Ethan Carter III, Rhino, Rycklon & Snitsky
vs Tommy Dreamer, Team 3D & ?????
Dreamer pulls Ethan out of the ring and hits him a few times, then Ethan stomps him on the steps before Dreamer slams him on the mat and gets a kendo stick. He uses it to put Ethan in an abdominal stretch, then he hits a reverse pumphandle slam before connecting with several mounted punches in the corner. Dreamer motions to Dixie Carter in the balcony and bites Ethan, then he slingshots Ethan throat first into the bottom rope as Rhino enters. Rhino hits Dreamer with a trash can lid a few times, then he and Ethan hit Dreamer with a kendo stick as Devon makes his way out. Devon hits Ethan with a trash can and slams Rhino down, then he hits him with a trash can lid and Dreamer uses a cookie sheet as we go to a break.
We get back to see Snitsky has entered the match, then Bully runs out and beats everyone with a trash can and starts whipping Ethan with his steel chain. Bully punches him in the corner and bites him, then Devon punches Snitsky in the opposite corner before he hits Snitsky in the face with a cookie sheet. Bully busts Ethan open as Rycklon runs out with a chair, and he hits Bully and Devon with it before choking Devon with his boot. Ethan chokes Bully with his chain as the lights start to flash, and Al Snow makes his entrance and hits Rycklon with Head. He attacks Rhino before headbutting Ethan a few times, then he connects with a clothesline before Snitsky and Rycklon clothesline him to the floor.
Bully takes them both out with a crossbody, then Dreamer catches Rhino with a DDT before Rockstar Spud hits Dreamer with a kendo stick. Dreamer shakes it off and Devon drops him with a spinesbuster, then Snow uses Head to hit a top rope headbutt before they all shove each other and scream ‘GET THE TABLES!’ Snitsky and Rycklon attack Devon but Snow takes them out with a springboard moonsault, then Rhino walks into a Death Drop by Bully and Devon, and Devon makes the cover.
Bully screams for Dixie Carter and tells her to look at her team, because they just got their asses beat down and the clock is ticking on her too.
Winners – Tommy Dreamer, Team 3D & Al Snow
BP: I enjoyed this; especially all of the nostalgic stuff like the four guys all yelling to get the tables. Al Snow was a nice surprise for the crowd, and his appearance didn’t really overshadow the match or anyone else. They are really doing a good job drawing this angle out and gaining interest for the payoff here.
