Intermission
Ace Austin defeated Rich Swann
– Swann attacked the ref, then shoved Rich Bocchini, who tried to ask about Swann’s behavior as of late. Swann then threw some items at ringside and berated the ring announcer before leaving
Brian Pillman Jr & Davey Boy Smith Jr defeated Tommy Dreamer & The Sandman
– Pillman talked trash about Philly, then said he has rights because the Constitution was signed here. He announced Smith as his partner first, then Dreamer came out and introduced Sandman. The end of the match saw Pillman running away from Sandman, who had a Singapore cane, and Pillman looked under each side of the ring for a weapon. He went towards the side nearest the entrance ramp, and got surprised by The Blue Meanie. Meanie decked Pillman, then Sandman ended up getting hit, and Pillman ran back in and hit Dreamer with the cane. He then assisted Smith with a powerbomb through two chairs to pick up the win.
Gringo Loco defeated Puma King
– Very fun match with plenty of back and forth action early on. Gringo hit Spanish Fly to win.
Rey Horus defeated Aerostar
– Another really fun back and forth match. Horus won after hitting seated powerbomb out of a flip.

MLW Middleweight Championship
Teddy Hart defeated MJF to retain
– Before the match, MJF cut a promo on being a star and talked trash about ECW, then dared Teddy to come out without the Hart Foundation. The final moments of the match saw an accidental referee bump. MJF tried to use a chair, but Teddy blocked it, then hit MJF while the ref was down. Teddy followed with an Ego Driver (powerbomb on to his knees) and springboard corkscrew moonsault, and the fans chanted ‘happy birthday’ to him as he celebrated his win.
