Bailey proclaims that Krush doesn’t need to wrestle in NCW anymore because he’s a WWF Superstar. Bailey reveals that Krush can wait to go to the WWF because they’re not done yet. Bailey promises Krush they will get the white devil Chance Williams.

Damien Steele low blows Dotson from behind and spikes Dotson with a piledriver on the floor. Lawler rolls over and covers Dotson for the win. (*. I don’t think these kinds of matches need to be dragged out nearly this long. The hardcore aspect doesn’t add value to these matches.) After the match, Steel tells Lawler he’s helped him and commentary acts as if it’s because Steel wants to fight Mr. Extreme.
Al Getz and Scottie Wrenn are in the ring to be interviewed. Getz tells the fans that JC Dazz will not be there. Wrenn mocks Dazz for having cool sideburns and hot women. Wrenn says that Dazz isn’t super cool like him and it’s all about him now. Getz chimes in and says that Dazz would fight Wrenn like a man right now. Getz brings up the ten year hatred for Dazz and says he never forgot what he did. Gets promises that we’ll never see Dazz in the ring against Wrenn. Getz reveals he’s offering $5,000 to anyone in NCW or NWA to take Dazz out for life. Getz isn’t specifically mentioning why he hates Dazz from ten years ago, which makes me wonder if they dropped that specific aspect of the feud.
Steve Prazak, who works with ECW, joins commentary to call the action.
Second Contest: JC Dazz vs. White Trash: Dazz quickly slides into the ring and goes after Trash with stomps in the corner. Dazz slingshots to the floor and kicks a chair into Trash’s face. Trash fights back on the apron, but Dazz pummels Trash with right hands. Dazz clotheslines Trash a few times leading to a near fall. Dazz low blows Trash in the corner and sits Trash in the corner to deliver a baseball slide to the groin. Dazz tries for a tornado DDT, but Trash avoids it and hits a superplex.

Dazz climbs to the top and waits for Trash to get up. Dazz hits a missile dropkick landing on his feet. Dazz superkicks Trash and goes to the top again, but loses his footing. Dazz finishes Trash off with a frog splash for the win. After the match, Al Getz comes down to ringside and commentary mention the girlfriend aspect of the angle. Scottie Wrenn attacks Dazz from behind. Wrenn bails to the floor to avoid Dazz. (*1/2. I loved Dazz’s fire here and it came across well that he’s pissed about his friend turning on him. The Getz/Dazz aspect of the feud needs to be forgotten and just keep it between Wrenn and Dazz. I’m sure the girlfriend that was stolen will be introduced at some point as a character. I’m keeping my eye on Dazz as a breakout star for Wildside.)
Jeff G. Bailey and K-Krush confront Chance Williams in the ring. Bailey says that Williams has a lot of payback coming his way for what Chance did last time.

Styles gets the microphone and accepts the challenge by Krush and Bailey for later on in the night.
Third Contest: Bad Attitude (Rick Michaels & David Young) vs. Bad, Black & Beautiful (Billy Simmons & Sean Powers): Powers backs Michaels into a corner, but Michaels bails to the floor to stale. Powers backs Michaels into the corner again, but cleanly backs off as Michaels complains of cheating by Powers.

Young trips Simmons on a suplex attempt and Michaels lands on top to pin Simmons for the win. (*. Young and Michaels are a good team, but this was another match that probably went on for a little too long. I’m not sure if Triple B is slated to be the new top face tag team with the Boogaloo Crew disbanding. I’m sure Rick and David are the top heel duo. Hell, Rick is the top heel in the company.)
Main Event: NCW Television Champion AJ Styles vs. K-Krush: Styles drop toe holds Krush followed by an arm drag and dropkick to send Krush bailing to the floor.

Styles hip tosses Krush after they both do a flip. Krush bails to the floor again. Krush returns to the ring and hammers away on Styles. Krush keeps a sleeper on Styles, but doesn’t get a submission. Krush punches Styles, but Styles responds with a clothesline. Styles backs Krush into a corner, but backs off. Krush stomps Styles and hits a sit out front suplex. Krush goes to the top rope missing a twisting frog splash attempt as the show goes to commercial.
Krush drives Styles into the corner and delivers a few shoulder rams. Krush punches Styles in the corner. Styles sends Krush upside down into the corner and dropkicks in midair for a two count. Styles kicks Krush as Bailey gets on the apron to distract the referee. Styles decks Bailey off the apron and Krush hits a heel kick to win the match and title. (*. I’m curious as to when Krush is going to be going to the WWF for him to be winning the TV Championship. It could be a swerve that it’s much longer than originally thought to be. Krush getting more TV time as the champ isn’t a problem either.)
Final Thoughts:
Well, I think we have a good idea of the main programs Wildside is rolling with moving forward. I’m drawn towards JC Dazz simply because of the fire and intensity he showed. I think there’s a ton of potential for Dazz. The focus on Krush was done well. I kind of wish Chance would have sold the attack instead of continuing commentary especially since Prazak was literally there to help out with Behrens.
Thanks for reading.
