Guaranteed.
1. Exotic Adrian Street pinned Scott Casey in four seconds catching him with the Crucifix. Street immediately jumped the Cowboy and pinned him. Casey was infuriated that the referee allowed such a quick attack as the bell rang.
2. Big Van Vader took an early assault from Tommy Gilbert before using a suplex to gain the three count. Gilbert actually got a cover on the big man and kept him bouncing for a while but eventually Vader's defense was too much and his offense even more as he battered Tommy before suplexing him for the win. Vader then challenged the other Dads to face him and his partners in a six man tag match on the next show.
3. World Tag Team Champions The Bar Room Brawlers edged The Heenan Family (Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens) via countout after they survive a beating and Crusher dropped Bockwinkel on the floor with a knee drop from the ring apron. For a long time it looked like Bockwinkel and Stevens were going to win the belts as they battered down Crusher. Crusher somehow survived it and turned the tide on Stevens. Stevens tagged to Bockwinkel but Crusher tagged in Fargo who caught Bock with a chair shot and then the Atomic Drop. Crusher came back in with the Crusher Nelson and the Crusher Bolo. Stevens made the save as Bockwinkel ended up on the floor. Crusher picked up Nick and slammed him down before dropping a knee. Heenan tried to complain but met a big right hand from Fargo. Stevens tried to get his partner into the ring but Crusher dropped him before rolling into the ring himself. With no one to help him, Nick was counted out.
4. Frank Gotch bested a determined Mad Dog Vachon with the Gotch Toe Hold to retain the World Title. Mad Dog challenged Gotch to modern rules (probably to avoid an easy disqualification) and Gotch accepted. Mad Dog then dominated most of the match early. Gotch however simply would not stay down. He came back with a couple of reverse nelsons. Vachon had one last spurt of offense but Gotch eventually came back off a turnbuckle whip and then hit the Iowa Backdrop and the Toe Hold to win. After the match Butcher Vachon tried to attack but AJ Styles made the save before challenging Gotch on the next show to a Vintage Rules match. Gotch accepted.

Mornin TTX me bro! Frank Gotch is the man. So psyched to see him still as champ. Styles vs Gotch should be really interesting. And waa great to see Styles take two out of three from Danielson. Big fan of this format you're running here! |

it lets me get stuff done without having to devote myself to stuff. Still will be running traditional stuff once TNT 2 is out though.

Totally stoked for Styles vs. Gotch... Would love to see the Experimental Theater transform into the House that AJ Built!

Bob Backlund bested Harley Race after three piledrivers. Perhaps Backlund knew something for he hit three piledrivers for pin attempts and the last one finally took to give Mr. Backlund his first win in ETW.
Rob Van Dam put away Roddy Piper with the Van Terminator. Van Dam decided to shut the Rowdy One's mouth with a steel chair and then it was a war from there. Piper got in some good shots but a Five Star Frog Splash and then the Van Terminator just proved to be too much as RVD took the victory.
In the World Tag Team Title match, The Barroom Brawlers avoided an upset from The Gladiators when Crusher locked Roop in the Crusher Nelson for the submission. The Gladiators dominated most of the match but Orton and Roop just could not keep Crusher down. Fargo tagged in and got his team rolling again before Crusher came back and clamped on the Nelson. Roop submitted before anything could be done. (Roop Snake Eyes)
Frank Gotch beat AJ Styles via countout in a vintage rules match. Gotch nearly had it with the Gotch Toe Hold but Styles escaped. After a crossface from Gotch, Styles escaped by hitting the ropes and both fell hard to the floor. Gotch was dazed for a moment but quickly slipped into the ring but Styles hit his head hard on the floor and could not recover in time allowing Gotch to retain the World Title.

There may be a rematch at some point but a couple other guys are coming first and can the Bar Room Brawlers retain against the Monster Mafia?

Terrible Turk stomped Ranger Ross before putting him away with the Stranglehold. Turk was a madman here and nearly got himself disqualified twice but eventually he locked in the Stranglehold until Ross passed out.
Marty Jannetty demolished Steve Regal with the Rocker Dropper. This was all Jannetty as he quickly dropped a fist from the top rope and then the Rocker Dropper for a win in less than a minute.
Monster Mafia made a big comeback and bested The Barroom Brawlers to win the World Tag Team Titles when Monsoon pinned Fargo after a backbreaker. Albano took a big beating but he did not stay down and finally tagged in Monsoon who surprised Fargo with a quick backbreaker and cover to score the win and the belts as Crusher could not react in time.
Frank Gotch retained the World Title over The Iron Sheik when he forced Sheik to submit to the Gotch Toe Hold. Sheik got a quick start and looked like he might pull the upset but Gotch kept battling back and locked in the Toe Hold. Sheik made it to the ropes once but eventually Gotch locked it in again and forced the tap.
