Ring Announcer: Shawn O'Vincent
Referees: Rich Bass, Zac Carter, and Brian B.
A near sell-out crowd of close to 400 fans witnessed TRP's 28th Anniversary spectacular!!
1. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake defeated Duke Bronson with The Sleeper. After the match, Brutus gave Duke a haircut using the hedge clippers.
2. Ryan Waters (with "The Manager of Champions" Sean Gorman" defeated The Guy with a rollup and holding the trunks.
3. Matt Taven scored a major upset over Interstate Champion the self-proclaimed "Number One Superstar" B.K. Jordan. Earlier on, B.K. came out to complain that he didn't have a scheduled match, so he put out an Open Challenge. Matt Taven answered the challenge and scored the pin. Afterwards, a very upset B.K. said he never signed any contract to defend the championship. Therefore, Matt won the match, but not the championship.
4. Eric Alden and Shane Alden battled to a no contest, after The Now (Hale Collins & Vick Delicious) interfered. The Now definitely made their presence known in TRP, by savagely beating up the Tag Team Champions. It seems The Now have a quest to beat the Aldens for their championship...and they will have that chance on May 15 in Fall River.
5. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan & "Kidd USA" Jay Jaillet defeated "The Lebanese Prince" Jalil Salaam & "The Ladies Man" Gregory Edwards...when Hacksaw pinned Jalil after the Three Point Stance clothesline.
6. In a match that lasted almost 25 mintues, Isys Ephex won the first-ever Gold Rush Ladder Match defeating Jason Blade, Frankie Arion, and "Straight Edge" Brian Fury. This match featured a golden briefcase hanging high above the ring...containing two Golden Tickets...good for two championship matches anytime in 2009. All four men battled their hearts out for the chance to possibly become champions in TRP, and the crowd was very happy with their efforts.
7. Freight Train defeated Buck Nasty (with "The Manager of Champions" Sean Gorman) in 16 seconds. Before the match, Sean introduces Michael Sain. It seemed that Michael was joining forces with Gorman's clan. When Sean asked Michael to oil up Buck's chest, Michael took out both Buck and Sean...allowing Freight Train to hit Buck with the Big Splash.
8. Johnny Anger defeated Spike Dudley in Tables Match..when none other than Brutal Bob Evans interfered and slammed Spike through a table. After the match, Bob went on a huge tangent, about how he and Johnny have hated TRP for years...how Bob spending thousands of dollars trying to put a rival promotion out of business (it clearly didn't work and never will). Simply, Bob was just being an angry person. At this point, it seems Bob and Johnny have joined forces to "invade" TRP, and take out everyone in their path. After that, Big Daddy Bravo appeared for the first time in several months, after suffering a leg injury. Big Daddy came out to back up Spike, saying he won't allow people like Brutal Bob to come into the PAL and try to tear down a house he built. I'm sure this war is far from over. We'll see what happens on April 10 in New Bedford...when Spike and Big Daddy battle Johnny and Brutal Bob in a Tag Team Tables Match!
Before the main event, Heavyweight Champion "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards appeared on the video screen. He said that he had to surrender the championship, because of his signed committment with another promotion, that has him traveling all over the world. He was sorry he had to make the decision, but it was best for him and the company that he give up the championship. He also said that there was a no better match to have the belt on the line than Stevie Richards vs. "The Epic" Mike Bennett...that lead up to the Main Event.
9. In a hard-fought battle, Stevie Richards defeated "The Epic" Mike Bennett to become the NEW Heavyweight Champion!

Johnny claimed he's been screwed by the referees and everyone else involved with TRP since he has been unable to win the Heavyweight Championship. Johnny said he will now be known as Johnny Anger. Johnny also viciously attacked Brian Ballin the referee, hitting him with a powerbomb.
3. "Mass Appeal" Jay Jaillet defeated J. Freddie Charlesbois by submission.
4. In a hard-fought championship match that lasted almost 20 minutes, "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards defeated Shane Alden by DQ, due to outside interference from Eric Alden. Eddie went after Eric several times during the match. Eric had enough of Eddie's antics, and jumped in the ring...which resulted in Shane being disqualified. After the match, the Aldens got into a heated argument, which led to some pushing and shoving. In anger, Shane challenged his brother to a match for next month's show to see who is the better Alden. If this match does happen, it will be only the second time ever that the Alden Brothers have wrestled each other (the first time was during the 2008 Spindle City Rumble, where the Aldens were the first two in the match).
5. Freight Train & The Guy defeated "The Epic" Mike Bennett & Ryan Waters in an impromptu tag team match. Before the match, Mike tried to get Guy to rejoin their clan.

What followed next was an utter embarassment to Alex Payne and the full video of the Eating Competition will be available soon at www.topropepromotions.com
* "The Lebanese Prince" Jalil Salaam came out to tell everyone that his arch rival Jay Jaillett was not going to be there tonight.

Bravo said that since he could not find Giovanni, he wanted to fight someone and he accepted Salaam's challenge. Big Daddy earned the victory quickly by overpowering Salaam. After the match, Bravo once again called for Giovanni to come out and face him as he looked under the ring where Giovanni was hiding in June. As he looked under one of the sides, Giovanni appeared with a chair in hand and he went to nail Bravo from behind for the third straight month.
