Pete tries to do an up and over and is superkicked. Lee flying forearms him. Pete hits a bitter end and wins.

Thoughts: It was an action packed match as you would expect. Pete did his usual finger work before hitting the bitter end. Lee flew around. It wasn't great or memorable but it kept my attention.

Josh Briggs vs Dante Chen

JB running facekicks him to start then forearms him over. JB clubs on Chen. Chen flying headscissors him. Chen hits a bunch of wild shots on JB in a flurry. Chen front facelocks him. Chen hits a step up enzugiri. Chen mounts him in the corner and hits forearms. JB elbows him.

JB hits elbow drops. JB chinlocks him then hits a sidewalk slam for 2. Chen hits a bunch of shots. Chen hits a backfist then a jumping ddt for 2. JB side slams him and splashes him. JB hits a big lariat and pins Chen.

Thoughts: They had a tough task here as both are unknowns to most of the fans and nobody had any reason to care. They did what they could with it and Chen showed some good fire. JB's lariat looked good as usual. It was average.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual and lots of recaps. Neither match was particularly great or must see, but both were watchable. I wouldn't recommend this one but it was only 15 minutes total or so and there's worse ways to spend 15 minutes.
