1) Armand Rougeau pinned Billy Anderson at 13:32 with a double hand lock up into a Northern Lights suplex to end a scientific contest between both men. This one went back-and-forth with a lot of holds and counter holds until Rougeau was finally able to pull out the win. Both men shook hands after the contest.
2) Jerry Oske pinned Tommy Wright at 9:27 following a shoulder breaker. This was another catch-as-catch-can type of match with both men going at it at a really fast pace as Wright tried to 'out quick' his more muscular opponent, but Oske always keeps himself in top shape and wasn't going to get winded. Wright avoided Oske's power for a good portion of the contest, but eventually Tommy got caught with a couple of powerful moves and that spelled defeat for the youngster.
3) Magnum Force: Dave Peterson & Scott Hall defeated Rene Goulet & Duke Myers at 17:10 when Hall pinned Goulet following a flying double shoulder tackle by both Force members. This was a standard tag team match with the veterans controlling a good portion of the match while Peterson struggled to try and make the hot tag to Hall. A portion of the 'fans' seem to be getting behind the new duo or Hall and Peterson and there was good reaction by the crowd when Peterson was finally able to battle his way to the corner to tag in Hall and set up the finish.

4) George Wells pinned 'Wildman' Jack Armstrong at 8:37 following a flying shoulder tackle from the second rope. This was a hard-hitting contest with Armstrong and Wells both giving as good as they got. Once again, Armstrong seemed to have control of much of the contest, but simply could not put his opponent away as Wells mounted a comeback to gain victory.
5) Jacques Rougeau pinned Scott McGhee at 15:01 following a swinging neckbreaker after McGhee ducked too soon for a back body drop after sending Jacques into the ropes. Both men were fairly evenly matched in this contest and both followed the rules in what turned out to be a very technical wrestling display.
6) Davey Boy Smith & Jos LeDuc battled Bret Hart & Harley Race to a 45 minute time limit draw. This was a mix-and-match tag team main event featuring two of the biggest rivalries in the young existence of 'Wild West', but it really brought out the best in all four men. There was brawling and bloodshed between Race and LeDuc and some technical excellence from Smith and Hart, but, in the end, it was how Smith did in the ring with the former World's Champion Race that really stood out. Davey Boy gave as good as he got with Harley and even hit the running power slam on the former champion just before the forty minute mark, but could not get the fall when Hart made his way into the ring and broke up the cover. Things ended unsettled, a few moments later as the duration of the time limit expired.
