Alongside Tazz (in for Al Snow), Michael Cole welcomes us aboard and sends it in to ring announcer Tony Chimmel for our opening contest.
Tajiri vs. Albert
-This is the second straight week that Albert has taken on a heel cruiserweight. Albert shoves Tajiri around as he pleases until Tajiri slows him down with kicks and an inziguri. Albert keeps the advantage with a big splash. 1-picked up by Albert. That usually comes back to bite whoever does it on the ass, Albert drives Tajiri's spine into the buckle, then powerslams him for two from referee Mike Chioda. Albert works a kneeling surfboard. Albert presses Tajiri over his head, Tajiri tries to turn it into a sunset flip, but Albert drives him off. Tajiri with a big kick. 1-2-Albert kicks out with authority. Tajiri manages to avoid the Baldo Bomb and a bicycle kick, but he falls victim to a delayed butterfly suplex. Albert looks to end it, but Tajiri manages a quick Kick of Death and that's that. See, it never pays to pull a man up when you've got him pinned. Jesse Ventura taught us that. Anyway, somewhat of upset in an OK match.
-HERE is YOUR Winner: Tajiri

The Hurricane vs. Christian
-Pretty huge ovation for The Hurricane. Conversely, major heat for Christian. What does that tell us? These guys are over, folks. Christian mocks Hurricane after a shoulder block, and Our Hero imitates a Christian tantrum as payback. Hurricane with a flurry of light moves, but Christian dodges a corner charge and drapes Our Hero over the uppermost strand. Christian elbows Hurricane to the floor then fetches him back into the ring. Christian mounts Hurricane for punches as referee Brian Hebner admonishes. Christian with a hard boot to the gut, 1-2-kickout. Christian works the ribs with another stiff kick, but Our Hero retaliates with a neckbreaker. Hurricane goes for the chokeslam, but Christian counters out. Christian goes for the inverted backbreaker, but Our Hero scores the Hurrikick. Hurricane throws his cape over Christian's head and nails him with a cross body block off the top. 1-2-shoulder up. Hurricane rolls Christian up. 1-2-Christian rolls through and hooks the tights. 1-2-Christian grabs the middle rope-3. Christian steals one in a good match. Solid win for Christian, he needed one.
-HERE is YOUR Winner: Christian
