MMP Tag Team Championship Match
UPSTANDING CITIZENS (C) vs. HYOGA & THE MYSTERY PARTNER

The champions were introduced first, accompanied by Ponch and Michael. As Virus headed down to ringside, Joker stopped to taunt an obese fan sitting along the runway. While his attention was diverted, a man in a clown mask hopped over the safety rail on the other side and nailed Joker with a clothesline from behind. Tossing the mask away, Hyoga was revealed as the attacker. Rolling Joker back into the ring, Hyoga looked to be handling things early on as his mystery partner made his way out, wearing an emerald green cloak to disguise his features. The partner stepped up onto the apron as Hyoga followed Joker in, but when he did so he was met with a thumb to the face by the former midwestern champion, who nailed a DDT before dragging him towards his corner and tagging in Virus. As he stepped through the ropes, Virus pointed up to the giant video screen where a tape of Hyoga's match against Mr. Beumont from the Chaos on the Coast PPV began to play. With the "Beat the Sh*t out of Hyoga Festival" playing in the background, Virus jumped out to the floor and wishboned Hyoga around the ring post, pulling his legs back and jamming the post into Hyoga's groin area. With things under control, Joker went over to his opponents' corner and tried to draw the partner into the ring, but the partner stood solemnly beside the buckle with the tag rope in hand. While Virus taunted the fans about ringside, Hyoga slowly pulled himself together and nailed Joker with an avalanche while the leader of The Family was trying to lure the partner into the ring. Hyoga then went to work on Joker, hitting a backbreaker before dropping the leg across Joker's throat. Pulling Joker up, Hyoga nailed a German suplex, holding it in a bridge for a two count before Virus interrupted the count with a kick to the top of the head. With things looking shaky for the champions, Ponch jumped up on the ring apron and started harassing the partner while Virus pulled Joker to the corner to make the tag. As Virus came in, Hyoga also made a tag to his mystery partner, who came in via the top rope, nailing Virus with a flying headbutt. Virus went down and the partner removed his hood, revealing the mystery partner as Captain Patrick O'Conner!! The crowd errupted at the sight of the leader of The Untouchables in the ring. O'Conner nailed Virus with a scoop slam before going to the top rope. The Captain came off with a flying legdrop, but Michael reached into the ring and pulled Virus out of the way, causing O'Conner to land tailbone-first on the canvas. The two men in the ring pulled themselves together and began brawling in the middle of the ring when suddenly, from the crowd, came The Ryno! Brandishing a baseball bat, Ryno pulled Joker off the ring apron, shouting "I am not a washup!!" at him before winding up for a shot with the bat. As Ryno reared back, Ponch grabbed the bat and slapped Ryno on the backside, causing the former world champion to turn around and nail Ponch with the bat before delivering the Ryno Charge through the timekeeper's table! The crowd burst into cheers once again at Ryno's actions as Virus and O'Conner spilled out to the floor. In the ring Hyoga charged at Joker, who was back on the apron, but Joker spun around and caught Hyoga with a right hand that dropped Hyoga like a ton of bricks. Apparently slipping something back into his trunks, Joker quickly jumped into the ring and grabbed the referee's attention before applying the Last Laugh on Hyoga. The ref asked if Hyoga wanted to surrender, and when he got no answer, he called for the bell. Virus and Joker had retained the titles, but Virus seemed oblivious as he and the Captain battled all the way back to the dressing room.

Wood: The Upstanding Citizens have succesfully defended the tag team titles, but I don't think anyone in this building expected to see O'Conner come out here as Hyoga's mystery partner. It was nice to see Virus and Joker putting the belts on the line against a top ranked opponent for a change instead of sticking to unproven opposition as they have done in the past.

Brewer: I have to agree with you there, Wood. I thought Virus was going to dump in his shorts when he saw O'Conner pull that hood off. Those two men were rumored to be meeting for the world title here tonight, but it looks like that showdown will have to wait until wednesday night and the dangerous game match.

Wood: Our third and final title match is coming up next. A few weeks ago Steve Simon was dealt his first and only loss in singles competition here in the MMP. The man that beat him was Psychotic Sam. Tonight those two men do battle once again with Simon looking to avenge that defeat while Sam looks to capture the television championship. Let's go back to the ring.

MMP Television Championship Match
"STUNNING" STEVE SIMON vs. PSYCHOTIC SAM

SSS made his way out first with Kristin, wearing the TV title belt around his waist and a look of supreme confidence on his face. That confidence, however, wouldn't last long. When Sam's music started to play, the challenger and Mike made their way down to ringside, circling around to the opposite side as CWO members Mr. Beumont, Brick Stevens, and China Town Lee then started coming towards the ring. Coming through the crowd from one side was The Joker's Child and Ponch and from the other side it was Welfare William and Hobo Richard. Within moments, Family members had surrounded every side of the ring. When Joker gave the signal, all nine men rushed Simon, surrounding him and allowing Joker to nail him with a steel chair shot across the back. Simon went down hard and Sam applied the Psycho's Punishment while the other eight men took cheap shots on Simon. The ref called for the bell right away and gave the decision to Simon by DQ, but that didn't stop The Family. With Simon in nearly unconscious in Sam's hold, Joker pulled an electric razor and shaved off a portion of SSS' hair, the same as he had done to Kristin several weeks ago. Having secured his trophy, Joker called Sam off and The Family made their way back to the dressing room, leaving Kristin to help her man.

Wood: Steve Simon retains the TV title here under controversial circumstances, but I wouldn't want to be around when Simon comes around and realizes that Joker did to him here tonight.

Brewer: Joker's Child is really going overboard with this bizarre fascination he has with other people's hair. Some day soon Joker is going to have to answer for his actions, and after months of facing nobody but the CWO, I don't know how he'll react when he has to go one on one with a legitimate wrestler. I think it'll be a real shock to the system for the clown.

Wood: Well, folks, it's time for our main event. Two men we've already seen tonight will be in action up next. For the first time ever, The Ryno meets Daark one on one. There are no titles on the line here, but the bragging rights that come from beating either of these men can certainly do a lot for a man's reputation. Let's go back to the ring for our main event.

THE RYNO vs. DAARK

Daark came to the ring first, accompanied by his usual hooded Cult minions. As the minions took up their position around the ring, The Ryno came running down to the ring even before his music and entrance video started to play. Sliding quickly into the ring, Ryno nailed Daark with a spear that rocked the Cult member back against the turnbuckle. A flurry of punches and kicks from the "Hardcore Sonuvabitch" put Daark to the mat, drawing a rousing ovation from the crowd as more minions started coming down to the ring. As the odds started building up against Ryno, DNL, Zane, Charles, and The Upstarts all came running down from the back and tore into the group of Cult followers around the ring, causing the erruption of a massive brawl on the outside of the ring. On the inside, Ryno nailed Daark with a flying lariat off the ropes, but when he pulled his opponent back to his feet, Daark met him with a rake of the face, blinding Ryno temporarily, just long enough to swing the momentum of the match. Nailing Ryno with a series of thrusts to the throat, Daark slowed the big man down, forcing him to draw deeper for each breath. After taking Ryno down with a spinning heel kick off the ropes, Daark then used the middle rope as a springboard, hitting Ryno with a double kneedrop to the chest that knocked the wind out of the native of Toledo, Ohio. Climbing to the top rope, Daark waited for Ryno to get back to his feet before diving off and driving Ryno face first into the canvas with a flying bulldog. Daark, realizing the importance of the match, stayed on Ryno, delivering a series of kicks to the body and hitting a DDT before going to the top rope once again. This time, Daark came off with a flying splash, covering Ryno for a two count before the big man could get his shoulder up off the canvas. Keeping the pace up-tempo, Daark went to the top rope once again, but it proved to be a case of going to the well once too often. As Daark came off with a diving headbutt, Ryno moved out of the way, causing the Cult member to land face first on the canvas. On the outside the battle continued, with more Cult minions coming down to help out the cause. Seeing what was going on on the floor, Ryno pulled Daark up off the canvas and lifted him up in a gorilla press slam, dropping him over the top rope and onto the battle that raged around ringside. Just as Daark was getting back to his feet, Ryno bounced off the far ropes and dove over the top with a suicide dive, slamming Daark back against the safety rail. He then rammed Daark head first into the steel ring steps before rolling him back into the ring. With the crowd on it's feet, Ryno slowly pulled Daark up and nailed the Ryno Charge before covering him for the three count. The ref raised Ryno's hand in victory, something that had been a long time coming for the former world champion. Grabbing a seat on the top turnbuckle to watch the fight on the floor, Ryno cheered on his associates, but never saw a man coming in from the crowd. The man was wearing a Bootlegger mask, similar to the one Ryno had worn to the Syndicate/Untouchables match a few weeks ago. Sliding into the ring under the bottom rope behind Ryno, the man jammed a taser gun into Ryno's ribcage, spilling him over the top rope to the floor where the Cult minions, DNL, and The Upstarts were battling it out. The man tossed the mask aside revealing The Bootlegger himself as the perpetrator as the camera fades to black.
