Dylan Drake is approaching his six month anniversary as APW Universal Heavyweight Champion, and for the last six months Drake has withstood everything that The Association has thrown at him. From parking lot beat downs, to post match assaults, Dylan Drake has proven himself to have the heart of a true Champion and walked into the ring for each encounter with his head held high, sustained by the support of the APW Faithful who come to Gym Wars each and every month.
“Rock Legend SCUM” Adam Thornstowe has not always been an individual to look up to, but ever since coming back to All Pro Wrestling he has been there for Dylan Drake every time he has been outnumbered. After coming off important wins against The Association in at the past few Gym Wars, Thronsotwe earned himself a shot at the Universal Heavyweight Championship, in a match that will take place on June 20.
Mr. Prime Time has also been in the corner of Dylan Drake since he captured the Universal Championship back in December. A former champion himself, MPT has stood shoulder to shoulder with Dylan Drake and Adam Thornstowe against the forces of The Association month after month, so much that he was rewarded with a chance to be the Number One Contender for the Universal Heavyweight Championship, a chance that didn’t end in his favor when he was disqualified accidentally by Thornstowe.
And now, June 20, 2009 7:00 pm in Hayward, California “Rock Legend SCUM” Adam Thornstowe challenges the Universal Heavyweight Champion, Dylan Drake with a special guest referee in Mr. Prime Time. Don’t miss this match plus many others at APW GYM WARS!

The insane Basketball Playoffs has pitted the WWE against the NBA. While Vince McMahon scrambles to move Monday Night Raw to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and TNA attempts to convert “dejected WWE viewers” to TNA fans by offering a $10 discount to all those who now hold a cancelled Monday Night Raw ticket in Denver, All Pro Wrestling has issued this satement:
"The All Pro Wrestling Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to assure all of the APW Faithful who are looking forward to June 20's Gym Wars that this event will take place, and it will happen in the same location it happens every month: The APW Garage in Hayward California. For the last 18 years APW has been there for all those with a dream of being a wrestling superstar, and for the last 18 years APW has been there for the loyal Northern Californian wrestling fans who want to enjoy the very best professional wrestling offered in all of the United States."

All Pro Wrestling held a completely sold out show at the Salinas Valley Fair in King City that brought people to their feet with an exciting night of intense APW action.
In the opening contest, we saw the heavy hitting tag team of “The Hangman” Dalton Frost and “The Mountain from Stone Mountain” Larry Blackwell take on Chicano Flame and “The Latin Dragon” Junior Morales. Chicano Flame’s Lucha background and Morales’s natural quickness outlasted the unmatched strength of Frost and Blackwell when Chicano Flame was able to get the pin on Larry Blackwell after a flying cross body!
Next, Kid Omega hit 2-0 in APW action over the weekend. Coming off the pinfall victory over Mr. Wrestling #4 on Friday’s Gym Wars, Omega was able to defeat another APW veteran, Vennis DeMarco, after connecting a viscious clothlesline and getting the three count.
The 2009 Young Lion’s Cup winner “The Real Deal” Dan Danielson teamed with Malachai to face “Out of Control” Matt Carlos and “Double D” Dave Dutra that ended with Malachai connecting his ferocious big boot and pinning Carlos.
Jeckles the Jester introduced APW to his new toy, Freckles, who accompanied the Freak to the ring. Jeckles went one on one with Corvus. Jeckles was able to grab a victory by catching Corvus’s high risk attempt with an inverted atmoic drop and pinning Corvus after a Joke-Slam.
In high flying Lucha Libre action, The Technicos with the injured La Parka Azteca defeated The Rudos!
The Lucha action continued when El Chupacabra faced APW Boot Camp Graduate Captain Calico. A back and forth, high flying match ended with Chupacabra connecting the Adios Bomb and catching the pin!
Markus Mac accompanied Nikki the NY Knockout to the ring when she took on 2009 Young Lions Cup competitor, Christina Von Eerie. Distracted by accidentally knocking Markus off the apron, Christina was able to catch Nikki off guard with a jawbreaker and get the pinfall victory!
The APW Universal Heavyweight Champion Dylan Drake put the championship on the line against “The Boss” Derek Sanders. Both APW Boot Camp Graduates kept the action going strong through to the end, Drake retained when Sanders tapped out to the Sharpshooter.
Finally, Mr. Wrestling #4 teamed with “Rock Legend SCUM” Adam Thornstowe and Mr. Prime Time “MPT” to face The Association, “Old School” Oliver John, “Wrestling Personlified” Rik Luxury, and “The Nice Guy” Vinny Massaro. Bodies went flying over the top rope, and Mr. Wrestling #4 connected the running knee lift on Rik Luxury for the pinfall victory!
A great night of APW action blew the roof off of the Expo Building at the Salinas Valley Fair!
Join us June 20 back at the world famous APW Garage for Gym Wars!

Dylan Drake retained the Universal Heavyweight Championship by avoiding Oliver John’s Sharpshooter attempt and rolling him up with a small package!
JJ Perez then announced that Dylan Drake will defend the Universal Heavyweight Championship at June 20’s Gym Wars against “Rock Legend SCUM” Adam Thornstowe! The special guest referee for this contest: MPT!
Jeckles the Jester and Malachai defeated Corvus and Johnny Plinko, when Malachai pinned Plinko after hitting his vicious Big Boot!
“The Boss” Derek Sanders pinned “Superstar” Elliot Fox with a Northern Lights Suplex. Fox showed tremendous heart throughout the entire contest.
“The Hangman” Dalton Frost pinned Chupacabra after the deadly Hangman’s Lariat.
Kid Omega surprised the entire Garage as the APW Faithful witnessed him catch Mr. Wrestling #4 off guard with a quick roll up for the win, as their teammates Junior Morales and Matt Carlos recuperated outside the ring after simultaneously going over the top rope.
“The Mountain from Stone Mountain” Larry Blackwell was able to outlast the 2009 Young Lions Cup winner Dan Danielson once again. After Blackwell aimed for the still damaged ribs of Danielson, Blackwell was able to take advantage of the intense pain shooting through the body of Dan Danielson after completing an awe inspiring Japanese Suplex. Blackwell pinned Danielson after a Big Splash.
Adam Thornstowe and MPT defeated Vinny Massaro and Rik Luxury when Thornstowe superkicked the distracted Massaro, after Rik Luxury accidentally attempted to trip his partner. After the match, Massaro and Luxury had a heated exchange of blame, but ultimately put their differences aside.
Vennis DeMarco ended the APW career of Chris Cole by pinning Cole after smacking him with a loaded glove. Vennis attempted to add insult to injury by bringing in a chair to bid farewell to his defeated ex partner, but Mr. Wrestling #4 was able to make the save just in time. As thanks, Mr. Wrestling #4 was met with a Claw to the skull. Chris Cole saves #4 from blacking out by giving DeMarco a chair shot with all his might.
“Double D” Dave Dutra captured a victory against “Savior of Sins” Mike Rayne by pinfall with the “Double or Nothing”!
Tomorrow night, hard-hitting APW action comes your way in King City, California at the Salinas County Fair Grounds Expo Building. Tickets are only $5 with Fair Admission, with the first bell ringing at 9:00 pm! Check out the APW Booth during the Fair and meet your favorite APW stars.
Also, join us June 20, 2009 at the world famous APW Garage in Hayward, California for another exciting edition of APW Gym Wars!
15 May
All Pro Wrestling presents Gym Wars TONIGHT! From the world famous All Pro Wrestling Garage in Hayward California, a highly anticipated night of wrestling action comes to you with surprises around every corner.
An incredible night has been lined up already, featuring Dylan Drake putting the Universal Heavyweight Championship on the line against “Old School” Oliver John! The 2008 Feud of the Year comes ahead in this epic confrontation that promises to tear the Garage apart as this pair scrape to earn the respect of one another. With Old School’s promise at the Young Lions Cup that The Association will not be a factor in this match, who will emerge victorious?
At April’s Gym Wars, we saw the dissolution of one of APW’s greatest Tag Teams, The Mafia. Vennis DeMarco, blinded by his hunt for revenge against APW Commissioner JJ Perez, turned on his partner of 6 years, Chirs Colioni, after a loss to “Out of Control” Matt Carlos and Mr. Wrestling #4 in what has been called one of the top 5 Tag Team Matches in all of APW’s history. Chris Colioni has since proclaimed that the APW simply isn’t big enough for both Colioni and DeMarco and demanded a Loser Leaves Town Match. As a show that this is not just a wrestling match, but a fight for survival, Colioni will be entering this competition under his real name, Chris Cole. Which veteran will leave APW forever?
While the leader of The Association, Oliver John, has his hands full with Dylan Drake tonight, the war between MPT & Adam Thornstowe and Rik Luxury & Vinny Massaro begins its latest battle. Last month, Thornstowe accidentally cost MPT his shot at the Universal Heavyweight Championship, does MPT still have his best friends back against two of the most dangerous men in All Pro Wrestling?
The 2009 Young Lion’s Cup winner “The Real Deal” Dan Danielson will once again try to scale “The Mountain from Stone Mountain” Larry Blackwell. Danielson felt the unyielding force of Larry Blackwell twice already, but with the added momentum of outlasting seven of the best competitors in Northern California behind him, will Dan Danielson be the first man to topple the Mountain? One has to wonder if his ribs are at 100% yet…
Four men have captured the hearts and imaginations of the APW Faithful over the last several months at All Pro Wrestling. To give back to the Faithful who have packed the Garage month after month, Commissioner JJ Perez signed a Fan Appreciation Tag Team Match that guarantees fast paced action and loads of excitement that will certainly leave all those who witness it with something to talk about around the water cooler Monday. Who will come out on top of this contest? Mr. Wrestling #4 and “Out of Control” Matt Carlos or Kid Omega and “The Latin Dragon” Junior Morales?
Finally, since his debut in APW, “The Hangman” Dalton Frost has been unstoppable. He has knocked countless APW superstars out cold with his deadly Hangman’s Lariat. The latest to try their luck against this mammoth of a man is a beast who is making his return to All Pro Wrestling, from the Mexican Badlands, Chupacabra. Will the Mexican Warewolf be the first man to defeat Dalton Frost, or will his grand return to the Garage be yet another notch in the noose of The Hangman?
This plus much, much more is in store for All Pro Wrestling’s special Friday Night engagement of Gym Wars. Doors open at 7:45, but come early to ensure prime seating. Admission is only 3 cans of food to be donated to the needy around the Bay Area.

Vennis DeMarco is on a quest. He is on a quest to enact his plan of revenge on APW Commissioner JJ Perez, whom DeMarco is convinced is the man behind the mask of Mr. Wrestling #4, and will not let anyone stand in his way, not even his tag team partner of 6 years, Chris Colioni.
Last month, the temporarily reunited Mafia took on the collective force of “Out of Control” Matt Carlos and Mr. Wrestling #4 in a tag team classic that has not been forgotten by all those who witnessed it at April’s Gym Wars. During the confrontation, DeMarco accidentally clocked his partner, costing the tandem the match, in which DeMarco has placed full blame on Chris Colioni.
Chris Colioni has been a mainstay in All Pro Wrestling for quite some time, and has seen a great amount of success in singles competition, as well as being one half of arguably the greatest tag team in APW history, The Mafia.
After the viscous post match attack last month by DeMarco, Colioni has decided to shed all ties that he once had to the Mafia. Chris Colioni has taken on his birth name, Chris Cole, and demanded a LOSER LEAVES TOWN MATCH against Vennis DeMarco for APW Gym Wars on May 15, 2009. A match that will take place.
When the dust settles from this intense battle, only one APW veteran will remain.

Just one day after APW tears up the garage for the monthly Gym Wars, the entire APW crew will travel to King City, California on May 16, 2009 to answer to cries for APW action.
Last year, All Pro Wrestling entertained a crowd of hundreds at the Salinas County Fairgrounds in a historical show that will take everything APW has to offer to beat it. And that is something that we are bound and determined to do.
Only three matches have been announced so far, and they are epic confrontations that promise to bring surprise, action, and umatched wrestling talent that every APW faithful has come to expect from the same wrestling promotion that trained Crash Holly, Spike Dudley, and The Great Khali.

We have just booked a birthday celebration for a young man who turns 7. His parents are surprising him with a pro wrestling party hosted by All Pro Wrestling. This young man will get a live pro wrestling show just for him and his guests. The party is still in the planning stages with pizza and cake a possibility but this young man will have a birthday gift to remember for his entire life. There will be presents, a game of musical chairs in our ring with the winner getting a championship belt. Our last birthday celebration went smooth with the exception of having to get the parents out of the ring. It seems the adults were having as much fun as the kids.
