Matt Rhodes and Brian Thompson hype the New Orleans Fight Club going one on one tonight as John Saxon takes on his former partner Steve Anthony, and also we will have Titan taking on Tarver again with the International Heavyweight Championship on the line.

Steve Anthony comes to the ring and starts talking to John Saxon. He tries to get out of having the match but then changes his mind and says he will get in the ring for the match. Saxon doesn't look like himself. The bell rings and Anthony rolls out of the ring. He gets on the mic again and says he loves Saxon and takes a countout while walking away.

^Storyline advancement. That's what I'm going to keep telling myself as I try not to be angry about the lack of a match here.

Colonel Parker talks with Boyd Bradford backstage. Parker tells Bradford he has today to produce Rich Rude or the whole family is fired. Bradford says they won't produce Rich Rude until he strips Genetic Perfection of the titles and return them to the Hounds of Hell. Parker says instead he'll book the title rematch todayin exchange for the return of Rich Rude. Simple booking and bad acting on the part of the weasel Bradford.

Tarver takes on Titan with the International Title on the line. Lily tries to interfere in the match and help Titan but it backfires and she has to jump in the ring and DDT the ref to stop the three count. She jumps out of the ring and rings the bell to declare the match over. The match is apparently over.

^Again, storyline advancement despite ANOTHER messed up finish. I'm getting sick of these endings over and over each week on TCW. The wrestling was halfway decent here for two big men, and I'll use that for my optimism.

Lance Hoyt comes to the ring and he's walking with someone who has a sheet over their head. Hoyt says the Empire is about to get what's coming to them as he's brought them a little gift. He calls out the Empire to get their gift. They come out and talk and then remove the sheet hesitantly. It's the former Empire member, King Shane Williams. Hoyt and Williams brawl with the Empire until the Empire retreats. Fun segment for storyline purposes. Shane Williams gets on the mic after the brawl and cuts a promo about the King being back in TCW as well as the Empire going down.

Vordell Walker is interviewed backstage about his feud with Sigmon. He says no one has been able to get the job done on him, and it's announced that Vordell Walker will face Sigmon next week on TCW. Good intensity for Vordell.

The Hounds of Hell challenge Genetic Perfection in the main event. Kincaid and Bradford come out and taunt Genetic Perfection with Rich Rude tied up. The Hounds take advantage and finish off Alan Steel with a double team to win back the tag team titles. The Hounds celebrate with the titles to end the show.

^Good tag team match to close out the show, and good way to keep the rivalry going. Overall, the show was just average for me because it was two matches in an hour with only one having a proper finish. I like a lot of the storyline advancement, and if this were a two hour show then I would say there is more room for it. But since it's not a two hour show, they need to focus a tad less on the scripting and a little more on delivering the action.

Thanks for reading!
