TOURNAMENT FINALS
THE DREAM TEAM vs. TEAM USA #2
Rey Mysterio, Alberto El Patron & Myzteziz vs. Matt Hardy, Ken Anderson & Johnny Mundo
Hardy and Mysterio locking up to start the match – lots of old memories being brought back. The heels tag in and out, playing mind games with Rey as they refuse to lock up with him. Patron has enough and tags in, making them get physical quickly. He goes to work on Mundo and tags in Myzteziz, who does some high-flying stuff but ends up selling for the heels for several minutes. At the halfway point, Patron gets back into it and hits Anderson with the step-up enzuigiri, but Hardy attacked from behind to keep the advantage in the heel corner. Eventually he hits a DDT out of the corner to mount a comeback, making the hot tag to Rey Mysterio for the big pop. Hardy and Mundo both take the 619 but Anderson saves the match. They set up a ridiculous Tower of Doom spot where all six guys basically crash and burn. Mysterio with a victory roll but the ref was checking on Patron, and Hardy breaks it up and hits the Side Effect. Alberto puts the armbar on Hardy, Anderson breaks it up and the heels now triple team the Heavyweight Champion with one minute left on the clock. They work over Patron and Hardy hits the Twist of Fate, but the clock runs off.
MYZTEZIZ vs. KEN ANDERSON
Both guys are exhausted. The match creeps along at a slow pace, moving from one big move to the next, with lots of last-minute kick-outs. They get down to one minute and Myzteziz hits the Swanton Bomb for a nearfall. Anderson hits the Mic Check for a nearfall, and the clock expires.
MATT HARDY vs. ALBERTO EL PATRON
Hardy attacks from behind as they’re figuring out who is going to get into the match. Matt puts on a sleeper hold as they’re both tired. Patron builds back and breaks the hold, throwing kicks in the corner and firing away with elbow shots. Hardy hits the Side Effect…two-count. Patron hits the Back Cracker…two-count. Hardy with the Twist of Fate…TWO-COUNT. Both guys are slow getting up as we hit one minute, but Patron fires off with a superkick. With 15 seconds left he locks in the armbar! 10..9…Hardy hangs on…5…4…3…and the clock expires.
JOHNNY MUNDO vs. REY MYSTERIO
They lock-up and break off, and there’s a ton of feeling out for the first two minutes. Mysterio out of nowhere hits a big DDT and hits the 619, then mounts the turnbuckle and hits a top rope splash! 1…2…KICKOUT! He goes for the 619 again, but Mundo catches his leg and hits the Moonlight Drive for a nearfall. Big knee shot to the face. Mysterio comes back with a superkick and connects with a springboard crossbody, but Mundo rolls through and hits him with Starship Pain! 1…2…Mysterio grabs the bottom rope. They fight to the top rope and Mysterio perches on his shoulders, hitting the victory roll from the top! 1…2…3!
WINNERS: THE DREAM TEAM
-Matt Striker and Vampiro say goodnight. They keep the feed going. Mysterio cuts a promo for the fans in Spanish – I can’t really tell what he’s saying, but I got the gist that he dedicated the win to Perry Aguayo. All the teams come down and get a good reaction from the fans. They start handing out awards from the judges. That’ll end our coverage for the night.
