Commentators: Tim E.D. & John Johnson.
Jeff G. Bailey kicks off the show to enlighten us...he brings out Tag Team Champion Se7en and Bryan Cassanova to celebrate their victory at Hardcore Hell. Bailey says everyone will have to pick a side and he introduces two men who have chosen their side: Anarchy/North American Champion Shaun Tempers and Bo Newsom. Last but not least is their new buddy Jerry Palmer...he doesn't feel like explaining his actions just yet, but does say that promoter Franklin Dove dragged the product down and he hates the fans for supporting the new boss.
Enter Dove with Commissioner Brodie Ray Chase by his side...Brodie decides they should nip things in the bud right now. They're joined by Azrael and The Hate Junkies(w/ Dan Wilson)...The Rev got powder in the eyes at Hardcore Hell and a little birdie told him the culprit was Jeff G. Bailey. Next we're joined by the Urban Assault Squad...they've had plenty of history with the Hate Junkies but they have common enemies at the moment. Looks like a potential ten-man tag but Lane Vasser is absent at the moment...
Jacob Ashworth & Skirra Corvus vs. Andrew Pendleton III & Bobby Moore: Corvus does well early against Pendleton, but a blind tag allows Moore to surprise Corvus with a low-altitude clothesline. Corvus comes back with a jawbreaker and makes the hot tag to Ashworth...the house is on fire and AP3 gets planted with the Ashes-To-Ashes. That leaves Moore alone in the ring and Corvus takes out Pendleton with a plancha...but Tommy Daniels decides to interject himself into the matchup. That distraction is enough for Moore to level Ashworth with the flying boot and get the pin.
Joey Rhymer vs. Najasism(joined in progress): Najasism hits some impressive offensive moves...but Jacoby Boykins hits the ring and cleans house on both men. Johnson leaves the broadcast table as Boykins destroys Rhymer with a triple powerbomb...oh yeah, finish is a no-contest. Najasism gets military-pressed into a huge spinebuster. Big splash on Rhymer, huge powerslam on Najasism...and Boykins finally dumps both wrestlers out of the ring as Johnson gets a microphone. Johnson has picked his side and so has Boykins...he offers their services to the NWA Elite.
John Skyler vs. Anthony Henry for the Young Lions' Title: Skyler won the title at Hardcore Hell under somewhat dubious circumstances. Brett Wolverton joins Tim E.D. at the broadcast booth in Johnson's absence, but Johnson returns all too soon to reclaim his seat. In the meantime, YAY WRESTLING~! Fine matchup between these two...Henry rallies to hook the Texas Cloverleaf but Skyler barely reaches the ropes. Skyler snaps the throat off the top rope and does a modified version of his usual slingshot spear, turning it into a rollup and transitioning into his own Cloverleaf! Henry counters into a victory roll...for two. Skyler argues with the ref...and Henry one-ups him in the move-stealing department with his own slingshot spear! Cover...for two. Henry goes to the top rope but the champ cuts him off...Henry gets the better of the exchange on the turnbuckles and nails the frog splash! Cover...for 2 1/2! Henry attempts the Cloverleaf again but Skyler kicks him through the ropes...only to walk into an enzuigiri from the apron. Henry tries to re-enter with a ropewalk DDT but Skyler blocks and hits the move himself! He immediately transitions from THAT into the Sliced Bread #2...but only gets 2 1/2! The match turns into a strike exchange and that leaves both men down...both get up at the same time but Skyler tilt-a-whirls into a Russian legsweep. Skyler doesn't go for the pin and instead climbs the ropes...Henry cuts THAT off. Top-rope Frankensteiner hits, Skyler rolls through for a sunset flip attempt but Henry counters THAT by grabbing the legs and turning him over into the Cloverleaf! He's in the middle of the ring and Skyler has nowhere to go but Tapout City...we have a new Young Lions' Champion!
The celebration is cut short as Pendleton and Moore hit the ring to attack the new champion along with Skyler. They tease a spike piledriver, but Billy Buck makes a surprise return for the save! Pendleton eats a Buck Wild superkick and Moore(who had taken credit for putting Buck on the shelf) makes a hasty retreat...
Next week: Azrael/Urban Assault Squad/Hate Junkies vs. Shaun Tempers/Se7en/Bryan Cassanova/Bo Newsom/Jacoby Boykins.
