GRUDGE MATCH
JAKE HAMMER VS NAILS
The two big men went at it trading shots and power moves trying to out power the other to see who the tougher man was. Both men showed that they had brains behind their brawn as well, countering attempts by each other to apply their finishing moves. Things soon got out of hand however when both men feeling fed up each grabbed a chair and tried to bash each others head in resulting in a double disqualification. The two continued to go at it and seemed impervious to each others chair shots till they dropped the chairs and started brawling again. Obviously nothing was settled between the two as officials tried to seperate the two big men.
WINNER: DRAW DUE TO DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION

HARDCORE TITLE TOURNAMENT MATCH 4
JACK FROST VS WOLFGANG
The big German Wolfgang didn't seem to care about the hardcore rules but instead attacked Frost with various submission holds. Frost fought back using a steel chair to get the advantage. With Wolfgang down, Frost brought a table and attempted to set it up in the ring. While his back was turned, Wolfgang got up and grabbed Frost from behind in his Spinal Smasher torture rack submission hold, and Frost soon submitted. Not quite done yet, Wolfgang dropped Frost through the table he set up turning his back breaker into a samoan drop.He then rised his large arms in victory.
WINNER: WOLFGANG

ICEBERG VS MERCY PREACHER with The Ministry of Mercy
The strange man in white that had been attacking Iceberg for the past few weeksmade his entrance first and introduced himself as Mercy Preacher and his Ministry of Mercy, the odd Clown and the 400lbs Happy Hooligan. Mercy explained that his attacks on Iceberg was mearly 'act of Mercy', and that there was no need for him and Iceberg to fight. Iceberg then made his entrance and couldn't wait to get his hands on Mercy. Mercy then offered him a chance to join his Ministry, but was answered with a big chop from Iceberg who continued his assault on the big man, pounding away until he was attacked from behind by the Ministry. Iceberg tried his best to fight off the two but was soon overcome by them. Mercy then got up and locked on a cobra clutch which he then turned into a back suplex dropping Iceberg on his head. The 400lbs Hooligan then dropped a big diving headbutt off the top rope and was going to do it again when Diamond Dog and Big Daddy Payne,who Iceberg would be teaming with at Slam Jam to take on the Ministry,  made the save running off the Ministry.
