Lynn hits a a back elbow that knocks Kyle off his feet, Lynn off the ropes again and Kyle catches him in a bear hug but just falls forward for the slam and the 1, 2, 3.

Match Thoughts: So that was a bit more impressive from Killer Kyle, i still feel that he is giving away too much offence to the smaller guys. He should slowly walk to the ring like he does, then decimate his opponent and then slowly walk to the back, that would be awesome.

We get a quick recap of Gordy’s win from last week, which leads to an interview with Terry Gordy.

Gordy says that a lot of people will fall, and still believes that no-one can beat him, he says that he can back it up and there will be bombs dropping everywhere.

Match Thoughts: Excellent match. Easily the best match so far in SMW. Just a great back and forth fast paced match up. Both guys put on a great performance. Horner really impressed me and he showed that he clearly needs to be a high flyer. Rip put on a fantastic performance as well, he played the heel roll very well. I hope these two get more matches together.

We are in the back with Bob Armstrong, he wants to know who Jim Cornette is by entering a mystery team into the tournament. He says that he wants to know who the team is next week. Here comes Jim Cornette himself, he says that he is trying to save the tournament as soon as he team is revealed all the others will run away. Cornette says that next week he will have a video of his team. Bob says that he will believe it when he see’s it.

Bob Caudle hypes next weeks main event, which is The Koloffs and Jimmy Golden vs. The Fantastics and their ‘Mystery Partner’ That match should be great.

Show Thoughts: Another great show from SMW. It appears they are slowly finding their groove. The matches tonight were very good. Everything on this show had a purpose. The main event was just fantastic, and as I said before i hope those two get more matches in the future. The debut of Dirty White Boy was done excellently, and we shall see how he and Mr. Ron Wright work together. I’m wondering if Jim Cornette will reveal his team next week or not? Easy thumbs up for this weeks episode.
