The Head Hunters vs The Untouchables
----------------------------------------------------------
The Head Hunters obviously had the weight advantage, but Steve Strong had the muscle. Steve Corino, well, that little pipsqueek didn't have much of anything. The Untouchables hadn't been doing much wrestling and now would be their chance to get back on track.
Head Hunter #1 and Steve Strong started the match off. They locked up, but it immediately burst out into an exchange of fists which Strong won. Strong pushed HH#1 into the ropes and Irish Whipped him across, but got leveled with a clothesline upon his return. Head Hunter #1 took control, and shortly thereafter made the tag to his brother. Head Hunter #2 started right here HH#1 stopped as he continued to beat down Strong. This kept up for quite awhile until both Head Hunters tried to whip Strong into the ropes, but Steve came flying off with a double clothesline that knocked both men down. Steve Strong slowly made his way over to his corner and made the hot tag to Corino...well, as hot as a tag to Corino can be. Corino entered the ring and took HH#2 down with a dropkick followed by another onto HH#1. HH#2 was back up and charged at Corino, but Corino tried to lift him up for a bodyslam. Apparently he forgot he wasn't that strong as HH#2 crashed on top of Corino and held on for a cover, but Strong broke it up at two. Strong dropped HH#2 with a DDT, but when he turned around he was taken down by a clothesline by HH#1. Corino was back up, but didn't do much good as he charged at HH#1, but was backdropped out of the ring. Corino apparently hit his head on the concrete as he landed because he didn't move after that. HH#1 meanwhile picked Strong up and dropped him with a powerbomb in the middle of the ring. HH#1 then went to the top and came flying off with a huge legdrop. Strong was out of it and the three count was delivered.
The Head Hunters defeated The Untouchables when Head Hunter #1 pinned
Steve Strong after a flying legdrop in 0:08:50.
Rating: 1/4*
The Head Hunters left to a nice ovation while Corino reentered the ring to check on Steve Strong.
(We cut to the back where Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor are playing a game of Frogger on a Playstation (happy now, Leamon?). Taylor beats Christopher and he gives out a victory cheer which results in Christopher pushing Taylor off of his chair.)
Christopher: Dammit, man! You cheated!
(We go back to the ring for Droz's entrance. Mosh is already in the ring. What a great match this is going to be.)
------------------------
Mosh vs Droz
------------------------
Since Droz returned last week he has stated he is on a mission to win a title. Tonight he would get a chance to climb a rung towards that goal...a rather small rung, though, as he facing Mosh.
A typical match between these two. Back and forth action with quite a few restholds. Droz seemed a little bit more enthusiastic than usual. Apparently he is very serious about wanting a title. Mosh was his normal self. It's a shame the Head Bangers hardly ever pick up a win, because they do have some skill. Droz shocks the world when he hits his Power Bomb and gets another victory. Droz, a man who has hardly ever won a match, has won his last two! What a streak!
Darren Drozdov pinned Mosh with the Power Bomb in 0:09:19.

Drozdov leaves the ring to... a bad reaction. Droz just flips the crowd off.
(Once the ring is cleared "House of Pain" by BIG and Tu-Pac come over the speakers and Quackenbush makes his way down the aisle along with Eric Embry. Quackenbush enters the ring and raises his hand aboves his head to a rather large amount of boos. "Whoomp! There It Is!" is Too Cold Scorpio's music which must mean he is coming out next. He dances half way down the aisle before charging the aisle and silding into the ring thus starting the match.)
--------------------------------------------------------
Mike Quackenbush vs Too Cold Scorpio
--------------------------------------------------------
Quackenbush and Scorpio started the match off fast as they did a quick warm up session with sevearl armbars, head scissors, and dropkicks. Scorpio took control after a devastating savate kick that seemed to of come out of nowhere. Scorpio continued to dominate with his unique aerial offense. Quackenbush tried to make a comeback when he whipped Scorpio into the turnbuckles, but Scorpio ran up the turnbuckles and came flying off the top rope with a moonsault bodyblock onto Quackenbush, that almost got him a three. Quackenbush though got out in two. Scorpio picked Quackenbush back up, but Quackenbush hit him with a kick to the stomach. He then whipped him into the turnbuckles again and once again Scorpio ran up the turnbuckles and flying off with a moonsault bodyblock only this time Quackenbush stepped out of the way and Scorpio hit the mat. Quackenbush took control from there with several high impact moves. After connecting with a springboard dropkick that connected right on Scorpio's jaw Quackenbush was ready to end it. He picked up Scorpio and kicked him in the midsection and went for the Quackensmash (Stunner), but Scorpio countered it with an inverted DDT!!! Quackenbush was down and Scorpio went right to the top turnbuckle...450 SPLASH CONNECTS! Scorpio hooked the leg and got the three count!
Too Cold Scorpio pinned Mike Quackenbush with the 450 Splash in 0:08:39.
Rating: **
Scorpio left the ring quickly knowing that Embry was at ringside and D'Lo was probably somewhere in the building. Meanwhile Embry entered the ring and checked on Mike.
(We went through a round of commercials and came back just in time for our Luck of the Draw match.)
---------------------------------------
Luck of the Draw (G!L!W!)
---------------------------------------
We soon found out who would be the first participant, John Kronus. The crowd wasn't overly pleased as they were hoping for a high caliber match, and while Kronus is a great wrestler, he isn't exactly at the top of the rankings. His opponent would be ... the Lightweight Champ, the Dragon Kid!!!
The Kid tried to use his quickness to keep Kronus down, but the problem with that is that Kronus is pretty fast as well. Kronus is also a lot larger. So, with that in mind, Kronus had quite an easy time in dominating the Dragon Kid. That is until New Jack made his way down the aisle. It should be noted that New Jack's jaw was taped up from the attack he received at the hands of Matt Hardy. Kronus started arguing with New Jack which allowed the Dragon Kid to climb up to the top turnbuckle. When Kronus turned around he couldn't find the Dragon Kid at first. Once he did he walked over to the corner where he was apparently forgetting what the Kid's entire move set is based around and he walked right into the Dragon Rana! The Kid held onto the legs and got the three count!
Dragon Kid pinned John Kronus with the Dragon Rana in 0:07:44.
Rating: * 1/4
New Jack entered the ring as soon as the match was over and started dropping some forearms onto the back of Kronus. He continued to beat on him when Too Cool made their way down the aisle. They both entered the ring and started beating down the Kid. This sent out Juventud Guerrera who entered the ring and attacked Too Cool. Soon we had Kronus and New Jack brawling on one side of the ring while Too Cool and the Dragon Kid and Juventud were brawling on the other. Luckily we had some WWA officials close by to break it up.
We were then ready for our main event.

Ken Shamrock vs Ace Darling
-------------------------------------------
Ken Shamrock has that huge four way match at the Drawing of the Four PPV and he needed this victory here to gain some momentum. Ace Darling on the other hand will be teaming with Devon Storm against the team of Mike Quackenbush and D'Lo Brown to determine the #1 contenders for the tag titles so he also needs some momentum.
Shamrock and Ace had a nice wrestling sequence from the hookup that resulted in Shamrock having Ace in an armbar, but Ace quickly got out of that and hit a dropkick to knock Shamrock down. Ace started hitting Shamrock with several hurtful moves including an impressive DDT that almost had Shamrock down for the three count. Shamrock fought back, however, and took Ace down with a Frankensteiner out of nowhere. A belly to belly suplex followed and just as quick as that he had Ace in the Ankle Lock Submission! Ace was in quite a lot of pain and just barely made it to the ropes. Shamrock was less than impressed as he picked Ace up and started pounding on him with some fists. Ace fought back with his own and actually got the upperhand and took Shamrock down with a piledriver that only got a two. Ace went back to work and tried some more high flying this time and hit a moonsault that only got two. He then tried a flying legdrop off of the top rope, but it also only got two. Ace was getting frustrated and decided to end it as he went for his German Suplex, but Shamrock countered it by bringing his leg up with a low blow. Shamrock turned around and grabbed Ace around the waist and brought him over with a belly to belly suplex. He then hooked him back into the Ankle Lock Submission and this time Ace was too tired to try and make it to the ropes and decided it was time to submit.
Ken Shamrock made Ace Darling submit to the Ankle Lock Submission in 0:11:54.
Rating: *** 1/4
Ken Shamrock was more than happy with his victory and decided to leave the ring. Mike Quackenbush, D'Lo, and Embry decided to gain a little bit of an advantage, however, as they charged the ring and started pounding on the wounded Ace. Darling tried to fight them off, but had no luck. This brought out Devon Storm who carried a chair and cleared the ring as we faded to black.
