-"The Silverback" Joe Helms d. "The Kingpin" Rob Kowalski(w/ Lucky P. Larsen, Esquire) after Helms ran Kowalski into Lucky's briefcase on the apron before pinning him (11:28).  Helms was supposed to get five minutes in the ring with Lucky as a result, but he only got in a few good shots before the majority of Lucky's stable swarmed the ring to attack Helms:  Kowalski, Ax, & The Professionals.  Finally Big Texan & Bobby D hit the ring to run off the Dogtown Underground but the damage had been done.
