Afrikka
vs. Tony Balboa
Afrikka enters first to a mixed reaction, followed by rookie Tony Balboa,
who gets some light applause. Balboa cautiously enters and straight away
ducks a lariat and dropkicks Afrikka's knee, taking him down to one knee.
Balboa then starts punching Afrikka, backing him into the corner, before
climbing up and punching away. However, Afrikka shakes this off and grabs
Balboa in a bearhug, before carrying him out of the corner and tossing him
into the other corner. Afrikka then follows in with an avalanche, before
charging again with a hip attack. Balboa slowly stumbles out right into
a chokeslam from Afrikka, who then comes off the ropes and drops a huge
leg drop on Balboa to a pop from the crowd. Afrikka then signals for the
end as he bounces back off the ropes again and goes for a big splash, but
Balboa rolls out of the way before nailing a sunset flip. However, as he
comes down, Afrikka just sits down on his chest, pinning Balboa for the
three to a big pop!
Winner: Afrikka

Jackson enters first to a big pop, followed by Fujita who also draws a big
crowd reaction. Hall enters next to big heat, before the Junior Heavyweight

as Fujita and Jackson instantly jump out with stereo tope con hilos, before
dropping Manns with a dropkick to the knee/lariat combo on the outside.
Jackson rolls Hall into the ring and take shim out with a pair of arm drags,
before nailing him with a standing dropkick. Jackson then sends Hall into
the ropes, but he reverses and catches Jackson with a huge tilt a whirl
slam, before trying for a second. However, this time Jackson reverses into
a flying head scissors, before charging at Hall and clotheslining him to
the outside. Jackson bounces off the ropes ready to charge out, but Manns
trips him up. However, this allows Fujita to capitalise, as she goes up
top and flies out with a body press to her mentor before rolling him back
in for Jackson, who covers for a two count. Jackson then delivers a big
back drop suplex, before hopping out and coming back in with a slingshot
senton for a two count, before trying for another back drop suplex. Hall
flips out, and pushes Jackson into Fujita, before catching him with a huge
hurancanrana as he comes back. Hall then picks up Jackson and drops him
with a liger bomb for a two count, before tagging in Manns, who enters with
a huge springboard splash for a two count. Manns then sends Jackson into
the ropes and nails a powerslam, before hitting a standing senton for a
two count. Manns then scoops up Jackson on his shoulders and Hall enters
with a tornado DDT on him, getting a 2.9 count. Hall then goes for an Irish
whip on Jackson but The Comedian reverses it, only to reverse it again into
a lariat which Jackson ducks, but Hall manages to hit a mule kick low blow,
before trying for his Depth Charge. Hall nails it but can only manage a
2.9! Hall seems irate and brings Jackson to the corner, signalling for a
top rope Tornado DDT. However, mid air Jackson counters into a spinebuster,
both men going down! The pair slowly walk over to make the tags, both tagging
at the same time. Fujita enters with a huge springboard front dropkick to
Manns, before taking out Hall's knee with a low dropkick. Manns grabs her
from behind and tries for a German suplex, but she flips out and pushes
him into Hall, before Jackson grabs Manns and sends him into the corner.
Fujita runs in and hits a pair of kicks to Manns, before killing him with
a shotei which sends him slumping in the corner! Fujita then charges in

from Hall. Manns then shakes off his injury and heads up top, hitting the
senton atomico, but Jackson saves at 2! Manns then sits Fujita up top, trying
for his Michinoku Driver 2 off the middle rope, but Jackson whips Hall into
him, causing a low blow, before sitting Manns up top with Fujita. Fujita
flips off, hitting a huge top rope sunset flip for 2! Fujita then signals
for the end and hops out of the ring, before flying back in with the Candycanrana,
but Hall saves at 2. Hall and Manns then try for a spike piledriver, but
Jackson bounces into the ropes, crotching Manns up top, before superkicking
Hall down. Fujita then hops up top and nails Manns with a hurancanrana down
onto Hall, before covering Hall for the 3! After the match Hall gets up
in Manns' face for their loss but Manns knocks him down with a stiff punch

Manipulator
vs. Vince Graham
Graham enters first to a fairly big pop before Manipulator enters to some
heat. Manipulator jumps Graham before the bell, nailing him with some forearms
from behind before dumping him through the ropes to the floor. Manipulator
climbs out onto the apron and drops off with an axe handle before ramming
Graham into the ring steps, the man once known as Steel flipping over them
onto the floor. Manipulator then sends him into the barricade before charging
for a lariat into it, only for Graham to move, sending Manipulator over
into the crowd. Graham follows him in and executes a suplex on the concrete,
before throwing him back over the barricade to ringside and following over
with a lariat off the barricade! Graham then rolls Manipulator into the
ring and covers for two, before picking up Manipulator and dropping him
with a big suplex into a running powerslam for another two count. Graham
seems to be getting slightly annoyed as he locks an elevated camel clutch,
controlling Manipulator. Manipulator struggles to the ropes and eventually
manages to grab a hold, forcing Graham to break the move. Graham goes right
away for a rear waistlock, but Manipulator hits a mule kick low bow to huge
heat, but basks in the attention, raising his arms in celebration before
placing a dropkick right in the fallen Vince Graham's face! Manipulator
covers but breaks the hold himself at 2, and sends Graham into the corner
before following in with a shoulder to the midsection, then following this
with a monkey flip out. Graham slowly gets to his feet but Manipulator grabs
him from behind and tries a German suplex. Graham refuses to go over, so
Manipulator plants some forearms on his back before launching him over with
a huge release German suplex, dropping Graham right on his head! Manipulator
capitalises on this killer move with the Descent From Hell, seemingly getting
the win out of nowhere! Manipulator poses in the corner to huge heat, having
made it 2 from 2 since his return. Winner: Manipulator

DQ: 'Raw
Deal' Jay Hall, Triple S and Mike Anderson vs. Venom, Tank and Hannibal
King
The heel team enter first to huge heat before Triple S' theme 'Guerrilla
Radio' by Rage Against The Machine hits and Triple S, Anderson and Jay enter
to a big pop. Straight away the faces go to attack Venom and co, but the
Legends' Alliance spill to the outside and grab themselves chairs, trying
to strike their opponents every time they go to the ropes to try and follow
them out. After a short stand off Venom slides in and drops his chair, cueing
Jay to enter as well, but as they go to lock up King and Tank slide in too
and start to beat on Jay with the chairs! Anderson and Triple S cut him
off but the damage has been done, Venom with the upper hand on Jay. Venom
nails a back breaker then tags in Tank who comes in and nails a huge lariat
before scooping Jay up and hitting a huge spinebuster for a two count. Tank
then goes for a leg drop but Jay rolls out of the way and tags in Anderson,
but instead of just Anderson entering, it instigates a huge brawl as Triple
S, King and Venom all enter too! Anderson nails Venom and King with big
lariats before dropkicking down Tank as Triple S and Jay start to put the
boots to King and Venom. All hell has broken loose as Triple S and Jay drop
Venom with a double suplex only for King to hit Jay from behind with a back
drop pin onto one of the chairs for a two count! Meanwhile Tank begins to
come back against Anderson and sends him to the outside whilst Venom is
taken down by Triple S with the Star Gazer, only for King to break it up
at 2! Jay sets up a chair and charges, springing off it onto King just after
this, before he sends Venom into the corner and launches Triple S flapjack
style onto him. Triple S covers for two but Tank pulls the referee out under
the bottom rope only to get hit with a baseball slide from Jay! Jay goes
for a second but Tank pulls Anderson in front of him, before returning to
the ring and big booting Jay, who had just picked up a chair, therefore
the chair crashes into his face! Tank covers for a long two count but Triple
S breaks it up only to be tossed to the outside, leaving the three Legends
with Jay. Venom goes for the Venom Drop but Jay escapes, only to walk into
king, who kicks him in the stomach before hitting a big sit out powerbomb.
Tank goes to the outside to work on Triple S and Anderson as King and Venom
deliver a double powerbomb on Jay onto some chairs for a two count. The
Legends then slide out and grab a table from under the ring, before setting
it up in the ring and putting Jay on it. Venom goes up top, signalling for
a flying elbow, but Triple S just recovers in time to crotch him up top,
before trying for a superplex through the table! However, King pulls the
table out of the way, before trying a suplex himself on Jay through it,
but Jay rolls off and down into a victory roll for a two count. Anderson
returns to the fray, having finally managed to put Tank down on the outside,
and Jay and Anderson try for a double flapjack through the table on King,
but Venom delivers a dropkick to the legs of the table, collapsing it before
King can go through! Venom then knocks Anderson down and sits Jay up top,
before setting up the table and going for a superplex through the table.
However, Jay blocks it and nails a top rope front suplex through the table!
Jay then goes for a flying crossbody on King who is just standing, but King
ducks and Jay wipes out Anderson again. Jay looks in surprise at what he's
done as King grabs him from behind and delivers a German suplex hold for
a 2.9, Triple S saving! Tank gets back into the ring and halts Triple S'
assault, only Triple S, king and Tank standing, the two heels hitting a
double team fisherman's buster for a two count, before King body slams Triple
S and Tank goes up top! However, Jay and Anderson manage to get up and hit
a double dropkick to King's knee, before bouncing off the ropes to crotch
Tank! Triple S recovers and hits an iconoclasm on Tank off the top, before
covering for the three in a match which in the end was nothing more than
a crazy all out brawl, the MTX and their allies finally getting the upper
hand on the Legends once and for all!
Winners: Jay Hall, Triple S and Mike Anderson
After
the match: Backstage, following the match, Mike Anderson and
Triple S continue their hot streak, going after The Psychotics in their
own locker room! The pair are wearing 'Minnesota Wrecking Crew' T-shirts,
finally naming their team. After beating on Lil J and Crazy C using whatever
they can find, the two are dragged away by Jay Hall, who tells them enough
is enough. The Minnesota Wrecking Crew look quite surprised, but decide
Jay must still be rueing his earlier mistakes in the tag match and leave.
Cage
Match: Bucky Thompson vs. Daniel Estacado
Thompson enters first to a huge pop, followed by Daniel Estacado who gains
a lot of heat. Daniel enters and straight away the two go at it, Estacado
kicking Thompson in the stomach and sending him into the cage, before hitting
him with a back drop suplex as he bounces back. Thompson kicks out at two
and the two lock up again, Thompson getting put in an arm lock. Thompson
locks to find a way out of the move, but doesn't seem to bothered by it,
instead just grabbing the ropes to force the break. The two lock up again,
and this time Thompson comes out on top, rolling around Estacado and dropping
him with a reverse DDT before covering lightly for a two count. Thompson
then nails a hurancanrana, but chooses not to cover, instead locking on
a side headlock on the mat. Thompson seems to be buying himself some time
for something, as he transitions into a backmounted sleeper hold, choking
Estacado out. Estacado starts to power up out of the move but Thompson drags
him down backwards into a sleeper with scissors. As he does this all of
a sudden Jay Hall starts to make his way out from backstage, a chain and
baseball bat in hand! The crowd pop for this, Jay sliding into the ring
and locking the door behind him with a padlock. Estacado seems surprised
as Thompson starts to laugh, as this seems to be what he was buying time
for. The pair back Estacado into a corner and go to charge at him but Estacado
slides past them, before nailing Jay down with a right and kicking Thompson
in the stomach for the Final Destination! However, Jay fires back up and
takes Estacado out from behind with a clothesline. The pair then push Estacado
into the corner and start to stamp away on him, both kicking harder with
every strike. Thompson then picks up Estacado and runs him into the cage
as Jay takes the referee out with the baseball bat. Jay then takes a turn
at sending Estacado into the cage, before the two send him into the ropes
and flapjack him back into the steel, busting him wide open. They then let
Estacado slowly get back up, only for Jay to strike him right across the
head with the baseball bat! Jay then holds Estacado for Thompson to superkick,
before picking him back up and delivering his brainbuster, modifying it
slightly to drop Estacado elevated DDT style. Thompson then heads up and
nails his Punchline splash, before Jay mounts Estacado and nails him with
some stiff punches. Thompson goes to leave, the damage having been done,
but Jay stops him before he goes, showing him the chain he had brought with
him. Thompson again turns to leave but Jay drags him back in, and chains
Estacado to the cage, the pair then taking it in turns to boot away at him.
Finally, Jay grabs the baseball bat again and cracks Estacado a couple more
times, his face now a bloody mess. The pair then leave to a big pop, although
the crowd seem a bit surprised at their actions, the conclusion seemingly
that Jay took out his frustrations from earlier by showing Estacado that
he shouldn't mess with the MTX!
Winner: No contest
