Despite the fact that the title is not on the line in this match, Chucky Blaze holds nothing back, as this young Phenom only knows one speed: Full throttle!! The match gets pretty intense as it progresses, and you'll be surprised at what happens!

This episode's Main Event is for the vacant North American Heavyweight Title! The match itself is a Fatal Four Way with some extra stipulations: Three Stages of Hell! The first elimination is by regular pinfall or submission, after which it becomes a hard-core match. The final elimination for the belt will see the winner put his opponent through a table to gain the victory and the title belt!

The contenders for the vacant title are Gama Singh, Jr., his cousin and tag team partner "Tiger" Raj Singh, Chris Steele, and The Ravenous One, Ravenous Randy!
