The Guerreros vs. Carl Kellerman and Samson Smith 

Guerreros put on a textbook tag team display and even though they don't need to cheat, they do anyways. Guerreros get the easy win with a double hot shot on the top rope. 

 

Nelson: Ok Hector, Chavo, you guys have been going back and forth with the British Bombers for a while now and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. 

Chavo: Hey, we keep beating them over and over again. 

Nelson: Well, they've gotten more than a few victories over you two. 

Hector: Yes, it's because they resort to blatant cheating. We win our matches clean and those are the only ones that count.

Norton gets in the ring, yells and flexes. 

The wrestlers are on opposite sides of the table. They grip hands. The Ref puts his hand on top of theirs and lets go. 

Norton does indeed slam his opponent's arm hard on the table and it's all over. 

Arcidi: Get that bum out of your ring Scotty!

Nelson: Kerry, you had one heck of a showing at Champagne Slam and I know Kokina felt the power of that discus punch. Unfortunately, he didn't go over the top rope. You were so close to winning the AWA world title. 

Kerry: Larry, my goal has always been to be the AWA world champion and it eats me alive to have been that close. I've been training hard and I want a shot at the world title, plain and simple!

Latin Desire vs. The Tribal Nation 

Since losing the National tag titles to the Heavenly Bodies, Latin Desire have been racking up the wins. On the flip side, the Tribal Nation have suffered some heartbreaking losses and look to get back on track tonight. 

Tribal Nation start off with serious aggression and take it to Latin Desire. Mark tags in Chris, they swing Lou to the ropes and double back drop him. Lou staggers up as the Tribe put him down with a double chop. Tribal Nation continue to work over Lou with quick tags and double team maneuvers. Lou somehow survives it and eventually makes the hot tag to Al. 

Al's pumped up and cleans house. He swings Mark to the ropes and dropkicks him down. Al continues to work over Mark until Mark makes the tag to Chris. Al doesn't see it. Al continues to focus on Mark. Chris puts Al down with a clip to the knee. 

Tribal Nation work over Al. Chris has Al up in a suplex position and Mark hits a flying press from the top rope but Al manages to get his shoulder up just in time. Mark protests the Ref's count. Mark swings Al to the ropes but Al leapfrogs over Mark and tags in Lou. 

Lou's on fire as he batters Mark. Lou dropkicks Mark down, follows with a gut wrench suplex, then swings off the ropes and hits a jumping elbow drop 1..2..Chris breaks it. As the Ref guides Chris to his corner, Lou tags in Al. Lou superkicks Mark into a bridging back suplex by Al. The Ref turns around 1..2..3! 

Chris helps Mark up. Once again they're clearly disappointed. Latin Desire walk over and chat with the Tribal Nation. Tribal Nation hold up Latin Desire's arms. Both teams shake hands as the fans cheer. 

Tribal Nation start to leave. 

WHAM! 

Tribal Nation clothesline Latin Desire from behind! The fans are shocked as Tribal Nation angrily stomp down on Latin Desire. Tribal Nation hurl Latin Desire through the ropes and follow. Tribal Nation swing Al into the steel post, then double back suplex him on the concrete. They pick up Lou and throat drop him on the guard railing. Officials storm the scene. The fans are in a stunned silence.
