1) Apoc defeated Dexter Hardaway (with Talon) with a Death Valley Driver. Afterwards, Talon was checking on Hardaway, Apoc grabbed her by the hair and acted like he was going to punch her. She kicked him in the balls and then hit the x-factor for a huge pop.
2) "Golden Boy" Greg Anthony (with Brian Thompson) beat Wes Robinson with his leg drop finish. This was Robinson's 6th pro match and he did great. Highlights saw a springboard cross body, Brad Armstrong float over Russian leg sweet, and a cool Muta like entrance by Robinson. Anthony hit a gorgeous belly to belly and led Robinson through a good match.
3) "All-American" Mark Johnson beat "Bruiser" Rick Sweetan (with Rich Rude) via disqualification when Rude pushed Johnson off the top rope and then preceded to double team him with Sweetan. Dustin Anderson ran in to make the save and took a vicious t-bone suplex. Timing was off and Anderson landed right on his head. Robinson, Hardaway, and other faces ran in and finally Sweetan and Rude retreated to the back.
4) Prince Al Farat pinned "Heartbreaker" Chas Cardington in a special challenge match with a senton. Pre-Match mic spill by Farat which got good heat.
5) International Champion Tim Storm defeated Kaleb Kastle with a version of the bossman slam. Kastle at one point missed a shoulder in the corner post spot and went sailing through the middle rope to the floor. It looked insane. Storm had major heat. At one point while on the floor, Tim yelled at the ringside fans to move. After they all scattered, Tim simply grabbed Kastle and threw him back in the ring and laughed his ass off at the fans. They were livid.
6) Taylor Wilde pinned Awesome Kong. Good solid 8-minute match. Several Kong signs in the crowd.
7) Tag Team Champions Reckage & Romance (Matt Riviera & Jeff Jett) [pictured] beat Midnight Gold (Bobby Eaton & Greg Anthony) with Brian Thompson. Good Tag! Riviera was insanely over as a face which include a 60-year-old woman flashing him. Eaton his the neckbreaker on Jett to start the heat. Riviera finally made a hot tag and cleaned house including a spinebuster on Anthony. Jett came back in and they hit a huge double flapjack on Anthony. Referee is getting Jett out, Brian up on the apron, Eaton grabs Riviera, Anthony goes to nail Riviera with an object, he moves, nails Anthony and dives on top of Eaton for the pin. Place went nuts. Literally 150 fans gathered around ringside banging on the apron and several kids strutted with Riviera in the ring.
Around 600 in attendance in a 700 seat building. Good show from top to bottom. Next show is 9/12 in Russelville at the LV Williamson Boys & Girls Club with Riviera vs. Jay Lethal, Buddy Landel, Malia Hosaka vs. Athena (from Dallas not the former TNA girl), and more.
