Early in the match there was a lot of back and forth with some really good sequences of counters. They moved on to play to their strengths with Nese using his power and Kalisto flying. They both showed fantastic agility throughout, and the last few minutes became pretty brutal with some of the moves. If this match is any indication of the desire in this tournament, then this is going to be a whole lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter watching the match, Buddy Murphy applauds for his friend Tony Nese.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJack Gallagher instructs Humberto Carrillo on the advantages of wrist locks over high risks.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrew Gulak prepares for his match.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Backstage<\/span><\/em><br \/>\nBrian Kendrick gets some motivating words from Akira Tozawa.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrake Maverick tells Mike and Maria Kanellis that Mike&#8217;s performance last week against Cedric Alexander has earned him a match next week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Cruiserweight Title Number One Contender Tournament Quarter Final Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Drew Gulak vs The Brian Kendrick<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Mike Chioda)<\/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_69e6382fdc943','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_69e6382fdc943\" 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_69e6382fdc943\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Drew Gulak wins via KO with the GuLock<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 13:48<\/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 \/>\nGreat match. This was a battle of wits as much as it was a fight. Kendrick and Gulak tried to out-wrestle each other, and that led to a lot of the match taking place down on the mat. Gulak looked strong, though Kendrick broke free at times and put up a good fight. In the end, this was a bit of a heartbreaker. I really like both of these guys and would like to see both of them in a Wrestlemania match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a very strong show and a great start to the tournament.
