‘The Hardest Hitting Man’ in ECW faced off against perennial crowd favourite Mixer. Mixer, defied his underdog status, by taking the advantage with a flying forearm and a wakigatame takedown that lead to a crossface attempt. A spinebuster bought Mixer the first close near fall of the match. He continued pouring on the pressure with a reverse DDT and a powerbomb but could not put Slick Rick’s protégé away.

Carnage finally took control of the match by hitting a sitdown spinebuster. A running powerbomb gave him another two count but did not finish Mixer off. Mixer may have tapped out to Carnage’s dragon clutch if not for his feet being on the ropes.

The match finally spilled to the outside where Carnage battered Mixer around the ringside area. When the battle resumed in the ring Mixer reversed Carnage’s ‘Poetic Justice’ attempt into a ‘Poetic Justice’ of his own. Jamie Jurah then made his way down to ringside as both Mixer and Carnage inadvertently crushed Simon Cage in the corner. Mixer slapped on a crossface that had F.N. tapping out until Jurah entered the ring to break the submission attempt. Mixer went after Jurah but was cut off by Carnage. Mixer managed to stay in control and went for the ‘Mixing It Up’.
