Commentators: Tim E.D. & Brett Wolverton.
General Manager Jerry Palmer(w/ T.V. Champion Bo Newsom, Se7en, & The Urban Assault Squad) enlightens us to start the show. He's hired personal security to protect him from overenthusiastic fans and he's given Heavyweight Champion Shaun Tempers(as well as Miss Rachel) the night off. Brodie Ray Chase gets his shot at Tempers at Fright Night while Billy Buck will challenge Newsom at that show. The UAS will face Azrael & Slim J at that show with the stipulation to be determined by Dan Wilson(thanks to Slim J's win over Shadow a few weeks ago)...Palmer and the UAS want a hangman's match. He sets up a gauntlet match for Mikael Judas at Fright Night...Jacoby Boykins, Se7en, and an opponent to be named later. If Judas somehow beats all three opponents, he'll get the match of his choice.
Blake Wilder vs. Bu Ku Dao vs. Matt Lancie: Have seen Dao before but I think the other two are making their debuts with Anarchy. Lancie has a size advantage(especially against Dao) and not coincidentally seems to be the lone heel in this one. Dao surprises Wilder with a crucifix out of nowhere for the flash pin...but Shadow & Nemesis(w/ Palmer) make an encore appearance to destroy everyone. Dao gets the noose around the neck...but Tag Team Champions Azrael & Slim J(w/ Dan Wilson) make the save. They're dressed for the occasion in barbed wire...hmm, wonder what the Fright Night stipulation will be? They won't play the UAS game this time around...the only other barbed-wire match in this building was between Azrael and Slim J so they have the experience. It is official: A barbed-wire match at Fright Night!
Bolt Brady vs. Bobby Moore: Hey, I know that guy...Brady wrestles for ACW in Texas as well as St. Louis Anarchy in my neck of the woods. Brady hits some major aerial offense in the early going...a rana sends Moore rolling to the outside and Brady follows him out with a no-hands somersault plancha! However, a well-timed legtrip halts Bolt's momentum as he lands hard on the ring apron. Brady battles back(I hate alliteration) with a flying double-knee, so Moore loads up the forearm pad of death...but Bolt still maneuvers into a sunset flip for two. Moore manages to turn things around and nail Brady with the questionable forearm smash...that's enough for the win. Promoter Franklin Dove announces that Moore will face his rival Seth Delay at Fright Night...and he brings out a guy in a Barney costume to show what Moore will be wearing if he loses. (See, Moore has purple ring attire so the fans chant "Barney" to bug him.) Moore suggests the stipulation for the other side: If he wins, he wants Seth to kiss his feet.
Adrian Hawkins(w/ Tommy Penirelli & C.B. Suave) vs. Kameron Kade, submission match for the Young Lions' Title: Per John Johnson's edict(with the blessing of Jerry Palmer), all of Hawkins' title defenses are submission matches. Kade busts out an old-school spinning toehold...wow. FOOT DDT~! Kade earned this match by virtue of his impressive win over...um...I'll get back to you on that. Kade dragon-screw legwhips Hawkins off the second rope, then hooks a figure-four leglock(WOO~!)...Wolverton mentions Ric Flair once beat Randy Savage with the figure-four to win a slightly more prestigious belt. Hawkins gets to the ropes...Kade goes for the hold again, but Hawkins small-packages him and, since there are no pinfalls in this match, transitions from that straight into the Sharpshooter...tappity-tap.
Penirelli & Suave talk up their Fright Night match with Vandal & Najasism...Johnson is said to be "on the road" and thus taking an extended leave of absence. On to Hawkins...who wants to step up and challenge him? Enter Dan Wilson...The Rev reminds Hawkins that he knows someone who once had Hawkins tapping out "like Gregory Hines on meth": Stryknyn! Penirelli informs them that Stryknyn won't be challenging Hawkins tonight, but maybe he'll accept a challenge from...C.B. Suave. Ha ha.
Stryknyn(w/ Dan Wilson) vs. C.B. Suave(w/ Young Lions' Champion Adrian Hawkins & Tommy Penirelli): It's all Stryknyn for a while, but he misses a corner knee and Suave sends him to the floor with a Jericho-style dropkick. Hawkins and Penirelli are only too happy to get in a few shots on their fallen adversary, as you might expect. The momentum swings a few times and Stryknyn spears Suave, then makes him tap out to the Tourniquet(Anaconda Vice) for the win!
Penirelli quickly attacks but takes a Rock Bottom and then HE gets locked in the Tourniquet for an extracurricular tapout. The Rev lets Hawkins know that the title match will take place at Fright Night...and to make sure Penirelli and Suave don't interfere, Franklin Dove has appointed a special guest referee: Todd Sexton! Sexton has no love lost for Hawkins, but he helped train both of these guys and he says he'll call it down the middle. Todd tells Hawkins to get in the ring and shake Stryknyn's hand...after much stalling, he finally enters the ring. Stryknyn promptly blows his nose on his hand before shaking his hand...eww.
