Mark Andrews flew around the ring trying to figure out how to take down the very stout Coffey. Andrews looked good at times, but at other times the power of Joe Coffey (and the threat of his brother Mark Coffey) was too much for Andrews to handle. This was a solid opening match with some nice exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, the Coffey brothers stomp Mark Andrews.
