– Brian Pillman Jr. defeated TJP in an Opera Cup tournament first-round match

– Alexander Hammerstone defeated MJF in an Opera Cup tournament first-round match
Two members of The Dynasty faced off here.
– Tom Lawlor defeated “Rip Von Erich” in an exhibition match
It was advertised that Lawlor would be facing a Von Erich family member. He cut a promo on Ross and Marshall Von Erich before the match and claimed Rip Von Erich was “the son of Lance Von Erich.” Lawlor defeated him with the Iron Claw.
Lawlor got back on the microphone after until being confronted by Ross and Marshall. Kenn Doane and Mike Mondo of The Spirit Squad attacked the Von Erichs.
– MLW Middleweight Champion Myron Reed defeated El Lindaman

Smith Jr. advanced to face his Hart Foundation stablemate Pillman Jr. in the finals.

– MLW Tag Team Champions Ross & Marshall Von Erich defeated Kenn Doane & Mike Mondo
– Jimmy Havoc defeated Mance Warner in a Prince of Darkness match
Havoc won after Priscilla Kelly got involved.
– Gino “El Intocable” Medina defeated Savio Vega in a New York street fight
