Marko Stunt vs. Myron Reed
Stunt got a nice reaction from the crowd. They had some nice action early on, mixed with some Stunt comedy. Reed nailed a sitting Thesz Press off the ropes for a two count. Stunt reversed a whip and came off with a leaping takedown. He escaped a belly to back suplex, landing on his feet and nailed a springboard splash. Stunt attempted to suplex Reed but it was reversed and Reed scored a two count. Stunt came back with several kicks to the chest. Reed came back with a charge down the entrance ramp into a leaping RKO into the ring. Somehow, that was only a two count. Stunt whipped out a great Canadian Destroyer for a two count. He went for another move but Reed turned it into a sunset flip and scored the pin. That seemed to delayed the crowd, which was really into Stunt.
Your winner, Myron Reed!
