Match 2 - IPW vs FWA All Stars 6-Man Tag: Team FWA (Zebra Kid, Paul Travell & Ross Jordan w/ 'Solid Gold' Scott Parker) defeated Team IPW (Dragon Phoenix, Paul Robinson & Max Voltage) via pinfall after a barrage of FWA finishers on Voltage in 14:42.
The FWA's Manchester Massive (Declan O'Connor & Joey Hayes) then appeared to do a 'IPW going out of business auction'. After a short while they were interrupted, and destroyed, by 'The Human Hate Machine' Dave Moralez, who proclaimed that not only are he, Jack Storm, Martin Stone and Jonny Storm "Untouchable", but so is IPW:UK!
Match 3: Hade Vansen (FWA) defeated Spud (IPW) via pinfall after the South City Driller in 14:13 - Spud's first pinfall loss in IPW in over a year and a half!
---Interval---
Dr. Dirk Feelgood (FWA) opened the second half, re-creating one of the least legendary segments in FWA history, "The Clinic". His guest would be none other than former tag partner, JC Thunder. After a tease of an appearance by their trusty sidekick "Nurse Stephanie Scope", Feelgood announced that she could not be there - but Thunder had a replacement lined up. Nurse Blok Busta (picture here: Nurse Blokbusta) was then debuted, and after a verbal joust between her... er, him, and Feelgood, Thunder stepped in and floored the Young Doctor, throwing him to the outside before celebrating and announcing his entrance to the next month's Battle Royale.
Match 4 - IPW:UK vs. FWA Title Unification Match: Robbie Brookside (FWA) vs. Andy Boy Simmonz (w/ LT Summers - IPW) went to a No Contest, after both men individually decided that they were too good for the "idiotic" FWA and IPW fans in attendance, after 16:20.
Match 5 - British Uprising 3 Re-Match: James Tighe (IPW) defeated 'The Anarchist' Doug Williams (FWA) via pinfall after two Tighetanics in 13:45.
After cheap digs all night from FWA MC Dean Ayass, 'The Hardcore One' himself (John Atkins) finally had just had enough, and speared Ayass to the ground to a massive ovation from all IPW:UK fans young and old!
Meanwhile, FWA owner Greg 'The Truth' Lambert made his way to ringside and relieved Ayass of his duties as MC for the evening, stating that he never chose Ayass as an MC and never wanted him as one. Ayass then took off his jacket & shirt seemingly armed for a fight - to reveal an IPW:UK t-shirt! Ayass then posed in the crowd with the IPW:UK fans before leaving.
Lambert now took the microphone and ran down the credentials of the FWA from start to current date, thanking Mark Sloan, Alex Shane and of course, the fans, for their help. Atkins introduced IPW:UK's main event rep, Martin Stone and Greg Lambert introduced his rep, coming out of retirement for his last ever singles match... not double hard, not triple hard, but quadrouple hard, former FWA Champion, Flash Barker!
Match 6 - IPW:UK vs. The FWA; The Loser Goes Out Of Business For Ever: Martin Stone defeated Phil 'Flash' Barker via pinfall after a third London Bridge in 22:14 after interference from Andy Boy Simmonz, Hade Vansen, Robbie Brookside, a slow count from FWA referee Steve Lynsky, and of course Greg 'The Truth' Lambert.
After the match, Barker and Stone gave touching tributes to both each other and the crowd, before leaving to much applause. When all was said and done, Greg Lambert finally climbed his way back into the ring before proceeding to sit and cry solitary for around 5 minutes...
