So close…

In what some are calling the greatest match in APW History, Dylan Drake and the APW Universal Heavyweight Champion “Old School” Oliver John, took each other to the breaking point. In an all out 30 minute war, Drake and Oliver John gave each other all they could handle and in the end it was Dylan Drake who stood tall as the bell sounded signaling that the 30 minute time limit had been reached. Therefore the match was ruled a draw and the APW Universal Heavyweight Championship was awarded to “Old School” Oliver John. Following their exhausting contest at GYM WARS on August 2nd, the APW camera crew caught with Dylan Drake to get his comments on his hard fought match…

TOP 10 RANKINGS RELEASED

We wanted to bring APW fans the news before it is released elsewhere in the Internet media. The Pro Wrestling Council has released the top 10 wrestlers in APW. These contenders will seriously be considered for title matches with the APW Universal Heavyweight Champion and the APW Worldwide Internet Champion. Of course, the higher ranked wrestler will always be given preference for title shots but sometimes there are conflicting dates or other reasons that prevent that and sometimes Matchmakers and Promoters in APW will give a title shot to someone else ranked in the top 10. This is something every pro wrestler in California, APW and future wrestlers from the APW Boot Camp look to achieve - a top 10 ranking.

GYM WARS 8/2/08 RESULTS

 

We would like to thank all of our great APW Fans for coming out to last nights GYM WARS at the famous APW Garage. It was an action packed night that APW and all of our fans will never forget. It was an historic night all throughout the show, and it is one that will live in the hearts and memories of the people that were there forever.

At the start of the show APW Correspondent Shane Stoli welcomed back from his world celebration tour, The NEW APW World Wide Internet Champion “The Boss” Derek Sanders. When asked about his involvement regarding the beat down in Bakersfield of Nate Rulez last month that left him unable to show up to GYM WARS, “The Boss” shrugged it off and said that he had nothing to do with the “beat down” of his “former tag-team partner”. Sanders also took this time to address the number one contenders match for the APW World Wide Internet Title, “The Boss” put it simply. It didn’t matter who it was that won, all that mattered was that he was going to beat them later in the show when he put his Internet Title on the line. 

As Derek was attempting to leave the ring and go back to his private locker room, APW Commissioner JJ Perez stopped him and gave him two very important announcements. The first, was that the Commissioner has learned for a fact, that Derek Sanders WAS involved in the assault on “The American Renegade” Nate Rulez. Perez said that he would deal with that in due time, but as for last nights GYM WARS, Sanders would have to wrestle twice, so that he would be on an even playing field with his number one contender later in the evening. 

 

NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH FOR THE APW WORLDWIDE INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP

In what was a hard fought opening GYM WARS contest that saw many close two counts by APW Official Sparkey Ballard, it appeared that “Wrestling Personified” Rik Luxury had pulled the wool over the eyes of Jeckles the Jester again. Towards the end of the match Luxury distracted the referee long enough to grab a chain he had concealed in a turnbuckle pad. However after the 1-2-3 was counted and Luxury’s hand was raised as the new number one contender to the APW World Wide Internet Championship, APW Official Matt Carlos came to ringside and informed Ballard he saw the match on a monitor in the back and witnessed “Wrestling Personified” hide the chain in his boot. After some coaxing from our great GYM WARS fans Ballard checked Luxury’s boot and sure enough he found the chain. The decision was automatically reversed and Jeckles the Jester was declared the NEW number one contender to the APW World Wide Internet Championship and would face Sanders later in the night.

MONEY VS HEART

The second match of the evening, was the first match of the night for the APW World Wide Internet Champion as “The Boss” Derek Sanders squared off against “The Latin Dragon” Junior Morales. Morales, who has quickly become a fan favorite in APW, showed a lot of heart in this match up. However heart was not enough to take down the best body that money can buy, as Sanders made short work of Morales, finally finishing him off with the F-5.

GROUND VS POUND

This match is one that the APW fans have been looking forward to ever since September of last year when Association member “The Pitbull” Tito Aquino turned on his tag-team partner “The Asian Sensation” Dana Lee. This was a brutal match in which both opponents quite simply beat each other into a pulp. The WARZONE was rockin’ once again during this brutal match as it spilled out into the front row right into the laps of the GYM WARS Fans. In the end after “Nice Guy” Vinny Massaro distracted the official, Oliver John gave Dana Lee a devastating piledriver that secured the victory for “The Pitbull”. This is one feud that we have not seen the end of yet.

ITALY VS MEXICO

After a back and forth match between “The Italian Assassin” Chris Colioni and The APW Legend Chicano Flame, it was Chicano Flame pulling out the victory via a school boy roll up for the pin-fall. After the match Colioni was not happy with APW Official Matt Carlos’ decision. After beating Carlos down “The Italian Assassin” threw Matt over the top rope and into the front row of the WARZONE. Within seconds APW Official Sparkey Ballard and APW Senior Official Tom Castor were down at ringside along with a score of security guards. Carlos was taken to a nearby medical facility. Doctors have not released any information on his condition at this time.

As this was going on Vinny Massaro was assaulting Chicano Flame in the locker room. The fight spilled back out into the Garage where after gaining control over The APW Legend, Massaro removed the mask from a Chicano Flame as an ultimate sign of disrespect. The Association member then informed the crowd that later in the evening he would be collecting the $7,500 bounty for the mask of Mr. Wrestling #4.

TECHNICAL VS HIGH FLYING

In the fifth match of the night the GYM WARS Fans were treated to an exhibition match between one of the greatest technical wrestlers in Northern California today “The British Messiah” Timothy Thatcher and one of Nor-Cal’s most popular high flyers, Kid Omega. Following a back and forth fight it was Thatcher who was able to get the victory by making Omega tap out to his modified crossface submission. After the match Association member “Nice Guy” Vinny Massaro attempted to remove the mask from Kid Omega. When APW Official Sparkey Ballard attempted to intervene, Massaro shoved Ballard to the ground. Massaro then called out Mr. Wrestling #4 and told him that he would be collecting $7,500 for his mask tonight!

BATTLE FOR THE BOUNTY

Mr. Wrestling #4 appeared to snap during his entrance and just went after Massaro who wanted no part of #4. After the introductions were through both men fought hard, #4 to keep his mask, and Massaro to collect the bounty. When it appeared that #4 was in total control however, Tito Aquino attempted to interfere in the match up and APW Senior Official Tom Castor was forced to disqualify Vinny Massaro. As the two Association members were laying the boots into Mr. Wrestling #4, Chicano Flame reemerged wearing a different mask, coming to the aide of #4. After successfully scaring off The Association, Mr. Wrestling #4 made a statement, much to the delight of the APW Fans, to any and all of the bounty collectors out there, that he would not go down with out a fight, and ripped up a copy of the bounty poster. 

After Intermission Commissioner JJ Perez announced that if any Association member so much as sticks their nose through the curtain during the main event, “Old School” will be disqualified and the APW Universal Title will be awarded to Dylan Drake.

APW WORLD WIDE INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

In a true battle for the APW World Wide Internet Championship (which will be viewable in the near future on the APW youtube account in it’s entirety), “The Boss” Derek Sanders and Jeckles the Jester fought tooth and nail for the title. In the end when “The Boss” realized that he couldn’t win the title fair and square, he gave Jeckles a low blow to get himself disqualified, which allowed him to keep his Internet Title. 

APW UNIVERSAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

In a match that some are calling an instant classic, and others are calling the GREATEST match in APW history, Dylan Drake and the APW Universal Heavyweight Champion “Old School” Oliver John took each other to the limit. LITERALLY! After 30 minutes of hard fighting, clawing, scratching, suplexing and gut busting action, the time limit in the match expired with Dylan Drake still clutching Oliver John in his new submission move. APW Senior Official Tom Castor was forced to call this match a draw, which means that “Old School” Oliver John is STILL the APW Universal Heavyweight Champion. However it was Dylan Drake that left the ring completely under his own power. This is a situation that is far from over and the Pro Wrestling Council and APW Commissioner are hard at work trying to come up with a solution. We will keep you posted.

We thank you once again for making GYM WARS possible and we look forward to seeing you all at our next show on September 6th, 2008 as the APW Boot Camp and All Pro Wrestling proudly present GYM WARS!!! To see photos from last nights show click HERE.
