Michael Elgin cut a promo backstage on his match with Rhino later tonight. The Unbreakable One will be battling the War Machine in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

Elgin warned him that his patented Elgin Bomb can now take place through a stage, a table, even in the crowd. Tonight, he finally makes the former Heavyweight Champion extinct.


The Rascalz vs Rich Swann & Willie Mack

Wentz and Mack started off, with the former MMA competitor (thanks, Josh Mathews) hoping to take Chocolate Thunda off his feet. Mack countered an arm drag with one of his own and fought out of a tilt-a-whirl headscissors by landing on his feet. Swann and Dez tagged in here.

Dez brought Swann overhead with a headscissors takedown, sending him outside. Swann came back in and returned the favor. Wentz rushed Swann with a hurricanrana, leading to another hurricanrana from the big man Willie Mack. All four men stared each other down as we went to commercial break.

As we cut back in, Dez and Wentz were lighting up Swann in their corner. A bronco buster from Wentz after a series of kicks from Dez led to a nearfall. In their corner, Wentz connected with a running elbow strike.

Dez tagged in and Swann was tripped up by Wentz as Dez cam ein with a kick to Swann's head. A running moonsault connected, but Swann avoided another dive from Dez, tagging in Mack.

Mack bounced Wentz off the ropes for a German suplex, then dropped Dez with a Samoan drop, following up with a standing moonsault. He picked Dez up over head and Swann leapt off the ropes with a super neckbreaker. Wentz broke up the fall.

Swann tossed Wentz out, allowing the duo to target Dez two-on-one. Dez lit up Swann, but one strong right to the jaw from Mack left him dazed. He stumbled into his corner where Wentz tagged him in, though Mack didn't notice.

As he went in to continue the punishment, Wentz caught him with a kick, allowing the Rascalz to set up a kicking combination. Dez tagged in only for Swann to rush back inside to stop Wentz before the slingshot superkick, sending him outside once again.

Swann and Mack left Dez on the top rope for a pair of enziguris. A hurricanrana off the top from Swann allowed Mack to hit the frog splash for the win.

Results: Willie Mack & Rich Swann defeated The Rascalz via pinfall.

All four men showed each other respect and celebrated in the ring before we cut to promo cut by Ken Shamrock.

Shamrock said that Moose had no right to come after him or Tommy Dreamer. He knows what tough guys look like, and Moose isn't one. Shamrock then listed off his accolades, including being the first ever World Champion for Impact Wrestling back when the company began.

Moose responded backstage and figured that Shamrock was only trying to fight him for some publicity. He then listed some facts of his own, namely his size and athletic ability. Before he could continue to run down Shamrock, Fallah Bahh stepped up and demanded one more match between them, surprisingly saying more than just "Bahh." At the moment, their series is tied 1-1.

A vignette played for a new Impact star, Johnny Swinger, who will be debuting soon.
