Show opened up with a great back and fourth contest with Bobby Sharp vs Jeremy Prophet. Sharp defeated Prophet via pinball.

Second contest was Tokyo Nakanoue vs Filthy Phil Atlas, this match featured some comedy and back and fourth forearm strikes and strikes. Very entertaining. Nakanoue wins via pinball.

Third match was British Bruiser vs Amazing Spider-Man. The kids loved this match with some high-flying moves from Spidey and power moves from Bruiser. Fun match with Spider-Man winning via pinball.

Fourth match was The Cuban Assassin vs René Dupré. This match was a brawl that went all over the building, with back and fourth action in and out of the ring. Match ended in a count out. After the match Atlas and Bruiser ran out and helped Cuban attack Dupré, Sharp and Nakanoue came out for the save. Dupré got on the mic and challenged Cuban, Atlas and Bruiser to a six man tag.

After the intermission the main event was the six man tag between René Dupré, Bobby Sharp and Tokyo Nakanoue vs The Cuban Assassin, Filthy Phil Atlas and The British Bruiser. Action packed match with both teams getting the upper hand many times. Dupré hit an Ace Crusher and Sharp hit a Frog Splash for the pin.

After the main event Dupré got on the mic thanking fans for coming and saying that if there were no fans, then they couldn’t do what they do. René also told the crowd that his mother is an Islander, which got lots of cheers.

Overall great show. Souris crowd seemed to be the biggest of all 3 PEI shows and I hope they come back!

“Great show once again Rene Goguen, always a pleasure to see your crew come to our town.”

“Awesome show, great action!”

“the Blacks Harbour event ...was the first time I saw Rene Dupree wrestle since his pre WWE days when he was just getting started and wow he is phenomenal! I was blown away by how talented he is..... All the matches were excellent and The Cuban Assassin is as crazy as ever and watch out for the spike lol. Classic Cuban! Folks make sure you see them when they are in your town, it’s a high calibre night of action packed wrestling. You won’t be disappointed.”

“awesome... the family rivalry of the Dupre’s and the Acevedo’s is continuing and theses guys have hated each other since Richie Acevedo ruined Rene’s sand castles at Parlee Beach when they were kids. get out and support the show when its in your neck of the woods, and remember, the wrestlers you see here can be the stars of tomorrow.”

“The guys worked hard and the fans were into it. Decent crowd. Wish there were more. A good time was had by all.”

“Show in the Baie was awesome! Crowd was really into it and was pretty loud, the guys all put on a solid show. Looking forward to Bouctouche now!”

NEW ERA TOUR - ATLANTIC GRAND PRIX WRESTLING - JULY/AUGUST 2014

NEW ERA TOUR 2014 PROMO 1

Grand Prix set for another summer tour in the Maritimes

With summer here, it's time to announce another tour for Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling in the Canadian Maritime provinces.

Rene Dupree, one of the leading gaijins wrestling in Japan, working for the Wrestle-1 promotion, is once again spearheading the tour.

While on tour in Japan, Dupree told SLAM! Wrestling what fans can expect this year.

"Fans can expect they'll be getting their money's worth for their price of admission," he said, promising "passionate wrestlers living their dreams."

Names booked for the tour include Dupree, Yasufumi Nakanoue, the Cuban Assassin, Bobby Sharpe, and Jeremy Prophet.

Naturally, there are a lot of traditional stops from previous tours of Atlantic Grand Prix, which dates back to the 1970s when his father, Emile, ran the territory -- which was always a favourite for the wrestlers because of the short drives, wonderful weather and Maritime hospitality.

Dupree concedes that he learned quite a bit from running a very similar tour last year.

"I learned that setting up the ring, tearing it down, booking the show, doing the ring announcing and wrestling 20-30 minutes every night, seven nights a week, will drive you insane," he chuckled.

Promising "Tomorrow's Superstars Today," Dupree is certainly eager to get Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling out of the gate for another season.
