• Match #6 Rick Cornell vs. Allan Funk
  • Okay I like Allan Funk so far and from what I saw in this match Rick Cornell is a decent worker, BUT the best way to push young talent is have them job to better talent.  I don't care about either of these guys so they get a long story short.
  • Long story short: Cornell hit some nice spots at the beginning which he then hit again later in the match so I'm guessing he needs some more work.  Funk come back out of nowhere with a German suplex for the win.
  • YOUR WINNER: Allan Funk via pinfall following a German suplex.
  • Not a bad match, just uninteresting.  Cornell's greeness really shown through also.
