-Classic Title Tournament Quarterfinal: Flash Flanagan vs. "Volatile" Curtis Wylde(w/ Wyldefyre) ended in a no-contest when Marc Houston attacked both men (1:31); Houston proclaimed that the non-finish would give him a bye in the semifinals...and in the chaos, Moondog Rover carried off Wyldefyre.

-"Your Canadian Hero" Sean Vincent & "Big Country" Clint Poe d. Guerrilla Warfare(The Big Texan & Waco) when Waco accidentally hit Texan with a foreign object, allowing Poe to powerslam Texan for the victory (13:50).
-Classic Title Tournament Quarterfinal: "The Icon" Chris Hargas(w/ Travis Cook) d. "Night Train/Gorgeous/Great One" Gary Jackson; Travis distracted the referee when Jackson had Hargas in the Texas Cloverleaf and Hargas appeared to be tapping out; Hargas was able to recover and get the flash pin with a crucifix (9:59).
-Classic Title Tournament Quarterfinal: "Ironman" Ken Kasa d. "The Unstable" Dave Vaughn. The men knew each other very well as Vaughn countered a Thesz Press attempt with a mid-air spear before attacking Kasa's bandaged ribs. Kasa delivered his own spear at one point for a near-fall, then countered Vaughn's next spear attempt with a guillotine hold. Vaughn set up for a spear on the ring apron(as he delivered to Kasa in February) but Kasa stopped it with a kick to the head. Back in the ring, Kasa delivered his signature John Wu Dropkick off the second rope, but was too injured to go for an immediate over and Vaughn kicked out at 2 1/2. In the end, Kasa got the win by blocking a sunset flip attempt (12:22).
-After the match, Drew interviewed Travis Cook and that turned into a confrontation with his former protege Kasa(the other semifinal is now set to be Kasa vs. Hargas)...Hargas dashed out to ringside and attacked Kasa, sparking a brawl at ringside. It ended with Kasa missing a wild swing at Hargas and striking the ringpost, seemingly injuring his hand...referees finally restored order at that point.
