Killer Kowalski Memorial Show

All proceeds from the show were donated to the Walter "Killer" Kowalski Memorial Fund" to help pay for his medical bills;[1] A wrestling memorabilia raffle was another attraction, and which included gift baskets (some filled with WWE t-shirts and DVDs), a broken autographed guitar by The Honky Tonk Man, and autographed Killer Kowalski action figures and photographs donated from wrestlers all over the world.

Among those in attendance included Richard Byrne, J. J. Dillon and Kowalski's former tag team partner Ox Baker,[2][3] who each delivered speeches during the 30-minute opening ceremony, as was Walter's widow Theresa who performed a song entitled "When Polish Hearts Are Smiling" (sung to the tune of the Irish folksong When Irish Eyes Are Smiling).

A few wrestlers who had wanted to be at the show, most notably Hunter Hearst Helmsley, were unable to do so due to WWE holding a pay-per-view, Cyber Sunday, in Phoenix, Arizona that same night.

The main event was a twenty-person battle royal, including two female wrestlers, which was won by Tubby Muffin after eliminating Ron Zombie.

Doink the Clown defeated Mr. TA, Tre Smooth successfully defended the BTW Gangsta Championship against Jimmy Jact Cash, and Dukes Dalton and Mike Hallow defeated The French Connection (Antoine Roy and Roberto Rush) to win the BTW Tag Team Championship.
