SEMI-FINAL MATCHES
THE DREAM TEAM vs. TEAM USA #1
Double J puts over the young American team, saying Brian Cage is wearing Norman Smiley’s boots tonight. Vampiro never missing an opportunity, “I’ve known Norman for 30 years and he’s only bought two pairs of shoes in all that time.”
This one was all action from beginning to end, getting more and more crazy as the match goes on. Story of the match was pride and ego, as the Dream Team spent way too much time showboating for the fans – Vamp called them out on it dozens of times – and the rookies taking advantage of it. Lots of high-flying stuff, but also some ground game with Patron and Moose. They all ended up on the elevated ramp at one point, throwing suplexes. The tables turned in the end, when Moose gets cocky and starts toying with Patron, who rolls him into the cross armbreaker for the submission.
During the match, Patron threw the Mexican flag at Jeff Jarrett and the two teased going at it. Striker calmed him down, but they are definitely teasing something between them.
Advancing: The Dream Team
TEAM MEXLEYENDES vs. TEAM USA #2
The Americans immediately go into super heel mode, throwing all the disrespect at the legends. They work over Blue Demon for most of the match. They builds towards the comeback, which sees all three of them hit suicidas, throwing they can still pull out the big moves when it counts. A brawl breaks out on the floor and Johnny Mundo takes advantage with everyone else distracted, hitting Wagner with the Shooting Star Press for the huge, huge surprise upset.
Advancing: Team USA #2
-The legends try to celebrate on the ramp afterwards and the Americans crash their party. Demon goes after Matt Hardy and they chase each other around, as Johnny Mundo gives them and the fans the double birds. And now they’ve put heat on Team USA for the finals.
