Recap from TJ Hawke:
Bubblegum started the match running down the crowd. He threatened to reveal where Ligero was actually from. Ligero then schoolboyed him: 1…2…3!
Bubblegum was eliminated.
Martin Kirby, under the Ego Dragon persona, went at it with Ligero. Scurll got isolated after a bit, and he was worked over. Scurll was eventually able to tag out to Ligero. Eventually, Ego Dragon kicked Ligero in the balls and got disqualified.
Ego Dragon was eliminated.
With the camera on Dragon, Ligero was rolled up (presumably by Travis) off screen: 1…2…3
El Ligero was eliminated.
Travis, Scurll, and Dar went at it. Tags were no longer enforced by the referee. Dar tried to sunset flip powerbomb Travis, but Travis held onto the ropes. Scurll then killed Travis with a Meteora. Dar then got Travis with his Champagne Super Kneebar. Travis had to tap out.
Kris Travis was eliminated.
Considering Travis eliminated PAC in the first round, I feel like he should have been at least one of the last two. Having said that, I’m okay with watching Dar vs. Scurll to end this match. They traded strikes. They traded pinning combinations. Scurll hit a lope suicida. They then went on to the apron to trade strikes. Dar then hit a double stomp on Scurll’s leg. Scurll came back with a Fucking Machine suplex. Dar came back with the Champagne Super Kneebar. After a while, Scurll was able to make the ropes. Dar then delivered some kicks. Scurll came back with a rolling elbow to the back of the head for a nearfall. Scurll then hit the Torture Rack Backbreaker: 1…2…3!
Marty Scurll is the first ever SWE Speedking Champion.
Scurll challenged Dar to a rematch for the title.
This was a solid match with a lot of fun action. The first half of the match was a little underwhelming, but once the match came down to Scurll and Dar, things picked up for sure. I feel like the first four eliminations in a six person elimination match should have a bit more substance to them since this match crowned a champion.
Match Rating: ***
