Minutes to Bell Time

Dominic Garrini defeats Zenshi

MLW Fusion February 8

Garrini started the match by wrestling Zenshi to the mat and not letting go of an arm bar. Once Zenshi finally got away, he did hit some offense. Things looked bad whenever Garrini had to run. When Zenshi came off the top rope, Garrini grabbed his arm out of the air and pulled him straight to the mat. It looked like the ref was going to call for the end of the match, but the bell never rang. Garrini put Zenshi in an arm bar despite the ref trying to wave him off. In the end, Garrini got a victory by referee stoppage.
