Lindaman, Shigehiro Irie, and Cima (Stronghearts) vs. Josef Samael, Simon Gotch, and Jacob Fatu (Contra Unit)

MLW Fusion January 4

Cima and Gotch started things off trading chops until Cima hit a snap mare and a drop kick to get the early advantage. Cima taunted Contra unit before dropkicking Gotch and tagging in Lindaman. Gotch managed to get Lindaman in his corner and tagged in Samael to swing the advantage back to Contra before Fusion went to commercial. When the program returned from commercial Fatu and Irie were in the ring and soon everyone was wrestling on the outside. Irie connected with suicide dive on Fatu who immediately answered with a suicide dive of his own. Stronghearts triple teamed Fatu with Cima hitting a metiora from the top and Lindaman connected with a deadlift German Suplex. With Cima laying in the center of the ring, Fatu hit a springboard moonsault for the pinfall victory.
