MLW Fusion Middleweight Open Challenge: Lio Rush (C) vs. Brian Pillman Jr
This MLW Fusion match had a sixty-minute time limit. Referee Larry Peace Jr. had to keep the peace in this one. Pillman Jr was sporting ring gear very similar to the one Chris Beniot wore in WCW when he was part of the Four Horsemen.
The match started with an intense back and forth as both men showed off their skillset. Lio Rush took control, hitting an Asai Moonsault on the outside of the ring. Pillman Jr. was able to gain some momentum when Rush charged at him, and he hit a big Powerslam to rock the champion.
Brian kept his offense going with a series of chops and uppercuts to Rush. The challenger lost his offense when he was attempting to hit a stalling suplex on the champion. Rush bounced off the bottom rope, hitting a Springboard Cutter, and followed it with The Final Hour Frog Splash for the win.
Winner: Lio Rush
Grade: B
