Before the show began, we were shown a video of Rhino, CW Anderson and Lou E. Dangerously attacking Mike Awesome with lead pipe, crushing his ribs. Styles and Cyrus explained that Awesome still wanted to compete, but would be at a severe disadvantage. It looks like Anderson is the newest member of The New Dangerous Alliance.

-Christian York and Joey Matthews defeated Danny Doring and Roadkill in a Ladder match. This included a few very good spots, including a super frankensteiner from Matthews to Doring from the Ladder. The match ended with Roadkill climbing up the ladder, but then being pushed off by Matthews and York, to the outside and through a table. York and Matthews then grab the briefcase hanging from the ladder.

-CW Anderson defeated Mike Awesome in an ECW TV Title Tournament Quarter Final match, which stipulation was a Hardcore match. Awesome dominated the match, even going as far as to bust Anderson open on the forehead. However, Lou E. Dangerously was the deciding factor in the match. He tried to hit Awesome with his cellphone, but was then grabbed and Awesome bombed. Awesome then turned into a steel chair shot into his injured ribs and a spinebuster from Anderson. Anderson then got the three count to advance.

-Jerry Lynn defeated Balls Mahoney in an ECW TV Title Tournament Quarter Final match, which was a Hardcore match, just like the other Quarter-Finals. Mahoney delivered a few of his trademark chairshots, bending the chair. But, Lynn wouldn't back down. Lynn finally won when he hit the Cradle Piledriver on a steel chair to grab the victory, and advance.
