    • POST MATCH: The 187 then asked Fat Frank for a match with them next month, Frank then said, why wait lets do it now as the crowd erupted! Frank then added a few stipulations to the match. If 187 was pinned by ANYONE, We would lose the title. If Hernandez was to be pinned they would lose the tag team titles. If any member of BLK OUT was pinned they would have to leave JAPW after just finally arriving there
    • During this Brawl the Light’s Went Out! When they came back on Homicide’s arch enemy for life Teddy Hart was standing in the ring and received a crowd reaction that just can’t be explained, peoples ears were ringing as the fans tipped the rector scale that moment.
    • Teddy then laid the 187 out and hit him with some flipping crazy 350 plus 280 plus 350 elbow slash moonsault etc. BLK OUT MEMBERS then placed Senshi (Low Ki) on top of the 187 for the pin, Senshi had regained the JAPW World Heavyweight Title! Senshi was still hurt an inactive due to his grueling match with Homicide
