APW Universal Heavyweight Championship
Jeckles The Jester w/Freckles
vs.
APW Universal Heavyweight Champion
Malachi



APW Universal Heavyweight Champion Malachi will defend his championship
against the man who pinned him last month in the Elimination Tag Team
Match, Jeckles The Jester.
Many APW wrestling fans and many pro wrestling experts believed Malachi to be unstoppable as the APW
Universal Heavyweight Champion. After he destroyed Dylan Drake to win
the championship back in November of last year, many people predicted
Malachi will smash the eleventh month title reign set by Dylan Drake.
Last month, Jeckles The Jester made Malachi look mortal and not the
unstoppable monster.
Jeckles The Jester proved two things, one that Malachi can be defeated and two, the “Joke-Slam” is the offensive move
that can take him to victory. Over the last few months, Jeckles has
been picking up wins and looking like he is back to his 2008 form when
he captured the APW World Wide Internet Heavyweight Championship. The
bizarre jester looks to be as focused as ever to win championship gold
in All Pro Wrestling once again.
After the match, A very upset champion, Malachi, stormed in his locker room and destroyed it. Malachi
has claimed that not only will be defeat Jeckles The Jester at Gym
Wars, but he will crush the skull of Jeckles with his big boot to the
face.
The main event is signed for the APW Universal Heavyweight Championship! Who will win the match between the MONSTER and the FREAK!
Find out on Saturday, March 20th in Hayward, California at the historic
APW Garage!



Triple-Threat Elimination Match
APW World Wide Internet Championship
"The British Messiah" Timothy Thatcher
vs.
"Out of Control" Matt Carlos
vs.
APW World Wide Internet Champion
"Double D" Dave Dutra



The APW World Wide Internet Championship Return Match between the Champion,
"Double D" Dave Dutra and challenger, "Out of Control" Matt Carlos, has
been changed due to an injunction filed by "The British Messiah"
Timothy Thatcher.

Claiming that he was not awarded his opportunity at the Internet title as per the return clause in his
contract, All Pro Wrestling has spent the better part of a week in
discussion with Thatcher's lawyers.

This is not the first time that Thatcher has used lawyers to get his way. A few months back after
losing the Internet title to Mr. Wrestling #4, the title was awarded
back to Thatcher due to the interference of the referee, Shane "OMEGA"
Patterson. Since then, Thatcher has lost the title to Dave Dutra. Matt
Carlos, who won the 2010 "Pick The Winner" Battle Royal, was awarded an
automatic opportunity to challenge for the Internet title. Last month
at Gym Wars, he went one-on-one with Dutra, and nearly had won the
title before slipping from the top turnbuckle and injuring his ankle
during an apparent high-risk maneuver, causing the match to end in a
time-limit draw. The match drew praise from APW fans as well as many
others as an early Match-of-the-Year candidate, and because of this,
All Pro Wrestling booked the two to face off once again.

Now, because of the injunction filed by Thatcher, the match has been
rebooked by APW Commissioner J.J. Perez as a Triple-Threat Elimination
Match: "Double D" Dave Dutra to defend the APW World Wide Internet
Championship against BOTH "Out of Control" Matt Carlos and "The British
Messiah" Timothy Thatcher!

These matches are rare in APW, and immediately drew comparisons with one of the all time classic matches:
A Three-Way Dance between Erin O' Grady (a.k.a. Crash Holly), Chris
Cole, and Donovan Morgan for the APW Light Heavyweight Championship on
June 7, 1997.

The first match between Dutra and Carlos has been regarded as an Instant Classic, and with Timothy Thatcher now in the
mix, will this match live up to expectations?



Singles Match
Chupacabra vs. "The Boss" Derek Sanders



All Pro Wrestling would like to let to the wrestling fans know that Dylan
Drake will be unable to wrestle on March 20th at Gym Wars due to an
injury.

Dylan Drake is unable to wrestle at Gym Wars due to a back injury suffered during training leading up to his match with “The
Boss” Derek Sanders. Dylan Drake wanted to wrestle on March 20th, but
Dylan Drake’s doctors and APW medical physicians on staff would not
clear him to wrestle. Dylan Drake has been advised to take at least a
minimum of 6 weeks off for recovery.

Dylan Drake wanted to let the fans know that he will be back at the our following Gym Wars event
on April 10th and is hoping that his scheduled match this month with
“The Boss” Derek Sanders will be rescheduled on that date. Dylan Drake
would like nothing more to get his hands on “The Boss” and shut him up
for good.

All Pro Wrestling has contacted Chupacabra to take the spot open in the match against “The Boss” Derek Sanders and he
accepted. Chupacabra is one of the most exciting wrestlers in the area
today and has a style that matches up well against “The Boss”.

Will Chupacabra come in and upset “The Boss” Derek Sanders? Will The Reno
SCUM finally get their revenge on Late Night Prime Time? Find out on
Saturday, March 20th at Gym Wars in Hayward, California.



Lumberjack Tag-Team Match
The Reno SCUM
("Rock Legend Scum" Adam Thornstowe & Luster The Legend)
vs.
Late Night Prime Time
("Wrestling Personified" Rik Luxury & "Mr. Prime Time" MPT)
w/ Markus Mac



Signed is a LUMBERJACK MATCH between The Reno SCUM taking on Late Night Prime
Time with Markus Mac. Late Night Prime Time has been running from The
Reno SCUM and also has been using every trick in the book to steal
victories from The Reno SCUM. On March 20th in Hayward, California they
have no place to run and no place to hide in a Lumberjack match. The
Reno SCUM vows revenge and looks to finally put an end to their war
with Late Night Prime Time on Saturday, March 20th at Gym Wars.



Tag-Team Match
Mr. Wrestling #4 & Vennis DeMarco
vs.
Larry Blackwell & Corvus
w/ Matthew Theall



The match signed will be a grudge tag team match pitting Mr. Wrestling #4
teaming up with his long time rival, Vennis DeMarco, as they take on
their common enemies in “The Mountain From Stone Mountain” Larry
Blackwell teaming up with Corvus, both men managed by Matthew Theall.

For Mr. Wrestling #4 this started last year when Larry Blackwell’s manager,
Matthew Theall kept pestering the masked marvel by trying to sign Mr.
Wrestling #4 to a contract. Mr. Wrestling #4 said thanks, but no thanks
as Mr. Wrestling #4 just needs the “4-Heads” in his corner. Matthew
Theall took the approach in that if he couldn’t sign Mr. Wrestling #4
to a contract, that he will end Mr. Wrestling #4’s career. In January,
Matthew Theall set up Mr. Wrestling #4 to be attacked by Larry
Blackwell. Mr. Wrestling #4 suffered damaged ribs and was unable to
wrestler for over 6 weeks. Mr. Wrestling #4 vowed to never let Larry
Blackwell or Matthew Theall injure another wrestler.

Last month, Matthew Theall offered Vennis DeMarco a contract to be managed by him.
Theall told Vennis that he can make a loser into a winner. Though
Vennis DeMarco doesn’t have the best win-loss record in the singles
ranks in APW, the veteran always puts up a good fight and in the last
few months has concentrated on winning his matches with his god given
wrestling ability. Vennis turned down Matthew Theall and once again
Larry Blackwell attacked. Before Blackwell could do permanent damage,
Mr. Wrestling #4 returned and made sure another wrestler would not be
injured. Many of APW wrestling fans where shocked seeing Mr. Wrestling
#4 and Vennis DeMarco shaking hands after their legendary feud in
2008-2009.

Vennis DeMarco in late 2009 formed a tag team with Larry Blackwell. Their record was 0-3 in two tag and one six man tag
team matches. Each time Larry Blackwell blamed Vennis for those losses.
Things turned around for Vennis when he wrestled Mr. Wrestling #4 at
our November Gym Wars in which he wrestled a clean and scientific
match. Vennis was close many of times in defeating Mr. Wrestling #4 and
after the match was over the APW wrestling fans found a new found
respect for Vennis DeMarco.

Both men are looking for revenge against Larry Blackwell. Matthew Theall has contacted Corvus to team
with Blackwell. Corvus is looking for revenge of his own as he was
defeated by Vennis last month. Corvus plans to use his new found
darkness and intensity to help win this tag team grudge match.

Which team will come out the victor in this match? Can Mr. Wrestling #4 and
Vennis DeMarco come together and defeat Larry Blackwell and Corvus? Or
Matthew Theall’s team put both Mr. Wrestling #4 and Vennis DeMarco on
the shelf for good.



Tag-Team Match
"Big Country" Jody Kristofferson & OMEGA
vs.
The Association
("The Nice Guy" Vinny Massaro & "The Texas Hangman" Dalton Frost)



The war between Jody Kristofferson and Vinny Massaro has been raging since
December and Vinny will not stop until he has taken the promising APW
rookie out of the sport. "Big Country" has yet to back down from
Vinny's vicious bullying and has even inflicted some pain of his own
onto the "The Nice Guy".

This Saturday they will take their war into a tag team match as Jody teams with his good friend OMEGA and
Vinny teams will his fellow teammate in the Association, "The Hangman"
Dalton Frost. This match promises to be a wild brawl that maybe even
Gym Wars can't contain.

What does Vinny Massaro have in store for Jody Kristofferson this time? Will we see the end of "Big Country"
or will Jody finally give Vinny Massaro a beat down that many APW fans
have been wanting to see since Vinny's return to APW in 2008?



Also Scheduled to Appear:
"Hard" Cory Dayton
Tyson Thompson
"The Latin Dragon" Junior Morales
"The First Class Male" Steve Stamp
...and So Much More!
