He now has to prepare for Buddy Murphy in less than two weeks at Super Show-Down. Drake Maverick says that tonight he will mediate a face to face confrontation between Murphy and Alexander. But first, Noam Dar will take on Lio Rush. Also tonight, Mustafa Ali will finally get a rematch with Hideo Itami.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Intro Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n&#8220;Hail to the Crown&#8221; by CFO$ featuring From Ashes to New<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 1<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Noam Dar vs Lio Rush<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Darrick Moore)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e603404862a','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e603404862a\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e603404862a\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Lio Rush wins via pinfall after the Final Hour<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 8:13<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. It was interesting seeing Noam Dar as the bigger man in the match. It felt at times he took Rush lightly because of the size difference, and it cost him. Rush was able to avoid a lot of Dar&#8217;s offense, but Dar did still get in a lot of good strikes and holds. It seemed as if Dar might be pulling ahead late in the match when Rush hit a few devastating moves in a row to lead to the finish. I liked this match, and I&#8217;d like to see them go again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrake Maverick sits down with Cedric Alexander and Buddy Murphy.

Murphy says he&#8217;ll beat the hell out of Alexander and take his title.

There wasn&#8217;t a winner, but I&#8217;m pretty okay with that. This match was about showing the lengths both men will go to in order to beat their opponent. Ali took a ton of punishment with Itami hitting numerous strikes and some big moves (like a spinning falcon arrow from the second rope). Ali hit some huge moves late in the match (including a nasty looking splash as both men fell from the top). The feud between Ali and Itami could contend for one of the best of the year if they keep going like this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nGood show.
