Joey Styles: "HELLO EVERYBODY!!! AND WELCOME TO THE FINAL STOP ON THE ROAD TO STARRCADE! Tomorrow night is the biggest show of the year for the NWA, but after tonight either Progress Wrestling or the UWF will not be part of that historic event because tonight, it's all or nothing...... winner take all as Progress Wrestling takes on the UWF!" Jim Ross: "A historic night indeed! I just wish it was under different circumstances but that's the nature of this business, because according to our respective bosses, the NWA isn't big enough for the both of us. We have seven matches tonight and the stakes are real simple...... lose your match, and your gone! Your unemployed no matter which company wins tonight. Win your match and you will belong to the winning company!" Joey Styles: "And the big news going into tonight's show, we learned just minutes before going live, that Lex Luger is not here so far tonight! That has to sit the UWF behind the eight ball so to speak in tonight's five on five elimination match" Jim Ross: "Unfortunately the rumors are true! Luger has no showed us tonight. Maybe Kerry Von Erich was right all along..... perhaps Luger can't be trusted. But the main question is, will Watts have a replacement? Or will the UWF go into that match a man down?" Joey Styles: "Alot of unanswered questions for sure. But before we start, let me say that it's an honor to be able to call the action with you here tonight. May the best company win!! And we are going to kick things off with two of the best Super Juniors in the world looking to get the win and put their company on the board! Let's get up to the ring!"

There's still a lot of work left to do. A big win for Guerrero..... yes! But what I hate to see is that El Hijo Del Vikingo is now a free agent! That kid really had a lot going for himself." Jim.

Match Three: Shinsuke Nakamura vs Stan Hansen (Progress Atlas title vs the UWF TV Title) Hansen's entrance is an incredible spectacle; emerging into the crowd and scattering fans to all parts, flailing them with his bullrope as they go. Stan barely lets the introductions finish before he charges at his opponent, swinging like a mad-man. Nakamura is fighting for his life and is shunted out of the ring and brained against the ringpost in short order. His bell rung, his senses scrambled, he also has to cope with Stan targeting his midsection as well; first with ground holds then with no-nonsense CHAIR SHOTS to the spine. Boston Crab applied looking to force a submission, and when Nakamura refuses to tap Hansen decides it's easier just to mercilessly punt him in the back instead. More clobbering to the back comes next. Even when Nakamura tries to roll away Stan simply sits on his back and cranks a camel clutch. A football tackle knocks Nakamura right over the top rope. He goes for an inside cradle on the way back in and, although it doesn't yield victory, it does set up a position where he can blast Hansen with a diving lariat. Stan piles into the injured back again to put a stop to that charge however. Nakamura wills his ailing body into a trademark jumping enzi strike but has little else to offer and is emphatically dropped onto his back again moments later with a northern lights throw by The Lariat. Finally Stan misses a precision elbow to the midsection, opening the door for Nakamura to hit a diving crossbody. It gets 2 - but of course hurts him to execute as much as it damages Hansen. Going to the well again, he lunges at Hansen in the corner...and is left pinging off the turnbuckles and to the floor when Hansen ducks. Prone on the outside, Hansen gives him no space and happily batters on the spine. Nakamura tries a body slam...but his back gives out and Hansen's considerable body weight squashes him from above. Irritated at Nakamuras refusal to quit, Stan BATTERS him with clubbing blows. Desperate to escape, Nakamura grabs the small package...and grabs the win out of nowhere at 14:40! The fans are shocked and pop huge as Nakamura is announced the Progress Atlas champion and the UWF TV Champion as Progress goes up 2 -0!
Joey Styles: "JR, I lready know what your going to say..... Stan Hansen kicked Nakamura's ass in that match! And to be fair, yes he did! But all that matters now is that Nakamura gets the three count! That has to be a major boost in confidence to every Progress member in the back right now!" Jim Ross: "MY hats off to Nakamura! He took a grade A ass whuppin there! That was one helluva effort from Hansen. What more can we say? He fell short in the end and put the UWF in a helluva bind!" Match Four: Shelton Benjamin vs "Gentleman" Chris Adams w/Gary Hart for the NWA World tv title Styles reminds the tv audience that Shelton is cashing in his Gold Rush contract here as Benjamin got a backslide for a two count early on followed by an armbar.

Jim Ross: "What kind of nonsense is this? Swerve Strickland had no business being involved in this match!" Joey Styles: "For once tonight I can agree with you JR! Bit despite the interference, it looked to me as if Shelton Benjamin was just seconds away from becoming the NWA World tv champion. That obviously didn't happen because of the disqualification. But what did happen is that's another win for Progress Wrestling! We are up 3 - 1! If we win another match, it's over..... the UWF will be out of business!"
