All American Pro Wrestling Executive Producer Chris Hagstrom has been released from the hospital following an incident at the Saturday, Sept. 22, “Collision” taping.

Hagstrom was inadvertently struck by Edmund “Livewire” McGuire during a contract signing for the AAPW Heavyweight Championship match between McGuire and champion Mike Masters.

Reviewing the tape told AAPW officials the whole story, and the incident is under review. Owner Sean Chambers said he has no comment at this time.

The footage of the contract signing will be released on Episode 24 of “Collision,” which debuts Oct. 6.

Hagstrom was taken by ambulance to a local hospital following the incident. He was diagnosed as having suffered a concussion and re-aggravated a pre-existing orbital bone injury.

On Sunday morning, Hagstrom told AAPW officials that he’s still in a tremendous amount of pain and that while he graciously accepts the well wishes of all the fans, he plans to remain out of the public eye for the time being.

He also wanted to thank the fans for their continued support of AAPW and express ensure them there will be retribution for the responsible party.

Everyone in the AAPW office and locker room send their thoughts and best wishes to our friend and colleague as he recovers.

AAPW returns to action Oct. 20 for “Zero Hour,” our sixth-anniversary event, and a benefit for the American Cancer Society. Stay tuned for more details.
