Country began this match playing to the crowd and trying to win them over. Max Martin was not so easily pleased by him or the crowd and seemed to be rather disgusted. As the two locked up, Country’s size was more than Martin was ready for and the big man couldn’t be kept down. Eventually, Martin was able to get the match going in his favor, due to some underhanded tactics, and began maintaining control, trying not to let Country Bear regain his momentum. In the end of this match, after Max Martin had tried all he could, Country Bear was just too much size for Max and he picked up a victory using a slam he calls the “Shotgun”.

Winner: Country Bear

As soon as the bell rang, both men became very in-tuned to their opponent and locked up very aggressively. They began trying to outwrestle the other on the mat and trying to submit their opponents early on. After Bomberry had gotten frustrated with Taylor’s ability to wrestle, Bomberry decided to start putting some punishment to the champ, beginning with a rake to the eyes and several punches in the corner. Bomberry kept Taylor in his control and had the match going in his favor until Taylor delivered two Stiff kicks to Bomberry’s chest and midsection and came back with a strong Saito Suplex. After Bomberry had delivered a quick Spinning Neck Breaker and Back Body Drop, Taylor was able to counter his Michinoku Driver and roll Bomberry up into position and locked in the Single Leg Crab for the victory.

Winner: Ryan Taylor

Nitro was on fire this night (no pun intended), since he had won the Tag Team Championship with Johnny Dynamite recently. Nitro wasn’t going to let a rookie like The Irish Icon spoil his evening. The Icon began trying to resort to underhanded tactics but Nitro’s innovative skills wouldn’t allow The Icon to get any kind of advantage. Eventually, The Irish Icon was able to take control of the match as he caught Nitro off guard and was able to keep the new EWF tag team champ down on the ground. The Irish Icon wasn’t able to keep Nitro under control for long, however, when Nitro hit a stiff Superkick to the Icon and split his lip wide open. After being frustrated, Nitro became a house of fire and was finally able to prevail in this match up, and eventually hit his 450 Splash for the win.

Winner: Brandon Nitro

This is a match made from down under, as both men hail from the continent of Australia. Early on in this match, Bernie Bays was keeping control of Jay Law and not letting him land any of his stiff strikes. Bays had a good upper hand in the match, until Jay Law outsmarted the bigger man and was able to use his cut throat techniques to keep Bays in control. Although Bays was eventually able to come back and hit a T-Bone Suplex for a near victory, it was not enough to keep the rough, tough Aussie down. Eventually Jay Law was able to gain a near victory as well with a Capture Suplex, but Bays wasn't going out so easily and was able to hit the “Boomerang” for his victory.

Winners: Bernie Bays

Aggravated Assault has been absent from the EWF for many years. Before that, they were one of the most dominant champions in the EWF and now it was time for them to prove that they are still one of the best that the EWF has ever seen. Los Chivos are known as the veteran tag team of the EWF as they have always been known for their ability to overcome any team in their way. So in the main event of this evening, two teams were trying to prove their worthiness of a shot at the tag team titles. Aggravated Assault was very intense early on in the match up, not showing any signs of ring rust. Los Chivos used their veteran like knowledge to outsmart their opponents and gain the upper hand. The Chivos “Lucha” style of wrestling is very unfamiliar to their opponents and they both had become frustrated by the Chivos abilities and soon began their beat down on Kayam. They kept their focus on him and kept him away from Enigma De Oro, which was a very good strategy on their part. Soon, Enigma De Oro was tagged in and managed to take out both members of Aggravated Assault very quickly, and although Enigma was very refreshed, Aggravated Assault thought they had the match won when Mando Vega stopped his count after 2. They raised their arms in victory as Mando tried to tell them they haven't won when out of nowhere, Los Chivos simultaneously rolled up Aggravated Assault for the three count and the win.

Winners: Los Chivos
