Footage of a tag match with Hogan/Buddy Rose from Japan.

Buddy Rose promo. He's got gifts from Japan for various guys in the locker room! My favorite is his bottle of tranquilizers for Matt Borne. Matt Borne shows up on the set right after Rose makes a massive financial offer to anyone who can chase him out of the Pacific Northwest. GREAT! EXTRA

Buddy Rose/Matt Borne v. Brett Sawyer/Tommy Rogers (2/3 Falls)

Buddy does his kip up routine and gets smashed up by Rogers for his troubles. Borne and Rose took over on Rogers, with Rose hitting his sweet back elbow. Heel control segment is really good with some stiff knee drops, some great looking suplexes and some really nice double team moves behind the refs back leading to the opening fall.

Second fall starts with the babyfaces in control and Borne ends up doing a nice weeble wobble and frantic sell job off an atomic drop. Sawyer hits some great dropkicks and Rose ends up tied up in the ropes. Rose takes a pounding and does his awesome backwards between the rumps head first bump! Rose ends up "accidentally" kicking Borne in the guts in the corner but they appear to make ammends. Then Borne accidentally does a diving double axe which was shockingly well done. Sawyer cleans house and there is a great sequence with Rose taking a nasty shot off of a dropkick and then a huge bump over the top that results in Buddy arguing with an old lady in the front row. Borne ends up taking over with a nasty arm takedown and then fucking kills Sawyer with a forearm leading to another "accidental" shot between the heels. Interesting hope spot with Sawyer locking on a full nelson and Rogers accidentally hitting him when trying to take a shot at Rose. Sawyer hits an awesome looking double sunset flip for a hope spot but gets cut off and Borne knees him in the face. Sawyer gets the hot tag off of a floatover escape and Rogers lights up Rose and goes for a top rope splash but Borne gets a cheapshot from the apron and he face plants. Rogers escapes a double team with a double dropkick and then Borne accidentally dropkicks Rose and the faces take a really good second fall.

Third fall starts with babyfaces in control working a headlock. Really strange sequence with a monkey flip by Sawyer and then an attempt at another monkey flip that is sort of half way countered. Not really a flub but an odd stalemate moment. Sawyer ends up battling and hitting a suplex and then Buddy goes up for a diving knee but hits Borne leading to the faces taking the fall and the match. Post-match Borne turns on Rose and destroys him with a chair. Damn good match that told an awesome story and had a good post-match angle.

Matt Borne cuts a promo shitting on raise saying Rose is nothing to him. Rose cuts a response promo to Borne's challenge from the ring. Borne hits the ring and attack Buddy again. EXTRA

Mr. Ebony/Mike Miller promo. This was amusing for the wrong reasons.

Tom Pritchard/Brett Sawyer v. Mike Miller/Mr. Ebony (2/3 Falls)

Face shine segment is a lot of fun here as Miller is really good at play befuddled heel and Pritchard and Sawyer are both good fiery babyfaces. Pritchard ends up bumping shoulder first into the corner and going FIP. It was a simple spot but Miller's over the ropes smash of Pritchard's arm was really sick looking. There are a couple of really well done cut off spots with Pritchard going for the hot tag which I always mark out for. At one point Pritchard hits this really great looking jumping back kick from the corner and shortly after word tags in. Damn Sawyer has a great dropkick. Cool spot with Sawyer goign through Ebony's legs and hitting a dropkick and Ebony getting caught up in the wrong corner and just wildly running off in desperation. Awesome spot as Ebony comes back in and is teasing a handshake. He starts looking around at the crowd for approval and Sawyer decks him with another huge dropkick which Ebony takes a big bump for. Miller comes in and they do a GREAT criss cross spot that ends with...a couple of awesome Sawyer dropkicks and Miller falling backwards in fear and bailing to the floor. FUCK another great spot as Miller faces off with Sawyer while Sawyer does the chicken cluck. Ebony crawls in and goes through Miller's legs for a cheapshot but Sawyer leans down and decks him. Awesome. Miller finally has enough and is able to take Miller down and take control. Sawyer gets the tag, but shortly thereafter Pritchard gets pinned after a dropdown/lariat combo. Super fun first fall.

Second fall opens with a quick dropkick nearfall for the babyfaces who take over on the arm of Ebony. Cool spot as Pritchard does a criss cross but drops behind Ebony who "loses him" and ends up eating a dropkick and getting taken down with an armdrag. Miller slips in a knee to Pritchard's back from the apron and tags in. They end up doing a double knockdown off the ropes and Ebony tries to lean over the ropes so Sawyer does the old stand on the ropes and shake them bit knocking him down. Hot tag comes and Sawyer is in. Of course this means dropkicks galore. Faces take the second fall after an atomic drop. Solid fall, though not on the level of the first.

Third fall starts with Miller as aggressor and he hits a wild clothesline that he actually bumps bigger for than Sawyer does. Sawyer ends up getting the tag off of a ricochet bump. Ref bump and all hell breaks loose with Pritchard getting busted open from Ebony's elbow pad and Sawyer getting slammed on the floor by Miller. Holy fucking shit Pritchard looks like he is about to die he is losing so much blood and the heels win with an elbow drop.

I thought the first fall was way better than the 2nd or 3rd falls, but the epic blade job really puts this over the top as something I can see on the set.

Post-match interview with Sawyer and Pritchard. God damn Prichard is bloody.
