-The
night started out with Captain Dan trying to get the silent Shade
to talk, as Shade took the mic and was about to speak. The arrogant
Jonny Puma's music hit. He came out and told everyone he starts
the show, this is his show, and then bullied Shade until "The
Blade" Lance Steel's music hit. Blade told Puma not to worry
about Shade, that he was the #1 contender and he should focus
on him. Puma tried to tell Blade he didn't need to defend his
title tonight, because the crowd wasn't big enough. But Blade
had a little surprise for the ESW Champion, and that was a new
commissioner: Sweater Guy! "Sweater Guy" Dan Murphy
told Puma he would defend his title tonight. Puma had no choice
but to do it against the Blade.

a surprise opponent for Benjamin Smythe.
El

reason. He eventually got tired and got the Cooper Scoop from

mask. Whether or Sakura understood the challenge, he accepted.

a shining wizard to the back of the head. Magic got so mad he
went outside to get something of his own: powder. Magic tried
blinding him with the powder but missed. Sakura hit the Falcon

got knocked down and Ice came in to help Puma finish the job with
a double suplex. But then Shade came out from underneath the ring.
