American Kickboxer, Sexy Ace Steel and BJ Whimer went to a no contest. The match ended when all three men's shoulders were all pinned at the same time.

As both men were standing outside on the floor. American Kickboxer then readied for a dive of his own but was stopped by Blades. For his trouble, Brent gets a kick to the stomach by Kickboxer, gets thrown into the ropes and backdropped over the ropes onto Steel and Whitmer outside. If that wasn't enough, Kickboxer then readied himself on the apron and hit a springboard tumbleweed on all three men.

Jim Fannin then makes his way to the ring stating that he is leaving IWA. He went on to say that he has done everything he could possibly do in IWA except be in a position of power: manage, ring announce and even wrestle a mat classic against Dave Prazak last year. Jim then proceeded to take off his shirt to reveal another shirt underneath that simply stated "Mean & Hard". For those of you that do not know, several years back Mean Mitch Page and Rollin Hard were a tag team under the leadership of Jim Fannin. Jim goes on to say that he feels Mean Mitch Page has let him down by joining up with Mad Man Pondo. Page makes his way to the ring and appears to be considering everything that Jim has to say. Mitch then decided to give Jim a hug since it was his last show and all, but refused to let go. Mad Man Pondo came out an leveled Fannin with a shot to the head with the stop sign. A table was then set up outside and a prone Fannin was laid on top. Mean Mitch Page climbed to the second rope and nailed a Page Bomb from the second rope onto Fannin through a table to the floor.

Jerry Lynn over Classic Colt Cabana. Cabana was led to the ring by his former instructor Sexy Ace Steel. During the course of the match, referee Brent Blades was again knocked out. This time though, in an attempt to revive him, was forced to "Bond Up" as Steel dropped what appeared to be at least a half bottle of Gold Bond powder down his pants. As Cabana reached the top rope and was steadying himself to leap onto Lynn but gets thrown off the top by Ace Steel. Lynn grabs the victory with the cradle piledriver.

After the match, Dorsey made up for the loss by attacking Ian with the shackels that he carried to the ring.
