A battle of two strange forces started of Slam and it was highly entertaining. After Light entered on a cable he choke slammed Heart onto the concrete floor. On the outside he hit a few european upper cuts and a body slam onto the steel steps. Dark Light seemed in control early on as he rolled Dragon Heart back in the ring he scored with a big boot to the face of the Irish whip followed by a drop knee...he then started to choke Dragon Heart senseless...however Dragon Heart who appeared to be reeling for most of this contest used a quick bridge pin and almost got a three. This was the moment Dragon Heart had been waiting for as he used a series of aerial moves to were down his bigger opponent...after a big slam he set up Dark Light for the 'dragon bomb', but Light reversed the hold scoring with the 'fallen one', however to the shock of everyone Dragon Heart kicked out! Dark Light looked confused as he ran his hand through his silver hair he tried an irish whip of the ropes, but Dragon Heart ducked under his boot to the face scoring the three count after hitting a high cross body. The fans booed Dragon Heart, but the potential this man has is amazing.
Damned Yankee def Johnny Victory by count out
A heated feud seemed to be on the cards last week as Victory cost Yankee his Hardcore title, tonight they would settle their differences in the ring in a sanctioned match. No gimmicks for a change just two bruisers trying to make a point. Victory started off in control with a side headlock as Yankee tried to force him into the ropes, Victory quickly countered with a bulldog and kept a firm hold of the headlock moving around Yankee turning it into a camel clutch. Yankee seemed in trouble, but his never give up attitude wouldn't allow him to quit, so Victory went to work on the legs with a figure four and a few shots to the knees. Yankee was in big trouble now, his break coming on Victory ducking too early on an intended back body drop of an irish whip. Yankee hitting a spinning neckbreaker and pounded away with boots to the back and face. With Yankee in control cue Scrooge, he came down to ringside cane and all and started picking on an old lady in the crowd calling her 'smelly' he then challenged her to a fight and pushed her over. Yankee had seen enough he stormed out of the ring, but it was merely a ploy by Scrooge the old lady was in fact DJ Scratch dressed up! As Yankee looked over 'her' Scratch kicked him in the lower regions and Scrooge nailed Yankee with his cane over the back of his head! Victory realizing he could win be count out wasn't happy and ran out after Scratch delivering the 'victory dance' in the process! Scrooge retreated backstage as Victory tried to get Yankee back in the ring, but Killer and Jimmy Simpson appeared with chairs nailing Victory from behind! Victory was pounded with chairs the referee letting it go to many peoples surprise! Victory was badly hurt as he lay motionless...Yankee limped back to the ring and won by count out.
Italian Love Machine def Jimmy Simpson by DQ
Italian Love Machine was ready to prove his worth to the world and not just to the ladies he claims to satisfy every night. Jimmy Simpson however was in a bad mood picking up the microphone and claiming he didn't care about the win he'd rather make an 'impact'. Taking a chair he nailed Italian Love Machine with it, spat on him and walked out to a chorus of boos.

Management def Fallen Angel (Law and Order Assault course match)
This match would be hell! Specifically designed by Law and Order a few weeks ago it would put these two men to the ultimate test. It again proved that the Management was a wrestler and not just the owner. As they started off in the steel cage Fallen Angel was jumped by Scally and Invader as they laid into him with double teams, Management took a different approach he immediately tried to climb the cage making it half way up! Only to be brought crashing down by Franny J one of his opponents late on in the week in Hard Steel. Angel was in trouble obviously the Firm had been practicing during the week at double teaming, as Invader nailed the 'mat invasion', Angel appeared out for the count. Management continued to have the better of the success as Franny J and Heavy Metal seemed somewhat confused on how to work as a team against him, as Management ducked Franny J's right hand he caught Metal, Metal and Franny J who would also meet at Hard Steel got into it as they did the Management climbed the cage to the outside. Angel was slow to recover from the 'mat invasion', as Management made his dissent to face Night Hawk, still a bit hurt form the brief beating Franny J and Heavy Metal had laid on. Angel did make his recovery how ever. As Invader and Scally laid into him, Dark Light dropped from the rafters! A man who faces all three in the hardcore match delivered two massive European uppercuts to Invader and Scally!!! As The other Firm members could only watch on in horror, he slumped Fallen Angel a battered a bruised man over his shoulder dropping him rather harshly onto Assistant! Who's side was Dark Light on? Well he was obviously thinking of the Hardcore title as he was pulled back up via his cable to the rafters. Management was now in trouble, Night Hawk pounded on him using tables, the railings amongst other tings to perform moves off of. Angel was clutching his ribs as he battled with the Assistant, but as the former IC champ came to realise he wasn't the same wrestler he had been a few years ago, out of shape and too much out of ring action meant despite dishing out a slight beating one big DDT from Angel had him out for the count. Angel moved around and started to make his way under the torrid barbwire, the match had slipped away from Management who was in trouble with Night Hawk, however Hawk's dare devil moves would prove to be his undoing as he jumped off the side of the cage onto Management, Management moved and Hawk hit the floor, The Management hit the 'firm finish' knocking Hawk out. It was now a race under the barb wire both men ripping their bodies open, blood pouring everywhere it was a war! Angel got out of the barbwire tunnel first only to met by a few boots to head courtesy of Pimp In, but fought back as he and Pimp In exchanged rights, Pimp In went for the 'money shot', but Angel blocked it hitting the 'angel death drop' from the top of the ramp onto the floor to the right of it a good 10 foot drop! Pimp In lay rolling in agony clutching his back, many were surprised he was still moving though. Angel started to climb the ladder slowly, he had been in a war. Then to everyone's shock surprise Phenom made his way down to ringside, he had returned to the T.F.W.F.! The former crowd favorite pushed the ladder over and threw Angel off the stage! He then produced a set of wire clippers and cut away the Management reviving him from his beating he set the ladder back up and jumped of the stage hitting Angel and beating him and Pimp In with a knuckle duster. A groggy Management climbed the ladder touching the necessary finishing button to have the win before collapsing back down the ladder a bloody mess.
Ray Rush/Enigma and Tremere/Ultimate Scally are both counted out
The Ultimate Hardcore team took on two high flyers in the form of Enigma the European champion and Ray Rush. Rush and Tremere re-newed their rivalry from the ECHA Proving Grounds, As Rush had the crowd on their feet hitting a hurricana and a high flipping drop kick. Tremere applied a side headlock and made the tag to Scally who didn't have any problems pounding on Rush, hitting a stalling suplex and a few power slams and when the ref turned his back he also got a few bites in! Rush was in trouble, but a glimmer of hope was restored after five minutes of pounding he and Tremere connected hitting each other with clotheslines...as Tremere made the tag to Scally, Rush hurled his body over to Enigma and the tag was made. Enigma went crazy! He nailed dropkicks, clotheslines, slams, hurricanas as he got the crowd to their feet! Rush recovered and both simultaneously threw Scally and Tremere hitting drop kicks to the outside on them a kick high five between them they both bounded off the ropes hitting high cross bodies! Rush and Enigma then pounded on the faces of their opponents, but not for long coming down to ringside was the Management's lady Colleen she flashed the referee who was naturally distracted! In the meantime Law and Order clobbered Rush and Enigma with his military cane!!! He then ran to ringside and escorted Miss. Russell backstage trying to revive Tremere along the way, but even the two king's of Hardcore couldn't muster the strength to make it back before the count. A double count out, but after the match Tremere and Scally beat Rush and Enigma with weapons from Tremere's bag of tricks.
Ling-Ator and A.D. Fighter (loser leaves fed), both pin each other Management settles that both should leave
Nobody really cared about this match and as both men made their way to the ring they received some boos. A.D. Fighter shoved Ling-ator the big man retaliated with a shove knocking Fighter out of the ring. The crowd gave him a bit of a pop. The match was completely dominated by Ling-Ator as he pummeled them back and forth. Mid way through the match, Huggsy Bear walked down to ringside, a man who had recently handed over the leadership to Luddite to take on the financial dealings of the Hoodlums like signing the big money deals of Hammer and Yankee. He got the microphone and claimed that he was back just to watch this match...as Ling-Ator and Fighter turned their backs, Huggsy hit them with his chair! Both men fell to the canvass with an arm on each other...with this double pin, the Management was forced to make the decision on who would leave the fed...he said they both poor wrestlers and were both out. This decision got a rather big pop from the crowd.
Warfare def Chow-Mean (contract for Warfare) by pin fall
Warfare is a massive superstar and when the T.F.W.F. had the privilege of announcing this week that if he beat Chow-Mean he would be signing a massive contract with the T.F.W.F. the chat rooms on the net, the sports columns in the paper the news headlines were all about Warfare coming to T.F.W.F. Chow-Mean however was one person who didn't care if Warfare got a contract or not, however you could see Chow-Mean was wary of the superstar. Chow-mean started off with a Japanese nerve submission move, which seemed to be taking its toll on Warfare. However the power of Warfare was evident he hit a back suplex and attached a sleeper, then he had the crowd in awe with a fabulously executed stalling suplex. Warfare was going to work, a flying lariat, a back breaker, a russian leg sweep, a pile driver he was on fire! As the crowd arose to their feet he hit 'looking for forgiveness' taking the three and signing a contract. It might not be an easy ride for Warfare with his toughest challenge to date, but expect him to be in the Heavyweight title picture soon.
TITLE-Light-Heavyweight
Crud def Tricky Flick, Night Hawk, Glen Stag
The main event of the night saw Crud putting his Light-Heavyweight title on the line under a week before Hard Steel 2000. This truly saw the dedication of the champion. It pitted his opponent at Hard Steel and two of the hottest young stars in the Light-Heavyweight circuit. Hawk started out pounding on Stag and Crud went at Flick , once you were eliminated back to the locker room, the last man left would walk out Light-Heavyweight champ. Night Hawk looked the best and most pumped of the three wrestlers scoring with a drop kick and a clothesline on each member. Crud however has taken a lot of punishment through out his life, he was not a high flyer in this high flying division he was a brawler. He went at Hawk pounding him with punches and kicks each time Hawk fought back, Crud took it one step further his never give up attitude showing through as Stag and Tricky exchanged moves in the other corner, Night Hawk hit a stunning suplex and mounted the top turnbuckle hitting the 'bird of prey' as he was certain for the pin on Crud the curtains parted and Janet along with two police officers stepped out! Night Hawk who had kidnapped her this week rose to his feet! As she took the microphone she told Nighthawk he would be arrested for his crime, Hawk tried to run, but Damned Yankee was standing there and clotheslined him! The officers arrested Hawk taking him backstage and eliminating him from the belt clash. Crud was down and out it seemed either Tricky Flick or Glen Stag would walk out the winner they went at it with Tricky getting control early hitting a slam and holding Stag down with a sleeper. The curtains parted one more time it was a massive figure which emerged later to be known as ID a bouncer from the pub Stag use to go to. As he came to the ring he cracked an ash tray over Flicks' head and Stag rolled Tricky up for the pin...it looks like Stag had the last laugh. Dean Hammer, Yankee and Luddite then rushed to ringside to go for ID, he clotheslined Yankee and Hammer into the crowd before delivering a massive chokeslam through the announcer's table on Luddite! Luddite lay motionless as ID hit him with a chair, he then did the same to Yankee and Hammer. People were in awe of the power of the former bouncer as he ripped the Hoodlums apart single handed. In the ring, Stag who was still a bit groggy went at Crud showing his array of moves and arsenal to the crowd, it appeared Stag would walk out champion. The night had one more twist though Ray Rush sped down to ringside with a bat in his hand to the screams of the crowd he clocked Stag and ID...Crud staggered to his feet, he really hadn't deserved to walk out champion, but neither did Stag as he got Stag to his feet he hit the Power of Naldo to a screaming crowd getting the three and retaining his title. As Rush was escorted backstage by security Crud looked at him and knew if he walked out champion at Hard Steel 2000 another challenger had entered the fray.
