The stacked card featured a mix of established stars and up-and-comers, with some truly memorable moments.
Match 1: Abdullah The Butcher vs. SATA...yarn Abdullah The Butcher, a wrestling icon with decades of experience, faced off against the relatively unknown SATA...yarn in what turned out to be an intense, hard-hitting contest. Despite being significantly larger and more experienced, SATA...yarn gave it his all, but ultimately fell victim to The Butcher's relentless attacks. Time: 5:10.

Both teams showcased their impressive aerial skills, but it was the veteran combo that ultimately emerged victorious. Time: 13:37.
Match 3: Sam Grecaras & Dos Caras Jr. vs. Kaz Hayashi & Taiyo Kea In what proved to be an evenly matched contest, the experienced pairing of Sam Grecaras and Dos Caras Jr. went toe-to-toe with the young, hungry duo of Kaz Hayashi and Taiyo Kea. Despite their differences in age and experience, the younger team pushed the established stars to the limit before ultimately falling short. Time: 12:20.
Match 4: Hiroshi Hase & Satoshi Kojima vs. Kevin Randleman & Mark Coleman The tag team match that stole the show thus far was the clash between the rugged, no-nonsense combo of Hiroshi Hase and Satoshi Kojima against the formidable, yet unpredictable pairing of Kevin Randleman and Mark Coleman. This hard-hitting, back-and-forth battle saw both teams trading blows and near-falls before Hase and Kojima emerged victorious in a grueling 16:49 effort.
Match 5: Shinya Hashimoto vs. Josh Dempsey In what was touted as an undercard match, the talented Shinya Hashimoto took on the relatively unknown Josh Dempsey. Despite being at a significant size disadvantage, Dempsey gave it his all before ultimately succumbing to Hashimoto's superior technical grappling skills. Time: 8:01.
Match 6: Bill Goldberg vs. Rick Steiner The main event of the evening saw two of professional wrestling's most iconic figures, Bill Goldberg and Rick Steiner, clash in a singles match that lived up to its lofty billing.

Match 7: Bob Sapp vs. Great Muta In what proved to be an intriguing clash of styles, the behemoth Bob Sapp faced off against the legendary luchador Great Muta in what turned out to be a wild and unpredictable ride.
