We open TCW with Matt Rhodes and Brian Thompson concerned over the Bradford Family kidnapping Rich Rude last week. They hype the debut of a new tag team tonight as well as the appearance of Hacksaw Jim Duggan against Prince Al Farat. The crowd chants TCW as they announce that Scott Phoenix will take on Kincaid tonight! Show time!

Greg Anthony and Tim Storm come to the ring with Matt Riviera for a tag team match. That TCW Heavyweight Title belt is humongous. The Magic Men will be their opponents(no pun there or anything). Niko and Dallas are their names. They're dressed as exotic male dancers. What the hell is this company doing? Take away the dancing gimmick and let's see if they can WRESTLE. Riviera interferes in a lengthy match to help Greg get the pinfall after a spike piledriver behind the ref's back. 

^Solid debut for the Magic Men in their underwear style outfits, but the TCW Champion and his chubby Empire buddy dominated her. Great action to kick off the show, but this interference thing over and over on TCW is starting to get old.

Boyd Bradford has sent in a video and we will get to see it right now. It's Boyd Bradford demanding the Tag Team Titles be given back to the Hounds of Hell. They've got Rude tied up and he spits in Boyd's face. Boyd slaps him and the Hounds take turns giving him shots. Crazy and ridiculous overacting here, but at least they're following through with the angle.

Genetic Perfection confronts Colonel Parker backstage. He says the group has until next week to produce Rich Rude or the whole Bradford Family will be gone from TCW. Alan Steel is angry and wants something done now. Parker says his hands are tied because Bradford isn't here this week.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan takes on Prince Al Farat. Duggan and Farat wrestle an odd match where Duggan gets the win after a charging clothesline. 

^Yup, a clothesline won the match for the legend Duggan. Nothing taken away from Duggan, but the guy doesn't do jack in the ring. Not an impressive wrestling match here.

John Saxon is interviewed about what Steve Anthony said last week. Saxon walks away from the interview without saying anything.

Scott Phoenix defeats Kincaid in a highly competitive matchup when he avoids a double stomp and a corner splash before landing Phoenix rising(disaster kick) for the three count.

^So the former TCW Heavyweight Champion defeats the Jr. Heavyweight Champion in a non-title match? Interesting booking. The match was back and forth and delivered on all levels. THAT was great *** action!

The full Empire comes to the ring dressed up. Riviera talks too much and asks Lance Hoyt to come to the ring. Hoyt comes to the ring and Riviera runs his mouth and then tries to convince Lance Hoyt to join the Empire and forfeit his Heavyweight Title shot. Hoyt speaks and Greg Anthony gets pissed at him. Hoyt tells him to shut up and declines joining the Empire as he came to TCW for one reason only and that's the Heavyweight Title. Hoyt gets beat down by them. Storm gets on the mic and yells at Hoyt while he's down.

^Nice way to showcase the dominance of the Empire and hype the upcoming Heavyweight Title match. Good show overall, but that Duggan match was almost painful to watch. Thanks for reading!
