Jersey All Pro Wrestling 3/26 ECW Arena results Posted by Bob Magee Jersey All Pro Wrestling made its return to the ECW Arena for its 100th live show over the promotion's seven plus year history before what had to be an encouraging crowd of 500 people.
Homicide over Jay Lethal
Frank Iadevia and Ray Sager come out and basically try to give Jay Lethal the JAPW Heavyweight Championship. Lethal refuses to accept it without winning it in the ring. Then manager Rick Silver (think Joel Gertner on a diet, minus the MA-rated promos, but just as loud) comes out and says he has a new "client".
Insert shock and surprise here...out comes Homicide. Frank Iadevia worked the crowd asking them if they want to see the match here and now....so the match is to take place next, Homicide vs. Jay Lethal for the JAPW heavyweight championship.
Homicide over Jay Lethal
This was an excellent fast-paced match, as good an opener as I've seen at an independent show in memory...a match that would have been perfectly good as a main event. As usual, Jay Lethal's mom was screaming for her son all match long. The finish saw Low Ki run-in, but Lethal still manages to kick out. Then B-Boy also ran in to interfere, with Homicide getting the pinfall to become the new JAPW Heavyweight Champion.
Carnage Crew defeated Christopher Street Connection
Azrael defeated Grim Reefer. This match was a bit off, but that seemed to be due to Grim Reefer getting his bell rung early in the match.
E.C. Negro came out, only to be told by announcer Steve DeAngelis that he wasn't on the lineup. Negro did your basic delusional heel promo, telling the crowd how tonight the ECW Arena is the "E.C. Negro Arena".
Lights go out..."Back in Black" cranks up...and one of the loudese pops of the night ensues, as Chris Candido comes out to a standing ovation.
Chris Candido defeated E.C. Negro by pinfall
Good solid match with Candido looking like the Candido of old, with a sick looking table bump after Candido puts Negro on a table and went for a legdrop off the turnbuckle. Negro got out of the way, with Candido plowing through the table like a freight train.
Samoa Joe over Low Ki by pinfall
This match was stiff as hell, with the two trading stiff kicks and chops that had even the Arena crowd cringing. Joe was really good here, even going for a tope to the outside.
Trent Acid over Frankie Kazarian
Decent match, but one that looked as if Kazarian was protecting himself somewhat. For the finish, Johnny Kashmere (who'd had an early pre-match schmoz with Kazarian) hits the ring and makes the save for Acid. Acid gets the pinfall after a Yakuza kick.
Post-match, PWU workers and students hit the ring, starting what looked like a brawl between PWU students and JAPW wrestlers. Then Rockin' Rebel and Greg Matthews make a save, sort of.
Rebel then cuts a promo on ringside fans who were heckling him, with comments that sounded as if directed at CZW. A section of PWU fans and students starts a PWU chant, only to get the CZW fans in the crowd going with a louder chant to shout down the PWU section. Finally Frank Iadevia and Ray Sager comes out and tells the PWU crowd to "take their beef with CZW somewhere else", that this is Jersey All Pro Wrestling and not any other promotion.
6-Man Elimination Match
Nino Capone won the match defeating Envy, Matt Donovan, a wrestler announced as being from AAA whose name couldn't be heard, Pinkie Sanchez, and Arcadia. Way too long and out of place in the show. This match should have been much earlier in the show.
Teddy Hart and Jack Evans over Homicide and B-Boy to win the Jersey All Pro Wrestling Tag Team Titles
After a long intermission to get up the cage...this was the wild spot fest it was designed to be with spots like Evans hanging upside down from the top of the cage (head resting on top turnbuckle) and B-Boy jumping with a kick into a trash lid into Evans' head, a Teddy Hart shooting star press turned into an Ace Crusher, a Hart Orihara moonsault from the cage out to the floor, Hart moonsault from the cage into the ring onto Homicide and B-Boy, and a Jack Evans Phoenix splash off the cage.
At one point. all four ended up brawling outside the cage, with some front row fans handing some toys to Homicide, including what appeared to be a metal bowl, a NO PARKING sign, and even a fork. The metal bowl was repeatedly smashed over Teddy's head and eventually used by pretty much everyone in the match.
Teddy juiced bigtime...pretty well for a guy who whined about working a death match in CZW. Homicide carves Teddy with a fork repeatedly. Teddy bleeding so bad he tells the refs he can't see. Low-Ki comes out to help B-Boy and Homicide, with the Rottw...er...Strong Style Thugs...getting the upper hand over Hart and Evans.
The lights went out again...then back on with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart inside the ring. Neidhart interferes in return to help Evans and Teddy win the Jersey All Pro Wrestling Tag Team Titles to send the crowd home happy as the old Hart Foundation music was played, and the crowd walked out chants for JAPW.
Jersey All Pro Wrestling returns to Rahway, NJ on April 23rd.
