VS.

6-Man Tag Team Match
Owen Hart, Lance Storm & Tyson Kidd vs. “The Iceman” Dean Malenko, “Killer” Karl Krupp & Kurrgan

The show opens with our big 6-man tag team match. But first, we get footage of a meeting between the three Calgarians from about 15 minutes before the show was set to begin. Owen Hart tells Lance Storm and Tyson Kidd that the AGPW trainers have not cleared him for competition tonight (this was because he was choked out by “Killer” Karl Krupp until he was rendered unconscious last week). Storm and Kidd don’t know what to do about a partner.

Back in the ring, Storm and Kidd wait out the entrances of Dean Malenko and Karl Krupp & Kurrgan. They look to be outnumbered until…

Christian Cage joins the team! The match begins. It’s an intense battle that sees the all-Canadian side get out to a hot start to pop the crowd. Malenko, Krupp and even “The Acadian Giant” Kurrgan are all cleared from the ring. When Cage and Krupp finally square off, the big brawler lays into him hard for about half a minute, but Cage fights back and frustrates the German aristocrat. The Canadians keep Krupp on his back heels, but Krupp counters a flying cross-body block from Tyson Kidd into a backbreaker, which gives him his opening to tag out. Kurrgan comes in and stops the last graduate of the Hart dungeon from tagging out and destroys him. Just for fun, he knocks Cage off of the ring apron and drags Storm into the ring to give him a vicious chokeslam. Kurrgan is an unstoppable monster! However, he tags out and lets “The Iceman” come in and methodically pick apart Kidd. Kidd kicks out of several nearfalls. When Malenko locks on the Texas cloverleaf, Storm makes the save by hitting Malenko from behind. Krupp comes in and battles with Storm. They fight out of the ring. The referee misses a hot tag to Cage and forces Kidd to remain in the ring, to get torn apart even further. Cage keeps saving his partner. Eventually, the matches devolves into a full out brawl. Cage and Malenko brawl away from ringside and up the entrance aisle. Back in the ring, the referee has his hands full trying to get the over 7-foot, 350-pound Acadian Giant out of the ring. As he’s distracted, Krupp serves up chair shots to both Storm and Kidd. Krupp throws Kidd out of the ring and into the guardrail! He tags out and lets Kurrgan end the match with another chokeslam given to Storm, followed by the Kurrgan Claw!

Official Decision: “The Iceman” Dean Malenko, “Killer” Karl Krupp and “The Acadian Giant” Kurrgan win by submission

*Commercial Break 1*

The International Heavyweight Champion, Yvon “Le Lion” Robert is here to boast about defeating Dean Malenko to secure the final pod entrance in the elimination chamber match at HELLFIRE IN HALIFAX. Accompanied by Montréal Mafia manager Frenchy Martin, they cut a promo smearing the reputations of each of Robert’s elimination chamber opponents and boast about “Le Lion” is and forever will remain the king of the jungle. Their words lead to them receiving heaps of adulation from the crowd.

After giving them plenty of time to get cheap pops from their loyal Québecois fans, Commissioner Billy Two Rivers is out to rain on their parade and tell Yvon “Le Lion” Robert that will have to be in action tonight. And in keeping with his recent streak of match bookings that are both fan-friendly and approved by Cyrus and The Network, Commissioner Two Rivers announces that tonight’s main event will feature all four of the elimination chamber contestants that did not compete in tonight’s show opener. It’s going to be a tag team match pitting Leo Burke and “Macho Man” Randy Savage against Yvon “Le Lion” Robert and “Superstar” Billy Graham! Robert and Martin protest this booking and Robert says that he will not team with Billy Graham under any circumstances whatsoever. Two Rivers says that he will have to learn to work with Graham as a team tonight because if they lose the match, Robert and Graham will be the first two men to start in the elimination chamber. Plus, if Robert is pinned or submits, whichever man betters him will receive Robert’s final entry spot in the elimination chamber match!

It’s Leo Burke & “Macho Man” Randy Savage vs. Yvon “Le Lion” Robert & “Superstar” Billy Graham in tonight’s main event and the stakes are high!

*Commercial Break 2*

w/ VS. w/

“Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase w/ Virgil vs. Taka Michinoku w/ Sho Funaki

This is your standard debut match to showcase the new guy. However, in Dibiase’s case, it’s not a total squash. Taka is competitive to start, but Dibiase gains control of the match. He uses his technical brilliance inside of the ring to dominate for a few minutes. However, he slows down the pace and takes too much time in between moves, letting his ego get the best of him. Cue the underdog babyface come back to pop the crowd. Taka even gets a close 2-count pinfall attempt to nearly win the match. When Virgil tries to get involved, Sho Funaki starts a ringside fight with him. Dibiase turns the tide of the match with a few underhanded moves, leading to the application of the Million Dollar Dream, which puts Taka to sleep for the win! Post-match festivities include Virgil handing Dibiase some one hundred dollar bills to shove into the mouths of both Kaientai members, as well as Dibiase cutting a promo to expose the virtues of being rich and to claim that he can buy anyone he wants – including Rowdy Roddy Piper – because everybody has a price, especially for the Million Dollar Man!

Official Decision: “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase wins by submission

*Commercial Break 3*

Bo Dallas comes to the ring and takes a microphone. He has a very important message to give to Chris Hero. Dallas says that he and his legions of BOlievers want Hero to know that they are good, kind hearted people that recognize that not everyone is perfect. They accept that everyone has flaws – and that some people have more flaws than others. One of Hero’s flaws is that he sometimes makes poor decisions, like attacking a friend and tag team partner. For instance, last week, Hero made a bad mistake when he cost Dallas his match against Lance Cade by accidentally hitting him with a Hangman’s Elbow. Dallas says that, on behalf of all of the BOlievers, they would like to forgive Hero for the mistake he made last week, after he comes to the ring and apologizes for it. While waiting to see if Hero will come out, “No More Bo” chant strikes up. Bo just wears a big goofy smile, waves to the fans and thanks them for chanting his name.

Hero comes to the ring and refuses to apologize. He says that what he did was not a mistake. He meant to do it as payback for Dallas costing him his match two weeks ago against Trevor Murdoch. Dallas grins and then disagrees that he cost him his match. He says that he didn’t enter the ring and only came to ringside as a show of support for his new friend. Hero tells me that they are not friends and that, in fact, he would actually cherish the opportunity to knock Dallas out in front of his legions of invisible BOlievers. Dallas asks Hero if that means that, in the spirit of healthy competition, he would like to have a wrestling match between friends. Hero says that he wouldn’t necessarily put it in those words, but that is what he wants. Dallas asks his BOlievers if they want to see them face each other at HELLFIRE IN HALIFAX, to which he receives a positive response. Then, Dallas agrees to a match and extends his hand to shake, all the while sporting a large grin. Hero says that he’ll see him in Halifax, throws the mic down and walks away without shaking his hand.

We return from the commercial break to find Lance Storm and Tyson Kidd in their locker room icing their wounds following their show opening match, in which both men were served chair shots from “Killer” Karl Krupp. Owen Hart enters the dressing room and laments that both of them were hurt and that there was nothing he could do about it because of doctor’s orders. However, he has good news for Storm and Kidd. After seeing what happened to them, he went to see Commissioner Billy Two Rivers with an idea for a match at HELLFIRE IN HALIFAX and he decided to sign it on the spot. It will be Lance Storm and Tyson Kidd versus “Killer” Karl Krupp and “The Acadian Giant” Kurrgan in a No Disqualifications tag team match! Storm and Kidd don’t seem too enthusiastic and ask Hart why he didn’t get himself into a match. He replies that he won’t be cleared to compete for at least 3 weeks, so he can’t help out in this match. However, he is confident that they’ll get their revenge in this match because, according to him, there are no better wrestlers on the planet than those that hail from Calgary!

*Commercial Break 4*

w/ VS. w/

North American Tag Team Title #1 Contenders Match
Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch w/ ODB vs. Magnus & Cesaro w/ Maryse Ouellet

Both of these teams have been doing a great job of winning matches over the last few weeks, including in singles competition. Cade and Murdoch are the fan favourites in this almost rematch from December’s MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL pay-per-view. That one was a mixed 6-person tag match. Both of those women are at ringside for this one. Maryse’s cattiness is in full effect here. ODB, for her part, just flips her off and threatens to knock out Maryse with her flask. Inside of the ring, we get a very competitive match. Each side takes turns in control of this bout. Cesaro looks the most impressive when he is in the ring, as he rarely allows a move in edgewise against him. When Cade and Murdoch are in control, it is Magnus that is their punching bag. Likewise, Murdoch takes more punishment from Magnus and Cesaro than Cade does. In the dying moments of the match, Cesaro tags in Magnus, then sends Murdoch flying around the ring in the Cesaro Swing. After he tosses Murdoch aside, Magnus nails him with a flying elbow drop. He covers. 1…2… Cade makes the save. Cesaro goes for a running clothesline. Cade ducks it, then hits Cesaro with a superkick that causes him to fall beneath the ropes and onto the floor. Cade and Magnus trade blows. Magnus with a whip attempt, but it is reversed, sending Magnus right into a spinebuster from Murdoch. He picks up Magnus and together Cade and Murdoch execute Sweet ‘n Sour. Murdoch covers for the 3-count while Cade blocks Cesaro’s path back into the ring. Cade and Murdoch are the #1 contenders and will go on to face Bad Influence at HELLFIRE IN HALIFAX.

Official Decision: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch win by pinfall

*Commercial Break 5*

BCCW Women’s Champion and Hollywood A-Lister, “Top Shelf” Trish Stratus makes her grand entrance into the arena with the newest official member of the AGPW women’s division, Awesome Kong, and the architect of the Illuminati’s Californiacation movement, “Classy” Freddie Blassie. They enter the ring and call out Commissioner Billy Two Rivers.

Two Rivers comes to the ring and tells them to get on with it because he’s busy dealing with real AGPW business and he doesn’t have time to put up with Trish Stratus’ demands of being crowned the uncontested AGPW Women’s Champion. Unfortunately for him, Trish reveals a copy of her contract, the very same one that she says can be found in the head offices in Moncton and shows him the fine line that allows Trish Stratus to transfer her reign as the BCCW Women’s Champion over to AGPW to act as its first ever Women’s Champion. Commissioner Two Rivers can’t believe it that this contract was signed off by his boss, Emile Duprée, and assumes that “Classy” Freddie Blassie snuck this provision into the contract at the last moment. Blassie has a sly smile on his face, but then denounces the Commissioner for suggesting that he would pull such an underhanded move. With his hands tied, Commissioner Two Rivers has to accept that Trish Stratus is the AGPW Women’s Champion. However, what the assembled members of Californiacation did not expect is that, since the title is now effectively governed by the AGPW commissioner’s office, Commissioner Two Rivers decides to force Stratus to hold her inaugural title defence right now against Natalya Neidhart!

w/ & VS.

Trish Stratus w/ Awesome Kong & “Classy” Freddie Blassie vs. Natalya Neidhart

Natalya Neidhart puts up a valiant effort in this match, but the deck is stacked against her. The Queens of Harts battles back-and-forth with the champion before gaining momentum that continues to build in her favour. Were it not for the fact that “Classy” Freddie Blassie and Awesome Kong were at ringside, Neidhart might actually have been able to ride her wave of momentum to the finish line to pin the champion and take the title. However, referee distractions and interference by the most frightening and intimidating woman in the mash-up wrestling universe do Neidhart’s chances of a victory in. Trish Stratus wins the match by pinfall after executing the Stratusfaction, which itself followed her receiving plenty of help from Blassie and Kong.

Official Decision: Trish Stratus wins by pinfall

After the match, Stratus demands that Neidhart be made incapable of challenging for her title again. With Blassie wielding his cane and threatening to strike the AGPW officials, Awesome Kong has all day to prepare Neidhart to be destroyed. However, before she can do anything to harm Neidhart, Gail Kim rushes out and attacks Stratus! Awesome Kong tosses Neidhart aside to focus on Kim, but ends up in a fist fight with Chyna! Chyna does the unthinkable and backs up into the ropes before clotheslining her out of the room! Officials swarm the ring and Blassie collects the Women’s Champion and makes a break for it, while Gail Kim and Chyna shake hands. After being missing for a couple of weeks, following an attack by Stratus and Kong, Gail Kim is back and she’s found an ally Chyna (who, it should be noted, is appearing here without a contract).

*Commercial Break 6*

Backstage, a collection of angry Californiacators is met by SoCal Val. “Classy” Freddie Blassie screams that it is an outrage that Chyna came to the ring after having lost her chance at a contract last week. He rails against AGPW’s inability to keep non-contracted wrestlers from showing up on its TV shows (although the two main culprits of this kind of behaviour in recent months have been Trish Stratus and Awesome Kong). Kong is angry and wants to rip Chyna’s head off, while Stratus charges that Gail Kim is jealous of her success and claims that she will always be a second-rate Canadian female grappler. The “Top Shelf” is unattainable to her and she says that she’ll prove it anytime, anywhere!

What amazing timing! Commissioner Billy Two Rivers happens upon the scene, approves of Trish’s fighting spirit, and grants her wish – it will be Trish Stratus versus Gail Kim at HELLFIRE IN HALIFAX.

Jeremy Borash is with a fiery Rowdy Roddy Piper. The Hot Rod disputes Ted Dibiase’s claims that he can be bought. In fact, he goes so far as to say that he would never accept Dibiase’s money in any situation you can dream up, except for if Dibiase was going to pay him to get into the wrestling ring and beat the living hell out of the “Million Dollar Man” and his Chippendales-looking clown of a bodyguard, Virgil, but even he’d be willing to do that for free, which goes to show you that it isn’t about the money for the Hot Rod, rather it’s about the principle, and his principles lean towards showing rich ingrates that they don’t rule the world as much as they like to think they do (WOW – what a run-on sentence from Piper, the motormouth)! Finally, Piper promises that the next time Dibiase uses the Hot Rod’s name with the words “can be bought” in the same sentence, he’ll rip the Million Dollar Man’s tongue out just to make sure he’ll never be able to say those words ever again.

*Commercial Break 7*

w/ VS. w/

Leo Burke & Randy Savage w/ Miss Elizabeth vs. Yvon “Le Lion” Robert & “Superstar” Billy Graham w/ “Classy” Freddie Blassie & Frenchy Martin

Our main event tag team match has huge ramifications for the HELLFIRE IN HALIFAX elimination chamber match. Bitter enemies Yvon “Le Lion” Robert and “Superstar” Billy Graham are forced to try to work as a cohesive unit because if they lose, they will be the first two wrestlers competing in the elimination chamber, giving them the worst odds of winning the match and the International Heavyweight Championship. On the other hand, Leo Burke and “Macho Man” Randy Savage, although they are friends, will have difficult time maintaining a positive relationship because whichever one of them can pin or submit Robert will take his protected sixth spot in the elimination chamber. The psychology behind these stipulations plays themselves out throughout the duration of the match. Robert and Graham are hostile towards one another, but keep it together to work towards their common goal. However, brief miscommunications lead to them momentarily bickering or, in one case, Graham refusing to tag into the match and hoping off of the ring apron to avoid tagging into the match. This leads to Robert receiving a bridging German suplex from Burke, which Graham still breaks up to prevent his team from losing. Robert, the current International Heavyweight Champion, spends a lot of the match getting beaten up by Burke and Savage, which doesn’t go over well with the fans in Chicoutimi. He’s essentially the face-in-peril in front of this crowd. Later on in the match, after taking a huge beating, Robert becomes the victim of an overhead belly-to-belly suplex from Burke. He tags Savage, who goes up top and nails the diving elbow drop. 1…2… Burke breaks it up! Savage is livid. Their partnership now appears to be hanging on by a thread as they get into a shouting match and start shoving one another. They eventually let the fists fly. Meanwhile, Robert takes advantage of the situation to crawl away and tag out of the match. Graham comes in Burke an atomic drop. Then, Savage drops Burke with a clothesline. Graham grabs Savage and gives him an atomic drop. Then, a punch, chop, punch, chop, punch, chop and clothesline over the top rope. Graham goes outside and the ringside brawl is on. He slams Savage’s face off of the ringsteps. He goes for the whip, but Savage reverses it and Graham slams into the guardrail. Savage throws fists at him now. He rolls Graham back into the ring and climbs up to the top turnbuckle. Diving double axehandle smash. Savage stomps at Graham, then drags him to his corner and leaves him there while he walks to his owner to tag out. The Macho Man isn’t interested in pinning Graham because it is of no benefit to him. Robert gives him an earful. Graham tries to tag out, but Robert hops off of the ring apron and decides that he will leave. Frenchy Martin collects the champion’s title belt and they’re circling the ring to leave. However, they’re stopped by Burke when he diving through the ropes with a suicide dive that takes out Robert! Savage comes over and keeps up the fight on Robert, then tosses him into the ring. Burke slides in and covers. 1…2.. Savage pulls him off of Robert, after which they immediately begin to throw punches at one another. While these tag team partners are duking it out, Robert sneaks up behind Burke and pulls him into a roll-up pin. 1…2… Savage boots Robert in the back of the head. Graham enters the ring and clothesline’s Savage. He stomps away at Savage and then tosses him through the ropes to the outside. Graham continues to assault Savage at ringside. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Robert gets Burke in a small package. 1…2… kick out! Burke goes for a clothesline. Robert ducks it, then executes a side belly-to-back suplex and pins for 1…2… shoulder up! Robert tries to apply his patented arm-trap headscissors, but Burke fights him off until he’s in the ropes. Robert backs away just long enough to allow Burke to get to his feet, then charges at him, but Burke catches him coming with dropkick. Burke grabs Robert and turns him over in a Boston crab! Back on the outside, Graham powerbombs Savage through the English announce team’s table! Meanwhile, Robert’s power is so drained that he’s unable to make a move for the ropes. He’s on the verge of tapping when Burke must break the hold to avoid a running clothesline from Graham. Burke gives Graham a dropkick! After that, he backs Graham into the corner with a series of chops. He climbs up and punches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! Burke goes for the cross-corner whip, but Graham manages a reversal, unknowingly sending Burke into a charging spear from Robert! He hooks both of Burke’s legs. 1…2…3! The champion retains his spot as the final entrant in the elimination chamber at HELLFIRE IN HALIFAX.

Official Decision: Yvon “Le Lion” Robert & “Superstar” Billy Graham win by pinfall

VS.

Robbie T vs. Samoa Joe

Our show opener is just as squash-tastic as last week’s match featuring Robbie T’s tag team partner, Robbie E, versus the Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe! Robbie T gets more offense in by attacking Joe as he is walking through the ropes. However, as soon as he whips Joe across the ring, to the corner turnbuckle, it’s all downhill from there. Robbie T runs, but Joe moves. He gives Robbie T some forearm smashes and the CCS enzigurri kick! Up the turnbuckle he goes and lands a diving knee drop. Joe locks on the Coquina Clutch and it’s game over only 60-seconds after the bell rang!

Official Decision: Samoa Joe wins by submission

***

VS.

Sho Funaki vs. The Mountie

A fairly decent contest that goes about 8-minutes. Funaki looks really good here, but as always seems to be the case, he cannot secure the victory. A few near pinfalls get the fans hoping that maybe he will defeat the crooked RCMP officer. However, The Mountie hits Funaki with what is arguably the best dropkick in the business and then follows it up with the Carotid Control Technique neverhold sleeper to win the match.

Official Decision: The Mountie wins by submission

***

VS.

Sarita vs. Jennifer Blake

An excellent 10-minute lucha libre contest. Both women show off their lucha background and keep the fans invested in the contest throughout its duration. High risk maneuvers, chain wrestling and back-and-forth pinfall counters and combinations make this one a must see match. The end comes when Blake goes for a running dropkick while Sarita is on her knees. Sarita ducks it. Then get up and Sarita gives Blake a bridging German suplex. 1…2… kick out! Sarita gives Blake a kick to the mid-section and then executes La Reienera and pins her for the win.

Official Decision: Sarita wins by pinfall

***

VS.

Goldust w/ Marlena vs. Rosey w/ Mighty Molly

A competitive 6-minute bout that sees Goldust try to play mind games with our Superhero in Training. However, Rosey’s training has taught him to have excellent focus and powers to countact psychological warfare and so he throws around the Bizarre One for a good portion of the match. However, a back body drop is countered with a blistering uppercut and from that point forward, Goldust marches on to victory, which he achieves after giving Rosey shattered dreams and the final cut!

Official Decision: Goldust wins by pinfall
