Your winners, Richard Holliday & Mads Kruger & King Muerte!
Everyone worked really hard here. Hammerstone's charisma for this audience is undeniable. Holliday is a hell of a heel and you can see Alicia growing into her role as a heel antagonist at ringside. The Dallas fans loved the hell out of the Von Erichs.
Richard Holliday took the mic and said he wanted everyone to remember the moment he pinned the champion. He said this isn't Von Erich country. This isn't Hammerstone country. It's Richard country. He said it was always him, but Hammerstone was too stupid to realize it. He promised he will have the gold one day. He walked off with Hammerstone giving chase to the back.
Bandido vs. Flamita
They went back and forth with some insanely fun lucha action from the start. The lovely stuff that you'd expect from them. Flamita tried to unmask Bandido, who fought him off. They battled to the floor and around ringside. They fought to the stage, where Flamita nailed a nasty looking suplex on the ramp. Bandido kept working over Bandido and kicked at him, talking trash and daring him to fight back. Bandido fought to his feet and nailed him with forearms and chops. They went nose to nose and began slugging it out. Bandido came back with a big head scissors takedown, doing a series of rotations that sent Flamita to the floor. He then hit a dive to the floor.
Bandido drilled him and nailed a bodypress from the ropes to the outside. Flamita controlled Bandido for a long time. He teased coming off the ropes, then flipped off the crowd, dropped down and covered Bandido for a two count. Bandido fought back but was caught with a leaping DDT into the ring for a two count. It was CLOSE, as if Bandido almost didn't kick out at the last second. Flamita went for a powerbomb but Bandido turned it into a sunset flip for a two count.
Bandido exploded with a ton of hot offense but in the end, was too spent to capitalize and cover his opponent. The referee began counting them out but they got up before the ten. Flamita walloped Bandido with a superkick and nailed a sit-out powerbomb for a two count. He went for a moonsault but Bandido put his feet up and kicked him in the face. Bandido hit his springboard back suplex for the pin.
