Style Battle Four Way Elimination Match: Josh Alexander vs. Biff Busick vs. Maxwell Chicago vs. Green Ant

Ant and Busick started out.  They had some nice early exchanges after a feeling out process.   Ant grapevined his legs and worked them over.   Busick grabbed the ropes.  Ant grabbed a leglock and he again grabbed the ropes.

Alexander tagged in and he and Busick went back and forth.  They had a good exchange and Maxwell began mimicking their moves and asking the crowd if they saw him keep up with him.  They were not enthused.  They went after him but he tagged himself out.

Green Ant and Busick were back at it again, slugging it out and exchanging chops.   Ant nailed an Olympic Slam,  Busick tagged in Chicago by slapping him across the face.   Ant began working him over in the corner with headbutts and chops.  The crowd was into that big time after Maxwell's comedy remarks and silliness.

Ant shoulderblocked him down and pulled him into a sunset flip.  Maxwell got out and nailed a neckbreaker, which popped the crowd since they were shocked he could do anything.    Ant came back with a springboard missile dropkick but Busick tagged in while he was hitting the move.  Busick locked in a Camel Clutch and Chicago screamed and quit.

Alexander hit the ring and stomped the hell out of Busick.  Ant hit the scene and cleaned house with some kicks and a dropkick on the apron.   Ant set up for a ove off the ropes to the outside but Busick cut him off.  He powerslammed Ant.

Ant made a comeback and locked both of his opponents in a one legged Boston Crab.    All three battled back and forth.  Ant was nailed with corkcrew tombstone and pinned.  The crowd did not like that one in the least.

Busick tossed Alexander with a Judo Throw.  They went nose to nose and began chopping each other.  Busick nailed a series of slaps and rebounded off the ropes.  Alexander cut him off and nailed a slingshot suplex.  Tully Blanchard is smiling.  They are doing some pretty stiff work.

The crowd chanted for Green Ant.   Busick went for a full nelson but he was shoved back into the buckles.   They went back and forth.  Alexander went for an armbar submission but Alexander slipped out and went for his tombstone.  Busick reversed it but Alexander broke free and kicked him hard, then hit a German suplex for a two count.

They battled back and forth with some awesome exchanges and chops.  Busick killed him with a running forearm that was just BRUTAL.  Alexander battled back but was taken down and covered for a two count.  Busick locked him in a sleeper choke and he submitted.

Your winner, Biff Busick!

Great stuff.  Lots of awesome work from Busick and Alexander.  Maxwell was fine as the comedic character he is meant to be and Green Ant was on fire.

So, tomorrow it will be Biff Busick vs. Drew Gulak, which based on their styles, should be AWESOME.  The other competitors will be in a Freestyle.

 

Rich Swann & Ricochet vs. DGUSA champ Johnny Gargano & Trent Baretta

Swann vs. Gargano is set for tomorrow in Brooklyn.  If Gargano's team  wins tonight, it's a Loser Leaves Town bout for Swann.  If Swann's team wins, it's a title defense for Gargano tomorrow.

Gargano says he's refusing to fight Swann because he loves him, so Baretta started the match.  The crowd started singing "Why can't we be friends?"

Baretta shoulderblocked Swann down hard.  Swann used some dazzling moves and superkicked him out of the ring,  Swann played to the crowd, allowing Gargano to then attack him from behind.   Baretta returned to the ring and drilled him.  Swann made a comeback.  He and Ricochet nailed some nice double team maneuvers.

Ricochet tied up Barettaand smashed his head into the buckles over and over.  He then tied him up in different holds, trying to force a submission.  Gargano hit the ring but ended up tied up on the mat, allowing Baretta to attack him. 

Gargano and Baretta double teamed Swann.  Gargano drilled him with an awesome dropkick to the back of the head.  You can see that Gargano is really growing as a worker in this role.  He reminds me a LOT of Chris Jericho.  Baretta started acting like he was going to do this insane move then just kicked Ricochet in the gut.

Baretta cinched in a front facelock.  Ricochet fought his way to his feet.  He went for a tag but Baretta cut him off and leveled him with a lariat.  Gargano held his legs out and Ricochet was drilled into his boots.  He tagged in and worked over Ricochet.

He beat down Ricochet in the corner but was shocked when Riocchet fired back.  They ended up both down.  Baretta tagged in and cut off Swann to prevent him from making the tag.  He then drilled Ricochet with a back suplex for a two count.

Gargano tagged back in but was cut off with an elbow as he charged.  Baretta hit the ring but was tossed out.  Swann was about to get tagged but was pulled off the apron by Baretta.  Thestorytelling in this is awesome.

Baretta and Gargano pulled him back to their corner and trashed Ricochet.  He finally laid them both out with a sequence that saw Baretta accidentally grab Gargano and then Ricochet nailed a neckbreaker that took them both out.

Swann tagged in FINALLY and hit a missile dropkick on both.  He wiped out Gargano with a great dive.  Ricochet and Baretta went back and forth.  Swann returned to the ring and they double teamed Baretta with an awesome flurry of offense for a two count.

Ricochet went for a 450 splash but Baretta rolled out of the way.  Ricochet landed on his feet but Gargano distracted him.  Baretta took him out.   They went into an awesome series of sequences, which the crowd was blown away by.

They began firing back and forth with forearms and chops.  Baretta nailed a reverse piledriver after Gargano superkicked Ricochet but Swann broke it up at the last second.

Gargano battered Swann and spit on him.  That woke up Swann who went face to face with his former partner and began beating the holy hell out of him.    Swann unloaded with some massive chops.  Gargano caught him and trapped him on his shoulders, allowing Baretta to nail a flying knee off the top into his face for a two count.  Gargano was shocked he kicked up.

Gargano said, "I'm sorry Rich, I love you." and set him up to be decimated but Ricochet returned and drilled him with a big dropkick to te face.  Ricochet hit a 720 on Gargano.  Swann hit his standing 450 splash and scored the pin.

Your winners, Ricochet & Rich Swann!

Just an awesome tag match that was so ridiculously good, it was criminal there were only 100 or so fans here.

Swann will have a DGUSA Open the Freedom Gate title shot tomorrow.

Swann took the mic and asked everyone what they thought of the match. He said that now he's kicked his ass, he gets to name the stipulation. He said he knows the belt means the world to Gargano, so he doesn't need to add any stipulations. He said that he knows he can beat him and tomorrow he will. Great promo. Swann's charisma is better every time I see him.
