Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN
Saturday, June 1, 2013
From the Charlottetown Civic Centre in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

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

Ed Whalen: Good evening, Atlantic Canada! Welcome to Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN. I’m Ed Whalen, and with me as always is Jeremy Borash.

Jeremy Borash: Fans, we have an exciting show for you, tonight. René Duprée, Leo Burke, and Dean Malenko will all be in action, tonight. Plus, Robbie T will go one-on-one with Chavo Guerrero, and the Cuban Assassin takes on Taka Michinoku.

Ed Whalen: Plus, that’s not all. Our main event will feature “Marvelous” Marc Mero versus Johnny Devine. It is a grudge match that came about after Mero became furious at Devine for making a pass at his personal trainer, Candice Michelle.

Jeremy Borash: And let’s not forget about the biggest news of all – Emile Duprée is here and he has a special announcement to make. I wonder what it will be. Any idea what it will be, Ed?

Ed Whalen: Not at all. I know there has been some speculation that his son, René, has something to do with this, but I’m confident that he isn’t here to do whatever René wants him to do.

Jeremy Borash: And let’s face it, what René wants him to do is make sure that Lance Storm never shows his face at another Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling event ever again.

Ed Whalen: I can’t imagine that is what will happen.

Jeremy Borash: I hope not. Ed, let’s not forgot that, in addition to all of that, The Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas issued a challenge to Mad Dog Vachon & Dino Bravo, last week. We still haven’t heard from Frenchy Martin or his men. Will they accept the challenge?

Ed Whalen: It looks like we’re about to find out. Here come The Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas now!

Cue Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” and the entrance of The Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas. The crowd gives them a red hot reception. JYD jukes a little for the fans and Dallas tries to juke along with him for a few moments before they ask for a microphone. They get right down to business. JYD notes that they issued a challenge to Frenchy Martin to have his men meet them in the ring for a tag team match this week. They want them to come and answer it because JYD and Bo Dallas are ready to rumble!

Out come Frenchy Martin, Dino Bravo and Mad Dog Vachon. Martin is proudly waving his Québec flag. They stop in the entrance aisle. Martin hands his flag off to Dino Bravo, who hands him a microphone. Martin says that he has a very simple answer for JYD and Dallas. “No!” They don’t accept the challenge. JYD and Dallas want to know why they are acting like cowards. Bravo & Vachon don’t like being accused of being cowards, so they start heading down to the ring, but Martin gets in front of them and pushes them back. Once he’s got them settled down, Martin goes on a tirade in French, presumably to explain why he and his men refuse to accept the challenge. Then, he insults the Atlantic Canadian fans in English before warning the JYD and Dallas that just because they won’t have a match tonight doesn’t mean that things are over between them. They’ve only just begun. After that, Martin, Bravo and Vachon leave to a chorus of boos from the crowd.

Ed Whalen: Well, I can’t say I’m surprised that they declined the challenge of the Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas. Those guys have big red streaks running down each of their spines.

Jeremy Borash: We won’t see them settle anything tonight. Just as Frenchy Martin said, this feud has really only just begun.

Ed Whalen: Fans, Leo Burke will be in action, coming up after the break. Don’t go away!

*Commercial Break 1*

“Dastardly” Danny Doring vs. Leo Burke

They feel each other out in the opening moments of the match. There is some chain wrestling that follows. Doring gets a bit of offense in, but he’s out-matched and out-classed by the veteran, Leo Burke, who fights back to stop Doring flat in his tracks each time he tries to build some momentum. Burke slowly wears Doring down to the point where he’s ripe for falling victim to the sleeperhold.

Official Decision: Leo Burke wins by putting his opponent to sleep

Jeremy Borash: We hadn’t seen Leo Burke in the ring in a few weeks, not since his big match against René Duprée.

Ed Whalen: You’re right. It doesn’t look like the break has done him harm. He looked good in the ring, tonight.

Jeremy Borash: I think he needed to get back in there and pick up a win. While he is still dealing with an unresolved issue with René Duprée, it cannot be his sole focus right now.

Ed Whalen: Well said, Jeremy. Speaking of René Duprée, we’ll be seeing him wrestle later in the broadcast. He wants to convince us that he is the best wrestler in Canada.

Jeremy Borash: Yes, I spoke to him briefly before the show and he told me that he will only wrestle against other Canadian wrestlers in Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling until he has beaten them all and that will prove that he is the best Canadian wrestler in the world, which in turn will prove that he is better than Lance Storm.

Ed Whalen: I don’t know how you can prove that you are a better wrestler than someone else without actually facing him. That makes no sense to me.

“Marvelous” Marc Mero and his personal trainer, Candice Michelle, were backstage with Jeremy Borash before the show. Borash begins by asking Candice what she thinks of the attention she received last week from Johnny Devine and Eric Young. She tells Jeremy that, as a personal trainer, she gets this kind of treatment all of the time. However, she says, it doesn’t make it right and it doesn’t make either guy any less pathetic than all of the other losers who try to hit on women at the gym. She finishes by saying that she thinks both of them are greasy scumbags. Borash asks Mero about his match with Devine. He says that he is going to use this opportunity to make a statement to the rest of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling not to harass his personal trainer. He says that Candice is here to guide his training regime and give him positive encouragement during his matches, not to be ogled by a bunch of idiotic and talentess Canadian wrestlers. Finally, he says that once he’s finished with Devine, no one will ever try to pull the same stunt on his personal trainer ever again.

*Commercial Break 2*

The Southern Boys vs. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch

This is an all-southern affair taking place way up north. It is a couple of good ol’ boys versus a cowboy and a beer drinking truck driver. Cade & Murdoch work great together in the early going, as they manage to isolate Armstrong and concentrate on working over his mid-section (back and front). They make frequent tags and execute a lot of double team moves. In order to keep his team in the match, Smothers has to jump in a few times to break up some pins. Eventually, it is Murdoch who makes a critical mistake by setting up for a backbody drop that Armstrong counters with a facebreaker knee smash. Murdoch recovers and grabs Armstrong by the foot. Armstrong gets up to one foot and delivers an enziguri kick. Then, he makes the hot tag to Smothers, who goes to town on Murdoch and Cade. He cleans house, sending both men to the outside to try to regroup. Murdoch slowly climbs onto the ring apron. Smothers comes over to bring him back into the ring, but he ducks between the ropes to drive his shoulder into Smother’s mid-section and then leaps over the top rope and Smothers, and then tags out. Cade comes in and takes down Smothers with a couple of clotheslines. He runs to the corner and knocks Armstrong off of the ring apron with a forearm to the side of the head. He waits for Smothers to get up and goes for a lariat, but he ducks it. Cade ends up in his corner and he makes the tag. Cade goes for another lariat, Smothers ducks it again. Then he meets Murdoch with some fists and chops, before being turned around by Cade and being given an inverted atomic drop. Murdoch runs to the ropes and drops him with a running big boot to the face. He covers, but only gets a two count. Meanwhile, Armstrong enters the ring, but he eats a superkick from Cade. After that, Cade and Murdoch give Smothers the Sweet and Sour (a simultaneous lariat from Cade and chopblock from Murdoch). Murdoch covers and gets the 3-count for the win.

Official Decision: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch win by pinfall

Jeremy Borash: Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch continue to look very impressive as they win another match against the Southern Boys.

Ed Whalen: They are building steady momentum. Tracey Smothers and Steve Armstrong looked completely outmatched in this one.

*Commercial Break 3*

Robbie T vs. Chavo Guerrero

This match begins with Robbie T dominating in the early moments. When they locked up to begin the match, Robbie T showed off his size and power advantage by throwing Chavo half way across the ring. However, Chavo isn’t a quitter. While, Robbie gives him a bunch of power moves and high impact blows, Chavo keeps himself in it by taking it and kicking out of every pinfall attempt that Robbie T makes. Eventually, Chavo finds a way back into the match. He gets sent into the ropes. Robbie sets up for a back bodydrop but Chavo telegraphs it with a sunset flip attempt. Robbie is too big to pull down into the pin. He tries to sit down on Chavo, but he moves and Robbie’s ass hits the mat hard. Robbie gets up and Chavo gives him some fists and chops. He backs Robbie T into the ropes and attempts to whip him, but it is reversed. Chavo comes back and takes the big man off of his feet with tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Robbie T gets up and Chavo gives him a dropkick. He goes for his first fall attempt of the match, but Robbie T breaks up the count with a kick out while lifting Chavo and tossing him up off of him. Chavo decides to go out and climb the turnbuckle. Robbie E goes over and grabs him by the foot. Chavo tries to shake him off, but it isn’t working. He only breaks from Robbie E’s grip when Petey Williams attacks him. Chavo goes flying, but Robbie T catches him in flight and powerslams him to the mat. He doesn’t follow it up with a pin, however, as he sees Eric Young sliding into the ring. Robbie T levels him with a hard clothesline. He grabs Young and puts him over his shoulder. He looks to be going for a running powerslam, but Williams grabs Young by the leg and pulls him down from behind Robbie T. He helps Young out of the ring. Robbie T turns to face them. He’s over by the ropes shouting at them to stop being such cowards. This gives Chavo an opening to grabs Robbie T from behind and takes the big man down with a bridging German suplex that knocks enough wind out of him to just get the 3-count before Robbie T kicks out of it.

Official Decision: Chavo Guerrero wins by pinfall

Jeremy Borash: Chavo sneaks by with a win to remain undefeated in Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling.

Ed Whelan: He’s getting out of there quickly. Robbie T is visibly upset with the official and Team Canada members Petey Williams and Eric Young.

Jeremy Borash: Williams came out to get a little bit of revenge on Robbie E and Robbie T for putting him through a table last week. He took Robbie E out of the picture by suplexing him on the thin gym mat, which is basically like hitting the floor, and caused Robbie T to lose his match, with the help of Eric Young.

Ed Whelan: I would expect the Robbies to respond next week. Robbie T won’t let that loss go.

Ed Whelan spoke to Johnny Devine before tonight’s show. Devine isn’t worried about Marc Mero’s threats. He knows that Mero doesn’t stand a chance against the “Hot Shot.” He’s then asked about his ungentlemanly behaviour towards Candice Michelle. He says that it only makes sense for the hottest man in the building to have the hottest woman in the building on his arm and in his corner. He knows that what he did upset Mero and he knows that what he’s saying will only upset him more, but it doesn’t worry him because he doesn’t think that Mero will present much of a challenge tonight. So, he concludes, that when he defeats Mero with considerable ease, Candice Michelle will come to him because she’ll have witnessed who the better man is.

*Commercial Break 4*

René Duprée vs. Biff Wellington

Duprée takes the microphone at the beginning of the match and announces that he will prove to everyone that he is the best wrestler in all of Canada by easily defeating a fellow Canadian, here, tonight. He does what he said he would do. This is basically a 3-minute squash for Duprée. Wellington hardly gets the opportunity to do anything on offense. Duprée pretty much dominates the match from opening bell to final bell and finishes with the win after giving Wellington the Duprée Driver.

Official Decision: René Duprée wins by pinfall

René Duprée dances the French Tickler and then he asks for a ringside microphone. He is being showered by boos from the crowd. He has to stop about three times before saying anything because the reaction is so intense. Finally, he speaks up and asks the audience, “Don’t you want to know what my father’s big announcement is? Hey, papa! Es-tu déjà là? Pourquoi pas venir annoncer tes nouvelles maintenant?” After a few moments, we see Emile Duprée come down to the ring.

[

Emile enters the ring and receives a warm embrace from his son. The fans are really jeering them. René flips out at them for showing his father a lack of respect. He hands the microphone over to his father and tells him to go ahead with the announcement. Emile says that he has a shopping list of items to address and he will do so one at a time. First, he thinks that the city that bore witness to the birth of this great country, Canada, deserves a big time event feel, next week. He is disappointed that Frenchy Martin and his crew refused to accept the challenge of the Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas. So, he’s going to give the people of Charlottetown that match next week. And, he adds, it will be no holds barred!

The crowd pops. René grabs the microphone and says, “See, my dad is a great man because he gives you, the people, what you want! Maintenant, papa, tell them the bigger news!” He hands the microphone back to Emile, who proceeds to announce that a 16-man tournament will be held to crown Atlantic Grand Prix’s new International Heavyweight Champion and that round one will begin next week, here, in Charlottetown! The crowd is excited about that. René grabs the microphone and again tells the crowd that his father is amazing and that they were idiots to boo him. Then, he says, “Come on, papa, you haven’t even told them the biggest news. You know – the good news about me and the bad news about Lance Storm.”

The crowd begins to boo as René hands the mic back to his father with a look of excitement on his face. In fact, René is so excited that he starts dancing again. Finally, Emile speaks up and says that the good news is that his son will be wrestling in a big main event next week and the bad news is that Lance Storm will not be signed to an Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling contract. The crowd comes down hard on him for this news. On the other hand, René throws his hands in the air and screams for joy. When the crowd reaction dies down a bit, Emile tells them that he wasn’t finished. He says that Lance Storm won’t be signed to a contract, “without having first won a try-out match next week, here, in Charlottetown.”

René suddenly looks unhappy. He asks his father what is going on. Emile responds that while he loves his son and understands that he doesn’t like Lance Storm, he doesn’t want to be accused of nepotism. He has to run his company in a responsible manner, so he can’t just give René what he wants without having him earn it. That’s why he’s going to give René the chance to prevent Lance Storm from earning a contract when they wrestle each other in next week’s main event. Also, he notes that only 15-men have been secured spots in the title tournament. Again, so as to not be accused of nepotism, René will have to earn his spot in the tournament. The winner of next week’s main event will not only determine whether Lance Storm receives a Grand Prix contract, but he will also qualify for the final spot in the International Heavyweight Championship title tournament! Emile finishes to a big ovation from the crowd. René is not amused.

*Commercial Break 5*

Jeremy Borash: Welcome back, fans! Wow! That was not what I was expecting at all. Folks, if you missed it, before the break, Emile Duprée made some major announcements concerning next week’s episode of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling! A tournament to determine who will become the International Heavyweight Champion will begin next week. Also, Mad Dog Vachon & Dino Bravo will face Junkyard Dog & Bo Dallas – no holds barred! And, René Duprée will have to wrestle Lance Storm with so much on the line, including a spot in the title tournament and a contract for Lance Storm.

Ed Whalen: Ladies and gentlemen, next week is going to be a huge event! Perhaps the biggest we’ve seen since the re-launch of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling. You are not going to want to miss it! But, now, let’s head to the ring for our next match.

Cuban Assassin vs. TAKA Michinoku

TAKA catches the Cuban Assassin off-guard at the beginning of the match with a spinning heel kick, which he then follows up with several other kicks and then a springboard half-corkscrew crossbody block into a pinning combination to get a 2-count. TAKA stays on the offensive with some chops and a whip into the corner followed by a running spinning heel kick and TAKA lands on his feet on the apron. He climbs the turnbuckle and drops the Cuban Assassin into the mat with a reverse falling leg drop from the top rope. He rolls Cuban Assassin over for the pin, but only gets two. TAKA runs to the ropes and goes for a huricanrana, but the Cuban Assassin finally ends TAKA’s offensive dominance with a sit-out powerbomb. When both men get up, it is the Cuban Assassin who is in control of the match. He takes his time with his non-technical offense consisting primarily of punches, chops, kicks and power moves. He sets up for a DDT, but TAKA manages to back him into the corner to stop the move. TAKA with a pair of kicks and then a monkey flip to take him out of the corner. He goes up top and hits the Cuban Assassin with a missile dropkick that sends him clear across the ring. Cuban Assassin has enough presence of mind to roll out of the ring. He shakes the cobwebs out and then points to the referee to make sure TAKA gives him space to come back in. The ref turns to warn TAKA. Meanwhile, the Cuban Assassin looks under the ring apron and we can see that he gets blasted in the head with something white. He crumples over and he’s out cold. The ref isn’t sure what has happened, but he starts his standard countout and the Cuban Assassin can’t respond in time to avoid getting the loss.

Official Decision: TAKA Michinoku wins by countout

Post-match, Al Snow comes out from under the ring with his round, white weapon – Head! He head bangs with Head for a few seconds. Then, we see a second Cuban Assassin coming out from under the ring. He circles the ring. Snow sees him with a steal chair in his hands, so he hops the guardrail and makes his escape.

Jeremy Borash: Al Snow gets his revenge on the Cuban Assassins, this week.

Ed Whalen: It looks like Al Snow took Head’s advice and reviewed his DVR of last week’s match to see that he was beaten by two Cuban Assassins.

Jeremy Borash: And Ed, we still don’t really know who this second man is other than that he looks almost exactly like the Cuban Assassin.

Ed Whalen: Hopefully, we’ll soon find out who he is. But something tells me that the two Cuban Assassins won’t let Al Snow off so easily.

*Commercial Break 6*

During the break, Wailin’ Ed Whalen spoke to Frenchy Martin to get his reaction to the announcement that Dino Bravo and Mad Dog Vachon will face Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas in a match that will be fought under no holds barred rules. Martin says that he knows that everyone is expecting him to be upset, but he’s not. In fact, he’s very happy. He understands that the idiots of Atlantic Canada think that his men are afraid to face Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas because they declined the challenge, tonight. However, he says that that only reason he declined the challenge is because Bravo and Vachon want to teach JYD and Dallas a real lesson, which is why he lobbied Emile Duprée for the No Holds Barred stipulation, himself. This is a stipulation that he believes favours his men, which he dubs the Montréal Mafia. Then, he finishes the interview by saying that when anything goes, the Montréal Mafia can’t be stopped.

A-1 vs. “The Iceman” Dean Malenko

This match was nothing short of a squash in favour of Malenko. It lasted longer than you might expect, but only because Malenko was methodically picking apart his opponent and appeared to be in no rush to finish him off. A-1 was lucky to get in what little offence he could muster. He was unable to build any momentum, as each time that he managed to connect with something, Malenko was quick to counter his second offering. Malenko finished the match by getting A-1 to submit to the Texas Cloverleaf, after planting him into the mat with a gut-wrench powerbomb.

Official Decision: “The Iceman” Dean Malenko wins by submission

After the match, Dean Malenko grabs the microphone. He notes that he hasn’t said much since coming to Grand Prix. He’s been happy to just quietly go about his business – picking up wins in all of his matches and dominating his opponents in the process. He warns the rest of Grand Prix that he will continue to dominate the competition and that anyone who tries to stop him from gaining the International Heavyweight Championship title will fail.

Ed Whalen: Well, Jeremy, The Iceman has finally ended his silence. What do you make of what he just said?

Jeremy Borash: Dean Malenko has to be taken seriously, Ed. He has so far shown himself to be able to easily defeat his opponents. None of the competition that has come before him has even come close to defeating him.

Ed Whalen: That is all true. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins the title tournament. Fans, don’t go away. Our main event is next!

*Commercial Break 7*

Jeremy Borash caught up with Bo Dallas and the Junkyard Dog during the break. He asked them for their reaction to the announcement of their No Holds Barred match against Dino Bravo & Mad Dog Vachon, next week on Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling! They tell Borash that they couldn’t be happier that the match was signed and they are looking forward to it. Borash also asks them what they think about Martin’s claim that he asked for the No Holds Barred stipulation. JYD and Bo Dallas are surprised to hear it. Although they don’t believe it, they don’t care if he asked for the stipulation. They are looking forward to getting their hands on the Montréal Mafia.

Johnny Devine vs. “Marvelous” Marc Mero w/ Candice Michelle

The match begins when Devine makes a lewd gesture towards Candice Michelle. Mero rushes him and starts pounding away at him. He gets him into the corner and beats him down. The referee struggles to make some separation, but finally gets Mero out of the corner. Devine gets up and Mero runs at him only to get a drop toehold that sends his face into the turnbuckle. Devine puts the boots to Mero then sends him across the ring. He follows in but takes an elbow to the face. Mero hops up the second turnbuckle and then hits Devine with with a double axehandle smash. Mero picks him up and gives him a suplex. He takes Devine to the ropes and starts choking him out. He breaks the choke on the referee’s count. Mero does it again, and this time leans his knee into Devine’s back for added pressure. He breaks it at the count of four. The referee warns him that another choke will be an instant disqualification. Mero grabs Devine, spins him around and throws him to the floor. He goes outside and whips him into the guardrail. He charges at him, but Devine moves and Mero’s head and shoulder slam into the guardrail. Now, Devine takes over by slamming Mero’s face into the ringsteps and then driving his lower back into the side of the ring apron twice. He rolls in and out of the ring to break the referee’s count. Devine spots Candice Michelle checking on Mero. He comes over and grabs her by the arm. He says something to her and gets slapped in the face. Then, Mero pulls on his trunks and brings him in close for an upper-cut low blow! Mero rolls in and out of the ring. He kicks at Devine’s ribs as he tries to get up. Mero tosses Devine back into the ring. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and goes for the Merosault, but Devine gets his knees up. Both men are down, briefly. They get up and exchange chops. Devine racks his eyes, then hip tosses him down and follows it up with a stiff kick to the spine and a neck whiplash. He grabs Mero by the legs and looks like he is going for a sharpshooter, but Mero won’t turn over. Mero uses his leg strength to flip Devine over onto the mat. Mero gets up and runs to the ropes. Devine goes for a hurricanrana, but Mero counters with a sit-out powerbomb. He pins, but only gets a 2-count. Mero sends Devine into the corner. He charges in, but Devine boots him in the face. Devine climbs up to a seated position on the top turnbuckle. Mero comes over and takes another boot to the face. Then, Devine gets some headscissors on him and takes him down with a 180-degree hurricanrana from the corner. Devine lets Mero get up and then hits him with a stiff enziguri kick. He covers, but Mero kicks out just in time! Devine picks up Mero and lifts him into a suplex, but drops him forward across the top rope. Devine gives him a headlock and looks like he’s setting up for the Devine DDT, but Candice Michelle climbs onto the apron and holds onto Mero’s legs while Devine tries for the move. Devine drops into the mat, but losses his hold on Mero, who rolls through the move, thanks to Candice Michelle. Devine gets up and charges at Mero, only to end up receiving an inverted atomic drop and then the Kiss that Don’t Miss punch. Mero covers, but Devine just barely kicks out.

Mero picks him up and places him on his shoulders to go for the TKO, but then puts Devine down when he sees Eric Young coming down the entrance aisle with roses and a box of chocolates in his hands. Mero hops out of the ring to confront him. Young tries to push his way past Mero, but Mero gives him the Kiss that Don’t Miss! Young looks to be out on the floor. Mero gets back into the ring, where Devine is still laying down. He was just playing possum, and pulls Mero into a small package for two! They get up and Devine goes for another enzigurri kick, but Mero ducks it, and then locks him into a STF submission hold! Devine flails his arms around, but he has nothing left in the tank and frantically taps out!

Official Decision: “Marvelous” Marc Mero wins by submission

After the match, Candice Michelle and Marc Mero are celebrating in the ring, when they hear a loud bang. They see a chair in the ring. Eric Young just tossed it into the ring. He runs in and tackles Mero and punches away at him. He gets up and grabs the chair. He raises it over his head, but Candice Michelle pulls it out of his hands from behind. He turns around and sees her and she starts talking to him to buy Mero some time. He crawls over from behind and gives him a low blow. Then Candice Michelle hits him with the chair. Petey Williams comes running down and enters the ring. He’s caught in standoff with Mero until the Jersey Shore shows up and attacks him from behind. Meanwhile, Devine is getting up and Mero asks for the chair. Candice Michelle gives it to him and He levels Devine with a hard shot to the back. He gives him another! Meanwhile, Robbie E pulls apart the ring steps and drops them down into Williams’ midsection after he was laid out on the floor from a Robbie T Freakbuster! Mero, meanwhile, has locked Devine’s right ankle in the steel chair, and he proceeds to Pillmanize him! He jumps on it three times before officials swarm the ring. Mero, Candice Michelle and the Jersey Shore congratulate each other and celebrate as they walk away from the ring.

Jeremy Borash: Team Canada has been decimated,Ed!

Ed Whelan: They may all have suffered injuries after the beating they received from “Marvelous” Marc Mero and the Jersey Shore.

Jeremy Borash: Fans, we’ve run over and we’re out of time! Join us next week for the beginning of the International Heavyweight title tournament, Dino Bravo & Mad Dog Vachon versus Junkyard Dog & Bo Dallas in a No Holds Barred match, and René Duprée versus Lance Storm, with a spot in the title tournament and a contract for Lance Storm on the line!

Ed Whalen: It’s going to be a ring-a-ding-ding dandy! But in the meantime and in between time, thank you all so much for watching and have a great week!

[karlhugo]

We're settling in for another exciting episode of AGPW on ASN and they're really rolling the red carpet out on talent tonight. Everybody from Leo Burke to Dean Malenko will see action tonight. We start things off hot with JYD and Bo Dallas demanding an answer from the Montreal Mafia on their challenge. We're bracing for tag team action right now, but in true heelish fashion, Frenchy and his men decline the challenge! But promise things are far from over between both parties. Smart business decision by Frenchy Martin to wait and squeeze more money from the same fans he just insulted.

Leo Burke with a strong win over Doring and now has a signature hold to go with his push. More inflammatory racial and cultural prejudices on display, both by Rene Dupree and Marc Mero. AGPW seems to be a master at pushing these hot button topics. Some impressive character building wins for Cade & Murdoch and Chavo Guerrero. Rene Dupree also gets a victory over Biff Wellington that segues to an in ring appearance by his father Emile. He has some important announcements for AGPW, and closes with a bombshell Lance Storm vs Rene Dupree match for next week. Huge ramifications there and Rene Dupree is NOT happy with his fathers ruling, but it makes for exciting viewing.

What the heck happened to the Cuban Assassin? Did his clone clonk him from under the ring? Either way, Taka winds up with a win over the madman. Aha, it was Al Snow all along! With Head in tow, he takes revenge on the duplicate Assassins that cheated him out of victory last week! Nice play by Al Snow.

It turns out Frenchy Martin requested the no holds barred stipulation in the Montreal Mafia's match with JYD & Bo Dallas. That's bad news for the popular babyface tandem. Finally we get a chaotic ring-a-ding-ding dandy for the main event, when Marc Mero seeks vengeance against Johnny Devine for his disrespectful overtures towards Mero's trainer Candice Michelle. Absolute madness that ends with Mero tapping out Devine with World Champion Lou Thesz finishing move after Eric Williams interference backfired. In the end, Robbie E & T arrive to get a piece of Team Canada too, and the whole faction is decimated. Johnny Devine gets Pillmanized. Petey Williams is crushed with the ringside steps. Huge victory for the Away Team tonight as the hometown boys get put to sleep. Maybe permanently.

Overall this was a great episode, if not a little swollen. The characters are more established now and the ongoing feuds have grown very engrossing. There's the bizarre (Cuban Assassin vs Al Snow), the divine (Dupree vs Storm) and the violent (JYD & Dallas vs Montreal Mafia promises to be brutal). There's also a nice mix of recognizable names with some of the lesser known types I may not be familiar with. But through your writing, I get a very good sense of the kind of guys Emile Dupree & Leo Burke are. It's also amazing to think after all this work that AGPW has actually relaunched in real life. If they had half the talent on your roster they would be a major player! Good job as always, slade. Keep it up. 10 out of 10 points.

[Slade]

Thanks a lot for the feedback. It's always very much appreciated. I like finding out what others think of my work, whether it be great, good, poor, or terrible. Fortunately for me, most of the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. I'm glad that you're really enjoying it. If ever there is something that I write that you don't like or you feel like I've made a misstep in the way I've booking something, don't hesitate to let me know.

I'm really happy that Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling has come back to life. I really wish I was home to go see it live and in person.
