At first glance Kevin Sullivan does not appear to pose any threat, but he exude and aura of menace. He has a brilliant mind and a penchant for violence, a mixture between Napoleon and Hannibal Lecter. He is a brawler and will use any weapon that comes to hand during the course of a match. He is not adverse to attacking officials, commentators, photographers and even fans if they get in his way.

The crazies are here and the Philly crowd gets rowdy watching the hardcore mayhem full of gimmicky spots and weapons.
Cactus Jack and Vader meet on the rampway and brawl like two crazies. Vader tries to clothesline Cactus Jack up against the ringpost, but misses.

Cactus gets punched out to the rampway and reverses a suplex on Vader to bring him out there as well.
Cactus is busted open and have a crimson mask. Cactus Jack delivers a back suplex and pounds away as Harley Race shows up with a steel chair. Cactus blocks a chairshot and takes it away from Race for another chairshot to Vader! They continue over to the graveyard set where there’s a hole ready and waiting for Vader to fall into and a tombstone with his name on it. Cactus goes in with him to lay in some more punches and then walks out to head down the rampway.
Vader climbs out of the grave all bloody. Cactus nails him with a running clothesline and covers for 1-2-3! The 30-second rest period begins. Vader’s up at two and Cactus grabs a cactus prop of the set and hits Vader with it. That knocks Vader down off the rampway to the floor where Cactus gives him a flying elbow! That’s another pinfall for Cactus and after the 30-second rest period, Vader’s up at three. Vader’s getting mad and yanks Cactus off the rampway by his hair! Cactus punches back and tosses a table into the ring. Referee The Boss sets the table up in the corner.
They head into the ring where Cactus whips Vader into the table for two. They go back to the floor where Cactus delivers a sunset flip off the apron. Vader won’t go down and tries to squash him, but Cactus moves out of the way. Cactus puts Vader into the front row and tries to cannonball into Vader over the railing, but Vader stands back and lets Cactus hit the concrete!
Back over the barricade, Vader nails Cactus with a steel chair. Vader delivers a Moonsault! That gets three. After the rest period, Cactus is up at three and immediately kicked into the corner for more brutal punches to the face. They go back to the rampway where Cactus jumps on Vader’s back, so he just falls back on top of Vader. Vader blasts Cactus again with a steel chair, followed by a DDT on the chair! Medical staff run down to check on Cactus, but Vader shoves him them away and covers for three. Vader interrupts the rest period, but Cactus punches back and now Vader receives a DDT on the chair.
