Before "When Worlds Collide" started, the KSWA presented a "bonus match" with two new faces. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Johnny Ax made his way to the ring before the 7-foot-tall, 350-lb. Jack Massacre. Ax, who weighed in at 220 lbs at the beginning of the day, took the offense to the much-bigger Massacre in the early moments of the match. In fact the offense worked as Johnny nearly shocked and defeated Massacre with a roll up. Once down, Ax worked on Massacre's leg, thus keeping the big man off his feet. However, Massacre uses his strength to make his way to his feet. Once there, he plants Johnny Ax then drops a leg drop. Massacre follows that up with a bodyslam. There's a two-count on Ax as he continues on. Ax rallies and gets Jack in a front face lock. The two trades moves for several moments before Massacre got the moment to get Ax in the corner. Massacre flipped Ax from the top rope and gained a pin. The winner, Jack Massacre.
