The first match was an Invitational tournament semi final between Anda Nothica and F.N. Carnage. This match blasted out of the blocks with Nothica landing his patented 450 splash in the first 30 seconds. Carnage was saved only by Slick Rick pulling the referee from the ring. Carnage made the best of the situation by asserting his size advantage over his much smaller opponent. After a quick towel break from Rick, it was back to work for Carnage as he beat The Human Highlight Reel all over the ring. Nothica fought back using his quickness but Carnage continually took control with brute power moves. A liontamer in the ropes had Nothica screaming in pain but he would not give in. A tornado bulldog, running swanton and 2^nd rope splash only bought Nothica a 2 count. Carnage gorilla pressed Nothica and dropped him into a gut buster but could not put him away. Even an upside down stunner only registered a 2 count. Nothica’s desperation hurracanrana was reversed into a huge ‘Poetic Justice’ for the win to Carnage.
