Savage acted like a douche towards McGraw to start and McGraw got pissed and threw his t-shirt at Randy and chased him around the ring but got caught and beat down by Savage who still had his robe and headband on. Randy put McGraw upside down on the turnbuckle and stomped on him still with his entrance attire on which was fun. McGraw fought back though and gave Randy a leg scissors over the ropes and to the floor. Randy would regain control though and absolutely crush McGraw with top rope double knees to the chest. However, Savage went to the well too many times and missed his second attempt at a top rope double knee and took a sickening landing on his knees. McGraw worked over his left knee for a while with a spinning toe hold, leg drop to the knee, and whipping it hard on the mat. Randy sold the knee excellently as he limped around gingerly the entire rest of the match. He ended up catching McGraw with a back elbow that sent McGraw flying over the ropes and to the floor. They had a nice exchange on the floor with Randy selling his ass off but at the same time convincingly pounding on McGraw. They got back in the ring and McGraw made his comeback by attacking Savage's bad knee. McGraw went up top and tried an aerial move but Randy caught him in mid-air with a stiff has punch which made McGraw woozy and allowed Savage to awesomely limp up to the top turnbuckle and hit a tremendous flying elbow. Randy made the cover while selling his knee so he made sure his knee was protected. That was really awesome. Savage got the pin for the win and limped out of the ring and couldn't even celebrate. This had a really great performance from Savage who sold his ass off but had convincing heel offense while selling.

WTF? McGraw wins the battle and gets two. Macho with the shoot 2nd rope knee drop. A few minutes later, Macho goes for another one and misses!!!! McGraw working on Macho’s legs! Wow. Macho gets some relief when McGraw was outside but once inside, on his knees, McGraw attacks the leg forcing Macho to bail. AWESOME spot when McGraw came off the top and punched McGraw in the jaw on the way down. Flying elbow drop. 123. Still selling the leg. SOLID NOMINATION.
