HOG Crown Jewel Champion Ken Broadway vs. Rude Boy Riley.
Riley ducked Broadway and nailed some chops. They had a pretty physical back and forth early. Riley caught him in the ropes with a pair of nice looking knees. He nailed a dive to the outside and then one to one of Broadway's entourage. Broadway cut him off and stomped away at him in the corner. They exchanged strikes and punches in the center. Riley was worked over and tried to kick Broadway off but failed. Broadway grabbed him by the legs and pulled him out of the corner, slamming him down. From a pure wrestling standpoint, this is the best thing thus far on the show.
Broadway focused his attack on Riley's legs and then distracted the referee, allowing his entourage to attack Riley. Broadway used a stepover toe hold to wear Riley down. Riley caught him with a surprise rollup for a two count and nailed an awesome neckbreaker variation for a two count. They battled back and forth with chops and punches.
Riley nailed a nice spinning backhand and hit a tope suicida, sending Broadway into the first row. They battled on the floor. Riley hit a running big boot on the floor.

Broadway smashed his lower back and used a sideslam off the ropes for a two count. They started whipping out all sort of big move for near two falls. Really good stuff. Riley finally nailed a running knee and had the pinfall but one of Broadway's seconds attacked and they called for the DQ.
Your winner by DQ, Rude Boy Riley!
Another second, Leroy nailed the second. The story is that Leroy has been abused by Broadway and his minion. Think Ted DiBiase and Virgil.
Riley clotheslines Broadway over the top to the floor. He offered Leroy his hand but Leroy wouldn't take it and was going to leave with Broadway. Riley cut a pretty damn good promo on the mic, pushing Leroy to strike out on his own because the fans want him to do that He then turned to Broadway and said Riley was now in HOG so his life was about to be a lot more rude.
Riley has a charisma to him like an old school wrestler and carries himself like one. There's something really special about him and I expect a lot more promoters will start booking him soon. Broadway had a fun entrance and worked super hard here.
Matthew Ryan Shapirocalled out Brian XL. He wa carried out unconscious by Ryan's team the Trust. Ryan demanded Brian make a decision. He said No. They began beating him. Some of the babyfaces came out to clear the ring.
Teddy Long came out and announced there was going to be a tag team match, Playa!
Unfortunately for me, they didn't announce the names of the competitors so I have no idea how to do a PBP on this one, so I can't and won't!
Zack Sabre Jr. vs Marq Queen
There was a dance party early and everyone was putting on ZSJ's jacket but when the referee put it on, that was too much for Zack. Zack wanted a fight not a party. Everyone wanted a party. He was dropkicked off the apron into the arm of everyone who came to party with Queens. The music played and they danced carrying him to the back. Queen demanded he be counted out. Sabre fought them off and got back out to the ringside area and into the ring by the count of eight.
Sabre was sent to the floor and hit with a big flip dive to the floor. Back in the ring, he began unloading with forearms and uppercuts. He began working over Queen's arm.

Queen began working over Sabre Jr. on the mat. Lots of near falls. Sabre nailed a Dragon suplex with a double arm hook, bridging over for a two count.

Sabre grabbed a front choke, drilled him hard across the back and slapped Queen down. Queen regained control and went to the top.

Your winner, Zack Sabre Jr.!
Very good, physical match where the idea was showing Queen could survive and even thrive against the well skilled European star.
HOG Heavyweight Championship Anthony Gangone vs. Ricochet.
A bit of a feeling out process early. Ricochet began gaining control so Gangone began trying to stall. He was able to catch Ricochet unaware and used a headlock. Ricochet broke free and whipped out a ton of cool offense. He went for a dive but Gangone's second grabbed his leg. Gangone jumped Ricochet and beat him down.

Ricochet drilled Gangone's second with a kick and hit a dive on him. The referee checked on him, allowing Gangone to loose one of the corner ropes. The referee yelled at him and tried to fix is, mising Ricochet nailing a package driver and having the pin. The second ate a knee to the face and was kicked out of the ring. Gangone nailed Ricochet with the HOG title belt and when Ricochet kicked up, the place went INSANE. Gangone cheated to win and the place was totally bummed out.
Your winner and still HOG champion, Anthony Gangone!
Good match.
Ricochet took the mic after the bout. He gave a speech about being the first HOG champion and defended the belt against AJ Styles, Low Ki and others and promised he would return here soon and when he did, he was coming for the belt.
Ricochet's lip was busted open during the match and he's probably going to need stitches.
That's it from HOG!
They return to Jamaica, NY on 12/17 with The Dudley Boyz, The Hardys and more. For details, visit www.HouseofGloryWrestling.net.
