D-Lo Brown and Owen Hart vs The Untouchables
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Untouchables then went up against D-Lo Brown and Owen Hart, who
apparently are starting their own Nation which includes themselves and
The Gladiator at this time. Neither D-Lo or Owen wanted to get into
the ring with The Barbarian which resulted in D-Lo and Owen keeping
Steve Strong in the ring for most of the match. However, D-Lo messed
up one move...missing a clothesline and on the rebound Steve Strong
hit D-Lo with a flying clothesline which was just enough to keep D-Lo
down for the 3 count. Steve Strong got out of there quickly while Owen
tried to help D-Lo up.
[Round 1]:
The Untouchables defeated The Nation (D-Lo Brown and Owen Hart) when
Steve Strong pinned D-Lo after a clothesline in 0:09:37.

The Gangstanators vs The Head Hunters
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gangstanators went to the extreme with The Head Hunters. Many
objects were used including chairs, pieces of glass, tables, and
everything but the kitchen sink. It was The Gangstanators who walked
away with the win after New Jack hit his Diving Chair onto one of the
Head Hunters.
[Round 1]:
The Gangstanators defeated The Head Hunters when New Jack pinned Head
Hunter #1 with the Diving Chair in 0:25:16.

Dean Malenko & Chris Benoit vs The Mexican Jumping Beans
------------------------------------------------------------------
The next match was a major upset. It wasn't clean either. Chris Benoit
and Dean Malenko simply dominated Kid Guzman and Pablo Marquez the
entire matchup. That is until Too Cold Scorpio came out distracting
Dean Malenko long enough for Pablo to hit a flying forearm which was
followed up with his flying legdrop which got him the 3 count and
the victory. Afterwards Malenko got on the mic and said he didn't
respect anybody except for Chris Benoit and there is no way he would
ever respect a no-talent jobber like Scorpio. Benoit and Malenko then left
together. Has Benoit joined Malenko in his feud with Scorpio?
[Round 1]:
The Mexican Jumping Beans defeated
(Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko when Guzman pinned
D. Malenko after a flying legdrop in 0:16:14.
Rating: ** 1/2

Ace Darling & Devon Storm vs The Untouchables
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ace Darling and Devon Storm then came away with yet another impressive
win. This time it was over The Untouchables. Many people thought that
the Untouchables would win the whole thing, but it was Ace Darling
hitting Steve Strong with a chair while The Barbarian was
accidentally distracting the referee. A Devon Storm elbowdrop from the
second turnbuckle that put Steve Strong away while Darling held back The
Barbarian. Afterwards Devon and Ace laughed at
the Untouchables and called them a couple of pussies. Strong and The
Barbarian chased after Ace and Devon, but Darling and Storm were quick to
leave through the crowd.
[Semi-Finals]:
Ace Darling and Devon Storm defeated The Untouchables when D. Storm
pinned Steve Strong after an elbowdrop from the second turnbuckle in
0:12:44. Rating: * 1/2

The Gangstanators vs The Mexican Jumpings Beans
------------------------------------------------------------------
I have no idea how The Mexican Jumpings Beans made it out with their
lives. They lost tons of blood and had to be stretchered out after
the match.
[Semi-Finals]:
The Gangstanators defeated The Mexican Jumping Beans when New Jack
pinned Guzman with the Diving Chair in 0:13:27.

Ace Darlings & Devon Storm vs The Gangstanators
------------------------------------------------------------------
It was then time for the finals. Ace Darling and Devon Storm were
going to fight it out with The Gangstanators for the tag team titles
and what a match it turned out to be! However, the ending was less
than clean. It was The Untouchables coming out, after a ref bump, that
resulted in the unclean finish. After the ref bump, The Barbarian and
Steve Strong ran out and blasted Devon and Ace with chair shots. New
Jack and Kronos tapped them on their shoulders and Strong and The
Barbarian turned around and planted both New Jack and Kronos with
chair shots as well! The Untouchables left the ring laughing while all
4 men battled to get to their feet. The ref woke up and had no idea
what happened and let the match continue. It was Devon getting up
first and planting Kronos on the back of his neck with a German Suplex
and giving them the win. ACE DARLING AND DEVON STORM ARE THE TAG TEAM
CHAMPIONS! Huge happenings going into Raging Rumble.
[Finals]: Match for the vacant WWA World Tag Team Titles:
Ace Darling and Devon Storm defeated The Gangstanators when D. Storm
pinned Kronus after a German suplex in 0:14:12.
