Your winner, Jerry Lynn!

Good solid match that told a nice story in the ring.  The crowd was really into Lynn's farewell.

The fans chanted "Thank you Jerry." Someone yelled for one more year and Lynn joked, "Do you want me to die?" He said mentally he could do it but physically, he couldn't. He joked "One more beer?" The crowd chanted, "You still got it." He bowed to all four sides. He said that physically after 24 years, he's tired but thankful because without the fans, he wouldn't have had a job he's loved for 24 years.

Ring announcer Stephen DeAngelis took the mic on behalf of the company and said that the fans have the ability to see him perform in the ring but everyone in the locker room has the chance to see him in the back. He praised him for being a gentleman and for being selfless in selfish times. He praised his work and his history in Philly. Homicide recovered and told DeAngelis to leave the ring, then shook Lynn's hand and raised his arm. He led the crowd in a "Please don't go" chant.

Best of Three Falls: El Hijo del Rey Misterio vs. Bestia 666

This is Hijo's Philadelphia debut.  There are a lot of families with kids wearing Lucha masks, so it appears the local promotion may have led to people thinking it was the WWE Rey Mysterio.

FALL ONE

They shook hands at the bell.  They battled back and forth, exchanging holds. They did some nice back and forth Lucha reversals and pinfall attempts early, then faced off. 

They exchanged chops.  Bestia went for a move off the shoulders but Rey spun around and hit an awesome head scissors, sending him to the floor.  Rey then hit a dive over the top to the floor.

Rey came off the top but Bestia caught him with a dropkick and scored a two count.  Rey missed a charge in the corner and was placed on the top.  He nailed a muscle buster and scored the pin.

Your winner of the first Fall, Bestia 666!

FALL TWO

As they started up, Bestia placed Rey on the top and ripped at his mask.   He snapped him down and covered him for a two count   Rey went up and over after being sent into the corner and drilled him with a clothesline.  

They went back and forth until Rey nailed a twisting Lucha spot into a DDT for a three count.

Your winner of the second Fall, El Hijo del Rey Misterio!

FALL THREE

They battled back and forth.  Bestia dropkicked Rey off the apron to the floor.  Bestia hit an awesome twisting dive to the floor. It looked like Bestia drilled Rey in the head.

Bestia grabbed a chair but didn't use it.  Misterio sent him to the floor with a great twisting move.  He went for a dive but Bestia threw a chair in his face. Bestia went for a dive but Rey drilled him HARD in the face with the chair.  That woke the crowd up and they chanted "ECW."

Your winner, El Hijo del Rey Misterio!

Solid Lucha bout.  I wouldn't say it was a classic but for a debut, Rey looked really strong and Bestia worked hard too.  The crowd got really into the chair spots and there were some nice dives.  Fun stuff.
