It’s time to rock ‘n roll! The beginning of this week’s Dynamite Saturday Night gets hijacked by the woman with the keys to the city. “Top Shelf” Trish Stratus is here and she’s got BCCW championship gold on her.

Trish cuts a promo, where she drops a bombshell – previously announced on BCCW TV – on AGPW television: the next BCCW pay-per-view extravaganza, New Year’s Revolution, will be taking place right here in Moncton, New Brunswick! After plugging a rival company’s product (a company for whom she is under contract), she goes on to address the BCCW Women’s Champion, Mildred Burke. However, Trish doesn’t acknowledge her as the champion. Instead, she labels Burke as a ‘championship contender.’ After a few scathing put downs directed towards Burke, she gets around to telling Burke that if she wants to try to regain the Women’s Championship that she supposedly lost BCCW’s Great Expectations, she’ll have to try to do it on Canadian soil because Trish is never bringing back to the United States. Trish Stratus will be here in Moncton for BCCW’s New Year’s Revolution, where she promises that the Revolution will begin on the “Top Shelf,” and she invites Mildred Burke to come along for the ride.

AGPW Commissioner Billy Two Rivers finally arrives on the scene to put a stop to Trish’s promo. He doesn’t want any more of tonight’s live broadcast being used to try to cultivate more buys for a rival company’s pay-per-view. Two Rivers has some security personnel with him. He brings them to remove Trish from the premises. However, Trish protests that she was given this time by The Network. The comment takes Two Rivers by surprise, but pushes forward with Trish’s ejection. Trish decides to leave of her own accord.

“Classy” Freddie Blassie and “Superstar” Billy Graham are backstage with Jeremy Borash to address comments made by the Montréal Mafia at the end of last week’s Dynamite Saturday Night. Borash asks them if they believe that the warning made to a group of wrestlers that don’t belong in this territory was directed at Californiacation. Blassie says that he doesn’t like making assumptions, but if it smells like a skunk, looks like a skunk and acts like a skunk, well you get the point. Blassie states that it is already clear to him that Californiacation has put everyone else in AGPW on edge – and they all ought to be because it is here to turn AGPW on its head and the man who will do more than anything to accomplish the group’s goal is the man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour – “Superstar” Billy Graham. Graham says that the “Macho Man” Randy Savage learned firsthand that Graham floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee and he recognizes that the International Heavyweight Champion is understandably worried that he, too, will soon have to learn this lesson. That’s right, he’ll have to learn that lesson because it is inevitable that AGPW’s one and only “Superstar” will soon be in line for a shot at the International Heavyweight Championship.

*Commercial Break 1*

We come back to the show with a classic ‘captured on video just moments ago’ moment. As Trish Stratus is shown to the backstage arena exits by arena security, Gail Kim jumps her from behind. She throws Trish into a wall, then gives her Eat Defeat before sitting down on her and getting a few more shots in on her before security can break it up.

VS.

Bo Dallas vs. Manik

A good high-energy, fast-paced match to kick start tonight’s card. Manik is a talented cruiserweight who can do incredible things using the ropes. Dallas is a young third generation superstar who is embarking on a new singles career in AGPW after spending the bulk of his first 8 months in the company as the tag team partner of the legendary Junkyard Dog. Dallas starts out well, but Manik comes back and gets Dallas all flustered during the middle portion of the match. Dallas gets taken out of his comfort zone as Manik takes to the air. He goes airborne often and works quickly. Even when Dallas tries to create some separation by leaving the ring, Manik takes him out with a suicide sommersault suicide dive and then keeps him grounded with an Asai moonsault. Manik looks to put Dallas away but can’t seal the deal as Dallas shows the heart not to give up. He tries to rally the fans to his side while making the big late-match babyface comeback, but the fans aren’t buying it. Regardless, he makes good on his comeback, caping off his rally with a spear, diving clothesline from the top turnbuckle and a belly-to-belly suplex to pick up the win.

Official Decision: Bo Dallas wins by pinfall

Yoshihiro Tajiri is getting a pep talk regarding his upcoming match on this week’s edition of AGPW’s Extra Explosives (available only online courtesy of AGPW) from Frenchy Martin when his phone rings. Using hand gestures, he asks Martin to pause and proves that he is adapting well to Canadian life by saying, ”Sorry! Sorry!” He answers the phone and listens while nodding his head several times. Finally, he says that he doesn’t understand and hangs up the phone. Martin asks him who it was and Tajiri simply says, “MSD. I don’t know MSD. I hang up.” Martin seems puzzled but then goes back to his pep talk. Tajiri will face Chavo Guerrero on AGPW’s Extra Explosives!

*Commercial Break 2*

VS.

Cuban Assassins vs. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch

A down and dirty, rough and tumble all-out brawl takes place in this one, with a lot of the match taking place outside of the ring. The referee gives up on trying to keep track of the legal man and allows fighting to take place in and around ringside, as well as in the first couple of rows of seats, provided that someone enters the ring before he counts to ten. The referee ends up resetting his count several times during the course of the extended brawl. However, no one can win the match on the outside, and after Cuban Assassin Sr. brings Trevor Murdoch back into the ring to try to finish him off, the opposite actually occurs. With Cuban Assassin Jr. and Lance Cade beating the living hell out of each other in the crowd, CASR tries to win the match for his team, but Murdoch gets a shoulder up on the pinfall attempt. CASR sets up for a piledriver to finish, but Murdoch counters with a back body drop. After taking CASR down with a lariat, he gives him the Ace of Spades to collect the victory for his team.

Official Decision: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch win by pinfall

Another week and another disagreement between AGPW Commissioner Billy Two Rivers and The Network’s Representative Cyrus. This time, Two Rivers is angry over the revelation that The Network allowed BCCW wrestler, Trish Stratus, to hijack the opening segment of tonight’s AGPW telecast. Cyrus tells him that although Trish may not be an AGPW talent, she brings in ratings and her appearance on tonight’s show lit up social media and spiked the opening quarter to levels he hasn’t yet seen. Two Rivers doesn’t want wrestlers who are not under contract to AGPW to be stealing valuable airtime away from his talent. Cyrus, of course, doesn’t mind bumping the likes of Eric Young and Al Snow to get “Top Shelf” talent on the air, no matter who they work for.

*Commercial Break 3*

VS.

Tyson Kidd vs. The Mountie

Right in the middle of the show, we get the debut of The Mountie. He’s taking on Tyson Kidd, an ally of the he “arrested” (Lance Storm), a few weeks ago. Kidd has something prove as he’s intent on gaining a measure of retribution against one of the men he has accused of kidnapping his friend. He starts out strong in this match, using his speed and knowledge of the flying game to keep The Mountie a few steps behind from the very opening of the match. However, The Mountie eventually counters a tilt-a-whirl headscissors attempt into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. From there, The Mountie gives Kidd a few high-impact power moves and makes two unsuccessful pinfall attempts before transitioning into a slower mat-based attack. He’s in complete control for about two minutes, before Kidd pulls off a counter to the figure four leglock, which The Mountie breaks by getting to the ropes. Kidd begins a pointed attack with holds to wear down The Mountie’s knees. However, as he attempts to go for the Sharpshooter, he gets booted away. When he tries to attack again, The Mountie catches his cross body block attempt and counters with a backbreaker. He doesn’t drop Kidd, though. Instead, he lifts him up onto his shoulder and gives him a shoulderbreaker and then pins. Kidd kicks out. The Mountie whips him and goes for his beautiful dopkick, but Kidd clings to the ropes, then performs a springboard hurricanrana. Kidd goes up top and attempts Code Blue, but The Mountie moves out of the way. When Kidd gets up, The Mountie grabs him from behind and applies his Carotid Control Technique nerve hold. Kidd struggles with the hold for a moment, but cannot break it and submits.

Official Decision: The Mountie wins by submission

The Mountie keeps the hold locked in until he gets Kidd down on his front side and pulls some handcuffs out of his pocket. As he tries to get Kidd’s arms behind his back, The Mountie gets attacked by Rowdy Roddy Piper. However, he’s soon faced with a three-on-one situation, as Suicide and Manik arrive to free up The Mountie. They remove Piper from the ring, but he starts to fight back and holds his own in a two-on-one situation. However, The Mountie returns to trying to handcuff Kidd’s arms behind his back until...

Owen Hart puts a stop to it! The 2-time Slammy Award winning King of Harts takes out The Mountie with a solid attack, ending with an enzigurri kick and the Sharpshooter! Once the ring fills with AGPW officials, he collects the last graduate of the Hart family Dungeon and leaves to an ovation. They’re joined by Piper, who took out both Suicide and Manik all on his own.

*Commercial Break 4*

Christian Cage is here! He comes to the ring and grabs a microphone. He begins by discussing his failed bid to win the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Championship a few weeks ago and how he disappointed that he didn’t win the title to bring is home to all of his Canadian peeps. And while he says that he won’t make excuses, he feels it is necessary to point out that Hollywood Hulk Hogan only escaped his 2-month foray into the Great White North by the skin of his teeth and with an ample amount of help from his patsy soldiers of the Illuminati. Most notably, he received a big helping hand from Frankie Kazarian, who is now squarely in Christian’s crosshairs. Christian’s promo ends with him challenging Kazarian to a match next week.

Out to answer the challenge are the Saints of SoCal, the Kings of California, the Bad Influence of the Illuminati and Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling! Kazarian and Christopher Daniels come to the ring, where Daniels talks up how amazing his tag team partner is and derides Christian for being so idiotic as to want to challenge him to a match. He hands the microphone over to Kazarian, who tells us that the only reason Christian challenged him to a singles match is because he is such a pathetic excuse of a human being that he has no friends, so he couldn’t find anyone willing to partner up with him to challenge the best tag team in professional wrestling to a match. Kazarian says that he and Daniels are a group package. If you want to face one of them, you have to face the both of them. They would gladly accept a tag team match with Christian, that is, if he could actually find himself a partner.

It looks like Christian just found himself a partner. “Macho Man” Randy Savage appears at the DSN entrance set with a microphone in hand and says that he will gladly team with Christian Cage to face a mutual enemy in Bad Influence. He accepts Kazarian and Daniels’ challenge. Kazarian and Daniels start spinning their wheels looking for a way to back out of the challenge they just made, but they can’t seem to talk their way out of it. After stunnering and struggling for a few moments to find an out, Captain Charisma has heard enough and decides to give them a taste of what’s in store for them next week, when he attacks Kazarian. Daniels tries to aid him partner, but the Macho Man rushes to the ring to come to the aid of The Instance Classic. The short beatdown culminates with Kazarian receiving the Unprettier and Daniels taking a flying elbow drop as both Christian and Savage get a measure of payback against each of the men who interfered in their matches at MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL, three weeks ago.

Next week on Dynamite Saturday Night, Bad Influence will face Christian Cage and “Macho Man” Randy Savage! Don’t miss it!

*Commercial Break 5*

Jeremy Borash catches up with the “King of Harts” Owen Hart in the backstage area. Borash asks Hart what he is doing here in AGPW. Hart tells Borash that he has come to AGPW to help defend the honour of his Calgary brethren. He’s been watching AGPW for some time now and has noticed that this mysterious Blue Blazer has targeted his fellow Calgarians for committing “theft.” He says that he’s not sure what the crazy masked man is referring to, but he’s going to put a stop to it. Owen Hart is here to defend the pride and honour of his city of Calgary. He’s already prevented The Mountie from kidnapping the last graduate of the Hart Dungeon, Tyson Kidd, and says that his next task is to free Lance Storm from his captors.

VS.

Fabulous Moolah vs. Mighty Molly

Moolah starts this match off with a fake show of respect. She extents a hand to be shaken, but when our Mighty superhero goes in, Moolah pulls her in for a head rattling clothesline. Moolah continues her vicious attack with little getting in her way, except for the official who tries to get in between both of them from time to time. Moolah is large and in charge, but fails with a backslide pin attempt that Molly reverses into one of her. After that, Molly hits Moolah with a dropkick and builds further momentum with a whip to the corner and a monkey flip. Molly is coming back strong, just as a true superhero would. However, when she goes for the Molly-go-round, Moolah dives out of the way to avoid it. When they get back up, Moolah retakes the advantage with three consecutive Moolah Whips. She follows that up by a jumping snapmare and spinal tap kick. Then, she pulls Molly up by her hair and gives her not one, but two backbreakers before pinning her for the win.

Post-match, Moolah gets a microphone to deliver a message to Trish Stratus – there’s only one woman worthy of being a champion in AGPW and she’s the one who is talking in the ring, right now! Then, she accuses Stratus of being a poser champion parading around with a title that does not belong to her, but that belongs to her childhood idol, Mildred Burke! Moolah may be a heel herself, but she is fiercely loyal to the woman who inspired her to become a professional wrestler, herself. Moolah promises Stratus that the next time she shows her face in AGPW, Moolah will rip the title out of her hands and deliver it back to its rightful owner.

Official Decision: Fabulous Moolah wins by pinfall

*Commercial Break 6*

w/ VS.

Mad Dog Vachon w/ Frenchy Martin vs. Al Snow

This match has something of an old school brawl feel to it. Vachon and Snow are both tough as nails and can really take a beating. They brawl inside and outside of the ring. Snow looks to put away one half of the North American Tag Team Champions a few times, but Vachon kicks out of each of his pinfall attempts. Snow makes one ciritical mistake by taking to the air. He goes for a flying clothesline, but Vachon side steps it and Snow falls to the canvas. When he gets up, he’s immediately hit by a stiff running clothesline and then pulled in for the piledriver, which Vachon executes to perfection. Snow is out cold for pinfall. Vachon wins in a rare appearance in singles competition.

Official Decision: Mad Dog Vachon wins by pinfall

The Mountie finds the Blue Blazer in the backstage area. He’s upset that the Blue Blazer was nowhere to be seen when he was attacked by Owen Hart and wants to know where he was and why didn’t come to his aid. The Blue Blazer apologizes to The Mountie for not being able to save him from the attack and reprimands him for failing to arrest Tyson Kidd. He demands better results next week. The Mountie says that justice cannot properly be served when he’s attacked by an unlawful bandit and tells him that he needs better backup next week. The Blue Blazer tells him that they won’t fail next week because he’ll personally see to it that the latest fugitive in AGPW, Owen Hart, won’t be able to stop them from making an arrest next week.

*Commercial Break 7*

VS.

Submission Match
“The Iceman” Dean Malenko vs. Leo Burke

The bulk of Leo Burke and Dean Malenko’s time spent in AGPW, this year, has been intertwined. They’ve already faced each other in singles competition a few times and faced each other in two multi-opponent championship singles bouts. They’ve also been partners at various times in 2013, as they had mutual enemies on a couple of different occasions. In all of their times facing each other, neither man has ever truly come out on top. Neither man has pinned or forced the other to submit. With that in mind, this match ought to determine which man is the better wrestler, once and for all.

The match is a good, long battle between two opponents who are evenly matched. Our broadcast runs long as Burke and Malenko put on a great chain wrestling clinic. They match each other move for move for a good long while and trade advantages with various submission holds. This bout features catch wrestling skills and nothing else for the first 10-minutes of the contest. Things pick up and change gears when Burke gets out of a single leg Boston crab by getting to the ropes. When he gets to his feet, Malenko takes him out to the ring apron with a spinning heel kick. With both men on the ring apron, Malenko goes to pick up Burke, but takes a few shots to the abdomen. Burke tries to lift Burke with a suplex, but he clings to the ropes, gives Burke a few shots to the ribs, then executes a nasty looking DDT on the ring apron! After shoving Burke into the guardrail and turning his chest beet red with a series of knife-edge chops, Malenko brings Burke back into the ring and puts him in an inverted Mexican surfboard! Burke refuses to quit and Malenko eventually has to drop him. He goes for the Texas cloverleaf, but Burke quickly makes it to the ropes. Burke gets up and Malenko makes the mistake of going for the spinning heel kick again. Burke catches him and then tosses him over his head and out to the floor! Burke waits for Malenko to get up, then takes him down with a suicide dive through the ropes, which sends Malenko crashing into the guardrail. Burke gets him and gives him a snap suplex on the floor. He takes Malenko into the ring and applies a figure four leglock. Malenko refuses to quit. He’s in the hold for a good long while before managing a reversal. However, Burke is quick to roll with him to flip him right back on his back. On Malenko’s second reversal attempt, he succeeds to turn it around on Burke. He tries to crawl to the ropes, but Malenko stops him and drags him back away from the ropes. Burke is in a bad way, but eventually flips the move back over. At this point, Malenko is close to the ropes and gets his hands on the bottom rope rather quickly, forcing a break. Both men get up and they each have a noticeable limp. They get into an all-out chop fest. Malenko knocks Burke over with his chops. Burke gets up quickly and retaliates with a flurry of chops that knock Malenko down. He gets up and responds with several more. They both get knocked down a few more times and the crowd is really getting lively now. The chop war ends the fourth time that Burke hits the mat. Malenko grabs him and tries to give him the Texas cloverleaf, but Burke flights him off with some fists to the head. Burke gets up and sees Malenko charging at him. He steps forward and drops him with a hard clothesline. When Malenko gets back up, Burke gives him a leg draw. He follows that up with another and another. Burke gets Malenko in his own finisher, the Texas cloverleaf! Malenko drags himself towards the ropes, just as they get within reach, Burke pulls him back to the middle of the ring. After that, Malenko taps out immediately. Leo Burke wins!

Official Decision: Leo Burke wins by submission

While Leo Burke is celebrating his victory, Dean Malenko leaves the ring, takes the chair from the timekeeper, enters the ring and hits Burke in the back with it. He hits Burke a few times with it, then drags him out of the ring. He starts clearing off the English play-by-play table, then shoves Burke aside as he’s bothered by a comment that Ed Whalen made. He starts getting into it with Whalen, when Lord Alfred Hayes gets up to defend his commentary partner. He tells Malenko to back off and then Malenko sucker punches him. Malenko gives him some more, when Jacques Rougeau gets up from the French play-by-play table to come to his aid. Rougeau successfully tosses Malenko aside. However, when he checks on Hayes, he gets hit in back by a monitor! Then, Malenko grabs Rougeau and puts him through the play-by-play with a gutwrench powerbomb! “The Iceman” has snapped! We end our show with a chaotic scene, where security personnel are trying to break up a fight between Malenko and Burke and paramedics who come down to ringside to check on Rougeau and Hayes.

VS.

Allison Danger vs. Taylor Wilde

Our hot show opener is a classic battle between the forces of power and speed. These forces clash and explode in a highly entertaining bout. On this occasion, speed takes the day. Taylor Wilde wins with the Wilde Ride after a hard fought match where both women gave as good as they got.

Official Decision: Taylor Wilde wins by pinfall

w/ VS. w/

“Marvelous” Marc Mero w/ Candice Michelle vs. Rosey w/ Mighty Molly

Rosey easily flusters Mero. His mix of size, power, and decent speed give the “Marvelous” one a hard time, but thanks to a distraction by Candice Michelle, Mero lands a low blow on Rosey from behind, and then kicks him the junk to add insult to injury. After grounding his opponent, he goes to the air and hits the Marvelousity to get the win.

Official Decision: “Marvelous” Marc Mero wins by pinfall

VS.

“Killer” Karl Krupp & “The Acadian Giant” Kurrgan vs. The Killer Bees

The Killer Bees put on a valiant effort and use their speed to their advantage early on, but as soon as the much larger monsters are able to stop the attack, the match becomes a steady stream of power moves from Krupp and Kurrgan, who secure the win by submission when both men apply their respective claw submission holds on the Bees.

Official Decision: “Killer” Karl Krupp & “The Acadian Giant” Kurrgan win by submission

***

w/ VS.

Yoshihiro Tajiri w/ Frenchy Martin vs. Chavo Guerrero

Our main event is an excellent 10-minute cruiserweight classic pitting the Japanese Buzzsaw and wild card insurance policy of the Montréal Mafia versus a member of one of the most successful families in the history of this fine sport. The match features each hitting their signature moves. However, when Chavo tries to go for the Gory Bomb, Tajiri breaks free from the set up and knocks Chavo out with a brainbuster! From there, he waits for Chavo to come around and puts him on ice with his Buzzsaw Kick for the win.

Official Decision: Yoshihiro Tajiri wins by pinfall

[fifthhorseman]

Very nice card - looking forward to the big tag-team match. And Burke-Malenko would have been a good match (though I'm sure Burke benefits a little from the hometown advantage here

[somethingsavage]

Big time turning point for Deano at the close of the show there. Enjoyed the angle, although it felt kind of like an "out of nowhere" decision. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Hopefully there's been some forethought put into it, because I REALLY found myself liking the way ya launched it here today. I'd like to see it followed up strongly in future weeks, for sure. I'm a sucker for chaotic scenes like that, and Malenko already carries this Jason Statham type aura around. Placing a bit, heavy chip on his shoulder could be JUST the thing he needs to get across that vibe with an icy stare and cold, intense promos.

Usual goodness in all the right places everywhere else, I'd say. Not much to add, other than I'm still marking for the camp & cheese of Bo Dallas - as well as all the Californication Connection stuff by way of Blassie. I'd mark to see him channel some of the old "vampire" act and go all ghoulish at some point - maybe @ a supercard - just randomly gouging someone behind the ref's back at ringside and getting involved in a more hands-on fashion. Just saying. =D

[Slade]

I'm glad you enjoyed the angle with Malenko. As noted in my reply to your comments for the January 11th edition of DSN, I plan on continuing to showcase Malenko as a top of the card talent, regardless of whether his name seems out of place alongside of the likes of Christian, Savage, Graham or even Piper. My hope is that others will believe that fits in with that group, at least in my fantasy world and based upon my presentation of him and his character. There was some forethought put into my decision to have him snap. Hopefully, you will find that I do not fail in my presentation of the character as Malenko's edgier, colder "Iceman" character emerges.
