There was a free Fanfest/get-together featuring John Morrison from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. That was followed by the WXW Legends/Fan convention and Q&A from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., which was free to everybody who had tickets for the show that night. This featured Terry Funk, Steve Corino, Chris Masters, D.H. Smith and John Morrison, along with German legends Axel Dieter and Eddy Steinblock and the WXW roster.
The actual wrestling show started at 7:00 p.m. and the drew in excess of 500 fans. This was a rare seating-only show, as usually they only have seating on one side at the Oberhausen events and fans can stand at ringside on the other three sides. They had to change some matches as both Vader and Shane Douglas pulled out.
(1) Miguel Ramirez beat Michael Dante. This was kind of an upset; Ramirez is an upcoming German high-flyer under a mask.
(2) Keel Holding (Aaron Insane & Kim Ray & Sasa Keel) beat The AUTsiders (Big Daddy Walter & Robert Dreissker) & Chris Masters in a six-person tag match. Masters had Insane in the Masterlock, but Keel knocked him out with a gold chain from behind and pinned him.
(3) Hot And Spicy (Axel Dieter Jr. & Da Mack) beat The Reign of Terror (Johnny Moss & Jon Ryan) via DQ to retain the WXW Tag Titles.
Interview: D.H. Smith was interviewed, saying he wants to win the WXW Title and bring some pride and honor back to it. He knows Tommy End is a liar and a cheater. He promised to give Tommy a Hart Attack. Tommy End came out and said he is better than everyone else, especially the Hart Family.
(4) John Morrison beat "Bad Bones" John Klinger, who won TNA's 2013 Gut Check online voting. Morrison kicked out of Bones's "Wrecking Ball Knees" finisher and won with Starship Pain.
(5) Axel Tischer (w/Svetlana Kalashnikova) beat Toby Blunt to retain the Shotgun! Title.
(6) HATE & Steve Corino beat The Piledrivers (Karsten Beck & Sha Samuels). Afterward, the losers gave Corino a powerbomb through a table and gave HATE a piledriver onto the apron. Beck asked for a new legend, then Terry Funk came out, punched the heels, and made Samuels tap out to the spinning toehold. Funk got a standing ovation.
(7) WXW champion Tommy End beat Harry Smith to retain the WXW Unified Title. The finish was End turning a Sharpshooter attempt into a roll-up and scoring the pin.
Post-match, Smith apologized for disappointing the fans and promised to return and win the title. Big Daddy Walter came out and said he can't sleep at night knowing End is champion. He vowed to win the Shortcut to the Top (WXW's version of the Royal Rumble) to get the belt.
