Brent Albright vs. Arik Cannon:
Albright dismantled Arik Cannon. Cannon was tough but Albright was relentless. Albright scored near falls with the 6-1-Knee, the Exploder, and the Sharpshooter before getting the win with the Crowbar.
Erick Stevens vs. Ultramantis Black:
Ultramantis Black dominated the match and looked like a whole other wrestler, hitting the Praying Mantis Bomb twice. Miraculously, Stevens bounced back and scored two near falls with the Sarasota Screwdriver before putting Black away with the Doctor Bomb.
After the match, Ultramantis Black invited Stevens to join the Order of the Neo Solar Temple. Stevens refused and Black said he would live to regret it.
Mike Quackenbush vs. Jimmy Jacobs:
Quackenbush and Jacobs fought a brutal match. Jacobs scored the first near fall after spearing Quackenbush three times. Quack kicked out and made a comeback after Jacobs missed a leap from the top. Quack hit the Quackendriver for a two count. Quackenbush went to the top rope but it was Jacob's time to turn the tables. He rolled through a crossbody and locked on the End Time. Quackenbush managed to get to the ropes. Jacobs missed the railroad spike and Quackenbush whipped him into the ropes. Jacobs hit a stun gun and locked on the End Time a second time for the win.
Jim Londos vs. Rick Rude - Londos's farewell match:
Rude attacked Londos before the bell and quickly had him reeling thanks to a double sledgehammer. Londos recovered and threw Rude to the outside but Rude took control and busted Londos open. Rude hit the Rude Awakening for a near fall. Londos took a beating but managed to make a comeback with the crotch lift and slam for a near fall. Rude got to his feet and Londos hoisted him into the airplane spin. Rude was wobbly but managed to kick out. Londos hoisted Rude into the airplane spin for a second time, then locked on the Boston Crab for the win.
After the match, Jim Londos bid the RoV crowd farewell and said they'd see him in another ring soon, be it the GWF, Zenith, or the AWF. As Londos exited the ring, Rick Rude gloated, glad to be rid of him...
Until Curt Hennig entered the ring and challenged him to a Best of Seven series. The winner would get a shot at the Ring of Victory Grand Championship while the loser would have to leave RIng of Victory! Rick snatched a mic from the ringside announcer and agreed to the stipulations, saying he could kill two birds with one stone. Rude and Hennig shook on the deal and left the ring seperately.
Jushin Liger vs. Tyler Black:
Liger unloaded on Black, knocking him senseless with the Shoda. Black made a comeback and wore down Liger with his martial arts kicks and three turnbuckle powerbombs. Black went to the top and hit the Phoenix Splash but Liger kicked out. Black took the match to the floor and Liger regained control. Liger rolled Black back into the ring and hit the Fisherman Buster for a near fall. Black struggled to his feet, only to be given a Brainbuster for his troubles. Again, Black kicked out. Finally, Liger hoisted Black up and hit the Liger Bomb!
