HOH ON TV? COMPLETE HOUSE OF HARDCORE VII COVERAGE

Davey Boy Smith Jr. & Lance Hoyt vs…..

This was originally scheduled to be The American Wolves vs. Hoyt and Smith.

Smith took the mic and said it’s come to their attention that Davey Richards has a tummy-ache and doesn’t want to come fight. He said that’s carny for being scared. He said they were the best tag team in the United States, Japan and the entire world. Lance Hoyt started ripping on the crowd and said no one was going to do anything about it.

Out came Team 3D with no music, Dudley Boyz style. The crowd popped, then chanted, “Get the tables” and “Welcome back.”

Bully Ray took the mic and said he’s going to be really honest with them – they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. The crowd chanted, “We want fire.” Ray explained to Hoyt that the crowd wanted them to set him on fire, and this was Philadelphia, so the fans really mean it.

He said that no one wants to see them wrestle tonight. They want to see Team 3D fight. He said that if he knows these people like he thinks he knows these people, they want to see “you motherf***ers go through tables.” They all brawled and 3D cleared the ring.

Team 3D cleaned house on Hoyt and Smith. Bully drilled Hoyt over the back with a chair. They all brawled on the floor. The crowd chanted for tables. Back in the ring, Smith and Hoyt cut off the former Dudleys and worked them over. The crowd was all over there.

Hoyt drilled Ray with a big boot to the face. The crowd rallied 3D, chanting, “Dudleys.” 3D made the comeback and hit a Doomsday Device. The crowd called for tables but Hoyt and Smith cut off 3D and placed Devon on the table. Hoyt went to the top to moonsault Devon but Bubba hit him with a chair. 3D powerbombed Hoyt off the ropes through a table and pinned him.

Your winners, Team 3D!

Bully Ray took the mic and asked everyone to welcome home The Dudley Boyz. Big pop for that!

Drew Galloway vs. Austin Aries

They were feeling each other out early on. Galloway showed a lot of aggression early on and worked over Aries with lots of stiff kicks and shots in the corner. Aries fired back with a chop across the chest but was drilled down to the mat with a HARD chop from Galloway.

Aries fired back and knocked Galloway out of the ring. He went for a dive but was drilled with a forearm. Galloway nailed a backbreaker on the apron outside. Galloway continued working him over and nailed a suplex, then cinched in a nerve hold.

They battled to the floor. Galloway drilled him over and over with stiff shots to the chest. Back in the ring, Aries tried to mount a comeback but was cut off. He finally nailed a rana but was backdropped over the top to the apron. They battled back and forth.

Aries came off the top with a back scratch to the floor and then nailed a neckbreaker in the ropes. He locked in a Last Chancery but Galloway made it to the ropes. Galloway nailed an elbow to the face and hit an Alabama Slam variation with Aries hanging over the ropes upside down before he was smacked over.

Galloway drilled Aries into the turnbuckles and kicked Aries off the buckles to the floor. Aries charged him on the floor but was elevated as he was tossed into the ringpost. The crowd began chanting, “F*** TNA.”

They returned to the ring and began exchanging punches and forearms. Galloway nailed a sitdown powerbomb for a two count. They battled back and forth with strikes and punches as Aries finally got the better of the exchange, only to be nailed with a leg lariat for a two count.

Aries nailed a dropkick. Galloway went for a suplex but Aries kneed him while upside down. He rebounded off the ropes and was caught with a knee. Aries came back and scored a surprise pin.

Your winner, Austin Aries!

Long back and forth match with a lot of good wrestling.
