The match itself was incredible. The competitors included Ricky Starks, Wardlow, Christian Cage, Orange Cassidy, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Keith Lee. Moreover, the match included some incredible spots delivered by these world-class athletes. Particularly, Orange Cassidy shined in the match as he tried to climb the ladder with his hands in his pockets. Additionally, the veteran Christian Cage speared Hobbs into a ladder. The action kept on going as it spilled all around the arena.
At one point, Wardlow, Hobbs, and Lee made it to the stage where ladders again came into play. However, Wardlow ended up throwing Keith Lee and Hobbs off the stage. Cassidy and Hobbs also delivered an incredible spot when Hobbs super-plexed Cassidy off the ladder.
However, nothing grabbed more attention than the spot involving Ricky Starks and Wardlow. At the end of the match, both wrestlers ended up climbing the ladder, but only Wardlow gained an advantage. He got under Starks and delivered a devastating powerbomb to Starks onto a ladder wedged into another ladder. The worrisome part was that the impact of the steel went to Starks’ neck.
