Dante Fox vs. Killshot
The feud between the two stems from the fact that they were on the battlefield together. While Killshot was of the opinion that Dante had passed away in the line of fire, Fox looked at it as a case of him being abandoned and left to die by his former friend and comrade.
The match began after Killshot tried to give an explanation to Dante, who shot it down and assaulted Killshot. The action kicked off in a frantic manner with both men showing off their excellent athleticism. The initial high flying scramble ended with Killshot getting the upper hand over Dante. Dante got out of a Top rope Hurricanerana attachment from Killshot and sent him out with a missile dropkick. Dante went on to execute three suicide dives on Killshot with the third one being countered by a timely kick by Killshot to Dante’s face in mid-air.
Thereafter, Dante and Killshot began exchanging blows on the apron with Dante getting the better of it with an insane running shooting star press. Dante looked to capitalise on the momentum and attempted to shove Killshot back into the ring, but Killshot blocked and delivered the neck breaker on Dante. Some breathtaking back-and-forth action ensued with Dante ending it with a springboard cutter for a near fall.
They went at it again with Fox executing an insane jumping back kick. Killshot replied with a spinning kick of his own followed by a cringeworthy cutter on Dante. After a brief exchange of counters, Killshot caught Dante in a biceps submission hold out of mid-air. The action went up a notch as both men were seen dangling on the top rope. Killshot got Dante into the Fireman’s Carry and delivered a jaw-dropping Death Valley Driver onto the apron. You couldn't blame the crowd for being blown away by the spot, who chanted holy sh** in unison.
Killshot got very close fall courtesy of a double knee foot stomp on Fox. Both men were completely spent at this point and were steadily getting back on their feet. Surprisingly, Dante got the edge over Killshot and made full use of it. He positioned Killshot on the top rope and delivered a Spanish Fly.
Dante smelled blood and wasted no time in hitting the Fox Catcher aka a vertical spine buster for the win. The fans were left breathless after what they had witnessed. What.A.Match!
