Sparks. Lasers. Smoke. Explosions. And a pulsing theme...
Yeah, I get it, you're an outcast, always under attack,
Always coming in last, bringing up the past,
No one owes you anything!
I think you need a shotgun blast, a kick in the ass,
So paranoid, watch your back!
Oh my, here we go...
The Road Warriors (with "Precious" Paul Ellering) vs. Barry Windham & Mike Rotunda (with JJ Dillon)
Referee: Dick Woehrle
* The match opened with the Road Warriors utterly dominating Rotunda.
* It didn't take long for Hawk to draw blood from Rotunda's nose with a ferocious clothesline across his face.
* JJ Dillon provided a distraction after a POWER SLAM by Animal, allowing Rotunda to get to his corner for a desperation tag.
* Barry Windham turned things around for Dillon's Horsemen, taking the fight to Animal and scoring a near-fall after a SUPERPLEX.
* A CLAW HOLD was broken up by Hawk, who dragged Animal to bis corner for a tag.
* Things soon devolved into a four-man brawl, and Dick Woehrle was about to throw the match out, but the bell sounded before he had a chance.
NO WINNER: Time limit draw (20:00) **
Interview at the Announce Set
* Lance Russel welcomed the CWA World Heavyweight Champion, "Handsome" Harley Race and his manager Bobby "the Brain" Heenan to the set.
* Speaking for the champ, the Brain protested Race's "mystery opponent" at Last Stand in Salt Lake City.
* Threatening legal action, Heenan quickly changed his tune when "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers made his way to the set.
* Heenan: "Hey! How ya doin', pal?"
* Ignoring the manager, Rogers jabbed his finger into Race's chest.
* He promised Race that oncet Last Stand in Salt Lake City was over, he would be coming for the title.
Stan "the Lariat" Hansen vs. "Rock & Roll Express" Marty Jannetty
Referee: Joey Marella
* Hansen made short work of the despised Jannetty, opening things up with a hanging vertical suplex.
* Jannetty had barely staggered to his feet when Hansen charged.
* One LARIAT later, and the match was over.
WINNER: Stan "the Lariat" Hansen via pinfall (1:02) --
The Fantastics vs. The Sheepherders
Referee: Danny Davis
* Prior to this match, Gary Michael Cappetta announced that the winners would face the Midnight Express for the World Tag Team Titles at Last Stand in Salt Lake City.
* The match almost ended in the first minute, as Tommy Rogers caught Luke Williams with a TOMIKAZE, but Butch Miller made the save.
* Rogers tagged in his partner Bobby Fulton, who went right to the top rope.
* Fulton flew form the top turnbuckle while Rogers took out a charging Butch Miller with a dropkick.
* Fulton crashed into Williams and put him down for the three-count.
WINNERS: The Fantastics via pinfall (2:30) ½
Curt Hennig vs. Tully Blanchard (with JJ Dillon)
Referee: Morgan Dollar
* Similar to the last match, Gary Michael Cappetta announced that the winner would take on "Television Champion" Randy "Macho Man" Savage at Last Stand in Salt Lake City.

WINNER: Curt Hennig via pinfall (4:48) *
"American Dragon" Bryan Danielson vs. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase (with Virgil)
Referee: James Beard
* Gary Michael Cappetta was making introductions when DiBiase attacked Danielson from behind.
* The match was intense from the opening bell, with both man trading rights, lefts, knife edge chops, and knees.
* Danielson began to wear his opponent down, then dropped him with a discus elbow, only to have Virgil break up the pinfall.
* The American Dragon locked on his CATTLE MUTILIATION and DiBiase submitted almost immediately...
* ...but James Beard was admonishing Virgil, and saw nothing.
* Danielson worked over his opponent until DiBiase ducked a clothesline and answered with one of his own.
* DiBiase hit a backbreaker and a power slam, then the MILLION DOLLAR DREAM.
* Danielson struggled for a moment...then powered his way to the ropes, forcing a break.
* A desperation roundhouse kick from Danielson caught DiBiase across the eyes, drawing blood from one of them.
* DiBiase overestimated his opponent's level of fatigue, and a falling fist drop missed its mark.
* The American Dragon went back on the attack, attempting another CATTLE MUTILATION, but DiBiase squirmed free.
* Danielson worked DiBiase over in the corner before hoisting him to the top rope for a belly-to-back superplex, and he hit all of it.
* James Beard dove into position to make the count, but the bell rang before he could even get to one.
