Big Hoss McGraw pinned Jack Splat with the Big Hoss Splash in 0:02:24.
Rating: -* 1/2

McGraw is a big, hairy-chested masked American wrestler and he squashed his appropriately-named fellow newcomer. Frank Gresham got a word with the winner. Gresham points out McGraw is the only masked wrestler currently in WCWF. Why does he need to hide his identity? McGraw launches into a long-winded, rambling explanation about something that happened years ago in Portland. When it becomes clear he's nowhere near getting to the point, Gresham quietly signals for a commercial.

Carl Stryker pinned Jerry Livingston with the Final Strike in 0:04:47.

Bulk Logan defeated Bobby Jackson by disqualification in 0:05:07.
Rating: -**

Jackson had a rough December thanks to Mean Massimo and his January didn't get off to a better start. Jackson put up a good fight, but became frustrated with Logan's cheating and stalling. Bobby grabbed his diamond-encrusted white glove, put it on, and decked the Bulkster in full view of the ref.

After the match, Frank Gresham interviewed the winner.
Logan: Let me tell you something, brother. People like Bobby Jackson aren't very smart. The Bulkster never gets frustrated by his opponent, brother, but if he did he would be smart enough to cheat without getting caught, brother.

Trump International (Isileli Kaelo, Kamu, and Taku) defeated Aidan Taylor, Alfie Johnson, and Andrew Davis when Kaelo pinned Alfie with the Kick of Fear in 0:03:03.
Rating: -1/4*

"Million Dollar" Stan Trump was at ringside as his goon squad easily decimated some enhancement talent. Trump gets the mic afterwards and says Samoan Storm will face The Southern Maulers at Wrestlemania...if the Maulers can survive until then!

Jake Blackheart made Jimmy Blast submit to a wristlock in 0:06:49.
Rating: ** 1/4
(Jake Blackheart won the WCWF United States Title.)

A stunning upset as Blackheart wins the US Title for the second time, having lost it just over a year ago in a famous match at Starrcade. Blackheart's new allies, J.C. Magnum and Veronica, were at ringside. When the match spilled outside, they distracted the ref. Blackheart slammed Blast's hand between the ringpost and steel stairs, causing the champ to cry out in pain. Back in the ring, Blackheart applied a simple wristlock that left Blast in excruciating pain and got the submission. As soon as Blackheart released the hold, Blast crumbled to the mat, clutching his injured appendage. The ref realized something was seriously wrong and signaled for medical attention. Blackheart, Magnum, and Veronica celebrated in the ring as the show went off the air.

Chris Reese pinned Cliff Maldano with the Bad Ending in 0:04:14.
Rating: * 3/4

Frank Gresham interviews Randy "The Ram" Robinson, WCWF World Heavyweight Champion. Who will Robinson be defending his title against this month and where? Robinson says we're approaching the one-year anniversary of him winning the title. The man he won it from has never gotten a rematch yet has remained one of the best wrestlers in WCWF. Next week The Ram will have a rematch against The Ayatollah and the title is on the line!

Rating: * 1/2
