Dirty Dango aka the artist formerly known as Fandango vs. Brian Myers

The crowd had fun serenading A-Ha's Take on Me for Fandango as Myers played Larry Zbyszko by stalling.  Lots of Myers trash talking early on.  Dirty Dango grabbed a side headlock but was sent into the ropes.  He nailed Myers with a dropkick.  Myers cut him off and choked Dango against the ropes.  Myers went for a sunset flip but Dango was able to save himself but was almost pulled down again before saving himself and drilling Myers with a right hand. 

Frustrated, Myers  charge and was tossed to the floor.  Myers was kicked into the rail and hit with a pescado.  Myers was run into the turnbuckles but dropped down and snapped Dango on the ropes.  Myers has become really damn good at doing lots of old school heel tactics and using them in a world where it's all big spots up and down the shows, making him much smarter than the average bear at getting reactions by doing less and heeling things up.  Back in the ring, Myers scored a two count with a suplex and locked on a tight chinlock.  The crowd clapped to rally Dango.

Dango fought to his feet but was tripped up by Myers, who locked in another rear chinlock.  Myers was jawing with the fans.  Dango made a comeback, nailing a back suplex.  The crowd was doing the Fandango song to rally him.    Myers missed the charge in the corner.  Dango was caught with a kick but came back with a clothesline and a big suplex for a two count.  Dango went to the top but Myers snapped the ropes, forcing him to crotch himself.  Myers attempted a superplex but Dango turned it into a sunset flip powerbomb for a two count.

Myers caught him with an enziguiri and a Flatliner for a close two count.  Myers was frustrated he didn't score the pinfall.  Myers went for a spear but was sent into the corner and hit with a DDT for a two count.  Myers used a spear and a clothesline for the pin.

Your winner, Brian Myers!

Good back and forth bout.

They aired a video package on Bear Country coming in on 11/27.

Matt Macintosh vs. Carlito

Macintosh is a regular here who plays a good heel.  Carlito did all the apple stuff early.  Macintosh disrespected him and looked good early, playing to the crowd and hitting a standing moonsault for a two count.  Carlito went to the floor and wandered around.  He returned and was far more prepared this time, working over Macintosh with chops and cinched in a rear chinlock.  Macintosh fought his way out but ate a dropkick to the mush for a two count.  

Carlito came back with a kneelift and a clothesline.   Carlito teased the old school babyface deal where you rip off your shirt for the pop but stopped and instead tucked it in....well, OK.  Carlito slammed Macintosh and went to the top.  He went, slowly, climbed back into the ring, where he missed an elbow.  Macintosh hit a sunset flip which Carlito tried and failed to avoid, being taken over.  Carlito escaped and drilled Macintosh.    Carlito sent him into the corner and finally took the t-shirt off. 

Carlito attempted the back cracker when Macintosh failed with a handspring elbow.  Carlito nailed a neckbreaker and grabbed the apple to spit it but Macintosh ducked and the referee got it instead, which was obviously not the intention.  Macintosh caught Carlito with a spinkick to the mid-section and a cutter for the pin.

Your winner, Matt Macintosh!

Obviously, a nice win for Macintosh.  This was more about Carlito character stuff and shenanigans than going back and forth but that's what the crowd expected and the win adds some credibility for Macintosh.  

The crowd gave Carlito a big ovation and chanted his name after.  Carlito bowed to different sides of the ring.
