Bayonne, NJ:
WWF, WCW & ECW dominated the wrestling world 10 years ago, as all three promotions fought over TV ratings, fan loyalty & being the best. While these three promotions battled during one of the peaks of the wrestling business, in Bayonne, NJ a start-up company, named Jersey All Pro Wrestling held its first show in front of a few dozen people. Now, 10 years later, JAPW remains strong, while only one of the aforementioned companies remains in business today. Think about how many wrestling companies, especially in the state of NJ have came and gone in the past 10 years. 10 years for JAPW is truly an accomplishment and could have never been done without the passion, love, and support from the great people we call JAPW fans. On 10/27/2007 we welcome you all to help celebrate our 10th year of being in operation, as we strive to present one of the best shows you'll ever see in pro wrestling.
JAPW CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH SET
LOW KI DEFENDS AGAINST "THE WAR MACHINE" RHINO & NECRO BUTCHER!
After much speculation and deliberation, JAPW officials have decided to provide fans with the most explosive main event possible. On 10/27/2007, JAPW Champion Low Ki faces his toughest challenge, or perhaps challenges yet, in the form of "The War Machine" Rhino & Necro Butcher!
JAPW officials spent a lot of time making the decision of who deserved a JAPW title shot. Hernandez of LAX, who is 1/2 of the JAPW tag team champions with Homicide, was considered, but ultimately, the Strong Style Thugz rejected the title match. One must wonder whose call it was amongst the Strong Style Thugz not to grant Hernandez a title shot. Low Ki is not one to back up from challenges, but after being pinned cleanly at "Calm Before The Storm" by Hernandez, one must wonder if Low Ki, despite the image and aggressiveness he displays, is feeling vulnerable right now?
If Low Ki is feeling vulnerable, after a strong near-year reign as champion, how will he handle "The War Machine" Rhino & maybe the most sadistic man in pro wrestling today, Necro Butcher? Both Rhino & Necro Butcher are worthy challengers for Low Ki and should bring the fight and pain on 10/27.
Johnny D. of the D-Factor made it clear that although Rhino has not been seen by JAPW fans in a while, that there was no way his client would not be on the 10th Anniversary Show. Johnny D. told JAPW.net that, "Rhino never lost the JAPW championship anyway. He was stripped of the belt, only for that cocky coward Teddy Hart to win a vacant championship. Low Ki won a gauntlet match to win a championship that was vacated again after Teddy Hart dropped the ball. The fact is this - Low Ki never beat Rhino for the JAPW Championship. Sure, Low Ki might've beaten Rhino in a gauntlet match, but Low Ki never beat Rhino when Rhino was champion, which means Rhino never had his championship advantage in that match. Let's see what Low Ki can do when he has the hungry man-beast right in his face."
Johnny D. also made it clear that Rhino, who also held the belt for almost a year was arguably the most dominating champion ever in JAPW history. Low Ki is looking to become the most dominant champion ever, and to do that he must get by Rhino. Perhaps Low Ki needs this match more than Rhino.
The "x-factor" in all of this is Necro Butcher. While Necro Butcher has been defeated by Low Ki before in championship matches, JAPW officials decided to grant Necro's request for a title shot, as Necro has given Low Ki his toughest matches to date. Johnny D., representing Rhino didn't seem too thrilled about Necro being added to the match, as Johnny said "How the #@*$!? does Necro get a title match? Why is he in our match? He's already had his chance! We don't want Necro in this at all and my War Machine will take Necro Butcher out of the match before Necro even knows what happened to him!"
Necro Butcher, a man of few words, and never one to shy away from a challenge said he will fight anyone, anywhere, and has no problems going through the "War Machine" to get to Low Ki's JAPW Championship.
Low Ki loses his championship advantage in this match, as this will easily be the toughest challenge to overcome in Low Ki's JAPW career. Will he be successful? Will JAPW have a new champion on 10/27? Furthermore, will any prospective members or current members of the D-Factor show up to pledge their loyalty to Rhino & Johnny D.? These questions and so many more will be answered at the 10th Anniversary Show!
ARCHADIA DEMANDS & GETS RESPECT
We told you before "Calm Before The Storm" that we were getting a weird vibe from Archadia. At "Calm Before The Storm" the world saw what we noticed, and that is Archadia is a new man. Demanding respect and feeling under-appreciated, Archadia devised a devious attack that saw him lay out JAPW New Jersey State Champion, The Grim Reefer. Despite winning a huge match over Sal Rinuaro & Seth Delay, Archadia has felt that he's been slighted by JAPW management and decided to take matters in his own hands, leaving Reefer battered & bruised after several vicious & sinister ladder shots.
As a result of the attack, perhaps Reefer let his emotions get the best of him, as it was he who challenged Archadia to a ladder match at the 10th Anniversary show. Reefer vs Archadia for the JAPW NJ State Championship, in a Ladder Match, is officially set. Reefer, who's been on a roll, literally, since winning the JAPW NJ State title from Frankie Kazarian earlier this year, not only goes into this match as a champion, but as a man possessed, as Reefer made it clear he plans on ending Archadia's career at the 10th Anniversary show.
Reefer, who wants to let his actions speak for themselves, did give JAPW.net the following quote, "Tell Archadia it is over. If the guy wanted a title match, I would've just given him the match. Instead this punk wants to play chutes and ladders and at the anniversary show it's going to feel like smoking a fattie when I'm up 20 feet on the ladder, celebrating with the fans with the prestigious JAPW NJ State Title and looking at the broken piles of bones & that bloody mess that people call Archadia."
Archadia, who seemingly is winning the mind-game war, wouldn't say much about his upcoming title match, as Archadia felt he explained himself at Calm Before the Storm. However, Archadia would go on to say that, "Reefer was champion for over 6 months and how many title shots did I get? None. Reefer is lying if he told you he'd give me a title shot. I see how things are done here and you have to look out for number 1 at all times. Reefer can't even go to sleep now without thinking about me, and if I didn't scramble his brain up enough from the shots to the head with the ladder, and if his head isn't screwed up enough with all that crap he smokes, you can trust me, Reefer will be rocking back and forth like a little mental patient after I finally get what I truly deserve- and that is MY JAPW NJ State championship."
Not only is the JAPW NJ State Title on the line at the 10th Anniversary Show, but pride, respect and unbridled fury are also on the line. Perhaps for the first time ever, the NJ State Championship is over-shadowed by the personal issues between the two combatants. One thing is clear, this will be a MUST-SEE match.
BLKOUT in JAPW, TITLE MATCH GRANTED
BLKOUT, who have been off and on with JAPW, have made it clear that after Eddie Kingston made his stand at "Calm Before the Storm" will be in the house at the 10th Anniversary Show. BLKOUT has stated that they will take over JAPW, and they don't care if they have to take out LAX, Low Ki or even JAPW promoter Fat Frank!
JAPW officials, in the interest of the fans, as JAPW officials have been sick of BLKOUT's threats and requests, have booked Ruckus & Sabian against JAPW Tag Team Champions, representing the SST, LAX, Homicide & Hernandez! By putting this match together, JAPW officials for the first time in a while, have a vested interest & bias in a match, as JAPW officials are wanting what the fans want, and that is for LAX to seek & destroy BLKOUT!
However, BLKOUT & LAX won't be alone, as Jay Lethal & Azrieal have invoked their tag team title match rematch clause! So on 10/27 we will have, in a TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
The Champions LAX (Homicide & Hernandez) defending against BLKOUT (Sabian & Ruckus) & Jay Lethal & Azraiel!
This three way tag team match is of epic proportions and many different stories should develop. Not only is BLKOUT looking to ruin the anniversary show and put their mark on JAPW, LAX is looking to remain above everyone else in the JAPW tag team division. LAX might even have dissension in the ranks, based on what happened at "Calm Before the Storm". Jay Lethal & Azraiel, who made it clear they want their tag titles back at "Calm Before the Storm" might have an advantage here, as the champions may be focused on BLKOUT and not the former tag team champions!
Focus is a key in winning championship matches. Are all the teams focused on the champions or are they focused on their personal animosity for each other? BLKOUT is looking to destroy JAPW from the inside in, Homicide & Hernandez want to oust BLKOUT, Lethal/Azraiel want to show they aren't one time fluke champions. Each team has their advantages, but ultimately it will be the team who can get the 3 count who will walk out with the JAPW Tag Team Titles.
With Kingston calling out JAPW and BLKOUT threatening violence and anarchy, could for the first time in their careers, can LAX be saviors to JAPW? Like the plague and other viruses & epidemics, the best way to prevent massive harm & destruction is to nip it in the bud before it starts. Can LAX turn down the ruthless and maniacal members of BLKOUT? If they don't, JAPW may never be the same again.
DRAKE YOUNGER COMES TO JAPW TO TAKE ON BLKOUT LEADER EDDIE KINGSTON!
Eddie Kingston woke up the JAPW world when he took it upon himself to call out JAPW management at "Calm Before the Storm." Recruiting from within, by picking up former JAPW Champion, Slyck Wagner Brown, Kingston made it clear that he plans to own JAPW and run JAPW all through 2007 and beyond!
JAPW realizes to kill a monster you must kill its head. The monster in question here is BLKOUT and its head is EDDIE KINGSTON. That is why JAPW has recruited one of the sickest, baddest and brutal mother-f^$%#s in wrestling today- DRAKE YOUNGER!
It's signed and booked, on 10/27, DRAKE YOUNGER vs EDDIE KINGSTON is on!
Drake Younger has been told specifically to rid JAPW of Eddie Kingston. If he succeeds, Younger will be granted a JAPW Championship match whenever he wants. Younger must succeed in this quest. Kingston has been nothing but poison in JAPW, and is already trying to brainwash talent to see his way, as he did with Slyck Wagner Brown. This could be the hardest hitting match on the card.
THE PHENOMENAL ONE MEETS THE FUTURE
AJ STYLES VS FRANKIE KAZARIAN
The names just keep getting bigger in JAPW, as Frankie Kazarian, former JAPW NJ State Champion, continues his re-emergence, challenging former NWA World Champion "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Kazarian, coming off a huge win by defeating Chris Hero at "Calm Before The Storm" faces one of the best wrestlers in the world today, AJ Styles. AJ Styles, who has challenged and beaten the best not only in JAPW but all around the world, has shown a change in character as of late, preferring the easy way out of tough situations. On the flip side, Kazarian has been a breath of fresh air since rediscovering himself. Two wrestlers at two different points in their career will do battle for supremacy. As always with these types of big name matches, this match will have title implications, as both have their eyes set on the top prize, the JAPW Heavyweight Championship!
BEST OF THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHTS 10 IS SET!
B Boy vs Joker vs Deranged vs M Dogg 20 vs Bandido Jr vs Sal Rinuaro
JAPW is happy to announce that BEST OF THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHTS, the annual scramble match between the best light heavyweights in the area is set for the 10th Anniversary Show. Many names have contacted JAPW, looking to make a mark and get their name out in this match. This match has launched & made careers for many wrestlers, as previous wrestlers, such as Jack Evans, The Grim Reefer, Azraiel & many others have went on to greater success after this match.
A full list of competitors will be announced soon, but JAPW can confirm that "The New Age Punisher" B-Boy is the first wrestler booked in this match. With B-Boy looking to retire, B-Boy wants to go out on top, which is why he has thrown his name in the hat for this match.
M-Dogg 20, no stranger to JAPW rings, has also entered this match. M-Dogg is a veteran of this match, participating in previous BOTLHW's, and is looking to secure a full-time roster spot. He can do so by winning this match.
Sal Rinuaro returns to JAPW and garners a position in this years annual classic. Sal Rinuaro made his JAPW debut at Calm Before The Storm and impressed management and the JAPW fans with his performance that night, he returns to JAPW to avenge his debut loss and to prove he is one of the best in the world and prove that he deserves a full time roster spot in JAPW.
Two JAPW home-grown stars, Bandido Jr. & Deranged have also entered this bout. For Bandido Jr., it is his chance to stand out on his own with La Familia. The talented Deranged, who is still looking to show the world everything he's got, has told JAPW.net that this will be his year. Deranged is no stranger to winning big time matches in big time settings, and Deranged is looking to capture the glory that the fans and he believe he deserves.
Eddie Kingston and his BLKOUT group have also petitioned and secured the final spot in the marquee match of the JAPW 10 Year Anniversary Show as Joker will be representing the BLKOUT group giving them representation in 3 matches on 10/27. Joker who epitomizes the Strong Style that JAPW is well known for will bring his unique vicousness to a JAPW ring for the first time and will be looking to score big time in a match that has so much history and means so much to JAPW as a company. Will Eddie Kingston and BLKOUT Suceed in ruining the JAPW 10 Year Anniversary Show!
KENNY OMEGA SHOOTS & SCORES!
Kenny Omega debuted in JAPW with fanfare and much hype and like the mailman, delivered. Kenny Omega gave Danny Demanto the best match he's ever had, and while Danny was the better man that night, Omega shined and was well received by the JAPW faithful as the fans demanded he be brought back. JAPW management was listening and answered by signing Omega to the full time roster. Omega, while happy with his debut and being well-received by the JAPW faithful, wasn't ecstatic about losing to Demanto.
However, Omega considers his loss as the only negative thing about his debut, as now every wrestler on the JAPW roster wants to test their skills against him. Likewise, Omega is looking for fresh matches and is looking to prove himself against JAPW's best, but before he does, Omega has demanded a rematch with Danny Demanto and has told JAPW.net, that he didn’t even come close to scratching the surface for what he is capable of in the ring and has promised to pull out all the stops and to show JAPW and Demanto what a determined Kenny Omega can do.
Omega also stated that his ultimate goal is JAPW gold. If Omega can pick up wins against the best in JAPW, it will be guaranteed he'll get a title match on a future JAPW event. The journey starts for Kenny Omega at "The 10th Anniversary Show".
D-FACTOR LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS, PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS DO NOT NEED TO APPLY!
We told you several weeks ago that Johnny D. is looking for new members for his D-Factor. Shortly thereafter, the impressive and massive tag team of Havok & Monsta Mack debuted, obliterating the JAPW ring with EC Negro & Bandido Jr. With Rhino now back in the mix, several people have forgot that Johnny D. is still watching the entire JAPW roster and the wrestling world, looking to add the best & most elite talent to his band of A-list talent. With Rhino, Kevin Matthews, Havok, Monsta Mack & Alicia already in tow, who will be the next to join the D-Factor? The answer to that might be coming sooner than later!
While on Kevin Matthews, Kevin Matthews is 100% cleared and ready to wrestle. Johnny D. said that his client is looking for real matches and will take on anyone at The 10th Anniversary Show. Kevin, who's made light work of the JAPW roster since his return to JAPW, has his eyes set on the JAPW Heavyweight title, but to get there, he must prove himself. Kevin will get that shot at "The 10th Anniversary Show", and it is up to him to see if he will still earn his D-Factor stripes!
Another D-Factor client, "The Blonde Bombshell from Hackensack" Alicia, has ran amok all over JAPW. Alicia, the unofficial JAPW Womens champion & currently the top womens wrestler in NJ has turned back challenges from Sara Del Rey, Nikki Roxx, Daizee Haze and countless others. Who will try their luck against Alicia next? With Johnny D. in her corner, Alicia looks unstoppable.
FUTURE OF LA FAMILIA?
With Diablo Santiago taking time off for personal reasons and Oman Tortuga on the shelf, one must question the future of La Familia. With only EC Negro & Bandido Jr left full-time, it might be time to go or get off the pot. At "Calm Before The Storm", Negro & Bandido fell victims to Johnny D.'s newest acquisitions, Monsta Mack & Havok. Bandido, who's paid the price for Negro's mouth & Negro's actions, doesn't seem thrilled with the association La Familia gives him. The future of La Familia should be clear as day at the 10th Anniversary Show.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!
Every JAPW show has some surprise, what will this years be? Just because something isn't announced, doesn't mean the unexpected & unpredictable can happen, as anything has and will happen in JAPW! All we can say for now is Money, Money, Yea, Yea!
Stay tuned to JAPW.net for more JAPW news and information! We will be updating with more news & notes as they come in, as all roads lead to the huge 10th Anniversary show on 10/27!
