No Rope Barbed Wire I Quit Match: Champion Steve Corino vs. Terry Funk, ref Mickie Jay
Corino on the mic before the match he says that he has pull with the office and Funk is no longer a main eventer and that’s why this is the opening match tonight. Bell rings and Corino immediately grabs the mic and give Funk one last chance to say “I quit” before they start going at it. Funk takes the mic and tell Corino to do the same cause he’s going to kick his ass. So as much as I want Corino to not have the belt I don’t think it’s happening here. If this match took place before the three month break then it would have but not now. They fight each other over who is going into the wire for a bit. Corino slides under the wire and goes to the floor. Funk follows him. Corino stomps Funk as he tries to get back in the ring. Corino picks up a wrench and starts hitting Funk with it. Funk takes the barb to the face and he’s bleeding. Funk gets punched and stumbles back first into the wire. Corino tells Funk to give up. Funk fights back and sends Corino into the wire. JJ Dillion shows up at ringside. Corino is busted open. Funk hits a piledriver. Neckbreaker by Funk. Funk hits a stunner and Corino bounces off the mat and lands face first right on a barb. Funk rakes Corino’s face on the barb and when he pulls it away something remains on the barb. Eww. They go to the floor and Funk piledrivers Corino to the floor. In the ring Corino whips Funk into the wire. Corino with a piledriver. Funk goes low and hits another stunner. CW Anderson and Simon Diamond hit the ring but Funk fights them off. Corino has a bottle of rubbing alcohol and he pours it onto Funk’s face! They wrap Funk in tons of wire but he won’t give up. Funk is choking on the wire. Corino attacks the ref and throws him out of the ring. Funk won’t say I quit. Corino says he doesn’t care if Funk lives or dies so he better say “I quit”. Mickie Jay gets back in the ring and calls for the bell as Funk passes out at 21.04. Funk gets cut loose from the wire by a bunch of refs. Gary Hart comes out and kicks Funk for having too much pride to give up now but not 15 years ago when he managed Funk. Hart’s bodyguard Mr. Woo puts the boots to Funk. Hart nails Funk with a chair and they leave. This match was much better then their first barbed wire match.

Chad Collyer vs. Low Ki (w/ Gary Hart & Mr. Woo), ref Josh Rich
Corino makes fun of Low Ki for always being so mad. After last night I feel like Low Ki should just kick Collyer’s ass. Corino says Low Ki beats the maids in Japan when he wrestles there. Collyer has Low Ki down in an arm bar. Ki does a headstand and kicks Collyer in the chest super hard. Collyer with a cross body for 1 and back to the arm bar. Super loud chop by Ki. Collyer drop kicks Ki to the apron. Ki ducks a punch and snaps the back of Collyer’s head and neck across the top rope. Low Ki attacking the neck of Collyer.

Low Ki comes back and hits the black magic. Collyer fights out of the dragon clutch and hits a german for 2. Mr. Woo nails Collyer and Ki puts the dragon clutch again for the win in 10.07. Collyer got in a bit more offense then I would have liked but over all Low Ki pretty much dominated and just beat the crap out of him.
Screwface Match: Vampiro vs. Raven, ref Mickie Jay
Raven explains that this is just a falls count anywhere match. The match that has been months in the making is finally underway. They go to the floor right away and go right by the announcers’ table.

Raven tries to wake him up, he picks up a chair and turns into a spin kick. Vampiro covers and gets the win in 7.37.
Weapons Match: GTC Champions Extreme Horsemen vs. Samoan Island Tribe, ref Josh Rich
Here’s another match that 3 months ago I think the titles would have changed hands. Not so sure now. Tonight is Samu and Mana. Mana starts with CW Anderson. Mana uses some head butts on Anderson and then gets a chair but Anderson ducks it. Mana then with another head butt. Samu and Simon Diamond tag in. Samu uses his power to and a chair on both his opponents. All four men in the ring now and the Samoans are just over powering the Horsemen early on. Diamond and Anderson are able to hit superkicks on Mana for a 2 count. Diamond uses a chair on the head of Samu but Samu comes back. Corino jumps in the ring and he and Diamond pancake Samu. Corino goes to lariat Samu but he pulls Diamond in the way. Samu with samoan drops on both Corino and Diamond. Samu covers but Anderson breaks it up with a chair shot. Anderson nails Mana with the chair 3 times. Corino brings a table into the ring but Mana comes back. He sits Anderson in a chair and charges. Anderson gets up and spinbusters Mana through the table. Samu is up but gets superkicked by Diamond. Mana up now and he spears Anderson. Samu charges Diamond in a corner but Diamond moves. JJ Dillion comes into the ring and picks up a chair and goes towards Anderson. Anderson pushes him down. Dillion hands the chair to Mana but then hits him in the back of the head with his shoe. Anderson and Diamond double superkick the chair into Mana’s face and get the pin in 9.36. After the match the Tribe take out the Extreme Horsemen. This feud looks to continue. The Dillion stuff looked pretty shity. I think the Tribe should have dominated this match the whole time until Dillion comes out at the end. Him joining the Horsemen would have felt more impactful then.
My thoughts on the show…
I really liked the opening match, and Hart/Lynn was also good. Other than that, the rest was just OK, with some crappy short matches thrown in. First night was much better.
