Thom talks to EC3 before they lock up and EC3 attacks Thom and drives him to the corner with shoulder thrusts. Thom is able to fight his way free and pummels EC3 to the mat, and then picks him up and starts slamming him into the top turnbuckles around the ring.

EC3 tries for an Irish whip, but Thom reverses it, tossing EC3 to the corner, where ECe3 gets the elbow up when Thom charges. Thom grabs an arm bar and tries to force EC3 to the mat, EC3 reverses it and takes down Thom with a Thesz Press and then starts to ground and pound. He grabs at Thom’s eyes and the ref counts five, but EC3 won’t break, so the ref calls for a DQ.

Thom is disqualified with a level 2 disqualification, so EC3’s team gains 3 point.
I have no idea what a level 1 DQ and a level 2 DQ is. And the match having to go ten minutes despite the DQ came out of nowhere.

We are halfway through the episode and we have been flashed the teams on the screen so fast we don’t have a good idea who is on what team or what the team’s names are. There aren’t any fans, just the wrestlers in the studio, and they don’t show score cards. Then we get this match that lasts about three minutes and has weird rules. I am utterly confused by this series, especially the part where the winning teams all get title shots at whatever title they want.
May Valentine is with The Fixers and she says there are eight captains for the teams. Jay Bradley talks about how his team is the best team in the series, and he keeps telling Wrecking Ball Legursky to wait until he is done to yell Fixers Rule. They both have Nerf Machine Guns for some reason.

In the back, May Valentine is with Cyon, who is happy at how well his team is doing. He says his team has the best wrestlers in the NWA. He is asked where Austin Idol is, and Cyon says it’s none of our business.
May is next with Kamille, who is not happy with EC3’s actions. She doesn’t like that he doesn’t think the rules apply to him and he speaks in riddles. She is sick of EC3 going after Thom, and Team Tyrus is just cheating all the time, and she will do it the right way.
