VS.

Taylor Wilde vs. Gail Kim

Tonight’s show begins with a contest between two native of Toronto, both of whom are a little miffed about not getting to perform in a match in front of their hometown fans at last week’s TAKEOVER IN TORONTO. Both of them use that as an incentive to push themselves in this competitive friendly match. In the case of Gail Kim, she’s actually been absent from AGPW for the past two months, recovering from an injury she sustained in her last match. She shows no signs of injury in this match and looks to be in top form. Both wrestlers bring the crowd to their feet with their quick paced offence and high risk maneuvers, showing us that it isn’t just the men who will put their bodies at risk in heat of battle. Both women use the ropes as springboards to execute arm drags, clotheslines, cross body blocks, dropkicks and hurricanranas. They seem to be trying their hardest to match each other move for move. However, one area where Wilde cannot match Kim is in technical wrestling acumen. Still, she’s a spirited competitor who manages to impress with a reversal of an over-the-shoulder single leg crab into a monkey flip! But when she tries to follow that move up with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors, Kim counters it into a backbreaker. Kim pins her for a 2-count. She tries to go for her finisher, Eat Defeat, but Wilde blocks it and sends her running into the ropes. Kim comes back and goes for tilt-a-whirl headscissors into an armbar. It’s the Flying Dragon! There is very little that Wilde can do to escape the hold and she’s unable to get to the ropes. Instead, she spins and falls off of her feet to slam Kim into the mat. Kim maintains her grip on the hold and Wilde does everything she can to turn enough to get Kim’s shoulders to touch the mat. The referee calls for the bell. Kim breaks the hold, thinking that Wilde submitted but then learns that the referee has awarded the match to Wilde by pinfall! Kim is surprised and upset at the ruling, having been handed the loss in this exciting 12-minute show opener.

Official Decision: Taylor Wilde wins by pinfall

*Commercial Break 1*

Jeremy Borash is standing by with AGPW Commissioner Billy Two Rivers. Borash tells us that Two Rivers has asked him for a moment of his time to make a very special announcement. After exchanging pleasantries, Borash asks Two Rivers what his special announcement is and he informs him that due to committing actions that unbecoming of an Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling superstar at TAKEOVER IN TORONTO, which includes the necessary hospitalization of the first lady of wrestling, the lovely Miss Elizabeth, and conducting a brutal physical assault on himself, the Commissioner of AGPW, he regrets to announce that the “Macho King” Randy Savage and his manager, Sensational Queen Sherri, have both been suspended indefinitely from AGPW.

Moving on to another subject, Borash asks the Commissioner how the AGPW brass is reacting to the fact that all of its championship title belts are currently held by members of Californiacation, the group that intends to destroy AGPW. Two Rivers tells him that right now is the worst time it has ever been to be the Commissioner of AGPW. Both he and Emile Duprée have been in intense discussions about how to move forward and try to eliminate the threat posed to AGPW by this group of outsiders. They’ve talked about how to return all of the titles to AGPW, finding out who the group’s mystery bankroller is, getting to the bottom of who authorized the 8-man tag team match won by Californiacation to receive title shots at TAKEOVER IN TORONTO, and who was the masked man who helped “Superstar” Billy Graham defeat Christian Cage to win the International Heavyweight Champion at that very same event. He plans on confronting “Classy” Freddie Blassie to get some real answers later tonight!

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE COMMISSIONER:
MACHO KING AND SENSATIONAL QUEEN ARE SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY

VS.

Taz vs. Johnny Devine

This match is simply a platform for Taz to compete in his AGPW singles match debut on DSN. Having already debuted last week as the surprise mystery partner of Cesaro in a tag team bout against Maximum Brute Force, Taz has already announced to the world that he is here and that he means business. This match allows him to establish his presence and cement that message as he manhandles Johnny Devine. A plethora of vicious suplex by the Human Suplex Machine leaves Devine in a world of hurt and makes him easy pickings for a submission victory by way of the Tazmission!

After the match, Taz cuts his debut promo giving the Swiss Superman a shout out for bringing him into AGPW last week at TAKEOVER IN TORONTO and puts everyone else on notice: when he steps into the ring, he is the most miserable son of a bitch on the planet, and he is not to be taken lightly. He finishes off by challenging AGPW to “beat me if you can; survive if I let you.”

Official Decision: Taz wins by submission

Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch find Bo Dallas in the backstage area. They approach him, shake his hand and thank him for his inspirational advice, which he gave to them two weeks ago. They tell him that they BOLIEVE that things are about to turn around for them starting tonight. They’ve hired a new manager to help keep them motivated and to reinforce their new BOLIEF system of being great sportsman during their match. He will constantly remind them of what they need to do to rise to the top of the AGPW ranks and he will be revealed tonight when they have a match against the former North American Tag Team Champions, Leo Burke & Rowdy Roddy Piper. Dallas tells them that he is very happy for them and that he BOLIEVES that they will show the entire world what a little bit of good sportsmanship, positive BOLIEVING and great management can do!

*Commercial Break 2*

She’s Here!

VS.

Paige vs. Allison Danger

This is the debut of the highly touted rookie, Paige. She is facing the tough as nails veteran, Allison Danger. They are evenly matched in the early going, but Paige takes control on a boot to the face, followed by multiple headbutts and then a running clothesline. Paige maintains control of the match until Danger counters an Irish whip attempt and then executes a spinebuster on Paige! Danger takes control of the match by executing several high impact maneuvers. It looks as though Paige is going to be defeated, but pinfall attempts that follow a tornado DDT, death valley driver and a shimmering warlock kick fail to put Paige away. Danger looks frustrated and has a brief argument with the referee before picking up Paige to go for an Oklahoma roll. However, counters it with a Paige Turner! Paige is too beat up to make the pin and both wrestlers get up at the same time. Paige blocks a strike attempt and fires back with some chops, a couple more headbutts and then some short-arm clotheslines before finishing off her flurry of moves with a Ram-Paige (cradle DDT)! She covers Danger for the 3-count and the victory in her AGPW debut.

Official Decision: Paige wins by pinfall

Jeremy Borash is standing by to get a few words from the AGPW Women’s Champion, “The Big Event” Trish Stratus. The Hollywood A-Lister begins by thanking her hometown, Toronto, Ontario, for showing her its support when she fought and beat Chyna last week at TAKEOVER IN TORONTO. Clearly out of touch with what actually happened, she claims that she fed off of the support of her cheering fans as she proved to be the best Torontonian in all of professional wrestler as exemplified by her being the only Torontonian to successfully defend a championship title in from her hometown (taking a shot at Christian Cage, or so it seems). When asked about who she thinks might step up to face her next, “The Big Event” says she doesn’t care who steps up because she’ll push them down, no matter who it is. And when asked for her opinion of the newest woman in AGPW, Paige, Trish yawns and tells Borash to call her when someone impressive makes her debut.

SoCal Val catches up with Paige in the backstage area to congratulate her and to get her thoughts about winning her debut match and finally arriving on the Mash-Up Wrestling scene. Paige tells us that she is happy to get her first match done and out of the way with. She says that Danger put up a good fight and congratulations her on a hard fought match, but wants to point out that she was the better wrestler on this nice. Then, she tells us that we can expect more of her being the better wrestler of the night through the future because she’s here to prove that she is the best wrestler on the planet, which is why she came to compete and rise to the top of the best women’s wrestling division in all of Mash-Up Wrestling.

*Commercial Break 3*

Before our next match begins, Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch come to the ring and reveal that they are now supremely confident sportsmen who BOLIEVE that they can win any contest in which they compete and, should by some miracle they fail, they will admit that the other contestants were their superiors and still shake their hands. Along with this new, increasingly positive attitude and BOLIEF in themselves, they will from this point forward be known as the Redneck Wrecking Crew and they will be managed by the only voice in professional wrestling who truly gets how they are trying to rewrite their path to the top – “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart!

VS.

Leo Burke & Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. The Redneck Wrecking Crew w/ “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart

The beginning of this match resembles a Ring of Honor contest as the Redneck Wrecking Crew insist upon shaking hands with Leo Burke and Rowdy Roddy Piper, the latter of whom is somewhat hesitant and suspicious of their intent. Burke insists that Piper show them the same courtesy that they are showing him, which gets Burke and Piper into a brief argument. Piper eventually shakes hands with his opponents, who prove that they have no ulterior motives.

In the match itself, Burke and Piper establish control in the early going with a double dropkick on Murdoch and a double vertical suplex on Cade. They make quick tags and work on his shoulders and neck with armbars, headlocks, neckbreakers, suplexes and double team moves. Jimmy Hart urges him not to give up. With his megaphone on full blast, he coaches him to stay focused and urges him to keep BOLIEVING in himself. Then, Cade finds an opening when Burke goes for a charging shoulderblock tackle into the corner. Cade moves out of the way and Burke hits the turnbuckle post with his shoulder. Cade tags out and Murdoch takes over. Murdoch dominates Burke with power moves, but sets up for the Ace of Spades too soon and Burke body drops his way out of it. A hot tag to Piper sees him take the fight to both rednecks. When they take advantage of the 5-second double team clock, Burke climbs the turnbuckle and attempts to break things up with a missile dropkick, but the rednecks see it coming and cause him to hit Piper instead! The rednecks give Burke a double superkick! Then, after another quick tag they finish Piper off with their double team finisher, Sweet ‘n Sour, and pin him for the win.

Following the match, Cade and Murdoch shake Burke’s hand and thank him for an excellent contest, while Piper refuses a handshake and leaves ringside with smoke coming out of his ears.

Official Decision: Redneck Wrecking Crew wins by pinfall

*Commercial Break 4*

VS. VS. VS.

Cesaro vs. Dean Malenko vs. Goldust vs. Édouard Carpentier

This fatal fourway match is the sort of mid-card workrate dream match that can only exist in the Mash-Up Wrestling Universe. There are a variety of technical wrestling styles on display in this match, which adds rather than subtracts from the quality of the action. Cesaro brings a touch of European power and technique into the contest. Carpentier, who also originates from Europe, brings an old-school catch game mixed in with some acrobatic and high flying moves to the squared circle. Malenko shows us some crisp technical wrestling into the ring. And Goldust shows off a classic southern moveset that is equal parts technically sound and ready for a bar room brawl. It all comes together to give us nearly 15-minutes of non-stop quality action, in which each man takes a turn setting the pace, but also taking a beating. The match builds to a dramatic climax where high impact maneuvers are coming fast and furious with Carpentier giving Malenko his flying headscissors and a standing senton bomb. He goes for the pin, but Goldust breaks it up and gives Carpentier the Final Cut! Before he can pin him, Cesaro drops him with a springboard European uppercut and then gives him the Neutralizer. He pins. 1…2… Malenko pulls the pin apart by applying the Texas cloverleaf to Cesaro and forcing him to tap out after a good half a minute of trying but failing to break the hold! The Iceman proves once again why it’s a mistake to count him out of any contest.

Official Decision: Dean Malenko wins by submission

*Commercial Break 5*

Bo Dallas makes a very inspirational entrance into the arena. He comes to the ring and takes a microphone. Dallas tells everyone how happy it makes him feel when he sees people who are inspired by his message that all you have to do to succeed is BOLIEVE to achieve great success. We were all witness to that a little earlier on when the Redneck Wrecking Crew defeated former AGPW North American Tag Team Champions Leo Burke and Rowdy Roddy Piper. It feels him with such pride and renews his own BOLIEF in himself. It makes him BOLIEVE that he can anything. So with that in mind, he wants to show the few remaining non-BOLIEVERS among us the power of positive thinking – the power of BOLIEVING! Dallas issues an open challenge to any heavyweight champion in the Mash-Up Universe to face him right now in a 1-on-1 match, which he promises to win because all he has to do is BOLIEVE!

HUSTLE, LOYALTY AND RESPECT!
THE CHAMP IS HERE!

Wait a minute! That’s not John Cena! It’s the Blue Meanie! He announces himself as The Blue Cena, the Heavyweight Champion of Blue City Championship Wrestling, and he tells us that he has a message about hustle, loyalty and respect to teach us. He goes on to tell us that Bo Dallas is just another pretender because his time is up and The Blue Cena’s time is now!

BCCW Heavyweight Champion: The Blue Cena vs. Bo Dallas

Dallas and The Blue Cena lock up. After a 10-second back-and-forth grapple, Dallas gets him in a headlock and gives him the Bo-Dog! He pins. 1…2…3! Bo Dallas has done it! He’s beaten the Blue City Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Champion in under 20 seconds! If that doesn’t make you BOLIEVE, then I don’t know what will!

Official Decision: Bo Dallas wins by pinfall

From the defeat of one supposed Heavyweight Champion to a man who was just defeated for his Heavyweight Champion a week ago. We now go to SoCal Val, who is with “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage and he’s in a very foul mood. He tells Val that he is upset that he was unjustly and unceremoniously forced to part with the International Heavyweight Championship when a masked assailant gave him a con-chair-to, which left his ears ringing for half the week, and led to him being pinned by “Superstar” Billy Graham for his title. The title, he says, rightfully belongs to him and he plans on getting it back. However, he also plans on finding out who this masked man is and then making him pay the biggest price of his entire life for costing him the AGPW International Heavyweight Championship!

*Commercial Break 6*

VS.

Kevin Steen vs. Owen Hart

This is a rematch of sorts of their bout from just one week ago. At TAKEOVER IN TORONTO, both men were on opposite teams in a 6-man tag team street fight. Here, they go into one-on-one action and compete under normal professional wrestling rules. The match begins with Kevin Steen taking control of the bout, but some underhanded moves and bending of the rules allows Owen Hart to take control of the contest. They keep it inside the ring for a quite a while until Hart decides to leave the ring to gain some separation from Steen. He did this after missing a superkick and then being superkicked himself. Steen went for the pin, but Hart kicked out and while Steen questioned the referee’s count, Hart escaped from the ring. However, Steen wouldn’t let him rest. He followed him outside and continued his attack. However, after whipping Hart into the guardrail, Steen charged at him and hit his head and shoulder against it because Hart moved out of the way. Hart stayed on him with some hard chops and right hands and then slammed his face off of the ring steps before giving him an overhead belly-to-belly suplex on the floor. By this point, the referee had called for the bell, ending the match due to a double countout. However, Hart wasn’t finished. He ripped up an area of the floor mats to expose the concrete and announced his intention to break Steen’s neck. He picked up Steen and took him over to the exposed floor. He set him up for a piledriver and nearly pulled off the move, but Steen got back to his feet and gave Hart a back body drop. Then, Steen decided he would piledrive Hart. He started to fold up Hart for a package piledriver, but then Hart started headbutting his way out of it and gave Steen an enzuigiri kick! When he tried to continue the assault, there were finally enough officials on the scene to prevent the fight from continuing any further.

Official Decision: Double Countout

*Commercial Break 7*

Welcome to the Highlight Reel with Chris Jericho! This is the first Highlight Reel on AGPW. AGPW has a bounty of interview programs, what with the Piper’s Pit and the Honour Roll and now the Hightlight Reel! And Jericho couldn’t have landed a better guest star for his debut episode – none other than the brand new AGPW International Heavyweight Champion, “Superstar” Billy Graham (and his manager “Classy” Freddie Blassie). Jericho doesn’t toss softballs. He asks the hard questions about whether they can honestly say that it is fair for them to be holding all of AGPW’s titles hostage, let alone to be competing in AGPW, given their agenda; the identity of Californiacation’s secret investor and whether he was really, truly in the Air Canada Centre as Blassie had said he was; the identity of the masked man and whether he got his horrible red-and-green ensemble at a Value Village or Salvation Army thrift store; and whether Californiacation will try to bar the most deserving competitors from competing against it when each wrestler must defend his or her titles.

For their part, Graham and Blassie give Jericho a spirited and animated defence of Californiacation holding all of the gold in the company, as well as its right to exist and compete in AGPW, citing the fact that they all were legally signed to contracts before revealing what their true motives for coming to this company really were. They reveal that the secret investor was in the building, but refuse to say who he is, and only that he will reveal himself at whatever time he sees fit. They go on to say that he is extremely proud of them and happy for all of their hard work and believes that Californiacation is on the threshold of doing irreversible damage to AGPW by getting all of its hardware. They dance around questions of the identity of the masked man. They try to change the subject and accuse Jericho of having an axe to grind because he is a personal friend of Christian Cage. They say that they will abide by the rules of the company’s constitution and defend the titles once every 31 days, but that they will refuse to defend them any more than necessary because it doesn’t make good business sense to give Emile Duprée and Commissioner Billy Two Rivers even the faintest sliver of hope that a million opportunities to contest for the titles gives AGPW a fighting chance to somehow conquer and defeat Californiacation.

Once their names are spoken, Jericho takes it upon himself to invite the owner and the commissioner to join the show. Blassie and Graham welcome the invitation, so that Graham can flaunt the International Heavyweight Champion, which he wears around his waist, right before their very eyes. They think that Duprée and Two Rivers will then realize just how hopeless it is to try to get the title off of the Tower of Power. Duprée and Two Rivers come to the ring and tell them that the games stop right here, right now! They will not allow either of Blassie or Graham to leave the ring tonight without finding out who is paying them to try to ruin the company from within. They refuse to say anything and then…

Christian Cage arrives on the scene and tells Duprée and Two Rivers not to worry because he’s going to beat the answer out of Graham and Blassie for them. Cage rushes to the ring. Blassie gives Graham his cane and gets out of harm’s way. Graham takes a swing at Cage, but misses. Then Cage takes him down with a spear!

But as soon as the International Heavyweight Champion is laid out on the mat, the North American Tag Team Champions, Bad Influence, hit the scene to attack Cage, which prompts Jericho to jump to his buddy’s defence. The four of them brawl until…

The masked man who cost Christian Cage the International Heavyweight Championship at TAKEOVER IN TORONTO shows up and tilts the fight in the favour of Bad Influence by giving Jericho and Cage both shots from a kendo stick! Eventually, Édouard Carpentier comes out, but the numbers favour Californiacation 4-to-3 and this leads to Christopher Daniels and Kazarian holding Carpentier and Jericho for Graham to smash them both in the head with the International Heavyweight Championship title belt, before triple powerbombing both of them through the French and English play-by-play tables. Meanwhile, the masked man makes a mess of Cage by giving him a number of shots from his kendo stick and then finishing him off by putting his head through the obscenely, ridiculously, unimaginably expensive Jeritron 5000! After the fighting has stopped and once Cage, Jericho and Carpentier have all been laid to waste, Duprée confronts the masked man, demanding that he take off his mask and tells him that he has absolutely no right to be in an AGPW ring. Then, the masked man rips the microphone from out of Duprée’s hands and says, “Yes, I do, papa! C’est moi!” Then he removes his mask to reveal that it is…

René Duprée!

Card to Be Determined

This has been a presentation of
