Match 9: Ray Jaz vs Eel O’Neal

The crowd booes Ray Jaz, apparently this isn’t HIS PART of New Jersey. He says this place is basically Philly. The crowd is much more appreciative of Eel O’Neal! Jaz tries to muscle Eel down but can’t hold him in place. Eel has an answer for everything so far and Jaz has to take a little stroll to recuperate. Jaz dares Eel to go amateur with him and Eel is more than up to that task and takes him down. Eel repays the position in kind but Jaz gets controlled and slammed hard. He’s frustrated and demands they go again. That third time, he clubs Eel in the back of the head. Big suplex. Jaz dropping Eel on his back over and over. Eel tries a cross body…caught into a backbreaker owwww. Eel with a roll back and Jaz slams his head isn’t the mat. Eel with a pop up saito! Kick out! Eel goes for the superplex….Jaz rakes the eyes! Jaz to the apron, Eel comes in but Jaz hits him. Slingshot into the back slide and if you know his move set, you know this one is over. Good match, despite my abject hatred of one Rayyyyyyymond Jazbag.

Winner: Ray Jaz

It’s going bad for Bobby until he gets his hands on a pile of cookie sheets and cracks them all over Tremont’s head! Sick trick cutter for t—ONE! Bobby misses a trash can moonsault! Huge lariat from the bulldozer! Kick out! This sure looks like a bag of tacks…YEP IT SURE IS. Tremont tries a powerbomb but Bobby reverses and pedigrees him into the tacks!!!
