Mean Marc Ash vs. C.R. Smooth - Unfortunately we're stuck with a wide shot of the whole match. There's a trading of heckling comments between the wrestlers, Ash is wearing the long pants that were referred to as "clown pants" while Smooth is wearing the black tights. Ash attacks before the bell, whip reverse shoulderblock. Hip toss Smooth, arm drag, drop kick, Ash bails. That ring is stuck between two columns and that ceiling is LOW.

WINNER: Mean Marc Ash pin -> 18 mins. **

We jump to another match in already in progress, but the participants are not named. Discussion between Ash and the other guy is stuck on Ash vs. Viper and they aren't acknowledging the match in the ring for the most part.

Unknown Team #1- Name unknown white mask and black tights, Name Unknown in yellow tights vs. Unknown Team #2 Man in Blue/Silver, Man in black mask blue/black tights w/ Desperado Mark Kissell - I dunno WHY they just threw this match in there with no explanation, I mean it makes my task harder. This match is joined in progress from some nameless fed in California that they don't mention, I get later that it's from the now defunct American Independent Wrestling Alliance but emails to California yield nothing on the names. Two guys, a guy in yellow is tossed in the ring, a man in blue and silver is on the top rope. Flying punch from the top sends the yellow guy out. Suplex by the silver/blue man gets two. Guy in yellow gets a rollup gets two. Guy in yellow slugs away on the silver/blue panted man for two. Whip into a boot in the corner, tag the white masked guy, he chops away. Choke hold by the white masked man, he takes him to his own corner to tag to the black/blue masked man. Whip clothesline by the white masked man. Whip another clothesline, tag yellow guy, whip forearm. The manager from the outside comes in and holds the yellow man up for the blue/black masked man to hit and he knocks the cowboy out. Guy in yellow has the blue silver man in, whip elbow. Guy in yellow goes up, tries an axe but gets nailed in the gut. Blue/silver panted man with a slam gets two, slam tag masked black/blue man. It's a double team guided senton flip gets the win. Match was unimpressive and dunno why it was included on the show if Big Bubba D and Marc Ash weren't paying attention to it. Guess they needed filler to show while doing a live interview with the mean one. *shrug*
