Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI def Jake Lee, Gabe Kidd, David Finlay (w/Gedo) — (8:26, Brainbuster)
-
Match ended oddly, though it may have been a work.
Gabe had started holding the back of his head as if he had gotten his bell rung at some point, but after selling the pin he took part in the post-match brawl (Jake Lee however, disappeared before the brawl began).Update: Apparently Jake Lee hurt his knee. Though I have to say I feel like that ToSpo article was published fairly quickly and is more speculative than usual, which could be just a coincidence but is a little bit suspicious in regards to the “traitorous” Smart Bastard. Second update: Lee’s injury was a result of Finlay accidentally hitting him. Again could always be a coincidence, but that detail would make storyline sense for a work. -
