This was not really a match, as Knox dominated for nearly the whole thing. Powers was able to get in a few moves, but they were srugged off and Knox then put him away.

KotR: One on One Match

NWA North American Heavyweight Championship Match

This war of up and coming NWA stars has been heating up. Dolph nearly lost his championship but with a low blow and a rope assisted backslide, Ziggler left the arena, still holding the gold.
RESULT: Dolph Ziggler pinned Harry Smith after a backslide in 24:21 to retain the NWA North American Heavyweight Championship.

After the match, Shawn Michaels announced that Dolph and Smith would face off at Glory Bound for the North American Championship!

Cage Match
Special Referee Cody Rhodes
Dustin Rhodes
-vs-
Rob Van Dam

RVD had a fight on his hands and the referee was no help.... In fact at every turn, the ref had his back turned. Cody only assisted Dustin in this match. RVD was able to bloody Dustin after slamming his into the cage repeatedly. Cody threatened to end the match. An errant clothesline from Dustin sent Cody into the cage, and out the door. RVD and Dustin continued to beat the hell out of one another. RVD hit a 5 Star from the TOP of the cage, but with Cody still out on the arena floor, he could not get the pin fall. RVD then went out and dragged Cody into the cage and made him count the 3!
RESULT: Rob Van Dam pinned Dustin Rhodes after a 5 Star Frog splash from the top of the cage in 19:41.

Decent little show here, RVD/Rhodes was a great cage match and I also enjoyed the 2 NA Title matches and Riley's continued push.

[Kevin Elliott]

I chuckle at the fans going nuts for Wes Brisco, but if anyone could get the fans to do so, it would be Tyson Kidd. I have grown to dislike cage matches due to their booking in real life, so I wasn’t a fan of the main event. Other than that, a good show. I don’t see a problem with its length, either, so no worries about that

[Dustin Smith]

Enjoyable little show out of Cali, hopefully you get more time to write on your next one.
