Jushin Thunder Liger, Petey Williams, KENTA, Tiger Mask
At the end of this spectacular match, the Light Heavyweight title picture is not much clearer.

9 Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal to crown IPW World Heavyweight Champion:
This match will be remembered as one of the most rambunctious in wrestling history. Chaos reigned throughout and the shockwaves of which could be felt for months.
It was already announced that Shawn Michaels and Abyss would be entering first and second. But it was The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase who came out first. Clearly suffering from the match he had with Haku earlier in the night, he was determined to join the commentary as scheduled and lend his enlightened opinion.
The early match was a brawl with Abyss taking early charge. The big man thought he had HBK eliminated on a couple of occasions.
The introduction of Andre the Giant at three provided a completely different challenge for the monster Abyss. And the IPW debut of American Dragon Bryan Danielson at number 4 did not abate the Giants’ rampage. But at number 5, Yokozuna appeared. The two giants went at it and it looked like the Japanese legend had Andre teetering on the ropes. Only when the other five entrants joined in, were they able to eliminate a giant. But it was Yokozuna.
It was here when the pandemonium really began. ‘Zuna climbed back in the ring and ran roughshod through HBK, Abyss and Bryan Danielson as well as new entrants Mick Foley (6) and Samoa Joe (7). He reserved special punishment for Andre though, splashing him in the turnbuckle and a Banzai Drop. He was then dragged through the ropes to the outside where the assault continued. Andre was left bleeding on the outside, clearly unable to continue
Back in the ring, Edge joins the match as the final entrant at number nine and he hits Abyss and Danielson with spears before seeking out HBK, who meets him with Sweet Chin Music.
Haku comes out armed with a steel chair and despite him being an illegible entrant, he enters the ring. DiBiase bricks it at ringside but is laughing out loud as Haku attacks Mick Foley and Abyss
Shortly after this, eighth entrant Mike Awesome powerbombed Abyss through the announcers table from just inside the ring. However this incredible show of strength means he drops his guard and that leads to him getting suplexed out of the ring in a joint effort by Danielson and Samoa Joe.
This leaves four entrants, Michaels, Edge, Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson.
Danielson reverses a Muscle Buster attempt into Cattle Mutilation near the corner. Michaels counters an Irish Whip by Edge with a flying forearm. Michaels nips up just as Danielson releases the submission and sends Danielson flying over the top rope with Sweet Chin Music. That leaves three in the ring.
Two of these three fight next week as announced by Stephanie McMahon earlier.
Edge tries to land a spear on HBK who sidesteps him. Edge flies through the second rope to the floor. Joe traps HBK in a drop toe hold and cinches in an STF. HBK taps but to no avail. Joe releases the hold and drags a weakened Michaels up for a Muscle Buster. Michaels fights it and ends up having a fistfight with Joe which he loses. Joe goes again for a Muscle Buster but HBK headscissors Joe and drags him over the top rope.
Joe crashes to the floor and HBK skins the cat and celebrates. DiBiase gets up from his commentary position and grabs a mic. He tells HBK that he did great, but not good enough.
DiBiase climbs in the ring, reminding Michaels that everyone has their price. He then tells Shawn to turn around.
HBK walks right into a chair shot by Edge. Edge drags up a slumped HBK and Dibiase nails with a shot from the Million Dollar Belt.
HBK is unconscious. DiBiase and Edge pick him up and dump him over the top rope.
Edge is the new IPW World Heavyweight Champion, thanks to the Million Dollar Man.
Stephanie comes out and the Corporate Alliance stands triumphantly in the middle of the ring.
