Kama pinned Danny Doring with the Soviet Suplex in 11:41. (*3/4)
Kama had a little trouble with Doring, since "Sugar" Shane Helms kept the referee distracted. However, Mandy and Victoria managed to distract Helms, and Kama was able to put Doring away with the Soviet Suplex.
Too Much defeated Kaz Hayashi and Taka Michinoku when Christopher pinned Kaz after the Veg-O-Matic in 8:30. (**1/4)
The four cruiserweights mixed it up well, but the underhanded tactics of Too Much managed to garner a win. "Too Hot" Scott Taylor held Hayashi's feet, out of the ref's view for Christopher to make the pin.
Alex Wright pinned Onyx after a jawbreaker in 17:14. (**)
Onyx's impressive start was brought to a halt with a loss to the conceited German. Wright seemingly won back the favor of Midajah, who only seems interested in Wright when he wins.
Ultimo Dragon pinned Super Crazy after a Frankensteiner in 11:00. (***1/2)
Ultimo and Crazy put on a great match, and they tried to outdo each other with suicide moves onto the floor outside the ring. Ultimo managed to retain his belt with a well-timed Frankensteiner.
(Ultimo Dragon retained the CCW Television Title.)
Ken Shamrock, Ahmed Johnson and Booker T defeated Rick Martel, Hakushi and Kanyon when Ahmed pinned Martel with the Pearl River Plunge in 12:11. (*1/4)
This action-packed six man tag match teetered back and forth, and ended when Booker tagged in Ahmed Johson, who promptly cleaned house and hit Rick Martel with his finisher for the win.
Mike Awesome pinned Tajiri after a Frog Splash in 13:29. (***3/4)
Mike Awesome proved to be too much for the Japanese Buzzsaw, and got the pin with a crushing frog splash.
NWA Tag Team Title Best of 7 Series: Match 2
The Hell Raisers defeated the Hell-Raisers when Warrior pinned Goldberg with the Thunder Drop in 12:00. (*3/4)
Austin and Hawk brawled outside the ring at the start, leaving the Power Warrior against Goldberg. "Da Man" seemed to dominate, but as he went for the Jackhammer, Warrior countered with a Thunder Drop, and got the pin. The CCW Raisers now tie the series, 1-1.
(The Hell Raisers tie the Best Of 7 Series, 1-1)
