The opener is scheduled to be Seth Delay vs. Jeff Lewis for the T.V. Title, but Steven Walters wants into the proceedings. Commissioner Brodie Ray Chase makes it so...clarifying that it'll be elimination-style.
Seth Delay vs. Steven Walters vs. Jeff Lewis, three-way dance for the T.V. Title: Walters is going heel because he's upset about the fans continuing the cheer Seth despite his continued use of the brass knuckles. Walters tries to bring a chair into the ring, so Seth brings in the title belt...but as the referee turns around, Seth throws the belt to Lewis and falls to the mat. The referee thinks Lewis hit Delay with the belt and disqualifies him...and as the referee orders Lewis out of the ring, Seth nails Walters with the knucks! The ref returns to the ring and Seth gets the pin to retain the title...but Lewis lays out Delay with the Final Curtain(Northern Lights Bomb) after the match.
Zack Daniels & Jesse Windham vs. The Ambassadors(Jacoby Boykins & Chris Mayne): Jesse is making his Anarchy debut...don't think he's related to Barry. John Johnson is on vacation so he's obviously not at ringside. Daniels' house-afire is put out very quickly...Boykins gets the pin after the powerbomb/backcracker double-team.
Anthony Henry vs. Skirra Corvus for the Young Lions' Title: Interesting face-face matchup here...Corvus won a gauntlet match to earn this opportunity. They trade holds to start but tempers flare in a hurry...Henry tries to backdrop Corvus over the top rope but he only makes it halfway, landing rather painfully on the top rope. Henry follows up by missing a plancha, so Corvus delivers a running dive off the top rope! Henry raises the knees to block a springboard splash and sets up the brainbuster, but Skirra counters in mid-air with a small package...no, Henry reverses it...for two. Henry hits a major tilt-a-whirl backbreaker...for two. Henry tries a bow-and-arrow hold but Corvus escapes straight into a pin cover...for two. Henry fires back but falls victim to the bat-choke, then Corvus sunset-flips into the ring...for two. Corvus gets his modified Cattle Mutilation(opponent in a seated position) but Henry powers out of it...only for Corvus to bodyscissors his way into a facespike move! Cover...for two. Henry escapes the Graveyard Shift setup and delivers a powerslam...Texas Cloverleaf? No, Corvus victory-rolls him...for two. Henry gets a sunset flip, kicking off a series of pin reversals and two-counts between the competitors. Henry counters a rana with a turnbuckle powerbomb, then double-legs him down into the Cloverleaf...but Corvus reaches the ropes. Henry cuts off a top-rope move by Corvus, but Corvus shifts his way to land on top of a belly-to-back superplex attempt! Suddenly, Andrew Pendleton III leads Bobby Moore and John Skyler into the ring to attack both men...guess that's a no-contest finish to screw up an otherwise fine matchup. Billy Buck makes the save...and Skyler is left alone in the ring with all three faces. Buck superkicks Skyler into dreamland to cap things off...there's some tension between Henry and Corvus but cooler heads prevail.
Mikael Judas vs. Tag Team Champion Lane Vasser(w/ Jeff G. Bailey): The superheavyweights stare each other down to start...don't see this being a lucha libre-style matchup. Vasser finds himself in the unusual position of being thrown around the ring...a timely foot grab by Bailey allows Vasser to turn things around. Apparently the Tag Team Titles are under Freebird rules as any two of the NWA Elite(Se7en, Vasser, & Bryan Cassanova) could defend the belts. Now it's Judas' turn to be uncharacteristically overpowered...but Judas fights out of the fireman's-caryr spinebuster. El Big Comeback ensues...IT'S THE BIG FOOT sets up the clothesline off the top rope...time to visit Chokeslam City! The cover is made, but Se7en & Cassanova run in for the DQ...bah. The double-team assault commences with Bailey directing traffic...Chase arrives to restore order and Bailey slaps him in the face! Brodie decks Jeff G. and then starts cleaning house personally, but the numbers catch up to him...Cassanova drops Judas with the "Love Hurts"(TKO) as Bailey puts the boots to Chase. The locker room finally empties with promoter Franklin Dove personally sending in the troops...
