All American Pro Wrestling gave fans an early Christmas gift in the form of a new episode on Christmas Eve.
The show opened with Executive Producer Chris Hagstrom in the ring, addressing the brawl between AAPW Heavyweight Champion Edmund "Livewire" McGuire and number one contender "Old School Warrior" Ax Allwardt two weeks ago on "Collision."
Hagstrom called both Allwardt and McGuire to the ring, promising that "actions have repercussions." Hagstrom laid down the law, stating that if Allwardt laid a hand on McGuire before Jan. 14's Main Event, he would lose his number one contender's status. Likewise, if McGuire laid a finger on Allwardt, he would be stripped of his championship.
Neither McGuire or Allwardt seemed pleased with the decision, but both men understood the ruling. McGuire said he's been talking with friend "Main Attraction" KC Jackson, who told him just to superkick Allwardt's teeth down his throat and end it once and for all.
Allwardt taunted McGuire, begging for the champ to strike him, but McGuire retained his cool, and both men left the ring peacefully.
"The Trendsetter" Jon Michael vs. Pokerface
The fans joined this match in progress, as "The Trendsetter" Jon Michael makes his return to AAPW after a two year absence to battle the undefeated Pokerface.
The men brawled outside the ring, using the guardrails to attempt to gain a strategic advantage. When the action returned to the ring, Pokerface found himself in control.
Michael reversed a high-cross body, but Pokerface had a reversal of his own, turning it into a submission maneuver. A big suplex from Pokerface took a lot out of Michael, but Pokerface was unable to capitalize.
Michael mounted a comeback, using his size to gain advantage and hitting a series of power moves. It wouldn't last long, however, as Pokerface would hit the Ghetto Blaster out of nowhere to put Michael away and keep his undefeated streak in tact.
Result: Pokerface d. "The Trendsetter" Jon Michael
KC Jackson vs. Eric Wayne
These two stars start off exchanging holds, with both men unable to gain an early advantage. As with several matches in recent weeks, Brooklyn Bobby emerged from the back to scout this match, but his intentions are still unknown.
A hiptoss from Wayne took "The Main Attraction" down, but he'd soon be back on his feet, unleashing some offense of his own on "3G," leaving this match at a stalemate.
As Jackson went for a mid-rope move, his feet slipped, allowing Wayne to capitalize with a big power move, once again putting Jackson on the mat. That move would prove to be a turning point of sorts, as it allowed Wayne a clear advantage for the first time in the match.
Jackson once again proved resilient, though, as he came back a ball of fire, hitting Wayne with a series of dropkicks. Wayne would regain control, continuing the see-saw momentum of the match.
A big sunset flip gave Jackson a near-fall, but Wayne responded with a high knee and a nearfall of his own. Neither of these two young stars were prepared to give up, continuing to leave it all on the table looking for the win.
Wayne missed a big axe-handle from the top rope to the outside, hitting his head on the guardrail. But as Jackson returned to the ring, he was confronted by none other than Allwardt, who assaulted Jackson and hit repeated piledrivers, clearly trying to send a message to McGuire.
Result: KC Jackson d. Eric Wayne by disqualification
McGuire hit the ring to check on Jackson, and Allwardt and his cohort Gaylord Stevens continued to taunt the champ, attempting to draw out the assault. McGuire kept his calm, however, and eventually Allwardt bailed to the back.
A number of Jackson's friends, including "Farmer" Billy Hills and Jay Spade, emerged from the back to check on Jackson as the show headed to a commercial break.
Bull Bronson vs. Robbie Douglas
Two other stars made their "Collision" debuts in this match, as the monstrous Bronson battled Douglas, a standout high school football player and military veteran.
Bronson used his power and size early, shoving Douglas to the mat. That wouldn't keep Douglas down, though, as he continued to come at Bronson with everything he's got.
A running splash into the corner took a lot of Douglas, and Bronson didn't let up the assault, immediately following up with some powerful slams and elbow strikes.
Douglas' speed and agility allowed him to mount some offense, but ultimately he fell victim to his oversized opponent. Bronson caught Douglas mid-air and put him away with a powerslam for a three count.
Result: Bull Bronson d. Robbie Douglas
"Golden Boy" Greg Anthony made his way to the ring to announce that his tag team partner "Serial Thriller" Shane Rich has been injured in a motorcycle accident. As a result, the team must forfeit their number one contender's status to the AAPW Tag Team Championships.
Anthony declared the real reason they've been stripped of that honor is that Rich is weak and selfish, putting himself and his recovery ahead of the team. Anthony had more choice words for his seemingly former partner, saying he's twice the man Rich will ever be.
Curly vs. "Playboy" Paul Rose
Curly and "Playboy" are two of the most unique characters in AAPW, and they collided in this main event match-up. Curly was accompanied to the ring, as usual, by his son Curly Jr. and Heath Hatton, his tag team partner and co-tag team champion.
With Anthony and Rich out of the tag team title picture, a win over Curly may position Rose for a tag title shot, pending his ability to find a tag team partner.
The two men start off with a series of lock-ups, each broken up when Curly attempts his signature eyepoke. Ultimately, Curly's able to use his shenanigans to hit the move, sending Rose to the outside.
Back in the ring, though, "Playboy" gained control, putting an end to the antics and using some illegal tactics to keep Curly down. Some big moves led to a nearfall, but Rose's cockiness may have cost him the match, as he didn't secure Curly's shoulders.
Curly tried to regain control, but Rose put a quick stop to that. A sleeperhold nearly got Rose another win, but Curly came out of it with a renewed fire, unleashing his patented offense on "Playboy," ending with his big scoopslam.
As Rose went for a pinfall with his feet on the ropes, Hatton pushed Rose's feet down, keeping the match alive. A high crossbody off the top rope gave Curly the chance for a pinfall and a victory.
Result: Curly d. "Playboy" Paul Rose
