Posted April 16, 20187 yr comment_5842953 We get the ring introductions for both teams and then the action jump cuts to a later portion of the match with Large already down and on the mat. Side headlock that Large is able to power out of with a Blue Thunder Driver, however he’s unable to make the tag to Bergstrom as Tyler grabs his ankle and pulls him back to his own corner. Roselli drops an elbow and then goes over to taunt Bergstrom on the apron. It’s a plan to get him into the ring so he can get in some illegal offense behind the referee’s back, something that C.W. falls for hook, line and sinker. Front headlock by Roselli and Large slowly starts to drive him backwards getting ever closer to Bergstrom. That brings in Tyler, although it’s just to distract the official who, while dealing with him, misses the tag to C.W. Tyler gets caught when climbing the turnbuckles and Large slams him to the mat, but then fails to connect on the lariat and runs into a superkick. Same front facelock, distraction, ref misses the tag spot as earlier. Large ducks a double clothesline, lands a double dropkick and makes the hot tag, one that the official finally sees! C.W. cleans house with a pair of bodyslams and a high knee on Roselli, before snatching Tyler and planting him with a chokeslam. Just as it looks like we might have a title change, at the count of two Roselli is back in the ring and cracks Bergstrom over the back and the head with a chair for the belt saving DQ. This was fine for what it was and kind of fits in with the way things are in Portland. Nothing world beating in the way of action, but heels looking to get heat on the faces and cheating in order to do so. After the couple of IWC SoCal matches I’d just watched, this traditional way of doing things made a very welcome change!
