Lasiewicz gets the early advantage with a headscissors, but Richards gets out. Richards goes for a chop but Lasiewicz ducks, and then retaliates with a kick which Richards also ducks. Lasiewicz hits a big lariat, and that ends the politeness as they just trade stiff kicks and chops. Lasiewicz hits another lariat, but Richards hits a leaping heel kick. Lasiewicz applies a chinlock, but Richards goes to the corner. Lasiewicz hits a few kicks, but Jason slaps him. Bad idea. Lasiewicz hits a spinning elbow to the face. Ouch. Jason tosses Lasiewicz like a pizza though, and then lights him up with chops. Lasiewicz returns the slap, and Jason responds by stomping on his head in brutal fashion.
Richards hits an Exploder Suplex for 2. Lasiewicz escapes a waistlock but eats a dropkick. He runs into a pair of hard boots but finally hits a powerslam to get back into it. Lasiewicz hits a pair of clotheslines, a vertical suplex and a flying lariat for 2. Richards gets to the ropes to escape an STF and uses the tights to send Lasiewicz to the apron. Richards hits a slingshot Falcon Arrow for 2. Richards hits a corner clothesline, discus clothesline, and a backdrop backbreaker for 2. Lasiewicz avoids the Emerald City Flash and hits a flurry of kicks, a springboard missile dropkick, corner yakuza kick and a dropkick in the corner.
Lasiewicz hits a sit-out powerbomb for 2. Jason avoids the Unforgettable Fire and hits a corner enzugiri and a Tiger Suplex for 2. Richards tries the Seattle Stretch (Dragon Sleeper with Scissors), but Lasiewicz quickly gets the ropes. Lasiewicz hits a kick to the leg and a dropkick to send Jason to the floor. Lasiewicz charges Jason, and Richards GERMAN SUPLEXES HIM ON THE APRON! SICK! It somehow only gets 2, so Jason follows it up with the Saito Suplex and a Roundhouse kick for 2. Jason tries the Emerald City Flash, but Lasiewicz lifts him up, UNFORGETTABLE FIRE (Argentine Backbreaker into Falling Reverse DDT)! The pinfall is academic.
Your winner, Andreas Lasiewicz!
A good match to open the evening, Jason Richards showing his toughness and he rocked the GDW Champion for a while, but Lasie’s experience came into play and he walks out with the win.
