Never Say Never Match One: Simon Gotch vs. Jordan Oliver

MLW Never Say Never Match One: Jordan Oliver vs. Simon Gotch

The first match of MLW Never Say Never, was Injustice member Jordan Oliver taking on Simon Gotch. Gotch came out first, and commentary made it known that the Contra Unit member has always had the upper hand over Oliver in matches.

Gotch had taken advantage of his jiu-jitsu experience against Oliver. The match saw a lot of technical wrestling involved in it from the get-go.

This continued till Gotch hit Oliver in the face with a knee. Once the Injustice member was back up, Gotch went back to technical wrestling.

Simon Gotch had Oliver well scouted. While on the outside of the ring, Gotch saw Oliver go towards the ropes. Knowing his opponent would go for a dive, Simon slid back into the ring.

Oliver came back in and went for a blind back dive but was met with Gotch's forearm. Simon followed it up with a fast roundhouse kick.

Oliver rolled to the outside of the ring. Gotch caught his breath and went right back on the attack. MLW has a 20-count, so the Contra Unit member had time before he rolled Oliver back into the ring.

Gotch attempted to hit his finishing move seven minutes into the match, but Oliver blocked it with a huge DDT.

Oliver and Gotch traded strikes back and forth. Both men exchanged flying forearms until Oliver hit a clothesline.

Oliver went for the cutter, and Gotch got him in a chokehold. Oliver reversed out of the hold and hit the Clout Cutter.

Winner: Jordan Oliver
