The
rules are read out to the crowd once again, as well as the announcement
of Manipulator’s temporary retirement from the federation, which
gets applause out of respect for the superstar who is absent from
this match tonight. The music plays as the first entrant comes
out… and it’s Triple S! Triple S slides into the ring to a huge
pop, before his first opponent’s music plays, and it is revealed
to be Maurice Dream. Dream makes his way down and circles Sullivan,
awaiting Sullivan’s team-mate. ‘Bad Blood’ hits, and Bucky Thompson
enters, the MTX member unhappy at having to team with his adversary.
Finally the man who drew number four’s music plays… and again
its ‘Bad Blood’ as ‘Raw Deal’ Jay Hall is the fourth man, placing
him on the same team as long time rival Maurice Dream and against
his stable mate!
Superstar
Shane Sullivan and Bucky Thompson vs. Maurice Dream and ‘Raw Deal’
Jay Hall
The bell rings and instantly Thompson and Hall turn on their team-mates,
turning around and attacking them both! The pair choke their individual
targets out in the corners, until the referee threatens them with
disqualification. Having weakened Dream and Sullivan down, Thompson
and Hall stand in the ring together and go over to tag in their
individual team-mates. However, Dream and Sullivan roll off the
ring apron, forcing Jay and Bucky to go at it one on one for the
first time! The pair shout at the referee about it but he says
nothing can be done, and the pair begin to lock up to a pop from
the crowd. Thompson comes out on top, scoring a hammerlock and
a rear waist lock takedown, before rolling through into a release
German that dazes Jay. They lock up again, and this time Jay reverses
the hammerlock with a lucha headlock whip, before scoring an armbar
and flipping off the ropes into an arm drag. They then both exchange
hurancanranas before tagging out, Dream and Sullivan both unsuspecting
of this. The pair enter and both turn to argue with their team-mates,
only to be met with roundhouse kicks over the apron from both
Jay and Thompson. Sullivan goes stumbling back into Dream, only
for Dream to turn around and lock on the Sweet Dreams! Triple
S quickly taps to get eliminated, as the music of Cooper Tate
plays and the world champion enters to a big pop…

Cooper Tate and Bucky Thompson vs. Maurice Dream and ‘Raw Deal’
Jay Hall
Tate slides in and straight away gets beaten down by Dream and
Hall, but the two aren’t on the same page and Dream shoves Hall
away to get some shots in on Tate himself, leading to Thompson
rolling up Jay from behind for a long two count! Thompson and
Jay seem to have nominated themselves as the legal men as Bucky
hits a huge back drop suplex which he rolls into a blue thunder
bomb for a two count, before his attempted superkick is caught
and turned into a cross legged fisherman’s buster from Jay. Hall
then hits his middle turnbuckle moonsault for a two count, before
tagging Dream, who enters and drops a leg across Thompson. Bucky
seems to be in trouble as Dream hits him with a huge belly to
belly slam, before he and Jay combine to hit a nice fall back
powerbomb and face slam combination. The alliance doesn’t last
long again though, as Jay attacks Dream as he gets out of the
ring, only to be hit with a huge superkick from Thompson when
he turns around! Both men struggle to get the tag, but eventually
do so, Tate coming in burning like a house on fire, taking both
Dream and Jay down with discus punches, before hitting a huge
implant DDT on Dream. Tate then signals for his finisher, but
Dream elbows his way out, before locking on the Sweet Dreams again!
Tate struggles and refuses to tap, but Jay Hall superkicks him,
sending him backwards over Dream suplex style, Dream maintaining
a bridge. Jay sits on Tate’s legs so he can’t kick off, eliminating
the world champion! Dream knocks both Jay and Bucky down as the
next music plays, and out comes Daniel Estacado.
Daniel
‘The Devil’ Estacado and Bucky Thompson vs. Maurice Dream and
‘Raw Deal’ Jay Hall
Dream realises the numbers are against him as all three men start
beating on him, despite Jay being his team mate in this match.
As Daniel and Bucky stomp on him in the corner, Jay goes under
the ring and pulls out a table. He sets this up in the ring and
lies Dream on it, the referee unable to do anything as they’re
on the same team. Dream struggles but Dream and Thompson hold
him down as Jay heads up top and nails a middle rope moonsault
through it, before posing to huge heat. However, out of nowhere
Estacado grabs him from behind and rolls him up, pulling the tights
for the three! The crowd go crazy as Jay looks in disgust at the
man that they’ve been teaming with recently, but Estacado just
reminds him its every man for himself as ‘Anarchist’ Mike Anderson
enters as the last man in the match…

‘The Devil’ Estacado and Bucky Thompson vs. Maurice Dream and
‘Anarchist’ Mike Anderson
Estacado and Anderson start things out with some chain wrestling,
but this is soon halted as Estacado slaps the taste out of Anderson’s
mouth, resulting in the ex-hardcore champion going crazy and clotheslining
him out of the ring to the floor. Thompson and Dream then enter
but the same result occurs as it turns into a full scale brawl
on the outside. Dream sends Thompson into the ring post as Estacado
does the same to Anderson on the other side, before the pair slide
into the ring and start to hammer away at each other with punches.
Estacado gets the upper hand until Dream catches one and locks
on the Sweet Dreams! However, Estacado escapes with a twisting
jawbreaker, before locking on his Darkness submission. Dream looks
ready to tap but it is broken up by Mike Anderson, who flies in
with an elbow drop to Estacado before lifting him up and trying
for the Anarchy Rulez. Estacado reverses the move but gets caught
with the Overthrow, which gets a long 2! Anderson then scoops
him up and drops him with the Triumphant Hammer, again getting
a long two, but it is broken up by Thompson, entering with his
Punchline frogsplash! This gets a 2.9 until Dream just manages
to push Thompson off the cover, before kicking him in the gut
and nailing the Wake Up Call! Before he has chance to celebrate
however, a dazed Estacado hits him with the Final Destination
before collapsing in the ring, still hurt from Anderson’s earlier
attacks. All four men are down as Dream and Estacado are the first
to stand, the pair both striking each other with lariats, but
neither man falling. Out of nowhere however Jay Hall and Frankie
Manns come jogging back down to the ring, Manns leaping up on
the apron and distracting the referee. Hall slides in and tells
Estacado to duck, which he does as Jay flies into Dream with a
heel kick, before pulling Estacado on top. The referee makes the
count but Dream kicks out at 2.9, before rolling out of the ring
where Manns starts to attack him, distracting the referee. This
lets Jay Hall re-enter as a now standing Anderson slowly brings
Thompson to his feet for the Anarchy Rulez, but gets caught from
behind by a Jay dropkick. Jay then scoops him up, signalling for
his brainbuster, but Anderson kicks him low to a huge pop, before
setting him up for a powerbomb. All of a sudden a man in a black
MTX hooded top sprints through the crowd to the ring and strikes
Anderson with a chair, before dropping him with a powerbomb into
an ace crusher! Jay and Thompson start beating on Anderson as
the man reveals his hood… its Shawn ‘Hotstuff’ Hernandez! The
three carry on the onslaught as Manns and Estacado bring Dream
into the ring as well, the referee calling for a disqualification
victory for the pair of Anderson and Dream. Dream and Anderson
both eat finishers from various people before Estacado heads off
backstage after Cooper Tate ahead of Sunday. The MTX stand in
the ring over Dream and Anderson as the show goes off the air,
the group finally overwhelming their rivals who have been getting
the advantage over them in recent weeks!
