STING * vs RANDY ORTON *

A great match between very equal opponents. They matched each other move for move to start the match, and no one really took control during the match up. Sting would get on a roll and then Randy would stop it.....then as Randy looked like he would take control Sting would swing the momentum in his favor. In the end it was a mistake by Sting that cost him the title........Sting sent Randy in to the turnbuckle and came charging in....Randy caught him with his knees and then hit a quick RKO to get the pin........
WINNER : Randy Orton via RKO (NEW MPW CHAMPION)
4 1/2 Stars 2 Tokens 14:35


ATTENDANCE : 4,618

NOTES :
Lane vs Sawyer : A great back and forth match that had the fans on their feet!!

Armstrong's vs Orton's : The Orton's destroy Bob in this match. Jr. and Sr. make frequent tags while Bob is stuck in the ring. The action spills to the floor and ends there......The Orton's double teamed Bob on the floor and were disqualified for their actions......

Taylor vs Anderson : Good back and forth action in this one.......Ole looked to have Taylor put away, but a game Taylor battled back to get the win in this encounter.

NEW MPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS : BOBBY EATON & STAN LANE

NOTES :
Magnum-Taylor vs Orton's : Terry took one hell of a beating in this match, as he was stuck in the ring for most of the match. Randy and Bob methodically worked Taylor over during the whole match. Magnum got in a few times and had the Orton's backing up......but They managed to keep Taylor in the ring and keep the tags between he and Magnum to a minimum.......Taylor eventually fell to a SUPERPLEX by Bob Jr.

Midnight vs Wrecking Crew : The match just got started when it ended........Referee Tommy Young called for the bell after a double team exchange by Ole and Gene.........

Rich-Dog vs Orton's : JYD and Tommy trapped Bob in the ring and worked him over......Bob never got a tag and fell after a second THUMP from JYD.

Midnight vs Rich - JYD : In true Midnight Express fashion, Eaton and Lane controlled the match from start to finish.......They trapped JYD in the ring and would not allow a single tag.......Every time JYD would get close...Eaton,Lane or Cornette would block the tag. JYD took a beating but did his best to stay in the match. It was just too much for one man to handle and he fell to a ROCKET LAUNCHER.

NOTES :
Morgan-Simmes vs Madusa-Martel : A great tag match that saw Madusa and Martel control most of the match up, with the match ending after Martel hit Simmes with a big Power Bomb on the concrete at ring side.

Bob A. vs Ivan K. : Bob controlled the match up and was putting a beating on Koloff. The fans were chanting USA, USA, during the match enraging Koloff......Ivan finally had enough and got himself DQ'ed by attacking Armstrong at ring side after Tommy Young had tried to get him to return to the ring.

Eaton vs Brett S. : A great back and fort high impact match. Eaton started off and looked like he would make short work of Brett, but Sawyer fought through and made a comeback. Eaton then took a beating at the hands of the younger Sawyer brother. Jim Cornette played a roll in the match helping Eaton out of 2 pin attempts, but in the end it was not enough as Brett hit a Spinebuster and got the clean 3 count.

Brad A. vs Nikita : Another good match as Brad went toe to toe with the larger Russian. The Action went back and forth with both wrestlers getting several near falls.......but in the end it was the Power of the big Russian, Nikita Koloff, the made the difference........Nikita got the win with a Russian Bear Hug as Brad did not respond to Referee Tommy Young after lifting his arm 3 times........

Rich & JYD vs Randy & Bob Jr. : A good match that saw Rich and Dog have the early advantage, but that was short lived as Randy and and his Father took turns beating down Tommy Rich......The beating continued when referee Tommy Young stepped in front of Randy as he whipped Tommy into the turnbuckle.....Young was knocked out and fell to the arena floor.......Bob hit JYD with Randy's MPW Championship belt, and Both Orton's beat the hell out of Tommy Rich as the fans jeered and booed.....After what seemed like forever.....a back up referee ran to the ring and as Randy hit his RKO on Rich, JYD charged the ring.....bringing Bob Jr. in also.....in the mass confusion the new referee was taking Bob Jr. back to his corner, JYD Took Randy Orton's MPW Belt and nailed him with it......JYD then pulled Tommy Rich over the fallen Orton, the referee turned and made the 3 count. JYD helped a bloody Rich to the locker room after the match.

Magnum vs Ole A. : A classic match as these two pounded on each other for nearly 20 minutes. Magnum used his wrestling skill while Ole attempted to take the action to the floor at every chance he had.....in the end Magnum survived the ring side attacks and got the win following a BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX.

NOTES :
Rich vs Orton Sr. : lots of true wrestling in this match as they traded holds and moves for a good deal of of the match.......things then got hot as they battled at ring side, where a Orton Sr. Power Bomb ended the match.

Armstrong's vs Koloff's : Bob was on the receiving end of a early Koloff beating....when Ivan used his chain to smash Bob, referee Tommy Young saw it and called for the bell........But the Russians did not stop...Ivan took Bob to the floor and ran him face first into the steel rails around ring side while Nikita and Brad fought in the ring where Nikita left Brad laying after a RUSSIAN SICKLE............The fans were jeering and booing loudly.

Sting-Luger vs Anderson's : Wild and GREAT match that saw all 4 men try to kill each other..........Lex and Sting took it to Ole time after time......but he could not be pinned.......After Gene finally got into the match the tide turned and Sting was on the bad end of Gene's rage........But the Stinger could not be kept down for a 3 count and after getting a tag to Lex went back on the attack.....This time they beat Ole to the point that he could no longer stand on his own.......Gene had enough and came charging in the ring swinging a chair in the direction of Sting and Luger causing the DQ.......Gene hovered over his fallen partner as medics were called in to take Ole out of the ring and to the local Hospital.........

Midnight vs Sawyer's : With Eaton injured Lane started the match against Brett......The action went back and forth between these 2 teams with both teams making many tags. Slowly the Express would start to control the match, they kept it at a slower pace than normal,and wore down the brothers Sawyer......Paul Jones helped his men out as Buzz was down for the count but Jones put his foot on the rope to get the save.....after several more attempts to pin both Sawyer's, the match got out of control and Brett and Buzz entered the ring.....this of course had both Eaton and Lane enter as well.......both team went at it and referee Tommy Young finally had enough and called for the bell Disqualifying both teams!!

NOTES :
Kai vs Martel : A great back and forth battle but Sherri took it to the floor where she took control and won the match.

Brad vs Ivan : A battle right from the start as these two men have no love for each other. The action spilled to the floor often,but the referee let them have some room. Ivan wore Brad down and finished him with a big BEAR HUG.

JYD vs B.W. Sawyer : Brett controlled most the match but could not put JYD away......JYD gets the win after taking charge late in the match.

Bob A. vs Nikita : A fight right from the start as both wrestlers used punches and cheep shots right from the start. With the hatred between these guys its what we expected. The match was going back and forth until Nikita caught Bob off guard and hit a RUSSIAN SICKLE that almost knocked Bob's head off.

TA & Taylor vs Orton's : A good tag match that ended when Randy caught a RKO out of nowhere on Magnum....SR. then came in and hit his PILEDRIVER to get the 3 count.

Midnight vs Warriors : Incredible action in this match as Eaton and Lane both took a beating, but would not give up to the World Champions. Eaton was stuck in the ring and both Hawk and Animal beat the crap out of him,but neither could get the pin as Eaton would kick out or get help from Lane. Eaton finally made a tag and Lane came in and took it to Animal before the Champs turned the tide and took over. The match ended after an Animal POWER SLAM on Lane. After the match both Eaton and Lane shook the Champs hands and walked slowly to the back.
