Masada v. Sami Callihan
These two spent a long time in the combat zone together so there was no feeling out process at the outset of this one. Callihan nailed a pair of exploder suplexes early on that rocked the fans. A Forearm to Remember shook the ring and gave Callihan a near fall. Callihan then applied a STRETCH MUFFLER but Masada made the ropes. Callihan took the battle to the floor and cracked Masada across the back with a chair shot. The referee lets the action continue. Callihan takes Masada back to the floor and nails him again with a chair. The referee calls for the disqualification this time.

A strong message sent by Callihan in this one but what will be Masada’s response? dud

Bryan Danielson (CHIK) v. Claudio Castagnoli (CHIK)
These two have battled all over the independent circuit in the past and know each other well. The story early was the American Dragon attempting to find a way to counter Castagnoli’s power. Danielson uses his quickness to avoid a running clothesline and connects with a Yakuza Kick. Danielson goes for the kill with a CATTLE MUTILATION but it is too early in the match. Castagnoli catches Danielson in an attempted moonsault (ch) and slams him to the mat. It is a momentum changer. A cobra clutch suplex (ch) sends Danielson to the mat for a 1 ½ count. Danielson struggles to his feet and Castagnoli connects with a bicycle kick that nearly knocks out the American Dragon. The three count is academic. *

Adam Pearce v. Willie Mack
Mack is out to a great reaction as he comes to the ring. Mack and Pearce have spent years in the same rings up and down the American west coast so the expectations for this main event bout were high. The action was closely contested early on. Pearce presses the advantage and a swinging neckbreaker sends the bout to the floor where both men brawl into the fans. Back inside, Mack gets control with a running clothesline and a T-Bone suplex. A Sit out spinebuster sets up a CHOCOLATE THUNDER BOMB for a 1 count only.

The announcers wonder what this means between Anthony and ACH and what response, if any, ACH will have. Have we seen the emergence of a more aggressive Robert Anthony? If we have, ACH had better watch his back.
