Match 1
Submission-Only Match
Seifer vs James McKnight
For the opening match, this was one of the heaviest and hard hitting. Both men were trying to work the back and, at one point James McKnight tried a Hat Trick of vertical suplexes; on the third though Seifer reversed and regained some control of the match. Another cool spot was after a hiptoss and arm drag scenario, James was sitting, trying to recoup when Seifer grabs him in a modified sleeper, cranking on the neck, and James, being pulled up, counters into a jaw breaker.
Ultimately, near the mid-match point, James takes a huge bump, being back bodied and over the corner and into the ring post. As he falls out to the apron and onto the floor, Seifer whisks out and, continues the onslaught. Afterwards, the slams he takes are infliciting mass damage and, even as McKnight tries to put on the "Fading Glory", he's unable to keep Seifer from escaping. Ultimately, Seifer gets the "Immortal Deathlock", and as James reaches the ropes, within inches, Seifer pulls him back into the cneter of the ring and, applying more pressure he has no choice but to tap. Seifer wins via submission, although James stepped up to the challenge, not allowing help during his exit. Plus he flips off the crowd.
Match 2
Tables
Rain Storms vs Kryptt
Rain spent the first half minute gazing at how tall Kryptt is; then spent the next ten seconds flying through the air and the next milisecond crashing through a table to the outside after a double handed chokeslam. The bell signalling the end of the match came almost after the opening, and Kryptt advances to Round 2.
Match 3
First-Blood
Summer Stratus vs Terri Lamin Dangerously
Terri Lamin, in her first match back, was a step behind Summer who's been on a roll as of late. Summer wasn't going to let the former six-time championess through her without a fight, and a fight she gave. avoiding the "Terri-fied", the match spills to the outside. They clang around, sword fighting with chairs, until both their hands vibrate with pain, and Terri kicks Summer's chair up, then reems her with the edge and nails a hurricanrana, then even tries headbutting Summer to bust open her nose. The match is continuing, until Terri gets a "Crash and Burn" through the spanish announce table, and, with a small gash on her forehead, the bell sounds and Summer advances to Round 2.
Match 4
Wave the Flag
Christian Michaels vs Con Escobar
Amber and Palsied are holding the flags, as this match starts. CM looks a bit worried, hoping that Amber's wanting of seeing his ass kicked outwieghs her wanting of screwing him over an dmaking him lose. But, true to a little sister, the sadistic streak comes out and she kinda laughs when Cm gets blasted with the "OWNED", and when he gets up next he finds his boot on the other side of the ring. Con tries choking CM in front of Amber, with the top and middle ropes, but to no avail as Con tries to replan his strategy. As the match picks back up and CM dodges a second "OWNED", sending his shoulder to the ringpost, he comes back out and gets nailed with the 'YOU JUST GOT WHAPPED', CM applies a half-crab, but Palsied's showing no signs of waving the flag, either. Trying to wrench it, Con keeps yelling to Palised he's okay- even as he winces, and kicks his free leg around... Con is able to roll his body and escape, kicking CM in the ass with his free leg and charing him forward, and Palsied claps for his charge- the flag waving as he gives props to Con, and the ref calls for the bell as Con is PISSED OFF. Christian Michaels advances to Round 2.
Match 5
Ladder Match
Drew Stevenson vs Nicky Dreamboat
INTENSE. As the first hour main event, they help build onto the crowd what Seifer and McKnight did earler in the night, as they even do a hot-potato spot with the ladder, until Dreamy gets sick of it and drop kicks it in Drew's face. Tons of suplexes by Drew, into the ladders, and a nice one where Drew was standing as the ladder was leaning against the corner, and Dreamy runs up it to the corner than jumps like a catapult onto the part hanging off, crashing to the floor as it whips into Drew's face.
In the end, they;re both using all they have left to head up either side, and, trading blows at the top, raking the eyes, they both fall off, only Drew lands with the Ticket to Round 2 in his hands. Drew Stevenson advances to Round 2.
Match 6
Casket
Haywire vs Palsied
Against all odds, Haywire's pep talk must have struck a cord in Palsied, as it goes from a wrestling match to a brawl in a hurry. Palised goes for a springboard, and Haywire catches him, tossing him over the topes and into the casket, but as he leans to close the door and Palised kicks the lip up into his face before it shuts, regaining control. Fighting on the apron later in the match, Palised hits a hurricanrana to Haywire, and they both tumble into the casket and the lid shuts on them, as Haywire goes for the exit, but Palised grabs his leg, yanking him back in and, climbing over him and kicks him in the face. As Haywire fights back and goes to stand, Palised shuts the lid on his head, Haywire falters and falls in as Palsied gets the casket shut. Palised advances to Round 2.
Main Event
Fall from Grace
Ryan Cain vs Sean Hunter
ANother heated battle, as this one didn't take place in the ring, but a suspended cage set up just off the entrance, with a sea of tables. Seeing two skinny wite guys play SUMO was weird, but quickly, they abandon trying to shove each other off in favor of bashing each other into the caging. Had this been a first blood match it would have been a draw, as, midway through both were faltering in their steps in the suspended cage. Many times, one would fall at the edge, just for the other to fail and fall, too. Regaining strength, Sean Hunter stands up, teetering on the edge as Ryan Cain goes for the Zero kick, Sean side steps it and out of instinct, Ryan puts on the brakes and holds off agains falling, now almost in a Wile E Coyote position on the edge, his arms flailing to keep himself up, and turns around, with a foot of platform behind him- but Sean, goes for the "HOMO-cide", Ryan pushes him away- Sean stops on a dime and goes for the "Crash and Burn" Zero kick play- but Ryan catches it, sweeping Sean's other leg out from under him and goes for a catapult slingshot, and Sean slips away using his legs the blast Ryan backwards and over the edge into the tables below! The crowd goes nuts with boos; as Sean Hunter advances to Round 2 in a split second counter!
