At our last GYM WARS event we saw best friends and tag team partners wrestling each other to a 30 minute time limit draw classic for the APW World Wide Internet Heavyweight Championship. If it wasn’t for an ankle injury that Matt Carlos suffered during the final minutes of the match, we could have crowned a new APW World Wide Internet Heavyweight Champion last month.
The rematch has been signed for Saturday, March 20th at the historic APW Garage when the APW World Wide Internet Heavyweight Champion, “Double D” Dave Dutra takes on “Out Of Control” Matt Carlos. After their exciting and emotional match last month, once again they will have to train to face each other for one of the most prestigious championships belts in pro wrestling today.
Of course the decision for a rematch between Dave Dutra and Matt Carlos did not sit well with the former champion, “The British Messiah” Timothy Thatcher. Thatcher has been calling the APW office in Hayward and demanding his return match for the championship. Every champion has a guaranteed return match clause in their contract, and Thatcher upset that he was not been granted that return match on March 20th.
APW Commissioner, JJ Perez did think about signing the return match on March 20th, but after such a great performance by Matt Carlos and Dave Dutra, JJ Perez felt the APW fans want to see a rematch between those two men, and JJ Perez always does what the APW fans want and signed the rematch for March 20th.
Timothy Thatcher has threatened legal action against All Pro Wrestling, and APW is ready for another nasty battle with Thatcher’s team of lawyers coming up this week. “The British Messiah” and his lawyers already won one battle against APW back in December when Thatcher demanded he defend his title against Mr. Wrestling #4 in a “British Rules” Match. We will keep you updated on the legal battle between APW and Timothy Thatcher in the weeks to come.
Who will win this rematch for the APW World Wide Internet Heavyweight Championship? Does “Double D” Dave Dutra retain his gold or will Matt Carlos get that three count and become the new champion? Find out on Saturday, March 20th in Hayward, California at GYM WARS!

Ever since Dylan Drake was voted APW’s Sexiest Wrestler Of The Year last January, “The Boss” Derek Sanders has had it in for Dylan Drake. “The Boss” cost Dylan a chance to regain back the APW Universal Heavyweight Championship when he interfered in Dylan’s rematch against Malachi last January.
This past Saturday during the Eight Man Elimination Main Event, “The Boss” Derek Sanders took advantage of Dylan Drake back being turned after Dylan eliminated Dalton Frost from the match and “The Boss” quickly eliminated Dylan Drake. Derek Sanders quickly started to rub his victory in Dylan’s face and kept trash talking as Dylan was leaving. Dylan had a enough of “The Boss” and his big mouth and punched him right in the face. This allowed OMEGA to take advantage and eliminate Derek Sanders from the match.
Quickly both men went to APW Commissioner, JJ Perez and asked for a match for March 20th. JJ Perez signed it and it is official that on March 20th, at Gym Wars that Dylan Drake and “The Boss” Derek Sanders will hook it up in squared circle.
Who will come out the winner in this explosive match up between two men who simply hate each other? Find out on Saturday, March 20th at the historic APW Garage in the Hayward, California?
