It starts with Landel going"A Mexican, you've got to be ribbing me." Fernandez with a back fist. Manny stuff looks snug as hell. I liked the leg work. Shame Landell didn't sell the damage enough. I loved Landell's character work. While he was offense the match dragged. He was using a rest hold. At least he made it interesting by talking shit. Manny goes back on offense and business picks up. Manny is bleeding and we work the cut. It ends in a draw. Manny is such a beast. Low-End Nomination.

"Ragin Bull" Manny Fernandez vs. "Nature Boy" Buddy Landell

 

Now this is a good matchup. Landell talking before the match saying that they had to be ribbing him to book him against a Mexican then eating a backfist from Manny sending him to the floor was great. Buddy was great here bumping and selling for Manny making him look good as well as getting heat by going to the floor stalling when he needed to. Buddy though would start working over Manny's left arm until Manny caught him in a drop toehold and then started working over Buddy's left ankle relentlessly. Dillon though would rake Manny's eyes when he got close to the ropes allowing Budro to make his comeback. Manny would get busted open hardway during this which added a little extra to the match and Dillon would keep getting shots in but Manny would fight back every time until making his full comeback which was built around his back strikes but missed a diving knee off the middle rope. Landell then locked on the figure-four but Manny reversed quickly until Budro got to the ropes. Steven Gregory the referee called for the bell in a weird situation and said that the match was a time limit draw which the announcers never mentioned a time limit. Even with the screwy finish this was a damn good match and deserves a nomination.
