him and drives him into the corner with a running hip attack. He gives Joe several shoulder blocks that take the air out of him. Then, Rusev shows off his impressive strength by lifting Joe onto the top turnbuckle. He appears to be going for a superplex, but Joe pushes him down and then goes for a diving senton, but he lands on Rusev’s knees! Then, Rusev stomps on Joe’s back and tries to apply the Accolade, but it is way too early, as Joe fight him off and scrambles to the ropes for safety. When Joe gets up, Rusev serves him some muay thai kicks and then gives him an Irish whip. He sets up for a back body drop, but Joe kicks him instead. Rusev responds to that by knocking him onto the mat with a jumping side kick! Rusev pins Joe and gets a close 2-count. Joe has been stunned and Rusev looks to take advantage by picking him up and again showing off his incredible power by tossing Joe over his head with a fallaway slam! Rusev covers. 1…2.. foot on the bottom rope. He drags Joe away and pins again, but Joe kicks out. Now, Rusev picks him up and decides to squeeze the air out of him with a bearhug. Joe eventually breaks it. He runs to the ropes, but runs right into a sleeperhold. However, Joe quickly slides to the side and breaks it with a side belly-to-back suplex. Both men stay down to the count of eight. When they get up, they trade punches, chops and then headbutts. Rusev gets the better of the exchange and goes for a whip, but Joe reverses it and then executes a snap powerslam! 1…2… kick out! Joe gives Rusev the opportunity to start getting up, but then he starts giving Rusev a series of shoot kicks that keep making Rusev fall to his knees. Joe gets him stuck in the corner and beats him down with a series of forearm smashes before taking a step away and giving him the CCS Enzuigiri kick! Joe drags him out of the corner and hooks his leg. 1…2… kick out! Next, Joe starts to bring Rusev to his feet when he shoves Joe away and then knocks him down with a spinning heel kick. Then, Rusev executes the swinging side slam! He tries to apply the Accolade, but struggles to lock it in, so he stomps on Joe’s back and tries to lock it in again, but he can’t get Joe’s second arm hooked in and when he breaks it and tries to give Joe and elbow drop, Joe rolls away. They both get up and Joe gives Rusev a pair of bionic elbows to stun him and then slaps on the Coquina Clutch! Rusev tries to fight him off and refuses to quit. They eventually fall to the mat, where Joe tries to lock a body scissors on him, but Rusev does well to defend against it. So, Joe rolls Rusev onto his stomach and sits on top of him while maintaining his chokehold. Rusev is fading by makes an attempt to get to the ropes. He nearly reaches them when Joe pulls back just enough to keep Rusev out of reach of the ropes. Rusev fades and passes out. He doesn’t give up, but by virtue of passing out in the hold, the referee calls the match and awards it to Samoa Joe. Official Decision: Samoa Joe wins by submission at 13:11 *** VS. Steel Cage Match AJ Lee vs. Trish Stratus There is a long storied history between AJ Lee and Trish Stratus in AGPW. It goes back all of the way to September of last year, when Trish was in the middle of her record setting 50-week reign as AGPW Women’s Champion and AJ first made her championship aspirations known. Trish avoided her, offering only to defend her title if she could beat Awesome Kong, who was Trish’s hired muscle at the time. AJ eventually earned her title shot by winning a #1 contender’s match and first faced Trish at Mayhem in Montréal in October. Trish retained her title. What followed was two months of AJ trying to befriend Trish and dedicating her life to the then Women’s Champion, in typical crazy AJ style. Trish refused her friendship and the two would eventually square off again at December’s War on the East Coast as two of the participants in a fatal fourway bout. Then, after Trish’s working relationship with Awesome Kong fell apart, Trish suddenly become best friends with AJ to get her help retaining the title against Awesome Kong, but it didn’t work. They remained BFFs just long enough for AJ to lose her title shot against Awesome Kong, at which point Trish decided to dump Lee. However, her attempt to humiliate her backfired and Lee got the last laugh by dumping a huge bucket of mud all over her. Again, things calmed down for a few weeks, but their heated rivalry resumed at Rocky Mountain Warfare when Trish tried to interfere on behalf of her new boyfriend, Christian Cage, only to be thwarted by AJ. Cage subsequently lost the match and the opportunity to face CM Punk in tonight’s main event. From that moment on, the two bitter rivals were headed on a collision course to the biggest show of the year for one more match – a final encounter to blow off this long and bitter feud. As could be expected, as soon as the bell rings, AJ and Trish get into an all-out fist fight. As the fists fly, things end with AJ landing a back kick on Trish and then she goes for a whip, but Trish reverses it and AJ knocks her down with a running cross body block. They get up and AJ gives her a few kicks, finally knocking her down with a leaping spinning back kick. This earns her some boos, which has her and the commentators somewhat confused. AJ picks up Trish and gives her a vertical suplex and then covers, but she only gets a one count. AJ picks up Trish and gives her a pendulum backbreaker and then covers for a short two count. AJ decides to leave Trish laying on the mat and goes to the corner to climb the turnbuckle. It looks like she plans to scale the cage, but Trish gets up and grabs her foot to stop her. Trish tries to pull her down, but AJ kicks her away and then dives out of the corner and plants Trish’s head into the mat with a wicked tornado DDT! The boos continue, but a very noticeable cheer is heard when Trish kicks out of the pinfall. AJ looks around, unsure of how to react. She slaps on a headlock to try to wear Trish down. She eventually gets to her feet and breaks the headlock by backing into the ropes and sending her running. Trish goes for a clothesline, but AJ ducks under it. When AJ comes running off of the opposite ropes, Trish grabs her by the head and helps guide her over the ropes and into the side of the cage! She earns a pop for that. Trish picks up AJ and smashes the back of her head into the cage several times, which earns her more cheers. Trish looks around her a sly smile. She drags AJ back into the center of the ring and goes for a whip, but AJ manages to reverse it and then Trish takes her down with an Air Canada (Thesz) Press! When she finishes wailing away on AJ, she gets up and screams out, “Come on, Toronto!” The crowd pops and a Trish chant breaks out throughout the arena. It smells like Toronto is forcing a face turn and commentators cannot ignore what is happening any longer. Trish asks for the door to be opened. She walks over to make her exit, but AJ stops her as she’s climbing through the ropes. AJ brings her back into the ring and sends Trish into the opposite corner. She charges in and gets a foot to the face. Trish grabs AJ and goes for the Stratusfaction, but AJ throws her to the mat and then nails her with a shining wizard! Fans boo, vociferously. AJ pins. 1…2... kick out! AJ heads to the corner and starts climbing the cage. Trish gets up and grabs her by the leg to bring her back down. They trade punches and drive each other’s heads into the cage. Then, AJ gives Trish a few back elbows to knock her off balance before executing a hurricanrana that takes Trish from a standing position on the top rope to the mat! There is a delay before she makes the pin, allowing Trish to kick out. AJ heads back to the corner, but before she starts to climb, she sees Trish getting up, so she runs over and nails her with a front dropkick to the face! The fans are chanting “Let’s go Trish!” as AJ climbs up the cage. As she starts to climb over the top, Trish grabs her by the hair and pulls her back. They trade punches until Trish gets AJ in a headlock and then just falls back off of the top rope, executing a modified superplex! Fans are cheering and chanting “Holy shit! Holy shit!” Both women are down until the count of nine. They get up and AJ runs at Trish. She goes for the Chick Kick, but AJ counters it into the Black Widow! Trish seems to be falling, but out of desperation, she musters all of her strengths, lifts herself upright and falls backwards on top of AJ to get her to break the hold. After that, Trish starts crawling towards the cage door. AJ crawls after her. Trish gets half way through the door when AJ grabs her and drags her back. She gives Trish several forearms and then crawls over her and goes for the exit. Trish grabs her by the feet and drags her back. AJ grabs the bottom rope and tries to fight her off with her feet, but Trish counters with a catapult against the bottom rope, sending AJ’s head crashing back down against the ring apron. Trish drags AJ back into the ring and gives her a running bulldog. She goes for the cover. 1…2… kick out! Trish gets up and heads to the ropes. She starts her first attempt to climb out of the cage. AJ comes over and gets on the top rope. They take turns smashing each other’s faces into the side of the cage before AJ brings Trish off of the rope and down to the mat with a side Russian legsweep! AJ covers. 1…2… shoulder up! Now, AJ slowly heads to the ropes to tries to climb out. Trish catches up to her and pulls her off of the top rope and the cage into a powerbomb! However, she takes too much time to go for the pin and AJ kicks out. Trish picks up AJ and lifts her onto the top turnbuckle. She goes for the Stratusphere, but AJ manages to counter it by falling down to the mat into a Boston crab. However, with Trish near the ropes, it only takes her about 10 seconds to get to the bottom rope to force a rope break. AJ leaves her there and goes to the opposite corner to start climbing out. She reaches the top of the cage when she sees Trish get to her feet. Trish walks out to the middle of the ring and AJ goes airborne. Diving crossbody from the top of the cage! “Holy Shit!” chants giveaway to “This is awesome!” chants. Everyone is down and the referee checks on them both before he starts his standing 10-count. AJ moves first. She’s not far from the door. She starts crawling towards it. Trish starts to move. AJ gets her hands on the ring steps. She’s nearly out, when Trish drags her back in. AJ grabs onto the turnbuckle post and holds for dear life. Then, Trish legs go of her and just stomps away at her back until she lets go. Trish drags AJ into the ring and AJ pulls her into a small package. 1…2… kick out! When they get up, Trish gives her the Trish Kick! 1…2… kick out! Trish can’t believe it! She questions the referee’s count, which gives AJ time to recover. She charges at Trish and gives her some tilt-a-whirl headscissors that send Trish’s head through the ropes and into the side of the cage. AJ pulls Trish back into the ring and appears to be setting up for a shiranui, but as she lifts into the air, Trish counters by backing into the ropes and having AJ comes down into the side of the cage! Then, Trish brings AJ into the ring and gives her Stratusfaction! 1…2…3! Trish Stratus wins it and her hometown fans explode in cheers! Official Decision: Trish Stratus wins by pinfall at 16:49 *** VS. Chris Jericho vs. Edge This bitter rivalry has reignited in the fantasy wrestling universe. Opponents at Wrestlemania XXVI, Jericho and Edge have a storied past as both partners and foes. However, unlike in their Wrestlemania match where Edge played the fan favourite and Jericho was the villain, in AGPW the script has been flipped; Edge is the villain and Jericho is the fan favourite. Hostilities began when Edge showed up at Rocky Mountain Warfare and gave Jericho a spear, allowing his best friend, Chistian Cage, to pin and eliminate Jericho from the match. Then, just two weeks later, in Jericho’s hometown, Edge – with an assist from Christian – put Jericho in the hospital by giving him a wicked con-chair-to, which Edge would follow up with an Impaler DDT onto a steel chair. Fans may remember that in the build up to their Wrestlemania match, Jericho boasted about his incredible track record of remaining healthy and about how brittle and injury-plagued Edge was. Now, Edge has delivered Jericho’s first wrestling related injury. He put him on the shelf until tonight. Jericho was absent from a few weeks’ worth of television before finally returning to signal his intent to pay Edge back for what he did to him, with a vengeance! As soon as the bell rings, Jericho charges forward and starts pounding away at Edge with his fists. Jericho goes for a whip, but Edge reverses it and knocks him down with a spinning heel kick. Jericho gets right back up and Edge grabs him, but gets a kick and then a series of knife-edge chops that make the crowd go “Woo!” Jericho sends Edge into the corner and then hits a running clothesline on him. He pulls Edge out of the corner and executes a vertical suplex and then goes for the Walls of Jericho, but he fails to flip him over, and Edge scrambles to ropes for a rope break. He leaves the ring and Jericho follows in hot pursuit. As they Edge runs around a corner, he gains separation from Jericho thanks to Test, who stands in the way. Jericho decides to return to the ring, Edge is already there and he stomps away at Jericho. He tosses Jericho into the corner and puts the boots to him before choking him with his foot. Edge does it a few times before the referee threatens to disqualify him if he does it one more time. Edge goes back to the corner and Jericho trades places with him, working him over with some chops. Jericho lifts Edge up onto the top turnbuckle and starts climbing, but Edge knocks him down and then gives him a diving crossbody. He holds it for a pin, but it is only a 1-count. Edge runs to the ropes. Jericho goes for a back body drop, but Edge lands on his feet and then executes an implant DDT. 1…2.. kick out! Edge slaps a rear headlock on him. It takes a while, but Jericho makes it back to his feet. He breaks it with some elbows to the abdomen. Then, gives Edge some forearms to the side of the head and runs to the ropes, but Edge gives him a falling flapjack and covers. 1…2.. kick out. Edge picks up Jericho and throws him into the corner, with his shoulder slamming into the turnbuckle post. After that, Edge spends some time working on Jericho’s shoulder. He gives him arm ringers, arm bars, elbow smashes and kicks to the shoulder before finally giving him a shoulderbreaker. After another pin that only earns a 2-count, Edge applies a fujiwara armbar, which really applies pressure to the shoulder. Jericho is screaming out in pain, but he gets his foot onto the bottom rope. After Edge lets go, he distracts the referee long enough for Test to take a cheap shot at Jericho. Then, Edge drags him away from the ropes and pins, but Jericho gets his good shoulder up. Edge picks him up and whips him hard into the corner. Edge runs over and knocks Jericho down with a dropkick. Then, he runs to the far corner and sets up for the spear. Jericho gets up and sees Edge coming, so he takes him down with a step-up enzuigiri kick to stop him in his tracks. Jericho goes for the cover, but Edge kicks out. Jericho has Edge laid out on the mat and he signals for the lionsault. However, Test climbs onto the ring apron. Instead of running to the ropes, however, he runs to the corner and does a springboard dropkick to knock Test off of the ring apron. Then he goes for the lionsault, but Edge rolls away. Jericho lands on his feet. As Edge gets up, Jericho bounces off of the nearby ropes and takes him down with a one-handed jumping bulldog. Now, he goes for the lionsault and nails it! 1…2… kick out! Next, Jericho decides to go for the Walls of Jericho. After he flips Edge over and locks it in, Test hops onto the ring apron and distracts the referee by complaining about being attacked by Jericho. This long distraction eventually gets him tossed from ringside. However, the distraction lasts long enough for the referee to miss seeing Edge tap out. Jericho lets go of the hold, then runs over and knocks Test off of the ring apron again, this time with a flying forearm smash. Hopefully, that will be the last we see of him. When Jericho goes back to grab Edge, he pulls Jericho down into a roll-up and grabs his tights, but Jericho manages to kick out. Jericho tries for a kick, but Edge blocks it and then goes for a spinning heel kick, but Jericho ducks it and the referee gets hit. Edge gets back to his feet and Jericho gives him the Codebreaker! Jericho pins him and he could have this match won, but the referee is knocked out. By the time Jericho gets up to check on the referee, he receives a running big boot from Test! He grabs Jericho and gives him a full nelson slam. Edge tells Test to toss him outside. They go and Test keeps hitting him. Then, Test rolls him onto a table, Edge climbs onto the other play-by-play table and runs over to spear Jericho off of the table and through the ringside barricade! “Holy shit! Holy shit!” Extra referees have finally hit the scene and a few them finally get Test away from ringside. However, the damage must already be done. It takes a while before anyway stirs, but eventually Edge starts moving and drags Jericho back into the ring before the referee, who is finally back on his feet, can count them out. He pins. 1…2… shoulder up! Incredible! Edge decides to set up for the spear. As soon as Jericho gets up, he goes for it, but Jericho manages to counter it with a roll-up. 1…2… kick out! Jericho runs to the ropes and goes for the running forearm smash, but Edge ducks it, then he quickly lifts Jericho onto his shoulders and gives him the electric chair drop! Instead of covering, he flips Jericho over into the Walls of Jericho! It looks like he’s going to make Jericho tap out to his own move, however, by hook or by crook he gets to the ropes to force a break. However, it might have just taken every last once of energy he had, because when he gets up, Edge levels him with a big boot and then sets up and hits him with another spear! He covers. 1…2…3! Edge steals the victory. His win, in front of his home crowd, earns a mixed reaction from the crowd, as there is a sizable number of Jericho fans in Toronto, tonight. Unfortunately for Chris Jericho, Edge is not content with only getting the crooked victory. He grabs some steel chairs from the timekeeper’s area and brings them into the ring, where he proceeds to give Jericho the one man con-chair-to, not once, but twice! Jericho has to be helped away from ringside after that vicious assault. Official Decision: Edge wins by pinfall at 18:03 ***

JOURNEY TO GREATNESS 2015 Sunday, June 21, 2015 From Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario Live Attendance: 60 000
Part 3 of 3
“Breathing Under Water” by Metric (of Toronto, Ontario) Tonight’s Broadcast Features the Ringside Commentary Teams of Ed Whalen and Lord Alfred Hayes (English) Marc Blondin and René Goulet (Français) Tonight’s Journey to Greatness Pre-Show Panel Features Jeremy Borash, Vampiro and Gail Kim With Backstage Interviews Conducted By SoCal Val *** Women’s Championship Title Ladder Match Awesome Kong vs. Jazz vs. Paige vs. Ivelisse Vélez vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Natalya Neidhart Current AGPW Women’s Champion, Awesome Kong, has been an unbeatable division killer. No woman has beaten her in competition since December, and even then the loss was only because she chose not to break up a pinfall that allowed then-champion Trish Stratus to win the match and retain her title. You have to go back 13-months to this very event, last year, to find the last time Kong was defeated, when she lost a Last Woman Standing Match to Chyna. Since becoming Women’s Champion, she has relished the opportunity to defend her title against everyone. In fact, she’s beaten every other woman in this match in the last few months. Bored of the competition and wanting a great challenge, Kong wassigned to defend her title in this ladder match against each of the five women she’s last defended her title against – Jazz, Paige, Ivelisse Vélez, Charlotte Flair and Natalya Neidhart – and was basically told to sink or swim by Commissioner Billy Two Rivers. This match begins with all of the challengers ganging up on Awesome Kong. They get her backed into a corner and beat her down. Amazingly, Kong battles back and knocks everyone away, one at a time, but they come back at her, and this time, they knock her out of the ring. Then, their match opening allegiance breaks down, with Jazz and Ivelisse attacking Paige, Charlotte and Natalya, the latter two getting knocked out of the ring. However, they can’t knock Paige out of the ring. She serves up back kicks to both women and follows each one up with a series of knee lifts to the head. She picks up Jazz and gives her a snap suplex. Paige sits down on top of her and gives her head butts. Ivelisse comes around and takes Paige down and out with a superkick. She picks up Jazz and tosses her out of the ring. Then, she leaves the ring and goes for a ladder. She brings it into the ring and sets it up. However, before she can climb it, Charlotte is there to knock her down with a chopblock to the back of her knee. Charlotte grabs Ivelisse by the leg and gives her multiple kicks to the inside of her knee. Meanwhile, Awesome Kong has returned to the ring and she’s not yet interested in climbing the ladder. Instead, she folds it back up and uses it as a battering ram to knock Charlotte down. When Paige hops onto the ring apron, Kong knocks her back down to the floor with the ladder. She does the same thing to Jazz. However, Natalya dropkicks Kong in the back, causing her to drop the ladder and trip over it. Natalya gives her a jumping elbow drop to the lower back. Then, another and another, before putting her in an Indian deathlock. The hold is broken when Ivelisse comes into the ring and lands on Natalya with a slingshot senton bomb. Ivelisse picks up the ladder and opens it up. She starts climbing it, but Jazz grabs her by the foot, pulls her down and levels her with a stiff short-arm clothesline. Then, Jazz starts to climb the ladder. Paige grabs her by the foot and tries to pull her down, but Jazz kicks her away. Meanwhile, Charlotte has re-entered the ring and started climbing the ladder from the other side. Jazz meets her at the top and they trade blows. Neither of them can get their hands on the belt because Awesome Kong grabs the ladder and pushes it over on the side, causing Charlotte and Jazz to fall off and hit the mat. Awesome Kong turns her attention to the other women in the ring. She backs Natalya into the ropes with a series of right hands and then knocks her out of the ring with a running clothesline. Ivelisse climbs the turnbuckle and tries to give Kong a diving hurricanrana, but she counters it with a powerbomb. Kong sees Paige getting up and they trade punches. Paige gets the better of the exchange and runs to the ropes, but gets taken down with a spinebuster. She rolls out of the ring. Charlotte and Jazz come at her to give her a double clothesline, but it only knocks her back a few steps. And then she steps forward and drops them both with a double running clothesline. Kong throws both women out of the ring and sets up the ladder. She starts climbing it, but Ivelisse attacks her to stop that. That turns out to be a mistake, as Kong chokeslams her and then launches her over the top rope with a jackknife powerbomb that sends Ivelisse crashing into Paige, Charlotte and Jazz. Kong starts climbing the ladder. It looks like she’s going to beat all five of these women on her own, but then Natalya climbs up the other end and greets her at the top by grabbing her braids and slamming her face off of the top of the ladder. Then, she drives her elbow into Kong’s fingers to get her to fall off of the ladder. Natalya is the first woman in the match to touch the belt, but she hasn’t grabbed the clip before Ivelisse springboards off of the rope and onto the ladder. She quickly stops. They trade punches until Paige comes into the ring and pulls Natalya down to the mat and gives her a superkick! At the other side, Charlotte pulls Ivelisse down and gives her a superkick! Now, Charlotte and Paige run up the ladder and they both grab the belt. They fight over it, but neither can wrestle it away from the other. They Paige head butts Charlotte, then grabs the belt with both hands. Charlotte lays into her with a wicked chop – “Woo!” She gives her a few more and then knocks her off of the ladder with a firm right hand. Charlotte grabs the belt, but Jazz pushes the ladder over! Charlotte hangs from the belt for a moment before falling to the mat. Jazz pulls Charlotte under the ladder and gives her a catapult into a leg of the ladder! Jazz can’t follow up on that, as she’s nailed with the Nattie By Nature discus clothesline! Natalya is then taken out by Ivelisse with a missile dropkick that sends her back crashing into the ladder rungs! Then, Ivelisse picks up Natalya and gives her the Desert Eagle (sunset flip powerbomb)! Ivelisse starts climbing the ladder, but Paige pulls her down and executes her Ram-Paige DDT! Paige gets to the top of the ladder and starts reaching for the title when Awesome Kong grabs her by the foot and yanks her down, then gives her a chokeslam and pushes her out of the ring with her feet. Awesome Kong heads to the top of the ladder to get her title. Kong starts trying to open the clip to take the title down, but Charlotte reaches the top of the ladder and stops her with some elbows to the gut. Kong gives her a headbutt, but Charlotte replies with some chops – “Woo!” Kong throws a haymaker and Charlotte ducks it. Then, she rakes Kong’s eyes and then throws a bionic elbow at her forehead to knock her off of the ladder. With no one else around, Charlotte grabs the title and unhooks it. We have a new Women’s Champion! Official Decision: Charlotte Flair wins at 14:48 *** VS. International Heavyweight Championship Match Bret “The Hitman” Hart vs. Christian Cage Bret “The Hitman” Hart won the International Heavyweight Championship in December when he went up against “Superstar” Billy Graham, who as it just so happens won the title from Christian Cage in crooked fashion. Cage had never gotten the rematch he deserved. This led to his partnership and friendship with Chris Jericho splinter as they quarreled over who deserved to face The Hitman next. Cage emerged victorious from a #1 contender’s match, in which he employed the aid of his new girlfriend Trish Stratus to swerve Jericho. Meanwhile, the Hitman has been the consummate Canadian-born champion, facing on all comers in a very workmanlike manner. He has held onto the title through big title defences against the likes of Samoa Joe, Killer Kowalski, Dean Malenko and Graham. Now, he looks to retain his title on the biggest stage of the AGPW calendar year, while Cage attempts to regain something he feels he should never have rightfully lost. Before they even lock up, a larger portion of the fans start a Christian Cage chant. Being in his hometown and noting that they building was overwhelming on the side of Trish Stratus and the crowd was evenly split for Edge and Chris Jericho, this should come as no surprise by now. A “Let’s go, Hitman!” chant starts to take hold. The Cage fans respond with “Hitman sucks!” Cage makes like he’s going to grapple with Hart, but then backs off and thumps his chest while looking out to the crowd, eliciting a cheer out of his hometown. Finally, they lock up and an elbow to collar lock up eventually gives way to some chain wrestling. Hart is the more skilled of the two in this aspect of the sport, but Cage is no slouch and he does enough to escape out of holds and counter. However, the difference is that the Hitman escapes and counters much quicker. This continues for a little while, until finally Cage, trapped in a leg scissors headlock, finds a way to fold Hart over into a pinfall while in the move. 1…2. Hart releases the hold. As soon as he makes it to his feet, Cage slaps the champion across the face, earning equal measures of cheers and boos. After a momentary pause, Hart tries to respond, but Cage runs around the ring and eventually does a baseball slide to the safety of the outside. Hart and Cage trash talk each other. When Cage gets distracted by telling his problem solver, Test, what to do, Hart takes advantage by going for a suicide dive! However, he hits the move on Test, who was pulled into the way at the last second by Cage. Cage grabs Hart and sends him shoulder first into the entrance aisle barricade. He picks him up and gives up a vertical suplex on the floor! Cage enters the ring to breaks the count and comes back to the outside, where he grabs Hart and gives him an Irish whip into the ring steps. Then, Cage gets down and fires several right hands at him before rolling him into the ring and going for the cover. He gets a 2-count. Cage drags Hart over to the ropes and drapes him over the middle rope, choking him out on it. He does even more damage by standing on Hart’s back and pulling up on the top rope. After he finishes the choke, he slingshots out to the floor and gives Hart a firm slap to the face. When Hart gets to his feet, Cage hits him with a springboard dropkick and goes for the cover, but Hart kicks out. Cage slows the pace down by focusing his attack on Hart’s back. While he has him down, he stomps on Hart’s back, and gives him some knee drops to his lower back. Cage puts Hart in a camel clutch, but Hart eventually breaks free. Cage butt bumps him and reapplies the hold, but Hart eventually breaks free and quickly scrambles to the ropes, avoiding another butt bump. Once back on his feet, Hart gets met with some knife-edge chops. Cage goes for a whip, but Hart reverses it and sets up for a back body drop. Cage takes him down with a sunset flip instead. 1…2.. kick out! Cage goes for a clothesline, but Hart ducks it and runs to the ropes. With both men on the run, Hart levels Cage with a Hart Attack clothesline. When they both get back to their feet, Hart blocks Cage’s attack and fires off several right hands, backing Cage into the corner. Hart mounts the second rope and deliver the 10-count round of punches. Coming out of the corner, Hart gives Cage a vertical suplex and goes for the pin, but Cage quickly kicks out at two. Hart drags Cage to ropes, puts his leg across the bottom rope and gives him a few seated sentons to the inside of his knee. Next, he puts Cage in a knee wrench. After he releases the hold, He appears to be going for a figure four leg lock, but Cage kicks him away. Cage charges at him, but Hart scoops him up and into a sidewalk slam. He hooks the leg. 1…2.. kick out! Now, Hart moves into end game mode. He grabs Cage and gives him an inverted atomic drop and then a clothesline. Cage gets up and Hart gives him a Russian legsweep. He pins, but Cage kicks out. Next, Hart grabs Cage and gives him a pendulum backbreaker and pins again for two. After a snap suplex, Hart climbs up to the second rope and executes a pointed elbow drop. He pins again, and again Cage kicks out. Hart attempts to apply the Sharpshooter, but Cage fights him off by kicking him away. Cage goes to grab Hart, but gets an elbow to the mid-section and then an Irish whip into the corner. Hart charges in and Cage moves out of the way. Hart slams into the turnbuckle hard with his chest and falls back onto the mat. Cage decides to climb up to the top rope. He goes for the frog splash, but Hart moves out of the way. When they both get up, Hart gives Cage and running dropkick that knocks him down into the turnbuckles. As he tries to get up, Hart comes in and puts the boots to him. Then, he lifts him onto the top rope and gives him a superplex! He pins. 1…2… kick out! Hart grabs Cage by the feet and then gives him a falling head butt to the abdomen. Then, he puts him in the Sharpshooter! It takes a lot of effort from Cage, but he eventually makes it to the ropes and forces the rope break. When Cage starts lifting himself up by the ropes, Hart runs to the opposite ropes, but he gets tripped up by Test, who reached in and grabbed his foot while the ref wasn’t looking. When Hart gets up, Cage grabs him from behind and executes a falling reverse DDT. He cover him for a 2-count. Cage picks up Hart and gives him an inverted facelock backbreaker and pins him, but again, he only gets a 2-count. Next, Cage whips Hart into the corner and then puts him on the top turnbuckle. He goes up and tries for a frankensteiner, but Hart holds onto the top rope and then gives Cage a diving crossbody into a lateral press for a 2-count. Hart picks up Cage and tries lifting him into a vertical suplex, but Cage slips through behind him, lands on his feet, then quickly grabs him and executes the Unprettier! He pins. 1…2… kick out! After questioning the referee’s count, Cage sets Hart in his crosshairs for a spear. He charges at him, but Hart counters with a small package. 1…2… kick out and a quick clothesline by Cage. He covers, but Hart kicks out. Cage tells Test that he wants Plan B. While Cage applies a headlock, Test places a steel chair on the ring apron, out of view of the referee. Hart breaks the headlock with some elbows to the mid-section, but when he tries to run away, Cage grabs his hair and pulls him down to the mat. The ref warns him about that and Test climbs onto the ring apron to complain. He provides the distraction for Cage to grab the steel chair. He swings it, but Hart ducks it, then kicks Christian and gives him a DDT onto the chair he just dropped! Hart gets rid of the evidence, but his pin isn’t counted until after Owen Hart runs in, pulls Test off of the ring apron and starts brawling with him. 1…2… kick out! Hart decides to put Cage in the Sharpshooter. He gets him turned over. Cage comes close to tapping out, but drags himself over near the ropes, but then Hart pulls him back to the middle of the ring, where he starts tapping out! The Hitman does it! He retains his title at AGPW’s biggest show of the year! Official Decision: Bret “The Hitman” Hart wins by submission at 21:02 *** VS. Mash-Up World Heavyweight Championship Match CM Punk vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage Mash-Up World Heavyweight Champion comes to us fresh off of a title victory over the long-time champion, “Stone Cold” Steven Austin, only a few short months ago at WWF’s Starrcade. Punk’s short title reign has been shaky to begin, having barely survived his first major title defence against Kevin Nash. Punk has something to prove and looks to re-establish his value, worth and claim to the title as the “Best in the World” against one of the true icons of our great sport (shout out to Tony Schiavone). “Macho Man” Randy Savage holds the distinction of having fought in the main event of this very event, last year, when he faced then-champion “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, but he came up short. Now, he looks to take the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Championship in his second opportunity, this time against a wrestler who wears stars on his trunks and performs the Macho Man’s diving elbow drop in homage to Savage himself. Savage is hungry for the gold, but he’ll have to get past CM Punk, who must kill one of his idols to retain the title and remain the “Best in the World.” Our main event begins with the World Champion talking trash at the challenger, telling him that he’s going to bury the Macho Man with his own diving elbow drop. Savage rushes at the challenger, but Punk gets out of the way and throws some more barbs at him. Savage again tries to attack him, but Punk avoids him and then lands a few muay thai kicks. He goes for a spinning back kick, but Savage grabs his foot, pushes him over and jumps on him, wailing away at him with his fists. The referee tries to separate the two of them and after he does, Punk laughs as he rolls out to the floor. However, it is no laughing matter when Savage brushes the referee aside, climbs the turnbuckle and dives to the outside of the ring, hitting Punk with a double axehandle smash! Savage puts a big dent into Punk’s armour by whipping him hard into the guardrail and then lifting him up and press slamming him across the guardrail. Savage breaks the count and returns to the outside to hurt Punk some more by giving him a vertical suplex on the floor. He walks over to the French broadcast team’s announce table and starts clearing it of monitors. However, when he returns to grab Punk, he shoves Savage into the guardrail and then decks him with a hard roundhouse kick. Punk leaves him lying on the ground. As soon as he sees Savage get back up to his feet, he gives him a suicide dive. Punk picks up Savage and rolls him back into the ring. Savage gets up, but gets taken right back down again by a springboard clothesline. Punk goes for the pin, but Savage kicks out at one. Punk picks him up and gives him some chops. He goes for a whip, but Savage reverses it and then takes Punk down with an arm drag, and then another and another. Savage finishes off the homage to his Wrestlemania III opponent by nailing Punk with a running elbow smash to the forehead to knock him down. He pins, but Punk kicks out at one. Savage stays on the attack by giving Punk some high-elevation knee drops to his shoulder and collar bone area. Then, he picks up Punk and gives him a snap suplex followed by jumping knee drop. He pins him, but Punk kicks out. Savage slaps on a modified wrist and elbow lock, but Punk finds his way to his feet and his breaks the hold with some muay thai kicks to the legs. Punk runs to the ropes and Savage tries to give him a back body drop, but Punk lands on his feet. When Savage turns around, Punk leaps up and takes him over with a hurricanrana. Savage gets up near the ropes and Punk gives him a clothesline that takes him out to the floor. Punk appears to be going for another suicide dive, but Savage moves out of the way, and Punk is able to put on the breaks. Savage walks around the corner of the ring and then starts to lift himself onto the ring apron when he’s met with a baseball slide by Punk. Punk grabs Savage and tries to give him an Irish whip, but Savage reverses it and Punk slams hard into the ring steps. Savage picks him up and slams Punk’s face against the steps and then gives him a jumping knee drop to his head while it is resting against the steps. Punk might be out cold. Savage brings Punk back into the ring, climbs to the top turnbuckle and points to the sky. Punk moves and starts to get up before Savage can jump, so he waits until Punk is on his feet and takes him down with a diving crossbody. He hooks the leg. 1…2.. kick out. Savage scoops up Punk and bodyslams him. He goes back to the turnbuckle and climbs it. This time he goes for the diving elbow drop, but Punk rolls out of the way. When they get up, Punk gives him a spinning back kick and then lifts him onto his shoulders. Savage elbows him in the head a few times and gets to his feet. Then, he gives Punk the old snake eyes and a hair-pull hangman. Savage climbs back onto the ring apron and attemps a slingshot clothesline, but Punk counters it into a powerslam! He hooks the leg. 1…2.. kick out! Back to their feet and Punk gives Savage some chops and some more muay thai kicks before giving him a release German suplex. Punk climbs up to the top turnbuckle and points to the sky, but Savage rolls to the far end of the ring. Savage gets up in the corner, so Punk runs across the ring and goes for a jumping high knee, but Savage moves. Then, he grabs Punk as he limps out of the corner and whips him into the opposite corner. Savage runs across the ring and gives him a jumping high knee and then a running bulldog out of the corner! Savage is taking a page out of Punk’s move book. He pins. 1…2… kick out! Savage picks up up and gives him an atomic drop and then runs to the ropes and goes for a running elbow smash, but runs right into an enzuigiri kick! Punk is slow to make the cover, so Savage kicks out. Punk picks him up and attempts a vertical suplex, but Savage blocks. He tries to counter, but Punk blocks it and then gives Savage the Pepsi Twist. 1…2… kick out! Punk starts mouthing off and saying that he’s going to beat Savage at his own game. He gives the Macho Man the old snake eyes and then multiple elbow smashes to the forehead before dropping him with a jumping high knee. Punk picks him up and gives him an atomic drop and then a clothesline. He grabs him again and gives him a hair-pull hangman. Punk starts climbing the ropes. He points to the sky and goes for the diving elbow drop, but Savage gets his knees up to block. Then, they both get up and Savage peppers him with alternating jabs to the head and chest before dropkicking him into the corner. He takes Punk out of the corner with a snap mare and gives him a spinal tap! Savage climbs to the top rope while Punk slowly gets to his feet. Savage goes for the diving axehandle, but Punk dropkicks him out of the air. Punk crawls to make a cover, but Savage rolls out to the safety of the floor. Punk comes out, picks him up and gives him some chops and then a spinning back kick and a knee lift to the face before rolling him onto the table. Is he going to go for it? Punk goes up to the top rope, points sky high and giving Savage his own diving elbow drop through a table! It takes a while, but eventually, Punk gets up and drags Savage into the ring and pins him. 1…2… kick out! The Macho Man is still alive! Punk doesn’t believe it. He picks up Savage and tries to put him on his shoulders, but Savage quickly slides off and slaps the sleeperhold on Punk. He fades and his arm falls twice, before he stays alive and breaks out of the hold. Punk runs to the ropes and Savage goes for a clothesline, but Punk pulls him into a crucifix pin. 1…2… kick out. Punk goes for a roundhouse kick, but Savage ducks it and rolls him up, school-boy style. 1…2… kick out! Punk with a backslide. 1…2… kick out! Savage with the small package. 1…2… Punk reverses. 1…2… Savage reverses. 1…2… kick out and a hard double lariat! The ref reaches the count of nine before they get up. Slowly, punches are exchanged, then knee lifts to abdomen. Then, Savage goes back to the snake eyes and gives Punk a piledriver! Instead of going for the pin, he drags him into position and goes upstairs. He dives and nails the elbow drop! 1…2… shoulder up! Unbelievable! Savage decides to try something new. He signals for the Go to Sleep and lifts Punk onto his shoulders. Punk gives him a number of elbows to the side of the head and makes it down to his feet, then he gives him some muay thai kicks, cultimating with a roundhouse kick to the back of the head. Savage stumbles back into the ropes, bouncing off of them and then up onto Punk’s shoulders. He gets the Go to Sleep! 1…2…3! CM Punk wins the match and retains the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Championship over one of his wrestling idols! Official Decision: CM Punk wins by pinfall at 24:15 *** This has been a presentation of Thank you for reading!

Mere words cannot suffice to express my feelings after reading this show. Allow me to try with a few emoji: In other notes, I'm glad to see Samoa Joe defeat Rusev without literally killing him with a botch. Trish Stratus is the *GODDESS* of Mash-Up Wrestling, championship or no (but I can foresee Charlotte taking that spot in the near-future). Punk vs Savage already has my early vote for potential "Match of the Year". My gosh bro, the epic 3-part treatment here for your statement show here shows why you consistently churn out victories in any fantasy-wrestling tournament you participate in. It has everything you can ask for in a signature event. Massive match-ups, superstar moments and incredible stories. My favorites were the "Havana Street Fight", 4-Way Tag Match & Steel Cage match between 2 women (only the 2nd in Mash-Up history, if memory serves me...) Just really incredible stuff. I saw Jericho vs Edge at Wrestlemania before, but I like your unique twist on the action tonight. Plus Edge not only wins, he decimates Jericho postmatch. Hart vs Christian is another sleeper 5-Star hit. I would have ranked that in my *HITS! HITS! HITS!* section, but I can't in good conscious (as a rival promoter) show any public love for the Canadian "hero" Bret Hart. Same for CM Punk, who is giving me all kinds of independent booking hell! If I can't even get a damn booking from the WORLD champion then I barely even want to acknowledge him! [/kayfabe] But seriously, kudos on their epic Dream match. This is the kind of bout that will go down in Mash-Up Wrestling permanency. You have also added immense prestige to CM Punk's still-burgeoning World title reign. Time will tell if he has the kind of power to match/bypass Stone Cold as greatest champion in history. Ya killing 'em kid, straight killing em. Nobody is seeing AGPW on the national or International level at this point. You are the pinnacle of the Mash-Up mountain. Enjoy your lofty stay at the top, because we're all gunning for the same spot! Journey to Greatness was dope, but I have a feeling the real beef is going to cook at Canadian Carnage... until War Games comes in BCCW, I'll see you on the flip side. Mash on. peace, MSD

Thanks for all of the love. I was starting to think that no one would offer me any feedback (positive or negative) because I may have written too much for anyone to bother reading the entire thing. Thanks for spending an entire rainy Sunday reading the whole damn thing. I won't be writing another show this big again, at least not until Journey to Greatness 2016.
