Tommy Dreamer vs. Chris Payne

Big reaction for Dreamer.

Payne worked over Dreamer's arm early but Dreamer reversed it and sent him down in the corner. Payne went to the floor.  Dreamer took the mic and said that he's known Payne a long time but this is Wrestlemania weekend and there are fans from all over the world here who are spending their money for a big trip.  He said that this is where people go to be seen.  He said that he and Little Guido were the only wrestlers who were at the first Wrestlemania who wrestled at Wrestlemania.  He then told everyone to follow Guido on Twitter, because he's always drunk and insane.  Dreamer admitted he's getting older, has a bald spot and is chubby but no one pays him to wrestle, they pay him to fight.  He said he's going to take it old school and extreme.  He challenged Payne to make it a Falls Count Anywhere match.

They brawled to the floor, where Dreamer hit Payne with a water.  They brawled into the crowd and up to the top of the bleachers.  The place chanted ECW.  Dreamer tossed Payne back over the barricade to the ringside area, Dreamer placed the ring bell on Payne's nether-regions and nailed him with a hammer.  They returned to the ring, Payne took control and worked over Dreamer.  He nailed a running step up enziguiri for a two count. 

Dreamer made a comeback and they went back and forth,  Dreamer nailed an Ace Crusher for a two count.  Dreamer set up a chair but Payne reversed an Irish whip and nailed with a drop toehold to the chair.  Payne wedged a chair in the corner and whipped Dreamer towards it.  Dreamer reversed it but Payne stopped himself.  Dreamer kicked him in the goin and scored a two count.

Dreamer went to hit the Spicoli Driver onto a chair but Payne slipped out and lowblowed Dreamer, then rolled him up and scored the pin.

Your winner, Chris Payne!

The crowd really had a lot of fun with this one, until Dreamer was pinned.  You felt the energy leave the room.  I don't think anyone saw Dreamer, losing.

Dreamer got a nice round of applause as he left the ring.

Nikos vs. CPA vs. Delroy vs. Beefcake Charlie vs. ? vs. ?

There were two other competitors that names I couldm't hear.  I'll add them when I confirm.  Lots of big spots.  Beefcake was dressed like Eric Cartman as Beefcake.  I love it.   They all built to a big suplex spot.  In the end, my boy Beefcake hit a moonsault off the ropes for the pin.

Your winner, Beefcake!

Colt Cabana vs. Ryback

Cabana tried to shake Ryback's hand.  He refused.  Cabana took the mic and asked, "Are we good?"  He asked if they could let the past be the past and said they could do a little podcast.  The fans chanted "CM Punk."  Ryback took the mic and said, "Are we good?  Are you going to go on your podcast next week and bitch I took 20 years off your career after I kick your ass tonight?  Find out."

Cabana tried to do his wrestling but was shoved down.  Cabana got in Ryback's face and slapped him.    They went back and forth until Ryback hit a high cross bodyblock.    Ryback missed a clothesline and was nailed with a head scissor takedown, being sent to the floor.  Cabana went for a pescado but was caught.  Ryback slammed him. 

Back in the ring, Ryback nailed a long vertical suplex but Cabana was able to reverse before Ryback finally reversed and nailed for a two count.  Ryback worked over Cabana in the corner.   Ryback nailed a series of chops and whipped Cabana hard into the opposite corner.  Ryback kept working over Cabana.  Ryback continued to work him over, hitting a cannonball in the corner.  They battled on the top until Cabana nailed a superplex.

Cabana was cut off and drilled with a charge.   Cabana slipped out of a waistlock and nailed a back suplex.   Cabana was sent to the floor.  Ryback dove to the floor.  He brought Cabana back in and went for the Shellshock but Cabana slipped out and locked on the Billy Goat's Curse.  Ryback nailed a Sidewalk slam, then hit the Meathook and went for Shellshock.  Colt slipped out and hit a sunset flip for a two count.  Colt went for the Flying A**hole but was caught and nailed with Shellshock for the pin.

Your winner, Ryback!

Far more entertaining match than you'd predict.  Ryback really upped his game and worked hard, pulling it out lots that he would never be seen doing in WWE.  They used the CM Punk podcast to set up the issue between the two and then had a damn good match.

Ryback called Cabana back into the ring.  He said that a few years ago, Cabana gave CM Punk a platform and let him say a lot of things.  He said that that negativity effected him and he said that tonight felt good and now they are good.  He said that he didn't appreciate what Cabana did but he's a hell of a fighter and he respects him.  Cabana raised his hand.
