Adirondack Pro Wresting
Saturday night 5/3
Highgate Sports Arena
Highgate, Vermont
Ring Announcer: Shawn O'Vincent
Referees: George and Gary
Attendance: appox. 100
Commissioner William Rusho opens the show, thanking everyone for coming...then introduces Heavyweight Champ Shane Anderson. Anderson then "calls out" Tony Atlas. Shane says he grew up watching Tony and idolizes him, but Tony knows better, and says Shane is cocky and disrespectful. This hypes up the main event for later on.
1. "Bombshell" Bert Williams over "The Best Baller in Cruiserweight Wrestling" Timmy Aiight. Originally, Timmy won the match after using a cane as a weapon. The crowd yelled to the referee that Timmy cheated..then the referee saw the cane in the ring, and ordered the match to be restarted. Bert scored a pin of his own shortly after.
2. Former WWE star Max Moon over Nacho Libre's Carlos Roselas. Both wrestlers showed so much strength and power in this extravaganza, because a top turnbuckle snapped off a ring post when Carlos was thrown into the ropes! Both were able to continue the match with the top rope out of commission. The ring crew was able to repair the turnbuckle after the match.
3. Abraxas (with Morgana) over Johnny Toxic. After the match, Abraxas casted some kind of spell on Johnny, which caused Johnny to become Abraxas' new partner/friend. Shane & Eric Alden came out to interrupt the goings-on in the ring...and challenged this newly-formed team to a match for later in the show.
4. The L.A. Gunns (Matt & Michael Cage) over The American Revolution & Hillbilly Shawn Adams. One of the Gunns knocked out the Hillbilly with brass knuckles while the referee was distracted. The Hillbilly left the ring with a nasty bruise below his right eye.
Intermission for Polaroids with "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas...autographs with Shane & Eric Alden, Barbie, and Max Moon.
5. Shane & Eric Alden over Abraxas & Johnny Toxic (with Morgana). At one point, Morgana tried to get in the ring, but Barbie ran out to stop her. Barbie took care of business with several forearm shots to to the face and a few chops on Morgana.
6. The Hellraisers (Pain, Misery, & Damien) over The World's Largest Tag Team (Shooter Anthony Storm & Magnum Mike Mainiacal) & "Bombshell" Bert Williams in a six-man Highgate Street Fight to win the Tag Team Championship. Pain & Misery were awarded the belts...Anthony & Mike were the defending champions.
Before the main event, Commissioner William Rusho and Heavyweight Champ Shane Anderson presented a trophy of appreciation to Jeremy Powers, for his several years of service to independent wrestling in that part of New England.
7. In a championship match, WWE Hall of Famer "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas over Heavyweight Champ Shane Anderson by countout. Shane spent most of the match trying to leave the ring, but at one point, Hillbilly Shawn Adams and Magnum Mike Mainiacal came out and threw him back in. However, Shane was able to leave the ring later on.
Spike Dudley and WWE Hall of Famer "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka were advertised to appear, but neither were there.
APW is scheduled to return to Highgate sometime in August.
This APW promotion is not the same APW that is running in Rutland, Vermont in June. The Rutland event is Action Packed Wrestling. |
