-It was announced that all of the titles were vacated due to
circumstances beyond the promotion's control; the Heavyweight Title
would be decided by a round-robin tournament. Brandon Espinosa and
Da'Marius Jones were automatically entered and the other four
participants would be determined in qualifying matches.
-Heavyweight
Title Tournament Qualifier: J-Mal Swagg d. Damion Cortess after the
Zigzag (6:50). Cortess shook Swagg's hand afterwards but then laid him
out with a cheapshot.
-Heavyweight Title Tournament Qualifier: "The"
Ace Hawkins d. The Big Texan(Jim Hoffarth going back under the mask)
after countering a chokeslam attempt with a mid-air DDT and then
following up with a somersault Ace Crusher (5:47).
-Garrett Shanks d.
"The Enforcer" Jimmy D after Moondog Rover stopped D from using his
baseball bat, allowing Shanks to finish with a Diamond Cutter (4:04).
-Heavyweight Title Tournament Qualifier: Moondog Rover d. B.T. Daramola with the World's Strongest Slam (5:12).
-Heavyweight
Title Tournament Qualifier: Barackus(subbing for "Da Bomb" Brian
James) d. "Night Train/Gorgeous/Great One" Gary Jackson; Jackson nearly
got Barackus in the Texas Cloverleaf, but James' music played and
Jackson released the hold to see if James was in the building. Barackus
took advantage with the clawhold Flatliner for the upset win (8:24).
-Varik
Morgan d. Deacon Cash by DQ; Cash accidentally elbowed the referee and
Morgan rallied with a flying knee strike, Codebreaker, and
fireman's-carry into a Pele Kick, leading to a second referee counting
the pinfall (12:21). However, the first official recovered and called
it a DQ win for Morgan due to Cash striking a ref; Commissioner Jim
Harris said that the rebranded championship shouldn't start out on a DQ
finish, so Morgan and Cash would face each other again at the January
show to determine the new titleholder.
-Brandon Espinosa d. Da'Marius
Jones by DQ to retain the MWR Missouri Title; Espinosa got Jones in the
cross-armbreaker, but Ace Hawkins ran in with a swanton bomb onto Espy
to cause the disqualification (15:23). Moondog Rover hit the ring and
dropped Ace with the World's Strongest Slam, then Barackus entered the
fray and got Rover in the clawhold. J-Mal Swagg entered the fight and
took out the big man with the Zigzag, leaving Espy/Moondog/Swagg
standing tall to the close the show...those six men will be the
participants in the round-robin tournament for the Heavyweight Title
