Fun match.
The Hooligans were interviewed after the bout. Charles said he brought in GKM because of family ties. They showed Queens Get the Money what family really is. They declared they were here to "learn ya" and they are going to beat up everyone in their path.
They aired a promo for the 8/9 Red Carpet Rumble.
Backstage, D-Man Dan Parker and Wrecking Ball Legursky got into an argument. Parker said he would be happy to embarass Legursky on 4th of July weekend since it was just a few days removed from Canada Day.
Leo Sparrow came out to cut a promo. He said everyone here will witness the first-ever Skyscraper match. The winner who hits the buzzer at the top gets $50,000 and a "favor" from Commissioner Guido. He said he didn't qualify for the match but after learning there was $50,000, he said he felt like being friendly with everyone so perhaps they'd share some money with him. He brought out the Skyscraper match competitors.
Max Caster, Drew Gulak, Ray Jaz and Jake Redondo came out. Sparrow said he wanted to have a Vegas 4th of July BBQ and demanded the food come out. Nothing came out. He announced there is no Vegas food. He said it's really about the friendships you make. He said he and Redondo were in the first ever Gotham match, then said he beat Redondo and it was sad he brought his father here to watch him lose the match. He told Ray Jaz that being a Jersey legend wasn't really impressive and if he was so close with Guido, why does he need to win a match to get a favor. He said Max Caster looked like he was afraid of heights. He said Caster looked like he shouldn't be within 50 feet of a school. He said Gulak looks like he sits in the basement playing video games. He wished everyone a good win and suggested they share the winnings with him.
All of the competitors started arguing and shoving each other. They all realized Sparrow was behind the anger and all faced him. They grabbed Sparrow and worked him over, stomping him. Sparrow was tossed over the top and as he went over, his shoe flew into the crowd. That was funny.
Flag Match: D-Man Dan Parker vs. Wrecking Ball Legursky.
To win the match, you must retrieve the flag and wave it. D-Man Dan Parker is representing Canada. Wrecking Ball is repping the U.S. of A.
Parker tried to stall early. Legursky kept wiping him out and hit a splash in the corner. He drilled Parker with a hard chop to the chest. Legursky missed a charge in the corner and crashed to the floor. Parker nailed him with a chair several times. He slapped Legursky as a show of disrespect. Parker grabbed a chair but when he went to swing it, Legursky drilled it into his face with his fist, then splashed Parker. Lesgursky went for the U.S. flag but BRG interfered. That allowed Parker to nail Lesgursky from behind GUNK came out to help and chase off BRG. Legursky hit a back splash in the corner, grabbed the flag and waved it.
