Dante and Tony Rich kick off with a standard elbow-and-collar tie up... easily won by Dante who has a significant weight advantage here. Dante continues with a heavy beat down on Tony Rich, before nailing a flurry of Snap Suplexes. Dante continues the assault after whipping Rich into the ropes, and catching him with a high rise Flapjack, causing a real stir from the crowd. After a couple of failed pin attempts, Tony Rich remains in this match but hasn’t seen much of any offense yet. The opportunity arises as Dante is too ‘comfortable�?when dragging Rich too his feet. A knee too the gut and a Side Russian Leg Sweep see’s Tony give himself an avenue back into the match. Rich stands back, waiting for Dante to get up on his own steam. When Dante does, an Enziguri attempt goes horribly wrong as Dante catches the first kick and then kicks Rich up in the back of the thigh. After landing on his back, Rich receives another stomp to the inside of his thigh. Dante follows up by bouncing off the ropes and nailing a Front Flip on Rich’s gut. Dante is well a truly in control, but even after a clean Spike DDT, Rich still manages to kick out of a pin and show his resilience. Dante tries to finish him off with a Shining Wizard, but is dodged, and gets caught up in the ropes... Rich drags Dante up too his feet, but can’t dominate, as they go back and forth with big right hands. Eventually this ‘boxing�?contest is won by Dante, who forces Rich too spin round... Dante grabs his neck from behind and locks in the "DOA" finisher for a submission victory. Bink: "Yourrrr winnnerrrrr!!... DANTEEEE!!!" |
