They then held a tribute ceremony for the late Bruiser Brody. WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas, announced as the new NAWA Commissioner, brought Brody's widow, Barbara Goodish to ringside. Atlas thanked the fans for coming out. He said Brody was one of the best and biggest and strongest and roughest wrestlers who had ever been in the business. He said that Brody was a good friend of his and said he loves Brody's wife and son. He asked the crowd to give her a round of applause.
Atlas said that he doesn't know how many people saw Dark Side of the Ring. He said it breaks his heart to hear Brody's son say everyone has a Bruiser Brody story but him. He said everyone here are wonderful and great Americans for supporting a wonderful man and wife in their time of need. He thanked everyone.
Barbara Goodish took the mic and thanked everyone who still remembers Brody 32 years later. She still today gets told so many stories. Fans who were born after everything happened will show her tattoos of her husband and it's wonderful to be around everyone. When Brody wrestled, all he wanted to do was give them the best night of their lives. Without the fans, there wouldn't be any pro wrestling and asked the fans to give themselves a round of applause.
Goodish said they are going to show a video. They aired a video featuring comments from a number of stars including Billy Graham, One Man Gang, Hacksaw Duggan, Haku, Ric Flair, Bret Hart and more, mixed with a lot of photos and video, including clips of The Undertaker talking to Steve Austin from the WWE Network.
Atlas said it was his honor to present Goodish with a championship belt so she can know and remember "our love and respect for her husband." Goodish was really surprised and thanked Tony Capone for the wonderful tribute to her husband and said that he deserves applause as well. This was nice.
They aired a promo from Marina Tucker pushing the February PPV.

CCW Spotlight Match: The Brazilian Destroyer Vinicious (with Bill Alfonso) vs. Ariel Levy
Fonzie almost stepped right into the firework sparklers as they went off during the entrance. OOF. Vinicious a big masked guy.
Levy is a well known actor in Chile we are told.
It's David vs. Goliath with Vinicious attacking Levy at the bell and working him over. Levy was being worked over for a long time during the opening portions of the bout. Ariel finally nailed a dive and tossed him back into the ring. He went to the top for a splash but was cut off. Vinicious grabbed him by Levy turned it into a neckbreaker. Levy looked good but raw.
Levy went for a double knee strike but was caught and hit with a Samoa Drop. He squashed Levy with a back senton splash but Levy got up at the last second. Levy made a comeback and had a pinfall made, but Fonzie pulled the referee's shoes off. That's different. As she argued with him, Vinicious drilled Levy and hit a piledriver for a pinfall.
Your winner, Vinicious!
After the match, they ran an angle where Fonzie tried to recruit Ariel as a new client and they shook hands.
