HOG Tag Team Tournament Semi-Finals: Young Bucks vs. Amazing Red & Mikey Whipwreck
Red and Nick Jackson started off. Jackson went to hit a dive on Red but he moved and took out his own brother. Red hit an awesome corkscrew dive on both. Mikey went for a dive but then thought better of it. He grabbed Red and they went to the back and came out with a crash pad mat. They put it outside and pulled the Bucks onto it...and then Mikey hit a dive to the outside.
Mikey and Red worked over the Bucks outside the ring. The Bucks took control and slammed Red into a steel-paneled wall and then doubled up on Mikey in the ring. Mikey tried to battle his way out but Jackson thumbed him in the eye. Bucks swarmed over Mikey and beat him down.
Bucks kept working over Mikey and holding him to the mat, nailing him with rights when he tried to get to his feet. Red tried to enter but the referee wouldn't allow it. The Bucks tagged behind the referee's back and Jackson raked Mikey's eyes against the ropes. Jackson missed a charge into the corner and Whipwreck nailed a legdrop off the ropes.
He made the tag to Red who dropkicked both Bucks off the ropes. Almost immediately they cut him off but he turned a rana into a head scissors, Red used a forward roll for a two count. Mikey and Red worked over the Bucks but they drilled Red and caught Mikey with a knee in the face.
They killed Mikey with a superkick but he battled back with one of his own, only to eat two at once. Mikey whipped the Bucks into each other and nailed a Whippernapper. Red came off the ropes with a frog splash but Nick Jackson kicked up. The crowd chanted, "This is awesome."
Mikey and Matt battled over a backslide. Nick supericked Mikey and he went over and was pinned.
Your winners and advancing to the finals, The Young Bucks!
This was the match of the night at this point. A really, really, really great back and forth battle with a fun brawl on the outside and some cool spots. The right mix of action with some comedy early. Great stuff.
