Match observations:


Demolition, Vader, and Steve Austin hit the ring before the night
officially got started. They said that they were going to make
very quick work of the Stiners, Hayabusa, and Pillman. They claimed
that that team as a B Rated team and that they couldn't win if
their life depended on it.

Our opening bout, Sting defended his newly won Television Title
against Shawn Michaels. Sting and Shawn Michaels put on a very
good match. Shawn Michaels couldn't quite get the win, Sting
won the match and retained his title!

Jim Niedhart took on Blitzkrieg. The Anvil made Blitskrieg
look like a fool. Niedhart destoyed Blitskrieg in this matchup!

The Ultimate Warrior, looking to get back into the World Title
hunt, took on Sabu. Sabu who has been on somewhat of a roller
coaster ride lately, was no match for The Warrior. The Ulitmate
Wariror got the win over Sabu. The Warrior now has earned a shot
at the Television Title against Sting!

The Power of Pain defended their Tag Team Titles against The Eliminators.
John Kronus and Perry Saturn almost had the match one. The heart
of a champion won the bout as the Warlord and the Barbarian won
the matchup!

Mil Mascaras took on Spellbinder. Mascaras over Spellbinder!

In our number one contenders match, the winner recieves a
World Title shot! Lex Luger -Vs- Jushin Liger. Jushin Liger,
a former 2 time World Champion, took on a hungry man, eager for
the World Title, Lex Luger. This match went back and forth! It
was anybody's game. Liger made a costly mistake as he attempted
a top rope Frankenteiner. Luger countered the move and hit a power
bomb from the top. Luger moves on to face the World Champ!

Casket Match for the World Title! Chris Jericho -Vs- The
Undertaker. This is the Undertaker's specialty match.
The Undertaker was the favorite in the match and it looked
like he was going to get the win. Jericho was in the casket
when Sabu came out from under the ring and did a number on
The Undertaker. Sabu and Jericho both went off on the Undertaker.
Since it was no DQ they both had plenty of time to take it to him.
In the end, it was Jericho holding onto the belt. What is the
relationship with Sabu and The Undertaker?

War Games! This match was a bloody mess. Both teams hated
eachother with a passion. It surly showed here tonight. Demolition,
Vader, and Austin had the early advantage with their team winning
the coin toss. Scott Steiner was able to lock in a scorpion
deathlock on Smash and Smash had to give it up! What a win for
the Steiners, Hayabusa, and Pillman!

Next month, IWA Presents: Zero Hour....

Luger/Liger 4 stars??  :o  Liger with a good carry this time around.  Another good job by Jericho, pulling a 3 with the Undertaker in a casket match.  The idea didn't really appeal to me on paper, but obviously the outcome was good.  Next week's tourny should be good

And yet the War Games was a little below par, ending Hayabusas run of mind blowing awesomeness in recent months. Still, a terrific Lex Luger match (hmmm, 1991, wasn't that around the time he and Dan Spivey had a classic match... I guess it's not unfeasible then) and probably the best casket match ever too.

Still, I'm calling Vader or possibly one of the Steiners to take the tournament (bearing in mind there's another one of your cards up I haven't read yet).
