ring. The Prelim Patrol came out to break up the fray, but couldn't keep them
apart. Finally, Hero broke away and headed for the back. Kingston took out his
frustrations by knocking out Sal Rinauro.
-Tyler Black defeated Bryan Danielson
Crowd is very solidly behind Danielson to start. Danielson outwrestles Tyler
and smacks him in the face to start. Greco Roman knuckle lock and they go to
the corner where Danielson ducks a wild swing and slaps him again. Danielson
takes him down with a single leg and cranks on the ankle, then converts to a
side headlock. Black backs him to the corner and blocks another slap attempt
and takes Danielson down with an armdrag into an armbar. Danielson reverses
into a wristlock and bends Tyler's arm in a very unnatural position, but Black
makes the ropes. Tyler reverses a whip and gets a dropkick for 2, then takes
Danielson to the corner and kicks away. Danielson escapes that and gets a
couple chops, but Black takes him down with a double leg and danielson reverses
that to a Crippler Crossface. Danielson is such a master. Black makes the
ropes and Danielson backs off and pops the crowd with his "Best In The World"
catchphrase. Another tieup and Danielson goes to a hammerlock, Black reverses,
and takes Danielson down with another armdrag into the armbar. Black with a
snapmare and goes for a slap, but Danielson catches the arm and gets a cross
armbreaker, but Black chickens out and goes for the ropes again. Danielson puts
the badmouth on him as the crowd again pops bigtime for Dragon. They exchange
shoves, and then Danielson gets a forearm, but gets caught in a slam coming off
the ropes and Black with the quebrada for 2. Black kicks away in the corner but
Danielson turns it around, slaps him some more, throws some stiff kicks, and
lays Black out with a European Uppercut. Danielson cranks away on the head with
a three quarter nelson and drops Black with a headbutt. Danielson kicks away
but this only fires up Black, who gets to his feet and starts pounding away, but
Danielson catches him in a sleeper, then converts that into a neck vice.
Danielson into the Stretch Plum as the crowd chants for Tyler to tap. No doubt
who the fans are behind here. Black makes the ropes, but Danielson drops a
series of knees to the head for 2. Black fights his way out, but Danielson
reverses a vertical suplex into another sleeper, and Black reverses that to a
sleeper of his own to some big boos from the crowd. Danielson reverses that to
another sleeper, Black tries to suplex his way out of it, but Danielson holds
onto the head. Black with a jawbreaker, but Danielson goes right back to the
sleeper yet again. Randy Orton ought to watch the tape of this and see how to
make a resthold not look like a resthold. Black picks Danielson up and dumps
him over the top, but eats a forearm when he goes for the dive. Danielson comes
off the top but runs right into a dropkick from Tyler, who follows up with a
series of clotheslines. Danielson eats boot on a charge and Black with a flying
clothesline to send Danielson to the corner. Black with an enziguiri and a
springboard clothesline for 2. Black pounds away in the corner and gets a cross
corner whip, then follows that up with a running forearm and an F5. Black goes
for the superkick, but Danielson catches the leg and grabs an ankle lock. Black
rolls out of it and sends Danielson to the floor, where Black is finally able to
hit the dive. Back in the ring, Black goes for another springboard clothesline,
but Danielson reverses that to a German Suplex into a sunset flip for a VERY
close 2. The crowd didn't like that one. Danielson puts Tyler up top for the
top rope belly to back suplex, but Black knocks him off. Danielson with a
running knee and a top rope Frankensteiner, Black rolls through into a sunset
flip, but Danielson rolls that through into a triangle choke. Amazing. Black
picks him up and gets the corner powerbomb and superkick, but is too tired to
follow up. Finally he drags Danielson into the middle of the ring, but
Danielson has had time to recover and Black only gets 2. Black goes up top for
the Phoenix Splash, but Danielson shoves him into the crowd right on top of some
poor fan, then follows that up with a dive himself. The fan seems okay, if
anyone cares. Danielson gets in first and then Black just beats the count.
Danielson starts kicking away but Black comes to his feet and gets the schoolboy
rollup into the kick, but Danielson catches him with another sleeper out of
nowhere and rolls Black through that into a Crippler Crossface, but Black makes
the ropes AGAIN. Danielson's done screwing around and starts pounding away with
the elbows, but Black escapes and gets another enziguiri, but Danielson with the
running knee. They exchange waistlocks, Black gets the German Suplex, Danielson
no sells and runs into a pair of superkicks, and then Black gets the God's Last
Gift to FINALLY beat Danielson in a singles match. There's some fans chanting
Match Of The Year, but I think they have some DVDs they need to watch before
making that assessment. Still, awesome awesome awesome match. Danielson
extended his hand after the match and the two shook hands.
