Uncle Frank obviously boned up alot since last week and made sure that he stayed in long enough to be one of the last 5 to qualify for the Rumble match. Tony Antony and Gotti move on as well as Van Wild and James Robinson.

Backstage:
After the battle royal, we saw Hate and Anger have some words. It seems Hate was bragging that he made it to the Rumble match and Anger didn't. Hate then went on to say how he is going to become the next RPW World champ. Anger had heard enough and walked out of the locker room. Hate just stood there with a grin on his face.

Sabu pinned Rob Van Dam with the Triple Jump Moonsault in 0:07:45.
Rating: *** 3/4

We had ourselves a classic match between Sabu and RVD. Last time we saw this was many years back in ECW and it was called right down the middle then and the same can be said for tonight's match.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Triangle Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
Travis LaGrange defeated Van Wild and Teddy Diablo when LaGrange made Diablo submit to the Brazos Valley Backbreaker in 0:02:29.
Rating: *** 1/4

Once again we witnessed nonstop action between Diablo and LaGrange. It's always a treat when those two get in the ring and do battle. As a matter of fact, Van Wild being involved never was a factor since he seemed to walk away right after the bell rang and let these two go ahead and try to kill each other.

Justin Credible pinned Mark Briscoe with the That's Incredible in 0:10:19.
Rating: ** 1/4

Credible had issued that open challenge and it was answered by Mark Briscoe. These two had a good match that entertained the fans.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Cage Match:
Team Xtreme (James Robinson and Lance Williams) defeated Chuck and Dom Donovan when Williams defeated Chuck when Chuck passed out in the Pain NY Style in 0:21:00.
Rating: *** 3/4

Lance got his revenge by making sure that Chuck suffered to the point of no return and that's what happen. At the end of the match, it was Lance Williams
who was standing over an unconscious Chuck.

Once again Christian was at ringside...we still don't know the relations between him and Real Xtreme but i'm sure something will come out of this in due time.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
CM Punk pinned Ben Tuckwell with the Pepsi Plunge in 0:05:01.
Rating: **** 1/4

Punk was able to beat Tuckwell even without the help of Trent Acid.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
Trent Acid pinned Steve Austin with the Yakuza Kick in 0:03:33.
Rating: ***

Acid did the same as his partner and proved he is as formidable in the ring solo as he is along with Punk.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
Lucifer Magnusson pinned Kevin J. Ridge with the Catalepsy Driver in 0:03:29.
Rating: **
[Cardinal Synn interfered against Kevin J. Ridge.]

Magnusson pretty much decimated Ridge for 3 and a half minutes.

[World Tag title Defense]: Match where the title can change hands via DQ or countout:
Afternoon Delight (Lee Awesome and Lee Handsome) defeated Gangsta Heaven (Gotti and Hoffa) when Total Lee pinned Hoffa with the Like A Rolling Stone in 0:09:40.
Rating: ** 3/4
(Afternoon Delight retained the World Tag Titles.)

Afternoon Delight got another victory and held on to their titles. The fans love these guys!

Handicap-Match:
Hell's Army (Jack Ripper and Lark Fenriz) defeated Maxis Cendres when Fenriz defeated Maxis when Maxis passed out in the Sammael in 0:20:24.
Rating: *****
[Matty Nickles interfered against Jack Ripper.]

Jack Ripper and Lark Fenriz were scheduled to face Jack Evans but they beat Evans down prior to the match starting. The beat down continued until Maxis Cendres showed up at ringside and told Ripper and Fenriz that if they want to tangle with someone, it should be someone their own size.

He rushed the ring and brawled with both men but they were too much for him and they were able to make him pass out to Fenriz's Sammael finisher as we went off the air.

Card rating: *** 1/4

Match observations:

Alot of good stuff happened tonight. Let's recap:

- Tony Antony moves on to next week's Ultimate X match to join Travis Cade, Scott Starring, and Lucifer Magnusson who are all competing for that #20 slot in the Rumble Pro Rumble (happening in only a few short weeks right before our big year ending event).

- Speaking of Lucifer Magnusson, did you see what he did to Kevin Ridge? My money's on him to come out of the Ultimate X match with that #20 slot under his belt.

- Afternoon Delight held on to their tag titles for one more week.

- What is going on between Hate and Anger? Has the glory of what it means to be the RPW World champ clouded Hate's judgement?

- We also saw an intense match between RX and Cumshot Feminists that can only get hotter from here. And what is up with Christian and Real Xtreme? Someone needs to find out and let me know.

- Let's not forget the main event from tonight as we witnessed Jack Ripper and Lark Fenriz put the champ down and out along with Jack Evans. If Ripper or Fenriz win the Rumble Pro Rumble, either one of them could end up as the World champ.

Moving on to next week, our lineup is shaping up like this:

- Like I said before, it's gonna be Tony Antony vs Travis Cade vs Magnusson vs Starring in an Ultimate X match with the #20 slot hanging high above the ring.

- Real Xtreme and Cumshot Feminists will go at it one more time in a Bunkhouse Brawl match.

- Frank Knight will face Rob Van Dam

- Chavo Jr was impressed with Justin Credible and they have agreed to tag up against any two men in the locker room.

Much more to come...see ya in a week.

A lot of really short matches on this one, but the killer main event made up for it.
