-"Too Good" Mason St. Goods d. Jay Bosh after the pump kick (4:29).
-Dan "The Dad" Adams d. "The Southern Psycho" Mance Warner; the referee stopped Warner from using a chair, so Warner brought in the ring bell while the referee was disposing of the chair.  Dan was able to get a hold of the bell and level Warner with it, then finish with the backpack Stunner (8:47).
-"The" Matt Kenway(w/ Premier("The Soup" Campbell Myers & "Dat Boi" S.K. Bishop)) d. "The Deliverer" Moses Powell after a low blow behind the referee's back, followed by the piledriver (6:35).
-Women's Title Tournament:  "Space Jesus" Billie Starkz d. "The Chicago Sweetheart" Missa Kate with the swanton bomb (6:40).
-"Heavyweight Hustle" Calvin Tankman d. "The Mother Superior Of Violence" LuFisto via vertical suplex-into-sitout Tombstone (8:18).  Afterwards, Tankman announced that he was entering the six-way dance for the vacant River City Title in place of the absent Karam Alame.
-Women's Title Tournament:  "The Bloody Undead Bride" Su Yung d. "The Arachnid" Blair Onyx with the mandible claw (4:26).
-"The Golden Cobra" Kevin Lee Davidson came out to speak to the fans, but was attacked by Calvin Tankman before he could say a word.
-"The Bounty Hunter" Bryan Keith d. A.T.M. via tigerdriver (12:44).
-The Rascalz("The Fresh Prince Of Mid-Air" Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz) d. The Premier("The Soup" Campbell Myers & "Dat Boi" S.K. Bishop)(w/ "The" Matt Kenway) by DQ when Kenway blatantly interfered (9:14).  The Premier trio beat down Trey & Wentz before leaving the ring.
-"The Whole Thang" Rahim De La Suede won a six-way dance with Mike Outlaw, "Heavyweight Hustle" Calvin Tankman, "The Quadfatha" Camaro Jackson, "Spitfire" Davey Vega, and "Generalissimo Merc" Graham Bell to win the vacant River City Title.  Eliminations:  Tankman pinned Merc with a powerbomb (6:24).  Tankman pinned Vega after a sliding elbowsmash (7:09).  Tankman pinned Camaro after the vertical suplex-into-sitout Tombstone (9:55).  K.L.D. attempted to attack Tankman in the ring but was held back by Dan The Dad and security; the distraction led to Outlaw hitting Tankman with a middle-rope springboard European uppercut and Rahim followed up with the 450 Splash to pin Tankman (11:14).  Rahim scored the deciding fall on Outlaw after another 450 Splash to become the new titleholder (13:46)!
-NOTES:  A pretty big rainstorm hit Columbia this evening, leading to the power going out in the venue!  The preliminary match occurred in limited lighting (emergency lighting was still active), but friends of the company provided a generator to power the screens, sound system, and ring lights for the remainder of the show.  Official Ben Simon Concession Count(tm):  Cheesebuger and a Coca-Cola; there was no intermission so I didn't get a chance to grab a beverage until after the show.  Return date is Friday 8/25 with Billie Starkz vs. Su Yung to crown the first WrestleMax STL Women's Champion.
