Both men were tentative at the start. Talbot kicked Gambino to the outside and hit a no-hands, running plancha on Gambino, completely taking him out. The crowd went nuts for that big early move. Talbot followed that up with a shin-breaker on the ring apron. Talbot went to work on that injured leg after that. Talbot got a leglock, but Gambino rolled to the ropes to stay alive. Gambino connected with a dropkick to Talbot’s knee and then went to work on Talbot’s leg. Andreas Lasiewicz distracted the ref and Gambino used a chair to further damage Talbot’s leg before tossing the chair back out again before the referee could see it. Boos ringing around Belfast at that sequence of events.
Gambino worked over Talbot some more, but Talbot gave him a Last Call (superkick) out of nowhere to get back in the match. Talbot followed with a superplex and some more stiff kicks but Gambino survived the assault. Gambino hit a discuss lariat out of nowhere to stop Talbot’s momentum. Gambino followed that with a FONGUL!! (Angel’s Wings) 1…2…NO!
Gambino then gave Talbot a DDT and a big splash in the corner, Talbot avoided a top rope splash but ate a big Yakuza kick and rolled to the outside. Gambino THEN HITS A NO-HANDS CORKSCREW SENTON ON TALBOT! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Gabe fly like that! Amazing.
He tosses Jas back into the ring, and TALBOT COMES BACK WITH A LAST CALL! Talbot leaps up the turnbuckle and tries to springboard off the ropes, but GAMBINO CATHCES HIM AND GIVES HIM AN ELECTRIC CHAIR SUPLEX: 1…2…NO! HUGE LARIAT FROM TALBOT! 1…2…NO! LAST CALL! 1…2…NO! Talbot so close there.
Gambino came back with a big DDT and another FONGUL! 1…2…NO! GAMBINO CAN’T BELIEVE IT! ANOTHER FONGUL! 1…2…3!!
Your winner, Gabriel Gambino!
A good win for Gabe, he was out there facing all of Belfast!
