Blaylock also mentions Van Viciouss being put in a match against "All The Way" Ray Collins with his contract with Memphis Wrestling on the line, and says that he sees no other manager going through that. He then says that he has gone over King Cobra's and Michael's heads and want them terminated from Memphis Wrestling. Dustin Starr explains to King Cobra and Michael that Blaylock directly contacted the Championship Committee and complained that they were unfit to make matches in Memphis Wrestling, even going so far as to claim that he could make better matches than them. He then tells King Cobra and Michael that they are under investigation by the Championship Committee. Van Viciouss proclaims that something was finally done right and that King Cobra and Michael need to be investigated, and Dustin Starr apologizes to King Cobra and Michael, saying that he had nothing to do with the decision and that Jimmy Blaylock made the call. King Cobra tells Blaylock he can investigate him all he wants, as all he does is make the matches the way that the fans want them, but Blaylock immediately accuses King Cobra of bias against The Hollywood Clique. Michael says that Blaylock does nothing but run his mouth and says that maybe Van Viciouss just does not have it, and asks them if they ever thought about that. That gives King Cobra the idea to make one more match as Matchmaker: Van Viciouss vs. Michael.



Jake Painter beats Sycho Simon by disqualification after throwing a metal folding chair at him. After the match, Simon keeps grabbing chairs andhitting Painter with them as referees and security to restore order.



Dustin Starr interviews "The Chosen One" Zay Washington at the announce desk. Zay says he usually likes to get in the ring and handle his business, then says that while SuperBout III was a great show for a lot of people, it was not a great show for him. Zay says he was robbed of his opportunity by somebody he thought he trusted and called a friend and even travelled the roads with, then calls out "All Heart" Blake Christian, saying that he knows he is watching and that he and everybody knows that he is one of the best wrestlers in the world and he is challenging him for the Game Changer Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship. All of a sudden, "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts and Justin Case show up, and Roberts says that Zay cannot hold a friendship and that he wants to challenge for a title when he could not even hold the Internet Championship. Zay reminds Roberts that he was the one to disgrace the Internet title by spray painting in front of the announce desk, and now he suddenly wants to act like the face of the championship. When Zay calls Roberts "an egg suckin' hypocrite," Roberts sucker punches him. This starts a brawl between the two men that ends with Roberts planting him with an Uranage. Suddenly, Tim Bosby shows up and confronts Aaron Roberts, then gets in the ring. Justin Case holds Aaron Roberts back before the two of them leave the ring.



We hear from K-Toomer, who says that he has seen the recent footage of him getting beaten down about a thousand times over by now, and ever since it happened, people have been asking what his answer is.

Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamont), and wants a match where The L.A. Hustlers cannot run and hide and it's just his team against them in the ring. Assistant Matchmaker Michael shows up and proposes a tornado tag match. Ray Ray and Derrick love the idea, and it is soon made official.



Big John Dalton beats Lord Gaston. Sir Matt is barred from ringside during this match.



When asked how he is feeling backstage, "The GunShow" Brett Michaels states that he feels like whipping Reverend Ash Taylor's ass.

Blaylock signs the contract, and King Cobra tells Blaylock not to forget who makes the matches. Blaylock demands that King Cobra be fair, then Michael says they notice The Hollywood Clique are enjoying their party and knows a guy who also enjoys a party: "The Cowboy" James Storm, who shows up. Blaylock, saying he has never partied with a cowboy before, calls for a toast. He gets one, but Storm gets beer all over him and Blaylock demands an apology.
