Dino Bravo & Greg Gagne defeat The Masked Assassins w/ George Cannon.
The Assassins gain an early advantage in this tag team encounter, after Cannon distracts the referee and Greg Gagne, allowing the Assassin in the ring to attack Gagne from behind.  Greg finds himself stuck in the wrong corner for the next several minutes, where the Assassins constantly double-team Greg.  Bravo finally has had enough, and charges into the ring.  This leads to an all-out brawl with all four men in the ring.  During the melee, Greg Gagne nails one of the Assassins with a dropkick, sending him out of the ring and Gagne and Bravo double-team the other Assassin, whipping him into the ropes and then dropping him with a double clothesline.  Gagne then waits for the Assassin to get up, connects with a dropkick, and covers him for the 1,2,3!

LUMBERJACK MATCH:
Johnny Powers defeats BlackJack Mulligan.
After the Double Count-Out last Friday night in Pittsburgh, Johnny Powers asked for this LumberJack match, to make sure things are kept inside the ring.  The match goes back and forth for the most part.  Mulligan is the first to be thrown to the floor, and he's quickly tossed back in.  A moment later, Powers is sent through the ropes, and is tossed back in as well.  Late in the match, Bulldog Brower, one of the lumberjacks, gets involved, he trips Powers as he comes off the ropes.  This leads to a brawl between the lumberjacks on the floor.  Mulligan turns his attention to what's going on on the floor, giving Powers a chance to schoolboy Mulligan, rolling him up from behind!  Mulligan is caught completely off-guard and ends up getting pinned for the 3-count!
 
Powers celebrates, but Mulligan, irrate over what went down, attacks Powers from behind and pounds him into the mat!  Mulligan locks on the Claw, but several of the lumberjacks jump into the ring to put a stop to that before Mulligan can do any further damage to Powers!  Browers gets into the ring and tries to go after Powers too, but Sailor Art Thomas, another lumberjack, is there to put a stop to that!
