1st Match: ONE MAN GANG w/ SOH vs MIKE DAVIS
SOH'S man is a beast here and DAVIS has no chance although he does his best !
OMG basically brushes off any of DAVIS'S attempts at offense and after GANG gives him an avalanche in the corner,he hits the 747 slash to get an easy pin count!
2nd Match:The SHEEPHERDERS w/EDDIE GILBERT and SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM vs THE BATTEN TWINS
The BATTENS start off pretty hot here as they use some great teamwork and their speed to keep the HERDERS on defense who actually bailed from the ring to seek advice from EDDIE GILBERT as the fans cheer the BATTENS!
The HERDERS return to the ring and thru some quick dubious tactics,they regain control and start double teaming the twins and keep their advantage!
The HERDERS used some violent moves to keep BART away from tagging his brother and eventually get the pin on BRAD!
3rd Match: The MAGNIFICANT MURACO vs TERRY GIBBS
GIBBS and MURACO have a good back and forth,hold and counterhold to start things off but they call DON ,MAGNIFICENT for a reason and soon MURACO takes control and after some softening up,he hits the tombstone piledriver on GIBBS and gets the pin!
