Match

Douglas James sent Averno to the outside with a dropkick, but Averno swept James’ legs on the apron. After sending James into the barricade, Averno dropped him again on the apron and then into part of a table. Back in the ring, Averno used a buckle bomb to earn a near fall.

James caught Averno with a superkick and a meteora, but the referee made the slowest three count ever. With both men back on their feet, Averno connected with a stiff forearm and the referee stopped the match.

Bad ending especially with the slow three count.
