Spotlight Match: Evens Stevens (Steven Azure & Steven Somerset) vs Austin Luke & Reid Walker  (Saturn & Kronus Eliminator Qualifying Match)

If Team H20 loses, I riot. Walker drops Somerset and makes him eat a double knees. Luke in but he takes a shot and Azure tries to capitalize. Luke throws him right in the buckles and H20 takes over. Somerset tossed to the floor but Azure saves him from a Walker dive to the floor. The Steves double team Walker and keeps him away…until Walker crawls under them both for the tag! Somerset tossed! Luke hits a yakuza kick! Kick out! H20 go for chasing the dragon…It’s gets cut off and Luke gets rolled up for the three. Nooooooooo! Walker is MAD at Luke for losing to these goobers. The Steveos do a lap around the ring like they just won a title. I can’t wait for someone to murderlize them in the tourney as my opening statement for this match did not age well. 

Winner: Even Stevens 

And we’re live on IWTV! Paul Crockett is your commentator! Rich Palladino is your announcer. Let’s goooo! 

Match 1: Mike Skyros vs Tyree Taylor

The crowd is glad to see Tyree back in action this week. Skyros gives him a nice wary pummeling for daring to be cheered. Tyree BLASTS out the corner with a shoulder tackle. Uranage connects but Skyros trips him into the buckle. Skyros taunting the crowd as he beats Taylor down again. Tyree catches a lariat, back suplex and a corner spear!

Exo isn’t done and kicks her defeated opponent out of HER ring. 

Winner: Delmi Exo

Match 3: The Church of Greatness (Brother Greatness & Brother Jay Heru) vs Locked & Loaded (Dan Barry & 50 Cal)  (Saturn & Kronus Eliminator Qualifying Match)

Dan Barry is dressed up in line with 50 Cal and it’s amazing. Heru tries to show Dan Barry how to wrestle…that doesn’t go well. Brother Greatness tries to give a sermon to 50 Cal. That ALSO goes just as well. 50 Cal finally dropped and the church goes through multiple tags of damage on him…until BG gets backdropped and Barry gets the tap. Top rope senton connects to Heru! BG intercepts, Heru almost wipes out his partner. 50 makes sure he does! Suplex from 50. Dan Barry hits a swanton from across the ring! Heru is done and Greatness can’t make the save. Truthfully, I’m sad this was a qualifier. I would have loved the Church to have the goof heel spot in the tourney.

Any other week, this would be hard to figure out who to cheer for…but Armani Kayos makes it easy for us to root for Mane Event. Jay Lyon flips wild in the early going, tag to Midas for the wheelbarrow hangman back splash. Gal escapes but Rivera is getting rolled too….until he rolls out of the corner with a X factor! Midas kicks off the apron and the Lyon is getting poached. Gal and Randy can’t quite align and Lyon somersaults off the corner. Tag to Midas and he comes in hot! Top hat distract right hand! Pop up Xfactor to Rivera and Hal can’t make the save.

It’s Stetson Ranch time. Who did his analytics team decide to make their partner this week? It’s Percy Ryan! He has a really good showing a couple weeks back and I was looking forward to seeing him again.

Match 7: The Stetson Ranch (Steven Stetson & Brett Ryan Gosling w/ his trusty steed Clip Clop) and Percy Ryan vs The Amazing Graysons (JP & Tommy Grayson) and Brian Burgundy

He finally gets the double team action going with Percy but Burgundy makes the tag and JP uses him as a weapon to senton Percy. Head scissor to Percy…BRG knees the back, Stetson tries to capitalize but BRG pulls the leg. Burgundy is getting branded by the ranch. Stetson drops his little buddy BRG onto Burgundy’s back for a ride. Gosling’s cowboy stomp is the best part of Stetson Ranch. JP tags in, huge dropkicks to Percy. BRG getting his face slapped off. Percy eats a suplex for two. Tommy in but Stetson lariats his head off. JP saves Tommy from a vertical suplex….Percy put up in a fireman’s carry…the Graysons drop him and Burgundy hits a great shooting start for the win!

Match 8: Big Bacon Brad Hollister vs “Iron” Rip Byson 

Hollister is fresh off his main event chokeout loss to Alec Price last week and the crowd is not letting him forget it. Bacon looks a mess but fires right up on attacking Byson, screaming “I didn’t quit!”. Byson isn’t getting completely squashed and fires back..but an enraged Hollister keeps landing hard. Rip with a head scissor out of the corner for two! The crowd wants Rip to choke him out but Bacon catches him in a powerbomb. They trade sleeper attempts! Bacon runs him to the buckles, big jackhammer slam out of the corner and Hollister puts Byson away. Good hoss work here but I REALLY liked Hollister’s emoting before the bell.

Vincita says Santell is like all the nerds he used to beat up in high school. Santell takes him RIGHT to the mat and shows this nerd can GO. Vincita tries to muscle him but Santell shove him right out of the corner and wrings the arm. Santell is all over him. Vincita with a hard buckle whip and he thinks that’s enough to get in Santell’s face. He tries to grind the Dream down but the crowd wills Thomas back to life. They have a collision of heads…double down…Santell firing up, throwing hands! Big back body drop! Vincita tries to hold the ropes for a pin but the ref catches that right off. Santell with a snap powerslam and Vincita is down for the three!
