"XXX Mack Daddy" Jimmy Ripp, "Hollywood Mack" Slick Rick
Turner, Nathaniel "2" Sweete, "Clay Dogg" Jason C. Clay &
"Cholo" Max Marquez all came out and pretty much put down the Pinole fans, and
drew a lot of heat for it. Ripp says when he beats Comini tonight, he will be the new APW
lightweight champion.

(APW CUP)
"Brown Bomber" Robert
Thompson
vs
Chris "PsYcHo" Ward
I love Bombers new clothes & music. Bomber wrestling in an opening match? Perhaps for
the first time since the first ever Gym Warz. Not a bad match, as Ward tried to keep it
outside the ring and Bomber wanted to be inside. When Ward got the advantage he would put
on his clown mask and breakdance in the middle of the ring! Not only does he have a better
moonwalk than Tracy Smothers, but he can do floorwork too :0) Bomber took this match very
serious, and after a hard fought match, he nailed Ward with the airplane spin neckbreaker
for the victory. Chris Ward thought he won when he heard the bell. A guy in a suit &
tie came out to ringside to study this match, but never got involved.
Winner: Robert Thompson ( * * 1/2 )

Interview with Shane Dynasty & "La
Migra" Maxx Justice
Dynasty pretty much talked about how Maxx Justice should be getting a title shot
tonight instead of Chicano Flame 3, and since he isn't, he will make Modest pay for it.

The Blood Brothers
(with Shane Dynasty)
vs
The Chicano Flames
Not a bad match, the Blood Brothers were ok as a team. I don't think Original Flame ever
got in the ring, and the BB's tore up Flame2 all night long. Flame2 did a springboard
somersault plancha to the outside on the Blood's that got a huge pop. He is a great young
athlete, but he need to work on tag matches more. He never made the tag, and ended up
getting pinned after a Cold Blood legdrop. The fans really liked the match, and they could
easily tell who was face & who was heel. Blood Brothers seem to be headed for the top.
Winners: Blood Brothers ( * * )

"Cowboy" Frank Murdoch
vs
"Hollywood Mack" Slick
Rick Turner
(with the Mack Daddy XXXPress)
I think Slick Rick's enterance is my favorite. The entire XXXPress was with Turner, and
they surrounded the ring to put the odds in Slick Rick's favor. Murdoch stood alone, and
did his best to fight off all of them. The guy with the suit & tie who was watching
Ward/Bomber came out again, and took interest in this match. After a pretty good match,
which was pretty much all Murdoch, the "Cowboy" landed the standing bulldog and
pinned Turner. The entire "Mack Daddy XXXPress" got in the ring and mobbed
Frank. The were really putting the boots to him until "Gigolo" Vinny Massaro
made the save with a chair. The fans went wild for Vinny! He got the biggest pop of the
night so far. Murdoch & Massaro shook hands and left to the cheers of the crowd.
Winner: Frank Murdoch ( * * )

"Mad Mosher" Boom Boom Comini
vs
"Mack Daddy" Jimmy Ripp
(with the Mack Daddy XXXPress)
Just as everyone thought, this was going to be a total mismatch. What offense could Ripp
possibly put up against Comini, who outweighs him by 200 pounds? Comini just toyed around
with Ripp, nailing him with hard chops & any power move he could think of. Comini
charged Ripp in the corner for an avalanche, but Ripp sat down and hit his infamous
"ball shot". Comini went down for the first time. Nathaniel Sweete distracted
the referee, and Max Marquez handed Ripp a radio. Ripp nailed Comini with the "Boom
Box" and got the pin. That is the advantage of having 5 guys with you.
Comini got the mic and called Ripp back, he asked if the fans saw him get hit with the
radio, and they all wanted to see Ripp come back and get another beating. Major crowd heat
against Ripp here, as the fans chanted "Bull-(APW)", and one fan even hit Jimmy
Ripp in the jaw on his way back to the ring. "Bull-(APW)" chant is great...that
is one thing, but hitting a wrestler in the face...that is stupid. The guy got ejected,
but i think i would have rather seen Jimmy Ripp lay the "Mack Down" on him.
Winner: Jimmy Ripp ( * * )

"Shooter" Tony Jones
vs
"La Migra" Maxx Justice
(with Shane Dynasty)
A highly anticipated match, that didn't turn out to be very much. Justice did get hardcore
for a while, using a chair & even throwing a table on top of Jones (man that guy is
strong!). Jones hit a couple of nice belly to back suplexes, but the match never seemed to
gain any steam. In the end, Maxx Justice hit a belly to belly suplex and pinned Jones, 1,
2, 3. Suprisingly, Justice gained a clean victory over Shooter in very short time.
Winner: Maxx Justice ( * * )

"Bad Boy" Boyce LeGrande
vs
"Gigolo" Vinny Massaro
This was the match that people had been waiting 3 weeks for. The fans in Pinole
absolutely love Vinny Massaro. This match had it all! What amazing athletes these two are,
they are definatley the Bomber & Modest of the future. I can't even begin to explain
how great this match was, you just had to have been there to know. The intensity of both
men, the heat from the crowd from beginning to end, they all played factors in the makings
of an outstanding match. Boyce hit a hurricarana from the apron to the floor! Once on the
floor, Boyce charged Vinny, Vinny backdropped him, but Boyce sprung off the ropes (while
in the air), came back and DDT'ed Vinny on the floor! Massaro showed (once again) a new
move, a pumphandle slop drop...yes, thats right...pumphandle slop drop...it is called the
"Panty Drop". Too much action to even try to recap, but the end came when Boyce
was going for a superkick, and Vinny ducked and his head landed between Boyce's legs,
Vinny lifted up and landed a running "B*tch Slap" for the win. The crowd popped
big time for the Gigolo's win, and he and Boyce shook hands and showed each other a ton of
respect.
-Modest belongs in WWF -O'Grady belongs in WWF -Grimes belongs in WWF -Massaro belongs in
APW!!!!
Winner: Vinny Massaro ( * * * * 1/2 )
Massaro called out the "Mack Daddy", saying he has a real problem with
him and his XXXPress. The entire XXXpress hit the ring, but Vinny started cleaning house,
the crowd was going wild as the "Gigolo" hit Turner with a Gigolo Drop
(Tommykaze), the nailed Sweete with the One Night Stand (sit down Pedigree), it looked
like Vinny would take on the entire XXXPress, until the finally triple and then quadruple
teamed him. They started putting boots to Vinny, but then, out came Frank Murdoch to the
rescue, he cleared the ring and saved Massaro.
However, as Massaro yelled at the XXXPress while they walked away, Murdoch nailed a Slop
Drop on Vinny from behind! What?!?! Frank Murdoch had turned on Vinny Massaro. Out came
the guy with the suit and tie again, he was celebrating as Murdoch tore into Massaro, and
yelled at the fans. This was a new Frank Murdoch, the fans couldn't believe it. The guy
got the mic, and introduced himself as Al Getz. He said Murdoch got no respect from the
APW fans, and he is now going back to his old ways. He will now be called
"Filthy" Frank Murdoch, and be managed by Al Getz...because "Whatever Al
wants...Al Getz"

"Natural One" Michael Modest
(APW Universal Champion)
vs
Chicano Flame 3
Not sure who was under the mask, but he wasn't a bad wrestler. Looked pretty thin, but
still in good shape. He hit some nice moves, like a split leg moonsault that the fans
popped for. In the middle of the match, Maxx Justice & Shane Dynasty came out to get a
closer view of the action. Modest got distracted and gave Flame3 the advantage. Modest
easily gained the upperhand, and caught Flame3 in the DVD for the win. Not a bad match, as
Flame3 looked a little familiar, but didn't put up the greatest fight against the champ.
Winner: Michael Modest
Maxx Justice jumped in the ring and started pounding on Modest, he hit a chokeslam. Out
came Flame2 and he got chokeslammed. Maxx chokeslammed Flame3, and the fans were stading
on their feet to see all the action. Boyce LeGrande hit the ring, and pounded away on
Maxx, after missing a clothesline Boyce got caught in a chokeslam. There was carnage all
over the place...the fans were in shock from what they were witnessing. Robert Thompson
hit the ring, but he too got chokeslammed! Nobody could stop Maxx Justice, as Shane
Dynasty just jumped around the ring laughing. Then, out of the locker room came Pinole's
favorite "GIGOLO" Vinny Massaro!!! The fans went wild, and Massaro started
laying fists into Maxx. Massaro's momentum was enough for all the guys to get up, shake it
off, and start to tear up Maxx. But then, here comes "Filthy" Frank Murdoch with
Al Getz. They started helping Maxx Justice.
It was an all out brawl! The Pinole fans were so loud you couldn't hear yourslef think.
Modest & Vinny hit Murdoch & Maxx with double stunners! Then they bodyslammed both
men while Boyce & Bomber got on the top and hit double frog-splashes! Murdoch &
Justice rolled out of the ring and retreated back to the dressing room. Chants of
"APW" filled the air, while all of the babyfaces stood united in the ring, what
a moment for APW and the fans.
It was great seeing Vinny Massaro in the ring, now as the top babyface in APW (at least in
the minds of Pinole's fans).
I really don't think the fans wanted it to end there, they were begging for more. They
definatley got their moneys worth, as the good guys seemed to have prevailed, at least on
this night ( * * * )
