Sandman tries to get Woman to tell him what’s wrong. Yeah, good luck with getting a woman to honestly answer that, buddy. And apparently, she’s pissed because Tommy Dreamer sexually assaulted her. Valid. Anyway, Sandman is going to get revenge to stop the ‘bitching’

Dean Malenko introduces himself, ahead of the NWA World title tournament that will be taking place this Saturday night

The Pitbulls v Jimmy Snuka and Tazmaniac: From Hardcore Heaven on August 13 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The babyfaces blitz them, and put this away at 0:40. Okay then. And the idiot crowd cheers like… idiots… as they get robbed of the match they’d paid to see. DUD

2 Cold Scorpio promises that ‘Scorp Doggy Dogg’ will be winning the NWA title on Saturday

Mr. Hughes v 911: Also from Hardcore Heaven '94. They do some measuring to start, and Hughes wins a slugfest, but 911 doesn’t go down. Hughes hits him with a scrapbuster, but it only gets two, and 911 starts no-selling. Hughes hammers to no response, so he goes low, and that gets 911’s attention. Hughes tries another scrapbuster, but 911 counters to the chokeslam at 3:37. DUD

Paul E. Dangerously is really excited that the NWA will finally be able to compete with the WWF and WCW again now that they’ll be crowning a new world champion with ECW. He seems really respectful of the NWA brand and what it stands for. What a nice kid

Speaking of nice, respectful kids, ECW Champion Shane Douglas is ready to become immortal by winning the NWA World title 

Cactus Jack reminisces about the time he met Terry Funk at Ric Flair’s birthday party. Jack comparing Terry to Jesus is a choice. Great promo, though

ECW Tag Team Champions Public Enemy are ready to make Funk and Cactus bleed their own blood

BUExperience: Not really much here, but they’re really pushing that NWA title tournament. Sounds like a big deal.
