BOBBY BURRIS says that their opposition is untalented and worthless and ALEX MASON chimes in with a challenge to Tag Team Champions DA BANDITZ, JERMAINE HARRIS and CHARLES WALKER. THE OLD SCHOOL will be expecting an answer next week.

* MATCH 5 – RYAN “THE BOSS” KNAKAL d. KILAEUA at 5:23 with the Boss Bomb.

* MATCH 6 – THE TYRANT d. ANDREW LIVINSTON at 8:14 after interference from “THE IRISH ASSASSIN” JOE MALONE. MALONE clobbered LIVINGSTON with a chair, leading to a full nelson slam from TYRANT for the win.

* RINGSIDE – NYCW Commissioner JERRY GEORGATOS comes to the ring and announces that, starting in two weeks, a 12-man round-robin tournament will begin, with the grand prize being a spot on the card for PWA EVERLASTING EPIC II on August 9. He then states that next week on NYCW television will see the qualifying round, where the twelve men to compete in this tournament will be decided.

* MATCH 7 – NYCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP – JON DULBERG © d. MARTIN BLACKBURN at 21:13 to retain the title. The interference of BLACKBURN’s valet JILLIAN CLAY was not enough here, as DULBERG kept his concentration and defeated BLACKBURN after a long, epic battle via submission with the Seventh-Inning Stretch. After the match, RYAN KNAKAL appears at the ramp, as he did last week, applauding DULBERG’s victory. DULBERG is left to ponder KNAKAL’s intentions as the show goes off the air.
