Announcer KERMIT THE FROG interviewed World's heavyweight champion THE TERROR, who would defend his title later in the show. Terror assured Kermit that Exterminans will be left in "a pit of despair." When Kermit asked if he was making some sly reference with that line, Terror smirked and replied, "You know me too well, Frog. Exterminans, I've done everything to spell it out for you. You know what's coming, but you still won't be able to do a damn thing about it."

Kermit the Frog interviewed EXTERMINANS, the challenger in the evening's World's heavyweight championship match. Exterminans promised all the fans that he heard the World's champion loud and clear. "You've got friends, my man, that's cool. Don't forget, I've got friends, too, friends in high places - and low places." He finished by stating his primary goal was to ensure The Terror would leave the ring at the end of the evening "a bitter, bruised, and broken man."

Semi-final matches:

THE PILLARS OF PAIN defeated THE SHEEPHERDERS.
LUNCH MEAT MUMFORD and PORK CHOP HASH defeated THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS.

Puke Cup Tournament final:

Added Main Event - for the World's heavyweight championship:

EXTERMINANS picked up a win via disqualification over World's heavyweight champion THE TERROR after 18'45". The match did go back and forth, with both wrestlers seemingly in wait for the proverbial dam to burst. That finally happened when THE PILLARS OF PAIN and two familiar-looking men raced through the audience, jumped over the railing, and attacked Exterminans with The Terror leading the assault. That five-on-one attack was short-lived when, suddenly, TANKA SATCHMO, RUSSELL BRUTE, M. KLEATS, and SMOOTH RUDY stormed the ring. A five-on-five battle ensued. Terror and his minions eventually ducked out and began to walk away through the audience. Before he left, Terror grabbed the house microphone and declared to the world, "Screw the damn Puke Cup, screw each and every one of you filthy weirdos! From here on out, you're going to remember this day for The Terror - the World's heavyweight champion - AND the MWF heavyweight champion... for Golem and Quartz, the Pillars of Pain... for my main man Willis Maddox... and for the master of his craft, Pi! Sit back, people, relax, and revel in the glory of this... the reformation of the one... the only... The Pit!"
