The bell rings and they lock up, Mil Mascaras grabs Manson in a headlock and brings him over with a hip throw then a drop toehold. He has Cactus Jack in the surfboard, he transitions to a texas cloverleaf before letting Manson to his feet. Cactus Jack Manson asks for a test of strength but Mil Mascaras gets the better end of it, dropping Cactus Jack down to one knee, he takes Manson down in a headscissors and keeps it locked in on the mat. Manson gets to his feet but Mascaras takes him down again, then allowing Manson to his feet. Cactus Jack Manson finally gets some form of offense with a headlock but it's short-lived, he's sent off the ropes, Mil Mascaras hits him with a running headbutt and a dropkick sends Cactus through the ropes. He chases Gary Michael Cappetta around ringside, then backs up, falling over a chair. Cactus Jack finally gets back in the ring but Mascaras puts him in a full nelson. Cactus Jack backs into the corner and Mascaras has to break, Manson gets in an elbow shot and a right hand in the corner but Mil Mascaras goes right back on the attack.


The referee warns Mil Mascaras about the closed fist, Cactus and Mascaras go back to a test of strength, again Cactus Jack gets the short end of it, Mascaras trips him and rolls him into a boston crab with his knee in Manson's back. A fan chants “boring!” which is the most we've heard of a crowd reaction. Cactus Jack makes it to the ropes and almost takes out a cameraman. He backs Mascaras into the corner, he kicks Mascaras in the gut, and clubs him across the back. Mascaras' head is sent into the top turnbuckle. Cactus Jack dumps Mascaras out of the ring and hits a rib breaker on the floor, he sets up for the Cactus Jack elbow but Mil Mascaras thinks “fuck that bump” legging it into the ring, Cactus Jack realizes that Mascaras has moved, he turns around into a dropkick and his head hits the concrete with a sickening thud. “Cactus Jack is dead!” - Jim Cornette. Cactus Jack is able to get back to the apron at the count of 8, Mil Mascaras hits him with a suplex back into the ring without leaving his own feet, then climbs to the top turnbuckle. He hits a flying crossbody from the top and covers Cactus Jack for the win.


WINNER: MIL MASCARAS


This was a short match purely to get Mil Mascaras over for a local Latino crowd and he phoned his performance in. Cactus Jack shortened his career for this match and Mascaras couldn't go down on a suplex or give Cactus Jack Manson any reasonable offense? Cactus Jack put his all into it and it was just a shame it wasn't even close to reciprocated. Most of this rating is for Foley..– As a match it's * but personally, I'd rate it 3/10



Missy Hyatt announces that she's Jim Ross' new co-host on NWA Main Event before Cactus Jack Manson seems to be going after the band in attendance, brawling with the drummer.
