Zicky Dice & VSK vs. Decay

Crazy Steve started out with VSK and outclassed him early on, frustrating the NYC native.  Dice tagged in and grabbed a side headlock but was shot into the ropes.  Dice shoulderblocked him down.  Steve cut him off and nailed a double chop and then gnawed on his head.  Decay whipped Dice into the ropes and doubleteamed him for several two counts.  

VSK tagged in and tried to shoulderblock down Taurus but failed.  He drilled Taurus with a stomp of the foot but was still caught with a powerslam and a series of elbows.  Decay controlled the ring and smashed VSK.  VSK escaped a slam.  He and Dice worked over Taurus and cut off the ring.  Dice ran Taurus into the buckles and nailed several chops.    Dice used his boot to smother Taurus in the corner before mocking him.  VSK came off the ropes with a double axehandle.  

VSK worked over Taurus for a long time, scoring several two counts.  He cinched in a front chancery as the crowd chanted for him.  Dice went to trip up Taurus but snatched VSK by accident.  That allowed Steve to tag in and clean house with a series of clotheslines.  Steve was sent into the corner and went up and cover.  He caught VSK and used a neck cracker.  The crowd chanted for Steve as he bit Dice.

Decay doubleteamed The Learning Tree.  Taurus slammed Dice and scored the pin.

Your winners, Decay!
