Location: Bankcorpsouth Center, Tupelo, Mississippi
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay
Shane Helms vs. Kaz Hayashi
Flair gives Sanders Konnan tonight.
Team Canada comes out with Storm picking Elix Skipper to face Cat.
The Cat vs. Elix Skipper
Cat superkicks him to start but Skipper pops up and starts hitting on Miss Jones. At least he has good taste. Skipper takes him to the floor for a whip into the barricade. Back in and Cat starts firing off the kicks, followed by a running ax handle and the Feliner for the quick pin.
Post match Storm offers a distraction so Mike Awesome can take Cat out.
Totally Buff is ready for Kronik. They should be after facing them so many times.
Chavo Guerrero asks Wall to take out Rey Mysterio tonight. Hugh Morrus is heard laughing.
Flair tells Scott Steiner to worry about Nash and ignore everything else.
Lex Luger vs. Brian Adams
Lex stays on the bad back with a suplex and even more posing. Now we go old school with a bearhug until Adams powers out and hits a backbreaker of his own. Cue Buff Bagwell but Adams drops him with a single right hand. The full nelson slam puts Luger away clean in a bit of a surprise.
Bryan Clark runs in for the post match save.
Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. The Wall
Rating: D. So to clarify, the greatest cruiserweight of all time has to get beaten down for five minutes and then saved by Hugh Morrus to set up a match between Morrus and Wall at SuperBrawl. Naturally they had no choice but to put these feuds together and have Mysterio look like a goon whose career was saved. At least he won though and that helps a lot. It was a rough way to get there but the right guy won and that helps a lot.
Mysterio and Morrus clean house post match.
Kwee Wee vs. ???
A few right hands give Kwee Wee a pin.
Kwee Wee vs. Johnny Dodson
Kwee Wee beats him down with ease and ends Dodson with a piledriver in just over a minute. It would be nice for this to go somewhere but I doubt Kwee Wee is considered important enough to get such attention.
Konnan vs. Mike Sanders
Jeff Jarrett/Rick Steiner vs. Insiders
Scott Steiner, Totally Buff and Kronik come out for the standoff to end the show.
