Welcome to the ASWA's first anniversary show! We're happy to say that we've been bringing you great wrestling action each month on PPV for a year now and not only that, but we've got a fairly big announcement. Starting tonight, the ASWA will br bringing you TWO pay-per-views a month! That's right, now you can get ASWA action twice as often! But right now let's focus on tonight's line up of matches. We'll see the ASWA debut of a young wrestler by the name of Jimmy Jacobs as he faces Hardcore Revolution member Kanyon, Blue Meanie & Stevie Richards will be joined for one night only by former bWo member Nova to take on Stevens & Skyfire who will have Edge on their team also in a one night only appearance, Scorpion members Jeff Farmer and the Big Show will take on Palumbo & Stamboli who the Big Show faced in a handicap match three monthes ago and in tag match two months ago with another Scorpion member Buck Quartermain, but this time it'll be a Streetfight. We'll also see Kanyon and Tony Mamaluke take on bWo members Shark Boy & Ultimo Dragon and Todd Sexton & Hector Garza, newcomer C.W. Anderson will debut against Cactus Jack, Ron Killings and Great American champion Gronda in a non-title 4-corners match, Booker T, Roddy Piper and Christopher Nowinski will be in triple threat action and in the main event, #1 contender for the Heavyweight title Cactus Jack and the Heavyweight champion himself Bret Hart will team up to face Scorpions leader Sting and Buck Quartermain. Cactus and Bret both have beef with Sting and all three were also the men that a year ago faced eachother in a triple threat match in the main event, so it's only fitting that these three men are once again in this position. Cactus' problems with Sting only really stem back a week, Bret's however stem back to almost the whole year really, but can Jack and Hart work well enough as a team to dispose of a common enemy?

Cactus has officially gotten revenge on Sting for not only the comments that Sting had made against the hardcore legend a few weeks ago, but also for screwing him out of his chance to be the ASWA Heavyweight champion last month. Both Sting and Quartermain look like they've been taken to the limit and only barely survived. It only went for just under 18 minutes but a brutal battle it was indeed wrestling fans. The PPV ends with Cactus Jack and Bret Hart staring eachother down and you could cut the tension with a knife.
