Event

Pre-show

Simon Diamond kicked off the show by blaming HC Loc for not being a fair referee. Diamond then led his group into attacking Loc, who then took off his referee shirt and handed it to The Musketeer, who officiated the match between Diamond and Loc. Loc hit a diving crossbody on both men and pinned Diamond, counting the pinfall himself for the victory.

Next, Chilly Willy competed against Johnny Swinger. Willy attempted a sunset flip on Swinger but Judge Jeff Jones tried to block it until the referee kicked Swinger and Jones' arms apart, allowing Willy to pin Swinger for the win.

Hardcore TV

The following three matches were taped for the April 23 episode of Hardcore TV. Nova and Chris Chetti defeated The New Dangerous Alliance (C.W. Anderson and Bill Wiles) in a tag team match.[2]

In the following match, Kid Kash competed against Super Crazy. Crazy executed a brainbuster for the win.[2]

Next, Danny Doring and Roadkill took on The Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido and Sal E. Graziano) in a tag team match. Roadkill hit an Amish Splash on Graziano to win the match. After the match, Da Baldies (Angel and Tony DeVito) attacked Doring and Roadkill.[2]

ECW on TNN

The next three matches were taped for the April 21 episode of ECW on TNN. The Impact Players defended the World Tag Team Championship against Raven and Mikey Whipwreck. Credible hit a That's Incredible to Whipwreck to retain the titles.[1]

This was followed by a match between Scotty Anton and Rhino. Rhino put the referee and Anton through a table, thus ending the match in a no contest. After the match, Rob Van Dam made the save and attacked Rhino and the two men brawled with each other until several wrestlers from the locker room stormed to the ringside and then The Network left the ringside.[1]

Next, Tommy Dreamer competed against Steve Corino in an Extreme Bullrope match. The match evolved into a six-man tag team Street Fight after interference by Jack Victory, The Sandman, New Jack and Yoshihiro Tajiri as Dreamer teamed with Sandman and Jack against Corino, Victory and Tajiri. Tajiri accidentally misted Corino and Jack hit a 187 for the win. After the match, Rhino came out and Network attacked Dreamer's team until Dusty Rhodes made the save by hitting Bionic Elbows on Rhino and Sandman caned him to make Network retreat to the backstage.[1]
