River City Wrestling #848 September 2, 2000 Youngstown, Ohio
Dark Matches Before RAGE
Opening Bout Vincent Regliatti (/w Vic Gate) defeated Rawhide Kid by submission to the sleeperhold at 9:12 **Gate kept Regs on the straight and narrow and treated it more like a workout than an actual match. Regs seemed mad that he was being put through his paces but put up with it. But after the bout when Gate tried to get him to stick around for a few pointers he had enough and walked out.
Bout #2 Al Hardamann defeated William Butler Yeats by pinfall after a vertebreaker at 6:32 **solid win for Hardamann
Bout #3 Tiger Khan & Lord Zoltan defeated Canadian Outlaws: Adam Knight & Darren Dalton by pinfall when Zoltan pinned Dalton after a top rope elbowdrop at 10:35 **Zoltan enjoyed teaming with Khan so much last week they came back for an encore. Still no sign of Manny Silva.
Bout #4 Stacey Lynn & Chris Lydon defeated Christi Wolf & Sheona Stewart by pinfall when Lynn pinned Stewart after a fallaway slam at 7:59 **Stewart was the weak link in the bout. Wolf though served notice to her opponents that she was a force to be reckoned with by tossing them both out of the ring after the bout.
Bout #5 Shane Madison defeated Chris Parys by pinfall after an Ace crusher at 9:04 **match could have gone either way but after a spirited affair Madison proved the better man tonight. After the bout DiCaprio and Damon came out to celebrate with Madison but be seemed to be more interested in showing them that he won on his own.
RCW Rage - One Hour Episode
Bout #6 North American Women's Title Match Jessica Judd defeated TrummerFrauen by pinfall after outside interference at 8:53 [Jessica Judd won the North American Women's Title] **a shocker for sure but it took some work. Sure JJ had her moments, using a stick and run attack but still it was fighting uphill and a title change did not look in the works. But Becky Swallows came out and grabbed the guitar. Judd left the ring to struggle with Becky over the guitar. In the meantime, with the ref distracted Christi Wolf came out, slid in the ring with a steel chair and ~waffled~ the big champion from behind. Judd and Becky promptly quit struggling and Judd rolled into the ring and won the belt. Wolf and Becky just nodded at her and left, they did not stick around.
Bout #7 RCW Television Title Match Stan Baker defeated Wavell Starr by pinfall after a heart punch at 7:02 [Stan Baker retained the RCW Television Title] **Starr put up a decent fight in this return bout but Baker has had quite an impressive run as TV champion beating all comers.
Main Event RCW Heavyweight Title Match Sam Holiday defeated Derrick Darkstorm by pinfall after a top rope legdrop at 10:38 [Sam Holiday retained the RCW Heavyweight Title] **with Vampiro vanquished and a battle royale on the horizon for next week to determine a new #1 contender, the promoters brought in for another match the Central States Heavyweight champion who we have seen before. Long and lanky he fights an odd style of getting in close and keeping his opponent close but upright. Holiday found it hard to get space but once he did he managed to come up with the victory. The CSW title was not on the line this week, but it will be next week when Holiday travels to Topeka Kansas to once again take on Darkstorm in a CSW event.

River City Wrestling #849 September 9, 2000 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Dark Matches Before RAGE
Tonight's Rage will be a complete 28-man Battle Draw with the winner becoming the #1 contender for the Heavyweight title, and getting a title shot next week. There will be two groupings, A & B. The B's will be drawn first, once they are done the A's will be drawn. Draws are random of course. One new wrestler will join the Battle every minute. In order to qualify as an "A" you must win your random tag match in tonight's dark matches. These tag matches have been set by Commissioner Greg Gagne based partially on fan input on the RCW Official Message Board.
Of note not competing tonight are; Heavyweight champ Sam Holiday (he is in Topeka Kansas wrestling CSW champion Derrick Darkstorm), Vincent Regliatti (trainer Vic Gate has pulled his man from this competition so he can focus on his singles training), and Manny Silva (no one has heard from him in several weeks).
Opening Bout Dick Raines & Richard Pound defeated William Yeats & Stan Saxon by pinfall when Pound pinned Yeats after a stuffed piledriver at 6:49 **Yeats has kind of been an ally and friend to Raines/Pound but had to put that aside tonight.
Bout #2 Squeegee Kid & Zakk Wylde defeated Rawhide Kid & Gene Swan by disqualification for use of a foreign object at 5:10 **premiere of Gene Swan, a veteran Native Canadian 6'0 225. Swan and Rawhide could not keep up with the speed of their challengers and both decided to return to the ring with chairs and lay out their opponents. So they may have lost but they weakened Squeegee and Wylde for the Battle Draw.
Bout #3 Canadian Outlaws: Adam Knight & Darren Dalton defeated Matt Fairlane & Ryan Price by pinfall when Dalton pinned Fairlane after a powerbomb at 8:20 **filler
Bout #4 Scotty Anton & Greg Pawluk defeated Wavell Starr & Eddie Mustang by submission when Anton submitted Mustang to the sharpshooter at 10:43 **premiere of Scotty Anton (aka Scotty Riggs), and the best bout of the night so far with two baby faced teams squaring off. It wasn't really apparent though whether Anton was wrestling as a face, maybe more of a tweener with a big ego. Anton didn't celebrate with his partner after the bout, just raising his own hand in the air and then leaving the ring.
Bout #5 Shane Madison & Chris Parys defeated Will Damon & Donnie DiCaprio by pinfall when Parys pinned DiCaprio after a Parysault at 11:05 **another very good match between four young skilled workers. The story here of course is the slow breakaway of Madison from the Players Club. Damon and DiCaprio tried to get him to take a dive, or to allow them to double team Parys, but he would have none of it, insisting on a fair fight. After the bout more heated words were exchanged between PC teammates but nothing physical.
Bout #6 Spinebusters: Jerry Orth & Bryan Caruthers defeated Al Hardamann & Stan Baker by pinfall when Caruthers pinned Hardamann after a spinebuster slam at 9:10 **the former tag champs came out on top, but were pushed heavily by the duo of Baker and Hardamann who do not like each other to say the least. Only a higher seating in the Battle Draw kept the two from tearing each other apart. In the end while they did not turn on each other, they also didn't really help each other enough, as the Spinebusters were the better "team". After the bout though Baker and Hardamann got into a slug fest which was broken up by RCW officials but not until they had weakened each other further.
Bout #7 Non-Title Match Tiger Khan & Lord Zoltan defeated Kurrgan & Balls Mahoney by disqualification when Mahoney hit Zoltan with a steel chair at 10:03 **tag titles not on the line by Giant Balls. The match starts with some stalling and then the bad guys cheat, double team, and cheat more. They risk DQ throughout the bout but manage to just straddle that line. Finally Balls has had enough and loses it. He throws Zoltan out of the ring, grabs a steel chair and just starts to hammer on him with multiple chair shots. Zoltan does a stretcher job and its unsure whether he will be able to answer the bell for the Battle Draw.
RCW RAGE - One Hour Episode
Main Event #1 Contender - 28 Man Battle Draw 0:00 Al Hardamann 0:00 Stan Baker **this starts the event off with some serious fireworks as the "random" draw does not let us down. 1:00 Rawhide Kid 1:36 Rawhide Kid eliminated by Hardamann, Baker 2:00 Gene Swan 2:19 Gene Swan eliminated by Hardamann, Baker 3:00 Will Damon 4:00 Kurrgan **the next two draws did not work well as Hardamann and Baker temporarily teamed up to eliminate the interlopers so they could then battle each other again. They tried the same thing with Damon but he managed to hang on long enough for the next draw. Kurrgan drew in and that changed the dynamic to an everyman for himself battle. 5:00 Wavell Starr **the Native Son goes right at Damon 6:00 Stan Saxon 7:00 Eddie Mustang **seven men in the ring now and some serious fireworks 8:00 William Butler Yeats 8:11 Will Damon eliminated by Starr, Mustang 8:38 Stan Saxon eliminated by Kurrgan 9:00 Matt Fairlane 9:03 William Butler Yeats eliminated by Kurrgan 9:44 Matt Fairlane eliminated by Kurrgan 10:00 Balls Mahoney **as if Kurrgan wasn't dominating enough, having turned his attention to attacking Mustang and Starr while Hardamann and Baker were still fighting each other, his tag partner gets drawn in. But to everyone's surprise it's everyman for himself, as Mahoney attacks Kurrgan, and the two Native Sons also find themselves square off. 11:00 Ryan Price 11:35 Ryan Price eliminated by Mustang, Starr 12:00 Donnie DiCaprio 13:00 Chris Parys 14:00 Zakk Wylde **the ring is filling up again, as we now have 9 competitors. DiCaprio and Parys are going at each other with some serious heat, and strangely Hardamann and Baker find themselves forced to team up to defend against Kurrgan and Mahoney. But finally Hardamann turns on Baker, and helps eliminate him; only to have the tag champs turn on him. Baker hadn't been able to leave the ringside area yet so he and Hardamann brawled outside the ring after their eliminations as well. Longest run competitor is now Kurrgan who entered at the 4 minute mark. 14:25 Stan Baker eliminated by Kurrgan, Mahoney, Hardamann 14:33 Al Hardamann eliminated by Kurrgan, Mahoney 15:00 Bryan Caruthers 16:00 Greg Pawluk 16:01 Zakk Wylde eliminated by Mustang 17:00 Dick Raines 18:00 Tiger Khan 18:23 Eddie Mustang eliminated by Khan, Raines 19:00 Jerry Orth **we now had 10 competitors in the ring, and the Spinebusters just drew in together 19:56 Wavell Starr eliminated by Orth, Caruthers 20:00 Scotty Anton **Anton drew a nice ovation, but he went over and attacked his partner from earlier in the night and threw him over the top rope. Then we had our first big surprise moment when Spinebusters teamed up to eliminate Mahoney. 20:12 Greg Pawluk eliminated by Anton 20:34 Balls Mahoney eliminated by Orth, Caruthers 21:00 Shane Madison **the fans were eager to see what Madison would do as Parys and DiCaprio were still going at each other. Well it sorted out that he was still a member of the Players Club as he helped DiCaprio against Parys, although no elimination occurred. However, the Spinebusters recruited everyone else to help them team up on Kurrgan, and after they managed to eliminate the giant Acadian, the Busters promptly turned on their helpers. 21:43 Kurrgan eliminated by Orth, Caruthers, Raines, Khan, Anton 22:00 Squeegee Kid 22:03 Tiger Khan eliminated by Orth 22:05 Dick Raines eliminated by Caruthers 22:39 Chris Parys eliminated by Anton 23:00 Richard Pound 24:00 Adam Knight 25:00 Lord Zoltan 26:00 Darren Dalton **a lot of lower level wrestlers getting the later draws, making this interesting with a possible upset in the making. The Canadian Outlaws Knight & Dalton drew late and teaming together were a force to be reckoned with. For his part Zoltan drew in second last but was obviously banged up from earlier in the night. He had a pair of brass knuckles hidden in his trunks and managed to use them to nail Squeegee Kid and than Donnie DiCaprio when each made the mistake of getting too close. Unable to take that anymore, officials Buddy Lane and Jennifer Greaves reached into the ring, pulled Zoltan down by the feet, dragged him out of the ring, took the brass knux away and ordered him back into the ring; he was eliminated seconds later. Also of note was that after Zoltan knocked out DiCaprio with the knux, his PC teammate Madison thought nothing of eliminating him. 26:31 Squeegee Kid eliminated by Knight, Dalton 27:12 Donnie DiCaprio eliminated by Madison 27:55 Lord Zoltan eliminated by Anton **we were now down to The Spinebusters: Orth & Caruthers, Anton, Madison, Pound, Knight and Dalton. Anton and Madison temporarily teamed up to go after the Busters while Knight and Dalton double teamed Pound. 28:40 Richard Pound eliminated by Knight, Dalton **sensing the former tag champs could be trouble everyone teamed up on them temporarily 30:17 Jerry Orth eliminated by Madison, Anton **down to Caruthers, Anton, Madison, Knight, Dalton 32:50 Darren Dalton eliminated by Madison, Anton 33:16 Bryan Caruthers eliminated by Knight 33:38 Adam Knight eliminated by Madison, Anton **down to our two final competitors, the newcomer Scotty Anton and the reaffirmed member of the Players Club Shane Madison. Solid battle between these two. In the end Madison charged Anton too early and did the Ric Flair flop in the corner but landed on the apron. Madison was able to vault himself back into the ring while Anton celebrated erroneously, nail Anton with two straight German suplexes and then drop kick him over the top rope. 38:04 Scotty Anton eliminated by Madison [Shane Madison wins a 28-Man Battle Draw at 38:04]
River City Wrestling #850 September 16, 2000 Brandon, Manitoba, Canada
Dark Matches Before RAGE
Opening Bout Vincent Regliatti (/w Vic Gate) defeated Stan Saxon by pinfall after a Northern lights suplex at 8:52 **the instruction from trainer Gate continues, and twice he got Regs to leave the bout and give up his advantage to get pointers. He also instructed him on what finisher to use.
In a post match interview Regliatti said he was frustrated at times with the old fashioned training of Gate, but then again he was also frustrated at his losing streak prior to this. He gives his coach a vote of confidence but says he is ready for stiffer competition and to move up from being in the opener since he is a former Heavyweight champion. Gate annoys him by pointing out "former" champion and saying he needs to continue to work on his fundamentals.
Bout #2 "Pistol" Greg Pawluk defeated Will Damon by pinfall after a missile dropkick at 6:06 **real solid win for Pawluk.
Bout #3 Scotty Anton defeated Eddie Mustang by submission to the sharpshooter at 7:48 **any thoughts that Anton was going to wrestle as a fan favourite was put to rest. After the bout he refused to release his hold, risking DQ, and then reapplied it until Wavell Starr came out to make the save.
Bout #4 Donnie DiCaprio defeated Chris Parys by pinfall after a tornado DDT (and his feet on the ropes) at 9:25 **DiCaprio picks up a tainted victory but that didn't stop him from celebrating like he won the Super Bowl, including doing the "King of the World" pose in the corner. He was joined by Will Damon and Shane Madison in the ring, but while Damon celebrated too, Madison just kind of hung out.
Interview: New women's champion Jessica Judd comes to the ring with her guitar. Joe Aiello also calls out Becky Swallows and Christi Wolf who helped run the ruse two weeks ago to allow Judd to win the title from the dominant TrummerFrauen. JJ says she enlisted the help of these two because it wasn't fair that they all had to compete against a "man". Aiello protests that characterization of the big German, but Judd says we'll never know because the former champ has left the territory. Aiello informs the fans that indeed TrummerFrauen decided to leave the territory instead of pursuing her automatic rematch because she felt that RCW was corrupt, and that they should have overturned the result and given her back the belt. Wolf though grabs the mic and says just to be clear, they are not friends, and that she considers Judd to be a lamb being led to the slaughter, as opposed to TrummerFrauen who would be another wolf. Then from the back comes Stacey Lynn and her friend Chris Lydon. Lynn is really upset. She says for months she has been trying to get them all to work together to topple the champ exactly like this, but they would never go for it. Now suddenly they hatch this plan without her? Judd says the tipping point was when Lynn started to amass an army (Lydon), but don't worry because now its every woman for herself, except for Lynn and Lydon who seem to be scissor buddies. This starts a five girl confrontation and we are told that there was a tag match scheduled for after the interview and that will happen next.
Bout #5 Stacey Lynn & Chris Lydon defeated Christ Wolf & Becky Swallows by pinfall when Lydon pinned Swallows after a cradle piledriver at 8:35 **deja vu all over again for Wolf, last time facing these two with Sheona Stewart, now with Becky being the weak link. Once again after the bout Wolf tossed both her opponents out of the ring, but this time she also laid the boots to Becky and gave her a tombstone piledriver for good measure.
RCW RAGE - One Hour Episode
Bout #6 RCW Tag Team Title Match Giant Balls: Kurrgan & Balls Mahoney defeated Tiger Khan & Lord Zoltan by countout when Zoltan was counted out at 7:44 [Giant Balls retained the RCW Tag Team Titles] **Rematch from last week when the champs lost by DQ in a non-title bout. The challengers were in tough, and this time the champs had to put up with their stalls and cheats as the titles were on the line. However, the challengers were out matched and Zoltan after being punished by both opponents came up lame outside the ring and took the countout feigning a wonky knee. They tried to sneak attack the champs after the bout but were both nailed with the tag belts to the head.
Bout #7 RCW Television Title Match Stan Baker defeated Al Hardamann by disqualification for abuse of official at 10:20 [Stan Baker retained the RCW Television Title] **so the long and short of this episode of the feud was that Hardamann was so frustrated with the cheating of Baker, that he lost it and when referee Shiela Bloom tried to step between the grapplers, he tossed her aside, sending her clear out of the ring. He managed to decimate Baker with a superplex, and a vertebreaker but instead of victory he got disqualified.
Main Event RCW Heavyweight Title Match Sam Holiday defeated Shane Madison by disqualification for outside interference at 8:11 [Sam Holiday retained the RCW Heavyweight Title] **Madison gets the title shot he won in last week's Battle Draw. Holiday started strong but Madison moved out of the way of a charge and Holiday wrecked his shoulder into the ring post. Madison then worked over the champ focusing on the shoulder. However he could not get the champ pinned or to submit to an STF or a crossface. Holiday made a spirited comeback with a trio of atomic drops followed by a leaping bulldog. He then nailed a double arm underhook bomb, and went to the top. Will Damon and Donnie DiCaprio came to the ring and knocked the champ off the top rope to get their Players Club teammate disqualified.
Post-Match: The Players Club beat on the champ (at least Damon and DiCaprio did as Madison was still recovering). Al Hardamann came from the back but he was having problems too, and then Chris Parys showed up and all the Players Club decided to call it a night. Madison was unsure what happened, and as the three of them left for the back the announcement was made of a loss for DQ, and Madison stopped in his tracks. He returned to the announce table to find out what had occurred, and then went back to confront the PC but they had already taken off for the showers.

River City Wrestling #851 September 23, 2000 Bellevue, Nebraska
Dark Matches Before Rage
Opening Bout Eddie Mustang defeated Rawhide Kid by pinfall after a diving cross bodyblock at 7:13 **filler
Bout #2 Chris Lydon defeated Sheona Stewart by pinfall after a cradle piledriver at 5:23 **glorified squash match
Bout #3 Vincent Regliatti (/w Vic Gate) defeated Greg Pawluk by pinfall after a double underhook suplex (and a handful of tights) at 9:31 **Finally Regs got the challenge he wanted, and more. Pawluk made a big comeback and took it to Regliatti. And when the Torontonian resorted to fisticuffs he was chastised by his trainer Gate, who he then engaged with in a shouting match. Back inside the ring Pawluk continued to pour on the offense, but when he went for a dropkick Regs held onto the top rope. He then nailed a snap suplex, a double underhook suplex but cheated with a handful of tights. After the bout Gate was not happy with Regs, Pawluk was not happy with Regs, but Regs was happy with Regs and that is all that seemed to matter to him.
Bout #4 Wavell Starr and Scotty Anton battled to a double countout at 10:08 **Anton seemed to hold his opponent in disdain and probably underestimate him. In the end nothing was settled as the two brawled into the crowd.
Bout #5 North American Women's Title Match Triangle Match Jessica Judd defeated Christi Wolf and Becky Swallows by pinfall when Judd pinned Swallows after a swinging neckbreaker at 8:11 [Jessica Judd retained the North American Women's Title] **Judd granted a title shot to both of her helpers. Wolf looked very strong but that put a target on her back. In the end the other two threw Wolf over the top rope. Judd tried to kick Swallows in the gut, Swallows caught her foot but the champ nailed her with an enzuigiri. Judd followed up with her finisher and kept her title.
RCW RAGE - One Hour Episode
Bout #6 Mini-Tag Battle Royal: Adam Knight & Darren Dalton v Matt Fairlane & Ryan Price v Jerry Orth & Bryan Caruthers v Dick Raines & Richard Pound v Squeegee Kid & Zakk Wylde **Once one man was eliminated both teammates were out. [Fairlane eliminated by Pound] [Dalton eliminated by Raines/Pound] [Raines eliminated by Orth/Caruthers] [Wylde eliminated by Caruthers] [Spinebusters: Jerry Orth & Bryan Caruthers won a 5 team mini battle royal at 9:40]
Bout #7 Tiger Khan (/w Lord Zoltan) defeated Balls Mahoney by pinfall after a Tiger Driver at 11:03 **if Khan won then he and Zoltan would get another tag title shot. Zoltan distracted Mahoney just at the right time to allow Khan to nail him from behind, and a minute later hit his finisher and pick up the win.
Pre-Match: Commissioner Greg Gagne says that in light of the actions of Al Hardamann last week, throwing referee Shiela Bloom out of the ring, he is being fined and suspended this week. Originally the main event coming up was going to be a six-man tag match but Hardamann has been removed so the Players Club will also have to go with only two members. However, given the PC penchant for interfering, although suspended from in ring action, Al Hardamann will be allowed at ringside and will be standing right next to the 3rd PC member.
Main Event Sam Holiday & Chris Parys (/w Al Hardamann) defeated Will Damon & Donnie DiCaprio (/w Shane Madison) by pinfall when Holiday pinned Damon after a top rope legdrop at 10:02 **the real drama of this bout happened outside the ring where contention between Hardamann and Madison calmed down into an earnest talk, and even a few chuckles. Linley Tolbert said they looked to be getting on famously. This seemed to distract Damon and DiCaprio who even left the ring a couple times to try and get Madison to help them more. The PC were already overmatched in this one by the heavyweight champion, who for his part still had words with Shane Madison who he wrestled last week. The end was fairly pedestrian with Madison not trying to effect the outcome from outside the ring.

River City Wrestling #852 September 30, 2000 Racine, Wisconsin
Dark Matches before RAGE
Opening Bout Will Damon defeated Eddie Mustang by pinfall after a victory roll at 8:34 **decent opener, looked like Mustang was on his way to a win, but Damon ducked away from a charge, Mustang crashed hard into the buckle, and Damon rolled him up for the win.
Bout #2 Chris Parys defeated Donnie DiCaprio by pinfall after a Parysault at 6:40 **Parys gets another victory over the Players Club.
Bout #3 Dick Raines & Richard Pound defeated Squeegee Kid & Zakk Wylde by pinfall when Pound pinned Wylde after a stuffed piledriver at 7:37 **filler
Bout #4 Christi Wolf defeated Chris Lydon by pinfall after a cradle piledriver at 5:56 **pecking order bout, both are raw talents, both very physical fit. Wolf was simply too powerful and Lydon did not yet have enough tools in the toolbox to pull out a win.
Bout #5 Scotty Anton defeated Wavell Starr by submission to the Clap (sharpshooter) at 12:46 **this was a really good bout, with a combination of fast pace with power moves, and some brawling outside the ring. Starr gave as good as he got and this really seemed like it could go either way. The end came when Starr was going to go for his flying axhandle but Anton countered by getting off first with a spear. He followed up with a pair of backbreakers, and then put on his version of the sharpshooter to get the win.
RCW RAGE - One Hour Episode
Bout #6 RCW Television Title Match Stan Baker defeated Greg Pawluk by pinfall after a heart punch at 9:33 [Stan Baker retained the RCW Television Title] **Another good showing by an opponent comes up short against Baker. The big man has really put a claim on his TV title.
Bout #7 RCW Tag Team Title Match Giant Balls: Kurrgan & Balls Mahoney defeated Tiger Khan & Lord Zoltan by pinfall when Kurrgan pinned Zoltan after a chokeslam at 7:53 [Giant Balls retained the RCW Tag Team Titles] **When they couldn't cheat enough to win the challengers had very little else to offer in this bout.
Main Event RCW Heavyweight Title Match Special Enforcer - Al Hardamann Sam Holiday defeated Shane Madison by pinfall after a top rope legdrop at 10:12 [Sam Holiday retained the RCW Heavyweight Title] **Madison had some good moments, and was trying to wrestle an honourable and fair fight, even though he had some heat with Holiday from previous weeks. Al Hardamann was outside the ring with an axhandle patrolling to keep the Players Club from interfering. Will Damon and Donnie DiCaprio did come out at one point to test Hardamann, and got nowhere so retreated, but that distraction did allow Madison to turn things around. Madison was in trouble later in the bout and Stan Baker came down to ringside to get a piece of Hardamann, as these two have had a history of heat. It was a distraction though as Damon and DiCaprio also came down to ringside, and soon so did Chris Parys to even things out a bit. Holiday was distracted inside the ring and Madison could have tried to attack him from behind but did nothing. Instead Holiday and Madison both left the ring to try and get everyone to go back to the dressing room. Baker though threw a punch at Hardamann and all hell broke loose. The Players Club were all over the champion, but Madison grabbed Damon while Parys grabbed DiCaprio, and fisticuffs ensued. It was official that Madison is now at odds with the Players Club. Things sorted outside the ring wth Baker leaving, and Parys and Hardamann fighting the Players Club to the back. Inside the ring the two contestants picked up the pace. Madison telegraphed a back body drop and Holiday took advantage. Face slam, side suplex, neckbreaker, and then his finisher. Good showing by Madison but not enough.
