Due to my sheer laziness I wasn’t able to get this up earlier, let alone send my stuff into the Judgment Day Roundtable. It’s currently 12 AM Monday Morning and I’m only just starting this. My bad.
Opening Contest: Paul Burchill verses Simon Dean
Dean shoves Burchill first, before Burchill twists on the finger and flips Dean over. Burchill turns it into a wristlock and Dean tries to escape the hold, with Burchill keeping it locked after a hiptoss, Dean gets to the ropes. Dean gets a low kick to Burchill and whips Burchill into the corner, into the other corner Burchill flips out onto the apron and elbows Dean and sends him into the top turnbuckle. Over the top rope with a leg drop on Dean. Burchill fails at the C-4 an gets sent into the corner, where Dean capitalizes with a spear before nailing a knee drop to the shoulder of Burchill. Burchill gets sent into the ropes and comes back into a kitchen sink. Dean gets a reverse bearhug; Burchill gets to his feet and elbows Dean off of him and bounces off the ropes with a sunset flip over Dean, but Dean won’t go down and sort of dropkicks Burchill’s hands! Nicely done, you really need to see it to get what I mean though. Two count for Dean. Dean steps on the face of Burchill and pushes down and picks Burchill up in a nifty (jinkies) abdominal stretch variation before sending Burchill into the ropes. Dean goes for a kick to the midsection but Burchill catches it and nails an elbow drop to the thigh. Dean goes for another spear in the corner but Burchill gets a knee to the face of Dean. Burchill with clotheslines and a twisting fisherman’s suplex for a two count. Burchill goes up top and jumps off with a Moonsault which misses! Dean goes into his bad, as does Burchill! Burchill brings out a flask and the referee gets Dean’s bag off of him, and Burchill spits the drink into Dean’s face, C-4 and it’s over!
Winner: Paul Burchill
Outside of a few sloppy moments, which in fairness where made up for in some pretty nice original moments, this was a pretty good match. Not spectacular though, but good enough. I’d like to see these two get given some more time together; Six out of Ten.
Still to come: Psicosis verses Gregory Helms.

Tag out to Kash as Noble puts Roman in a powerbomb position and Kash nails a top rope clothesline for the victory!
Winners: Jamie Noble and Kid Kash
Too many tags for my liking between Noble and Kash, and I really don’t care much for this new Dog Collar gimmick even though I do think it will help them get them more over, since it really brings out their rough and tough side. But apart from that what we had here was a better than average squash. Two out of Ten.
