From Centre 200 in Sydney, Nova Scotia
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. We’re your hosts, Ed Whalen and Jeremy Borash. Jeremy, we are hot off of the heels of a huge edition of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN, last week.
Jeremy Borash: Last week featured two pay-per-view quality contests in René Duprée versus Lance Storm, and the No Holds Barred tag team contest featuring Junkyard Dog and Bo Dallas versus Dino Bravo and Mad Dog Vachon – the Montréal Mafia. All of those men, except for Duprée, will be competing in first round International Heavyweight Championship tournament matches.
Ed Whalen: Duprée lost his big match against Storm, meaning that Storm has been granted an Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling contract and is now entered in the International Heavyweight Championship title tournament.
Jeremy Borash: Storm secured his spot in the tournament, but he won’t have an easy path to the finals as his first round opponent will be Dino Bravo!
Ed Whalen: Tonight’s other first round contests will feature “Marvelous” Marc Mero against young Bo Dallas, Team Canada member and fan favourite Petey Williams versus Mad Dog Vachon, the Cuban Assassin versus the Junkyard Dog, and “Primetime” Elix Skipper will face Eric Young in a do-over of a match that has ended when Test tried to stop the tournament from even taking place!
Jeremy Borash: Speaking of Test, look at who it is!
Test comes to the ring and we immediately notice one big difference about him this week. For the first time since the re-birth of AGPW, Test is wearing his ring attire and looks like he’s ready to compete. He enters the ring and takes a microphone. He says that he’s not happy with the decision not to include him in the title tournament, especially since he is “clearly” the most talented wrestler in AGPW. However, he recognizes that there is no time to sit around crying about it. He needs to start wrestling and destroying the competition so that he can be the first in line for a title shot once a Champion is crowned. He says that everyone should make no mistake that he will be the first in line for a title shot and he will win it. Since he’s here and he needs to start competing to get what he wants, he’s decided to invite Elix Skipper to be the first to fall to him and to pay him back for what he did last week.
Chief Morley comes out and reminds Test that Skipper is already busy, tonight, and that he is the reason that Skipper is busy competing in a match that shouldn’t have to be re-contested. Test nonchalantly says that if he can’t have Skipper tonight, then he’ll just have to beat him some other time, and that he pities whichever poor schmuck will be made to come out here instead. Morley tells Test that there will be no one else coming out here because Test isn’t scheduled to have a match. Test protests that he is here and he’s ready to wrestle, so he has to have a match. The Chief of Staff tells Test that there is no time on the program to fit him in this week. Test calls bullshit on that and says that Morley is just trying to make his life miserable. Morley states that the administration would never do such a thing and claims that it treats all of its employees fairly before telling Test to get out of the ring or else he’ll have him forcibly removed. Test throws his microphone down and we can read his lips as he tells Morley that “this ain’t over,” before leaving the ring.
Jeremy Borash: It really looks like Chief Morley and Test don’t like each other.
Ed Whalen: Somehow, I don’t think this will be the last we see of Test, tonight.
Jeremy Borash: You’re probably right.
Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling’s new backstage interviewer, SoCal Val, is with Lance Storm. She congratulates him on his victory last week and then asks him how it feels to have earned an Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling contract and a spot in the International Heavyweight Championship tournament. Storm is elated to have earned a contract and a spot in the title tournament. However, he wants to be serious for a moment. He says that the most important thing that he accomplished by beating René Duprée last week was that it only took him 20-minutes to prove that Duprée is not the best wrestler in Canada. Val asks him about how he feels about facing Dino Bravo, tonight. Storm is well aware of the fact that it’ll be him against Bravo, Frenchy Martin and Mad Dog Vachon. The odds are stacked against him, but he is confident that he can overcome the odds.
w/ 
VS. 
Mad Dog Vachon w/ Frenchy Martin vs. Petey Williams
Mad Dog Vachon and Frenchy Martin come to the ring first. Martin asks for a microphone. He begins to speak, but then gets cut off by Petey Williams’ entrance music. Williams is coming out to the ring and Martin is giving the referee an ear full for losing his speaking time. While that is taking place, Williams gets rushed in the entrance aisle. The Jersey Shore attacks him from behind. They knock him down and put the boots to him. Then, Robbie T picks him up and gives him the Freakbuster on the floor. They walk him down to the ring and toss him in. Mad Dog Vachon quickly attacks, putting the boots to Williams. Martin stops his tirade and clears the ring and the bell is sound. Vachon sits down on him and gives him some fists and then chokes him. He breaks the hold at the last possible second. Then, he picks up Williams and gives him a piledriver and pins. This match is over in less than a minute!
Official Decision: Mad Dog Vachon wins by pinfall
*Commercial Break 1*
We return from the break to find SoCal Val with Petey Williams, who tells her that he’s had more than enough of the Jersey Shore’s crap. He wants to settle the score in the ring with either one or both of them next week.
Ed Whalen: I can’t blame Petey for wanting to end this feud with the Jersey Shore.
Jeremy Borash: It’s cost him a lot over the last few weeks, including his chance at the International Heavyweight title.
Ed Whalen: I think that was the last straw for Petey.
Jeremy Borash: We’ll have to wait and see if Petey Williams gets his wish. But for now, let’s go to our next match.
VS. 
“Primetime” Elix Skipper vs. Eric Young
This match starts out hot, with both men showing off their speed, athleticism and their willingness to take risks. Skipper takes control of the early portion of the match, then Young fights back and gets some offensive momentum for a while. It goes back and forth for a little bit, until a double clothesline spot knocks them both down and out of it. They both get up right before the referee’s 10-count ends and start to trade blows. Young gets the better of the exchange and then gives Skipper a pair of snap suplexes. He goes to the top rope and tries for a moonsault, but lands on Skipper’s knees. They get up and Skipper goes for a crescent kick, but Young ducks and rolls under it, then puts Skipper in a full-nelson hold. Skipper runs to the corner, up the turnbuckles, and flips over the back of Young to break the hold and then executes a bridging dragon suplex for two. Skipper runs to the ropes and connects with a springboard 180-degree spinning leg drop. He starts to set up for the Play of the Day, but Young breaks free from the set up and takes him down with a belly-to-belly suplex, but the pinfall attempt falls short. Young grabs Skipper by the legs and looks to be trying to go for a figure four, but Skipper kicks him away. He gets up and gives Young a spin kick as he comes towards him. Skipper lets Young get up, then lifts him onto his back and gives him Sudden Death. He covers Young for the win and advances to the quarterfinals.
Official Decision: Elix Skipper wins by pinfall
After the match, Skipper takes a microphone and says that he knows that Test is watching this, so he needs to give him a quick message: “You can wrestle me anytime you want to, Test. But, everyone knows that you aren’t ready for Primetime!”
Ed Whalen: Elix Skipper has made an impressive statement, tonight, with his win against Eric Young.
Jeremy Borash: He advances to the quarterfinals and has warned Test that he’s ready for him!
*Commercial Break 2*
VS. 
Lance Cade vs. Biff Wellington
The long-haul, truck driving southern redneck, Trevor Murdoch, joins Ed Whalen and Jeremy Borash to call the action for this match. He comes to the broadcast position with a six-pack in one hand and a large plastic jug in the other. He cracks open a beer and offers some to Whalen and Borash, who both decline. They ask him about the jug. He tells them that it is always important to be prepared when natural calls and, while he doesn’t think it’ll be a long match, he needs to be ready in case it’s a long haul to the next pit stop (i.e. commercial). Murdoch also says that he and Cade are just chomping at the bit to get their hands on the Atlantic Grand Prix North American Tag Team Titles and that you can expect them to become the first team to win those titles as soon as they’re contested. As for the match, it is about what you can expect. Wellington takes the brunt of the beating. He fights back and pulls off a few maneuvers in the middle of the match, but Cade never really loses full control of things and he wins the match after hitting Wellington with a flying elbow drop and a superkick.
Official Decision: Lance Cade wins by pinfall
Ed Whalen: Trevor Murdoch certainly is a colourful character.
Jeremy Borash: That he is, Ed. I think he’d fit in quite nicely in your hometown during the Calgary Stampede.
Ed Whalen: You’re right about that, Jeremy. Both he and his partner, Lance Cade, who pulled off an impressive win in singles competition here tonight, would definitely fit in at the Calgary Stampede.
Jeremy Borash: Maybe you should invite them out to the Stampede in July. What do you think?
Ed Whalen: I’ll pass. I think my wife would kill me.
Jeremy Borash: Well, there’s a lot more still to come on Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN. Junkyard Dog versus Cuban Assasin, Lance Storm versus Dino Bravo, and Bo Dallas versus Cuban Assassin are all still come. But first, let’s go to SoCal Val, who is very busy on her first night on the job. She’s with the Jersey Shore.
SoCal Val is backstage with the Jersey Shore – Robbie E and Robbie T. She tells them about Petey Williams’ challenge and asks them which one of them would like to accept it. Robbie E says that he already has a victory against Petey Williams, so he has nothing more to prove to him in the ring (ignoring the fact that his win was by DQ after faking an ankle injury that he blamed on outside interference). Robbie T says that while he relishes the thought of beating the “Maple Leaf Muscle” into oblivion, he’s too busy to wrestle next week. He and Robbie E are already booked to make a public appearance at an exclusive nightclub and can’t let the owners down.
As if on cue, Chief Morley appears and tells them to cancel the nightclub gig because they’re booked to compete next week in a tag team match against Team Canada. And, he adds, the match will take place inside of a steel cage! He leaves while the Jersey Shore protests his decision. It’ll be the Jersey Shore vs. Team Canada in a Steel Cage – next week on Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN!
*Commercial Break 3*
VS. 
Cuban Assassin vs. Junkyard Dog
The match begins with a tense stare off. Although neither man has a previous history, they meet face to face and stare at each other. They’re both big, powerful, heavy hitters who are adept at brawling, and they’re both trying to catch a glimmer of fear in the other man’s eyes, to no avail. Cuban Assassin tries to strike the first blow, but Junkyard Dog blocks it and connects with a few of his own punches. He headbutts the Assassin, but it doesn’t faze him and gives JYD a bit of a dizzy spell. Cuban Assassin returns the favour, only to find out that he can’t knock JYD off his feet and that using the headbutt will do him as much damage as it will his opponent. Now that they’ve both learned that their extra hard skulls can’t be used to their advantage in this match, we see no more headbutts for the rest of the match (which is highly unusual for both men, as it is a staple of each of their offenses). So their fists, feet and strength will have to do all of the damage in this one. Much of the match is fought in a brawling style with very few wrestling moves to speak of. It really picks up when the match spills out to the floor. They throw each other into the ring steps, ring posts and guardrails. Realizing that neither man is concerned about breaking his 10-count and they both seem content to fight all around ringside and into the crowd, the referee stops the count and lets them brawl. They fight out into the crowd and return to ringside with the Cuban Assassin dumping JYD back over the guardrail. He climbs over it, walks over to the timekeeper’s position and grabs the small bell hammer. He walks over to swing it at JYD, but the referee grabs him by the arm and takes it away from him, warning him that the use of foreign objects will result in a disqualification. Cuban Assassin, who is all caught up in the moment of the brawl, doesn’t care and shoves the referee into the guardrail. He turns around to face JYD, who starts to lay into him with punches and then press slams him down onto the guardrail.
At this moment, a second Cuban Assassin emerges from under the ring and attacks JYD from behind. He knocks him over and then gives him a DDT on the floor. Both Assassins are putting the boots to JYD, when the referee gets up and decides to call the match for the Junkyard Dog by hammering away at the bell himself. The Assassins stop kicking JYD when they hear the frantic ringing of the bell. When they look up, they see that Al Snow and Head have made their way down to ringside and Snow is taking the chair away from the timekeeper. Snow sees both of them coming his way, so he drops the chair and makes a hasty get away, with the Assassins in slow pursuit (they’re following, but they prefer jogging to running).
Official Decision: Junkyard Dog wins by disqualification
Jeremy Borash: I don’t think that’s the way he wanted to win it, but Junkyard Dog advances to the next round of the International Heavyweight Championship tournament, anyhow.
Ed Whalen: We still haven’t learned the identity of the second Cuban Assassin.
Jeremy Borash: Is he even from Cuba?
Ed Whalen: I don’t know and I don’t think anyone else knows either. Hopefully, we’ll find out soon. However, it is no big secret that there are two of them. They look almost identical, but the Cuban Assassin who is always hiding under the ring appears to be considerably younger than the actual Cuban Assassin.
Jeremy Borash: You don’t think that the Cuban Assassin has a son, do you?
Ed Whalen: No, I don’t. I can’t imagine anyone loving someone as wrecklessly dangerous as the Cuban Assassin.
We turn things over to our new backstage reporter, SoCal Val, who is backstage with Maryse Oullet, who is new to Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling. Val asks Maryse what brings her to Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling and she says that she chose to come to Grand Prix to start her managing career. When asked whether she is looking to recruit some wrestlers for clients or has already found some, she opts to keep that a closely guarded secret for the time being. Val asks her when we might find out who she will be managing and Maryse responds that we’ll find out soon enough.
*Commercial Break 4*
w/ 
VS. 
“Marvelous” Marc Mero w/ Candice Michelle vs. Bo Dallas
This match starts out fast right out of the gate. Both men run the ropes and hit each other with plenty of offensive maneuvers, including punches, chops, kicks, and clotheslines. It only finally slows down for a little bit after Mero lifts Dallas into the air for what looks like a flapjack, and has him fall down across the top rope. After that move, Mero assumes the advantage and goes to work on Dallas. However, Dallas eventually fights back. Mero decides to take the match out to the floor, which is a big mistake, as Dallas proves to be a very good brawler around ringside, countering a whip attempt and sending Mero crashing into the guardrail, as well as slamming Mero’s face into the ring steps, among other things. Dallas takes the match back to the inside of the ring, where he continues to throw everything he has at Mero. He can’t put Mero away, but he gets closer with every move he tries. Dallas decides to go for the running springboard bulldog, but after the springboard, Mero breaks free of the headlock. Dallas gets back to his feet quickly and comes at Mero, who drops to his side and takes Dallas down with a Samoan drop. Mero goes to the top rope and tries for a Merosault, but misses. Both men get up and Dallas gives him a side belly-to-belly suplex. He pins, but there is no count, as the referee is distracted by Candice Michelle. Dallas gets up to see what is going on. He walks over to confront her. She dares him to try to remove her from the ring apron. They’re in a war of words and Dallas won’t touch her, so Candice Michelle tries to provoke him even more by slapping his face. He raises his fist for a moment, but stops, as he won’t hit a woman. Mero crawls over and catches him with a low blow from behind. The referee gives Mero a stern warning, but he pays no attention to him. He picks up Dallas, executes the TKO, and then covers for the pin. The referee reluctantly counts the fall to three.
Official Decision: “Marvelous” Marc Mero wins by pinfall
Jeremy Borash: It’s little wonder why Marc Mero recently started to have his ‘personal trainer’ accompany him to ringside. She’s giving him an extra advantage and has helped him to steal a victory from young Bo Dallas.
Ed Whalen: Dallas still has a few things to learn, including how to avoid putting himself into situations where the manager or personal trainer of his opponent can cause him to lose the match.
Jeremy Borash: You’re right, Ed. Those instincts and smarts will only come with more time and experience. Unfortunately for him, that lack of experience played into the hands of “Marvelous” Marc Mero, who will continue to the quarterfinals of the International Heavyweight Championship title tournament.

*Commercial Break 5*
“No Class” Bobby Bass comes to the ring and grabs the microphone. He’s upset that he’s been left off of the show for three weeks in a row and that management isn’t giving him the air time that a superstar of his stature deserves. He understands that no one wants to face him in the ring because he’s tough as nails and everyone fears him, but he refuses to leave the ring until he’s beaten the snot out of someone. So the only way to get on with the show is for Chief Morley to send some poor schmuck out from the back to get slaughtered at the hands of the great Bobby Bass!
Kaientai come out to a warm reception from the fans. They have a microphone. TAKA – who does all of the talking and says that they’ve been sent out by Chief Morley to grant him his wish for a match, but to deny him his wish of harming someone by karate chopping him into oblivion. He says that his partner, the great Kung Funaki will see to it that Bobby Bass has the worst night of his life. Then, he hands the mic over to Funaki, who says, “Indeed!”
VS. 
Kung Fu Naki vs. “No Class” Bobby Bass
Funaki rushes to the ring and Bass attacks right away. He sends Funaki into far ropes and tries to give him a back bodydrop, but Funaki lands on his feet. Bass turns around and gets hit with a nice dropkick. Bass gets up and Funaki turns his chest red with chops. Funaki whips Bass, then takes him over with a huricanrana. Bass gets up and Funaki runs at him and hits a leaping tornado DDT! Funaki climbs the turnbuckle and waits for Bass to get to his feet. He leaps off and hits him with a diving crossbody block straight into a pin. Bass kicks out at two. Then, Funaki sets up in the crane position and waits for Bass to get to his feet and then drops him with a stiff crane kick! He covers Bass for the 3-count and the win!
Official Decision: Kung Fu Naki wins by pinfall
Ed Whalen: Bobby Bass wanted a fight and he got one!
Jeremy Borash: I don’t think he was expecting that he might have to face a master of the martial arts, in Kung Fu Naki!
Ed Whalen: An impressive win by one half of Kaientai. Maybe Funaki’s win signals the beginning of a new winning streak for these great Japanese athletes.
*Commercial Break 6*
w/ VS. 
Dino Bravo w/ Frenchy Martin vs. Lance Storm
Dino Bravo challenges Lance Storm to a test of strength. Storm knows that he can’t match the sheer power of Bravo, so he refuses and goes to lock up, but Bravo sidesteps him and then flexes to show off his impressive physique. Bravo challenges him to another test of strength. Storm won’t bite. He tries to get into another grapple, but Bravo backs away into the ropes, forcing Storm to back off. Storm doesn’t appear to be getting frustrated, but Bravo’s head games are getting him a bit antsy to get things under way. The stalling and head games continue for a little while longer before Storm finally agrees to a test of strength, but catches Bravo off-guard with a leaping back heel kick to the face, knocking him off of his feet! Bravo gets up and Storm is all over him with lefts and rights. Storm goes for a whip, but Bravo reverses it. However, Storm takes him down with a springboard crossbody block. Bravo tosses him off at a pinfall count of one, then rolls out of the ring to try to break his momentum. However, Storm takes him down with a running, no-handed over the top rope suicide dive! Storm gets up and takes an axehandle smash to the back from Frency Martin. He quickly turns around and starts stalking him as Martin backs away and pleads for him not to do anything, thus giving Bravo the change to shove Storm into the turnbuckle post. Bravo puts the boots to him, then picks him up and slams his back into the turnbuckle post, before dropping him and rolling into the ring. The referee begins to count Storm out and we go to our final commercial break.
*Commercial Break 7*
The match continues with Bravo in control and dictating the pace. He’s going at things slowly and deliberately. Bravo continues to work on Storm’s back with targeted strikes and power moves, but none of his pinfall attempts reach the count of three, so he decides to wear Storm down further with a bearhug. Storm is being shaken like a rag doll. He eventually looks lifeless. The referee raises his hand and it drops twice, but on the third attempt, Storm keeps it up. He raises his other one and gets Bravo to break the hold with a pair of axehandle smashes to his forehead. Storm takes Bravo off of his feet with a drop toehold and applies the Canadian Maple Leaf single-leg crab, but Bravo quickly makes it to the ropes. Bravo gets to his feet and Storm lays into him with some chops. He gets Bravo into the corner, but he kicks Storm, then changes places with him and kicks him until he’s on the mat. Bravo picks up Storm and sits him on the top turnbuckle. He climbs the turnbuckle, but gets shoved to the mat. Storm gets to his feet and flies from the corner, connecting with a missile dropkick. He tries for the pinfall, but only gets a 2-count. Storm brings Bravo to his feet. He’s going to go for a northern lights suplex, but Bravo blocks with some forearm smashes to Storm’s back. Then, Bravo places him on his shoulders and begins an airplane spin, but Storm gets down before Bravo can complete his first revolution, and he goes for a superkick, but Bravo sidesteps it and Storm’s kick nails the referee! Bravo goes for a running clothesline, but Storm ducks it and connects with his next superkick attempt, but with the referee down, he can’t win. Storm checks on the referee. Frenchy Martin comes into the ring and sneaks up on Storm. He gets ready to swing his flag stick at him, but Storm looks up just in time to see it and catch the attempt. He pulls the flag stick out of Martin’s hands and gets ready to hit him with it, but has it pulled out of his hands from behind by Sylvain Grenier.
Storm turns around and Grenier swings the flag stick at him, but Storm ducks and then hits him with a superkick. However, after that, he takes a chairshot to the face from René Duprée! Duprée drops the chair and clears out from the ring as he sees Leo Burke running down to the ring. Burke chases him off into the crowd, while Grenier disappears and Martin clears the ring of the weapons. Bravo wakes the referee and pins Storm for the 3-count to advance to the quarterfinal round of the International Heavyweight Championship tournament.
Official Decision: Dino Bravo wins by pinfall
Ed Whalen: Lance Storm was robbed of the victory! René Dupré and Sylvain Grenier will have a lot to answer for what they’ve done here, tonight!
Jeremy Borash: It was an unfair end to the match, to be sure. It took four men to defeat Lance Storm. In any case, we’ve now established who the 8 quarterfinals for the International Heavyweight Championship are: “The Iceman” Dean Malenko, Chris Candido, Leo Burke, Elix Skipper, Mad Dog Vachon, Junkyard Dog, “Marvelous” Marc Mero, and Dino Bravo. They will all compete in the four quarterfinal matches, which will all take place next week on Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN.
Ed Whalen: And don’t forget that we will also see Team Canada’s Petey Williams and Eric Young battle the Jersey Shore in a steel cage, as well. Fans, don’t forget to tune in next week, as it’s going to be a great show. However, in the meantime and in-between time, this is Ed Whalen with Jeremy Borash, wishing you a wonderful week and thanks for watching Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ASN!
