Decent match. Bradley really worked well as a heel and had some good spots. Facade had a good series of highspots. I was surprised by the finish as Bradley had a lot of the offense for a good portion of the bout.

Your winner, Papadon!
Really good back and forth match with some nice exchanges and back and forth wrestling. I really enjoyed the matwork here. Papadon is one of my favorite guys to work right now, as he's sort of a throwback to the type of workers you'd see in Jim Crockett Promotions who get better as the match goes on. Guido still works as well as he did 15 years ago.
