This week’s show opens with the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair and René Duprée coming to the ring to celebrate and gloat about pulling the wool over the eyes of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling. International Heavyweight Champion, “Superstar” Billy Graham and the brains behind Californiacation, “Classy” Freddie Blassie, also come to the ring to join in the celebration and offer their congratulations to the Nature Boy on his historic victory. Flair is the record holding 16-time World Champion and there is no one – absolutely no one – more qualified to steal kisses from your girlfriends and win World Championships in the same night as the Nature Boy! Woooo!!!
Duprée says that he reached out to the Nature Boy and invited him to come to AGPW for a chance of a lifetime. A chance and an opportunity to do something that because of the internal politics of other territories, he would not be given elsewhere – and that was the chance to win the right to compete for the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Champion. And why did he invite the Nature Boy to come to AGPW and enter into last week’s 25-man battle royal? To stick it to his father, Emile Duprée! Now, Californication holds all of the title belts in AGPW and an associated colleague – and former Illuminati pal – “Nature Boy” Ric Flair is your #1 contender and challenger to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s Mash-Up World Heavyweight Championship at MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL 2014 on October 12, 2014!
The Nature Boy cuts a brief promo about how his expensive suit, shoes, and gold watches are status symbols that show he gets paid big money, and the reason he gets paid big money is because he’s the greatest professional wrestling walking God’s green Earth! Woooo!!! And that should give Austin reason to fear that he will lose the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Champion to the stylin’ and profilin’ Nature Boy! Woooo!!!
Cue the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rollah and Captain Charisma! It’s Vitamin C! Chris Jericho and Christian Cage come out on the entrance set and say that they take issue with how things went down last week. They believe that Flair had no right to compete in the battle royal and win the title shot against “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s Mash-Up World Heavyweight Championship at MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL 2014 on October 12, 2014! Plus, they have unfinished business with the other ass clowns assembled in the ring, most notably René Duprée, who directly cost Christian Cage the International Heavyweight Champion in his title defence against “Superstar” Billy Graham. They note that Duprée’s ‘neck injury’ appears to have healed, so they’re ready to get payback against him. Flair, Graham, Duprée and Blassie all take turns insulting the pair of Canadian vanilla midgets who dares to think that they can come out here while they are outnumbered and exact any sort of measure of revenge against them for all of their ‘perceived’ wrong-doings.
That’s when Commissioner Billy Two Rivers arrives on the scene to announce that Chris Jericho and Christian Cage are not outnumbered because they have the full support of the office of the Commissioner and the owner of AGPW, René Duprée’s father, Emile Duprée. And the because they fully support their homegrown, Canadian, wrestling talent and plan on defending AGPW’s interests and brand to the very best of their abilities, they’ve decided that now is the time to stop René’s momentum in its track. Now is the time to fight back against Californiacation and to prevent Ric Flair from making an embarrassment out of AGPW. Now is the time to bring the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be to an AGPW wrestling ring to put a stop to all of this madness!
Bret “The Hitman” Hart is here!
The Hitman comes out and gets the crowd firmly behind him, channeling his anti-American persona (circa 1997) with a fiercely patriotic promo in which he talks about Canada being the country that produces the best wrestlers in the entire world – men like Chris Jericho, Christian Cage, Leo Burke, Lance Storm, Tyson Kidd, etc. – and how no collection of Americans can expect to simply walk onto Canadian soil and into a Canadian professional wrestling company, and expect to take it over or put it out of business. He fingers out René Duprée and accuses him of being a treasonous turncoat for what he’s tried to do to this company and he guarantees that the Canadian men and women of Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling will begin to win the war against the Californians starting tonight!
Then, Commissioner Billy Two Rivers makes two announcements: while he can’t take Ric Flair’s title shot at the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Championship away from him, it doesn’t mean that he can’t do everything in his power to make sure Flair doesn’t win the title. So, the title match will now be a Triple Threat Iron Man Match between “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair and Bret “The Hitman” Hart! Moreover, tonight’s main event will be a 6-man tag team match between Flair, Graham & Duprée and Jericho, Cage & Hart! The men inside of the ring are angry beyond belief. Flair has turned completely red and has started kicking the ropes and ripping his clothing off in classic Nature Boy style! However, the decisions are final. At MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL 2014 on October 12, 2014, there will a Triple Threat Iron Man Match for the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Championship: “Stone Cold” Steve Austin versus “Nature Boy” Ric Flair versus Bret “The Hitman” Hart!
*Commercial Break 1*
VS. 
Redneck Wrecking Crew w/ Jimmy Hart vs. Tazaro
After some motivational speeches and advice from Bo Dallas, the formerly down on their luck Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, hired a motivational manager in “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart and renamed themselves the Redneck Wrecking Crew. They’ve refound their old winning ways, but now enter this match against the formidable pairing of Taz and Cesaro. This match is a smash mouth slobberknocker. Everyone hits everyone else with hard punches, stiff chops, thunderous clotheslines and lariats, and there are plenty of suplexes to go around. The Rednecks match Taz and Cesaro’s every suplex and slam with some of their own. When the match eventually spills out to the floor, it turns into a pier four brawl, ringsteps get dislodged and guardrails get shifted around when bodies go smashing into them. Taz takes out Cade with a release German suplex into the side of some ringsteps! Trevor Murdoch makes Cesaro suffer with a back body drop over the guardrail and into the first row of seats! Taz and Murdoch both meet back in the ring, throwing stiff soup bones at one another. Murdoch staggers Taz and then bounces off of the ropes, going for a big boot, but Taz ducks it. When Murdoch turns back around, Taz sends him across the ring with a head-and-arm suplex. Then, he drops Murdoch a few more times with some Angry Man’s Clotheslines before locking on the Tazmission to force Murdoch to submit.
Official Decision: Tazaro wins by submission

Jazz vs. Courtney Rush vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Ivelisse Vélez
This week’s featured fatal fourway match is a women’s division all-debut contest. Tonight, we see the debuts of four women who are all new to AGPW. First, there is the 2-time WWE Women’s Champion, Jazz. She’s as mean and nasty as they come. Next, there is Canadian native, Courtney Rush, who has made a name for herself on the independent wrestling scene. She is a former Shine Tag Team Champion with Sara Del Rey. Next, there is the second generation superstar, Charlotte Flair. She has won the NXT Women’s Championship and follows in the footsteps of professional wrestling’s most prolific World Champion ever – the “Nature Boy” Rick Flair! Finally, there is the current Shine World Champion, hailing from Puerto Rico, Ivelisse Vélez. The amount of wrestling talent debuting in this one wrestling match is just too unbelievable to think about. The match gets around a dozen minutes and everyone gets a chance to shine. Jazz impresses with her power and strength. Rush shows off a propensity for executing crisp suplexes and tries to make her opponents submit to various leg-based submission holds. Flair borrows liberally from her legendary father’s playbook, but also uses her high advantage, natural athleticism and long legs to make her opponents suffer with both figure four leglocks and figure four headscissor chokeholds. Vélez shows off her lucha skills and pops the crowd by flying high in the air. She takes risks, some of which pay off, but some that don’t, including a diving hurricanran attempt on Jazz, which gets countered into a falling powerbomb. Having just knocked Rush out of the ring with a vicious back spin kick, Flair seizes the opportunity to execute her finisher, Natural Selection, to Jazz before she can get the pin on Vélez. Flair gets the 3-count and earns the victory in her AGPW debut.
Official Decision: Charlotte Flair wins by pinfall
*Commercial Break 3*
VS. 
Édouard Carpentier vs. “The Iceman” Dean Malenko
This is the second match between Édouard Carpentier and Dean Malenko in under a month. Three weeks ago, the two grapplers battled to a 20-minute time limit draw after both men matched each other move-for-move. It ended in a time limit draw, while Malenko had Carpentier locked in the Texas cloverleaf and appeared to be on the verge of earning a submission victory. Malenko is more aggressive with his attack in the early moments of this match. He’s intent on proving that he deserved to be named the victor of their last match. Carpentier weathers the storm and turns the tide when Malenko tries to give him a frankensteiner. Carpentier holds onto the top rope and then executes a diving cross body into a lateral press for a 2-count. When they get up, Carpentier flings Malenko around the ring with a series of arm drag takedowns and then takes him down with a dropkick and gives him a standing somersault senton bomb that only gets a 2-count. Carpentier changes gears. He slows the pace down by employing an attack consisting of a series of limb stretching holds, mostly concentrated on Malenko’s arms. Malenko eventually fights his way back into control of the match, but with weak arms, he struggles to lift Carpentier, so he uses a variety of kicks and executes some tilt-a-whirl headscissors and a diving hurricanrana into a pin for a long 2-count. Malenko goes for a tornado DDT, but Carpentier falls back on his gymnastics training to stop short of his head hitting the mat and handspringing himself up to his feet. When Malenko gets back up, Carpentier lays into him with some stiff chops, then gives him an Irish whip into the far corner. He rushes in and goes for a shoulderblock, but Malenko moves. He pulls Carpentier out of the corner after his shoulder smacks into the ringpost and rolls him up in a school-boy for a 2-count. Carpentier ducks a clothesline and pulls Malenko down into a backslide for two. Next, they make several pin and counter-pin attempts, but no one collects the victory. After a back and forth small package, Carpentier tries to clothesline Malenko over the ropes, but he lifts Carpentier up for a body drop. He lands on the ring apron and tries to give Malenko a vertical suplex, but he lands on the ring apron, kicks Carpentier and gives him a DDT on the ring apron! Malenko slides back into the ring and tries to earn a countout victory, but Carpentier gets up just in time. Malenko tries to give him a baseball slide to keep him out of the ring, but Carpentier side steps it and gets into a fist fight with Malenko. They continue to brawl until both men are counted out by the referee. Their second battle resolves nothing. We still don’t know who the better wrestler is.
Official Decision: Double Countout
*Commercial Break 4*
Rowdy Roddy Piper hosts The Piper’s Pit and his guest on this broadcast is “Mr. Wrestling” Kevin Steen. He asks Steen what condition he is in following the nasty piledriver on the concrete floor that he received from Owen Hart. Steen claims that he is 100%, but Piper notes Hart’s reputation for breaking necks with the move – most notably that of the current Mash-Up World Champion “Stone Cold” Steve Austin – and believes that Steen isn’t being honest with us, especially since he failed to place well in last week’s 25-man battle royal. Steen gets steamed at Piper and tells him that his condition is really none of his business, but has answered the question to reassure his fans that he is fine. Piper wants to know what Steen really, truly thinks of Owen Hart, and Steen sounds off on the King of Harts. He uses quite a lot of colourful language in saying that he really doesn’t like him and wants to get him inside of the ring one more time to give Hart what has long been coming to him.
Piper starts digging at Steen with insults and by talking about how great Owen Hart is. Steen, who is visibly fed up with Piper, says that he’s heard enough of Piper verbally fellating Hart and gets up to leave. However, the entire segment appears to have been a set up. When Steen turns to leave the ring, he gets met with a kendo stick shot to the head from Hart! Hart continues to attack Steen and is cheered on by Piper. Just as Hart sets up to give Steen a piledriver, Leo Burke rushes out to make the save. He swings a chair around, which gets Hart and Piper to leave the ring. Burke hasn’t forgotten about how Piper mistreated him and turned on him at the end of their last match together as a tag team. He picks up the discarded microphone and cuts a promo on Piper on that subject and then issues a challenge to Piper to face him in a grudge match at MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL 2014 on October 12, 2014! Former North American Tag Team Champions are set to come to blows inside of the ring at MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL 2014!
Plus, later in the broadcast, we learn from Ed Whalen and Lord Alfred Hayes that Commissioner Billy Two Rivers has announced that Rowdy Roddy Piper and Owen Hart will face Leo Burke and Kevin Steen in a tag team match next week on DSN! In addition to that, we learn that Commissioner Billy Two Rivers has added a match between Kevin Steen and Owen Hart to the card for MAYHEM IN MONTRÉAL 2014 and the loser will be barred from using the piledriver in AGPW ever again!
*Commercial Break 5*
VS. 
The Stampeders vs. The Brain Busters
This an evenly fought contest between two excellent teams with very different styles. The Brain Busters are punishers, particularly Arn Anderson who brings big power moves into the match. The Stampeders are a well-rounded team with a proficiency for technical wrestling, which they compliment with speed and an above average aerial attack. Lance Storm and Tyson Kidd use their speed well in the early going to take the advantage in the match, but a powerslam by Anderson on Kidd puts the Brain Busters in control and makes Kidd play the role of Ricky Morton as Anderson and Tully Blanchard take turns wearing him down with a variety of suplexes. Anderson and Blanchard remain in control for a long time, but when Blanchard goes for a diving sunset flip pin on Kidd, he rolls through and hits Blanchard square in the chest with a low-angle running front dropkick. Kidd uses his feet again, giving Blanchard a variety of shoot kicks before giving him a bridging northern lights suplex for a 2-count. When they both get up again, Kidd ducks a clothesline attempt, hits Blanchard with a spinning heel kick and then makes the hot tag. Storm comes in and goes to town on Blanchard. Anderson tries to halt his momentum, but gets a superkick for his troubles. Still, Blanchard manages to stop Storm’s progress with a slingshot suplex. A tag to Anderson sees the Brain Busters give Storm a delayed double vertical suplex and then they set up for the spike piledriver. However, Kidd comes off of the top rope and takes Blanchard out with a blockbuster! Then Storm executes a back body drop on Anderson. Storm goes for the sharpshooter, but Anderson wiggles enough to stay on his back and get to the ropes. After getting the rope break, Anderson goes for a running clothesline, but Storm ducks it and then goes running to the ropes and ends up receiving the Double A Spinebuster! He covers, but Kidd breaks it up. Blanchard returns to the ring and at this point things break down. The referee is unable to get either of the non-legal men out to the ring apron, so he decides to end the match, calling it a no contest.
Official Decision: No contest
*Commercial Break 6*
VS. 
Chris Candido vs. Killer Kowalski
Chris Candido has the unenviable task of entering the ring to face the notorious Killer Kowalski in his AGPW singles match debut. The Canadian grappler from Windsor, Ontario made his first appearance in AGPW two weeks ago when he viciously assaulted Samoa Joe, costing him not only his opportunity to win the International Heavyweight Champion, but also his undefeated streak. Although he hasn’t spoken publicly about his reasons for attack Joe, money was most certainly a major motivating factor as Kowalski accepted a large cash payment from “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase after he bloodied the Samoan Submission Machine. Then, last week, Kowalski finished third in a 25-man battle royal to earn a title shot against the Mash-Up World Heavyweight Champion. Here, Kowalski is dominant and finishes the match in about two and a half minutes with a Kowalski Claw.
Following the match, Jeremy Borash comes to ringside and attempts to get a statement from the Killer about why he attacked Samoa Joe in such a brutal fashion two weeks ago. Kowalski explains that he did it for the money. The most notorious and most dangerous man in all of professional wrestling is now here and he’d like everyone to know that, at the right price, he’ll annihilate your greater enemies for you. However, he also did it partly because Samoa Joe likes to tell people that he’s going to kill them and he wanted to show the world that there is no more of a murderous threat inside of the ring than himself. He tells Joe that if he wants to get his revenge, he’d be happy to shove Joe’s vengeance right back down his own throat with his two big claws and tear the Samoan Submission Machine in half with it.
Official Decision: Killer Kowalski wins by submission

VS. w/ 6-Man Tag Team Main Event
Bret “The Hitman” Hart, Chris Jericho & Christian Cage vs. “Superstar” Billy Graham, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair & René Duprée w/ “Classy” Freddie Blassie
Bret “The Hitman” Hart, Chris Jericho & Christian Cage vs. “Superstar” Billy Graham, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair & René Duprée w/ “Classy” Freddie Blassie
This star-studded 6-man tag team wrestling match is loaded with hall of fame talent. It features three hall of famers, two locks for future hall of fame induction, and one enormously talented individual with the chops to make it, but who had to leave the big time to get his head back on the right track. In the Mash-Up Wrestling Universe, those backstories hold some weight here, but they don’t automatically assume that the one man – René Duprée – who probably won’t make it into the Hall of Fame should be assumed as the weakest link in this match. After all, this is Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling, and this is his home. He literally grew up in AGPW. This is his territory, his father’s company, and this is his life. Duprée is a stud and he has the chops to hang with the rest of these men.
That being said, Duprée does his best not to have to hang with any of these men. He spends the majority of the match on the ring apron and only tags in when his team is at a clear advantage. Moreover, he makes a point of avoiding Christian Cage like the plague. When Chris Jericho lands on his feet on a back body drop attempt, hits Duprée with a spinning heel kick and then tags out to Cage, Duprée desperately lunges to his corner to tag in “Superstar” Billy Graham and avoid facing the vengeance of The Instant Classic. “Nature Boy” Ric Flair is the workhorse of his team. Graham gets plenty of action, too, but he usually comes in just to give Flair a few short breathers. After all, the Nature Boy has a point to prove – that he’s the best in the world and that he is the best conditioned athlete in the sport, today! Meanwhile, the all-Canadian squad, which are the overwhelming fan favourites here in St. John’s, Newfoundland – North America’s oldest city – take plenty of turns, making sure to keep each man fresh and to allow anyone who suffers a lot of damage plenty of time to recover. Bret “The Hitman” Hart is the sentimental favourite and captain of his all-Canadian team. Jericho and Cage are both enormously popular and over in their own right. However, Hart also making his surprise debut tonight, he is treated to a reception from the fans that is unrivaled. When he goes through the motions of setting up for the sharpshooter on the Nature Boy – a running bulldog, inverted atomic drop, side Russian legsweep, backbreaker and pointed elbow drop from the second rope – the fans pop like crazy!
As he tries to lock on the sharpshooter, Duprée clubs him down from behind to break it up. This prompts Cage to enter the ring and chase Duprée, who decides to run away, all the way to the backstage. When Hart and Flair get up, they trade blows. Flair brings the knife-edge chops and Hart throws right hands to the side of Flair’s head. As Hart starts to land multiple punches in succession, Flair stops his momentum with a thumb to the eye. He gives Hart a kneebreaker and then drops him on his back. He goes for the figure four leglock, but Hart boots him away with his free foot. After another heated exchange of chops and punches, both men run the ropes and, as they do, Graham and Jericho each make a blind tag. Hart and Flair end up knocked out in the middle of the ring, having both given each other a running clothesline! Graham comes in and goes to grab Hart, not knocking that he is no longer the legal man, which leaves him wide open to receive a missile dropkick! Jericho goes on a run of offense that leads up to him going for the Lionsault. Graham rolls away, but Jericho lands on his feet. He charges at Graham, who ducks out of the way and then Flair, standing on the ring apron, hangman’s Jericho across the top rope. He pulls Jericho outside and gives him some chops and then whips him into the guardrail. Graham tries to distract the referee, to buy Flair more time to do his damage, but Hart decides to attack him! Flair continues his assault on Jericho until he charges at him and gets a back body drop over the guardrail and onto the arena floor! Back in the ring, a distraction by “Classy” Freddie Blassie, allows Graham to kick Hart in the crotch and then bust his open by driving his face into an exposed turnbuckle rung. However, before he can do anything more, Jericho attacks Graham from behind with a one-handed bulldog and then executes the lionsault on the AGPW International Heavyweight Champion! He hooks both of Graham’s legs to get the 1…2…3! Chris Jericho has won the match for his team by pinning the International Heavyweight Champion! Jericho sends the fans home happy as he and the Hitman celebrate their victory, while Blassie, Flair and Graham skulk away, promising retribution.
Official Decision: Bret Hart, Chris Jericho & Christian Cage win by pinfall
