Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN
Saturday, May 25, 2013
From the Halifax Forum in Halifax, Nova Scotia

It’s time for Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN. It’s time to play that old familiar drum beat!

Ed Whelan: Good evening, Atlantic Canada! Welcome to Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN. I’m Ed Whelan and with me as always is Jeremy Borash. Tonight, we have quite the lineup of matches in store for you. You’ll be seeing “Marvelous” Marc Mero vs. Eric Young, Al Snow vs. Cuban Assassin, plus tonight’s main event, Robbie E vs. Petey Williams!

Jeremy Borash: I expect that one to be an exciting match up. In addition to those matches, you’ll be seeing Chris Candido in action, as well as the Grand Prix in-ring debut of Mad Dog Vachon. And Ed, I’ve also read Test’s name on tonight’s card, but I highly doubt that we’ll be seeing him.

Ed Whelan: You’re right, Jeremy. Fans, expect that one to be a no contest victory for “No Class” Bobby Bass.

Jeremy Borash: Plus, we know that René Duprée is here and early reports have it that Lance Storm has been seen in the vicinity of the Halifax Forum, this afternoon. One has to wonder whether he’ll be seen, tonight.

Ed Whelan: So many things could happen, Jeremy. I’m sure we’re in for a ring-a-ding-dong-dandy of a night! Now, let’s send things down to the ring for our first contest.

Chris Candido w/ Sunny vs. Roadkill

Chris Candido is coming off an impressive victory over Danny Doring, last week, and Roadkill is coming out of a bout with the Junkyard Dog that ended as a no contest. Roadkill is looking to improve upon his tag team partner’s performance from last week against Candido. The match begins with Candido getting the early offensive advantage, but Roadkill mount a comeback with some big power moves. Being the heaviest wrestler in AGPW, he uses his weight advantage to do some damage against Candido. However, he can never put him away and Candido is able to find a way to get back into the match and scrape together enough offense to get the big man down long enough for him to go to the top rope and finish him with the New Jersey Jam.

Official Decision: Chris Candido wins by pinfall

We get a camera shot of a back entrance to the Halifax Forum. A town car pulls up and Lance Storm gets out. He walks up to enter the building, but security guards block his entrance and ask him for his pass. He says he doesn’t have one, but his friend does. Then, we see Leo Burke get out of the car. He shows security his pass and tells them that it’s alright to let Storm in because he’s with him, so they let Burke and Storm enter.

*Commercial Break 1*

The Southern Boys vs. Mad Dog Vachon & Dino Bravo w/ Frenchy Martin

This match is simply a showcase for Vachon and Bravo to do what they do best. Bravo uses power moves and an array of suplexes on Smothers and Armstrong, while Vachon uses every dirty trick in the book to maintain control of the match for his team. The ending comes when Bravo gives Armstrong an airplane spin, then drops him and tags in Vachon, who gives him the piledriver and then pins him as Bravo knocks Smothers off the ring apron.

Official Decision: Mad Dog Vachon & Dino Bravo win by pinfall

After the match, Frenchy Martin gets on the microphone and promises the Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas that the issues between them are far from over. He goes on a short rant about how despicable the two of them are and then says that he and his men won’t rest until they have been thrown out of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling as if they were yesterday’s trash!

Ed Whelan: For as much as we may not like them, we have to admit that Mad Dog Vachon and Dino Bravo make a dangerous tag team combination.

Jeremy Borash: They made short work of the Southern Boys, who never really stood a chance against Frenchy Martin’s men. And despite all of their threats and promises to cause a world of pain to the Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas, I noticed that they didn’t challenge them to a match. What do you make of that, Ed?

Ed Whelan: It sounds to me like they’re good at talking, but too afraid to actually have to come face-to-face with the Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas. In any event, Grand Prix fans, I spoke to “No Class” Bobby Bass earlier today about his match with Test, tonight. Here’s what he had to say.

Ed Whalen has a backstage interview with “No Class” Bobby Bass, who says that the entire world expects Test not to show up, and neither does he. However, he claims that they expect it for the wrong reasons. He says Test won’t show because he’s afraid of Bobby Bass (and he doesn’t blame him). Then he says that he didn’t come here not to have a fight, tonight. He says that someone is going to get their teeth knocked out. If it isn’t Test, then it’ll be whoever is brave enough to try his luck with Bobby Bass in the middle of the ring, because when he enters that ring he isn’t leaving until he’s had a fight.

*Commercial Break 2*

We return from the break to see René Duprée in the backstage area. He’s approaching the backstage arena entrance. He produces a photo of Lance Storm and tells the security guards not to let him in. They tell Duprée that it is too late because he’s already in the building. He tells them that unless his father approved it, he was not allowed to enter the building and demands to know if they received that order. They tell him that his father didn’t put his name on the list, but that he was the guest of Leo Burke. Duprée blows a gasket! Then, he pulls his phone out and starts to make a call as the feed goes back to ringside.

Jeremy Borash: It looks like René Duprée isn’t happy about Lance Storm being here and he’s calling his father to complain about it.

Ed Whalen: I know Emile is a good, reasonable man, and I can’t imagine him putting up with his son’s temper tantrum. In fact, I would expect him to want to get Lance Storm signed to a contract as soon as possible, that is, if he hasn’t done so already.

Jeremy Borash: I certainly hope he has signed him because Storm is an incredibly talented wrestler and it would be a pleasure to watch him in the Grand Prix ring.

Ed Whalen: He sure is, Jeremy. Well, fans, next up we have Al Snow versus the Cuban Assassin. There is no odds on favourite in this one. Any man could win. The only thing I know for sure is that both men belong in the loony bin! Let’s go to the ring.

Al Snow vs. Cuban Assassin

This match gets underway with a straight up fist fight. Both guys are drilling each other, but the Cuban Assassin has the stronger hands, and so he takes control. He gets Snow in a corner and just wails away on him. He gets him up for a whip to the opposite corner, but Snow reverses it and the Assassin hits the turnbuckle hard enough to come back out and get a back bodydrop. While the Assassin is trying to get up, Snow takes him back down with a double-underhook suplex. He goes for the first cover of the match, but the Assassin kicks out at two. Snow puts him in a rear chinlock to slow the pace down. The Assassin gets to his feet and breaks the hold with some elbows to the abdomen. Then he headbutts Snow and drops him with a stiff short-arm clothesline. The Cuban Assassin has the advantage for the next few minutes, but when he can’t seem to put Snow away, he throws him to the outside. He goes out and goes for a whip, but Snow reverses it and the Cuban Assassin slams into the ringsteps. Snow brings him up and delivered a few fists to his forehead, then presses him over the guardrail. Finally, Snow brings him back into the ring. Snow maintains the offensive advantage, although the Assassin tries to stop the onslaught, but without much success. Finally, he manages a whip reversal. Snow comes back off the ropes and goes for a cross-body block, but the Assassin catches him and gives him a backbreaker. He covers for two. The Assassin gets him up and gives him some punches and chops and then a headbutt that drops Snow onto the mat. Then, he gives him an elbow drop and pins for two. The Cuban Assassin picks him up and sends him into the corner. He slowly walks in there and Snow boots him in the jaw, then reverses places with him and lays into him with stiff knife-edge chops. He whips the Assassin across the ring and follows in with a stiff clothesline, then brings him out of the corner with a bulldog. He pins for two. Snow brings him to his feet and sends him into the ropes. He gives him a dropkick that causes him to fall through the ropes and onto the floor. Snow goes to the corner and picks up Head and he’s headbanging Head in the middle of the ring, much to the delight of the crowd. Meanwhile, the referee is looking for the Cuban Assassin while he’s counting him out, but he can’t find him. The Cuban Assassin re-appears on from under the other side of the ring and slides in. He spins Snow around and hits him with brass knuckles, then hides then in his trunks. The referee is still counting him out when he shouts at him. The referee turns around to watch the Cuban Assassin deliver a DDT and then covers him for the 3-count.

Official Decision: Cuban Assassin wins by pinfall

The camera gets a close up shot of the Cuban Assassin while he’s having his hand raised. It doesn’t look exactly like the man who started the match. Then, another cameraman at ringside catches another Cuban Assassin coming out from under the ring. He hops the guardrail and disappears through the crowd. That looked like the real Cuban Assassin. What’s going on here?!

*Commercial Break 3*

Jeremy Borash: Welcome back, Grand Prix fans. Before the break, the Cuban Assassin scored the pinfall victory over Al Snow. However, he played switcheroo with another man who likes nearly identical to him.

Ed Whalen: He didn’t win it fairly nor squarely, Jeremy. But who is this other Cuban Assassin? Hopefully, we’ll be able to get some answers next week. But, for now, let’s go back to the ring for our next contest. It’s “Marvelous” Marc Mero vs. Eric Young of Team Canada.

Jeremy Borash: And we’re about to find out who Mero’s personal trainer is. I’m very interested to find out who keeps him in such great shape.

“Marvelous” Marc Mero w/ Candice Michelle vs. Eric Young

“Marvelous” Marc Mero comes out first and takes a moment at the entrance set to talk up the debut of his awesome personal trainer, who comes out at his prompt. It’s Candice Michelle! She receives a big ovation from the crowd, but Mero is still receiving jeers. Next, Eric Young comes down to the ring. Candice flashes Young a quick smile that stops him in his tracks for a moment before he enters the ring. The match starts out slow with both guys trying to feel each other out. The pace picks up and they both exchange some fast offense moves, while they’re running and whipping each other all over the ring. Eventually, Mero finally gets an opening to take the first advantage in the match with a Samoan drop. He proceeds to dictate the pace of the match for a while, until making the mistake of going to the top rope too soon. Young gets up and bounces into the ropes to cause Mero to fall onto the top turnbuckle. Then, Young goes up and nails a superplex. They’re both down and get up at the same time. Young eventually wrestles control of the match away from Mero with a series of various suplexes. With Young now firmly in control of the match, Candice Michelle gets on the ring apron and tries to get his attention. He comes over and she starts twirling her fingers in his beard. Mero gets up and catches Young off guard with a schoolboy roll-up, but he only gets a 2-count. Mero dropkicks him and then gives him a release German suplex. Mero showboats while his man is down. Then, he notices Johnny Devine coming down to ringside. They trade a few words. Devine insists that he isn’t here to get involved in the match. Young gets up and rolls up Mero for two. They both get up and hit each other with clotheslines. Both men are down. This match will continue after the break.

*Commercial Break 4*

When we come back from the break, Young is in control of the match, and Devine is slowly creeping towards Candice Michelle, completely indiscrete about the fact that he’s checking her out. Young scoopslams Mero and goes to the top rope for a moonsault, but lands on Mero’s knees. They both get up at the referee’s count of eight. They trade punches. Young gets the better of the exchange and sends Mero into the far corner. He charges in, but gets a boot to the face. Mero gives him a Russian legsweep, then covers for a two-count. He picks up Young and gives him a pair of suplexes. Then, he looks outside and sees Devine, basically chasing Candice Michelle around the ring, now. Mero leaves the ring to confront Devine. He tries to take a shot at Mero, but his hands are way faster. He blocks and hits him hard. Mero is taking it to Devine. The referee goes outside to try to get Mero’s focus back on his match. Meanwhile, Candice Michelle has gone back to working her charms on Young. She hops down from the apron and blows him a kiss while Mero returns to the ring. Young looks like he’s in love, which leaves him prey to Mero, who spins him around and gives him a few jabs and a knee to the face. Then he picks up Young to set up for the TKO, but Devine chop blocks him from behind. The referee calls for the bell.

Official Decision: “Marvelous” Marc Mero wins by disqualification

Devine keeps putting the boots to Mero, while Young starts looking for Candice Michelle. She’s half way down the entrance isle and getting out of there when Young sees her and shouts to get her attention. She turns and sees him, so he hurries to try to catch up to her, causing her to run for cover backstage. Meanwhile, Devine gives Mero the Devine Intervention piledriver and receives a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Ed Whalen: Wow! I’m not sure what to think of what has just happened here. What do you make of this, Jeremy?

Jeremy Borash: Johnny Devine has just attacked Mero, I don’t think he’ll take this one sitting down. It’s an odd turn of events and the fan reaction is mixed. The Marvelous one certainly hasn’t been winning over any supporters since arriving in Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling, but I can’t say as though he’s the bad guy in this exchange. I mean, Devine did come out here and seemed to be ready to make some unwanted advances on Candice Michelle.

Ed Whalen: You make a good point, Jeremy. One has to wonder, what, if anything will come of it and where they go from here. Well, Grand Prix fans, we have to go to a break. There is more exciting action to come, including the in-ring debut of Test and tonight’s main event, Robbie E vs. Petey Williams. Don’t go away!

*Commercial Break 5*

Jeremy Borash is with Al Snow. He asks Al Snow for his reaction to being defeated by not one but two Cuban Assassins tonight. Snow expresses disbelief that there could be two Cuban Assassins, then he has an argument with Head. It seems that Head believes that he didn’t lose the match fairly, while Snow is of the impression that he was out-wrestled tonight. Head thinks there may have been a second shooter. Snow doesn’t want to talk about the Kennedy assassination. There is some more bickering that goes on until Snow has been convinced by Head to check his DVR of tonight’s episode to see if a second man was caught on tape. He praises Head for her remarkable idea and they leave Borash, who seems unsure of what to say. He just sends the broadcast back to the ring.

Leo Burke comes to the ring to a big ovation. He grabs a microphone and begins by recounting how he lost to René Duprée by nefarious means two weeks ago and how Duprée couldn’t stand to hear the truth, so he was attacked. Then, he reminds us all of the comments he made after the fact. He reminds us that Duprée challenged anyone to prove to him that he isn’t the best wrestler in all of Canada. He says that not only is he more than willing to prove Duprée wrong, but so too is Lance Storm.

Storm comes to the ring and joins Burke. He mentions how he attended last week’s show. He notes that people have been asking him if it is true that he is not currently under contract to Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling and confirms it. However, he says he’s ready to sign on the dotted line right now and then he asks the crowd if he could be serious for a minute – and gets a pop for it. He pauses and the crowd hushes. He says that Leo Burke will get him a meeting with Emile Duprée, he will sign a contract, and then he will wrestle René Duprée and make him eat his words.

We go backstage and see René Duprée watching on a monitor. He’s angry and starts slamming his fist into things. He gets his phone out and tries to place a call. We can hear him say, “Come on, pick up this time! Pick up the phone!” Then he looks happy for a moment and starts talking, “Câlice simonaque! As-tu vu ce qui s’est passé? Alors, qu’est ce je vais faire maintenant? Tabarnac! Excusez-moi un instant…” He stops as he notices a cameraman there and he grabs the camera and shoves him out of the dressing room that he’s in, while saying, “Get that out of my face, mon osti!”

*Commercial Break 6*

We return from the break to find Jeremy Borash with “Marvelous” Marc Mero and Candice Michelle. Mero is livid about what happened earlier tonight. He intends to teach Johnny Devine a lesson and he’s going to do to it when they face each other in the ring next week. Candice Michelle also makes a comment about how disgusting she thinks the men from Team Canada are and that Canadians seem to be pretty ugly, in general.

Then, Eric Young happens on the scene and says that he’s been looking for Candice ever since the end of his match. She tells him to buzz off. He says he doesn’t understand and Mero tells him that he’ll make him understand and then he attacks him and starts throwing him up against nearby walls, all of which – conveniently – have many clangy poles leaning against them. Backstage security swarms the area to break things up, as we send things back to ringside.

Test vs. “No Class” Bobby Bass

Test no shows another match and the referee declares “No Class” Bobby Bass the winner.

Official Decision: “No Class” Bobby Bass wins by forfeit

True to his word, Bass refuses to the leave the ring. He grabs a microphone and makes grand sweeping statements about how poor the competition is and says he doesn’t blame everyone for being too afraid to face him in the ring, but says he’s not leaving without a fight. Then, “Primetime” Elix Skipper appears and we have ourselves a new match!

Elix Skipper vs. “No Class” Bobby Bass

Bass tries to take the fight to Primetime before the bell even rings, but he doesn’t get more than 3-4 punches off before Skipper fights back and takes total control of the early minutes of the match. Bass manages to mount a brief comeback, but Skipper eventually regains control of the match with a dazzling array of offensive maneuvers, and he doesn’t relinquish it again. He finishes the match in just over 4 minutes by pinning Bass after giving him the Play of the Day.

Official Decision: Elix Skipper wins by pinfall

Ed Whalen: Elix Skipper continues to look great in the ring. Two matches under his belt and two very impressive wins for the man they call “Primetime.”

Jeremy Borash: He looked great and he didn’t give Bobby Bass much of a chance to get back into the match. When Bass found an opening, Skipper quickly shut the door.

Ed Whalen: It was a great match and I think we’ll see many more great matches from him while he’s in Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling.

Jeremy Borash: Ed, I have some big news that just came to me. Emile Duprée will be here next week to make a big announcement!

Ed Whalen: Wow, Jeremy! Any word on what he intends to announce.

Jeremy Borash: I have no idea. All I know is that he’s booked off some time to make a major announcement next week.

Ed Whalen: I can’t wait to find out what it is. Well, fans, stay with us. Our main event is coming up after the break. But, first, I spoke to the Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas during the last commercial break. Here’s what they had to say.

Both men take turns addressing the comments made by Frenchy Martin earlier in the evening. They note that everything he said is nothing more than hot air unless he challenges them to a match. They want to see if Martin, Vachon and Bravo can do more than just talk, so they’re issuing them a challenge to a tag team match, next week: The Junkyard Dog & Bo Dallas vs. Dino Bravo & Mad Dog Vachon! Will Frenchy Martin accept the challenge? Tune in next week!

*Commercial Break 7*

Robbie E vs. Petey Williams

The match is slow to get started because both men are complaining to the referee that they don’t trust the other man not to cheat. Williams wants Robbie T removed from ringside before the match starts, but Robbie E is trying to make the case that Robbie T must stay to prevent any of Williams’ friends from interfering on his behalf, reminding the referee of his loss to Eric Young, which happened only after Williams broke the bro code. The referee decides to let Robbie T stay at ringside. Williams doesn’t like the decision, so he signals to the back for help and Johnny Devine comes down to ringside. Finally, the match begins, with both Robbie T and Johnny Devine shouting at each other from opposite sides of the ring. Williams and Robbie E are putting on a nice display of chain wrestling in the early going. Williams starts to put a few moves together in a row, but it is stopped as Robbie E gets whipped to the ropes and clings to them to stop. The referee is looking the other way, so he quickly drops to the mat and then feigns an injury, while pointing at Johnny Devine and claiming that he tripped him up. Devine pleads his innocence, but the referee has decided to kick him out from ringside. He loses his cool over the decision and argues with the referee, but to no avail. Other ring and security officials come down to escort him away. Robbie E is putting on a show and claims that his ankle is too messed up to continue, so the referee signals for the bell and awards the match to him via disqualification. Williams is visibly upset and talking it over with the referee. Meanwhile, Robbie T comes in and clubs him in the back of the neck with a lariat. Williams goes down hard. Robbie T starts beating away at him. The referee tries to break it up, but he gets tossed aside and knocked out. With the referee incapacitated, Robbie E instantly recovers from his ankle injury. He pulls a table out from under the ring and sets it up. Robbie T brings Williams out to the ring apron, then sends him crashing through the table with a powerbomb. The Robbies celebrate as the broadcast goes off air.

Official Decision: Robbie E wins by disqualification

Again I apologize for my tardiness as I'm not able to access these boards from my work laptop. A couple of things I was really looking forward to here: the reveal of Marc Mero's trainer because I'm a sucker for mystery debuts if they're done right, and this one was done remarkably well. That spot actually won Candice Michelle "Woman of the Week" in the Mash-Up highlight center. Also the result of Lance Storms run in last episode with Rene Dupree. Security tried to block Storms entry into the building but his pal Leo Burke got him in. There are apparently two Cuban Assassins in what has got to be the craziest thing I've seen in Mash Up Wrestling all week. Test continues to show no-class by no-showing, but at least Bobby Bass doesn't get a paycheck without working. Elix Skipper made him do the J-O-B.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable Bo Dallas/JYD vs Mad Dog/Bravo clash as well. In the main event we get a battle between two TNA contemporaries Petey Williams & Robbie E. As much as I despise Robbie E & T bro, I give credit to his dasterdly scheme tonight. First he lures Johnny Devine to ringside by having Robbie T nearby. Then he feigns an ankle injury and claims Devine tripped him up, getting the Team Canada player ejected from the match. The ankle injury to Robbie E is so devastating he can't continue the match and is awarded a victory by DQ, almost like Jon Jones only "loss" to Matt Hamill. But of course it's all just a ruse and the two Robbie's combine to send Petey Williams through a table in the spot of the night to end the show. Another solid outing from AGPW as Mash Up Wrestling continues to turn up the heat. 10 out of 10 points for another perfect score!
