HC 2nd rope twisting crossbodies him. HC corner lariats him then low dropkicks him. HC springboard armdrags him.

AR goes for a springboard and is hit with a jumping knee that sends him to the floor. AR hits shots to the gut in the corner. HC then hits shots on him. AR hits some kicks and a crossface shot. AR does a cobra clutch.

AR top wristlocks him. HC armdrags him. He elbows and boots him out of the corner. AR misses a flying knee. HC dropkicks him. HC top rope crossbodies him for 2. HC spinning enzugiri's him. HC has him in the torture rack and drops him chest first on the mat to win.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. AR probably throws hard strikes but they aren't the prettiest. HC did some flying and definitely was the face, but the lack of a real crowd hurt this. 

Mustafa Ali vs Riddick Moss

RM throws him off the waistlock and takes trash. RM does a nice throw. Ali chops him and RM chokes him for it. Ali flips over him in the corner and running dropkicks him twice. RM knocks him over twice then flips him with a lariat for 2. 

RM facelocks him. RM bends over and is kicked. Ali back elbows him then his 2nd rope diving headscissors is caught. Ali lariats him over the top and goes with him. We go to break and return.

RM is seated up top. Ali flips off the buckles and holds his knee. RM clips him from behind. RM ddt's the leg. RM stomps him in the corner. RM pulls his leg around the ropes and boots it. RM spinning toe holds him. Ali's leg is banged off the post.

RM hits a hard running corner spear then suplexes him for 2. RM half-crabs him. Ali hits up kicks and enzugiri's him. RM misses a corner charge and is kicked in the face. Ali rolls into a facebuster on him. 

Ali is pulled off the buckles. RM runs at him and is hit with a euro. Ali 2nd rope twisting ddt's him. Ali misses a 450 off the top. RM hits a neckbreaker and wins.

Thoughts: RM won as expected. I would have liked to see him win with a knee related move since he worked it most of the match. RM had some nice offense here with some spears that really looked like they hurt. It was alright enough but not much more.

Overall thoughts: We had 2 new matches along with the various recaps. The main was better than the opener here but neither were must see. The crowd with the developmental wrestlers also weren't too into this and helped bring this down a bit. I wouldn't recommend this one.
