MAIN EVENT – NWA RING OF HEROES CHAMPIONSHIP
“FILTHY” TOM LAWLOR (Best of Indies) beat Champion BJ WHITMER (ROH) (Mgr. “THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS” KEVIN SULLIVAN) (ROH) by Disqualification. Whitmer appeared to have retained the belt. However, LegendsMania Commissioner Coach John Heath came to the ring and said the fans watching on the Legends Network deserved better than that. He then ordered a squadron of workers to bring the Steel Cage to the ring, saying the match will continue inside the cage, effectively negating Kevin Sullivan. Whitmer tried to take the belt and leave, but Heath told him in no uncertain terms that, if Whitmer tried to leave the cage before the match restart, Heath had the authority to strip Whitmer of the title and hand it to Lawlor. The match restarted, and it ended when Whitmer beat Lawlor with an Inverted DDT to retain the belt. Heath then congratulated Whitmer and told him he will defend the belt on Sunday at LegendsMania. Heath then said, “Here is your opponent.” Out came “Limitless” Keith Lee. As the two had a staredown in the ring, Heath said, “And, your OTHER opponent…” Down the aisle came Adam Cole. Whitmer and Sullivan, Lee and Cole started a four-way brawl as TV time expired.
