TV Main Event

Bout #4:
Hawk (w/ Animal) vs. Al Costello (w/ Roy Heffernan)
- These two tag team specialists locked up and Hawk showed that he was more powerful that Costello. The momentum went back and forth during the early part of the bout, but Costello locked on some submission attempts. Hawk was having none of that and used his power again to take the advantage. Hawk used a huge gut-wrench suplex and went for the pin, when Roy jumped up on the apron. The ref went to deal with Roy instead of counting, as Animal pulled Roy off the apron. They started to brawl, as the ref tried to restore order outside the ring by the seconds. Hawk went over to grab the ref, giving Al the chance to clip Hawk's knee. Al stomped on Hawk's leg and then locked in his Marble Bar Leglock at 27:09. Hawk had to tap-out, as he grabbed his knee. Animal and Al got into the ring and a huge brawl ensued, as the show went off the air.


After the TV show ended

All four men battled in the ring, as security and officials started to pour out of the back to restore order. As other wrestlers (The Masked Marvel, The NY Hitman, & Masked Man X) came out, The Kangaroos left the ring. The LOD was so mad, that they laid waste to the 3 wrestlers who had come out to break things up. Each had a Devastation Device delivered to them, as the fans went ballistic.

Main Event
Bout #4:
Roy Heffernan (w/ Al Costello) vs. Hawk (w/ Animal)
