Round One:
They locked up and Cabana was muscled to the ropes. They had a clean break. Finlay grabbed a side headlock and muscled him back into the corner. Finlay grabbed a leg but Cabana used the ropes to force a break. Finlay worked him to the mat and drilled him with an elbow to the nose. Finlay tied him up on the mat then covered him for a one count before Cabana got his shoulder up.
They locked up and Finlay controlled the early going until Cabana was able to back him into the corner. The referee called for a clean break and Cabana finally let him free. They began working over each other's arms with different variations of wristlocks and armbars. They ended up in the corner and when the referee instructed Finlay to back up, he slapped Cabana.
They locked up again and Cabana used a side headlock takeover. Cabana worked him over with the side headlock as the round ended.
Cabana continued holding the headlock after the round ended, which pissed off Finlay. Cabana did some silliness in between the rounds. It was great.
Round Two:
Finlay came out strong with several forearms and whipped Cabana hard into the buckles. He drilled Cabana with an elbow for a two count and stomped Cabana's hands and face. Finlay threw Cabana through the ropes to the floor. Cabana did some silliness where he had his cornerman slap him to psych him up. Cabana tried to grab Finlay's legs and pull him out but Finlay stepped back. Cabana kept reaching more but Finlay kept stepping back.
Finlay went to the floor. Cabana instructed his cornerman to slap Finlay. He smartly didn't want to do it. Back in the ring, Cabana grabbed a side headlock and drilled Finlay with several shots. He began working over Finlay's arm but Finlay nailed him so hard Cabana went to the floor. Finlay followed and worked him over there. Back in the ring, Finlay locked on a crossface varation. He maneuvered Cabana into position where he could apply additional torque to the arm, then cinched in a hammerlock while Cabana was pulled into Finlay's body. The bell rang.
Finlay refused to release the hold after the bell rang.
As Cabana drank water in the corner, Finlay charged and attacked him.
Round Three:
Finlay worked him over the mat. Finlay began beating him down, targeting Cabana's shoulder for damage. Finlay tied his arm in the rope and worked it over. Cabana tried to fight back but was cut off and whipped hard into the corner. Finlay tied him up and worked over Cabana's wrist and arm. He drilled Cabana with a short arm clothesline but was shocked with a sunset flip for a two count. Cabana came to life with a series of rights, the flying a**hole in the corner and a big elbow.
Finlay rebounded off the ropes but was nailed with the Butt Butt. Finlay sent him into the ringpost shoulder first twice, then nailed his finisher, scoring the pin.
Your winner, Dave Finlay!
A really good wrestling match with equal parts matwork and Cabana silliness until it began getting more serious as they went on. Truly entertaining from start to finish.
