Gas is booted by both in the corner then hits a double clothesline. Gas goes for a double clothesline then is hit by Edge Stone from behind for the DQ.

Edge boots Gas then does a nice headhunter on him.

Thoughts: It wasn't awful or anything but it was an average match. The finish was dirty here which didn't help things. At least it wasn't for no reason though as it looks like Ivory and Erick are now aligned out of this.

Overall thoughts: The show has pretty good production values. The wrestlers are not typical indy wrestlers and there were some angles going on here. I really only liked one match here, but the format is good and I think I would watch this promotion again. The show wasn't great but it's not like it was bad or anything, just average.
