James Beard is the official. Gordy and Fuji start us off. Double team by Fuji and Saito in the corner on Gordy, this makes Saito the legal man in.  SAITO SUPLEX on Gordy (p3r9) followed by another SAITO SUPLEX with a near fall! (p4r5) Gordy manages just enough offense to tag Dr. Death in, Williams gets the upper hand, tagging Gordy back in for double football tackle. Saito manages to tag Fuji back in. Gordy starts to dominate the offense, Gordy hits PILEDRIVER!!!

Saito in to break that pin attempt up. Gordy follows it up with a POWER BOMB to Fuji! Saito dives to just break the pin fall up. POWER BOMB again (p9r8) and this is officially over! 

Winners, and advancing: Miracle Violence Connection

Much as I like Fuji and Saito, MVC are beasts and a threat to any team in this tournament.
