    From Resesda, CA, Saturday night:

    In tournament first round matches:

    • Marty Scurll b Rich Swann
    • Jack Evans b Angelico
    • Chris Hero b Timothy Thatcher
    • Aero Star & Fenix b Drago & Pentagon Jr.
    • Tommy End b Drew Gulak
    • Speedball Mike Bailey b Drew Galloway
    • Zack Sabre Jr. b Ricochet

    Young Bucks & Super Dragon b Andrew Everett & Trevor Lee & Biff Busick in a hardcore match. The Bucks & Dragon also destroyed a couple of referees, Excalibur (who cut a promo on them after the match) and Chris Hero.

    This was among the best live shows I’ve seen.  From a wrestling standpoint, this was better than even this year’s WrestleMania, actaully by a pretty significant margin. Hero vs. Thatcher, the AAA tag match, Galloway vs. Bailey, Sabre vs. Ricochet and the main event were all tremendous, and also all completely different.

    The finals of the tournament Sunday will have Brian Cage, Busick, Will Ospreay, Trevor Lee, Pentagon Jr., Matt Sydal, Scurll, Evans, Hero, End, Bailey and Sabre Jr.
