With backstage interviews conducted by
Jeremy Borash and SoCal Val *** North American Tag Team Championship Match
Tazaro: Taz & Cesaro vs. Fabulous Rougeau Brothers: Jacques & Raymond Rougeau The tag team division appears to be going through a transition period, with the ranks shrinking in size thanks to the breakup of the Stampeders (who fought each other in tonight’s opening match) and Bad Influence having been forced to leave town not too long ago. Plus, with the current champions, Tazaro, having already successfully defended their titles against the likes of the Brain Busters and “Killer” Karl Krupp and Kurrgan, it would seem as though the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers came along at just the right time to quickly rise into a position to challenge Taz and Cesaro for their titles. The only Canadians in this match have moved to Memphis, Tennessee and embraced the American way of life, so much so that they fancy themselves all-American boys. In direct response to the Rougeaus moving to America, some fans sing Oh, Canada! Tazaro are the fan favourites, even though Tazz is an actual, natural born American and Cesaro has also immigrated there and was once a ‘real American’. Nevertheless, the fans have chosen their side and their sticking with the Americans who didn’t move to America because ‘it’s a better country than their Canadian homeland. As far as the in-ring action is concerned, Taz and Cesaro are able to take control of the match early on, isolating Jacques Rougeau and using him like a human piñata. However, the Rougeau’s fortunes turn around when Cesaro gives Jacques a long Cesaro Swing, but then releases him in the direction of his own corner, where he’s quickly able to make the tag to his brother Raymond, who attacks Cesaro while he’s still dizzy. Raymond works over Cesaro’s left arm and shoulder. Together, he and Jacques focus on that limb and try to pick it apart with various holds, as well as elbow, knee and axehandle smashes. They also make quick tags and liberally employ double teams. After executing a double hanging verticle suplex with Raymond, Jacques fails to get a three count on a pinfall, so then he whips Cesaro into the ropes and goes for a dropkick. However, Cesaro clings to the ropes to avoid it, then charges at Jacques and decks him with a hard European uppercut. And another. And another. And another. Taz makes the bind tag. Cesaro whips Jacques into the ropes and drops to the mat. Jacques leaps over him and right into the arms of Taz, who gives him an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Cesaro decks Raymond with a European uppercut to knock him off of the ring apron. Meanwhile, Taz gives Jacques a head and arm suplex, a release German suplex, a T-bone suplex and a half-nelson suplex, all in quick succession. Taz stands in wait to put Jacques in the Tazmission, but Raymond comes diving off of the turnbuckle with a missile dropkick. In comes Cesaro to attack him. There is a quick sequence of fast attacks as the referee tries to get Cesaro and Raymond to leave the ring. Through the distraction, the referee misses Jacques giving Taz a blatant kick to the crotch and then a two-handed sit-out chokeslam. The referee counts the pin. 1…2… shoulder up! Jacques makes the tag and now the Rougeaus start setting up for La Bombe de Rougeau, but Cesaro gets up off the arena floor, hops onto the ring apron and pushes Jacques off the top turnbuckle! Raymond puts Taz down and goes to confront Cesaro, only to end up on the receiving end of a European uppercut and a hangman across the top rope, which sets him up for a Tazmission-plex! Taz pins. 1…2…3! The champions retain, much to the delight of the crowd. Official Decision: Tazaro wins by pinfall at 9:20 ***  VS.  Big E. Langston vs. Leo Burke This feud originated with a decision by Commissioner Billy Two Rivers to send his helping hand, Big E. Langston, out to the ring to save Leo Burke from certain destruction at the hands of Rusev, after he’d already lost a match to the Bulgarian Brute. Langston and Rusev would then face each other in a match at WINTER WARFARE, with Burke accompanying Langston to the ring, only to stab him in the back. Burke would later reveal his distrust of the establishment, which he once trusted and considered to be friends. He claimed that their broke certain moral obligations they had to the fans and talent roster in order to prevent the company from ending up the hands of René Duprée, the son of AGPW owner Emile Duprée, which effectively made them no better than the very people they were waging war with throughout 2014. Of course, Langston also hasn’t taken too kindly to having had been duped into thinking Burke had his back and has become a general problem for the Commissioner. All of these things together have come together to bring us this match. Burke would have you think that he hasn’t lost a step; that he’s just as good as ever. However, the young, big, powerful and agile Big E. Langston is in control of the match from the onset. Burke can barely get anything going. Burke bumps like a madman for Big E, whose power move set looks impressive and crisp. Burke spends most of the first half of this match failing to accomplish anything and then trying to escape punishment, but generally failing to do so. This all changes for him once he’s able to escape under the ropes and out to the ring apron. Big E goes for his spear through the ropes, but Burke was setting him up and he moves out of the way, causing Big E to crash into the bottom of the entrance set ramp. Now, Burke is in the driver’s seat. He picks up Big E and gives him a vertical suplex on the ramp! He picks him up and drives his lower back into the side of the ring and then tosses him head and shoulder first into the ring steps. Burke brings Big E back into the ring and starts working over his head with headlocks, chinlocks, and pointed elbow smashes to the forehead. Burke executes a brainbuster and applies an arrogant pin that allows Big E to get a shoulder up. Burke complains about the referee’s count. He tries to bring a chair into the ring, but the referee stops him. They argue for a moment, then when the referee’s back is turned, Burke kicks Big E below the belt and gives him a DDT. He pins, but Big E kicks out. Burke is beside himself. He applies a legscissors headlock to try to get Big E to go to sleep, but his hand doesn’t go down at three. Then he shows off his power by lifting Burke up into the air, while in the legscissors, and sending him crashing down to the mat with a thunderous powerbomb! Now, the comeback is on! Big E lands a pair of E-Trains, then multiple rib breakers. The straps come down and he gives Burke a running splash. He pins. 1…2… kick out! Big E waits for Burke to get up and gives him an overhead belly-to-belly suplex! 1…2… kick out! Big E’s ready to end it. When Burke gets up, Big E scoops him onto his shoulder, but Burke slides out the back, dives out of the ring and heads for the exit. Big E catches up to him and brings him back to the ring. A Big E Irish whip attempt is reversed by Burke and the referee ends up going down. Burke charges at Big E and gets a boot to the face and then the Big Ending! But with the referee out, the match can’t end. Burke recovers while Big E checks on the referee. Burke puts his brass knuckles on and decks Big E in the mouth! But, he’s not finished there. He grabs a chair and hits Big E a few times before piledriving him on it! Burke gets rid of the chair, hides the brass knuckles and pins Big E for the 1-2-3 and the crooked win. Official Decision: Leo Burke wins by pinfall at 12:40 *** |

*** Charlotte Flair vs. Jazz This match was added to the card two weeks ago, after Charlotte Flair and Jazz teamed together and lost a match to the Canadian Ninjas. Flair and Jazz had teamed together occasionally and worked well as partners in their previous matches, but on this occasion a miscommunication led to Flair knocking Jazz out of the match and the losing, which prompted the meanest ‘bitch’ in professional wrestling to violently assault her teammate after the match. This match opens with plenty of trash talk from both women. Jazz is intimidating enough to strike fear into most women and even some men, but Flair inherited her father’s confidence and she won’t back down. After a fair amount of jawjacking and then a shoving match, Jazz goes for a big clothesline, but Flair ducks it and then executes a step up enzuigiri kick to knock Jazz down. An early pinfall attempt is kicked out of, but Jazz has clearly been caught off guard. Flair works an arm ringer and armbar and then wins the crowd over by laying into Jazz with some wicked chops causing the Woooo! calls to break out. Flair works her magic, keeping the pace slow and getting Jazz into a figure-four headlock. Jazz tries to use her considerable strength to break out of it, but Flair turns her over and gives her some push-up facebusters. When she finally releases the hold, Jazz quickly rolls out to the floor. She’s fuming mad and when she gets in the ring, she tries an aggressive attack, but Flair has an answer for her, taking her down with a hangman’s neckbreaker. However, when she tries to apply the figure four leglock, that’s when Jazz gets back into the match by kicking her away and then taking her down with a dropkick, followed by a few running clotheslines. She then gives her triple butterfly suplexes and a running powerslam, but can’t put Flair away. Later on, Jazz applies a single leg crab, but Flair manages to bend over and out of the hold and then counter it with a bridging figure four that puts Jazz in a considerable amount of pain, but she refuses to submit and eventually Flair has to release her when it becomes too tiring to hold the bridge any longer. Flair signals that she’s ready to finish her off, but Jazz rolls out of the way of her Natural Selection attempt. Then, when they both get up, Jazz executes the Jazz Stinger and pins her. 1…2… shoulder up! Jazz can’t believe it. She picks up Flair and drives her head into the mat with a fisherman buster, but then picks her up and puts her in the Bitch Clamp. Flair does her best not to give up, but eventually has no choice but to submit. Jazz wins the match and cements her place in the top of the women’s division ranks, while Flair turns out a performance that, even in defeat, turns heads and puts her on the AGPW map. Official Decision: Jazz wins by submission at 10:34 ***  VS.  Tyson Kidd vs. Lance Storm Tyson Kidd and Lance Storm have been together as a tag team in AGPW for over a year and a half. They’ve had periods of success and challenged for the North American Tag Team Champion Titles on more than one occasion, but they were never able to win the gold. In recent months, they hit a bump in the road, suffering quite a few losses. Finally, after losing a pair of matches to the all-American boys – The Fabulous Rougeaus – Storm decided that the team should break up. Kidd continued to show support to his former teammate, but Storm wanted to be left alone and went so far as to scapegoat Kidd as the reason for his lack of success in AGPW. Storm would then challenge Kidd to a match to prove that he is better off without Kidd or the rest of the Hart Family. At the beginning of the match, Storm makes the first effort to lock up. Kidd appears to be on the defensive, but it quickly becomes clear that he isn’t interested in battling his former teammate. However, when Storm finally gets Kidd into a grapple, Kidd gets out of it and delivers some shoot kicks to Storm’s calf muscles and then backs off. This scene repeats itself a few times until Storm tries a new tactic – forearms to the face. The pace immediately picks up and they begin a dazzling sequence of chain wrestling with a few 1-count pinfalls thrown into the mix. The exchange ends in a stalemate and the fans show their appreciation. Getting back at it, Kidd takes the early advantage, but Storm eventually takes over when he ducks a diving crossbody attempt and then smokes Kidd square on his jaw with a superkick, which nearly wins the match. After that, Storm goes to work, focusing his attack on Kidd’s legs. He also mixes some suplexes in for good measure. Storm works over Kidd with a single-leg crab, but Kidd reaches the ropes. Storm charges at him, but Kidd does a backflip kick to block. Then, he executes a springboard dropkick and covers for a 2-count. Kidd sends Storm into the ropes and goes for a jumping roundhouse kick, but Storm ducks it and then executes a bridging German suplex. That gets a 2-count. He picks up Kidd and gives him a bridging northern lights suplex that also get two. Next, he sends Kidd into the corner and executes a handspring corner clothesline. He lifts Kidd onto the top turnbuckle and climbs up, but Kidd gives him a sunset flip powerbomb off of the turnbuckle! 1…2… kick out! Kidd drags Storm into the centre of the ring and applies the sharpshooter. Storm won’t quit and manages to bend over, trip up Kidd with his hands and reverse the move into his own sharpshooter. Kidd doesn’t quit, though, and instead he gets over to the ropes to force a rope break. Storm whips him and goes for a leg lariat, but Kidd clings to the ropes to avoid it. As soon as Storm gets to his feet, Kidd goes for a superkick, but Storm ducks it and then hits one of his own. He pins. 1…2… kick out! Storm wastes time by questioning the referee, then goes to climb the ropes. Kidd catches up to him and takes him off of the second rope with a Russian legsweep. He pins, but Storm kicks out. Kidd goes to the turnbuckle and attempts a double jump moonsault, but Storm rolls out of the way. They get up and Kidd goes for a jumping back kick, but Storm blocks it and then sends Kidd crashing into the bottom turnbuckle with a release German suplex! Storm drags him away from the ropes and covers. 1…2… shoulder up! Storm picks him up and gives him a long delayed vertical suplex and pins. 1…2… shoulder up, again! Frustrated, Storm decides to climb the turnbuckle. He waits for Kidd to get up and goes for a missile dropkick, but Kidd moves out of the way. As Storm starts to get up, Kidd gives him a swinging fisherman neckbreaker! 1…2…3! Tyson Kidd is victorious in this excellent contest between these former tag team partners. Official Decision: Tyson Kidd wins by pinfall at 14:56 *** |

***  VS.  Samoa Joe vs. Bo Dallas After suffering his first clean loss (and only his second loss overall) – in a match against Bret “The Hitman” Hart at WINTER WARFARE – in his 16-months as a competitor in AGPW, Samoa Joe started to receive patronizing motivational speeches and pep talks from the ‘inspirational’ Bo Dallas, who urged him not to dwell on the fact that he lost, that is human, and that he has failed in each of his attempts to become the International Heavyweight Champion. Joe seemed to ignore these pep talks until this week, when he finally told Bo Dallas to inspire him by beating him in a wrestling matches. Backed into the corner, and needing to preserve his image as a beacon of positivity and a man who can accomplish anything as long as he BOLIEVES, Dallas accepted the challenge. And that might have been the worst thing he could have done, but then he attacked Samoa Joe when his back was turned, and now the Samoan Submission Machine wants to KILL Bo Dallas. Dallas isn’t exactly in a hurry to lock up with Samoa Joe. He plays the role of the chickenshit heel, who tries desperately to avoid physical contact with Joe. He leaves the ring and before the referee can reach the count of ten, he quickly dives in and back out of the ring, while the fans chant Joe’s Gonna Kill You! at a fever pitch. Dallas makes a spurious complaint about Joe to get the referee to act as a decoy while he enters the ring and club Joe in the face. Dallas hits him with a series of punches, then rings his arm and hits him with a series of a back elbow smashes and short-arm clotheslines. Then, he picks up Joe and tries for the quick win with an attempt at the Bo-Dog, but Joe counters it with an atomic drop and a nasty half-nelson suplex! Joe picks up Dallas, throws him into the corner and gives him a series of jabs to the abdomen, then chops to the chest and a bunch of forearms to the face. He goes for a cross-corner whip, but Dallas reverses it. He charges at Joe, only to get a St-Joe Slam! As Dallas tries to crawl away, Joe grabs him, lifts him up and executes a release German suplex! Then, he picks up Dallas and plants him back down into the mat with the Muscle Buster! Joe pins without even hooking a leg and gets the 3-count. Joe’s back on the war path and Dallas has been utterly embarrassed. Official Decision: Samoa Joe wins by pinfall at 4:17 *** 6-Man Tag Team Match
Chris Jericho, Rhino & Christian Cage vs. IMF: Ted DiBiase, Alberto El Patron & Rusev w/ Prince Nana & Virgil The International Ministry of Finance is an international alliance of influential money men, some of whom happen to also be wrestlers. It’s the partnership of several men with deep pockets – Prince Nana, the rich Ghanaian heir to the Ashanti Kingdom; his prized fighter, Rusev, a Super Athlete hailing from Bulgaria; the “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, one of the wealthiest Americans to ever compete in the sport; and Alberto El Patron, a Mexican aristocrat whose family became rich off of this business. They’re new alliance was formed as a way of gaining and keeping power by the sum of their large bank accounts and considerable wrestling talent. The group announced its formation on the very same day that DiBiase faced Chris Jericho in the main event of the Titans of Grand Prix. That night, they systematically tore Jericho and his friend Christian Cage to pieces. Then, the following week, the man beast Rhino made his surprise debut to join his Canadian friends in a battle against the IMF. This starts out as a typical multi-man tag team match, with DiBiase, El Patron and Jericho all taking turns bumping for the other team. Cage also takes a turn, but his is much longer and more drawn out than any of the others. Meanwhile, Rusev looks a dominant Super Athlete every time he steps into the ring and Rhino looks like a Man Beast in his limited chances to get into the ring. We pick up the action with Cage still doing his best Ricky Morton impression. He gets whipped into the corner by El Patron, but does a springboard sunset flip takedown to get a surprise 2-count. After they both get up, El Patron ducks an enzuigiri kick and then gives Cage a backstabber! 1…2… kick out! El Patron tags in Rusev, who is urged on by his partners, as well as his manager, Prince Nana, and Virgil, to finish it. Rusev waits for Cage to get up and charges at him, but Cage pulls on the top rope and Rusev goes over top and down to the floor. Cage slowly crawls to the corner and as Rusev climbs back into the ring, Cage makes the tag to Rhino. He hops into the ring and these is a brief standoff between these two huge competitors. Suddenly, they charge at each other and it’s a powerful collision, but neither man goes down. They back into the ropes and go for it again, and again they hit hard, but only stumble back a few steps. Then, Rusev burries a knee into Rhino’s mid-section and drives his knee into the side of Rhino’s head a few times. Then, he sends Rhino into the corner, but the Man Beast explodes out of the corner upon impact and drops Rusev with a stiff clothesline. Rusev gets up and Rhino goes for another, but he’s stopped with a back kick. Rusev goes for a whip, but Rhino reverses it and gives him a spinning spinebuster! Rhino heads to the corner and gets in position for the GORE! GORE! GORE! Rusev is down. Rhino pins. 1…2… it’s broken up by DiBiase. He’s attacked by Jericho and now El Patron and Cage enter the melee. The referee can’t control what is going on as there are bodies flying all over the place. Everyone except for Rusev ends up on the outside of the ring. Jericho and Cage double up to execute a vertical suplex on DiBiase in the entrance aisle. Meanwhile, Rhino gives El Patron a GORE! GORE! GORE! And they dislodge a section of the guardrail and go right through it! “Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!”Jericho enters the ring and tries to attack Rusev with a charging forearm, but he ducks it, grabs Jericho and runs him into the turnbuckles in the corner. Rusev delivers multiple kicks to his body until he’s off of his feet. Cage comes in and strikes him, then tries to whip him across the ring, but Rusev reserves and follows in with a running avalanche splash. Then, Rusev puts Cage on the turnbuckle and they engage in a fist fight, which gives Jericho enough time to come over and powerbomb Rusev as he is superplexing Cage! Jericho tries to turn Rusev over into the Walls of Jericho, but as he struggles to turn him over, DiBiase puts him in the Million Dollar Dream! DiBiase gets Jericho to lose consciousness, but neither of them are the legal men, so the match cannot end. After arguing with the referee, DiBiase drops Jericho and just kicks him out to the floor. As soon as he turns around, Cage kicks him and then tries to go for the Unprettier, but DiBiase pushes him into a swinging side slam from Rusev! Then, right away after that, DiBiase falls victim to the GORE! GORE! GORE! After that, Rusev and Rhino trade blows and brawl for a while. As the brawl goes on, Cage makes a blind tag before Rusev is able to knock Rhino out of the ring with a clothesline. Cage takes Rusev down with a missile dropkick. Rusev falls back into his corner and El Patron tags in, finally reemerging from the vicious bump he took earlier. Cage doesn’t see the blind tag. Instead he lines up Rusev for a spear, but El Patron comes into the ring and gives him a running front dropkick after he starts charging. Next, El Patron executes a superkick to Cage while he’s on his knees and then gives him a double knee armbreaker, followed by a roll into the cross armbreaker submission. Before he can get the submission, Jericho runs in and breaks it up with a lionsault and then the Codebreaker! Next, Jericho goes out to the ring apron and waits for a tag. Meanwhile, Rusev and Rhino have brawled away from the ring and into the backstage area, with Prince Nana in tow. Before Cage can make it to his corner for the tag, DiBiase pulls Jericho down and throws him into the guardrail and then puts the boots to him. He climbs onto the ring apron and tries to enter the ring, but the referee won’t let him. This allows Virgil to enter with a chair. He tries to hit Cage, but he ducks the swing, takes the chair and then hits Virgil twice with it, knocking him out of the ring. But then, Cage falls victim to a superkick from El Patron, who then drives the spine of the chair into his arm a few times before putting him back in the cross armbreaker. It is at this point that DiBiase lets the referee turn his attention back to the action, just in time to see Cage tapping out. Official Decision: International Ministry of Finance wins by pinfall at 22:26 *** |

*** Women’s Championship Title Match
Awesome Kong vs. AJ Lee w/ Trish Stratus Just when you thought it was all over, it begins anew – but with a slight twist. Awesome Kong and Trish Stratus were business associates for nearly an entire year. Stratus was the Women’s Champion, queen of the women’s division, while Kong was her “gatekeeper” to the throne. She made sure that no one got access to the title either by being a helping hand in her title defenses or crushing potential title contenders in legitimate matches to qualify as the top contender. Meanwhile, AJ Lee arrived on the scene and quickly rose through the ranks to face Stratus. After losing a title match to Stratus, AJ started to idolize the then-Women’s Champion. Then, when all three competed for Stratus’ title in a fatal fourway match, Awesome Kong got a taste for wanting the gold. In addition to that, she felt like her role in helping Stratus maintain her title reign went unappreciated and decided to end their business association. Kong went on to defeat Stratus for the title. Meanwhile, Stratus decided to make nice with her admirer and become AJ’s new ‘bestie’. Now, AJ is trying to win the title for her ‘bestie.’ AJ is significantly outsized and overmatched by Kong. Her early attempts at offense fail to do anything to Kong, who brushes her off like a pesky housefly. When Kong’s been humoured enough, she kicks her game into her gear and starts slugging away at her much smaller challenger. Stratus tries to encourage AJ, but words alone can’t help her climb out of this hole. As a result, Stratus has to create a distraction to gain Kong’s attention. When she does, it helps AJ get into the match by hitting a running front dropkick that knocks Kong through the ropes and onto the floor. Then, AJ goes to the top turnbuckle and lands a diving crossbody on Kong. AJ gets back into the ring and creates a diversion for Stratus to stomp and kick away at Kong. When Kong returns to the ring, AJ employs a run-and-strike strategy to maintain control of the match. Then, she goes up to the top turnbuckle and leaps off, executing a diving tornado DDT! She pins. 1…2.. kick out! AJ waits for Kong to try to get up and then nails her with a shining wizard! She pins. 1…2… kick out! AJ grabs at her hair, pounds the mat and screams in frustration. Stratus shouts at her to stay focused. AJ tries to go for a shiranui, but Kong manages to counter it into a spinning front powerslam! She hooks the leg. 1…2… kick out! Kong can’t quite believe it, but she doesn’t argue. Instead, she picks up Stratus and gives her a gorilla press slam and then a running splash. She pins. 1…2… shoulder up! AJ barely stay alive. Kong decides to go out and climb the turnbuckle, but Stratus grabs ahold of her leg, briefly, to stop her. Kong gets down and stalks Stratus, who walked away with her back turned, as if she did nothing. As soon as she turns around again, Kong drops her with a stiff lariat! But she’s then hit with a baseball slide by AJ that sends her crashing into the guardrail. AJ kicks at Kong and then chokes her with a foot pressed against her throat, until the referee comes out and forcibly stops her. AJ sees Stratus on the ground and turns her attention to her fallen bestie. This proves to be a mistake because as she loses her focus on the match, Kong grabs her from behind and tosses her back into the ring. Kong climbs in. AJ runs to the ropes and goes for the Black Widow, but Kong counters it with a fall forward slam. She picks up AJ and gives her an Awesome Bomb. 1…2…3! Awesome Kong retains the title. Official Decision: Awesome Kong wins by pinfall at 9:28 ***  VS.  International Heavyweight Championship Title Match
Bret “The Hitman” Hart vs. “Superstar” Billy Graham The history between these two goes back to late last year when the yearlong war between AGPW and Californiacation, agents of the Illuminati, came a to a head with a final ‘winner takes all’ battle at WAR ON THE EAST COAST. International Heavyweight Championship “Superstar” Billy Graham defended the title against Bret “The Hitman” Hart in a match in which the deck appeared to be stacked against the challenger. However, Hart would win the match, and considering the other events of the evening, Californiacation was sent packing from AGPW. However, it only took a little over a month for “Superstar” Billy Graham to re-emerge and exact his revenge on Hart for taking the title from him and putting the final nail in his faction’s coffin. Graham decided to publicly exercise the rematch clause in his contract, but also destroyed the title belt so that Hart could no longer enjoy it in the ‘dying days’ of his championship title reign. Hart outwrestles Graham in the early going. However, Graham’s power advantage eventually comes into play, allowing him to power his way out of trouble and drop Hart out onto the floor with a big gorilla press. Graham takes over on the outside, laying into Hart with some hard chops to the chest and some punishing punches to the side of his head. Graham also drives Hart’s face into the turnbuckle post and then he lifts Hart into a lateral press and runs his lower back into the turnbuckle post! Hart is busted open near his hairline and Graham focuses his attack on Hart’s open wound. Graham makes his first pinfall attempt following a sidewalk slam, but Hart kicks out at the count of two. A back body drop and a dropkick later yields the same result. Graham then executes a superplex off of the top rope, but Hart stays in the match by getting his shoulder up. Graham looks to finish Hart off with a piledriver, but Hart counters with a fireman’s carry takedown and then transitions that into a bow-and-arrow submission hold, but Graham refuses to quit. Hart starts to build a comeback, but Graham halts it rather quickly when he reverses a whip attempt and then runs into the corner to nail a big clothesline. Graham brings Hart out of the corner with a neckbreaker, then drags Hart away from the ropes and pins him for a two count. After that, Graham goes for a figure four leglock. Hart won’t quit and he eventually turns it over on Graham, forcing him to use some of his energy to drag himself to the side of the ring to get a rope break. They go back and forth with fists and chops, but then Hart counters a back body drop attempt into a sunset flip for a one count. Next, Hart ducks a lariat attempt and then executes an atomic drop and a side Russian legsweep. Hart stomps away at Graham and then drags him over to the corner, where he puts the Superstar into a post-assisted figure four leglock. Hart climbs back into the ring and goes to the second turnbuckle as Graham crawls away. When he gets up, Hart gives him a missile dropkick. Then, he picks him up and gives him a pendulum backbreaker and then a pointed elbow drop from the second rope. Hart tries to put Graham in the sharpshooter, but he scrapes and fights his way to the ropes before Hart can get it locked in. After the rope break, Graham starts to fight back and they go into a sequence of quick pinfall exchanges that doesn’t decide anything. Next, they go back and forth with a few high impact moves. Graham executes a bodyslam and a running leg drop and pins for two. Hart ducks a running clothesline and executes a DDT for a 2-count. Hart runs to the ropes, but Graham gives him a dropkick and gets a 2-count. Graham goes for a vertical suplex, but Hart blocks it and executes a fisherman’s suplex for a 2-count. Hart sets up for a back body drop, but Graham counters with a folding powerbomb and pins for two. Graham sends Hart into the corner, then charges in and gets a foot to the face. Then, Hart executes a running bulldog for a 2-count. Hart tries again to apply the sharpshooter, but Graham kicks Hart away and he falls through the ropes. Then, Graham knocks Hart off of the ring apron and goes back outside to do some more damage. Graham whips Hart into the guardrail, then charges at him, but the Hitman moves and the Superstar smacks into the guardrail with his shoulder. Hart clotheslines Graham and knocks him over the guardrail. He climbs over the guardrail and thus begins a BCCW-style brawl through the crowd, which eventually returns to ringside, on the other side of the ring, with Hart getting whipped into the guardrail and then lifting Graham over it with a back body drop! Hart rolls Graham back into the ring, but he rolls right back out of it, so Hart has to go around the ring to get him. When he approaches, Graham elbows him in the mid-section and then slams his face off of the ring apron three times, finishing his assault with a powerbomb to the edge of the ring apron (think NXT Kevin Owens style)! Graham walks around and clears off the English announce team’s table, which gets a huge rise out of the fans. Graham takes Hart over onto a table and prepares for what looks like either a powerbomb or a piledriver, but Hart stops him and counters with the sharpshooter. The Tower of Power has nowhere to go and Hart holds it in and rears back on the move until the referee finally threatens to disqualify him, which gets him to release the hold. Much to Graham’s credit, he gets back to the ring right before the referee can finish counting him out (must be an Attitude Era referee considering that he stopped applying the countout for a huge portion of the match and arbitrarily started doing his job correctly, all of the sudden). He barely manages to duck out of the way of a Hart Attack clothesline attempt and then puts Hart in the bearhug. He nearly gets the champion to submit, but he refuses to give up and breaks free after giving Graham a pair of bell claps. Once free, Hart kicks Graham and gives him a piledriver! He uses the last bit of his energy to put Graham in the sharpshooter once more. Graham begins to claw his way to the ropes, but Hart pulls him back towards the centre of the ring, where Graham is forced to tap out! Official Decision: Bret “The Hitman” Hart wins by submission at 24:32  *** This has been a presentation of  Thank you for reading! |

Absolutely outstanding. I don't know how you keep topping yourself after each mammoth success, but you still do it time and time again. "Hellfire in Halifax 2015" may be your best show this year. You know how much the Rougeau bros have grown on me, and I think they fit perfectly in AGPW now especially in the wake of our whole "USA vs Canada" thing. But the right guys won in Tazaro, and again in the next match when Leo Burke puts Big E away with his patented brass knuckles shot. Burke is an AGPW legend, and much like I try to use local guys like Crusher Casey in my work, I love how you've kept him contemporary and a longtime staple of your roster.
Jazz is the original "baddest bitch in da building!" before Ivelisse started claiming it on Lucha Underground, and she REALLY proved it tonight with a win over Charlotte! It's a statement victory, and while Charlotte still gained by losing, it is Jazz who really takes strides to position herself as the possible Monster Slayer who can take out Kong. ECW-era Jazz vs TNA-era Kong? Sign me up please! Speaking of Kong, she basically beat AJ & Trish 2-on-1 tonight to really put her over as Queen of the Mountain. Jazz is on the come-up, but I don't see anybody in the foreseeable future that can stop Kong. The match description in the following bout was superb as well, as I can really see Kidd & Storm (former tag partners in AGPW Cannon) really tearing the house down. Again the right guy went over, and I can see Lance being proud to do the honors. Tyson Kidd seems to have a bright future in AGPW solo competition. The less said about Samoa Joe vs Bo Dallas, the better (for Bo that is!) I can see why Bo Dallas earned such a low mark in the recent "Reports Card" issue of PWI Mag. Joe physically dominated him tonight and moves on to bigger fish in the AGPW sea.
You also know my love for stables in fantasy wrestling, and I think the I.M.F. is the one of the BEST! I can't believe I didn't think of that! Just a great combination full of possibilities. And taking a win over such huge AGPW favorites like Y2J and Christian is a huge statement. The IMF now has a licence to print money! I can't wait to see where you take this group. Just when I think things can't get any hotter, you turn up the temperature even more in the Main Event. Just a great story that has been an ongoing focus in AGPW for months and finally comes to its full conclusion tonight (I assume). The visual of Bret Hart surviving the bear hug, only to answer with the piledriver / Sharpshooter combo was truly awe-inspiring. I know as a "BCCW fan" I'm supposed to hate Bret Hart, but he was always my favorite wrestler growing up, and his victory tonight was reminiscent of the hero Bret Hart character I first fell in love with. Kudos for pulling off another exciting Main Event climax.
As the official "kick off" to Supercard Season, you've already set the bar immeasurably high! I can only shake my head in disbelief sometimes at the stuff you come up with. I don't know how I can possibly top this stuff, but the greatest part is being inspired to try! I'm going to put the finishing touches on my own Fallout Festival cards in response, and hopefully come within a fraction of the brilliance I see here. AGPW is breathing some rarefied air right now, I only hope I can get a sniff! Awesome job, slade!

MSD,
You are too kind. I appreciate all of the praise that you have heaped onto me for this show. I think it was far from the strongest or most interesting card I've assembled, at least on paper, but I'd like to think it was still a good one in consideration of the storylines going into the show. It also marks the beginning and ending of a few different things, as I try to freshen things up for the rest of the year. This was "Superstar" Billy Graham's final match in AGPW. The Tyson Kidd vs. Lance Storm match marks the ending of their long-running tag team. The International Ministry of Finance had its big debut. Charlotte Flair had her first ppv outing. Leo Burke had is first match as a heel.
In any case, I appreciate the praise and I hope everyone else liked it. However, the rest big supercards are still to come. With the Fallout Festival, Wrestlemania II and Starrcade still to come, I wouldn't be surprised if this show is forgotten about by the Mash-Up Wrestling fans.

I'm someone who appreciates the good "mash up" tag team, as I've created quite a few decent ones in the past, according to some, and I must say, I love the Tazaro team immensely. Two of my favorites, and both are well accomplished in both the singles and tag team realms. Huge fan there, mark out every time I see you book them and it never disappoints. The main event had a great flow and mixture of play by play and storytelling that had entertained and hanging on who might get the win, though the large image at the bottom sort of spoiled it, as it does sometimes, but that's all good. Graham and Hart put on a worthy main event display to top off a well rounded card here, and I enjoyed the right you provided on this night.
