(Thunderstrike)
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, AMERICAN THUNDER!"
Thunder came out under the boos from the crowd as he made his way into the ring.
(Ancient spirit)
"And his opponent, from Guadalajara, Mexico, EL DRAGON!"
He ran and jumped into the ring where he flipped around before removing his cape and giving it to the ref. This last one called for the bell as both opponents glared at each other.
After walking around a bit, Thunder went for a clothesline which Dragon ducked and replied with blows to Thunder's head before kicking the back of his leg, making him kneel down. He then Irish whipped him in the ropes and got knocked down by a big shoulder tackle.
Thunder pushed a loud battle cry before throwing Dragon into a corner and charging into him with multiple Body Avalanches after running in the ropes. Eventually, this knocked El Dragon out of the ring. Thunder tried to follow, but he got back in the ring, knocked the suplex master back with a baseball slide, and then ran out into him with a Step-up Top Con Hilo.
Dragon then got on the apron and jumped for a Diving Hurricanrana which Thunder blocked and Powerbombed him into the security barricade. Thunder then grabbed the luchador and started tossing him into the security barricade all around.
He then went for a Body Avalanche which Dragon dodged, letting him crash ribs first into the barricade. Dragon then got on the barricade and jumped to finally catch Thunder with a Diving Hurricanrana. He then brought him back in the ring before jumping on him with a Springboard Frog slash and the pin.
"1!...2! KICKOUT!"
As Thunder was kneeling, Dragon delivered kicks to his chest and back until the suplex master finally ducked and caught him with a combo of three German Suplexes. He then climbed a top turnbuckle and went for a Diving Moonsault which Dragon avoided, letting him crash hard.
As Thunder rested in a corner, Dragon charged and got pushed above the top rope and out of the ring. Thunder got out and surprised him with a clothesline before bringing him back in the ring and applying a Gutwrench Suplex followed by an Ankle Lock submission hold.
The luchador shouted in pain before rolling forward, sending Thunder to let go of him and then caught him with a Standing Hurricanrana and the pin with it.
"1!...2!...KICKOUT!"
El Dragon immediately dropkicked Thunder out of the ring and climbed a steel pose before jumping out on him with a 450 Sitting Senton. He then brought Thunder back in the ring and tried to land a Reverse Frankensteiner which Thunder resisted and pushed the luchador up to land a Thunder slam. He followed by grabbing his leg for another Ankle Lock and this time, El Dragon tapped out.
"Here's your winner by submission, AMERICAN THUNDER!"
The suplex master kept the lock for a few more seconds before letting go and pushing a roar to which the fans booed.
"El Dragon did his best, but American Thunder ultimately came out on top," Joey remarked.
"Our young luchador should still be proud thought; he managed to push a wrestling veteran pretty far," Bobby said.
