Pre-Show Notes:
Before the PPV taping began, Sugar Dunkerton, Dave Scherer's favorite indy wrestler, had a fun match against Kyle Matthews. I was setting up but from what I saw this was real entertaining.
DGUSA was ecstatic about how their Internet broadcast went last night. There were issues early with a modem that wouldn't connect due to an issue with Comcast and they ended up streaming at a lower bandwidth than they planned, but it all worked out well.
Ricochet suffered an ankle injury on Friday night and will not be competing today. CIMA made the call to pull him from the match. He tried to gut it out last night and CIMA decided it was best to pull him.
Matt Hardy is visiting backstage.
There are about 400-450 fans in attendance, down from the crowd last night by a little bit.
Johnny Gargano vs. Jimmy Rave.
They did some nice back and forth wrestling early on. Gargano, on the apron, speared Rave through the ropes. He scissored Rave in the corner and nailed a series of elbows. Rave charged him but Gargano faked him out and Rave went to the floor. Gargano hit a nice tope and turned it into a DDT. They battled on the apron where Rave nailed him with a Uranage on the mat. Rave is really motivated.
Rave nailed a snap superplex off the top. Rave went for the shining wizard but Gargano ducked. Rave nailed a headscissors into a Crippler Crossface but Gargano fought out of it. They charged each other with clotheslines. Good stuff.
Gargano finally locked in the Gargano Lock for the submission after a great back and forth sequence. Really strong opener.
Your winner, Johnny Gargano!
Six Way Freestyle: AR Fox vs. Arik Cannon vs. Silas Young vs. Lince Dorado vs. Rich Swann vs. Sami Callihan
Cannon and Dorado started out. Dorado hit a springboard into an armdrag. Cannon caught him with a kick but Dorado turned it into a rana. Swann and Young tagged in and went back and forth with chops.

Dorado cut him off on the ropes for a superplex but was caught with a Russian leg sweep off the ropes. They had an incredible dive sequence culminating into a 450 springboard splash by Swann and a twisting dive off the ropes.
This left Callihan and Cannon going face to face and back to back. Swann got involved and they drilled him with a series of moves. They continued doubling up on Young. They then looked at each other and said the hell with it and walked out on the match, So we are left with four.
Dorado hit a flipping piledriver on Swann. He went for a shooting star legdrop but missed. Swann superkicked him and hit his leaping 450 splash for the pin.
Your winner, Rich Swann!
