Cleveland All-Pro wrestling airs weekly in the northeast Ohio market on Sportstime Ohio which is the cable channel owned by the Cleveland Indians. While new to cable tv, they have actually been around for over 13 years. Their website is at capw.net where they also have DVDs of past events available for purchase. This is their third episode of the TV show. Episode four will air on Friday night at 12:30 am with a replay on Sunday at 11pm.

This week's show opens with Michael Cash interviewing the CAPW Unified champion Claudio Castagnoli. He said he's been preparing for the past two weeks for tonight's big 30 minute ironman match against Bryan Danielson and Chris Daniels. He said it should be an exciting match and he will retain his title.

After the opening credits, Joe Dombrowski and Jamie Scott welcome us to the show. They say that tonight will be a night of champions as it will be J.T. Lightning and Chris Cronus taking on Faith N Nothing to determine the number one contenders to the tag team titles and we have the big main event with Claudio Castagnoli defending the CAPW unified title against Chris Daniels and Bryan Danielson.

(1) To crown new CAPW Tag Team champions: J.T. Lightning and Chris Cronus vs. Faith N Nothing

At the top of the show, they said this match was for the number one contendership to the tag team titles, but now that the match is happening, its actually for the tag team titles. Apparently, the titles were declared vacant because the team of Abyss and Unknown defeated the previous champions The Suplex Machines last week, but because Abyss wasn't a contracted member of the match, the titles were declared vacant and this match will determine the new champs. Yeah. It didn't make sense to me either. Lightning and Cronus are accompanied to the ring by Krystal Frost. J.T. Lightning starts out in a staredown with Christian Faith. J.T. hits an early forearm off the ropes, but Faith comes back with a boot to the head knocking J.T. out of the ring. Both men tag out and Vincent Nothing catches Chris Cronus in a release German suplex as we cut to commercial. When we return, Chris Cronus is laying in some punches on Faith in the corner. He whips him to the far corner but runs into a back elbow and Faith follows that with a big clothesline. Vince tags in and hits a series of clotheslines and a body slam. Faith then tags in so he and his partner can hit a double-team neckbreaker on Cronus. J.T. Lightning tries coming in the ring, but ends up getting worked over in the corner. Krystal Frost then runs in the ring and jumps on Christian Faith's back right in front of the referee but he flips her forward to the mat. Faith then picks up Krystal and holds her so Vince can get a shot in, but Cronus nails Vince Nothing with a spear and with the ref distracted, Crystal gives a low blow mulekick to Christian Faith. With the ref still distracted by Krystal, J.T. Lightning came in the ring with a steel chair and blasted Christian Faith over the head with it. He got rid of the evidence and covered for the one.....two.....three. Joe Dombrowski said this was a miscarriage of justice and they should cut one of those belts in half to give to Krystal Frost for her involvement.

Winners and new CAPW tag team champions: J.T. Lightning and Chris Cronus

Backstage, Michael Cash asked Jason Bane for his thoughts on being stripped of the CAPW tag team titles. Bane said that every time he's ever lost a title in this promotion, its been because of a screwjob. He says he's never lost it because of a clean pin. Someone should hook him up with a tape of last week's match. Anyways, he fills us in that next week there will be a battle royal to crown the new CAPW TV champion and he adds that he's held it before and he'll hold it again.

(2) CAPW Unified Title 30 minute Iron Man match: Claudio Castagnoli (c) vs. Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Daniels

This match was the main event of the CAPW 13th Anniversary show. This was taped back on July 9th. I point that out because Chris Daniels came to the ring wearing the NWA Tag Team Title that he obviously no longer holds. Bryan Danielson was announced as the current Ring of Honor champion and of course Claudio Castagnoli is the current reigning CAPW Unified Champion. The rules are simply whoever scores the most falls in the 30 minutes is the winner. We cut to commercial before the action even begins. Back from the break, the ref signals for the bell and there is a graphic at the bottom of the screen with a clock counting down from the 30:00 mark and a little scoreboard to list how many falls each man holds. The wrestlers all shake hands so the code of honor is alive and well. At about the 29:00 mark, all three men try going for quick pins that register a one count at best. Daniels and Danielson team up on Claudio briefly working over both of his arms, but then they turn on each other. Daniels catches Danielson in a crucifix for a two count and Claudio catches Daniels in a quick pin attempt before Daniels and Danielson resume the double teaming. At about the 26:30 mark, all three men trade monkeyflips but all manage to land on their feet. After some more back and forth action, Claudio catches both of his opponents in hiptosses sending them to the floor and follows that with a dive over the ropes at about the 25:00 mark. Back from the break, Brian Danielson has Claudio Castagnoli in a really nasty looking seated surfboard with 22:38 on the clock. Daniels breaks that up and gives Danielson a bodyslam and spinning elbow drop for a two count. Daniels tries to follow that up with a back suplex, but Danielson slips out and rolls up Daniels with a Bob Backlund style bridge but Claudio breaks that up. Claudio then catches Daniels with a dropkick that sends him flying out of the ring. Danielson catches Claudio with a dropkick of his own and puts the badmouth on him in the corner. Danielson goes to work on Claudio's arm, but Daniels catches Danielson in a sunset flip. There is no count because Danielson is in the ropes. Claudio picks up Daniels in a delayed vertical suplex but only gets a two count with Danielson breaking up the pin. Danielson lands a series of knees but Daniels returns and takes down Danielson to set him up for the best moonsault ever. Danielson moves out of the way but Claudio clotheslines him out of the ring and then catches Daniels in a reverse torture rack drop and scores the one..two..three for the first fall. Claudio leads 1-0-0 with 18:30 left in this one. We take another commercial break and return with 16:00 left on the clock. After a series of failed suplex attempts, Claudio and Danielson try a double suplex on Daniels, but he slips off and comes back with a clothesline. Daniels catches Danielson in a bulldog as he clotheslines Claudio with his free arm. Daniels climbs to the top but gets slammed off by both men and Danielson hits a clothesline on Claudio for another two count. Danielson manages to come off the top rope with a diving headbutt on Claudio for a two count with Daniels pulling him off to break up the pin. The announcers remind us that if Claudio can prevent any more pins from occurring he will retain his title. Daniels hits a back suplex on Danielson and follows up with a lionsault for a two count with 12:53 remaining. Danielson turns things around taking Daniels to the mat and working over his legs where he slaps on an Indian death lock. Then in a crazy spot, he ducks a forearm from Claudio and catches him in a bridging german suplex while still holding the leglock on Daniels and scores a two count. Danielson then turns his attention to Claudio and hits a double arm suplex into a cross arm breaker. Daniels returns, but Danielson manages to knock him out of the ring. This gives Claudio some time to recover and he hits a series of forearm uppercuts on Danielson and goes for the same move he finished Daniels with. Danielson slips out of it and catches Claudio in a dragon suplex which he turns into his cattle mutilation and Claudio has no choice but to submit at 9:44. The scoreboard now has Claudio with 1, Danielson with 1 and Daniels with 0. We take another commercial break and return to see Danielson and Daniels double suplexing Claudio off the top rope with only 6:47 remaining on the clock. After some three way back and forth action, Claudio hits Danielson with his torture rack finisher but Daniels breaks up the pin. Daniels then manages to take down Claudio and hits the best moonsault ever but Claudio kick out on two. Daniels tries to follow with the angels wings, but Danielson nails him with a clothesline. Danielson hits a dragon suplex but Claudio breaks that up. Claudio then tries a dive off the top, but Danielson catches his arm and takes him to the mat for his cattle mutilation. Daniels grabs Danielson out of that and hits the angels wings for the one....two...three with 3:19 remaining in the match. All three men now have one fall a piece. Danielson and Claudio trade multiple reverse pin attempts and lock into a double pin small package at 2:33 but both men kick out. Danielson catches Daniels in a long airplane spin but Daniels counters into a small package for a two count at the 2:00 mark. Claudio grabs Daniels in a powerbomb attempt, but Daniels sweeps the legs into a pin attempt for a two count. Claudio reverses that into a pin attempt and gets a two count himself with 1:29 to go. Daniels catches Claudio in a rollup with about a minute to go but again only gets a two count. Daniels then catches Danielson in a blue thunder bomb for a two count with 0:43 remaining. Daniels then goes for a wheelbarrow suplex on Claudio but Claudio reverses it into a rollup to score the one.....two....three with only 0:18 on the clock as Chris Daniels has a look of shock on his face. Brian Danielson tries one last big move as he gives Claudio a back suplex off the top. He and Chris Daniels both cover Claudio but time runs out. Claudio retains the CAPW unified title with a 2-1-1 victory.

WINNER AND STILL CAPW Unified Champion: Claudio Castagnoli

Thoughts: Good show this week. The main event was excellent and very much a ring of honor type match. Obviously that took up the bulk of the show and that was a really exciting match from beginning to end. I was kinda surprised at the finish since I was expecting a draw. Definitely a good win for Claudio though over two big names. They didn't really do a good job explaining why the tag belts were all of a sudden vacant and the explanation they did give was kinda weak, but the match they had to determine the new champs was decent. Really not too much to complain about on this show. They had a some good wrestling and the show was pretty much all wrestling this week. Next week's show looks like a good one as well with the battle royal and the tv debut of M Dogg 20 as he takes on Johnny Gargano.

NEXT WEEK:

--30+ Man Russian Roulette Rumble for the CAPW TV Title

--Johnny Gargano vs. M Dogg 20
