Hollywood Heritage Championship: Jordan Cruz vs “Everlasting” Richie Slade (with Flex McCallion)
The challenger Jordan Cruz is missing his front tooth after being attacked by Beef Candy last week. Flex takes the mic from Adnan Kureshi to do Richie’s introduction and Cruz sneaks up from behind dumping Flex to the floor and jumping Slade. Everyone is out to the floor and the numbers game hurts Cruz. Cruz is back in the ring and Slade goes on offense and goes for a pin. Kick out and Cruz tries to fight back but his momentum gets stopped almost immediately. Cruz is thrown into the post and falls to the floor again. Cruz is back in and Slade starts working on Cruz’s mouth trying to do more damage to his teeth. Dropkick and multiple covers and kick outs by Slade. Slade & Cruz to the ring apron and a uranage knocks the air out of Cruz. Slade to the top rope but he’s caught and suplexed across the ring. We almost get a double count out but Slade recovers and attacks Cruz who takes strikes to the face and neck but fires up. He throws Slade into McCallion who is trying to distract the referee. Cruz with a forearm and corner lariat. Slade whipped into the opposite corner and hits a tornado DDT but only gets a two count. Reverse flip DDT from Slade and again a cover and kick out. All State Slam from Cruz and Slade rolls out of the ring. Cruz chases and smacksdown Flex. Both men back in. Slade misses his Candy Drop (Unprettier) finish and Cruz hits “Cruz Control” (Styles-Clash-esque sit out power bomb) for the pin.
