Brian Armstrong w/ Bob & Brad Armstrong d. Eddie Gilbert w/ Tommy & Doug Gilbert
The fans were treated to an unplanned match as the festivities kicked off. Gilbert dominated the majority of this match. As Tommy & Dough distracted the referee Gilbert would hit Brian with an illegal object. Brian was busted open. Tired of Eddie's illegal tactics, Bob & Brad attack Tommy & Doug and they brawl outside the ring. Eddie seeing the referee is distracted again uses and illegal object but Teddy Long, who was at ringside still, saw this and grabbed Eddie's hand just in time for the referee to turn around and see the object in Eddie's hand and call for the bell. (Armstrong accumalated 8 tokens and Gilbert 1 token)
