1) The Masked Superstar defeated Stomper Jr. at 7:08 by making the rookie submit to the dreaded cobra hold.

2) The Dirty White Boy pinned Rufus R. Jones at 6:53 with the spinning neck-breaker.

3) Sweet Sensation: Stan Lane & Shawn Michaels defeated The Bruise Brothers: Troy Graham & Porkchop Cash by disqualification at 12:45 when Porkchop Cash was caught by the referee pulling off his boot and bashing Shawn Michaels over the head with it.

4) The Mongolian Stomper pinned Phil Hickerson at 10:01 with a running boot to the chest.

INTERMISSION

5) "Wildfire" Tommy Rich and Billy Joe Travis defeated Rick Rude (w/ Jimmy Hart & Big Bubba Rogers) and Kendell Windham at 14:06 when Rich connected with the Lou Thesz Press on Kendell Windham for the win. Rude and Bubba attacked Rich and Travis after the match, with Big Bubba laying out both Travis and Rich with Bubba Slams.

6) The Rock n' Roll Express: Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson and Ricky Gibson defeated Southern Tag Team Champions Hotstuff International: Eddie Gilbert & Rick Steiner and Tommy Gilbert at 19:12 when Ricky Morton came off the top rope with a sunset flip on Eddie Gilbert to score the pin-fall victory.

7) Jerry "The King" Lawler, "Superstar" Bill Dundee and Dutch Mantell defeated The Devil's Triangle: Jake "The Snake" Roberts, One Man Gang & Adrian Street (w/ Miss Linda) at 20:44 when Lawler came off the top rope with a flying fist drop off the top rope. The big moment saw Adrian Street go for a running clothesline on Dundee, but the Superstar moved and then Adrian accidentally drilled The Snake. Roberts then refused to tag Street in later in the match and simply watched as Lawler finished off Adrian.

Well, it will be interesting to see what Street does now. We may see just how real tough Street is. Kinda surprised that Eddie was pinned. Thought Daddy Tommy would have been pinned. Big Bubba laying out Rich and Travis was awesome. Hoping for a Superstar/Stomper program. Lane and Michaels continue their roll.

Nice switcheroo in the 6 man. Like Doc said, was fully expecting Tommy or Ricky Gibson to take the fall, much like Kendall did in the tag bout, so that was a nice change of pace and really keeps the RnR's firmly in that #1 Contender spot. They'd lost a rematch and not only are the Sensations on a roll, but the Nitemares have been winning, so there is quite a bit of competition for title shots. Good strategy there. Really enjoyed the main event as well. I love the Memphis Three and certainly an interesting development between Street and Snake. Would LOVE to see a CWA Title Match between those two! Good stuff here Justin.

Peace

Two 6-man tag matches at the top of the card?!?! It doesn't get any better than that! I really like the mix of talent you've got in Memphis, you've got the perfect blend of older guys that the fans still love, and plenty of younger guys moving into the top spots.

I LOVE the Shawn Michaels / Stan Lane team, I would never have thought of teaming them, but seeing it now, they're such a natural fit as a team. Good job!

I agree with Doc, that a Masked Superstar - Stomper feud would be a lot of fun.

That main event was amazing, the fans definitely would've got their money's worth with that one match alone.
