[TOP GUY TIME]

{Rocky Johnson Jr., Sean O'Haire, and Steve Austin}

The show opens up to build hype for the finale for the Von Erich Cup Tourney! It's well-produced and well packaged {4.75}

To kick off the show, Chris Harris defends against Kip Winchester. Winchester isn't in the greatest shape following the attack on him from Harris. Harris would reverse Winchester's Famouser into a Catatonic to make Defense #1 of his WCCW Texas Heritage Championship {3.5/5}

In our first Tourney Match of the night, Steve Austin takes on the younger Cody. Austin would reverse a Disaster Kick into his Lou Thesz Press, beating Cody Rhodes in a well-loved match {5/5}

The WCCW Tag Title Match was next. The newer Blackjacks couldn't keep up with the experienced Storm and Murdoch. Storm would wipe out Taylor with the Last Call Superkick for the victory. Brew Crew makes Defense #1 of their WCCW Tag team Championships {3.25/5}

Bob Holly vs Dustin Rhodes is next. Two former WCCW Champs squared off, with Dustin Rhodes pinning Holly with his Love Stealing Swinging Neckbreaker! {4.25/5}

In the next tourney match, Callous takes on Sean O'Haire. O'Haire has yet to touch the WCCW Championship, and it seems he'll have to wait as Callous took out O'Haire with a Chokeslam. {5/5}

Booker T vs Adam Pearce was everything it was expected to be, just wrestling. The match picked up around the end with Booker taking out Pearce with his Scissor Kick. {4/5}

Rocky Johnson Jr. would defeat Abdullah the Butcher very quickly, due to Abdullah's age. Despite that, the two put on a 3.75 star match. Rocky Johnson makes defense #1 of the WCCW Championship. {3.75/5}

In the main event, the finale to the Von Erich Cup! Austin and Callous went to war, with the match ending in Austin's lesser-known Stunner. {4.75/5}

After the match, Austin would cut a promo, reciting an article. He says according to Austin 3:16, he just whooped your ass! The Texas Crowd pops for the promo! {4.75/5}

At one point, Maverick caught Brodie with a stiff knee, busting the area around his eye open. Despite that, Brodie hit Maverick with a Discus Clothesline for the win. (3.25/5)​

• In the 8-man texas heritage match, it was hellacious. Winchester hit Texas with a Famouser around the end, but Harris took out Kip to pin Texas to retain his Texas Heritage Championship. (3.5/5)​

• For the main event, O'Haire was the odd man. The 3rd Wheel for the Rocky vs Steve feud. At the end, O'Haire managed to get involved after using a chair to take out Rocky. Austin would go for a Stunner, but O'Haire hit Austin with an Apocolypse onto the Chair. Before O'Haire could cover Austin, Rocky took out O'Haire. Rocky pinned Austin to retain. (5/5​
