They brought out Larry Legend to ring announce the main events. He was doing his spiel when Joe Gacy walked out and nailed him. He cut a promo saying that other than Matt Tremont, where were all the other CZW originals. He said the show was full of a bunch of people he doesn't even know who are ready to go take a deal to go elsewhere. He said he hoped that everyone in the back was listening because there's not going to be any politics here. Fans chanted for "Wifebeater" and he said he could kick Wifebeater up. He said he was tired of people using this place to get to greener pastures but he isn't doing that.
A group of masked man brought a barbed wire board into the ring and placed it into the corner. Gacy said part timers like Legend are what is ruining CZW and the business. He said if CZW was going to remove barbed wire from its logo, he was putting it back into CZW. He beat Legend up and ripped off his suit and shirt, then hit a running DVDR through the board on Legend. Wow, I didn't expect Legend to be eating barbed wire tonight.

Back and forth chanting for each competitor. They locked up and Janela snapped Lio down to the mat, then challenged him to bring it. Rush responded with a dropkick to the legs and Janella was rebounding off the ropes. They ended up on the floor, where Rush nailed a rana and hit a dive. He went for another but Janela returned to the ring and nailed one on him instead. Janela went for another but Rush returned to the ring and challenged him to face him.

Your winner, Lio Rush!
Janella took the mic and said this wasn't the last time they were going to meet and that they were going to fight forever. They hugged. The crowd chanted, "Thank you Lio!" Rush said that a few years ago, he was traveling three hours from Maryland to NJ to work at the Dojo Wars show with a newborn and his family who wanted to support him. He said Janela was there and they wanted to prove themselves as the best wrestlers in the world. He told the audience "I f***ing love you guys." He said that whether they cheered him or booed him for whatever reason they wanted, "I f***ing love you guys." He said that as a 22-year old kid with a baby, he wanted to thank them for giving him a chance to showcase himself as one of the best wrestlers in the world. He said he didn't want to take up too much of everyone's time, he wanted to tell everyone in the back, those who came to ringside and to DJ Hyde, thank you for the oppportunity to prove himself. He said that wherever he goes after this, he promises that he will blow "the motherf***ing roof off that place" and will never stop bleeding black and yellow and will never forget about each and every one of the fans.
