The Grapplers started well and after a Skull Smasher and a Falling Hammer to Luke the match looked over. A distraction of Referee Bobby Dee and a Flag Pole to Grappler #2’s head changed the course of the match. The Action went OOR where the Grappler’s were at a serious disadvantage. Slams to the Steps, another Flag Pole Smash and a Doubleteam battering ram to the post by Butch and Luke rendered The Grapplers helpless to re-enter the ring. The Sheepherders, who enjoy chaos, were smiling all the while. 11:49
8. Austin Idol with Sherri Martel won by DQ over Killer Karl Krupp with Jimmy Hart. Idol was able to counter Krupp’s moves although a Body Slam had Austin reeling and having to shake off the hurt.

2. Roy Rogers; Flying Elbow Pin over Phil Hickerson with Tojo Yammamoto. Hickerson tried to keep the action in his corner so that Tojo could apply a Nerve Hold.

Rogers, who also used the name Johnny Rich, tool advantage of the Steel Chair. He performed a Brainbuster on Hickerson and followed with a Flying Elbow for the pin. 5:23

The Intern didn’t have a lot of offense in the match mainly due to The Superstar using a Crushing Head Butt that most think was from a Loaded Mask.

4. Cyclone Negro and Gorgeous George South; Double Count-Out. South got some cheers during his introduction.

5. Jake Roberts with Kevin Sullivan and Abudadien and a Bag of Snakes; DDT Pin over Jeff “The Stomper” Gouldie. Sullivan, Roberts and Abudadien were interviewed by Gordie Soulie. It was a fabyulous interview and promotion for up & coming shows in spite of the intimidation through rhetoric that is Sullivan’s Army. Gouldie proved to be no pushover and learned many rougher moves from his famous father The Mongolian Stomper. A Wicked Kick to the Groin led to a Grinding Face Claw that had Jake in serious trouble. Abudadien was able to distract Referee Doug Smith, who was leery about the bag of snakes (one is rumored to be a Cobra). Kevin Sullivan Threw a Fireball that blinded Gouldie.

During the match Ash and Rose along with Bruno did their best to counter speed with dirty moves. Rose and Bruno were on the Ring Apron conferring. Bruno was about to hand Rose what looked like a wrench when Morton dropkicked them to the floor below. Wild Bill Ash fighting with Gibson was distracted by a lady in the crowd who flashed her undies.

1. Khoya with James Storm; Sky High Spinebuster Pin over Rampage Brown. Storm, as usual, made an interesting and impressive entrance with Khoya the newest member of his Revolution stable. Khoya is from Pune, India and doesn’t seem to fit The Revolution style stable but has been recruited and in a short time has been impressive. The match finally got under way after James Storm jawed for several minutes on the microphone. Rampage had a few moves that came close to a pin. After a Flying Legdrop Brown may have gotten the pin if Storm hadn’t interfered for the save. Khoya used a Torpedo Dive to down Rampage who was complaining to Referee Brian Hebner. A Sky High Spinebuster put Brown down for the Pin. 4:04
2. The East End Butcher Sha Samuels; Exploder Suplex Pin over Nightclaw Brian Cage. Cage used his speed to offset the power of Samuels who many think is the best wrestler to emerge from the British Boot Camp. Cage went to the well once too often with high flying moves and missed a Five Star Elbow Drop. Nightclaw was still hurting when he got to his feet and was met with a Mongolian Chop and then the Exploder Suplex. 5:39
3. Havok (Jessica); Demon Drop Piledriver Pin over Cherry Bomb. Havok seems to enjoy intimidation youngsters in the crowd. She wears a mouth mask like Darth Vader and has the size (170 lbs) that makes her larger than most Knockout wrestlers. She has dropped the Jessica from her name. Cherru Bomb had an early advantage finally performing a Best Superkick Ever. Havok barely escaped several pin attempts. Havok had a Hidden Foreign Object in her hand when she hit Cherry Bomb with a Jawbreaker. Cherry Bomb collapsed to the canvas. Havok showed off with a demon Drop Piledriver for the Pin. 6:41
4. The Beat Down Clan’s Low-Ki with MVP and Kenny King; Ki-Krusher (Driver) Pin over King Mo. Mo had quite a few cheers as he entered. Of course he was up against the much hated BDC. Inspired Mo avoided an early blindside sending Low-Ki to the floor below. It was a great start for Mo but he was up against too much with MVP, Kenny King and Homicide who joined them. While Referee Brian Stiffler was busy trying to get Homicide back to the Locker area, Kenny and MVP used a Falling Face Wrecker on Mo. Low-Ki immediately followed with the Ki-Krusher for the Pin. 7:06
5. Knux with The Menagerie; Sitout Spinebuster Pin over Mandrews (Mark Andrews). The fans were clapping when they heard the Circus Music and out came Knux surrounded by The Menagerie and Balloons. In spite of being neutral in this match the fans took to The Menagerie as the members; The Rebel and Crazzy Steve handed out some Balloons and Cotton Candy to the kids. Knux had points added to his total. It was a tough act to follow for Mandrews who is a newcomer from England and is a tag member with Rockstar Spud. The Rebel, as usual was a constant diversion, swinging on the ropes throughout the match. Mandrews showed his speed and his aerial ability several times but a Beautiful Moonsault went for naught as he crashed to the canvas. The much larget Knux used a Jumping Legdrop and then the Sitout Spinebuster for the Pin. 4:46
6. Matt Hardy; Twist of Fate (Cutter) Pin over Eric Young. Young was greeted with boos and cups thrown. Eric who had been a huge fan favorite at one time turned his back on the fans for rulebreaking.

Young got hold of a Microphone that he intended to use on Matt’s skull. Jeffhardy ran down to ringside, reached in the ring and grabbed the Microphone. When Young tried to retrieve it Jeff slammed it over Eric’s Head. Matt used a Running Skullcracker and then the Twist of Fate to gain the Pin. 8:23
7. TNA Vacant Tag Title – The Wolves (Davy Richards and Eddie Edwards) beat BDC – Beat Down Clan (Kenny King and MVP) with Homicide. Davy Richards submission over Kenny King. MVP performed a Kick to the back of Eddie’s Head that seemed like light’s out but Davy broke up the pin. Kenny ran in the ring to perform a Coronation DDT on Davy who was busy helping Eddie. As Kenny set up he was blindsided by Homicide who had climbed the Turnbuckle and leaped. The unsupecting Kenny was hit full force and KO’d along with Homicide. MVP tried to help but was held by Eddie. The Wolves performed The Force of Nature on King; Eddie used a Powerbomb and Davy a Backbreaker. Referee Brian Hebner called for a submission in spite of MVP’s protests from OOR wherehe fell during the scuffle with Eddie. The Wolves are the NEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW TNA Tag Champions. 17:08
