Episode Seven of "AAPW Collision," jumped right into the action. As Chris Hagstrom and Kevin Hunsperger welcomed fans to the show, the winless Mike Masters made his way to the ring. 

KC Jackson vs. Mike Masters 

As Jackson tried to get the crowd warmed up, Masters attacked him from behind, officially starting the match. The plan may have backfired, however, as Jackson recovered and landed a clothesline and a set of drop kicks. Masters bailed to the outside to regain his composure early.  

As Masters returned to the ring, Brooklyn Bobby once again emerged from the back. These strange appearances have become a trend in Masters' matches. Masters put on a good display for the apparent talent scout, as he laid a beating on Jackson.  

Masters used every inch of allowance the referee would give him, including choking Jackson out with his wrist tape. Fans showed their disapproval both for Masters' tactics and the referee's seeming unwillingness to do anything about it.  

The fight spilled to the outside of the match, where Jackson managed to regain control of the bout. Back in the ring, Jackson hit a big scissorkick, but Masters not only kicked out, he managed to put Jackson back on the receiving end of an assault.

As Masters went for a fireman's carry, Jackson escaped, flipped out of the move and rolled up Masters, giving him another loss. After the match, Masters glared toward the commentary table.  

Result: KC Jackson d. Mike Masters 

Backstage, David Ade talked to the team of "Golden Boy" Greg Anthony and "Serial Thriller" Shane Rich, who would challenge Curly and Heath Hatton for the AAPW Tag Team Championships in the main event. While they've had fun in the past, today will be all serious business. They promised to win the belts tonight, and when Anthony makes a promise, "it's as good as gold."  

Farmer Billy Hills vs. "Playboy" Paul Rose 

These two "heavyweights" collided in the ring for the first time on the show. Hills is an AAPW newcomer, paired up against the veteran Rose. It also put two lifestyles against each other, as "Playboy" represented the bright lights of California and "Farmer" represented his Kentucky homeland.

The men did a slight pose-off early, and the fans were clear in their support of Hills. From there, the two men started the match in untraditional style, using foot stomps, butt slaps and leg-tripping maneuvers instead of punches and kicks.  

Rose soon put the comedy on hold and took the match a little more serious, knocking Hills off the apron onto the concrete floor of the arena. The show dropped to commercial for a bit, and when the action returned, "Playboy" was still in control, using his weight to wear down "Farmer" and targeting his opponent's neck and head.  

A swinging neckbreaker gave Rose a near-fall, but Hills held his own. Being matched with an equal-sized opponent presented an element of the match Rose normally isn't used to. Hills managed to stay alive and used a second-round of adrenaline to mount some offense against "Playboy." 

In the end, though, "Farmer" couldn't stand up to "Playboy" and ended up being pinned in his AAPW debut.  

Result: "Playboy" Paul Rose d. Farmer Billy Hills

In the back, Sam Smith caught up with Ax Allwardt and his manager Gaylord Stevens to discuss the duo's recent backstage assault on AAPW Champion Edmund "Livewire" McGuire.  

Allwardt declared himself the "ultimate man in wrestling," while putting down McGuire as "a boy." He claimed McGuire's desire to make the fans happy will be his ultimate downfall. "In the real world, you can't care about anybody else," he said.

In recent weeks, the "Golden Boy" and "Serial Thriller" have proven successful in a number of singles' contest, though it often included less-than-legal tactics such as brass knuckles. The champs, meanwhile, have been proving themselves a successful duo, turning away all challengers.  

Curly and Rich start off in the ring, competing for the early advantage. The two men exchange moves, but Rich soon tags Anthony in. Curly disposes of both his opponents, who spill to the outside to regain composure.

When Rich and Anthony returned to the ring, Curly tagged in Hatton, who fell victim to some early attack from Rich. He and Anthony kept Hatton isolated, and when Curly tried to point it out to the referee, it only allowed Rich and Anthony more time to cheat and double-team Hatton.  

The dominance by Anthony and Rich continues for several minutes, as Hatton tries his best to unsuccessfully fight back. Hatton managed a slight comeback, but rather than go for the tag, he tried to get in some offense of his own, falling right back into the trap of the "Golden Boy" and "Serial Thriller."

The crowd erupted as Hatton made the hot tag to Curly, who came in and took control of the situation. He unleashed his unique offense on both Anthony and Rich, bringing the match back into his reigns.  

On a mis-executed move, Curly clotheslined the referee, knocking him out. A new referee emerged, and before too long, the champs put away Rich with an elevated dropkick from the top rope. They earned the pin in what seemed like another tag title defense.

But the celebration was short-lived as the original ref regained consciousness and reversed the decision, disqualifying Curly for hitting him with that clothesline.  

Result: Greg Anthony and Shane Rich d. Curly and Heath Hatton by disqualification
