Posted April 6, 201114 yr comment_5469234 Introduction of Paul Ellering but no match. Buddy Rose promo with Vince McMahon and the Grand Wizard to set up a match with Piper. EXTRA Paul Ellering promo. Rip Oliver/Ali Hassan/Assassin v. Steve Pardee/Brett Sawyer/Terry Gibbs Opening fall is not bad. Some decent action, nice bumps and okay offense. But nothing that sticks with you either. Second fall starts but quickly cuts off. Oh well. Doug Somers v. Kevin Kelly Middle of this is cut out but it was basically Kelly strength v. Somers heel tactics with foreign object. Rip Oliver, Assassin, et. promo. Okay. Chief Tapu v. Billy White Cloud White Cloud does some cool shit in this including a nice monkey flip and some sweet arm drag variations. Tapu ends up taking over and drops White Cloud face first into the ground a bunch of times. This went to a draw but was not bad. Ali Hassan v. Tommy Rogers Lots of stalling early from Hasaan who eventually tosses Rogers to the floor. Rogers ends up coming back and locking on a strange leglock variation. Rogers leg work was actually really good in general as he mixes things up nicely with strikes, holds, splashes, et. Hasaan comes back with a cheap kick to the throat with his "illegal" boot and the match gets called. Buddy Rose promo. This was pretty good stuff from Buddy as was the norm. Stan Stasiak v. Great Tia Time limit draw. This actually had some way better than expected matwork. Not saying it was anything great, but it wasn't a disaster. Decent match with shitty finishing stretch. Hasaan/Oliver/Ebony promo. Chris Colt v. Billy Jack Haynes Colt's heeling was fun and Billy Jack is Billy Jack. Entertaining enough. Chris Adams/Brett Sawyer promo. Buddy Rose v. Steve Pardee Early on Buddy was an offensive machine here. He fucking kills Pardee with a brutal knee and stomp and then hits an awesome dropkick off of a rope running exchange. Pardee comes back off a drop down spot with a nice arm drag. Cool spot with Buddy going for a chop and whiffing wildly. Pardee does a nice job controlling the arm and they did a really cool spot with Buddy hitting a drop toehold off the ropes but still being able to get into position to go back to the hammerlock. Rose hits a nice suplex for a near fall. Rose ends up pitching him over the top to the floor. Pardee fights his way back in and hits a sunset flip for a near fall and then catches Buddy with a forearm off a leapfrog. Buddy takes his crazy full rotation bump into the corner and then gets posted when he leans up for his trouble. Pardee reverses an inside out suplex attempt but Buddy hooked the leg on impact and scored the fall with a roll up. Really awesome tv main event. Post-match angle with Pardee getting piledriven on a chair and Billy Jack making the save was awesome too.
