Show starts with folks running out to see Shank writhing on the ground in the parking lot claiming Timber smashed his hand in the door of his truck. Pretty dastardly by Timber, although Shank did threaten to murder Timbers grandmother, so smashing his hand seems like a measured response.

We have a match between two guys interrupted by White Trash, who hits them both with a stop sign, then he is interrupted by Big Ron Studd, who chokeslams everyone. Kind of a lazy ECW pastiche, and Big Ron Studd is a crappy 911, although actually tall.

Lazz v. Gemini

Lazz is a guy doing a Brittney Spears imitator gimmick, and an act I remember really digging back in the day. Gemini is apparently a Sheik trainee and RVD buddy, and works as kind of a fake RVD with Muta facepaint. This only goes a couple of minutes before Ron Studd comes in and chokeslams Lazz. Then the three guys from the last match attack Ron Studd only to get chokeslammed (Big Mick Cool is only guy who takes the chokeslam well.) Then we get a Mick Tierney run in and a pull apart. Lots of stuff, none of it particularly compelling, although I could see people who didn't know who Mick Tierney and Ron Studd were, anticipating a Mick Tierney v. Ron Studd match.

Onyx v. Adam Jacobs

Fun early 21st century juniors match. There was a little too much spinning on clotheslines, but otherwise it was some nice athletic moves hit well. Onyx is only about 5'8 but cut as shit, he does sort of a Chippendale's gimmick which he executes in a really assholish way. Finish had some mishigos from Jeff G. Bailey and Eddie Golden and the NWA Elite gets another belt

Short Bailey and Onyx interview where Bailey calls Onxy "Blacker then South Atlanta and twice as Dangerous"

Fired up Bad Attitude promo promising to take all the belts. Basic stuff, but well done.

Jeff G. Bailey comes out with his crew, talks about the fine Christian athlete AJ Styles coming to his sense. Says JC Dazz is in a film and he is happy he got to bottom Jeff Strykers cock, then says they are sending Jorge Estrada back to Tijuana to work the door at his madre's donkey show. Wasn't this show on TV? Jeff G. Bailey folks.

AJ Styles/Eddie Golden v. JC Dazz/Jorge Estrada

Best match I have seen so far. Most of the match had Styles and Golden working over Estrada and Jorge takes offense really well. He goes sky high on backdrops and slams. Golden has really great basic asskicking offense and Styles is great as a flashy douchey heel. I didn't like Dazz doing a rope running section off a hot tag, but the near fall section was pretty exciting. I really love the Golden and Styles team, I am not sure how long it lasted, but they could have had a big run, because they complemented each other really well

First part of the show was forgettable, but start at the 30 minute mark and watch the Bailey interview and final tag.
