Commentators: Bret Wolverton & Jonathan Feltner.
Alex Avgerinos & Lars Manderson vs. Hot Commodity(C.B. Suave & Tommy Penirelli): "The Stray Cat" Brodie Ray Chase does commentary with Wolverton as he's taken an interest in the newcomers Avgerinos and Manderson. They have the size advantage but, as the old adage goes, there's no substitute for experience. On the other side of things, Suave & Penirelli aren't on the same page; Suave tags out at times when Penirelli's clearly not expecting it, then tags himself back into the action when he feels like it. Avgerinos takes the lion's share of the abuse from Hot Commodity, but he reverses a whip to send Penirelli crashing into Suave at a key moment. Manderson gets the tag as Penirelli's left with no one to tag on his side...and he hits the Falcon Arrow for the victory!
After the match, "The Italian-American Bad Boy" is upset at his partner . Suave seems to be amused by the whole situation...he's got a future title shot in the proverbial bank so this loss doesn't matter much to him.
"The Lethal Dose" Stryknyn vs. "The Five-Star King" Anthony Henry(w/ Miss Rachel): This old feud has been rekindled...literally, as Henry once burned Stryknyn with a fireball. Stryknyn dominates the opening minutes, but Henry German-suplexes Stryknyn into the turnbuckles to halt that momentum. The commentators wonder if Henry's attention is divided due to Rachael's recruitment of Shane Marx...hmm. The momentum shifts a few times and Stryknyn Rock-Bottoms Henry into the Tourniquet(Anaconda Vise)...Henry barely gets a foot on the bottom rope. Henry hits a Zigzag out of nowhere...for two. Stryknyn surprises him with a pop-up Demon Bomb...for two. He sets up for the spear, but Henry leapfrogs it...only for Stryknyn to turn right around and spear him on the second try! 1-2-3.
"The Encore" Kevin Blue & "The Sin City Saint" Brandon Parker vs. The Vandal & Kameron Kade: With Blue's obligations as Young Lions' Champion behind him, he and Parker are teaming up again. Vandal's gone through a few tag partners in his Anarchy career...haven't seen Najasism in a while. Blue takes the abuse for his side but fights back and tags in Parker...the house, as they say, is afire. Kade stops him with an enzuigiri and Vandal adds his own...now it's Parker in trouble. Blue makes a blind tag and Vandal gets planted with a double spinebuster. Parker sets Kade up on the turnbuckles, Blue nails Kade with a running boot, and Parker finishes the job with a piggyback Stunner! Blue gets the pin after that...well done.
Steven "The Fever" Walters vs. Mike Posey: Posey is still calling himself the uncrowned champion after his dubious countout win over Heavyweight Champion Mikael Judas...give the assist to Geter on that one. The commentators wonder if Walters is still hurting from a recent piledriver on the entrance ramp from B.J. Hancock. Posey targets the arm but Walters makes the comeback...Walters goes for a dragon suplex but Posey hangs onto the ref and mulekicks Walters in the Universal Weak Point. Posey small-packages Walters for the cheap pin...but Seth Delay runs out to protest the decision. With the blessing of promoter Franklin Dove(who has no love lost for Posey), we get a restart! Posey jaws with Dove and Delay...and Walters grabs him in the dragon suplex for the real pin!
"The Temptation" Shaun Tempers(w/ Agent/Attorney Jeff G. Bailey) vs. "The Seven-Figure Deal" Ace Rockwell for the Young Lions' Title: The history goes way back with these two as they entered NWA Wildside as a tag team known as Pomp & Circumstance. After Wildside became Anarchy, Tempers turned on Rockwell and that started a major feud between the two. Unfortunately, this makes two weeks in a row where the main event doesn't come to pass...Bailey informs us that Rockwell isn't there. After some token Cornelia-bashing by Jeff G., Tempers gets the opportunity to enlighten us...he's held all the gold in this company, don'cha know. He'll only defend his title against contenders who have proven themselves...that brings out Slim J, a guy who has ALSO held all four championships in this company. Tempers says Slim was never NWA North American Champion and was Young Lions' Champion before there was a belt for that honor(true; it was a medallion at the time). Bobby Moore comes out...he's a former T.V. Champion and feels like he deserves a shot. Bailey tells J and Moore to work things out themselves...
"The Real" Slim J vs. "Hit For Hire" Bobby Moore: Okay, this'll work. Tempers joins Wolverton at the broadcast position. The fight goes out of the ring in a hurry and Slim takes out Moore with a suicide dive...there's bad blood here as Moore attacked Slim a few weeks ago, leading to Iceberg fighting solo in the Tag Team Title loss to the Washington Bullets(Jon & Trey Williams). Moore brawls his way back into an advantage but J surprises him with a Northern Lights suplex...for two. He goes up for a moonsault but Moore shoves the ref into the ropes to knock him off-balance. Moore curbstomps him into the bottom turnbuckle...ow. J comes back with a rana and a turnbuckle-walk roundhouse kick...then the Screwdriver On The Rocks(Asai DDT into a Diamond Cutter) for two. Moore returns fire with the flying boot...for two. J rallies again but Moore levels him with a forearm smash(minus the elbowpad of death)...for two. Slim goes to the third floor but Moore evades the flying inverted DDT...out comes the aforementioned elbowpad, but Slim gets a bridging rollup for the flash pin!
Tempers gets in Slim's face with his title belt and Temptation spray, but Moore re-enters the ring to wipe out J with the loaded elbowpad! That's how we end the show this week...
Next week: "The Priest Of Punishment" Mikael Judas & "The No-Pain Train" Iceberg vs. "Wrestling's Most Dangerous Weapon" Geter & "The Deadly Sin" Se7en, plus Brodie Ray Chase vs. "The Modern Classic" B.J. Hancock.
