All Star Weekend 1
Background
On March 24, 2005, PWG announced that the two-night All Star Weekend event would take place on April 1 and April 2.
Storylines
A four-way dance was scheduled to take place between AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, El Generico and Kevin Steen at the All Star Weekend, to determine the #1 contender for the PWG Championship, but it was pushed back to The Ernest P. Worrell Memorial, with the winner scheduled to face Super Dragon for the title later in the main event. Tony Stradlin was originally supposed to be Dragon's challenger for the title but Stradlin signed a developmental contract with WWE, thus forcing him to leave PWG. Steen would win the four-way and unsuccessfully challenge Dragon for the title later in the night. Later, it was announced that Dragon would defend the PWG Championship against Generico and Steen in a three-way dance on the first night of All Star Weekend.
At All Nude Revue, Arrogance (Chris Bosh and Scott Lost) interfered in Frankie Kazarian's match against Tony Stradlin, thus costing Kazarian the match. Later that night, Arrogance retained the PWG Tag Team Championship against The Aerial Express (Quicksilver and Scorpio Sky). At The Ernest P. Worrell Memorial, Kazarian teamed with Lost's former X Foundation teammate Joey Ryan to challenge Arrogance for the Tag Team Championship, but lost the match after Kazarian prevented Ryan from using a steel chair in the match. Ryan turned on Kazarian after the match by attacking him and forming an alliance with Bosh and Lost, thus joining Arrogance. He berated the fans for cheering him over Lost, which would lead to the abandoning of Lost and Ryan's previous alliance X-Foundation in the first place. It was later announced that Kazarian would team with Aerial Express to take on Arrogance in a six-man tag team match on the first night of All Star Weekend.
In other major matches on the first night of All Star Weekend, Christopher Daniels would defend the TNA X Division Championship against Alex Shelley, James Gibson would make his PWG debut against American Dragon and AJ Styles would face Samoa Joe to determine the #1 contender for the PWG Championship, with the winner getting a title shot on night two. Night One The first night of All Star Weekend kicked off with an eight-man tag team match, in which Los Luchas (Phoenix Star and Zokre) and S.B.S. (Disco Machine and Excalibur) took on Hook Bomberry, Ronin, Top Gun Talwar and the debuting Davey Richards. Richards delivered a shooting star press to Excalibur for the win.
Next, Chris Hero took on Chris Sabin. Hero targeted Sabin's arm while Sabin tried to deliver a Cradle Shock to Hero and Hero applied a Hangman's Clutch II on Sabin to make him submit for the win.
Next, Jonny Storm took on Petey Williams. Storm blocked a Canadian Destroyer attempt by Williams and delivered a hurricanrana to Williams for the win.
Next, The Havana Pitbulls (Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero) took on Kendo Kashin and Puma. Romero pinned Puma with a roll-up after dropkicking him into the corner.
Next, James Gibson made his PWG debut against American Dragon. Dragon countered a Gibson Driver attempt by Gibson into a roll-up but Gibson countered it into his own roll-up and pinned Dragon for the win.
Next, Arrogance (Chris Bosh, Joey Ryan and Scott Lost) took on Frankie Kazarian and The Aerial Express (Quicksilver and Scorpio Sky) in a six-man tag team match. Bosh accidentally hit Lost in the ring, allowing Kazarian to deliver Wave of the Futures to both men for the win.
Next, Christopher Daniels defended the TNA X Division Championship against Alex Shelley. Daniels pinned Shelley with a roll-up to retain the title. Daniels issued an open challenge for the X Division Championship after the match for night two, which Chris Hero answered and Daniels accepted Hero's challenge.
Next, AJ Styles took on Samoa Joe to determine the #1 contender for the PWG Championship on the second night. Styles countered a muscle buster by Joe into a Styles Clash for the win.
It was followed by the main event, in which Super Dragon defended the PWG Championship against El Generico and Kevin Steen in a three-way match. Dragon delivered a Psycho Driver to Generico to retain the title.
