Not even a rainy night could keep Gym Wars fans from taking in a night of All Pro Wrestling. The show had a little bit of everything and was shaping up to be good show. This show had a few outside wrestling talent on the show and it seems as of late that All Pro Wrestling is having the worst of luck with outside talent. Either they are talented but disrespectful or flat out have no business being in an All Pro Wrestling ring. What took place at the end of the night was something nobody is proud that it happened and needs to be addressed. The Gym Wars fans absolutely deserve better…
It what can be either considered a historic moment or one of the darkest days in All Pro Wrestling history, “Rock Legend Scum” Adam Thorntsowe became only the second double champion as he holds both the APW Internet Title and the APW Universal Heavyweight Tittle. What took place on this night will have caused some major issues in APW on the handling of outside talent being booked.

Aside from solid wrestling, two ways to get my attention are superior graphics and a well booked tournament, and having it be women’s wrestling certainly adds it’s own appeal.
Chickfight is a San Francisco based operation run by Jason Deadrich, and has recently run events in the UK. It features some of the top women wrestlers in the country, and the world for that matter, but the glory of the promotion is a regular tournament that pits eight top women’s wrestlers in a grueling competition.
In the latest DVD installment, Chickfight V, wrestlers from Neo Ladies Pro Wrestling (Japan) join the fray, including Yoshiko Tamura, Tanny Mouse and Sumie Sakai. Tamura is holder of both the NEO Singles title and the NWA Pacific Title; Mouse is a solid veteran; and Sakai is a baby-face looking hardcore dynamo.
Filling out the tournament seeds are ECW great Jazz, the ubiquitous Allison Danger, West Coast standout Cheerleader Melissa, Chickfight IV winner MsChif and one time TNA star Simply Luscious.
Well it was the first of two part special event held this past Friday and Saturday and one I’m sure that was pretty exciting for everyone who showed. 750 fans were treated to seven matches on this night and any show that draws close to a thousand people has got to have the type of juice that can only be found at an APW show. Enough of of my jumbling, here are the results for the first show that took place this past Friday.
Jon “The Strongman” Andersen beat Jeckels the Jester
The Masked Assassins 1 & 2 beat Kid Omega and Super Kid Kayden
The team of Gangrel, Billy Blade and Mike Rayne beat AJ Kirsch, Derek Sanders and Scotty Aboot when Gangrel pinned AJ
MPT beat Tito Aquino
Octagoncito defeated Piratita Morgan
APW Universal Champion, Oliver John defeated KAFU
APW Worldwide Internet Champion, Psicosis defeated Dana Lee
