Apocalypse vs Johnny Homicide

This match would be fast paced from the start. Both men traded the advantage in the beginning, with quick dropkicks and takedowns. Homicide would live up to his name, however, when both men were standing on the floor. He snuck a chair shot in behind the referee's back that almost knocked Apocalypse out cold. Homicide rolled Apocalypse back in the ring and began to give him a stiff beating. Apocalypse would have a short come-back near the 3:30 mark, landing a standing side kick that knocked Homicide over the top rope, but he could not sustain it long as Homicide tripped him and crotched him on the ring post. Homicide went for the cover at this point, but only got a two count. Frustrated, Homicide tried to whip Apocalypse into the buckle, but Apocalypse reversed, sending Homicide face-first into the corner. As Homicide backed out of the corner, dazed, Apocalypse followed with a drop kick to the back of the head, sending Homicide's face crashing into the top buckle. Seeing Homicide dazed on the mat, Apocalypse quickly climbed the ropes and hit a huge leg drop off the top which earned him the 3 count.
 
 
RESULT:
Apocalypse d. Johnny Homicide at 4:26 via pinfall
 
 
 
 
 

Prodigy vs Sweet Daddy

 
Sweet Daddy would enter the ring here, oozing confidence, only to be kicked in the head by Prodigy. As a result the match stayed in Prodigy's favor early on, Prodigy using his extensive knowledge of submission wrestling to keep Sweet Daddy on the mat. He was able to injure the right arm of Sweet Daddy, and Sweet Daddy would have given in right there if the ropes had not been close. Prodigy made a mistake and lost the advantage when he went to the top ropes for an elbow drop. Sweet Daddy moved and Prodigy crashed to the mat. Sweet Daddy was all business from here on out, working Prodigy over with stomps and kicks, and using little technical skill. Daddy tried a lariat and ended up hurting himself more than Prodigy because of his injured arm. Prodigy then tried to come back, going again for the right arm, but instead ran into a DDT. Sweet Daddy was able to frankenstiener Prodigy, and just to make his point stick landed a top rope knee drop. Sweet Daddy then nailed the drained Prodigy with a Daddy-Plex for the 1-2-3.
 
 
 
RESULT:
Sweet Daddy defeated Prodigy at 5m 50s via pinfall (The Daddy-Plex)
 
 
 
 
 

Sgt. Stevie Wonder vs Devastation

 
The Sarge was a house of fire in this one. He entered the ring and immediately jumped Devastation, sending him to the mat in a flurry of punches and kicks. He sent Devastation to the ropes and caught him with a DDT. Devastation would come back and lay some shots in, but it was like Wonder couldn't be stopped. Wonder landed a top rope elbow drop, followed by a pile driver. Picking Devastation up, he landed an inverted atomic drop, then a lariat. Devastation lay on the mat, apparently half dead, and Wonder faced the crowd, giving them his trademark head swivel. Devastation, however, was UP behind Wonder! When Wonder turned around, Devastation rolled him up in a small package! Wonder, stunned, failed to kick out before the 3, giving Devastation the win! Afterwards, Devastation jumped right up and walked out, showing that he was not as hurt as he had led everyone to believe.
 
 
 
RESULT: Devastation d. Sgt. Stevie Wonder at 4:40 via pinfall
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Navy Seals vs Shadow/Rebel

 
Shadow and Rebel are two great singles wrestlers, but as they would find out here, it takes more than that to be a tag team contender. The match started out Nick vs Shadow. Shadow gained the advantage early on with stiff kicks and tremendous speed, but Grundle showed his tag team experience by luring Shadow into his corner where he and Demo Dick began to double team him. Double suplexes, quick tags, and dirty tricks were used by the Seals to keep Shadow down in their corner. They lost the advantage when Rebel, fed up with following the rules and watching his partner get beat down, ran across the ring and drop kicked Marcinko over the top rope! Shadow crawled over to the corner, looking for the tag... Grundle tried to stop him, but it was too late! Shadow made the tag, and Rebel came into the ring like a cyclone, tearing the Navy Seals apart. Grundle grabbed the referee, begging him for help... but it was a ruse. Demo Dick Marcinko entered the ring behind the referee's back and slammed Rebel with a steel chair. When Marcinko was done, Grundle released the ref and made the cover. The beaten Shadow was not fast enough to stop the ref before he counted 3 and gave victory to the Navy Seals.
 
 
 
RESULT:
The Navy Seals d. Shadow/Rebel at 10:38
 
 
 
 
 
 

Xtreme Gangsta vs Weehawk
EXPLODING RING DEATHMATCH

 
The ropes were replaced with barbed wire, the corners wired with small explosives and the ring set to explode at the 10 minute mark for this one. Weehawk came to the ring to Dr. Dre and Ice Cube's 'Natural Born Killaz' and was assaulted as soon as he hit the ring by Xtreme Gangsta. Inside the first minute both men were bleeding heavily, Gangsta was on the receiving end of a rope burn on the barbed wire and Weehawk got tangled up in the top and second ropes. Gangsta would remove Weehawk's mask, only to find him wearing a barbed wire crown underneath. Weehawk used the crown as a weapon as he would repeatedly head butt Gangsta. Weehawk went for a version of the Harlem Side Kick, but it was ducked by Gangsta, causing Weehawk to land crotch-first on the top rope. Gangsta then managed to tie Weehawk's head in the bottom and middle ropes and repeatedly stomp it. Weehawk got free and produced a pair of wire cutters from his trunks. He cut down the top rope and both men used it as a whip to flog the other. Gangsta choked Weehawk from behind with the wire, but Weehawk kicked backwards and hit Gangsta below the belt. Weehawk took the rope and wrapped it around his boot. He then whipped the still stunned Gangsta into the exploding buckle. The explosion sent him flying forward, right into a Weehawk Yakuza Kick, which sent Gangsta back into the buckle and into another explosion. When the smoke cleared, Xtreme Gangsta was unconscious on the floor.
 
 
RESULT: Weehawk d. Xtreme Gangsta at 5:11 via KO
 
 
 

Marty the Mauler vs Vermin
POWER BOMB DEATHMATCH 
 
 
The rules for this one state that in order to win, you must knock your opponent out with a power bomb. No DQ, no countouts. Vermin and Marty both came to the ring touting steel chairs, but Marty was the first to put his to use, breaking it over Vermin's head as he came into the ring. Vermin was unfazed, however, and smashed his chair over Marty's head, busting him open. This match was a complete brawl from start to finish, with no technical moves being used by either man. Vermin held the advantage for most of this match because of his sheer size, hitting Marty with short clotheslines, back breakers and even a back spin kick. The action spilled out into the ringside area, where Vermin pulled up the mats, attempting to 187 Powerbomb Marty on the exposed concrete. Marty showed amazing strength, though, because he flipped Vermin over his back! Marty then grabbed a section of guardrail and slammed it into Vermin's head before rolling him back in the ring. Marty would then go for his Eazy 3 crucifix power bomb, but he couldn't lift Vermin up, and ended up getting hit with a western lariat from Vermin. Vermin then took to the air, landing a body splash on the downed Mauler. Vermin then managed hit Marty with a non-187 power bomb, but when the referee checked the Mauler was still conscious and the match was ordered to continue. Vermin then set Marty up next to the ropes, got a running start and clothesline him over the top, right on to the area where he had removed the mats earlier in the match. Marty, however, landed on his feet on the outside. Vermin turned his back, giving the sign for the 187, while Marty climbed onto the ring apron behind him. Reaching back, he grabbed Vermin by the arms and jumped off the apron. The added weight and leverage of the fall made it possible for Marty to execute the Easy 3 power bomb! Vermin landed on the exposed concrete floor. The referee checked him and ruled him unable to continue, giving the victory to the bloody and battered Mauler.
 
 
RESULT:
Marty the Mauler d. Vermin at 5:06 via KO

The RWO theme comes on to sparse cheers and loud boos as SychoOCJ comes out. He stands in the isleway, taking in all of the boos with a smile, then walks to the ring and into the cage.)

RESULT:
Nomad d. SychoOCJ at 10:03 via submission (The Danger Zone)
 

(The cage begins to lift over the two combatants. Suddenly, the Vicious Alliance storms the ring!! The cage lowers after them, trapping SychoOCJ and Nomad inside with the VA! Nomad and Sycho OCJ back up to the center of the ring, away from the VA... and back into each other! They turn and give each other a look... and shake hands!!! Nomad and SychoOCJ then charge the VA, Nomad to Destructo and Apocalypse and OCJ to Devastation and Corruption!! Even with the two on one odds, Nomad and SychoOCJ hold their own in the ring, which stuns the VA! Devastation gives a hand signal to the arena rafters, and the cage lifts up. The VA exit through the crowd, and members of the Vigilantes and RWO sprint to ringside to back up their respective members. Both teams are at a stand-off, not knowing what to expect. Finally, Nomad extends his hand. The crowd goes wild, and OCJ shakes it. Nomad holds up OCJ's hand for all to see.
 
Suddenly, Vermin, bandaged from his earlier match, comes storming through the entranceway in street clothes. He has his tag title belt in one hand and a sword in the other. He approaches the ring, behind Nomad and SychoOCJ. He enters the ring and slaps Nomad and OCJ's hands apart. He slams the tag title belt down on the mat in front of him and points the sword at the RWO, seemingly as a warning. Nomad looks stunned, and Vermin begins screaming at him.
 
 
Vermin : "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!? This puke is the enemy!! He kidnapped your F*^%ING woman! Are you stupid?!"
 
 
Nomad : "It's none of your business what I do, big man. Keep your nose out of this."
 
 
Vermin : "BULLS**T, this *IS* my business!! I'm supposed to team with you and you're out here shaking hands with a bunch of free roaming garbage!!"
 
 
Eazy-T : "Watch your mouth, Vermin. The RWO is the best thing in wrestling, and Nomad knows that. We ain't garbage."
 
 
Vermin : (Turns to Eazy-T) : "Shut up, punk, or I'll call Bo out here."
 
 
Eazy-T : "What the F**&?!?"
 
(Eazy takes a swing at Vermin. Vermin swings his sword, causing the RWO to scatter. SychoOCJ takes Vermin's legs out from behind, Eazy grabs the sword and the RWO begin stomping Vermin down. Nomad looks at Vermin, then at the RWO, then exits the ring, Vigilantes in tow. Weehawk eventually runs down with a barbed wire whip and runs the RWO off, but the damage has been done. Vermin is left laying in the ring.
