Dayton, Ohio
1. Tony Nese vs. “Gentleman” Jack Gallagher
- Tony Nese might be the next cruiserweight in line for a push. The 31-year old from New York pulled off a significant upset this week on former #1 contender, Jack Gallagher.
- Gallagher threw Nese shoulder first into the post, causing a delay in the match. The referee checked on Nese, who looked to have been injured by the move. It was all a rouse however, and Nese caught Gallagher off guard as a result. Nese won with a running knee to the face.
Winner: Tony Nese
2. Mustafa Ali vs. Drew Gulak
- Ali would prove to Gulak that he is more than just a high flyer in this match. Gulak would spend most of the match focussing on Ali’s elbow with submission holds.
- Ali fought back, and looked to go for a …dive late in the match, but Gulak countered. Ali then countered his counter into a pinning combination however, and got the win.
- After the match, Gulak was angry that Ali had used a technical wrestling move to beat him.
Winner: Mustafa Ali
3. Rich Swann vs. Neville (non-title match)
- Akira Tozawa was at ringside, scouting Neville for a possible upcoming title match (most likely at Great Balls of Fire).
- Swann looked to be in control of the match when he went for a Phoenix Splash. Neville got out of the way, applied the Rings of Saturn, and got the submission victory.
- Afterwards, Neville and Swann stared each other down, previewing what will surely be Neville’s next title defence.
Winner: Neville
