Your hosts are Greg Hunter & John Johnson...time for more from Hardcore Hell.
Pre-match promo from Youth Gone Wild, followed by rebuttal from The Hate Junkies(Tag Team Champions) and manager Dan Wilson...
Billy Buck & Andrew Alexander vs. Youth Gone Wild(Anthony Henry & Dustin Knight) vs. Armed & Dangerous(Lane Vasser & Johnny Dangerous) vs. Rich & Famous(Andrew Pendleton III & Mike Mosley): Winners challenge The Hate Junkies for the belts later in the night. Hunter notes that Alexander and Mosley are former partners, but that ship has clearly sailed as hostilities surface between Alexander and Mosley's new partner AP3. Dangerous takes a beating from R&F for a while, but Vasser finally tags into the match and cleans house. Regal Roll sets up a tag back to Courageous as he goes to the top rope, but Pendleton dumps Vasser and rolls his partner out of 450 Splash range. Undaunted, Dangerous delivers a forward-somersault double-axhandle off the top(!) on AP3 only to get rolled up by Mosley for the cheap pin...one team down, three to go. However, Mosley's not paying attention and runs right into Billy Buck's superkick...two down, one to go!
We're down to Buck & Alexander vs. YGW...these teams know each other very well and are relatively fresh since the first portion of the match was largely A&D vs. R&F. It's a face/face battle as Buck locks up with Dustin Knight, prompting the commentators to relate the story of Knight breaking his neck at Hardcore Hell two years ago. Hunter adds that Henry has been "in and out of the NWA Arena" for quite some time. Johnson wonders how the qualifying team will have anything left to beat the Hate Junkies later in the night. Buck avoids a flying elbow off the second turnbuckle by Knight, putting the former champs in control. Knight gets a few desperation pinning combinations on Alexander but AA cuts him off. Knight fights out of a superplex attempt by Alexander and nails the missile dropkick...tags on both sides!
Henry goes to town on Buck...Buck throws him over the top, but Henry skins-the-cat back in and gets an O'Connor Roll for a near-fall. The kickout sends Henry out to the apron and he climbs to the top rope...but Buck catches him in a sort-of Samoan Drop! Cover by Buck...gets two. Superkick setup, but Henry backs off and tags in Knight who takes out Buck with a 3.0 backbreaker. However, Alexander had blind-tagged in and drops Knight with the Zigzag...for two! Rodeo Driver is set up but Knight backdrops his way out of it and tags in Henry. Stereo corner enzuigiris connect but AA fights out of the double-team Go 2 Sleep. Buck takes himself and Knight out of the game, leading to a counterwrestling sequence between Alexander and Henry that ends in Henry rolling up Alexander and hooking the Texas Cloverleaf! Henry pulls him to the center of the ring...Buck re-enters but Knight cuts off the superkick attempt and ranas him over the top! Henry gets the Cloverleaf again and this time Alexander has no choice but to tap out! Post-match handshakes ensue though Alexander is hesitant at first...
The Hate Junkies(Dany Only & Stryknyn)(w/ Dan Wilson) vs. Youth Gone Wild for the Tag Team Titles: More time has elapsed than the television program would indicate, but Henry and Knight are still in bad shape from their earlier matchup. Wilson claims the advantage in the numbers game, but YGW decide to bring out a special guest cornerman...J.T. Talent! The match is a brawl right out of the gate and Wilson trips up Knight in a hurry, putting the champs in the driver's seat. Knight fires off a flying neckbreaker on Stryknyn, giving him the opening to tag in Henry!
Henry goes into house-afire mode and pulls off a slick combo, double-stomping Stryknyn from the top rope and going straight into a sunset flip on Only...for 2 1/2. Stryknyn spears Knight and Only gets the cover...for two. Henry small-packages Only...for two. Stryknyn officially tags into the match and DDTs Henry...Knight makes the save. Henry fights out of the champs' corner and YGW hit the stereo corner enzuigiris on Only...Wilson pulls Henry off the cover after that and gets decked by Talent as a result! Lariat/clip combo on Henry...Only gets two! Hate Crime is set up but Henry kicks Stryknyn off the top rope and backflips out of Only's setup. Knight re-enters as Henry picks up Only in the fireman's carry and they hit the double-team Go 2 Sleep! Henry covers, pin is counted, and we have NEWWWWW Tag Team Champions! Buck & Alexander enter the ring to congratulate the winners...and the champs celebrate to close the show!
