Round One - Fight!

AJ Styles vs. Rob Van Dam: AJ Styles wins a classic high flying affair, but littered with blown spots, RVD looked really ring rusty at points and AJ carried the whole thing.

Samoa Joe vs. Tomko: Samoa Joe goes through to the next round in a stiff affair, Tomko is still developing his style and couldnt dominate Joe with any consistency, Joe found a weakness in Tomkos attack, countered and forced him to tap out.

Homicide vs. Low Ki: Homicide defeats Low Ki in a strong style classic, Low Ki looked to have the match in the bag but Hernandez interfered and helped his LAX partner get the win, The referee didnt see the outside interference and so Homicide cannot be disqualified.

Pac vs. Nigel McGuiness: Nigel McGuinness defeats Pac in a bit of a mismatch, Pac taking to the air at every opportunity and Nigel just biding his time and waiting for his opponent to make a mistake. After a blown move, McGuinness locked Pac into a hold that he just had to tap from.

Curry Man vs. Doug Williams: Doug Williams uses all the moves and counters in his arsenal to overcome Christopher Daniels in his comedy persona, Curry man just didnt seem to have enough spice to upset the Brit.

Jay Lethal vs. KENTA: KENTA takes Black Machismo to school and stretches him and batters him with kicks, but is forced to work for the win, Lethal is the quicker of the two, but KENTA takes advantage of having So Cal Val at ringside and manages to get the DQ win. After some ringside shenanigans So Cal Val gets her man DQ'd putting KENTA through to the next round.

Christian Cage vs. Takeshi Morishima: Takeshi Morishima works over the smaller Cage, but Christian is the quicker and almost gets the win, however as we saw earlier in the night Morishimas long time tag partner aids him in getting the win to advance him to the next round.

Bryan Danielson vs. Spud: Spud almost picks up the shock of the tournament, but Danielson saves face by getting the win. Spud put his all into this match and quite possibly if he had faced someone else could have got the win, but Danielson never put a foot wrong.

Thats the results, so the line up for Round two looks something like this;
  1. CM Punk vs. AJ Styles
  2. Jeff Hardy vs. Samoa Joe
  3. MVP vs. Homicide
  4. Santino Marella vs. Nigel McGuiness
  5. Shelton Benjamin vs. Doug Williams
  6. Edge vs. KENTA
  7. Paul London vs. Takeshi Morishima
  8. Chris Jericho vs. Bryan Danielson.
The results for this round will be posted soon, and in far more detail than Round One.
