(Again, sorry for the recap, but we gotta get moving.) According to a coin flip held backstage by official Patrick Young, a member of Simply Stunning was scheduled to start out against a member of the Aho/Southern tandem. Simon Wilcox and Shane Southern start the match against each other, with Southern taking the wide tag teamer down early with a Russian leg sweep, and keeping him grounded with a quick spinebuster. Wilcox responded with a quick small package for one, followed by a body slam/elbow combination. He quickly tagged in Hardy, who dropped a fist from the top rope and went for the early pinfall, only getting a one-count on the New Orleans native. Southern quickly fought back with a tilt-a-whirl slam out of nowhere. Hardy bounced up off the mat quickly, but ended up in The Professionals corner, where Craig Miles tagged himself in with a fist to Hardy's jaw. Southern jumped on Hardy with a hard right hand but got turned around into the corner, resulting in a doubleteam by The Pros, as Mayfield held Southern in the corner, allowing Miles to get his shots in. Miles pulled Southern out of the corner with a whip that sent him into the opposite corner, then followed in with an elbow. Another whip into the corner by Miles set Southern up, but a dodge by Southern allowed him to get the tag, bringing Aho in. Aho nailed Miles with an elbow, spinning him around into a german suplex. Miles tried to roll away, but Miles quickly stopped him with a snap suplex, keeping him away from his corner. A few more minutes in, Simply Stunning began to break up pin attempts, leading to a three-on-one against Aho that broke into a six man brawl. Once Young finally restored order, Wilcox was able to tag himself on, using the back of Miles' head. Wilcox and Hardy used quick tags and speed to work over Aho, causing a couple of close pinfalls that Aho broke out of. Southern reached for the tag several times during Aho's trouble, but the World Champion seemed almost too focused to see him. Aho stayed out of his corner completely, taking Simply Stunning on two-on-one when necessary. Wilcox slipped up slightly, getting too close to the Pros corner, allowing Eddie Mayfield to get a tag in. Mayfield quickly tosses Wilcox out of the ring to the floor below, and then took control on a beleaguered Evan Aho. Mayfield worked over the right leg of Aho for several minutes, while Aho continued to ignore Southern's outstretched hand. Aho broke up several pin attempts by himself, but it seemed inevitable that Mayfield would win the titles for his team. Mayfield played a consummate game, making sure to keep away from the Simply Stunning corner, and realizing that Aho had no intention of tagging out. Mayfield clobbered Aho with a huge facebuster,
but had the apparent winning pin broken up when Simply Stunning broke it
up. Mayfield knocked Hardy around the ring and finally to the outside, but
in the meantime, Aho stumbled into the ropes, and into arm's reach of
Wilcox. Wilcox tagged himself in and set up on the top as Mayfield sent
Hardy outside, and Miles made sure he stayed down. Wilcox came off the top
with a missile dropkick, knocking Mayfield down for the three-count, and
stealing a huge win for Mayfield and Miles. |
