Finals

Former tag team partners and life long friends, "Deja Vu" Richard Phillips and "The Gangsta of Love" Andre Heart would go head to head.

Prior to the match Andre got on the microphone and expressed what appeared to be genuine heart felt feelings towards Vu and that he wanted their match to be a good clean fight.

And the match started off that way with both men showing each other respect, but in the end it proved to be a lot of talk, as Andre Heart once again managed to find a way to stoop lower, when with the help from a hammer to the head, Andre Heart picked up a dirty victory over his "best friend" Richard Phillips.

Andre then demanded the microphone as Vu was being helped out of the ring. Andre announced that he was going to challenge Jake Crist for the HWA Heavyweight Title at Norwood.

This prompted the HWA Heavyweight Champion Jake Crist to show up and get in Andre's face and not only accept Andre's challenge for Norwood, but  he offered to put the title on the line right then and there.

Andre accepted and it appeared the fans in Springdale were about to get another bonus match... but when the bell rang instead of fighting Jake, Andre made his way out of the ring and to the locker room.
