Misterioso was fun, but The DKC seemed like he had something to prove after his loss to Rust Taylor last week. DKC looked very good in moments, but Connors and Fredericks are a very good team. They work well together, and Fredericks was looking to continue the momentum he started when he pinned Rocky Romero and got into a scuffle with Jeff Cobb two weeks ago. I particularly liked Fredericks&#8217; strikes in this match. He hits hard, and it looks really good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Jeff Cobb slides into the ring and hits Fredericks with a surprise German suplex. Cobb hits Connors as well, then he walks away. Cobb made a statement here tonight.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJeff Cobb says Karl Fredericks will not make a name at his expense.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClark Connors says he&#8217;s here to win, and he&#8217;s winning.

Lawlor strikes well and he grapples well. I think he still has a little way to go in his transition from MMA to pro wrestling because it felt he was just letting Rocky do stuff at times (rather than trying to NOT let Rocky beat him up), but I think he had a good performance tonight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nTom Lawlor says there&#8217;s one person who&#8217;s safe when he&#8217;s in the ring, and that&#8217;s Tom Lawlor. Why? Because he&#8217;s filthier than everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI think last week was a better show overall, but tonight&#8217;s was still good.
