LCW World Tag Team Champions The Wild Samoans defeated The Powers of Pain (with Paul Jones) in 8:10 in a tag team lumberjack by pinfall after Afa pinned The Barbarian after the Samoan Drop. During the match, the Skyscrapers brawled with the Powers of Pain outside the ring.

In the back, Koko B. Ware approached Slick and asked him how he could side with Iceman King Parsons instead of him. Slick said it was simple, "You're a loser, man!" Ware grabbed Slick by the lapels and said he didn't need the Brothahood. Slick said, "Chill, brotha. How about this? I'll let you back into the Brothahood if you can find a partner tonight and if you can win a tag team match against Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson." Ware said he was going to find a partner and beat Atlas and Johnson, but not because he wanted to be back in the Brothahood. "Because I want to prove to you that I'm not a loser and I wasn't the weakest link in the Brothahood," Ware said.

LCW United States Champion Tully Blanchard came out with Baby Doll and they stood on the entrance ramp and a countdown appeared on the LegendsTron counting down to the day February 6, 2008. Blanchard said that is the day that Jake Roberts will be leaving rehab and he said he would be counting down to that day because, if Roberts successfully completes the program, he wants to be the first man that Roberts' faces in the ring. Blanchard said he was defending Baby Doll's honor. He said Roberts made a mistake by hitting her with the DDT because it pissed Blanchard off and he's had two months to think about it while Roberts has been in rehab. Blanchard said he and Baby Doll were going to be there at the rehab facility to greet when Roberts gets out and they were going to be there to welcome him back to the real world with open arms. Blanchard said, "And when you get back into that ring (pointing to the ring), I'm going to kick your ass and send you back to the bottle and back to rehab." Blanchard left with Baby Doll as the countdown clock continued to countdown on the LegendsTron.

In the back, Koko B. Ware approached Hillbilly Jim and asked Jim to be his partner, but Jim said, "I don't think so, man. Some of the things you've done over the past few months just don't sit right with me."

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed The Rock 'n' Roll Express who were without Lady Amazon. Ricky Morton said she was at home convalescing from her ordeal with Kevin Sullivan over the last month after being kidnapped, held captive, and brainwashed. Morton said the brainwashing didn't take and she was at home healing both physically and mentally and she would be back next week. Robert Gibson said they wanted a rematch next week on LCW Showdown because with everything going on at the LCW Ascension pay-per-view last Sunday with Lady Amazon and Kevin Sullivan, they didn't feel they got a fair shot at the titles. Gibson said they just wanted a classic tag team match for the titles. Gibson said, "We just want to make Lady Amazon proud and bring her the gold." LCW General Manager Ole Anderson appeared and said, "You know what, boys? I really like the sound of that. Next week on LCW Showdown, LCW United States Tag Team Champion The Sheepherders will face The Rock 'n' Roll Express and I wish you guys the best of luck."

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The segment from the LCW Ascension pay-per-view featuring Mean Gene Okerlund interviewing UFC President Dana White and LCW Founder Christian Calaway was re-aired. White and Calaway were sitting at ringside and Okerlund asked White about UFC 81: Breaking Point on February 2nd, featuring former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar fighting Frank Mir. White said, "It’s an interesting matchup. Brock Lesnar is a great wrestler, a good athlete, and this is definitely gonna be a big test for him. Frank Mir is a former world champion who is coming off a big win over Antoni Hardonk, and he’s looking to get his career back on track while Lesnar’s looking to walk into the UFC and prove what type of fighter he’s gonna be by trying to knock him off.” Okerlund asked Calaway for his prediction on the fight and Lesnar's possible future as a legend in Legends Championship Wrestling and Calaway said, "You know, I respect Lesnar as a competitor and I wish him the best at UFC 81, I'll be in attendance, but I'm a big Frank Mir fan and I'll be rooting for him. As for Lesnar in Legends Championship Wrestling…only time will tell."
