Episode 9:

The show opened with a cilp of Claudio Castagnoli beating Strangler Lewis last week then cut to Claudio being interviewed in the back by Bill Apter. Claudio challenged Buddy Rogers to an LWF Heavyweight title match tonight! LWF Officials are scrambling to book the match.

Bruiser Brody & Necro Butcher vs. The Heartbreak Express:
The debuting Heartbreak Express made an impressive showing, isolating Necro Butcher and wearing him down with quick tags. Unfortunately, the referee caught Sean using a foreign object and awarded the bout to Brody & Butcher.

It was announced that Tiger Mask has been awarded a LWF Junior Heavyweight title match against Drake Younger next week.

Johnny Valentine vs. Dewey Robertson:
Valentine attacked Robertson with gusto from the opening bell and seemed intent on punishing him. Robertson was able to turn the match his way a number of times but Valentine was relentless. After Robertson was a bloody mess, Valentine put him away with two Atomic Skullcrushers.

Chris Hero vs. Curt Hennig:
Hero fought hard and earned the cheers of the crowd after kicking out of two Hennig Plexes. Hero came back and appeared to be on the verge of victory. After kicking out of two Hero's Welcomes, Hennig came back and knocked Hero out with The Axe for a hard fought win.

Danny Hodge vs. Ricky Landell:
Hodge squashed Landell in a matter of minutes, softening him up with the abdominal stretch before pinning him with the Oklahoma Sideroll.

Nick Bockwinkel & Ray Stevens vs. The Backseat Boys:
Bockwinekl & Stevens came to the ring with something to prove, as did the Backseat Boys. The newcomers fought hard but the wiley veterans proved too much for them. Bockwinkel & Stevens kept Kashmere isolated for most of the match. Bockwinkel wore him down with the Bockwinkel Sleeper before tagging in Stevens. Stevens hit the Bombs Away for the win.

Mike Quackenbush vs. Rick Rude:
Rude mercilessly attacked Quackenbush at the opening bell and repeatedly took the match to the floor. Quackenbush was a bloody mess within minutes. Quackenbush mounted a comeback and nearly put Rude away with the Quackendriver III. Rude kicked out and nearly got the win with the double sledgehammer before putting Quackenbush away with the Rude Awakening.

LWF Heavyweight champion Buddy Rogers vs. Claudio Castagnoli:
Rogers took the fight to Castagnoli from the opening bell. Castagnoli managed to mount a little offense but the champ used his superior skills to wear down the bigger man. Castagnoli wowwed the crowd after refusing to submit to the Figure Four Grapevine but couldn't capitalize on it. Rogers got the win with the Piledriver to retain the title.

Ted DiBiase vs. Larry Zbyszko:
This match was all DiBiase. He attacked the self proclaimed Living Legend and never let up, eventually winning with the fist drop. After the match, Buddy Rogers attacked DiBiase from behind and helped Zbyszko work him over. Before too much damage could be done, Johnny Valentine hit the ring and attacked Rogers. It took LWF officials ten minutes to break up the ensuing melee between the four men.

United States Champion George Hackenschmidt vs. Bob Orton: Orton attacked Hackenschmidt before the bell, going after his injured neck like a shark. Hack battled back. The match went back and forth for ten minutes, neither man able to get an advantage. Finally, Hackenschmidt capitalized on a mistake by Orton and wore him down with the Russian Bear Hug before finishing him off with the wristlock suplex to retain the title.

After the match, Don Leo Jonathan grabbed the United States title belt from the timekeepers table and entered the ring with it. The show went off the air with Don Leo Jonathan and George Hackenschmidt staring one another down as DLJ handed Hackenschmidt his title.

Robertson attacked DLJ before the bell, hoping to gain an advantage. After about a minute, DLJ had had enough and took control, bulldozing Robertson for three minutes before putting him away with the Mormon Swing.

Bockwinkel got on the mic and dared the tag team champions to give them a shot at the gold.

Johnny Valentine & Ted DiBiase vs. Buddy Rogers & Larry Zbyszko: The referee struggled to maintain control from the opening bell. DiBiase was a force to be reckoned with, knock both Rogers and Zbyszko senseless with the Loaded Glove. The end came when Zbyszko tried to take the match to the floor. DiBiase regained control on the outside and finished Zbyszko off with the Loaded Glove.

LWF Junior Heavyweight Champion Drake Younger vs. Tiger Mask:
Tiger Mask started strong but the momentum shifted in Drake Younger's favor when Tiger Mask missed a dive to the floor. Younger gave Tiger Mask a powerbomb on the floor and rolled him back into the ring to finish him off with Drake's Landing to retain the title.

After the match, the Naptown Dragons arrived at ringside to congratulate Younger. He gestured toward Tiger Mask, who was struggling to his feet. The Naptown Dragons launched a vicious double team attack and were on the verge of removing Tiger Mask's mask when Danny Hodge hit the ring with a steel chair. The show went off the air with Hodge and Younger having a staredown.

Insiders predicted Bob Orton would humiliate Castagnoli, Orton being the second longest reigning United States champion in LWF history, but it was not to be. Castagnoli wore the veteran down with two Riccola Bombs before pinning him following a Springboard European Uppercut.

Strangler Lewis vs. Diamond Dallas Page:
Page started strong but, like many, made one mistake too many. Lewis capitalized on a missed deathjump and put Page away with repeated Strangler's Headlocks.

Danny Hodge vs. Dustin Lee:
Once again, Hodge put on a wrestling clinic. Lee mounted little offense, falling to Hodge's superior technical skills in mere minutes. Hodge got the submission victory via the Indian Deathlock.

Nick Bockwinkel vs. Rick Rude:
Bockwinkel showed Rude why he's a man to be feared in the LWF, repeatedly taking the match to the floor, frustrating Rude. Rude came back and even hit his signature hold, the Rude Awakening. Bockwinkel managed to get a foot across the ropes before the three count. Enraged, Rude threw Bockwinkel to the floor and plastered him with the steel chair, earning himself a DQ loss.

United States champion George Hackenschmidt vs. Don Leo Jonathan:
The crowd was on their feet for the LWF's two premeire powerhouses. The champion was the underdog going in due to DLJ's superior strength, agility, and size. Jonathan took the advantage early on and threw Hackenschmidt around the ring. Hack bounced back and went after the big man's legs, thrice locking on the heel hook. DLJ came back and hit the rolling splash, followed by a Mormon Swing for a near fall. DLJ took the bout to the floor and Hackenschmidt went on the offense, wearing down DLJ with the Russian Bear Hug before finally getting the submission to retain the title.

Ted DiBiase vs. Larry Zbyszko - Brass Knuckles match:
Both men bled buckets in this match. Zbyszko drew first blood and set the tempo for the match. While DiBiase's black glove was formidable, it was not enough. Zbyszko wore down the second generation superstar and put him away with the abdominal stretch for the win.

LWF Junior Heavyweight champion Drake Younger vs. Danny Hodge:
Hodge showed why some consider him the best wrestler in the world, attacking Younger from the opening bell and twisting him into knots.
