Damien Sandow came out dressed as Paul Revere. He said that if he knew all these people would be living here, he wouldn’t have warned anyone about the British. He said that the one thing he is sure about is that Boston lives in the shadow of NYC.
Out came Adam Rose and all the Rosebuds. Former TNA star Rosita was one of them. I am amazed WWE hasn’t signed her. He said Boston was the place to party. Sandow tried to hit him and Rose did his falling stagedive into the Rosebuds. They tossed him back on the apron and Sandow tried again but was backdropped over the top to the floor.
Adam Rose vs. Damien Sandow
Rose controlled Sandow early but was tripped and beaten down with knees and punches across the back. He covered Rose for a two count and locked in a side chinlock. Rose fought his way back but was cut off.
Sandow yelled, “The elbow is coming” and dropped an elbowsmash on a two count. Rose finally made a comeback with a series of rights and a running elbow in the corner. Rose stomped him and went for the Choo Choo clothesline but Sandow cut him off with a clothesline and nailed a full nelson slam for a two count. Rose made a comeback and nailed his finisher for the pin.
Your winner, Adam Rose!
The match was OK. Rose’s entrance, which should be a major deal, feels like it’s getting long in the tooth because of the way it’s being presented and that’s a shame. Sandow really deserves something more than this comedy stuff as again his work was really good.
The Rosebuds all danced.
They showed Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" sitting in the front row with his kids.
They aired pre-taped promos from each competitor talking about why they were going to win Money in the Bank.
