Results from AAPW Collision Episode 2
WSIU TV Studios in Carbondale, Illinois
All American Pro Wrestling "Collision"
returned to the airwaves this afternoon for another hour of action and
excitement. Today's show featured some of AAPW's fastest rising stars
and showcased a plethora of technical prowess. Let's get right into
the results.
KC Jackson vs. Christian Rose
Rose and Jackson start out by circling each other in the ring, each man trying to formulate his game plan. They exchange wristlocks early, with neither man securing much of an advantage.
The technical wrestling continues, as Jackson and Rose exchange submission maneuvers on the mat. Jackson, a former AAPW tag team champion, gains the advantage.
It doesn't last long, however, as Rose begins to unleash his stiff offense, delivering kicks to Jackson's back, while his target was prone both on the mat and in the corner turnbuckles.
Rose's offensive streak continued, as he unleashed knee and elbow drops onto Jackson. When the fight spilled to the outside, Rose went for a chop against the turnbuckle, but Jackson moved, sending his opponent's hand into the metal.
The hand would continue to cause problems for Rose, as he soon missed a move on the mat and send the same appendage slamming into the mat. The two men continue to exchange moves, once again stuck in limbo with neither man earning a clear advantage.
Rose headed up top to try for a corkscrew splash but Jackson dodged the move and built his momentum toward a high-risk move of his own. Jackson delivered a flying crossbody from the top rope, but Rose rolled through and put Jackson on his shoulders to attempt a Death Valley Driver.
Jackson managed to reverse the move, however, and rolled up Rose for a three count. After the match, Rose argued with the referee, allowing his aggression to get the better of him, as he went as far as putting his hands on the official.
Result: KC Jackson d. Christian Rose
Backstage, "Playboy" Paul Rose made a guarantee to the fans that he would persevere in the battle royale main event, tossing every other competitor over the top rope and claiming victory for himself.
But Rose wasn't the only star cocky enough to lay his advance claims to victory. Mike Masters, who was last seen losing to Curly on the debut episode of "Collision," all but promised to lay claim to the win himself.
"Thee" Brandon Espinosa vs. David Osborne
As these two men started out, Espinosa's size seemed like it may be problematic for the young star. Osborne had a definite size advantage, and it showed early, as Espinosa got bullied, pushed around and scoop slammed.
Even with some momentum from running the ropes, Espinosa couldn't seem to take Osborne off his feet. Choosing instead to go with a headlock, possibly in an attempt to weaken his opponent first, Espinosa soon conquered his challenge when he took Osborne to the ground on his third takeover attempt.
The two battled back and forth, with Osborne focusing much of his assault on Espinosa's knee. The two obviously had each other well scouted, as they seem to know their opponents' moves.
In the long run, Osborne relied on his relentless attacks on Espinosa's knee, working it over on the mat, on the ropes and with various slams and knee drops. Each of his submission attempts was futile, as Espinosa refused to give up.
Espinosa managed to gain some momentum and mount a comeback, hitting a fancy Russian legsweep, a flying crossbody and an enziguri to the back of Osborne's head.
In the end, both men went up top, with Osborne setting up for a possible top-rope suplex, but Espinosa knocked him down and hit his signature frog splash for the victory.
Result: Brandon Espinosa d. David Osborne
Yet another competitor in the main event battle royale made his intentions known in a backstage segment. The Mississippi Madman, a former AAPW Heavyweight and Tag Team Champion, said 19 fatalities were sure to occur when he stepped into the ring.
Heath Hatton vs. "3G" Eric Wayne
Two of AAPW's fast-rising young stars had the opportunity to prove themselves in this match. Hatton currently holds the AAPW Tag Team Championships with Curly, while Wayne has a family reputation to uphold. His "3G" moniker refers to his status as a third-generation competitor.
From the beginning, Wayne taunted and disrespected Hatton, the clear choice of the AAPW fans. The two begin with some mat wrestling and demonstrate the art of chain wrestling. Before long, Wayne was taking advantage of every opportunity he had to break the rules.
The third-generation star had control of the match early, but he failed to follow-up on most of his big moves, a cockiness problem that would continue throughout the match. Hatton seized control once again with a series of dropkicks - six, to be exact.
At some point in the match, Wayne's nose was busted open and he began bleeding. This only added fuel to his fire of desire, as he continued to lay into Hatton. But neither man could seem to maintain control, as they exchanged stiff strikes and big moves throughout the contest.
Near the end of the match, Hatton climbed to the top rope and attempted yet another dropkick, only to be reversed by Wayne, who would go on to try his luck at at a belly-to-back suplex. Hatton had a reversal of his own in story, and scored a pinfall victory with a roll-up.
Hatton proved himself to be a worthy singles competitor, while Wayne established himself as a hard-hitting newcomer to AAPW. Both men showcased what AAPW hopes to bring out in young wresters.
Result: Heath Hatton d. Eric Wayne
KC Jackson, fresh off his victory over Christian Rose earlier in the show, announced his participation in the battle royale main event in a backstage segment. He heard there was a party tonight, but made it clear you can't have a party without "The Main Attraction."
Saluki Maroon Melee
Chaos erupts in the 20-man battle royale before all the participants can even make their way to the ring. While the match could ultimately only be won by one competitor, the early stages of the contest saw some teamwork from the likes of The Convoy and AAPW Tag Team Champions Curly and Mike Masters.
There were no eliminations, however, until all 20 men had made their way to the ring. At the suggestion of "Playboy" Paul Rose, all of the men in the match - with the exception of KC Jackson - jumped the Mississippi Madman. At 450 lbs, he was obviously a threat.
Their plan failed, as the Madman pushed them all away and let out a battle cry. Soon after, the eliminations started in a fast-and-furious manner. Curly and Mike Masters, who fought each other on last week's show, were eliminated simultaneously and continued fighting on the outside for several minutes afterward.
Ultimately, the final four men in the match were the Madman, Ax Allwardt, Carnage and Hatton, who had already wrestled a singles match earlier in the show. The youngster found himself in the ring with three established veterans, all much larger than himself.
Allwardt delivered a low blow to the Madman, who refused to go down. The "Old School Warrior" refocused his attention and eliminated Hatton from the match. Then he and Carnage began a double-teaming effort against the Madman, who managed to survive and hit a signature Fifth Floor Slam on Carnage before scooping him up and tossing him over the top rope.
In the end, Allwardt attempted hit his own signature move, the piledriver, on the Madman, who reversed it into a toss over the top rope to claim victory in the contest.
With his victory, the Madman established himself as a threat to everyone in the AAPW locker room.
Result: Mississippi Madman wins, last eliminating Ax Allwardt
