Drew Galloway vs. Grado

Grado actually looks quite credible here, with the idea that fighting Galloway is forcing him to up his game and be a serious athlete. Lock up and Drew goes for the takedown but Grado cartwheels out.

Aiden O'Shea vs. Crazzy Steve

O'Shea won with the clothesline to gain three points. Highlight here was probably Pope and Josh's back and forth on commentary as they marveled at Stevie's act.

Tigre Uno vs. Zema Ion

Zema won with the Slingshot Tornado DDT to get three points. Decent match with both guys doing as much as they could do in a not a whole lot of time. The final sequence, with Uno and Ion exchanging various quick, frantic cat-like high-flying moves was, in particular, quite good.

Winner: Zema Ion
