Alexander Hammerstone vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr.

MLW Fusion January 4

MJF joined the commentary team for this match. Hammerstone and Smith started the match with a pair of collar and elbow tie ups. Smith took Hammerstone to the mat with a snap mare and worked Hammerstone’s arms until the referee called for a rope break. Interference from Holliday  allowed Hammerstone to dump Smith to the outside and Holliday took some additional cheap shots sending Fusion to commercial. Back in the ring, Hammerstone went to work on Smith in the corner. Dave turned things around and landed a number of punches on Hammerstone before whipping him to the corner. Smith hit a leg drop for a near fall and followed that up with a series of three German Suplexes. Davey Boy hit Hammerstone with a powerslam followed by a diving headbutt for pinfall victory.
