VS.
First Match: Tonight’s show begins with a contest between the unconventionally popular Cuban Assassin, who faces the biggest man in AGPW, the native of Vancouver, British Columbia, the Canadian Earthquake. It’s a rough and tumble brawl. There’s nothing fancy or pretty about this fight. Everything that each man serves up is full of power. It is all about maximum impact. Earthquake holds a lengthy advantage, but he misses a corner running body splash, which Cuban Assassin follows with a falling reverse DDT to get a 2-count. The killer from Havana starts to mount a comeback until Tyler Breeze comes down and, as he sets up for a spear, hits him in the back of the head with his selfie stick. Cuban Assassin is awarded the victory via DQ, but that’s of little solace to him as he gets stomped on by both Breeze and the Canadian Earthquake, who then gives him an Avalanche Splash. He gets up, jumps around the ring to signal that another Earthquake Splash is imminent. However, the Acadian Giant runs down to the ring. Breeze jumps out of the ring and leaves the scene of the crime, but the Canadian Earthquake stands his ground. A showdown between the two biggest men in Canada looks like it is about to happen until the ring fills with officials who get between the two behemoths.

Second Match: Bayley is a fresh-faced newcomer to AGPW. Her positive attitude is infectious. She’s out here to have her second match. She won her debut against Courtney Rush. In her second match, she takes on Allison Danger, who comes at her with some hard hitting, high impact power moves. Bayley survives through a powerslam and a spinebuster in order to make a comeback and win the match with a Belly-to-Bayley suplex.

The Beautiful People ruin Bayley’s moment
Following the commercial break, Bayley is greeted by SoCal Val to get her reaction to picking up two wins in a row in her young AGPW career. Bayley speaks very enthusiastically about getting the win, but before she can say much more about it, the girls from Mi Pi Sexy – aka the Beautiful People – hit the scene to make fun of Bayley’s wardrobe and to tell her to beat it before they beat her. Bayley is bullied out of the picture, and then Angelina Love, Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne ask Val why they weren’t interviewed following their beautiful debut and victory over the Canadian Ninjas last week. They take the microphone away from her and force her out of the shot, monopolizing the camera to announce that the Beautiful People are here and they did just what they said they would do. Last week, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky won their debut and next week, Madison Rayne is going to do the same thing because the power of Mi Pi Sexy means that the Beautiful People will never lose.
The Canadian Earthquake is angry at the Acadian Giant
Jeremy Borash catches up with the Canadian Earthquake, who has a few words of advice for the Acadian Giant, which is not to interrupt his fun or else he’ll cause a seismic wave so hard that it’ll topple the giant and he’ll never be able to get back up.

Third Match: Leo Burke takes on the “Japanese Buzzsaw” Yoshihiro Tajiri. It’s a contest of wildly different wrestling styles, but they seem to do a good job of meshing them together to create an entertaining match. Tajiri hammers away at Burke with his vicious kicks and Burke gives Tajiri a variety of suplexes. The highlight of the match comes when Tajiri goes for a running handspring back elbow, Burke steps out of the corner to catch Tajiri in a waistlock and drive him to the mat with a bridging German suplex. Tajiri still manages to kick out of it, although just barely. Burke seems poised to win the match when he puts Tajiri in the sleeperhold, but he counters it with a jawbreaker. Moments later, Tajiri gets Burke caught up in the tarantula. After releasing him, Tajiri climbs the turnbuckle. As he is doing that, Burke pulls a pair of brass knuckles out from his trunks and slips them on without the referee seeing. As Tajiri goes flying, Burke quickly throws a right hook at him to knock him out in mid-flight! Burke quickly hides the brass knuckles and makes the pin. 1-2-3! Leo Burke steals another win.

Fourth Match: “Macho Man” Randy Savage is back in action this week and he’s facing Test, the man so unpopular that he was quietly dumped from the Centre of the Universe faction. Test remains a heel and he simply serves as enhancement talent now. He’s pretty athletic for a big man, but audience apathy towards him has stuck him in the position whereby he is unable to make it even 5 minutes in the ring with the legendary “Macho Man.” Test gets a brief moment in control of the match, nailing Savage with a running big boot and a full nelson slam for a 2-count. He goes for a diving elbow drop, but misses, and not long after that, Savage has put Test on the mat in position for his patented diving elbow drop. He goes flying and drops right into the middle of Test’s chest. 1-2-3! Savage wins, but his music is cut off and replaced by…
"The Animal" attacks!
… the entrance music of “The Animal” Batista who comes out with Sensational Sherri. She has a mic in hand and announces that she warned Savage that the next time they were in the same building at the same time, Batista would tear him limb from limb. Savage jumps out of the ring and runs into the entrance aisle to meet Batista head on. The brawl all over the entrance aisle, back to ringside and even into the crowd. Their brawl continues into the concession stands. AGPW officials and arena security struggle to try to contain it. It looks like the brawl finally ends when Savage puts Batista’s head through the glass case of a large popcorn machine. Savage walks away, but Batista gets up, tosses security officials aside and charges Savage from behind. He finally finishes it by powerbombing Savage through a merchandise table! Commissioner Billy Two Rivers finally shows up on the scene with back and EMTs. He tells Sherri that enough is enough and that incidents like this one can’t keep happening every time Batista and the Macho Man are under the same roof, so he’s only going to allow it to happen one more time in an officially sanctioned Anything Goes, Falls Count Anywhere match at War on the East Coast! Batista and Savage are going to destroy each other and the city of Boston in the process!

VS.
Fifth Match: After taking a one week break from competition, the best of seven series between Cesaro and Dean Malenko resumes with for the critical fifth match in the series, with both wrestlers tied at two wins a piece. Each match has had a distinct flavour to it and was won in a different manner and this one is no different. With so much riding on getting a victory to move one win away from clinching the series, the stakes are high, so high in fact that just over 5 minutes into the contest, these technically gifted grapplers eschew the styles that they are most commonly known for to partake in brawl, inside and out of the ring. Cesaro and Malenko are whipped into the barricades several times. Cesaro gives Malenko a gutwrench suplex on the floor and, later, Malenko gives Cesaro a DDT on the outside. Back in the ring, following a series of pinfall and counter-fall attempts, Cesaro sweeps Malenko’s legs and sends him swinging around in the Cesaro Swing. At the end of it, Cesaro sets up for the Neutralizer, but Malenko counters with a back body drop, which Cesaro turns into a sunset flip. Malenko rolls through that and turns Cesaro over into the Texas cloverleaf. Cesaro is miles away from the ropes and eventually taps out after making a valiant effort to reach the ropes to force a break. Dean Malenko is one win away from earning the first title shot at the International Heavyweight Championship in 2016.

Gail Kim demands a Women’s Championship title shot!
Gail Kim and Chyna come down to the ring, where Kim reminds everyone that the two of them defeated Charlotte Flair and Trish Stratus in last week’s Titans of Grand Prix main event. She also makes a point of noting that she pinned Charlotte Flair, the current Women’s Champion, which means that she deserves a title shot and she deserves it now. She calls out Charlotte to come to the ring and put her title on the line right now. Charlotte comes out and accepts the challenge. When she turns her attention to the timekeeper and ring announcer to tell them to call for a referee to come out, Chyna knocks her down from behind. Kim and Chyna put the boots to Charlotte and right before the referee gets to the ring, Chyna gives Charlotte the Pedigree. Kim tells the referee to start the match, but he argues that it isn’t fair. Meanwhile, Trish Stratus runs down and attacks Kim. Chyna charges at her, but Stratus turns just in time to serve up a Chick Kick, knocking her out cold! Kim flees from the ring, complaining that Stratus has ruined her title shot.
Charlotte Flair backs down from no one and Trish Stratus saves her from a trap!
After a commercial break, and right before tonight’s main event, SoCal Val is backstage with Gail Kim and Chyna, who run through a litany of complaints about Trish Stratus. Kim says that she is going to petition Commissioner Billy Two Rivers to force Charlotte to defend her title against her. The Commissioner wanders onto the scene, having heard his name, and he announces that he’s making two matches for War on the East Coast: an AGPW Women’s Championship match between Charlotte Flair and Gail Kim and a match between Trish Stratus and Chyna.

Sixth Match: Tonight’s main event features Bret “The Hitman” Hart going one-on-one with Rey Mysterio Jr. It is a fantasy wrestling dream match worth the price of admission all on its own! This is a pay-per-view calibre contest being given away for free. Mysterio gets out to a quick start, using a series of armdrags as well as some running and springboard attacks, such as a running dropkick, tilt-a-whirl headscissors, springboard clothesline and springboard crossbody. After kicking out of the pin, Hart is pulled outside by Chris Jericho, who is joining him at ringside, to get some separation. However, the intended effect isn’t what they get, as Myserio goes over the top rope to take them both out with a sommersault plancha. After Mysterio tosses Hart into the ring, Hart momentarily distracts the referee, just long enough for Jericho to grab Mysterio by the foot and prevent him from getting back in the ring. Then, Hart nails him with a baseball slide and goes about doing damage by dropping him across the guardrail and whipping him into the nearby ring steps. Taking Mysterio back into the ring, Hart starts to work on taking the high-flyers legs out from under him by going to work on his left knee. He gives him a knee wrenchs, kicks to the inside of the knee and seated sentons to the knee with his leg draped across the bottom rope. Hart continues to soften up Mysterio’s left knee, but cannot get the Sharpshooter put on him, so he starts giving him some more impactful moves, like some suplexes, a pendulum backbreaker and a pointed elbow drop from the second rope. Hart puts Mysterio on the top rope and sets up for a superplex, but Mysterio holds onto the top rope and then headbutts and jabs Hart in the ribs until he falls to the mat. Then, he executes a diving hurricanrana with a cradle, but only gets a 2-count.
Now, Mysterio mounts a comeback, first by countering all of Hart’s attacks and then giving him some of his own. He’s a few steps slower than normal, hobbling on a bad knee, but he keeps the attack coming, even getting Hart into position for the 6-1-9, but Chris Jericho jumps onto the ring apron to prevent it from happening. An argument with the referee takes place until Ultimo Dragon comes out and pulls Jericho down from the ring apron. They brawl at ringside. Mysterio goes for it again, but Hart moves. He grabs Mysterio, who is now on the ring apron and tries to bring him into the ring with a vertical suplex, but he breaks free and then rolls up Hart for a 2-count. Mysterio ducks a clothesline and then levels the Hitman with an enzuigiri kick! Then, he goes out to the ring apron and executes the West Coast Pop! 1…2…3!
Mysterio pulls off the upset. However, he doesn’t get a chance to celebrate, as Jericho hits him in the back with a chair. An imminent beat down is about to occur, that is, until Edge and Christian run down to the ring to put a stop to it. An all-out brawl ensues, culminating with Edge lining up Hart for a spear, only to have him move and Edge nailing Mysterio with it! This leads to Ultimo Dragon grabbing him from behind and giving him an Aztec suplex! Then, Christian and Ultimo Dragon get into a fight, but Hart and Jericho take them both out, with Hart hitting Dragon with a chair and Jericho giving Christian the Codebreaker! Bret Hart may have lost the match, but he and his partner, Chris Jericho, and the only men left standing when the show ends.
