C.M. Sigmon defended the EWP championship against archrival "The King" Shane Williams in a "I Quit" street fight. The brutal contest lasted for over 30 minutes. Williams bled profusely from the forehead after the opening 10 minutes; Sigmon singled-out the wound and used a belt buckle to tear into Williams' head. To add insult to injury, Sigmon whipped "The King" with the leather strap. During the middle of the street fight, Sigmon jumped off the top rope and landed a head butt on Williams' left arm; the EWP titleholder focused on the injured arm throughout the match. Sigmon took a curved piece of wood and drove it into Williams' eye, forcing "The King" to submit. Sigmon didn't have time to celebrate his hard fought victory - Wayne Atkins and Beau James hit the ring and helped Williams assault the EWP champion. Spur, the EWP senior official, was jumped by Atkins and James. Williams choked-out Sigmon with a leather strap as Atkins/James continued to attack Spur. Referee A.J. Gand tried to intervene, but was knocked out for his efforts. Even the EWP announcer found himself under attack during the turmoil. EWP owner Ericules demanded the trio to stop their rampage, or risk suffering excommunication. Atkins tried to hit the EWP owner, but Ericules ducked and then went on the offensive. Atkins, James, and Williams retreated to the locker room.

EWP tag team champions Death Row Inmates (Willie B. Badd and Jason Maxx) defended their titles against Wayne Atkins and Beau James. Before the match, James accused the assigned referee, Spur, of being "crooked". Spur said he was "a fair man", and agreed to turn the officiating duties over to A.J. Gand. During the match, Atkins and James used a foreign object that caused Maxx to suffer a bloody nose. The contest concluded as Badd covered Atkins and James pinned Maxx simultaneously. The referee had kept his eyes on James and Maxx during the three-count, and didn't see Badd score the pin. Before Atkins and James could celebrate their reign as champions, Spur rushed in and took the foreign object out of James' trunks. Both referees disqualified Atkins and James, and awarded the match to DRI. Spur announced that it was in the contract that the match had been the last title shot for the team of Atkins/James.

Edward Idol wrestled Robbie Race. Before the bell rang, Idol said he was a wrestler and not a boxer; he didn't appreciate Race constantly trying to punch him. Idol produced a contract that stipulated Race would be suspended if he threw a punch during the match. As the match took place, Idol rotated a foreign object between his kneepads and used the loaded pads to punish his opponent whenever the opportunity presented itself. Idol put the weapon in his hand and went for a knockout. Race moved out of the way and obtained the foreign object from Idol. Referee Spur saw Race with the weapon and disqualified him. Race, driven by rage and frustration, knocked out Idol with a loaded fist.

"Mr. Showtime" Jim Miller proved he was immoral by the methods he used to win against Shane Andrews. In an attempt to deliver a frog splash, Andrews jumped off the top rope but made impact with the canvas instead of Miller. Andrews told officials that he was hurt. As officials tried to tend to Andrews, Miller interrupted and insisted on personally helping Andrews. Miller gently picked up the injured wrestler and asked him if he was OK. Miller showed his true intentions by attacking Andrews with kicks and punches, followed by the spear. Andrews, unable to fight back, was pinned by Miller.  

Donovan Daniels and The Rip def. Jeff Anderson and Keith Knox. In the closing moments of the match, Anderson battled The Rip outside the ring while Knox tangled with Daniels in the ring. Knox hit the ropes and his back fell victim to a chair wielded by The Rip on the outside. Knox was stunned, setting him up for the pin by Daniels.

Trooper T. def. Crypt Keeper via pin.
