Then only to have two very pissed off big men back in the ring they each grab a side of the ladder and dump them to the outside through another series of ladders it looks like a nasty fall and Will looks like he took the worst of it.
Elgin though eats a clothesline from Archer as he ascends the ladder and Lee makes his way back out grabbing Archer by the tights pulling him down and delivering a discus clothesline.
Lee now sees Dustin & Elgin back up and a clearly injured Will as they each try to come to Lee who grabs the ladder throwing it into them and they all take the ladder and fall down and Lee then again tries to climb the ladder but, Archer with a german suplex off the third step of the ladder.

Main Event
Dealer's Choice Card Ladder Match
Brodie Lee vs. Dustin Rhodes vs. Michael Elgin vs. Lance Archer w/Jake Roberts vs. Will Ospreay
The match starts out pretty hectic as Lee has not been able to get in the ring yet and Dustin Rhodes & Will are taken out by Stereo Powerbombs through ladders set up outside the ring. Elgin & Archer stare at each other and trade shots with one another each trade powerful slams to the mat.
Archer and Elgin trade with one another until Will & Dustin are back up and with ladders start to beat up the two men. Dustin sets up a ladder climbs up as Will springboards to the otherside of the ladder and the two of them start to trade shots with one another each fingertips away from the card.
Then only to have two very pissed off big men back in the ring they each grab a side of the ladder and dump them to the outside through another series of ladders it looks like a nasty fall and Will looks like he took the worst of it.
Elgin though eats a clothesline from Archer as he ascends the ladder and Lee makes his way back out grabbing Archer by the tights pulling him down and delivering a discus clothesline.
Lee now sees Dustin & Elgin back up and a clearly injured Will as they each try to come to Lee who grabs the ladder throwing it into them and they all take the ladder and fall down and Lee then again tries to climb the ladder but, Archer with a german suplex off the third step of the ladder.
Archer is turned around by Rhodes who takes the big man into the corner and begins to lay into him with a series of let and rights as Elgin brings another ladder and sets it up in the ring. Will makes his way to the top rope even though he is injured he hits a crossbody to Elgin so he thinks but Elgin grabs him and powerbomb attempt no!
Will with rana sending Elgin into the turnbuckle.
Rhodes has Archer set up on the top rope and sets up for a superplex as he goes for it Will climbs up slowly the ladder and Archer reverses the superplex and turns it into a old school reverse ddt!
Archer then looks up at Will who is trying with all his might to get up the ladder. Archer makes his way up the ladder as Lee seems to be back up and grabs a chair and throws it in. He then rolls in and begin giving chair shots to each. Lee grabs Will and hits a big boot on him before grabbing him and throwing him outside onto Elgin.
Archer is livid standing right behind Lee he grabs him and hits the inverted razors edge throwing him throw another ladder set up and buries them in the broken ladder and the people as Dustin Rhodes tries to climb the ladder.
He is within finger tips as Roberts tells Archer who like a man on a mission climbs the ladder grabbing Dustin by the back of his head and bashing it off the ladder to the point his head is badly bleeding he then throws him off and grabs the card winning the match the blood smeared across his chest.
