They are using a new ring apron and everything else from the ring, including the ropes, has been sanitized. All of the talents wrestling has had their temperature taken to make sure they are not running a temp. He asked everyone to practice social distancing and to be safe and said that everyone is going to kick out at two and beat this.

Your winner, Anthony Gangone!
Gangone said you think this is all fun and games but there is nothing fun about professional wrestling. All last year, he played mind games and backed down to people. The last show, he was punked out by Jimmy Rave...in 2020? He said Rave is a veteran. He helped build the table that all of us eat from but he doesn't want to share that food on the table. He said he's finally listening to Valentina. He has a lot more to offer CZW than playing mind games. He's going to walk up to that table, take whatever he wants and flip that table over so everyone else has to eat from the floor and said that if everyone else has an issue with that, they can come and do something about it.
Griffin McCoy vs. Kris Bishop
They locked up with Bishop working over McCoy’s arm. They went back and forth with a nice series of reversals and pinfall attempts. Bishop nailed a running back elbow. Bishop was elbowed off the top to the floor. He returned to the ring and nailed a back kick to the face to slow McCoy’s momentum.

They battled back and forth trying to gain the advantage. Bishop leapt into an inverted DDT and scored the pin.
Your winner, Kris Bishop!
Lots of athletic spots here.
They went to a video outside with Young Dumb & Broke. They called their opponents a bunch of jobbers. This obviously aired in the wrong position as it included McCoy knocking Bishop before their match.
