## Match

Cyclops immediately takes down the Thing as the bell rings and Scorpion joins the fracas as Link wait for the opportune moment to strike. Link manages to bloody the Thing after stomping on his face, before delivering a moonsault to the Thing. Scorpion retrieves a cane from under the ring. The Thing gives Cyclops a piledriver, which bloodies Cyclops. A giant swing from Link to Scorpion sends Scorpion hurtling into Cyclops.

Link delivers a sidewalk slam to the Thing before following up with a piledriver. Cyclops connects with a vertical suplex to Scorpion. The Thing gives Scorpion a clothesline and Link gives Cyclops a piledriver. The Hulk gives Scorpion a Widow’s Peak but the pin-fall attempt is broken up at 1 by Link. Link grabs a cinder block from under the ring but Cyclops smashes it with a cross body dive. A reverse suplex from Link takes Cyclops down. Link brings in a wooden chair.

Link tries to give Cyclops a ZDT but Cyclops evades the attempt. However, he is unable to evade a Tornado DDT from Link. The Thing gives Link a brutal clothesline. The Thing delivers a ZDT of his own to Link and covers him for a 1-count. Scorpion tosses Cyclops to the outside. Cyclops delivers a Jackknife Powerbomb to Scorpion at the ringside area and the Thing leaps onto both with a cross body dive over the top rope, having taken Link down with a clothesline. Scorpion climbs back into the ring but is suplexed back out by the Thing, who is then knocked off the apron by Cyclops. Link goes to check on the situation but realises at the last moment that throughout the entire exchange since Scorpion first threw Cyclops to the outside, at least one man has remained outside the ring, so the referee’s count has remained unbroken- Link hops onto the apron at the exact moment the referee calls a 20-count and both the Thing and Scorpion are counted out the match!

*BOBBY: That stupid idiot Scorpion got counted out!*
*WADE: We’re down to two guys left now, Link and Cyclops.*
*BOBBY: Damn it, I just lost $500! […] I just lost $500, Scorpion, you bum!*
Wade Needham and Bobby Spade react with shock for different reasons.

Now effectively a singles match, Link attempts a crossface on Cyclops, then a sleeper hold, but neither have much effect.

Cyclops takes Link off his feet with a cross body press. Link counters a move from behind with a low blow kick. Link gives Cyclops a giant swing and covers Cyclops for another 2-count. Link attempts a ZDT but Cyclops avoids it- a sequence that repeats, but with Link delivering a low blow mule kick again.
