Hour #1
**Derek St. Holmes came out and called his protege and APW Heavyweight champion Uriah to the ring. He demanded that Uriah make a decision; him or Jessica Hatch. Just when it looked like Uriah was ashamed of his actions, Jessica Hatch came out in a tight skirt and top. She tried to persuade Uriah that St. Holmes was just using him, and that she really cared for him. Just when it looked like Uriah would succumb to her charms, Matt Willig came to the ring. He was furious with Jessica for using him last week, when he helped shield her from St. Holmes only to be attacked from behind by Uriah. Hatch told Willig that he never asked anything from him and that if he hadn't cheated in the first place and knocked out her real man, Uriah none of this would have happened. This brought St. Holmes back into the conversation which looked ready to explode. Summer Delin then came out and tried to soothe Willig telling him not be stupid like Uriah and to fall for Hatch's slutty antics. This caused a final erruption from Uriah who attacked Delin, causing Willig to have to save her. Commissioner Jack Larkin came to the ring and said the score would be settled tonight. A mixed tag match with Uriah and Jessica Hatch against Matt Willig and Summer Delin, with Derek St Holmes as the special guest referee.
Women's Tournament - Quarterfinal #3
Amy Bates defeated Rain by pinfall
**the 4th quarterfinal, Jessica Hatch v Annie Social was delayed until next week due to Hatch's involvement in tonight's main event
Non-title match:
Eddie Chavez & Asp Evergreen defeated Thaddeus Coleman & Ricky Foley by pinfall when Evergreen pinned Foley
**it looked like Chavez and Evergreen were on their way to victory when Grindhouse Barbie came down and interfered enough to give the tag champs the advantage. Jen England however, who lost to Barbie last week, came down for a little revenge and tripped up Foley to give the advantage back to the former champions. England and Barbie then had the obligatory cat fight.
Gregor Wynn defeated Steve Corino by countout
**Wynn got the err..win, but Corino got the moral victory when frustrated by their constant interference he fought through Ivan, Svetlana, and Katrina instead of trying to get back into the ring.
Mentallo defeated Jack Hasse by pinfall
Hour #2
Instant Replay Match
Collin Green defeated Raymond Bingham by pinfall after a springboard backelbow.
**Green gained the first fall in this match after about 10 minutes of hard action, but upon further review it was noticed that his foot was just parallel to the bottom rope when he made the pin on Bingham. The commentators noted that even if the ref had seen it chances are it would have been allowed. But upon review by the letter of the rules, the foot was under the ropes so the pin was not valid. This allowed Bingham a nice rest as well after having been beaten from pillar to post the last few minutes. However, later in the match Green used the rules to his own benefit. Having been soundly beaten for a few minutes he managed to roll through a bodypress attempt by Bingham and used a handfull of tights to get the pin. He must have known it would get reversed but he rested while the review went on, while Bingham foolishly went on a rampage that sapped most of his energy. Soon enough Green took control of the match again and picked up the clean pin.
April Hunter defeated Jody Christmas by disqualifiation when Christmas attacked Hunter with a steel chair[Jody Christmas retained the APW Television Title]
**last week Christmas complained there was no more competition for his television title. April Hunter as assistant to commissioner and owner Jack Larkin promised him competition this week. Christmas was surprised when former women's champion April Hunter herself came out of retirement to provide that challenge. Maybe it was just the shock, or lack of preperation by the champ, but Hunter had him rattled all match long, and the champion had to save his title by getting intentionally disqualified.
Main Event
Mixed Tag Match; The women were only allowed to fight the other woman
Matt Willig had pretty good luck with his battles against Uriah. Part of this was due to Uriah's confusion with Derek St. Holmes and Jessica Hatch pulling him in two seperate directions. Jessica Hatch at first had success against Summer Delin, but when St. Holmes started to let Delin get away with questionable tactics the fans loved it and the match turned in her favor. When Hatch made a tag to Uriah St. Holmes would turn his back at the last second so as not to see it, then order Uriah out of the ring. Finally Uriah had seen enough and refused to leave, causing Willig to come in and the four did battle. But when St. Holmes tried to push Uriah out of the ring the Heavyweight champ chokeslammed his manager. Jack Larkin came down to the ring with some refs to restore order and dq'd Uriah for attacking a ref. Frustrated by what was transpiring Uriah took advantage to the confusion to grab Larkin around the throat and deliver a chokeslam to the owner.

Hour #1
Owner, Jack Larkin comes out, pissed off about being chokeslammed by Uriah the heavyweight champion. He sets up another title shot tonight for Matt Willig, this time though Jack appoints himself as the special referee. Jessica Hatch comes out with Uriah. She hands Larkin the papers that make her the new manager of Uriah, and terminate his previous agreement with Derek St. Holmes. Hatch says that Larkin had better not be planning to screw her and Uriah tonight. The owner says he's sure Hatch will get screwed tonight, but not by him, and then mentions some local bars she might want to check out to make sure she gets her nightly quota.
Opening bout;
Wes Shivers defeated Donnie DiCaprio by pinfall
**the former football star gets back on the winning side of the ledger, defeating one half of the former tag team champs
Bout #2 - Open Challenge
Rulon Gardner defeated Raymond Bingham by submission to a half-Boston crab
**Bingham was out running his mouth as usual and saying that he was a lost breed here in APW and in pro wrestling in general; a technician. He challenged anyone in the back who thought they were a better technical wrestler to come out and face him. The fans were shocked when of all people Rulon Gardner came to the ring. Rulon had a short run in APW when it was known as Mid-American Pro Wrestling in the last decade. He is better know for his amateur career including Olympic Gold medal, and unfortunately for being on this season's Biggest Loser. In fact once the shock wore off Bingham began to insult Gardner calling him Fatso, lard ass, and assuring him he was indeed the Biggest Loser. But come match time Garnder used a ground and pound game plan where his weight was an asset. The fans initial cheers however turned to boredom as they watched a pretty tedious match.
Bout #3
Handi-Cap Match
Gregor Wynn & Ivan defeated Steve Corino by pinfall when Wynn pinned Corino
**As per usual Wynn let his man Ivan do the dirty work for him and refused to tag in. At one point he even took a seat at ringside and had Katrina give him a neck rub while Svetlana acted as a foot rest. Ivan had his troubles with Corino showing that 100 extra pounds of beef were no match for experience and heart. Corino though made the mistake of going after Wynn sending him flying out of his chair. However, this allowed Ivan to clock Corino over the head with the discarded chair as the ref was distracted by Katrina who lay on the floor feigning injury. Wynn then took the opportunity to get the win himself instead of allowing his bodyguard Ivan from finishing.
Bout #4
the 4th Quarterfinal Match for the vacant APW Women's Title
Annie Social defeated Jessica Hatch by countout
Hatch had her moments early in the match but Annie Social's vicious side finally came out and for once she heard the cheers of the fans as she ripped Hatch apart. First chance she got though Hatch bailed and took the countout. Grabbing the house mic before leaving the area she said she doesn't need to dirty herself like this anymore by wrestling, or need the women's title, because she has Uriah to take care of.
Hour #2
Bout #5
APW Television Title Match - Return Bout
Jody Christmas defeated April Hunter by pinfall
[Christmas retained the APW Television Title]
**It was a hard fought contest, but perhaps having a week to prepare instead of being a surprise like last week helped Christmas enough to get past this formiable challenge. Christmas actually gave Hunter a big of a nod/salute before leaving the ring with his title to tell her that she had pushed him to the brink.
Bout #6
APW Tag Team Title Match
Thaddeus Coleman & Ricky Foley (/w Grindhouse Barbie) defeated Asp Evergreen & Eddie Chavez (/w Jen England) by pinfall when Coleman pinned Evergreen
[Coleman & Foley retained the APW Tag Team Titles]
**Evergreen & Chavez back together again, considered probably the 2nd greatest tag team in APW history (next to the Spinebusters: Bryan Caruthers & Jerry Orth) trying to recapture their gold from the big, tough, former football stars. The X-factor at ringside is the presence of the women in each corner. Coleman and Foley controlled early, and Evergreen played Ricky Morton until he made the hot tag to Chavez. However, Asp and Eddie could not quite finish off the champions who continually kicked out of close tags. Finally Grindhouse Barbie tried to interfere but was pulled away by Summer. This led to the men joining them outside the ring and Coleman managed to run Evergreen from behind, driving him into the ringpost. Back inside Evergreen was easy pickings.
Main Event
APW Heavyweight Title Match
Special guest referee; Jack Larkin
Matt Willig (/w Summer Delin) defeated Uriah (/w Jessica Hatch) by countout
[Uriah retained the APW Heavyweight Title]
**the commentators did talk a bit about how everybody in APW seems to be taking on female managers and valets as of late. Not that there is anything wrong with that. However, in this match the women could not keep their hands to themselves and the inevitable catfight broke out. Although he was not defeated Matt Willig was having a real tough time trying to get a sustained advantage on the uncanny like strength of the champion. Maybe he caught a break when the catfight broke out and Larkin sent both women to the back. Whatever Larkin's intentions on revenge may have been didn't pan out because as Jessica Hatch was heading up the ramp Derek St. Holmes appeared from the back and met her half way. He began to assault her, and even when Summer Delin tried to help her nemesis St. Holmes sent her flying with an elbow to the face. This is what caused the champ to leave the ring, to help out Hatch, and he was counted out as he chased Uriah to the back.
