ACH vs. TIGER MASK
ACH came out wearing a Tiger Mask mask in honor of wrestling against one of his biggest inspirations. He smacked the hand he’s been selling all tour long against a ring post early on, and as a result spent the first few minutes of the match getting worked over. Tiger focussed his opponent’s bandaged shoulder and bandaged knees throughout..
ACH eventually struggled back and hit a beautiful splash from the top turnbuckle and actually hit the legendary Tiger Driver for an extremely close nearfall. The veteran came back and hit his own Tiger Driver, showing him how it’s done, but still only got a nearfall.
They started throwing sickening chops across the chest that you could literally hear echoing around the arena, fought up the ropes and continued to do the exact same thing. Everyone thought it was over after a double underhook bomb from the top rope, but ACH rolled through into a small package to sneak a win out of nowhere.
Winner: ACH
Both ACH and Tiger Mask will end the A Block with a respectable 6 points.
