Yes, THAT Barbarian! He doesn’t want a respectful handshake. He wants to fight Heavyweight Hustle! Tankman with the early arm drag takedown. Barbarian goes to grind him down with a waist lock, big hip toss sends Tankman down. Barbarian with a big chop and Tankman is ready to play. Tankman takes Barbariam off his feet with a second chop!

Match 2: Shazza McKenzie vs Billie Starkz

This is very even from the get go. They test each other in the graps, going through multiple pin attempts. Starkz is showing a more aggressive, desperate side than I’ve seen before. Shazza takes control and Starkz grabs her ponytail and drags her opponent around and lands a bunch of kicks in it. Shazza fighting back but Starkz taunting and landing some heavy chest kicks. Starkz is having a great time whipping Shazza to the ropes. McKenzie bounced of the apron and Billie tries to get the countout win. Shazza taking a beating here but gets the elbow up to a charging Starkz. Forearms back and forth, Billie gets trapped in the ropes and Shazza makes her eat feet. Shazza with a sitout powerbomb for two! Billie with a palm strike, Billie flies to the floor, suicide dive to the outside! Shazza with a top rope crossbody for two! Shazztastic Stunner! Billie kicks out! Shazza comes running and the ref takes a bump! Billie grabs a chair! Bully Starkz indeed! Starkz blasts Shazza with the chair. She smiles and hits a swanton bomb and gets the three as the ref wakes up. I’m liking Evil Billie. 

Winner: Billie Starkz

Match 3: Effy vs Charlie Haas

Blink Blink…What? This show just might have the WTF matchups factor that I think was missing from Spring Break this year. Haas wants this to be a wrestling match, Effy can be so much more if he applies himself. Also Haas hates the fans. And the fans hate him. Effy is game for this and Haas hesitates before running for the ropes in a hammerlock. Haas is a little thrown by Effy more than holding his own…and then he IS thrown into the ring post on the outside. Haas finally powerwhips Effy over the corner to the floor. Haas rips Effy’s fishnets and figure fours him on the ring post! Effy with an elbow to the head! Effy misses a blockbuster and kick. Haas catches the Under the Rainbow into a Stretch Muffler! Effy escapes a piledriver and sunset flip rolls Haas up for the three! Haas is VERY grumpy about this result.
