1. Tom “Popeye” Dowling with his Parrot Peg-Leg; Skull & Crossbones DDT Pin over Psycho Sweetowski.

2. Gerald Bowler with Papa Joe Bowler and The Kingpin Junior Neilson with “El Capitain” Walter Neilson; Double Count-Out. The Bowler’s and the Neilson’s are 2 families who hate each other.

Now they compete in MPW-The Beginning but continue the Family(s) feud. During OOR action where the match was bound, Gerald and Kingpin were on the Press table slugging it out.

2. Mercenary Luc Porrier with Frenchy Martin; Bulldog Pin over Matman Robbie Ellis. This was an example of a braggot taking his opponent too lightly. The hated Mercenary had all he could handle and then some. During OOR Action Ellis was able to smash his Lobster Trap over Luc’s head dazing him. Then several smashed to the steps could have ended the match if Frenchy hadn’t helped Porrier back in the ring. Frenchy used Luc’s Swagger stick to smash Robbie and slow him down yet when Luc was conferring with his manager, Ellis came over and di a Roll-Up. Patton missed some of the pin when he was distracted by Frenchy. Porrier was able to use a Backbreaker Drop and then the Bulldog. 5:22
3. Lailani Kai; Diving Splash Pin over Donna Day. Donna caught Lailani in a Lobster Claw (Boston Crab ) but it was broken by Judy Martin who pulled Lailani to the ropes.

4. Maniac Matt Borne and George Wells; Double Count-Out. During OOR Action the wrestlers traded smashed to the Steel Steps and smashed to the Guard Rail. Neither wrestler seemed to pay any attion to the count as they fought their way up the aisle and to the back stage area. 7:55
5. Angelo Mosca Jr. and Rusty Brooks; Double Count-Out. During OOR Action, Goldie Rogers came to help his crime partner. Mosca was able to hold his own against both.

7. Dr. D David Shultz; Piledriver Pin over Blackjack Mulligan. Mulligan was greeted with a huge ovation. Dr D got some help after Blackjack hooked in the Dreaded Claw. Rusty Brooks (who hates Mulligan) and his toadie came to ringside. Goldie distracted Chad Patton while Rusty helped break the Claw Hold by smashing Mulligan with an actual Blackjack. Patton tried to send Goldie away and the time used with Patton’s back turned was enough for Rusty to help Dr. D lift Mulligan for a Piledriver. (Normally Dr D wants to be independent but he accepted help in this case because winning is better than losing especially if the loss is from the Dreaded Claw.) 6:36

Back to Memorial Auditorium in Plymouth
1. The Dynamite Kid; Flying Head Butt Pin over Goldie Rogers. Rusty Brooks came to ringside and was obviously up to no good. He had a Chain hanging from his neck to impress some people in thinking he was rough and tough. Rusty passed by Blackjack Mulligan who was interviewing wrestlers in Blackjack’s Bar-B-Que.

Johnny brought the fans to their feet with a Flying Missile Shot and then the finisher. 4:56
3. Susan Sexton; Drop Toe Hold Submission over Bertha Faye with Harvey Whippleman. Bertha wanted an early finish to the match so she attacked during the pre-match to weaken Susan. She used a Body Slam, an Eye Rake and a Kick to the Stomach to hurt Susan. Bertha, who hasn’t had a lot of luck lately wanted to extend the match as long as she could to impress the booing fans. As it turned out she lollygagged too long. A climb on the Turnbuckle for a Falling hammer turned out to be Bertha’s folly. Susan had recovered and moved causing the 260 lb Bertha to crash heavily to the canvas. Susan used a Bulldog to KO Bertha and then the submission hold. Harvey Whippleman ran in to save his beloved. 8:41
4. Iron Mike Sharp; Loaded Forearm Pin over the Duke of Dorchester. The popular Duke drove Mike crazy for a while. Duke found a bottle of Seltzer and sprayed Iron Mike in the face.

He leaped a crashed onto the empty canvas as Mike moved out of the way. Sharp used a Stomach Claw and then finished the match.

The Tiger used a Slingshot Clothesline to finally slow Adams down. 4:53
2. Cousin Junior; Mule Kick Pin over Gino Carabello. Gino used eye rakes and illegal chokes but the moves had little effect on “The Cuz.” Even a Running Body Shot had Gino bouncing off Junior. Junior used a Neckbreaker Vice and a Brainbuster to set Gino up. It was amazing that Carabello could get back to his feet after the Brainbuster. He did recover but went down to the Mule Kick. 4:08
3. The Nasty Girls (Peggy Lee Leathers and Chainsaw Liz chase) beat The Slam Patrol (Velvet McIntyre and Princess Victoria). In an Unusual Result the Match went OOR.

A Diving Cross Body was the set up for Tony’s Octopus Hold that had Thornton submitting from the back pain. 6:13
6. Swede Hansen; Reverse Neckbreaker Pin over The Red Demon. Lots of “oohs and aahs” from the kids when The Demon was introduced as being from “Parts Unknown.” There is something magical about “Parts Unknown.” The Demon used a Pearl Harbor attack to gain an edge but also showed some good moves; A Flying Elbow and a Demon Drop that had Swede reeling. The Demon made te mistake of trying to use a folded steel chair for a smash to Swede’s skull. Hansen reversed the Chairshot and The Demon was downhill from there. Swede followed with a Back Body Drop and then the finisher. 7:08
7. Killer Bee Jumping Jim Brunzell; Hig Flying Dropkick Pin over Haku with Mr. Fuji. Mr. Fuji tried to trip Brunzell but mistakenly caught Haku by the leg.

2. Marvelous Marv Nielson with El Capitain Walter Neilson and Bud Boller with Papa Joe Boller; Double Count-Out. This match seemed destined for a questionable finish. The neilsons and The Bollers are two of the three families that hate each other. When the match went OOR the two wrestlers and the two managers all assumed it was time to brawl and brawl they did. Bud Bowler was able to catch Marvelous Marv with a Bowler-Breaker (Neckbreaker) to the floor but took a Chairshot from El Capitain. The two wrestlers were KO’d. The managers were smart enough to help wresters rather than continue fighting. 6:25
Back to Stoneville, CT
1. Leaping Lanny Poffo; Somersault Drop Pin over Ado Moreno. Poffo dazzed Aldo with his speed. A Corkscrew Dive and a Torpedo Launch set Moreno, who has become a bit of a rulebreaker lately, for the high flying finisher. 3:34

Spot was able to kick out with the help of Puppydog who leaped from the top ropes while Referee Billy Hines was jawing with Frenchy Martin who refused to leave ringside. Spot took advantage and Smashed his Dog Bone to Al’s skull. This set up the finish when Al got back to his feet. (Note – This was originally scheduled as a tag match with the Moondogs facing the Diamonds but had to be canceled when Rex got hit while chasing a car. Although he was not ready for this match Rex seems to have only been shaken up. Last we heard Rex was chowing down on his Purina Dog Food as though nothing had happened.” 4:53
4. Rockin Robin; The Bulldog Pin over Candice Pardue. The popular Robin was pumed by the crowds reaction receiving points on her total. As it turned out she controlled the match.

After re-entering the ring Robin used a top Rope Dropkick, on the already dazed Candice, to set up the finish. 5:36
5. Adrian Adonis; Facelock Piledriver Pin over Paul Roma. Roma came close to ending the match several times. He used a Missile Dropkick to gain what seemed like a 3 count but Referee Billy Hines said 2 1/2.

Adonis was able to kick out and retrieve his Biker Chain for a smash to Roma’s head. Hines turned to see Adonis using the Piledriver and then pinning Bleeding Roma. 6:55
6. Hillbilly Jim; Legdrop Pin over A.J. Petruzzi. Pertruzzi with his face painted (like Konga the Barbarian) made the mistake of grabbing the Mudlick Pearl (Jim’s Lucky Horseshoe) from OOR.

7. Brutus Beefcake with Luscious Johnny V; Running Knee smash Pin over Corporal Kirshner. The Corporal did his homework and had Brutus in serious trouble Kirshner used a G.I. Clothesline and then hooked in the Corporal Clutch. During a distraction and just in time to saveBrutus, Johnny V. ran in and smashed the Corporal to the chops. It was more than enough to release the hold. Brutus used a Spinecrusher that somehow Kirshner kicked from but was less fortunate after the Running Knee. 9:07

3. Team America (Misty Blue Sims and Heidi Lee Morgan) and Madd Kats (Madd Maxine and Nasty Kat Laroux); No Contest. This was a mess waiting to happen.

The combatants were in a Pier 6 Brawl when Referee Gino Vagnone called for a No Contest. He could have called for a Double DQ but chose to less controversial decision. It took several wrestlers and security to break up the action. 8:12
4. The Executioner; Guillotine Leg Drop Pin over Barry “O”. Before the introductions, Gorilla Monsoon called over Ring Announcer Sharon Lee and whispered something in her ear. When she announced the Executioner Sharon said; “From Parts Unknown weighing in at 317 lbs.” The masked Executioner went bonkers, grabbed the microphone and yelled; “217 trim pounds.” As it turned out The Executioner’s modifier was size so he was awarded extra points. During the match Barry stunned the Executioner with an Elbow off the Top Rope but was stopped cold when his head was slammed to an exposed Turnbuckle that the Executioner had worked on earlier. A Throat Slam Suplex set uo the finisher and the trim 217 lb Execution had another win under his belt. 4:53

After re-entering the ring, Smirnoff used his finisher and got the pin while Frenchy Held the Ropes for Leverage. 7:12
6. Young Stallion Jim Powers; Double Underhook DDT Pin over Ted Grizzly. Ted, who has very few legitimate moves, attacked Jim in the pre-match using a Grizzly Body Smash. During a match he used a Throat Slam onto the Ropes and several illegal chokes. Eventually Ted was able to go OOR and return with a cup of hot coffee. He threw the coffee at powers but missed and the liquid was on the mat. Ted slipped on the wet canvas changing the mood of the match. The fans were in awe when Powers lifted the 320 lb Grizzly for a Slam. Powers then finished the match. 8:13

Yancy, from London, England via Kenya, Africa took charge with a London Bridge Body Breaker and then finished with the Slam. 4:39

Duke recovered and was able to make it back to the ring. A Rake to the Eyes was flowed by an Elbow Drop to the Throat. Duke then used the Fists of Iron to finish the match. (Note – Duke gets angry when commentators say that he copied Rugged Ronnie Garvin’s Hands of Stone finisher. Duke insists that Ronnie is the copycat.) 4:22
2. Misty Blue Sims; The Superfly Pin over The Lock with Luna. The Lock used her usual moves; Eye Ripper, Bites and an attempted Bug Spray to eyes. Luna meanwhile gained points for The Lock by degrading Announcer Susan Sexton and trying to lure her into a fight. The whole ploy was to steal a microphone that Luna tried to use on Misty when the match was going in Sims direction. Unfortunately as Misty performed a slingshot Suplex, Luna smashed The Lock in the Skull. Misty climbed the ropes and finished the match. The fans cheered the finish of this match. The Hootin Holler fans are fans who cheer heavily for the Face and boo heavily at the Heel 6:47
3. The Mod Squad (Spike and Basher) with J.D. Costello beat the New Interns (I-1 and I-2). Spike; Smash with Blackjack Pin over Intern-2. The Squad used a Dirty Doubleteam to gain an advantage and it led to the pin. J.D. Costello kept Intern-1 busy OOR as they fought in the aisle. The confusion allowed Spike a chance to pull out the Hidden Blackjack for the KO. When the Mod squad was introduced and came to the ring the Hootin Holler fans mistook The Squad for real cops and everyone in the audience scruddied to hide their Jug of Hooch. The New Interns look a lot like the Mulkey’s with masks. 7:39
4. Intercontinental Nobleman Joe Turko won by DQ over Hustler Rip Rogers with Brenda Britton. This was a meeting of two guys who know how to bend the rules. Turko was able to used his usual bag of tricks; Sand in the eyes and a metal Foreign Object. It kept the Sneaky Rip Rogers off balance but he retaliated by choking out Turko with a Robe Tie. Then in an Unusual Result Brenda Britton tried to spray hair Spray to Turko’s eyes. She hit Referee Lucky Roberts by mistake. Roberts called for the bell. 6:06
5. DOG COLLAR MATCH – Rusty Brooks; Strangle with Choker Chain Finish over Plowboy Frazier. The fans were extra loud in their booing of Brooks who gave the crowd the Italian candle arm gesture.

Turko distracted Referee Farmer McKinley while Duke ran in the ring and smashed a Jug of Hooch to Plowboy’s Head. Frazier was out cold. Brooks had enough strength to wrap the chain around Frazier’s neck and pull. Referee Farmer McKinley saw the choke and called the match in Rusty’s favor. Rusty and Duke, who have a history going back to Canada shook hands and walked off with Turko as the fans booed and threw cups. 9:52

2. Jimmy Garvin; Brainbuster Pin over the Blond Bomber Art Crews. Art was booed loudly as he came out to face the popular Garvin. The bomber seemed to relish in the heel role using a vicious illegal choke and then throwing beer in Jimmy’s face. Unfortunately for Crews he slipped on a wet spot on the canvas giving garvin the opening he needed. Jimmy used a sunset Flip then the finisher to end this tough match. 7:31
3. Chainsaw Liz Chase with Peggy Lee Leathers; Super Suplex Pin over Susan Starr. Susan used a half Mare and then a slingshot to come close to ending the match but Peggy countered from the ring apron.

6. Outlaw Ron Bass with J.J. Dillon; Texas Gourdbuster Pin over Chief Frank Hill. Hill was tripped and attacked by Black Bart as he entered the ring. It was only a preview of things to follow later. During the match Hill used War dance with chops to the neck and Lifting Knee to the Stomach. Bass collapsed to the canvas and The Chief hooked in an Indian Death Lock. Bass would have submitted but Black Bart took advantage of a distraction of Referee Jack Howe by J.J. Dillon. Bart ran in the ring and clubbed Hill with a Branding Iron.

2. Phil Hickerson (PY Chu-Hi) with Tojo Yamamoto; Big Powerslam Pin over Dave Barbie. Yamamoto, who has started referring to Hickerson as PY Chu-Hi, couldn’t resist getting involved. He used Salt to Barbie’s eyes just as Mr. Pogo who wandered to the ring hit Barbie with a Vicious Elbow as Dave was whipped to the corner. Hickerson used a Spinal Crack and then the Power Slam. Yamamoto has quickly built a stable of untrustworthy wrestlers called BANZAI; Mr. Pogo, Mr. Ito & PY Chu-HI (hickerson). Tojo has his eyes open looking to add others who can get the job done in the manner he likes. 3:46

Speaking of great places, my mother told me to avoid Frenchman’s Bend. I am from the Sugar Side of Louisville, Kentucky and I am not use to being in Hog Heaven.” The mood was set and all the fans were booing. Ligon was able to use a falling Ax handle to gain a near pin but Pritchard countered by choking Gene with the ropes and then used a Piledriver. It could have been cutains but Pritchard waited for Ligon to get to his feet before hitting him with the Superkick. 4:47
5. State Patrol (Lt. James Earl Wright and Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker) beat The Wild Noblemen (Mike Boyette and Joe Turko). Turko spoke to the fans; “Tutti i suini odore” (You smell like pigs). The fans a well aware of Turko so they immediately knew he was degrading them. More booing began. Lt. Wright; Doubleteam Suplex Pin over Turko (much to the crowds delight). Turko had a Blackjack that he used to hit Parker but he dropped it and grazed the Sargent.

1. Gorgeous George South; Flying Headbutt Pin over Randy Mulkey. South who had the match going his way still resorted to a Hidden Foreign Object (small piece of taped metal) to slug Randy and wear him down.

3. Sherri Martel; Cobra Clutch Submission over Princess Victoria. Victoria was able to gain a big edge performing a War Dance of Cops and Knee Lifts. Sherri was able to kick out at the last moment several times. Austin Idol was near ringside to do a promotion and he stopped to see the match. Sherri is Austin’s valet. Victoria who is smitten with Idol took her eyes off the match for a moment and Sherri took advantage. A Diving Splash set up Victoria for the finisher. 7:31
4. King Cobra; Cobra Strike (Facebuster) Pin over Hangman Len Kruger. Cobra used a Missile Shot that was devastating yet he followed with a Double Underhook DDT rather than go for the pin. By the time King used the Strike, Kruger was almost out cold. 5:21
5. Dirty Dutch Mantel with Jimmy Hart; Scoop Slam Piledriver Pin over Oklahoma’s Pretty Boy Carl Fergie. Fergie used an arsenal of illegal tactics; Raking the Eyes, Illegal choking and a blatant Kick to the Groin. Dutch complained to Jerry Calhoun who was ignoring the rulebreaking by Fergie. Mantel was able to use a falling Head Slam to set up the Piledriver finish. Referee Calhoun counted but very slowly considering whether he would call the Piledriver illegal. Jimmy Hart was protesting and at one point threw a Tin Cup at Calhoun who ignored it. Fergie was counted out then Mantel used Shoo baby to chole Carl getting back at some of the dirty tactics. Referee Calhoun threatened to reverse the decision if Mantel didn’t stop so the unhappy Dutch left the ring. 8:15
6. Exotic Adrian Street with Miss Linda and Chick Donovan; Double Count-Out. It seemed obvious when th match went OOR that it would not re-enter. The usual chair duel took place and then some food throwing. Donovan got a bucket of punch poured over him while Exotic Adrian took a Blueberry Pie in the face. The fight went toward the woods and at one point the wrestlers were not even sighted. Security was finally sent to retrieve to two combatants. 9:01
7. Lumberjack Jos LeDuc with Jimmy Hart and Jimmy Golden with Brenda Britton; Double Count-Out. When the match went OOR Tennessee Stud Robert Fuller came to help Jimmy Golden.

1. NJPW-ECWA – Apollyon won by DQ over R.J. Brewer. Brewer used a Fireman Carry Cutter and a Hurricane DDT to try and put Apollyan away but the big man kicked out several times. Apollyon performed a Gabba-Goul Slam that almost pinned the now frustrated Brewer. R.J. had some Brass Nucks but was caught immediately by Referee Brian Hebner who called for the bell. 4:45
2. NJPW-ECWA – Andy Leavine (Kevin Hackman) and Josef Von Schmidt; Double Count-Out. During an OOR Brawl with thrown chairs and a table the wrestlers failed to maneuver the ramp edge and both fell into the pit below. The fighting continued but the steam was let out of their tanks. Both collapsed as they tried to leave the pit. 3:52
3. Gail Kim and Brook Tessmaker; Double Count-Out. The fans were confused as to who should be a heel and who should be a face. The fans settled on neither. When the match went OOR it was another match destined to end without a conclusion. As the match went up the ramp and to the hallway several fans were chanting; “Save the Cannolis” referring to George Vessichio’s famous vendor treat. George who was at Cannoli Corner with Veda Scott doing interviews must have phoned the people at his spot in the Food Court. Several Food Court items were dumped from the tables and a Flo’s Hot Dog Cart was tipped over but the Cannolis were saved.
4. Samuel Shaw; Kata-Gatame (Arm Triangle Choke) Submission over Alex Silva. Mr. Anderson introduced the psycho Shaw (who imitates Patrick Bateman from American Psycho) in less than flattering language. Shaw has stalked Christy Hemme and Anderson has taken up the protective role. Silva was able to gain a near pin with a Running High Knee that Shaw prevented when he placed his foot on the ropes. Shaw used a corkscrew Splash and a Head Cracker before applying the finisher. 4:03
5. Manik; Rolling Moonsault Pin over Garrett Bischoff with Wes Brisco. Wes was continually interfering and Referee Brian Hebner knew but didn’t see any blatant illegal moves. Referee Brian took no chances and sent a protesting Brisco back to the locker area. Not to be denied, Brisco snuck back to the ring to help Bischoff. Wes swung a bottle at Manik’s head but miss and hit Garrett. Manik immediately used a D.O.A. (Sunset Flip) and then the high flyer to finish the match. 4:26
6. The Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale and Prince Fegel Devitt) beat Trailer Park Pride (Trailer park Trash and Elvis Pridemore). Prince Devitt; Bloody Sunday DDT Pin over Trash. The Pride used several pieces of trash as weapons. A Rusty Hubcap and an old Bicycle seat served well to smash Fale who fell hard to the floor from the ring apron. As the Pride went after Devitt they failed to keep their eye on the powerful Bad Luck who retrieved a rusty tailpipe from the trash. A slam to Elvis took him out of the match and then fale had enough in his tank to perform a Rib Crusher on Trash. Devitt used his finisher to end the match. Referee Earl Hebner counted the pin. It was easier than trying to figure out who was responsible for what. As it turned out Fale had tagged in so he was actually the legal man. 13:09
7. Ethan Carter III (EC-3); One Percenter (Headlock Driver) Pin over Christian York. York used his speed and flying moves to gain an advantage. After performing a Flying Kneedrop York was going to climb the ropes for a Frog Splash. Rockstar Spud ran out and Sprayed some Right Guard into Christian’s eyes. Carter used a Throat Slam Suplex and then his finisher. 7:13
8. TNA TV Title – DJ Z (Zema Ion) (Champion) with Bro-Mans (Jesse Godderz and Robbie E) beat Seyia Senada (Challenger).

Chance recovered and came after Masada so Christina tried to smash Prophet with a microphone. She hit Masada by mistake. Chance performed a Doom Sayer (Headlock Bulldog) that KO’d Masada. Prophet reached the ring by the 9 count from the very slow counting Steven Richards. 6:10
2. NJPW-ECWA – Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer) beat The Flatliners (Matt Burns and Asylum). Davey Boy Smith; Running Power Slam Pin over Asylum. A pre-match attack by The Flatliners backfired with both Burns and Asylum getting a Chairshot for their troubles. The extra points added to the Squad was very difficult to overcome but the never say die Flatliners gave it their all. Burns tried a Top Rope Splash but landed on an empty canvas. This was followed by a Dark Days (Inverted DDT) by Lance Archer. Asylum ran in the ring and Davey Boy entered to counter Asylum. Smith used his finisher to end the match although no tags were made. Referee Tommy Dreamer was use to confusion from his ECW days so this ending was quite normal. 10:13
3. Jerry Lynn; Tornado DDT Pin over Façade. Façade used a Spinning Heel Kick and a thumbscrew to Throat that seemed to get a pin on Jerry but Referee Steven Richards indicated that it wasn’t quite 3. Façade was arguing with Richards when Lynn used a Cradle Piledriver and then finished the match with the Tornado DDT. 3:12
4. Doug Williams; Bombs Away Pin over Anarquia. Anarquia used a Vicious Double Rope Burn to temporarily blind Doug. Anarquia then tried a Corner Splash but Doug moved and Anarquia, who seems lost without corner help from Rosita or Sarita, crashed into the Post. Doug immediately used a fallen Cranium Crusher that set Anarquia up for the finish. 5:21
5. TNA Knock-Out Title – Mschif (Champion) with Alpha Female; Top Rope Flying Knee Crunch Pin over O.D.B. (Challenger) O.D.B. had an advantage and after using a Dirty Dozen Face Smash the match seemed over. Unfortunately Lei’d Tapa came to help MsChif and Alpha. Alpha distracted Referee Steven Richards while Lei’d choked out O.D.B. with a belt. A Big Boot by the Samoan followed and then a Skull Crusher. The damage had been done and Mschif gained the pin after the Flying Knee. MsChif retains the Knock-Out Title. 7:35
6. Loser Leave Town Match between Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Hot Stuff Hernandez – This match was ordered by Dixie Carter and agreed to by both wrestlers. Their interference in each other’s matches had not only become a hindrance but caused a serious injury to Referee Lash Laroux who broke his arm while trying to stop the former partners who hate each other from battling with Chairs before a match that had nothing to do with either. The match has to end with a pinfall.
Hot Stuff Hernandez; Border Toss (Power Slam) Pin over Chavo Guerrero Jr. Both wrestlers were booed as they were introduce. Chavo had a Hidden foreign Object that he used to slug Hernandez from time to time. The Object was wrapped with a stand of Barbed wire that left a few slashed on Hot Stuff who was bleeding. Chavo climbed the Ropes for a Frog Splash after downing Hernandez with a Flying Elbow Smash. Hot Stuff moved and Chavo crashed to the canvas. Hernandez used a Diving Splash and then used his Slam finish. 9:43
7. The Bro-Mans (Jesse Godderz and Robbie E) with DJ Z beat The Blueprints (Matt Morgan and Crimson). The Bro-Mans attacked during the pre-match using tools from the custodian’s tool box. DJ Z had a can of furniture spray that he used to spray both Matt and Crimson in the eyes. Jesse had a mini-crow bar while Robbie E used a wrench to pummel their opponents. The large number of points deducted from their total would eventually cost the Blueprints the match. The Blueprints were at a disadvantage because Rob Terry who teamed with Morgan left the team and Crimson was recruited. This was their 1st match together. The Blueprints fought back during the match with Morgan using a Falling Knee to Throat to almost put Jesse out. Crimson meanwhile used a Red Sky (Spinebuster) on Robbie E OOR. DJ Z had the mini-crow bar and he smashed Matt in the head. Jesse recovered enough to use a Jumping Stunner and then pin Morgan. 12:45
8. Magnus won by Count-Out over A.J. Styles. During OOR Action Styles hit Magnus with a Dropkick from the Press Table. Magus was fortunate to have been kicked toward the ring. As A.J. turned to face Magnus Bobby Roode came from behind and used a Blindside Suplex to put A.J. down. Roode helped push Magnus into the ring to avoid a Count-Out while Styles was unable to make the count. 10:09

2. F.E.F. (Far East Firm)(Mohammed Yone and Toru Yano) beat Irish Airborne (Dave and Jake Crist). The Airborne returned to the Federation with a much rougher attitude. They set the tone for the match by interrupting F.E.F. in Cannoli Corner as they were being interviewed for a promotion by George Vessichio. The added extra points were close to enough to win the match when Dave and Jake used their Air Raid high flying moves. Jake got a bit to greedy when he left the ring and reached in for a trip. He tripped Dave by mistake. Yano took advantage with a running Guillotine, tagged Yane who applied a Kinniku Buster (Muscle Buster) Pin. 10:05
3. Angelina Love with Velvet Sky; Light’s Out (Lifting STO) Pin over Kelly Kelly. Kelly, the Ex-Champion, was able to used her K-2 (Legdrop Bulldog) that would have been a pin but Velvet took advantage of a distraction and smashed a Trash can Lid over Kelly’s head. Angeling recovered enough to prform a Light’s Out finish. 6:45
4. Amazing Red pinned Carlito Colon. In an Unusual Result Referee Bobby Blaze was stunned for a bit when Carlito pinned Red after a Headlock DDT. Hotstuff Hernandez who is trying to eliminate Chavo Guerrero’s partners in crime came to ringside. He entered the ring with a chair when Referee Blaze got stunned. Colon was calling for a count when Hernandez smashed rhe chair over Colon’s head. Hot Stuff then put Amazing Red on top for the pin. Referee Blaze woke to see Red on top so he counted. 5:48
5. Wes Brisco with Garrett Bischoff; Roll-Up Pin over King Mo. Mo was able to use a Royal Pin Elbow Smash to daze Wes but Garrett countered with a Chain Smash.

6. Petey Williams and Tyson Tomko with King Kenny Bolin; Double Count-Out. During OOR Action it turned into a Pier 6 Brawl. Some Bolin Services members came out to help; Jack Black, Flash Flanagan and Mike Mondo. Williams got help from F.E.F’s Yone and Yano along with Hernandez, who is a vigilante as of late. Any count was unnecessary because this match was not going back in the ring. As some of the combatants ended in the foor court it was noted that almost all the foods were hidden. When George Vessichio called to the food court; “Pier 6 Brawl” all the vendors scurried to protect their foods. 7:31
7. Austin Aires with Bobby Roode and Jeff Hardy; Double Count-Out. During OOR Action Jeff Hardy seemed at a disadvantage but A.J. Styles came out to help. A.J. immediately went after Roode, who was instrumental in costing Styles the match with Magnus that would determine the #1 contender. The four fought up the ramp and out to the foyer. Last seen they were out of the building on this very chilly evening in Canada. 8:36
8. Judgement (Doc Gallows and Machine Gun Karl Anderson) with Prince Devitt beat No Remorse (Gunner and Murphy). Doc; Brass Nucks KO and Doubleteam Spiked Piledriver Pin over Murphy. No Remorse lost quite a few points when Judgement attacked in the pre-match. It would prove to be the difference. Gunner used a Spinebuster on Anderson and hooked the leg for a 5 or 6 count. Referee Bobby Blaze was distracted by Prince Devitt and missed the pin. As Gunner tagged out to Murphy, Devitt handed Doc some Brass Nucks that Doc used to end the match. 11:23

Flash Flanagan was waiting and slammed a Chair to Devon’s head. Devon made it to the ring but was less than 100%. Flanagan came to ringside to help Bolin and Osborn, The Madman from the Badlands. Bull Ray ran to ringside to help Devon and the fans were now cheering wildly. Bully stopped Flanagan from using a Chain and reverse a Smash to Flash’s head.

Referees; Gino Colucci & Bill Irwin Ring; Leva Bates
1. NJPW-WCWA – Davey Boy Smith Jr.; Running Powerslam Pin over Martin Stanley Fuqua. M.S. Fuqua is the head of Fuqua Enterprises based in the Louisiana Bayou Belt. He normally has others do his bidding but is a loner right now. That is not likely to last long. Fuqua had a sharp Object (Special wood with 2 curved claws sticking out he calls Moc Fangs). Although he was able to put a few bad scra6thes in Davey’s back, the Foreign Object did not alter the match. Smith, ranked 98 in the PWI top 500, used a Flying Cannonball to set up the pin. The Running Powerslam, that his father used, is Davey’s finisher. 4:36
2. The Nigerian Nightmares (Maifu and Saifu) beat Shaolin Wrecking Crew (Majic and Suba). Saifu; Elephant Charge (Corner Squash) Pin over Majic. It is unlikely that the Spartanburg fans ever witnessed as much weigh (1600 lbs) from 2 teams facing each other. The surprising agile Suba tried to end the match with a 2nd Rope Vader Bomb but he crashed to the canvas putting him out of commission. The Nightmares used a doubleteam Skull Crusher on Majic and then propped him up for the finisher. The Nightmares continue their winning streak. 9:45

Charlie walked over to Bashir after Sonjay left and pushed the pastry into his face. Nana ran to get Sonjay for help as Haas used an Atomic Skull Crusher to the floor on Bashir. Charlie helped the dazed Gunn back to the ring. Referee Bill Irwin counted Bashir out at the 20 count. 3:59
5. Paul London; 450° Splash Pin over Anthony Nese. London used Illegal Chokes to wear Nese down but Anthony gained an edge with a Reverse Piledriver. London avoided a pin when Brian Kendrick came to the ring and used a Chairshot on Nese. London who should have been DQ’d (Referee Gino Colucci missed the Chairshot when he was jawing with Prince Nana still at ringside) used a Legsweep DDT to set up the pin. 6:24
6. Johnny Gargano; Crosston Crab (Boston) Submission over Craven Verro. Verro tried to end the match with a Top Rope Express (Fling Clothesline) but the momentum carroed him over and he was almost pinned. The talented Gargano used his Hurts Donut (STO) and then hooked in the Crab. 5:36
7. The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat Forever Hooligans (Rocky Romero and Alexander Koslov). Matt; Doubleteam Superkick Pin over Koslov. Rocky used a Flying Knee Drop to stun Nick but the Hooligans didn’t follow up fast enough. The Bucks were using their speed to control the match. Koslov, who was bragging about his Soviet Strike (Superkick) being the best in wrestling was wanting to try it out on one of the bucks who also used a Superick. The Bucks threw the Hooligans into each other and then used the Doubleteam Superkicks to end the match. 13:58
8. Ring of Honor TV Title – Roderick Strong (Champion) with Truth Martini beat Bazooka Joe (Challenger). Joe was attacked by the Guardians of Truth (Mosh Thrasher) as he entered the ring. He lost points that he couldn’t afford to lose but that is always the overall plan of Martini. During the match Joe was able to use a Boom Punch and then a Bazooka Bomb that almost gave him the title. While Referee Bill Irwin was KO’d. Truth hit Bazooka with the Loaded book of Truth then The Necro Butch used a vicious choke on Bazooka. Roderick followed with a Gory Driver for the Pin. Roderick Strong retains the ROH TV Title. 11:46

With Jimmy beat to a pulp, Ted climbed back in the ring but was greeted with a Sledgehammer by the Monster. Mafff then used his Power Bomb to end the match. After conferring with Kevin Kelly, Referee Paul Turner has held up the decision because Ted may have been the legal man in the ring. Jimmy failed to tag him. Rave-On, a less than successful team so far has done this a few times and they were able to gain a No-Contest. The No-Contests are the winningest part of their record. 7:34
4. Justice Pain; Superkick Pin over Adam Flash. Adam used Last Call (Diving Legdrop) to nearly gain the pin. After kicking put several times Justice used a Wicked Kick to the Groin that keeled Flash over. Pain had a Hidden Foreign Object that he used to pummel Adam. The dazed Flash walked into the Super Kick. It seems that Justice pain is learning a lot from Axl Rotten his partner on the team of Rotten Justice. 4:56
5. Shimmer Title – Sweet Saraya Knight: Bridging Cradle Suplex Pin over Leva Bates. Little Leva used her speed to gain an early advantage and eventually hooked in and performed a Neckbreaker and a Fallen Hammer. Saraya was able to kick out of the pin attempt although most fans and both announcers felt that it was at least 4 count. This gave Saraya, from Norwich England, enough tome to spray some perfume into Leva’s eyes. The Bridging Cradle Suplex followed. (Sweet Saraya is the mother of Paige who wrestles in the WWE.) Sweet Saraya knight is the NEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Shimmer Champion. 6:26
6. Matt Taven with Truth Martini and Adam Page; Double Count-Out. Taven and Martini wanted the OOR Action where they have the advantage. The Necro Butcher, Truth’s Toadie who is always nearby, was ready to take care of business on Page by Smashing a Cannoli Tray to Adam’s head then beat on him with a Rolling Pin. A Brutal Chairshot followed but things went bad from then on. The Guardians of Truth waiting for a match interfered for Taven with Charlie Haas and Sheldon Benjamin coming to help Page who was KO’d. George Vessichio, frustrated with Butcher who stole some utensils, handed Steel Cannoli Trays to Charlie and Sheldon who proceed to clean house. In the process Matt Taven was smashed over the head and KO’d. Neither wrestler could make the count. 6:52
7. World’s Greatest Tag Team (Charlie Haas and Sheldon Benjamin) beat Guardians of Truth (Headbanger Mosh and Headbanger Thrasher) with Truth Martini. Benjamin; Dragon Whip Pin over Mosh. The Necro Butcher had a Sharp Object that Thrasher used to cut Charlie during a scuffle. Charlie was bleeding and blinded by blood but pleaded with Referee Paul Turner let the match go on. The Guardians used a Stage Dive Doubleteam on Charlie leaving everyone to wonder if the match shouldn’t be called. As The Guardians congratulated each other Sheldon Benjamin ran in the ring and used a vicious Noggin Knocker to daze both Guardians. Sheldon used a T-Bone Suplex on Mosh and finished with the Dragon Whip. The Legal man wasn’t thought about as Referee Paul Turner counted. 11:48
Truth Martini has given up Cannolis claiming that George Vessichio favors other teams like Haas and Benjamin. "That's the Truth!!"
