We are now going to intermission so they can set up the steel cage for Wargames!

Shane Strickland and his team of Tommy Dreamer & John Morrison & Barrington Hughes & Kotta Brazil vs. Sami Callihan and his team of Abyss, Jimmy Havoc & The Death Machines in a two-ring Steel Cage Wargames the Match Beyond.

The first man out for Team Strickland is Kotta Brazil.

The first man out of Team Callihan is Fulton.

Brazil hit a dive out the cage door as Fulton was coming into the cage.  Brazil worked over Fulton but was caught and slammed into the cage.  Fulton nailed Brazil into the cage.  Fulton pressed him against the cage and charged into a splash into the cage.  Brazil was worked over and whipped hard into the buckles.    Brazil was drilled into the cage again and again.

John Hennigan was out next, so Team Strickland won the coin toss.  THE BABYFACES WON THE COIN TOSS????

Hennigan entered the ring and ducked a right hand.  He began drilling Fulton and finally scored with a superkick.   Fulton was worked over.

The next man out was Jimmy Havoc.  Havoc used a photo to give Morrison papercuts.  He then attacked Brazil and did the same across his forehead.  Fulton used a stop sign, working over Morrison.

The third man out was Shane Strickland for his team.    He was attacked by Callihan from behind as he entered the stage.  Callihan tossed him off the stage with Strickland crashing atop a table.  It didn't break so Callihan slammed him through it.  He slammed the cage door into Morrison's head.   Team Callihan ran roughshod over Strickland's team, running them into the cage and just brutalizing them.  Callihan hit a splash off Fulton's shoulders.

Strickland never made it to the ring and was carried out by the ring crew. 

Tommy Dreamer was next for Team Strickland, tossing a ton of weapons into the cage.  He began caning everyone in sight.  Dreamer tied Callihan to the tree of woe, nailed Havoc with a trash can.  Morrison nailed Fulton with a bottle of water.  Dreamer nailed a hesitation dropkick on Callihan, who had a stop sign placed over his face.  Dreamer and Brazil worked over Havoc.

Leon Scott from Team Callihan was next.  He entered the cage and assisted Team Callihan.  Callihan caned Dreamer low.  He began unloading on Brazil and then Hennigan.  They placed a trash can over Hennigan and began beating it with a chair and the Singapore Cane.  

Next out for Team Strickland is Barrington Hughes.  Nothing phased him when he was hit.  He ran through Scott when Scott rebounded off the ropes.  Havoc drilled him in the head but Hughes didn't feel any pain.  He then wiped out Havoc with a stiff clothesline.  Callihan finally nailed Hughes with the stop sign and that dazed him.   The battle continued.

The final man for Team Callihan is Abyss.  He came out carrying a bag of tacks.

The Match Beyond officially begins...submit or surrender.

Abyss was met by Dreamer, who nailed some Clubbering blows.  The crowd chanted for Dusty.   Everyone brawled, throwing each other into the cage and battling.  Abyss and Hughes met in the center of the ring, battling.  Abyss went for a chokeslam but Hughes was unable to be moved.  Team Callihan all dove on Hughes and beat him down.  Brazil hit an awesome Code Red on Jimmy Havoc.  Abyss grabbed him and that sparked a series of moves where everyone in each ring was involved in a submission attempt and then Dreamer and Hughes reached over the ropes to clasp each others' hands to pull and really put the impact into the attempted submissions.

It's pretty brutal.  Fulton was busted open on his cheek.   Havoc was bleeding.  Callihan wiped out everyone and told Abyss to bring the tacks.  He tried to put Brazil down onto them but Brazil fought his ass off to escape and then hit a sliced bread #2.  Abyss took the tacks.  Brazil grabbed a coil of barbed wire and he and Dreamer wrapped Hughes in barbed wire.   He  charged with an avalanche on Scott in the corner but Fulton got in the way and ate the splash.  Hughes nailed a big splash on Fulton and the team all grabbed extremities as Hughes wrapped barbed wire around his face until he finally tapped.

Your winners, Team Strickland!

All kinds of brutality here.  I think the match was good, but it was obvious the crowd was tired after a long taping.  

Callihan's team turned on Jimmy Havoc and destroyed him after the match for a long time.

POST SHOW NOTES

The official paid attendance was 907.

The promotion will be returning to Fort Lauderdale, but the date isn't confirmed as of this writing.  It's something MLW was working on and an announcement will be forthcoming.

Diamante of LAX fame was in attendance.

Fulton was legitimately split open on his chin from a spot where Kota Brazil's head collided with him.  It looked pretty nasty backstage and I am sure he is going to need medical attention for it.
