VS.
“Iceman” Dean Malenko vs. Chris Hero
Before our opening match begins, while Dean Malenko is making his entrance, we get video from earlier in the day. Malenko meets with Commissioner Billy Two Rivers and tells him that it shows a lack of respect to him that Samoa Joe can just demand a match with him and it would be granted. Malenko says that if that’s the case, he should be able to demand a match stipulation, after all he is the first International Heavyweight Champion in AGPW history. Two Rivers tells him that he can choose a match stipulation for the match if he can beat Chris Hero faster than Samoa Joe beat him last week. However, if it takes him more time to defeat Hero, then Samoa Joe will be allowed to select a stipulation for their match.
With that in mind, Malenko brings an aggressive attack into the match, right from the outset. Whereas he’s usually slow and methodical in the opening minutes, here he’s fast, powerful and punishing. Malenko’s attack is relentless with a variety of suplexes, including multiple snaps, gutwrenches, Germans and belly-to-bellies. After an overhead belly-to-belly suplex, Hero rolls to the floor to get a breather. Malenko, knowing that he must finish the match as quickly as possible chases. That proves to be a mistake, as Hero catches Malenko with a back elbow and then shoves him into the ring post. He takes Malenko back into the ring and starts to wear Malenko down with an offense built around elbow and foot strikes. However, the tables are turned back into Malenko’s favour when he ducks and rolls out of the way of a missile dropkick attempt. When they both get up, Hero charges at Malenko only to have his tilt-a-whirl headscissors attempt countered into a tilt-a-whirl gutbuster. Malenko follows that up with a gutwrench powerbomb and then slaps on the Texas Cloverleaf. However, Hero is too close to the ropes and grabs the bottom rope almost immediately. The referee calls for Malenko to break the hold and he waits to the last second to do so. Malenko stays right on him, but Hero gets a foot up on Malenko after he’s whipped into the corner. He mounts a brief comeback and goes for a Hangman’s Elbow, but Malenko ducks it, then takes Hero down with a bridging dragon suplex! Hero kicks out, but then Malenko applies the Texas Cloverleaf one more time to earn the win.
At the end of the match, we learn that Malenko took about 30 seconds more than Samoa Joe to defeat Hero. As a result, Joe gets to pick the match stipulation for their match at JOURNEY TO GREATNESS. Joe comes out of the entrance and announces that he and Malenko will compete in a submissions only “I Quit” match! Joe guarantees us that he will remain undefeated and that he’ll make Malenko give up! Malenko shoots Joe a cold look of anger. Can Malenko end Samoa Joe’s undefeated streak and make him tap out or will Joe kill him? Find out at JOURNEY TO GREATNESS!
Official Decision: “Iceman” Dean Malenko wins by submission
*Commercial Break 1*
VS.
Sarita vs. Gail Kim
This is a good contest featuring two wrestlers who aren’t afraid to jump all over the ring or from the ring to the outside. And that is exactly what they do. They both showcase their ability to go high risk. Sarita is the more accomplish lucha libre specialist, but Gail Kim is no slouch herself and is more than capable of matching her move for move. They use the ropes to springboard all over the place. There are springboard body presses, arm drags and dropkicks in this match. Plus, each wrestler hits the other with suicide dives and planchas to the outside of the ring. Sarita executes a diving tilt-a-whirl headscissors from the top turnbuckle and Gail Kim executes a diving hurricanrana into a pin from the corner. Both of these extremely talented women give us a match that gets the crowd really into it and leads the fans to chant “This is awesome!” Near the end of the match, Sarita connects with a savate kick and goes for a sitout double underhook powerbomb, but Kim counters it into a sitout facebuster and goes for the pin, but Sarita kicks out! Kim goes for a whip, but Sarita reverses with a short-arm into a fireman’s carry lift in an attempt to go for La Reienera, but Kim gets down off of her shoulders and executes Eat Defeat to pick up a hard fought victory in her final match before JOURNEY TO GREATNESS. In two weeks, Kim gets another opportunity to fight for the Women’s Championship and with everyone but the three competitors in the match barred from ringside, could she finally leave JOURNEY TO GREATNESS as the AGPW Women’s Champion? Subscribe to the Mash-Up Wrestling Network, tune in and find out on May 31, 2014!
Official Decision: Gail Kim wins by pinfall
*Commercial Break 2*
VS.
Shannon Moore vs. Cesaro
Long-time AGPW fans will notice one unusual thing about this match is that Cesaro has come to the ring alone. He is without his long-time manager, Maryse Ouellet, although there has been no official word of a severed working relationship between the two. Still, after last week’s show, in which Cesaro was called out by Maryse for repeatedly making mistakes that were costing his team with Magnus matches, and then attacked by Magnus, it is no big surrise that he has come to the ring by himself. Without Maryse’s managerial services, Cesaro still looks impressive. In fact, he looks extremely impressive in this match against the Prince of Punk. Moore does get a bit of offense in, but the pace and action is mostly dictated by Cesaro after he lifts Moore from the ring apron into the ring for a superplex! From that point on, it’s all Cesaro. When he gives Moore the Cesaro Swing, he earns a decent pop from the crowd and gets another one after executing the Neutralizer and pinning Moore for the win.
Official Decision: Cesaro wins by pinfall
Cesaro’s victory celebration is cut short when Maryse Ouellet and Magnus enter the ring. Maryse offers Cesaro the opportunity to come back into the fold and resume a great tag team partnership with Magnus, provided he apologizes for all of the mistakes he made over the last several weeks. Not only that, but he must also give Magnus a personal apology for giving him a Very European Uppercut, last week. Cesaro declines the invitation to apologize to them for turning his back on them or for what he did to Magnus, which he reminds them, he only did because Magnus attacked him first. And he promises them that he will respond the same way if ever Magnus tries to attack him from behind again. Maryse doesn’t like his answer, but promises that they will let him leave the ring without being attacked form behind. However, as soon as Cesaro has left the ring, Magnus hops out of the ring, finds a kendo stick underneath the ring and attacks Cesaro with it while he’s walking towards the exit. Maryse instructs him to hit Cesaro over and over again and he continues the attack unabated until the kendo stick is completely bent out of shape. Later in the broadcast, Ed Whalen announces that a match between Magnus and Cesaro has been added to JOURNEY TO GREATNESS. Will Cesaro get his revenge or will Maryse and Magnus make him pay even further for turning his back on them? Find out on May 31!
*Commercial Break 3*
Jeremy Borash is standing by with the new AGPW North American Tag Team Champions, Leo Burke and Rowdy Roddy Piper! Borash asks them how it feels to be the tag team champions and both men respond that they are happy and proud to be wearing the tag team straps. He asks them which team they would prefer to have win tonight’s Fatal Fourway Tag Team #1 Contender’s Match (coming up after the next commercial break) and face at to JOURNEY TO GREATNESS. Both men say that they have no favourite. Burke is ready to face any of the four teams and so too is Piper. Burke has an air of calm confidence about him while he says that, while Piper has an air of insanity about him while he projects his confidence. When asked whether they think the odds are in favour of whichever team will be their challengers given that they have almost no experience working together as a tag team, Burke and Piper disagree with that assertion as each of them – whether calm and collected or filled with Scottish rage bordering on lunacy – make the point that it is easier to defend the titles than it is to win them and while the only way to go from the top is down, the view from the top is so nice that its worth taking in for a long, long time. They intend on taking that view for a long, long time to come!
SoCal Val is standing by with the AGPW Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus. The Hollywood A-Lister is the only Women’s Champion that AGPW has ever known, as she has held the title from the first day she arrived in AGPW. In fact, she’s held the title since before joining AGPW. It used to be the BCCW Women’s Championship. Trish is very proud to sling the title over her shoulder and tells SoCal Val that she looks forward to showing the world why she is the best Canadian female wrestler in the mash-up universe – a dig at Gail Kim – and why she will have the single greatest undefeated streak and the lengthiest women’s title reign ever – digs at Fabulous Moolah. She goes on to tell SoCal Val that the stipulation barring all other wrestlers, managers, etc. from ringside is not something she fears, but something she welcomes. Because after she defeats Moolah and Kim without any distractions around ringside, no one will question why she’s the only female talent in the world worthy of the “Top Shelf”.
Now, Jeremy Borash is with the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Champion, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin; but not for long. Austin immediately threatens to open up a can of whoop ass on Borash for asking him a pathetic opening question (asking whether he is ready to face “Macho Man” Randy Savage and “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase tonight). So, Borash abandons the interview and Austin just allows the fans to interview him, even though he’s backstage and they’re not. The “whats” are certainly loud enough for it. Austin stays on message, telling the entire world that his mantra is don’t trust anybody. He also warns that he can’t be trusted. He says that he didn’t attack DiBiase because he wanted to help Christian Cage. He attacked him because he was tired of listening to his privileged and pampered greedy sumbitch ass go on and on about how he owns the world. Well, so sayeth Austin, nobody owns Stone Cold and DiBiase’s going to learn the hard way when he gives him a Stone Cold Stunner right in the middle of the ring, tonight. Moving on to the “Macho Man”, Austin says that there’s absolutely nothing Macho – unless it’s in the Village People sense of the word – about attacking another man from behind. Someone who truly is bursting with machismo would come at you face on, let you know exactly how he’s going to annihilate you, and do it! That’s what Stone Cold does and that’s what he’s going to do tonight. He’s going to look Savage in the eye, attack, stun him out of his boots and pin him 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring, and that’s the bottom line because Stone Cold said so!
SoCal Val is now joined by the “Macho Man” Randy Savage and the lovely Miss Elizabeth. Savage does all of the talking, discussing the matter of attacking his former ally and friend, Christian Cage. Savage blames Cage for what he had to do to him, stating that Cage was being selfish and thinking only of himself and his troubles with the Million Dollar Man, knowing full well that Stone Cold Steve Austin had wronged him the week before and that he couldn’t just let that classless redneck get away with his stunning him when it was completely unwarranted. What the Macho Man did to Austin last week was necessary. It was to show him that the Macho Man doesn’t back down from a fight. If he wants to unleash the madness, the dog’s going to be let off the chain tonight and the Macho Man is going to give the world a sneak preview into what’s in store for them when he faces Austin one-on-one for the biggest prize in all of Mash-Up Wrestling at JOURNEY TO GREATNESS. Oooh yeah!!!

Fatal Fourway Tag Team #1 Contender’s Match
The Mountie & The Blue Blazer vs. Lance Storm & Tyson Kidd vs. The Hurricane & Rosey vs. “Killer” Karl Krupp & Kurrgan
The Mountie & The Blue Blazer vs. Lance Storm & Tyson Kidd vs. The Hurricane & Rosey vs. “Killer” Karl Krupp & Kurrgan
The winner of this match will go to JOURNEY TO GREATNESS to challenge Leo Burke and Rowdy Roddy Piper for the North American Tag Team Championship Titles. Each of these teams qualified for a spot in this match by defeating four other top ranked tag teams in matches last week. Here, we get all four teams taking turns with the advantage. There are frequent tags made throughout the first 10 minutes of the bout as no one team seems to gain a significant advantage, however The Hurricane and Tyson Kidd both play the face-in-peril at different points and each of the other teams avoid letting “Killer” Karl Krupp or Kurrgan enter the ring for a long stretch. It is an interesting decision as the two big men may be viewed as the favourites and most likely to eliminate their opponents, but by keeping them on the apron they stay fresh for later in the match. It is actually The Mountie who finally tags out to Krupp, which leads to a large brawl, as he immediately comes in and levels Lance Storm with a vicious clothesline, then knocks The Hurricane off of the ring apron with a right hand. Rosey enters the ring and so too does Kurrgan. There’s a battle of the two largest men in the ring. Storm crawls away to tag in his partner, but the Blue Blazer enters the ring, avoid the commotion and drags Storm away from his corner before he can make a tag. The referee tries to regain some semblance of order in the ring as Kurrgan and Rosey both tumble over the ropes and onto the floor. Krupp gives Storm a running senton bomb and then applies the Iron Claw! Tyson Kidd comes in and saves Storm by dropkicking Krupp to the forehead. Then, he runs over and knocks The Blue Blazer off of the apron with a dropkick. The Mountie enters the ring and battles with him, but Kidd gets the better of the exchange, then he decides to slingshot himself over the top rope with a corkscrew plancha to take out the Blue Blazer! Back in the ring, Storm ducks a running clothesline from Krupp and nails him with a superkick. He can’t cover, as Kurrgan drags his partner out of the ring to safety. Then, they are attacked by The Hurricane and Rosey. There is a ton of brawling taking place out on the floor. Back in the ring, we end up with The Mountie giving Storm an elevated belly-to-back suplex, but then he receives Code Blue from Kidd! Kidd helps Storm come around and he goes to pin The Mountie, but he’s not the legal man. Krupp, who is the legal man, returns to the ring and takes down Storm with a running big boot. He pins. 1…2…3! Kidd tried to go for the save, but was blocked by the Blue Blazer. Lance Storm & Tyson Kidd have been eliminated.
Blue Blazer becomes the new legal man as Krupp attacks him, but the Blazer fends him off and knocks him out with an enziguri kick. He goes for the pin, but can’t finish him off as Kidd pulls him out of the ring. The Mountie and Storm both come over and get involved in a ringside melee. The referee tries to break it up, as Storm and Kidd are no longer permitted to be at ringside. However, that doesn’t stop them from going after the Blue Blazer and trying to rip his mask off. They are intent on finding out who is under the mask, while the crowd chants ”He’s Owen Hart! He’s Owen Hart!” Storm and Kidd are eventually escorted away from ringside by extra officials, but not before Storm lands a superkick on the Blue Blazer, who is then rolled into the ring by Kidd. Kurrgan waits for the lifeless vigilante and gives him a chokeslam before pinning him to eliminate his team. The Mountie & Blue Blazer have been eliminated. Now down to two teams, the match continues for a few more minutes before The Hurricane, who has the momentum on his side, goes for a diving crossbody on Krupp and sticks it for the pin. Krupp kicks out just at the last moment. The Hurricane grabs Krupp to go for the Eye of the Hurricane, but Kurrgan stops him by slapping a chokehold on him. Rosey breaks that up with a double axehandle between the Acadian Giant’s shoulder blades. Hurricane sets up for the Eye of the Hurricane again, but this time, Krupp counters with a flapjack! As the Hurricane gets up Krupp gives him a sidewalk slam and then applies the Iron Claw. Rosey is nowhere near to break it up, as he’s just been whipped into the ringsteps by Kurrgan. As a result, the Hurricane taps out, thus awarding the match to “Killer” Karl Krupp and “The Acadian Giant” Kurrgan! Extra fall out from this match sees the addition of a tag team match between Lance Storm & Tyson Kidd and The Mountie & Blue Blazer at JOURNEY TO GREATNESS.
Official Decision: “Killer” Karl Krupp & Kurrgan win by submission
*Commercial Break 5*
VS.
Fabulous Moolah vs. Mighty Molly
Fabulous Moolah gets tough on the caped crusader early on, but AGPW’s lone female superhero makes a valiant comeback. A handspring back elbow followed by a bulldog nearly wins the match for Mighty Molly. She takes Moolah into the corner and sits her up on the top turnbuckle. Molly climbs up, but Moolah fights her off and knocks her to the mat. Moolah then takes Molly back down to the mat with a diving headscissors takedown! Molly gets up and Moolah gives her a nasty Moolah Whip! She pins for a 2-count. Moolah gives Molly a jumping snapmare and then a pair of shoot kicks, one to the back and the other to the front. Next, she turns Molly over into a Boston crab. Our superhero crawls her way to the ropes for the break. After getting up and taking some chops, Molly reverses a whip and sets up for a back bodydrop. Moolah counters with a sunset flip attempt, but can’t pull Molly down. Molly counters by sitting down on Moolah and hooking her legs. She nearly wins it there. Molly goes for a clothesline, but Moolah ducks it, then pulls her down in a school-girl roll-up and with a handful of tights, scores the 3-count for the victory! Could Moolah pull off the same dirty ring tactic to win the Women’s Championship at JOURNEY TO GREATNESS? Subscribe to the Mash-Up Wrestling Network, tune in and find out on May 31, 2014!
Official Decision: Fabulous Moolah wins by pinfall
*Commercial Break 6*
“Marvelous” Marc Mero and his personal trainer, Candice Michelle, come to the ring and in what is starting to become an old familiar refrain, Mero complains about how very little television time he’s had as of late – is “No Class” Bobby Bass writing his promos for him? – and claims that JOURNEY TO GREATNESS is not a show worth buying without his name on the card. Hell, his name ought to be at the very top of the card. He is the marquee man, “Marvelous” Marc Mero! He demands that he get his big pay-per-view payday and he won’t leave the ring until he’s been given what he wants. The last time he did this, he had the great misfortune of ending up with Samoa Joe as his opponent for HELLFIRE IN HALIFAX, so maybe doing this a second time isn’t the smartest thing in the world, but he’s occupying Dynamite Saturday Night anyhow!
It’s the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rollah – Y2J – Chris Jericho! And he’s here to announce that AGPW’s second year will be nothing like its first year because this year will henceforth be known as the Year of Jericho! Everyone needs to take notice that he is the best in the world at what he does, which means that he will quickly rise to the top of the AGPW ranks. And the beginning of his meteoric rise to the top will begin on May 31 at JOURNEY TO GREATNESS when he defeats the ass clown everyone sees standing in the middle of the ring.
The King of the World, Chris Jericho, will mark his AGPW debut when he faces “Marvelous” Marc Mero at JOURNEY TO GREATNESS! Don’t miss it!

VS.
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin & Christian Cage vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage & “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase
This epic tag team fantasy matchup was booked last week following a confrontation between the real AGPW International Heavyweight Champion, Christian Cage, and the man holding his title belt, “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin interjected himself in that confrontation, which nearly resulted in Cage getting his belt back. Unfortunately, it was not to be, as “Macho Man” Randy Savage attacked Austin as payback for giving him the Stone Cold Stunner one week earlier. This led to Savage and Cage, former allies, getting into a fight as DiBiase was able to scurry away while retaining possession of Cage’s title belt. DiBiase ‘bought’ Cage’s title from him for the bargain bin price of $100 dollars and now claims to be the rightful International Heavyweight Champion. Now, the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Champion and the AGPW International Heavyweight Champion team up to face their respective JOURNEY TO GREATNESS title match challengers in our last televised event before the big event.
All four men get separate ring entrances. The lovely Miss Elizabeth takes pains to be on the opposite side of the ring as Virgil throughout the entire match in spite of the face that Savage is DiBiase’s partner in this match. She clearly doesn’t like being associated with DiBiase or his bodyguard/personal assistant. The action begins as soon as Cage makes his way down to the ring. The goes after DiBiase, who flees from the ring. Savage attacks Cage and appears to be on the same page as DiBiase and Virgil. A 3-on-1 beatdown takes place before the match even begins, but then STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! Arrives on the scene and proves that he doesn’t back down from anyone by taking the fight to Savage, DiBiase and Virgil. He ends up throwing Virgil ring over the English announce table and into the laps of Ed Whalen and Lord Alfred Hayes. Austin brawls around ringside with Savage. DiBiase tries to maintain the attack on Cage, but he recovers, overtakes the Million Dollar Man and slams him into various objects around ringside before sending him into the ring to officially start the match. Cage works over DiBiase until Savage finds an opportunity to stick his knee through the ropes and hit Cage in the kidneys as he turns to bounce off of the ropes. This enables DiBiase to follow up with two vertical suplexes before tagging out. Now, Savage and DiBiase take turns pummeling Cage. Surprinsingly, they look like a cohesive unit as they make frequent tags and work well as a team as they execute a few double team moves, as well. Moreover, both Savage and DiBiase are opportunistic in using illegal chokeholds, eye rakes and common cheating tactics against Cage. All of this goes undetected by the referee thanks to distractions from the man on the apron or Virgil. They also double team Cage when the referee turns his back on them to try to force Austin back on the ring apron, as he grows tired of all of the cheating from the other team and decides to do something about it.
Cage is nearly put away on a few pinfall attempts, but he finally stops his opponents’ attack when DiBiase gives him a cross-corner whip and follows closely behind only to be given a corner springboard sunset flip for a 2-count. They both get up and Cage ducks a running clothesline and lands a spinning heel kick. He starts moving to the corner, but DiBiase drags him back towards the centre of the ring. However, Cage manages to get up while his foot is still being held and connects with an enziguri kick! Both Cage and DiBiase go for tags. DiBiase tags out first. Savage runs to stop Cage, but he makes the tag and Austin comes in like a bat out of hell, taking Savage down with a Lou Thesz press. He gets up when he sees DiBiase coming and he meets him with a pile of right hands, then clotheslines him over and ropes and onto the floor. Savage is up and Austin gives him several more right hands. He goes for a whip, but Savage reverses it and sets up for a back body drop. Austin kicks him and then takes him down with a lariat. Austin bounces off of the ropes and gives the double-bird salute running elbow drop, then hooks the leg. Savage kicks out! Austin picks him up and gives him a vertical suplex, then he goes to the second rope for his signature diving elbow, but calls an audible and gives Virgil a diving double axehandle to the forehead after he climbs onto the ring apron. The distraction gives Savage a chance to put Austin on his back by giving him a hangman across the top rope! Savage can’t take advantage, however, as Cage takes him out with a running cross-body from the ring apron! While the referee tries to get some order on the outside of the ring, DiBiase enters the ring and gives Austin a low blow from behind. Then, he puts him in the Million Dollar Dream and gets him to pass out and then leaves him lying on the mat and returns to his corner. After the referee forces Cage back to his team’s corner, Savage rolls into the ring and covers Austin, who is out cold on the mat. 1…2… shoulder up! DiBiase can’t believe it!
Savage picks up Austin and gives him a bodyslam. He climbs the turnbuckle and points to the heavens! He goes for his patented flying elbow drop, but Austin rolls out of the way! Both men get up at the same time. They lay into each other with chops. Austin starts connecting with several in a row. He kicks Savage and goes for the Stunner, but Savage shoves him into the ropes, then knocks him down with a running elbow smash. However, Cage made the blind tag and he comes in and does a number on Savage. Cage sends Savage into the ropes and gives him a flapjack! He heads to the corner and waits for a spear. Savage gets and Cage goes for it, but Savage moves out of the way. Cage slams into the turnbuckle! Savage tags out. DiBiase comes in and immediately applies the Million Dollar Dream! Austin rushes in and breaks it up within seconds. Savage rushes in and all hell breaks loose. A giant melee ensues and it culminates with Cage going for the Unprettier on DiBiase, only be pushed away. As he’s pushed away, Austin kicks Savage, but then gets hit in the back. Without looking he grabs the man behind him and gives him the Stone Cold Stunner! But it was Cage! Savage jumps Austin as DiBiase takes advantage and pins Cage. 1…2…3!
Savage and DiBiase are victorious! With Cage down and out, Virgil enters the ring. He and DiBiase help Savage put the boots to Austin. Miss Elizabeth tells the Macho Man that the match is over and urges him to leave the ring with her, but he won’t hear any of it and continues the assault on the Mash-Up World Champion until he’s been able to mount the top turnbuckle and land a flying elbow drop right down into the STONE COLD heart of the Texas Rattlesnake! Virgil and DiBiase leaves the ring, celebrating DiBiase’s pinfall over the true International Heavyweight Champion, by continuing to hold onto his title belt and the Macho Man finishes off the evening by taking Stone Cold’s 6-pack of beer from the timekeeper’s position, opening each can one at a time, guzzling a bit of it and then crushing each can with a double foot stomp on Austin’s chest! The Mash-Up World and AGPW International Heavyweight Champions have been felled by their respective JOURNEY TO GREATNESS challengers. Will “Stone Cold” Steven Austin and Christian Cage rebound and retain their respective titles at the big show in two weeks or will there be new champions crowned at JOURNEY TO GREATNESS? Tune in on May 31 to find out!
Official Decision: “Macho Man” Randy Savage & “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase win by pinfall
