Waco vs Atila Khan

Stephen E and Lilith Khan are with Khan. Waco hits a punch, Khan no sells it and Waco tries to beg off. Waco gets punched and foot choked in the corner. Khan double axe handles Waco as he hangs off the apron and Waco's head is banged off the apron.

Khan hits a fist drop and a headbutt drop on Waco. Khan cranks Waco's head then foot chokes him. Khan hits a double throat thrust then taps him out with a grounded cobra clutch.

Thoughts: It was a quick squash here with Khan getting the win as expected.

Khan and E put the Saudi flag on Waco after. Khan foot chokes Waco then chokes him with his hand.  Lillith Khan then gets some shots in as well as they leave. 

Destiny Lynch interviews Brandon Baretta. He says he's been busy but is happy to be back. He says business has been picking up and going strong as he mentions going to OVW, the NWA and other promotions. He says his future starts today as he challenges Glenn Williams. He says Glenn did the unexpected and won the Central States title. He says Glenn won the title and now he's getting a shot. Brandon says he's been learning from world champs and becomes one tonight.

Payton Ayres vs Jayson Breed

Lillith Khan and Stephen E are with Ayres. PA backs up JB in the corner and misses a shot. They lock up and PA gets a punch in. PA eye rakes him then back elbows him. PA chest clubs him and I think Stpehen E gets a cheap shot in. PA chest clubs JB then Lillith rakes JB's face.

JB crossbodies him and is caught with a fallaway slam. PA chokes him. JB hits shots to the gut then punches. PA facekicks him for 2. PA chinlocks him. JB gets out with shots to the gut then hits punches on PA. JB corner splashes PA.

PA knees him in the gut and hits a double axe handle. PA rakes JB's face on the ropes. PA misses a charge in the corner. JB hits some lariats. Stephen E trips JB. PA hits a world's strongest slam and wins.

Thoughts: JB didn't have good strikes here on this one and it wasn't really what it should have been. It did get enough time though and the kids in the front row got into this.

We see clips of a Big Texan and Bobby D vs Atila Khan and Kowalski match with Danny Bow as the special ref. Khan throws D over the top and is DQ'd. Khan pounds on Texan then The LA Hustlers helps out. They handcuff Texan around the post. Danny starts fighting and is beat up on by all the heels. Haku comes out seemingly to make the save and he butts heads with Khan. Haku shoves him then they double lariat Danny. Khan and Haku then pound on Danny. Dany gets beat up on by all the heels then takes a kick from Haku. Various wrestlers then come out to help. Travis Cook gets on the mic say they buy what they want and take what they can't buy. 

We then see the Travis Cook promo with Devastation Inc from weeks ago where he talks about promotions trying to fight Vince and not taking the buy out.

They talk about an upcoming Captain's Falls match on November 2nd and a 6-man tag on November 23rd. They say the 11/2 match is a match where the corner man of each wrestler feels their man can't go anymore, they wave the flag and end the match. Atila Khan has Stephen E. in his corner and Danny Boy will be in Gary Jackson's corner. The winner decides the stipulation for their team on 11/23.

Herb says it's like a last man standing match and says it'll be an all out brawl. He says we will find out who the tougher of the two men is. He says one of the people in the 11/2 match may not even make it in the 11/23 match. Herb says he has got a lot to lose on 11/23 and Drew says he hopes he knows what he is doing. 

Promoters Corner

We see clips from a show where Buff Bagwell is brought out. Drew interviews him on the stage. Buff talks about the place being respectful but then says they can f**king smoke in here. Buff talks about getting paralyzed. Buff says he's 2 years sober. Buff talks about wrestling in St. Louis. He says he and Scott Steiner wrestled and talked about them burning a St. Louis Cardinals jersey and Drew asks how he left St. Louis alive. Buff then talks about where you can find him online.

Lucky P. Larson and Kowalski are interviewed by Drew. Larson says Kowalski may hold the Classic Title 500 years. He talks about the various titles Kowalski won and says he's a triple crown champ. He said he walked through Big Texan like a knife through butter. He said he did it all on his own and said he walked through Big Texan. He tells Curtis Wylde to bring a howitzer if he wants to shoot his shot at Koawalski. He says he aill avalanche all over him.

Kowalski says he is a walking hell and said he told Texan to count his days as champ. He says no one takes down The Kingpin. 

Glenn Williams vs Brandon Baretta

They lock up then lock up again but still get nowhere with it. Glenn side headlocks him then Brandon reverses it. They shoulder battle. Brandon flying shoulders him three times then corner pslashes him. Brandon then bulldogs him. Brandon charged him in the corner and goes into the buckles when Glenn moves. Glenn stomp flurries him then hits punches in the corner.

Glenn corner facekicks him and boots him out of the ring. Sean Vincent bangs Brandon's head off the steps outside. Glenn overhead suplexes him. Glenn hammerlock ddt's him. Brandon hits some shots out of the corner then 2nd rope diving shoulderblocks him. Brandon is rammed into the ref on accident. Glenn then nails the ref on accident and Glenn is sent into the ref on accident. Brandon TKO's Glenn and the ref is still down.

Brandon tries to wake the ref up and takes a low blow from Glenn. Bobby D comes in and ends up using a chair on ref. The ref sees it and DQ's Brandon. Brandon is confused and argues with Bobby about it.

Thoughts:
Brandon looked good here. This had a messy finish and some of the ref bumps weren't done that well. I'm curious as to where things go with Bobby D and Brandon as they were having issues after Bobby ran in and it felt like something is going to happen there.

Overall thoughts: They replayed some footage from prior eps so there wasn't as much new content here as usual. The main had a messy finish and everything was about average here. I wouldn't recommend this one though I didn't mind watching it.
