Great matchup and I'll bullet point this because these are hard to keep up with.  But as an aside, I'm really surprised that Strong Champion Lawlor is again relegated to a multi man match early in card like in Chicago.  That guy is legit.  Let him loose here.

Team Filthy knocks the other 5 away and pose over Finlay's body.
Nelson tags in. He and Finlay are trading forearms.  Beautiful dropkick by Finaly
Tonga Loa tags in and slams Nelson.  Limelight tries to help but get spin powerbombed.  
Hip attack by Nelson after Kratos tripped Tonga Loa.

DKC and Limelight tag in and DKC with hard chops and a crucifix bomb for 2.  
Kratos is in the there now and nails a big lariat tk DKC
Tonga Loa comes in (no clue if he's legal).  He and Kratos let each other hot elbows to the jaw.
Kratos catches a leapfrog and nails a big back suplex.
Yuya gets the tag and he hit s a big dropkick. Finlay helps with a double suplex to Kratos.
