Legion, who had the size and weight advantage over the Thoroughbreds showed their dominance during the match. But the Thoroughbreds showed why they were once the CIW Tag Team Champions.

WINNERS: LEGION

5th Match: PPW247 Internet Championship Title Match: Scotty Mathews (Champion) vs Ali Steele: This match is a return match from PPW247's last event in Sanford, NC. Scotty Mathews had complained after that match that Ali Steele had not given his best. On this night Ali Steele, accompanied by "Big Bad Bully" D Mack showed that he was going to give his 100% effort in this title match. Mathews' amazing speed and high flying maneuvers did keep Ali Steele on the defensive but only for a small amount of time. Ali Steele, 350 lbs, used his strength and wrestling skills to his advantage. Mathews strategy seemed to be to keep Ali Steele on the defensive. As Mathews prepared to press the attack and gain the win; D Mack jumped up on the ring apron. Though he avoided contact with Ali Steele he could not avoid a super kick from Scotty Mathews but when Mathews returned to the ring he was meant by a "Sky High" sit out power bomb. THE WINNER AND NEW INTERNET CHAMPION: ALI STEELE

6th Match: PPW247 Tag Team Championship Title Match: The Youngbludz (Champions) with Moses Manson vs Dick Foley & "The Boogie Woogie Man" Rob McBride: The PPW247 Tag Team champions, escorted by manager Moses Manson were set to face Rob McBride, who was attacked earlier in the night by his friend and former partner; Tank Lawson. McBride came out alone and it seemed that the Youngbludz were ready for action even if it was to be a handicap match until McBride introduced his tag team partner, Dick Foley. With this surprise the Youngbludz had to change their tactics during the match. McBride and Foley, the veterans in the ring. Their battle against the younger and stronger champions did not deter the challenge from their number one contenders. McBride and Foley applied sleepers on the Youngbludz and became the new tag team champions. WINNERS AND NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS DICK FOLEY AND ROB MCBRIDE

7th Match: PPW247 Heavyweight Championship Title Match: "Big Daddy Doom" Michael Devine vs Tank Lawson:  This match was for the PPW247 Heavyweight Championship. Earlier in the night Tank Lawson informed PPW247 Owner and Promoter that his contract guaranteed him a title match and he did not care who it was. However when Heavyweight Champion Michael Devine came out accompanied by the New Internet Champion, Ali Steele and “Big Bad Bully” D Mack; he seemed to have second thoughts. Michael Devine seemed rather confident and why not he had plenty of back up with him. It was clear that Devine had the power advantage. But Tank Lawson turned the tide when he used a foreign object on Devine and then began working on the champion’s leg to cut him down. Devine caught Tank with a side slam and after evading a loaded punch from Tank Lawson; Devine placed Lawson in a submission clutch hold forcing Tank Lawson to tap out. WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION: MICHAEL DEVINE

8th Match: Matt Hardy vs Ty Tyson with Samantha Starr & Moses Manson: This match was the main event of the night. Matt Hardy had an open contract to face any wrestler on the roster. Since everyone had wanted a chance to face Hardy all the wrestler’s names were placed ‘in a hat’ to be chosen by Matt Hardy by drawing a name. The name drawn was Ty Tyson, a member of the Manson Family. Ty Tyson came to the ring with his valet and girlfriend, Samantha Starr, and Manager Moses Manson. Matt Hardy, a former TNA Superstar as well as a former WWE Superstar and Champion was facing a young man who had been making a name for himself through the wrestling world and a former PPW Heavyweight and Internet Champion. Matt Hardy had the edge in experience and knowledge but Ty Tyson kept pace with Matt Hardy in a match that was pretty much a shoot out with each man going hold for hold, move for move. Moses Manson and Samantha Starr at different times became involved in the match enough to give Ty Tyson enough of an advantage over Hardy. Hardy was able to regain control of the match after successfully neutralizing Moses Manson, with a twist of fate before delivering the same to Ty Tyson to end the match. WINNER: MATT HARDY
