Manders shows up and brings Mancer his dad’s leather strap from 1976 to use in strap match tonight. Lance Anoai and Juicy Finau from The Samoan Swat team bring SGC some beers and say how they appreciate and respect them. Lance and Juicy said for Mancer helping out in Fatu’s match last week, if they need anything, to let them know. Warner said, well being I helped you out last week, I see your tag team championships. He asked Juicy & Lance if they would give a title shot to Justice and Manders of SGC. Lance and Juicy accept the challenge.

Back from the break Dombroswki said a camera caught up earlier with Willie Mack and Microman together. The video shows them hanging out together eating munchkins from Dunkin Donuts. MSL yells at Microman about watching his weight and complains about him eating munchkins.
From there we go to video clips from last week’s main event between Fatu and Hennigan. Cameras then go to Fatu who cuts a promo outside pumped after winning. He says Melrose, Queens, yeah you know where it’s at! Lance and Juicy from SST join Fatu to celebrate. Fatu closes by saying they’re all strapped and bulletproof!

Strap Match – Mance Warner vs Sam Adonis:
Adonis attacks Warner before the bell. Adonis control the early going of this match. Adonis walks the ropes and hits neck breaker on Warner as we going into break.
Back from break, Adonis is still in control. Adonis uses the strap as a weapon. After going to the turnbuckle one too many times, Warner pulls the strap and flips Adonis into ring. Outside the ring, Mancer does swinging neck breaker to Adonis. Mancer has now taken control outside the ring. He throws Adonis into the guard rail and continues to whip him with the strap. Philly crowd is going crazy and clearly behind Mancer.
Warner takes a wood board from under the ring and sets it up in corner of the ring. After both tagging 3 out of the 4 corners of the ring, Warner spears Adonis through the table in the 4th corner. This causes Adonis to hit the 4th corner turnbuckle first resulting in him winning the match. Mancer is Irate and hits Adonis with the broken board on his head. We are then shown a replay of the match highlights and ending.
Result: Sam Adonis defeats Mance Warner
Next Alex Kane’s Big Apple Grapple II, looking for hoes, is promoted. Dombrowski goes through who can be backing the BFC in MLW Expose. Dan Lambert, Shane Taylor, and Wale were three names mentioned, however it is confirmed none of those three are the financial backer for BFC. Next week we will look into more names and who it can be.
We get video clips of the strap match earlier. Camera goes to the back where Mancer is upset and cuts a promo challenging Adonis to a Country Whipping Match at Never Say Never. Match is described as a lumberjack match however the lumberjacks have whips.

He opens a challenge to anyone in the back and Shiheghio Irie answers the call. Kane calls Irie the sad hoe that wants to work.
Alex Kane vs Shigehro Irie:
Irie begins by headbutting Kane. Kane goes outside and Irie follows. Both are battling it out on the outside of the ring with Kane getting the better. We go to the final break.
Back from the final break, Kane is in complete control of the match. Irie makes a comeback, reversing a suplex. Irie is back on the offensive. Irie does a cannonball to Kane in the corner for a near fall. Both trade forearms, then Irie hits a suplex. Both hit each other with clotheslines and end up falling down.

Result: Alex Kane defeats Shigehro Irie via pinfall.
We get a replay of highlights from this match. Kane takes mic again and calls out Alex Hammerstone. Hammerstone comes down and officials get in his way trying to stop him from coming down. Hammerstone said if Kane was as good at wrestling as running his mouth, he would’ve been champ 6 months ago. Hammerstone holds up title and says you want this work, I’ll bring it! The officials will not let him come down. He walks to the back and Kane said the title is his. Hammerstone is just the placeholder! Kane exits the ring to the chants of “Bomaye” as we go off the air.
