Preacher came out for a promo. He suffered a legitimate fractured neck last month taking a DVDR on the apron. He said he came out for a few reasons. He said that he wanted to thank everyone from the CZW locker room as everyone has called him or gone to see him since he was hurt. He wanted to thank every fan that contacted him and helped him get through the injury. He said he had pretty major surgery so it will be a little time before he can return, but he promised he will be back and when he is, he will show everyone something they have never seen before.
Alex Colon came out and apologized, but not for hurting him but because Preacher was "such a p*ssy." Preacher's wife slapped him and he menaced her but out ran Mike Bailey, who hit the ring and stopped it.
*BOTB14 Qualifier - Scramble Match: Caleb Konley vs. Jonathan Gresham vs. Alex Colon vs. 'The Product' David Starr vs. 'Speedball' Mike Bailey vs. AR Fox
Bailey was set to started with Gresham but Starr tagged himself in. Gresham controlled him so Starr tagged out to Konley. This led to a wacky sequence where everyone went for a waistlock from behind on each other in a row. This led to all hell breaking loose with tons of crazy dives and highspots. No chance I can recap all this, but it was a lot of fun. Here are some thoughts/
AR Fox hit his springboard backwards splash to the outside on everyone. That was nuts. Completely nuts.
Mike Bailey really scored with some awesome martial arts kicks that the crowd loved.
Gresham showed some really good in-ring prowess and has amazingly crisp timing. He had a really good showing tonight.
I popped for Konley hitting the pounce. He looked good and had the crowd behind him.
David Starr plays a hell of a dope.
The crowd LOVED the sequence where referee Kevin Keenan laid out the workers and pinned Alex Colon with a GTS.
Mike Bailey vs. AR Fox is going to be a hell of an attraction down the line.
Really crazy stuff ending with Gresham pinning Starr with a big moonsault, stealing the win from Konley.
Alexander James vs. Rich Swann
The crowd loved Swann coming out to Lionel Richie. Swann controlled early. James tossed him over the top. Swann skinned the cat and came back with an awesome series of quick moves including a rana and a dropkick. Swann teased a dive but James' team all stepped in the way. That allowed James to try and attack Swann from behind. Swann saw it coming and tossed James to the floor.
James nailed a neckbreaker to cut Swann's momentum down. He choked Swann against the ropes. James drilled him down and tied up Swann on the mat. They went back and forth and battled by the ropes. James drilled Swann's head rudely into the mat after something seemed to go amiss.
On the floor, James worked him over on the floor. Swann was almost counted out but returned. James scored several two counts but Swann kept kicking out. James brought him to the ropes for what appeared to be a superplex to the outside. Swann blocked it and kicked him, then dropkicked him off the top to the floor. Swann hit a big splash off the ropes for a two count.
Swann nailed a 450 splash off the ropes but one of James' lackies pulled the referee out. Swann nailed a flip dive to wipe the lackies out. This allowed James to nail Swann and drill him to the mat, scoring the pin. The crowd HATED that.
Your winner, Alexander James!
After the match, someone in a mask and a black hoodie hit the ring and attacked Swann, destroyed him, rammed him into the railing and ran off. Three members of security slowly gave chase.
