1. Non-title: Dalton Castle & the Boys vs. Flip Gordon & Coast to Coast.
Dalton and the Boys upset Bully Ray & the Briscoes at Best in the World to claim the 6-man titles, but now they've got the targets on their backs. Anyway, considering the competition, you know the result, since Coast to Coast almost never wins, and, sure enough, Leon St. Giovanni, known simply as LSG for whatever reason, ends up the designated jobber, as he runs right into Bang-a-Rang.
Winners: Dalton Castle & the Boys.
Footage of Jay Lethal being laid out by Silas Young and Beer City Bruiser after Lethal beat Young at Best in the World. Next, we see Young outside the Lowell hospital, cutting a promo on Lethal.
2. Matt Taven (w/The Kingdom) vs. Ultimo Guerrero.
Rematch from a recent show in Mexico. You knew TK O'Ryan & Vinny Marseglia would get involved, but not all that much. Very even match, though not quite the best on the show. Taven needs a low blow to set up Guerrero for the Climax. It's one thing to get the win in front of the homies (Taven is from Massachusetts), unlike WWE, but this won't raise Taven's stock.
Winner: Matt Taven.
More from Young, who borrows an old Terry Funk entrance line from WCW in the late 80's-early 90's, and does a promo mocking those safety ads. Yep, still ragging on Lethal.
3. War Machine vs. the Motor City Machine Guns.
Since this was taped, War Machine won the IWGP tag titles from the Guerrillas of Destiny in Japan. If only that could've been brought up, but it wasn't. Best match on the show for sheer drama. Hanson's the other local guy on the card, but can't complete the sweep for Team Bay State. Fallout attempted and blocked. The Guns eliminated Hanson from the picture, then finished off Ray Rowe with Made in Detroit, which is an assisted reverse blockbuster off the top, in the mold of Sliced Bread #2.
Winners: The Motor City Machine Guns.
Next week: Bully Ray & the Briscoes vs. Adam Page & the Young Bucks.
