EDDIE
MANDO
CHAVO . . . . . . . THE GUERERRO BROTHERS!!!!!
CHAVO +MANDO + EDDIE GUERERRO V DR. D DAVID SCHULTZ + RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE + THE AMAZING MALENKO w/Paul Jones
The Russians are very aggressive at the beginning but the fans delight as the lightning quick movements of the Guererros outsmart the Russians, who seem to be playing nice with Dr D. Eventually they isolate Eddie and play keep away v the other Guererros with him and it looks like they are going to score a pinfall when . . . . WE HAVE TO GO TO A BREAK!
