The Montréal Mafia come to the ring to hijack the opening segment of tonight’s show. They are here to cut a promo asserting their dominance in Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling, despite the recent loss of the North American Tag Team Championship Titles by Dino Bravo & Mad Dog Vachon. Yvon “Le Lion” Robert goes one step further, to remind us all that he remains the king of this jungle. He notes that he conquered his toughest challenge to date, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and prompts a replay of his show ending powerbomb of “Macho Man” Randy Savage onto “Superstar” Billy Graham through the English play-by-play table at the conclusion of our last broadcast. He states, emphatically, that there isn’t a single challenger to his throne powerful enough to put him out to pasture. Mad Dog Vachon also gets some time to talk. He says that the only reason he and Dino Bravo lost the tag titles was because they were unprepared for the challenge that was made on the spot. He goes on to say that, were the tables turned, the Mafia would have won that match. With that in mind, Dino Bravo says that he has a wonderful idea – they should exercise their rematch clause right here, right now!

Here comes Californiacation to instantly increase the amount of tension in the arena. “Classy” Freddie Blassie, Christopher Daniels, Frank Kazarian and “Superstar” Billy Graham all take their turns weaving together a story about how the Californiacation of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling is in full swing and that the damage that has been done to the Montréal Mafia is now irreversible. Graham talks about how the cowardly lion is putting on a good show, wearing his ‘brave face,’ but like the venerable mountain lion, his innate ability to sense fear sees right through the champion. It’s why Robert fixed the number one contender’s match. He fears the man of the hour, the tower of power, the man who is too sweet to be sour! To prove it, he throws out the challenge for a shot at his title, right here, right now! Of course, the Mafia turn it down. Moving on, Bad Influence says that unlike the Mafia, they welcome the rematch challenge and they agree to hold the match right here, right now – under one condition! Robert must defend his title against Graham in the main event. Martin and Robert immediately balk, but Bravo & Vachon agree. Has Californiacation opened a crack in the Mafia’s foundation?

Here comes Commissioner Billy Two Rivers to put an end to this. He has a show that needs to get started. Fortunately, he didn’t book the entire thing before start time and he has enough time to announce the following matches: 1) stating that he can’t just grant Graham a title match after losing a number one contender’s match in his most recent bout (it would set a bad precident), he will give him a match against another member of the Mafia – it will be “Superstar” Billy Graham versus Yoshihiro Tajiri, right now; and 2) the rematch for the tag team titles between Bad Influence and Dino Bravo & Mad Dog Vachon will take place later tonight and it will be Falls Count Anywhere! However, there will be an added stipulation – all members of Californiacation and the Montréal Mafia, including managers, are banned from ringside (and if any of them interfere, they will be fired)!

*Commercial Break 1*

w/ VS. w/

Yoshihiro Tajiri w/ Frenchy Martin vs. “Superstar” Billy Graham w/ “Classy” Freddie Blassie

This is the kind of professional wrestling dream match that you can only find in the Mash-Up Wrestling Universe – and more specifically, only here at Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling! It’s the Japanese Buzzsaw versus the Tower of Power! Tajiri, while he may not wrestle in too many high profile matchups, is more than a handful. While both men may be heels, there is an undercurrent of fan support for Tajiri, here. Graham is the coolest heel on the planet, which makes him imminently likeable. However, Tajiri is also imminently likeable and the Canadian fans, who are known to appreciate workrate, favour the man who can give it to them (and who also doesn’t hurl insults towards them when he’s in control of the match). The match goes back and forth. Tajiri locks Graham in the tarantula to a giant pop. Graham also takes a buzzsaw kick to the side of the head, which nearly scores Tajiri the victory. Graham regains control of the match with the help of Blassie, after barely surviving Tajiri’s vicious kicks. This causes a dustup at ringside between Martin and Blassie that has to be broken up by extra AGPW officials. Graham rolls on towards victory with a series of power moves before finally applying his dreaded bearhug. However, Tajiri won’t give him the satisfaction of a submission win as he sprays mist into Graham’s face. The referee calls for the bell. Meanwhile, Tajiri keeps kicking Graham while he’s down on his knees and then sizes him up for another big Buzzsaw kick, but bails from the ring as Bad Influence rush down to make the save. Graham is the winner, but is worse for wear, much to the surprise and pleasure of many in the audience.

Official Decision: “Superstar” Billy Graham wins by disqualification

*Commercial Break 2*

VS.

6-Man Tag Team Match
Owen Hart, Lance Storm & Tyson Kidd vs. Marc Mero w/ Candice Michelle, Chris Hero & Bo Dallas

This is the first match for both Lance Storm and Tyson Kidd since they were imprisoned – both accused of being thieves – by The Mountie and the vigilant Blue Blazer. Here, they are with their saviour, fellow Calgarian, Owen Hart. Their opponents are a randomly thrown together team in Marc Mero, Chris Hero and Bo Dallas. Consequently, the trio of Calgarians work better together as a team, each of them being more familiar with each other than their opponents are with each other. Still, Mero, Hero and Dallas are a formidable side and they match up well against the ‘Stampeders,’ as they are coined by fellow Calgarian Ed Whalen. Dallas doesn’t seem to fit in well with Mero and Hero, as he spends most of the match on the ring apron, anxious to tag in. Mero and Hero ignore him when they have the advantage and act as a pair. Dallas, ever the cheerful character doesn’t get angry or upset, but continues to wait for his chance to help. Even after Mero loses the advantage and the Calgarians take control, Mero’s desperation tag is made to Hero. As he tries to fight off his opponents, Dallas makes a blind tag and comes in to help Hero, as the ring fills up. Dallas goes on a big roll and takes care of Hart and Storm on his own. Meanwhile Hero is pinning Kidd, after giving him a Hangman’s Elbow. The referee doesn’t count it and Hero confronts him only to be told about the blind tag. Hero confronts Dallas and shoves him. Dallas doesn’t fight back and tries to reason with him. Hero won’t hear any of it and goes for a Hangman’s Elbow, but Dallas ducks it. Then, Hero receives a superkick from Storm! Dallas doesn’t fare much better, as the distraction causes him to receive a bridging German suplex from Hart. The surprise suplex is enough to get the three count just before Dallas can kick out.

Official Decision: Owen Hart, Lance Storm & Tyson Kidd win by pinfall

SoCal Val is standing by with “The Iceman” Dean Malenko to ask how it feels to no longer be suspended. Malenko tells her that it feels good, especially since, according to him, he shouldn’t have been suspended in the first place. She then asks him what he plans on doing next. Malenko tells her that he has just one plan, the same one he’s had since October 26, 2013, the day he was “cheated out” his title. He plans to regain the International Heavyweight Championship and each and every person who gets in his way will get struck down, just like Christian Cage was last week. “Superstar” Billy Graham, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Leo Burke – he’ll take on anyone on his march back up to the top of the mountain.

*Commercial Break 3*

Jeremy Borash is standing by with Christian Cage to ask him about his upcoming match, taking place next week, against the Mash-Up Universe’s one and only Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, The Mountie. “Captain Charisma” isn’t really interested in talking about The Mountie – a man who he says is too much of a joke to deserve to wear the RCMP uniform. That cattle prod carrying clown will be defeated with great ease. No, Cage, wants to talk about his last opponent, Dean Malenko. Cage says that the match was on the verge of becoming an Instant Classic before Malenko took advantage of a knocked out referee to win the match. Malenko likes to think that he’ll go straight to the top, but Cage intends to block his path to the International Heavyweight Championship. He’s confident that he can do it because, were the referee not knocked out, he would have seen Cage crawl over to the ropes and put his hands on them. If given the chance, Captain Charisma promises to bring Malenko back to reality because that’s how he rolls!

w/ VS. w/

“Macho Man” Randy Savage w/ Miss Elizabeth vs. “The Acadian Giant” w/ “Killer” Karl Krupp

“Macho Man” Randy Savage is an angry man possessed by a long held desire to get a measure of revenge against “Superstar” Billy Graham and Californiacation, AGPW’s Illuminati affiliated faction. He uses this fiery passion to his advantage in this match against a much, much larger foe. “The Acadian Giant” is the kind of monster that you don’t want to look in the eye. However, he is frustrated and his intimidating size, power and strength advantages are rendered impotent in the early moments of this match. Kurrgan gets a mid-match comeback in which he threatens to annihilate Savage with his power. Savage takes a large beating, but finds another gear, mounts the comeback, delivering a multitude of diving double axehandle smashes to both Kurrgan and the equally intimidating, “Killer” Karl Krupp, on his way to deliver a diving elbow drop to defeat the 350 pound giant.

Official Decision: “Macho Man” Randy Savage wins by pinfall

Following the match, Miss Elizabeth joins Savage in the ring for a brief victory celebration, cut short by the “Macho Man”, himself. He takes a microphone to cut a sweeping vindictive against “Superstar” Billy Graham and the International Heavyweight Champion, Yvon “Le Lion” Robert. The Macho Man’s list of enemies is growing and the iconic grappler, arguably the best wrestler in all of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling, plans on defeating each one of them inside of the ring in the coming weeks. Could the International Heavyweight Championship soon find its way around the waist of the Macho Man?

*Commercial Break 4*

VS.

Falls Count Anywhere Match
For the North American Tag Team Championship Titles
Bad Influence vs. Montréal Mafia

This is an exciting anything goes kind of affair. Which is the truly the better tag team? We should have an answer at the end of this bout, as “Classy” Freddie Blassie, Frenchy Martin, Tajiri, “Superstar” Billy Graham and Yvon “Le Lion” Robert are all banned from ringside until the match ends, and they face strict penalties should we see any of them before the match comes to an end. It’s a tooth and nail battle between the high octane X-division style of Bad Influence and the tough as nails power and classic brawler style of Dino Bravo and Mad Dog Vachon. This match would fit right at home on a BCCW show as its brawl into the audience portion of the card. As such, it fulfills that rarely seen role on an AGPW show. The match takes place in equal portions inside the ring, around ringside, up the entrance aisle and through the crowd. Bravo and Vachon are dominating throughout the middle portion of the match, when the fight goes into the crowd. Bravo beats Kazarian around and Vachon takes Daniels to task on opposite ends of the arena. A second referee joins the fray to register pinfall attempts as the articipants move further away from each other. Bravo and Vachon are frustrated by their inability to register a 3-count against either Kazarian or Daniels. When both men find a brief moment to defend themselves and counter the onslaught, they take the match back to the ring, where they clearly shine. Kazarian and Daniels take high risks, but they come with big rewards and the playing field evens out. The match hurls towards an end when Bravo clears the French announce table only to be superkicked onto it by Kazarian. Inside of the ring, Vachon sets up for a piledriver on Daniels, but he counters with a back body drop and heads to the turnbuckle. Kazarian grabs his attention and Daniels changes his target to land the Best Moonsault Ever on Bravo, sending both men crashing through the French announce table. The referee counts the pinfall to three while Kazarian blocks Vachon’s path to pin with a running dropkick. Bad Influence defeats the Montréal Mafia for the second time in as many episodes of DSN!

Official Decision: Bad Influence wins by pinfall

*Commercial Break 5*

VS.

Leo Burke vs. The Mountie

This is a relatively short match that sees both Burke and The Mountie grappling fairly evenly in the opening moments of the bout. Burke gains control of the match and appears to be on the fast track towards a victory. He pulls off several moves in succession, culminating with a shoulderbreaker that gets with a 2-count on his pinfall attempt. Burke decides to run to the ropes for his next attack, but The Mountie gets up and hits him with a beautiful dropkick to stall his momentum. He tosses Burke from the ring, but can’t follow up, as the referee blocks him from going outside.

We can see “Classy” Freddie Blassie coming down to the ring. Burke gets up, doesn’t see him, and tries to climb into the ring, only to get a shot from Blassie’s cane across the lower back and then a follow up shot to the face. Burke tumbles like a pile of bricks. He’s bleeding from the mouth as Blassie picks him up and rolls him into the ring, where The Mountie waits and pins him for the victory.

Official Decision: The Mountie wins by pinfall

*Commercial Break 6*

Jeremy Borash finds “Classy” Freddie Blassie backstage and asks him why he attacked Leo Burke during his match, just before the commercial break. Blassie references the last time we saw Burke, in which he was interviewed and stated that he wasn’t afraid that Californiacation would pay him back for breaking up their assault on Randy Savage and Christian Cage, back in January. He says that Burke is an idiot not to fear the power of Californiacation or the Illuminati. He goes on to say that the Montréal Mafia would be smart not repeat Leo Burke’s mistakes for what Tajiri did “Superstar” Billy Graham, tonight. However, he knows they’re not smart, as exemplified in Dino Bravo & Mad Dog Vachon’s blown rematch for the North American Tag Team Titles. As a consequence, they’ll have to suffer and perish while Californiacation grows stronger.

VS.

Lumberjill Match
Gail Kim vs. The Fabulous Moolah

Here, we have an historic first lumberjill/lumberjack match in AGPW. More importantly, it is the first time that the women of AGPW have been featured in the main event of an AGPW program. And these two women are certainly more than deserving of the spotlight. There are 10 lumberjills around ringside for this match. They are Natalya Neidhart, Taylor Wilde, Mighty Molly, ODB, Portia Perez, Nikki Matthews, Sarita, Rosita, Jennifer Blake and Alison Danger. Every female wrestler in the company is out here for this one, with the except of “Sensational” Sherrie, who is said to be suffering from injury after her encounter with Awesome Kong, the most dangerous woman in professional wrestling and the very reason why the lumberjill stipulation was added to this match. Kim and Moolah are both undefeated, but one of them will suffer her first loss, tonight. There is a lot riding on this match – primarily bragging rights – but one has to think that the victor will be in prime position to sit alone at the top of the women’s division rankings. Contrasting styles leads to an entertaining matchup here as we’ve got a gritty grappler with power in Fabulous Moolah and a high-flying ring technician with an array of submission holds in her back pocket in Gail Kim.

They go back-and-forth in the opening minutes of the match, with arm drags, hip tosses, armbars, punches, kicks, chops, all around the ring. Kim starts to gain an advantage and keeps the match moving at a quick pace. Moolah can’t seem to keep up and attempts to gain some separation by leaving the ring, but the lumberjills are on her. Moolah tries to fight them off, but of course, there are too many of them. It takes Neidhart, Wilde and ODB to handle Moolah and roll her back into the ring where Kim takes her down with tilt-a-whirl headscissors and then slows the pace down with some restholds and submission holds targets at Moolah’s shoulders and upper back. Moolah gets back to her feet and breaks a headlock with some pointed elbows to the abdomen, then thumbs Kim to the eye and flings her across the ring with a Moolah whip (hairpull toss). She gets a talking to from the referee, but it doesn’t matter much, can now assume control of the match. Moolah works over Kim’s torso. She gives her a gutbuster, a few backbreakers and a vertical suplex before applying a figure four leglock. Kim writhes in pain and her shoulders hit the mat a few times, leading to a couple of pinfall counts, but she always sits up afterwards. Kim makes it to the ropes for the break. Moolah comes in and delivers a few forearm shots to the face, then whips Kim into the corner. Moolah charges in, but takes a boot to the face. Kim hops onto the second turnbuckle and leaps off only to get caught in mid-air and slammed down with a uranage slam! 1…2… shoulder up! Moolah questions the count, but then goes right back to work with a bow-and-arrow submission hold. Kim doesn’t quit and Moolah eventually breaks the hold. She decides to toss Kim out of the ring at the feet of Mexican Canada and orders them to stomp a mudhole into her. They pick her up and Sarita holds her for Rosita to take one quick cheap shot at her before tossing her back into the ring. Moolah stomps away at her back and then drops some knees into the kidneys and then slaps on a camel clutch. Kim screams out in pain, but won’t quit. She gets her arms loose, but Moolah butt bumps her back and reapplies the hold. Kim gets out of it again and Moolah tries the same move, but Kim quickly turns over and gets her shins up! Both women are down and nearly get counted out. They get up and Moolah attacks. Kim blocks and fires away with right hands, then gives Moolah an Irish whip into the corner. Kim gives her a running handspring back elbow. Kim, then sits up on the top turnbuckle and gives Moolah a tornado DDT. She pins, 1…2.. kick out! Kim climbs the turnbuckle and flies off, executive a hurricanrana with a cradle for another near fall! Kim tries for Eat Defeat, but Moolah counters off of the twisting armbar set up by turning it into a short-arm clothesline. Moolah picks up Kim and treats her like a ragdoll with a bearhug. Kim eventually breaks it with some elbows to the forehead. She runs to the ropes, but comes right back into a dropkick. Moolah grabs Kim by the legs and tries to turn her over into a Boston crab, but Kim fights it and flips her away. Kim with a lariat attempt, but Moolah ducks it. Moolah turns and tries for a clothesline, but Kim ducks it. Kim lands a kick to the midsection and leaps up to go for a hurricanrana, but Moolah counters it with a running sit-out powerbomb! 1…2…3! And just ahead of Kim’s kick out attempt! Fabulous Moolah makes good her promise to remain undefeated and can continue to claim to be the greatest female wrestler of all-time, at least for now.

Official Decision: Fabulous Moolah wins by pinfall

After the match has ended, Awesome Kong appears on the entrance set. She immediately gets the attention of all of the lumberjills and then slowly heads down towards the ring, carving out a path of destruction on her way down. She throws women aside, left and right, until she climbs onto the ring apron and stares down Fabulous Moolah. Gail Kim finally gets up to her knees and sees Kong, who enters the ring and stares her down. Moolah, who is behind Kim, feeds her to wolves by shoving Kim right into Kong, who lifts her up in a two-handed chokehold before throwing her down and looking at Moolah, who turns to leave the ring only to get clocked with a title belt by Trish Stratus!

Stratus directs Kong to keep the other women at bay. As ODB, Wilde, Blake, Molly and Natalya try to enter the ring, Kong swats them away. Meanwhile, Stratus assaults both Fabulous Moolah and Gail Kim, giving them both some Stratusfaction and Chick Kicks! Stratus gets a microphone and announces that her goal was always to come home to Canada and be at the top of the best women’s wrestling division in the world. Now, the “Top Shelf” is officially a part of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling, having signed her contract last night. And thanks to some special friends, she hasn’t come alone. She’s brought the BCCW Women’s Championship with her!

Who are Trish’ special friends? Is the BCCW Women’s Championship now the AGPW Women’s Championship? And if so, does Trish just get to walk in here and declare herself the champion? Find out the answers to those questions and so much more next week on Dynamite Saturday Night!

VS.

Canadian Ninjas vs. Natalya Neidhart & Taylor Wilde

A great Canadian-style technical wrestling match features four excellent workers who pull out all of the stops to get the fans chanting “This is awesome!” The match runs 17-minutes and rarely lets up. Mat based technical wrestling is interspersed with several high impact maneuvers. In what may come as a surprised to most fans, the Canadian Ninjas leave this one victorious when Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews are able to execute Funky Cold Medina (a superkick-bridging German suplex combo) on Taylor Wilde after they leave Neidhart hanging upside down, facing the crowd, with her feet tied up in the ropes.

Official Decision: Canadian Ninjas win by pinfall
