Number-One-Contenders-Match:
Eddie Bearden pinned Bruiser Barton with the Bad Attitude in 0:07:37.
Rating: ** 3/4
[Stan Trump interfered against Bruiser Barton.]

This match was to determine who would face Randy "The Ram" Robinson at the upcoming MSG Show. "Million Dollar" Stan Trump came to ringside during the match. When the referee wasn't looking he slipped something to Eddie Bearden. Trump then drew the referee's attention, allowing Bearden to punch Barton in the face. The big Texas brawler toppled, clearly knocked out. Bearden then quickly disposed of the foreign object: brass knuckles! The damage done, Trump ended his distraction. Bearden probably could have won it right then and their, but he felt the need to add his double underhook facebuster finisher. Perhaps to add injury to injury more than anything? Million Dollar Stan led out one of his signature maniacal laughs and smiled smuggly on his way to the back.

Frank Gresham gets a word with "Million Dollar" Stan Trump and "The Tongan Terror" Isileli Kaelo. Why cost Barton the match? Trump says he's made an investment in The Tongan Terror. There will be a street fight at Starrcade and those brass knuckles were to protect that investment. What about Bearden? Is he another "investment"? Stan says a deal was struck, but is coy about the details.

Frank Gresham interviews Randy Robinson. What does he make of the events earlier tonight? Robinson thought Bearden was a respectable wrestler until he resorted to such blantantly illegal tactics. If you want to beat the man, you need to be a man. It takes more than brass knuckles to be world champion. Out of nowhere, Eddie Bearden nails Randy Robinson with the Ghetto Blaster, dropping the world champion to the floor! "Randy, you think you so tough. You wouldn't last five minutes in Harlem." Robinson starts to get back up, but Bearden picks up the WCWF World Title and delivers a belt shot to The Ram's head then another. Bearden stomps on the fallen Robinson. "When you steppin' into the Garden, you steppin' onto my home turf. Consider this a taste of the whoopin' coming your way! I'm big, I'm bad, and you're ****ed!" Bearden holds up the championship for the camera then throws it down on Robinson and walks off.

Rick Samson and Mean Massimo battled to a draw in 0:10:00.
Rating: *** 1/4
(Rick Samson retained the WCWF TV Title.)

When the time limit expired, Samson offered a handshake to Massimo. He took it, but only after some hesitation. The challenger's frustration was clear on his face and in his body language.

AC-DC (Angus Clark and Duncan Clark) defeated The Executioners (Skull and Crossbones) when Angus pinned Skull after the High Voltage in 0:12:17.
Rating: 3/4*

The brothers Clark had some trouble wearing down their opponents, but the end was impressive. Duncan managed to lift Skull onto his shoulders - no easy feat since the masked man weights well over 300 lbs! Angus was waiting and hit a springboard clothesline the moment Skull was hoisted up. Pretty good finisher, especially under the circumstances.

Chris Reese pinned Black Belt Douglas after a choke slam in 0:04:03.
Rating: 1/2*
(Chris Reese retained the WCWF United States Title.)

Frank Gresham interviews Bruiser Barton about last week's events. Barton promises pain for Bearden, Trump, and Kaelo. Don't mess with Texas!

Carl Stryker pinned Markus Von Krupp with the Final Strike in 0:05:21.
Rating: -**

Brett Hale and Baron Von Kaiser seconded their tag partners for this match. With this win, combined with being on the victorious side of War Games at Fall Brawl, Stryker demanded a shot at the tag titles.

[Veronica interfered against Rick Samson.]

Magnum came very close to winning the title after clocking Samson with Veronica's loaded purse. The champ just barely kicked out.

Rating: DUD

Frank Gresham interviews "Strongman" Rick Samson about his TV Title reign. Samson admits it's tough defending the title ever week. He's faced some strong challengers and needs to step up his performance if he's going to remain champion. Last week was an especially tough. J. C. Magnum may be one of the smallest wrestlers in WCWF, but he's cunning. He also had a clear advantage in speed and cardio. Mean Massimo walks onto the interview set and declares he gave Samson his toughest challenge yet. Magnum got a near fall off a loaded purse; Massimo hit a reverse splash off the second rope that nearly did the deal. Samson keeps getting saved by the bell. Mean Massimo demands a rematch tonight, and Samson agrees.

WCWF TV Title Match: Mean Massimo vs "Strongman" Rick Samson (c)

Perhaps stung by Massimo's words earlier, Samson came out firing. He got a series of two-counts off a powerslam, a spinebuster, and the Body Crush. Massimo ducked a clothesline and came back with a knee strike to take control. Massimo got a series of two counts of his own with a capture suplex, a belly-to-belly suplex, and the Pizza Toss (slingshot splash). Massimo tried a brainbuster, but Samson small packaged him for two. Samson went for the Body Vice, but Massimo slipped down his back...and promptly delivered a backwack kick between Samson's legs! Down went the champ and Massimo went for the cover...but the ref refused to count! Instead he admonished Massimo for the low blow. Massimo got in the ref's face and shoved him. The ref called for the bell!

(Rick Samson retained the WCWF TV Title.)

Massimo couldn't believe it. And at that moment his frustration boiled over. He flipped the referee a double bird then nailed him with a belly-to-belly suplex onto Samson!. Shoving the referee aside, Massimo delivered a Pasta Buster to Samson, then dragged the champ over to the corner and delivered a reverse splash off the second rope - the move that nearly won him the title two weeks ago. Officials came out to bring a stop to this. Massimo exited the ring to the booing crowd and responded with more obscene gestures that had to be blurred on TBS. He took a few steps as if to leave then stopped. He looked back at Samson in the ring. Shoving aside the officials that were trying to get him to leave, he grabbed a steel chair from ringside. Swinging it wildly to clear a path, Massimo and slid back into the ring. Samson was pulling himself up to his feet with the ropes. CRACK! Samson crumpled to the mat from a chairshot to the head. Massiimo delivered more chairshots to the fallen Strongman. The officials started to get into the ring, only to be driven back by Massimo. He finally dropped the chair, only to grab Samson and deliver a Pasta Buster onto the chair! Now wrestlers were coming to the ring including Randy Robinson and Bruiser Barton. Massimo finally exited the ring, having vented his frustrations in one of the most violent incidents in WCWF history. The show ended with Massimo walking away in disgust while Rick Samson and the referee were attended to in the ring.
