The Moose is impatiently waiting in the ring while Chris Casino and his manager Terry Brandon take their sweet time getting there. Are they signing autographs or what? Moose can't wait any longer, and the second Casino climbs into the ring, he lashes out with a HUGE running clothesline that takes Casino right off his feet. The bell sounds.

Mirage is busy making it clear to his minion that only MIRAGE may start the match. Meanwhile, The Dudes are playing Rock/Paper/Anything to see who starts! Johnston picks Paper, Scott picks Flamingo, Flamingo beats Paper, Scott gets to start! Johnston and the Nameless One hit their corners, so GET YOUR TICKETS READY! as Scott and Mirage LOCK-UP! Mirage, grunting, is steadily forcing Scott into HIS corner, slowly, step by step... and Scott EXPLODES, pushing Mirage off of his feet and onto the mat. Mirage recovers with a quizzical look on his face, then rushes Scott with a lariat--ducked! And Scott's unloading with his right hand, ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! Scott whips Mirage into the ropes, he's on the balls of his feet--LOU THESZ PRESS! Scott's on top of Mirage, roars, and now a BIG HEAD BUTT with Mirage having nowhere to run to! CLONK! Scott rolls off of Mirage and tags in his partner, the lighter Michael Johnston, who wastes no time getting to the top turnbuckle--Mirage is up and groggy--CROSSBODY! Off the top rope! Johnston hooks the leg, ONE! TWO! Just TWO! The Nameless One has his fill at this point, and runs in to deliver a fieldgoal kick to Johnston's head just as he's picking himself up! Dick Kiebiech sends Nameless back into his corner and reminds him to get a clean tag, but the damage has been done--Mirage has the opening he needs to openly choke Johnston while the ref's distracted! He lets go as soon as the ref turns back around, but with Johnston hurt and grounded, Mirage FINALLY has control of the match! Sneering at Cameron Scott, Mirage drags Michael Johnston back to HIS corner and tags in the Nameless One in! Five seconds of legal double-teaming! BOOT, BOOT, BOOT, BOOT, BOOT, thank you for your time. With Mirage back behind the ropes, Nameless picks up a groggy Johnston, looks for Mirage's approval, then PLANTS him on his knee! BACKBREAKER! Johnston's too busy nursing his back to resist Nameless picking him up again, this time draping him across his shoulders--SAMOAN DROP! Nameless is deliberately working on Johnston's back, trying to break him in half! Nameless drags him to the centre of the mat, and hooks the leg-ONE! TWO! Knocked off--BY MIRAGE? Mirage is HOPPING MAD, yelling at his protege, physically demonstrating a tag--he's insisting HE gets the pin! Nameless ashamedly bows to his master's will, as both men walk back to the tag rope, Mirage grabs it, Nameless dutifully provides the tag, and Mirage returns to... now where IS Michael Johnston? Oh, in his corner, making a tag. Cameron Scott is a HOUSE! ON! FIRE! Shoulder-blocking Mirage DOWN! Mirage gets up as Scott hits the ropes, SHOULDER-BLOCK! Mirage picks himself up again, and Scott just THROWS himself off of them ropes--LINEBACKER TACKLE! takes the Lord of Pain down! Nameless jumps the ropes to help out Mirage--and eats DROPKICK OFF THE TOP ROPE, courtesy Johnston! All four men are going at it in the ring, Kiebiech has lost control of the match! Nameless is up, Scott and Mirage are trading blows, Johnston is CHOKESLAMMED out of his boots by Nameless! And now The Dudes' valet Tiffany screams at what she sees--Bio and Kar are strutting out from behind the entrance, and now Mirage gets 4-2 odds! WAIT A MINUTE! FROM BEHIND! IT'S THE CRUSHER!!! He's just knocked Bio and Kar like BOWLING PINS and he's not stopping! He's got a bandage around his knee and he's after the man that caused the injury--THE NAMELESS ONE! Nameless instinctively backs up against the ropes, Crusher slides in--SPEAR!!! SPEAR drives Crusher and Nameless BOTH to the outside! And they're GOING AT IT as Scott, Mirage and Johnston all walk to the ring's edge and watch, perplexed. The gorgeous Tiffany loudly clears her throat, which seems to jolt the same thought loose in the Dudes' brains. They clutch the distracted Mirage, sweep the legs--BLACK RUSSIAN! Mirage hits the mat with IMPACT! Johnston dutifully slides out of the ring, and Scott gets the cover! ONE! TWO! THREE! Carve a notch in the Dudes' Win-stick. And now Bio and Kar have gotten around to Crusher, joining Nameless in a three-on-one beating! In the ring, the Dudes size up the odds, then Scott whispers into Johnston's ear. Johnston nods OK! Scott picks his partner up in a military press, walks to the edge, and TOSSES his partner into the four Superstars! Johnston's crossbody knocks 'em ALL down! Tiffany, smiling a nervous smile, grabs Johnston by the arm and escorts him back to the ramp with the pumped-up Scott.
Lobo no stranger to fighting men smaller and faster than him after his bouts with Ravager & Static over November, and of course D! spent a great deal of time contending with the 260-plus Plague leading into Black Thursday. D! hits the ropes and tries to knock Lobo down, but that doesn't really budge the man. D! hits the ropes, and tries it again. Same result. Lobo chuckles at D!'s inability to have an impact on his mass. D! looks at the crowd and winks, and then...tries it one more time? STOP SHORT. KICK IN THE GUT! Can YOU do the Can-Can? Rockettes Kick of Doom is what he calls it, and it seems that D! is having a little fun with Lobo. The strongman backs off. Abs of steel or no, getting kicked at full-bore repeatedly isn't exactly pleasant. D! getting a little serious now, lashes out with a kick to Lobo's right side, then a left kick, and thennnn...BIG roundhouse from the champion! Lobo staggers against the ropes. D! gets a head of steam and rushes Lobo, but Lobo tosses D! up and over the ropes to the outside! The champion lands hard on the concrete, and Lobo follows up outside. Oh my gosh, he just picked D! up and LAUNCHED him at the ring post! That could be the turning point right there. Lobo sends D! inside the ring and climbs in after him. Scoop and a slam puts D! on the canvas, and Lobo follows it up with a big leg drop. Lobo likes that Dragon Sleeper, and he'll work the neck and head to set-up for it. Head scissors by Lobo! Those massive, tree-trunk like legs of Lobo's wrapped around D!'s head, and he's squeezing. D! trying to find some way out, he's certainly not going to muscle his way out of this one. The crowd getting behind the champion, chanting "D!, D!, D!". Lobo responds by squeezing his legs together even further, squashing the champ's head like a grape. D! slapping the mat in pain and frustration. D! flips over so that he's facing the canvas on his hands and knees. Lobo still has that headscissors locked. D! pushes up, doing a headstand, and it's enough to wiggle out of the hold. Gasping for breath, the champ gets to his feet. Lobo hits a powerslam! Cover...gets two. Lobo drives the elbow and covers again, and that gets two. He picks the champ up and sends him into the turnbuckle. Lobo charges, D! flips up and hits a sunset flip! Lobo gets out at two! Axe-handle by Lobo, but D! hits a jab to the solar plexus, cutting off the big man's wind. With Lobo stunned, D! hits the second turnbuckle...comes off with a bulldog! One, two, Lobo powers off. Irish whip sends Lobo to the ropes, the big man puts on the brakes! D! sent to the ropes, Lobo with a back body drop! Oh man, the champ is HIGH in the air and hits the canvas, skittering outside the ring from momentum! Lobo looks pleased... and hold on here. CHRIS CASINO & TERRY BRANDON are coming down the aisle. Lobo looks a bit surprised, and D!, on the outside, is looking down the aisle as well, caution and curiousity warring on his face. Casino and Brandon stop halfway down the aisle, gesturing for the men to continue their match. D! back on the ring apron, Lobo comes after him, D! with a shoulder block to the midsection! And then a hotshot on the top rope! The champion has Lobo stunned. D! back in the ring, and he throws some hard-hitting chops and kicks, beating Lobo back into the corner. Reverse knife-edge chop draws "WHOOOO" from the crowd, and D! takes a run out, and back in...STINGER SPLASH! Lobo stumbles forward, D! quick to irish whip Lobo to the opposite turnbuckle...and...STINGER SPLASH! Lobo dazed, D! turns to the right, to the left, and hits the STANCE. BEAT-O-BARRAGE in five, four, three, two, ONE REFEREE! IN WAY! GUH! Wait a minute! Lobo just pulled the referee directly in the way of the initial flurry of the Barrage! D! momentarily thrown off balance, and Lobo seizes the moment for a CHOKESLAM. D! kicks his way out of that at the height! Clothesline is ducked, D! grabs ahold of a sleeper...NYQUIL DRIVER! DING DING DING! The bell rings?! The referee is calling for a disqualification of Lobo! And Lobo doesn't like that at all...he's attacking D! after the bell! But D! fights back! The Champion...BEAT-O-BARRAGE! He's peppering Lobo --- Lobo falls out of the ring over the top! Accidental or a way to escape the Barrage? Lobo snarls and storms down the aisle... moment of tension as he passes between Casino and Terry Brandon. In the ring, the referee hands D! the NAPW title belt. D! raises it high, ascending the turnbuckle to the roars of the fans...
...as Chris Casino and Terry Brandon look on.
