1313 Franklin Street at Monroe
Santa Clara, CA
Attendance: 167

Featuring “Gigolo” Steve Rizzono’s first appearance on a pro wrestling show in four years

1. Santa Clara's own Kimo Kanaloa def. "Glamorous" Ryan Von Kool and Mike Silva after pinning Silva in a Young Lion's Challenge match, advancing into the 4-way TroopSlam Title match main event.

Post-match, Silva and Kimo had a small disagreement over Kimo pinning him. However, as Kimo was exiting, Kool brutally beat him down. Silva eventually ran Kool away. Kimo's ribs, back, and elbow were all damaged.

2. The Good Ole Boys: Mother Truckin' Otis & Maynard Skynard def. Kryptonite & "Russian Wolf" Alexis Darevko w/ Buddy Sotello, ESQ., via a double chokeslam pin.

3. Kid Omega def. Mikey "The Dragon" Hayashi via pin.

4. Santa Clara native Jason Styles def. "Rated S Superstar" Chico Vavarro by pin.

5. "Italian Superman" Vennis DeMarco & Killer J Matthias def. The Channel Surfers by DQ when Steve Rizzono intentionally got the Channel Surfers DQ'd by hitting Killer J with his cane after getting out of his wheelchair.
Post-match, everyone thought Rizzono was trying to help the Channel Surfers who he was managing. However, it turns out that it was all a plot by the former "Rizzono Mafia" crew from APW of DeMarco, Tiffany, and Rizzono, with their new big man, Killer J.

6. "The Innovator" Vinnie Massaro (substitute for Puma) def. "Fly Daddy" Jardi Frantz by pin in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

7. Santa Clara's own Kimo Kanaloa def. Ridiculous Mike Rayne, Brian Cage and El Chupacabra to become the FIRST EVER TroopSlam Champion by pinning Chupacabra in a Match of the Year candidate!
