Match #5: Sheepherders defeated the James Gang in a First Round match
- in a matchup between 2 tag teams on Smackdown who clearly do not like each other, the Sheepherders advanced when Luke Williams got away with smashing Kip James from behind with a steel chair and then he and Butch Miller hit Kip James with DOUBLE GUTBUSTER leading to Miller getting the pinfall on Kip James.
Match #6: Rob Van Dam and Curt Hennig defeated Ox Baker and the Sandman by DQ in a First Round match
- this match ended in a DQ after Sandman smashed RVD twice over the head with his SINGAPORE CANE. As Striker and Zbyszko commented, Sandman- a member of the EAWA roster- was out of his element in this match as all matches in the EAWA are no DQ and no countout and thus he would not have been DQd in an EAWA match.
Match #7: Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens (both managed by Bobby Heenan) defeated the Iron Sheik and Shawn Daivari in a First Round match
- the Iron Sheik and Daivari came dangerously close to scoring a major upset here but lost when Stevens put away Daivari via CRIPPLING PILEDRIVER.
Match #8: World Champion Harley Race and EAWA Champion Big Van Vader defeated Scott Taylor and "Sodbuster" Kenny Jay in a First Round match
- despite Taylor and Jay getting in some brief and surprising offense- including Jay twice bodyslamming Vader!- this match ended when Race pinned Jay via his PILEDRIVER.
End of Show. Bracket C First Round is up next.

Great results so far with an interesting balance of squashes and upsets. Round two should prove very interesting.

Match #4: Melina defeated Tina Moretti in a Vixens Championship Tournament First Round match
- Moretti did not go down easy but Melina advanced via LAST CALL. As a result, Melina tomorrow will take on Jazz in the Semi-Finals.
Match #5: The Funks defeated VWF Chairman of the Board "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Larry "The Axe" Hennig in a Second Round match

Match #6: VWF Tag Team Champions Road Warriors defeated The Crusher and Jackie Fargo in a Second Round match
- The Road Warriors completely dominated this match and won when Road Warrior Hawk pinned The Crusher after the DOOMSDAY DEVICE.
- As a result, the Road Warriors next take on the tag team of Johnny Saint and Val Venis is the Sweet Sixteen tomorrow.
- Afterward, The Crusher and Fargo said they hate being eliminated but, since the EAWA Tag Team Champions Vachons are also now eliminated and have to defend their championship on Day 4, they want to be the ones challenging for the EAWA Tag Team Championship on Sunday. EAWA General Manager Angelo Poffo arrived and said The Crusher and Fargo can challenge the Vachons for the EAWA Tag Team Championship on Day 4/Sunday as he has already been planning, since yesterday's results which saw the early eliminations of both the MVC and the visiting Freebirds, to have the MVC take on Michael Hayes and Buddy Roberts in a non-tournament match on Day 4/Sunday!

Vegas Wrestling Federation (VWF)
MLW Memorial Cup Day 2- early afternoon
May 26, Year 2
Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC)
Las Vegas, NV
(First Half of Show)
- commentators: Matt Striker and Larry Zbyszko
Match #1: Beverly Shade defeated Trish Stratus in a Vixens Championship Tournament First Round match
- Shade scored an impressive upset over Stratus- a former Ladies Champion- when she got the pinfall after a missed deathjump while getting away with placing her feet on the ropes for extra leverage as the referee made the 3 count.
Match #2: Fabulous Moolah defeated Nora Greenwald in a Vixens Championship Tournament First Round match
- Greenwald gave Moolah plenty of problems, but Moolah won via JACKKNIFE CRADLE to advance to the next round where she will take on her tag partner Shade.
Match #3: Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen defeated Shane Douglas (accompanied by Francine) and Brass Knuckles Champion Jerry Lynn in a Second Round match
- Douglas and Lynn had Brody in trouble and seemed like they might score an upset until Brody finally made a needed tag to Hansen. The match ended when Hansen pinned Douglas via Brazos Valley backbreaker.
- As a result, since he is a champion whose tag team did not advance to the Elite Eight, Lynn will have to defend the Brass Knuckles Championship on Day 4/Sunday of the MLW Memorial Cup.
Match #4: World Tag Team Champions Rock N' Roll Express defeated Stars and Stripes in a Second Round match
- a really good match and, at least so far, the best tag match in all of Day 2!
- both teams came very close to winning this match multiple times but it was the Rock N' Roll Express who prevailed when Robert Gibson pinned Del Wilkes following DOUBLE DROPKICK.
