Angle Developments/Notes:
1.) Collyer gets control with a hammerlock, but Saturn quickly takes Collyer down to the mat with a fireman’s carry. Collyer delivers a fireman carry, but Saturn gains arm control. Collyer tosses Saturn with a slam, but Saturn shoulder blocks Collyer and kisses Terri. Saturn forearms Collyer coming off the ropes and taunts the crowd.

Saturn locks in a cobra clutch, but Collyer fights out only to be tossed overhead with a suplex. Saturn nails Collyer with a kick to the head. Saturn drives Collyer into the corner with a powerslam gut first. Saturn controls Collyer with a sleeper on the mat for a few moments. Collyer runs into a knee lift. Saturn hits a double under hook powerbomb. Saturn runs into an elbow in the corner and a boot. Collyer plants Saturn with a flapjack and hits a German suplex for a one count. Collyer follows up with a northern lights suplex for a two count. Collyer gets out of a Death Valley Driver attempt. Saturn manages to hit the Death Valley Driver on a second attempt and pins Collyer for the win. (**. I wasn’t expecting Collyer to make this far more competitive than it probably should have been, but I enjoyed this extended showcase match. Saturn is a lot of fun in the ring.)
2.) Crash shoulder blocks Capri, but misses a clothesline. Holly elbows Capri and dumps Capri over the top to the floor. Holly sets up ring steps and leaps off the steps to hit a somersault dive onto Capri on the outside. Capri sends Holly into the corner and delivers a drop toe hold into the middle turnbuckle. Capri hits a northern lights suplex and rolls through to hit a second one for a near fall. Capri works over Holly with strikes in the corner before hitting a neckbreaker and taunted Molly before dropping down. Holly gets a two count with a rollup. Capri nails Crash with a clothesline to regain the momentum. Capri chokes Holly on the mat. Holly avoids a German suplex with a rollup for a two count. Capri elbows Crash coming off the ropes. Crash counters a suplex attempt with another rollup for a two count. Capri stomps Crash a few times. Capri sits Crash on the top turnbuckle and tries for a superplex, but Crash drops Capri off the middle rope. Crash kicks Capri in the corner and continues with strikes. Crash elbows Capri coming off the ropes followed by a clothesline and scoop slam. Crash stomps Capri in the corner until the referee pulls Crash away. Capri sends Holly into the post shoulder first and nearly wins the match. Holly avoids a splash in the corner and hits a springboard bulldog for the win. (**. I’m digging the amount of offense that the enhancement guys are getting. Another solid extended enhancement match. Capri looked a little lost in the beginning, but pulled it together.)
3.) Tiger Ali Singh says the fans are booing them because they have fear of them. Singh believed their ignorance prevents them from accepting Lo Down. Singh demands the fans be silent as they pay their respects.
4.) Brown and Boz kickoff the tag match with Brown delivering a shoulder block and a heel kick. Lo Down hit a side slam/leg drop combo to Boz. Chaz chokes Boz with his shirt before delivering stomps and strikes. Chaz chops Boz in the corner. Boz boots Chaz and delivers a spinning heel kick. Reign enters the match, but Chaz delivers an atomic drop and a clothesline. Chaz sends Reign into the corner and Brown enters to hit a splash in the corner. Brown plants Reign with a flapjack and a few elbow drops. Reign plants Brown with a DDT. Chaz enters the match and misses a strike. Boz backdrops Chaz and punches Brown. Brown is double teamed and hit with a double spin kick. Chaz hits the Burning Hammer on Reign. Boz is driven down with a double powerbomb for the win. (**. Yeah, a good match for what its purpose was.)
Final Thoughts:
A good show and I love that the enhancement guys are not just here to get beaten up and actually make the matches a little competitive before the ultimate outcome. If they keep this up WWF Metal is going to be a great show to spend 45 minutes watching.
