October 24th, 2012
Full Sail University: Orlando, Florida
Earlier Today, Heath Slater goes up to Dusty and asks for a title shot tonight, he says no but Vickie Guererro comes over and says she's here to represent the future of wrestling Heath. Dusty then says for Vickie Heath can have his match, but it's none-title. And if Heath wins he can have a future title match.
Brodus Clay (w/The Funkadactyls) vs. Camacho
Brodus showcase, big splash ends it.
PAIGE! TONIGHT!
Byron Saxton is with Richie Steamboat on the stage, Saxton says Richie isn't cleared to compete tonight. Richie says Ohno is a coward for hitting him in the back of the head last week. Ohno comes out onto the stage, he says Junior Steamboat is hurt.......and is FINISHED! He says it's time for him to sit with his dad and reminisce about the good times, even though he never had any. Ohno then hands him a white towel and tells him it's time to throw it in.
Kassius Ohno vs. Trent Baretta
Good times, they do some good counter wrestling to start before it turns into an Ohno style match where he slows down the pace with striking. Trent keeps trying to quicken it up, but Ohno is the veteran so he doesn't allow it and keeps him grounded. Ohno works the next with different cravats and throws, Trent doesn't get a comeback, cause Richie comes out with the towel and throws it into Ohno's face temporarily blinding him, he then turns and walks into the Busaiku Knee from Trent who covers for the win. **3/4
Layla & Alicia Fox vs. Paige & Audrey Marie
Oh Layla how I miss you, Paige and Foxxy start they have another good mat sequence with counters and big moves, Audrey and Layla get in, they do some stuff it's not all bad but you can clearly see it's choreographed. Layla/Foxx cause they're black have to play the heel role
Foxxy busts out her psycho rough style as she beats the shit out of Audrey for a bit during the heat segment. Paige has a solid hot tag leading to the match breaking down, Paige has Layla set for the Cradle DDT, but Audrey tags herself in. So Paige slams Layla instead, Audrey covers her but Layla counters into a rollup pin for the win. Backstage: Paige yells at her, who shrugs her off. **
Backstage: Briley Pierce interviews Seth about his match later, Seth says he was always told to respect his elders, but in Vickie's case she's just older and louder. As for Heath, his 15 minutes of fame is up and his time is now.
Lincoln Broderick vs. Bronson
Both guys are the new high breed big man, so they're jacked up well Lincoln is Bronson is more of the thicker man. And neither guy is a giant, Bronson mixes up power and amateur wrestling before locking in a leg lock for the win.
Backstage: Ohno is tearing up a room.
United States Champion Antonio Cesaro comes down to the ring, he says he is the champion of everyone here and as the champion, he takes this title to a level that no American can ever reach. Ask not what your United States Champion can do for you, ask what you can do for your United States Champion. He asks them all to rise for the national anthem. HE THEN ASKS FOR THE NATION ANTHEM OF SWITZERLAND BE PLAYED! But Tyson Kidd comes out instead, he says if he wants them to do something for him, he should cut out the man purse in America. Kidd says he wants a shot at his US Title right here, and Claudio yells in German. Kidd says he gets it he can speak 5 different languages but he has something that's universal. SLAP! Kidd fights him out of the ring, and Cesaro backs up.
Heath Slater (w/Vickie Guerrero) vs. Seth Rollins
Decent champ showcase, the highlight is Regal calling Heath a "Silly Ginger Git" on commentary. The match is mainly focused on Heath/Vickie with her yelling at him the whole time to "Do Something" so yeah, Seth does Seth stuff, he again hits the standing Slice bread #2 for the win. **
