The men lock up a couple of times but neither man can get an advantage. They then both exchange forearms before Robbie hits several uppercuts which send Hardaway out of the ring. Robbie then follows up with a diving somersault to Hardaway on the outside. Both men return to the ring and Stein hits a suplex followed by an attempted monkey flip which is reversed by Hardaway. Stein backs Hardaway into the corner and hits several shoulder thrusts followed by a face wash but Hardaway gets back into the contest with a drop toe hold, elbow drop to the head and follows that with a German Suplex. Hardaway goes for a second but Robbie throws back an elbow and escapes, then rolls him into a small package for a two count.
When the men get back to their feet, Hardaway spins behind Stein and hits another German Suplex. Hardaway then goes for a top rope move and hits a diving elbow drop followed by several stomps to the back of the head of his opponent. Hardaway continues to focus his attack on the neck of Stein and delivers a neckbreaker but Robbie fights back with some chops. Robbie attempts to suplex Hardaway out of the ring but it’s reversed and Robbie eventually gets bumped out of the ring. Hardaway then comes off the ropes and hits a perfect GTFO~! Crowd loving that one, chants of Hardaway’s name ring around Nottingham.
Robbie gets to his feet and back into the ring to break the count. As K-Hard gets back into the ring Stein grabs him and launches Hardaway over his head for a belly to back suplex. Stein climbs to the top rope and gives Hardaway a big elbow drop. Both men then climb to the top rope and after a struggle, Hardaway hits a brainbuster followed by a decapitation lariat but only gets two. Hardaway drags Stein to his feet and then gets a near fall with a bridging German Suplex.
Stein holds his neck, Hardaway having done him a large amount of damage. Stein tries for a suplex but Hardaway blocks it. Stein tries again but K-Hard stops it once more. Stein is getting frustrated and releases his opponent, going for a hard slap. But Hardaway ducks it before connecting with a massive kick to the head and a spinning elbow, the KTFO~! Stein is dazed but somehow on his feet, Hardaway charges in and takes Robbie out of his boots with a HUGE Decapitation Lariat, seriously the most vicious that I’ve ever seen that move done.
From there Hardaway had the simple task of a lateral press for the three count.
Your winner, KEVIN HARDAWAY!
Quite a simple win in the end from Hardaway. But just as he was celebrating he was joined by someone who’s been eager to face him, based on what he’s been saying on twitter this past few weeks.
