The Night All Hell Broke Loose

Announcements from Roland Alexander

Show started with some words from "The Man". Roland stated that tonights main event between Justice/Ripp and Vic/Bomber would be a No rules, No DQ, Tornado match. He also gave some credit to the APW staff, volunteers & wrestlers in training

Interview with Dynasty Inc.

After hearing that the match was No DQ, out came Justice, Ripp, Marquez & Dynasty. Ripp & Dynasty passed the mic back and forth talking trash to Roland about how it doesn't matter what the rules are, because no matter what Maxx is keeping the title. Lots of heat for Ripp as usual, along with the "Crack Daddy" chant.

"XXX Gigolo" Vinny Massaro
(with The Gigolo XXXPress)
vs
Vinnie Valentino

An unscheduled match. Massaro brings out Valentino, who wants to be part of the "Gigolo XXXPress". If Valentino (who is from Little Italy), can beat Massaro, he can be in the group. Not a bad match at all. Valentino showed a lot of promise, and took some good bumps. He is probably about 6' 0" 220 lbs...looks to be in real good shape. Valentino got a few good shots on Massaro, including a spinning DDT, and a great looking sit-down spinebuster. In the end, Massaro caught Valentino with the "B*tch Slap", and got the pin. The fans cheered Valentino's effort, and so did Massaro. Massaro showed a lot of respect for Valentino, and the two of them left together. Another good match by Vinny Massaro
Winner: Vinny Massaro ( * * 1/2 )

"Hollywood Gigolo" Rick Turner &
"Suicide Gigolo" Jason C. Clay
(with Nathaniel Sweete)
vs
"Mad Mosher" Boom Boom Comini &
Chicano Flame

This match had "Tornado Rules", but it didn't seem like Clay, Turner or Sweete were aware of that. BBC & Flame made quick tags throughout the match, and Flame even hit his flying bodypress to the floor on all the "Gigolo's". Comini had locked Turner up in a Boston Crab, but while the referee was being distracted by Nathaniel Sweete, Jason Clay hit Comini with a deoderant spray can, and Turner got the pin and the victory. Not a bad match, but not the best
Winner: Turner and Clay ( * * )

"Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels
vs
Chicano Flame # 2

A suprisingly great match. Flame2 can really high-fly, is an excellent Lucha-style worker and showed tons of heart. Daniels was his usual awesome self, and this match really stole the show. Daniels threw in a couple new moves, a couple variations of the suplex, including a local-motion vertical suplex in which the 3rd one ended in a sit-down suplex/power bomb type move. Amazing! Daniels finished Flame2 off with "Hell's Kiss" (spinning diamond cutter) to get the victory. Once again, this was my favorite match of the night. Lots of near falls, and great action from opening to ending. Fans gave a standing ovation to both wrestlers when it was over
Winner: Christopher Daniels ( * * * 1/2 )

(APW CUP)
"XXX Gigolo" Vinny Massaro
(with Nathaniel Sweete)
vs
"Shooter" Tony Jones

This was a great CUP match. Both men pulling out all the stops, with Vinny trying to keep "Shooter" outside of the ring and on the floor (taking a more hardcore approach to it). Once "Shooter" got the upper-hand, he used his mat skills to keep Vinny down, and try to wear him out. Great technical match throughout. Vinny seemed to have hurt his shoulder, not sure if it was serious or not. Jones nailed Massaro with his finisher, the belly 2 belly from the top rope, and just as he was about to go for the pin, the bell rang. The match had been declared a 15 minute time limit draw. The fans gave this match a standing ovation too! Two stading ovations in a row! APW...APW...APW...APW.. This was a very good match. Vinny wrestled for close to 25 minutes tonight. He also unveiled a move i havent seen used by him before, it was a fisherman's neckbreaker (fishermans position into a spinning neckbreaker)
Winner: Time Limit Draw ( * * * )

(APW CUP)
"No Fear" Chris Ward
vs
"Cowboy" Frank Murdoch

Ward was finally ready to wrestle tonight. However, in the middle of what was starting off as a good match, Ward just snapped and started pounding on Murdoch with his fists. Referee JJ Perez forced Ward to stop, and so Ward left the ring, walked over to the wall, and started banging his head on the wall...as if he was pouting like a little child! He then walked around ringside sucking his thumb! This was getting really weird, as i think Chris Ward has snapped. Ward then went back to the dressing room, and then came back out drinking a cup of water. Frank Murdoch was waiting for Ward to get back in and wrestle, and when he did, he once again beat the (APW) out of "Cowboy". Then, with Murdoch on the ground, Ward began to unlace one of his wrestling boots, and take it off. Now, Ward was just wrestling in 1 boot & 1 sock! This was hilarious! Something is really wrong with Chris Ward. Murdoch caught him off-guard with a bulldog type move, but instead of running, Murdoch just drops your head straight into the mat. A very cool move. Murdoch gets the win over the very disturbed Chris Ward
Winner: Frank Murdoch ( * 1/2 )


Murdoch/Ward post match
After Ward left the ring, drinking his cup of water and carrying his boot in one hand. Murdoch stayed at ringside wondering what was going on. Then out of the dressing room came Rick Turner, Nathaniel Sweete & Jason Clay (with Boxing Gloves). The three of them surrounded Murdoch and jumped him. Turner/Sweete held Frank's hands while Clay pounded on him brutally with the gloves. Donovan Morgan made the save and the fans loved it. Murdoch grabbed the mic and said that Morgan would be in his corner for the Halloween Hell 2 Boxing Match. Clay picked Sweete & Turner. Murdoch needed one more corner man, so he picked a member of the Boot Camp beginners class named Guillermo. The corner men were agreed on and the Boxing Match is now set for Halloween Hell 2. Vinny Massaro came out with his "new partner" Vinnie Valentino and questioned what the rest of the "XXXPress" was doing. They told him they knew what they were doing, and he left them alone, walking back to the dressing room with Valentino.

The Suicide Kid
vs
"The Titan Leprechaun" Erin O'Grady

A great match. These two complemented each other very will with great transitions. Very fast paced match, exactly what you would expect from these two. SK hit an asai moonsault to the floor after tossing Lep out into the War Zone. Once Lep got the upper hand again, he went into the timekeepers room and grabbed a ladder! Lep set up the ladder up against the ticket booth, and was going to climb about 10 feet to the top of the booth! This got the biggest & best "APW" chant of the night. SK got a hold of Lep before he could attempt. Once back in the ring, Suicide had the upper hand and posted Lep on the top rope backwards and nailed him with a reverse superplex (which landed Lep on his face!). Great move, and suprisingly Suicide Kid got the victory over our beloved Leprechaun. Very good match, especially if you like fast paced action
Winner: Suicide Kid ( * * * )


Suicide Kid/Erin O'Grady post match
The Suicide Kid had something to say. He said how it was an honor to be in the ring with someone like O'Grady, and he wished him luck in WWF. He also said he wished he could fill Lep's shoes when he goes off to WWF. The two hugged and the fans cheered. Very good moment for APW. Hopefully Suicide Kid will stay around and try to fill Lep's shoes. IMHO, nobody will ever fill the shoes of Erin O'Grady, but Suicide Kid is as close as you can come. Oh yeah, and man i would have loved to see that Ticket Booth dive!

(APW CUP)
"Natural One" Michael Modest
vs
"Bad Boy" Boyce LeGrande

This was a very good match, and it showed that Boyce is getting a lot more confident. Modest was just too smart and too knowledgable to let the "Bad Boy" get an upset. Boyce did impress everyone by hitting a triple jump splash (similiar to Chris Chetti's triple jump moonsault), but this was when Modest was on the floor! Modest punished Boyce with some hard suplexes that only he could do. And the Death Valley Driver was the finish. Very good match. Modest gains 3 points in the CUP, and he is more than ready for his Universal Title shot against Maxx Justice at Halloween Hell 2.
Winner: Michael Modest ( * * * )

(No Rules Tornado Match)
"La Migra" Maxx Justice &
"Mack Daddy" Jimmy Ripp
(with Shane Dynasty & "Cholo" Max Marquez)
vs
"Brown Bomber" Robert Thompson &
"Vicious" Vic Grimes

Wild match that Ripp/Justice kept in thier hands for about the first 10 minutes. "Bomber" obviously had a hurt knee from last nights match against Tony Jones, but still came to the ring and worked the match. Ripp/Justice knew that and worked on his knee the entire time. Ripping and tearing at the ligaments, leaving Bomber screaming in pain. They also kept Vic on the outside nailing him with chairs and ramming his head into the wall. It seemed like our heros were hopeless as the menacing Maxx Justice & the cocky but quick Jimmy Ripp took turns beating on the two. Bomber finally started to gain some momentum, and climbed to the top rope but Ripp shoved him off to the floor and the injury really acted up. Bomber screamed in pain to get him to the back and forget the match. APW security helped Bomber to the dressing room and left Vic to fend for himself. Vic amazingly had the upper hand for a while, nailing Ripp & Justice with chair shots galore. He even hit an amazing sit-down "face eraser" on Jimmy Ripp, as well as a brutal powerbomb on Maxx Justice. But Justice & Ripp got the upper hand and it looked to be over for Vic. While Ripp worked on him, Maxx Justice went to the timekeepers room and got out a table! He set up the table on the floor, but Vic was too heavy and the table collapsed. Jimmy Ripp didn't care though, he still hit Vic with a splash from the 2nd buckle to the floor! They even took the fight outside the Garage. I couldn't see this part that good, but i think Vic threw Ripp inside of a dumpster, and shut the lid. Then when he openend it again, Ripp had a piece of a table and he clocked Vic with it! Maxx Justice & Jimmy Ripp were back in the ring beating Vic and ready to finish him off. Justice powerbombed the 350 lb. monster, and then hit him with the chokeslam. It looked to be over...but then out of the dressing room came Michael Modest! Modest cleaned house, helping Vic Grimes who was left without a partner. Modest got a trash can and nailed Justice with it. Ripp jumped on Modest and the two brawled. Justice grabbed the trash can and was about to powerbomb Modest onto it, but referee J.J. Perez tossed the can out of the ring
Justice was outraged and he chokeslamed Perez! Modest jumped on Justice and then set him up for the Death Valley Driver...BAM!!! Justice was reeling. Then out of the dressing room came Robert Thompson, with a referee shirt! Vic Grimes got on the top rope and hit a huge splash on Justice, while Modest held back Ripp, "Referee" Robert Thompson counted the 3 on Justice.
Winner: Thompson and Grimes ( * * * )

Ripp & Justice/Thompson & Grimes post match
The fans loved it and for the second straight night, the show ended with an "APW" chant. Modest spit on Justice, while he walked away from the ring. Thompson, Grimes & Modest got huge cheers from the crowd. Justice tossed a chair at Modest and walked away vowing to get revenge at Halloween Hell 2.
