Match 5: Steven Stetson vs Junior Benito
We really hate Stetson and hope Benito kills him. Junior is impressing with his quickness and hard hits but Stetson getting his big moves in. He is VERY distracted by the crowd, and Benito uses that to advantage. He tries a frog splash but Stetson catches it. Backdrop. Northern Lariat. Ack. F***you Steve.
Winner: Steven Stetson

I hope these words conveyed my excitement for this week. It was a truly fantastic episode. EVERYTHING delivered tonight. So many debuts, so many naturally occurring “Please Come Back”’s, a rare time limit draw…and a lot of matches that pushed that line. A hot Worcester crowd kept the energy high. Super enjoyable episode that absolutely flew by. Watch it on IWTV!
