Jim Ross, there comes a time when bad men are forced to do bad things! Road Warriors..... if you show up trying to take these World titles from me..... something that puts meals on my table...... bad things are surely gonna happen!"    

 Michael Hayes: "And that's coming from a man who doesn't like to talk alot! Now imagine what he's willing to do to back that talk up! See ya at Heat Wave boys!"

 Main Event: Cactus Jack vs Brian Pillman                  

Jack uses his size and sadistic streak to maul Pillman and the fans live it as Pillman begs off. Quickening the pace at times, Pillman strikes with a springboard dropkick from the apron and later knocks Cactus out of the ring before following him out with a dropkick through the ropes. Cactus grabs a headlock to run Pillman into the ringpost, but Brian counters with a back suplex on the floor and displays his daredevil attitude as he climbs up the nearby stairs and leaps off to nail Cactus with the Air Pillman clothesline. Brian returns to the ring and tries to suplex Cactus back in, but Jack reverses it and suplexes Brian down to the floor on his tailbone, then falls off the apron and barely misses landing on Pillman. JR says on commentary that this is the brutality that Chris Adams can expect next week when he defends the NWA World tv title against Cactus.

Trying to get back in the ring, Pillman climbs up on the apron and Cactus knocks him off, sending Pillman crashing down on the guardrail throat-first. Back inside, Jack tries an aerial assault of his own off the top turnbuckle and Brian meets him with a dropkick on the way down, but when Pillman goes up top himself, Cactus knocks him down to the floor and dives off the apron with his trademark suicidal elbowdrop. Returning to the ring first, Jack pounces on Brian as he's trying to climb back inside and chokes him on the ropes while referee Mike Atkins attempts to pull them apart. With the ref's view obstructed, Mr. Perfect appears at ringside and slaos Pillman in the face. Pillman staggers back, shocked to see Perfect as Cactus rolls Pillman  for the three-count!
