Commentators:  Kevin Hunsperger & Chris Hagstrom(this was taped before Collision #24).

Justice vs. Ax Allwardt(w/ Gaylord Stevens & Jay Wellington Beauregard):  Allwardt doesn't often face larger opponents, let's see how he fares.  Ax comes up short in trying to match power with Justice...brawling tactics work a bit better.  He sets up the piledriver...um, no.  Justice backdrops his way out of that and goes on offense, but misses a legdrop and Ax regains control.  Slam attempt fails for Ax, but not for Justice.  Allwardt comes back only to get slammed off the top rope, but Beauregard distracts the ref and Gaylord distracts Justice so Allwardt can deliver an undetected low blow.  This time the piledriver hits and Allwardt wins.

Collision #25

Commentators:  Kevin Hunsperger & Adam Testa(Chris Hagstrom is still recovering from Edmund "Livewire" McGuire's superkick).

Ace Hawkins calls out Matt Cage, but Zakk Sawyer wants to take the match instead...okay.

Ace Hawkins(w/ Brandon Espinosa) vs. Zakk Sawyer(w/ Tag Team Champion Matt Cage):  Sawyer assures Cage that he'll do fine, only for Hawkins to run at him from behind to hit the flippy Ace Crusher and win just like that.  Ha ha. 

Ace Hawkins(w/ Brandon Espinosa) vs. Tag Team Champion Matt Cage(w/ Zakk Sawyer):  Looks like this is happening after all as Cage rushes the ring to attack Ace.  Espinosa runs off Sawyer, but Cage busts up an aerial move on the floor by shoving Hawkins off the ring steps into the post.  Espinosa and Sawyer are now gone from ringside so this is one-on-one, but the commentators wonder where Christian Rose is at...hmm.  Good even matchup here...Hawkins hits his flippy Ace Crusher off the middle rope but Cage gets a foot on the bottom rope.  He goes for the ground-level version of the move but Cage blocks it and gets a modified sleeper until Hawkins backs him into a corner.  It breaks down into a brawl and the ref gets shoved around by both guys, leading to a double DQ finish.  Sawyer comes in to help but Espinosa's back out for the save...only for Rose to finally appear and BELT Espy in the face.  They duct-tape Espinosa to the ropes, leaving Hawkins in a three-on-one situation...Rose brings in a ladder and bashes Espy with it, then they set up the ladder over Ace and pose with the belts.

Backstage, Ax Allwardt confers with Gaylord Stevens and Jay Wellington Beauregard...Ax got Gaylord a "warmup match" tonight.

More from Shane Rich...what's next for him?  You know, this would have been a waste of TV time if he's just retiring due to his injuries...he says he'll make an announcement at Zero Hour.

The Mississippi Madman vs. Dalton Diamond:  I don't see this being very competitive...but before the match can even start, Bull Bronson makes his way to ringside.  The two big men go nose-to-nose and Diamond gets swatted away as he tries to interject himself into things.  They decide to one-up each other with their abuse of Diamond...why not?  Call it a no-contest...heh.  Diamond gets slammed by both, then Bronson powerbombs him and Madman gives him the Fifth Floor chokeslam and tosses him out of the ring.  Security tries to restore order but those guys get tossed aside as well...Bull finally backs off on his own.  Bronson wants to face Madman at Zero Hour...sounds like a plan.

Sean Vincent & Blake Steel speak on their tag match tonight...Vincent complains about being injured by K.C. Jackson's heel hook in a previous outing.  He found one American he can trust in Blake Steel...they plan on spoiling things for K.C. and Joey O'Riley tonight.

Gaylord Stevens(w/ Ax Allwardt & Jay Wellington Beauregard) vs. Super Castaldi:  Gaylord has full ring attire...err.  Wow, Castaldi gets around.  Allwardt pulls Castaldi out of the ring and runs him into the ringpost and guardrail while the referee is giving Gaylord his instructions.  NOW the match actually starts...those chops are decidedly unimpressive.  Stevens knows how to do an eyepoke, anyway...then he gets the win after a simple shoulderblock.  Okay.  Gaylord follows that up with a piledriver onto a set-up chair...ow.

K.C. Jackson & Joey O'Riley enlighten us on their matchup as well as the No Limits Title tournament finals.  Looks like they're on the same page for tonight...

K.C. Jackson & Joey O'Riley vs. Sean Vincent & Blake Steel:  Haven't seen Steel in quite a while.  The heels attack before the bell, leading to a chaotic start to the match before things settle down with the heel duo isolating O'Riley.  The commentators wonder if K.C. is fine with letting Joey do the lion's share of the work here...but Joey takes out Vincent with a slingshot DDT and finally makes the tag!  Steel tags in as well but runs into a buzzsaw...K.C. Stinger-Splashes Steel in his corner and Joey tags himself back into the match.  Jackson grabs Vincent in the heel hook(seemingly unaware of the tag) as Joey finishes off Steel with a 450 Splash for the win!  K.C. and Joey have a few tense words as we close the show...
