I just realized I never posted the results of the above show. Here they are, late, but here none the less:

- "Mr. 300" JP Hawke defeated "Fat Ass" Dewey Gunn (Dewey imitating Billy Gunn)

- NWA Empire Lord of the Dance Champion Stargazer defeated "The Bull of Black Mountain" Gabe Saint in a non-title match

- Blackjack Phoenix pinned Tommy Mandrake in a battle royal earning a shot at the NWA Empire heavyweight title on NWA Empire's next show, June 21st. Also featured in the battle royal were "Glamorous" Glenn Dillon, Mike McGee, "Party Boy" Brett Mednik, Troy "The Boy" Buchanan, "Wonderboy" Zach Atticus, Steve Davidson, and Rex Atkins

- Ron Falco (w/Mandi Stroyer) defeated Brandon Thurston
After the match, Falco grabbed the mic and called out "Big Rig" Brodie Lee, who he blames for costing he and Partner Eric Everlast a victory against Rhythm & Booze at the last show. Lee ran in behind the referee's back and kicked Falco in the head as he was about to pin Buddy Delmar of Rhythm & Booze, allowing Delmar to recover and get the pin. Because of a pre-match stipulation in that match, Falco and Everlast can no longer team up. Brodie Lee didn't come out, so Falco called Lee a chicken and said that at the next Empire show, he was challenging Brodie Lee to a match and that the show wouldn't go that evening unless The Big Rig faced him man-to-man in the ring.

- NWA Upstate Tag Team Champions Rhythm & Booze ("Tennessee Strangler" Buddy Delmar & Frank the Tank(w/manager "Colonel" Johnny Kayfabe)) defeated the Ring Crew Express ("I Can't Drive 55" Dunn & "Diamond" Dave Marcos (w/valet Nikki Jett)) when Buddy Delmar pinned Sammy Dunn using the ropes for leverage.

- "Mastiff" Will Christiansen defeated NWA National Champion Pepper Parks in a non-title match, hitting a top rope diving headbutt after suffocating Parks with a plastic bag while referee Brett Vincent was down. Before the match, Mastiff said that his long-time nemesis Jimmy Olsen wasn't in the building because he was booked for another show, but that he feels that the real reason he wasn't there was because Olsen is scared of him. Mastiff said he hoped Jimmy would be watching the tapes of this match because the next time Jimmy steps in the ring with him, he would be in for the fight of his life.

"Inferno" Johnny Adams defeated "The Rican Sensation" Maximo Suave in arguably the match of the night

- Club Elite members "Wrestling Personified" Chris Cooper & Ice defeated "Exceptional Icon" Eric Everlast & NWA Empire Co-Tag Team Champion Evan McCloud when Ice pinned McCloud after a Frostbite (Sit-Out Powerbomb). The match was supposed to see Evan and Kyle McCloud defending the tag belts, but Kyle is still out with injuries suffered in a match in March against former champions Rhythm & Booze.

- NWA Empire Champion Jonny Puma defeated "The Amazing" Kevin Grace with the Johnny-on-the-Spot (Reverse Russian Leg Sweep) after Kevin became distracted at the appearance of Puma's Club Elite buddies Ice and Cooper at ringside.

The next NWA Empire show, entitled Buffalo Beatdown II, is scheduled for June 21st at St. Johnsburg Firehall (7165 Ward Road (Route NY-429)) in North Tonawanda, NY.
