He beats Badd into the ring. Johnny B. Badd is in trouble. Butterfly Powerbomb!!! That shook the ring. Lord Steven Regal leaves, having made a big impact. 1. Bagwell and Scorpio vs The Thrillseekers.

It's all over. The Thrillseekers don't look like they're finished by any means...and they rush forward to attack Bagwell and Scorpio, and send them to the outside. Threats are exchanged as the chaos ends. My Opinion: A badly blown spot prevents me from giving out more snowflakes. ***3/4 2. Lord Steven Regal vs Johnny B. Badd.
