Welcome to the Darkside

Ricky Fuji and his band started the event by performing Fuji's entrance theme song "Sexy Storm". The first match of the event was a singles match between Super Leather and Hido. Hido delivered a low blow to Leather and used several moves to keep the momentum and performed a moonsault from the middle rope. Leather got some near-falls on Hido and after failing in an attempt, Leather executed a brainbuster for the victory. After the match, Team No Respect played a Brief Brothers skit.[3]

The Gladiator competed against three low-card competitors in a gauntlet match. He defeated his first opponent Naohiko Yamazaki after an Awesome Bomb.

Gladiator tried to perform an Awesome Bomb but Pogo escaped it and delivered a backdrop suplex. He continued the momentum with an elevated cutter and a chokeslam. Gladiator made a comeback by performing a release German suplex but Pogo did not sell the move and charged at him but Gladiator hit a boot. He then hit a lariat and an Awesome Bomb for the win.[3]

Kodo Fuyuki and Yukihiro Kanemura defended the Brass Knuckles Tag Team Championship against their Team No Respect teammates Jado and Gedo. Both teams exchanged momentum throughout the match.

Fuyuki attempted a running lariat on Gedo but Gedo countered with a backfist and then ran towards Fuyuki, who hit a running lariat on Gedo to retain the title.[3]

The Darkside Hayabusa took on Koji Nakagawa. Nakagawa dominated the earlier part of the match but Hayabusa hit him with a fork and made him bleed. Hayabusa delivered a low blow to Nakagawa and delivered a springboard legdrop to Nakagawa's groin and then attempted to hit the referee but the referee ducked it. Nakagawa made a comeback with a low blow and placed a table in the corner and tried to toss Hayabusa into it but Hayabusa countered it and then delivered a high kick and hit Nakagawa with the table to send him outside the ring. Hayabusa put Nakagawa through the table with a diving senton through the top rope but the table did not break and he followed with a senton bomb. Hayabusa grabbed a piece of table to hit Nakagawa but Nakagawa countered it and attempted to hit him with the fork but Hayabusa blinded him by spitting red mist in his eyes. Hayabusa delivered a facelock jawbreaker and a Falcon Arrow to Nakagawa and then hit a backfist to the referee. Go Ito went to the ring and Hayabusa grabbed him and delivered a kneeling reverse piledriver. Hayabusa then climbed the top rope for a Phoenix Splash but the lights went out and Mr. Gannosuke returned to FMW in a Jinsei Shinzaki disguise and hit Hayabusa with a Powerbomb, allowing Nakagawa to win the match. After the match, an irate Hayabusa attacked the referee.[3]
