Bodies were flying from the off as the match started in chaotic form. Things were mainly chaotic for Hiromu Takahashi and Rocky Romero, who weren’t communicating effectively until a double superkick and some forever clotheslines saw them work their issues out. With Blake Christian and Master Wato, and Low Rider and DOUKI laid out, the call was made to bring the first ladder into the match, but a double back elbow from Christian saw a nasty spill and a dented up ladder.
The spills continued for Rocky, sent into a corner propped ladder by a DOUKI monkey flip. Japones Del Mal’s partner would eat a ladder on the floor courtesy of Christian though, removing his back up as the GCW Champion sent DOUKI to the ropes. DOUKI had the receipt in the form of a ladder to the head of Christian though, and as Low Rider came back in, some innovative offense saw the Mexican connection in impressive form.
Though Christian once again put the stop to Low Rider’s ascent, the luchador nonetheless turned things into a spectacular tope con giro, and a series of dives ended with a DOUKI Bomb to the pile. Christian was alone in the ring, but opted to land a springboard 630 just because before he went for the sandwiches hanging above the ring.
As his ego got the best of him, ‘All Heart’ set up a massive ladder outside the ring, but was cut off by Hiromu, who launched himself bodily off the massive apparatus. The match only growing ever more chaotic, bodies flew everywhere, and everyone was worse for wear, a split open Wato most visibly so. All the same, the BOSJ winner combined with Christian to create a platform for success, only for Blake to low blow his own partner and pursue the victory himself. DOUKI denied Christian, but Hiromu would walk the tightrope across the makeshift platform; DOUKI landed a sunset bomb on Takahashi and took the sandwiches for the win.
