Stamboli was none too happy with this and left the ring by himself. He was stopped on his way to the back and had these quick comments:
"Doug Williams, I thought you were smarter than that but clearly you were not. That's fine because I will be back in the ring next week and you can be assured that my new partner will be able to handle himself in the ring a lot better than Williams did tonight."

Despair is in TCW!!! He made quick work of Mike Posey in his debut and as he headed towards the back, he had these words:
"James...congrats on your win. News travels fast to the Land of the Rising Sun, especially when you're a Suicide King. When I heard you were the top guy here in TCW, I had to hop the first jet to the states to see it for myself. But don't rest on your laurels for too long because you know how Despair works and I WILL be on you for a title shot REAL soon."

Next up was "Spiky" James Barnett's first TCW World title defense against "Franchise" Shane Douglas. Shane is looking to bring the gold to The New Four Horsemen as well as possibly prove himself to fellow Horsemen, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair who last week was disappointed with Shane's loss in a tag match against The Naturals.

(James Barnett retained the TCW WORLD TITLE.)
"Spiky" James retains the gold. After the match, he addressed Despair who was in the back with these words:
"Christian...I know you can hear me there in the back. I heard what you were saying earlier and I can sense your anger knowing that I made it big here in the states while you were still in Japan working the same crowd every week.
If you want a piece of me, you know how *I* work - come and find me."
Clearly, those two have more history between them than we currently know but I'm sure it will all come out in the open soon enough.
Next up was a tag contest between Billy Gunn and Frank Shamrock going up against Chance Beckett and Damien Steele. Gunn defeated Steele two weeks back while Beckett handed Shamrock a loss last week. Let's see how this week fairs for these four men.
