The Young Bucks vs. Kevin Knight and Speedball Mike Bailey
Switching to blog mode. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?! You’ve got 2 hot young AEW prospects in Knight and Bailey. They’re already lost.TWICE each. This match’ll get the sickos excited. Even if the upstarts win, it’ll be like 6 years ago when Private PArty beat the Bucks, it’ll mean nothing. Knight and Bailey deserve their own showcase. End of day, I fear they’ll be used as a Scorpio Sky (remember him?), just there to get the ALREADY ESTABLISHED STARS over.
We go to commercial.
We’re back and Knight and Bailey are in control. Hey! The Bucks are making Knight look good. Knight and Bailey eat a Northern Lights by Matt Jackson. Bucks mock their opponents. So, even if Knight and Bailey win, they got treated like lucky jobbers. Superkick party. All 4 men are down. WE have a chicken fight. Total Elimination by Knight and Bailey. Knight with a splash for 2. Babyfaces look good, as expected. Bucks with a Doomsday Device and a TK Driver on the floor. Knight fights them off.
