The opening match was Bonecrusher vs. EPW Champion Mason. Bonecrusher out first and he was ready for a fight. Mason out next, accompanied by Bonecrusher's wife (who is under Mason's spell), EPW Promoter Edith Poole, and a Prentiss County Deputy Sheriff. Mason was boasting about EPW providing security for him since he is such a prestigious champion, and said he was not going to give Bonecrusher a title shot. Edith then took the mic and told Mason that the Deputy was not in the building as security for him, he was there to serve Mason with a warrant. Bonecrusher had filed assault charges against Mason for hitting him with a chain two weeks ago. The Deputy produced the warrant and was going to arrest Mason, when Bonecrusher said that if Mason would give him a title shot immediately, he would drop the charges. Mason had no choice but to agree. Bonecrusher gave Mason quite a beating. Mason got some good shots in, but it was almost all Bonecrusher until Bonecrusher's wife got up on the ring apron & distracted the referee and threw a chain in to Mason. Bonecrusher, however, saw the chain. Mason threw it to him and immediately hit the mat. Bonecrusher caught it and the referee sees the chain in Bonecrusher's hand and Mason laying in the ring and called for the bell. Winner by DQ and still EPW Champion is Mason. Bonecrusher is furious and says it's not over.

JR Mauler over Buzz Harley by DQ when Buzz used a chair. After the match Buzz continued to hit JR with the chair. JR's partner, Kross, who had been doing commentary, ran in and was hit with the chair also. Kross' leg was broken several weeks before, and he had been out of action in recent weeks. Buzz then re-injured the leg before finally going to the back. Both JR and Kross were carried to the back and taken to the hospital for medical attention.
End of show.
I was later told that Kross' leg was re-broken and he will be out indefinitely. JR received a severe concussion. No word as to when he will compete again.
