Backstage:
Josh Mathews is in the back with Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian says that the Future is now. He says the superstars of the past were Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart, the superstars of now are Triple H and Batista, and the future superstar is Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian said the Future had arrived, and we then went to the opening video.
Nunzio vs. Frankie Kazarian
The Finish: Kazarian went for a neckbreaker, and Nunzio scored with one as well and both men are down. Nunzio hit a back body drop, followed by a pair of clotheslines and a side suplex for two. Nunzio hit the Arrivederci for another two count and then went up top for the Sicilian Slice, but Kazarian moved. Kazarian then hit a Fisherman’s Suplex for the win on his debut. After the match, Kazarian got on the mic and said that the Future looks good.
Winner – Frankie Kazarian
Simon Dean vs. Mike Kruel
The Finish: Simon went for a suplex, but Kruel reversed into a small package for two. Simon came back with his push up choke out before stomping Kruel and then covering for two. Simon then locked in a chinlock but Kruel came back with an atomic drop and then a dropkick for two. Simon hit a clothesline and then finished Kruel with the Simoniser for the win. Dean then stuffed an energy bar down the throat of Kruel as he celebrated his win.
Winner – Simon Dean
William Regal vs. Chris Benoit
The Finish: Regal went for a double underhook suplex, but Benoit blocked and hit a back body drop, but Regal kept hold of the underhook and then hits a butterfly suplex for two. Regal hit a standing dropkick for two and then went for a Tombstone but Benoit reversed and hit a shoulder breaker before locking in the Crippler Crossface for the submission victory. Match of the Year Candidate right here, I suggest everyone try to get their hands on a tape if they missed this one.
