Owen Hart vs Robert Thompson for the WWA TV Title
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Thompson does what everybody knew he could, he beat Owen Hart
and thus won the TV Title! This match was also clean which shocked
some people. Owen and Robert put on a great wrestling match and Owen
even had the Sharpshooter on Robert, but Robert somehow struggled to
the ropes. Owen tried to follow it up by Irish Whipping Robert into
the ropes, but Owen put his head down just a moment too soon and that
gave Robert the perfect chance to hook Owen's arms and hit his Double
Arm DDT. Robert rolled over and hooked a leg and the ref delivered the
3 count! Robert Thompson jumped up and started celebrating until D-Lo
Brown and The Gladiator ran out and just started to pound on him. This
brought out Jyushin Lyger and Ken Shamrock who quickly got Robert out
of harm's way. They then left with Thompson holding his TV Title
tightly. It looks like Shamrock and Lyger have found another person to
help them in their battle with The Nation.
Robert Thompson pinned Owen Hart with the Double Arm DDT in 0:16:49.

Bill Goldberg vs Too Cold Scorpio
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The next match was going to be interesting as it was between two of
the top fan favorites, Too Cold Scorpio and Goldberg. Scorpio and
Goldberg both exchanged moves for several minutes until Destruction
came down with Jackyl. Destruction looked as mean as ever. Jackyl had
a microphone and said that Destruction was determined to be the only
heavyweight in this promotion and he would not stop with Goldberg
until Goldberg left the WWA. Goldberg was distracted by these words
which gave Scorpio the chance to clip his knee. Scorpio then quickly
hit a back suplex. Scorpio climbed the ropes and hit his 450 Splash to
get the win. Scorpio walked off, but not before, through a camera,
challenging
Malenko. Goldberg meanwhile just got to his knees and looked very
upset.
Too Cold Scorpio pinned Bill Goldberg with the 450 Splash in 0:14:20.

Destruction vs Jyushin Lyger
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Destruction came right back out due to him being in the next match
against Jyushin Lyger. Destruction and Lyger put on a great match and
despite Lyger's best efforts he just couldn't get the job done. At the
end Lyger tried to hit Destruction with some sort of flying axehandle
or something, but Destruction caught him by the neck and plowed him
into the mat with Pure Destruction. Destruction walked away with the
win while The Nation ran out and tried to get an attack in on Lyger,
but they were followed by Ken Shamrock who chased the 3 Nation
members off.
Destruction pinned Jyushin Lyger with the Pure Destruction in 0:11:02.

Luck of the Draw (G!L!W!) match
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Jyushin Lyger was rolling around on the mat holding his neck when it
was time for our Luck of the Draw match. And as luck would have it
Lyger's name was chosen. However, in a little bit of good news, Kid
Guzman was announced as his opponent. Lyger was out of it for most of
the match, but just needed to hit one flying crossbody press to get
the 3 count over Guzman.
Jyushin Lyger pinned Kid Guzman after a flying cross body press in
0:07:12.

The Gangstanators vs The Head Hunters
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It was then time for the main event where The Head Hunters were facing
The Gangstanators. These two teams did their normal brawling around
the arena and New Jack hit a dive off the balcony onto HH#2. Back in
the ring it was Kronus doing battle with HH#1. Kronus ended up hitting
a version of the Michinoku Driver and went for the pin, but it was
broken up by Ace Darling and Devon Storm. Devon picked Kronus up and
hit him with his Thunderclap Brainbuster and they both left the ring.
Before they could get all the way to the back though they were
ambushed by The Untouchables. Meanwhile in the ring HH#1 got back to
his feet and hit a moonsault onto Kronus to the pinfall.
The Head Hunters defeated The Gangstanators when Head Hunter #1 pinned
Kronus after a moonsault in 0:17:55.
